1794: Germ vs. Terrain Theory, Phytoestrogens, Newborn/Toddler Labs, Washing Salads, Enzyme Diarrhea, Ear Candling, Cupcakes (HouseCall)

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… Let’s get started!    Ryan: I was hoping you could shed some light on viruses and antibodies. I guess this kind of gets into the germ vs. terrain theory and are viruses really the bad guys they are made out to be. How does one reconcile that a child at just 7 days old has been shown to have something near 100 million viruses in its stool, but does not have the ability to produce antibodies yet, and yet will be completely fine? Stella: Hi Dr Cabral! Hope you're having a lovely day, thank you for showing up every weekend :) I've been doing a significant amount of research on phytoestrogens and I'm quite confused because I've hear you talk in the past how these increase estrogen levels. However, even though there is research on that, there is also research on phytoestrogens actually also being antiestrogenic. So it looks like phytoestrogens have been shown to have both estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects. Which one is it? Chelsea: Hi Dr. Cabral. I was wondering what labs you would run on a newborn just to make sure everything looks good and that the baby is healthy. My son is now 2 and 1/2 months old and just developed some eczema/ or maybe possible food allergy? I would like to get to the root cause of this. What labs would you recommend? As always, thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge. Karla: How would you recommend washing salads in South America if tap water is not an option? Is it better not to wash it? I’m not sure how to wash salads or veggies with something that is not running water… Anonymous: Is there a specific reason why someone might experience diarrhea and upset stomach when taking digestive enzymes? Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral:)I’ve recently learned of ear candles and I’m wondering what is your opinion on them? And also, if you would recommend using them, how often?Thank you so much for being our go-to person for everything health-related.. means so much! Have a lovely day everyone and happy healing! Priya: Please I want to eat cupcakes. Can we have desserts on our cheat meals for the CBo 3 month plan?   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! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1794 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)
