thank you

well hello and welcome back we’re here

for another cue at a anything that I say

is definitely not intended to cure any

diseases check with your doctor before

implementing any of the things we’re

going to talk about and we have a great

lineup great questions

so let’s get started all right very good

let me look at this I’m going to reach

back here a little bit Eddie uh excuse

me Terry is so good at this there’s one

thing

that someone wrote and dagged me but I

can’t find it but they were talking

about how great they did a 60 pound loss

that’s terrific from all the things that

you don’t tell people to do or don’t

insist that it will help so that’s great

Dr Berg somehow it filters through and

people get these great results

nonetheless so congratulations to you

sir I’ll find you again somewhere for

your 60 pound loss he’s feeling terrific

and he’s on uh the Dr Berg regimes so

that’s wonderful other people on uh

social media which we love they’re just

flooding the questions in Hilda from

YouTube do you have a guide that we

could access that recommends which

vitamins to take on a daily basis and

how much thank you that is a good

question

well it’s been difficult to find a guy

like that and unfortunately um

I could do it maybe I could just get my

cell phone out and people can just call

me randomly but that probably won’t work

either so what I can do is I can uh

how about this I’ll create a video

a very detailed video on just

supplements so I’m making a note right

there so that way

I can do that and solve that problem but

there are I do want to list a network of

at least some good docs that I know that

are good evaluators

um because you you need a good evaluator

to figure things out so I will also work

on that I had it on the list at one time

and I I need to do that because it would

be nice to have

um someone to help people specifically

like one-on-one

okay that’s uh just a terrific

oh here we go I want to give credit to

Noah from YouTube I’ve lost 60 pounds

while on healthy keto since last

November thank you from all of us for

your help and your resources you have

put together with a bunch of exclamation

marks so that’s great Noah what a great

feeling that is

okay and if any if if you have had a

great success please please please go to

our website there’s a little button

there and upload your before and afters

or your testimonial with a picture of

you I’d really appreciate that because I

would love to read your own success

story and hear it from it and we’re we’d

like to just um

you know have as many success stories as

possible and uh I think you just

sometimes need to ask for one right so

this is my request well that’s great and

by the way uh audience Dr Berg takes

your questions very seriously in fact

it’s pretty critical because he’s put

out thousands of videos and he wants to

know what’s on your mind so he can serve

you and so when you put these out and

unfortunately we can’t obviously get

them all on the air uh but the the rest

of them he goes through them and that’s

the fodder for the videos that you watch

so thank you all for uh you know making

uh the entire Berg program better by

your input so he learns a lot from your

questions all right let’s see um

poor Joanna from YouTube I’ve had

diarrhea for weeks now with no

resolution I’ve been on keto and iaf

since April stools were first firm if

you want that much information uh and

form but now I’m experiencing explosive

diarrhea how awful help well it sounds

to me like there’s something that you

newly introduced to your diet that’s

causing this and that’s it’s kind of

dangerous to have diarrhea for that long

because you lose your electrolytes which

can really mess everything up so what I

would recommend is

take a look at what you ate before and

what you introduced is it is it just uh

more greens than usual some people can’t

tolerate the greens and they have

diarrhea just from too too much salad

that could be it could it could it be a

supplement that you added that’s

creating diarrhea

um so you really need to figure that out

fast uh in the meantime I think adding

uh some kefir with blackberries blend it

up in a a little shake and consume that

that that tends to stop diarrhea

um and you need more probiotics too but

um it sounds to me there’s something in

your diet that you’re and then in the

past I think for my observation it could

be just the introduction of all way too

many vegetables that you can’t tolerate

so you might need to back off and see if

that doesn’t help all right good luck to

you that’s a terrible issue uh let’s see

Andrea from Facebook this is interesting

what could be the cause of night

paralysis what’s that

well it’s a normal thing that happens

with um our sleep cycles there’s a

certain uh thing that kicks in that

causes us to be paralyzed but that’s

actually you’re in deep sleep right but

it uh there is another condition

um which is associated with called

narcolepsy which you just

can fall asleep during the day so I’m

not specifically what uh understanding

exactly

you know what exactly your problem is

um is you said it’s at night it’s

paralysis well you probably want to be

paralyzed that when you’re sleeping

right I so I I would have to have more

data to really know more about that but

if it’s during the day you should then

watch my video on narcolepsy which uh

people just it could be dangerous you’re

driving and you fall asleep that’s not

good well you know the audience might

relate to this and I’ve had this a few

times in my life where I am just on the

brink of sleep and feel Frozen and then

suddenly Lurch out of it uh and it’s

very uncomfortable so I don’t know if

that’s what they’re talking about but um

but no yeah it could be very uh bad if

you’re driving right which which oh yeah

you know falling asleep just because you

haven’t slept well

um I think uh one little thing is if you

do have sleeping problems uh I would

just

as a way of coping with it as you’re

watching my videos to solve it

take naps lay in bed longer so you could

eventually maybe get some additional

hours

but having a sufficient sleep boy does

that solve so many problems related to

hunger cravings blood sugars stress in

the heart uh energy during the day Focus

cognitive function overall mood during

the day it’s really really key okay I’ve

got a question for you doc so I’ve heard

that if you can’t sleep but your lane

still lights are off your eyes are

closed and you’re just sort of well I

guess existing but relaxing that you can

still gain some of the benefits of sleep

is that true or not

no that’s true you can gain some of them

not many but it’s definitely better than

nothing yeah

um so like even some people if they’re

driving they feel tired they pull over

somewhere and they’re just resting and

now they can keep driving because they

didn’t fall asleep but they can rest

um

I’m kind of Lucky and then I can

literally pull over close my eyes and

actually go take a three minute power

nap and feel refreshed

um some people can’t do that I I lucked

out on that so that’s cool

all right here we go again people

bragging about the wonderful life that

has spawned from their knowing you Tina

from Fresno on YouTube uh has lost 65

pounds upping our last uh person by five

pounds in the last year following your

programs thank you Dr Byrd so there we

go again wow that’s and then that’s

amazing other people that have

experienced that and are hopeful are the

ones listening to us around the world so

he will be back no that’s incredible

only viewers that’s the only viewers

that’s a Believer well audience yeah

audience we hope you like that it does

take a little bit of time but man it’s

just amazing and people seem to like to

throw in their name on that there’s

always a couple of stragglers they’re

coming about what about us so uh I think

it’s appreciated all right uh let’s get

our first quiz question for the day up

there and Doc here it is

the one Trace mineral that the Japanese

consume 20 times

more of or 20 times more of huh everyone

else in the world

all right climb on it and by the way and

by the way certain parts of Japan they

they live a lot longer so it might be

good to know this question and how it

could relate to maybe longevity possibly

no kidding I’d like a few more years

okay let’s go back to uh I tell it let’s

go to the green room and June from Juno

Beach she is a repeat customer here

calling in so she’s an expert on one

question 30 seconds she’s going to lead

the way and tell the rest of the people

in The Green Room just exactly how to

behave and start off to see if she

remembered to unmute herself so June

you’re on with Dr Burke I did I unmuted

myself hi good morning Dr Berg thank you

so thank you so much for being so

accessible to us all and I pre

appreciate your uh teaching style and

how concise you are and how you break

things down for us to digest it I even

have my own little Dr bird Notebook

every time I watch a video so I wanted

to say thank you

um I believe it was your birthday in

March when I first got to speak with you

and you helped me with my sleep issues

and I was having heat running up and

down my spine at night while I slept you

gave me suggestions of seek help

um tocatrinol and desiccated adrenal and

I’ve been following I fell in love with

your formula right I don’t know sleeping

and I also was

um taking your electrolyte because I was

having cramping and like the woman

Joanna who posed the question

I all of a sudden traded off all my

great sleep

for a very loose bowel issues so I

figured it must have been the Magnesium

Citrate because you even have a video

about magnesium citrate and how it’s a

laxative

however I don’t want to give up my sleep

and I just wanted to tell you that I now

I’m taking the adrenal stress I take

three plus one sleep aid and I’m still

sleeping great but I and I’ve done the

kefir you you have a video about what to

take and things to try

um but I’ve done the key for the

blackberries I’ve I’ve gone through the

gamut I’m taking something to bind me

I just I’m so afraid to completely stop

all the supplements that are helping me

to sleep so my question is what do I do

because I don’t want to trade off my

sleep

so I think the best thing to do

um it’s most likely the Magnesium

Citrate which is in the electrolyte

powder so what you can do take that one

put it to the side for a little bit

until you re-establish your your system

so you’re good which might take a couple

days then at that point

um maybe you take a good amount less so

we take less of that

um if there is a problem with slate the

the other form of magnesium that doesn’t

create diarrhea is magnesium glycinate

so glycinate and uh that one helps sleep

big time

just like magnesium citrate but without

the laxative effect

so um

and I know one of the problems with

having loose bowels is that you lose

your electrolytes so now we have to

replace those so it’s kind of like a

double-edged sword so here we have

um

I have a product that has uh something

in there that is really good for people

with constipation but it might might be

too much so I would reintroduce maybe

start off with like a quarter of it just

a quarter of it and with a quarter of a

little uh scooper with the electrolyte

when you start re introducing and see if

that’s an issue I doubt it’s going to be

a problem but I think you’re just

getting too much magnesium citrate

um so that’s one solution and I don’t

think um magnesium citrate is in any

other products it’s in um I’m sorry I um

I’m obsessed with your product so

just wanted you to know that there is in

the sleep aid there’s seven milligrams

so that’s why I went down to one

um and then

um I take a cocktail of different things

but here’s your magnesium glycinate so

okay so

um you might might be getting a little

too much magnesium but I think um that

that small amount in the Sleep formula

is so small that would not create a

problem but in the electrolyte powder

that’s higher amounts that might be the

source so that’s the one I would just

kind of put to the side for a little bit

and I think that should solve solve the

issue

and um

um maybe you also at the same time just

take

one of the capsules of the Magnesium

glycinate so that way you’re getting

you’re getting a good amount but not

like too much and you can just kind of

like

cope with that a little bit as you

re-establish things um

um and I’m sure that you’re you’re also

getting magnesium from your diet too

you’re following it so you can imagine

like you might just be getting

accumulated accumulating just a bit too

much magnesium in general

okay because it relaxes muscles and

smooth muscles of the colon

um so if you’re doing like for example

just three cups of leafy greens will

give you about

400 milligrams of potassium so I don’t

know if you’re doing seven to ten cups

well you’re you’re getting a lot of

potassium you might be getting a little

too much

all right that’s great well June thank

you so much and we hope that works out

and and of course you demonstrated to

the audience that you can come back if

you’ve got some follow-up answers uh you

know for us so thank you for being such

a great contestant if that’s what we

call you that’s a wonderful let’s see

quiz question number one uh created a

stir people looked at that and answered

it and then asked what is the one Trace

mineral that the Japanese who are all so

annoyingly healthy consume 20 more 20

times more of and it’s 57 say it’s

fermented foods like NATO natto 33 foods

rich in iodine that’s what I guessed and

10 say fish or fish oils any winners

okay the winners uh are iodine they

consume 20 times more iodine than than

most other countries so that’s in Sea

calpin c c vegetables so iodine is um

very very interesting because it greatly

significantly reduces the risk of breast

cancer prostate cancer stomach cancer it

helps your thyroid it helps

regulate excessive amounts of estrogen

so it does a lot

um but I think

we could take good advice from them and

start consuming more foods rich in

iodine sea kelp is a no-brainer but um

make sure if you’re doing a seek help uh

that it’s from seaweed coming from a

part of our oceans that are in the clean

because sometimes there could be heavy

metals involved so you want a good

source very good speaking of which is

there better controls over Farm fish I

remember you were talking about last

week it’s kind of gray salmon but is it

otherwise safer in terms of mercury or

the other elements to have a farm

no no it’s not safer there is more

omega-3 but there’s also way too much

omega-6 in farm fish farm-raised fish so

yeah there’s uh it comes with a package

um and uh also you know why is it gray

why do they have to add synthetic

pigments coloring well because people

wouldn’t eat it number one and why is it

gray in the first place because they’re

not eating what normal fish eat and so

if you’re

trying to eat food or fish or plants

whatever that doesn’t really come in the

natural form

is it healthy I I don’t think it is so

um it’s hard to get health from things

that aren’t necessarily grown in a

healthy way that’s just my theory

but I’m sticking to it Steve all right

very good okay let’s see uh Sandra from

Facebook my husband gets pins and

needles feelings in his hands at night

at night time what could be the cause of

this condition

that is called peripheral peripheral

neuropathy and

most the time it’s related to blood

sugars and pre-diabetes or insulin

resistance

so in that case you would want to change

your diet get off the sugar and refine

carbs get on keto intermittent fasting

and also take benefit mean

and maybe even alpha lipoic acid

together those uh that benfotamine which

is a B vitamin will help correct that as

long as you correct your diet but let’s

say for example you’re already on keto

and everything’s going great and it’s

not the problem which is a smaller

percentage of this time and you still

have these these symptoms pins and

needles then you need to look at

calcium because

hypercalcemia too much calcium can

create the same symptoms which is

interesting so that’s just another cause

but it’s more rare

so I have a video on that you can search

that out all right very good let’s see

Rachel from YouTube I have been insulin

resistant and have Hashimoto’s I’ve been

on keto for four months but still have

low blood sugar levels any suggestions

that you’d recommend Dr Berg

well some people are concerned about

this hypoglycemia and I’m not talking

about those that are a diabetic type 1

where they’re taking insulin they have

to take it and also to get on keto and

it ends up low well then they go oh my

gosh that’s dangerous and I have to take

more medication well why don’t you just

cut back on the insulin that’s pushing

it down

That’d Be A New Concept but for everyone

else if you end up with low blood sugar

and you feel good which is the majority

of the time that’s a normal response

when you start reducing the amount of

carbohydrate in your diet your blood

sugars will come down sometimes even in

the 60s

and this is your new normal

is it unhealthy no

um maybe if you feel like weak and tired

you need to eat but the point is that

that hypoglycemia thing

is uh really uh caused by higher levels

of insulin that are pushing that blood

sugar down so when you correct that with

keto and intermittent fasting

um

your your uh your system will come back

and balance and uh you’ll find that you

just won’t

um need that that sugar at one at 80

anymore it can go down a little bit

lower and you’ll feel fine so you have

to you you have to use common sense and

judgment and look at the whole picture

um and just because your blood sugars

are low if you feel fine

why would you want to raise them now

because it’s your new normal that makes

sense well I forgot that our friend in

Canada Bindi

excuse me is at work and so I just let

him sit there and rot while I took

another collar that was just terrible

Bindi I hope you’ll forgive me but

you’re on with Dr Berg with your brief

question go ahead Mindy

yeah thanks for taking my call here so I

got two tests done that you recommend I

got the calcium the cactus done which my

score came as zero then I got the

particle size test done which I’m a

little bit confused about so my LDL p8

came around 3 000 Nemo per liter and my

small ldlp came around 1100 Nano moles

per liter

and my LDL size is 20.6

so it’s that’s something to be concerned

about or

so your your your small dense particle

size are less than your

your large buoyant correct

uh large buoyant

yes

okay well that’s good that’s a good

thing

um because

um even like when and this is a

confusion a lot of people have when they

measure their cholesterol

um cholesterol does not exist in the

blood by itself it’s in a package with

protein so it can move around so then

now we’re dealing with the LDL

and LDL is uh comes in different sizes

and um yeah if it’s the large buoyant

it’s a lot less uh going to penetrate

the inside of your endothelial wall and

the arteries

so the fact that your large buoyant is

greater than your small dents this is a

really good thing also the fact that

your CAC which is a coronary artery

calcification test is zero is a really

good thing too it means you’d have no

calcium in your arteries which is

um that test is probably one of the best

predictors of mortality so that means

chances are there’s no inflammation

going on to for your body to accumulate

calcium in the first place or

or any type of clotting or any of that

stuff so

um it sounds like you’re in pretty good

shape

okay

perfect thank you I appreciate that

you’re welcome

that’s great thank you so much bendy and

by the way I don’t know where you should

advertise but it looks like you worked

for Ashley Furniture and I got my living

room filled from that great company I

really love them so um Ashley if you

want to send me a free easy chair or

something for saying that I sure

appreciate it all right let’s see let’s

move on

uh and that was a hint for you airbendi

I’ll be expecting that you have my

address all right next Quiz question

please and here it is

okay

what is the best healing

and repair food as it relates to

exercise

simple enough

climb on that audience let’s go back to

the Green Room this time Christina is

coming to us from Spain

Christina let me see oh There She Goes

her head popped up from her business and

there you go you’re all with Dr Berg one

quick question 30 seconds go

yes what is the best way to lose a belly

fat because I have a lot and

seems very slow since I have

heco Motors

[Music]

it was Hashimoto’s I believe the the

best thing is to um first of all with

Hashimoto’s surprise the most important

thing and this would be

completely handled when you did my

healthy version of the ketogenic diet is

get off the gluten and the grains cut

the grains out no grains and I know they

probably don’t have a lot of grains in

Spain so I think you’re safe on that

that was a sarcasm

um but um also I think I would I would

do the

um low carb I would cut out the

carbohydrates and also any and I’m

talking about sugars but not the

vegetables so if you do a lot of uh meat

meats and uh

high quality sausage especially that you

have over there that’s really healthy

and the olive oil and all that and then

low carb you’re going to start to um

lose weight okay and primarily it’s

going to be first of the liver and then

you’re going to notice your stomach

started to reduce so you want to get on

a healthy ketogenic diet and you could

find that right on my website and get

the carbs down I would get the carbs

down to like 10 grams per day then what

you do is you add in a lot of walking

um in fact I don’t know if you know this

but there’s a place in Spain where you

can actually even walk across the entire

um country I think I think it’s the 12

Day walk if I’m not mistaken you should

get on that walk because walking is one

of the best things to also help reduce

your your stomach weight as well

um and that way you could focus on

a lot of that so the combination of both

of those

um but I think uh you should just jump

on that start now and I think um you’ll

be pleasantly surprised how it helps

your belly

all right well okay thank you

Christina she is at the world record

with the most succinct question boy

we’re proud of you let’s give her a bell

ring for that that was great and that

helps us get excuse me everything done

on the show now I have a frog in my

throat okay

let’s see how about back to social media

Sparky from YouTube please share your

suggestions for Stress Management

sort of a big question

there’s a great book uh it’s called

relax and win by a

um Olympic coach and I really like his

philosophy he’s worked with many many

Olympic athletes and helped athletes

become record world record holders I

think it was like was it I’m not

mistaken 17 world record holders so

obviously he’s doing something right and

he really has to train his athletes on

how to relax more while they’re training

while they’re recovering during the

match before the match so I think um

it’s really a a mind shift of

start focusing on your breathing don’t

take things so serious uh have a very

Carefree attitude towards life don’t

watch the news or things that are

talking about bad news hang out with

people that are not so darn negative and

that’s going to help you now from a diet

standpoint

keto is going to help reduce the

sympathetic nervous system

ashwagandha is one of the best herbs

that you can take as an adaptogen and of

course

um

you know there’s many other things you

can take like lemon balm tea is a great

one for stress as well but um I think

those are my quick tips of the day for

that well that’s great news is one of

the mental sufferers around the world I

just always like to reiterate that it is

the best antidepressant that I have ever

found is following uh Dr Berg’s various

regimes intermittent fasting for me and

lower sugar I can’t call myself keto but

when I eat a bunch of sugar I feel like

crap for days and I I am not depressed

when I am fairly

um

you know diligent on following them so

anybody that’s listening just wondering

well I don’t care if my stomach sticks

out how about your mood if you want to

see that improve enormously uh give this

thing a shot and if it didn’t work Dr

Berg will gladly refund your misery

so that is a great guarantee right well

also you take the nutritional yeast

which is full of the vitamins especially

B1 oh yeah that’s the thing I forgot

about the B1 is uh it’s a nutritional

yeast is uh Dynamite for instant stress

relief you’ll feel like within three

minutes you just feel like a sense of

relief I can breathe again it’s uh

interesting

um effect I used to use in practice all

the time but

um that that’s a no-brainer that’s like

it works nearly 100 of the time when

it’s terrific okay quiz question number

two asked what is the best healing

repair food as it relates to exercise

and our audience 65 percent of them say

it’s a form of protein like meat or eggs

25 say healthy fats five percent say

leafy vegetables like spinach and five

percent say foods rich in creatine

well you’re absolutely right it is meat

and it’s definitely red meat red meat

has one of the best Healers of anything

or exercise recovery I mean think about

what red meat is it’s muscle meat and

it’s red what is that redness that’s

iron that is um loaded with B12

um and it’s the most bioavailable B12

and iron that you can have plus it has

the more concentrated amino acids than

even eggs so it’s better to recover than

even eating eggs so um and also I’ve

never in practice found any patient ever

allergic to red meat or meat in general

um definitely eggs and shellfish and soy

and these other things but not red meat

now some people

um

I’ve been told that red meat is

carcinogenic or they’ve been told that

it’s uh it’s bad for you it’s unhealthy

well we’re not talking about

the hot dogs you’re getting at 7-Eleven

we’re talking about uh grass-fed quality

red meat as we get older we lose the

stomach acid to digest it and then our

taste for it might go down

um so just take butane hydrochloride

increase the stomach acid but I will say

that for healing especially as someone

ages that I think red meat would be a

good solution in general there are

certain other conditions that are um

that maybe you might do better with fish

especially if you have more inflammation

but generally speaking if we compare the

two there’s more uh concentrated amino

acids more concentrated nutrition as

well as omega-3 than many many other

types of protein so I will create a

video on that and uh

share that data with you but I consume a

lot of red meat but it’s in the form of

hamburger

um of course from my own Farm but you

can get it from

you know U.S Wellness meats you can

order online or even like just at the

farmer’s market or even at the grocery

store but it’s it’s pretty um good for

Recovery because those amino acids and

all the cofactors that allow it to work

versus doing protein powder like way

without all these co-factors cofactors

are the key to allow these amino acids

to really be activated in your body so

stay tuned for a more depth video on

that

the the recently uh very popular doctor

Jordan Peterson I just heard him the

other day he’s been on red meat for five

years straight that’s all he eats and

he’s enormously healthy he reports and

he looks at and it doesn’t appear that

he’s succumbed to cancer or anything

else awful so that just amazes me but he

just eats red meat and he did mention

it’s you know high quality but anyway

that that really surprised me what an

amazing thing that is he’s a he’s a uh

he’s doing the carnivore diet because of

his digestive problems

um so that’s why he’s doing it um I’m

I’m half carnivore and half vegan so if

you can you put them together I’m I ate

the plants and the and the meat and it

doesn’t seem to bother me and I like it

for various reasons but

um

and that’s all I’m going to say about

that Steve well what do you have to say

about this doc our next question

okay all right so right when the uh

dog is barking okay which food contains

the greatest amount of vitamin A

that was pretty simple audience climb on

that please

um

let’s see Tina from Fresno on YouTube

oh wait did I read that I think I did 65

pounds in the last year I did I’m sorry

Terry you popped it back up but that’s

worth hearing about

let’s see um oh and see what happens you

mentioned who’s watching and other

people say hey what about me a shout out

to our viewers joining us today from

Italy uh uh Moldova Estonia Sri Lanka

ice Iceland I was about to say Iceberg

thinking of lettuce Greece and finally

Bangladesh so thank you all for joining

in and enjoying the great health that

has spawned from all of our discussions

here on the Dr Berg live show okay uh

how about Isabel uh she wants to know

from Facebook by the way what’s the best

natural way to treat diverticulosis

well that’s a that is a problem with

your digestive system it’s probably

involving inflammation needing Scar

Tissue so glutamine is the best hand

hands down uh remedy for leaky gut and

irritation to the colon okay so that’s

one thing as a supplement but the other

thing is you probably want to do the

carnivore diet for about two months do

it healthily and that will help heal the

stomach because you might have a problem

with them

uh plants and they can act irritate your

colon

okay well good luck with that let’s move

on here Terry I don’t know how you type

so much stuff it’s unbelievable uh

we talked to about Stress Management

let’s see diverticulated smell now wow

sorry folks I should be better prepared

your time’s valuable Spider-Man 83 from

YouTube

um it just popped up Tara you told me

not to scroll back up and I just did it

so let me look down here okay thank you

Terry he got fed me another Marcella

from YouTube I was curious if you had

any special recommendations for diets

for dogs I’m hoping uh you might have

some suggestions that something to talk

about Don

yeah dogs do uh do not they’re not

vegans they’re not vegetarians they do

good on meat and organ meats and if you

could find a dog food that is

freeze-dried that’s even better but um

I’ll have to do uh actually I might have

done a video on this already but I do

have a dog food that seems to work well

but unfortunately a lot of them are are

not freeze-dried so you get uh you tend

to get this over cooked uh and then they

add soy on there and gluten and all

sorts of things that dogs don’t need to

have in their diet so

It’s a combination of meat and organ

Meats would be the best

all right that’s terrific now our final

Green Room contestant is Tammy and I

must do a shout out to her husband who

acted as the I.T professional and got I

got her set up proving that men are

worth more than just belching and

drinking beer so thank you sir for

helping her out and uh let’s see let me

bring her on and there you are and it

sounds like you’re on muted go ahead

with your one question in 30 seconds

Tammy

good morning Dr Burke I’ve watched you

for a few years and thank you for having

me my question to you is I am type 2

diabetic I have

neuropathy retinopathy charcoal in the

left foot high blood pressure and now

um

low functioning

kidneys at 29 my GFR and I’m really

conflicted between I’m I’m well versed

with fasting

and but I’m conflicted between Keto

and Whole Food plant-based

um can you kind of help me with that and

why why do you choose keto I yeah

yeah well if you take a look at just uh

the problem that you have you have

diabetes right diabetes is one problem

so if we take a look at what diabetes is

it’s a uh

it’s a disease of high sugar okay so it

involves insulin involves carbohydrates

and so naturally the solution would be

to reduce the amount of carbohydrates

because the need for medication will go

down

um and so now the question is how do you

do that do you do it with plants uh well

plants are necessary to help you for

sure but you also need um

protein high quality protein simply

because when you have insulin resistance

now you can’t pull in these amino acids

so what would give you the most

bioavailable proteins of anything that’s

the question and that would be animal

products because it’s very difficult to

get the sufficient high quality amino

acids as well as the B12 and these other

things that normally come from animal

products so

um

there are diabetics that that can do

plant-based but it’s more difficult

because of the also the grains that are

involved and the digestive problems with

um that come and go come along with the

beans and legumes and things like that

but there it’s a possible it’s just a

lot more difficult so I think it’s going

to be easier for you to do this uh with

um a combination of plants and proteins

from meats and eggs and fish

um so that’s my take on it and then

let’s say you’re still confused then why

don’t you for yourself try out one

method for a while see how you do and

then try out the other method and see

which works better for you then you

really will know and you don’t even have

to wait for the next scientific study to

come out but I will say for that

neuropathy that you have as a quick

solution Ben otamine is a really good

remedy and you can get it anywhere

online benfotamine and just take four of

those a day spread them out and give it

about a week or two and see what happens

I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised

oh that’s awesome thank you I appreciate

it can you direct me to uh

um specific book

um for the clean keto yeah I just happen

to have one it’s called the keto the

healthy keto plant

uh it’s right on my website or it’s on

Amazon but uh yeah I do have a book on

that that gives you the details and you

can even while you’re waiting for that

book you can actually go to my website

under videos and there’s a video that

says start here

and that’s where you’d start and then

when you get done with that video

there’ll be video number two and then

three and then at least you’ll be able

to get into it pretty quick

alrighty

um so you you really feel that

um having kidney function problems like

I’m stage four that it would be safe for

me to do them so the there’s some

there’s definitely you need to help with

your doctor because

um when you start getting up there with

kidney disease then you need some help

to make sure you’re not taking too much

of this versus that and that usually is

stage five is the problem that you need

to really but stage four is borderline

so I would get with your doctor to make

sure but

um you know what I’m recommending is a

healthy diet that is not not necessarily

taking large amounts of vitamins we’re

just talking about a diet itself and so

um like I didn’t even mention potassium

at all I’m just talking about the diet

um but if you even take a look at one

more piece of data

um the number one cause of kidney

disease is diabetes right

so you really need something that can

fix your diabetes and the healthy

version of the ketogenic diet is is

really your answer

um so that’s kind of where you want to

go because that’s like at the root of

the problem that’s great well Tammy

thank you so much sure appreciate you

coming along with us we gotta move along

here and Tammy I want you to watch this

too because you’re going to get the

exciting answer from quiz question

number three which asks which food

contains the greatest amount of vitamin

A and I immediately thought Bugs Bunny

in the carrots the audience differed 55

percent of respondents say it’s beef

liver 25 say cod liver or cod liver oil

10 say eggs or dairy and 10 say parsley

well eggs are egg yolk is a really good

source of vitamin A okay even more than

meat but

liver as in beef liver has 70 times more

vitamin A dang so the answer is liver

and uh uh I I wish I liked liver I would

have some but I don’t so I’ll stick with

my eggs but if you have a little liver a

couple times a week Steve you’ll have

enough vitamin A to get you through any

deficiency problem that you have and

remember vitamin A is um

will help you see in the dark at night

when you’re driving and so also it’s

good for your skin it’s good for the

immune system and any type of

problem that you have with your inner

skin like the esophagus the inside of

the colon inside of the mouth the

sinuses especially the lungs vitamin A

is a really important but I never would

recommend taking vitamin A as a

supplement

but anytime you do you’ll see that it

says beta-carotene we’ll realize that’s

a precursor that’s not what we’re

talking about like retinol we’re talking

about the precursor so you don’t have to

worry about that I’m but you do have to

worry about some of these synthetic

versions of vitamin A that people take

in supplements I don’t recommend those

when that’s interesting you spoke or

someone did of diverticulitis and

everyone seems to have it at least guys

do when you have a

colonoscopy but a friend of mine it’s

more serious and you can think his

intestines or his colon blew up he was

on a colostomy he almost died from

infection it was a big big deal so

taking care of your gut you know is more

than just reading the sheet I guess but

that scared me so he he was in tough

shape for almost a year before he

finally got sewn back together so do you

know what you know what the best food

for the for that condition would be of

any food on the planet Earth would be

Raw

sauerkraut huh

and you can when you buy sauerkraut you

go to the store don’t get the ones that

are sitting on the shelf that have

preservatives those are are sterilized

the benefit of the sauerkraut is all the

microbes but you have to go to the

healthy store for that or make it your

own

um yourself but you buy it um a high

quality sauerkraut and just have a

little bit before you eat really really

amazing for your gut way more microbes

than any probiotic you can take it is a

probiotic and it’s a Prebiotic and the

other thing

which is the icing on the cake is the

Cabbage that they use for that

sauerkraut cabbage happens to be

um very unique in certain things that

heal the colon and the stomach and

gastritis

um anytime someone has a problem with

that

they will have problems with vegetables

but somehow they’re okay with cabbage in

different forms so

um that’s just a side tip stage for

for someone that they’re if you want a

good idea on that well they should

there’s a lot of diverticulitis and

among those I’m sure a lot of people

suffering so thank you Dr Berg and

audience this is exciting it’s a true

falsa which means you have a 50 chance

of being smart even if you’re wrong

okay true or false it is not uncommon

for grocery store eggs to be 60 days old

before you buy them

interesting I heard that they peel

easier if you leave them in the

refrigerator later I mean they’re

hard-boiled but who knows I’m sure

you’ll tell us all about that and let’s

go back to social media

uh Miriam from YouTube I was told that

she needs a knee replacement what are

your thoughts on the impact of

artificial joints on the rest of the

body how big a deal is that

okay

you mean she’s considering getting

artificial joints and other joints well

she needs a knee replacement she’s just

worried about in addition to the knee

what does it do to her otherwise

well I mean it’s

it really depends on your situation I’m

not qualified to tell you one way or the

other it’s just that it’s another

surgery and uh you have to be pretty

healthy to go through a surgery uh to

recover from that but um some people

need it because the joint is bone on

bone but you know I will say uh one

thing that I would recommend looking

into is stem cell for your joints I am

blown away at what that can do and of

course if you are going to consider that

you want to research the type

mesenchymal stem cell which is involving

taking your own fat spinning it down

with enzymes to then pull through stem

cells and put them back in you so I just

had it done

and so far so good I need another month

to report back and I will do a video on

that but stem cell is fascinating for

for anything arthritis joint so many

different problems

um to help heal heal the body

um so anyway that’s what I would

possibly take a look at all right very

good we have a worldwide consensus the

last question to which they answered

almost instantly true false it’s not

uncommon for grocery store eggs to be 60

days old before you buy them 100 of the

audience say that that’s true

yeah there’s no um

exact law that states that you have to

even put an expiration date on it and so

uh unfortunately a lot of these

commercial eggs sit on the Shelf

for quite some time I mean that’s like

that’s crazy to even think about that

because

of course I get my own eggs if I like

the eggs that I eat have been

around for a couple days and uh if you

don’t wash them they last for

you know a good good amount of time but

then you’d want to put them in the

refrigerator eventually to help them

last longer but the point is 60 days is

kind of old

um

you have to there’s a huge difference

between the commercial eggs that you buy

conventional eggs and the eggs that are

pastured raised

organic there’s a huge difference

um

so you

you know if even if we take a regular

egg and that’s you know that these poor

chickens are in cages okay they’re in

cages right their whole life they never

see the light of day those can’t be good

but then you have cage free

uh cage-free allows them one square foot

of space okay so they don’t they’re not

in the cage but they’re still in this

Barn where you have sometimes up to 20

to 30 to 80 to 100 000 chickens in one

space right that can’t be healthy but

then you have free range which allows

maybe a hole in the barn where they can

stick their head out and see outside for

a little bit

and then we have pasture pastured raised

which allows the chicken to have

108 foot per chicken square foot so that

gives them a much more more space to

roam around

um to eat insects and bugs and things

like that so unfortunately there’s um

there’s a big difference I would not

consume a commercial chicken egg I would

always do a pastured raised and if I

could I would also add that word organic

um for various reasons and that’s going

to relate to the next question that

we’re going to bring up

all right very good uh and here’s our

final one of the day a true falser

here we go true or false animal waste is

a common ingredient in animal feeds

okay well that’s the last time I take a

little bite out of my cat’s Purina can

that’s off the table now after reading

that so you can only pray we’re not just

talking about that Steve we’re talking

about any animal feeds oh like how do

they throw yeah yeah chickens you know

that type of stuff all right very good

audience gross but I want you to hold

your nose and answer the question as

honestly as you can

all right back to YouTube KL from

YouTube what’s the best way to add

stinging nettle root to our diets

it is supplements you can even grow it

it’s probably already in your backyard

you don’t even know it you should take a

see what it looks like it’s growing all

around where I am and let’s say you had

arthritis in your hands you could just

take some of that and just rub it around

your hands it’s it’ll it’ll create a

little numbness but it’s great for

rheumatoid arthritis or you can even

cook it or steam it and have it in a tea

or buy it as a tea but um that’s pretty

much the the ways I would recommend it

um but it’s quite effective for

arthritis and inflammation it’s a very

potent anti-inflammatory stinging nettle

root

all right very good Faye Julie in

Bangladesh on Facebook Dr Berg we are

experiencing an outbreak of dingy fever

throughout the country what would you

recommend we do to protect ourselves

I would start uh number one increasing a

lot of garlic in your diet

oregano oil

and vitamin D3 in large amounts that’s

what I would do if I were you there’s

many other things you can take as well

um

uh like black walnut Halls

um

but um

I I have a video on on

that topic you can search that I don’t

know how old it is but that might give

you more detailed information

all right very good let’s see Paulette

from Facebook my husband has a sharp

pain under his left rib cage his doctor

felt the area and said he could feel

spasms he took a muscle relaxer and that

helped with the pain but now he has

constipation what are your thoughts

about this condition

yeah

you got to find out what’s causing it I

mean that that’s an area that’s could be

referred from the heart so you might

want to get a evaluation of the heart

that’s really important you have the

spleen over there as well

you know so the pancreas could be

digestive related but it sounds to me

like I would get I would check the heart

too because okay let’s get rid of that

that angina pain and then all of a

sudden it comes comes back where you

have side effects from the medication so

um

that is the problem with the side

effects from medications is that the

side effects so unfortunately

um you want to find the root cause not

just treat the symptom

wow and here’s Emily from Facebook what

do you recommend for panic attacks and

anxiety for some reason in my teenage

years I had a panic attack and I almost

went to the hospital I’d rather have my

arm chopped off and go through that for

any length of time it’s just absolutely

horrifying so my heart goes out to you

Emily and what do you think Doc and what

you can do uh to help that the fastest

way to get rid of a panic attack is to

slow your breathing down

um and breathe through your nose

in and out at the same rate maybe three

or four seconds in three or four seconds

out that will pull just about anyone out

of a panic attack breathe through the

nose

because you’re gonna then restrict the

oxygen and increase the CO2 and balance

it out it takes CO2 to absorb the oxygen

it’s called Uh the bore effect b-o-r-h I

think it’s pronounced uh spelled and

this is why even breathing in a paper

bag will pull someone out of a panic

attack uh because you’re increasing CO2

not O2 versus hyperventilation as you’re

getting too much oxygen and that’s going

to worsen the situation

so um and then if you could find some B1

that’s another a nutritional yeast

that’s another way to to reduce

um

the tendency to get panic attacks and

anxiety you’ll feel much better after

you do that and then you could work on

getting on the right diet to um

um you know keep your mood in check

all right very good well Emily earlier

we had uh Benji who was from Canada from

a nice furniture store I’m going to

recommend he send you a nice sectional

couch to cheer you up Benji so if you

can clam on that request as well that

would be terrific let’s move on

um see Terry you know we’ve gotten so

efficient

um that we’re running out of questions

but here’s another one Sharon from

Facebook I suffer from pre-sleep

dystonia and can’t get into REM sleep

please help what’s that

the first question are you taking any

medications because so many medications

interfere with REM sleep

and so will alcohol so will wine so will

sugar

um

in order to get the Sleep your

mitochondria the energy factories need

to have enough energy as well and so

probably the most beneficial thing you

could do is to start taking the B

complex

the hog B complex and maybe even a trace

mineral which is exactly right what I

recommend for for doing keto but both of

those um those compounds the B vitamins

and the electrolytes will support

um what’s called the Krebs cycle in the

mitochondria which will then

um most likely help you not just with

your sleep

and the REM sleep

but also uh the uh the energy during the

day

however that being said if we want to

get real specifically a very specific

copper is also involved in helping

people to get more REM sleep and um

if you’re deficient in Copper you’ll

have more gray hair you can see right

here

um you’ll have a

more problems with um melanin which is a

skin pigment so if you have a lot of sun

uh you’ll it can deplete your copper or

if you if you exercise intensely as an

athlete especially a high altitude

you’ll be a little low in Copper which

can then affect the Sleep Cycle so

sometimes people have to just take

copper as a supplement for a while until

their sleep is better but also remember

that you need the balance of the other

trace minerals

and even too much zinc without copper

can create a copper imbalance so

um

you need to look up the whole picture

when we talk about copper but it’s

definitely I mean think about even like

pain and inflammation what do people do

who are the copper bracelets they’re

copper

lotions and and for their joints copper

um

involved in little patches around the

body

so copper is a really interesting

element and that can help a lot of

different things all right very good

Anna from YouTube what’s the best way or

dosage of wormwood to treat parasites

wormy stuff or parasites that seems

counterintuitive before or after a meal

morning or night

that’s pretty harsh from the stomach so

you want to take it with meals okay not

an empty stomach and I would just take

whatever’s on the

uh the directions in the back of the

supplement because it comes in different

Doses and um whatever’s recommended

that’s what I would recommend that you

do because I

um there is really no exact dosage

uh for a certain problem it’s something

you’re going to have to test out

um

so but take it with with meals and um

and also be consistent with it and take

it uh maybe for

up to a

four to six weeks

um

but probably not continue to take it

after that it’s not meant for a very

long-term solution it’s a short-term

Quick Fix and then boom

um parasites are gone all right very

good remember audience all these great

things that Dr Berg is sharing with you

most have been

um

immortalized in video and if you want a

quick and easy way to get through it all

get his free that’s right free app for

iOS or YouTube or is that OS I forget

but apple or um boy did I blow that uh

with um Android or Apple software there

you go got it out okay and also I don’t

know if there’s any new developments Dr

Berg and the availability of products

internally which has from time to time

been difficult

yeah we’re now in the Philippines so

that’s good

um and then Steve do you have the um the

the answer for the last quiz questions

I’m glad that you and Terry are on it

quiz question number five asked uh

animal waste is a common ingredient in

animal feed

gathered the data and 100 say it’s true

gross

sorry to tell you that is true data and

they they package it under the uh it’s

called animal byproduct byproducts or

animal protein products ugh and so

anyway this is just another reason to

eat organic

um they’re just finding all different

ways to recycle things and uh yes they

might sterilize it but still I mean

I don’t know if that’s the best source

of protein in the world

but on that wonderful note thank you for

watching stay tuned for more videos and

have a wonderful weekend I’ll talk to

you next week
