thank you

all right welcome back everyone we’re

here for another show anything that I

say is definitely not meant to diagnose

or replace your medical care check with

your doctor before taking any of the

advice that we’re about to give you

um

so welcome back and uh it’s cold outside

where I am I don’t know about you Steve

but um

uh I think I think winter is a coming

well I think so I’m in the South and

even for us it’s down in the 40s so

that’s pretty that’s pretty chilly uh

come North Carolina almost down to South

Carolina listen uh doc without further

Ado I’m going to bring Jennifer on

because she keeps popping off and on her

she’s from Kentucky and you know about

their internet down there in Kentucky so

uh Jennifer you’re on with Dr Birds

all right

um okay so I have started uh I started

keto in March started doing one meal a

day in August off and on and I’ve been

very faithful and all of a sudden and

then I just started doing the apple

cider vinegar from watching one of your

shows

um to in the morning and in the evening

and then ever since then it’s just my I

hate to be like you know too personal

but my my bowels have been so loose

I’ve never and I take and I’ve not done

anything else that’s different and so I

quit and then I started again yesterday

and it’s just I don’t know what I’m

doing wrong

that’s a good point it just tells me

that there’s um

there’s definitely an interaction

between acetic acid and your your

bacteria in fact your bacteria

is even a byproduct can make acetic acid

so you know I think it’s just an

imbalance going on and I don’t know

exactly what’s happening but what I

would do is I would just mix it cut it

out not use it you know it’s not going

to be

major Game Changer situation but

obviously with some people you know you

doesn’t work for you

so I don’t know exactly why but um I do

know there’s some difference that’s

going on in your microbes that might uh

might be significant but we would

probably have to do a deep dive into you

know a test or some type of stool sample

to see what’s going on and compare that

to normal

so so if I just didn’t maybe did it like

once a day you don’t think I mean

because I like the results I’ve not had

any other problems

you can try you can try just lessening

it and see if that doesn’t help you

um you can also try taking them in pills

that might help and let’s say for

example you do one one of those one

teaspoon a day and you still have a

problem

um then you can shift gears to using

something of attained hydrochloride

which is another type of acidifier for

your stomach but I would just start

lessening it to the point where you

don’t have any problem anymore try that

but that’s a very interesting effect

because I I don’t hear that often so I

don’t know why so I’ll have to find out

I’ll have to do some research on that

too well I I all when I quit I quit for

a week and then it and it still did it

and I like I said I just started

yesterday but it was still doing it so

I’m only assuming that it’s from that

because that’s the only new thing that I

did

well that’s the thing about

experimentation

um you just have to do it with one

variable to really make sure you do it

with one variable at a time don’t do two

things at once because then you don’t

know

um so if you’re sure that’s the only

thing

then do the next experiment just start

cutting down the amounts

and see what happens

um you may benefit maybe from some type

of uh either probiotic food like

fermented vegetables or just a probiotic

just to see if that that doesn’t help

you kind of repopulate because see

typically when you um have diarrhea

um you can have a deficiency of friendly

bacteria so putting that back in there

can actually help

um diarrhea so anytime someone has

diarrhea you want to add more probiotic

so uh or a food for the probiotic so

that’s just kind of a tip

okay

that’s great well listen get back with

us that’s a well that’s a pain in the

butt and so we hope that it gets better

and we’re glad that you uh came on with

us and we look forward to hearing your

continued success by the way

congratulations and all the other great

benefits you found from it and we hope

that you get over that so thank you

Jennifer for being patient with us I

know you popped off and on a couple of

times but we got your question out we’re

excited about that and if you’re still

there Jennifer we want you to look at

the first question and Doc here it is

okay what natural remedy

that you can get easily is the most

powerful

detoxifier in the world and I’m talking

about that can help neutralize poisons

um

and um lessen the risk factor of being

poisoned

all right sounds great okay uh let’s go

to social media finally uh Seer from

YouTube can you suggest a way to treat

OCD boy that’s a common topic

well of course

the best thing to do is to run your

brain on ketones so the way you do that

is something called the ketogenic diet

and you would not do snacks you do

intermittent fasting that probably would

handle it right there in combination

with a good

B vitamins a natural a natural source

something like nutritional yeast

would be very very powerful as well

because that way you can um

um helped to fortify the brain what it

usually needs for OCD and um

it’s usually related to some imbalance

with your diet and so I’ve done videos

on this you can take certain trace

minerals but the main thing is making

sure you get your diet corrected first

because that could be

solving the problem right there without

having to add anything

all right terrific so let’s go to let’s

find out if there are in fact is anyone

listening to us this morning and here’s

evidence a good morning to all our

viewers joining us today from the UK

Canada Jordan the Caribbean islands all

of my guests uh Brazil Austria South

Africa Israel Mexico Bermuda India

Belgium Italy Oman Ghana the Netherlands

Ireland Pakistan Greece France Denmark

Chile Egypt the United Arab Emirates the

Czech Republic Germany Austria excuse me

Australia Nepal Russia Malaysia Taiwan

Sweden Japan New Zealand Papua New

Guinea turkey Argentina Iran Switzerland

Poland the Philippines Finland

Afghanistan don’t forget about Bulgaria

Uganda Bolivia Peru Albania Tibet Cyprus

Dubai Scotland Croatia Iceland Cabo San

Lucas beautiful place Armenia Hong Kong

Saudi Arabia and all across these United

States and it’s funny you know if I

don’t get to the this list right away

Terry continues to update it because

more people just keep chiming and man

there’s a lot of people that are happy

with what’s going on with your various

programs Dr Berg and it’s evident in all

these people

um that are chiming in from all over the

world let’s see speaking of that oh and

here’s evidence Cindy from YouTube I’ve

been doing keto for three months now and

I went from 182 to 152 that’s a lot of

weight loss thank you Dr Berg for all of

the videos and wealth of knowledge that

you share with us I’m loving all of your

keto products too so uh oh and by the

way from the Green Room Rose is clapping

away she’ll be on with us shortly so

everyone’s delighted with what’s going

on including me Doc you know I’m I’m I

falter sometimes but man do I feel

better doing uh these programs to the

degree that I am willing so anyway let’s

actually go to another question here

um

I think we have to go to an answer first

right uh well let’s see if you’ve got

one hang on a second

not yet but I see that Terry’s typing

something okay uh Jamie from Facebook

your video on B1 has changed my life it

helped my uh panic attacks so much thank

you I thought that was a question but

that was another

um you know exaltation of the great

things that are going on uh let’s look

for another question okay all right

anatasia from YouTube what are your

thoughts on coconut sugar is it good

replacement for table sugar or is there

another alternative that you would

recommend

yeah coconut sugar is not a good

alternative actually probably the worst

sugar is um agave nectar

um but coconut sugar has just too much

sugar so you’re going to have to do

something like Xylitol or erythritol

um

as your sugar alternative or Stevia or

monk fruit because

um

these other sugars just are going to

blow your sugars out in fact I’m going

to do another video related to

the sugar in

apple juice and carrot juice and um

it’s fascinating to me when you do a

search

is will Apple Juice affect your blood

sugars

and I don’t know how many pages it’ll

say in Google when you search it oh it’s

fine it’ll be fine or fine it won’t

affect your blood sugars and of course

if you look at the fine print

um who’s sponsoring it’s called The

Juice Association

so yeah so it’s all sponsored by

industry so it’s like okay so how deep

do you have to go to find an actual

study that gives an alternative

Viewpoint and you have to go pretty deep

and I did find a whole bunch of

information so I’ll share that but um

I mean the easiest thing to do is an

experiment on yourself just check your

blood sugars drink some juice and then

record your blood sugars after you know

right away 30 minutes an hour two hours

and watch what happens to yourself

you’ll see and feel what happens when

you consume juice and the even USDA like

called my plate which is the new version

of the food pyramid

um you can now replace

um juice with fruits and vegetables

so now it’s like um you can just drink

your your fruits and oh yeah it’ll be

fine

um no it won’t be fine

all right well what is fine is the

audience a quick reaction to our

questions and the first question of

today asked what natural remedy is the

most powerful detoxifier in the world

and 65 percent of our respondents say

charcoal 20 say cruciferous vegetables

excuse me five percent say uh fulvic

acid never heard of it five percent say

iodine and the final five percent say

garlic how we doing doc

we’re doing good uh uh charcoal is the

answer so well done on that one um so

just uh if you want something to detox

go to your uh your barbecue grill that

you have outside grab the charcoal and

uh no you don’t want to use that you

want to get activated charcoal uh from

the health store but it’s fascinating

um charcoal has a lot of little tiny

pores and it has um little crevices and

cracks uh so it has a massive massive

surface area I’m talking like

um I think like one cubic centimeter is

equal to a thousand

uh

um kilometers if I’m not mistake um

or or

I’ll have to get the exact amount but

it’s massive but the point is this um as

a large surface area and it doesn’t work

by absorbing these toxins it works by

adsorption which is like a magnet so if

we take this magnet here it gets stuck

on the surface of the uh the charcoal

and it can pull not only

poisons but proteins

protein things that are poisonous to you

or not not good for you as well as gases

so it’s really good for bloating

flatulence diarrhea

also if anyone’s trying to poison you

even if you feel not good after you do

some type of detox or even when you’re

taking medications

Steve did you know the third cause of

death is outrogenic

disease do you know what that is uh yes

but I don’t want to seem too smart for

the audience why don’t you go ahead and

let them know

it’s basically

um it’s accidents that doctors uh

create by giving them certain medication

or surgeries so it’s it’s not

necessarily intended but um it’s

definitely the 30 is like medication so

with errors

um so there’s a lot of people getting

toxicity from drugs and um

unfortunately that you don’t really look

at that as a big problem as much as you

should so the point is that it’s it’s

probably a wise thing to have some our

activated charcoal in your house

somewhere just in case you might need it

they’ve been using it for animals for a

long time and also

um I think even

over 2000 years it’s been a natural

remedy for um GI problems and toxicity

so it’s a good thing to have because if

some somehow you swallowed something or

you’re exposed to something poisonous

and you can’t get to the hospital

you need charcoal it’s a really good

um thing to just bind with the poison

and then have it go right through your

body wow so you take that with lighter

fluid no how do you ingest that

you swallow it

I mean is it like a hill or a powder or

yeah it’s like capsules okay

boy that’s terrific yeah or you can chew

on your barbecue uh inside the grill

that you have in the backyard oh yeah

Perfect all right let’s see let’s go to

our next Quiz question

uh and here we go

okay what is the first sign of a vitamin

A deficiency

all right dig into that

audience let’s go to Facebook Charlie

does apple cider vinegar have an impact

with stimulant medications I’ve heard

that vitamin C will interact with

stimulant medications didn’t say what

Adderall or something I guess

not to my knowledge I’ve never heard any

problems that will stimulate medication

maybe you’re thinking of grapefruit

juice that that could um affect

medications but not apple cider vinegar

and there’s not any vitamin C in apple

cider vinegar either so you don’t have

to worry about that

well they keep streaming and Kathy from

Facebook has lost 70 pounds on fasting

thank you Dr Berg uh they’re just

pointing through what uh great success

let’s see if we can find someone that’s

not successful and talk to them let’s

see

okay here we go Sonia from YouTube could

you please make a video about addressing

carcinoid endocrine tumors I think I

said that right

honestly

um

I would just watch all my um cancer

videos and apply that information

because it would be the same the same um

procedure as well cancer whether it’s

it’s malignant or a benign

um as in a tumor

comes from the same Source where you’re

having

um damage to the mitochondria because

that’s what’s happening and so then the

mitochondria

through some ancient survival mechanism

switches over to a different way of

surviving using fermentation so it’s a

different metabolic

pathway and so the question is

what can we do to um counter that is

there some type of advantage that we can

do to overcome this well there’s a lot

of things that people do for cancer and

preventing cancer and even

treating cancer but there’s something

unique that um

is that’s different than our normal

cells so so for example if you start

doing prolonged fasting all sorts of

miraculous things happen to the cancer

cells you start killing cancer cells but

not the normal cells so your normal

cells Thrive but the cancer cells

um literally die because

you’re stimulating

um an ancient survival mechanism which

basically kind of turns off all the the

cancer genes and uh and and and turns on

all the good genes so this whole genetic

um

thing is interesting because just

because you have certain genes that are

um

programmed to cause you to be have high

cholesterol or create this or that

there’s something else that you can do

it’s called epigenetics which is above

genetics it’s something that you can

control you can control most of your

genes so fasting is one of the most

potent things you can do to influence

those genes

the genetic um

testing is something very very new for a

lot of people and it’s very very

exciting it’s a new field of getting

your genes tested and then looking at

your weak links

I am doing a massive deep dive into that

subject right now because it’s so

interesting

um because you if you can find all your

weak links and you can support them you

can prevent a lot of problems

but we didn’t have this when I was in

practice so you just have to do a blood

test and see what’s happening to the

person right now you couldn’t like

necessarily look at their blueprints to

see where their weak links are where

their strong links are there’s so many

people

including myself to have weak links even

I’ll give you one one tiny example

um there’s a genetic problem that I have

which um

has to do with the inability to convert

um

inactive like beta-carotene into Vitamin

A the reactive form of vitamin A and so

um I have a problem with that Gene so

if I’m just

um if I become a vegan and I start just

doing trying to get my vitamin A from

vegetables I’m not going to get hardly

any conversion at all so I’ll be

deficient in retinol

so um what’s the solution

just consume more retinol which I do I

do naturally egg yolks

um

raw milk cream butter cod liver oil

liver all these things are low with

vitamin A so I’m not going to have a

problem why because I consume a lot of

retinol if I didn’t know that and I went

become a vegan I probably would have a

big problem and I start having all sorts

of issues so the point is that this this

new testing is very valuable I’m going

to be doing a lot of videos on it but

I’m right in the middle of a deep dive

and I think most people will find it

fascinating but it’s it’s a bit tactical

so this is you know trying to unders

like trying to understand all these

different words I’m going to make it

really simple

that’s terrific okay audiences on it

quiz question number two asked what is

the first sign of a vitamin A deficiency

speaking to the devil and uh 82 percent

responded say the sinus changes in your

vision uh ten percent say uh

ten percent say acne and eight percent

say changes in skin color

Okay so the answer is night blindness or

or just difficulty seeing when the

lights are dimmed so it’s not just like

driving and seeing the dark it’s like

let’s say your office

um is not well lit and you spend eight

hours and you’re trying to read you know

you just read books or something like

that like I do and you you don’t have

well lighting you may

um think unique glasses but it could be

that you just need more vitamin A but

the active form which is retinol

so

um

um

Unfortunately they change the definition

of uh vitamin A to mean uh the precursor

to retinol which is beta-carotene so

they’ll say that beta-carotene is

vitamin A but it’s not it has to be

converted

and has to be converted like

um

like only three percent of it converts

so the when you’re consuming a lot of

beta carotene there’s benefits but

unfortunately you’re not going to

probably get a lot into retinol

so

um this could affect the eyes and

especially your ability to see in dim

lighting

well this begs the question do you have

a supplement or remedy for it within

your products

well um you can do the cod liver oil

or just um

consume um liver products

um or just um you can do butter but the

only things you have to get raw butter

I’m doing raw cream right now which is

basically is loaded with vitamin A but

of course when you pasteurize it you

destroy it huh so um egg yolks are a

really good source of vitamin A too

that’s terrific okay let’s see

um let’s go to another uh quiz questions

kick it off and it says the following

okay which is more vitamin A retinol

three ounces of beef liver or 40 pounds

of raw carrots

wow

you might have given this away in the

last statement well I don’t know that’s

interesting but we’ll see continue the

education

why don’t we go to the green room and

our next participant is Rose and she’s

from California Rosie wrong with Dr bird

uh you’re muted deer

hi Dr Burke

hello

hi nice to finally speak with you I

watch you I’m doing your immune course

it’s awesome and FYI everybody it’s free

it’s super good and so much information

hey so my question is I started the keto

and I lost about 35 pounds and that was

awesome because I tried everything

couldn’t do it until I finally did the

keto the only problem was that it

reacted my gallbladder reacted to it man

it started like really terrible

gallbladder pain I went and had the

ultrasound I did the test where they run

and see how your gallbladder is working

if there’s gallstones there wasn’t and

they said there was no sludge I just

have slow bile

so but whenever I consume the fat that

you need to consume on the keto I get

pain I still do I’m on your gallbladder

and that FYI everybody is amazing it

saved my life it saved my life because I

really thought I mean it’s awful

gallbladder it’s awful you really think

you’re going to die

um

but anyway so I’m doing that and that

helps it takes away the pain literally

takes away the pain but so I’m doing

that and now I got a virus and then

everything spiraled down again it just

went downhill again

um my hair started thinning I started

aging rapidly but I’m still doing the

keto and what I do like he’s told the

last person was I just back off a little

bit when I noticed that the pain and I

kind of test my body and see what’s

happening

so I back off and on I also have an

overgrowth of candida I’ve had that for

30 years I cannot get rid of it

I can’t get rid of it I wanted to ask

you a question about that on the

charcoal can I take that every day and

does it interfere with any other

vitamins like will it take away my

vitamins no can I do that

no it’ll actually help your microbiome

it’s uh you can take it every day it’s

not going to deplete you of any

nutrition it’s it’s pretty natural

um so that would help you

a day I’ve been doing three caplets of

the activated coconut is that a good one

yeah yeah that’s a good one

um okay yeah because you can get the

charcoal from coconut or um you know

other things yeah that’s totally fine I

think for the candida though um you may

need to just um

start to uh down the uh some garlic

tablets or maybe oregano and and just

try to kill it that way but

um I’m glad that your sugar is low

because that’s going to be really

important as well

um but here’s what’s interesting that

relates to your question

that um relates to me uh on one of my my

DNA test

you find all your weaknesses and and I

apparently have this one gene that um

if I don’t consume a good amount of

choline

choline is uh in bile salts it’s like a

really key nutrient to help you break

down fats

um you will have

um a kind of a chronic issue with with

the gallbladder which I have so

um so you you can um so you take the

bile salts which is awesome right you

take that and maybe you take one also an

empty stomach but then now add in there

um choline

choline and get the type of choline with

phosphorus

and you’ll see it’s like in the form of

like phospholipid or phosphocholine

something like that and uh what you’re

going to find it’s not gonna happen like

overnight

but after like three or four or five

days you’ll be like wow I can start

breaking them fast now I’m just guessing

you have a problem with this Gene I’m

not saying you are but it’s something I

do everything that you’ve said I’ve

watched you I the same exact thing

that’s what got me to start following

you okay

so so this is something that’s really

hard to detect on a even an MRI with

your biles or your functional testing it

just um

you know

the body just requires certain things

more than usual to be able to deal with

this extra fat and um so

you know rather than doing expensive DNA

test you can just take some choline very

inexpensively and see if it helps you

and then we know okay good that that was

what you needed and um

um whatever I would do two um whatever

it says on the bottle and just start

with that and then maybe increase from

there for a little bit but you don’t

have to have that much but uh two

tablets would be fine and I don’t want

to necessarily get into the dosages

because I don’t know yet but

um it’s one of those things you have to

experiment and and test the waters okay

well Rose listen we got to move along

but thank you so much for participating

and I would love it uh for you as we

always do get back with us and let us

know how your condition evolves

positively so let’s uh move on uh to the

answer for quiz question number three

and I think you learned them doc because

there’s a almost a consensus 98 of

respondents says it’s the old beef liver

which I hate two percent say it’s the

carrots

well those two percent like they must

not have been listening closely because

it’s I mean think about this three

ounces of beef liver to compare to 40

pounds of carrots I used to think that

I’m getting all this vitamin A from

carrots and Kale like the same thing

with 400 cups of raw kale it doesn’t

even compare with the liver so

um what does this mean this means that

um

it’s it’s very difficult to get

retinol from to to be um you know just

by cutting out all these meats so it

means that um our bodies Were Meant to

consume animal products

um designed to consume animal products

and if you don’t you could end up with

trouble

um the the variation of conversion is is

goes from one extreme to the other but

an average person does not consume very

much

um including myself

so um egg yolks great source butter

um even cheese that’s Raw

but the point is that in cod liver oil

is another good one but vitamin A is not

not just good for your eyes it’s good

for the immune system especially immune

system and mucous membranes skin

outside and inside very very important

um so stay tuned for more information on

vitamin A because it’s a

it’s um people don’t talk about vitamin

A lately so you want to get the full

scoop and I’m going to be doing more

videos on it okay well I can’t ignore

all this positive stuff rwg 51 is his or

her handle and had a terrible accident

that left a great amount of scar tissue

across my midsection and caused a hernia

the fasting has really helped me recover

thank you Dr Byrd

great awesome that’s terrific okay let’s

see uh

all right let’s see Christina from

YouTube I’ve been diagnosed with a

ventricular tachycardia can you please

tell me what I can do to address this

condition naturally and without going on

meds

well I would hope

you um

you really increase your electrolytes

right now like potassium

and even magnesium

and even your sodium like your salts I

would I would go up with those

electrolytes for sure and see if that

doesn’t help you because the pacemaker

is somehow wigging out I also realize

that the pacemaker is

part of the nervous system and if you

have

also problems with the myelin sheath

around those nerves there could be a

problem so

um but that that wouldn’t be a problem

if you were on keto and doing

intermittent fasting because you would

kind of support the nervous system

um but don’t forget also B vitamins

especially like B1 that’s also

intimately involved with the nerve

conduction

and if you have a B1 deficiency

one of the biggest things that you have

is nerve problems inflammation in the

nerve problems with the nerve peripheral

neuropathies autonomic nervous system

neuropathies so who knows if that’s

connected as well but the B vitamins and

electrolytes that’s what I would focus

on uh extensively and really

potassium too okay here’s a good

question romelia from YouTube is the

keto diet good for someone who’s had

gastric bypass

especially because now

um it’s gonna it’s an alteration in the

structure of your stomach and even part

of the small intestine so what happens

now is it’s going to be a positive thing

for your insulin so you’ll probably lose

weight if you’re a diabetic that could

even help that because they’re altering

a

um the part of the system that

influences insulin

but you want to make sure you get your

electrolytes

um especially and trace minerals very

importantly and

um

watch my videos on this because there’s

there’s a lot of things

um that you should be aware of even like

taking more bile salts because now that

is going to be altered so you might end

up with deficiencies which could a bile

deficiency which could end up with like

a low vitamin A D E K1 K2 so there’s a

lot of things that you have to watch out

for once you have the bypass

okay Craig on from Facebook has some

encouraging news what details can you

share on uh Coral Calcium probiotics and

coral have cured my acid reflux and

soothed my wife’s Crohn’s disease which

is awful your thoughts

I don’t have a lot of data on Coral

Calcium I do know that it’s an alkaline

substance so it’s going to obviously

help heartburn or digestive problems I

don’t know if that’s the ultimate

solution though

um you know I talk about calcium a lot

in some of my videos

um calcium is one of those minerals that

it’s a little bit more difficult to get

rid of I don’t agree with um

people taking

like just Mega calcium to think they’re

preventing bone loss because we have

more of a problem with too much calcium

than we do a Calcium deficiency

but when I do a video on too much

calcium

that doesn’t mean

all calcium is bad you need certain

amounts of calcium so you need just the

right amount so we don’t want to get low

too low we don’t want to have too much

but calcium tends to

um

that can build up in in the body in the

wrong places and but as far as the Coral

Calcium

I don’t have as much data on that it may

be okay I know they’ll say that the

okinawans uh whatever um they have they

live the longest and

well do they consume that calcium do

they consume Coral Calcium really I

don’t know if they do just just so

happens to be in the vicinity where they

are but um I wouldn’t say that that’s

the reason why they’re living long

okay Joe from Facebook if I eat only

fish

and uh excuse me that jumped and veggies

what supplements should I be taking I do

eat eggs occasionally

good I like the fact you’re doing fish

you have your omega-3 fatty acids and

what was the other thing he eats veggies

okay good I mean if you eat enough of

the of the of an of the right vegetables

which are quality okay so you get the

vitamin C the folic acid uh potassium

magnesium and then you also do fish then

you get the protein

omega-3 fatty acids it could cover

everything and plus you’ll get trace

minerals and zinc and he’s eating eggs

by the way

but then then you get all the benefits

of vitamin K2

um and choline which is actually in the

egg yolk so I think that would cover

almost everything that you might need

but

um you have to realize that the

you know the quality of the vegetables

nowadays is it might not be as high as

it should be so really depends on

where you get those vegetables and what

soil that they’re grown on

all right terrific next Quiz question

please a true falser this time

okay organic yeah true or false organic

100 apple juice from the store is high

in natural vitamin C

great these true falsers are terrific

even if you’re dumb you have a 50 chance

of getting it right so good luck

audience with that let’s uh let’s go

back to the green room and Diana from

Orlando Florida has been uh waiting

patiently for a long time let me unmute

her and Diane make sure you do the same

thing

and you were on with Dr Berg

hi Dr Burke I am so happy I’m so happy

to speak with you

um

I have a severe osteoporosis and severe

scoliosis my curves are for the

scoliosis are 71 degrees thoracic and 65

degree lumbar my issue primarily seems

to be that I suffer from severe bloat

I don’t it doesn’t matter what I eat I

just become like a ball I don’t know if

it’s sibo or dysbiosis leaky gut I do

eat gluten-free dairy free and

um my RBC magnesium levels are very good

right now they’re now at 6.0 so that’s

good I know you were just talking about

calcium and I do consume uh my calcium

from food so I keep track on an app and

I try not to go over 700 milligrams

daily

um but I’m concerned because my father

just passed away with um

from liver cancer

and colon cancer

and um

I just I just would like to know um I

don’t want to take the drugs that my

Doctor is recommending my metabolic

specialist so what would you recommend

that your mother do

um

yeah um I would there’s quite a quite a

bit to talk about but I would you know

to build bone back up

um it takes it takes time it could take

a you know five six seven years uh not

just taking calcium of course try to get

it from the food as much as you can but

you may need a um a good amount of trace

minerals because those are all the

activators you might need a good amount

of vitamin K2

um and uh you also want to do a lot to

keep your inflammation down your

systemic inflammation uh because that

can actually eat away at the bone as

well

um so

um that means a good amount of omega-3

with uh avoiding the omega-6 fatty acids

um in your situation you know this is a

perfect example of the benefit of some

type of DNA test to to look at um so

look at

genetic weaknesses that you have that

you can then do something about now

but in the meantime

um I think um following

um the healthy version of the ketogenic

diet that I talk about and then a good

amount of fasting would be good

um that would help you but the K2 trace

minerals

um

would be very beneficial for your bones

scoliosis

um you know it’s pretty much

set in a certain pattern now because of

your age but I think that you can

actively and aggressively work on

stretching and and all these minerals

and the K2 and probably some vitamin D

would greatly help your muscle muscles

and the spasm that are probably going

around and supporting the scoliosis so

you probably feel your muscles uh feel a

lot better if you did that

um but again this is all about

putting in these basic things first

right making sure that we’re doing all

the right things so then then you can

actually not have to end up where your

your father ended up because you’re

you’re actively and aggressively turning

things around and you’re controlling

um your genes with the epigenetic things

uh food diet stress

um those type of things so

I mean that’s what I would start with um

and um

yes that’s what I would do

okay so I should try to get a genetic

genetic DNA test then

find uh uh someone that um like does

functional nutrition that can evaluate

the free of someone that’s good I’m

going to be doing a lot of videos on the

near future and I’ll have some good

recommendations but I mean

I think um

if you could do that that would be uh

smart because especially anytime you

have like a complex case where you have

multiple things going on it’s it’d be

good to know where that osteoporosis is

coming from is it coming from

the absorption of calcium is it coming

from

some type of

inflammatory thing or is it coming for

something else so you can then

have more data to solve it

okay

all right I’ll start doing more research

then thank you so very much that’s great

and by the way I’m sure we speak for

everyone Diana we’re so sorry for the

loss of your father that’s a an awful

thing to uh to tolerate but we hope

again that your health continues to

improve and we’d love to hear back from

you as we do everyone uh to report some

great findings in your accelerating

health so thanks for joining the show

and we have got uh answers to our true

falser and I hope they’re true now let’s

see uh 96 of our respondents say that

it’s false and four percent are holding

out say it’s true

of course so I always have to have this

percentage holding out

um it doesn’t mean if it’s organic or

regular juice 100 juice or for

concentrate

um they they put it on the Shelf

um without being refrigerated

and there’s the Shelf I mean the the um

and it can sit down there for two years

before you know apparently goes bad or

the expiration date kicks in there two

years in the Shelf how can they actually

take apple juice

and put on the shelf for that long

um because they pasteurize it and they

pasteurize it to preserve it and vitamin

C is very sensitive to heat and light so

if you think you’re gonna retain vitamin

C chances are you’re probably not so

that’s why they have to add it in there

the type to add in there is a synthetic

version which is ascorbic acid is not

the same as natural so any vitamin C in

apple juice or orange juice has been

pasteurized is added after the fact it’s

fortified and you think wow I’m getting

this great thing I’m getting getting my

vitamin C from my juice

yeah right okay

yeah fortified does sound exciting

doesn’t it even though uh perhaps it

really does sound exciting in theory but

I don’t know if it is in reality

all right let’s see here Stephen from

Facebook I have purchased a few of your

products I wanted to know your thoughts

on benefits of taking berberine and

benphotamine and can we take them both

at the same time

you can there those are two really

interesting products one is the the

berberine is um probably equivalent to

metformin as far as uh Effectiveness for

insulin resistance boy is it good for

your blood sugars but it’s also good for

a lot of other things too

um

anti-cancer but

um the benfotamine is a um

it’s really good for neurological

problems especially if you have

peripheral neuropathy or even problems

in in your brain that requires the

penetration to the to the myelin sheath

which is a

um

you know B1 is all about the nervous

system it’s just and other things too

but

um you can use the fat soluble version

which is called benphotamine to

penetrate deeper into the nervous system

in the brain

um but B1 is um a fascinating vitamin

it’s most people are deficient in it you

require a lot of B1 especially if you do

the carbs and most people become

deficient because they’re doing too many

carbs

so B1 is not some extra little

thing but it’s a

an absolute requirement for certain

metabolic pathways so it’s

all by the way vitamins work they’re

they’re Co factors they’re they’re

helper

um things that just allow enzymes to

work

and so without them enzymes can’t work

enzymes are the magical thing that does

all the work in the body and one

nutrient like um B1 would be involved in

many many different enzymes so you can

imagine without that

your body is going to allocate that B1

only to the necessity ones not the other

ones so you’re going to always end up

with problems so once you really

understand what vitamins do it may

inspire you to eat a little bit better

Steve I’m talking to you I’m being very

sarcastic though but well no you’re not

I eat like a slob sometimes so

anyway so speaking of which where would

people you notice this important

question how do they know they’re

getting quality B1 or benphotamine or

whatever how do we research it and make

sure that we’re not getting junk

well you you research researched the

source of it

um I’m not biased of my own products and

I’m also very sarcastic but

um I my thing is I make sure that um

the Farms that some of the ingredients

come from are really really

um have very healthy soils also the

quality of products are not just coming

from some Source I know nothing about I

don’t get any of my ingredients from

China

um so I’m just I really make sure that

it’s I get the best source and I’ll be

doing more videos on going to some of

the Farms where we grow some of the raw

ingredients because um

I I would really like transparency not

just with our vitamins but with our food

I think that’s the way to the Future so

you know what you’re getting because

I’ll tell you like even eighty percent

of all the tomatoes in the United States

come from Florida and they come they

start out green and they spray it with a

certain gas to um

to ripen it I I don’t like that in fact

it affects the flavor and so um

if you’re paying for food I’d like to

pay for uh nutrient dense foods

versus just well by The Weight by the

how heavy something is yeah it’s so it’s

so frustrating because the tomatoes look

fabulous and sometimes they have a

little Vine left on it and then you cut

into it it tastes like wall board it’s

just no not reminiscent of a no

wonderful tomato no nutrients no taste

yeah terrible okay let’s the final

participant in our Green Room is Evelyn

and she’s coming in from Southern

California and Evelyn remember to unmute

yourself and you’re on with Dr bird

hi there how you doing

I’m really excited to talk to you right

and you always said to look at

huh

can you hear me yeah go ahead yeah with

your question Evelyn and you always have

um to go back and look at the history of

something that happened to you and to

give you a 30-second thing it was 2015

my mom passed away 2016 my brother

passed away then I had to go through

attorneys to get my inheritance then in

um 20

20 my sister passed away so then I had

to go through probate and I had to go

through all these stuff and this

happened like back in March of 2019 I

came down really sick with it cold and

cough so I went to emergencies and they

said well your blood pressure is too

high so you you know we can’t give you

anything so I went to the doctors they

put me on high blood pressure medicine

which I really never had but high blood

pressure medicine my whole life

and then what happened was that you know

they said okay we want to look at your

kidneys and then I went up in Canada to

look at have them look at my kidneys and

the doctor says my kidneys are fine

and so you know I just you know I’ve

been on the ketogenic intermittent

fasting for past year or so and I’ve

been doing everything right I take all

your products I exercise you know I

don’t and I’m very strict on everything

and you know but the doctors are saying

they don’t want to listen to me they say

well you have to eat right

but what else can I do and I do eat

right and I just wonder what else can I

do and I have this little argument with

the doctors because they don’t really

care

they don’t really look at the streps

I’ve been through

okay what do you think doc

so this is a couple things that we do

I’m glad that you’re doing um keto I’m

glad you’re doing fasting keep that in

of course you you had the worst stress

um that

your body can experience I mean the

losses are the biggest thing that

creates the parallel paralyzed immune

system so

um you know the best thing to do is to

to counter that is to

um somehow extract your attention and um

every day work on going for long walks

getting space getting your attention on

something else because you know you

don’t want to be kind of thinking about

that as much as possible and then the

other thing too is ashwagandha tea more

B vitamins are going to be important

um especially B1

lemon balm tea all these are really good

so I think they’re on the right track

but you just need a little assistance

with this stress

um what happens with the B vitamins

especially B1 is it will

it doesn’t lower stress but it just

increases the body’s resistance to

stress it increases the tolerance so you

can cope with things better

that’s what we want to get you to a

place where you can

be more comfortable and it doesn’t

overwhelm you

um so those are some things that you’re

that I would do and then also be on the

ketogenic diet automatically increases

your tolerance and stress so it’s very

beneficial to your adrenals being on the

ketogenic diet and doing prolonged

fasting so things that strengthen

those factors would be fasting Keto

taking the stress up by doing things

maybe even like physical work around

external like outside somewhere being in

nature all those things um especially if

you’re in California you should do that

you’re going to have to really work on

that

um

because

you know that’s the worst you you just

experienced not just stress but multiple

stresses in a row just Bam Bam Bam so

I’m very sorry to hear that

um unfortunately

everyone has to go through that you know

and there’s some we have people around

us that are not going to last forever so

um yeah it’s definitely something to

cope as well as you can well best wishes

to you Evelyn we appreciate that we’re

going to move along now to get to our

final quiz question of the day and Doc

here it is

okay so which vitamin deficiency is

involved in bruising that’s not related

to trauma or injury

okay and by the way we had I don’t think

I put it up but I should have I forget

her name but she said suddenly uh this

woman from social media has got uh

extreme bruising all over her body and

she seems to even touch herself it turns

into a bruise and that’s been going on

with her for I don’t know two to three

weeks is that somehow uh part and parcel

to this question Maybe

well I think it might be which is very

uh much of a coincidence right that uh

she just asked a question and we

happened to ask another question that

relates to this so I think when

when we talk about the answer she will

have her answer good so stay tuned ma’am

and I forgive me for uh missing your

name but you know who you are and we’re

going to have some news for you up

shortly let’s go back to social media in

fact this is going to be a social media

uh Extravaganza that’s all we have left

to do for the rest of the show and

that’s by Design I want to make sure we

can answer as many questions as we can

uh let’s see

oh here we go and this is kind of

familiar sometimes Gene from YouTube uh

hi from Dallas I have lost 15 pounds on

keto and fasting in five months but I’ve

also lost a lot of hair over that period

what can I do to stop the hair loss

I don’t know what type of version of

Keto you’re doing hopefully it’s the

type that I would recommend where you’re

also making sure that you’re doing

nutrient dense foods if you do Keto and

you lose your hair

um then you’re you’re there’s some

either trace minerals that you need more

of like zinc it could be iron

the type of foods that you’re eating

need to be maybe try more Seafood to get

those trace minerals but let’s say

you’re doing the fasting too the fasting

the reason the fasting could produce the

hair loss if you do prolonged fasting is

that you’re already going into it are

deficient with nutrients and then the

fasting exaggerates the nutrient

deficiencies so that’s why you want to

take certain nutrients while you’re

fasting like the B vitamins like

electrolytes and the trace minerals very

very important

um

so that’s what I would do

um for your hair loss I have quite a few

videos on the topic but

um those that’s the basics that’s

terrific and bunch again I have to throw

this in every once in a while you’ll see

that uh well I think it’s evident that

Dr Berg does not have a toupee that’s

all rich flowing here and his beautiful

wife Karen has a lion’s mane of hair and

they’re both keto folks so it’s not a

prerequisite to have your hair fall out

um so and they’re they’re evidence of

that so make sure you’re following the

clean keto diet and by the way it was

Allison from YouTube who had the

question about uh bruising she’s 50

years old so stay tuned Allison we’re

going to have an answer up for you very

soon and drumroll please the final quiz

question which vitamin deficiency is

involved in bruising not trauma related

are you ready Allison uh at least your

cohorts 60 of them say it’s caused by

low vitamin K 20 percent say it’s low

vitamin A and 20 cent excuse me 20

percent say it’s low Vitamin C Dot

the answer is it’s a deficiency of

vitamin K1

now K1

is interesting because um that actually

helps you with your clotting factors

but also

if you’re not consuming enough greens

um your microbes can make them but if

your microbes you don’t have enough

microbes then you might be deficient so

the body is going to allocate

um

this K1 to the most important factors

and so K1 is also involved in um

anti-inflammatory functions as well as

making K2 it can convert the K2 if you

have the right microbes so so it’s kind

of like this uh triage effect where

if you don’t have enough the body will

say okay I’ll use it for this but I’m

not going to use it for that as a

survival mechanism and so um you know

that’s why it’s important understanding

all the different functions of K1 but K1

can be easily done if you actually

consume enough greens so you have this

big salad I definitely don’t have a

deficiency because I consume a lot of

salad some people don’t an average

person consumes 1.5 cups of vegetables

per day and of course that could be also

including potatoes or corn which they

consider a vegetable which that’s

ridiculous so I think that K1 is um

your microbes can make it and also it

comes from dark leafy green vegetables

parsley

massive knots of K1 brussels sprouts

kale Swiss chard all the grains that’s

how you get your K1 so

um let’s say you don’t have a

gallbladder or let’s say you have a bile

deficiency for some reason or you have

malabsorption that could be why you’re

not absorbing K1 too

um so there’s a lot of different reasons

why you might be deficient but which is

cool about K1 is they can also help you

if you just get more of it with varicose

veins with bleeding nose with

inflammation with having more K2 to have

stronger bones so

K1 is um

very very um

interesting and I did create a video on

this so stay tuned stay tuned for the

release of that shortly

well doc I tell you what let’s let’s end

on a high note

um Jamie from Facebook your videos on B1

changed my life it has helped with my

panic attacks thank you so much and then

another thank you after that

well if you don’t have if you have panic

attacks

it’s it’s honestly if you really know

about B1

it’s going to just pull you right out of

it it’s going to help a panic Tech is

like a high level fear situation right

it’s uh

you know you you’re just like freaking

out and that the nervous system and I’m

talking about the central nervous system

is affected and if you take some B1 boy

it’ll just make you feel so much better

give you a sense of relief

um

so it also is good for anxiety which is

slightly different anxiety is not panic

it’s more like um worrying it’s like you

got problems that but you don’t have

Solutions so you’re constantly thinking

about these problems especially for a

bed which doesn’t help things but B1 can

help that too it helps the it doesn’t

get rid of your problems it just allows

you to tolerate your problems and cope

with them better

yes you have the same amount of problems

but you’re it’s not affecting you as

much yeah I wish the problems went away

then we wouldn’t have to do anything for

goodness sakes but here they are Steve I

think a few problems you’d be probably

so miserable if you had no problems what

what there’s no it’s kind of like um

there’s no more barriers to life so what

would you do

sit on the beach drink Margaritas well

maybe no you make a great Point Taco why

don’t you take us out of here we are now

out of time

okay so uh thanks for your attention

um and um stay tuned for some um some

very new uh content that you probably

have never seen before you or even even

talked about I’ll be creating releasing

new videos and then next Friday we’ll do

the same show thank you for your

attention and your wonderful comments

and have a wonderful weekend
