2081: Ganglion Cyst, Vitamin D Lamp, Bacterial Vaginosis, Calming Supplements, Chilblains, No Period (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!    Cassandra: Hi Dr. Cabral, Since about December I've noticed a ganglion cyst on my wrist. It goes away occasionally but eventually comes back. I asked a physician about it and they said it could be drained but still could come back eventually. The only other solution they suggested is to remove it surgically but only as a last resort if it becomes very painful. Do you know of any natural ways to get rid of this. It's not super painful in daily life but quite uncomfortable if I'm holding a plank for example.  Thanks! Karen: Hi Dr. Cabral! I remember you discussing the Sperti lamp for vitamin D absorption and was wondering if you had been able to test out the lamp? If so, what was your consensus? Super-interested in hearing your thoughts! Alyssa: Hi Dr Cabral! I have bacterial vaginosis on and off for months on end.. i really don’t want to have to take antibiotics as I have a liver and GI disease and autoimmune issues I’m working through with nutrition and holistic modalities. I know antibiotics will really set me back… I know you can’t prescribe, just wondering, do you have any natural suggestions to remedy BV? Thank you immensely! Angele: Hello, I am looking for a natural supplement to keep me calm. I become very nervous when I have to see the doctor and cause my BP to go extremely high.Thanks in advance. Stacey: Hi Dr Cabral! My name is Stacey, I'm 29 and an Australian listener. We have just had our winter and during that time I noticed the ends of my toes were getting really itchy, red and swollen, it was such an uncomfortable feeling. I was told I have chillblains and that there isn't really a cure then to just keep your feet warm at all times. I must say that has helped so much. But I wonder if this is a response to something else? I have never had this issue before I tried to search up the issue on your podcasts but couldn't find any resources. Thanks so much for your help. Stacey Sarah: Hi! Love your podcast! I’d love for you to review the book called “No period, now what” by Lisa Sanflippo. I know it’s very niche but I also know that you’re all about granularity rather than surface level. I’m sure you have listeners that would be interested or know others that are going through it. I think a review will be very valuable for us all and to strengthen your knowledge on this area too :) I hope you consider it!
