thank you

welcome back everyone we’re here with

another q a anything that I say is

definitely not going to diagnose or

replace your medical care check with

your doctor before implementing any of

these

ideas that we talk about

we have a great room today of uh in the

green room we have great guests that are

on that we’re going to answer the

questions as well as on social media so

Steve Dive Right In let’s get started

well I I sure will now slightly

prejudiced because our first guest is

from Winston-Salem North Carolina

arguably the racing capital of America

anyway and I’m going to unmute her and

this is Mary from North Carolina Mary

you’re wrong with Dr Byrd

good morning I’m 65. I have no

gallbladder for 28 years uh they told me

I have a fatty liver a long time ago

um I have abdominal fat

I’m a pre-diabetic

um and my biggest problem is I have

blood sugar drops two or three times at

night that wake me up I have a

continuous glucose monitor with an alarm

so I feel better about that and um I’d

like to sleep through the night

that’s a good goal have you started keto

yet or intermittent fasting

I have increased my fasting time to 10

hours and then I found that just the

last two nights I had all the symptoms

but not the blood sugar drop and that

was confusing to me

wow so so something is changing have you

started to reduce your carbs yet

oh sometimes I try to eat something low

carb like a healthy salad with grilled

chicken on top and then I have like

severe carb Cravings after that so I’ve

tried but not real successfully

probably what you’re running into is

without that gallbladder we just don’t

have enough bile to extract some of the

fat soluble nutrients and things that

could satisfy your brain so you’re like

okay good I can do this I think um

one thing that I would do if I were you

is I would um

add the apple cider vinegar like a

tablespoon of water which will automatic

before in the evening

um somewhat before bed because that will

actually right there help give you

energy directly you can use it as fuel

it won’t spike your blood sugars it can

help stabilize things when you wake up

in the morning also through the night

the other thing is berberine is a

natural kind of a natural metformin that

can help with insulin resistance which

you probably have some pretty severe

insulin resistance but if the goal is to

handle these issues that you mentioned

um we want a combination of

both intermittent fasting and keto the

problem that you’re running into is you

you’re you probably can’t go for a long

without being hungry or craving so the

way to go longer is to lower your carbs

so maybe you start off with some

replacements for the carbs like some

healthy versions of the you know

pleasure Foods or sugary foods that you

eat and then you start to lower the carb

which then will allow you to uh

start to shift the body more to fat

burning while you add more fat to your

meals to make you more satisfied to go a

little bit longer with fasting so now

you’re at 10 hours and you’re at 12 15

18 and then 20. and I think you’re just

right in the the transitional phase

where if you just push through that and

you keep tweaking things

with the things I mentioned you’ll get

to a point where when you’re burning fat

you have absolutely zero cravings and

zero hunger and once you have that it’s

working it’s going to be a lot easier

because trying to do this with Cravings

is really tough so

um you also probably would benefit by

taking some bile salts after your meals

because that way we’ll give the bile to

start to

replace what’s missing too

um and then one last thing which I think

is going to be the icing on the cake I

don’t want to mention cake but another

product you can order is called tadka

tud cup and tadka is a type of bile soap

that I recommend taking between meals

just just to help with your liver help

blood sugars help a lot of things and

help kind of keep your bile ducts open

and free-flowing so that’s t-u-d-c-a

tadka just take two of those on an empty

stomach

um somewhere in the day not with the

meal

and then um I think those actions will

um put you in good shape

oh okay okay

um

yeah in those artificial sweeteners yeah

yeah I would start doing those as your

uh replacement so that way you’re not

deprived that way you get the the

sensation of sweet but without the

actual sweet without the actual sugar

okay okay I’ve been working on those

oh okay all right I thought that the

berberine would lower my blood sugar and

make it worse at night

what happens is that it’ll help to uh

regulate insulin resistance which is a

little different and so it makes insulin

just work better

but if you’re if you’re eating carbs

and we’re still gonna have a problem

through the day if you had carbs but

um

what normally happens

um

with someone like you is that your liver

will start making

more sugar at night

um it’s called gluconeogenesis it’ll

make sugar and then the insulin comes in

there and pushes your blood sugars down

at night that’s because it’s trying to

counter that

um effect

so um

so that’s really what what uh what

you’re probably running into it’s your

sugar is not low because you’re eating

low sugars it’s coming from the insulin

that’s too high because you’re eating

carbs and also you have insulin

resistance so yeah

um

like 500 milligrams what time of day

I would do that you should probably do

that

um towards the late part of the day that

way all night long

because your your problem is like you

want to sleep through the night right so

we want to really fix this sleeping

because that alone will help your blood

sugars just by taking that stress

and getting you have to have a nice

rejuvenating sleep

because I know if I don’t sleep I’ll

crave carbs

well mayor we’re going to have to move

along but we appreciate your question

and hope that you would get back with us

and let us know how some of these

suggestions might Aid you in getting a

good night’s sleep which is essential so

thank you so much for joining us and uh

you know speaking of uh bringing up cake

I shouldn’t but having to do with having

your cake and eating it too if you look

up uh discipline in the dictionary you

will not find my picture I’ve been one

of those that struggle my whole life and

intermittent fasting Beyond everything

else puts you in a position I think

where maybe even sticking to keto is

easier because you’re confining it to a

certain period of time I don’t eat until

the afternoon everybody has a different

routine I’m not the least bit hungry

right now and it’s 11 A.M my time and

it’s like again having your cake and

eating it too because I’ve never found a

system where I could be satisfied and

not torture myself all today with

wanting to eat anything much less junk

food and it’s a terrific thing so if you

haven’t tried intermittent fasting Dr

Berg style then you’re really missing

out on a fantastic tool to maintain your

health lose tons of weight

etc etc

uh Steve just on that topic it’s

interesting because I have a friend who

uh is doing what he calls uh I guess he

coined it it’s called Dirty fasting

dirty fasting that dirty kid outside so

I said what’s that so he basically uh

eats the Nutella with the bread and uh

might go to McDonald’s whatever and

he’ll chew it enjoy it but he won’t

swallow it okay so spits it out and so

he he said that works in fact he’ll say

that he’ll get to a point where he’s

full

he’s not swallowing anything so he gets

the because a lot of the scent the The

receptors for these foods are in your

mouth right and so

um it works for him he does it

apparently he does it he can fast for a

whole week doing this so I probably

won’t do a video on it but you know what

if it works um you know if you need to

do that

you have dirty intermittent fasting wow

audience if you see a guy spitting out

his french fries in line at McDonald’s

you’ll know who he is

right all right let’s get on to a

fascinating quiz question and this is um

the first one of the day doc there you

go

all right uh let’s see why do uh the

majority of people with gluten

intolerance

at 0 GI symptoms like they don’t have

bloating they don’t get abdominal pain

and they don’t have diarrhea

interesting okay well listen in addition

to our guests in The Green Room from

around the world let’s go ahead and give

a shout out to the rest of them uh so

we’d like to say a good morning to all

of our viewers joining us today from the

UK thank you uh Barry we’ll be with you

embry-owned guy I think I screwed her

name up but she’ll straighten this out

in a little bit okay so from the UK

Canada Mexico Norway Chile the

Philippines Jordan Barbados the Czech

Republic Nigeria France India Poland

South Africa Israel the Netherlands

Taiwan the Dominican Republic Ghana

Belgium Italy Ethiopia Bermuda Germany

uh Argentina Japan Trinidad and Tobago

Sweden Austria Spain New Zealand Brazil

Bangladesh turkey Portugal Austria

uh Australia excuse me Oman Lebanon

ubeekistan Iran Peru Saudi Arabia

Ireland uh Eritrea the Virgin Islands

Denmark Switzerland Lithuania Scotland

been there Indonesia Wales Slovakia

Malaysia Hong Kong I think this might be

the longest list ever Uganda Qatar

Cyprus Jamaica Finland Cameroon Algeria

United Arab Emirates Pakistan Armenia

Ireland the Singapore Aruba and all

across the East United States I think we

could have a whole show and just naming

people that are listening but I think

that would get a little monotonous so

there you have it audience thank you all

so much for joining us from around the

world and enjoying among other things

intermittent fasting it’s just so great

okay why don’t we go to social media

which we’ve neglected thus far Louise

from Facebook can we order from tatka

and berberine from your website do you

have such a thing no I don’t have those

products you can get them anywhere

they’re very available so there’s

certain products that are easy to get

um

and they’re they’re pretty good quality

so I I wouldn’t need to have no I

wouldn’t have any need to create those

products my the products I create are

mainly um either difficult to get or the

quality is really bad out there so um

but yeah you can get these anywhere

wonderful okay let’s go back to social

media again or rather stick there for a

while and uh scroll up a little Kappa

Kappa from YouTube do you have any

advice on how to heal severe leaky gut

syndrome in an ASD child whatever that

is with lots of food intolerance issues

well the first thing you have to do is

avoid the things that are causing the

problem and I would say out of anything

uh

gluten is at the top of the list so you

have to avoid grains

and start following the healthy version

of ketogenic diet now to heal that area

bone broth is something

um glutamate is a supplement that you

can get to help heal the gut and cabbage

juice believe it or not has uh

properties in there

it’s actually a little glutamate as well

to help heal the intestinal lining

um

uh there’s also as far as the diet I

would recommend doing carnivore because

the fibers are going to irritate your

gut

um so that would be the best advice for

someone that is younger or older that

has leaky gut

if you have leaky gut you’ve lost the

pneumucosal barrier that that layer of

mucus that um

makes It Wide Open to have certain food

particles get into your

body through the lymphatic system there

and then create all sorts of immune

reactions and allergies and and even

autoimmune problems

all right very good again to YouTube

Alma from YouTube I’ve been on keto on

and off for a while thank you for your

honesty and I’ve been having a lot of

joint pain and fatigue lately my new

doctor recommends going vegan do you

have any thoughts on the vegan diet

yeah it’s very difficult to to do and if

you have inflammation I I wouldn’t go in

that direction simply because the uh

there’s a lot of things on the vegan

diet that can irritate your gut and

increase more inflammation because

there’s high amounts of omega-6

in grains and other Foods so um and also

yeah you’re not going to be doing

um fish or fish oil so how are you going

to get your omega-6 I mean three and

there are you can do algae but that’s a

little bit different

um as far as your your DHA and your

Omega your omega-3 so it’s a it’s it’s

possible uh it’s not uh something I

recommend if you’re just trying to

resolve inflammation

um

and um vitamin D is another good

anti-inflammatory nutrient and high

amounts for inflammation

but watch my recent video on joint

inflammation because I cover all the

different sources and I think you’ll

benefit from that

very good okay again from social media

um this is a sweeping statement Holly

and from YouTube should high glucose

corn syrup be banned from American food

ingredients and Supply question mark

that would be a good idea because it’s

in all these foods and uh it’s so badly

processed and it’s uh loaded with um

all sorts of things that I have no

benefit to your health whatsoever and

it’s like

so super concentrated

um

yeah I I would unless you’re putting on

your pancakes and using it that way I

wouldn’t recommend it I’m being very

sarcastic very good will Holly Ann Dr

Berg is on your side uh omwinga from

YouTube would you recommend using

activated charcoal when treating low

stomach acid and sibo

no I would use that more for uh toxicity

uh and like let’s say you have um

some poison if someone’s trying to

poison you or whatever I would take that

or you ate something food poisoning I

would take that or maybe some bloating

but sibo uh that’s usually you want to

increase the hydrochloric acid in the

stomach okay so we wanted HCL

um butane hydrochloride and then or some

apple cider vinegar that will start to

sit up on the stomach and decrease the

microbes coming through the other thing

that I would take is some bile salts

because chances are you probably don’t

have enough and the bile salts actually

go through the small intestine to act as

a detergent to kill off these microbes

because you have microbes growing in the

wrong place and then they’re fermenting

so if you add more fiber that would be

bad so you want to probably do carnivore

for a while and take the betaine

hydrochloride but I don’t think charcoal

would be the best thing to take on that

okay very good and Teresa this time from

Facebook can babies be fed whole eggs

now I think they would choke on it I

would recommend cutting up first Dr Berg

yeah if a baby is very very young you

know like I mean the breastfeeding is

going to be the best thing honestly and

then maybe when they get uh to the age

of

um 18 or a year old

then maybe start introducing some really

high quality eggs

um

yeah at that point but um if you could

do breast milk that’s going to be the

best thing um that you especially to

prevent um all sorts of problems on the

road like immune problems allergies and

uh have the best chance of um

having a good health

incredible okay uh quiz question number

one asked why did the majority of people

with gluten intolerance have zero GI uh

symptoms and 90 percent of our

respondents say it is because gluten can

cause inflammation in the gut and 10

save because the large intestine process

is improved by gluten-free foods no

answers at all excuse me that’s it on

any other topic so there’s your 100

percent

so Brett I mean uh Steve you probably uh

know there’s people like bread and pasta

right and cereal crackers and biscuits

and things like that and so as soon as

you start getting into that area and you

tell people oh you shouldn’t eat that

um

literally it’s like you’re taking away a

big part of their life so I’m going to

tell you something about this uh topic

on um on gluten that goes beyond just

the sugar effect the turning into sugar

and the weight gain and glyphosate which

is herbicide that’s in the wheat and

things like that

um

even if you do gluten-free you still

have those problems but gluten in

general is like one of the only uh

proteins that can’t be fully digested

um and so gluten is really a complex of

different proteins one being a series of

gladness and that protein has a real

fascinating effect in the gut in the

brain

it stimulates the opioid receptor giving

you a morphine-like action

now why do people take morphine it’s for

pain relief right

so what they found and I have a I’m

going to do a video on this is that

you’re really kind of stimulating like

this pain relief in your gut so you

don’t feel the symptoms going on but

they’re going on

and then that gives you this idea that

wow maybe I’m okay maybe I can eat that

bread without a problem

yet you have all these other issues that

you might not think are connected but

they are

so

um that’s really what’s going on with

gluten and um I have a video release on

that and um in Europe

um they ferment

grains longer so there’s less gluten

so there’s probably less issues

um and also they have less enrichment

like the iron that’s in a lot of these

um grains it creates a lot of bloating

as well but that being said just because

you know you don’t have a digestive

reaction doesn’t mean that there could

be a problem going on and so and the

only reason I’m bringing this up is

because I um

I’m doing a lot of DNA testing and I’m

finding the great majority of people

have gluten intolerance from a genetic

level

it’s actually more common than I thought

interesting yeah we don’t have a lot of

they don’t have a lot of bloating or

they don’t have

GI problems huh which is interesting oh

well poor things Liberty yes from

YouTube here’s some good news I have

been on healthy keto since November and

have lost 50 pounds my physician says

all my numbers are perfect which was not

the case a year ago and why I went on

keto 25 pounds to go uh go Liberty and

we’re rooting for you and of course says

thank you Dr Berg and as by the way tons

of these things flying by on the

comments from YouTube and Facebook we

don’t have time to put them all and of

course we want to get to the things that

interest you but that good news should

be interesting because this stuff really

does work as is evidenced by people all

over the world turning in tuning in

excuse me okay Fannie from YouTube I

have kidney disease and I am on dialysis

what should I be doing to help heal my

kidneys thank you

I I have had several people even in my

clinic come come to me um on dialysis

usually from being a diabetic for a long

time and so um it really depends on what

stage you are as far as kidney disease

if you’re a stage five then

that’s a situation you’re gonna have to

work with your doctor to um

you can’t really do you know the same

diet necessarily because you have to

avoid phosphorus and potassium and

things like that but if it’s not a stage

five

um I would definitely go low carb Dr

Fung who’s a kidney specialist I mean

that’s what he recommends for his

diabetic patients you can you know start

cutting down the sugars and you know you

might be surprised how

um you have kidney Improvement uh one

gentleman that I did work with that I’m

not gonna

make any claims he was on dialysis and

he got to a point where he didn’t need

it anymore and his doctor said you know

what we’re not going to do it anymore so

and we worked with his diet I’m not

going to say that that happens to you or

anyone but I think it can help and you

want to go low carb and do intermittent

fasting immediately

all right very good well listen up boys

to this question and here’s question

number two Dr Burke

all right what is the best Trace mineral

to raise testosterone

right my pen is quivering over the paper

dying for the answer so answer that as

you always do audience and why don’t we

go back to a phone call that we’ve

gotten today from Stephanie uh and

Stephanie I forget where you’re from

I’m from Austin Texas Austin Texas good

for you don’t mess with Texas and once

you go here with your question for um Dr

Berg

hi Dr Burke so the question is actually

for my mom she’s 58 she’s five foot five

she’s 155 pounds she’s really clean

salads every day lean meats intermittent

fasting the 18 sticks she’s really like

she tries to be really healthy but

um the question is is that the other day

randomly she had said I would love to

experience the sensation of feeling full

and when we talked about that I was like

what do you mean and essentially she

said that she’s never eaten anything in

her life and felt full like she can feel

hungry with the growling and the hunger

pain but she’s never felt full before

like even as a child it like never even

if it’s a full three-course meal with

seconds and third she doesn’t feel full

when I would feel sick after all of that

she just doesn’t so I was wondering

what’s up with that and what she could

do about that so so I have a question

um

is it the feeling full or is it feeling

satisfied because you know eventually if

she keeps eating she’s like there’s no

more food that can fit in there right so

I just asked her and she said it’s it’s

satisfied it’s feeling satisfied yeah

that’s uh that’s interesting um there’s

a couple things uh that I would bring up

um

just with animals and in insects uh if

you feed uh carbs to them they’re not

gonna feel satisfied until they have

enough protein I’m assuming that she’s

eating enough protein and if she is if

she’s not then that could that can

actually satisfy her especially the

amino acids especially if he has enough

stomach acid to break it down but the

typical

um reason for not feeling satisfied is

um

I’m not saying it’s her situation but

there’s there’s not uh the nutrient

dense foods they’re very hard to find

nowadays I’ll give you one example I

live in a farm

um I have my own chickens we have eggs

when my son comes over when he eats

those eggs he’s a very fast metabolism

he can’t he can’t even finish like four

of them normally he could just keep

eating so when you’re eating foods from

usually in the grocery store that are

just not as

they’re not grown like even the

vegetables aren’t grown on soil they’re

hydroponic it’s going to be hard to be

satisfied because the the density of

nutrients aren’t in there to satisfy

that that’s one thing

so going to Farmers Market finding

nutrient dense foods important

the other thing is if you she might need

more bile salts so at the end of the

meal

um adding more like adding some bile

salts that might help increase uh the

bile to extract more nutrients from the

fat so you get the fat soluble nutrients

I know I I know that that alone can

cause someone to just not feel satisfied

um

so those are the things that I would

look at and then um

the other thing is that um

you know your microbiome also helps with

a lot of digestion and she may need more

probiotics too so adding probiotics at

night before bed or even after the meal

in the form of kefir playing kefir

um might be the ticket with some fat so

she has a little dish of kefir at the

end of the meal put some walnuts in

there

um or even

um macadamia nuts or even pecans and I

think that will that might help her

she’s been listening thank you so much

you’re welcome that’s great Stephanie

thanks for a great call and we’re well

wishes uh to your mother and let’s see

um we’re waiting for some quiz question

answers but in the meantime the early

bird house what a what a handle from

YouTube could you please explain the

pros and cons of bentonite clay I am low

on in iron and enjoy the clay but I’m

feeling uh very tired these days I don’t

know how you can enjoy the clay but I

hope it works

peace

you know when people crave iron

um sometimes they crave dirt and even

clay

so

um I don’t know if bentonite clay is the

best source of iron but um bentonite

clay is um it works

by not absorption by ads absorption so

things stick on the outside like 2 000

um

times the weight of that molecule of

bentamic clay just can accumulate around

it by kind of acting as a magnet so it’s

really good

to help detox you pull toxins out reduce

toxicity get rid of the um

reactions from

any type of detox but it’s also good as

a microbial

um

antimicrobial and so that’s what I would

use it for but the fact that you are

iron deficient you should probably do

like red meat or liver and if you don’t

like that have them in a get them in a

like a grass-fed liver pills

um that would that would pretty much

handle anemia

but of course you want to find out why

your anemic in the first place is it uh

menstruating is it a problem with

needing

betaine hydrochloride which will help

you absorb the iron so these are all

things all these things that I would

look at

um first like why why you have the

problem in the first place but I don’t

have enough data so we will just

we won’t go there but um that that’s my

short answer

okay very good why don’t we go to Nona

uh now who’s in New Hampshire and I hope

it’s warming up up there at this point

and Nona you are hang on let me click

the right button here Nona you are on

with Dr Berg

Dr Burke thank you for giving me this

opportunity to ask you questions

um I’ve started to begin with I’m 59

years old I have hypothyroid I have

diabetes I’m diabetic 2 type type 2

diabetic for almost 30 years

uncontrolled very very bad sugars you

even though I dieting all my life never

changed my sugar levels and

um

also um so I was kind of you know very

worried about my health and uh 19 days

ago I found on a YouTube your lecture

about intermittent dieting and keto

healthy keto and you know what I so much

believed in you that that very next day

I’ve

oh we lost her audio doc I’m not sure

why

your videos

and

um so

my sugars for 18 days

I have this little meter and there is a

green zones so that this is a normal

Zone my sugars are within this

green

so

because I have never had it never

my sugar was as low as 100 yesterday and

it’s like before if I would have it I I

would feel like a hypoglycemic but I

felt just great I eat and my sugar does

not go up right so I thank you for that

I have a question now the uh I am doing

uh I’m kind of rotating one day I eat

one meal and another day I eat two meals

uh uh so when I eat two meals I eat

about between 11 and 12 and the next

meal is between four and five

and the uh one one meal day I ate

between twelve and one so I was

wondering does that uh this

inconsistency does it interfere with the

intermittent dieting uh is it okay to

have this different times like 18 and 23

hours yeah let me answer that because

that’s a that’s an important question I

think it’s actually even better to do it

that way than to be

always exact in the same time if you

rotate it and you you can change it up

that actually will help you because it’s

uh if you think about

um our bodies were developed um not from

this consistent eating right or long ago

we didn’t eat at the same time we ate

when we found food so our bodies are

designed and they do really well at uh

switching it up not keeping it the same

all the time some days two meals someday

it’s one meal it’s totally fine you can

rotate it I mean the times I think you

should experiment with that but I’m glad

that you’re doing better two-bedroom uh

you’ve had it for so long but yeah this

is the answer to

[Music]

um

um diabetes I’ll tell you that so well

done thank you for uh coming on Nora

yeah we appreciate it Nora so much and

continue to keep in touch with us so we

can hear some follow-up stuff from you

some great answers let’s go back uh Nora

and I know you’re able to see this too

to our second question which asks what

is the best Trace mineral to raise

testosterone and um I’m sure the boys

are particularly excited about this 75

percent of respondents say it’s zinc 20

say it’s selenium and five percent say

it’s calcium

okay and the answer is zinc wow zinc

yeah zinc is uh

um is the best way to increase uh

testosterone and uh zinc has a it’s

probably one of the most important trace

minerals for immune system but it also

helps with the sense of smell and taste

and if you’re low in zinc there’s a real

simple

test to determine that and it’s called a

zinc test and you can get it online and

you just take a little bit of zinc on

your tongue and if you’re deficient you

won’t even taste it it’ll taste like

water but if you if you have enough

you’ll it’ll be like this really like

metallic bitter taste so that’s just a

really simple simple test but yeah

testosterone can be elevated when you

have zinc

okay very good I’m not sure how to

construct this question but just sort of

interesting Michelle from Facebook what

are your thoughts about people drinking

their ketones from people that are

selling on social media does that make

sense can you drink ketones yeah you can

um you can you can get uh two different

types of ketones that you can buy them

and they’re very expensive so

I think it’s kind of um unnecessary

you can also take MCT oil to get ketones

which is a lot less expensive and

um or just allow your body to create its

own ketones from your own fat because

when you take ketones realize you’re

getting the benefit

from ketones on your brain for sure

and maybe for energy but you don’t get

the benefit of using your own fat so you

don’t really

burn fat because your body is going to

use those ketones as fuel before it Taps

into your own fat

so I’ve experimented with it uh I’ve

I’ve done the liquid ketones before

workouts you know you might see a little

change a little Improvement here and

there but I think it’s not significant

significant enough to spend the money

for those ketones all right very good

let’s hop on to the next question this

one a great relief for the audience is a

true false so you have a 50 chance of

being brilliant there you are doc

true or false osteoporosis is a Calcium

deficiency

okay climb on that audience and let’s

see we talked about the ketones

oh here’s one Barb from Facebook what

are your thoughts about using colostrum

to boost skin Health instead of collagen

well it depends if it’s immune related

anything immune related you want

colostrum

collagen is not a bad thing if you want

to improve your gut or you know if

you’re if you’re not doing like a nose

to tail type thing you’re not doing

organ meats and let’s say you’re eating

chicken but without the skin that type

of thing then maybe collagen can help

you but the point is that the colostrum

is um an awesome thing for the immune

system you just have to be careful if

you’re um

allergic to casein or have severe

lactose intolerance which there could be

potentially some of that in there this

comes from dairy it could create a

little bit of a reaction but if you

don’t have a problem with that I think

it’s a really good remedy for uh severe

immune problems um especially if you

have a history of taking a lot of

corticosteroids and things like that or

prednisone

all right last but certainly not least

and I hope by pronouncing the name

correctly aberra is in the UK and I’m

unmuting her in a bear you are on with

Dr Berg with your one question in 30

seconds go

hi our doctor thank you so much for um

all your work I watch all your videos I

need to sometimes pull myself away and

just get on with my work because I can

watch you from morning to night

um I’ve just started I’m a 52 year old

woman and just stopped um HRT since I

started the ketogenic diet and

intermittent fasting

um what I’m calling about today is my

back pain I’ve got this back pain on the

upper left

I know you talk a lot about back pain

and how when you started your

intermittent fasting ketogenic it

stopped and all of that and you kind of

have linked it in one of your videos to

the to deliver right if I’m if I’m

correct however

um

I don’t know why um I also get some kind

of pain at the lower

part of my um my abdomen

the lower the lower side towards the

right and then this back pain towards

the left

okay and just to quickly say I started

getting some little rashes and I know

you said that kind of links too

the liver and all of that so I just want

to see if you could help me okay good so

do you have any problems with um

with um endurance up going up a hill

[Music]

um not really I don’t live in a hilly

area so I haven’t really tested that

okay do you have any pumpkin Walker if

that actually helps okay you have any

problems with sleeping

I used to but I’m getting better

um since I started a keto and stopped

eating late

so last night was a bit funny but that’s

I I I usually don’t sleep after teaching

I don’t know whether it’s because I get

all hyped up

um I’m an academic so but um so I I’m

pinning that down to getting all hyped

up when I teach so uh yeah

yeah so that um that’s uh more of the

sympathetic nervous system the flight or

fight which

um can definitely counter or inhibit the

digestion

um there’s a there’s a very

um rare

um link between

right shoulder

or neck or back and heart I don’t think

that’s your case I think what’s

happening is that it’s um maybe a little

sludge in the bile ducts because they do

cross over into the pancreatic ducts and

that could kind of create a little back

up into the pancreas and and the refer

pain because you have the phrenic nerve

is on both sides the right and left so

that can go right to the left shoulder

um so the remedy is the same it’s Tut

cut on an empty stomach you take two in

the morning and then two in the

afternoon Tucka and that will open up

the bile ducts and allow things to drain

and that pain should go away unless

there’s an old injury in the area then

you have to you know work on the

opposite muscle

um you can do that by hanging uh with

your arms and stretching the latissimus

dorsi underneath the arm for the upper

back that would help that

um and then for the for the lower

abdomen I would just start working on

maybe a good probiotic uh working on

Probiotic foods like sauerkraut and

start to include that because that

sounds like there could be some some

help needed in that area

but that’s kind of what comes to mind

um off the bat so

yeah why don’t you try that and then the

The Rush that I was the little rush that

I was saying it seems to not be going I

thought it was going away but it somehow

it comes back it’s just a little rush

but I I know you talked about the skin

and connections with you know things not

working properly on the inside well yes

but there is a little bit of a

subclinical loss of bile salts which is

causing some of these issues

um one of the problems is it tends to

back up in the system and it can create

some skin rashes as well as itching

okay all right so like like and because

you’ll find that even the um the tank

cut actually is good for the skin so it

might kill two birds with one stone very

good bear thanks so much for being a

great representative of the UK you’re

welcome and uh let’s see let’s move on

by the way audience I tried to wrap up

all our other duties except for

questions so we can have a

um a marathon of social media but let’s

go to the next question doc

okay so true or false osteoporosis is a

Calcium deficiency and then what did

everyone say

oh let’s see excuse me

um I was worried about that uh answer

number three we don’t have it yet so let

me put that on pause and uh

go back to something else

all right doc let’s see uh Tina from

YouTube My uncured beef hot dogs contain

hydrolyzed corn protein and potato

starch are they bad for the body please

advise

I don’t know why they have to add those

fillers in there yes it’s bad when you

start combining these starches

um

I’m not correct I might be wrong with

this but

I do know for a fact

um modified food starch

cornstarch maltodextrin

have a loophole and you don’t have to

list those as uh sugars you can list

them under the carbohydrate to then

allow you to say hey we have no sugar in

our food

um but those all three of those items

respond

way worse than sugar okay like table

sugar which is on the glycemic index

like what’s 64. well these like are in

the like high 90s or even over a hundred

so it doesn’t help your blood sugars and

when you combine that with protein in

the hot dog not a good combination

um definitely not keto and um

probably could affect your your

digestion a lot I know in the past when

I combined meat with bread or or even

like meatloaf or whatever boy I would

just

not feel good or even barbecued uh ribs

with all the sauce the sugar sauce with

protein

I always get so tired after I’d eat that

and so now I know why because it doesn’t

really mix it creates a problem with

digestion so

um

I wouldn’t I wouldn’t buy those hot dogs

very good all right well now I’ve caught

up with the audience and the question

was true false osteoporosis is a Calcium

deficiency and 95 of our respondents say

it’s false and five percent say it’s

true that’s a quite a spread there

well to the five percent

um the question is can you correct

if it’s true that osteoporosis is a

calcium efficiency can you correct

osteoporosis with calcium and the answer

is no you can’t

um you’ll you you probably end up with

calcified

arteries

um so

osteoporosis is a combination of

hormonal issues with low estrogen

a problem with a lack of vitamin K2 a

problem with a lack of

um

vitamin D

lack of trace minerals so it’s a whole

package you can also develop

osteoporosis by consuming too much

phosphoric acid in soda

you can also develop it from stress so

there’s a lot of factors I’m going to

release a video on this coming soon but

you realize Steve that over 50 percent

of women over the age of 50 have what’s

called osteopenia which is the precursor

to osteoporosis I I thought that was

excessive that’s too many people are

having this problem and they might not

even know it they’re not at risk for

fractures but it’d be good to know if

you have that so you can then quickly

reverse it and watch stay tuned for that

video on how to do that coming up

probably sometime next week okay very

good now this uh next question a true

falseh will be of interest to people in

saloons around the world and there it is

Doc

okay true or false if pure alcohol

has zero carbohydrates okay does this

mean it’s keto friendly

you folks think about that uh let’s see

so Ellie from YouTube what do you

recommend is a natural way to treat

someone with undifferential connective

tissue disease wow I I don’t want to go

on any prescriptions no drugs

so

I think it’s possible I think um I don’t

have the specifics on

the treatment or what’s involved with

that but if you have

some disease that’s genetic which I’m

assuming it’s genetic

um it doesn’t mean you have you could

have that problem it really has to do

with the epigenetic factors mostly

um so I would I would um

Implement all the basic things that I’ve

been telling people for a long time you

know healthy keto with intermittent

fasting

um more fasting than usual and then see

what happens it just might help you

um many times it’s not just a matter of

just consuming more protein or amino

acids especially with the collagen

disease I think you can pull off

Miracles if you do

um intermittent fasting for a lot of

these

disease is because your your genes your

DNA starts to kind of start surviving

when you start to not feed it so often

and this is why we see the results with

intermittent fasting and also the cold

therapy the cold bath

immersion tank which I’ve been doing

daily which is very interesting I like

it it really it’s amazing results

cognitive wise inflammation wise it’s uh

something I’m going to be doing on a

daily basis so if you haven’t

got any information on that watch my

video on that all right well the

audience for quiz question number four

has thrown all their money on one number

and the question was true false if

alcohol has zero carbs does it mean that

it’s keto friendly and a hundred percent

of respondents say nah it’s false can’t

get away with that

well that’s uh that’s correct so we got

it finally got everyone had a correct

answer on that

um because it’s keto it’s true like if

keto friendly has to have low carb right

but um the question is is alcohol a

carbohydrate and the answer is no huh um

does alcohol have calories the answer is

yes it has

almost as much many calories as fat per

gram but the way the liver cells do with

alcohol is that it considers it a poison

which it is and then it it has to deal

with it and it has to detoxify it and so

it has to break it down

and so

indirectly you start developing

um fatty liver

um

inflammation which then leads to insulin

resistance in the liver and then you

start developing

um scar tissue and eventually cirrhosis

but other than that I think you’re going

to be totally fine but um that is the

problem with the alcohol it’s one of

those things that people say well I’m on

keto I’m doing low carb I’m doing

intermittent fasting then you find out

they’re also doing wine every other day

and so they in their mind they’re like

well that’s it’s not much sugar in there

but the alcohol is keeping you from

getting results so just another factor

that

that’s not sugar

that could be stopping you from getting

to your goal

all right very sorry I’m sorry to

mention that because it’s not a popular

you’re not going to become popular when

you tell people to stop drinking new

anyway but they’re 100 correct

congratulations audience and here’s the

final true falser for the day

okay so true or false since the brain is

mostly fat

then photo mean that fat soluble B1

vitamin is good for your brain and the

in the brain issues

all right what say you audience now uh

let’s do a marathon of uh social media

oh here we go gender from Facebook

what’s the best way to break a 48-hour

fast

you want to go slow have a little bit of

maybe a little maybe a half like a maybe

an egg or a little bit of salad and then

wait

for maybe a couple hours have a little

bit more food wait

and have a small portion of something

but don’t have carbs don’t pig out

because

um

you can have some issues with that I I

made that mistake I think I was fasting

48 hours and

I was like okay I’m ready to eat and I

just started eating like way too much

thinking oh

I’m okay and then I I got really sick so

um you don’t want to do that you want to

ease into it especially if you’re doing

even longer fast

all right very good Romana from Facebook

has a twofer for us how can I recover

from PCOS and tremendous hair loss and

how can my mom recover lung fibrosis and

tongue ulcers boy that poor family

well the tongue ulcers can come from

gluten that’s one of the symptoms gluten

intolerance so you have to avoid grains

or a B12 deficiency

um

and

the first problem remind me

PCO is trying to get rid of recover yeah

yeah so that’s that’s too much androgens

coming from too much insulin it’s a

simple problem to solve because you just

need to reduce insulin through going on

a low carb intermittent fasting and that

will bring your androgens down nicely

and that’s the connection behind that

um

inositol is a really good remedy for

PCOS but if you don’t cut your carbs

down I don’t think it’s going to do

anything for you it’s going to be a

waste of money to get that but take a

good amount of inositol with the

ketogenic diet and you can say bye bye

to the PCOS

um I think that will help you greatly

all right once again the audience is

rolling the dice putting it all on one

number and the true false was since

brain is mostly fat benphotamine the fat

soluble B1 is good for brain tissues a

hundred percent of them say it’s

absolutely true

interesting because benphotamine is a

fat soluble B1 right

and it’s really good for peripheral

neuropathy that’s uh nerve pain in the

bottom of your feet or your hands

but apparently it doesn’t seem to cross

the blood-brain barrier so it doesn’t

affect the brain it doesn’t create any

significant changes in the brain

dysfunction that comes along with a B1

deficiency I recently found this out by

just doing a deep dive into another

video that I’m going to be releasing

so

um if you have

a lot of the deficiencies that are

associated with the B1 deficiency which

are in the brain like

um especially the hippocampus like

memory loss

um

difficulty learning brain fog

um

also Ataxia which is a gait problem

instead of gate and sleeping issues

insomnia

um you’d be better taking a natural form

of B1 and of course I’m not biased of my

own natural B1 but I do have one and

it’s called

lathionine and apparently this natural

B1 which is you can extract it from

garlic

is also fat soluble and it does

penetrate the brain and it does create

some cool effects

so

recently I had someone who had uh took

like four of them that’s 200 milligrams

before bed and had the best sleep

they’ve ever had

so it’s also good for that excessive

thinking

nervous anxiety worry uh a person needs

B1 and get it in the natural version if

you take the synthetic version you’d

have to take a lot more and some of the

synthetic B1 can actually give you

paradoxical type symptoms or opposing

additional

worsening of symptoms and so there’s

some issues with that so I don’t

recommend that unless

you’re taking for very short term

all right very good well the last

question of the day audience no offense

but wow wow wow didn’t get that one but

the previous 100 correct makes it a wash

so you’re all great Pamela from Facebook

I’ve heard that a drop of castor oil a

few times a day can get rid of cataracts

what are your thoughts I don’t know if

she was Dripping in her eye or in her

tongue but anyway

um I don’t I don’t know

um I don’t have any data on that I mean

it could

um but I know it’s good for

um getting your eyelashes back

um so that’s one one thing that is good

for I’m not sure about cataracts

um but the liquid MSM is good for

cataracts

um and sometimes even floaters

but it penetrates the eye and it can

actually help

um but

yeah I I don’t I don’t have any data on

that

if it can help or not very good well

Faith from YouTube and again our

thoughts and prayers go out to you what

would you recommend for someone with

stage four metastasized cancer in the

liver can you help with this um you know

for healing that’s a terrible diagnosis

so if I was in that situation uh what I

would do as the most important action is

I would um

start fasting and it has to be the worst

of cancer and stage four is is bad uh

the longer the fast I would fast for

three weeks starting yesterday

21 days I would do that and if I could

go longer I would go up to even 30 days

or even longer the only problem is if

you’re very very fragile and thin and

old trying to do that is going to be

really hard because you don’t you need

some fat on your body to fast

so um but if you can fast for a long

period of time you’re going to be

creating some really powerful epigenetic

um

resistance to this cancer spreading in

fact I’ve done interviews with several

people who had stage four cancer then

they did this and uh there they should

have been dead a long time ago and

they’re surviving guy tandem balm is one

of them and he even wrote a book on it

he said I interviewed him and there’s

also a protocol that um

that I uh helped sponsor uh a very

expensive study in Europe

of a protocol that was very significant

as far as the results and you can watch

my video on that as well search that and

I talk about the results but um it’s a

protocol that doesn’t have toxicity so

it’s it was comparable the results were

comparable to chemotherapy wow now I’m

not making any claims I’m just telling

you what happened on mice the mice study

that we did so if you do have any pet

gerbils or hamsters that have cancer you

can apply that protocol interesting okay

well Faith we’re certainly pulling for

you or your loved one that is in that

condition and we hope that you were able

to resolve that that’s from Facebook

I’ve been lactose intolerant since I was

little can you explain why magnesium

makes me feel sick all of the time

I don’t know I don’t know I think it

could be the form of magnesium or maybe

you don’t need it

um the other thing with magnesium

if you are deficient in potassium and

you take magnesium that could make your

potassium efficiency a little bit worse

so maybe what you do is you just take

more potassium to see if that doesn’t

put things Back in Balance

all right very good

I think we’re about to wrap up doc

and um well

yeah so um we’re back on track we’re

gone for two weeks

um I have a lot of uh interesting videos

coming up uh please comment down below

if you have any ideas the videos that

you want more data on and um

thanks for your attention if you’re

listening this long and this far into

this show I appreciate you and have a

wonderful weekend we will see you next

week same time

[Music]

thank you
