We are back with another Q&A anything that I say is not meant to bypass your medical program or diagnose you just check with your doc before Implementing any of the suggestions Let's get through many as many questions as we possibly can Steve We're gonna do a record setting today. Let's start off with our old friend say now 10 from rumble What are your thoughts about diseases caused by nutritional diseases or exposure to toxins like heavy metals? What would you recommend to treat those disorders? Well, are we talking about not nutritional efficiencies just heavy metals right well let's stick with that. Yeah Because you're right like you have Like even if someone's consuming brown rice they're gonna get exposure to cadmium or you're you're gonna have certain lead exposure Even in natural soils you're gonna get that exposure so our bodies have a natural
ability to get rid of these heavy metals through the detoxifying mechanisms and yes Unfortunately, you cannot escape the Swimming in the soup of chemicals especially heavy metals. So I really think the solution Needs to be yes, do you know get a water filter for sure Avoid these chemicals in all in any shape wear form, but I think by beefing up your Your detoxification enzymes Your pathways that's gonna be the ultimate solution now. How do you do that? every single biochemical reaction requires Help from some nutrient whether it's magnesium, zinc, sulfur or even some proteins So this means that you need to have sufficient. It's really hard to do it on a balanced diet So one way is to make you know take additional supplements make sure you have enough B vitamins make sure you're having enough
Trace minerals make sure you have enough vitamin D make sure you have enough magnesium make sure you have enough Any oxidants to be able to counter The effects of the insult from heavy metals and toxins There's a great test called a it's a metabolic test that you can visualize What's happening to your mitochondria or these different biochemical reactions and they're looking at? You know from one part when you want your spring break to feel like And your kids pool day to feel like And your hotel bed to feel like Oh and room service to feel like Because at Hilton hospitality feels like your cabana is ready. Would you like fresh towels? It matters where you stay Book now at hilton.com Hilton for this day
One one step to another and you can indirectly see bottle necks and so I really like the concept of well just Increase more nutrition to push that chemo chemo correction through to make sure it happens Versus trying to do detoxes and live in a bubble. That's really really hard All right, very good good questions say now. I was glad to hear from you urban viscous viscous from rumble What's the best way to relieve stress before measuring your blood pressure? Long walks in nature or in the woods Even the pine trees give off these certain volatile chemicals that actually help you lower stress So I think that would be the best immediate way to reduce your stress You know the other thing long term is to start taking that Elruderite Probotic that I talk about you can make it from half and half you start doing a half a cup of that that really lowers your cortisol
So Yeah, that's sort of recommend all right very good Gordy from YouTube would Nato canace did I say Nato kinase honey? Yeah, Nato kinase. Thank you help my Miriners disease because it's supposedly good for circulation. Hope I said that right Minera's disease which I don't know if that would be the best remedy for that you can try it Nato kinase is mainly to help dissolve clots and thin the blood It's it's great for A lot of different things I don't know I have never tested it out But the exciting thing and I'm not going to release it yet or even talk about it But there is something coming down the pike That's going to really solve a lot of these Questions that people are asking because You know, how do you find out? What is the best remedy for minera's disease versus something else?
There's there's going to be an answer for that. That's exciting Michelle from YouTube Which supplements which help resolve issues related to menopause good old menopause symptoms and fatigue Couple things happen when you go to menopause You have this shift away from the ovaries the ovaries go in retirement And then you have this backup system and the adrenals now you're going to be making your hormones for the adrenals more than the ovaries. So A lot of times if you're going in the menopause already stressed Then things tend to get even worse stress-wise. So To build up those hormones you have to make sure you have enough raw material and those hormones are made from cholesterol So don't go in a low fat diet have enough fat This episode is brought to you by peloton Break through the busiest time of year with the brand new peloton cross-training tread plus powered by peloton IQ with real-time guidance and endless ways to move

I've talked about this a million times But that way you can support that transition to minimize the Symptoms that a lot of women get when they go through menopause Okay, let's go to Jacqueline from youtube and we're sorry to hear that her mom had a stroke in March and it affected her speech functions What oxygen therapy helper what measures should we consider to help her recover from that? Yes, yes, yes highly recommend doing Either hyperbaric or they just have oxygen therapy
There's something I'm gonna release a video on a training Program that will actually it drops your oxygen And then it raises it up as you work out and that might be too much for you But I'm going to get the unit myself and start doing it With an actual machine which is really interesting because it really will flood the body With more oxygen, but yes, that's what you want to do you want to I think hyperbaric would be the best thing for you So you can saturate the body with more O2 now. How do you Get more oxygen in the body if you don't have a hyperbaric chamber Well exercise a lot of exercise consistently every day Get get more of that coming into the body that's going to counter Uh the damage done Right sounds like some realistic remedies their channel for Lynn from rumble my family loves your cod liver oil supplements Very much do you have any idea when they will be available again?
Uh, if I'm not mistaken. I think the beginning of July it's coming down. It's like it It basically Boy when you run out of that it's not that you can just make it you have to um create it from actual Codfish and that does take some time so hang in there little it'll definitely be coming down the pike really soon I'm excited about it because that's what I That's what I want to as well. That's Cod liver oil is one of the best best things for your omega-3 fatty acid profile Okay, now I'm jealous and I haven't even been taking it so I'll make sure I get someone who comes back to Tungroll from youtube. I want to start taking creatine but I have a non-alcoholic fatty liver is still okay to take creatine Well, that blows liver up. Yeah. Yeah, that's not gonna interfere with it one of the best most powerful ways To um deal with the fatty liver is going on a low carb diet
um It's the I mean within a couple weeks So you definitely need among everything else need to reduce your carbs This episode is brought to you by Indeed Stop waiting around for the perfect candidate instead use indeed sponsor jobs to find the right people with the right skills Fast it's a simple way to make sure your listing is the first candidate see According to indeed data sponsor jobs have four times more applicants than non-sponsored jobs So go build your dream team today with indeed get a $75 sponsor job credit at indeed.com slash podcast terms and conditions apply um So I think it's a good time to talk about that because um One of the there's so many things um Or lies that we've been told and out of all the lies You know that's saturated that is bad that red meat will cause cancer That you're gonna be better off doing a low calorie diet the one that at the very top of the list is that
We need more carbs our bodies run in more carbs carbs is central Our brain prefers glucose as a primary fuel I mean the the challenge with that is the food pyramid or the dietary guidelines Are like 65% carbs in a lot of in the form of grains And so this idea that even whole grains are healthy It's part of the carb thing well when you think about whole grain just convert that to sugar because that's really what you're talking about um If you were to ask me what's the most powerful simple thing To remove at least 80% of chronic disease if not eight All of chronic disease it'd be reducing your carbohydrate levels. There's nothing else more powerful than that and This is why When they're creating these new new food guidelines coming up hopefully really soon Uh, they need to have an option not a mandate but an option
For the general public of doing low carb and there's several important reasons for that number one um The general population has chronic disease like 80% of the general population has at least one chronic disease um At least one So that makes it very important to add that option and you might say well, I don't really follow that anyway But then the entire school system public school system nursing homes the hospitals the prisons the military um I'll follow this This dogma or this um this food these food guidelines And not only that um if we don't have that option in the dietary food guidelines if it's left out Then certain doctors get penalizing for recommending it. That's true like there are certain doctors that got penalized When they started recommending something that is not the gold standard or something that's not
Part of that dietary food guidelines not not to mention The dietitians So we we better add that into this mix. It's so important because if we don't now we're gonna um It affects everyone indirectly or directly and especially the doctors they should have the option to Recommend something that is thoroughly Research and it's definitely credible. There's overwhelming research that low One sweet melty bite of a Hershey's bar and suddenly i'm right back sitting on the front porch with my grandmother on a slow Summer afternoon she doesn't say much just breaks the bar and half and hands me a piece I open my mouth to say whatever a nine-year-old wants to say and she replies with a low Listen So we sat there Listening That was the first time I learned that quiet can feel full Hershey's it's your happy place Barb um can reverse chronic disease more than any other diet
Well the powerful fruit loot lobby added again, and here's our first quiz question for the day doc Okay true false collagen In topical skined lotions or creams can penetrate the skin All right true false audience. Let's go to Let's see our friend is a hilarious Handle here straight bro from youtube could excess iron levels impact testicle health Heck yeah Yes, it'll shut down your testosterone probably faster than anything um One way to Indirect way to know that you're too much iron is just Donate your blood Let's see how you feel if you start feeling good then then you got too much iron be careful of Cooking in iron skillets Do not take any iron supplements Um iron is one thing that our body is no way to get rid of it It feeds pathogens it'll increase the growth of

But we want to pay tribute to everybody around the world Not just here in North Carolina where I am Okay, Sandra from YouTube. What's the best remedy for hot flashes? I like to start out using We're recommending A high quality vitamin E Like tokatrinals And sometimes that'll work But not all the time. Sometimes you have to add iodine To make it work And so these are I have a whole list of things I've done videos about You know try this first Try that because it's a really it's not You can't solve that problem just with one thing for everyone. It's a little bit different. So But there is solutions Um And I think you want to do a natural solution Exema Is unpredictable But you can flare less with epglyss A once monthly treatment for moderate to severe exema
After an initial four-month or longer dosing phase About four and ten people taking epglyss Achieved itch relief and glare are almost glare skin at 16 weeks And most of those people maintain skin that's still more glare at one year with monthly dosing Epglyss, LibriKizumap, LBKZ A 250 milligram per two milliliter injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe exema Also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin Or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies Epglyss can be used with or without topical corticosteroids Don't use if you're allergic to epglyss A allergic reactions can occur that can be severe Eye problems can occur Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with epglyss Before starting epglyss, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection Ask a doctor about epglyss and visit epglyss.lili.com or call 1-800-LiliRX Or 1-800-545-5979 And see what works best for you Okay, very good. I'm going to go to our first guest, Larissa In just a minute after we answer quiz question
Number one, which asked a true false collagen and topical skin lotions can penetrate the skin And 80% of respondents say that it's false and 20% say it's true. What's the answer, doc? It's false The molecules of collagen do not penetrate the skin It's it's not going to influence your collagen It's more of a marketing thing. So yeah, no, unfortunately not Just as a side note what what can penetrate the skin all three layers of skin Is castor oil, which is interesting. That's why it's so hydrating. It's why it's good for wrinkles But not collagen Interesting. Okay, let's go to Larissa who's calling in from Las Gatos in California. Go ahead with your one question Larissa Hi, Dr. Berg. Do you hear me? Hello. Yes, perfectly Okay, first of all, thank you for accepting me for your Q&A
Um, so the story is I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's many years ago And past four years I spent work with four different functional doctors and different protocols Focusing on gut health insulin resistance and weight loss Um, I tried different fasting protocols Like one day a week fasting three days consecutive fasting and five days Try to lose weight. I was temporary lose some pounds, but then gain them back As soon as it's just water weight My weight still the same for all these years and my question is Do you recommend water-facing for people with Hashimoto and What schedule would you advise to use? So there's there's a lot of things that could be done
That's one thing The other one that I would recommend because we're dealing with an autoimmune is to Increase your vitamin D levels to the point where maybe You get your blood levels close to 90 or maybe even up 100 That would take about 30 or 40 or 50,000 I use per day with the magnesium And the K2 and the zinc Because what we want to do is we want to help stabilize your immune system Because that's what Hashimoto's is. It's an immune problem even more than a thyroid problem So another thing that can help your immune system is by taking Selenium Selenium is really good for the conversion from T4 to T3 and I know what you're up against because when the thyroid is low It's really hard to lose weight Now with your question with the fasting if you do a three-day fast once a month
That is going to severely improve or greatly improve your immune stem cells Which will then help your immune system we're back to the immune system But they might interfere They might actually mess with your thyroid a little bit because your body has to Adjust to this no eating and it's the thyroid is all about metabolism But still I would do it once a month as one of the things I would do in addition to vitamin D and low carb and healing your gut With that Selenium. I think that's that would put you in the best place to You know Put that Disease into remission which by the way Hashimoto's is the number one problem right now With that with a medical condition More than any even more than heart disease So you're not I'm actually taking all this vitamins including Selenium with Maya anacetyl I'm taking your right. I mean G with K2
10 10,000 K. I mean 10,000 UI I was taking 20 and my number on the blood test raised to 135 and my doctor said oh you need to reduce it you need to reduce it. So I think it might be a really good idea To seek out One of Dr. Coimbrae from Brazil's associates to work with them because When you're dealing with a typical doc with vitamin D3 They don't really understand the vitamin D resistance that a lot of people have and You want a doctor that can check your parathyroid hormone. You want a doctor that can look at your calcium levels You want a doctor that can really make sure that that vitamin D is penetrating inside the tissues because When you're looking at the blood you're not looking at what's happening deep in the cells Uh a lot of people that have autoimmune diseases
Um have genetic weaknesses for an autoimmune disease And so Parallel with that it's kind of like the perfect storm of we have a genetic problem plus low vitamin D plus gut damage So if we don't If you're if you were dealing with this we want to actually put this fire out Um, we need to um, we can't correct your genetics, but we can actually override it by more vitamin D but making sure that you're safe Um, the other thing is that um Um When you have uh gut damage That's another barrier for from absorbing vitamin D because if that that's where you absorb most of vitamin D is in your gut So if that's going on then here you are taking it, but it's not really working and so I wouldn't be discouraged just because your vitamin D Goes high you want to really uh look at these other factors to make sure you're getting enough um and watch My video and Hashimoto's when I talked with Dr. Demetri in that protocol you may benefit from
That uh metabolic metabolic testing because When you get really complex when you plateau then we need to kind of get more Help from someone that is really specializes in Hashimoto's and it can help you That's great. Well, thank you so much for rooting for you at Larissa And we appreciate you taking your time to come on the air and Larissa We got another question which we want you to contemplate to and doc here it is Okay, trifus most fungal infections in and on your body come from the fungus and mold you get in your diet Like you know if you're eating some cheese there's always some probably some mold on that so um is that trifus? Well, I know it's yucky So go from there. All right. Let's go back to social media and see what they have to say uh a Well, here's a sincere. Thank you. Jessica and rumble for becoming a monthly supporter today good for you Do you have any word about how the benefits of being a monthly supporter? Is that a
That's neat or what do we have to say about that doc? You know, I'm curious what a monthly supporter actually is. I don't know what that means. Oh wow Well, it's exciting. There's a surprise for you too. So Terry. I'm sure we'll um decode that at some point Anyway, thank you just Josiah. I'm sorry. I said her name wrong. Josiah on rumble for becoming whatever that is. All right Miriam from youtube can taking birth control pills stall weight loss if so Where is there a natural workaround from birth control pills Yes, it can affect Not just your ability to lose weight but can affect a lot of other issues and fortunately There's I did a video on this and there's um several things you can get a device that looks at your saliva And there's a certain type of Pattern you can look up to the light and it turns into this urn Pattern which will kind of tell you when you're ovulating and there's you have that um, but you know I would just use other protective measures because
The birth control pill comes with a package. There's a lot of issues with that Don't recommend it. I'd find some other way birth control pill that doesn't involve That manipulation with estrogen All right, very good and let's hear from our friend against a big farmer from rumble What do you think about raw food only diet and he speaks of raw meat raw dairy egg yolks and seafood would you ever consider such a thing? well Um I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying that I I wouldn't do it um Myself, but some people love it and it's helped them. I would test it out See how you do. I do know that um when you cook Food sometimes it's easier to digest especially for talking about vegetables as well But also when you're having egg eggs raw You will eventually become deficient in biotin believe it or not So there's some
Benefits to cooking certain things but also having something rare too is is also beneficial So I would I don't think I have too much of an opinion if it works for you. Great um I'm not telling you not to do it. I just don't have enough Experience personally to tell you if I would go that way or not All right, well good luck with that Need people to try to pursue a healthy life however they go about it and we pursued getting answers out of quiz question number two Which asks true false most fungal infections in Your body come from the fungus and mold that you get in your diet like cheese as you mentioned And 55% are responded and say it's false and 45% say it's absolutely true pretty close Yeah No, that's not how you get a fungus on your body. I'm talking about like a white tongue chronic calatosis jockage tonal fungus Some fungus on your scalp Candida
Some other systemic fungal or infection that you have in the body Or even a chronic sinus Issue is more mold issue in your sonuses Or or some fungus fungal infection the way you get that is not by consuming mold the way you get it Is by destroying your microbiome think about it in your gut you have mostly bacteria But you also have a certain amount of fungus mold yeast Candida that is not bothering you It's kept in check by the police officers or the bacteria As soon as you wipe out the bacteria and that's what antibiotics do they only kill the bacteria They don't mess with the fungus is another microbes Guess what you just took away That thing that keeps them in check and now they can overgrow and they start to take over So there's several ways to kill off microbes that even go beyond just antibiotics
steroids That's a big one That's it mess me about it took steroids every every year for I don't know how many years from poison I be and I end up with all sorts of you know yeast and issues so That's really where it comes from and so If I'm not mistaken Steve Before I say anything else There might be another question that relates to this is that true Well, let's look Oh, yeah, it certainly is coming up now because I I always give the answer to the next following question. So I'm gonna stop Steve I hear nothing. Please disregard the latest testimony from doctor and why don't we just go and put it up there we go All right the best antidote to Candida fungal infections chronic sinus Which is fungal is fill in the blank Okay, there's your chance audience to challenge the doctor on his opinions e from facebook
How do we deal with endometriosis my daughter recently had surgery for duper thing and we want to know how to keep her Inflammation low understand as an awful condition It's the exact same remedy that you would use for fibroids And that would be High doses of vitamin D3 Okay, there's so I did a whole video on this. It's fascinating There's something very unique about the tissue And endometriosis and about the tissue in fibroids That have to do with a vitamin D problem. So you want to beef that up 2030 40 Thousand I use the vitamin D3 with the magnesium and zinc and cofactors other cofactors and take that For a period of time until that problem goes away now in addition to What I just recommend that would also clean up the diet make sure you're not doing high carbohydrate go low carb do organic um
If you're using a tampon make sure it's a hundred percent organic cotton Because there's chemicals and the other ones. So these are all things that I think I would really help you and this is Steve this is the problem uh when you're looking for solutions like this that Really work Where do you I mean do you search it do you ask chat to be tea unfortunately chat to be tea only searches through the internet and starts looking for Whatever one else is doing with but the majority of people do not know these suppressed remedies And they're suppressed for various reasons, but um this is this relates to A program that I'm working on right now, which is going to be very exciting To solve that problem. All right, we're all pulling for your daughter because I know that's uncomfortable And Shannon and I share a common question Shannon asked from Facebook. Is it possible to fix a high it'll hernia without surgery
I have a pretty big one too. What do you think doc? I don't know I don't know. I I just don't know But I think a couple things That you might want to do is just understand the mechanism of connective tissue in collagen and fascia Maybe you have a weakness there because you don't have enough collagen in the diet Or you don't have the cofactors to help make that collagen strong so Especially as we age we lose the collagen so we so get a good collagen Supplement that has a wide range of different types of collagen and then make sure you get the cofactors like be vitamins Vitamin C Trace minerals and see if that can potentially help you um I will say that Yeah, some people do stem cell some people do
Fasting to improve some of the The connective tissue issues. So these are all things you can try but um, you know You may need to get surgery for that. I don't know so Shannon if I might my gastroenterologist said he wouldn't do it for a million years Because he said it really closes about so much you can't belch and you build up all sorts of gas and there's all sorts of Secondary issues whether so he said just deal with it and chew a lot But I will say this Steve um working on um Also your digestive system your stomach make sure that stomach is really acid with Patine had a chloride and then do the Manual and I think I did a video on this I showed you how to manually kind of do some Pressure points and massage that area underneath your Your diaphragm can go a long way To help give you relief So watch that video All right Shannon both you and I have our homework set up for us. Okay quiz question number three Uh, ask the best antidote for Candida fungal infection chronic sinus fungal is drum roll please
The audience 35% of them say it's close 25% say it's probiotics 20% say a regina oil 10% say L root-aried bacteria And the final 10% sent say a low carb diet which can't hurt anybody. What do you think doc? What was the first thing you said The first thing was clove Clove okay, yeah, well, you know you you're all correct for sure. It's gonna greatly help but there's one Thing that actually is even stronger and more powerful And that would be starvation star Starved the these You see these You have the category of fungus and then underneath that you have Yeast which are single cell you know little microbes and then mold is like Several cells connected together, but they're all in the family of fungus and they all depend on sugar in refined carbs
so If you just cut out all the sugar Maybe go carnivore but you just bring that sugar and starch down to zero Then you literally starve off those Those fungus creatures So that's like a real simple way to do it and then if you add these other things to it Then it's it's gonna go away But so many people are taking these Different remedies and they're taking medication on top of a too many carbs. So they keep them fed So you have to starve them off as you Receive the bacteria in there to kind of build up that population through you know sour crowd things like that Okay, which begs the question. I guess you're talking about fast you know as well I did one five day fast and you know survived and liked all that how often should a person do any length of fast in a year whether it's You know 48 hours or five days or any recommendation well. I really think everyone should be doing Intermittent fasting for for 18 hours minimum
Okay, that should be for everyone But I think once a month if you did a three-day fast you would literally Bulletproof yourself against cancer because You there's so many different things that happen when you do That prolonged fast for your immune system and to deal with cancer. It's just it's crazy And then if you just add like Get your vitamin D levels to like 90 nanograms from a later. I think uh boy that you just put your You just completely come out of that cancer risk Area or that zone But yeah, that's what I would I would recommend all right. Well, I'm gonna commit to that right now because I had fun doing it all right Let's see Soto Lewis from YouTube my friend has been diagnosed with low-grade ovarian cancer What natural approaches should she consider for her condition? Thank you very much Yeah, I think um
I was just looking at this too and there are um Unfortunately Oh with ovarian cancer a lot of times it's related to estrogen type Disruptors endocrine disruptors which are estrogen disruptors um You have so many things in the environment that will Act like estrogen can all these chemicals. So you you want to reduce those triggers as well um But I think um The best thing if you to prevent or even deal with cancers do an immediate long prolong fast Just to kind of like starve off and not give the cancer any resources and then start consuming super healthy foods like crucifers that can then put you in pretty good place But I would watch my videos and cancer um and also it's it's like You you can't just do one thing you have to do a multi-tier um attack over this because
Uh, just just when you plug that hole or that bucket or that hole in the buckets Cancer found another way to create to live and survive So you really have to hit it from all angles All right, that's some worthy research for sure. Terry from Facebook. Do you have any advice for preventing further episodes of diverticulitis? Well, I think that the the biggest advice is when you're doing with inflammation anywhere in the gut um, the best thing to do is start to read Bylimination reduce a lot of things that can mess that up and create inflammation the grains Gluten or at the top of the list, right? So get rid of grains, but but also you might want to go carnivore for a period of time to Eliminate a lot of things that can irritate the gut lining There is some Also some additional things that can help heal the gut as well Uh, a good high quality freeze-dried colostrum
um zinc Glutamate these are all things that are really good to heal the gut All right, very good. Let's see if I can fair it out some people that have gone silent on us Rohit from Arizona. Do you hear me? Are you there? I don't see your picture Sir are you there? All right, let's um pause with Rohit and let's go To Claudia can you hear us? I don't see your camera Claudia Claudia, excuse me All right, well, we'll check back in but you folks know we're looking for you So if you pop up we'll put you on the air in the meantime Let's go to a question the dr. Burg is very familiar with and it's from Karen What's the best way to dry up rashes from poison ivy exposure? You If you don't if you have a mild problem you can use baking soda you can use bentonite clay um calamine lotion um And you know there's certain types of um
Remedies that you can buy that you can scrub Scrub it and clean up that poison ivy and and hopefully remove it as soon as you get it on your body now that works Initially But if you get it really bad where this poison ivy You know gets into the bloodstream like with me Um because the terrible itching I have Then it starts getting into your immune system all I have to do Is even think about poison ivy and I'll get it. I mean I can be Away from I don't have to touch it. It just starts to pop up on my skin However after I did the stem cell stuff that has mostly gone away Almost a hundred percent A couple other things that I would recommend is um taking a very After you've done that take a really hot shower and put the hot water on that poison ivy It'll be intense But it seems to then numb the area for at least three hours But there's one more thing that I think I would also recommend getting a cold bath
And diving into that for five minutes at 50 degrees But that that literally I don't know if it shocks the body or What but it definitely helps with your immune system and helps um You won't be feeling the poison ivy because you'll be in so much pain from the cold water All right, very good arm and death from rumble why or why would blood pressure fluctuate wildly in a teenager Well, it did The exercising has coming up it should go up and down But if they're just sitting there and it goes up and down There's a problem with the autonomic nervous system that regulates the blood pressure There's a there's various conditions for this but The best remedy for that kind of condition is taking higher doses of vitamin B1 And especially if you're relating to teenagers one of the biggest reasons why they're deficient B1 is their carbs are too high The more carbs refine carbs that they consume the more B1 that they need and um
So I would cut the carbs go low carb Take a lot of B1 and don't forget About magnesium as the cofactor to allow B1 to work and I think that will put you in good shape All right here. Let's go on to uh, wait. We need to answer Number uh, no, we already did it. Let's go to quiz question number four. Here you go Okay, at what vitamin D blood level levels are people most at risk of getting tumors or even cancer I've been to that audience and sashio one from rumble my gall bladder was removed seven months ago And I'm now having pain as if it's still there. Do you have a suggestion for remedy? What would uh, would hudka help if so Uh, is there something I need for the rest of my life? This is the easiest problem on the planet to solve in fact If you do what I'm going to tell you within the next
60 seconds you will not have any more pain in the gall bladder area. Are you ready for this? Are you sitting down? So the gall bladder is on the right right side about an inch off the midline right underneath the right rib cage And you just had it removed and that created a trauma uh, I've talked about this in other videos if you Now do massage Doesn't matter what kind of massage press Just press into it on the opposite side the mirror image side Which means about an inch to the left of the midline Okay, underneath the rib cage on your left side Not where your incision was but on the opposite side and you start pressing around in there Press up down to the side and you're going to find a spot that is so painful And you're going to be very surprised like why is it so painful in this point? You apply gentle pressure for two or three minutes And then notice how the pain on the right side has vanished So you're just kind of breaking up some of the
Kind of stuck circuits circuitry that's going on in the body from surgery You can do it with any pain it works like a charm and then of course See how you do because Pain is one thing But then we don't know if the if the bile is being regulated or not So you want to see with your digestion if you have diarrhea then you don't need you know bile sauce If you get constipation Or you start showing signs of the stool's floating or vitamin A your vision can't Is not working that well at night then you might need some tug con and anti stomach But Before you start taking it just see if you really need Because now you don't have a gallbladder but you have a tube that goes right in the small intestine and It's just being constantly dripped down So I don't know you might need it or you might not All right, hope that helps Lisa from Facebook What's the best way to improve a fatty liver?

Okay, insulin Once insulin goes down. That's like a switch your body is no choice It has to go after your fat because it's looking for fuel So the transition then you're going to get it's going to go after your fat This field and it's going to convert some of that to ketones as your fuel which you can think of that is just a different type of fat that's being used and
Yeah, it's all based on keeping your insulin very low You can actually Increase that if you cut the carbs low and then you fast longer and then you add exercise to that So those are three things you can do to speed up the process Okay, very good. I think we have Rohit back. Hi my friend dropping his daughter off at school and noble task Let me get you into a graphic here and bring you up and Rohit go ahead with your question for dr Thank you. Thanks man. Thank you dr. Work for giving you opportunity to talk ask my question I just have a couple of questions. I will be very fast My first question is about my rheumatoid factor it went off the chart So does it have direct connection with canlida or inflammation my question one my question two is about some spine issues mainly at l4-5 and l5-s1
Um, it's terrible So I know you also have spine issues any specific exercises or diet which we should not be doing I know you have a video on the sciatica on the spine issues which exercise we should be doing But when I go to gym what should be avoided thank you dr Yeah, well rheumatoid um It's an autoimmune disease so um You're gonna have inflammation now can you get canlida Maybe that's kind of a different side of another side that you you could be a could be a problem But it's I don't think it's directly related to that But it's definitely gonna be related to you're gonna have more inflammation when we're dealing with the lower spine Just so happens the antidote for rheumatoid is high doses of vitamin D3 the number one first place to notice discomfort In your I'm sorry the number the best way to to in to know that your vitamin D deficient is to
You're gonna have low back pain. So that's a real big red flag for low vitamin D. So you want to increase your vitamin D and also um The more Melanin that you have in your skin darker the skin the more vitamin D you're gonna need because that acts as a sunscreen um, I think Squats are always gonna be a problem with your lower back But I do like the inversion tables But there's another table that I'm gonna put a link Just give me a little time to do that it might take another hour or something in the in the description of Of going upside down. It's kind of like attraction, but on your knees and it's a device that you can get I love it. I do it Doing the whole body inversion you're just doing it by your knees. So it's a little bit easier And it tractions out your lower back really nicely I love that and it's great and it's good for Disc problems, which I had a lot of so and then of course the other idea is to make sure
I'm sure you don't sit a long time during the day, right? Like most people write I do I work in the software. So I have to So that is the killer of the lower back So you're gonna have to take uh breaks every hour And you're gonna have to do stretching of your so-ass You can look it up how to do that and really Kind of offset that posture, which is in a forward flexion. Believe me. I did it too for many years So you're gonna have to do a lot of stretching To kind of offset that with that inverted hanging Um upside down. So I will put this link in there. It's a great Someone sells it. I have to Give a link for that because I really like that device It's a very um Great thing if for any type of disc lower back issues or you're doing a lot of sitting All right, that's great row hit. Thanks so much for joining us and um glad you got your daughter safely to school
All right, we've got answers By the way, we'll hit this for you as well for quiz question number four Which ass that what vitamin D blood level are people most at risk of getting tumors for goodness sakes And 77% of respondents say it's a level of 25 or less 15% say level of 50 or less and 10% say 80 or less Are they onto something dog? It's 20 or less. Okay When your vitamin D levels are 20 nanograms per milliliter or less You are at risk of You know getting tumors or and having other problems as well. So The question is Oh, well, then what would happen if we really raised up the vitamin D levels Up to maybe a hundred or 90, right? Um, there's not a lot of research on that, but I think personally that would be something to explore If low vitamin D puts you at risk
Then let's keep it high or even if you had to a tumor. How do you how do you shrink it? Well bring it up There's a some interesting data. I want to share with you That goes along with this There's a two two thousand sixteen meta analysis um by the BMJ they had 95,000 people And they showed that each 10,000 nanograms per milliliter drop in vitamin D level increased Um A 16% increase in cancer mortality So also one more stat here. I'm going to tell you breast cancer survivors showed a recurrence of the cancer was 94% more likely And those under 20 nanograms per per milliliter compared to 30 nanograms per milliliter So we're not just talking about Getting cancer. We're talking about the recurrence which is
Really significant and this is an area that There's not a lot of discussion on but you go to the doctor you have cancer Do they check the vitamin D levels? Well many many many times. It's like really super low Why not increase it and see what happens there's there's some interesting data on on The necessity of doing that Okay, so if you don't mind I'll use your product as a benchmark. So 10,000 I use per capsule for a person that doesn't get any meaningful sun exposure Is there an average if you take one of those or you likely to have some good numbers? Is it real variable or you know So So that discussion is not connected to the last discussion of cancer or Steve so for talking about just Vitamin D levels 10,000 I use would be 20 minutes in the sun Okay That's 10,000 20,000 I use is 40 minutes in the sun So
You can't really predict what's gonna happen to your blood Because there's a lot of other things that can happen a lot of people are resistant to vitamin D a lot of people have genes that alter their conversions so I mean it's really hard to determine that and also what if Some people they have gut issues some people of um they're older. They're they're more they have more weight on them that they need more so there's a lot Ton pack with that you you can't I would just recommend as a maintenance 10,000 I use But when you get into a therapeutic dose it's gonna be higher than that and you have to just make your own judgment on that Okay, so if you go to any lab kind of place and say test my vitamin D is that an accurate test? You need to ask for something more specific. Okay. Yeah, you can even do a home test There's a great up and that can do a home test I'll put that link down below and they send you kit and you send it off and you can measure just by drop out your own blood and see what your levels are um But if it's 20 or less
You're you're at risk for a lot of problems not just tumors. Wow. Well, thanks for that counsel. Okay. Let's go to quiz question number five And it's a little goofy here because Let's see it wouldn't let me put it over try that again just a minute. There it is You're inset so you can do the theatrics with it and go ahead and ask the question Okay, true false consuming an entire bag of this Will give you excess salt levels Okay If I consume this right now, which I could very easily, okay Would that be Too much salt for me per day That's the question All right, and I'm sure you want to know what how much salt is in here, right? So let me just tell you Says 210 milligrams For 21 pieces nine servings Okay, so you have to multiply 210 times nine that's how much
Sodium that's in here so that's not too much so You'll at least get your daily minimum requirement. We know that all right. So that's a Well, that's what I'm asking. That's what I'm asking state Yeah, mm-hmm. So in there. There you go. So true falser and just to confirm that since we had so many things Let's see if I can yeah, you won't let me bring it up. Oh well, you heard it So it by the way consuming an entire bag of this will give you excess salt levels. There we go Okay, now let's move back to um Let's see quiz or excuse me social medias Sishi or sissy from rumble. I stopped using sunblock last year I eat no seed oils and no fast food and no longer gets sunburn or red spots on my arms. What should I do to protect my face? You mean from the sun? Yes Um, just just uh, leave the sun into the shade when you get just just some slight
Pink okay, then get out of the sun Um, then if you do that in a few days and come back and get a little bit more You start to develop a tan that's basically your body's adapting to that and it's forming more protection natural Sunscreen But when you start blocking that you the You start to block your vitamin D absorption. There's so so many so much benefit to sun um, you just don't want to get burned But I do not recommend uh, sunscreen um because there's chemicals in there and also um It's not based on actual science, but you might say well, what about melanomas, right? Well Listen after this whole sunscar sun phobia thing in the 80s And so millions of people started using sunscreen Why did melanomas keep increasing they haven't gone down Explain that to me, Steve Gee, um, I'm not that smart today maybe tomorrow
Let's go to hold my hand from youtube. What can I eat to build muscle if I have subclinical hypothyroidism high cholesterol a fatty liver and gallstones More than a trifecta there I think the the best thing to build muscles to make sure you have a sufficient amount of protein animal protein Like red meat because that's what muscle is made out of You can get all the nutrients in the protein, but then add this other thing in there they call this um, what's the name of for that exercise So you stimulate the muscle with With volume add more volume of exercise stress in the muscle. That's the greatest stimulus of Making bigger muscles with sufficient protein in the cofactors and I think that's going to help you Grow muscles very good. Let's see now this stupid question Refuses to loads and there it is. So it asks true falls consuming an entire bag of this which we showed you the Cheetos will give you excessive salt levels and
Um Well, here we go 65% of respondents say it's true and 35% say it's a false statement It's actually false Steve Wow, so Yeah, we need um like 20 well the RDAs are 23 100 milligrams of sodium this only comes out to I think a little over a thousand So if you've down this whole thing you still wouldn't get enough salt for the day Interesting, isn't it So you think it would be like way too much now the problem that the big huge problem or the lie That's going on now is we'd we're consuming too much salt. No, we're not we're not consuming enough We need more sea salt now if you might disagree with me, but just take a look at a couple things um When you're low on sodium which by the way
Um when the there's your cortisol goes up It's going to affect your sleep We need sodium and chloride, but mainly sodium to help balance out our stress hormones We need it to hydrate the body When you're low on sodium there's all sorts of issues that happen stress-wise sleep-wise electrolyte-wise heart-wise you will get a symptom of fatigue keto flu Especially if you go low carb you need more sodium so So what how much do you really need you need at least one and a half teaspoons of sea salt a day For more for for people that exercise that need two teaspoons a day or more to get your enough sodium now I just challenge you To experiment to try this out and start adding more salt to see how much better you feel and how much better you sleep All sorts of things will start to improve and you'll be like probably shocked
So how do you get this salt you just like over salt your food? No, you just kind of um like in the morning if you have coffee I put a little salt in the coffee maybe um You know you when you drink You're liquid if you're using tea or lemon water add salt to that and drink that Um If you're doing a electrolyte powder add more salt to that um and then see how much better your exercise performances And how much more energy you have It'll be amazing if you're salt sensitive and you're on blight high blood pressure I think what You should start increasing your potassium because if you have much enough potassium Then you can handle more sodium um All right, that's all I'm going to say stupid Okay, a darling hand me the cheetos. Oh, sorry go back to social media Charlie from Facebook Is there a way to reverse Hemi-facial spasms and men and what is the primary cause of that?
I'm not sure but I would definitely try to beef up your magnesium levels to To the point where maybe um you're up to over a thousand milligrams a day and see if that doesn't help um Those spasms um And a couple other things um If you take a lot of magnesium Without vitamin D it might not work as as well. So Anytime you recommend vitamin D I recommend magnesium anytime you recommend magnesium I recommend vitamin D together and I think that might help you One try it out all right to refer well doc. We've come to that point We're out of time. I mean the last one okay, I'm not known have a wonderful weekend I'll try to put those links in uh right now um, but might want to give me a few minutes All right have a great weekend. We'll see you next time
