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: Whats up Dr. Cabral, I really think what you are sharing with the world is great. I have been listening to so many of your podcasts recently, and am so grateful I found them. I will just ask my question outright. Are there, or could there potentially be options for patients who received Radio-Active Iodine therapy to reverse the damage done to the thyroid? Somewhat similar to you, by the time I was in my late teens I was completely burning out and after a long bout of Mono at 18 I was later diagnosed with Graves Disease (not until I was 23, but I am certain this was the case after I was diagnosed with EBV). Anyhow I had done so much guess work and boughten so many supplements to help my heath all through my late teens and early twenties. Unfortunately I did not understand what it meant to truly live a healthy holistic lifestyle till about the age 25 to 26 right after I got the radiation done. Ever since I have been fully entrenched in functional medicine/holistic learning, but also struggling with unlearning all the harmful lifestyle choices that lead to me developing Graves. I am awaiting my Hair and mineral test results, and will be doing some of the other labs in the upcoming month or so, but am waiting to see if any promotions are run in a few weeks for the holidays. Are there supplements I can take for possible scarring and tissue damage done? Could it make any sense to see stem cell availability to rejuvenate the gland? I am on 1 grain of Nature Throid but my Naturopath seems to think it is fine to only test my total T4 and T3, which are low bottom range. My hands are still cold, I have low energy, and I do not feel adequate. I have always done my own testing even before having this Naturopath, because no doctors would test what I found to be beneficial through my own research. Conventional Medicine had me on Levothyroxine early on which was not helpful, and through my own testing I found my RT3 to always be extremely elevated. My Naturopath seems to think that this is because my albumin is elevated, with low globulin, and elevated creatinine. Basically having left kidney atrophy she thinks I just have to manage it through lifestyle forever, and deal with the problem. It is frustrating because I have order the 4 Iron labs, ZRT 4 point saliva testing, both Vitamin D tests, B12, and many other beneficial labs, yet she only looks at lab ranges and no optimality. I have been reading non stop any and all book recommendations I get from people like you or Paul Chek for instance. I am currently reading Dr. Jensons guide to Better Bowel Care. And it is awesome information, I cannot wait to run my organic acids test. I am just sick of every doctor I have not being open or willing to constant learning themselves. Or telling me they wont run this or that, or that you need to come in and pay $100 to get your refill of Nature throid and talk about how its going. Finding the ability to test these root causal problems through functional medicine lab testing will I believe change my life. I think about my health non stop, and have since I was young. Cannot wait to find more out about my health, and I am thankful for all that I have been forced to learn over the years, as I believe it will shape my future. I am looking forward to eventually becoming an IHP! Thanks! Kerry: Hi Dr Cabral, Thanks for answering my question today. I have learnt so much from your podcast- thank you for your commitment with sharing your knowledge. I have recently completed your IHP lvl 1 & 2 - the course was amazing!
