2704: Large Fibroids, Inflamed Toenail, ...

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…

 

Kate: What to do for very large 9cm & 8cm fibroids?

 

Sidney: Hi doctor Cabral, I have a thick, deformed toenail and the skin around it often gets inflamed, and hurts a lot. I read that the only thing that helps is removing the nail altogether, but I would rather keep it. Is there any way to make it healthy again, or to stop it hurting as much? Thanks so much for you answer! Best, Sidney

 

Kristin: I've been suffering from hives for a year. They started with what I thought was a spider bite on my scalp. A few weeks later I started getting itchy red hives all over my body. I have seen my general practitioner, dermatologist and allergist. I did a ton of bloodwork and they couldn't find any underlying issues or allergies. Prednisone cleared it up, but came right back when stopped. Zyrtec (at first 4 a day, now just 1 a day) cleared up the body hives, but heat and tight clothing bring them back. The itchy bumps on my scalp have never gone away. I have tried apple cider vinegar, avocado oil, coconut oil. I changed bedding, shampoos, etc. I don't know what else to do. Do you have any advice?

 

Eric: Hi Dr. Cabral. I’m a 64-year-old male that has struggled for many years with urinary tract problems (urinary tract stricture as a child that was surgically treated, recurring bouts of urinary tract irritation from various substances and stress, but never any indication of a UTI). Over the past several months I’ve been doing infrared sauna sessions 2X per week, which seems to make my urinary tract problems worse. I use a binder before each sauna session. Two questions: (1) Can a sauna session trigger a large jump in toxins being processed through the kidneys/urinary tract, including oxalate dumping (I’m high in oxalates on the OAT test)? (2) How would you suggest one treat irritation symptoms (raw feeling) in the urethra/bladder area? Thanks!

 

Jessi: I’ve searched the podcasts and can't find that you have ever spoken about the SAAT procedure specifically used for Alpha gal reactions. I've read several testimonials that it has greatly benefited people dealing with this frustrating affliction. Thank you for all your free resources and I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion on this subject. 

 

Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!
