hey dr. Berg here in this video we’re

going to talk about the digestive system

now the purpose of the digestive system

is to take the food that you eat break

it down into very small particles and

extract nutrients from it to allow you

to convert food to body tissues like

hair nails skin heart liver lungs all

the body parts and it’s really simple

there’s all there’s like five different

parts of the digestive system you have

the liver stomach gall bladder pancreas

and intestine now the purpose of the

liver is to help make digestive juices

that’s one of the purposes that’s stored

in the gall bladder

so the gall bladder is a reservoir or a

holding tank for the digestive juices

that come out of the liver the purpose

of the stomach is to produce acid to

break down proteins and this strength of

that stomach acid is so powerful so

acidic it can dissolve a razorblade so

we need to digest the protein here and

then it goes right into the right into

this part of the small intestine where

it’s activated by this digestive juice

from the gall bladder comes out that’s

called bile B I le not bow-like waste

but bile and that the purpose of the

bile is to break down fats and to

extract nutrients from the fats like

vitamin A E K and D those are called fat

soluble vitamins you have a water

soluble but you also effects I have a

vitamin so you’re going to find vitamin

A D and K in fatty foods okay

now right here the pancreas produces a

lot of different enzymes to digest

carbohydrates proteins and fats as well

it also makes certain hormones and then

all this bacteria down here give like a

over a hundred trillion bacteria that

are helping you break down food even

further and they have little hairs in

the small intestine like little roots

that absorb all the nutrients like a

root in a plant pulls it in and it goes

right into the liver and it goes into

the cells okay so that would be the

summary of the five areas of digestion

so the gallbladder right here is does

not produce anything it actually holds

something

it holds bile and what happens is it

fills up with bowel when you eat and

then it squishes and it contracts that

vile that goes down these little tubes

they’re called bile ducts now if there’s

a problem with not enough bile you will

start developing stones like this and so

now the bile can’t be released because

it gets all plugged up and then they

have to remove it now when that thing

swells up and it gets too big it pushes

on a nerve that goes all up to the right

shoulder and the neck and can cause all

sorts of issues we’ll get into that in a

second but a normal gallbladder should

be free of golf stones and it should be

able to push the bile through this duct

right here okay let’s talk about bile

what is bile bile B il e is the

detergent that dissolves the grease or

the oil from your foods the fats and

that includes even fat’s in vegetables

as well so you have vitamin A D and K

and E that it extracts from the food so

here’s what happens I’m just going to do

a little demonstration here if my

cameraman could hold this for a second

I’m going to open this thing up here and

we’re going to take this dishwashing

liquid which is detergent and pour it

into the oil okay so we’re just going to

pour that in there and we’re going to

just give this back right here and

what’s happening now is this detergent

is breaking down the oil I’m going to

make sure this should shake sealed

pretty good because I’m going to start

to shake this here and start to dissolve

it okay so let’s look the gallbladder

desk with fats look at what happens it’s

breaking down the fats into small little

particles so we go from fat to fatty

acids fatty acids are small particles of

the fat and this is exactly what bile

does to that fat that you eat it breaks

it down so you

can use it and extracts the nutrients

vitamin A D and K now the thing that you

need to realize is that it also acts as

a detox er so if there’s anything toxic

in the liver or there’s dust in the body

or particles that you breathe in or

preservatives or whatever it will go to

the liver and come out through that mile

so bile is important in the

detoxification of chemicals and toxins

so each year 20 million people are

diagnosed with gall bladder problems and

over half that’s 10 million people have

their gallbladders removed so when the

gall bladder is removed or it’s

dysfunctional that doesn’t mean the

problem is gone that means you’re never

going to have enough file to be able to

help you digest here’s some common

symptoms that occur with a bile is

deficiency number one bloating because

you don’t have anything to digest

everything’s going to be because bile is

a lubricant everything’s going to be

constipated as well so you have

constipation burping belching those are

the top 3 right shoulder pain why

because when that thing enlarges it’s

going to push a nerve called the phrenic

nerve that goes all the way up to right

through here up into your neck and even

in your scapula back here right back in

the back part right there so anything on

the right side it could be underneath

the right ribcage heaviness on the right

side on the upper part of your body and

right side of the neck and of course

headaches nauseated

that’s why females when they will have a

baby and all that’s different pressure

that puts up in the gall bladder they’re

going to become nauseated headaches or

migraines 98% of all headaches are

related to the gallbladder or lacking a

bile now if you have a headache and you

were to press right on this one point

over here where the gall bladders and

give it some relief and allow it to

drain the headache’ probably would be

relieved now we also have not satisfied

when you eat if there’s not enough bile

you’re not going to feel satisfied

you’re going to feel like you’re missing

something because you’re not pulling the

nutrients from

the fats or the foods so you’re always

going to be missing and you’re going to

want to keep eating also you’re going to

crave fried foods or you need a little

bit of sweet after you eat because the

bile is very essential in regulating the

blood sugars because if you’re pulling

nutrients out you’re stabilizing the

blood sugars and then itchy skin itchy

eyes hives that would be another symptom

of gallbladder problems and also

sneezing it’s another one now bile is

made out of cholesterol now I know

people have this thing about cholesterol

it’s bad and everything but here’s the

facts and cholesterol 75 percent of the

cholesterol in your body right now is

made by your own body it makes it

surrounds the raw material that build

the membranes of all your cells in your

body it’s raw material to build all the

sex hormones in your body including

cortisol which is for an

anti-inflammatory your lens of your eye

the retina it’s used to balance out

estrogen and a female so it’s very very

necessary to regulate hormones to help

heal the tissue especially under stress

and without enough cholesterol there’s a

lot of other symptoms because your body

will start to basically cannibalize

parts of your tissue that have the

cholesterol to use that back so the

thing is its cholesterol is not a bad

thing but it excesses it can be a bad

thing but as long as you’re eating

enough greens and vegetables you’re safe

because all that vegetable will flush

out any type of buildup of cholesterol

I’m not saying eat huge steaks and all

this fat and bacon grease but I’m not

opposed to it if you consume the amount

of vegetables to clean out the liver

there’s nothing wrong with some fatty

foods as long as your your liver is

healthy okay but the point is that when

you mix all the breads pasta cereal

breaded meats and all that cooked fried

food and you have this little side salad

that’s not going to be enough to get the

liver so that so that’s why you have a

problem with cholesterol and also

carbohydrates like refined sure

bread and pasta and carbs convert into

cholesterol as well all right

so those are some common symptoms and if

you don’t have the bile you won’t be

able to multi-on break down the

cholesterol and it can build up in the

body as well now because the vitamins

the fat side vitamins are associated

with bile problems if you don’t have

enough file you become deficient in

vitamin A and that’s when the vision

becomes a problem at night night

blindness and dry skin vitamin A is for

the skin and the eye so you get dry

cornea or eye dry eyes and then you get

a lot of other skin problems with

vitamin A accutane is a type of vitamin

A so what does that use for acne skin

problems

warts cornea issues little growths of

that little deposit on your eyes so

vitamin A is very important but it’s not

necessarily what you eat that makes you

healthy it’s what you digest without

that bile which I find a lot of people

don’t have in a file

you can’t extract the vitamin A to get

the relief or the benefits from vitamin

A vitamin A supports all the mucous

membranes in your sinuses so when you

start digesting and getting vitamin A

your sinuses clear up as well vitamin D

is a fat sack of vitamin so you can get

winter blues depression that time like

in the winter bone health by the mini is

muscle tissues without vitamin E the

heart has to work really hard because

it’s not going to be able to retain the

oxygen to the heart so you’re going to

lose endurance so you go up an incline

and you get out of breath very easily

that’s because vitamin E is a fat

soluble vitamin so the heart and muscles

are can need that vitamin A the retina

retinal degeneration occurs in the

absence of vitamin E because vitamin E

is a great healer for certain tissues

and the pituitary runs on vitamin E as

well so during menopause because you

lose the ovaries the requirement of

vitamin E goes up by a hundred 100 X

because the pituitary is not working

like it did before

in the butt so that’s just another thing

after

menopause you see a lot of women that

just dry out but you can’t absorb

vitamin E if you don’t have the bile all

right then we have items’ and k you need

that for the bone health and in a

deficiency you’ll have bleeding bloody

noses so those are some of the symptoms

of a bile deficiency okay so now let’s

talk about the causes of a problem with

the gall bladder in a bile issue number

one junk food that would include breads

pasta cereal crackers biscuits waffles

pancakes all those wonderful things

fatty foods why because too much fat can

clog up that whole system what can a

great the gallbladder are nuts when you

start eating a lot of nuts –is you

start eating healthy and you start

loading yourself up with nuts or peanut

butter and you start having right

shoulder pain that’s because it’s

aggravating the bile ducts which is

going right up to the right shoulder

okay sugar will do it we talked about

grains soy protein isolates yeah that

there’s been no it’s been known that it

can create liver tumors so it’s very

irritating to the liver now where do you

find soy protein isolates a lot of

vegetarian patties that they have at the

store vegetarian food it’s also in a lot

of diet foods all those prepackaged

foods read the label a lot of protein

powders have soy protein excellence as a

cheap protein but it’s very hard on the

gallbladder in the liver

I had a gal come in she did a diet down

the street and they gave her this

protein powder and it was just soy

protein chocolate flavored soy protein

isolate

she started burping for an entire year

and no one knew what it was it’s just

basically destroyed her gallbladder she

couldn’t stop burping and that’s why she

came to see me cook protein too much

heavy cooked protein because it you’re

when you eat cooked protein there’s no

enzymes enzymes are destroyed with the

heat and it drew acid these guys have to

work harder even when you eat roasted

peanuts it will make the pancreas

enlarge because it has to produce more

enzymes to digest that roasted nut I’m

not saying not that don’t worry about

cutting that out if you’re eating good

overall you don’t worry about it

but if you’re just eating all cooked

foods that

be very bad for the liver and then we

have alcohol of course that’s a given

and then estrogen estrogen will

constrict this duct and cause problems

with the bile as well that’s one of the

side effects and that would be birth

control pills hormone replacement

therapy becoming pregnant that spikes

the estrogen that time of the month when

you spikes the estrogen or actually

ovulation a fibroid can cause too much

estrogen doing too many soy products

will cause a lot of estrogen problems so

estrogen can definitely create a issue

with that and also cause headaches

cortisol cortisol is connected in the

recycling process of bile so over a

period of time when you get really

stressed out over many many years it

will deplete your bile and cause

digestive problems so you start bloating

like you eat something you feel like

you’re pregnant and then at night you’re

more bloated in during the morning it’s

actually flattens because there’s less

stress okay so there’s a connection

between stress and digestion and then

lack of the right foods if you’re not

eating enough vegetables you’re going to

end up with a problem with this because

this the vegetables clean this thing out

there’s some interesting points if you

find that you sleep on your left side

and it’s more comfortable than the right

side I’m sorry if you sleep on the right

side and it’s more comfortable than the

left side chances are this there’s a

problem with the liver in the

gallbladder because the hearts over here

and so if you sleep on your left side

down this thing is too heavy it’s going

to compress and push like a vise on the

heart and it’s going to be hard to

breathe so the best position to sleep

with a gall bladder on your right side

okay also the thyroid works through the

liver in order eighty percent of the

thyroid is converted to an active form

of thyroid hormone in the liver so if

this is blocked up down here you may

find that the thyroid might not work as

well and also with a problem with this

you’re going to have you’re going to

start building up estrogen and that

indirectly decreases testosterone and

that’s why you see a lot of men that

start out getting breast tissue you’re

going to breast

answer they’re losing their chest hair

all these problems with estrogen and

progesterone so there’s one of the

products that I use is called gall

bladder formula and I created it not

just to give the person some bile salts

but I put several things in there

because there’s a lot of different

issues that can occur with with the gall

bladder number one it could be too thick

I could mean that your stomach is not

acid enough to release your own bile so

I put Petain how to chloride in there as

well

I put beets to thin the bile there’s

bile salts in here to give you bio so

you can start recycling it there’s

Spanish black radish that’s good for the

liver as well and that thins the bile to

out allow it to work better so it’s not

so congested

there’s stone root and that is known to

actually dissolve stones and there’s an

enzyme that the stomach needs to in

their slippery elm bark to help

lubricate this whole process now I’m

just letting you know that I’m not

saying that this is going to replace or

cure your gall bladder all I’m saying is

this is what I use to support a healthy

gall bladder function so if you need

some you might want to try some take one

before a meal every time you eat a large

meal and because it’s not a drug it

works kind of slowly and you’re going to

find that you’re going to digest better

and your stomach’s not going to be so

bloated so if you need it go ahead and

try it I hope you enjoyed the video I’ll

see you in the next video
