thank you

hey you’re back

today we have a great q a great people

in the green room and a lot of great

questions bring your questions on social

media if there’s anything that I say

that even gets close to the word cure

I’m not responsible if you become cured

don’t mention our names check with your

doctor before implementing any of the

stuff that we’re going to talk about and

I just like to Dive Right In

Steve who can blame you all right very

good let’s go to social media and this

is Paradise Lost five is the handle

they’re using and they would like to

know can you explain the benefits of dry

fasting can it make you look younger

so um

dry fasting is when you’re avoiding all

fluids right so you’re you’re um

you’re not drinking any water you’re not

um putting any water on your body it

adds more stress uh you can’t do it for

as long

and um I think it does produce some

really cool benefits if you can do it

um but the problem is with a lot of

people is that they don’t have they’re

going into it with with maybe lowered

Health maybe lowered electrolytes it

might be too much of a stress so I would

only recommend that after you if you’re

done water fast for a period of time

then when you want to stop stop drinking

water then at that point

um you know you can try it out for a

short period of time and see how you

feel but it’s just like

there’s this thing called epigenetics

which is um kind of a

a dose of stress that causes the body to

to do better it responds with all these

interesting uh genetic things that turn

on that help your survival just like

exercise and fasting and there’s all

these things you can add

um cold therapy to make the body

stronger but I think that one’s a pretty

extreme one that can work for certain

people if you work up to it but

that would be that would be one thing

you would do all right very good now

you’ve got the audience captivated

because last week we heard from Dr Berg

that only five seconds and 39 degree

water have you attempted this again Dr

Berg

oh yeah I’m up to two minutes uh in 50

degrees Fahrenheit 10 10 degree uh

Celsius and it’s it’s painful but um

it’s it’s doable it’s like um the Pain’s

still there but like I have more

tolerance to it so it’s working and I

love it in fact you you Steve I think

you’d be amazed at what it does to even

your mood and your cognitive function

it’s like dramatic and uh

um I didn’t think I would like it as

much as I do but I I’m gonna keep doing

it because it’s it’s so darn painful

it’s so great when you stop doing it but

you know you compared to

um like either a sauna or a

um a Jacuzzi which is really comfortable

um it’s that

pain that um

that genetic uh freezing connection that

probably our ancestors developed all

sorts of survival mechanisms that kind

of kick in

um you know out of all the things that

I’ve done I haven’t really focused too

much on this cold water therapy as much

as I am now and I’m like wow it’s quite

amazing what it can do to I mean you

could even I’m going to release the

video on it as well like what it can do

to your genetics

um and you don’t even need to get a tub

you can just do the cold shower or jump

in the pond in your backyard but the

point is that it’s um

it’s uh fascinating short bursts of this

ice cold even like 11 minutes per week

it sounds easy but um

you know I like it I like it a lot wow

that’s incredible we’ve got a couple of

guests in The Green Room Katrina from

Sweden and then Clayton who has the

nerve to live in Wisconsin so they know

about cold I’m sure and we’ll hear more

about that now whether Clayton jumps in

a lake every morning is another question

but anyway so we’ll get to them after a

while let’s go back to social media and

find out that in addition to to uh

Sweden and Wisconsin we have other

people watching the show and we’d like

to give a shout out to them so we’ll say

good morning to all our viewers joining

us from the UK Canada Mexico India

Jamaica Jordan the Czech Republic turkey

Portugal Iran Barbados Saudi Arabia the

New Zealand Greece Nepal Bangladesh

Japan Poland Ireland Armenia Eritrea

Oman

Scotland which I’m leaving for after the

show Norway Chile Nigeria ubeekistan

Ghana the Philippine South Africa

Belgium Italy I know you love that Dr

Berg Pakistan the Netherlands Taiwan

Uganda the Dominican Republic Trinidad

and Tobago Germany Austria excuse me

Australia Lebanon Spain Sweden there you

go uh Katrina Libya Ethiopia Brazil the

Virgin Islands France the United Arab

Emirates Bermuda Israel Indonesia

Switzerland Denmark Egypt Lithuania

Madagascar Wales Slovakia what a list

Malaysia Hong Kong Algeria Peru Zimbabwe

Cameroon Qatar Cyprus we’re almost done

and all across these United States of

America what an amazing audience and all

of them are celebrating uh you know

having such a great time on keto and

let’s see I know we had a wonderful

comment oh here is Kenneth is an example

from YouTube I’ve been doing a 20-hour

fast every day since January 19th and

I’ve lost 39 pounds thank you Dr Berg so

that’s an example

and of course Dr Burke there are

thousands of testimonials of success

stories where do people find those

at the website we actually have a thick

uh just under 8 000 process stores so um

that’s uh let’s you know that’s that’s a

great start you know we we definitely

want to go to

um ten thousand uh it has a better ring

to it so we’re trying to figure out how

to help more people and I know people

know friends and family or even you’re

probably watching like

you know you keep running into something

that stops you please please write that

down below I’m very interested in any

barriers that you might have in starting

keto or even doing keto successfully I

really want to know

um because

you know

my my viewpoint is I’m doing a certain

thing well that’s because I know it’s so

cold but other people might not know uh

how to do this or that so

um definitely comment down below all

right very good well I want to help too

so I’m going to embellish my health

Journey a little bit leave the donuts

out and so on and come up with some

spectacular numbers so stand by for that

let’s see let’s move along now Judith

from YouTube could you please recommend

the best supplements for uh osteoporosis

I am taking the Prolia shots twice a

year whatever that is

to build

um bone if you have osteoporosis it’s

not a quick thing you can do it it takes

probably six years and but you’re gonna

have to

feed that part of your body

trace minerals a really good trace

mineral blend

um and of course calcium I would

recommend the type of calcium that that

I talk about in my video I don’t want to

get too much into the woods but it’s not

just it’s not just minerals and calcium

it’s also

um the fat soluble vitamins like vitamin

K2 and vitamin D

A lot of these minerals

that we take especially like calcium you

need like vitamin D to help them be

absorbed and vitamin D helps calcium

absorption by 20x so you imagine if

you’re low in D and you’re trying to get

your bones fixed it’s not going to

happen because you don’t have the

transport so you need all the different

things that are connected and it could

also be an estrogen problem it could

also be a high cortisol problem related

to the Bone

um but I just I would just watch my

video that I talk about osteoporosis and

osteopenia but it does take some time

yeah very good here’s one that’s going

to make you cringe Dr Berg Jasmine from

YouTube what do you recommend for

someone with egg intolerance I mean Dr

Berg loves those eggs

well um I’m guessing you have an allergy

or just an intolerance

you know

I think um

if you

had an early vaccine that had egg in it

um and it created a kind of past the

bypassed the normal immigration to your

stomach it can develop allergies

uh to that you can develop antibodies

the same thing that they have

um peanut particles in vaccines says an

additional supplement all of a sudden

not a supplement but just additional

material then all of a sudden you

develop allergies to so it’s really

important um

to know that connection because there’s

a a big spike in people with allergies

to certain things after

um this new round of vaccines but the

point is that if you do have an allergy

you can avoid it or an intolerance avoid

it for a period of time and then slowly

introduce it over time because the egg

is is the perfect food if you uh if you

have the uh the quality egg that I

recommend which is the pasture-raised

organic eggs

boy um I’m sure uh Steve you have a lot

of eggs I I consume a tremendous amount

of eggs

per per week it’s crazy because we we

have too many we have uh I think we’re

down to 12 chickens I mean we can’t keep

up with all these eggs being produced

every day so

we’re trying to figure out what to do

with all these extra eggs well when I

was a kid you don’t want to put all your

eggs in that one basket Steve no you

don’t when I was a kid I used to throw

them at cop cars but I don’t recommend

that for the rest of the audience

they’re much more mature I don’t think

all right very good let’s uh move on to

our first question for the day and Dr

Berg this is an exciting true faucer

there you go

okay drifos shift workers

puts you at or shift work puts you at

risk for cardiovascular disease the same

risk for cardiovascular disease as

smoking

all right let me clear that out for you

okay audience jump on that true false of

course 50 50 chance of being brilliant

those are always fun uh let’s go back to

um our questions be marchbanks boy why

do they come up with these names is it

okay to be fasting while breastfeeding

it helps with losing the pregnancy

weight how might it affect an infant

um you could have just you’ve got to

really make sure um if you’re either

pregnant or breastfeeding that you have

all these sufficient nutrients that’s

like the most important thing and and

you can do that and maybe you just you

know do two big meals a day

um but I wouldn’t start doing any type

of extreme fasting while you’re

breastfeeding just want to make sure

that that child has the key nutrients

I’m glad that you’re breastfeeding

because

um that child’s going to have a much

greater immune system and probably won’t

have any allergies down the road too so

it’s what that child is fed in the early

years that is such a crucial thing with

a person’s long-term health and

unfortunately we don’t emphasize it

enough

all right very good well listen speaking

of cold I think it’s only right that we

go to Sweden first and we’re going to

have Katrina joining us with news from

Sweden and also about her personal

health challenges

you’re on the air with Dr bird

Katrina

thank you thank you for everything

you’re doing I have a short question

should I be worried that my HDL

cholesterol has been lowered after a

year with healthy ketosis Ketone

intermittent fasting

so so basically it uh it went it went

too low and then they would people

people like oh my gosh that’s that’s a

good thing no no one said it it was too

low but it lowered and my LDL was higher

and but triglycerides were lower than a

year before

and I did omad

four days before I took the test so

maybe that’s why dale dale went off but

still I’m thinking shouldn’t the HDL be

really high as high as possible oh so

you said I thought you said uh okay so

your HDL went lower right yeah yeah

okay

and then your L what did your LDL do uh

it went higher

now if we take a look at um what’s

happening internally as you have

these LDL and HCL are just transport

units they’re protein that are carrying

information in and out of the cell and

there’s a lot of things happening when

you start keto especially one meal a day

you have you have a release of

cholesterol that your body has to now

deal with

um I would highly recommend that you get

a test

um called the advanced lipid profile

test to to look at the particle size of

that LDL

and chances are you’re going to find

that they’re a large buoyant particle

sizes of LDL because you’re you have to

deal with this cholesterol so what is

your body going to do with it you’re

burning fat where’s it going to go

you’re probably I’m guessing

experiencing a lot of other benefits but

then this probably kind of startled you

and this comes up all the time even in

my wife so

um I wouldn’t worry about it but if you

are worried about it I would do an

advanced lipid profile test the other

thing too is when you go get a um this

test done

um make sure that you really do the

fasting

um the day before so you go in there

because a lot of people like oh yeah I

had a shake right before I did the test

I did this I’m like oh it’s just

completely invalid so

um the other point I want to bring up

and this is important is that uh your

lipid profiles your cholesterol and all

these other factors are highly

influenced with stress and that day

before you went to get a test anything

stress wise because stress will activate

adrenaline and cortisol and all of a

sudden now you’re producing more sugar

and that can alter your entire lipid

profile and that’s another thing that

people don’t talk about so um

yes and um

that’s that that would be my answer yeah

can I just say I’m not worried about the

LDL at all I was just worrying about the

HDL going down why do you think that

happens well I think if you think about

what’s happening um you have they’re

both

um transport units and when one tends to

go up the other one might go down but it

just tells me that you’re

your body is um right now emphasizing

um what are we going to do with this

this cholesterol how we’re gonna um

it’s the it’s the cholesterol

um that has to be dealt with in your

bloodstream so it’s like okay let’s deal

with this right now versus the other

transport uh system also

I would repeat that test in four weeks

and I think what happened is your HDL

will start going up

um HDL it’s a factor it’s not the most

important factor

um what about your triglycerides

really low 0.5 yeah yeah yeah so that’s

like way more important yeah yeah I I

think you’re doing great um how do you

how do you feel overall oh fantastic

since I started with this Clarity energy

and my mood my sleep so my life has

actually changed a lot so thank you so

much and it’s all up it’s your

it’s thanks to you and your hard work

well that’s great Someday I’m gonna go I

want to visit Sweden because my

ancestors came from there and I’d like

to see more about

um what’s going on over there and I I

have no idea I heard it’s so beautiful

but of course you know um until you go

there you don’t really know no but

you’re so welcome and I will arrange

everything for you so no problem just

come here and you’ll have millions of

people wanting to meet you and then you

can also check out all the great food we

have here and the natural yeah

that’s what I’m interested in awesome

okay most welcome

okay thank you very much

all right Katrina thanks for being such

a great guest and representing Sweden so

well uh and the audience is representing

uh us well by answering these questions

very quickly and the first question of

the day was a true falser shift work

puts you at the same risk for

cardiovascular disease is smoking that’s

alarming

and uh 97 percent of our respondents say

it’s true and three percent are holding

out and say it’s false who’s right

it’s actually true now I want to clarify

something if you’re doing a third shift

whatever and it’s consistent right

it’s not a rotational shift that’s

completely different because your body

can adapt to it and you can do fine

talking about the person that is

they’re rotating their shifts right and

they’re like I think even as some

um people that do like um

um certain work where they they’re I

guess I can’t think of an example right

now other than um

certain people to hospital they rotate

and they work third shift oh my goodness

does it really create a lot of oxidative

stress oxidative stress is um

it’s something to do with something that

happens in the mitochondria where you’re

creating all these reactive things that

are damaging the body and then all night

long

the Sleep actually helps get rid of

those oxidative stress particles or

oxygen related reactive molecules so

it’s getting rid of those so if you

don’t have that sleep it builds up and

starts destroying things and creates

inflammation just means that you need a

lot more antioxidants to counter that

so um just another importance for sleep

and that rest but um

yeah so if you have to do the rotational

shifts you better

do other things to counter that

um as much as possible

all right very good random piano from

YouTube can I mix methylene blue with

spring water or does it have to be

purified

no no it could be with any water

um not a problem I put the electrolytes

in there because

um it doesn’t taste that great and I use

a straw I had it this morning and uh

it’s really interesting it’s another

added cool thing for your cells and it

soaks up a lot of the

extra electrons that could be

generated from like oxidative stress

um and um

you know

it you’ll find that you’ll probably have

more energy from it more oxygen and so

it’s there’s a lot of research on that

topic as well I did a video on it and

it’s a very interesting

actual medicine that’s over the counter

it’s one of the first medications

that was in the medical

field so of course you can’t patent it

now so they’re not probably going to

recommend it but

they use it in all the emergency rooms

if someone has carbon monoxide poisoning

or cyanide poisoning because it helps

get oxygen to the cells

wow okay let’s try getting a quiz

question to the audience and here’s

number two for the day doc

okay how can someone eat whatever they

want and still lose weight

I’m sure everyone wants to know that

Roman from YouTube I eat an avocado

every day but my cholesterol remains

High help

you know uh cholesterol um you realize

that your body makes cholesterol your

body actually makes 75 all the

cholesterol

um for a reason because it uh

it supports your brain function and it

helps as a precursor to make bile salts

and vitamin D so

as long as you’re not eating the carbs

which generate more of the pathogenic

LDL I wouldn’t worry about it um I would

I would just learn more about it so then

that way you’re not freaking out but

you know a lot of times your cholesterol

will increase because you’re mobilizing

fat cells by losing weight and in that

fat cell you have a certain amount of

cholesterol that has to come out so your

cholesterol make may go up one of the

big Regulators of cholesterol is bile

salts so if you do have a problem with

your bile because maybe you have liver

fat or you you had your gallbladder

removed or it’s sluggish that alone can

raise your cholesterol because now you

don’t have the

the the thing that helps you eliminate

the excess cholesterol it’s another area

that again A lot of people are not

focusing on

all right very good let’s see um

poor Daisy from YouTube what would be

your recommendation for a six-year-old

with constipation she has been given

Miralax regularly but it’s not working

please help a desperate grandma

yeah uh that medication has a lot of

side effects and for some of that young

to put someone on the medication instead

of like what what what is that child

missing you know do they have enough

potassium in the diet potassium is very

important B1 stimulates the peristalsis

I would first get them on the correct

diet I would also make sure part of that

diet includes maybe some fermented foods

like maybe pickles you know that would

be good or maybe a probiotic and it that

didn’t work

um after fixing the diet you know

getting rid of the refined grains and

sugars and stuff like that I would

um give them a very gentle maybe herbal

laxative maybe something like a smooth

move Smooth Move tea or something like

that just enough to keep things going

um not like a real strong one but just a

mild one in a tea form and keep working

with that but typically this problem is

Diet related and and um

you got to get the child on the right

basic eating plan

all right very good good luck Grandma

okay I’m asking this next question only

because I’m challenging my pronunciation

skills and here we go Mimi from YouTube

can I treat seborrheic keratosis

internally it’s starting to pop up all

over my body help did I say it right doc

yeah um again

check with your doctor before treating

any diseases

but there’s a couple things related to

that condition that relate to a vitamin

A deficiency

which usually is not food related it’s

more gallbladder or liver you’re not

producing the bile to extract the

vitamin A as well as Vitamin D those two

vitamins right there also it could be a

vitamin B2 deficiency as well so the B

vitamins are important

um so the last point I would look at is

what about your ratios of omega-6 to

omega-3 more omega-3 fatty acids and

getting rid of the soy oil and the corn

oil and the cottonseed oil can greatly

help

um all skin problems and if you’re

deficient in omega-3 you definitely will

notice um

scaly dry flaky skin

and abnormal skin but vitamin A is

really the vitamin that helps you

differentiate the skin cells

the Keratin sites current carotocytes

and basically if you if you don’t have

enough of that they tend to develop like

a abnormal cell

that looks kind of rough and dry

all right average guy what a humble

moniker for him average guy from YouTube

I’ve started taking niacin and it’s

helped my blood pressure

but I’ve read that too much can be bad

for the liver can you elaborate

the the research on that of course

they’re scaring people because it’s a

very natural thing and it competes with

a lot of the cholesterol medications

because it’s very potent at lowering

cholesterol

um and there’s a lot of research on like

the positive but of course they have to

emphasize some of the negative which is

you’d have to have large amounts of it

um but even then it’s it’s fairly rare

to cause a liver problem but if you’re

taking the normal amounts of niacin

um even under 500 milligrams I highly

doubt you’re ever going to have liver

problems I mean look at the look at the

benefits of niacin

niacin

for for schizophrenia for blood pressure

take a look at even the mitochondria the

the inside there you have this Krebs

cycle this whole biochemical pathway

um B3 is an necessary nutrient for that

cycle to work

um so it has a lot of important

functions and um

watch my video on us and because you’ll

learn a lot more about that

okay here’s a follow-up question uh from

something you mentioned about shifts

Lita from YouTube my husband has been

working rotating shifts at a power plant

for 30 years he’s working 12-hour shifts

a day and then nights how can we protect

him from the stress the schedule creates

the more that you do those shifts the

the better the diet has to be the the

more things you have to do to reduce

stress the more exercise you’ll have to

do the more maybe recovery with other

naps the more nutrition you need to take

especially in the area of antioxidants

to counter this oxidative stress

um so vitamin C vitamin E things like

that

all right well good luck to you and

thanks for working so hard

to keep the lights on for all of us

all right Matthew from YouTube any tips

for getting young kids into a healthy

keto or should it be in a healthy keto

dog

you start them off very young before

they’re teenagers because after that

point is too late

um but uh I don’t know I think the best

thing too is to educate them early on as

much as possible and then also use a lot

of the substitute keto Foods so that way

they’re not deprived they have the

they can have these so-called pleasure

foods but in a healthy form I would do

that

um but I mean think about teenagers now

or even young kids they’re on the ultra

processed Pathway to health problems I

mean there’s so many they’re consuming

drinking so much fructose and

garbage out there it’s like they’re

they’re just headed for problems now

they might not notice any anything at

first and people often say well

they don’t have a weight problem why

can’t they eat that I’m like it’s not

just about weight

it’s about health so more and more kids

are having younger kids are developing

fatty livers

so it’s becoming a problem and um

but I would suggest maybe starting over

having more kids and then starting them

off healthy early on so that way you can

experience that after I just give the

other kids away and let’s start fresh

anyway

absolutely I had a a couple Russian wife

I don’t know if that has any correlation

in this guy but they did that with their

children this one little girl would sit

excitedly by the oven waiting for the

roasted brussels sprouts to be ready and

just joyously gobble them down so that’s

amazing it really is a learned addiction

to Sugar you know it appears because she

was really excited about that like they

were cookies so let’s move along here

and

where did that go anyway Matthew uh

let’s see Carill excuse me from YouTube

what can be causing low iron and

ferritin levels and low tbic whatever

that is

well the most common reason in females

is menstruation

um but um it could also be diet you’re

let’s you’re a vegan and you’re not

consuming enough of um the the

biovaluable iron foods which is animal

meats and liver

um so I don’t I don’t have that data in

front of me but a really good supplement

to help you with these problems which

have to do with problems with iron and

also things that transport iron and

things that help saturate your

hemoglobin with iron

um would be like

liver pills so like supplements that are

grass-fed liver freeze-dried or even

spleen spleen um pills animals that come

from animals and it’s uh it’s a great

way to help someone with anemia the

other reason

um they might be deficient in iron is

that they have some small intestinal

issues for example

um a small intestinal overgrowth or

maybe even a gastric bypass or they have

stomach acid issues they don’t have

enough acid because you need that acid

to absorb the iron these are all other

common reasons why you might be

deficient in Iron all right

very good well let’s get back to our

quiz questions and the second question

of the day asked how can someone eat

whatever they want and still lose weight

and our audience

popped away from me for a second just a

moment

sorry the audience 65 of them

respondents say that it’s possible with

a high metabolism and regular exercise

20 say it’s possible with omad and

fasting and the remaining 15 say it’s

possible with an under active thyroid

that’s an interesting answer

okay so to make this really simple

you have typically people will tell you

that diet and exercise is the way to

lose weight right

um and diet is responsible for like 85

percent of the results and then exercise

is responsible for 15 of the results but

there’s another variable that’s I think

even more more important

um and it has to do with

what happens to insulin because if you

can keep your insulin low you’re going

to lose more weight and carbs from the

diet are one way but what about the

frequency of eating if you’re eating a

lot of frequent meals and snacks guess

what you’re gonna you’re just gonna be

bathed in so much insulin you’re not

going to lose weight so

I have known people that can eat

whatever they want and just do the one

meal a day and they can be successful at

weight loss and I think I’m probably

talking to the person right now with

with Steve being on the other line but

um yeah but the point is that um those

people who do keto low carb and they cut

out the sugars

and they don’t lose weight

um they have to do the add the one

additional thing which is the uh

the fasting because they have really bad

insulin resistance and I would even

venture to say the price 70 of the

population has that problem with insulin

resistance so they have to do a lot more

work those people that can just lower

some of the carbs the refined carbs and

lose weight

that represents a very smaller group of

people

um and they just you just cut the carbs

and Bam they just start losing weight

they don’t even have to new do

um this um intermittent fasting and all

anyway I wanted to bring it up because I

think um

um some people can get away with things

and other people can’t it really comes

down to insulin resistance

um but if we compare just compare the

magnitude of changing your diet versus

changing the frequency of eating and

having less frequent meals

there’s you’ll lose way more weight if

you focus on that second option there

not that I’m recommending it but I’m

just telling you

that that intermittent fasting is hands

down the most important thing and that

relates to giving up all the snacking

that people just love to do it’s it’s

deadly on your

on your weight yeah well I will concur

that’s my magic intermittent fasting

allows me to be a little naughty in some

ways but I don’t eat a three hour window

every day and what a joyous transition

from struggling my life that has been so

get on it audience and let’s toss

another question Adam Doc and this is an

interesting one

okay

being fatty

fatty help reduce plaquing in the

arteries

all right that seems counterintuitive as

so many things do

but I’m sure the audience will have an

answer and now let’s go back to our

green room and I know you’re going to

like Clayton a great deal because he is

from Wisconsin and Clayton if you will

unmute yourself you’re on with Dr Burke

one question please 30 seconds

um thank you again for all the

information online I’ve been really um

enjoying it it’s covered it about two

weeks ago started the program of Keto

and intermittent intermittent fasting

it’s been helping a lot

um right but

so what I’ve been struggling with is

gastritis and I’ve been

no one has pointed it out I didn’t

really figure it out until watching your

videos

um on it and I’m you know kind of going

through those things there I have a

history of you know all serve gerd IBS

I’ve kind of had it all

so um

I guess I just wanted to ask

um you know should I you know I think

this is leading towards reacidifying my

gut which you have a great video on

um but until I get there I guess like

what advice do you have you know is it

eating smaller portions

um avoiding coffee avoiding spicy foods

avoiding medication I’m curious how long

it’ll take to heal

um if I’m doing the right nutritional

stuff that I’m doing the keto and the

intermittent fasting and no stress and

then I guess I also wonder too well well

I always have an overly sensitive gut

and

issues there so any advice yeah

absolutely what part of Wisconsin are

you from

Eau Claire

okay okay good it’s beautiful

um so um you’re doing all the right

things it does take it could take

um several months

before you want to start introducing

betaine hydrochloride or apple cider

vinegar if you have gastritis because

there’s inflammation in that stomach so

we don’t want to stir anything up

there’s a lining of mucus that protects

your cells

from this acid this really strong acid

um and so what’s happening probably with

you is that that lining is kind of

breaking down to some degree and the one

of the biggest triggers

is stress

but what happens in a stressed state

that breaks it down is that it lowers

your immune system and it causes this H

pylori little guy to come out and start

to um

erode the um

the mucous membrane because there’s an

immune reaction

it has to do with stress

um the it’s a couple good remedies I

don’t know if you caught this on my

videos would be zinc carnal sign that is

a a really good remedy for building up

that mucous layer back on your stomach

as well as sulforaphane

um from broccoli Sprouts or you can get

it from cabbage juice uh you juice

cabbage so you start doing that and now

it puts this H pylori microbe back in

remission because it’s a sneaky little

critter because it it has this enzyme

uh urease that uh

um generates more

urea and generates more ammonia which is

very alkaline so now your Patriot

stomach gets worse and the body

compensates by producing more acid so it

gets all

messed up so you have to kind of um

do everything you can to handle the

stress that’s the biggest Factor long

walks

get the rid of the source of the stress

take take those things I mentioned and

then intermittent fasting will be very

helpful too because every time you eat

you kind of like stirring it more acid

and it could be irritating that lining

but your goal should be to build up that

mucous layer that muconal mucosal layer

that’s protecting

um the surface of your stomach

and there’s um

there’s other remedies out there too to

help with that but I think

those ones I just mentioned probably

enough

um so

that would be my advice

yeah I I just started doing all three

based on your videos

um so I’m on the right track there

thoughts on like

smaller portions avoiding coffee

avoiding spicy food

yeah yeah because you got to keep um you

want to keep the system from having to

overwork too hard so every time you eat

it kind of like puts more stress in the

system and activates the system so like

that’s why the fasting is really really

important and then coffee could be

acidic and spicy foods can be more

acidic to that can irritate it

um this is the

this is probably a case where

what I would recommend if it gets too

bad in certain situations is to take a

little bit of baking soda and water

um just to kind of give you some relief

at least that’s different than an

antacid it’s not going to be nearly as

bad and it’s a bicarbonate and I mean

your pancreas makes it anyway naturally

so sodium bicarbonate

um might be beneficial for you and then

maybe

um the water that you drink I know in

Wisconsin there’s a lot of great

um calcium rich water well water spring

water or even some of the bottled water

that is very high in the bicarbonates

and it’s even alkaline water

naturally alkaline alkalinized so it’s

not like from a machine

all right well Clayton listen thanks so

thanks so much and I know Dr Berg always

is a little partial to those from

Wisconsin and so you’re part of the club

that’s for sure of course yeah and good

luck with that and please as we asked I

had I

I had that exact same thing developed an

ulcer and I know what that feels like it

was miserable but uh yeah you can get

better fully and then look back on this

and like wow remember when I had that

bad gastritis

that was a it’s all gone now so yeah

that’s great thanks Clayton so much okay

so the audience dug in immediately to

question number three the

counter-intuitive one that says how can

eating fatty cheese help reducing plaque

in the arteries and uh 82 percent of the

respondents say it’s because of the K2

and vitamin D and cheese ten percent say

it’s the protein and calcium and the

final eight percent say it’s the Cassian

did I say that right now

casein potassium no it’s with a c

calcium

casein excuse me okay

all right

um anyway so here’s the answer uh the

answer is vitamin K2

uh vitamin K2 um keeps the calcium out

of the arteries it drives the calcium

into the bone and um if you have a part

of plaquing as calcium so there’s even a

test called the CAC test the coronary

artery calcification test which is a

great predictor mortality

um you want it zero so it’s very

important to keep calcium on the

arteries and it gets it starts occurring

when you have inflammation

so um just so happens that vitamin K2 is

in these fatty foods especially

fermented fatty foods as in the um very

fatty cheese in the um so if you can um

brie cheese would be a good source

um but there’s other types of cheeses

well like monster cheese and

some of the other

hard cheeses

um which might not be as fatty but

there’s a lot of different good cheeses

especially in Europe that are loaded

with vitamin K2

this goes completely against what they

say to do you know oh you have to avoid

you know these fatty foods to clean out

your arteries have your whole grains and

limit the sugars

um so

again it’s uh like I always said you

know find out what they are telling you

to do and maybe look in the exact

opposite direction because

um you’ll probably be more successful

all right very good why don’t we clean

out the Green Room by bringing on a

Christie from Colton California and

she’s near the beautiful San Bernardino

Mountains I think that I used to go up

and have fun in so uh Christy one

question in 30 seconds as we get close

to the top of the hour

I will certainly try to keep it um short

so I am looking for a natural way of

treating various

various conditions

um that I have and I’m taking a lot of

medications in order to control those

conditions blood pressure high

cholesterol and sugar my

my my blood pressure and my sugar

[Music]

were horribly horribly uh High

um but I’m having

contraindications between those

medications and then

um side effects now that I see

okay

I got it okay good so um here’s here’s

what I would recommend um it sounds to

me like a classic metabolic syndrome

where you have the blood pressure and

the cholesterol and

um so what I would recommend is uh watch

my videos on insulin we’re doing

reducing insulin get on my basic eating

plan because that way you could reduce

the insulin part of this puzzle and

these things will probably be improved

the other great remedies if you want a

remedy

a natural remedy would be berberine

berberine is a probably one of the best

natural things that to mimic metformin

for insulin resistance so it’s like a

natural version of Metformin without the

side effects

um with the blood pressure

um you know

it should improve when you start cutting

out sugars and taking berberine but

there’s two other things that are

involved with blood pressure you have um

um vitamin D and then you have also

potassium so I think those two would be

really really key as well but

I don’t know if you’ve started keto yet

but I would get on keto immediately and

then it may be probably the most

important thing you’ve ever done

especially for your arteries and what

you’re dealing with but I do understand

that

these medications I mean it’s just it’s

bizarre to me that

um the emphasis is like oh yeah let’s

let’s control your cholesterol let’s

control your blood pressure but okay

what are we going to do to eliminate the

problem what can we do to fix the cause

of the problem that is not addressed at

all it’s like well we don’t know yet but

let’s just keep your blood sugars low

and uh like okay well what about the

diet

oh that’s not important right now

so yeah wow

well Christy listen thank you so much

and we sure would appreciate hearing

backwards did you have one more quick

question it seems as though you had

something to say I I do uh I know a lot

of my blood pressure has to do with the

stress at work

very toxic environment very very toxic

and I was off actually for a number of

months for another medical condition and

all of my levels my sugar my VP

everything was like completely normal uh

it I went back and everything went up

high uh skyrocketed so I know that

that’s something that I need to do in

terms of the my diet I really try to be

careful and do many of the things I

haven’t started the keto which I will

look at seriously but

um that’s I know that a lot of it is

stress related

okay so um this is very brings up the

omitted information that I needed

because you’re right

stress activates adrenaline cortisol

both adrenaline and cortisol mobilize

glucose from your body your body starts

making glucose for quick energy now

what’s going to happen next is a lot of
