thank you
welcome back everyone we’re here with
another q a and anything that I say is
not meant to give you any cures if you
get cured don’t mention our names just
check with your doctor before
implementing any of the information
we’re going to share
okay all right Steve all right that’s
terrific let’s see here why don’t we uh
start off uh let’s see shamali can you
hear me dear it looks like your camera
froze she’s got set up on the schedule
shamali I think her camera froze if she
pops back up we’ll ring right on in the
meantime let’s do something just uh
throw caution to win and start off with
a quiz question this weekend Dr Burke
here’s the first one
all right so why does sugar
cause fluid retention in your lower legs
and your feet gross that’s the first
question that’s awful okay let’s uh
let’s then slide over to social media uh
Emma from YouTube could you please give
us some guidance on how to destroy
cancer cells without using chemo
yeah
um the the cancer cells uh they they
have this interesting survival mechanism
they they kind of avoid
uh committing suicide like regular cells
die they have a kind of a time limit but
can’t cancer cells live forever so you
want to create an environment that um
makes it very hard for them to live
um when you do fasting
you just turn up the dial on your immune
system by very very large amount and so
like the
tumor suppressor genes and all these
things that can actually fight things
fight cancer off go go up and so this is
why fasting is the most important thing
for cancer okay and there’s another
protocol that we recommend you can look
at my videos it’s in one of the links
um in some of the videos that I’ve done
uh that based on some research there’s a
protocol that we recommend but also the
foods that can create
um a great effect on
wiping out cancer would be like the
cruciferous
some of these um
garlic things like that that have a
really a negative effect for that cancer
cell it can’t survive
but those are a couple tips there’s a
lot more data on this
that I want to share with you but um
that would be the quick answer
all right very good Echo we’ve got some
Intel from the field as they call it
this gentleman whose parents rudely
named him spam Mouse how dare they from
YouTube uh says enjoy that extra cake
today birthday boy so he’s suggesting
that perhaps even you have some
weaknesses and may succumb to the cake
urge which because it’s your birthday so
happy birthday Dr Burke does he have
that right
well thank you and it’s I just really um
I hate going through these darn 40s
because I’m 48 and 47 was bad enough but
- that’s old I know just how you I
don’t know what’s going on I mean like I
don’t understand this like when you get
older you’re why is that your eyebrows
grow an accelerated rate you got to cut
them like on a daily basis you have
nose hairs coming out you know well they
shouldn’t be I mean it’s really rough
it’s really rough don’t neglect the ears
happens there too
at this rate my earlob’s going to be
down to my my uh my traps well nothing
like a cute braid to take care of that
anyway so happy birthday from everyone
Dr Berg that’s wonderful now let’s go
okay then we’ve got clapping going on
from June in The Green Room Samir from
YouTube please guide me to recovery
after a stroke I have no left hand
function anymore I have minimal left leg
function and my blood pressure is high
help with exclamation marks he puts hope
we can Samir
there is some great research on doing
the methylene blue uh that that can help
increase oxygen and the cells uh so that
would be one remedy I think two dropper
fulls of that
um pharmaceutical grade methylene blue
in some water in the morning maybe with
electrolyte powder because it doesn’t
taste that great
um could actually get more oxygen to the
brain now there’s other things too like
tocatrinals that would be good
um niacin is also good to help
um recover after a stroke but then of
course the basic stuff is fasting low
carb I mean you need to be on that like
right right away to help improve the
brain
repair and function the worst thing you
could do is eat birthday cake that would
be the absolute worst worst thing you
could do I was looking to see if you had
any crumbs around your mouth but you you
passed the test doesn’t look like you uh
yeah succumbed to that Temptation I
don’t I moved beyond the birthday cakes
all right very good uh this is
um not good news Emily from Facebook I
have stage 3B ovarian cancer and stage
four melanoma what can I do to address
these conditions Emily sorry that that’s
what you’re going through
you know uh unfortunately
[Music]
um
I’m not telling you not to do this but
the the
medical care just doesn’t have good
statistics on this so there is a lot of
alternative things that people do people
do combinations of medical and
alternative but I would watch all the
videos that I have and look at the
research and then make your own
decisions but there’s some great
protocols that you can take
um but like I said before
there’s one very very powerful thing
that is keeping quite a few people alive
even with the most worst case scenario
stage four cancer and that would be the
prolonged fasting
prolonged fasting has the most powerful
effect for a survival rate but there’s
other things that need to be done too
the only problem with that is how much
fat do you have extra in your body that
you can use to fasten a long period and
I’m talking about you know even weeks of
fasting and then taking nutrition but
that that’s the area that I would look
into if I had cancer I would be doing a
lot more of that and um take a look and
watch all these videos because I we we
have a lot of great information on that
topic
okay Emily we’re all pulling for you I
hope that um you know um
we can find some progress in that awful
condition that you’re suffering from uh
let’s see the audience has given a quick
answer to the questions that they
usually do our first one asks why does
sugar cause fluid retention in your
lower legs and feet and a 70 percent of
our respondents say that it’s a lack of
potassium 20 say sugar affects adrenals
and the final 10 percent say that
retained water gives way to gravity so
they’re suggestion I guess that you’re
going to retain water but it goes plop
to your feet
it’s a double double-edged sword because
you have the sugar and then you have the
insulin Spike insulin tends to retain
sodium
that’s one thing but then the sugar
um has to go somewhere so a good amount
of it gets stored as uh stored sugar
that’s called glycogen and when it gets
stored
um it gets stored with a lot of water so
for every molecule of glucose you store
three molecules of water so you can
imagine
um you’re holding this fluid-filled
sponge probably between
I don’t know 13 to 20 pounds of fluid in
your body that you’re just carrying
around unnecessarily and then also it
locks up a lot of the potassium too
because in order to store that glycogen
you have to use potassium so now we have
a potassium that’s stored and so this is
why when you eat refined carbs and sugar
refined sugars it tends to lock up a lot
of the potassium and then you have the
symptoms of a potassium deficiency just
like
when before I got married my wife and I
went to this Italian restaurant and we
had pizza and pasta and wine and
desserts and uh you could say it’s a
mass amount of carbs refined carbs
so I’m we’re about ready to leave and we
look around and everyone’s gone and
we’re the last ones and the guy with the
dessert table is going he’s going next
to us he goes you want do you want any
of these desserts before we shoot them
out and of course I don’t like to waste
food so after consuming
massive amounts of additional refined
carbohydrates I remember trying to sleep
that night and my I was hearing these
pounding in my ears pounding my heart
rate was pounding that was a classic
potassium deficiency little did I know I
could have just ate some potassium foods
and and countered that but didn’t sleep
the whole night so
that is a long answer to that short
question well you know doctor a quick
anecdote from me I’ve been a sauna freak
at the gym recently tons of saunting and
exercise Sonic exercise and I started
having AFib and I think what I realized
instead of looking to you is I wasn’t
drinking enough and I think I was
depleted and stuff so I started uh with
your electrolyte formula again and I
don’t know if that could have cured it
but I think I was dehydrated and maybe
that was low and could that cause a
A-fib if you have a lack of potassium or
well it when you lose sweat you do lose
some sodium as well potassium as well
and magnesium mostly sodium but just
just the fact that you’re losing
electrolytes in general probably made it
worse so if especially if you’re going
into it with um pre-existing
deficiencies so
actually Lori says I have tons of
pre-existing deficiencies but that’s for
another show
I’m talking about other things Steve
that’s right all right let’s see uh so
we finished with the quiz now here’s
Helena from Facebook what supplements
should I take to address chronic
constipation sounds like that meal you
had with the
with your wife years ago may have done
that we may have taken care of that now
that’s we are going to
um talk about that uh as one of the
questions so just stay tuned and listen
because we will answer that question
extensively all right Helena that is for
you so stand by for that let’s see uh
Ray from YouTube lab work shows protein
from the kidneys what can I do to stop
this I’m a diabetic with high blood
pressure
well diabetes is a a condition where you
have too much sugar that’s going through
the kidneys and it’s in the blood so
you’re filtering that all that Sugar
destroys the the nephron the filter and
um now the the protein is going right
through there which now that can create
edema swelling and all sorts of things
so you know
the most important thing you need to do
any diabetic should do is to
first of all realize that diabetes is
too much sugar and get the sugar out of
the diet stop eating sugar and refined
carbs go on a low carb diet that is this
the big solution
um and then hopefully your kidneys will
heal up but
um you know when you’re taking
medication that’s designed to lower
um blood glucose and manage your blood
sugars you better correct the cause of
it too at the same time which is your
diet and then what will happen is you’re
if you’re still taking medications
you’ll end up with low blood sugar so
you never want to take those medications
with low blood sugar because this is
going to push it down lower
so get with your doctor have them make
adjustments to the point where you can
actually not have to take that anymore
um but that would be the ultimate
solution okay in the doctor Berg this is
hilarious question and here it is
all right what is healthier to eat
the cereal from Kellogg’s Corn Pops or
the box it came in
well that’s going to be interesting I’m
I suspect an odd answer and let’s
quickly go over to all the people that
are answering and listening to your
questions and wishing you Happy Birthday
and so on and they are as from as
follows and we’d like to say hello to
everybody joining Dr Burr’s birthday
today thank you uh Terry for adding that
in from the UK Canada Mexico Sweden the
Philippines South Africa Trinidad and
Tobago the Netherlands Slovenia Mongolia
wholesale list Austria
uh Kenya India Germany Malaysia Portugal
Ethiopia Australia the Virgin Islands
France Norway Pakistan the United Arab
Emirates Switzerland Egypt Chile and
Nepal Italy Greece Belgium Oman Iran
Bangladesh Kuwait Thailand Austria
Armenia Peru Colombia Israel Poland
Finland and all across these United
States and is also as usual we’re going
to have some more stragglers that are
coming to say don’t forget about us so
that’s a fantastic fantastic list I was
listening to a YouTube show uh uh I
don’t know I can’t remember the subject
matter but the host said oh my gosh look
we have a viewer from you know England
and oh my gosh and here’s one from uh
you know somewhere else and I thought my
gosh if they listen to the list of Dr
Berg’s listeners how extensive it is
they just throw their show away but
anyway but they were very excited to get
a couple folks that were out of the
contiguous so this is really quite a
phenomenon Dr Berg that you have all
these people listening from around the
globe uh let’s see now uh
we posed the second question which is
hilarious why don’t we go to our green
room and
um let’s go to uh June from Juno Beach I
don’t know if she designed that somehow
to rhyme but that’s where she’s at or
and let’s see now if you’ll unmute
yourself June I will too oh you did I
was the straggler and guess what John
with Dr Berg with your one question for
30 seconds please go
okay well first of all happy birthday
you’re a blessing to me and I know to
all of us I wanted to ask you
um I am woken up at night from this heat
that ingredients
[Music]
and I can’t get back to sleep I’ve been
very successful in a short time on the
program thank you very much
um
[Music]
but this is where I’m at and then it
just wakes me up my blood sugars have
been awesome
thank you
I’m between 82 and 96.
did it start what what I’m sorry what is
your what’s your age
I am going to be 57 June okay great I
mean well I’m 58 so uh we’re a little
bit older but here’s a question um did
this happen
um in your early 50s or recently or when
did it when did it start this started um
in the uh early 50s I don’t have hot
flashes during the day
and I don’t sweat
okay so there’s there’s a definitely um
something in your
hypothalamus that uh is controlling
temperature of the body and it doesn’t
necessarily have to be whether you have
sweat it’s just a change in temperature
and it’s actually in the same little
area as the center that controls the
ovaries so apparently there’s this
glitch in the circuitry that the
adrenals are supposed to none take over
and everything’s supposed to be fine but
apparently there’s some
problems in the circuitry so we need to
fix that so how do you get rid of that
problem well there’s a couple things
that I tell people to try of course like
seek help with the iodine lot sometimes
that works sometimes tocatrinal
Works other times you need to support
the adrenal itself with uh the whole
desk the desiccated adrenal
um like glandular that a lot of times
that’ll help but these are just a couple
or three things that I always try and
sometimes you know you’ll you’ll get it
on one thing and then sometimes you
won’t and then you have to try other
things but
I’ve done some videos on this you
probably have watched them and you’re
probably ordering and you have something
you’re going to try but those are the
three most common reasons
and or things that you can take to
actually resolve it
um
and if it does it for some weird reason
if it doesn’t resolve then um come back
because there’s other things that you
can try as well
for example
there is a product from Standard Process
sometimes that I recommend is called
overtrofin PMG which um you know like if
you’ve tried everything else and
nothing’s worked like that that tends to
work but I wouldn’t try that first
because I would try these other things
and that usually should help you so that
would be my quick suggestion but I’m
glad you’re regretting getting these
other results that’s cool but of course
this heat thing is probably very
irritating because you need to sleep
wow well well anyway Junior I don’t want
to step over Dr Berg’s advice but you
live in South Florida how about Siberia
I think it’s going to cure your problem
completely especially in the winter
months no we hope yeah there you go
that’s another solution just move to the
north and stay in the cold and then you
have an internal heater that can counter
that problem yeah see I knew I was onto
something thank you June so much and I
hope that you get back with us and let
us know about your future successes
because I’m sure you can come up with
something and I know Dr Berg is grateful
for your birthday wishes as well so why
don’t we go on to the second quiz
question which has already been answered
um about a delicious recipe and it asks
what is healthier to eat the cereal from
Kellogg’s Corn Pops or the box it came
in and 95 of our respondents say that
it’s the box and the other five percent
says probably about the same
now there was a recall with Kellogg’s
there was literally
um
millions and millions of millions of
boxes that were recalled with four
different
cereals I think it was um uh Fruit Loops
um honey something and uh Corn Pops and
one more and so they’re like millions
and million box boxes were recalled
not because of anything in the in the
actual ingredients and it was actually
because of something in the Box itself
gave off the smell or this weird taste
that creates some nauseousness
so um apparently according to them the
box is uh worse than the actual material
on the inside so
I guess it’s okay to eat the uh the
actual cereal just don’t eat the box it
came in like every time you eat
something like that some of that box
does end up in the cereal it does leech
out and you’re actually indirectly
eating the box so it might not be good
but
what’s uh fascinating to me about some
of these cereals as I was looking I’ve
added like Steve I don’t know if you’ve
ever been to a grocery store lately but
they’re they’re actually and this is
hard to believe there’s actually entire
aisles that sell cereal entire aisles of
the grocery store that actually sell
cereal and uh you know I’m sure kids I
can’t imagine I know it’s hard to
believe but I’m just going what the if
you ever read what’s in there
and um it’s very funny though if you
look at um
you know Kellogg’s what they say about
the cereal it’s like it’s part of a
nutrient dense diet I’m not kidding
nutrient dense and and they can say that
because they’re adding synthetic
vitamins to it because there’s nothing
left but there’s hydrogenated oils
there’s um different types of sugar
there’s maltodextrin and MSG and there’s
just about every other thing you can
imagine but um
boy
um and they also did say that it’s not
correlated with um with weight gain in
children
of course when you read that study
um what they did is they compared
eatiness I think some of that cereal
with uh
white bread or something like that so
anyway everything is relative
I’ll get off the topic but um I would
definitely avoid eating the box if I
were you that sounds like something you
know Dr bergam is 69 so my childhood was
like Mayberry and Andy Griffiths and so
on and you could not find a heavy person
on the horizon when I was a kid if
someone was overweight it was a
spectacle because we all ran around
outside or whatever and we ate crappily
I mean we had you know uh Wonder Bread
with peanut butter and jelly but we just
burned it off and I remember you
mentioning a couple of the hands that
work with you on the uh on the farm
there that are just in great shape but
they eat moon pies and RC colas for
lunch but they don’t stop all day so
there is a a benefit right I guess to
lower consumption or higher
um you know higher a greater deal of
exercise and when you combine uh Corn
Pops with uh sedentary lifestyle that’s
just especially awful Isn’t it
you could say that again you could
definitely say that again wow all right
let’s see let’s move on from there back
to
um social media a shout out to our
viewers in Saudi Arabia North Cyprus
Brunel Puerto Rico and Argentina okay
great I didn’t want to leave them out
they called her from YouTube can you
talk about Hyperbaric treatments uh can
how they might help with cancer
you know I tried that I I like them a
lot I um it’s great to help
um Drive oxygen into the deep part of
your body and and kind of resolve areas
of hypoxia and also a rehab of stroke
problems and I forgot to mention that as
well
um so I’ve had people go in there and
help even grow part of their bone back
that’s not been responding to typical
therapy so there’s a lot of benefits
including um there’s some research on
cancer so I don’t have all the data but
I think it’s worth to jump into but um
yeah you go into this uh just make sure
just make sure that when you go into one
of these tanks that you uh don’t have
any static electricity in your
you know your undergarments if you’re
wearing a t-shirt because we don’t want
a spark in oxygen right that would be a
bad situation so I think they have that
result because they ground you when you
go in there but it’s um I like it I like
it I do recommend it I think it’s a
great great therapy for a lot of
different things
sorry about that doc let’s see I got
distracted and that happens very easily
with me uh here we go let’s go to
Facebook Michael uh what healthy
alternatives can you suggest to
commercial toothpaste is that an issue
I think it’s a it is a minor issue but
it is an issue and I I have videos on
how to make your own toothpaste um but
there also is a you know convenient
um toothpaste that you can buy that are
alternative that doesn’t have um the
fluorides in them I I don’t like
fluoride in toothpaste
um I don’t even recommend the fluoride
treatments for making your teeth whiter
because it leeches into the in the
system and it’s very very um
um oxidizing and irritating to your
tissues and a good thing they don’t put
that in the water supply and I’m being
sarcastic because they do so you want to
get a
fluoride filter for your shower too to
pull it out and you’re going to find
your skin it’s going to be much better
if you don’t expose it to uh that
fluoride not to mention chloride
all right very good why don’t we kick it
off with another question these have
been so wonderful uh and here’s a real
quick one a true falcer
okay true or false oatmeal is gluten
free
there you have it climb on it audience
and let’s now go back to our green room
and let’s pick on Nancy who’s in
Maryland and Nancy if you would unmute
yourself you’re on with Dr Berg for a
quick question please
happy birthday Dr Byrd thank you
um
I started eating natto from the store
for vitamin K and I have been off of
oligums for uh several years in order to
control my diabetes
no meds for years
will natto disrupt keto or my blood
sugar and is the GMO soy going to
disrupt my endocrine system
also is black soy natto nutritionally
equivalent to the white soy product
and would you consider a future video on
Khan’s disease which is hyper
aldosteronism you know I I don’t know if
I’ll do a video on that simply because
it’s not as common but I will maybe do a
blog post on that for sure but uh
sometimes there’s all sorts of um things
that are just more rare that um
honestly like it would be just a
selective very small group of people but
uh let’s talk about this NATO NATO is um
a fermented soybean not as popular in
the U.S but some people are learning
about it but
um it’s very high in vitamin K2 very
good source about MK2 which is amazing
to drive the calcium into the bone to
keep the calcium out of the arteries
keep the calcium out of the joint so
that’s uh that’s good
um if you could find one non-GMO that
would be really good I’m not crazy about
the GMO soy because you’re going to get
um
that glyphosate that’s an herbicide okay
that’s an herbicide that’s in so many
different things it’s not just in GMO
food it’s actually they use it as a way
to kill
um oats
and kill
um
kill off the wheat quickly so they can
dry it up as a drying agent
because it kills plants really fast but
it does um tend to mess with our
microbiome right in our guts and it is
um definitely
um considered a carcinogenic so it does
cause cancer but of course
Monsanto said no it doesn’t it’s
completely safe so they’ve done their
own studies
um so the point is that um I would
probably find an organic one or get my
K2 from something else I’m not sure
about the different forms of
black soil versus the other one I’m not
sure about that um but if you want to
get a good source of vitamin K2 it’s
actually in a lot of a fattier cheeses
and it’s also an egg yolks and um
um
it’s also in grass-fed butter a little
bit of K2 is in there or you can give us
a supplement so that would be my long
answer Nancy but um
thank you
that’s great thanks so much Nancy for
joining us and please get back with us
you’re welcome that’s wonderful all
right let’s see why don’t we answer
another question and it was our third
question of the day which simply asked
true false oatmeal is gluten free and
simply answered
um
sixty percent of our respondents say
it’s false and forty percent say it’s
absolutely true
winners okay so yeah it’s been known to
be um gluten free but but there’s a diff
there is a type of
similar
chemical or protein similar to gluten
uh and about 50 of the people who are
already sensitive to gluten they’ll have
a problem with oats okay so so it’s the
answer is technically
it is gluten free but there’s a similar
protein I think it’s called Avan avanine
Avenue or something like that but anyway
this protein can um
create similar effects but it’s delayed
as far as the effects so it’s sometimes
hard to identify it when you eat it it
doesn’t always create a reaction right
away it might take several days later so
you might not connect the dots and this
is a problem with a lot of things that
you know all of a sudden you start
getting headaches for example out of the
blue for no reason it could have been
something that you consume two days
previously
so anyway uh that being said
um
oatmeal is um you know
a lot of people have it for the fiber
and unfortunately
um we’ll talk more about fiber in just a
minute but uh
there’s much better uh breakfast foods
and that would be like eggs things like
that
um but I know a lot of people will not
give up their oatmeal because
you know they have uncles that have
eaten it and they’re they’re 95 years
old and they’re fine so might as well
keep doing it absolutely here’s some
more gushing for you Dr Berg Ruth from
Facebook thank you Dr Berg for your many
videos to help us uh stay healthy my
husband and I watch you frequently so
have a wonderful birthday and thank you
for your kind and giving heart we so
appreciate you so isn’t that great doc
that’s awesome all right thank you and
here’s some other ones that want to
selfishly ring information out of you so
go to Gina from Facebook what is a good
remedy for dry skin caused by guttate
psoriasis you hear that one
now
um
if you have dry skin the the best
antidote for that would be um
the um it’s it’s actually an oil uh you
want more essential fatty acids like the
omega-3 fatty acids but specifically
that is called GLA
um which is a type of fat that you can
get in borage oil
I’m sorry not Voyage oil it’s a black
currant seed oil that would be the best
black currant seed oil um helps in that
conversion of the um the oils to
something that you’re
sebaceous glands which are the oil
glands can actually accept and
um
that should help your skin overall but
you can do it topically or I would
recommend just taking it as a supplement
and you definitely want to avoid the
Omega the other common omega-6 fatty
acids even though GLA is an omega-6 you
want to take um you want to avoid the
soy corn canola those oils because that
can throw off this GLA oil that’s
actually really good for the skin
especially if you get like dry flaky
skin that is an Omega
fatty acid deficiency because you’re
having too many of the wrong ones
okay very good
roses and daisies is a person’s name
from YouTube how can you increase
aromatase or estrogen production in a
pre-menopausal females that necessary
Don
I don’t think you want to do that I
don’t think you want to increase the
Roma taste that’s going to turn the
testosterone into more estrogen I don’t
think that’s the best way to do it I
think um
another way that if you want to balance
out your estrogens to make sure you have
let’s say a nicer balance so there’s
less of the
the harmful one more of the others
um cruciferous vegetables will do it
that will do it so
um but yeah you don’t want to start to
do increasing aromatase because it’s
gonna
create problems yeah don’t fiddle with
that huh okay heimel from YouTube I have
a sun allergy after a c-section that’s
interesting I tried B3 as you suggested
but it’s not working I eat only organic
foods and not on any Pharmaceuticals
well else can heimel try Dr Berg
yeah I’m doing a lot of DNA testing and
I’m finding a lot of people
um a lot of people have a have a
resistance against vitamin D
and so
um Believe It or Not vitamin D actually
can protect against some of the UV
radiation and
um so vitamin D would be one thing to
take as a supplement especially if you
have some genetic problem with that but
the other thing is vitamin B1 B1 helps
to tolerate
um
problems with either too much irritation
from too much sun or heat
or even cold so let’s say for example
you’re sensitive to heat or cold or sun
then vitamin B will help you so that way
you can tolerate more of that of these
extreme temperatures and definitely jump
into that ice bath that you’ve been
dying to jump into and tolerate it
okay some people just are going to hang
onto this oatmeal thing and that one is
and from Facebook what are your thoughts
on sprouted oatmeal is that a phenomena
or something good I think that’s awesome
I think that’s a great option in fact
you can you can eat as much grain if you
as you want as long as you sprout them
and Sprout them into microgreens and put
those on your salad that way you can
have your grains and you get all the
phytonutrients and without the
anti-nutrients which is the phytic acid
so that would be a really smart solution
wow Terry I thought he might fuss with
you but no you’re on the right track so
keep keep on sprouting sounds like a
great thing to do all right let’s uh go
back for another question here this is a
true falcer and as promised doc someone
was asking about constipation and here
you go
okay question true or false constipation
is caused by a lack of fiber in the diet
what do you think audience
okay let’s see um
we already asked about toothpaste and
you said go for that let me look here
I had a stroke
uh
oh here’s interesting pure Spirit from
YouTube what are your thoughts about red
light therapy
I think it’s awesome awesome the red
right therapy gives you infrared and it
has all sorts of really cool benefits it
can increase uh melatonin not I mean
this is a melatonin that’s in your whole
body which is a very powerful
antioxidant and it’s not just about
hearing your sleep cycles so it’s one of
the most powerful antioxidants so
there’s people use red light therapy to
um from many different reasons but it
penetrates the body in fact over 50
percent of the sun Sun’s rays are
infrared and you also get infrared when
the sun sets so um sitting you know at
night when you watch the sun set you
actually get get some good more
infrared and it’s easier to be be
exposed to that and also a campfire or a
fireplace or a candle you can get
infrared but infrared is um very
therapeutic for pain inflammation and
overall healing uh I like it people use
have these lasers for their skin and for
their brain health and but it does
penetrate a couple inches into the body
so I’ve done a whole video on that I’ve
done several videos on that laughs
I mean cough button
I can’t believe it I pushed the button
then start coughing that’s not the way
it’s supposed to work okay
excuse me audience while I choked it out
okay the uh
fourth question was quickly asked
there’s a true false or constipation is
the cause is caused by a lack of fiber
in the diet and as usual our audience
has an opinion 65 percent of them say
it’s false and 35 percent say it’s true
anyone left embarrassed here doc you
know it’s it’s always this everyone
knows that it’s lack of fiber right just
eat more fiber you know here’s the
here’s the data on that and I’m going to
create a video on this the great
majority of people have constipation
especially chronic constipation are
already consuming a lot of fiber it’s
not working so that I mean think about
what constipation is it’s a traffic jam
you’re completely impacted you’re
congested right and then to add more
fiber which adds more bulk and and
volume to an already over congested
colon would that make logical sense
Steve what do you think
I’m guessing no no it’s not a good thing
you you’re gonna find you’re going to
find that if you actually reduce the
fiber you probably will your
constipation will probably go away now
this is one of those things that goes
against
consent the medical consensus but it
it’s true I remember
um switching or meeting all this fiber
and of course I was doing fiber from my
so-called whole you know whole grain
diet
um with beans and everything I remember
going to uh just more meats and
hamburger and I was like why are my my
bowel movements are so much better
because
um it was just bizarre but the point is
that the fiber sometimes for for a lot
of people can bind them up now I’m the
guy that recommends vegetables right but
if you take them and it binds you up
that means you need to do carnivore if
you it means that you probably have some
low grade inflammation or something
going on with the colon in which case
you can’t tolerate those vegetable
fibers but if you can I would recommend
it because there’s a lot of benefits
in Plants but
um I also think you should do Meats at
the same time for those people that have
a
low tolerance they can’t they just have
they don’t tolerate red meat and things
like that it’s probably because they
don’t have enough stomach acid to digest
it more than anything else
so that’s a whole different topic
alrighty Danette from YouTube I have
scoliosis and polymyalgia any natural
ways to address these conditions
well I would get on it get in a um a
really good
um ketogenic diet reduce inflammation
okay
um in your joints and but with scoliosis
chances are the the underlying root
cause of that um happen when you’re
really young because somehow you were
deficient in vitamin D which can create
um all sorts of structural skeletal
problems in life
so unfortunately if the bones if you’re
older now it’s not it’s going to be hard
to reverse that and in fact probably POS
impossible because the Bones have
already grown in the S shape so you’re
going to have to work on a lot of
stretching and myofascial stretching
that’s what you want to do is you want
to stretch the fascia the fascia through
the body and that’s um there’s you can
just look that up on YouTube and do that
but that’ll probably give you the most
relief
um out of anything
um but uh yeah that’s a that’s
definitely a situation but um in reduced
the inflammation too by omega-6 fatty
acids a really good
uh natural remedy for inflammation I
like is nettle root stingy nettle root
it’s uh quite and you can grow it it’s
very easy to grow it’s like it grows
like a weed it’s probably even growing
in your backyard and
um
you can go ahead and take that and put
it into a tea or a in the blender and
put it in your salad and eat it yum okay
let’s go back to the Green Room little
needles in it so be careful of that very
good and Beth anticipated I was going to
call on her because she snapped to
attention and she’s in front of the
camera and she’s now determined to ask
you one question and get it out in 30
seconds Beth go
happy birthday Dr Berg
um I’m questioning about what
supplements to take to heal thyroid it’s
hyperthyroidism and
um I want to get off the medication
which hasn’t been helping me and also
wanted to know if the prolonged fasting
will hurt my thyroid or not
I think the prolonged fasting will help
your thyroid because
um it the thyroid can is all about
um
metabolism and so
um it’s going to work less if you don’t
eat but do you have an autoimmune
hyperthyroidism
one time my doctor said that it was or
wrote that it was Hashimoto’s but she’s
never actually told me that it was
Hashimoto’s
so it was it hyper or hypo because um
hypo okay yeah so selenium selenium
that’s the trace mineral that you need
mostly
um that’s the thing that I would
recommend because that’s going to build
up the
um the glutathione that’s going to be
um the detoxer the thing that you really
want to avoid make sure you avoid like
the plague is any any type of gluten
because gluten has been known to um
trigger that autoimmune and start
working on your gut too
um probiotics things to heal the gut
that’s been a really good effective
remedy for the autoimmune as well as
higher amounts of vitamin D3 and then
lastly it wouldn’t hurt to do a good DNA
test because
you know as I’m looking at the DNA test
there’s a whole bunch of um interesting
information on why someone could
potentially
have continued health problems and it
could be related to
a whole spectrum of things but without
getting that test you’re just guessing
you know sometimes it’s the
boy my body doesn’t detoxify other times
it doesn’t make antioxidants so I have
oxidative stress other times it’s um
I’m not able to absorb B12 that well or
um
or have iron overload all these things
can create a problem I’ve actually just
did two recently uh and they had
problems with iron they accumulate iron
and I’m like
wow that’s important to know here you
are trying to get healthy and all of a
sudden you take red meat and you feel
worse well it’s because it’s too much
iron
so
um there’s all sorts of great data you
can get I will be doing more videos on
that topic
um very soon but there’s a it’s a big
project so
hang in there
sounds great and Beth I’m going to give
you a little trade secret here and if
you want to watch more videos from Dr
Berg conveniently you’re going to want
to immediately download his app and
that’s for Android or for iOS so that’s
another organized way of getting through
the wonderful information the doc has
available
and uh Beth please get back with us and
let us know how you’re doing we always
love to hear the aftermath of a
successful regime okay Kareem from
YouTube he’s 18 and been diagnosed with
stage two Hodgkins my doctor said I’ll
start chemo in three weeks and he’s
scared of it
um you know anything that he could do I
mean is that something well I know you
don’t want to well there’s definitely
um
one point about Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
there’s a high correlation with the
glyphosate
yeah
so um what I would do is I would um
research that and completely and utterly
get that out of the diet I would watch
my cancer videos I would start doing a
prolonged fast start doing that and then
do the protocol that is recommended for
that now again these are none of my
supplements so I’m not trying to
tell you that there’s any cures but if
you’re doing I think it could be done
parallel with what you’re doing with
your doctor but of course check with
your doctor before implementing that
and um
so that’s that’s what I would recommend
very good uh all the best to you Kareem
and I guess that’s that’s Roundup isn’t
it is that glyphosphate or
that’s correct and even in Roundup
they’ve even found that there’s some
additional additives
that create problems as well in the
Roundup that’s not even glyphosate so
and uh it’s very hard to um
find out what those are but they have
identified it and um I think it’s one of
my videos that I did on this but so it’s
not just glyphosate it’s the whole
package that it comes with
all right very good let’s go back to a
truth false or hang up
let’s go to our final question here and
here it is Dot
okay so what is the best way to increase
microbial diversity in your gut
okay fascinating question audience climb
on it please and let’s see we have this
is really interesting a disembodied gas
named Richard and he’s floating around
out there in The Ether somewhere and he
doesn’t have a picture but uh Earth to
Richard are you there
I’m here there you go go ahead with your
one question 30 seconds from The Ether
happy birthday hey thanks
so
I’m 76 years old I was born with
excessive amount of mucus and gas that
I’ve had every moment of my life I’ve
tried a number of different things to
deal with it including um going on a
fruit diet in 1971 for eight years
because I read the mucous diet healing
system so I’ve tried a lot of different
things I’ve been trying to figure out
how to determine where the mucus
originates you said it could be in the
back of the throat it could be in the
larynx the sinuses
and um
I have a lot of other questions too
which I’d like to ask you but let’s
start with that I think there’s a I’m
glad you gave me two at least two things
to kind of look at because there is a
connection between both of these right
here if we take a look at what gas is
yes it could be from some foods that
you’re eating including fruit that can
increase gas but typically
having gas usually means low stomach
acid and it just so happens if you have
low stomach acid you could also have
generated more mucus that kind of can
come up all the way up into esophagus up
through the back of the throat believe
it or not so what I would do at least
try if I were you is I would start
taking betaine hydrochloride and take
small amounts like maybe one with a meal
and then each meal add another one
throughout the meal as you’re chewing
and swallowing so you can spread it out
until you achieve a state of no more gas
and and see if that affects the mucus
too because it could be
coming up because the valve is enclosing
for some reason I tried beating oh sorry
yeah go ahead I tried beating
hydrochloride and I on two of them it
there was an intense burning sensation
okay so if there’s an intense burning on
just two of them what that tells me you
probably have because it’s been going on
so long right atopic gastritis that is
another condition that’s very common
um especially as you get older where the
you start losing the stomach uh the wall
of the mucosal layer and then the body
overcompensate with more mucus but you
start losing the the production of
hydrochloric acid the cells that make it
and then the body will start making more
it kind of comp overcompensates so it
creates more problems and more acid or a
gastric acid and uh so now you have the
situation where you might be very very
deficient in B12 because there’s a
connection between
something else connected to that so B12
and folate is something that you
probably want to take in the right forms
too like the methyl versions of that
um that if it’s uh one good remedy for a
atropic gastritis would be sulforaphane
in the Sprouts if you can grow them
yourself that would be best especially
like cabbage Sprouts or consume cabbage
that might be a good thing to start
healing that stomach but
um I will be releasing a video soon on
digestion that I talk more about that in
more an extensive way so we can get into
it more but uh start looking at the
atropic gastritis because I think the
problem is we have to acidify the
stomach to fix it but we can’t because
there’s
there’s inflammation still in the
stomach itself so you have to heal that
with various things and then eventually
acidify it and then you’ll probably be a
lot better hey Richard I wish we had
more time for some questions but
unfortunately we’re on a short clock but
please do follow Dr Berg’s
recommendations of watching his videos
and then uh talk anyone can write you a
Dr Berg drberg.com is that right not
that you can answer all of anyone could
write me I don’t know if they’ll they’ll
get a response now but no I’m just
kidding um now that’s what we do the um
that’s why we do this show here because
um I mean I just like even the video
that I did I think it was yesterday
within the first couple hours there was
four thousand
you know comments and questions so it’s
like it’s it’s hard to do this so I’m
thinking about just giving out my cell
phone number so I can just one by one
answer it but that’s that would be crazy
so
um I think the best thing to do is kind
of just write it in the comments I do
read these a lot and I’ll start doing a
video on the questions and but I’m
telling you I’d say
90 of most the questions are in a video
the problem is just trying to find them
right and so
I’m creating some books right now and
also on the um if you go to my even my
website Dr Berg it’s easier to search
specific things than on YouTube
okay very good by the way I’ve got your
cell phone uh right here audience you’re
ready
I better not do that all right let’s see
but you do hey Richard a second well I’m
just following your your guidance and I
know anyway I did I did a video I did a
video once and uh
um
in person with someone and they somehow
my cell phone got on the video and all
of a sudden I started getting all these
calls from people all over the place and
I’m like how did you get my number
so yeah wow all right so uh put another
video yeah so yeah absolutely let me see
here Dr Berg uh
uh let’s uh I think we’ve got everybody
in the green room that’s terrific dead
man six from YouTube my wife uh is a
Kidney donor is it safe for her to do
the keto diet I guess she’s already
given up the kidney
well I think you have well you have well
one kidney or you have a new one that um
I think she donated it yeah
you know if you have advanced
Advanced kidney disease well then that’s
a whole different topic because
um you have to be in a special diet but
if it’s not Advanced uh I think a
ketogenic diet can protect the kidneys
because it’s it’s very gentle it’s a
very anti-inflammatory and um
even with the the type that I recommend
that the more vegetables the the
potassium is very um it’s protective of
the kidney this whole idea that you
can’t have potassium
because it’s going to just destroy the
kidney is
completely a lie because it’s only if
you have advanced end stage kidney
failure when you can’t have potassium
and phosphorus and other things so um
then people associate oh my gosh
then I can’t have potassium at all no no
you need you need potassium for the
kidney believe me
okay very good let’s see
what uh Anil from Facebook what is the
best treatment for hypertension for a
female over 65 years of age
well the the two things that jump right
out
um vitamin D will help lower blood
pressure more vitamin D
also potassium will lower blood pressure
those are the two ones and I’m assuming
you’re on the ketogenic diet because
having too many carbs can
create stiffening of the arteries
and that can increase the blood pressure
as well
um
I would say 90 of all hypertension is
idiopathic
and you’re probably going what does that
mean it means idiopathic means unknown
cause
they don’t know in fact it goes along
with a lot of other diseases but I would
say out of that vitamin D is probably at
the top of the list and also potassium
so those are the two things I would try
first
okay very good our final question today
asked and we got to them all very proud
of that what is the best way to increase
microbial diversity in your gut and our
astute audience 80 percent said
fermented feuds like kimchi and
sauerkraut 10 say probiotics and the
last 10 percent say prebiotics
guess what everyone is correct because
if you actually if you can
um give eat a food that has um a variety
of microbes now think about this you can
get a probiotic right and if you look at
the back of the label it’ll just it’ll
say like maybe between 1 3 10 maybe if
you’re lucky 15 different strains but
guess how many strains you have in
sauerkraut or kimchi or even kefir
you have hundreds of different or even
thousands of different of strains of
microbes so talk so getting eating more
Diversified microbes will improve your
diversity but also diversity of foods so
Steve let me ask you when you eat a
salad what type of lettuce leaf do you
use in your salad
Dr Berg I can’t hear you hello are you
there no I I actually Iceberg yeah
Iceberg and I do like salads I mean I’m
not a good guy all the times with diet
but I love salad so iceberg is what I
generally use and sometimes I guess
Romaine
okay so if you were to go to the grocery
store like I know you do and you shop
for your family and your wife you should
buy a variety of plants things you
haven’t tried before and make your salad
with different types of plants and
um and salad leaves not just the same
the diversity of those different plants
will start to increase the diversity of
your gut and you will find that that’s
going to improve so many things for your
immune system to your digestion and so
you know stick some parsley and cilantro
in there and all sorts of things don’t
just have like one thing
um and also if you add in micro greens
that are grown in actual soil whether
you make them yourself or buy them
it’s hard to find them on soil believe
it or not we just had them tested we
went we I was sent into the lab had them
tested because I was curious
you talk about
hundreds and hundreds of different
strains of microbes in that micro grain
hundreds of difference of microbes
you’re actually eating a probiotic when
you’re eating some of these plants and
uh I looked at one of the microorganisms
and I looked at also
the DNA
the proteins in that in the microgreen
and I’ve I was I was I’m not done
evaluating but just one thing like these
things they have programs to make
vitamin B1 so they’re making B1
um it’s fascinating so there’s a there’s
a lot more than just uh the vitamins and
minerals and phytonutrients in some of
these soil based healthy plants there
are microbes that you can get they have
their own microbiome that you can take
as a probiotic Believe It or Not wow so
you know I’m really excited Lori and I
and I know the audience is too about the
idea of growing some stuff in the house
I don’t know if you’ve launched a video
on that or not but man I’d love to start
that what we’re doing is we’re um I’m
working now
with this with this Farm we’re growing
our own ingredients it’s a big project
but we’re also
um I have a very uh awesome expert
farmer who’s helping me with this so he
we’re actually um he specializes in
microgreens he’s gonna he’s creating a
course right now
um just to teach people how to grow
their own food in their house
um not just for cost benefits but for um
making the healthiest salad you ever had
and I know this might be shocking but
not Everyone likes to eat 10 cups of
salad a day so you could do a small
amount of microgreens a very tiny bit
and get a similar uh nutrients so that
would be another benefit for Steve
yay
and maybe you can replace your iceberg
lettuce uh with some of that Steve I
mean come on Iceberg come on well they
got a whole big case of it over there at
Food Lion so
oh my goodness I’ll I’ll get with you
later Steve on that we’ll have a
consultation all right on that on that
no I want to just say thank you for
everyone for um the wonderful um
birthday wishes I appreciate that all
your attention the comments have a
wonderful weekend and uh like I said
before it’s I’m not looking forward to
being in my 40s but um but it’s rough
you know but have a great weekend I will
see you next week same time same place
