2928: Pancreatic IPMN Cysts, CBO & Birth...

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…

 

Lisa: Hello Again Dr. Cabral, In addition to having a Mega-stomach & colon along with LIMO, which seems to reoccur, I have IPMN branch cysts on my pancreas which have not changed in the last 6 months so will be monitored annually. I am not sure if this has attributed to my conditions, but I do take a digestive enzyme along with HCL with each meal. I am not sure if I am taking enough, but I take what I can afford. My GI doctors have been stumped by my conditions, but did offer antibiotics for my LIMO, which I am considering because my insurance will cover it and I am out of money. What would you do if you had these conditions?

 

Anonymous: Hello! I am currently taking the pill form of birth control. I plan to come off of the birth control in about 6 months. I plan to test my hormones at that point to start rebalancing. I also would like to do the Cbo protocol due to excessive gas and bloating I’ve experienced for several years now. I am wondering if it would be a good idea to do the Cbo protocol while still on the birth control or should I wait until I have come off of it. I know the birth control can have negative affects on my gut so I don’t want to slow my gut healing by doing it while still on the birth control. thank you.

 

Lindsay: Hello,I loved today's episode on rice. I eat a lot of Banza. It's a chickpea rice. what are your thoughts on that? https://www.eatbanza.com/products/chickpea-rice-garlic-olive-oil

 

Luis: Hi Dr. Cabral, Do you have any thoughts on Monoatomic Gold? How about Colloidal Silver as a daily mouth wash? Thanks

 

Jessica: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you for all you do to empower so many people! My question is on melatonin. I know you’ve done many episodes on melatonin and are generally a proponent of its usage in moderate amounts. I typically take 2-3 mg per night. But there are a lot of people in the health space who do not think taking melatonin is a good idea. I hear them usually say something about it being a hormone and not wanting to introduce external hormones to the body if you can help it. But I’ve always found their rationale to be vague. I know you’ve done so much research on melatonin. Could you articulate the “steel man” argument for why taking 1-5mg of melatonin every night may not be a good idea?

 

Jessica: One more question on melatonin - Would you advise someone stop taking melatonin when they become pregnant? That seems to be the conventional wisdom because there is little research on it. But, in theory, it seems like melatonin could be useful for calming the mother’s central nervous system, improving sleep, providing antioxidants, etc. — all of which would be favorable to the baby.
