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…

Michelle: Hi Dr Cabral :). I was listening to episode 529 the "Food Poisoning Fix". Would you be able to update what Equilife products you would use for an adult? I think they may have new names/ updated formulas since the podcast. Thank you for all you do!

Lynette: I've really been trying to eliminate plastic from my kitchen (and life) after hearing you speak about the dangers of plastic on several podcast episodes earlier this year. It's just so hard to find safe replacements for everything. What are your thoughts on melamine and silicone? Are these "safe" plastics? Is using a silicone lid on my ceramic commuter coffee cup safe? What about silicone backware? What about melamine for outdoor picnics? Thanks for you insight into navigating the world of "safe" plastics!

Tana: Hi Stephen, I cannot drink tap water without completely losing my mind. I get crazy emotional and unstable. I drink extremely filtered water (not RO). But if I shower with a filter, I lose all my color and muscle and can't even function and feel completely devoid of all nutrition no matter what I do. I have SIBO and I am waiting on a metals and minerals test to come back.

Alicia: Hi Dr Cabral My question is I am reading your Rain Barrel book and I came across the chapter where you talk about medications and quote me if I am wrong but I read that they are only needed in life saving events. I have struggled with my mental health since a teenager. I am 45years old mom with kids that I care for. I have tried to get off of psychiatric medications several times and replace it with natural supplements with little success.It’s been very hard and I have responsibilities to maintain. It bothers me to have to take the medications. Do you consider this to be a life saving illness? Any help is most appreciative and I am following your protocols for optimal health!

Elaine: Hi Dr. Cabral, 20+ years ago, when I was in my 50s, I had colon cancer and had 10" of my lower large intestine removed. I've had digestive troubles ever since, although one doctor said the cause of my troubles might be because I don't have a gall bladder. It was removed a few years before I had colon cancer. Now I am in my 70s and am having trouble with neuropathy. My doctor said my vitamin B12 levels were low, so prescribed a high dosage thinking that would help. But the B12 seems to be making my digestive troubles worse. I'm wondering if not having part of my large intestine could be preventing me from absorbing vitamins and causing digestive issues? What would you recommend for figuring out the root cause of my stomach issues and my neuropathy? Thanks!
