Podcasts about antibodies

So last weeks show had an easter egg, unknown even to me. Apparently (and thank you to those who emailed me) one of the bands from last week don't actually exist. So along with the great music you get to hear me philosophise on AI and music. There may be more little chats like this over the next few weeks. But brief. Because we're here for the music, not the sermons!

Could treatments many people consider ‘normal' dental procedures, like root canals or mercury fillings, impact your thyroid healing?This episode looks at how dental work might influence thyroid health. I'll explain what mercury amalgams are, why some people feel better after removing them, and why others do not. We'll also cover the debate around root canals and whether they can create ongoing immune stress. The focus isn't on quick fixes but on helping you think through risks and benefits so you can decide what makes the most sense for your healing journey.If your heightened antibodies haven't budged despite your best efforts, this could give you a new angle to explore.

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…   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, My OATs test came back with normal markers for bacteria and fungus. I was on an extremely low carb diet when I took the test and was wondering if that could cause a false negative. I have taken herbal Antimicrobials and garlic in the past which sometimes eliminates the bloating and brain fog and does so within a few days but only at double doses and only working temporarily. I have a few mild chronic fungal infections, IBS, cognitive symptoms, and MCAS. Do you think the issue is more likely related to an overgrowth or intestinal permeability caused by MCAS? How should I begin treatment since I am sensitive to many supplements? My food sensitivity test unfortunately showed a false negative to all foods.                                                                                                                                                                Zonia: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all your insightful information! My husband has lipoma's all over his body ranging from dime size to 1/2 tennis ball. His mom has them too, but very few. He started getting them removed by the dozen and I understand they can regrow. How can we help prevent the regrowth? Also, we have twins (B/G)and are there any labs that can determine if either have the genes or how to minimize the chances they will have any? Thank you in advance!      Chris: Hi Dr Cabral, regarding magnesium intake and supplemental H2: The tablets we have include 80 mg of magnesium for 8ppm H2. If you were going to rely on H2 tablets for your exclusive molecular hydrogen source, how many tablets would you take per day to maximize H2 benefits while maintaining advisable magnesium levels and not too much? Assuming 2 scoops of DNS at breakfast (50mg magnesium) + 2 Full Spectrum Magnesium caps at dinner (250mg). I've been varying from 1-3 H2 tablets/daily throughout the week. I stopped taking a scoop of your very delicious & effective Calming Magnesium before bed (300mg) in order to prioritize the benefits of Molecular Hydrogen, however, would love to add this back in if its not too much Magnesium with everything else. Thank you always.           Anonymous: Hi! I have a couple questions. Might have to submit two for the length. First is about thyroid. My thyroid labs are showing normal TSH .56, low free T4 1.33, low total T3 114, high reverse T3 17.20 & TPO high at 25. Does this indicate Hashimoto hypothyroidism? Is this fixable or will I be on supplements or meds for ever? Is TPO specific to the thyroid or is this indicative of autoimmune issues in general? Im curious what even causes these issues to begin with Thank you so much!                                                                                                                                                                    Anonymous: Hi again, 2nd question. I have a hard time gaining muscle & showing tone. I'm a petite person, and have never really shown muscle tone even in high school despite being in sports.After my third baby I lost muscle. I can tell by my body composition changes.I weigh less but look and feel like it's no muscle & more fat. A PT once was shocked at my glute weakness comparing it to the elder. If I ever take a break in exercising, for about two weeks or more I feel much weaker than before I even started, seems like my strength is decreasing rapidly if I get sedentary for even 2 weeks. Could this have an underlying cause or is this just how some of us are? Should I accept the fact that maybe I won't ever build or show much muscle tone?

Editor's Summary by Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, PhD, MD, MAS, Editor in Chief, and Preeti Malani, MD, MSJ, Deputy Editor of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, for articles published from August 16-22 2025.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a relatively new type of medicine for breast cancer. Enhertu (chemical name: fam-trastuzumab-deruxtecan-nxki) and Dato-DXd (brand name: Datroway) are two ADCs used to treat breast cancer. Dr Benjamin Schrank and colleagues have developed a new type of ADC that combines an antibody with a toxin — called an antibody-toxin conjugate — that teaches the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Listen to the episode to hear Dr. Schrank explain: the antibody and the toxin component of the medicine how the new medicine works possible side effects next steps for the research Episode image photo credit: The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center

If you've ever been told your labs are “normal” but you still feel exhausted, foggy, or off, this episode is your game-changer. In Part 2 of our conversation with thyroid expert McCall McPherson, we go beyond the basics and dive into how to actually understand your lab results, and why so many women are dismissed or misdiagnosed because their numbers fall within outdated, generic ranges. Maria opens up about her own thyroid test results, and McCall breaks it all down: what's truly considered optimal (not just “in range”), what your TSH, T3, and antibodies are really saying, and how understanding your labs can help you take back your energy, mood, metabolism, and more. Because when you can read your labs like a thyroid expert, you stop guessing… and start healing smarter!! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  "Normal" isn't optimal. Most lab ranges are based on averages of unwell people, which means you can feel awful and still be told you're "fine." True healing begins with optimal, not just acceptable. Your labs are a roadmap. TSH alone won't tell the full story. Understanding markers like Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and antibodies can unlock the real reason you feel off and guide you toward real solutions. You can influence your results. Antibody levels can be improved with lifestyle changes. Tracking your labs over time empowers you to measure progress, reduce inflammation, and protect your thyroid health long-term.

Aron Knickerbocker, President and CEO of Aulos Bioscience,  is on a mission to extend the lives of cancer patients through safer and more effective immunotherapy using AI and machine learning to accelerate drug discovery and optimization. The company's lead drug candidate is an antibody that was designed using AI to harness the power of interleukin-2 to activate the immune system against tumors.  The advantages of AU-007 over previous IL-2 therapies include the ability to selectively activate tumor-fighting immune cells while avoiding toxicity due to vascular leakage. Current trials are underway in advanced melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer, which are showing the potential for durable responses and immune memory. Aron explains, "So Aulos has really been founded to carry out a mission to extend the lives of patients with innovative, safe, and ultimately effective cancer immunotherapy. And you mentioned IL-2, which is the naturally occurring protein that we're seeking to harness and redirect in productive ways to help the patients. And this has really been kind of a driver for me over the years, wanting to improve on cancer patient care. This is a company with an important mission and a great team, and our program is really interesting. It's harnessing IL-2 in such a way that it sends it to the cells that are capable of attacking the tumor and killing the tumor cells, and keeps it away from the cells that suppress the immune response. It's really kind of using a double-edged sword in a productive way to help patients with cancer." "So this is the first antibody to go into human clinical trials. It was designed in part by leveraging an AI platform, as you noted. And that platform was created by our collaborators at Biologic Design. They're the company that created this molecule. And what biologic design does is essentially using an AI system that has machine learning algorithms that drive it. It mimics what the immune system does normally. So when we get sick and we need to make antibodies to something, our immune system says, Do I already have something that will kind of bind to the target or the virus or whatever it's trying to hit? And then it will optimize that. It will go through a process of rapid change. And what the AI system and the machine learning algorithms that have been trained on millions of antibodies in the targets to which they bind do is recognize patterns much like an AI chatbot might recognize language patterns." #AulosBio #Antibodies #MedAi #AI #IL2 #Onocology #Cancer #NSCLC #AdvancedCutaneousMelanoma #DrugDiscovery #BiologicDesign #Tregs aulosbio.com Download the transcript here

“Colorectal cancer treatment is not just about eliminating a disease. It's about preserving life quality and empowering patients through every phase. So I think nurses are really at the forefront that we can do that in the oncology nursing space. So from early detection to survivorship, the journey is deeply personal. Precision medicine, compassionate care, and informed decision-making are reshaping outcomes. Treatment's just not about protocols. It's about people,” ONS member Kris Mathey, DNP, APRN-CNP, AOCNP®, gastrointestinal medical oncology nurse practitioner at The James Cancer Hospital of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about colorectal cancer treatment.  Music Credit: “Fireflies and Stardust” by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons by Attribution 3.0  Earn 1.0 contact hour of nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) by listening to the full recording and completing an evaluation at courses.ons.org by August 1, 2026. The planners and faculty for this episode have no relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies to disclose.

Highlights From This Episode “Colorectal cancer has several different types, but there is one that dominates the landscape, and that is adenocarcinoma. So I think most of us have heard that. It's fairly common, and it accounts for about 95% of all colorectal cancers. It begins in the glandular cells lining the colon or rectum and often develops from polyps, in particular adenomatous polyps.” TS 1:41 “One of the biomarkers that we'll most commonly hear about is KRAS or NRAS mutations. This indicates tumor genetics, and these mutations suggest resistance to our EGFR inhibitors such as cetuximab. BRAF mutation or V600E is a more aggressive tumor subtype, and those may respond to our BRAF targeted therapy. … And then our MSI-high or MMR-deficient—microsatellite instability or mismatch repair deficiency—that really predicts an immunotherapy response and may indicate Lynch syndrome, which is a huge genetic component that takes a whole other level of counseling and genetic testing with our patients as well.” TS 6:02 “Polypectomy or a local excision—that removes our small tumors or polyps during that colonoscopy. And that's what's used for those stage 0 or early stage I cancers. A colectomy removes part or all of the colon. This may be open or laparoscopic. It can include a hemicolectomy, a segmental resection, or a total colectomy, so where you take out the entire part of the colon. A proctectomy removes part or all of the rectum. This may include a low anterior resection, also known as an LAR … or an abdominal perineal resection, which is an APR. … Colostomy or ileostomy—that diverts the stool to an external bag via stoma. Sometimes this is temporary or permanent depending on the type of surgery.” TS 14:11 “We'll have our patients say, ‘Hey, I want immunotherapy therapy. I see commercials on it that it works so well.' We have to make sure that these patients are good candidates for it, also that we're treating them adequately. We need to make sure that they have those biomarkers, so as I mentioned, the MSI-high or MMR tumors. Our MSS-stable tumors—they may benefit from newer combinations or clinical trials. Metastatic disease—immunotherapy may be used alone or with other treatments. And then in the neoadjuvant setting, some trials are really showing promising results using immunotherapy prior to surgery.” TS 25:38 “Antibody-drug conjugates are really an exciting frontier in all cancer treatments as well as colorectal cancer treatment. This is used mainly for patients with advanced or treatment-resistant disease, and these therapies combine the targeted power of monoclonal antibodies with the cell-killing ability of potent chemotherapy agents. They're still on the horizon for the most part in colorectal cancer. However, there is only one approved antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC, at this time, and that's trastuzumab deruxtecan, or Enhertu. That's approved for any solid tumor, such as colorectal cancer with HER2 IHC 3+. So again, looking back at that pathology in those markers, making sure that you have that HER2 mutation and that IHC.” TS 35:00 “There are a few myths going around about colorectal cancer treatment that can lead to confusion or even delayed care. One myth is only older men get colorectal cancer. As you heard me talk in my previous podcast on screening, unfortunately, this isn't necessarily true. Colorectal cancer affects both men and women and our cases in the younger population are rising. So our screening guidelines have changed to age 45 because we are seeing it in the younger population.” TS 45:54

Her antibodies were high, her gut was off and surgery was on the table. So she started asking what was really driving her symptoms.Alexandria was told she had the antibodies for both Graves' and Hashimoto's in 2017 and initially followed conventional advice, including methimazole. But after facing the possibility of thyroid removal, she explores deeper root causes. This health audit traces the progress she's made with dietary changes, gut support, and lifestyle shifts and the imminent questions as she prepares for a future pregnancy. We discuss why her antibody levels dropped, where she's still seeing symptoms, and what steps might help her move forward without fully relying on medication.Managing your thyroid but curious about alternative support options?
