2410: Bump on Lip, Birth Control & Weigh...

Dr. Stephen Cabral
About this episode

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…

 

Melissa: Please help me my daughter is 29 vegan eats healthy and take supplements. for a year and a half now in the very middle of her lip it feels like a knot and it certain times it swells up Hué Mongus had a bops recently they didn’t biopsy right where it’s at they biopsy next to it because the surgeon said whatever is in that is in the same area and it showed nothing can you please give us an idea how we can get her lip to go down? They had recommended Pepcid and antihistamines which she’s done so many and nothing ever worked they also recommend to do the same thing again and add prednisone that because of her past eczema which was recently healed and her past acne were really really too scared to go with prednisone any suggestions please please please thank you

 

Lisa: Hi! I love your podcast and appreciate you answering our questions! I came off the birth control pill 6 months ago and since I have stopped it, I am now up 9 pounds. Is this normal post birth control pill? Is there anything else I should be doing? Not sure if this is just water retention or bloating and will go away as my body gets used to not relying on birth control. Any insight would be helpful!

 

Sharon: Hi Dr Cabral, my daughter keeps getting a pain on her right side, just below the rib cage on her back. it’s been going on for a while now. Her bilirubin is high and her skin has a yellow tint. She’s thinking it could be her gallbladder. What are your thoughts on this? Is there anything she can do or a supplement she can take? She did a 7 day detox a few weeks ago. (However, this has been happening before the detox) Thanks for your help & all that you do.

 

Sharon: You’ve done a lot of research on wheat & gluten. I’m wondering, In those studies, did you also find out if they were eating the wheat/gluten from the store bought flours or if they were eating freshly milled flour from the wheat berry? You have to know that the flours in the store have been stripped of all their nutrients & fiber then “enriched” with 4 or 5 synthetic vitamins. Diseases became way more prevalent when they started doing this to flour. Freshly milled, has a ton of nutrients and fiber. Only missing a few nutrients to make it a “complete” food. It’s very Biblical as well. I’m curious to know if their studies were on the store flour, fresh milled flour, or both, independent from one another. Please help

 

Anonymous: Hi! Firstly thank you for all your wisdom over the years. You have helped me so much on my health journey. I have been thinking about my rain barrel and tracking the progression of my health issues over the years. As a child I had asthma, weak immune system, very lackluster and thin hair, and a lot of allergies to dust, pollen etc. As a teenager I ate a lot of sugar and developed insulin resistance. I still had allergies, but also got bronchitis, alopecia areata. In my 20s, i started getting skin issues, brainfog, water retention in face, androgenetic alopecia, and a lot of food allergies to lectins, salicylates and histamine foods. I have performed tests and i have insulin but no parasites, candida or sibo. However, i have leaky gut which i am trying to heal. Creating a timeline has me wondering, is it possible to have leaky gut or histamine intolerance as a child? Also do you have any thoughts on this progression (no medical advice ofcourse, just interested in your perspective).

 

Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral -What makes some people more susceptible to mosquito bites than others? Is it blood type, diet, etc.? When outside in the summer and fall I consistently get multiple mosquito bites (and sometimes they swell) when others I'm with with do not. I do have your recommended bug repellant, Herbal Armor, but I haven't been using it everytime I go outside. I'm just curious why I seem to be extra susceptible and also looking for your recommendation to stop the itch. Thank you!!
