thank you

welcome back everyone we’re here with

another q a we’re going to talk about

everything keto and you guys might have

some additional questions anything that

I say is definitely not meant to replace

your medical care check with your doctor

before implementing any of the things

we’re going to talk about we have some

great uh people in The Green Room as

well as people on social media so bring

your questions and let’s get started

okay very good we do have a great one

and also this is a milestone for us we

have in Dr Berg show history the longest

single question in terms of word count

of any other one so that’s very exciting

news for all of you we’ll get to that

shortly but why don’t we jump all we

love everyone Green Room participants of

course Dr Berg and also social media so

why don’t we kick it off with some

social media questions to begin with and

let’s start with Ravi from YouTube

please discuss the best ways to

naturally cleanse the liver I’ve heard a

regimen of olive oil Epsom salts and

citrus juice is very effective any

comments on that doc

yeah just one thing you need to know

about the liver it’s not a storage of

toxins it doesn’t store toxins

uh the fat maybe in the liver might

store toxins but not the liver itself

it’s a detoxifying machine so it goes

through this whole biochemical

enzyme pathway

two different phases so actually three

different phases to be able to turn

poisons into harmless particles

so how can you

increase that well you want to

strengthen the liver

um cruciferous vegetables also can help

stimulate your own genes to actually

detoxify and there’s also things in

those cruciferous that can help

dismantle poisons as well so you have

the cruciferous vegetables now as far as

lemons yes lemon is definitely a great

thing to help that process you also have

um

olive oil can help that process as well

it supports the liver but you have many

of the different herbs like milk thistle

stinging nettle root anything bitter

dandelion greens

arugula

any of these bitter vegetables are

really good to help

increase the ability for that liver to

detoxify and get rid of poisons

very good okay good luck with that sir

Steve from YouTube I’ve lost 65 excuse

me 62 pounds on healthy keto and

intermittent fasting

had to ring that and uh let’s see he

says but he’s got crepe skin c-r-e-p-e

Terry is that right does that make sense

crep skin

uh and wants to know on his arms and so

on and wants to know how to get rid of

it

a couple things related to that you may

want to make sure that you have

electrolytes to hold the fluid in your

tissue so your your tissues are not

too um dehydrated also you want to make

sure you have enough of the right fats

not just the saturated fats that come

with the keto diet but also the omega-3

fatty acids that might be helpful as

well and then you may want to just raise

your carb level up to but not more than

50 grams because the carbs tend to

increase water retention okay a little

bit more this is why I like bodybuilders

might go into competition and carbo load

which I don’t recommend you do but just

we’re talking just raise the carbs up a

little bit you just the car below tends

to it doesn’t increase muscle it

basically increases the fullness

around your body so you so you hold more

fluid and that might just handle it

right there interesting now I can

visualize the crep skin sort of rippled

or something like that uh well good luck

with that Stephen congratulations again

on a tremendous weight loss that’s

healthy the other is just a uh an

annoyance I’m sure Jane from Zambia on

YouTube I am on I am on peripheral not

neuropathy supplements but we couldn’t

get that out that have 18 milligrams of

calcium citrate can I increase my intake

to support bone growth

well peripheral neuropathy is the um if

you’re having supplements for that

then you want to take more calcium for

bones two different problems

uh to build bone you really want it’s

not just about calcium I would recommend

having the full Ray of trace minerals to

build bone make sure you have enough uh

of the amino acids high quality amino

acids from animal Meats specifically red

meat and then also you definitely need

calcium for sure but also the vitamins

that help the calcium go into the bones

like vitamin K2

and so where do you get that that’s from

sauerkraut uh cheese which then you can

also get the calcium as well uh fatty

liver things like that that’ll give you

the K2 and of course don’t forget

vitamin D so you can get that from the

Sun a cod liver oil or a supplement

those are the things that I would focus

on if you want to strengthen the bone of

course the peripheral neuropathy that

would be a combination of

benphotamine and alpha lipoic acid

all right now I just don’t know of many

other shows that have the worldwide

support and viewership that the Dr Burke

show has and once again here’s today’s

evidence of that a good morning to all

of our viewers joining us today from the

UK Canada by the way we’ve got a couple

of folks in The Green Room from Canada

Mexico Zambia uh Jordan Switzerland the

Czech Republic Chile South Africa India

Japan Colombia the Netherlands Pakistani

United Arab Emirates Egypt Belgium Nepal

Brunei the Philippines Sweden Australia

France Taiwan Brazil the Virgin Islands

Indonesia the Ukraine excuse me the

Ukraine Ukraine New Zealand Peru Nigeria

Bangladesh Poland Ireland Bermuda Oman

Trinidad and Tobago Norway Austria Greek

Greece Dubai Martis

Uganda Spain Albania aratria Israel

Croatia Kurdistan Bulgaria turkey

Finland cashmere Iran and Qatar Armenia

Bahrain Yugoslavia Hong Kong

Moldavia Tanzania Russia Portugal

Scotland Thailand and of course all

across these United States of America

and I’m always really nervous to read

that because our producer Terry is uh

you know broadcast you know degreed in

English major and he’s a real grammarian

and he always catches me on

mispronouncing something so I’m just in

an absolute sweat and panic each week as

I read that for fear that I have somehow

butchered the English language or

foreign pronunciations of country so

Terry I’m doing the best I can Trish

from Facebook is mushroom coffee a good

alternative for a regular coffee

I think it is I think it is I

kind of wish I never started drinking

coffee but now I’m addicted so

um but yeah mushrooms uh there’s some

fascinating benefits with these

different mushroom Beverages and

supplements from anti-aging to

anti-cancer to

incredible cognitive function as well so

I would I would definitely go that route

if if you’re not addicted like myself

okay very good and speaking of our

grammarian uh Terry sent me a message

that that crepe is pronounced crepe so

it’s crepe skin thank you for that Terry

that public humiliation Alberto from

YouTube

If the uh absorbic acid a form of

vitamin C is not good for us how do we

get the best forms of vitamin C without

using fresh fruits and fresh fruit

juices

you can get them from fresh vegetables

like the bell pepper bell peppers are

have loaded and also you’re going to

give vitamin C and all the vegetables

and onions uh salad as well as lemons

juice the whole lemon and then you can

also get it from sauerkraut

that would be a good source and berries

are some berries are acceptable on the

ketogenic diet

okay very good here is the first quiz

question of the day Dr Burke

okay

all right question which part of the

lemon contains most of the nutrition

I’m scared of what you’re going to say

but there it is Doc which is or audience

excuse me which is the most nutritious

part the delicious inner part or

something else maybe who knows okay

let’s go back once again to social media

uh Matt from YouTube what is the best

way to remove toxic metals from our skin

cells so that our immune system can

properly do its job

so he’s filled with traffic

the first thing to do is to find out the

source where it’s coming from and avoid

that and the second thing is cilantro

happens to be a good

um remedy for toxic Metals as well as um

um

drinking distilled water that will help

help as well

um but then you can put the minerals

that you want back into the body but I

did a complete video on it uh heavy

metals is a problem for sure

um and so there’s many different hidden

sources and uh it can really mess you up

and unfortunately like

because of the food supply

um

it grows in things that have runoffs

from different

chemical companies you know we’re

exposed to these these toxic

um pollutants and not just heavy metals

but all sorts of plastics and things

like that so

um

there’s other things you can use too

like um

let’s see what’s the other one um

can’t recall but there’s there’s many

different remedies but I think those two

would be a good good start all right

very good uh uh Felipe from Facebook

besides Physical Therapy what would you

recommend to alleviate the horrible I

put that in symptoms of sciatica

well you can try Chiropractic

um but um

I have a lot of videos on sciatica I

think

um the sciatic nerve is composed of uh

more than one nerves and it branches

from your lower lumbar to the lower

sacrum and it comes out through a little

um it bundles into one nerve which is

the largest nerve of the body and it

comes right up through your butt and up

through a little Notch that goes down

the back of the leg so um usually what

happens is some type of

pinching in the lumbar area could be

part of a protruded disc or some scar

tissue in that area so

um what you can do is you can keep that

curve arched inward so you want to take

a lumbar support or some type of cushion

or foam roller land your lower back to

keep that curve in there because when

you lose the curve you start putting

undue pressure on that lower back

there’s also

certain vitamin deficiency things that

can be related to that as well I do I do

videos on that but I think the most

important thing is to keep that curve in

there and you don’t want to necessarily

stretch

your hamstring on the same side you have

that pain you want to stretch in the

opposite way so if you just stretch your

your thigh muscle that would that would

give you probably more relief but I will

say that long

term sitting or driving just can really

aggravate that sciatic nerve all right

well good luck with that we hope uh

that you can get over that Felipe it’s

an awful thing I’ve suffered from that

but we have not suffered from an

unresponsive audience because they

already have the answer to quiz question

number one which asks which part of the

lemon contains the most nutritious part

and 98 of the respondents say it’s the

skin of the Rhine of the lemon yuck and

two percent say it’s the seeds no one

voted for the gushy part

they’re correct so if you’re going to

eat a lemon just eat the rind and the

seeds and throw the rest away well

there’s there’s some vitamin C in the

pith or not yeah the pith I think it’s

called the meat of that lemon so um

yeah there’s vitamin c in there but and

it’s kind of a trick question because I

didn’t tell you what nutrients so mainly

um the flavonoids flavonoids are a

general term of over

I think six to eight thousand to even

more different molecules so there’s

quite a few and that’s what uh lemons

are known for especially the little

white part underneath the Rhine so this

is this is why the best way to Consumer

lemon is to blend it

um

versus just juicing it in the water but

you can still do that you’re going to

get some nutrition but you’re going to

get probably 10 times more if you uh

blend the whole lemon and I put a little

trace minerals or I might put a couple

drops of stevia or a little couple

blueberries drink that drink down it’s

really good if you if you ever

drink uh lemonade sweet lemonade

um

you have to try try this blending a

lemon and putting a couple drops maybe

10 drops of Stevia in there I swear you

this is like the the totally acceptable

version of lemonade that you can have

and I think you’d really enjoy it and if

you don’t want to blend it just take the

juice from it and add that Stevia and

it’s a great alternative to the

sweetened lemonade that so many people

consume all right I’m gonna blast one up

in the blender this afternoon and try it

out now would you also add water to that

once you blast off yes yeah add add a

couple or two of water for sure all

right I’ll report back with my findings

carry from YouTube what’s the best form

of potassium supplements potassium

chloride or potassium citrate

I like the citrate because the citrate

is something that is involved in our

mitochondrial Krebs cycle pathway and it

kind of gives the raw material for

everything else to work and citrates

also bind with oxalates which actually

prevent kidney stones so so you have a

couple other nice things about that

citrate that can help you but

I will say this when you buy a potassium

citrate a lot of people just get it in

electrolyte powder be wary of

the manufacturing of that product

because a lot of companies get the

cheaper version and it’s loaded with

maltodextrin now how would you know if

that

powder or that potassium powder that you

have that’s loaded with um this starch

all you have to do

is put some water in it put in a little

glass and then put a couple drops of of

iodine in it

and if there’s starch in there it’ll

turn dark purple

if there’s not it’ll just stay yellow or

almost transparent so I did a video on

that and you’d be shocked to find out

how many companies had this hidden

maltodextrin maltodextrin think about

this on the glycemic index

sugar is like 70 what 73 or 74. glucose

is 100

maltodextrin is like 110 to 130. so it’s

way way worse than actual sugar but it’s

not even classified as a sugar it’s they

made it as a starch for probably

marketing purposes so you wouldn’t see

this hidden sugar

interesting okay well now drum roll it’s

time to go to our wonderful Green Room

uh with the all-female cast today we’re

going to start off with Stacy in Alberta

Canada and Stacy I’m going to unmute you

if you’ll do the same thing and uh she’s

going to ask you one question in 30

seconds and get a great answer okay go

ahead hit it

um I’ve been watching you

April 23rd of this year I have started

keto intermittent fasting quit drinking

blah blah blah I’ve lost 60 pounds in

that

um strict I went through all my

cupboards anyways that’s not my question

but I’m on it so a year and a half ago I

had a hip replacement on my left hip

and

I was supposed to get another hip

replacement on my right hip

but three days after I started doing the

keto intermittent fasting I haven’t

taken one pill or nothing for it wow

yeah like I’m everybody knows about you

in my world

um I’m just wondering is there any way

um I can prevent from having another hip

replacement

well you’re not hurting right I mean no

not at all now

here’s the thing I would ride the wave

because

um that’s a major surgery and you know

how the recovery is for that so I mean

the fact that you went on keto you

dropped your inflammation

um things can start healing in that area

uh let’s say worst case scenario you can

also even possibly do some stem cell

there’s some miraculous stuff done with

that if you need it but um I think I

would ride the wave I I’ve had patients

come in to see me when I was in practice

bone on bone and yet they’re doing fine

so yeah you know if you don’t have pain

I think um I I would I think a lot of

people who were in your boat would be

shocked to find out if they just changed

their diet how much inflammation would

go away oh exactly exactly it is it is

phenomenal and my brain function I I

think way better than I’ve ever thought

oh that’s so great yeah um and the uh

you can of course support there’s a lot

of joint formulas out there with um the

chondroitin sulfate and uh glucosamine

you can take those uh as well but um

yeah oh I do I’m so glad you said about

the sauerkraut I eat that every day I

love sauerkraut and I grow microgreens

and I sell them because of you that’s

awesome yeah and on top of that you’re

from Alberta which is even more awesome

because I’ve been through there it’s

beautiful yeah I went up to see Lake

Banff I think it’s called oh bounce yeah

like

okay now listen I just want to show off

her micro green so I shifted again there

they are baking away in the background

and that’s not all of them

wow great job you betcha people love

them I’m spreading the word right you

bad you’re my you’re my hero

yeah thank you I appreciate you thank

you all right thanks so much uh Stacy

you did very well with the questioning

protocol and we’re very proud of you for

that so uh let’s see let’s move on to

what time is it it’s time for Quest quiz

question number two and this drum roll

is what I said is the uh the longest in

history by word count question but it’s

a fun one and here you go

okay so definition

of medical misinformation

a false misleading or inaccurate medical

information or B anything that conflicts

with the World Health organiz Foundation

or now it’s World Health Organization

not Foundation or General Medical

consensus

um what’s the answer what’s the true

answer of that All Right audience I know

you’re on it and let’s go back to social

media

um let’s see

Katrina from Facebook

which foods and protocols would you

suggest for someone with do patrons he

did phonetically did that for me do pie

Trends uh contracture a condition in

which one or more fingers becomes

permanently bent in a flexed position

ouch

so um there’s a couple different

theories of it they don’t really know

exactly why it is

um but I will say that um

I would I would take because we have a

contracture I would take um magnesium

first okay like like uh well you can

take different versions but glycosinate

is a good type of magnesium and I

wouldn’t also avoid calcium I would

probably take a calcium

uh usually you can get magnesium with

calcium in there and that way you have

the minerals to allow the contraction

relaxation of muscles now the other

point about this contraction is that if

your pH is to on the alkaline side

um that can create these minerals from

working correctly so you may find that

if you acidify the body with either

ongoing apple cider vinegar

and or betaine hydrochloride you can

take it when you eat uh with your for

your digestive system you may find that

um that allows those minerals to work a

lot better as well so it’s either a pH

problem I’m guessing or a mineral

problem between magnesium and calcium

all right very good so Sean from

Facebook writes bless you dude Canada

loves you I’ve lost 80 pounds thanks to

your intermittent fasting videos

exclamation mark and there you go Sean

you get a couple of those that’s

terrific what a great story and there’s

thousands of those I didn’t lose 80

pounds but I’m down about 45 and never

felt better so that’s terrific uh now

the audience is Promised uh has

bared through the entire huge question

number two which asks definition of

medical misinformation fall a false

misleading or interactive in inaccurate

medical information or B anything that

conflicts with the World Health

Organization or General Medical

consensus and uh 50 percent there’s a

split of a respondents say it’s a and

fifty percent say it’s B

well according to YouTube it’s B

so in other words anything that doesn’t

align with World Health Organization or

medical consensus is misinformation and

that would be false information so

unfortunately

um they’re starting to censor

um anyone who doesn’t comply with that

so this is why you may have a hard time

finding my videos so you want to just

type Dr Berg and the topic because they

kind of de-ranked a lot of us especially

even in the ketogenic World

unfortunately so I’m going to release a

video on that soon but to me I think

misinformation is incorrect invalid

you know false information I mean that

just would be

doesn’t I mean regardless of how many

times does uh

General Medical consensus have been

wrong right I mean just just recently

um they changed their they flipped their

idea and if you should take

omega-3 before surgery because it could

thin the blood so it’s constantly

changing all the time so unfortunately

if you have the opposing Viewpoint

um you’re not going to be heard

um on YouTube so a lot of people are are

switching to other platforms yeah the

idea that the sort of infallible uh you

know medical community sticks with it Dr

Berg and I both have a great friend uh

MD in Bethesda and he graduated from

Yale as a doctor and he said on his

graduation day the dean said

congratulations you’ve gotten the finest

medical education of any place in the

world however half of what we’ve taught

you is incorrect and he said your job

over the next 30 years or so is to

figure out which half so isn’t that

um isn’t that uh you know it makes you

feel comfortable with all that and it’s

very true things change or so but the

medical community will admit themselves

that they they don’t know everything and

things change constantly so I’m sorry to

hear that other people are speaking on

behalf of the medical community all

right let’s see let’s go back to to um

social media

Raquel from YouTube could you share any

remedies for constant throat clearings

um

yeah I think it’s um I would the best

remedy for that and this can also cause

laryngeal spasm which will cause a

coughing as well and a clearing of the

throat is to take more calcium

take calcium I would get the calcium

lactate is a good one but you can take

other calcium as well but that just

usually means you need more calcium and

that will usually handle that clearing

now you could also have

acid reflux coming up that could be a

situation in which case you would use

the chain hydrochloride as a remedy so

sometimes you want to differentiate or

you might have like some immune

infection that is that’s um

that you’re having this post nasal drip

in which case you would want to take

vitamin D zinc and um

also vitamin C

so there you have it

okay

very good stand by just push the wrong

button all right back to social media uh

spam Mouse from YouTube great great

fellow which is a more effective way of

getting vitamin C strawberries or bell

peppers

I like bell peppers

because um you have less sugar and less

fructose

but you know

if you have a garden boy you should just

grow those bell peppers oh I just

recently had one of my bell peppers what

a difference between a garden bell

pepper and the store-bought I mean just

night and day I when I buy these bell

peppers in the store I’m just like

there’s nothing to them say it’s like

eating a tomato at the store so I

encourage you to either buy them at the

farmer’s market or grow your own

um I am going to be starting a channel

on growing

very soon I know I’ve been saying that

for some time but

we finally are working on our Greenhouse

um in West Virginia so we’re going to

actually film a lot of things related to

that I think it’s going to be pretty

pretty exciting because we’re going to

do a lot of research and then share what

we found in that area which will

help a lot of people who are trying to

just decide what the best how to what

how to create the best soil and all the

other factors that contribute to uh

healthy food that is excited we’re all

waiting for that Dr Berg so it’s good

great news to hear that it’s underway

okay let’s put up the uh third quiz

question for the day then we’re going to

go over to our green room and here’s the

true falser for today

all right true or false the average

amount of added sugar a person in the

U.S consumes daily is 26 teaspoons

sounds like a lot is that true or false

audience okay let’s uh we’re gonna go

over to Victoria who’s from Toronto

another area that you’re familiar with a

doc and here she is with her one

question 30 seconds

hi Dr Burke how are you great thanks

good good I love all of the videos that

you post honestly you’ve helped myself

my husband my mother so thank you thank

you for all the information that you

post so I wanted to ask a really quick

two questions if I may I promise I’ll

get it within 30 seconds so

I have been suffering from endometriosis

now for about 20 years it’s a horrible

problem in my life I have two questions

about endometriosis and a healthy keto

diet with if first on which days of my

25 day cycle should I follow the healthy

keto diet for example like any specific

foods that I should avoid during my

cycle and then second is regarding your

videos regarding um endometriosis and

Pain Relief is there a recommended

amount of stinging nettle root think

sure maybe if possible that I should

take and I want to make sure that I

don’t take too much thank you

yes so this the cool thing about singing

ever

is it helps to regulate estrogen as well

there’s an enzyme called aromatase which

it inhibits so that can actually help a

lot and I would take I would adjust I

would take some right and then I would

keep increasing it until

you feel better and it might be

five times the normal amount that you

would normally take during when you need

it as far as the foods to avoid uh with

you

unfortunately Dairy is a top of the list

because the dairy tends to affect

estrogen more than any other thing

um a key Trace mineral that you should

be focusing on right now is iodine and

sea kelp is a good source but iodine is

one of those wonderful things that can

actually help balance this estrogen

problem and reduce the formation even of

um

endometriosis

um there is some additional data

um

that um I recently stumbled on that you

could probably

do further research on something called

NATO kinase

it’s an enzyme to help dissolve fibrous

tissue and that’s what endometriosis is

so you might want to see if there’s any

connection between NATO kinase

and fiber and endometriosis you might

find something there

thank you thank you is the seek help

because I ordered all of your

supplements by the way so your sea kelp

does it have iodine because I don’t

remember oh yeah yeah in the right

amounts so yeah you’re good on that for

sure

perfect thank you you’re welcome

great question thank you so much

Victoria and can’t wait to hear uh you

know fair weather times for you in the

future with uh with your continued

pursuit of getting some relief from that

um

irritating and

troubling disease if that’s what it’s

called okay let’s um go and ask a

question from Lou from YouTube I’ve been

suffering from migraines I suspect it’s

from high histamine levels because of my

Eczema and insomnia what’s the best way

to lower histamine levels doc do you

think that’s part of his problem

quercetin is is one remedy and a lot

more vitamin C

can help reduce systemine levels too and

there’s also you might want to do a

search on high histamine foods and start

avoiding those as well and there’s quite

a list on that but the the biggest thing

is the quercetin is a good remedy for

that and and higher amounts

so try that onions actually are loaded

with with quercetin and so start eating

a lot of onions as well very good good

luck with that okay quiz question number

three was a true falser and it asked

true false the average amount of added

sugar a person U.S consumes daily is 26

teaspoons that’s a pile I believe and

um 72 percent of a respondents say it’s

true and 28 say that’s just impossible

no way

it’s true it’s true now that doesn’t

even count for the amount of sugar

that’s in the other carbohydrates like

all the breads pasta cereal crackers

that type of thing so you have to

realize that an average American

I mean who’s average just there’s quite

a few people that are eating way more

than that and there’s a lot of people

eating a lot less than that including

myself so right in the middle though

that’s a lot of sugar right so

unfortunately it that’s going to create

something called hyperglycemia

now this is interesting if you look at a

trusted source of medical to learn about

hypoglycemic hyperglycemia from of

course Wikipedia we know they’re the

most trusted Source if you look down to

the cause of that

it doesn’t even mention dietary sugar at

all

I wonder how that got omitted I mean

that just blew my mind so you know it

could come from glandular endocrine

problems or diabetes or or infection or

excess eating but no one they didn’t

mention this excess sugar in the diet

it’s kind of like the elephant in the

room and um

apparently that’s an omission yeah okay

and here’s evidence of someone that

probably doesn’t do that anymore Jack

from Facebook I’ve lost 50 pounds on

healthy keto and intermittent fasting

thank you Dr Berg with several

exclamation marks so good for you Jack

that’s a tremendous uh achievement and I

know you feel terrific

so and there’s lots of those again

audience we could spend uh most part of

the show

recanting people’s uh pleasure from

feeling better and being healthier but

we want to stick with your questions as

the Paramount thing so we can get you

feeling healthier and better let’s see

um

all right

how about

um

Rebecca from Facebook what would you

take to alleviate shaky hands and what

do you recommend to address varicose

veins

well I mean

there are people that have a dopamine

deficiency and Parkinson Parkinson’s

Parkinson’s that shake their hands a lot

and I don’t

that’s that’s more rare so I wouldn’t go

in that direction I will say that

there’s some interesting data about a

vitamin B1 deficiency and that affecting

part of the brain that controls this

involuntary movement so I might I would

recommend taking an uh natural source of

B1 but take larger amounts that might

help the shaking with the varicose veins

I would go right to that whole lemon

that’s loaded with the bioflavonoids

that can help support this uh

the vein collagen

outer part of that vein and artery and

that would help your circulation as well

um also realize that if you have

estrogen dominance that can also cause

increase in varicose veins and spider

veins so you might want to deal with

that as well with iodine or the

cruciferous vegetables which help

balance out that excess estrogen

okay I think this is an interesting

question Boyka from Facebook is it okay

to consume colostrum during intermittent

fasting

um good question I think it’s okay it’s

not not too much of a dose and there is

some small amount of calories in there

if you can find colostrum from a sheep

or a goat versus a cow you might

it might work a little bit better but

I’m not saying the cows won’t work but I

know some people there have

sensitivities to casein

um

and even lactose which could be in that

colostrum but colostrum has like all

these amazing immune factors and

if we just talk about clostrum we talk

talk about breast milk which is the the

most amazing Liquid Gold nutrition that

a human a baby could consume and

unfortunately

um

the baby infant formulas the companies

are really discouraging in indirect ways

women breastfeeding and I think

if you take a look at some of these

infant formulas they’re like at the

epitome of ultra process

junk food I mean look at the ingredients

in this stuff I would not want to give

that to an infant um if you can’t

breastfeed there’s something called a

little late shade League you could get

some donations from breast milk but the

colostrum is really important for the

immune system and uh even if you have

like a if you had to take a lot of

steroids or and you damage your immune

system colostrum is one way to kind of

help recover it so I talked about that

in a video so can you describe for the

audience what colostrum is is it

different from breast milk in itself

it’s the thing that’s produced in the

first

time first few times that you you give

milk when you’re breastfeeding they

there’s a colostrum that’s released and

that has a tremendous amount of immune

building properties

um

and it’s called the part of the innate

immune system not something not the

other system that you acquire

from being infected but something that

the mother gives you and the other thing

in breast milk and I don’t know about

colostrum is you have a lot of

probiotics as well from the mother to

the infant uh so you get a lot of great

things from colostrum but mainly immune

factors that

um are in the first part of that that

cycle of breastfeeding okay very good

let’s see

um Kelly from YouTube I need your help

to quit smoking that’s a rotten thing

please share your suggestions

I think um smoking tends to help people

reduce stress they drink they they smoke

to relax reduce stress so if you were to

take um some type of natural combination

of things like let’s say ashwagandha

natural vitamin B1 and lemon balm tea

and you just started adding that as a

replacement that might help you and if

it’s really bad maybe you need to add

like a whole desiccated adrenal

supplement with that but there’s going

to be a couple weeks of withdrawals and

um difficulty coming off cigarettes but

are nicotine but

that’s what I would recommend

um

because it’s uh definitely

all that all the chemicals and the

actual smoke and the carbon monoxide the

Arsenic all that stuff

ends up right through your lung into

your bloodstream into the arteries and

it messes with your arteries and it

creates

problems that you don’t want so

um

it also kind of increases your risk for

cancer and other issues too so it’s best

that you take this and and substitute

um

that stress relief with other things

that can reduce stress keep yourself

really busy as well yeah Kelly I tell

you and all those people in the audience

and there’s Millions still that are

smoking that was one of the most

difficult but rewarding things that I

ever did I quit about 35 years ago and

when I asked a few people nervously

while I was you know 15 minutes into

quitting smoking you know how do you do

it and many people would say well you

know you have the physical part for

three days and then the emotional part

for five days and then you’re fine and I

thought that doesn’t sound right and I

finally talked to one guy and he said

look just forget about the calendar he

goes it’s going to suck for a while but

it’s well worth it so just don’t look

day by day just just keeps you know

stating it’s okay to want a cigarette

and it’s okay not to smoke one and and

just keep with that and I’m so glad I

did but that is an insane addiction I

mean I it’s hard to describe people that

haven’t been but it is just bugs you

every second and so I’m so April I’m

free of that and Kelly you can be too so

why don’t you check back in with us and

one last thing I bought a bicycle for

the first time in my life right when I

quit smoking because I said I don’t

think I can smoke a cigarette while I’m

riding and then every time I thought

well why don’t you start smoking again

okay good I’ll just bend of the bicycle

I won’t be needing that anymore and that

and that little routine kept me off long

enough uh and I still enjoy riding bikes

so good for you Kelly keep it up

all right let’s see um Lynn from

Facebook what would you recommend for

someone diagnosed with uh s jagran

syndrome a long-term autoimmune disease

that affects the body’s moisture

producing glands that’s interesting you

heard of that yeah oh okay um

vitamin D in high quantities anything

with autoimmune you want to take vitamin

D and I’m talking like maybe 40 to 50

000 IUS per day that would be a good

thing to take

there is some other types of

remedies to help lubricate the eyes in

the meantime and you can get those

online they’re natural remedies but yeah

this uh the tear glands and

start drying up and you have all sorts

of issues with even your connective

tissue and your skin so high levels of

vitamin D tend to act as like a natural

steroid without the side effect

um you know we think about vitamin D as

a vitamin but really it’s a hormone and

it has very similar functions to

cortisol

but it does it’s like an

anti-inflammatory and it helps your

immune system

but cortisol suppresses the immune

system vitamin D regulates or moderates

the immune system so it won’t it’ll turn

off like a cytokine storm but it will

it’ll not shut it down like cortisol

will

interesting okay I’m going to use the

same routine we did a few minutes ago

and that is to ask a question and then

we’re going to go to our final Green

Room participant Joy so Joy stand by for

a minute and here’s quiz question number

four

all right most of your vitamin E is

stored in which body organ

all right well Joyce boom we replaced

the question and bring you up uh one

question please in 30 seconds

good morning uh Dr Berg thank you for

all the information that you share with

everybody I love your program

um the question I have today is about my

husband about a year ago he was

diagnosed with slow AFib so only when

he’s relaxed as he go into uh afib

um he also he takes meds for high blood

pressure

he has psoriatic arthritis which he no

longer takes

biologics for because keto and if has

helped that tremendously and my question

is what can we do well actually he had a

cardioversion too I forgot that in March

he had a cardioversion which lasted

three days

what else can we do to help this

situation

the doctors are saying you know blood

thinners for the rest of your life we

live a very active lifestyle and um

you know he exercises and it’s just a

little unsettling

so yeah just so you know like I’m just

going to give you areas of research

because of course I can’t

I’m not going to cure anything but

here’s some things to look at uh number

one you said he was he he is or he was

an athlete at one time right yeah did he

did he do uh biking

no not so much she played lacrosse

running surfing

yeah we used to be big Runners but not

so much anymore because um because one

of the things that can happen if someone

was an athlete is their heart uh becomes

stronger and bigger

and when the heart becomes bigger it

does alter the Pacemakers you have four

of them and that that can that can

create a um arrhythmia just from the

heart being bigger so that’s just one as

a side note because I did a lot of

biking and I started having arrhythmias

and I was like what is going on

um so there’s a couple other things and

of course the the elephant in the room

is is electrolytes

um definitely the Magnesium of potassium

and larger amounts over a longer period

of time will be necessary to really

build up the body I think a really good

test if you could find do a search on

the internet uh it’s called interests

called intracellular magnesium test

so you want to check not in your blood

but inside the cells and you you send

you a kit and you take a little scrape

of the inside of your your oh and you

send it in it’ll tell you where you’re

intracellular potassium is I’m sorry

magnesium I think they might check

potassium too but that would be a really

good test to see what’s going on with

that mineral because

I know the electrolytes are involved in

arrhythmias problems you also have um

electromagnetic fields from cell phones

and uh

like I found

um if you get a tester I don’t think I

have mine here but the tri-failed

uh EMF tester go around your house and

uh I found not only my computer but

right in the head of my wall where I

sleep was radiating magnetic fields

eight feet off the wall so every time

you went to sleep I was bathing in this

electromagnetic field I had an

electrician open the wall redo and

looking in there they found all these

cross wires and all these problems

electrically that they fixed all that

and my rhythmias went away that was my

the cause of mine

um

so you have that and then um

the other things with the arrhythmias if

you take a look at if the body is too

ass or too alkaline you can have

arrhythmias on both Spectrum so it’s

just something else to look at in

relationship to arrhythmias

worst case scenario if he has to take a

blood thinner I would I would try to

find one that is

doesn’t restrict his ability to consume

dark leafy green

vitamin K Rich vegetables I know they

have them out there

because the coumatin doesn’t allow you

to do that so that restricts certain

things so right

I’m not sure if the one that he’s on he

I don’t know if I can say the name of it

but it’s Xarelto if that restricts I

don’t remember the doctor saying that

you you couldn’t have Greek leafy greens

I’m not sure but okay something to look

at but um those are the things that I

would recommend and uh

um hopefully one of those will will help

him

thank you so much you’re welcome

that’s great Joyce um you know keep us

posted on your husband’s progress we

hope so

get back to the bicycle or whatever I

guess he didn’t do that get back to his

active life that would be terrific okay

so let’s see um we did get answers in

the interim while Joyce was giving us

her husband’s condition and the question

asks most of your vitamin E is stored in

which body organ and

um

55 percent of the respondents say it’s

the skin 35 say it’s the liver and 10

say It’s stuck in the brain

okay the answer is

adipose tissue it’s your fat

your fat is an organ that produces

hormones but your fat stores the

majority of your vitamin E but not just

vitamin E

vitamin A vitamin D

um and vitamin K and so when you lose

weight when you do a fast for example

um you have to realize you’re releasing

some of these fat soluble vitamins into

circulation and this allows you to um

not be deficient

so think about an overweight person that

can’t tap into fat

um

they can’t tap into some of these fat

soluble vitamins as well

um but what’s interesting about this is

that

when you consume water-soluble vitamins

like the B vitamins and vitamin C

um the question is

how long are these water soluble

vitamins stored in the body

and for that question I should probably

ask that next weekend or next week

because it’s a really good question with

a very interesting answer interesting

well we can’t wait for that and speaking

of questions Here’s the final one for

this show

okay what is the advantage of consuming

fermented foods over just fiber-rich

Foods

climb on it audience okay Anila from

Facebook the root cause of most disease

is inflammation what steps should we

follow every day to change that

condition

I think inflammation is is is not the

root cause it’s the tip of the iceberg

there’s something deeper what’s causing

the inflammation you got to pull the

string deeper and that’s usually related

to this thing called diet so there’s

something that a person’s eating that’s

creating the inflammation the most

likely reason is the

sugar in refined carbs refined sugars

and refined carbs then we get the

omega-6 fatty acid type oils the seed

oils

um so we’re talking about Ultra

processed foods when you go into a

grocery store

did you realize that 6 83 percent

of all the calories in a grocery store

is ultra processed foods foods that

don’t even resemble the original food

so you have the situation where you’re

trying to find food you have to go to

the perimeter and try to find food

because everything else is processed so

it’s my opinion that all the the inside

of those the aisles that you go down are

just filled with inflammatory foods now

of course stress can create inflammation

and smoking and drinking and all that

but it really boils down to your Foods

um you can have like myself my genes

um are are such that I’m my weak link is

inflammation so if I over train or don’t

eat right I will get way more

inflammation than an average person so I

have to constantly regulate that so

there you have it that’s my long-winded

answer all right well that was a great

answer Michelle from YouTube because of

my

dinner oh gosh

aidenomyces I cannot consume lemons what

alternatives think go ahead pronounce

that for me or is that enough Aiden o

mices

adenomiasis I think I said it right does

that ring a bell

and I’m probably saying it wrong

I thought you’re going to give me some

easy questions you know I started

because I like the word Michelle I

yeah when I when I read the question it

started with Michelle and I said I can

pronounce that but as I got deeper into

it

you know for that it’s kind of like uh

if I have too much of uh cyclopentanyl

propane hydrofen and threes is that

going to cause uh a redness in my well

good well I’m glad you’re perplexed too

and I’m sure it’s not your fault doc

again I probably was probably pronounced

totally differently but let’s move on

from that and uh we’ll Michelle we’ll

try to do some research and figure out

what that is all about uh let’s see uh

Joanne from Facebook I was told not to

take ashwagandha if you have an

autoimmune disease what are your

thoughts on that

you know I disagree I disagree I think

ashwagandha is is still good with

autoimmune it’s a fascinating herb from

India that has the ability to increase

the adaptation of stress

um there’s a great great uh little

device that I’m about to

finally get around to

organizing today I’m going to work on

that

um so people can have access to this

very inexpensive little device that you

can measure your own autonomic nervous

system and you can really see what’s

going on with your

ability to

fight stress and your capacity to handle

stress and your

flight or fight mechanism and your

parasympathetic nervous system so you’ll

be able to measure all that and really

find out what’s going on inside and then

you can use it to do your own research

on your own body won’t that be cool

that’s exciting that is exciting yeah

now let’s talk uh briefly about other

ways for the audience to be able to get

your information and that’s the free app

for both Android and iOS or iPhone as

it’s known and doc I think those are all

still fed from the same well though

right don’t they link to your YouTube

videos

yeah you know um you’re not going to be

able to find a lot of information on

YouTube like you did before on me so the

best way to go is on my website

drbird.com because that way we have it

classified and easy to find you can do

searches and you can find all the

information right there

um so that’s the best way to do it and

also sign up for my newsletter on my

website because if anything ever happens

in the future where you can’t find me

that way you’re on my list and I can

make sure you get all the information

you need

um and you can have access to it because

I’m constantly sending

um anyone on my list

um great data that sometimes you know

you can’t really see on these other

platforms

that’s great so it would it be just go

to the website and there’s a way to sign

up is that the way so doctorberg.com

there’s several places that you can sign

up they’re opt-in forms so you can sign

up and get in my mailing list or my

email list that I I send out a few times

a week great let’s take that seriously

audience we want to be able to stay

connected with Dr Berg uh in any event

okay let’s see uh our final question for

the day and audience thank you for

helping us get through them all asked

what is the advantage of consuming

fermented foods over just good old

fiber-rich Foods

88 of our respondents say fermented

foods boost the gut function and 12 say

they are good for digestion and boosting

immunity kind of sounds the same

you’re everyone’s correct they give you

probiotics and and many of these

fermented vegetables have fiber

but there’s other things that donate

fiber like the fermented milk and that’s

in Kiefer

sometimes yogurt but

you know the

the benefits of putting that those

micros back in your gut

um I mean I don’t know anyone who has

never taken an antibiotic before

um I’ve been looking at the research on

antibiotics

your gut doesn’t ever come back to where

it should there’s there’s changes that

occur that sometimes take

six months to restore and even at that

point they never come back to normal so

it’s always a weak link and then if

you’re like me who has taken a lot of

antibiotics in your life boy that’s

going to be like an issue and you might

have some

inflammation deep in your gut that you

don’t know about on top of all the food

and things that create inflammation so

it’s really important on a regular basis

to

keep those probiotics in your gut and

fermented foods are the best way

especially the sauerkraut the kimchi and

the kefir which I like kefir

very important I’m going to release

another updated video on how to use

kefir

um more at night or maybe at your last

meal to help you sleep

but it’s amazing these these microbes

really help us in so many different ways

and if you don’t understand the

significance of that you can end up

wiping them out or

killing them and end up having

deficiencies at the microbes and then

then you get all the pathogens

and other issues that come along with

that the side effect from antibiotics

huh well we don’t want to do that Maria

from Facebook is the healthy keto okay

for someone with hereditary high

cholesterol levels

it is um but maybe what you do is you

just don’t add the extra fat you don’t

add the extra MCT oil or the the keto

bomb fat cookies you know maybe you just

don’t do that but but having the the fat

that normally comes with the meat uh

it’s going to be fine you can also do

many things to help if you have a

cholesterol problem that’s related to

your genes you could you can add vitamin

B3 which is awesome uh you can also add

um

NATO kinase which is another one

uh there’s I have a list of a lot of

different ones that work really good to

help regulate cholesterol and prevent

problems in your arteries

[Music]

um

that um have less side effects than

things like statins

all right very good well we’re getting

close here let me see if I can find it

fresh

question uh Terry is teaching me about

pronunciation still sorry to be on that

theme so much but it seems to have come

into a question this time so let me look

back here

um

vitamin C we did that

the Adoration of Dr Berg we’ve gone by

that

um let’s see

uh Dr Byrne for the first time ever I

think I’m coming up empty on questions

let’s see can we finally answered all

the questions that people wanted to know

about and they just ran out of questions

that’s right I was waiting till I

ended up at this point where there’s

absolutely nothing else to talk about

because

all the questions are answered you know

that is a thorough show I will see

everyone next week same time same place

have a wonderful weekend and stay tuned

for great videos

[Music]

thank you
