hey dr. Berg here in this video we’re

going to talk about the most common

cause of disease what I believe is the

real underlying root issue and yes you

guessed it it’s sugar but let me just

explain the mechanism what occurs in the

body the average person in the u.s.

consumes a hundred and forty pounds of

sugar in their diet every single year

but that doesn’t even count the hidden

sugars from the breads pasta cereal

crackers biscuits while waffles wine

alcohol baby food it’s in everything I

mean that’s just outrageous so what

happens is all that sugar gets into your

bloodstream and then there’s a hormone

called insulin and what it does is it

basically just pulls the sugar out of

the blood and insulin is made by a gland

called the pancreas now the pancreas has

these little cells called beta cells

right beta cells are the cell that makes

the insulin that lowers the sugar it

gets the sugar out because you’re too

much sugar is deadly our bodies were

never designed to consume that much

concentrated sugar I had a patient come

in the other day

she’s consuming two liters of juice a

day at another patient consuming a

six-pack of soda every single day not

every single week and they’re not even

eight ounces they’re actually 12 ounces

or 6 12 ounce sodas a day I don’t know

how she’s alive that it’s our bodies

just are not designed to consume that

much jet fuel and what happens is it

really puts stress on this cell this

beta cell here because it’s constantly

like pumping out tons and tons and tons

of insulin so over time what happens is

that the the receptor that’s supposed to

kind of take in the insulin so receptors

not receiving it actually starts to

become very resistant of insulin so what

what happens with the sugars it all

occurs in the liver so there’s a lot of

insulin sugar metabolism in the liver

and so goes in the liver

it locks into the liver through receptor

and is supposed to create a certain

effect like lowering of sugar right well

what happens you eventually end up with

something called diabetes type 2 which

is a lesser problem than type 1 type 1

is more serious type 2 is less serious

but it’s still considered disease so

diabetes type 2 is simply too much it’s

a high sugar situation is too much sugar

in the blood so they label you as

diabetes type 2 now what happens really

is your body is simply trying to reject

this insulin by causing the receptor to

stop receiving insulin okay so that’s

what diabetes type 2 it’s really a

receptor problem in the liver it’s

rejecting insulin it’s saying I don’t

want enough I had enough it’s like if

you have people talk to you too much and

you’re close you’re something’s like

talk to the hand don’t talk to me

anymore that’s what’s really happening

and so what happens now the answer sugar

goes up and that’s very dangerous

because you can have a coma you can have

all sorts of mental cognitive issues

you’re going to be irritable you’re

going to be tired you’re going to have

nerve problems and vision problems and

there’s a lot of side effects so you’re

going to belly fat cholesterol high

blood pressure goes right down the list

okay so that’s pretty much what happens

at this level

alright so now they’re labeled as

diabetes type 2 by the doctor and then

they’re treated by either metformin or

glucophage which are the same thing

metformin is comes from a an herb called

goats roux but you can’t patent go

through so they basically synthesize and

synthetically and then they basically

met they actually created metformin what

metformin does is all it does is it

makes this receptor receive the insulin

better so basically what it does is it

makes this connect better that’s all it

does but it’s it’s kind of forcing your

body to connect when it shouldn’t and

that’s the problem that’s why it gives

side effects so if

people take too much metformin they can

get a condition called lactic acidosis

that’s a fancy word for you’re getting

too much acid in your blood and you’re

depriving your not depleting your oxygen

so if you can envision working out

really hard and your muscles get full of

lactic acid and you can’t you can’t

breathe anymore because you’re out of

breath and you’re huffing and puffing

and that’s the same thing at lactic

acidosis occurs in the blood so you

decrease oxygen and you’re going to have

all sorts of hyperventilation and

breathing problems that’s one of the

side effects with metformin and there’s

another side effect called liver failure

and kidney failure so these things don’t

come without side effects right now

what’s very very very sad is there’s not

this connection between what you put in

your body in your diet

and the correction of this issue instead

it’s the labeling and the treatment the

management of symptom over time it’s not

very profitable to make this link and to

actually have the person stop eating all

this sugar it’s much more profitable

than manage the symptom and continue the

diet I would say 9 out of 10 patients

coming in have not been changing your

diet the doctor to really talk about

diet change other than portion control

now if you look at the American Diabetes

Association I think it’s called Diabetes

org they have the I think it’s the 7

myths of diabetes and this is like

almost comical they said myth number one

sugar caused diabetes they said that’s a

myth all right

they said it’s a myth that starches will

cause diabetes and it goes on on a

listen you can go ahead and read it it’s

ridiculous and the problem is that

they’re there they’re assigning cause to

obesity like obesity is causing this

diabetes as the culprit and what they’re

telling you is genetic or there’s

environmental factors and obesity is a

risk factor it’s linked to obesity so

there’s really no cause effect it’s

mainly there’s risk factors its genetic

we don’t really know yet it’s the causes

unknown we don’t understand this so

unfortunately the the American Diabetes

Association is

funded it was in the past I don’t know

if it’s still being funded 23 million

dollars by the pharmaceutical companies

and the food manufacturing company so we

know that that credibility has been lost

just from that funding link but the

point is that this whole link here is

ignored and they’ll pretty much tell you

that we do recommend you reduce some of

the juices that you consume but not for

the sake of the insulin problem or the

sugar problem but because of portion

control because their whole thing is to

lower the calories so you see the

confusion what they’re doing I mean it’s

so so classic so if you have diabetes if

you want to prevent diabetes if you have

family that you care about and friends

you care about please show them this

video teach them these simple concepts

but this is the underlying source of

diabetes and then eventually it wears

out and goes into type 1 diabetes in

which basically they have to be injected

by insulin and if we come back over here

to the pancreas type 1 is basically the

complete exhaustion and breakdown on the

beta cell and so now you don’t produce

any insulin in it anymore okay so that’s

pretty much the simplicity of the most

common cause of disease and got to get

the junk out of the trunk get the sugar

out of the trunk and definitely you know

spread the word this is dr. Berg I hope

this helped
