hey it’s Dr. Berg here in this video we’re going to talk about the amazing

gallbladder part 3 in part 1 we talked about the function of the gallbladder

and it releases bile to help you break down fats in part two we talked about

referred pain in all the different pain sources it can go to that are up in the

right shoulder blade and neck and area right here and then now in part three

we’re going to talk about some additional important functions that you

need to know the other thing that I wanted to mention is that one of the

triggers for production of bile is to have a very strong acid in your stomach

if you know anything about pH when the pH goes down that’s more that’s more

acid if it goes up it’s less acid and so if you go from a pH between 1 and 3

that’s like battery acid it’s so strong and that is the acid that you need in

your stomach when the acid starts going up to high then like a 4 or 5 you’re not

going to be able to release the bile from this and the way that you’re going

to know that you lose your stomach acids is the valve on top of the stomach that

keeps the acid into the stomach will start opening up they call that GERD so

GERD really or acid reflux is low stomach acids not high stomach acids and

those low stomach acids are not able to trigger the closure of that valve and

that in the acid reflux will splash up into the esophagus so so if you if you

have acid reflux or GERD then we know you’re not going to have enough bile

okay so that’s just an indication to a clue to be able to kind of think with

this system and how it works they’re both connected so you want to understand

the whole situation and just in the side note one of the most common reasons why

people don’t have enough stomach acid is they’re on low sodium diets so when you

or salt diets sodium chloride chloride helps break up to make hydrochloric acid

and if you don’t have enough salt like people are having a low salt diet you

start your pH becomes more alkaline and you have a lot of digestive problems so

that’s as side note okay now if this bile is in

sufficient amounts you’ll be able to absorb vitamin A and but if you don’t

have enough bile your vitamin A deficiency will manifest as night

blindness can’t see in the dark it’s difficult to see when the headlights are

shining in your eye also your skin will be dry you’ll have all sorts of problems

with your skin little lose little bumps all over the place and also the lining

of your skin on the inside of your sinuses and your throat will be affected

so laryngitis sinusitis anything internal the lining on the inside of

your body is controlled by vitamin A so here you are taking all this vitamin A

but it’s not working because you don’t have enough bile right you may see

because bile is recycled you may not have enough because it’s not being

recycled or it’s just not being produced and so I always recommend to take some

purified bile salts to be able to see if that helps you and if it does then we

know we can start to improve the your own body’s production but it’s a real

simple inexpensive way to test to see if that is your problem okay and again I’m

not diagnosing any diseases here these this is just stuff to think with so you

and your doctor can work together and give them other solutions other than

removing this thing okay so we’ve added vitamin A also if

you’re low in vitamin A you’re going to get acne I mean take a look at Accutane

what does that contain that’s for acne what is it it’s concentrated vitamin A

but it’s in a toxic amount that’s why there’s a lot of side effects so if you

have enough vitamin A because you have enough bile you’re probably not

going to get acne okay vitamin D is vitamin D important oh my goodness

vitamin D basically controls the absorption of calcium and so if you

can’t absorb calcium you have all sorts of issues calcium is not just bone

building but it has to do with muscle and heart contraction it has to do with

cellular communication it has to do with improving the immune system it has a lot

to do with a lot of different functions because it’s the main mineral that helps

communication between the cells it actually carries hormones between cells

so vitamin D is very important and so people a lot of times are so low vitamin

D levels but it’s not because they’re not consuming food with vitamin D it’s

because they don’t have enough power to absorb it yeah so so how do you know if

you don’t have enough bile well just go down the list do I have bloating burping belching

constipation do I have right shoulder pain these are just you know classic symptoms

of low bile ok vitamin D now we have vitamin k2 this is a really important

vitamin I talked about in some of the other videos but vitamin k2 is different

than vitamin k1 vitamin k2 is a calcium transporter it basically keeps the

calcium out of the soft tissues now if you look at a lot of health conditions

whether you’re getting older and you’re getting stiffer you’re getting arthritis

hardening of the arteries it’s going to cause high blood pressure strokes

because there’s calcium plaquing in the brain

cataracts on the eye that’s calcium in the eye kidney stones gallstones

spurring all this extra calcium in the soft tissues that is because you don’t

have enough vitamin K that’s why and so if you’re taking vitamin K and you don’t

see improvement in this calcium issue it’s because you probably don’t

have enough bile so you have to think of the things the cascade effect that can

happen you have to think backwards and see what’s before vitamin K2 vitamin

k2 is in all the grass fed animal products like grass-fed butter grass-fed

beef you know that type of thing it’s in a lot of the things that people are

telling you to avoid they say avoid fat well you need vitamin k2 I take it as a

supplement because I I have a lot of soft tissue calcium because of my old

injuries and the spurring in my back that I had so I’m using that to help

clean that up the k2 is really important in a lot of

conditions especially if your body’s getting stiff and it’s turning into a

stone but again we want to make sure we have enough bilel so soft tissue calcium

issues can be caused by lack of bile all right so that’s part three I’ll see

you in a part 4
