thank you

welcome back everyone we’re here for

another show hope you guys have some

good questions like always anything that

I say is definitely not meant to cross

the line and provide any medical care

just check with your doctor before

implementing any of the things that

we’re going to talk about this is just

food for thought and things to

potentially research in a further way

all right Steve good morning very good

let’s kick it off with my let everyone

get the big laugh in my contacts gave me

an eye infection and the only readers I

have are my wife Lori so let’s get that

out of the way first I’m ashamed of it

okay I’ll go back to a full shot of you

and uh let’s go back speaking of not

curing anyone to last week one that we

didn’t get time to this is devoree from

YouTube I Follow Dr Burke’s

recommendations of a leafy greens in my

diet and a balanced routine of

food-based supplements and it’s helped

my sickle cell anemia immensely thanks

Doc so that’s not doc trying to help

anybody that is feedback from the field

and there’s a heck of a lot of you know

of course African Americans mainly that

suffer from Sickle Cell so we’re very

glad to hear that there is some relief

out there somewhere why don’t we kick it

off with our first question today uh and

there it is

all right so what is the best Trace

mineral to help regulate

too much estrogen in the body like

estrogen dominance that’s a condition

where you have maybe heavier periods

maybe you have um cysts in the breast

maybe you have heavy weight in the

midsection thighs buttocks area

um what would be the best Trace mineral

remedy for that

okay get on it uh audience and I know

you will let’s go to social media this

time from YouTube uh ritva from YouTube

My ketones are at 4.0 is that considered

too high I fast 18 20 as her routine per

day and she says thank you

you’re welcome no they’re not too high

at all um and in fact um

you know you have uh you know when it

gets up to like 9 10 you know that’s the

problem but uh you you won’t be able to

do that unless you’re a diabetic and you

forget to take your insulin

but if you you know typically an average

person would be between

you know 0.5 and 3. but then what

happens when you start adding fasting

you can go up to four

uh when you say exercise Echoes up to

five

um maybe six but um it’s probably not

going to go higher than that but if it

does you know

um you’d have to be a diabetic type one

okay and forgetting to take your insulin

and um

that’s very very rare and um

most people

um can control their blood sugars with

their medication if they’re a type 1

diabetic okay very good and next up from

also YouTube is jelly mom which might

suggest something about her diet uh how

do you manage gerd symptoms without ppis

if you don’t have a gallbladder

you know

gerds symptoms right so gerd is uh

there’s a lot of different names for

GERD you have reflex

laryngitis

extra pharyngeal reflux disorder like

there’s like probably about 20 or 30

different names for the same thing acid

it’s basically acid reflux and the

problem is the valve is not closing it’s

not closing and the acid is coming up so

it’s not really a problem with acid it’s

a problem with the valve and that valve

has a sensor

to the level of pH in that stomach the

hydrochloric acid so

what you need to do is you need to

acidify more so that valve will close as

a normal response to acid and so I would

recommend taking uh betaine

hydrochloride start with maybe three

before a meal and start to increase it a

little bit more each day until you’re

until the acid reflux goes away and you

might go up to nine or even 10 before a

meal and then you’re going to maintain

that for a period of time until you it

could take you know depending on how

long a spender could take some weeks but

here’s the thing

most people

take an antacid and get rid of the acid

and they feel better until the next time

they eat and it’s worse because you’re

removing the very thing that’s supposed

to keep that valve closed and that that

acid that stomach controls

the release of bile so now we’ve got a

gallbladder issue the release of enzymes

from the pancreas

I mean it’s just so so key so stay stay

tuned for more videos but I have a lot

of videos on HCL hydrochloric acid and

gerd you should check them out

all right very good in a few minutes

we’re going to have someone in a green

room Daniel is coming to us from

Palestine but in the meantime let’s talk

about who else is listening Bethlehem

actually see a good morning to all of us

States and I guarantee you Terry our

producers fingers are red and bulging

after typing all in and so thank you for

your selfless acclair Terry every week

to help us keep up with all that are in

here and let’s see we’re waiting for an

answer from our question in the meantime

let’s go back to uh social media Lori

from YouTube is

oh kachaba okay on the keto diet cachaba

is that better spell am I saying that

right I guess so

you know uh I think it is but you just

have to read read the ingredients to

make sure there’s no hidden anything

like maltodextrin tapioca you know

things like that uh corn fiber which is

a soluble fiber which is a new

functional synthetic fiber that they use

um it doesn’t resemble corn

um so it really you know you just read

the ingredients and see if everything is

acceptable but um I I haven’t read the

ingredients on this so I I couldn’t tell

you okay very good Patsy thank you doc

Patsy from Facebook will lemon water or

apple cider vinegar break a fast I am on

omad and down get this 75 pounds

wow

um no it’s not going to break a fast

um I wouldn’t worry about it um

the video that I released today I think

is pretty interesting

um it has to do with uh the apple cider

vinegar actually

turns right into a ketone it can be used

as fuel so if you want more energy

you should just add more apple cider

vinegar to your water I I um recently

forgot to take it for a few days and

then I realized why am I a little bit

kind of sluggish and I’m like oh that’s

right so I started shaking again and

energy start coming right back up so

I’ll take it in the morning and then

afternoon but one or two tablespoons and

some water gives you more energy because

it turns in the ketones which is

interesting that’s it’s like you

wouldn’t think it does that but

it does acetic acid actually is

considered a ketone

um fascinating an acquired taste it’s

actually it’s going to turn into a

ketone sorry

very good okay as promised we’ve got the

Daniel up next uh calling in from uh the

Middle East and less than Daniel you sir

are on with Dr Berg with your one

question that you’re going to belt out

in 30 seconds go

go ahead sir

good morning I am on

I am on a water fast and just waiting

for your question like that for the last

17 days I was wondering what’s your best

advices for that and uh problem I can’t

hear a bad breath

and um

very safe to go for a 40-day water fast

and it is only water

water fast okay now Daniel stand by just

a minute I’m not sure that Dr Berg was

able to hear your comments so Dr Burr

could you hear any of that

no I couldn’t okay he wants to know if

it’s safe to go on a 40-day water fast

um which really sums up his question

as long as you have enough fat in your

body to do it and um and also you’re

taking nutrition along the way B

vitamins electrolytes the vitamin D

um omega-3 fatty acids and the trace

minerals

um and then make sure that you know how

to come off that diet because

it’s one of the best things to do if you

have cancer but 40 day fast is pretty

intense and then of course

you’re going to lose some serious weight

but the point is that I think um it’s

therapeutic in some cases and definitely

cancer is one of them so if I had

um a stage four cancer that was

spreading I would go a million to 40

days fast starting today

I would do that and uh

um there’s a lot of power in what that

fast can do to the immune system turning

on certain

things to kill off cancer cells

um so that’s

it has some good valid um

reasons to do it so that’s my answer

okay Dale Daniel for some reason uh Dr

Burke couldn’t hear you but we’d sure

love to hear back from you after a

40-day fast and see how you did that’s a

fascinating process certainly and a

healthy one I think and I’m sure you’re

doing it for uh you know uh reasons of

your own perhaps Faith Etc so that’s

really neat so get back with us if you

would and let us know because we want to

hear back from you thanks for joining us

on that now we had our first quiz

question out uh which asked excuse me

let me flip the switch yeah got so many

buttons audience what is the best Trace

mineral to help regulate too much

estrogen in the body estrogen dominance

and the audience feels or 50 of them

let’s say it’s zinc 30 say it’s selenium

and 20 say it’s magnesium any winners

Dot

okay well do we don’t have winners today

um but uh maybe maybe next time but it’s

uh iodine iodine has the ability to

regulate estrogen and um seek help right

think seek help with iodine

there’s some real interesting

information I want to share with you on

an upcoming video about iodine but

iodine uh

it’s one of the best things to

handle like fibrocystic breast

it’s great of course for a hypothyroid

case even if you have Hashimoto’s but

just if you have Hashimoto’s you don’t

want to take a lot of it just take

sufficient amounts

but selenium is more for that but um

yeah estrogen dominant you’ll see that

like you’re having period and and other

symptoms that are related to estrogen

dominance improve when you take more

iodine

that’s interesting I’m looking for the

question but there was someone who

talked about having a fibrocystic breast

so perhaps you just helped answer their

question yeah and there’s some other

jealous listeners out there who weren’t

mentioned and they wanted to chime in

and they are from Malaysia Guam Kenya

Abu Dhabi Kuwait Ghana United Arab

Emirates Albania uh Bavaria and Hungary

and we do have someone for Hungry coming

up a little later so thank you all for

chiming in uh with that why don’t we pop

up the next question of the day and this

is not a true falser so

okay good which vitamin deficiency is

usually behind sciatic pain

sciatica pain okay now audience

batting zero so far oh audience anyway

here’s your time to redeem yourself

with that next question and let’s go

back to uh social media oh no uh let’s

see yes social media

uh Tina from YouTube my daughter has the

debilitating pain and very heavy

menstrual cycles every month I had the

same thing when I was younger and had to

undergo a hysterectomy at 30. my

daughter is now 30. uh is there any hope

or an alternative solution for that

agony

hey that relates to the last question

doesn’t it it’s the iodine

um also um

another thing that you could take uh is

[Music]

a little bit of calcium magnesium right

During the period because think about it

if you have these heavy cramps

we have a muscle spasm right so take

electrolytes like especially magnesium

and calcium that would be a good thing

to take at that point

um I’d probably recommend maybe before

you go to bed that’s a good time to take

so there’s other things as well

um that I’ve gotten good success with uh

from standard processors a product

called eutrophin PMG that seems to be

very effective for the um menstrual

cycle cramps and happy periods but I

would definitely do the iodine and in

the form of seek help okay seek help

it’s a good form a source of iodine and

other trace minerals

all right very good we’ve got a couple

of folks whose camera cameras weren’t

working and one of them is uh Irene from

the UK Irene are you on with us

I am it’s Arlene Arlene pardon me

there’s those readers that I have

they’re not working well can you hear

her Dr Burke

yes perfectly very good go ahead with

your question Arlene from the UK

okay thanks Dr Berg my husband and I do

about 18 to 20 hour keto intermittent

fasting every day occasionally we do a

42 hour sort of every second month how

often would you recommend that we do a

40 248 or longer fast

I think it’s great that you’re doing it

um doing it

um if you did it once from once a month

I think

I think you’d see a really good benefit

so I like the idea of like a a weekly um

you know maybe

you know I think you you

I’m not sure if you said you’re doing

one meal a day well I don’t think you

are right I like consistently

uh well we kind of eat over a full four

hour period and okay

okay in the day yeah I like that I think

that’s great and then if you did like um

48 hour fast let’s say once a month I

think that would be awesome and uh that

way you get the benefit of you know if

there’s anything going on in the body

whether it’s a polyp or let’s say

there’s um some pre-cancer cells or or

there’s um

you know

um something going on with the immune

system

uh periodic

prolonged fasting 48 or even better yet

72 if you can do it would be highly

beneficial to your body

thank you very much you’re great by the

way thanks that’s wonderful so are you

Arlene we’re glad to hear you uh with

such great success and I also would love

to see you hear what you’re when you go

to once a month perhaps let the audience

know how that goes for it because that’s

a oft asked and excuse me question of

how often you can fast at that link so

uh we have a very fast audience of

course who’s already answered quiz

question number two and that question

was which vitamin deficiency usually

behind sciatica pain and the audience

feels seventy percent of them say it’s

B12 15 say uh a D vitamin or a d excuse

me a D vitamin and 15 say B1

well I think we have a um

much better audience response this time

because it’s actually

there’s three uh B vitamins involved

um but it could be one of these three

and they’re all B vitamins B1 B12 okay

which is really commonly known

um to actually if you’re deficient to

create nerve damage because the myelin

sheath around the nerve can be destroyed

but you also have another vitamin which

is a B6 B6 B6

um has everything to do with the

metabolism

of uh myelin and um

so if you can

um make sure that you um

watch my upcoming video on satica and

carpal tunnel syndrome you can kind of

learn like when you would want to take

B6 or B1 or B12 or all three of them but

um boy if you have sciatica or even

carpal tunnel syndrome those are three

that you can be rest assured that would

greatly reduce the pain now one caveat

to this when you take B6

pyridoxine I don’t ever recommend taking

that that version I would recommend

taking another version which you could

find on the label it’s uh it’s p5p it’s

just a it’s the active version of B6

that actually will

um work better because and you’ll see in

this video if you take

large amounts of this uh

regular B6 paroxetine it can actually

create a deficiency of B6 because it’s

competitive to the active form

so um and unfortunately most of the

supplements out there that are

multivitamins contain this version of B6

that could create a problem for a lot of

people and so you know the very solution

you’re trying to to remedy is going to

be causing the problem you’re trying to

remedy so

um stay tuned for that video especially

if you have sciatica

very good okay let’s see

a beta tester from YouTube is the name

they were born with what should I eat if

there are no pasture-raised eggs

available where I live

organic eggs can you do organic eggs

that would be a step up

um but honestly if you if you have a

choice between no eggs and conventional

eggs

at least you’re going to get

you know something’s better than nothing

you’re going to get some good good

protein from that egg um

there’s a big difference in quality of

course but um organic eggs would be the

next best thing but I like to do

pasture-raised and organic if you can

find them they’re more expensive but I

think they’re worth it and if you could

even take to the next level like I’m

doing you can raise your own chickens

then these chickens uh it’s not that

expensive they don’t eat very much and

hopefully they can eat some bugs around

your yard but boy do those chicken eggs

taste good and um

these egg these chickens just keep

producing and producing all year round I

mean I don’t even know what we’re gonna

do with these eggs I think we it’s like

nine eggs a day what are we gonna do

with all these eggs every single day

they load up and um so it’s a good

protein Source very good okay speaking

of iodine if your thyroid has been

removed do you still need iodine

well iodine works for a lot of other

things okay it works for a lot of things

that go Way Beyond the thyroid like I

said estrogen control okay

um but also

it helps

um with as an antimicrobial

it helps even lower cortisol which is

interesting

so it can do a lot for you but if you

have your thyroid removed

um one little tip on that I would try to

find a doc that can work with you to get

armor thyroid which is a more of a it’s

like a whole package of hormones not

just Synthroid which is T4 the synthetic

version but all the different you know

thyroid you know if you the thyroid

doesn’t Just Produce T4 it produces a

little bit of a T3 it also produces um

uh calcitonin which is another hormone

and um

that would be something you should look

into very good doc you may have noticed

your battery died so I have put up our

cheerful oh rendering of view

um but let’s see

so audience if you’ll stand by just a

moment

no problem because what I can do is I

have a backup battery so I already

predicted that we can replace that and

uh very good the doctor is going to

auxiliary power please stand by

all right here we go let’s see if that

works

very close drum roll please boy that you

are prepared doctor he is back with us

okay I see I knew that was going to

happen sooner or later yep well here’s

what’s going to happen next is we’re

going to go on with the next question

not a true false or it’s going to

require some real research there you go

doc

all right let me just um take off this

little square thing

[Music]

okay all right there we go all right so

here we go which is worse consuming

Sugar by itself or consuming sugar and

protein or sugar and fat that’s very

interesting all right climb on it

audience as we know you will and let’s

see let’s go back to social media uh

here’s a tour probably from Ireland

wants to know if Irish sea moss would be

the best and cheapest way to get your

daily allotment of minerals Irish sea

moss

it’s not a bad idea it is not a bad idea

I think you could get a lot of good

trace minerals and regular minerals from

um that’s type of seaweed

um or sea kelp you know CMOS anything

anything from the sea the problem with

iodine is that they don’t the farmers

don’t put it back in the soil so unless

you’re consuming something from the

coastal lands or from the sea chances

are you’re not going to have a lot of

iodine and you know I mean just about I

don’t know two billion people on the

planet are deficient in iodine so

you know that’s a that’s a big

that’s a lot of people that’s a good

percentage so chances are you may be

deficient so

um how do you solve that seek help CMOS

seaweed or shellfish or

you know fish from the ocean

very good okay marhawk more Hoxie from

YouTube why are my kidneys so sensitive

while on keto do we need to drink more

water when we experience kidney stress

he didn’t describe what’s going on with

his kidneys but they’re stressful yeah

I’m missing a lot of information when

you say tender it could be also not your

kidneys it could be just like your gut

which could be you know you can have

some inflammation in your gut because of

the fiber that you’re now eating a lot

of so in that case you do carnivore but

I mean if it really is kidneys I mean

are you doing the healthy version of

Keto are you um you know maybe you’re

doing almonds and chocolate it’s all

keto or spinach where you’re getting a

lot of oxlets in which case you need to

be drinking a lot more water or don’t

eat those oxalate Foods because oxalates

are a problem okay for kidney stones and

even like what’s called pseudogout which

can actually aggravate your joints and

even other joints too and so there are

things that

um on keto that are high in oxalates

chocolate

almonds spinach

of course rhubarb pie right

um kiwi so these are all things that you

need to be aware of and definitely if

you’re if a problem if you have a

problem with oxalates you need to make

watch my videos on that make adjustments

because oxalates

can really destroy the kidney itself

just an FYI I don’t want to destroy

those things okay you got two Petra from

YouTube I have Steve one little one

little tip on the oxlets uh just so

happens that vitamin B6

helps to reduce oxalates too so that’s

just a little extra no charge tip on

that bonus for the audience that’s great

I found that question I was looking for

it’s from Petra from YouTube and you

mentioned this I have a fibrocystic

breast I would like to know what I can

do to help resolve I also have a lot of

pain throughout my body she doesn’t talk

anymore about that what do you think doc

it just is so simple this is a

no-brainer um you just take a little C

cup on a regular basis it just means

you’re low on iodine and so the estrogen

gets out of control

um I mean I don’t even think

you know actually you have to realize

too estrogen

is um all all over the place it’s in our

environment as uh chemicals that mimic

estrogen and um also if your thyroid

is on the hypo side

you um

you know because of lack of iodine

uh you’re you’re not going to be able to

metabolize

your cholesterol is basically you’re not

going to metabolize cholesterol too well

so you can’t really make make things

from cholesterol anymore like bile and

vitamin D so here you are

unknowingly having a thyroid problem

because you’re deficient iodine and your

cholesterol is high

and you’re not making a bile it’s the

perfect storm for a gallstone or a gall

sludge which then can cause pain

underneath your rib cage to refer to the

right shoulder and also bile is

necessary to help to detoxify

estrogen so is iodine in your liver so

we get this buildup of estrogen we have

which can then indirectly affect your

thyroid so you can see all these things

are connected so I will release the

video on this soon but

very I mean I’m telling you the the

Cascade of problems that occur from a

lack of iodine are huge

wow okay Lynn from Facebook I need to

take evening supplements and

progesterone I don’t want to drink a

whole glass of water before bed but

eating anything to push the pills down

will break a fast any suggestions for

Lynn

you can break them up you know maybe you

could eat something that um

doesn’t increase

or break the keto um too bad and that

would be like a little maybe a little

celery or a little vegetable

or maybe even um MCT oil you know as

something to take

um but the the two things that don’t

really stimulate insulin that much would

be fiber

and fat

so those are two options

um versus the car other carbs and

protein

all right very good well our third

question which is worse consuming Sugar

by itself or consuming Sugar Plus

protein and or fat that sounds delicious

doc um let’s see the audience uh 90 say

its worst choice is sugar with protein

or fat also known as ice cream cherry

puts and ten percent say it’s plain

sugar who’s right

yeah

um you’d be much better off consuming

pure sugar than combined with protein or

fat why because when you combine it with

sugar sugar with protein or fat you get

this thing called glycation glycation

and glycation is basically this

it causes the protein and the fat to um

to bind in a certain way in your tissues

that make things get destroyed like even

when you uh do what’s called an A1c

there’s a destruction of the hemoglobin

in your blood

and so when you are consuming things

like uh fat and sugar like in a donut

for example deep fried

um or even barbecued ribs with all that

sugar and that meat that’s cooked under

heat you’re consuming what’s called

Advanced glycation end products which

are basically some pretty nasty things

that can do some bad things to your body

and um

make you very unhealthy so again if

if somehow Steve you’re in a situation

where you’re forced to consume sugar and

you have this option of only consuming

sugar it’s happened that would be a

better option

all right very good now uh here’s

something that affects roughly half the

world’s population Bernadette speaking

about it from Facebook what if you’re

post-menopausal and have no estrogen I

need to increase the estrogen intake

don’t I question

Well normally during menopause you have

a backup organ that makes estrogen

progesterone and all the other hormones

that the ovaries

were supposed to make but they went in

retirement and um that’s called the

adrenal glands so you don’t really need

the same amount of hormones but you need

the normal amount that your adrenal

produces and so the goal of menopause is

to definitely support the adrenals as

much as you can and how do you do that

well DHEA is a good raw material that

you can take just to build up the

precursor for these hormones and also

make sure you don’t go on a low

cholesterol diet because

um if you’re on a Statin or you’re

taking low

um like you’re on low fats you have to

realize that cholesterol is the raw

material to help you build up these sex

hormones and so you’re going to end up

suffering and having a lot of problems

with that so the other last remedy that

is really good

um for post-menopausal women would be

the vitamin E in the form of tocotrenals

simply because the great majority of

vitamin E in your body is stored in the

pituitary and the pituitary regulates

the

not just the adrenals but the ovary as

well so that would be some tips that you

can apply very good Stephanie from Texas

are you with us

yes I am I’m here very good well guess

what it’s your turn to talk to Dr Berg

about your fascinating question one

question of course out in 30 seconds

would be helpful go

okay when I was 30 I had a hysterectomy

as mentioned earlier it was a full-blown

one they took both ovaries uterus

fallopians cervix all of it out and the

doctor prescribed me estradiol because

he said that if I don’t take estrogens

that by the time I’m 55 my bones my skin

and my joints will be that of an 80 year

old and so I’m 37 now

um I had another doctor tell me that I

don’t need to take the estrogen and so

I’m just confused as to whether do I

need to take it do I not need to take it

I’ve read a lot in the keto world that

estrogen is a fat producing hormone so

is there other things that I could eat

like the sea kilt like you had mentioned

to I don’t know I I just do I need to

should I take it or not at my age of 37.

yeah good question I I can’t tell you

one way or another because I’m you know

I’m not a medical doctor however I would

give you some tips to to do some further

research first of all try to find a

naturopathic doctor who knows about you

know testing testing these hormones to

see where you’re at because like I said

before like the adrenals are the backup

so if you remove the uterus and the

ovaries well definitely the adrenals are

going to be like in a State of Shock so

you want to support the adrenal because

that can actually give you the

replacement of the estrogen that the

ovaries are not are no longer giving you

that being said

um I I really honestly do not think uh

estradiol is the the best option for

that simple simply because okay so it

might give you some uh estradiol but

then what about the risk the risks

um that come with that you know cancer

risks things like that so there’s always

some problems

with um taking this estrogen replacement

therapy I mean just look it up but just

write down the list it’s just like wow

not good

um so

um the last point I’m going to bring up

would be

um there is two remedies that I used to

recommend for patients who had a

hysterectomy floor hysterectomy in

practice from Standard Process um

eutrophin PMG and over trophin PMG both

of those um actually you’d probably feel

a lot better when you take them just

take one of each right before bed

because they tend to

um replace kind of what’s missing to a

certain degree not hormone wise but

glandular wise so you might want to try

that as well but

but I think I would focus more on your

adrenals right now more than anything

else

could you say the names one more time

sorry yeah eutrophin PMG and ovitrophin

PMG

all right Stephanie go get them

uh and speaking of going and getting

them our audience fell flat on the first

question but then they did brilliantly

on the next two and this one’s a true

falcer so you have a 50 chance of being

brilliant and here it is

okay true or false having

a wrinkle

or a crease on your earlobe is a is a

good indicator

of the prediction of cardiovascular

disease is that true or false everyone’s

running to the bathroom to check I’m

sure

I’m not uh able to do that yet but I’ll

certainly do it after the show okay

let’s see why don’t we go back to social

media uh Stephanie from Facebook please

share your advice for pulmonary

hypertension herbs supplements what

would you do with that conditions thanks

well there’s three things I would do if

you’re not already doing them definitely

get on the ketogenic diet which will get

you off some of the carbs because the

carbs tend to create stiffness in the

vascular system

all throughout the entire body

um the other thing I would do is I would

take um

more potassium and eat foods high in

potassium

that would be the second thing and the

third thing would be vitamin D vitamin D

deficiencies have been known to increase

hypertension in different forms of

hypertension so

those are the three things that I would

do if I were you

but definitely research them and of

course check with your doctor before

coming off any medication absolutely

okay back to Youtube Jenna asks is

ferrous glutinate a good way to address

low iron levels in a woman I guess

you know

I think there’s a much better way and

and it comes from food consuming red

meat or liver or even taking organic

grass-fed liver and pills would be a

really good source

supporting an iron deficiency because

you’ll get the type of iron that’s very

absorbable in the body versus a

supplement which you know it’s not the

best bioavailable form of iron

and so um

I think I would get it from a food-based

thing and so and that should solve a lot

of your problems

okay very good uh we have someone who’s

been on before Dora and she’s from

Hungary and she’s about to unmute

herself and now she’s on with Dr Berg go

ahead Dora with your one question please

thank you

yes perfectly

okay hello

so basically my question is I have a low

thyroid level and I have been taking

medicine called athroxine for five years

because it was very very bad but my real

body problem started when I was about

eight years old and I started with this

excessive yawning and cannot get best

feeling and also digestion problem and

bloating and gas everything and now at

that moment I have these symptoms and

also I have this a smaller gallblador

polyp and also I have a bit high

cholesterol and I also have this uh what

is it a when I eat something I feel

something reflux or something and my

question is that um

I watched a lot of your videos and it’s

very very good and I started to Kettle

for keto diet and fasting for two months

ago and it’s it’s a it’s very good and I

also take many of your supplements uh

but my question is that this excessive

yawning cannot get breastfeeding will

just be handled during I do the keto

diet or what should I take and the other

question how should I stop the astroxy

into medicine and replace with something

healthy supplements so this is my

breakfast okay question one question are

you taking any c-calp or iodine right

now c-cap your c-cap okay I think this

and yeah I think also this and many

others so it’s very very good and it

saved my life but I need yeah more

suggestion so as far as the getting off

the medication of course I’m not the

person to ask that question you have to

make a transition with some help from

another doctor to make a transition

because there’s always this slow

transition

um but um I will say this that the uh if

you’re taking CCAP the iodine is going

to support the thyroid now if there’s

Hashimoto’s involved c-cap also has

selenium

um so that is going to help you because

now what’s going to happen you have

better thyroid function which is going

to help better cholesterol

function more bile better digestion I’m

telling you if you have if you have high

cholesterol or you have digestive issues

and you don’t fix the thyroid

and then you get your blood tests and

and they start treating the cholesterol

but not the real cause which is a slow

thyroid oh my gosh you just keep going

around and around and around

um but I think you’re on the right track

there’s one more thing I would recommend

that is very effective to help um

from the pituitary angle uh the control

over your thyroid and that is something

called myo and nasitol

type of B vitamin it’s really good for a

lot of things but it’s it’s good for

um helping you control that thyroid

stimulating hormone which is usually

um high if you have a hypothyroid

yeah

yeah so that’s that’s what I would

recommend and probably that lump in the

throat could be just maybe a little

internal swelling of the thyroid on the

esophagus possibly that’s great all

right well listen thank you so much

Adora we appreciate it uh and really

nice to have you back representing

Hungary so well uh let’s see we will now

oh wait a minute Dora let me ask you a

question did you have one more thought I

heard you trying to say something go

ahead yeah so because this

active yawning gun cannot breastfeeding

I have this whole of my life and it’s

very bad and this is uh my main problem

basically but I want to handle and this

will be handled during the keto diet or

what do you suggest for that I I I I

don’t know but I I will say um

there could be a couple reasons for this

yawning okay

um but I go beyond just being tired

which I that doesn’t sound like you’re

very tired but

um the that can also occur if your pH is

off

um what might be interesting is just to

experiment like

take a day and just start consuming

apple cider vinegar through the day and

see if that improves your yawning and

then the next day take a little baking

soda with water maybe a little like an

eighth of a teaspoon in water take it a

few times a day and see which improves

your yawning and that that’ll kind of

indirectly give you an idea is it are

you too alkaline or are you too acid

um both versions can affect

your breathing and oxygen levels so

like for example if you’re more acidic

you know this could be yawning or maybe

a sign frequently type situation a gasp

for breath that looks kind of like a

yawning situation but if you have

alkalinity you can also have a different

type of breathing which could affect

that so that’s one little tip but um

but I will um I would suggest just

instead of focusing on that symptom

just focus on what you’re doing like

getting getting your diet corrected

handling the thyroid and then see if

that doesn’t just go away because these

things are all connected

that’s great well thank you uh Dora as

always for participating all right doc

now question number four which I’m sure

everyone looked into true false having a

wrinkle or crease on your earlobe is a

good prediction of cardiovascular

disease how horrible let’s see the

audience

um 60 of respondents say it’s true and

40 percent say it’s nonsense no they

actually said it was false

it’s actually true there’s a pretty high

correlation like 71 of the time this is
