thank you

welcome back everyone we’re here with

another show q a and anything that I say

is not meant to cure you

um so just do your own research

um take it with a grain of salt check

with your doctor before implementing any

of the things that we’re gonna discuss

today and let’s just Dive Right In we

got a whole bunch of great guests and as

well as a lot of great questions and

social media so Steve over to you all

right very good well I’m very excited as

I said we’ve got representatives of

beautiful women from all over the globe

a couple here in the United States we’ve

got one Kylie from Down Under in

Australia we have Sabine from Islamabad

Pakistan first for us and poor Kylie I

gave it with the usual oh worn out Trope

did she have shrimp on the barbie and

her eyes rolled a little bit but she put

up with that so since I um teased her

with that why don’t we get her on the

air why don’t you unmute yourself Kylie

and we’ll kick it off with our our

Australian gas cow you’re on the air for

a 30 second or

hi Dr big

hello

um when I do strict keto I develop keto

rash I have had it at least three times

now possibly four it always starts on my

chest

it’s itchy it’s red it works its way up

my neck

um I’m not doing strict keto at the

moment

um but I would like to because I I get

the benefits from doing strict keto I

would like to know could you suggest

something I could do different before

going on strict keto again to prevent it

from happening

so you found when you did strict keto

you got the rash is that correct yes

okay

um have you taken the B vitamins yet

I do have them I don’t take them all the

time

typically that is a vitamin B2

deficiency so what I would recommend is

taking

more of the B2 or the B complex because

that’ll make your the mitochondria do

better and they’ll have um less of those

skin issues and then let’s say for

example you do that and you still have

this problem

um I would

take a look at what foods you’re eating

and anything out of the ordinary that

you normally don’t eat that potentially

could be an allergy or some type of

reaction are you eating anything out of

the ordinary on keto

no I don’t eat anything out of the

ordinary I do restrict myself on

cuddly increase the fats a bit but but

nothing that I can put my mind to that I

eat different

okay and do you um

do you have anything going on with your

digestion constipation or anything like

that

um at the moment I do have a bit of

bathing I must admit

which is unusual for me

do you have any idea what that can come

from or you like have you ever noticed

like wow when I eat this I bloat more

eat carbs I definitely noticed the

bloating

um like I said I’m not

keto at

them so I do not have a rash at the

moment

um yeah okay

yeah the the main reason for the keto

rash is a is a B2 deficiency

um you could probably just get some of

that and start taking it

um as well as you know maybe it’s in the

B complex

um try to find a natural source uh

versus synthetic but that should the

demand for B vitamins does go up a bit

when you’re on keto so let’s say you’re

going into this with a deficiency

already and then it’s kind of magnified

now if someone has a severe

B2 deficiency they had this condition

called pellegra and it definitely is a

severe rash you don’t have that but

there could be some really minor like

subclinical deficiency of B2 which can

which affects the skin so that I would

do that

um as a first thing and um

um and then let me know if that helps

you okay yeah I will try it thank you

you’re welcome all right well thanks so

much for your great um call there Kylie

and uh as with every guest we’d love to

hear back from you folks after uh some

time and see if you found a remedy and

you know how uh your joy of living has

increased with all these great

recommendations so thanks again Kylie

for that now after that cheerful news I

have to give the audience some uh some

not so good news there is no true false

questions today they all there’s so

there’s no rolling of the dice in 50 50

of getting it right so this is going to

require some deep research from our

audience which they’re always willing to

do so why don’t we kick it off with the

first of five very difficult questions

all right so uh which nutrient helps

decrease the need for Sleep the most

all right climb on that folks and let’s

go right over I’ll go ahead did you say

something cool the goal would be to

um sleep the least possible and actually

be rejuvenated you know versus like 10

hours so um there is one

one vitamin that can help you greatly

with

your sleep and so what would that be all

right well I’m in suspense with the rest

of you okay go to social media rashimi

from YouTube what would you recommend

for someone with an acoustic neuroma who

is trying a 21 day fast to treat it is

that too much to ask does that make

sense Don

well um

those neuromas can be usually related to

viral in nature so they can come out

um when you’re under stress

and some people even like surgically

remove neuromas and it’s just so painful

the whole thing but what I would do is

um

how do you keep the virus deep in

remission from from not popping out

keeping the stress low as possible as

far as

amino acids go

L-lysine tends to help put it back in

remission to a certain degree

and also avoiding arginine but what I

would do if I use I would just focus on

keeping your stress down as much as

possible to deal with this neuroma which

is um can be very very uncomfortable

wow well thank you I had never heard of

such a thing uh I have heard of this

Ronnie from YouTube can an inflamed

spleen be helped by Keto

well what’s amazing about keto and going

along with that fasting is that you can

um greatly support the immune system the

immune system does better on ketones but

when you add fast if you were to add

like a 72 hour fast

um you may not know this but you

literally grow a new immune system to a

certain degree so you’re growing

through stem cells you’re really kicking

that immune system in high gear and so

if you combine fasting with

um with keto I think you can greatly

support your immune system to a very

high level

all right very good and here’s a plea

from Anita from YouTube you are my last

and only hope she states due to a

hysterectomy I am now in menopause I’ve

been on a strict keto and Aya for three

years but nothing seems to help with my

high LDL levels

that’s a lot of pressure on me

um but I’ll take it I’ll take it so um

first of all

you should go get an advanced lipid

profile test that measures the particle

size

because there’s two types of LDL there’s

a

there’s a particles that are like large

buoyant and there’s a small dense ones

if you’re doing keto I would bet you

anything that if you did that advanced

profile you would find that the um

that LDL was way more large buoyant just

like my wife she had high LDL on keto

and then we did the advanced profile and

believe it or not it was um

the small dents which are more

pathogenic were very very low and the

large buoyant were very high and so

because

um she’s consuming a bit more fat you’re

going to have more cholesterol that has

to be transported through the body

because the LDL low density lipoproteins

they’re proteins that contain

cholesterol so they’re little shuttles

and if the large ones don’t penetrate

the arteries like the small dense ones

and so as long as you’re avoiding the

carbs and you have high LDL

um

it’s not a big concern and so I have a

if at all from my viewpoint there’s

other indicators you should you should

watch my videos on that well I’m not

going to get in too deeply to that but

just get the advanced lipid profile then

watch my videos on the two different

types of LDL wow well I’m going to

piggyback on that so doc I have heavy

cream in my coffee which I like in my

HDL or my my LDL is a little high is

that so I might be suffering from the

same phenomena right should I get that

test it sounds like it

I think you should because there’s just

a lot of um

false information and incomplete

information when you get into the area

of cholesterol

um

that is um

especially when you’re on Keating keto

um

I don’t want to do a whole seminar but

the point is that you should get the

advanced slipper profile and then get

that data because I to explain it takes

about five minutes and

we don’t really we don’t have that time

for that right now so

um that’s all I’ll I’ll cover on that

topic all right but I’ll bet you’ve got

a video I think this is a perfect segue

into it letting people know that they

can download a Magic app for both IOS

and Android and get all that stuff in a

very organized fashion so make sure you

download that today folks it’s free so

why not

and also free is our great collection of

quiz questions the first of which ask

which nutrient helps decrease the need

for Sleep mostly

and our audience 55 of them uh say it’s

magnesium 15 say it’s vitamin B1 uh 15

say it’s k2d3 and 15 say it’s vitamin E

by the way Terry our producer admonished

me for saying 50 instead of 55 watts and

I challenged him I don’t think they’re

doing the math here I think they didn’t

get too disgusted by that but I read it

correctly this morning and that

hopefully adds up to adds up to 100 do

we have any winners doctor

not this time not this time um but

here’s the thing like B1 does help with

that excessive thinking right excessive

stress that helps you sleep and and

these other vitamins that you said do

help sleep but there’s one specifically

that decreases the need for sleep and

that would be vitamin b12. and so if

someone has like this situation where

they just can’t wake up in the morning

they have to get you know I don’t know

eight nine ten ten hours of sleep and

they’re still not refreshed That’s a

classic B12 deficiency or let’s say um

it takes them until two or three o’clock

before they get tired in the middle of

night that’s the B12 deficiency and you

might even want to if you have jet lag

I’ve talked about vitamin um vitamin D

but B12 is a really good one to take

especially right before bed to reset

that circadian wave because B12 is

intimately involved in the creation of

melatonin so

don’t neglect your B12 if you have sleep

issues and

I mean the goal would be to get it down

so you see you only need four hours of

sleep right and you can be very

productive

all right very good well as in addition

to our wonderful uh lovely ladies from

all over the world in Pakistan and in

Australia here’s the rest of them and I

think Australia will be mentioned again

so we’d like to say good morning to all

spots that will become part of the show

later so thanks everybody from all over

the world for how uh you know tuning in

and getting all this great health and no

not advice whatever it is Council what

can we call it check with your doctor

yeah it’s just information Food For

Thought how about that there we go Food

For Thought So as

sarri has some food for thought from

Facebook if I’m underweight with

autoimmune issues what should my eating

schedule look like

autoimmune you need to do fasting it’s

the most powerful thing to do for as an

anti-inflammatory so if you can do one

meal a day and just make sure it’s

complete and don’t neglect healthy fats

you need a lot of vitamin D

and depending on where your

um

inflammation is or your autoimmune

disease you’d want to you can get more

specifics on like what to take for

example in standard process which is I’m

not affiliated with that company but

it’s it’s really good for autoimmune if

you actually can support let’s say you

have a thyroid problem they have

something called thyrotrophin PMG if you

have an autoimmune with the lungs it’s

called pneumatrophin PMG so um there are

a series of great things out there I’ve

done videos on it that you can take to

support

specific body tissue problems that are

that you have the self-attack from this

autoimmune condition

all right very good uh well let’s see

um let’s go back to YouTube again my

daughter this is Tiffany my daughter and

I bought your k2d3 supplements to help

with our vertigo can both of us use it

even though we have non-alcoholic fatty

livers

especially but see here’s the thing if

you have a fatty liver

it usually takes a little bit more

um

of that vitamin D3 and K2 to work

because um there’s there’s a bit of

biochemistry going on the liver to help

you absorb this um this vitamin D so I

think it’ll definitely help because

vitamin D in general as well as K2 helps

insulin resistance which will then

automatically lower the amount of fat in

the liver so vitamin D is a really good

one for

audience if you’ll stand by our leader

has disappeared for a moment oh wait a

minute

he’s come back so Dr Berg after a brief

break hear your back

did you hear that last part that I said

uh no you we lost about your last 10

seconds once you recap that I just said

that there’s receptors for um for

insulin which is related to insulin

resistance in the liver so when you take

vitamin D it actually will help the

liver get rid of fat a little bit better

wonderful that’s great okay Tiffany uh

you can take that to the bank now the

poor uh audience cannot take their GPA

to the bank it’s been very weak after

that first question so we’re going to

give them a chance for Redemption with

the second question

okay

which tissue in the body is least

affected by high blood

sugar called glucose whatever the brain

the eyes

the kidney or the bones which one of

these tissues is the least affected by

high glucose

okay climb on it audience and we’re not

alone out there there’s a few other

folks that want to uh give a shout out

or we’ll give a shout out to and that’s

you Becca Stan Cameroon Dubai Bosnia

herzego uh Bosnia and Herzegovina excuse

me Finland and Costa Risa so welcome as

well and somewhere in this whole mix of

places people live Lucille from YouTube

says she lost 50 pounds oh from cancer I

was about to ring the bell that’s not a

good thing and I’m now underweight I

gained back five pounds then did omad

for three days and lost it again I

believe fasting is the best thing for

treating cancer but how can I get back

to my normal weight boy is that a great

question

that’s one of those tricky questions

because the more advanced your cancer is

the longer you have to fast

to turn things around if we wait out the

importance of fasting versus keeping

weight on your body

fasting to get rid of cancer outweighs

that greatly so

um personally if I were in your shoes I

would be okay with being extra thin as

long as I was still alive and I was

surviving with this cancer

the the challenge comes in when you’re

already Skin and Bones and you get

cancer what are you going to do now

that’s always a situation I don’t have a

solution for that other than you know

leverage the protocols that we recommend

um so the the point is that um

I would do this these prolonged fasting

to the point where you know the cancer

is greatly under control

then maybe uh go to one meal a day and

um then still do the periodic prolonged

fasting

but be very strict about

your lifestyle the type of food you’re

eating the stress

protocols

um

but

you know don’t worry about the weight

while you’re if you if you’re trying to

handle something like stage four cancer

you know forget about your weight go go

for long-term fasting

because once you fast the body goes into

this fascinating survival mode where

the cancer does shrink and it does

um you things will improve so

it all depends on the severity if it’s a

mild cancer well then maybe you don’t

have to fast as long but it really

depends on what’s going on

well Lucille I think we speak for the

whole audience that our thoughts and

prayers go out to you and we hope that

you kick that thing and I would

certainly love to hear back with some

terrific progress from you so thanks for

touching base and the courage to ask

such questions okay uh and we asked some

questions and the second one of today

was which tissue in the body is at least

affected by high blood sugar the brain

the eyes the kidney or the bones and

audience I’m pulling for you 85 percent

of you said are uh it’s the bones ten

percent say it’s the brain and five

percent say it’s the eyes

four tissues that are primarily affected

by high glucose brain and nerve

heart kidney and eyes

so they require a tremendous amount of

metabolism

energy metabolism and oxygen too so

um if we’re just comparing this those

tissues the bone would definitely be a

lesser of your problems

so

it’s just one more

um

kind of um motivation

to keep your blood glucose low to

salvage those four tissues

all right well on the Lighter Side Laura

from Facebook can nutritional yeast

cause kidney stones

um no I highly doubt it because

um kidney stones are a super

um concentrated calcium and most the

time it’s oxalates in the urine so it’s

a combination of things there is

definitely a genetic propensity to get

kidney stones if you have that then you

need to work harder at preventing them

and drinking if you just sort of drink

two and a half liters of fluid a day

the chances of you getting

stones are are very very small because

you keep the urine diluted and there’s

no way you can actually form these

Stones another thing is to keep your

citrates high as in lemon lemon juice

every morning in your drink as well as

if you had some supplements like

magnesium or potassium citrate because

citrate will help and then of course if

you happen to eat Foods

high in oxalates like in spinach for

example or almonds then make sure you

have the little maybe cheese there to

get the calcium so the calcium will bind

into the gut and prevent this this

oxalate free oxalates to go into the

blood and actually end up in the urine

so there are all sorts of tricks that

you can do to counter kidney stones but

nutritional yeast is is not going to be

at the top of the list of causing kidney

stones all right very good well a

beautiful representative from Islamabad

Pakistan is next on our Show and her

name is Sabine and Sabine if you’ll

unmute yourself you’re on with Dr Berg

for your one question in 30 seconds go

hi Dr Berg

hello

um I have sibo I have seen you a lot of

videos on sibo and I have low bile salts

as well so I’m taking as you said Ginger

and apple cider vinegar and clothes too

but I’m still having that bloating and

things like that digestive issues

mm-hmm so um are you doing keto um

or or not

no not strict keto

um like I do take rice but I’m not on

strict keto okay

assume uh vegetables

yeah I do

pretty good vegetables

so here’s what’s happening a small

intestinal bacterial overgrowth is a

situation where you have bacteria in the

wrong place you have it in the small

intestine not the large so that means

you’re getting fermentation

in the large a small intestine where it

shouldn’t be so fermentation produces

bloating and

um you know what those microbes live on

fiber

okay fiber

um and starch like rice

so yeah I know the price

what um what you’ll have to do in this

I’m sure it’s going to be very easy

in your country because they they don’t

have a lot of sweets there

um avoid sugar rice and I would avoid

fiber for a couple months I would do

more of a carnivore

um maybe eggs or fish and not have

anything else even probiotics because

what you want to do is you don’t want to

contribute to more fermentation

um so maybe do omad one meal a day have

it protein only and then let

starve off the microbes because they’re

competing for your nutrition and that

way the microbes will go through it

wouldn’t hurt to take a bile salt

supplement too because the bile salts

probably a lack of that was the reason

why you got in the first place because

normally you have this bile that acts

like a detergent it keeps the microbes

um

kind of controlled through the small

intestine

so that’s that’s what you should do and

I think that’ll be very successful

okay thank you

you’re welcome that’s great well thank

you Sabine so much and we wish you well

with that and as always hope to hear

back from you with your great success in

getting rid of sibo which sounds awful

so let’s see what should we do here how

about another question Doc and here’s

the next one and the Audience by the way

has redeemed themselves with an 85

percent or last time let’s hope they

keep up the pace

all right so um what are the two factors

when

um

let me see here what are the two factors

when the oh okay yeah

what are the two factors when low can

make you feel bad while fasting

okay I think um

um Terry reworded the question so I was

like that sounds kind of interesting oh

Terror two things yeah

okay but that makes sense what are the

two factors when when low can make you

feel bad while fasting okay I’m gonna

I’m gonna reword that Steve I’m gonna

reword that okay to make it more sense

uh what are the two things that um if

you’re deficient in can make you feel

bad when you’re doing fasting all right

very good thank you for that

clarification doctor an audience you’ve

been fully briefed so there’s no reason

not to get a good percentage

in your answer on that let’s go back to

social media

Lori from YouTube uh what do you

recommend for dermatitis and eczema

eczema excuse me

most of the time there’s something going

on in the gut there’s some inflammation

in the gut

and it’s showing up in your skin it

could also be related to the liver but

um there’s probably some what’s called

dysbiosis some imbalance in your Flora

in your gut so I would look in that area

I would take a probiotic I would take

also a Prebiotic sauerkraut kefir start

working on that vitamin D is important

as well but it’s usually um you may have

a history of antibiotics or some other

type of infection you had in the gut

and so you got to fix that to fix the

skin

all right very good let’s see

um

okay we already talked about that

okay uh taru from Facebook how can I do

vegetarian keto without eating cheese

uh what would be a good substitute is

that that sounds awful

how to do the vegetarian type keto

that’s always very difficult because

um

that relates to the next question and

I’ll talk more about it but the point is

that it’s hard to keep the carbs low

um and also

um but you can do eggs so

um I would do a lot of eggs and

vegetables

um that’s what I would do if I were you

and maybe some nuts

um but of course if you have a problem

with dairy you can’t do that so you know

you’re gonna have to work do a work

around and try some other foods that

that you can have but you’re gonna

definitely have to do a lot of eggs

all right and there’s a lot of folks

that have gone through this and Bettina

is one of them from YouTube is keto good

if you’ve had a gastric bypass

I I think so because you’re dealing with

um probably your goal when you had it is

to lose weight and a lot of people

actually get rid of their diabetes when

they do this

um and what happens is you’re um there’s

two ways that you

um become a diabetic you can do it by

through eating a lot of carbs

or you can do it through a lot of

frequent eating because every time you

eat it triggers something in your small

intestine that causes a spike in insulin

but when they do gastric beat bypass

they tend to remove that or bypass that

and then

that eliminates kind of like it lowers

your your insulin to the point where you

start

um having less diabetic problems and you

lose weight because of that

so um

if you try keto initially probably been

the best thing to do but

now should you go back should you try

keto absolutely because that’ll maintain

those healthy levels of insulin that you

need to get rid of insulin resistance so

yeah it’s perfectly fine the only thing

is that you sometimes um

you know you might need

to take additional supplements like

trace minerals and um

more B12 and vitamin D

because of the altered uh structure now

that we have to cope with that kind of

limits your

absorption of certain nutrients

all right very good let’s go to Facebook

Tim wants to know uh Dr Berg what is it

that inspires you to study the body so

deeply

it’s just a fascinating machine I mean

it’s just it pulls me right in is this

fascinating like like for example when

you

instead of the DNA right you have this

this amazing code

that programs for all these different

proteins and enzymes so you have this

DNA that has to be unzipped well the

thing that unzips it it’s like a little

protein that spins around in the circle

is so fast it’s faster than a jet engine

now that just blows me away I mean

that’s I don’t know how anyone couldn’t

be

so interested in in things like that

um other things like um I just did a

video on

cyanide cyanide poisoning

there’s certain enzymes in your liver

that can dismantle a certain amount of

cyanide if you have those detoxification

enzymes and so cyanide is fat soluble so

the liver basically can take that fat

soluble and turn into a water-soluble

particle that’s not poisonous anymore

and you can get rid of it to the urine

so

I mean there’s this the body is so

fascinating and so mysterious that I

mean it just makes me very interested

and I can study it all day long I don’t

know

um if other people can do that but it’s

interesting and it really increases

the appreciation for eating healthy

because

now you know what the body goes through

and what it what you’re doing when you

eat that donut or that Krispy Kreme

donut makes you probably aren’t going to

eat that Crispy Cream donut anymore

Steve if you uh really understand the

these incredible magical mechanisms that

your body is doing on a regular basis

just to keep you alive well I’m going to

give that some deep thought

um and we’ll steer clear of that right

in place and now we know how Rasputin

pulled it off right with the old Cyanide

and the liver and all that so some

people he must have been observing a

very careful diet let’s see guess what

the audience has come back with an

answer for the third question of the day

again no true false or so they had to

really put on their thinking cap and it

asks what are the two factors when low

or you rephrased it to make you feel bad

while fasting I think they got it and 55

say it’s electrolytes and water is the

culprit 30 say it’s salt and water 10

percent say fat and trace minerals and

five percent uh say potassium so I think

that’s 100 what do we have there doc

yeah you know

everyone’s correct there’s two things

though that um are a bit more magnified

as far as feeling

bad when you’re on doing fasting

one is sea salt

but yes potassium is definitely gonna be

an issue but but sea salt if you’re

deficient you’re going to feel really

weak on keto and the reason I’m even

bringing that up is because it’s a

common thing that people forget about is

that sea salt when they’re doing fasting

because they’re they take supplements

but they don’t realize the sea salt

right it’s like I need that enough of

that so that may just make you feel a

lot better if you don’t feel good when

you’re doing fasting I’m talking about

prolonged fasting the other thing is

protein if you’re already deficient in

protein or you have some atrophy maybe

you’re going through menopause or

whatever and you do long-term fast and

you feel terrible

uh chances are that you’re you just need

more amino acids

um in your body this autophagy is not

providing that for you so in that case

that’s when I would probably recommend

taking like a an amino acid supplement

not actual protein but an amino acid

supplement that has all the balance that

you need to

give you those some those factors that

you need because

we don’t really have a protein

requirement we have an amino acid

requirement and if you take those

without taking too many extra then the

body could just use that to replace the

tissue that it needs to repair and not

convert anything to glucose so I just

wanted to bring that up because um

out of all the macronutrients amino

acids or protein is at the the top of

the list regarding survival

our body will continue to eat protein

until we’re satisfied that’s what we’re

really needing to be satisfied if you’re

eating these fats and carbs without the

protein you will tend to overeat because

you won’t fully be satisfied

so the protein is the key thing and this

is why Steve that I always recommend eat

your salad first before your protein

because you may find that you’re no

longer hungry for the salad so

course

you know I mean

um eating 10 cups of vegetables is not

always the easiest thing to do Steve but

I know

thank goodness that you and your family

do it so that’s that’s absolutely I’m

just have my head in the feed bag with

lettuce all day long in between the

shows so and I also have to apologize to

the audience because our last question

last week we ran out of time I didn’t

get to it and it was why would you eat

your greens before uh you know the rest

of the meal and I think you just

answered that for all of them

um so yeah exactly sorry that we ran out

of time on that but we’re not going to

do it again uh and we’re going to make

sure we get all the questions answered

and Doc here is question number four

okay

if insulin is protective against clogged

arteries which is interesting because it

is

how can hyperinsulate anemia that’s high

blood insulin levels trigger the

formation of clogged arteries

that’s a conundrum

I guess all right audience climb on that

and let’s see you know I think we’re

going to end up with a lot of time for

social media because we love to give

them a lot of love and the reason is

that today’s guests all the ladies from

around the world have been very

efficient in their questions that we’re

getting through and Aaron is our final I

think she’s from Cleveland nod your head

if I said that right she is from

Cleveland and she has got one question

which she’s going to build out in 30

seconds you’re on with Dr Berg uh Erin

thanks for joining us all right thank

you thank you hi Dr Berg

um quick question

um my son two years ago did a Polar

Plunge kind of thing he’s 25 now and he

came out with an incredible rash

um

hives and long story short he they said

he has cold urticaria

and it blew me away because he’s never

been an allergy kid or uh you know

anything so

um I’m scratching my head like what out

how does this happen you know so his is

cold so he suffers you know whether it’s

the cold weather or

um he can’t really eat ice cream or ice

cold drinks

um but after finding your videos

probably a good three months ago and

discovering

um

you um

you have incredible knowledge so I I

wanted to hear any remedies supplements

will this go away

so typically that is a B1 thymine

deficiency

um that vitamin B B1 helps regulate the

temperature

um and so if you can’t tolerate

cold or you react to it or even heat

then

um you need more B1 in fact it’s funny

that you’re bringing up the cold therapy

because I happen to just someone sent me

this book

um

just yesterday

which basically today I’m getting my ice

bath shipped it’s coming I think I just

heard them pulling up so I’m gonna

getting this this outside ice bath that

heats it up to think 36 degrees so I’ll

be doing these ice baths versus the cold

showers

not very pleasurable but um I I just

heard about you know I’ve been the

benefits are incredible so I’m gonna

just do it but I think what he needs to

do is start taking more B1 and then he

needs to do a very small amount and a

very gradual introduction to this cold

so maybe he takes one drink with one

small Ice Cube and he does that for a

period of time until okay less reaction

less reaction and then more and more and

more and more and to the point where he

takes a Luke Luke Luke lukewarm shower

and then gets he just has to go about it

more gradual he doesn’t want to

completely back off but he should do

that once he takes enough B1 in his body

so get a natural thymine and have him

start taking a good amount of it until

that tolerance for cold goes away

and how much would you say Simon

um

I would

you know different different products

and I’m not going to get into Brands but

have different amounts

honestly I would just take whatever

it says of the serving size of the

dosage I would take three times that

okay

thank you that’s great well uh great

luck with that Aaron and thank you and

son you know Dr Berg I love saunas I

take them almost every night at the gym

and I always finish it with a cold

shower in the winter it’s very brisk

otherwise it’s sort of whatever but it

feels like after two sessions of that

it’s like three martinis without the

hangover just feels fabulous it’s

interesting what it does too

um you know

I like to I think I like it just to

remind my body who’s in charge because

if you notice like people like

are like so

um their Viewpoint is like they’re

always oh my poor body I don’t want to I

want to make it always comfortable I

like to kind of stress it out

occasionally and it seems to do better

that way and uh and um

same thing with fasting right it’s like

oh I’m a little hungry I better feed my

body I better nourish my body no your

body’s gonna do better if you just

you know

treat it like you’re in charge and like

I’ll I’ll feed you when I’m ready

and then all of a sudden the hunger goes

I mean hunger goes away and the body

starts

um doing very well so um you don’t you

want to make sure you don’t give your

body too much sympathy it just doesn’t

do well when you do that all right well

Catherine from Facebook’s in a real

pickle constant ringing in my ears for

three days now my ears feel clogged I’ve

tried all the techniques to make it go

away it’s making me anxious uh and I ca

I think she said can’t do fasting

because of hypoglycemia I passed out the

first time I tried it help

I think you need electrolytes for sure

but right now there is an allergy season

type thing going on right now which

there’s a lot of mucus that can go right

into your station tube because this

exact symptom so if that’s the case

seasonal allergies that actually can

cause mucus in the back of the station

tube in the back of the throat then um

there’s a couple things that you should

do stinging nettle is a really good

remedy for allergies uh also um

um bee pollen

is an awesome awesome way to do this and

you want to take um a good amount three

times a day to um

to give you that relief and then

quercetin

which is in onions

so those are the three things for that

but um

in the meantime I know one good remedy

is consuming a lot of radishes radishes

tend to pull mucus from deeper parts of

the body and especially if you have

mucus in the back of the throat or the

station tube that’s leaking into the

your ear space so

um that’s what I would do I think it’s

related to an allergy

all right very good Genie from YouTube

wants to know what is the blood sugar

level that tells us we are now a

diabetic

well it’s usually

um like about 126

milligrams per deciliter that’s when you

become a diabetic so normal blood sugar

is below 99 but I think it should be

like 80. and then when it gets to 126

you are now officially a diabetic right

now if you look at A1C that’s like a

little different number that’s 6.4 and

what does that mean 6.4 that means

how

um how much the protein in your blood

the red blood cell the hemoglobin is um

damaged from the sugar from being

exposed to the sugar they call that

glycation so it’s glycated protein and

so you can determine what your blood

sugars are

by how much glycation you have and then

6.4 is considered a diabetic now when

your glycation goes up

that number A1C goes up to like a nine

it’s pretty I mean now you’re starting

to get a lot of complications with your

eye with your kidneys with your arteries

and

you know if it’s if it’s a nine your

blood sugar probably is around like 212

so it’s pretty high

so in these situations you know once you

educate a person like what this means

you know it’s very obvious what you need

to do you need to cut out the sugar and

if the sugar is still high you need to

follow my video on insulin resistance

and how to correct that with the apple

cider vinegar or berberine vitamin D

etc etc

um but um

yeah so that’s that’s what it is and

then um the cool thing is you can

reverse it if you change your diet and

you don’t eat so frequently

but um

I hope that answers your question very

good Sonya have we had you on

if we had Sonya on no I don’t think we

have from uh Sonya can you hear us

let’s see we’re having a little problem

I think Sonya just popped up see I see

her she doesn’t look to be muted no uh

Sonia can you hear us we’re not going to

give up on you yet Sonya so uh if you

can hear us try to unmute yourself or

wave or do something in the meantime

here’s reigning vampire Champion is the

name he has what were his parents

thinking uh from YouTube my mom was on

chemo what supplements should she take

to help her recover from it

when you’re in chemo

um

you want to protect the cells against

this chemo and there’s a lot of things

you can do one is fasting it

automatically kind of strengthens your

cells but also a lot of the um things

that are antioxidants like um

sulforaphane would be a good one

um curcumin is another good one

um consuming cruciferous vegetables is

something else that I would highly

recommend

um alpha lipoic acid would be another

one I mean you can just go right down

the list vitamin C vitamin E all these

are really good

um but what another thing you could do

is to take that methylene blue which is

um

Dynamite as far as a remedy to help

protect the mitochondria and also to get

to kind of bypass the damage especially

if you’re taking chemo for cancer

all right very good question number four

was also answered and I’m pulling for

your audience and it was a long question

if insulin is protective against clogged

arteries arteries then how can hypo

insulimia if I said that right or rather

high blood insulin trigger the formation

of clogged arteries and that is an

interesting question the audience

addressed it as follows 80 percent say

respondents say it’s because the calcium

in the blood and 20 percent say it’s

because the blood is sticky I don’t know

if that’s a medical term

um so um so what do you think dot

the reason I keep asking this question a

lot over and over because I want people

to really understand it’s an important

question when you have this High insulin

because it because you’re eating a lot

of sugar

it creates a lot of problems and it

creates a lot of problems because you

develop resistance to insulin

which means

the higher the insulin goes in the blood

the less you can absorb in the cells

and we have all these wonderful things

that insulin does

but not when you start having insulin

resistance and then you can’t get it in

the cells so it’s kind of an interesting

dilemma of how do we get insulin into

the cells to get the benefit of insulin

without getting all the side effects

well

you have to have normal amounts and the

way to do that is to not snack so much

and not eat so many carbs

so the minute that insulin goes high now

you start becoming deficient in insulin

it’s kind of one of those oxymorons that

uh very counterintuitive but

um

it’s kind of like

yelling at

the more you let yell out your spouse to

try to communicate the less that that

person will listen to you wouldn’t you

agree Steve uh I wouldn’t dare try such

an experiment she’s Italian do I have to

say anymore

right now you don’t stand anymore okay

very good uh well we got one she might

start developing resistance to your

communication yeah sure well she can

shut me right off actually I’m a

chatterbox As You Can Tell She’s The

Quiet One in the home it’s interesting

she just gives Yes dear to all my

utterings okay so here’s our final

question and I am just for what it’s

worth I’m pulling for the red onions

here it is

okay

which color of onion fights allergies

better yellow or red onion

come on and that’s also purple right in

the red that’s what you that’s what that

is right yeah right yeah so I love those

um but we’re talking about relating to

allergies okay and quercetin

okay very good now let’s see

um

okay right from Facebook what are the

benefits of Kombucha

tea I guess

you got to be careful because a lot of

times the kombucha has a lot of sugar in

it but there is a lot of benefits you

have a good amount of lactic acid in

there which is um actually beneficial to

your own digestive system it helps

digestion and there’s a really kind of a

cool effect of feeling calmer I

recommend Kombucha tea for those people

who are trying to get off alcohol

because it does have a similar texture

to

an alcoholic beverage like beer

but without too much alcohol I mean

there’s a tiny tiny bit but it does make

you calm and it gives you the sensation

the pleasurable Sensation that you would

get if you’re drunk no when just when

you actually kind of um it just makes

you feel calm and uh so if you’re trying

to get off that you know do a substitute

put it in a little wine glass and then

sip that and see if that doesn’t help

you

um but it’s good for digestion

okay well I’m going to start an IV of

that it sounds lovely see what happens

okay can you believe it that uh quiz

question number five was answered that

quickly uh and of course it asks which

color of onion fights allergies better

yellow or red

and the audience 92 percent of the

respondents say it’s red yay that’s what

I said an eight percent say it’s yellow

come on red

yellow

oh yeah I mean I mean

okay so it’s not by a major amount but

it is higher so the yellow yellow onions

would be just a little bit better than

the red onions well I’m with the

audience in our Fall From Grace 92

percent of us maybe I make 93 have it

wrong but I’m going to continue to enjoy

them on my salads I just love that uh

let’s see so we we couldn’t get

um our gas back she dropped off again so

it’s going to be an absolute uh social

media Marathon for the rest of the hour

and they deserve it they they contribute

so much to the show so let’s see

um

okay we talked about the ringing in my

ears let’s see oh here we go

Terry fed me one up Rose from Facebook

how much

folic acid should we have per day

um as far as the pro this is the thing

I’m still doing some interesting

research on DNA

um and I am finding a lot of people

have a problem with folic acid they have

a meth it’s called methylation Problem

methylation means you’re combining

something to something else to help it

work better and it’s called a methyl

group and so detox better to make things

make you healthier

and so

how much does someone should they follow

the simple the RDA which I don’t have

memorized

um I don’t know what it is but I I would

say this

um

watch my video on

this methylation problem and if you have

some of the symptoms that potentially

could be related to a genetic problem

with methylation then you need

a lot more

um

folate but not in the form of folic acid

this is called this is B9 by the way you

need it in the form of folate dark leafy

green vegetables that’s the best thing

and then also

um the type of product you need is

something called methyl folate because

your problem it just doesn’t get

absorbed that well

so it’s just been very interesting

looking looking at DNA because

I see a lot of pre problems with people

with vitamin D absorption vitamin C B12

folate

and even choline so this is fascinating

so when you

take the normal rdas

and especially if it’s in a synthetic

form it’s not enough

so if you

consume the right foods like dark leafy

greens you’re going to get a really good

amount of vitamin C and folate if you

consume animal products grass-fed you’re

going to have a good amount of the right

kind of B12

and so

so I hope that answered that question to

a sufficient amount well I hope we can

answer Sonia’s question because she

popped back up can you hear us Sonia

oh dear well Sonya hopefully next week

or something why don’t you type this

question I don’t think she can even hear

us poor thing uh but anyway so off we go

to

um

social media again

let’s see Ben from YouTube my mom has

tennis elbow out and is getting numbness

in her hands please share any solutions

you might have

B6

B6 uh is great for that but the other

thing too if the tennis elbow is on the

right side

uh suspect uh gallbladder

um and I have videos on that

um I know it sounds wild but I have seen

some really good results by supporting

that and supporting the right elbow

another thing you can do

especially if it’s coming from playing

tennis is um wherever it hurts on that

elbow usually it’s going to be on the

inside of the elbow you can do massage

on the outside of the right elbow and

also on the inside of the left elbow do

the opposite massage technique and you

can watch my video on that it’s one of

those little tricks that creates a

really cool miracle for

the tendonitis first is what most people

do is they wear a brace and they put ice

on it which never really does anything

yeah that can really last okay so

um

Maggie from Facebook please share your

thoughts on treating AFib

I would beef up on your electrolytes

especially potassium and manganese I’m

sorry a magnesium I would consume a lot

of those minerals some over a period of

time sometimes it takes a while but the

pacemaker of the heart is dependent on

these electrolytes and if you don’t have

enough of them which most people don’t

most people don’t consume enough

magnesium and let alone potassium for

sure where do you get these two minerals

primarily from well large huge salads

um you know roughly to the areas of or

seven to ten cups or if you’re doing

actual vegetables it’s going to be like

half that but the point is that

with the average person consuming only

one and a half cups of vegetables so

they’re not getting near enough of these

minerals so magnesium is a very common

deficiency and definitely potassium

because you need like 4 700 milligrams

so

um if you get that get the right amounts

I think it can greatly help the

pacemaker of the heart go back you know

people don’t pay attention to

um electrolytes enough especially as it

relates to arrhythmias

um

so instead you start taking a medication

from arrhythmia

or some other thing but what about

electrolytes why not just try that first

a lot of times that’s very successful if

someone is an athlete like a top level

athlete and they’re doing Biking For

example

um they can develop a different type of

arrhythmia where the heart becomes so

strong it becomes a little bit bigger

and now those pacemakers because you

have a few different pacemakers don’t

line up and that can create arrhythmias

as well so that’s just another

another problem if you over train or get

too much you’re in too much in shape you

start developing this problem which is

kind of um

common for people doing high level

biking

okay well by the way the audience

probably knows that Terry our producer

has an extensive background in broadcast

um journalism he’s also an expert in

medical science and he said that for the

woman who has tennis elbow he recommends

that she quit playing tennis

so um so thank you Terry

um I don’t know how that eluded us but

that should work very well okay VGA from

YouTube is beet juice good for high

blood pressure

um they say it’s good

because of nitric oxide but there’s some

new information

um by by this author Mark Sloan who

wrote the book methylene blue on nitric

oxide you should you should get that

book to read up on it there’s some

conflicting information

um that I’m not going to get into in

this video but

I wouldn’t kind of go crazy at drinking

a lot of beet juice to lower your blood

pressure

um what I would do is consume vegetables

in general to increase your potassium

and then also take vitamin D which are

two things that

are just like a no-brainer with blood

pressure and of course the other thing

too is to avoid the stiffening of the

arteries which will automatically lower

your blood pressure you you get off

carbs

um apparently the thickness of your

arteries

um are they can grow real fast if you’re

doing carbs and so if you have the

coronary arteries or the carotid

arteries through the neck

starting to become thicker because

you’re doing a lot of carbs then that is

a problem so

that’s what we’re trying to the whole

goal is to make sure you have arteries

that can give your brain oxygen right

that would be or your heart oxygen

that’s a good thing

so cut out the carbs

all right very good well guess what time

it is Dr Berg

well you know I

I was just waiting for that one last

question but you know what I think we’ve

answered a lot of questions I appreciate

everyone listening this far well done

thank you so much stay tuned next week

we’ll do the same thing and I have some

some additional very interesting videos

coming up I think you’ll you’ll like as

well so have a wonderful weekend and

we’ll see you next time

[Music]

thank you
