3418: Bone Spurs & Neck Strength, Double...

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…

 

Lina: Hi Dr. Cabral, My neck has been feeling very fatigue for the past months. My spinal X-ray revealed a mild C5-6 disc space narrowing with endplate osteophyte formation. I am applying castor oil onto this area daily as I believe it help disintegrate bone spurs. Can you please provide guidance on what more I can do to break up these bone spurs and strengthen that area of my neck? Besides neck exercises which I am doing, are there any dietary suggestions or supplementation that would help. I am very grateful for all you do for us in this community. With much thanks, Lina          
          
 
Heather: Hello Dr. Cabral! I am a 47-year-old woman who has been experiencing double vision upon waking that usually lasts until around 11 AM, It does not happen every day but has been happening for a year and a half. It also happens when I have alcohol. I went to my optometrist and he said everything looked good, I went to my PCP and he wanted to run labs. No red flags, so he wanted to do an MRI on my brain. I decided to run the big five labs instead and found out I was low on all the B vitamins, had SIBO & Candida. I did The 21 day detox, completed the CBO protocol and will be starting a heavy metal detox next week. As of writing this I still am experiencing the double vision intermittently. Thank you!    
 
                                                                                                                          
Thomas: Thanks for all your work. It has been a very helpful resource for my family and I as we continue to improve our health. My question is about SPMs (specialized pro-resolving mediators). Can you speak about their efficacy or the lack thereof and whether you've personally used them or use them in your practice?   
 
 
 
Michelle: Hi! Thank you for your show, I’ve learned so much from listening to your podcast! I’m just wondering your thoughts on a dental procedure. After my last dentist appointment I was told I needed two root canals or if I wanted to spend a little more I could have two implants. My question is, which one is safer? I’ve heard root canals can cause problems like low grade infections lasting a long time but I haven’t heard anyone talk about any bad side affects from implants. Thank you for all you do. Michelle                                                                                                                                     
 
Savannah: Hypothyroidism runs in my family both my mom and dad have it and both my grandmothers had it. I was diagnosed in my early 20’s but I haven’t been on medicine since having my son in 2023 and was wondering what’s the best protocol of supplements and foods to help keep the thyroid healthy or heal it if possible. Thanks!
