thank you

welcome back everyone we have a new show

here we’re going to answer your

questions

anything that I say is definitely not

meant to replace any chemical petroleum

product products that you might get as

drugs and so if you do get some type of

cure involving some of the remedies we

recommend don’t mention our names

all right Steve let’s just Dive Right In

I think you covered that well Dr Berg

anyway I’m so excited you know I’ve

become addicted to all these great

questions that you come up with an

audience I don’t know the answer either

so I’m really excited so uh why don’t we

kick off with one of those this week and

Dr Berg here’s the first fascinating

question

all right so let me just pull this up

right here okay why does the lens of the

eye

not have blood vessels

and by the way it also doesn’t have a

lymphatic system so why is that wow how

does it stay alive for goodness sakes

that sounds so strange okay why don’t we

jump right over to social media because

we love them as well and a v-not from

YouTube Kicks it off with what are your

thoughts about human consumption of cow

or Buffalo milk as by Nature it’s only

suitable for Animals by Nature it’s only

suitable for Animals what do you think

about those

thing well I mean I think the real

important thing way more important and

that is um if it’s Raw versus

pasteurized because the pasteurization

you know they

we have a calf uh that was just born

from a cow that was just too small and

there was a lot of problems in fact to

the point where the mother is not

feeding the calf so we have to bottle

feed it so I’ve done some research on um

the pasteurization of milk even in

calves versus raw milk a huge difference

in organs like the color of your organs

the the health of your body so if you’re

gonna um do milk I would definitely go

raw I would I prefer to have some milk

in a fermented product like a cheese raw

cheese maybe kefir

um that type of thing that’s that’s

usually better but some people are

sensitive to milk

um they have allergies and there is a

little bit of sugar in milk so that’s

another problem

um but um

so what what is how does that relate to

humans

um definitely if you’re if you’re

pregnant or lactating

um well of course if you’re pregnant

you’re deciding to if you’re on the edge

about breastfeeding I would definitely

go that route because I would think and

this is just my own opinion that uh uh

the pasteurization is very going to be

similar to the uh some of the formulas

that they put out there that I could

only imagine what that does to our

bodies wow well I currently in my little

uh glass next to me I have my famous ice

a cold brew coffee and I put 100 heavy

cream in it and it’s so delicious now I

know it’s probably pasteurized and all

that but uh it’s not making me fat you

know not and just keep the sugar out and

um you know I think I think if you’re

just doing you know like in your coffee

creamers that’s what I do I mean it’s

really hard to find raw cream but um

but the point is that if you’re going to

be drinking

a good amount of milk um definitely make

sure it’s raw not pasteurized

very good emo from YouTube just like so

many others I just had my gallbladder

removed what supplements should I take

for a fatty liver and loss of a

gallbladder he’s mourning the

gallbladder already please write out

your answer as I am deaf oh that’s

interesting thank you for all of your

work and I don’t know if you can you

know in between some things here maybe

type it into our little chat or no he

won’t see that I’m sorry anyway we’ll

make sure that your question gets

answered and thanks for participating uh

even sand here maybe maybe

um maybe someone on our team can type in

the answer but is choline choline is

what you want to do if you have a fatty

liver and as well as some bile salts

start taking bio cells because one of

the big purposes of a gallbladder is to

concentrate the bile and so not just

store it um just for release when you

eat but concentrate so now you don’t get

that concentration so now we have this

bile that’s not as strong and and so how

is that going to affect the extraction

of those fat soluble nutrients well I

think it could affect it especially long

term

very good give me just a moment I am

typing it on spellcholine for me Doc

ch

l o now it’s

c-h-o-l-i-n-e I guess put you on the

spot David let’s see here uh

cold we have to write it out um exactly

all right there you go l-i-n-e uh

chlorine don’t do that don’t take that

no audience help me out here would you

put emo this is where the audience comes

in don’t listen to Steve it’s choline I

don’t want him gulping any chlorine so

help us out there let’s see uh open but

Patty instead of typing the answer let

me get to her question on YouTube our

ice bath good for you what are your

thoughts and audience don’t forget to

correct me here emo tell them it’s

choline okay what do you think about

Patty’s question yeah the ice baths are

very therapeutic

um even though they’re very

uncomfortable especially in the winter

for some reason but if you can withstand

that and by the way if you have if you

want to increase your tolerance to that

B1 can help you because if you’re

deficient in B1 your tolerance goes down

for stress all stress

um not just

um you know

slow drivers but also

temperature

gradients like if it’s too cold or too

hot

um so yes I think that’s very

therapeutic if you could do it boy that

that would really drop your inflammation

increase your cognitive function so

um find a nice Pond you can jump into in

the winter and or just a nice bath and

um experience the therapeutic benefits

of that or you can just take a cold

shower how about that I’ve done videos

on that oh yeah that’s terrific that’ll

get you up and at them okay why don’t we

go to the green room and our first

participant is guy who is in Colorado

but originally from Israel and uh he has

a one question for you uh and go ahead

with your question you’re on with Dr

Berg guy

good morning and

[Music]

um

[Music]

[Music]

remember

[Music]

so and this is the black history

my question is

it really depends on one thing and

that’s calories how much of it and I

think that amount is going to vary it’s

going to affect you in a very tiny way

if it’s going to be a very um small so I

don’t think I would worry about it I

don’t I think it’s a small Point um I

think you’re still going to get the

massive benefits even even for example

um you know you have this fasting window

and you have this eating window let’s

say you’re eating between 12 and 6.

um some people have this idea that wow

I’m just gonna I could eat anything I

want right through the eating window and

they’re snacking and all this other

stuff well if you don’t do that you get

a nice little drop in insulin so I just

recommend don’t snack through the eating

window but yeah I think it’s a minor

point I think you’re going to be fine

thank you I actually don’t I I eat lunch

and then because the intermittent

fasting got me to I really don’t need

anything between lunch and dinner I

don’t like to I don’t feel hungry great

that’s awesome

yeah I I remember I remember I used to

be so hungry in the morning now it’s

like

I don’t I don’t I don’t it’s like it

just repels them like I don’t want any

food

um so it’s yeah it definitely does work

once you get your body fat adapted boy

that’s incredible well thank you so much

guy uh for coming on with us we

appreciate it sorry for the echo folks

uh one of my co-producers slapped me on

the back of the head and said fix that

so guys final comments were Echo free

and let’s move on by the way I’m going

to admonish the audience I think we

didn’t get any answers for question

number one let me repeat that for you

audience why does the lens of the eye

have and not have any blood vessels

let’s look at that folks and if you give

it another shot you might be trying you

probably were trying to save emo from my

chlorine recommendation and typing that

and I hope that’s the reason but

audience please get back to that because

we love your participation well it could

be because they you know it’s it might

be a hard question to answer so should I

just give the answer yeah why not folks

I’m if you had blood vessels

you would then see them and that would

obstruct your vision

so

we had to develop a lens that you that’s

transparent that you wouldn’t you blood

vessels and blood are not transparent so

they would always leave a little filter

on there

um so

um

there’s this very very fascinating type

of protein

that is um so this insoluble

fiber protein inside your eye and inside

the lens that allows you allows it to be

transparent and um there’s there’s a lot

of other unique things about this lens

that I’m going to share with you in a

video but

it’s an incredible piece of physiology

in Biochemistry that um

it’s just amazing when you really learn

about what this lens is and then what

type of problems you can happen

when you start getting like glaucoma or

oxnical coma cataracts and we’ll talk

about that in a near future

um

video but um

but boy the uh that lens of eye that

lens of your eye is very very rugged and

the immune system is very unique in the

eye so if you were to get a um

infection or some a transplant of the

lens and your body would not reject it

compared to other organs it would so

there’s definitely this um unique uh

immune system that is separate from the

rest of the body because

um

you know that would that would be a

problem if you’re if your eye once that

lens goes you know you can’t see you’re

not going to survive too well so there’s

a lot of built-in things into this lens

that helps you continue to see despite a

lot of problems I mean how many times

Steve have you ever like um I don’t know

walk through the woods and have a branch

hit you in the eye or get punched in the

eye and and somehow you still could see

I mean it’s just amazing or you get a

scratch on the eye

um it’s amazing that that lens can take

a beating but it keeps working well you

had to ask doc because when I was at

this teenage dance back in the 60s uh

there was an I-beam with a little hole

in it and I was looking through it and

told some guy oh yeah I can see and by

the way this dates me you could smoke

kids could bring cigarettes into the

little dance the whole church Auditorium

was filled with smoke and he stuck the

cigarette through the hole straight into

my eye

a red hot cigarette suddenly the lights

came up the bands stopped the emergency

Squad got there and they put this Salve

or something in my eye and the next day

I could see again because it didn’t come

I was gray all I could see was would

blurred gray because it burnt the I

guess the cornea or the lens or whatever

it was but they the doc said that is the

fastest healing tissue in your body and

that’s why you were able to in in

whatever that was 24 hours able to see

again but that’s scary

um and uh I don’t know whatever became

of the genius that stuck the cigarette

through the thing but the chaos was so

immediate he got lost in the crowd

giggling away or whatever awful thing he

did but anyway so I agree with you

instead of a stick in the eye had a

cigarette in the eye and I’ve still got

great vision these many years later so

thank you

um nature for doing that for me that’s

fantastic and now let’s get me here I

hate when that happens oh I do too are

you okay let’s see let’s go back to

social media social media excuse me

Sarita

from YouTube I am new to keto but having

trouble Breaking Free of grains in my

diet what suggestions do you offer some

sort of corporal punishment

yeah grains definitely are highly

addictive I think the best way is just

to understand more of a understanding of

what grains really are you’re eating a

lot of concentrated seeds our bodies

naturally are not designed to eat a lot

of concentrated seeds that have they

come with a package they come with

anti-nutrients they come with uh gluten

that is the only protein that we can’t

digest they come with um

weight gain and increased insulin

resistance I think a better approach

would be to definitely eat those grains

but in a different form like maybe you

sprout them for a week or two weeks and

then eat the baby micro greens now

you’re now you’re gonna actually uh

you’re gonna be able to digest them

they’re not going to bother you of

course they don’t quite taste like the

bread pasta cereal crackers biscuits

type thing but the other option would be

to look up some of the recipes on our

website on the grain substitutes there’s

a wonderful almond flour there’s other

types of uh Alternatives that you can

make for your your cookies candies

Breads and pasta and pizza crust

wonderful okay Scott from elbow

Melbourne Australia would like a

chemistry lesson he said I just

purchased Xylitol and grapefruit seed

extract as you recommended for sinus

care what is the recipe for the spray

and he thanks you

um

what I recommend to do is recommend is

you basically take a um a half a glass

of water warm water and you dissolve

about one one teaspoon of Xylitol okay

and just like two or three drops of that

grape seed extract and um that’s all you

need

terrific go for it okay speaking of uh

places other than the contiguous U.S

say a good morning to all our viewers

don’t think we’ve ever heard from them

uh chechnya Oman Australia New Zealand

Hungary and of course all across the

East United States so thank you all for

joining in now answer the questions for

goodness sakes Laura from Facebook can

there be pain associated with a liver

cleanse I’ve been having lower back pain

and hip pain since cleansing my liver I

don’t know if she’s cleansing it with

there’s there’s all sorts of detoxes

that I’ve done before that put me in a

bunch of hurt I’m talking about a detox

like inflammation they can stir up

inflammatory things because you’re

you’re releasing things from the cells

and you’re releasing things that can

affect

um the liver and definitely definitely

stir up an immune reaction that can show

up in kind of weak links especially your

lower back what you could do is you can

do a couple things you could take but

bentonite clay

or activated charcoal to kind of soak up

some of those toxins to see if see if

that doesn’t resolve it and then let’s

say that doesn’t resolve it then

I always as my go-to for lower back pain

is take more vitamin D D3 and take

twenty thousand IUS maybe thirty

thousand and that usually will knock it

knock it out of the ballpark unless

there’s some other reason why you have

low back pain

you know so but a state coincidence with

this detox so I’ll start with uh

things that those things like to help

soak up the toxic material very good

let’s go back to the Green Room this

time with Ava who is calling in from

Oregon it rains there all the time go

ahead Ava

without uh sodium I have so much trouble

with salt I even take I’m doing keto I

take low

sodium electrolytes I don’t like salt I

rarely use it when I cook but I have so

much trouble with swollen ankles

and lower legs it’s a real problem I had

a TIA December 16th very little deficit

and um

I have a heart monitor on right now and

I just don’t know what to do about the

sodium it eliminates a lot of products I

can buy because I always check the

sodium levels

Sky High

so so I think we’ve probably put you in

the category of like sodium sensitive or

you’re more sensitive to sodium and

um you should be but the point is that

the the best way to do that and because

you could only go so far with sodium I

mean we need at least like over 2 000

milligrams per day for various reasons

building

um hydrochloric acid in your stomach I

mean we need sodium to a certain degree

um so the the solution is to start

increasing your potassium levels higher

and higher because that will offset and

protect you against those symptoms that

are occurring from

sodium and so that will also push the

fluid out so whatever you’re taking

start increasing more potassium but that

is the solution and then of course

realize that those these minerals also

work especially when we’re talking about

electrolytes you may need a little bit

magnesium as well but I would definitely

increase more potassium have you been

doing that already

yes but I’m not sure how much to take of

the potassium like for example the

potassium electrolyte I have has a

thousand milligrams so I would probably

do two maybe even three a day scoops of

that and then have more like bigger

salads as well because of course the

salad has the high potassium and low

sodium

um

if you want to get even more potassium

make your salads with the micro greens

that’ll just really spike your potassium

and it’s very low sodium and I think

you’ll feel better once that is is

working better but um there’s something

in your body called the

sodium potassium pump and it’s in every

single cell

you know

you so we definitely wanted we

definitely want the sodium but we got to

get the right ratios going on with more

potassium and I think after maybe two or

three weeks of having more potassium

things will balance out real nicely and

your fluid will actually do better as

well

so you mentioned a liquid potassium as

opposed to I have to supplement capsules

um so um what milligram does your

supplement come in with the potassium

because

they only sell it in like 99 milligrams

and so um there’s one that I recommend

my electrolyte powder that comes in a

thousand milligrams so that would be a

lot easier than taking uh 10 of those

pills a day three times a day

yeah Dr Berg’s formula is yummy you

won’t have to choke it down

the electrolyte count no it’s it’s it’s

very low in salt it’s very high in

potassium

um

now of course don’t get the sport

electrolyte one just get the regular one

and it’s a very very small amount it

just it still has some

um but it definitely def the the

potassium far outweighs that a little

bit of tiny potassium

I’m sorry a little bit of sodium that’s

great well listen thank you so much Ava

we appreciate you coming on and we hope

your ankles shrink down to a lovely

level and we’d love to hear back from

you to see how how things are

progressing with you uh let’s see

um not to be outdone this happens very

often the shout out some people got very

jealous because they didn’t chime in yet

and they include Pakistan the Congo

Ireland Morocco Ecuador Haiti Brazil

Romania and India that’s a big place

don’t want to forget them so thank you

all so much for watching I think we have

uh maybe a strike on hand I don’t see

Terry the answers to question number two

or did we bring that up doc I’m not sure

if we did

um I don’t think we I don’t think we did

well then they’re forgiven here you go

let’s go let’s ask another question okay

all right so the most important vitamin

in preventing acne is fill in the blank

sorry for accusing you of not

participating audience my humble

apologies speaking of the audience uh L

from YouTube I’ve been diagnosed with a

connective tissue disease it’s not

rheumatoid arthritis though any

recommendations for a natural way to

treat this Condition it’s not a lot of

information but what do you think doc

yeah of course I don’t know your

genetics but I do I will say that

there’s definitely several genetic

problems even

um

variations of your genes that can give

you weak weak collagen and connective

tissue in which case you want to make

sure that you don’t over train

with exercise you want to make sure you

want to recover probably bone broth

would be a really good and also collagen

powder would be a good thing to take as

well as the vitamin C but make sure the

vitamin C is in the whole form coming

from food because you need Vitamin C as

a co-helper for the collagen

very good okay now this doesn’t require

an answer from you doc but it does

require a bell ring because Beth Ann

from Facebook I’ve been on your Healthy

keto plant since October and have lost

27 Pounders thank you so much he says so

good for you Beth doesn’t that feel

fantastic

uh let’s move on let’s see uh Poonam

from Singapore on Facebook my 21 year

old daughter has very bad cramps during

her period her gynecologist has only

remected only recommended painkillers

help

so think about what a cramp is

definitely any cramp uh you’re the

muscle is over

um over Contracting there’s a couple

quick things I would do because if you

look at what causes relaxation in a

muscle it’s magnesium magnesium and also

potassium so if they take a little bit

more magnesium and sometimes they have

to add it with calcium because it’s not

just about the relaxation you need that

whole contraction relaxation that a lot

of times will get rid of the cramps

definitely a little bit before your um

your menstrual period

and uh so why would you get that in the

first place well it could be that you

have a subclinical problem with these

with magnesium and you’re going into

this and everything is magnified during

the cycle but you know the uterus is

cramping and so it’s very simply we need

to take that cramp out

um just like you would if you had a leg

cramp

very good okay well the audience is made

up uh for the first question with the

lightning fans fast answer to the second

one which has the most important vitamin

in preventing acne is drum roll please

55 of our respondents say zinc 30 say

vitamin A 10 say vitamin D and the last

five percent say vitamin E who’s right

the vitamin D category now you’re all

right it’s zinc is going to be important

and vitamin A is going to be important

but what is even more important is this

vitamin D vitamin D is going to help

um

suppress

the bacteria involved in acne it’s going

to help regulate the cells

that make up the sebaceous gland that

produces the oil that’s all swollen

vitamin E is going to take the

inflammation out of the entire thing and

so it does a lot of different cool

things for acne and so

unfortunately especially when you’re

going through your teens you get this

acne or a lot of people do I did and

it’s terrible

um boy if I only would have known right

instead of scrubbing my face trying to

clean off thinking it’s dirt or

something on the blackheads whatever

um you take a lot more vitamin D and

then you also

fix the other component part which is

the um the high Androgen issue over like

the um the hyper Androgen problem and

that and the way you do that is you

don’t snack so frequently or don’t snack

at all and you cut out the carbs

I mean that’s like the perfect program

for anyone

um trying to get rid of acne and it

works and so you start doing

intermittent fasting and watch what

happens to your your face I mean it’s

going to clear right up and you’re going

to be

quite surprised and very happy

all right let me see uh oh here we go

here’s a new one Veronica from YouTube

gotta help her I have both Graves and

Hashimoto’s sleep is not good would your

sleep aid supplements uh be okay to take

along with your d3k2

supplement yes yes I think it really

would help you greatly

um because you haven’t autoimmune

problem and so you need to sleep and

that would be a very smart thing

all right now uh afreen from YouTube

what are your thoughts about taking

baking soda to keep our bodies alkaline

don’t recommend it uh because

um

our bodies need like for example

uh if I were to ask you what is the pH

of the stomach should it be Oakland

if I ask you what would be the pH of

your large intestine should it be

alkaline the answer is no and when you

alkalize these tissues you create other

problems yes it’s true that the blood

should be slightly alkaline but the way

you get it there is to eat healthy uh

not to try to change your pH one way or

the other it won’t work so um there’s a

lot of false information that we need to

alkalize the entire body because

if you start alkalizing your stomach now

what’s going to happen you’re going to

have pathogens that can survive the

stomach acid and then create sibo and

small intestinal bacterial overgrowth

and you’ll start getting problems with a

lack of absorption of minerals lack of

digestion proteins undigested proteins

so you have a lot of digestive issues

um so I’m very much against trying to

alkalize the entire body when you really

should just be eating healthy and let

the body go into whatever pH it needs to

establish

very good okay Bonnie from YouTube

myself and my siblings are all over 55

and we’re all noticing changes in our

bodies with a lot of aches pains and

stiffness and let me tell you something

ladies I’m 68 and what this indicates is

you’re well on your way to your great

reward I want to be dreary but uh but

they’re having stiffness and they want

to know what they’re doing even though

they’re slowly decaying

[Laughter]

um yeah well there’s a lot of things you

can do of course start with the basics

get get the the basic eating in um I

just did a video on

stiffness for example stiffness could

come from many different things usually

there’s a low-grade inflammatory thing

going on because you’re consuming too

many omega-6 fatty acids and not enough

omega-3

omega-3 like fish oils especially cod

liver oil won’t work

unless you at the same time reduce the

omega-6 that’s all the the soy the

canola oil the corn oil the vegetable

oil the sesame seed oil the sunflower

oil the safflower oil all those

oils are very inflammatory including

grains so you get rid of that take the

omega-3 and um

there’s other I would just watch my

video on stiffness but um you know and

then regular

um if you have old injuries like me

you’re gonna have to stab have figure

out some type of workout where you can

start stretching your fascia

um I don’t know if I did a video on that

recently but I should but there’s a

great stretch as you can look up on

YouTube for really working with the

fascia and and kind of getting rid of

some of the scar tissue that’s developed

within your this this kind of this this

thing that holds the tissue together and

the muscle together that a lot of times

gets stiffened with age and then you

can’t turn your neck and you can’t

straighten up so you have to actively

work that out on a daily basis okay very

good let’s go back to the green room and

this time from Florida we have Lena

coming in from Miami so Lena if you

would unmute yourself you are on with Dr

bird

good morning Dr Berg how are you good

morning

uh my question is related to brain

inflammation and autoimmune diseases so

you did a great video this morning that

pretty much explains you know the foods

that you can eat the supplements that

you should be taking and the nutrients

that are more important whenever you do

have an autoimmune disease but my

question right now is

when the inflammation occurs in the

brain and that it starts to really

affect your psychic so my question will

be how keto and if can really

be you know the way to go to reduce the

inflammation in the brain

right good question is that relate are

you talking about Ms

lupus lupus yeah

well keto

um fortunately gives an alternative

um fuel source to the brain and it fuels

the brain from a whole different

mechanism and so it bypasses the um the

normal thing and uh so if there’s damage

in the neurons it will feed it from a

different angle and the Brain actually

um and the nervous system and the myelin

sheath around the nerves

um work better on Ketone fuel so when

you actually donate or you go low carb

um you force the body to run on ketones

it’s

it’s it’s it’s a huge difference between

having a lot of inflammation and having

no inflammation ketones themselves are

anti-inflammatory and then when you fast

you have this additional really cool

thing where you go into autophagy where

now uh even in the brain you start to

have this um cleanup of all the garbage

and junk that occurs within the neurons

so you get this anti-aging effect it

stimulates something called um the brain

derived neurotrophic factor which will

actually help you grow new brain cells

so there’s so many magical things that

happen but also as a side note

watch my recent video that’s not related

to what you said but it is related in an

indirect way relating to um the best

diet for Alzheimer’s there’s a really

important point that I get into the

detail but

um

yeah because now because what hap what

you have or whatever whoever has this

problem they they had this autoimmune

issue you have antibodies and you have

inflammation so you have to be on

something that

that’s the most important thing is get

rid of the inflammation anything that

contributes to it and Grains and grain

seed oils are at the top of the list and

so is sugar so um this is why diabetics

have more problems with their immune

system with autoimmune problems with

inflammation

I feel really well and then whenever I

don’t know if people know these maybe

people who do a struggle with locals

will understand it’s like it’s a cyclic

thing you feel great and then you have

moments when you don’t feel great at all

and I feel like I’ve tried every single

um diet out there even when I didn’t

know about the diagnosis

I was constantly advised to just you

know have a lot of fruits and every time

I will eat fruits I will feel horrible

uh or like you need to eat a lot of

quinoa no I will feel horrible

um but you know

what I I guess you know my my

um and I don’t want to call it a worry

but I do wonder you know as a woman

um will it be the same you know fasting

in women and men make that’s a different

question but if I am having

um one of those episodes where I feel

you know not great

um would that be a good moment to like

increase my fasting with you know

or if that makes sense yeah and I think

it’s good to prove it to yourself that

that will work

um the great majority I’m talking 95 of

people when they start fasting if they

have any problem inflammation autoimmune

it just all of a sudden it gets better

um why is that because you’re creating a

um a type of stress that makes your body

get stronger and it affects you at the

genetic level it really helps the um

the anti-inflammatory genes and the

immune genes go into the right direction

you want them to go into so and I think

keeping a log and just identifying uh

when you do bad what you hsb4 is going

to be really important but I will say

you know working with

tens of thousands of people

um it will work

um usually for everyone that has

autoimmune

that’s great thank you thank you Elena

so much I think I will give you a money

back guarantee

of course I didn’t charge anything so

anyway thank you you’re welcome very

good please as always Lena get back with

us and let us know how fasting or

whatever you try helps you it’s

fascinating to hear back and thank you

for joining us on today’s show Let’s uh

let’s see go back to did I answer the

question Jerry let’s see now we got one

more let’s try this one here’s a new one

take it away doc okay why do people get

a yeast slash candida infection after

they take antibiotics

All Right audience climb on that and

let’s go back to social media

um

huh Micah from YouTube what is the root

cause of alopecia what is the uh within

the hair that immune system is attacking

what’s going on with alopecia

now I will say there are

some genetic factors that make people

susceptible if their diet isn’t right if

their stress is nice and low which good

luck on planet Earth

um so that being said usually these

autoimmune diseases originate in the gut

because you’re maybe eating something

that’s creating inflammation and then

you get something that passes through

that that little Junction that’s

supposed to be tight and then your

immune system reacts and then you start

developing antibodies to this to these

problems so

um because Auto

alopecia is an autoimmune problem that

being said there are natural things you

can do to offset that and prolong the

problem or improve the problem done a

lot of videos on that you would want to

take um things that

um

reduce this one enzyme called a

5-alpha reductase which is a type of

enzyme that um normally

um is is increasing testosterone into

dhg which is burning out your hair

follicles

um and so there’s a lot of natural

things for that one one that I like the

most is something called stinging nettle

root because that does not just that it

gets rid of inflammation it it helps

reduce and balance estrogen there’s a

lot of really cool things in stinging

nettle root that um that can help you

okay very good Lena talked about lupus

and autoimmune diseases here’s Julie

from YouTube can healthy keto help

someone with Ms what a terrible

condition that is

I I think it’s going to help them to a

certain degree but they’re also going to

need to do

um fasting

prolonged fasting periodic prolonged

fasting and they’re also going to need

to do higher levels of vitamin D

now I’m going to just say something

um

I’m going to be getting into DNA a lot

I’ll be creating a lot of videos I’m

just organizing that right now it’s

fascinating I wish I had this tool in

practice it will allow people to finally

figure out why they have these weird

symptoms that don’t seem to go away when

you take the remedy that’s one thing it

can do and so um there’s a lot of people

that even if they take

you know

5 000 I use the vitamin D

it’s still not working for them they

need to take much much higher great

greater levels of the vitamin D because

genetically there’s um there’s a problem

with the conversion there’s a problem

with the absorption and that just

doesn’t go in I mean as I’m

you know reading these DNA reports quite

a few people have a problem with vitamin

D and they had no idea so here they are

taking the 5000 I use or even 10 000 I

use and they still don’t notice the

difference and so they give up on it

thinking that’s not going to work and

now they really go down so it’s really

about um finding out what’s wrong with

you personally and then addressing that

but but sometimes you have to kind of

look inside the body and see what’s

going on and so the DNA stuff is going

to be the wave of the future

um but the problem for most people is

finding someone that can explain it to

explain it to you so it’s not so high

level and confusing and that’s been

difficult and that’s where I I’m gonna

help people I’m going to actually create

these videos and I’m going to explain it

as if you were a seven-year-old

so that way you can get it oh boy Terry

that’ll be

anyway next episode Steve can get it

let’s see now uh now let’s go on to the

phone in this case uh Jenna from Sweden

or perhaps her dad Waseem Jenna are you

there

I’m here

okay she’s taking her dad’s place uh uh

Jenna you are on with Dr Berg go ahead

with your brief question

or the IPL laser if it’s safe does it

cause cancer does it affect fertility

will there be a long-term damage

maybe you can hear Steve but I can’t

well I tell you what um uh Jenna I’d

like you to get a little closer to the

mic because we could hear you pretty

good at the end of your comment repeat

your question and get a little closer to

the mic please

okay

um

I would like to know your thoughts about

the laser hair removal for the whole

body or IPL laser if it’s bad or safe

does it cause cancer does it affect see

if I can’t hear anything I can so she

wants to know about all all whole body

laser hair removal treatment wants to

know if it could possibly create cancer

or any other health things is that a

okay thing to do

good question I don’t know about these

laser treatments I’m not excited about

them especially when you’re removing

hair and I’m definitely not excited

about some of the creams that remove

hair too that you’re putting on your

body unfortunately

you know there’s just not a quick

solution other than the

the wax and the tape and ripping out the

hairs and experiencing all that

wonderful pain but

um yeah I don’t I don’t know about that

and I

my first reaction is I don’t I don’t

think I like it

especially if it’s a hot laser

interesting okay with my sarcasm good

and uh Jenna I’m so sorry that we can’t

kind of go on but I was very difficult

to hear you but I think the consensus is

here that uh that might not be the best

thing in the world and if you want to

torture your dad give him a full back

waxing I had one of those wants as a

gift and will never request it again

the came out in me now I know what

to get you for Christmas oh my gosh this

this wonderful cheery Vietnamese girl

was doing it to me and she just I think

started getting this sort of delight

every time I would wrench up in horror I

think it was amusing her I was such a

but anyway I don’t really

recommend that for Harry Scotsman

all right let’s move on uh and let’s go

back to the Green Room a lane is smiling

and that always encourages me if

anyone’s uh you know listen go ahead

Elaine with your question for Dr Byrd

thank you very much

um I have a friend that is started using

an EMS exercise suit from a company

called Catalyst and he he said he does

his exercises and he turns up the amount

of electricity that’s going into his

muscles and ah that makes me very uneasy

and I was curious what your insights are

if you have any resources I could give

to him that that gives him some of the

warnings of why he might not want to use

that form of exercise equipment now is

it is it electric impulses or is it

electromagnetic uh elect uh Fields it’s

electric it’s the like giving you little

shocks on your mouth oh the TENS unit

yeah yeah I um

I’ve had those units before and I’ve had

even had one that puts 50 000 impulses a

second

um I I don’t know if that’s the best way

to stimulate the muscle I really don’t I

don’t know the side effects but I think

it’s more for a therapy

I know some people use it on their

stomach so that way they don’t have to

do a sit-up you know I think just going

back to the old-fashioned you know

workouts might just be the optimum way

to do this because you you want to get a

full contraction relaxation versus just

a stimulus there’s all sorts of um

tricks and things that people are doing

to try to

you know work their muscles I don’t I

don’t I’m not crazy about that electric

stem for your muscles at all

so I don’t know of any long-term side

effects but um if you start twitching

when you take it off then we know

there’s a problem

thank you you’re welcome that’s great

thank you so much for your succinct

question Elaine that allows us to get to

everybody and that is in fact everybody

in the green room so thank you all for

being so disciplined and having such

interesting questions that was great

okay quiz question the latest one uh

asked why do people get a yeast candida

infection after antibiotics and guess

what doc a hundred percent of our

respondents say it’s because antibiotics

disrupt or kill off the healthy bacteria

and Flora in your gut are they onto

something

they are on to something what you have

to realize that the gut is made up

of not just bacteria it’s made up of

friendly yeast and

at least a hundred different types of

friendly Candida

and that’s in the fungus family so we

have funguses and then we have bacteria

and the the fungus group is called

uh Mike Michael biome and the bacteria

group is called

microbiome so you got these both these

things and they work together and so the

bacteria keeps these microbes in check

they release at least five different

compounds that um regulate the

overgrowth and the misbehavior of these

fungus and so when you wipe those guys

out you just get rid of the police and

then they start going

unfriendly they now they have an

opportunity to turn on you and the

relationship changes to a very

unfriendly candida so um any time that

you take an antibiotic and take it

sparingly you better at the same time

take a probiotic and realize that that

yeast infection can then get out of hand

real fast and then of course then people

take medication for fungal infections or

yeast and then they create bacterial

resistance and other side effects and

problems with the bacterium so you have

a

some interesting things living inside

you that are helping you and you kill

one one thing off another and you create

another problem so you have to take the

big picture and look at the consequences

of

um some of these treatments out there

that are only focused on one thing and

um and this I think this is the problem

in even a medicine they’re over

specialized and they’re all in their

separate Islands

um focus on this but they’re not looking

at the whole picture

okay very good we’re gonna go to Stephen

on Facebook for his cancer question but

first let’s knock out another question

there you go Dr Berg

okay what is the food with the highest

amount of vitamin K2

and vitamin K2 is a vitamin that is

responsible for making your

bones really solid and strong driving

the calcium in the bones and the teeth

and it does other things as well but um

that would be a big function very good

okay as promised Stephen from Facebook

what are the best foods to eat to fight

cancer or maybe foods not to eat what do

you say Doc

foreign

cancer is a problem with the

mitochondria you have damage in the in

the DNA of the mitochondria and as an

Adaptive

compensation to that

it to survive it shifts its metabolism

to

um no longer

um

running on one fuel system it’s now it

can actually ferment

um mainly glucose okay so that’s really

what’s going on so now what diet should

be on to support that well something

that does not cause damage something

that promotes the health of the

mitochondria

and there’s a lot of foods that will do

that

um a nice balance of um

green raw vegetables with all the

antioxidants but at this at the flip

side if you just eat vegetables or

you know a vegetarian or vegan diet then

you you’re setting yourself up for

deficiencies unless you take certain

vitamins and things like that so you do

want a balance of really healthy animal

proteins

um together so basically that’s why I

think the healthy version of the

ketogenic diet is the best way to

prevent cancer once you get cancer

there’s a slightly different program

I’ve done videos on that

um because now you have to

um

depending on how severe it is you might

have to add a lot more fasting and uh

not as much protein but I talk about

that in some recent videos very good

we’ve got some feedback Dr Berg from the

field Bridget from Facebook says she

increased her vitamin D3 on your

recommendation and my whole body feels

better I sleep better I breathe better

and my aches and pains are much much

more or less I’m going to question that

grammar that’s all right unbelievable

thank you for sharing your knowledge

with us and sorry for being a grammarian

that was mean of me Bridget I I never

get it right

that’s great awesome isn’t that terrific

so anyway well give a little bell on

that I’m glad you feel better uh Dr

nahi Nasheed excuse me from Facebook

what dietary advice would you offer a

patient who’s a hemophiliac boy I

haven’t heard of that condition for a

while

I would I would just um nothing special

I would do the routine healthy version

of the ketogenic diet

um I do know that um

black seed is a is a good remedy for

that condition so that would take that

in addition to the normal ketogenic diet

and with the intermittent fasting and

definitely do periodic prolonged fasting

and that’s a standard routine thing that

I would do

um and I I just I would love to have

um feedback from a medical doctor that

all they do is kind of start

instead of treating the symptoms as a

primary thing get people on the basic

eating plan and then reevaluate to see

if those symptoms are still there

they’re going to be quite surprised how

many of those problems go away if you

just work on what people eat and

unfortunately

um

what’s recommended in medicine as far as

what to eat comes from The dietitian

which

you know what it’s just highly political

and of course um Whoever has the largest

funding for lobbyist groups gets to be

in that pyramid

okay this is a fundamental question I

think from Justin on Facebook I’m having

trouble understanding how natural sugar

will knock me out of ketosis please

share your thoughts

well I think you’re probably talking

about natural sugar from fruit right

that’s what I guess natural sugar or you

should talk about sugar cane well fruit

and sugar cane and beets all have a good

portion of glucose and fructose

so then you also have

dextrose which is glucose made

synthetically so you got the a natural

natural and um

but the actual chemistry of that glucose

and fructose

is the same as the synthetic but you

also have other things in fruit for

example you have the phytonutrients and

vitamins and some Fiber Etc but when

we’re talking about sugar of course it’s

going to be way better if you have

natural sugar in its whole form

but if you’re just doing

um let’s say cane sugar which is natural

right

[Music]

um

versus synthetic sugar you’re probably

gonna have the same problems because

there’s you lack the antioxidants and

you you’re still spiking the blood sugar

so

um when you consume

fructose

um it doesn’t actually

um

affect your blood sugars very much but

it goes right to your liver and it

indirectly creates insulin resistance

indirectly so it does affect you

indirectly in a major way I release the

video on that recently but um

yeah um

just because the sugar is natural

whether it’s coconut sugar or whatever

it’s still going to spike the blood

sugar and that is the problem with sugar

but whether what other resources comes

from

all right very good we have feedback on

the question here uh the the latest one

asks what food has the highest amount of

K2 in it and forty percent of our

respondents say is cruciferous veggies

20 say sauerkraut or other fermented

foods 20 say leafy greens ten percent

say butter that’s interesting and ten

percent say uh NATO or Kiefer natto NATO

or Kiefer

Okay so

maybe some people who mentioned

cruciferous were thinking about the K1

but I’m talking about K2

that’s different

um and some a lot of the not a lot I

would say a certain amount of the

vitamin K2 comes from K1 in your gut so

you can make some K2 from microbes and

believe it or not

um E coli is one of the microbes that

makes K2 so you do have somewhat

um

friendly E coli in our guts but here’s

the thing someone mentioned NATO which

is a fermented soybean and that would be

the number one but because the majority

of the population

probably will never eat NATO because of

the way it tastes yeah it’s an acquired

taste

um I’m gonna I’m gonna talk about

the number one food that is most that

most people we eat how about that I have

to clarify that and that would be cheese

cheese raw milk cheese and out of all

the cheeses the hard cheese

has the most except

for one cheese that’s a semi-soft cheese

which has even more than that and that’s

the monster cheese and I’m not talking

about the American monster cheese I’m

talking about the stuff you would get in

France

and that’s where you get the um the real

stuff and that will give you

um the most K2 so those raw milk cheeses

are going to give you the K2 and it’s

gonna like you’re saying well wait a

second they’re so filled with saturated

fat that’s going to harm my arteries

uh no it’s not

I know you’ve been taught taught that

but the K2 is going to keep the calcium

out of the arteries and um

anyone who says that 18 saturated fat is

going to create heart problems just ask

them for the reference to study and uh

it’s only they’re going to actually show

you a study and if you read it it’s

going to be a usually an observational

study and that involves the saturated

fat because they’re eating too many fast

foods

but they’re not going to differentiate

that between all the sugar and the

processed foods with the saturated fat

they lump it all into one thing and then

they call it well saturated fats bad

because we did this study yeah but was

it isolating saturated fat as a variable

no it wasn’t

because there isn’t any study like that

good news and if there is please send it

to me I’d love to see it all right we’re

waiting send it in and by the way we

have demonstrated that our audience is

very smart how would you like to get

smarter audience well you can by

downloading Dr Berg’s uh app and you can

see the video find a video so much

easier and the better news is it’s

available on iOS

or Android products so folks get that

and you’ll be even screaming faster on

the quiz questions okay let’s see we

should also talk briefly about the fact

that you know it’s not just the United

States that enjoys your products but

other areas so uh Dr Burr can you tell

them about the progress we’re making in

getting your great products into places

around the globe

yeah we’re we’re expanding of making

things available I think we’re almost uh

available in India too so that’s good

um so

um if you if there’s if you want more

information there should be a link down

below

um in the comment section or in in the

description section okay why don’t we

wrap up with social media uh Michael

from YouTube please share your thoughts

about the benefits of krill oil krill

oil

I like Krill I like it it’s very very

high in omega-3 fatty acids specifically

DH uh a and um

again I think the majority of the

population is just too inflamed and they

need to beef up no pun intended the

amount of Omega-3 in krill oil is one

way to do it

um you can do it with cod liver oil but

Krill is very concentrated and it’s a

really good source

on that note

I really appreciate all the wonderful

comments that I read all week long and

even on this show you stayed this long

and I really appreciate that stay tuned

for more

um of my videos this next coming week

and some interesting topics and have a
