Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!

I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…

Natalie: I am interested to know Dr Cabral’s thoughts on the safety of sweeteners like Stevia and Monk Fruit? Monk fruit especially is increasingly showing up in food and supplements and it’s very difficult to find information online about it.

Stacey: Hello, I was recently diagnosed with SIBO and I am wondering what protocol you recommend. I am also breastfeeding Thank you Stacey

Hannah: My question is relating to an ongoing histamine intolerance. I’ve done the 21 day detox, CBO, 2 months CBO finisher, heavy metal & mold detoxes, two more 7 day liver detoxes, and the parasite protocol. Each protocol was helpful but the parasite protocol (I completed 8-wks) is where I saw the most help with my histamine intolerance. It is significantly better than before that protocol in particular, but I can only handle small amounts of high histamine or histamine liberating foods. I get muscle twitches, sour stomach after eating highly acidic fruits such as oranges/berries, my right foot feels weak/like I’m limping, my right ankle swells up especially with beer, and I get stuck burps/trapped air in between and during meals. I also have a persistent scalloped tongue. Any advice?

Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral, I am an IHP Level 2 and RN and appreciate all the work you do and the course you made. I'm slowly chipping away on protocols as it seems I have symptoms of everything. That being said I have a history of recurrent incessant pericarditis resulting in a Pericardiectomy in 2021. My surgeon said this should have gotten rid of the pain - it has prevented me from being hospitalized again but I do still experience pain when stressed and sometimes around the heart when taking deep breaths. Additionally I struggle with a lot of jaw /neck pain. I'm looking for any advice or expertise around addressing pericarditis at the root cause as I know that these symptoms are probably still related to the pericarditis that was only addressed by surgery and not at the root.
