let me know if you guys can hear me

um

i’ll give it just a second to kick in

here

can you hear me

let’s see if i can see this right here

i don’t really see anything happening

i’m going to have to refresh

all right okay it does work

it does work um so i just want to

see you can’t hear but see chat

oh wow okay how about now can you see

and hear me

okay good awesome welcome guys um less

than anything that i say is not meant to

diagnose you or

substitute for your medical care check

with your doctor before

taking any of the recommendations that i

give you um

so we have a lot of callers and i have a

lot of questions if you want to

text me at 1-800-816-8184 i can actually

also read your text right here

now the question is why am i not at my

studio right now

and that’s simply because

we have um steve our producer came down

with the coronavirus

and he’s doing much better so he’ll be

here next week but um

have some really interesting information

to share with you on that

so we’ll um discuss that

shortly and you kind of need a producer

if you’re actually having that done

all right so we have people from

pakistan

all over the place that is awesome so

the first question

from starving emma my mother is always

sleepy after a meal she does two meals

with fats

and takes mct oil and all the

supplements to

daily if she eats sour cream after each

meal she doesn’t

get that sleepy anymore well this is

totally uh

an insulin resistance problem and so

you’re going to find that the more

that she improves insulin resistance the

less sleepy she’s going to be

what’s happening the cells can’t pull in

the nutrients

one thing and also the insulin

resistance affects the amount of

fuel that goes to the brain so

i would beef up no pun intended the fats

and i think that the energy will get

better and i

also support digestion by taking more

apple cider vinegar

that’s what i would do all right

how much vitamin c to take a daily if

i’m not sick i would take like

one to 200 milligrams that would be

enough

make sure it’s food based dough

okay what what’s more effective keto

or if well if you compare them both

intermittent fasting is is more powerful

but the combination is important too

because if you don’t do keto and you do

f if what happens is that you

you cut off your ability to get in in a

minute of fasting so

like if you ate something carbo type

foods

uh it could knock you out of you know

keto and fasting it knocks you out for a

period of

could be 24 to 48 hours if not longer

so if you’re doing that every so every

third day

you never really get the full benefits

that you need so

combination is really really important

because one will affect the other one

like if you for example had some sweet

food

and then and you’re doing keto

you’re gonna find the next day you’re

gonna be craving sweets

just because you’re not full you’re kind

of got bumped out

okay jesse had a question where can i

learn more about immunosuppressive drugs

getting off them i don’t know i don’t

have

i don’t have an answer for that but i

will tell you

there are several things that are

natural

that act as an immune suppressant okay

and i’m talking about something that

modulates

or helps regulates and calms down an

overactive

immune system and i think what jesse is

talking about is he’s

he wants to avoid a hyper reaction when

the immune system gets

over enthusiastic what it does is it

starts creating collateral damage

and it’s called a cytokine storm or

cytokines in general most of them are

are pro-inflammatory so they create

inflammation

and they’re basically messages

messengers and one would be

interferon um and

when you actually have some infection

and you feel like you have the flu

headache muscle achy that means that

interferon

that cytokine is trying to kill off a

virus

so that bad flu-like feeling that you

have is not a bad thing it’s a good

thing it’s like your body’s trying

it’s actually working and so you might

think oh this is terrible i need to

take um some type of um not aspirin but

you know

ibuprofen or something to counter that

but you don’t necessarily want to jump

into that you let your body

go through this process because you’re

going to fight the infection off the

same thing with a fever

you want to let your body have a fever

for a period of time and not quickly try

to suppress it

so um so that’s important and so the

most

powerful um like immune suppressor would

be vitamin d

it’s it actually can lower cytokines

it can lower the cytokine storm and also

zinc both of them are

are kind of anti-inflammatory so

if you have more of those maybe your

doctor can actually

work with you on lessening the

medication

okay is sodium ascorbate with zinc is it

harmful the person elevated creatine

um no that’s totally fine i wouldn’t

worry about it at all

okay so let me take a question from the

1 800 number

okay so here’s a question i need help

healing from a serious celiac

reaction and gastroparesis only eating

plant-based what what do you advise

okay celiac is a reaction that occurs

with

gluten your body considers gluten a

poison

i’m guessing that you avoid all gluten

right and

anything that resembles gluten and i’m

not even recommending consuming

gluten-free products just to avoid all

grains

period gastroparesis is a condition

where your digestion is slower it’s not

going through

fast enough so i think the best thing to

do is to acidify the stomach with

apple cider vinegar and betaine

hydrochloride with each meal i think a

really good probiotic is going to be

essential just be careful about taking

too much because you can

overwhelm the system and

the other thing is that if you you may

find that if you do

carnivore um like cut down the fiber

you may find that your system does a lot

better you may want to test that out and

do it for a couple months because

a lot of times the fibers can act

to irritate your colon especially if

you’ve got damage

so i would experiment on that

great questions guys okay

all right next question can probiotics

be taken

without dr prescription absolutely you

can get them at the health food store

not a problem and you’d be surprised how

many doctors don’t even know

much about probiotics so it’s kind of

like asking

someone for marriage counseling and they

never been married okay bruce has a

question

how long should we do intermittent

fasting

on my fourth day doing um

231 to 2 i think you meant 23 and

one okay all right 23 hours 23 and a

half hours okay i got it

with only a 30 minute window to eat

that’s that’s awesome that’s awesome

bruce this is what i would do go by how

how hungry you are

if you’re not hungry ride the wave and

see how long you can go because some

people

they’re burning their fat they’re doing

fine they’re taking their nutrients

and then all of a sudden i mean why stop

that i think that

it’s working so ride the wave and see

how long you can go

you might just feel better to go longer

with your fasting

the main thing is getting your nutrients

you can do that very easily just by

taking supplements

but your body is eating when you’re

fasting you’re just eating your own

fat all right my brother and sister have

a problem with

a condition which

describes the inability to

get rid of iron iron overload okay

hemochromatosis

do you know what could help with their

diet their

dangerous levels of iron yes

i did a video on this you should watch

that of course you want to

make sure that you do not have

any iron in any like supplements

i would cut down on red meats right now

i would

cut down on supplements that have iron

for sure

you’re going to have to eat a low iron

you know low

iron food diet and also you probably

want to do a key later

it’s called edt8 edta

no it’s actually let me just write this

down what is it e d t a yeah

edta it’s a chelater and you can take

that

and that has been known to reduce iron

there’s something

else you can take it’s called ip6 it’s a

it’s actually phytic acid and it will

bind with iron as well

so because iron is very very dangerous

to the different tissues

especially your liver hello i’m here

from colombia i get too skinny when i do

keto and fasting

but i can’t eat carbs because i start to

get a a rush in my fingers or a rash

probably in your fingers and throw

starts to hurt

yeah you’re going to have to do increase

the level of carbs to maybe 50 grams

doing

berries and then what you have to do is

eat more

food okay more quantity of food

and also mct oil

and more fat and that way your body

won’t

lose too much weight

all right so i’m worried about

quarantine is weakening my immune system

wow

you know that’s a really really good

point and unfortunately

hopefully you can go in your backyard

and get some sun that’s the best thing

you can do

but um guys so if you’re listening to me

right now

the most important thing to do right now

is to support your

immune system they’re not talking about

this

they’re not this is like really really

important zinc

vitamin c and vitamin d are vital

um because your your body potentially

could be strong enough

to resist any infection there’s a quite

there’s some new reports that show that

quite a few more estimated people

um were infected then were reported

and they basically have barely any

symptoms why because your immune system

can fight it off um because as soon as

you get an infection

it’s you have to fight your way out of

it it’s difficult and if you have a

weakness in your immune system

and they even give you medications and

things that um

can like prednisone for example will

actually weaken your immune system now

you can’t

fight it’s really the immune system is

like the key

that is missing in this pandemic right

now

so support your immune system

um let’s see here okay good

i’ve been doing keto for four months and

intermittent fasting like one and a half

having two meals a day and lots of

veggies but my skin is very dry

you need more omega-3 fatty acids

so that’s what you need

oh gosh

ivormectin for treating yeah covet 19. i

think

the best thing to do is watch my video

on that i just did one and you can check

that out

uh there’s some a lot of great uh

positive things about that

all right so let’s see here

i have amazing questions a lot of them i

wish i could answer all of them there’s

just so many

um let’s see here here we go

there we go got one do you think zinc

and

vitamin b could cure the coronavirus no

i don’t think that i think it’s your

immune system that does all the

curing what zinc does is it supports the

immune system at different levels

and at many different levels like both

sides of the immune system

and it

i’m telling you it’s like that zinc is

probably

the most important um nutrient when

coming to the immune system and then

vitamin d

but um it’ll actually kind of help

bulletproof you against

any type of invading microbe

best remedy for breastfeeding

milk uh that would be brewer’s yeast

okay that helps fortify

um i’ve noticed that for the past 12

weeks that i’m getting itchy rash all

over different parts of my body

like red welts uh disappear and appear

been on keto for over a year what’s

what’s happening um

i think what’s happening you need

support on your gallbladder

um that’s what i would look at it’s it’s

uh there’s something

congested in the gallbladder make sure

you do intermittent fasting a little

longer

okay

what do you suggest for a woman who had

who has heavy period every month and

therefore constant anemia

red meat red meat red meat that’s what i

would recommend

you need more um iron for sure

[Music]

please how many milligrams of zinc daily

intake would be recommended as a

supplement

i mean as a preventative measure i would

recommend um

you know it could range between like 25

milligrams

and 75 milligrams so depending on how

the other factors like do you have

pre-existing digestive problems

do you feel like your immune system is

weak then take higher amounts

maybe even up to um 100

100 milligrams but then if you have an

infection i recommend taking like 225

milligrams

so i would say like 50 milligrams would

be fine

uh could you talk more about cod liver

oil and what it does for you yeah

the unique thing victoria about cod

liver oil is it has

four key nutrients instead of

two as in fish oils so cod liver oil

has not just the omega-3 fatty acids as

in

dha and epa which are really good for

the retina

the immune system and the brain and the

heart but it also has a good amount of

vitamin a

and vitamin d that’s why cholera oil is

better than fish oil

and i am working on getting a

capsule form primarily because

collard oil goes rancid a

pretty you know not terribly quickly but

it can

and so there’s a way that that freeze

dries it under a lower temperature so

it’s not destroyed

so you can retain it longer and take it

in a capsule form

all right what are the best foods and

supplements to get energy

of course the mitochondrial energy that

i have is the best supplement for that

but you need b vitamins for energy

potassium

is also very important electrolyte

powder that would help but as far as the

foods go

the foods that produce energy are foods

that generate

ketones you get more energy from ketones

than anything else

than glucose other types of fuel so how

do you get into keto you lower your

carbs and you do intermittent fasting

and you let your body adapt

mct oil will give you additional ketones

and it’s good

if you want to go longer between the

meals and it’s also good for exercise

endurance and performance so you can get

some mct

oil as well but you want to get a

healthy keto

all right let’s see we got here

i think i just already answered that

question is it true that red hot chili

pepper

powder is consumed in a glass water can

treat

heart clots please answer well

i don’t know if it can treat hard clots

i do know that it’s

low dose vitamin c i know it’s a

powerful antioxidant

but what causes heart clots usually is

high levels of insulin

so you’d want to go on keto low carb

and vitamin e is also very very

essential as well

okay that’s what is the best medication

or food for hyperthyroidism

90 of all cases of hyperthyroidism are

hashimoto’s that’s an autoimmune

condition okay it’s an autoimmune

condition

in which case you would want to support

your

gut so you need a probiotic and you need

like good fiber and that would be very

important

the mineral selenium and the mineral

zinc

both are equally as important in that in

the thyroids

but also if if you’re um

if your gallbladder is not working that

well or you have a fatty liver

that could be the reason why

you have a thyroid problem because you

have to convert to the liver so

it’s very important to support the liver

if you have a thyroid issue

okay laura said hi dr burger i do keto

and

in my meal i allow myself to eat a small

portion of

pastry cake is this good

or should i delete it all right

laura listen

no no no no no it’s not gonna you

actually

will not get the benefit of keto if you

do that because all it takes is a small

portion of pastry

to completely knock you out of keto

so you’re not going to get into keto

it’ll mess things up

what you can make is you can make a keto

friendly pastry and that’s what i would

recommend

it’s totally fine

all right ivan do you suggest

long-term fasting i’ve gone up to five

days on water and black coffee if so how

often should i practice it i would do

that once a month i think that would be

really really great and the other thing

is you want to make sure you’re taking

nutrients

to make sure you’re not deficient in

anything okay

okay i’m going to take a question from

the text this is from christine miller

keto and if is great for me but

how do i keep my milk up and

healthiest for the baby okay you

mentioned

brewer’s yeast that will make my

breastfeeding possible

on the iaf and keto if you if you get on

keto

and you take nutritional yeast or bruise

yeast your your milk will be fortified a

lot

more there’s some other things that i

think will make your breast milk

like super super um nutrient dense and

that would be

fish eggs or caviar um you can also do

fish oils cod of oil

very very important trace minerals all

these things are really important

including zinc as well

okay because that supports the hormones

that help you make

um breast milk what are some

recommendations

yeah okay good so i answer that question

good questions guys all right

oh gosh i i you i just missed these

great questions here

all right let’s see here okay

my wife gets choking due to thyroid any

suggestions

there is a um interesting technique that

uses acupressure and

if you look at my stress webinar i show

how to do acupressure to the back of the

neck on the lower part

you should just try that it just helps

to increase circulation in the neck

and i’m not saying it’s going to do

anything to the thyroid but you’re going

to find that

the obstruction the sensation of choking

probably will be relieved so i would

check that out

can i ekg tell you if you have a calcium

in your arteries

no all it can do is it tells you if you

have

a rhythm problem rhythmic problem with

your heart which is electrolyte problem

why apples cause puffiness in your eyes

because they’re 19 grams of sugar it’s

like eating a candy bar

what is the best vitamin for pregnant

women currently at seven months

and are there specific foods you’re

recommending

um yeah you definitely need to do keto

exactly by the book

this is the most important time to eat

healthy is when you’re pregnant

you have the chance of providing this

future

child this future being with

an incredible first first start for

their immune system

for their future resistance against

health conditions now is the time to do

the trace minerals

iodine zinc selenium b vitamins

omega-3 fatty acids because if you’re

deficient

that child is going to have issues

weaknesses

it’s the most important thing

okay bulletproof immunity c

d um codive oil

zinc apple cider vinegar you are correct

okay can large amounts of xylitol affect

ketosis

a little bit because it’s not it’s not

perfect it’s not like zero on the

glycemic index

it’s about 30. so it does affect the

blood sugars a little bit

that’s why you want to keep it you know

small amounts

i just want to thank you because of you

my

son is healthy today he started keto

diet three years ago and had all kinds

of health issues and overweight

not anymore that is awesome maria

vasquez if you could uh

send us pictures before and after that

would be wonderful

and send it to dr berg at drbird.com i’d

love

to see those

okay another question is how to make

homemade electrolytes at home

well you can actually just buy the

minerals individually

as powders mix them together and then

sweeten with stevia

and then you’re good to go

just make sure that the electrolytes

are not from china um

there are many different electrolyte

powders

out there that are uh cheap they’re

copycat products

that are actually cheaper and that’s

because they get them from china

and they’re gmo and so

you want to ask the company for

verification that they’re non-gmo and

not from china you’d be surprised

you’re not going to get an answer for

them so um

because ninety percent of a lot of these

synthetic vitamins come from

china and for and it’s hard to tell

what’s going to be

legit or not all right

does it is it real that covet 19

sometimes kills people suddenly without

any warning

like those people that i’ve seen in the

media dying in this church

no no it doesn’t just kill you instantly

it’s it’s it’s 99.2

of the problem is is people who have

pre-existing health

problems um it’s really the people with

weak immune system

that’s the that’s where you’re gonna

have a problem

and um some interesting data on the

stats uh i don’t know if you knew this

but there’s more people

who died last year and the year before

then this year around this time

yeah interesting so they’re definitely

hyper focusing on every death right now

but

i think when they look up the stats um

it’s not going to be exactly what

they’re saying

all right um so there’s like a lot of

people that are trying to put you in

fear right now

um and i don’t want to get too deep into

it but i will say that

it’s very important not to go into the

fear mode because

fear lowers your immune system

this is why it’s very dangerous to watch

the news

24 7. okay angelique

angelica what would have gone wrong

during my pregnancy with my daughter was

diagnosed with vitiligo at

age eight nine with no history of either

side

that’s usually an autoimmune that

needs to be supported with

good probiotics i wouldn’t even say that

she couldn’t improve some of that by

taking zinc and supporting a healthy

immune system

and supporting the adrenal but it could

have been a weakness within the adrenal

glands

or in the digestive system

okay one more question

um can i call your office set up an

in-house person

consultation no i don’t do

consultations anymore unfortunately

ellen what i’m trying to do

is do videos so you can learn how to do

this yourself because if i

do consultations i can only do so many

in a day

and i can only reach an effect and i

won’t have time to do like the

do-it-yourself version i really want

people

to learn how to get themselves healthy

without

the need for as much

um you know medical

advice because if you can actually learn

how to support your body healthily

and that way you depend on your own

knowledge you’re going to be better off

versus depending on someone else’s

knowledge so that’s why i don’t do that

but i do these so i’ll be doing more of

them

and we’ll be doing more videos thank you

for all these questions because now

i have so many ideas for videos and i

think i will never run out

thank you have a wonderful friday

and i’m going to leave you with this

minimize your exposure to

probably the most damaging thing for the

immune system which is

watching the news um i’m telling you

they’re

it’s so um hyper targeted

to keeping people in fear right now it’s

ridiculous some of the comments they’re

making and they could say anything they

want

and then you have like the truth is at

the bottom

but they have all this speculation at

the top

you don’t need that right now you just

need the facts that’s all

so with that i will see you

very soon
