1506: Gallstones, Joe Dispenza, Extended...

Dr. Stephen Cabral
About this episode

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!

This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!

Check out today's questions: 

Megan: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a friend who says she has a lot of gallstones and I tried to find a past podcast on this but couldn't find any ways to treat them naturally, would you be able to offer some light on this topic, and if it is possible to get rid of them naturally? Thank you for everything you do.

Ryan: What are your thoughts on Joe Dispenza's work and meditations? Do you practice anything similar in terms of connecting to the quantum field? Have you seen some of these spontaneous healings that seemingly take place during some of his retreats in your own experience with clients? From what I can understand, if you can truly feel the feeling of your healthy future self, the autonomic nervous system can't tell tell the difference and begins to respond as if you were healthy. Super interesting stuff.

Ryan: When it comes to extended fasts, I see 2 schools of thought. One which I have learnt through your teachings is that you should be fasting on a day you don't have a lot to do, a relaxed, chilled out day. I have often seen the opposite recommendation too, where it is recommended to stay busy with your day such that you're not thinking about it too much and the time flies. I know one can be busy and still relaxed, but probably not for most people. Would it be best perhaps for beginners to stay busy, and once you find fasting easier you try to focus on a more relaxed day?

Emily: Dr. Cabral did a post cast with the Faster Way and a friend and I are debating about something he said as it was a bit contradictory. We bought the glucose meter to see if our morning coffee broke our fast (as he suggested), and he gave two responses to testing and results while fasting. 1. If your blood sugar stays under 100, 30 mins after drinking coffee then you're still in a fasted state. 2. If your glucose readings before and after coffee are different (spiked) then you are no longer in your fast. The question is if your blood sugar spikes with coffee 10-20 points but youre still under 100 are you still in your fast?? I am a coach with the faster way to fat loss and this has confused quite a few of us that listened to the podcast. Just hoping for some clarification. Many thanks!!

Ashley: Hi, I am currently on day 3 of your detox and I am on the road to healing hashimotos. I also literally just finished reading your book. Thank you for your work and giving back to the world in a meaningful way. I hope to do the same. I am wondering why rice is the protein of choice in the detox nutritional shake when the understanding is that rice is high in arsenic? I have been avoiding rice like the plague other then some black rice on occasion. It came down to trusting you, faith, and I have also exhausted every avenue with no long term improvement so here I am on the detox protocol. I am really hoping this approach helps me with the hashimotos and gut health. If you have additional suggestions that would be wonderful. :) I appreciate you and how you share your knowledge. Thank you and have a wonderful day! Ashley

Tiffany: I'm sure you get these emails all the time, but I need your help for my 15 year old nephew. I listen to your podcast and thought you could help. He is all of a sudden experiencing pain in chest and stomach and weakness in legs (he can't walk down the hall sometimes at school without support from the wall), and fatigue. They have gone to hospital and all tests come back clear. They love in TN. We just do not know where to go next. Could you possibly give us some direction? My nephew is usually fun and outgoing, but doctors just keep telling us nothing is wrong. Thank you.

Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!
