thank you

well good morning everyone or good

afternoon wherever you are so we have

another show and anything that I say is

definitely not meant to cure you or

replace your medical care check with

your doc before taking any of these

recommendations I have a lot of great

guests and a lot of great uh quizzes for

you so let’s just Dive Right In we sure

do and uh in no particular order

actually it is a particular order we

have in our Green Room Harry from

Melbourne Australia and it’s about three

o’clock in the morning there so having

Mercy on him we’re going to bring him

into the show first and Harry if you’re

unmuted you’re on with Dr bird

can you hear me yes perfectly

uh good morning Dr Berg good morning

thank you for having me uh thank you for

uh all the guidance and support you

probably don’t know the difference that

you make

um I’ll uh Dive Right and I’ve written

it down here just so that I don’t waste

every everyone’s time

um I’ve been diagnosed with the HP re

sibo high cholesterol

um uh a number of other things these are

the main main items are from multiple

failed treatments to hatch pillory

both conventional medicine as well as

natural remedies and including some of

the remedies that you recommend uh it it

still remains in my system I these

symptoms are lack of energy lethargy

extreme bloating no strength short of

breath

you know the the minute I do any kind of

activity

on on blood testing the blood

inflammation levels are a good

there’s deficiency in active B12

LDL as I just mentioned High 4.8 when it

needs to be about two

um I’m on on a lot of supplements uh you

know the enzymes before food broccoli

Sprouts

the zinc

with food other supplements such as

turmeric coffee

empty stomach

B12 B1 iodine

lipoic acid acid vitamin C is for

nursing

I I I I and I and I guess the issue is

Hilary and sibo which are kind of you

know when you’re trying to fix sibo you

can’t fix head region when you’re fixing

hatch battery you can’t fix sibo

um and and it’s been two years uh it’s

just I’m not able to deliver normal

lifestyle I I don’t know what to do okay

so that was a great one one question a

quick quick one but I’m going to tell

you what I would recommend okay

um and you can watch this later because

I want to go quite rapidly the thing

with the small intestinal bacterial

overgrowth is you have a competition

between

um these microbes

and your own body they’re stealing all

your nutrition so they’re they’re

leaving you deficient so that’s why you

have to take it because it’s these

microbes should be kind of hanging out

in the in the large bowel but they’re

hanging out in the small and small

intestine

and so they’re you shouldn’t have all

this fermentation going on there because

it’s the wrong place so that’s why you

get the bloating so one thing you have

to be careful about is feeding them

um so I would cut off any fiber and go

carnivore right away because if you give

them fiber from plants or anything

um they’ll eat it they’ll um eat it and

they’ll keep keep alive

um

the most important probably supplement

would be betaine hydrochloride in larger

amounts if you can tolerate let’s say I

don’t know 10 tablets

before each meal

that will acidify the stomach okay so

then now

we’ve got an acid stomach it’ll stop

these microbes from

any other microbes from the food going

into the small intestine that’ll kill

things off it takes a while to build

that up but that will also help uh

trigger the bile salts the bile so you

probably have to take some purified bile

salts after the meal and also an empty

stomach play around with the dosage and

because think about this the bile I

think you have a bile problem because

the bile normally made by the liver that

goes in the gallbladder goes in the

small intestine and one function is to

make sure

uh all these microbes in the small

intestine can’t survive so it’s like a

detergent it kills microbes so it sounds

like you don’t have that happening so if

we do the bile salts as well as HCL

hydrochloric acid from the betaine

hydrochloride

then we can actually um

do good things now

the other icing on the cake is going to

be the fasting I would highly recommend

uh have one meal a day and then do

do prolonged fasting maybe once a week

until

you can have Good Housekeeping and that

you you have a flush of all these

different microbes out of the body

because that way you can actually start

them off and then your body can live on

your ketones which is your stored fat so

that would be like the most important

things to focus on right now

um

but um

and then once things are better

then what you can do is then you can

start adding like the maybe the

Probiotic foods and things like that

back in there like sauerkraut stuff like

that but

um I’m gonna get the system back on

track

sounds great all right Harry thanks so

much for coming to us from uh Melbourne

and we hope that you call us back and

let us know just how that all went and

let’s go to social media so first up

from Facebook uh is Chris how can I

improve uh upon getting sleepy after I

eat he gets very sleepy after he eats so

how can we uh help Chris out

well

um it depends if you’re eating eating

Donuts or find carbs and you’re getting

sleepy then you have a blood sugar crash

but if you’re not then uh two things

either take the this thing called

betaine hydrochloride to help you digest

the food you may be eating too much

protein which could also kind of uh turn

in the sugar and make you kind of tired

if you overload protein

um but definitely start get get rid of

any carbs that will help you and then

the last thing to uh to realize though

some people you know I I talk to some

people and they’re like they’re not

doing carbs and they’re still getting

tired and and their their stomach is

fine but I find out they just don’t get

enough hours of sleep

and um that’s a problem that uh can

easily be solved if you watch some sleep

videos so those are three simple quick

things that you could wrap your wits

around terrific okay now you won’t need

to um struggle over answering this

because it’s not a question it’s a

statement Don uh don Louis from YouTube

I’ve lost 22 pounds

on your program and my stomach acids are

going strong thank you Dr Berg so thank

you Don for letting us know and

congratulations on your great weight

loss uh new you from YouTube I’ve tried

your butter chicken recipe and even my

fussy five-year-old ate it thanks Dr

Berg looking forward to trying more of

your recipes and we’ve got to also ring

the bell for Karen because I know she’s

got her his lovely wife’s got her hand

in all these delicious things as well in

the recipes uh let’s see why don’t we

talk about who is joining us Beyond uh

our first guest here Harry from

Melbourne I’d like to say a good morning

to all our viewers joining us today from

the UK Canada Mexico Ireland Israel

now bimbia I think Terry’s trying to get

me to say that right one day I will

nabmia I guess it is anyway Oman

Slovakia uh

uh chechnya Switzerland boy chechny I

haven’t heard from them before I don’t

believe uh Eritrea Eritrea United Arab

Emirates Jamaica uh Guyana Romania Qatar

I think this is a record the Netherlands

Brazil Taiwan Paraguay Malaysia the

Virgin Islands Finland Peru South Africa

turkey Hong Kong Trinidad and Tobago

Australia there you go Nicaragua Kenya

the uh Philippines Nigeria Iran Ethiopia

Saudi Arabia Montenegro Croatia Estonia

Palestine welcome Palestine Belgium and

all across these United States so thanks

everybody for checking in uh and let’s

go straight back to social media

uh Thomas from Facebook I’ve been

reading about the keto diet can oh cause

thyroid issues and causing people to go

on thyroid medicine have you come across

these cases in your research that awful

Keto

yeah it’s a dangerous thing cutting out

those carbs I tell you it just leads to

all sorts of side effects

um it’s completely false I mean

if you keto is really the reduction of

carbs it doesn’t really talk about the

quality of food doesn’t talk about the

nutrition

so if you’re doing something called the

healthy version of a ketogenic diet your

thyroid is not going to be a problem in

fact you’re going to be more efficient

to the point where the thyroid doesn’t

have to work so hard and you may even

not need as many of those thyroid

hormones to have everything work so you

may see a a little bit of a lowering of

like T4 or even T3 but it it’ll be

within normal range but the the thing

that people diagnose

hypothyroidism with is something called

the thyroid stimulating hormone that’s a

pituitary hormone that will always just

stay normal so nothing to worry about

you’re just eating healthy foods with

low carbs so for someone to say it’s

going to damage the thyroid why because

the thyroid needs carbs like explain

that to me I’d like to see just one

study that show that it’s a logical yep

that makes sense to me I’ll heat from

YouTube how can I increase my HDL it’s

always between 28 and 30. boy that does

sound low I’m 47 and on blood pressure

meds I get my blood tested every four

months everything is normal except for

this really low HDL

well I would um

um one thing that causes low human

growth hormone would be age

so how do you solve that right well

there’s a lot of things you can do

exercise intense exercise with a lot of

rest will increase growth hormone also

more sleep will increase growth hormone

um arginine is a supplement that will

kill two birds with one stone it’ll help

increase Arginine plus it will help you

with blood pressure because it’s kind of

like a precursor to the something called

nitric oxide which supports the inside

of the vascular system uh which I will

release the video on that too

um I mean if you think these the

medications for blood pressure you have

the

big one that’s always given which is a

diuretic which depletes potassium and

magnesium which the two things that you

need to keep the blood pressure low and

then you have the ACE inhibitors and

then you have the calcium channel

blockers so these things all just um

have side effects and um

as far as growth hormone goes going back

to sticking on that topic I would

definitely focus on

going low carb okay because too much

sugar will inhibit uh growth hormone and

then um

and then also the sleep and the exercise

and then of course you can throw in the

Arginine too but

um only only if you really need it

um but make sure your exercise has

enough recovery so you get enough so you

don’t over train because that’ll because

the cortisol the stress will really shut

it down too surgeon might be on growth

hormone I have quite a few and I give a

lot of additional

things to do

all right sounds great and by the way

and when Dr uh Berg says search here’s a

great way to do it he’s got his nice app

that we’ve talked about you can get it

on uh you know on Mac or any of the

Android phones so make sure you check

that out and find the answers to your

many questions all right uh let’s see uh

you’re enough is the handle from this

person on YouTube can a colloidal silver

help uh with bowel issues like

diverticulitis

I don’t think that would be the the best

remedy it wouldn’t hurt it’s good for a

lot of things related to infection

so if there’s an infection down there

yeah it’d probably be good but with the

bow

related I mean if I

if I wanted to become a medical doctor

I’d probably be a GI doc because it

would be so easy and so dramatic to turn

things around because one thing

is uh

GA doctors don’t really emphasize enough

is the the food here they’re studying

the digestive tract but they don’t

really get into the connection between

what you eat very much it’s mainly here

take an anti-spice spasmodic medication

and acid take pain pills and

go get some Pepto-Bismol you know so

it’s like um what about the food the

food that you’re eating and especially

inflammation in the colon

um

uh bone broth like if you made a made

your own bone brothness you buy some

bones and you cut them in half or you

buy them already cut in half and you

make your own bone broth with it in with

the stew

synthetic meat in there the fat is

really good you can even put vegetables

in there cook it down with some spices

garlic that would be a really good um

gut healing

food that um

that all that without collagen and uh

um bone broth I mean that’s going to

really help your gut in a big way so

that would just be like one simple thing

I would recommend rather than quite a

little silver which might not create the

impact that you want

sounds great and black butterfly from

YouTube is an A1C of 6 or 6.5 okay will

keto make a difference

well it all depends what you what it

used to be if it was seven before now

it’s 6.5 and then it’s good

um it’s you want to get it down to like

5.5 or even a little bit less because

you’re measuring an average blood sugar

over a few months like maybe three two

months and um what what’s happening is

you’re measuring how much sugar got

stuck to that hemoglobin and then the

red blood cells die so then the recycle

starts all over so you can kind of see

how much sugar you’ve been eating which

is interesting because a lot of people

will say well I don’t eat sugar and then

they and then they go well just on the

weekends well you’re looking at an

average of blood sugars so if you

calculate those days in there

um you’re gonna it’s gonna be higher so

that’s why I like A1C even better than a

blood sugar because just a typical blood

glucose test because you can

you really see what’s happening if the

person’s cheating or not not they would

ever cheat but

yeah well I think they do and by the way

if I might a friend of mine just got

denied surgery a couple days ago he has

a stenosis in his neck and they said his

his A1C of 8.5 or something is too high

until he gets it down to 6.5 they’re not

going to cut him open is 8.5 really bad

it’s it’s not that great I mean I’ve

seen it people have up to 11. so it’s

not good

um it just tells me they’re eating too

many carbs well he does he’s a mini

Snicker bar fanatic so it shouldn’t be

too hard for him to behave all right why

don’t we go back to our Green Room Mark

as our next sleepiest guy uh on the ramp

he’s in Southern California was uh on

the air we’re on the Queue with us at 7

30 in the morning and Mark if you’ll

unmute yourself we’d ask your one

question in 30 seconds go

good morning dog good morning hey I’m

using a couple of your supplements

and I already have called in to the

customer service and asked what makes a

complete supplement regimen and what I

have what I was told is this

the D3 plus the K2

the keto energy

The Organic Raw wheatgrass

and the trace minerals those four items

would that be a complete supplement yeah

I think I would probably just add one

little thing and that’s the electrolytes

because that way you can get the uh the

benefit of potassium it’s so wild that

they press the powder I’m sorry that’s

the powder okay and I have that also

that’s right then you’re then you’re

good to go that’s actually money and

you’re going to do be in good shape but

you know you try to find a potassium

supplement it’s really only like 99

milligrams they sell it and so I mean we

need 4 700 milligrams so that’s always

on the low side but yeah it sounds like

a good protocol I think you’ll enjoy

that

so how much of that should I use the

electrical like drink how much of that

should I use it per day I think you just

need one one to enhance your diet

um depending on what you’re doing I mean

if you have a lot of fluid retention you

can take more or if you um let’s say you

exercise uh you want to spike your

energy take that right before you work

out Watch What Happens I think you’ll

you’ll see a a shift in your energy

I am I’m about um six one 193 I have

dropped about seven pounds since I’ve

started following you wow that’s great

getting to the because I’m not extremely

I have a lot to wait to lose but

maybe another five or ten wouldn’t be

bad so that’s great sounds like I

appreciate your stuff it’s good it’s

very reasonable and good information so

thanks Mark that’s great thanks so much

for joining us Mark we appreciate it as

you continue to uh drop down and wait

and increase health we always love to

have our participants come back and and

give us another Glimpse at their

progress and so on so thank you for that

oh you know what boy I’ve I’ve bombed

out on the questions let’s get going

here doc here’s the first one

okay so um uh let me try to click this

thing to see if I could pop it up so I

could see here we go okay good okay the

best antidote for salt sensitivity is

fill in the blank now salt sensitivity

is the kind of like where you uh you eat

salt and you retain fluid you retain

sodium and you’re retaining fluid so

what is the best remedy for that the

antidote to that salt sensitivity all

right sounds great an audience I know

you’ll help me out uh I am remiss and

not getting these up quick enough so

launch into that we’re going to get all

five quiz questions answered uh in spite

of my tardiness on that issue okay let’s

go back to social media Mary from

Facebook what could be behind a craving

for vinegar that’s interesting

well I think I think there’s many

reasons but um it could be that you need

more help with your digestion but also

um

acetic acid in the vinegar has um

amazing benefits that uh help to

reestablish like pH for example so let’s

say your pH is running more on the

alkaline side than it should

um then you probably crave acids so that

could be one reason and you take it

you’re like wow I feel so much better

like people you can even breathe better

because the pH

comes back to where it needs to be now

some people will say well I thought the

pH was supposed to be alkaline well

that’s you’re looking at the blood right

it should be slightly alkaline

but um sometimes it’s just off a little

bit either too high or too low too acid

or two alkaline and so we need it in

this very narrow range and so um that’s

kind of like everything is revolves

around with that blood pH but

um realize that every part of your body

has a different pH so um

um your stomach is really acid so don’t

don’t try to just alkalize the body

thinking that that’s the most healthiest

thing in the world because you can end

up alkalizing your stomach and creating

a whole bunch of problems very good okay

man preet from YouTube I am 38 a

vegetarian and have hypothyroidism I

have tried everything to lose weight but

no success please share your best advice

difficult being a vegetarian because

it’s hard to keep your carbs low and

keep the fat high and keep all the

nutrition in but I think you said you’re

not a vegan or vegetarian so you can

have eggs right so

um maybe have more eggs but there are a

couple things to really look at is your

results are going to be dependent on you

really addressing that insulin

resistance and keep the insulin as low

as possible by cutting down the carbs so

you can do it but it’s just more

difficult you cut down the carbs get

more sleep

you make sure that your um

your stress is as low as possible go for

long walks do physical activity outside

to keep the stress down and exercise

um these and I have a huge list of

additional things if you plateau

um what you could do is pull up my

videos based on plateauing and always

look at the most recent one because

those are the most updated one like

today I’m going to be doing a

some updated videos on things that I

found related to blood pressure that I

like you need to know this if you have

blood pressure so I’m always constantly

finding new things so stay tuned for

that but um that’s what I would

recommend all right very good and we

must go to Christine from YouTube can

you talk about the best diet plan and

supplements for someone who has been

diagnosed with breast cancer or sorry to

hear that Christine what do you think

doc

that too I would find my most recent uh

video on cancer we there’s a protocol

that you can download

um

that I’m not making any claims but

there’s a little protocol that I would

recommend of what I would do if I had

cancer there’s going to be a lot of

fasting involved like prolonged fasting

depending on how severe the the cancer

is the more fasting you need to do I do

not provide any supplements for this

protocol

um but we we list out a protocol that

will help to inhibit a certain pathway

that’s involved in the cancer cells

making their membranes and if you can

starve them off of that there’s some

really good research to actually make

the cancer go bye-bye but again read

that look at it decide

um and then of course check with your

doctor before implementing any of these

crazy suggestions absolutely okay thank

you audience uh who immediately answered

the first question which asked the best

antidote for salt sensitivity is and uh

80 of our respondents say potassium or

magnesium and 10 say uh coenzyme I’m

sorry qq10 uh and five percent say

hallium and five percent say drink more

water

yeah the answer is potassium yeah

potassium and sodium work together

um so many people are focused on

reducing sodium instead of increasing

potassium

sodium does no longer become sensitive

if you get the ratios right if you

increase your your potassium you need

twice as much potassium as you do sodium

and then when you’re low in potassium

guess what your body retains sodium so

it’s like not good

um a lot of problems go away when you

increase potassium especially if you

have any problem with sodium or anything

related to that and with some people

they’re low on sodium and then they’re

low in potassium and so now they don’t

have those key electrolytes to keep

things going so they’re going to be

always tired and things like that so in

some cases they need to take more sea

salt and they make more potassium and to

get that those electrolytes

working and then they’ll feel so much

better so much better because then

they’ll have more volume of fluid in

their body and they’ll have more blood

but um these are really key nutrients to

power the nervous system which is

connected to your muscles

so you’re going to have more nerve

support with as well as muscle power

very good okay next question doc here it

is

all right the primary symptom of low

sodium is fill in the blank climb on it

audience okay let’s see Claire from

YouTube is a low carb diet recommended

for children who are diabetics

especially especially because the very

thing that caused the diabetes in the

first place was too many carbs now if

they have our Diabetic Type 1

that’s an autoimmune condition and they

still need the same diet because then

they can actually at least reduce the

quantity of medication they’re taking

and because I mean that’s a proven fact

if you are a diabetic type one the more

carbs you take the more medication you

need well okay so why don’t we just take

the least amount possible

uh by getting on the right diet

very good of course always monitor your

blood sugars because things will change

like if if you’re afraid if a doctor is

afraid of

patient developing hypoglycemia because

they’re reducing their carbs

well then just make some adjustments on

the medication and watch what happens I

mean it’s just the medication is there

to lower the blood pressure blood sugar

so if your blood sugar comes down and

you’re still taking medication

that would not be logical

all right thank you Dr Berg for that

Anna from Facebook how can I treat

lymphedema

that’s a difficult one

um because the limb system is um

you know when you have the

like the even the valves in the lens

system that are overstretched and you

have these dilation of of the lymph

nodes and um or lymphatic system in your

retaining fluid

um what what I think the best thing to

do is to increase the exercise too

because the lymph system is a passive

system and it needs um it doesn’t have

um like a muscular pumps like the basket

that the arteries do so if you were to

actively stay in motion and do more of

that that would help you to a large

degree

all right very good let’s see

um

Malcolm who’s from Scotland on Facebook

I’m suffering from indigestion and acid

reflux and diarrhea the big Trifecta of

suffering what sort of adjustments do I

need to make uh to my diet so that he

can overcome this terrible thing so so

we have three things there there uh

oh sure there’s he’s got indigestion

acid reflux and to top it off some

diarrhea

this is an easy one very easy anytime

you have indigestion all that means is

you need to get more acid in your

stomach

and what’s going to happen

um then the valve the valve on the top

of the stomach will close so you’ll have

less backup of acid coming into your

esophagus and you’ll probably have more

complete digestion which means it’ll

probably help your diarrhea but don’t

forget to take a probiotic if you have

diarrhea that’s important but um betaine

hydrochloride the betaine hydrochloride

should be your go-to supplement and

sometimes you need

a lot of it so start off with like maybe

three with the meal and then go up I

keep adding one until these symptoms go

away and you may end up taking 10 before

a meal my guitar teacher found out he

had to take like nine or ten

uh for symptoms go away so then you

could go back to consuming his uh

large hamburgers and stuff and I’m like

no no no no that’s not the goal the goal

is to oh get your diet cleared up I know

I know it’s shocking all right very good

well uh what else is not shocking is our

audience’s quick response to our

questions I think I’m going to call us

caught up and the last one asked the

primary symptom of low sodium is 75

percent uh say fatigue or dizziness 15

say headaches and 10 say low blood

pressure any uh any

Geniuses out there there’s one really

big one that happens first and that is

weakness you will feel weak in the

muscles

anytime you feel weak take a little sea

salt and like wow I feel so much better

so that would explain too

um like if you exercising and you feel

kind of weak

um sometimes you just need a little sea

salt and then boom your muscles like

respond I’m not talking about where you

have this you hit the wall where you’re

exercising you deplete your glycogen

that’s completely different I’m talking

about just weakness in general

all right I think we can probably give

that to the 75 percent they say fatigue

and so on maybe you’re on the right

track folks so thank you for that let’s

see Peg from Facebook I have stage three

liver fibrosis and I’ve lost 35 pounds

that’s a great start I am not hungry at

all and have a hard time eating

sufficient salads veggies and protein I

eat once a day around 5 PM what can I do

to supplement my diet

I think you’re on the right track I

would make sure if you have the fibrosis

um is to take tocotranals that’s a

really good one for the liver

the other thing is um

yeah I like the idea of the one meal a

day so what you probably will have to do

is eat your meal and maybe even maybe

I don’t know wait a little bit and then

have your maybe your salad because it is

hard to eat everything in one time so

that it’s always a situation but you can

enhance it with um a greens product a

really high quality one and of course

I’m not going to I’m not biased of my

own greens product but something like

that would be good that’s freeze-dried

that’s uh

um doesn’t have high heat

um one thing I’m looking at

um also recommending is too like if you

had

so you have this huge salad right and

you have a hard time doing all that well

you could also you could eat more

um

you can do Sprouts or these uh mini

greens these uh

these smaller like the little um they’re

called micro greens and that would

actually have

um more concentrated

properties for the liver phytonutrients

and things like that so maybe you can

have a little less of that and get by

with the concentrated nutrition so the

micro greens um

of the wave of the future

um

uh yeah sometimes if you

they’re growing them hydroponic if you

have the if you have the option of

getting them from growing on dirt that

would be better there’s if you happen to

live in

Washington DC or Maryland there’s a

farmer’s market

in Bethesda it’s on Sundays that they

they grow theirs in um

soil and I really like them like that

company but because they’re like doing

it right so you’d stop there and get get

your micro greens

wow I think we’re gonna need a new bell

here Sarah from Facebook has lost 80

plus pounds with fasting and your

Healthy keto since July

thank you Dr Berg that’s a great great

thing to hear Sarah congratulations

fantastic

okay let’s see here’s another boy all

these names giving with a purpose is

asking what are some natural ways to

address narcolepsy I am on several

medications and struggling thank you Dr

Burke

yeah that’s a tough one

um the I think the best thing to do

um well without getting into the history

of what happened just before that

um because I do know that

um that can happen after certain

vaccines which I can’t really talk about

too much right now but I will say

um if you start taking more B1 okay

higher amounts of B1 that can help you

but um I tell you what though I will do

a video I’ll work on the video on that

to give you a more complete answer just

to give you the whole whole scoop

all right well uh Abraham from Modesto

California seems like a nice fellow so

uh we will put him on in the hopes that

that’s true go ahead with your one

question Abraham

yes hi Dr Berg hello

um

I just want to know if I could still

lose fat without having my gallbladder

oh yeah absolutely you could you can do

fine you could actually consume more fat

it just just a matter here’s what’s

happening right you don’t have the um

the gallbladder and the gallbladder has

a very important function that is not

emphasized it concentrates that bile

that means that if you don’t have a

gallbladder

it’s not going to be as concentrated so

you might not get the complete breakdown

of that fat so you have two things you

got the bile and then it releases a

pancreas that helps you break down from

an enzyme standpoint so you have this

mixture here that’s going on so

um I would take some bile salts right

after the meal maybe a few and I think

you’d be fine I think you’ll be totally

fine and now the way that you know that

it’s working

is that if your stool is floating that

means that there’s fat in the stool that

means it’s not it’s not working so you

need more of this bile if it if your

stool is dark and tarry and it leaves a

skid mark that means you might need help

from the pancreas you need enzymes

specially lipase if the stool is

light colored and pale or gray that

means you need more bile if you have

diarrhea you’ve taken too much

so these just little indications of how

to make the adjustments without doing a

expensive test

I have been trying

your gallbladder formula here

okay good then also

um you might you might it might be like

one or two might be enough so I think uh

I think you’ll be fine on that first and

some people

um somehow um

the way the Ducks adapt they even grow a

gallbladder back I’m not kidding so who

knows you might grow on back

well that that’s great well thanks so

much Abraham I’m going to award you the

award for the most succinct question

we’ve ever had on our show and that is

fantastic and we wish you all the best

uh Sans gallbladder uh you know as you

move forward all right let’s see let’s

go back to social media uh

uh oh here we go choose uh choose Joy is

is the name from YouTube what are the

best natural ways to treat

hypothyroidism and Graves disease

well I always like when people ask me

questions to treat diseases

um and of course

check with your doctor but it’s an

autoimmune disease so it’s a it’s more

than a thyroid problem it’s an

autoimmune disease so the thyroid is

working too hard and um there’s a lot of

triggers to this

um

it’s funny that I just talked about B1

being a remedy for so many things but B1

is a good remedy

not to handle it but to help it but the

other key remedy would be vitamin D3

large amounts because that will reduce

the inflammation

but again you know

you know you work hopefully you’re

working with your doctor that can make

these adjustments to slow things down a

bit because

um you know you have a lot of

complications the heart working harder

and your eyeballs you know bulging out

and things like that so

um

it’s an autoimmune which chances are

something may have been triggered in the

gut

uh and now your immune system is kind of

inappropriately responding

so vitamin D is the best way to at least

reduce the um the inflammation part of

it which might might just put that whole

thing in remission

all right very good next question sir

this is a true false sir

okay true or false

if you have polyps in your colon your

risk for colon cancer

is very high

All Right audience climb onto that one I

can’t believe Terry you making this up

mask of Sanity is our latest

questionnaire from YouTube what is the

best uh in your opinion thiamin or

benphotamine

well um it depends if you have any type

of neurological problems let’s say you

have peripheral neuropathy and your your

fingers or your feet or you have um

Dementia or you you have Alzheimer’s and

you’re taking this bin you should take

but Ben photamine because it’s a fat

soluble vitamin that penetrates the

brain and nervous system because it’s a

it’s related to the fat membranes but

for other things

um you can just do a natural B1 that

will work just just fine like for

example one of the big reasons people

take B1 is because they have this

nervous energy and stress that they have

to reduce boy within minutes you’ll just

feel like oh I can I feel relaxed you

know so you can get that from

nutritional yeast or just in a

supplement form

um

yes very good okay Christy from Facebook

how can I do healthy keto if I’m prone

to kidney stones

just take

um Regular

um amounts of lemon in your water I

would recommend just taking the whole

lemon just blending one with water and

and maybe a little electrolytes in there

as a drink in the morning that would be

really great but also the most important

thing is to take consume at least two

and a half liters of

fluids a day and that way it’ll keep

your urine from becoming super saturated

and developing a stone regardless if

you’re prone to stones or not it’d be

almost impossible to get a stone if

you’re drinking this fluid on a regular

basis so

that’s what I would recommend

and um also I you know I

um I don’t do many commercials for my

products or even

um other products but every once in a

while I find a good product

um that I endorse and this product I’m

going to show you right now I have no

affiliation with the company never even

contacted them but I found a I was at

the store and I found this interesting

grain-free grain free cracker that I

really was impressed and I’ll tell you

why I’m just gonna

you know when I found a good product I

like to tell people about it so you can

see this is uh

by who

hu I guess it’s called grain free

cracker let me just tell you what I like

about this um no tapioca no gluten no

grains

no sunflower oil no lecithin no seed or

vegetable oils no maltodextrin hey you

got me right there that’s awesome

nowhere fine starches because so many of

these crackers have tapioca starch or

other starches that are potato starch

that are these and they call it keto

right so what does this have in it it

has uh almond cassava organic coconut

flour perfect organic sesame seed chia

seed onion sea salt flax seed

and uh garlic and rosemary extract so I

was like Wow and it it’s not too bad

it’s it tastes tastes great when you put

like your cheese on it or something but

uh it’s always hard to find a good

cracker that doesn’t have these other

things in it so

um yeah this is a

no Kickback endorsement

they also have other chocolates with

with sweet and things like that I don’t

recommend those but this is one product

that I would definitely recommend if

someone wanted to get a cracker not as a

snack but you know with the meal very

good okay latest question asked was a

true falser if you have polyps your risk

of colon cancer will be high and the

audience has addressed this 65 percent

respondents say that that’s true and the

other 35 percent say it’s absolutely

false

you know this is actually false it’s not

as common like there’s I’m gonna do a

video on this but there’s like four main

kinds of polyps right and 80 of the time

you really only have like a two percent

chance of of having it turn into cancer

so the great majority of time they’re

benign so you don’t have to freak out if

you have a polyp

um so that’s good news

um but if you do have a polyp

um

you know just um

it’s just another motivation to eat

clean you know because really what

you’re dealing with is your food and um

yes smoking can be a factor

um but also the food so as long as you

eat healthy and do the right things um

many times it’s going to be benign the

majority of time is going to be benign

so you don’t have to freak out too bad

on that

um so stay tuned for a video on more

details very good we’re gonna go to

Michael our last person in the green

room but first let’s kick out another

question

all right true or false E coli okay

creates B vitamins okay and helps you

break down lactose milk sugar

that’s true or false

all right climb on that and Michael

you’re on with Dr bird

thanks can you hear me okay yes thanks

for having me on so I’m an audio nerd

and uh self-made home engineer I don’t

do too much but uh I do have tinnitus

and I want to give everybody a pro tip

about that method where you cup your

ears and flick the base of your skull

add one of these to the base of your

skull don’t know what brand it is but it

works wonders way better than the

fingers so I’m one of those people that

still uses cotton swabs and I know I

shouldn’t but a couple of weeks ago I

ended up digging a little bit too hard

and I think I may have caused a little

bit of damage to the membrane in my ear

and I’m a little bit concerned about it

so I do have an appointment with an ENT

and of course that takes a couple of

weeks and you I just want to know how do

I nurse that and appropriately do it

I’ve heard earplugs and a little bit of

petroleum jelly but what should I do

yeah um yeah they’ll be able to look and

see if there’s any damage I think if it

was ruptured you would know it so it’s

probably just irritated and it could be

just um you know just going to take some

time to heal and sometimes when you have

inner ear damage it it could take some

weeks to actually heal depending on how

much uh bruising or irritation there is

um I would I wouldn’t add too many

things into the ear

um you have a normal layer of Flora so

you want that you know that protects

things so you start taking that out too

hard and then all of a sudden now you’re

susceptible to getting infections and

stuff like that also there’s an

eustachian tube a hole in the back of

your throat that goes in the back of the

ear

um and um a lot of times if you have

sinus issues uh that you can you can

create more irritation but I think what

I would do if I were you is I just kind

of leave it alone right now and just and

see what’s in there but

um you know there are people that um

they’ve they’ve done some damage to the

ear

um and they have a reincurrent microbial

imbalances and stuff like that and in

that case what they do is they take um

just a diluted

um bit of kimchi juice just they dilute

that a little bit and they just put a

couple drops in there to get the Flora

back going because that’s they have

microbes that are really good for

the sinuses as well as the inner ear but

you have a whole inner microbial life

form in there that’s protecting you and

things like that so

um

when I’m not doing cotton swabs because

I’m going to stop what should I do to

normally get the earwax out there’s

there’s different there’s different uh

gentle

um

washes their different fluids of I think

one would be sailing without any

chemicals that you can gently kind of

flush out the ear

um but also

I mean

I think it’s totally okay to take a

cotton squab and just go superficially

just very gently in that area I think

that’s fine the problem is when people

go too deep or they go too hard and they

start you know just like you’re just

like if they clean your face you’re

scrubbing too hard you’re just like and

then you end up with all sorts of issues

so I think if you’re just gentle gentle

you’ll be fine but that’s a really good

tip on that um that massager that you

have in the back of the neck I’ll have

to uh

um update a video on that because that

probably gives you a lot of uh quick

stimulation in the back of the occiput

especially right after Loud Music and

concert yeah right exactly

all right that sounds great well thank

you so much Michael and thanks for

hanging in with us as our last I

responded from The Green Room and that

was a great question uh and I hope that

that helps you out we’ve got answers

we’ve got answers the latest one true

false E coli creates vitamins and helps

you break down lactose

uh let’s see

uh 55 say it’s true and 45 say it’s

false doc how are they doing we’re very

much against uh this E coli because uh

people are freaked out about it but you

know that we have a quite a bit of E

coli that naturally is in our guts uh

it’s in animal guts and basically it’s

uh it’s friendly

um it makes bevadas B1 B2 B6 B12 and um

it’s it’s when the environment changes

that becomes pathogenic

so it can morph over into an unhealthy

strain but if you’re growing food on

good soils and or eating animals that

have not had antibiotics which

can then change the environment and

cause these unhealthy strains then

you’re going to be fine so

um

so that’s interesting yeah E coli is a

uh it’s not normally unfriendly until

you piss it off so take care of your

guts don’t upset them and uh antibiotics

are the biggest culprit and

unfortunately like 80 percent of the

antibiotics

are used in animal feeds and things like

that or Adam For Animals agricultural so

um that’s how we’re getting it

indirectly then we get these all

resistant strains that you can’t kill

anymore so it’s a problem all right very

good we’re going to go to Barbara from

YouTube and answer her question after we

put up the last question interested to

hear the answer to this one

what is the only sugar that won’t spike

your blood sugars and I’m not talking

about sugar alcohols or artificial

sweeteners and talking about sugar like

what’s the only one that will not

increase your blood sugars how about

that one I’m dying to know the answer

and I’m sure our audience is too

research hard okay we promised to go to

Barber from YouTube and here we go I

have a problem with acid reflux and it

even triggers by a glass of water it’s

triggered by a glass of water what’s

wrong with poor Barbara

um

well I think that um

I think what I would do is I would um

instead of

well like when you eat for example just

don’t drink any water because I you’re

gonna maybe dilute the acid and that can

actually create more acid reflux and I

think your valve your valve on the top

of the stomach is not closing because

you don’t have enough acid and it sounds

logical because you think wow I have too

much acid I need to alkalize my stomach

and then it always gets worse so

um what I would recommend is um watch my

videos in heartburn and acid reflux and

you actually take betaine hydrochloride

the only time you wouldn’t is if you

took if you had something like um

like gastritis or an ulcer and I talk

about what to do for that but typically

um the way you correct it is by taking

this butane hydrochloride reestablishing

the hydrochloric acid so the top of the

valve can close and

um

and those symptoms will go away

but don’t definitely don’t drink for

your situation don’t drink water or

liquids like right around the meal

um

yeah all right very good and that begs

that we asked the question from

Christine uh what’s the best way to

treat Barrett’s esophagus that’s a nasty

one

same thing same thing you wanted to take

betaine hydrochloride because what’s

happening is we have

not just acid coming up into the

esophagus we have the um

enzymes okay they’re really powerful

protein enzymes like protease enzyme

that comes up there that starts

digesting your own protein your

esophagus the cartilage in there so it’s

all about keeping that valve shut and

tight

um

some of the problem can also be a lack

of B1

because B1

helps make acid because uh of the vagus

nerve and the acetylcholine that control

and then you also have um

just the acid itself just from what

you’ve eaten in the past so watch my

most recent video on digestion where I

talk about taking more B1 to actually

help this acid problem and it can even

support

uh the valves from from an angle of the

autonomic nervous system innervation

there so there’s things that you can do

naturally

well audience I’m really in your debt

because I would probably have been

written up uh if I because I started the

quizzes too late but we’ve gotten to all

of them and the last one asked what is

the only sugar that won’t spike your

blood sugar and I’m rooting for your

audience of which 45 say Stevia 15 say

monk fruit sugar 10 percent say natural

sugars found in fruits oops and

vegetables 10 say honey wow ten percent

say erythritol which you said don’t say

and 10 say coconut sugar

okay so we’ll answer this next month on

the uh no I’m just kidding

um now the answer is fructose now hear

me out

um when you check your blood sugar right

you ever notice

um they’re checking the blood glucose

level

not the blood fructose level

it’s glucose so when you consume

fructose it doesn’t automatically just

turn into glucose so it doesn’t actually

even

um show up in the blood it gets absorbed

and then goes to the liver but some of

it’s undigested it’s slower

um but here’s the catch-22

fructose is uh very low on the glycemic

index compared to glucose so fructose is

very low which it won’t spike your blood

sugar and so they at first thought hey

this is great we’re going to give it to

diabetics and we can sell it at the

grocery store and people will buy it as

a sweetener and then they found out

um whoops that’s a big mistake because

the liver is like the only organ that

can ask it is forced to deal with this

sugar and it quickly very quickly

we’ll start building up glycogen and

then convert to Fat triglycerides really

fat really fat fast and then that

creates insulin resistance so you’re

going to create more of a problem with

your blood sugars indirectly than just

raising your blood sugar

so it’s actually worse than glucose if

you have it and especially in the high

fructose corn syrup

um but some of the sugar

especially if it’s in Fruit

um kind of passes on into the intestine

and and starts feeding the microbes and

boy do they like that and so they just

go crazy and you start getting all sorts

of gas and this is why a lot of times

when people eat fruit they gas out too

much because you’re feeding these

microbes and they’re just loving it

they’re thanking you for it but it’s not

always a good thing so um

that would is the only sugar and I’m not

recommending it

all right very good uh but you did

recommend that those cool uh who

crackers and we’re getting several

comments from that asking won’t the

cassava flower disrupt ketosis

so cassava flour

um it’s it’s a type of it’s there’s very

small amounts of it it’s out of all the

different flowers

um it’s probably the a a good one to

take compared to everything else okay in

a cracker and also um it’s it is

considered a resistant starch

um so it’s definitely gonna be fine in

small small amounts compared to

everything else you know the tapioca the

potato

um so I don’t recommend consuming

cassava in large amounts but if you if

you take a look at all the ingredients

out there that they’re using now with

these so-called keto snacks especially

they’re using dextrose they’re using

corn soluble

um

starch and

corn fiber and soy and all this stuff

cassava would be something that’s a lot

better than these other ones so

um

yeah that’s why I recommend and also

there’s no grains I mean there’s no also

um that darn hidden maltodextrin which

is all synthetic

so these are things that are a lot of

the new fibers now that they’re putting

in all these keto things are untested

long term and so I think what they’re

going to find is that um

like oh we shouldn’t have recommended

this because it creates a lot of bowel

problems and digestive issues and blah

blah blah sorry just just like for

example Steve you know how many years

have doctors recommended like an aspirin

a day

for uh

if you have heart problems a long time

yeah now they’re saying the even there’s

a study about the AMA they said that uh

well you know we found that it actually

does not increase

the outcomes that we thought I mean all

these years and then they find out that

wow maybe we shouldn’t recommend it this

is happening so much with so many

different things

after a while you know your trust goes

down in some of these recommendations so

um you want to stick with something that

is a

that stood the test of time okay very

good I know we’re running out of time

but we have an emergency Dr Burke Daniel

from Facebook has had non-stop hiccups

for three days now he’s got to be sick

of that any any recommendations for poor

Daniel

well I did a video on this

um you know you you

um it’s a bit of a autonomic nervous

system glitch in the circuitry

um you know I’m sure you try to drink a

glass water upside down but I would take

some B1 get some B1 and start taking

that immediately to stop it and also I

would do things to support the

gallbladder because sometimes you could

have some congestion in the gallbladder

and that could be irritating uh the

neurological reflex that’s occurring so

you may even want to try look up my

video on gallbladder flushing and

manually massage the gallbladder and the

even the pancreas underneath your

stomach to create more space in there it

could be congested I had one lady that

came in my clinic and she she had

chronic burping for the entire year and

it happened after she did this

um protein powder a low fat protein

powder mix that the weight loss doctor

gave her who by the way who’s who’s

obese and um

it’s like a if you go to a dentist and

they have their have a rotten teeth

um you might want to think twice but um

so it was a gallbladder it got just

completely messed with the gallbladder

and she had this burping thing so that’s

what I would recommend if I were you

all righty well guess what time it is

Doc yes well I appreciate all the

wonderful questions and the comments and

the attention I read the comments and uh

stay tuned for some more in more data

more knowledge so have a great weekend

and we’ll see you next week
