    3830: Cleanse for Inflammation, Bed Wetting, HRT & Sleep Problems, Reverse PCOS & Enemas, MCAS & Immune System (HouseCall)

    2026/08/01 | 17 mins.
    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: 
     
    Alicia: Hi there, thank you for your time. I would like to know what kind of cleanse you would suggest for someone who has arthritis, neuropathy and gut issues. Lots of inflammation and already gluten free. Has had a long standing relationship with pharmaceuticals due to multiple injuries and is now off prescriptions but dealing with a fragile nervous system and digestive system. Thank you.  
     
     
    S: Hi Dr. Cabral. Our 11 year old son still wets the bed from time to time. In fact lately, it's gotten worse. He is top of his class, a heavy reader, extremely inquisitive and very very active and talented in sports. BUT he is small for his age (15th percentile) and hyperactive at times. Any advice would be invaluable. Thanks.  
     
     
    Joy: Hi Dr. C, Thanks for all you do! Let's assume you have a post-menopausal family member who read the book Estrogen Matters and made the decision to go on HRT for benefits to brain, bones and symptom relief. She feels better but still has terribly disruptive sleep. She took the Stress, Mood and Metabolism Test and had values indicating high nighttime cortisol and elevated hormones except DHEA which was out of range low. She's done CBO protocol and has been on the sleep protocol for a month with limited relief. Would you suggest she get off HRT or continue HRT while incorporating something else to get to more optimal ranges or do you think it's mainly the nighttime cortisol that's causing the sleep problems? Seems like both issues may be impacting. No room here to share specific values.  
     
     
    Anonymous: I did tests from EquiLife and am working to reverse my PCOS symptoms. Long story short I still have high testosterone despite working at it for a few years and alleviating a lot of other symptoms. HTMA and OAT showed low vitamins and minerals even though I have been supplementing and eating well for years. So we looked at digestion and stool testing revealed an IGA of 4, low elastase, low propionate, NG for Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, few commensal bacteria, no dysbiotic flora or yeast. I worked through the mold protocol and am now on the heavy metal. As part of my protocol, I have been doing weekly enemas. I am on month three of doing them weekly and today I passed what I believe was a mucus plug hours afterwards. Is this something to be concerned about? Can I continue enemas?  
     
     
    Jana: 39 female. 3 years w/ your coach I've healed my gut, finished all your protocols & testing.I continue w/ your supplements & suggestions (sauna, walking).I'm struggling with chronic fatigue & inflammation, immunodeficiency, nasal MARCONs (past exposure) & scalp psoriasis.I've had infections most of my life (strep, pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus).Doctors suggested Pepcid + Allegra 4x daily (MCAS) + LDN (hEDS).I'm trying to avoid lifelong biologics + immune therapy.Does your histamine protocol replace/support the suggested Pepcid/Allegra combo for MCAS?What recommendation for rebuilding my immune system?15 of 22 pneumococcal titers are nonprotective despite 3 PPV23 vaccines. I take Histpro + Vit C & Inflamma Soothe + others. Increase dosage? Need guidance on supplementation & what else to try.

    3828: Blood Tests That Detect Early Cancer (TT)

    2026/07/30 | 14 mins.
    Early detection can make a significant difference when it comes to cancer. 
     
     
    While there is no single blood test that can detect every type of cancer, advances in biomarker testing are providing new tools that may help identify potential concerns earlier.
     
     
    In today's episode, I break down the blood markers and biomarkers that may be used to assess cancer risk, identify potential warning signs, and monitor certain types of cancer.
     
     
    We'll explore how these markers can detect signals from tumor cells, changes in surrounding tissues, or responses from the immune system. I'll also discuss how the effectiveness of these tests varies depending on the type of cancer and why combining appropriate blood work with imaging and other diagnostic tools may provide a more complete picture.
     
     
    So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3828 to discover which blood tests may help detect cancer earlier and why early detection is such an important part of proactive health care.

    3826: The Parasite Outbreak Sickening Thousands Across the U.S. (Cyclospora Parasite) (TWT)

    2026/07/28 | 14 mins.
    A microscopic parasite called Cyclospora has been linked to contaminated fresh produce and has affected thousands of people across the United States.
     
     
    Unlike typical food poisoning, symptoms from Cyclospora may not appear until days or even weeks after exposure, making it difficult to know when or where you were infected.
     
     
    On today's show, I break down what Cyclospora is, the symptoms to watch for, and the foods most commonly associated with contamination.
     
     
    We'll explore simple steps you can take to reduce your risk, what to do if you become sick, and when it's important to seek medical attention.
     
     
    So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3826 to learn what you need to know about Cyclospora and how you can continue enjoying healthy foods while taking practical steps to protect yourself and your family.
     
     
    Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!
