thank you

all right welcome back everyone have a

great show I have a lot of people lined

up a lot of good questions and of course

anything that I say is definitely not

meant to replace any type of um chemical

treatments or drug treatments um

take what we say with a grain of salt if

you become cured don’t mention our names

and uh uh especially if you’re using

natural

remedies that have very minimal side

effects

all right Steve let’s Dive Right In all

right why don’t uh answer some questions

very good let’s kick it off with um

uh with our social media crowd which is

enormous in this case YouTube John from

YouTube I recently discovered blood in

my mucus what is wrong how can I fix

this now he didn’t discuss where I

assume it’s from his whatever nose or

something what’s wrong with John

a lot of times I mean when you have a

sinus congestion there’s irritation

there’s going to be some blood I it’s

not too much of a concern of course I’m

not trying to diagnose you but I

wouldn’t worry about it too much unless

um it continues and um you know when it

if you if you have some type of

infection in the sinus it’s a lot of

times there is blood but let’s say you

don’t and you have a nosebleed

um that can be a vitamin C deficiency

possibly or even a vitamin D deficiency

so those are the two things I would look

from a nutritional standpoint of course

um if it’s not then check with your

doctor and figure out what what’s going

on

very good okay back to social media

again from YouTube Lee nutta from

YouTube I have been struggling with

weakness for years and am easily

agitated I just find it hard to calm

down I also have a brain fog and thyroid

fibroid that sort of Rhymes help

um how can we help uh well if we take

most of those symptoms

I’m kind of just going through my mind

like what could that be that most of the

symptoms relate to a B1 deficiency uh

agitation

um

and so I think if you took um

some thymine

um

from nutritional yeast or just I mean I

think you would actually and try to find

the natural version of course the

nutritional yeast make sure it’s not

fortified with the synthetics and I

think if you did that you would feel a

lot better within probably about three

to four minutes

um but uh B1

will help you with brain fog but of

course you have to understand maybe why

you became deficient in B1 and that has

to do with these things called

carbohydrates sugar pasta things like

that

um when you consume more sugar or carbs

the requirement for B goes way up and

many people if they’re doing that they

don’t take the B and they end up with

all the side effects of this

this material that creates blood sugar

issues and a lot of deficiencies so B1

is a really powerful simple remedy that

I would I would jump on boy and I’ll

tell you just from personal uh

experience all the symptoms she

described it’s just me eating like crap

you know when I eat tons of sugar and

carburets I’m just carbohydrates I’m

just out of it uh mentally I’ve been

there I had the T-shirt I totally

understand oh that’s terrible so go girl

okay next up Aphrodite I like that from

Facebook YouTube Excuse me and she wants

to know if keto is safe for someone with

the awful condition MS

it’s essential it’s essential because

keto is going to reduce inflammation

especially of the brain you want that

brain to run off ketones not glucose and

so you want to convert over the field

fuel to low carbs to get your body

burning ketones which is going to feed

the brain

um

you know make sure you take a lot more

vitamin D3

but boy if you have MS

um you need to be on keto desperately

and start doing fasting

some prolonged fasting because you’ll

actually regrow brain cells and I think

you’ll do much much better

all right very good now I’m sure the

audience is coming out with pitchforks

and torches because I haven’t introduced

the first question yet so let’s let’s

give them what they want there you go

doc

okay so the first question is the most

common vitamin deficiency in numb hands

is fill in the blank drum roll folks

okay get on that which you always do and

why don’t we kick it over to the um

the green room and I’m going to

selfishly start with Cameron he’s from

the highlands in Northern Scotland and

he’s gonna he knows I’ve shared with him

but I’m going to Scotland with my

daughter in a few months and he’s going

to give me advice on how to avoid haggis

at all possible costs so uh anyway let

me get him on here and Cameron you sir

are on with Dr Berg

hi Dr Berg thanks for having me on

so my question today is on eye floaters

in last week’s life he said there’s no

blood vessels in the eye and no

lymphatic system so with the signs of

things it’s a closed system if that were

the case how can autophagy work and how

can MSM work or is that particular

product just a suppressant yeah so when

I meant no blood vessels in the eye I

met no blood vessels in the lens of the

eye

which is uh they have a lot of blood

vessels in the eye but uh in the lens of

the eye so it gets its nutrition

um osmotically from the fluid around

that lens

and so it’s a very special environment

with its own immune system you can

actually do grafting and there won’t

seem to be any rejection from the immune

system which is interesting so it has

this special immune its own immune

system

um now as far as autophagy to the eye

uh there’s a lot of autophagy going on

but to the lens

um

there must also be a lot of autophagy

going on because it has to withstand

tremendous trauma uh throughout your

life uh and just I mean just think I’m

out think about how much um

oxygen it’s exposed to oxidation and

other things

um but what happens over time is you get

especially if you’re diabetic you get

this uh glycation this uh protein that

starts to create problems and that’s why

the number one problem with the lens is

that glycation from diabetes which is

developing into this um opaque um

material cataracts

so

um

and then you said like the MSM drops

right you were talking about yeah

yeah so that’s uh

um that is going to allow

um

there’s some it can acts as a very very

powerful

antioxidant and um it can hopefully if

it depending on how advanced it is can

help minimize the damage in there and

maybe reverse some of it but it really

depends on how long it’s gone but

there’s been quite a few people that are

successful with those drops it’s worth a

shot

um

MSM is very soluble so it can penetrate

certain things and it doesn’t seem to

have hardly any side effects so it’s

worth a shot

um and what do you have to lose I mean

just a few dollars from that but uh

because when you have um these problems

with the with the vision like what are

you gonna do there’s not a lot of

solutions other than uh

cortisol drive or steroid drops which

then really come with a lot of side

effects so

um

yeah I don’t know if I released that

video or not but I I should be releasing

the video on the on the lens of the eye

very soon so you can get even more

information on that topic but but really

good questions awesome thank you very

much that’s great thank you Cameron of

course I’ll probably run into one of

your many castles up there so won’t that

be oh there’s one there’s one more thing

I want to mention um Steve about the eye

there’s um you know I’ve had a lot of

eye injuries for some reason like my

daughter once when she was really young

had a had an envelope and he was holding

it and hit me from the side and actually

sliced my cornea

ouch so I had a lot of issues with the

eye and so what um

what I found that is was really helpful

for any type of eye injuries if you have

an eye injury you can do a search on

it’s called the oculotrophin PMG

oculotrophone PMG from Standard Process

you take one of those

um I swear within like probably a half

hour all of a sudden your eye just seems

to do better it’s it has certain factors

that support the eye it’s probably one

of the best products for eyes that I’ve

ever seen but it’s mainly for injury to

the eye and um and you just take

probably one before bed

um and uh I always keep some of my

my sea of my warehouse of nutrients and

stuff because uh boy if you need it it’s

something that really comes in handy

well there you go Cameron thanks so much

for joining us we sure appreciate it and

let’s see uh no answers to the question

oh no I’m wrong it was immediate answer

to the question and the question asked

uh the most common vitamin deficiency in

numb hands is and our audience claims at

least 55 percent of them say that it’s

vitamin B12 15 say vitamin B1 15 say

vitamin D and the final 15 say vitamin

B6 any winners

yes B12

I mean B12 is one of those key things

involving

making what’s called myelin sheath which

is the coating around the nerve of the

spinal column especially the spinal

column and um

when you’re deficient in B12 apparently

it affects a certain part of the spinal

column in your neck in your upper back

and it can start to create structural

problems to the point where you can even

see see it on MRI

and that’s going to end up giving you

it’s called paresthesia which is an

altered sensation in the hands and the

feet and that can be numbness tingling

pins and needles burning even coldness

many people with cold feet for example

are really just deficient in B12 from

two two ways one is the

the problem actually coming from your

neck going down into your feet not even

in your lower back necessarily as well

as creating anemia a certain type of

anemia which can also make you cold

and um why are people

um deficient in B12

well as they get older they lose the

stomach acid that’s a big one another

one is the genetic mutation that is very

common it’s probably like 30 percent of

the population has this certain Gene

problem that

doesn’t allow them to absorb folate and

b12 that makes folate work

so they need a product called

methylcobolamine and methylfolate with a

little B6 in there and boy they can feel

so much better if they do that so just

want to bring your awareness up if you

start to get any type of paresthesia in

your hands or your feet

or um even like sometimes neck pain

without an injury it could cut it could

it could be that problem

and um and then if you’re not aware of

that connection boy you could go through

a lot of unnecessary procedures and

expensive treatments without any results

at all but

B12 is really important in the myelin

sheath among many other problems that

you might might experience all right

very good or ever watchful uh producer

Terry says that this next question is a

perfect segue from what you just said

and the question is from Paul on

Facebook I get cold when I eat my hands

and feet stay cold and I get cold very

easily any suggestions I don’t know if

that’s related but there you have it

that’s a good that’s an interesting one

when you eat

um it’s probably your body telling you

need to fast longer I don’t know but um

yeah so

it probably has something to do with

circulation and digestion and I would um

when I did Dark field microscopy which

is uh you’re looking at blood

um I do know there’s a condition that

you have this with people that um

don’t digest proteins that well that can

actually create problems in the blood so

one really good remedy would be betaine

hydrochloride simple remedy to help you

digest protein and that might just heat

you up because it allows you to digest

proteins much better

I think

um it’s always good to play around with

the amount of protein someone consumes

to

um

you know it really varies depending on

age metabolism that type of thing some

people do better with a little less

protein some people do better with more

but um

I know if I have too much protein

I feel a little sluggish I feel sluggish

but I I seem to do really well

at about honest about six to seven

ounces of protein per meal not not more

than that I just do really well if I go

too much I’m like I don’t feel quite

right so it’s good to play around with

the amounts and see what your body needs

interesting okay well uh and I’m not

just interested there’s people all over

the world interested and so let’s give a

shout out to everybody all of our

viewers joining us today from the UK

Tunisia Hungary good grief Jamaica Italy

Kenya Iran Slovakia don’t worry folks

almost done Abu Dhabi Peru and all

across these United States boy a growing

list that is so great that you know we

may have some differences around the

world but I tell you what the way our

health and and emotions and all that are

just absolutely on on tap with each

other so it’s wonderful that everyone

can learn to share these great facts and

findings from Dr Berg and live better

I’m among them thank you folks for that

okay let’s see um PJ from Facebook what

are your thoughts on B12 injections does

that make any difference doc

yeah you know it’s interesting about

when you take an injection of B12 um

you’re bypassing the normal

you know way to absorb it and and for

some people they don’t necessarily have

What’s called the intrinsic factor or

they have stomach problems and they

can’t absorb it I think sublingual would

be a good option but

I talked to a guy

his name was Dr

not Royal Lee but Leo Roy before he died

he’s an old-timer that used to

um

medical doctor who used to give those

B12 injections and he said

I wish I’ve never done it there’s a lot

of problems with it

um that’s what he told me and uh this

was like probably like

it must have been 25 years ago and he

said yeah you don’t want to take your

B12 like that it makes you feel really

good but then you kind of go downhill

after that so it kind of stuck with me I

never found out exactly all the details

to it but um

I don’t know I’m not crazy about um

the vitamin injections and stuff like

that especially they’re probably going

to be synthetic

um

I know the problem with absorption

so why can’t we just do

um higher amounts and um do it that way

there’s a lot of

um people are taking higher amounts of

vitamin D3 or even B12 to penetrate that

barrier but um

yeah I don’t I’m not crazy about the

injections all right very good let’s go

to uh back to social media and Mike from

YouTube Dr Berg would you recommend

ashwagandha for erectile dysfunction

unfortunately that affects a lot of boys

it’s it’s it is a good remedy for

erectile dysfunction it is a good remedy

for sure

um you also want to add zinc zinc is

another good remedy

um and also make sure that your sugar

levels are good you’re on the carb no

carb diet make sure your sleeping is

good I recently did a video on this

topic and

um because I’m always updating things

and I found some great information but

ashwagandha is a really good one because

because it actually helps you reduce

cortisol which will literally create a

problem with your testosterone and other

hormones so ashwagon is a really good

adaptogen

I like it um

and a lot of people are going through

stress Believe It or Not Steve so

anything you do to improve that is a

good thing no kidding let’s see I

there’s one question I wanted and I’ve

lost it all I know is oh here he is

Rocky Rocky from Facebook has lost 50

pounds on keto and intermittent fasting

but now he stopped and he wants to go

down another 30. what should he do on

this plateau

it’s really hard to without information

about him but I think I would go through

the standard things right make sure your

carbs are as low as possible

make sure that you um

you’re doing the exact macros make sure

you’re doing the healthy version of Keto

make sure you’re sleeping really look at

the stress sometimes especially if you

have a slow metabolism and you’re doing

a lot of fat Okay

um well your body’s going to go after

that before your own fat so maybe you

lower the fat a little bit at least

initially and then the last thing to do

which is really important is fast longer

if you’re not doing omad one meal a day

go to one mat one meal a day and for

some people

they need to eat one meal every other

day and that’s what they need

simply because they’re they’re the

insulin resistance is so bad that it’s

going to take something a lot more

powerful to create the change that they

need

now is there any time you just remain

insulin resistant for your life

regardless of your sort of new Behavior

can most people get past that no they

can they can you can always improve

insulin resistance

um but the the time it takes to recover

is a lot of times greater than what you

think I mean it could take months to

even a few years on some people why

because they spent their whole life

eating high carbs like myself and it

really just messes with the uh with the

receptors and then it’s funny because

some people think in their mind

okay when am I going to be corrected so

they’re doing great everything’s good

their blood sugar is normal their

insulin’s down

right and then they think

now that it’s corrected they can go back

to carbs I’m like I think you’re missing

the point

um because what caused it is the higher

amount of carbs so

it is a lifelong thing you have to do it

over a period of time and then stick

with it find something that you can do

long term but it’s

that’s why um

it’s kind of like um I don’t know the

best analogy but

um I fixed my carburetor why do I have

to keep um

feeding at the right kind of gasoline

well because the car runs on certain

maybe non-ethanol gasoline you know

that’s a good comparison so uh let’s see

how about another question doc they’re

itching for it here you go

all right true or false the primary

reason for low mineral levels in plants

is a lack of minerals in the soil

all right dig into that including my

friend Billy Miller who’s out there I

want to give him a shout out so Billy

see if he can answer the question along

with the thousands of other people that

participate weekly on the Dr Berg show

okay why don’t we speaking of

participation we have the lovely Marina

from the UK and uh she has a question

for you right now

hello Dr Burke I’m honored to be chosen

I think I think your mic is I can’t hear

you

oh no I can there we go okay can you can

you hear me now yes

and firstly I wanna I wanna thank you

for having me

um today I would like to ask you a

question about a ketogenic diet on

autistic

person lately I watched one of your

videos explaining how good is that to do

for autistic children but well my my

child is not a no longer child he’s 19

years old but he’s non-verbal

so uh I I watched that my video and I

have some questions please in regards to

ketogenic diet because

um you are mentioning that these

children need to stay away from complete

gluten and also casein now in his case

um he’s he’s very much his lover and I

was wondering if there will be any

alternative to to help him to deal with

the keto diet and I also purchased some

supplements I would like to mention if

you allow me which is a bhakti cleanse

it’s a vitamin K2 B1

tootcom

popcorn de toxodine cod liver oil

ip6 and inosito

and I was con I was considering to do

ceramine treatments but that’s literally

unavailable in UK so please if you can

briefly

advise me please well thank you for that

one question and I’m just being

sarcastic right okay so um I think your

son can do case scene unless he has

analogy

um the best thing you probably can get

better than in the US is um the raw milk

cheeses raw milk cheeses um give you the

probiotics give you the protein and they

give you the calcium that you need

um so if you could find the Ramones

raw milk cheeses oh my God that’s great

cheese yeah

okay so thank you thank you for this

and then um I think those other

supplements sound sound great

um I don’t see a problem with them but

uh now as far as the gluten goes

um

you know there’s there’s some of the

ancient Wheats which I don’t want to get

into that don’t even know they have

gluten it doesn’t seem to create a a

problem with gluten but gluten is the

only protein

that is not digested in humans so we

have a problem with that but the cool

thing about keto is you don’t have to

worry about it because you’re not going

to be consuming grains so that’s

exciting

um but I think

um your your your child I’ll just say

your older child I think they can do

extremely healthy and keto boy if I

would have started at his age it would

have been a I would have been in much

better shape but um

that do the healthy version and then of

course we do have a a great Russian

Channel I’m sure you’re probably already

watching that too with all the different

videos we have con translated to Russian

um you’re probably already looking at

that right now but um

yeah so um

I do I do regular

uh cheese I try to find the raw milk

it’s not easy but um it’s so much better

well that’s great well listen thank you

so much Marina we’d love to hear back

from you on how everything goes with

your family and thank you very much

thanks thank you so much appreciate you

joining us uh and I’ll tell you who else

is always uh watching carefully and

that’s our audience because they

answered that last question in like

milliseconds it’s unbelievable and

there’s a consensus there the question

was the primary it was a true false or

the primary reason for low minerals in

plants is a lack of minerals in soil is

what you ask and 98 of a respondents say

it’s true and there’s two percent

holdouts say nope it’s false

yeah the two percent are correct what

this is this is new information for a

lot of people but um there is a study

and I did a video on it of This research

who went around all around the world

measuring soils and he found that um

there’s not a mineral deficiency in the

soil at all

they’re in there

so what’s going on right because it is

true we have lower trace minerals we

have lower minerals in the plants

so what’s what’s missing in this

equation what is the missing link and it

is

the biology the microbial life the

Diversified of microbes and the bacteria

to fungal ratios in our soils that is

the problem uh there’s some recent

information by Professor James White

which

fascinating guy I just I talked to him a

few days ago and I want to be doing some

experiments that he mentioned but uh

um

a great

majority of the plants nutrition

minerals comes from eating microbes

yeah they actually eat the microbes the

bacteria and then they extract the

nutrients and they spit the micro up to

go back and get more minerals so they

have this exchange so the um apparently

you know plants will try to get it

whatever nutrition it can but it can

also get it passively to some degree

from the minerals being there but the

the microbe is what mobilizes with their

acids and enzymes these minerals and

they bring them back into the plant and

so if you don’t understand that fact you

are going to be susceptible to being

okay with oh let’s sterilize the soil

let’s use glyphosate which is considered

an antibiotic they patent it as

antibiotic you kill off the microbes you

don’t take care of the microbes and now

that poor Plant is dependent on

you know fertilizers and um inputs that

you have to add all these minerals

constantly or or it’s not going to get

anything

so this is huge important information in

um also why when you buy food at the

grocery store and you’re like it just

doesn’t taste like anything well because

it’s probably grown on soils that are

not very rich in microbes

um so when you have your own soil and

you grow it boy it’s such a difference

so this micro connection is a very

important thing and um

and this is another reason why you could

probably

you know you can do a lot better when

you start eating more fermented like

sauerkraut and things like that because

you have this enhanced microbial

um I mean even like uh sauerkraut has

a tremendous amount of vitamin C

and it’s vitamin K2

because of those microbes

um so

another reason why you should have try

to find

a lot of your food from the farmer’s

market or Farmers that really care about

growing and we are going to be having a

a new YouTube channel on how to grow

your own food like really healthy right

not even in your backyard in your house

wow okay not hydroponic not hydroponic

either but we’re going to show you how

to do that

um very soon I’m very excited about that

but um that way you can for pennies grow

your own food and at least your salad

and your greens and make it really

healthy so stay tuned for that boy

that’s exciting but audience the poor

audience 98 of you came up short but I

gotta admit I was with you I was already

gloating thinking I was smart with the

nutrients and all that but anyway we’ve

learned a lot together

uh two percent of you are very smart and

we’ll give the audience another chance

to redeem themselves with the next

question here it is

okay in what way does selenium okay help

your thyroid

all right folks

keep your thyroid healthy and let’s see

by the way we just always love this no

one’s left out uh more people said hey

how about us so let’s do another shout

out to Cuba Albania Argentina uh Bahrain

Slovenia and Zimbabwe so welcome all

your other folks on there from the

African continent and uh we’re glad that

you’re watching and learning okay Marge

from Facebook is there anything I can do

for a hemifacial spasm you ever heard of

that dog

yeah and I just wanna I know probably

some people let me just get back to that

last question real fast just because

there’s one little extra point I know

someone’s going to say oh I disagree

that’s not true there’s certain soils

are missing certain individual nutrients

that’s true that’s absolutely true but

the majority of the minerals generally

speaking are in there um now

there could be a situation you’re just

depleting the heck out of everything and

then you just end up with rocks well the

minerals are on the rocks

and that comes the rocks turn into

eventually the soil from the help of the

microbe we need the microbe to make this

whole process happen we need the fungus

to help break down trees and plants and

everything so

um

anyone that disagrees with that uh

just kind of take the theme of this

these microbial entities that are really

so important and it’s really missing in

our in our food supply as well as in the

soil supply

now as far as the muscles and the

twitching and the spasm of the face

there’s a couple

um

factors to look at you have

some of the electrolytes like magnesium

and even calcium work together and even

potassium and the pH to allow those

minerals to be conducted

through the nervous system and be

conducted through the muscles so to have

everything interact and and not and

avoid these little maybe

um spasms or Twitches or

um

those little um or tetany all these

things that can happen in in the in your

whole body

um many times it’s a Calcium deficiency

but many times it’s also a pH problem uh

you’re not um

you need to acidify the body and because

you can get rid of it by taking like

apple cider vinegar that seems to help

those twitches and muscle spasms that

can occur anywhere in your body in the

calf and your legs

in your face

um and so it’s kind of like when you get

like a little spasm in your face you

either need more calcium magnesium or

you or you need to drop your pH to make

it more acidic

okay very good well next up we’ll go

back to the green room and we have

Abraham from Modesto and he was so well

behaved last time we brought him on

again and he has some great news about

your gallbladder formula go ahead

Abraham you’re on with Dr Burke

hello Dr Burke hi

yes uh we call bladder for me it’s been

working great for me

it’s been helping me with my Digestive

and also

it’s made my stool regular so

the question I do have is how long will

it take not having a gallbladder to lose

or burn fat

well um a lot of the fat that you’re

going to be burning is not really

necessarily going to be coming from

that missing gallbladder that you or the

bile that’s not gonna that’s not really

what breaks down

um the actual fat around your body it’s

mainly from your digestive fat that’s

going to help extract certain things

with the help of the pancreas

um so there’s other enzymes in your body

um that are going to do the breaking

down of fat and what controls that

mechanism

is not bile it is going to be um

insulin having insulin being low enough

to have this um

fat enzyme start act being activated in

the presence of just a little too much

insulin these enzymes are kind of like

oh inactive

so

enzymes do all the work in the body and

they’re they’re controlled by pH by

hormones by just the right environment

so what does all that mean in simple

terms

you’re going to be able to burn burn fat

as long as you keep your carbs low and

you don’t eat too frequently

so

um the bile that’s going to be more for

digestion

okay thank you that’s great a man of few

words but says so much that’s great

thanks again for coming back and and

again we really love people

um you know

um coming back and letting us know the

good news or sometimes you know more

struggles because Dr Berg’s here to help

everyone in that regard all right let’s

see

um quiz question number three which asks

here’s your chance to redeem yourself

audience in what way does selenium help

your thyroid and

um sixty percent of our respondents say

selenium promotes or protects iodine

production 30 say it balances the

operation of thyroid uh and 10 say it

helps with metabolism very lofty

thoughts and answers or do we have any

uh we brought them back into good favor

selenium is involved as a helper for a

lot of different enzymes those things

that that make things work in the body

but specifically for the thyroid it

helps in the this conversion from um T4

to T3 from the inactive thyroid to the

active thyroid so let’s say your thyroid

is sluggish is it that you’re not

producing enough thyroid hormone or is

that you’re not converting the the

active form in which case you need more

selenium so for example in Hashimoto’s

which really comprises over 80 or 90

percent of all

um hypothyroid

problems with the autoimmune the the

real one of the biggest problems is that

conversion factor more than anything so

this is why selenium is even more

important than iodine too much iodine

can be a problem so selenium is um a

trace mineral you don’t need it in large

amounts I mean really I think the rdas

are between 50 and 70 micrograms okay

not milligrams micrograms just tiny

amounts and um

I will be releasing a video on

why selenium

is highest in the Brazil nut out of all

the nuts like that’s pretty odd why

wouldn’t it be in other types of nuts or

plants and stuff like that but it’s in

the Brazil nut it’s another things too

but um

yeah you need that conversion that

activation from the inactive to the

active for sure for it to work

okay now Jermaine from Facebook says I

love love love that you’re addressing

the issue of growing your own food I’m

planning my superfood garden now can’t

wait to watch your new YouTube channel

me too doc the idea of scattering dirt

around my wife’s living room it’s just

such a fun no I we really want to do it

I think that’s really cool and by the

way we tried I got a little cherry

tomatoes out on the balcony and I’m on a

third floor condo and by gosh it works

it’s like magic they grow and I eat them

I don’t know how Healthy Mind ours but

it’s very possible so we’re all excited

about that Dr Burke thanks so much for

uh yeah that’s going to be I have two um

you know I like I might mention I went

all of all over Europe to visit

different farms and I’ve been really

interested in farming I have my own farm

and I found

um two really top Farmers that um I’m

working closely with and they’re just

gonna help me with this YouTube channel

they grow some of the best plan plant a

salad type things and microgreens and

everything on actual soil not hydroponic

which makes a world of difference

because unfortunately when you buy salad

at the grocery store many times it’s

especially in the winter it’s grown

hydroponically

and so you don’t

um well I probably should stop right

there because that’s going to be the

question of the next topic but the point

is these two farmers are going to help

me with this new YouTube channel and

make it really simple so boy you could

um

not be really dependent on anyone but

yourself as far as your food and start

growing some

seriously healthy nutrient dense and uh

my my hat on that is going to be doing

all the testing

um it’ll be some really fascinating

research I’m going to do and I’m going

to share all that with everyone so they

can benefit from the but this where do

you see what we’re going to talk about

where do you see some of the the videos

we’re planning them right now it’s gonna

it’s actually I think it’s gonna be

mind-blowing wow and with Worldwide

inflation and so on that’s an exciting

premise you know to have really healthy

food for less so I think you’re going to

get more people coming on to that let’s

see uh here’s an interesting question uh

uh hemang from YouTube is there a

significant difference in a 23 hour fast

versus a 36 hour fast and what are your

thoughts about using Truvia and

erythritol

yeah if I’m trivia

um I I would have to look at the

ingredients closer I think it’s okay but

I can’t sometimes I think they use monk

fruit and erythritol if I’m not mistaken

just make sure they don’t add any

maltodextrin in there that’s always a

problem with some of these sweeteners

um but as far as the difference between

a 24 and a 36 hour fast yeah it

definitely if you start adding some more

hours in there you’ll you’ll get a

little more bang for your buck

especially for your brain and especially

for the immune system uh the longer you

go boy the magic starts happening now

with about a seven day fast how often

should you do that

every week no

um these longer fast

um now if you have cancer yeah it’s a

necessity you have to do it but I think

um once a year to do a seven day fast

would be perfect I wouldn’t think you

need to do them more frequently unless

you have some health condition that

you’re trying to fix um I like the

period like three day fast I like the

periodic 40 uh two day fast and

um but um

just make sure that you’re um you watch

my videos on that because when people

start reintroducing food there’s a way

to do it

so you don’t want to just eat a lot of

food right after a long uh prolonged

fast that can create a lot of problems I

made those mistakes so I learned from my

mistakes all right very good next up

from the Green Room is harshita now

she’s from India and I love Indian food

so I personally hold the entire

continent responsible for at least 10

pounds of my overgrowth it’s just well

I’m sure I’m sure the uh the Indian food

in America is exactly same the same as

in India I’m sure I’m certain just like

sweet and sour chicken is traditional

Chinese so anyway go ahead and just

start the exact same thing thanks a lot

for a little extra pudginess on my

behalf Hershey to go ahead with Dr Berg

hello Dr Burke first of all thank you so

much for everything you’re doing I’ve

been following you since last six months

and I’ve learned a lot and it has helped

me a lot great so doc I have Sjogren’s

fibromyalgia

hypothyroid asthma

sibo and candida

and I am a lacto of a vegetarian

I have been doing the 20 hour

intermittent fasting

and I’m taking pretty much all your

supplements

um after watching your videos

and I have a lot of opportunity

tightness

upper

tummy tightness and pain

trapezius pain

no it’s um upper tummy pain oh okay

there’s a lot of tightness yeah yeah

okay and I’m very low on energy

constantly yeah

yeah okay so

um I don’t know how to do keto

um on low carbs I’m not doing any sugar

not doing any gluten but I cannot really

do keto with sibo and candida because

I’m confused

all right well can you give me an

example of what your last meal was

yes I had eggs and quinoa okay

so um

I think there’s a couple things you need

to to do

um here’s the problem if you have sibo

this means that there’s the bacteria in

the wrong place it’s in the small

intestine and so when you do quinoa

or even big salads or nuts or beans or

any of these things

wow you’re going to have upper tummy

crampiness why because

you’re getting fermentation in the wrong

place and now we have a very difficult

time to even get rid of candida which is

a

which is in the fungus family that tends

to

reg it’s regulated by

that correct microbiome which you have a

disembalance

I mean I even tell people

um

you know if you’re gonna you this may

not work for your lifestyle but uh being

a carnivore for a couple months might

kind of shock you but that may be the

answer because

how are you going to get rid of the

microbes other than an antibiotic which

we don’t want to do how are you going to

get rid of those microbes um

that that ferment with fiber okay how

are you going to go on a no fiber diet

and um without doing carnivore it’s

almost impossible

um but you are doing eggs so that’s good

um so can you do fish

I can if I have to I would do fish and

eggs and um and just see if you don’t

feel better and then probably take some

betaine hydrochloride to help you

acidify that stomach but what happens is

that even if you take a probiotic if you

took sauerkraut what’s going to happen

is that might create more bloating if

you truly have sibo

but you’re gonna have to um do that

fasting and do do basically some protein

foods make sure they’re like the fish or

seafood or maybe some eggs and uh maybe

even some organ meats and and there’s a

way to do it healthily until that gets

cleared out for a couple months and then

you can start slowly adding in some

Fiber once the microbes are in the gut

that’s where you need them but it’s uh

that’s one thing the other thing with

this fibromyalgia which I’ll be doing a

video on a lot of times fibromyalgia

chronic fatigue syndrome fatigue is

coming from an Epstein-Barr virus which

is in the family of the herpes viruses

and it’s it’s coming out of remission

because you are under some stress that

you can’t seem to kind of fully resolve

that’s a really big factor which people

don’t realize that

this virus like 95 of the population has

it it comes out it kicks you when you’re

down and it can put you in a state of uh

kind of funkiness brain fog and fatigue

and I Don’t Care What vitamin you take

what diet you do it’s not going to work

unless that stress is really confronted

and handled to the point where

um you know you fully resolve it so for

example if you’re I don’t know if your

neighbor is a terrorist okay and uh

you’re under a lot of stress because of

that you’re going to have to move I’m

sorry

um

so these are just things that you’re if

you’re stuck between Rockets exactly you

have to handle it so go ahead sorry

uh my stress the stress is well managed

and I’m taking olive leaf extract

for fibromyalgia I’m also taking

um a lot of digestive formula of yours

forbidden hydrochloride and ACV

so um and I’m playing sequel for energy

oregano oil black garlic gallbladder

formula cod liver oil

electrolytes wheat grass juice powder

I’m taking it all

yeah I think the problem is is the

you’re just um you’re going to have to

avoid fiber you’re going to avoid

any and all

um things that can ferment

so

um you’re gonna have to do more

carnivore uh for a couple months I think

that will be

the key to your success

uh test it out let’s see if my theory is

right come back uh in a couple weeks and

um

I think that’s going to be a solution

for you arshita thanks so much for

coming along with us we really

appreciate it and look forward to you

coming back on here and let us know

about all your great progress okay let’s

hit it with another question Dr Berg a

true falser

all right so true or false adult

broccoli has more nutrients than the

baby AKA sprouted broccoli

All Right audience rip through that one

and why don’t we go back to social media

uh let’s see

I can’t even pronounce that but I’m

going to try it anyway not from Facebook

can you share your thoughts on in m in

nicotinamide uh oh good mononucleotide

seems like a vital factor in promoting

longevity

so there’s um

there’s um

I’m trying to as I’m trying to explain

this I’m trying to keep it really simple

because it’s involved in the

mitochondria it’s a pathway involved in

there to help you make energy and it’s a

product that a lot of people take for

energy and it’s just the reason they

don’t talk too much about it even though

it’s a great product and it’s great for

anti-aging is that

I just don’t want people to say oh he’s

now he’s recommending another pill I

have to take but I like I like it and

it’s um it helps to um especially if

you’re getting older

um it’s we kind of run out of it and it

it’s directly involved in producing

energy now

some people say you know wow I feel like

a

I just had some caffeine but without the

Jitters you know and this type of thing

but it also helps people sleep too

believe it or not so it takes energy to

sleep so some people take it right

before bed and they sleep better but

it’s um it’s mainly um in the in the

family of like an anti-aging supplement

and there’s several different

um forms of that and you can

experiment with it um but it’s uh

definitely we’ll we’ll I think help your

energy and help with longevity and your

sleep and just quality of the the

mitochondria support

um but I try to say this without without

giving you additional Mis big words

because it’s it’s a little complex when

you start getting into that topic okay

very good let’s clean up the Green Room

last but not least is Scott right here

from uh the United States from Loveland

Colorado a nice nice place and Scott if

you’re unmuted you are on with Dr Burr

go ahead with your question please sweet

good morning Dr Berg I want to start off

by saying thank you for helping me lose

uh 40 pounds on keto on the weekdays and

helping with my tachycardia uh my

question today is uh how many

supplements is too many supplements for

background I’ve been having around 12 15

vitamin pills I’m currently working on

omad doing meals such as five Eggs three

cups of rice cauliflower with olive oil

some tablespoons of MCT oil but want to

make sure I’m getting enough vitamins

and minerals when doing a longer fast

for say 48 72 hours plus or when I want

to go to the workout at the gym that I’m

not starving myself but getting what I’m

needed

that’s a really good question

um I’m going to try to keep it really

short good luck with myself but

um the one of the you know some people

say well you don’t need any supplements

well this is where you’re going to find

the food to give you the supplements

that’s the difficult part that’s one of

the reasons why I want to create um a

channel to kind of even grow your own

food so you can get more nutrients and

you’re not dependent on taking a lot of

these supplements

um the way they teach you

um in school of how to recommend

supplements in the natural uh

alternative

field when you go to these postgraduate

seminars and things is that

oh just take the list of symptoms that a

person has and match the different

remedy to the symptom I don’t like that

I don’t like that that’s not true about

it’s like you’re treating symptoms again

but at least there’s less side effects

that’s true so there are a million

different supplements for fatigue or

inflammation or blood sugar problems

right so

um

my whole thing is like um

what really is that one thing that’s

creating the majority of the problem and

let’s support that let’s let’s just take

an average person I think that one thing

for a lot of people but not everyone is

the insulin resistance

so what what’s going to replace support

that

way more important than supplements are

the diet the basic diet get unhealthy

keto and get on intermittent fasting

okay so now there are some basic things

when you do that you need a little more

electrolytes B vitamins trace minerals

those are the

this is the key things uh can you get

enough Sun nowadays no not in the winter

so you’re gonna have to take vitamin D

because you can’t get that from food

um but then we have other factors that

so many people have a lot of

inflammation in the body because they’ve

been eating at the grocery store a lot

of omega-6 oils since soy oils and corn

oil and stuff like that so they need

omega-3 fatty acids uh so we have that

factor and then um

and then one day Dr Burks talks about uh

the DNA and you get your DNA tested

you’re like oh my gosh I have problems

with these genes that I can’t really

absorb B12 or choline oh I need those

now so unfortunately yes um I think um

an average person is going to need a

good handful of supplements but the goal

over

long term is to

be able to eat food that gives you these

supplements and um

but then again I have a very difficult

time finding

um people to work with that are going to

stay clean long enough to do that in you

know there’s a lot of factors involved I

mean I’m just trying to help people

um

maximize their health and eat the right

things but not everyone for some strange

reason will be perfect

um I won’t mention any name Steve but uh

um sometimes it’s you know if you’re

sort of doing it right you’re going to

need more supplements

um if your history has been really bad

with Foods you’re going to need more

supplements and depending on your

genetics you might a little bit more but

ideally it shouldn’t be hundreds of

pills it should be maybe a small amount

on a regular basis and then over time

you just kind of start to wean off that

sorry I recrofit photo to show what’s

going on here and I do want to say I

recognize hey wow I recognize

electrolyte there it is back there and

also your d3k2 is featured there’s a

couple other poisonous products I only

say that because they’re not yours look

at that

yeah I I hear you and it’s um sometimes

you know I’ll have to do more videos on

that because I think there’s a lot to

talk about that how do you wean down to

the stuff you really need and not take

extra stuff uh honestly if you saw my

house

um I would put that to shame because I

have

pretty much everything everything you

could possibly I have like a warehouse

I’m not kidding and I have

um just a lot of stuff because I’m

always experimenting I’m trying this and

that so

um there’s a lot of stuff I don’t tell

people like well that didn’t work I’m

not gonna even mention it I’m not gonna

recommend something that actually even

made me worse or something like that but

I I think it’s a you just kind of gave

me a good idea for another video I think

an important one because

yeah we don’t want to get caught up into

the treating of the symptoms but looks

like you’ve taken some good stuff there

is indeed thank you so much Scott we

appreciate it uh we’re kind of running

out of time here so let’s go back to the

last quiz question uh true false adult

adult broccoli has more nutrients than

baby uh AKA sprouted broccoli and the

audience has an opinion as usual 95

percent say it’s false and five percent

say it’s true I’m worried about the five

percent

you should be worried about five percent

because it’s it’s actually it’s it’s

completely uh

false

um it’s the broccoli Sprouts that have

more nutrition especially in the area of

the phytonutrients because this little

baby plant that’s developing needs extra

things to get it to survive so that seed

releases some

amazing things to to help it do that and

as the plant gets older

those phytonutrients go lower and lower

and lower I’m talking like by a factor

of 50 to 100 times more sulforaphane

which is a

you know Hopkins tried to get the

universe the patents on that because

they found that it’s great as an

anti-cancer

but um and also it’ll actually put H

pylori in remission believe it or not

and it does a lot of other things so

um the broccoli sprouts and the micro

greens

Michael do you know what I like

microgreens even better than Sprouts is

because

well if they’re grown on soil because

you get the benefit of the microbes and

that’s important we’re Sprouts you don’t

really use soil so

um you get an extra boost of microbes

with those microgreens

um no I’m not most of them though are

made hydroponically which I don’t I

don’t like that but uh

anyway we’ll talk more about that in the

upcoming

new channel that I’m going to create on

growing which I have a lot to talk about

okay very good and if I’m my doctor a

burke I want to remind everybody to

download the great Dr Burke app it’s

free it’s available on both the Apple

and Android devices so get that and

it’ll have a bunch of knowledge in the

palm of your hand also Dr Berg I don’t

know if there’s any new word on how

people all around the world can get your

great products but I know you’re working

on that and trying to make them

available uh in different places other

than the contiguous U.S

yeah so we will be doing that we’ll also

be teaching people uh giving him tips on

uh I think a shift to Growing your own

food is going to be smart

um because then you can control it and I

have some

incredible information from these

Farmers especially on how you can do it

in a real simple way I’m really into

Simplicity right inside on your

windowsill and you could you could have

uh growing things and then make your

putting your salad in there and you

it’ll be awesome because uh you’ll be

able to grow it and have your kids be

involved and it’ll be a lot of fun and I

think that’s going to be the wave of the

future

um I also experimented with aeroponic

and hydroponic I have a lot of units

which I’m not going to recommend that

actually I’m not excited about that I

mean in a pinch it’s better than nothing

but you know going back to real just

soil that’s always the best but we’ll

talk about how to also grow your own

soil keep it simple so you can have your

garden too but I I can imagine all

winter long you should be

on your windowsills just be growing your

own your salads and uh

um or micro greens especially and that

would be like a really healthy thing to

do

and on that note Steve

um again I just want to thank everyone

for your wonderful comments and great um

discussions on the YouTube channel and

your attention watching this this far I

appreciate that

um stay tuned for some more content next

week and as well as uh we’ll catch back

up next Friday morning at uh same time

11 o’clock in the morning a.m Eastern

Standard Time
