thank you

welcome back to the show everyone we’re

here with another q a talking about keto

intermittent fasting nutrition anything

that I say is not meant to

provide any preventative or cures or

anything to even get close to curing

anything check with your doctor before

implementing any of these suggestions

all the information I’m going to share

with you are in videos that I’ve done

with

scientific

uh studies to back up what I said you

could research that yourself and look

those up uh but let’s just Dive Right In

Steve and uh I know there’s a lot of

questions and I just like to get us

through as many as we can absolutely so

there’s equal love to everyone both on

social media in our green room and and

so on so let’s start off with social

media this morning Ricky from YouTube

could you please do a video on the

benefits of using mustard oil many

people in South Asia are using uh to

improve their health what are your

thoughts on good old mustard oil doc

well the person becomes the mind it’s

good for cramps at night nocturnal

cramps where your your calves are

cramping your feet are cramping your

legs are cramping mustard seems to work

good but mustard is part of the

cruciferous family so it has a lot of

other interesting benefits

um I love mustard on

pretty much everything so

um it’s a it’s a great it’s filled with

all sorts of uh amazing properties

anti-inflammatory antioxidant but

um it has an interesting effect on

muscle cramps

all right very good now if anyone’s

questioning that anyone’s watching the

show in addition to the four people that

are stuck in our Green Room uh we’d like

to say a good morning to all our viewers

joining us today from the UK and we do

by the way have Gill coming from the UK

in a little bit Canada Mexico Jordan

Portugal Kurdistan ubeekistan Spain

Austria Iran Belgium Colombia the Virgin

Islands Somalia Armenia Jamaica Israel

and all across the United States of

America so thanks everybody around the

world for tuning in to get a load on how

to get better health

through Dr Berg’s various uh products

and recommendations but not promises

this is not medical advice so but look

at all the people who’ve lost tons of

weight and feel great so that’s evidence

enough for something good is going on

here all right why don’t we go to the

green room and we’ve got a nice young

lady

from from the UK in the northeast of the

country as so Gil if you would oh wait a

minute I think oh no her thing might be

frozen go ahead Gail let’s give you a

try unmute yourself and say hello to Dr

bird

hi Dr Luke hello

hi hi

go ahead with your one question Gil

okay my question is um about chronic

fatigue syndrome Ma

I was off suffered with this condition

for two years

I was um and I feel like when I eat

carbs that it it’s it really impacts on

my energy levels

um

so I’ve been starting to look at your

videos and about intimate intermittent

fasting and keto

um and I just wondered what you thought

about that sort of diet for my condition

well girl I I had that exact same

problem in my 20s so I know exactly how

you feel I was so exhausted I didn’t

know what was going on uh the first

thing I will mention because this is in

a lot of my videos is that

uh there’s a thing called um stress that

a lot of people are under that can

activate

what’s called latent viruses like

Epstein-Barr virus and other viruses and

that could be one reason for

fatigue uh chronic fatigue it’s kind of

a reactivation of these this virus that

tends to go dormant and pop out when you

go through stress because when you go

through stress your immune system is

kind of paralyzed so there’s no defenses

so that’s one thing and if that’s the

problem you need to do whatever you can

to

resolve that chronic stress that

situation it could be a you know

anything connected to some suppressor uh

stressful person or whatever but that

being said

the energy is produced in a little

um part of your cell called the

mitochondria it’s an energy Factory

and um in order to get energy out of

that cell we need to convert food into

audience we froze our host is Frozen for

just a moment let’s give them a chance

to come by

B1 vitamin B1

so thymine so if a person is not on keto

and they’re doing

too many carbs

then they’re going to overwhelm that

spark plug in other words

your vitamin B1 is needed in very high

amounts depending on how much

carbohydrate you have so a lot of times

if you don’t have enough B1 you won’t be

able to burn that that glucose sugar

fuel so if you get on keto what happens

that instantly reduces the that need for

B1 and you start getting energy just

from that alone

um so I would do this starting

immediately start at keto go to my

website drberg.com under video it says

start here watch that video shows you

how to do it and then get some natural

B1

and then together I think both of those

things will pull you right out of that

chronic fatigue unless there’s that

Viral thing going on in the background

which you can also address with handling

your stress

all right Gail well listen thank you so

much

for joining us I think she’s Frozen a

little bit thank you so much there she

goes all right get back with us

that’s great and let us know how all

that works out all right why don’t we go

to another area that’s so popular the

program and that is your fabulous quiz

questions there’s the first one for

today

okay what material are those uh floaters

in your eye made out of

I’ve got a few be interested to hear

that answer okay let’s go back to social

media VM from the UK on YouTube my blood

sugars are so high in the morning I’m

strictly keto and carnivore no carbs at

all why should this be and should I be

worried

so

one of the best tests to determine

in insulin deficiency

is fasting blood glucose which is you

just slept all night and also it’s

fasting you check your blood sugars it’s

high so this means that obviously you

don’t have enough insulin so insulin is

not there to push the blood sugar down

so that usually occurs because you have

insulin resistance because you have a

history of eating a lot of carbs and now

you you’re still stuck with this insulin

resistance now it could also be a

combination of your pancreas

getting really really tired and

exhausted to the point where it just

can’t produce

enough of this insulin right now and

that that’s another thing that happens

so what you want to do is you want to

rejuvenate

um the pancreas

as well as fixed insulin resistance so

stay in car stand Keto

keep doing intermittent fasting

and also add exercise more exercise will

instantly improve that situation burn up

some of that extra sugar

uh apple cider vinegar with water is

essential

berberine is one of the best herbs

almost equivalent to metformin that’s

just my opinion by the way

um cinnamon a little cinnamon on your

toast with sugar I’m being very

sarcastic just use the cinnamon in other

ways or maybe just take it as a

supplement

um

vitamin D either from the Sun or a

supplement these are all things that are

are going to speed things up for you and

turn this around pretty quick so that’s

what’s happening wonderful go for it

okay this is a good question I think Len

from Facebook what kind of water filter

do you use in your home to get rid of

chlorine and other materials in our

water supply

you know um

in The Farmhouse I’m living in I have no

filter well I have just a sediment

filter because the water comes from a

spring but

um when I lived in the other house

definitely had um two filters one that

pulled out chlorine and all the other

garbage but unfortunately a lot of these

filters

um don’t also at the same time get rid

of the fluorine so I had to get two

filters one for the specific for the

fluorine and the other one for

everything else

um I did a video on this if you look

um look up my videos on that you’ll find

it but I don’t remember the company that

I that I use for those filters so you

can look that up but you want to get one

for chloride and fluoride and of course

the other ones as well all right very

good and a quick reminder everyone you

can get a very organized version of a

great app on both Android and

um Mac to be able to research that at

your fingertips okay we have an answer

for our first quiz question of the day

and the quiz question asks what are

those material what material are those

floaters in your eyes made out of what

yucky stuff is that and 58 of our

respondents say it’s some form of sugar

or other carbs 22 say it’s proteins ten

percent say it’s cholesterol and 10 say

it’s collagen

anybody on to something you know it’s

interesting it’s a combination of both

of those answers It’s a combination of

sugar and protein and so the material is

basically called glycation

end products it’s like a glycated which

means it’s basically a combination of

the sugar and the protein stuck together

and there’s all that it’s called

vitreous gel in the eye is collagen and

when it gets stuck to Sugar it it makes

these little floaters and so really

they’re they’re um or glycated proteins

and I’m going to create a video and

release it to show you how to get rid of

those floaters once the problem because

they can be very irritating but they’re

not just randomly they don’t just

randomly come from anything there’s

they’re glycated proteins and so

um that’s exactly what you also see in

diabetes so that’s why it’s so important

to get on ketos to reduce the sugar

because it starts to create this

glycation not just in your eyes but on

your nerves and your brain in the

arteries in the red blood cells all over

the place All Right audience watch out

for that I don’t know what I did wrong I

have had those in the past and they

eventually I just ignore them but uh

maybe yeah you get used to them yeah

also fasting is really good for them as

well interesting all right very good

let’s see we talked to her uh let’s see

Neil Francis from YouTube please share

your advice for eradicating kidney

stones naturally is there such a thing

there is such a thing um the first thing

you want to do to prevent a kidney stone

from forming is to keep the urine very

diluted so it doesn’t form a super

concentrated

you know usually it’s a calcium

oxalate Stones so you want to drink

um minimally two and a half liters of

fluid a day okay so that’s like very

important

um and then we want to

um beef up no pun intended in your

citrates with lemon water or a lemon a

day that will help because that citrate

tends to prevent The Binding of the

calcium and the oxalates so um that’s

another thing you can do you can also

take certain supplements like potassium

citrate or magnesium citrate

you want to make sure that if you get

that an electrolyte powder it doesn’t

also come with the maltodextrin which is

in all the different products that they

put out there get a quality one a couple

other things you can do

um

avoid certain foods high in oxalates

like spinach almonds chocolate kiwis

um and if you happen to eat some spinach

for example or almonds also at the same

time

consume some cheese because that calcium

that you have with it like if you let’s

say it’s some

cheese with spinach like Feta cheese or

they have different cheeses that calcium

will bind with the oxalate and it will

prevent it from being reabsorbed and go

through the kidney

creating that oxalate problem so those

are just some simple tips but I have a

lot of videos on kidney stones and it

could be totally preventative if you

happen to have a kidney stone I also

show you how to do like massage to help

maybe push it out because

it can be slightly painful at times

oh very good isn’t uh one I’m curious

your answer Albert from YouTube Dr Berg

how do I raise my HDL and LDL

um I hope that’s right Terry I’m on a

low carb diet for the last six months

and have lost a lot of weight and feel

much better but my libido is down and my

triglycerides are in the normal range

does that make any sense Todd

triglycerides are in a normal range or

abnormal range uh well it says normal

range so I’m not quite sure what to make

of that question is there any case where

it’s important to raise LDL and HDL

maybe that’s a way to phrase that yeah

well one of the best things to do is

what you’re doing you’re on a low carb

diet but the other thing you have to

make sure of is you want to make sure

that the quality of those foods are are

healthy you know we’re not talking about

the dirty keto see if you see keto is

just low carb right so that’s I mean

okay so then what can you do unlimited

fat unlimited MCT oil Unlimited

grease like no no of course not you want

to do like um

like I say um a lot of salads that fiber

will help bind some of the cholesterol

you also want to work on um the quality

of meat so you have the nutrition so you

actually end up feeling good on the keto

now as far as testosterone goes so many

people when they get on keto improve

their testosterone so I suspect there’s

something that you’re either missing or

you’re not doing right with that I would

go to my website and and look look at

that because we might need to add some

more zinc for example to increase your

testosterone this is why I recommend

certain supplements while you’re on keto

like uh electrolytes B vitamins trace

minerals so that should help you but

um I’m going to release a video if I I

don’t think I’ve released this video but

it’s it’s certain indications

that you’re not doing keto right one is

fatigue one is like feeling worse like

and I go through each scenario so you

should stay tuned for that video I’m

pretty sure I did not release that yet

but I I will

um so those are just some quick things

to just to think about well I don’t know

how on Earth you remember which ones

you’ve done and happened I guess you got

to research it like everybody else

anyway these are from Facebook how can I

address and prevent heart palpitations

usually if you have the right amount of

electrolytes like magnesium potassium

you’ll you’ll get rid of

electrolytes also I mean palpations I’m

sorry if you also have um

pH problem if your pH goes too far one

way or the other you can develop

palpitations too so let’s say for

example you start taking a lot of

um and acids right and you start

throwing off the stomach acid now your

absorption of electrolytes are could be

off or let’s say you have you’re either

diuretic and that’s sucking out all your

potassium then you can develop you know

palpitations

um I had some pretty bad palpitations

once and uh I was eating really good and

I didn’t know where it was coming from

and then I started looking at EMF um I

don’t know if I have my unit right here

but electromagnetic fields and I checked

my entire house and I found where they

were they’re on the um the wall right in

the back of my bed

uh right behind the headboard and I

found very high levels of what’s called

magnetic fields that extended eight feet

from the wall

so apparently in that wall there was all

these Crossing of wires that I was

literally being bathed in these uh in a

magnet

so

I had electrician come over open up the

wall fix everything

never had those palpitations again I

even went so far as I I got a

cardiologist to send me

um one of those um

uh what do you call them they all kind

of like a remote uh testing device that

they checked your heart with it’s like a

halter halter monitor kg or something

and uh did you know it was less than

five percent so apparently wasn’t a

problem but I felt it but after that

getting you know really watching out

these emfs so it handled my palpitations

so

I think I think the advantage

for everyone watching is um

have a library of information on health

that pretty much

I had every single problem almost every

single problem that everyone had so I I

can relate to it so I do videos on that

indeed okay uh demo Duo is the handle

for this person from YouTube Every time

I take D3 vitamin C and Zinc I get a

rash around my eyes when I stop taking

them the rash clears up any thoughts on

what’s going on with a demo dude first

thing I would wonder is I’d like to know

what the quality of those nutrients are

because if you’re taking for example

your vitamin C but it’s really just

ascorbic acid which they make from

sulfuric acid and cornstarch

that could be why because you’re

reacting to Something in those

ingredients so I would I would suspect

there’s something either as a binder or

something into the supplements one dirty

little secret that uh a lot of vitamin

companies

um are using is very low level

ingredients and

um hidden maltodextrin and all sorts of

stuff

um especially from these brand names

that you don’t really know who’s behind

it it’s just a brand but you don’t

really know the quality you don’t know

the person who designs it this is one of

the reasons why

we’re starting to grow our own

ingredients for our supplements so that

way everyone can actually see or even

come to the farm and actually visualize

you know that here it is right here so

um

it’s very very uh interesting topic but

I think I’ll stop right there Steve all

right well let’s uh stop there and start

with question number two for the day and

there it is

all right true or false the alkaline

water generated from alkaline water

machines can make your body more

alkaline

huh tongue twister true or false all

right folks okay let’s see Brittany from

Facebook I have neuropathy are there any

supplements that she can take to help

with the pain she’s experiencing

yeah I the thing that comes to mind

right off the bat is the benfotamine

it’s a it is synthetic but it seems to

be one of the only synthetic ones that I

do recommend it’s a it’s a B1 that

um doesn’t penetrate the central nervous

system of the brain too well but it

definitely penetrates the peripheral

nerves and your bottom of your feet and

your hands so if you have peripheral

neuropathy either from diabetes or some

other reason well I’ve been photamine

works like a charm

um I would take whatever it says on the

ingredients is take take four of those

and spread it to the day a lot of times

you’ll see those products with alpha

lipoic acid which is another great

remedy for that as well so the

combination of both of those is awesome

so benphotamine and alpha lipoic acid

all right very good uh let’s see I’m

rule is the name from Facebook any

advice for an extremely stubborn dead

skin on the scalp not sure if I can call

it dandruff or

folliculitis or something

well it sounds to me that we do have a

problem with um maybe the um

the formation of that skin even if you

don’t have dandruff it could be like a

dandruff related situation because in

dandruff you have this overgrowth of

this fungus amongus and it basically

eats uh as its food

the oil from your sebaceous glands in

your scalp that’s what it lives on

because it can’t make its own fatty acid

so it eats the oil and uh so the

solution to that is to lower the oil

production and starve off that fungus by

increasing more zinc in your diet okay

or as a supplement zinc will tend to

help and then because if you’re

deficient in zinc

um what will happen is you can start

developing this this flaking on the skin

you know it could be all sorts of

various dermatitis inflammation in the

skin or

um things like that but

the other last point I want to bring up

is that when you take a shower and

you’re using tap water it’s not filtered

some of that chlorine and chlorine can

throw off the microbes on your skin your

scalp and and then

leave the back uh the fungus unchecked

and then that starts to overgrow just

like an antibiotic you take an

antibiotic and then you end up with a

yeast infection or a Candida infection

why

because antibiotics only kill bacteria

not fungus

interesting okay the astute audience was

on it and has an answer for question

number two

which is a true falsehood the alkaline

water generated from the alkaline water

machines can make your body more

alkaline somehow that makes sense and

the audience 65 percent of them say it’s

false and 35 percent say it’s true who

is correct

I’m sure the people who sell these

machines are going to be upset but um

when we talk about pH

you know

people think they consider like acid as

something really bad and really you know

it creates sickness you know but

alkaline is healthy right but um we have

amino acids that’s protein you have

fatty acids they’re both essential right

those are good you have this very

important stomach acid and if you didn’t

have you would literally be very very

sick

the large intestine is slightly acid

your urine is very as acid so the

different parts of the body need

different PHS but when people are

talking about alkaline they’re really

meant talking about the blood mainly

which is supposed to be slightly

alkaline and that’s normal

but by drinking the alkaline water it’s

not going to change the blood in fact

it’s very difficult

to eat something or take something and

change the blood pH

it’s possible but it’s very difficult

what you do end up changing

you start to dilute the stomach acid

with this alkaline water especially if

the alkalinity is too high

so you start changing the stomach acid

because some of the side effects now are

going to be gerd acid reflux and the

exact problem you’re trying to probably

get rid of and you know heartburn or gas

these are all symptoms when you start

diluting your stomach acid because the

valve now doesn’t close and you can’t

break down protein you can’t get you

can’t kill microbes

so you end up with like small intestinal

bacterial overgrowth you get bloating

you can’t absorb minerals there’s a lot

of problems when you start to mess with

the

um alkalizing that stomach

but of course some people are going to

say well

water from the spring or an Artesian

well is naturally alkaline so why is

well that’s naturally because of the

minerals in it what they do when they

alkalize the water on those machines is

they don’t add more minerals to it they

put electricity in it and they alter uh

the chemistry of that which is very

unnatural so

um

don’t recommend it

but uh you’re not going to have a

problem if you drink naturally mineral

water natural mineral water or you know

spring water all right very good let’s

go to Martin who is in San Diego and

he’s unmuting himself and we’ve lost him

a few times so I want to Dart in here

and put him right right now Martin go

ahead with your quick question for Dr

bird

good morning Dr Berg so good to be on

here thanks for having me I’m a huge fan

I love your work thanks for all your

service to humanity I feel like

um I’m a 46 I’m going to read off this

script because I know I gotta get

through this quick 30 seconds I’m a 46

year old man with the heart arrhythmia I

was born with sleep issues and now I

have a issue in my right eye I started

passing out uh from this heart issue at

age 12 and now I have a defibrillator

that will shock my heart if I need it

I’m an active person I run I could run

three miles in 19 minutes like about a

year ago but I had to stop running

because the heart started um acting up a

lot um so over the last year I’ve had

arrhythmias that needed therapy from the

defibrillator and I’ve also for the last

10 years

um

I’ve had sleep issues where I wake up at

3am and I know you’ve had those issues

too

um so I can get to sleep fine like wake

up uh like at 3am that started about 10

years ago I was also diagnosed with

clinical depression 10 years ago I

started taking fish oil vitamin D and

some magnesium at that time for that

it’s of and avoiding sugar so I’ve done

that with for the clinical depression

but I still have the Sleep issues um and

I still have now I’m having heart issues

after 20 years of having basically

asymptomatic from this it’s called Long

QT syndrome so I’ve had about five

shocks for my defibrillator in the last

five years and that was 20 years before

that with nothing so

um now I’ve uh I’ve been watching your

videos a lot over the last year I think

I’ve narrowed it down to adrenal fatigue

because I have no butt I’m just being

honest and pots I think I have pots and

and or insulin resistance my blood

glucose level is about 97 on average

which I think probably as little high

for somebody like myself I’ve been doing

healthy keto uh fasting for the last

three months um and it has helped

flatten my stomach for sure and a lot of

other things my stomach looks better

than ever I just want to say to people

out there if you’re trying to flatten

your stomach by running it’s not going

to work it’s the keto the healthy keto

and long walks it’s way more effective

for that so anyway

um I tried I’ve seen your videos on

trying to relax to avoid issues with

adrenal fatigue I’m trying to do that

but I am a self-employed musician and

after three months of being on healthy

keto I’m still only sleeping about five

to six hours a night and I’d like to

sleep seven to eight like the sleep

experts say You’re supposed to so I’m

going to sleep experts

um I know you say it can take months to

to heal from the insulin resistance but

how do I know months or years to heal

from the insulin resistance and or

adrenal fatigue but how do I know if I’m

on the right track and also sometimes I

just feel really overwhelmed in is there

a way I can get some one-on-one help

with you or somebody else in your

Association thank you

okay that was thanks for that one

question no

um so um yeah there’s there’s plenty of

coaches that we have uh if you call in

and we can uh kind of help you narrow

down things for sure

um

the um is to unpack this one quick

question the uh I think I would start

loading up uh on electrolytes in general

and that’s going to take it does take it

could take up to three to four to five

months to restore

um the intracellular electrolytes which

are potassium magnesium because those

are the two key ones that are involved

in that pacemaker so that’s one thing

and I think you’re correct on this

stress aspect but you are going to be in

luck because there’s a

in practice

I had a device that measured the

autonomic nervous system

using a technology called heart rate

variability

and it’s a wonderful uh machine because

it’s a device that’s very inexpensive

and you could literally

look inside someone’s body and looking

you can measure how much sympathetic

versus how much parasympathetic versus

versus Your Capacity to adapt which is

all about that pots condition that you

mentioned which when you might stand up

and you your body can’t adapt

and also it’ll measure your intensity of

adapting so it’s a really great test and

I am just I found

I found out um I recently reached out

and I found the person who can supply me

these units so you can get one you can

get one very soon so just you know have

give me about a month to

um get all my ducks in a row with that

but I want this is uh this will allow

people to

um learn more about a biofeedback tool

to measure uh the nervous system inside

and and be able to figure things out

because that’s what you’re missing it’s

like hard to do a test other than go to

a neurologist and have them put you in a

table and you know which is could be

very expensive and very painful but this

is a great test to look inside to see

really what’s going on and then to do

things to see what works and what

doesn’t

um you could also need probably a lot of

B1 to support uh the parasympathetic

nervous system

um which is probably affecting the harm

but um yeah in this device all you have

to do is put your finger in a clip and

it picks up this information off of your

heartbeat I suspect when you go to sleep

at night

the heart rate or affects the Circadian

rhythm and that’s going to just pop you

out of that slate so but there’s so many

things you can do

um once we kind of isolate where the

problem is coming from I really think it

could be adrenal but you were born with

this this situation and of course every

time you have your heart

shocked that puts another stress so

um in the meantime while you’re waiting

for this unit

um you can watch my video on the stress

seminar I think it’s called where you

actively

work on this these adrenal stress points

and start to do this manual therapy

before you go to sleep at night I think

you’ll find great benefit with that but

in the meantime

start increasing your reserve or

electrolytes B1 and um

you know continue what you’re doing it

does take a bit of time with this

insulin resistance so

I hope that at least puts you in the

right track

that’s great Hey listen Martin we are

out of time so we really appreciate you

coming along with it we’d love to hear

back on what we praise your great

success with that so thank you so much

for that let’s launch on with quiz

question number three and there it is

Doc

okay

and I think do we we did we answer the

last question Steve

um oh let’s see

um I’m going to be embarrassed if we

didn’t

I think I

Terry did we

I think we must have Terry isn’t arguing

with me otherwise but if we discover

otherwise well quiz question number two

um

uh was 65 said it’s false and 35 yeah we

did we answered that okay okay good just

making sure okay so uh this question is

what triggers

growth hormone

more okay heat or cold therapy

and there’s a lot of both of those

therapies going around everyone’s either

freezing to death or sauna and

apparently both are pretty good for you

so that’ll be interesting and our

producer Terry confirmed yes we did so

great no screw-ups on the questions yet

uh which I’m known for okay aguzal from

YouTube I love you and I am grateful to

have you in my life hugs from ubekistan

isn’t that great

uh well thank you for that uh guzal I

hope all is well with you there and uh

let’s see robot from YouTube is there

any relation between a vitamin D

deficiency and colon cancer

I mean

it doesn’t pop out as the most uh the

big correlation there but I’m sure it’s

possible because of what the B vitamins

do to or in protection what they do in

the mitochondria in the Krebs cycle

so I could imagine if you’re missing

whether it’s B2 or B3 or B6 or B5 or B1

it can definitely set you up for a

mitochondrial

uh problems which is that’s really where

the heart of this cancer starts from is

in the mitochondria so

um

that is uh it’s definitely possible all

right very good next from our Green Room

is a nice lady Nance and she’s just

outside of Philly somewhere in Nance

you’re on with Dr bird

hi Dr Berg thank you so much

um I really enjoy you’ve helped me so

much with regard to inflammation that

I’ve had I began keto uh and

intermittent intermittent fasting and uh

it is just really really help me I have

a quick question in that I am past

menopause and all of that but I have

noticed lately and I’ve only been on

keto for six weeks and and the fasting

that it had fevers lately I’ve had a few

fevers they don’t last a long time

um they’re just almost like a hot flash

but I know it’s not a hot flash so I

just wondered if you know what what

might be going on there

so do you feel okay when you have this

fever like your body just heats up or do

you feel like you’re kind of running

down with something

no I don’t feel like I’m getting sick or

anything I just feel like I’m having

kind of like a hot flash just a few

moments of of this fever

so and this is you’ve noticed this when

you started keto right

yes

okay so um

my Here’s my thought on that um it could

be related not not like a hot flash or a

night sweat but the temperature control

of the body is located in the

hypothalamus

and so um you know here you made this

huge change and you’re now in fat

burning and things may might be

adjusting one way or the other but

if it was a true fever I would say take

more calcium because that will snap

someone out of a fever but I don’t think

that’s what you need I think I would

support

um

the pituitary and the hypothalamus and

there’s a great um

Standard Process product that I think

would benefit you and it’s it’s called e

manganese and it has has some

some pituitary extract in there but that

tends to work if you’re going through

menopause and you have this uh like

these strange symptoms whether it could

be hot flash or anything involving

something called

luteinizing hormone or follicle

stimulating hormone which basically goes

down to the ovaries I think the E

manganese would probably be the best bet

and it’s a standard processed product

I’m not affiliated with them but you can

get that take one before bed and um I

think that might uh help you now as a

side note not that you have this

condition but it’s also

really good for endometriosis I used to

use it um

a lot but it’s just it’s good to it’s

help helpful in connecting the dots

between the pituitary and over race that

whole pathway there

great great thank you so much I love

standard process so I will look that up

awesome thank you that’s great thanks

for a great job Nance on the show with

us we appreciate that and we have

answers to quiz question number three

and uh it asks what triggers more growth

hormone heat or cold therapy which is so

popular these days and 72 percent of a

respondents say it’s the cold therapy

and 28 say it’s heat therapy any winners

cold in heat therapy like saunas

and uh cold immersion stimulate the heat

shock proteins which directly increase

growth hormone but

the heat therapy stimulates more growth

hormone

than the cold therapy but they both will

increase growth hormone now why would we

want to increase growth hormone

well maybe you’re competing in some

world event where you need to have the

edge I’m just being sarcastic you don’t

want to take growth hormone from that

but but if you’re um if you’re getting

older the growth hormone tanks goes down

when you reach even from 65 years old

can it can go down over 50 or more

sometimes even 60 to 70 percent down so

here you’re stuck with the growth

hormone so it’s hard to build muscle

it’s easy to build fat

uh and it’s also hard to recover and

regenerate and rejuvenate and heal

without that growth hormone your your

highest peak of growth hormone is when

you’re in your late teens where you

could basically

heal very fast

and after that it goes downhill

so you have something to look forward to

everyone but um how do you increase that

growth hormone one way is just the sauna

treatments will give you a nice spike in

growth hormone and also heat will help

you sleep

and sleeping helps growth hormone so is

it the chicken or the egg well they both

can affect each other so both heat will

help you sleep and then

and increase growth hormone and then

sleep will help growth hormone increase

as well so they both complement each

other and it’s something you want to

maybe add and if you don’t have a sauna

maybe you could um take a hot shower and

stay in there for a little bit longer in

the evening

so that way you can sleep better at

night interesting so a quick thing is

there any set of rules is how long you

should stay in a sauna I’m sure that’s

heat related I mean

I would go folk I would go to your

tolerance because you’ll find that your

tolerance will increase over time some

people can tolerate initially for

depending on the temperature like five

minutes and then it goes up from there

and to the point where they take breaks

and they come out and they go back in

for in an hour

even longer but um

but yeah so you can do there’s a lot of

benefits to that heat therapy it’s like

it adds the stress that your body will

then adapt to but I I’m right now I’m

doing them both I’m doing the sauna and

then I jump right into that cold

immersion and that seems to be a nice

little one-two punch uh and uh

it’s interesting very interesting

wonderful okay quiz question number four

here it is

okay what made your vitamin deficiency

can make you susceptible to getting a

stye that little thing in your eye where

you’re it’s like this little pustle in

your eyelid it’s very irritating

All Right audience climb on that because

no one likes styes uh let’s see now

um

oh poor Martha Marcia excuse me from

YouTube what’s the best remedy for

migraines

just awful things

well one is that you need more sea salt

that’s a really kind of a no-brainer

um also niacin is another uh thing that

helps migraines

the other thing that I would look at as

well is some type of um

herbal support for your liver and that

could be a lot of different things milk

thistle it could be also um

turmeric that that seems to also be

really good for migraines but you can

watch my videos and that there’s you

know it’s like

to figure that out sometimes you need

more of a history to see where it

started what happened right before that

and then

um you know rule out the low hanging

fruit

all right very good okay our final

contestant if you will is Mike in Elkin

Maryland and Mike if you would unmute

yourself I’m going to stick you on with

Dr Berg and as you talk to him I’m going

to Center up your shot there we go

sitting up perfect go ahead with your

one quick question sir

sure thanks for having me though Burke

can you hear me okay perfectly all right

great doctor I purchased the I have a

calcium on my aortic valve it’s called

mild the moderate and uh and I saw your

uh D3 K2 vitamin and I wanted to try

that out and but my only question was

does the K2 cause any kind of clotting

is that something I should take an

aspirin you know an 81 or something like

that what do you think about that so

because vitamin K2 is in the family of

vitamin K K1 which is a clotting Factor

people assume well vitamin K2 will do

the same

I have not found any any information

that it says that it can clot at all and

I’ve looked at that very extensively you

can also do research on that

um

the other thing that

you may want to consider

um and I will release a video on this is

to add

to that protocol NATO kinase

NATO kinase

it’s a very powerful

anti-fibrotic

blood thinning natural remedy which also

is wonderful for deep plaque taking the

plaque out of your arteries not just the

calcium because the K2 is more the

calcium but also the fibrous tissue

um I’ll really I’ll tell you what I’ll

see if I can release that video tomorrow

just for you thank you you can learn

about it I think you’ll find it very

interesting this you would think out of

all the research which will blow you

away on this NATO kinase that it would

be on the front page of the news but of

course we know why it’s not right but

that’s another great uh thing to um to

support that calcium calcification what

was your score

uh

I should have it right here

um no casting Square which one uh total

coronary calcium score well

uh score uh I have different ones uh

799 929

I’m looking at different numbers here um

okay calcium volume

up you sit there

like you said

pull it back a little bit sir oh the

bottom line the bottom line is you want

it to be normal so uh right right zero

I’m sorry you want it to be zero zero so

so here’s the thing here’s the thing

that you can do

whatever you do you know clean up your

diet and then retest it in about six to

eight weeks and

if it’s going in the right direction and

that’s a good thing and keep going and

that’s a good feedback because

um you know I think you can change that

to score and then then you know for sure

well whatever you’re doing is working of

course you got to really change your

diet and everything too but um the

endothelial part of that artery is

is kind of like a a barometer of your

lifestyle and all the things that you’re

eating so I think um

stay tuned tomorrow for that video I’ll

post it awesome thank you so much I

really appreciate it thank you take care

great thanks a lot Mike for your great

um

thank you okay so let’s see uh the

answer for quiz question number four

which asked of the audience what major

vitamin deficiency can you uh can make

you susceptible to one of those icky

styes and 65 of a respondents say it’s a

vitamin A deficiency 15 say C deficiency

10 say it’s vitamin D deficiency in the

final 10 say it’s a zinc deficiency are

they on the right track

vitamin A is the answer

when your decision to vitamin A you

start to you could have what’s called

this extra keratin that builds up

on the skin and especially around the

sebaceous gland the oil gland and now

you have this uh this oil that can’t get

out and then it starts building up as

pressure and then you get this bacterial

infection and so you know the doctors

will Lancet they’ll um maybe on an

antibiotic they’ll

try to do something with it sometimes a

steroid shot

but what if it comes back what do you do

next you know do you keep doing that

um I think it’s a good indicator of a

vitamin A deficiency and so

um what would you eat to increase your

vitamin A

cod liver oil

is the best thing of course egg yolks

are good but

even more than that is beef liver but um

some people don’t like liver but those

are things that are very high in vitamin

A and that should help regulate the skin

and also uh the that little gland that’s

developing around the little hair

follicle on your eye on your eyelid

they’re uncomfortable okay final

question for the day Dr Berg and here it

is our truth another true falser

okay true or false melatonin helps you

go to sleep but it doesn’t help you stay

asleep

all right

go get it audience your final one and

let’s go back to Facebook Nisha is

flaxseed good for post-menopausal women

with thyroid disease

yes it is good it is good absolutely so

uh

it has a lot of uh um phytoestrogens

that will help to balance estrogen so it

helps to shift the ratios of the good

and bad estrogen so it is good for women

and also it gives you some other

additional cool things this is the

precursor to the omega-3 fatty acids and

there’s a lot of other phytonutrients in

as well okay very good Leela from

YouTube what advice would you give to a

pregnant mother who has been diagnosed

with H pylori and a vitamin deficiency

well one of the best remedies for that

is sulforaphane from the broccoli

Sprouts or broccoli microgreens

um so start adding those into the salad

each day and then sulforaphane has been

known to suppress that microbe H pylori

that tends to create a lot of problems

for people

don’t forget to add betaine

hydrochloride to your diet to start

increasing the acid because that little

sneaky devious microbe

starts to interfere with your

ammonia uh breakdown of protein forming

too much ammonia and ammonia is very

very alkaline so it basically creates

this ammonia to neutralize the stomach

acid so it can survive better

so how do we counter that

keep putting betaine hydrochloride into

your stomach before you eat to acidify

the stomach

put that thing back in remission so many

people have this microbe living without

any harm in our stomachs it’s only when

we change the environment and stress

them out that their relationship changes

and they become

from neutral to very unfriendly happens

with a lot of other microbes too if you

change the environment

their relationship changes

probably with people too right change

their environment and their relationship

changes they get pissed off well that

can happen very touchy uh breed as

humans I’ll tell you all right so the

last quiz question of the day was a true

falser uh and it asked uh is melatonin

melatonin happily go to sleep but it

can’t help you stay asleep do you wake

back up often 85 percent of respondents

say it’s true 15 say it’s absolutely

false sleep all night

it’s true it’s true it doesn’t help you

stay asleep but it will definitely help

you fall asleep I don’t recommend taking

melatonin a better way to get melatonin

is just from infrared from being out in

the sun

and um interesting it infrared is over

50 of this spectral energy from that Sun

so you get a lot of infrared you can

also get it from sitting in front of a

campfire or um

candles around

you or even like a fireplace so that

infrared

um stimulates a different type of uh

sourced melatonin that can actually help

your sleep as well

um but you can also get it from the Sun

or even a infrared light

uh which is a great therapy but um but

yeah so taking the supplements uh now

you’re gonna start to interrupt your um

your normal production from your pineal

and who knows what kind of complications

that’s going to create after that so

um

a lot of people

can get the first part of the Slate but

not the second half

because the first part is more of a deep

Delta wave sleep

which is the most important and then you

have the the REM sleep which is more

superficial which

it’s kind of a paradox because here you

are sleeping but you’re the waves are

similar to being awake so this is where

you dream and you remember your dreams

it’s second half of the day but as we

age we kind of lose that second part of

sleep so you have to catch up

um with naps or trying to go back to

sleep I have a lot of videos and other

things you can do to support that as

well

um but um

just so you know melatonin is uh

is mainly for the first part of the

sleep

all right very good let’s all sit out in

the sun we could use that for vitamin D

and other things I’m sure now the

audience and everyone has behaved so

well in the green room that we have a

little extra time so it’s going to be

all social media for the last uh five

minutes or so and let’s hear from Kiki

from Facebook what do you recommend for

treating fever blisters or cold sores on

the lip

I would take

L-lysine okay to put the virus back in

vitamin C sometimes helps and zinc

all right very good you know this it’s a

virus that’s come comes out of remission

when you go through stress

and uh so it’s kind of like a stress

indicator that’s why I think this uh

this little stress testing device that

measures your autonomic nervous system

that’s going to be very important

because I have one and I you’re able to

kind of look and see inside your body

without doing a some type of operation

and it’s a real great test that you can

figure out like how stressed is your

body

and um

what you need to do to improve it and

then use it as a biofeedback to see if

what you’re doing is working

all right very good and I’m asking this

one because I’m excited about maybe

saying the name of this uh product right

sugar plum from YouTube my thyroid is

gone is it okay to take selenium and

levothyroxine did I say something right

there levothyroid yeah you’re going to

have to take if your thyroid’s gone

you’re going to have to take some type

of thyroid hormone for sure

um I I would prefer armor or some other

natural form but that’s between you and

your doctor but selenium is also very

very important because that helps

many different parts and aspects of the

thyroid including the conversion from

the inactive T4 to the active T T3

so

um

yeah I mean like

the problem with you taking either a T3

or T4 without

is this the the thyroid produces more

than just these this T4 or T3 it

produces uh calcitonin

where’s that coming from

if you’re if you’re not um

if you have your thyroid removed

what is producing calcitonin well you

might say well it’s not that important

well yeah it is for your bones and your

calcium

works with the parathyroid hopefully you

still have the parathyroid

but um I would watch my videos on on

those topics because there’s a lot more

to be said on that

okay here’s a curiosity TV they’re

they’re calling themselves from Texas on

YouTube why is your unflavored collagen

product red

where why is my unflavored collagen

product red yeah does that make does

that make sense

I don’t have a collagen product

wow well if you did why would you make

it red now

yeah I’ll just set some food coloring to

make it look good no I don’t know I have

no idea well sorry about that maybe

check the label see who’s making that

stuff and um I hope they can solve that

for you uh Ali from YouTube what are

your thoughts about taking ashwagandha

I like it I like it it’s one of the best

adaptogens again related to stress

increasing your capacity to stress so

you have a couple different aspects of

this you have um

stress hitting you right and then your

body’s reaction and also how much

Reserve do you have in the tank how much

capacity do you have to handle stress

do you is your tolerance for stress low

medium or high well ashwagandha what it

does is it

it improves that it starts to build up a

reserves so you can handle more and more

stress and not fly off the handle but

just have this reserved that you can

deal with life and not get so flustered

so it’s a great thing it’s been used for

a couple years now I think over two

thousand

and um

there’s several adaptogens as well like

ginseng is one but I like ashwagandha

um a lot because

um you feel good after it and you feel

like a sense of relief huh is that a

product you sell or is it in a product

you saw Yes yes we do have an

ashwagandha uh

high quality uh ashwagandha product so

great yes all right Catherine from

Facebook of course I’m not biased no not

at all in fact he’s hoping that you’ll

purchase it somewhere else Catherine

from Facebook what are the best

supplements to take for chronic

gastritis

the best thing for gastritis would be

cabbage juice

or eat cabbage

um zinc is important as well

um that’s one condition where you don’t

want to take betaine Hydrochloric or an

acid or apple cider vinegar because

you’re gonna worsen that irritation to

the stomach

um

wheatgrass juice powder is a really good

one too with mixing with some water sip

it down there it tends to calm down the

stomach acid

um also zinc carnosine is another

essential nutrient for that so

yeah I have more data in my videos on

that topic well that’s interesting well

the audience heard the call we needed a

lot of Social Media stuff to round out

the show and they certainly gave it to

us so uh you know thank you for keeping

us from experiencing what’s known as

dead air when we’re staring in the

microphone and you did it so thank you

for that and the doc I guess that’s it

for the weekend

hey thanks everyone uh stay tuned next

week I have some really interesting

videos coming up I think you’ll enjoy

them have a great weekend

[Music]

thank you
