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
