3522: Melatonin & Vivid Dreams, Lichen Planus, Daily Supplement Suggestions, Protocol Roadmap, Autoimmune & Gluten (HouseCall)

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: Allison: As an IHP I have a question that has come up for a few clients. Although most people do great with 1-2 full droppers of liquid melatonin why can it cause nightmaresor vivid dreams for some? Oliver: Hi Dr Cabral, can you tell me anything about Lichen Planus? My dad has it in his mouth, causing it to be very sensitive to temperature, acid and spice. My mum has it on her head causing hair loss. Do you know what the root cause is and if there is anything that can be done to help? Al: Dr. Cabral. I don't have any real health or weight issues and would like to support my body to stay that way. Once a year, I do AIP dietary protocol (just fish, poultry, broth, vegetables, low-glycemic fruits, olive & coconut oil) for a month, but no supplements. Could you please suggest annual supplements that are the most economical for a healthy male in early 40's. Could herbs like milk thistle, dandelion, NAC (for liver support), oregano, thyme, clove oils (for anti-bacterial/parasitic support) and maybe chlorella (for heavy metal detox) be taken together during that one month of AIP annually? Or would it be better to take some during AIP and others in a different time of a year? I eat and live clean during the whole year, but don't have funds for any labs. Please advise, thank you. Mike: Hello Dr.Cabral. I have tried your liver detox, parasite cleanse, CBO and then heavy metal detox. My health is pretty great by now and since I would like to keep it that way, I am considering annual maintenance protocols. Since I don't want to be on some sort of detox almost every other month (quarterly liver, parasite cleanse, heavy metal detox), can I combine them to make it simpler for me? Lets say spring one month liver support + heavy metals and autumn one month liver support + parasite cleanse? Would that work? Thank you. Eleazar: Hello dr cabral i would like to know if everyone with autoimmune diseases need to avoid gluten permanently i have heard u say in people with celiac disease it does need to be avoided permanently and even in people with hashimoto because it acts as a perpetrator antigen could u explain what that means and if i need to avoid gluten forever regardless of what autoimmune disease i have or does it apply to only people with celiac or hashimoto thank you so much for everything u do.
