3138: Benefits of Black Seed Oil, Detox & Sleep, Reducing Scars, Chewing Ice & Mineral Deficiency, Night Sweats & Perimenopause, Packaging Products (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… Mel: Hi. Thanks for all you do and the info you provide. It's priceless! I've learnt so much. My question is about Black seed oil. What are your thoughts on its benefits? I'm constantly searching for natural ways to heal my skin and gut. Thanks again for your help. Josh: Hello I have been trying to do several things to improve my overall deep sleep. I am on day four of the 7 day Cabral detox, it's the first time doing this. I am hoping that this can help also with my deep sleep. But I got prescribed some trazodone from my family doctor to help with my sleep. I do not struggle to fall asleep. I wake up occasionally throughout the night. I'm fairly good at getting 8 to 8 1/2 hours of sleep per night, but even with the trazodone, I still only get, one hour of deep sleep. Since I've been on the detox, I still take the trazodone, but I only get about 30 minutes of deep sleep. I'm doing the tracking through my I watch ultra. I know it's not the best tracker, but it gives me a general idea. honestly it feels like I haven't really been able to get good sleep. Laurie: Hi Dr. Cabral, First of all, I want to thank you for all the support you provide so many people, I really value and trust your advice. My question is regarding healing from a surgery. I have a surgery which will leave a scar on my neck. Do you recommend anything in particular to help fade this scar, maybe red light therapy and/or other things. thanks so much! Erin: Are there any studies that link ice chewing with a mineral deficiency or any other sort of deficiency? I have been chronically addicted to chewing ice for almost three years… in this time I've had two babies. I've always been told "you're low on iron." Which was true during my pregnancies (a few points below normal) but since then they have returned to a normal level. I've done the iron supplements to no avail. Do I just need to break this bad "habit" or should I look into other underlying causes? What are your thoughts? Samira: Hi doctor Cabral, What are your favoriete supplements or natural solutions to combat night sweats during perimenopause? I really appreciate you taking time to answer this. Thank you! Samira Patricia: I was wondering why more supplement companies don't use glass, aluminum or paper products for packaging. Besides the health benefits, there are massive environmental benefits. Would EquiLife consider making the switch?
