Welcome back everyone. We're here for another show. And anything that I say is not meant to replace your medical care check with your physician before implementing anything that we're going to talk about. Steve, let's just dive right in. There's a lot of great people that I have a lot of questions. So let's see if we can get as many answers we possibly can. All right. Well, I think that's fair. We have a very interesting green room. First of all, the first participant, I'm going to bring up in a minute here. Angelo is from Sydney, Australia. And he's got toothpicks propping his eyelids up because it's one o'clock in the morning
there, but he's still got a great disposition. And secondly, we have a nice lady, Suzanne from East Texas, who had no idea she was going to be in the show. She's sort of unwittingly got some link clicked on it and discovered that she is going to be. So she's got a question about vitamin D that a friend of hers asked. And it's an interesting question. So we did not eject her from the green room. She's going to be a star just like everybody else. So thank you folks, an interesting group there in the green room. And let's do start in deference to Angelo, who has been very courageous and staying awake to come on board an angel and mute yourself in your own with Dr. Bird. Hey, Dr. Howell, you. Hi, great. Thanks. Dr. Eight months ago, I started intermittent fasting. I lost 40 kilos. And then I was diagnosed with ghost stones. And I started having severe attacks. I watched YouTube videos. I started taking bicep, cut, and cut liver oil. The attacks stopped.
But my doctor said you never ever do intermittent fasting again. And I found intermittent fasting very beneficial for me. It helped me on a very different levels. And I'm not willing to give it up just like that. I need your advice on how to take bicep and cut. And it sounded like that from myời. Of course, talking about what made my first blind Understandable and quite good. To speak better, I noticed when I šak�지, it was offered to beラ Mercijärl to eat moreoteast memiccas. Yes, it was great. You know, Althaylal, Agar-side,cotanaackliz. goldstones. You said they found what? Ultra sound, they did an ultra sound. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they found everything with sounds. Okay. And so did you ask them why do they think
intermittent fasting would make the stones worse? They said because when I don't eat much, the goldblad doesn't contract and the bars are concentrating in the goldblad, forming cholesterol cholesterol. And did they tell you why you should cut down your fat? Did they tell you did they say that that fat causes gallstones? Yeah, because fat increased the contraction of the goldbladder and it will make it hard for me to pass the wire and to digest the fatty food. Yeah. I'm just going to.
I'm going to give you my two cents, my opinion on this because there's a lot of people who do intermittent fasting that have wonderful goldbladders and it doesn't have a problem. And so what really causes the gallstone is a super concentrated amount of cholesterol. But it actually comes because also you don't have enough bile in the first place. So when you don't have the bile, then things kind of get concentrated. But the goldbladder and the bile ducts are the one of the primary routes of getting rid of excess cholesterol. That's it's purpose, right? So this is why even when I recommend keto, we always want to do it houseily and do a lot of vegetables because that tends to
also help help the situation helps to kind of flesh out some of the extra cholesterol as well. But here's the thing that I want to mention. What really is behind a deficiency in bile salts is usually one big cause is either cortisol or high insulin and insulin resistance. So in reality, when people start to eat more carbs or eat more frequently, they can actually worsen the insulin resistance and create more of a problem. So when you don't eat, you get to allow the whole digestive system to flush things out and it is true that you get more of a concentrated amount of bile, but you also get concentrated bile salts. The other thing is with the, when you cut back on your fat, if you take a look at even people that go like no fat, they have a higher rate of getting gallstones because they don't allow the goldbladder to work
that well. And so you kind of turn that whole mechanism off. So you know, I think it's just it's kind of like the standard reply of, and I would bring up these points. I just have, and this is the whole point is to give people other pieces of the puzzle that they might not get in traditional healthcare. And there's a lot of data I have on this. So even like the remedy of adding just adding two things. One is the tukka on an empty stomach. I would take two in the morning on an empty stomach and then two in the afternoon. And then I would take also probably two or three with a meal, not tukka, but the regular bile salts. That would be a protocol that I would recommend. And then what you can do is you can always just re-avail it. Give another also sound to see if those stones are shrinking and getting smaller and disappearing. And even the sludge that kind of plugs up the bile ducts to see if that actually is going to go down to. And then you really know if it's working. And the other thing is that you'll know too by just by feeling
that that form is underneath the right ribcage. And if there's less of that and better digestion. And if your stools maybe are no longer floating, that means that you're getting better digestion. So you know, I just I want to just to give you another viewpoint on that and see if that doesn't help you. Thank you. So I take two tukka on empty stomach twice a day and then after each meal I have to take two bile slopes. Yes. After I finish straight away. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Thank you very much. And then recheck it and see if it gets better over time. And I continue with intermittent fasting 16 mutt-8. And that would work. Well, you know, you should try it and see if you feel better because I know the benefits of fasting are huge. And so you want to look at the whole picture. What it's doing to you. You probably lost a lot of weight. You probably also when you lost fat,
a lot of that fat cell, guess what? Has cholesterol that has to come. Propel fitness water with gatorate electrolytes, zero sugar and vitamins. Propel hydrates better than water to help you get the most out of your workout and get back to your best self. What propels you? Propel with gatorate electrolytes. On any journey using Uber, it helps to know you're getting into the right car. Pin verification as an extra step to make sure your ride is your ride. Before the trip begins, your app gives you a unique pin. Just tell it to your driver and they'll enter it in their app before the ride can start. Hey, what's your pin? Mm-hmm. 2538.

How are you going to have the benefits that fasting gives you? It's really difficult to have a topology and all these wonderful
benefits by eating frequently. It's just it's really hard. So I don't know from my viewpoint is that if that's the best viewpoint in the world. So again, I'm just giving my opinion. Do you want? But yeah, I just want to know. My past year intermittent fasting has helped me. It's helped my depression, my anxiety, my weight loss. It changed my life. Yeah, that's so great. That's so great. Yeah, you ultimately are in charge of your body. And so you just need to you know, be your own counsel on that. And I think that's important to have your own choice over your own health to be able to do what you want. And unfortunately, that's not how things are going nowadays. It's kind of like they love people want to be dependent on the doctor and also dependent on certain things for health information. But ultimately, I think you're you're in charge of your body. Absolutely. Hey, Angela, thanks for hanging in there with us. Really appreciate it. Get back
with us and let us know how you're doing in the future. Let's see, we've got some more things to do. First of all, we're going to ask Dr. Berg to raise his volume a little bit. Normally, we don't we don't ask these things, but you're testing and everyone says you're the love. So if you can Okay, so what I'll do is I'm going to talk closer into the mic. How about that? Now that's better. Yeah, that's okay. Good. Okay. So now everyone's had their smiles across the world as your volume went up a little bit. Next off, we're going to start with a question for the audience. And then I'm going to give a question to Dr. Berg. And here's the first question for today. Okay, what is the most anti-inflammatory food on the planet? I think this might surprise everyone. But I want to see what you guys think about that. All right. Sounds great. And here's a lot of people who are thinking about most of you out there in video land have seen Dr. Berg's video talking about the continued suppression of information around the world. And in this case, particularly in medical advice or
health advice, etc. Dr. Berg, would you like to maybe give us a little briefing and exactly what's going on? So recently posted a video a couple days ago, it might have been yesterday. Now it was yeah, it was yesterday. I think yesterday morning wasn't. Anyway, YouTube has recently put out a policy, a guideline that they partner up with certain medical groups that and also enforcing the the viewpoint of consensus, medical consensus. So anything that now conflicts with like the World Health Organization is going to be filtered and censored. So it's going to be it's becoming harder and harder to get alternative viewpoints on health. It's becoming harder to even being able to find information on the ketogenic diet because now when you type the keto diet, which by the way, I have 985 videos roughly, you can't find them unless you type Dr. Berg slash topic. So,
you know, you're taking away people's ability to view and have access to other viewpoints, diversity of viewpoints. I think it's not good. So I did a survey and I was shocked to find out I have over 30, 36,000 survey surveys, 36,000 people. So I'm going through them, tabulating them. And I think I'm on number 200 right now. And the message is very clear. People don't like this. They want to have a free choice of what they want to see. They want they went to YouTube to find propel fitness water with gatorade electrolytes, zero sugar, and vitamins. Propel hydrates better than water to help you get the most out of your workout and get back to your best self. What propels you propel with gatorade electrolytes?

One more way Uber is putting safety at every turn. Learn more on the Uber app. Turned to viewpoints because medicine was not working for them and the people and and also a lot of people also want both. They want medicine and they want alternative. So very unfortunately it's becoming restrictive and so it's really hard to find information. So yes, we were going at other places as well. We're going to be on X. We're on X right now, rumble, other places so you can find information. But you know, it's I saw the riding on the wall and I knew it was coming and I'm sure you know that video might they might retell the probably going to I predict they're going to retaliate and do a smear campaign but oh well, you know that's
inevitable but the point is that you know people need to get alternative use on health and I have a lot of them and I don't think they're crazy and I don't think they're dangerous and I think it's very very it makes sense especially in the area of diet and food. So that's the latest Well, I'm the great benefactor of it. I'm 45 pounds down. My depression has Angelo pointed out one of the biggest factors is gone from that stuffing down sugar all day and I think one of the highlights of this is Dr. Berg is not running around with the emphasis on telling you how to cure things. He's telling you how not to end up in the hospital with them in the first place. How to be healthier and I can't imagine and the remedy he's talked about less sugar this that and the other are all very obvious and those are somehow you know looked a scans at and it just doesn't make any sense at all so and I might also point out that the medical system itself the
the ones that the who listen to one day salts good the next day it's bad one day this is good one so there's no consistency in that and there shouldn't be because any good medical science including the research that Dr. Berg does should end up on looking for new answers and looking for problems and they crop up all the time in the medical industry as well so what's true today and you must listen to them they themselves will say is not true tomorrow so that's a very dangerous dynamic to suggest that the entire world must you know feed off of that information without any scrutiny without any alternative views that's crippling I think that just trying to solve a problem they're trying to put high quality unbiased high quality health information out there Steve that is you know objective that's not tied with any vested interest and that's what they're trying to do so yeah absolutely you must be right you know anyway so let's move and let's see if we got answers which we did to our lightning fast audience okay first question
of the day asked what is the most anti-inflammatory food on the planet Dr. Berg promised a surprise here 65% say it's turmeric 20% say it's garlic 5% say it's cruciferous of veggies like cabbage and so on and then 5% say blueberries and another the final 5% say it's cod liver or cod liver oil very good answers and this is probably going to surprise everyone if you take a look at any condition I'm talking about autoimmune conditions which are always an anti-inflammatory irritable bowel conditions arthritis rheumatoid osteo there's a lot of things you can take to help reduce inflammation but most inflammatory conditions start in the gut and glued glued I mean is an amino acid that is one of the
best healers Steve am I getting a rebar on my little strange noise let me look and see if I can figure that out just a tiny bit but I wouldn't adjust your mic some propel fitness water with gatorate electrolytes zero sugar and vitamins propel hydrates better than water to help you get the most out of your workout and get back to your best self what propels you propel with gatorate electrolytes on any journey using uber it helps to know you're getting into the right car pin verification as an extra step to make sure your ride is your ride before the trip begins your app gives you a unique pin just tell it to your driver and they'll enter it in their app before the ride can start hey what's your pin mm-hmm two five three eight that way you know you're in the right car taking the right trip and your driver knows you're the right passenger make sure your ride is your ride with pin verification from uber one more way uber is putting safety at every turn learn more on the uber app other anomaly okay so the question is what fruit has the most glutamine and the answer is
meat beef specifically oh so I know and now if you don't consume meat or beef you can still get it from other sources one of the best hands down best vegetables that you can get it from is cabbage cabbage is loaded with glutamine too but beef is at the top of the list now this explains why a lot of people with autoimmune conditions and a lot of people with especially inflammatory gut issues that's the big one irritable bowel syndrome when they go on carnivore and they do more beef they feel better it's all that glutamine that is feeding the the single layer cell in your colon that gets 30% of its energy from glutamine and so it's you're feeding it you're giving it energy you're supporting it and you're also tightening up those little junctions that are part of the leaky gut situation now some people are not going to believe me but you should just try it because I
remember even when I started keto the first thing I made a change with as I started eating like a buffalo burger I had started and man did I feel good with my inflammation I had arthritis all the way up and down my spine and my fingers and and that all went away so it's it's it's it's might this might be new information but I'm just throwing this out there you should try it and see what happens and if you have any problem digesting meat just start taking something like patain hydrochloride which is an acidifier to help you really break down it but it's the grains primarily that really stir up the inflammation and the sugars and refined foods and the junk foods which is basically makes up 83% of all the calories in the grocery store so very interesting now of course fish has glutamine too and so to those other foods but primarily it's the the one that has the most is the is the red meat the exact food that people are trying to tell people not to eat is a great healing food by the way so anyway this might be
new information and test it out to see if it's true for you wonderful that's terrific so once again let's talk about who is watching us all over the world and who will continue to be able to watch us we promise you all there's a lot of nice stations like we said rumble etc and exit are are you know greeting people with an alternate view or just their own views so you're not going to lose us we promise you that and we'll give you details as the weeks roll forward and this will be just a nice fluid change over and of course we'll always be here on YouTube as well as long as they as they welcome the doctor so here's who's watching on YouTube and Facebook this morning a good morning to all of our viewers joining us today from the UK Canada Mexico Belgium India Bermuda Oman Norway Jordan Nepal Austria Finland Egypt Israel Scotland the Netherlands New Zealand Portugal France Nigeria Pakistan Peru Nicaragua or atria Spain Japan Morocco Iran Austria Ireland

huh we're gonna find out send me from facebook what's the best anti-cancer protocol in your opinion not cure but well you better you better find my videos really quick because they probably are gonna disappear on cancer and I that one some of the recent ones will have the protocol and again this is not I'm not claiming anything about it but there's an interesting protocol based on research that I participated in I I I funded half of the research in europe and it was incredible published study that you can I watch on my video and it's a natural protocol that you can apply that seems to give a lot of great positive benefits but again no claims just take the information and and use it how you would want to okay dr berg slash topics is that correct
yeah just type dr berg and then any topic with health and then it will show up I see yeah okay very good let's see a cat from facebook why do I get heart palpitations when I fast well here's the thing um a lot of these water soluble nutrients okay um don't get stored in the body very long so when you fast you're not eating and you might be already deficient like a lot of people are and all of a sudden you become very deficient especially um with potassium and even the water soluble vitamin B1 both of those if they're deficient will cause an elevation in the pulse rate so what you want to do is take especially when fasting I always recommend take um electrolytes with potassium and then to be vitamins um and that should solve that problem pretty nicely
wonderful okay let's see uh david from facebook what does it mean when you have elevated glucose levels when fasting but normal when not fasting that's interesting chances are you have what's called the dawn phenomena which is uh your liver is making sugar even though you're not eating sugar and it's uh it's a bit of a it's a little bit more technical to that and you can watch my video on it but the point is that if you have um either diabetes pre-dibities or insulin resistance your liver is going to be making more sugar than you should have and so it's not coming from the diet so what you want to do you want to do things to improve insulin resistance one alpacite of vinegar and your water through the day um sip of the straw dilute it with water um burberry is a good one cinnamon is good and then get on keto and then a minute fasting and do that for
some period of months and what should happen is the blood sugars will come down if you're concerned with it you can always go for a long walk and burn off those sugars but it's it's because the liver is making um a little too much glucose because of the um resistance with the insulin that's going on and it's trying to compensate um so that's as far as i'm going to go on this video um this presentation because it's there's a lot more to it but i don't want to you know spend too much time on that all right well let us move along with the answers for quiz question number two which was a true falsar and it asked allergies start in the gut and 99% of our respondents say it's true and 1% i imagine some guy up in a cabin up in the hills eating muskrat one person says no he's the outliers so is he right or are the 99% right to say it is true mostly it's true okay it's uh there's always that exception to the rule um but mostly it's true
a lot of allergies start in the gut um you know because what anything let me just put it this way anything that bypasses mother nature anything that bypasses the um the barriers of immigration that wall in your gut can then bypass the normal immunity that happens to stamp of approval to so you that way you the food that you eat um goes to a normal process because it's like both to a leaky hole that also in your immune system in a prickly tags there uh i will say that 1% would also be right too because there is another cause of an allergy if someone has a vaccination and there happens to be peanut oil in there or some type of protein as an extra little additive that can also be a creation of an allergy because of the um you're bypassing the normal
immigration process again and your immune system is going to look at it like a foreign invader and boom target as an analogy and so now you get to have antibodies against it so that could be another reason all right that's uh that is terrific let's see uh we've got a nice person uh let me see if I can find his name Isaac who's been trying to get it on the show and he had technical difficulties and we do hear from people that are lined up they got the message they want to come on and in for some reason you know they don't make it in this case Isaac had some technical difficulties couldn't see his camera couldn't see his um uh oh couldn't hear his voice and for the rest of you that might be suffering some frustration we take it very seriously and we're coming up with remedies to have you come on next week like Isaac's going to try to get his camera together also if you come into the show after we begin it's really really difficult to kind of arrange you and brief you while we're writing them into the show so try to come in you know an hour before showtime wherever
you are in the world and we'll do our very best to make sure that everyone is taking their time out to fill out the application as it's called etc gets an opportunity and if you can't make it that week we're going to try to roll you into the next show as we will Isaac so now here's the antithesis of that so Suzanne from east Texas didn't know she was going didn't apply to go on a show but she got some link and suddenly she popped up on her screen she goes hi who are you but we convinced her to stay and unmute yourself Suzanne because she's got an interesting question from a friend about vitamin D so Suzanne you're unwittingly on the air with the world go ahead with your question please hi dr. Berg I follow you so it's not like you came out of the blue I got an email from your people and I clicked on the link and the only reason why I'm halfway presentables because I just had a like a contuning education class that I was taking this morning so anyway I'm actually
going to change up the question because I told my husband what was going on and I said do you have a question for dr. Berg and he said yes I do I don't know that he's camera ready though so I'm going to read the question that he texted me and he said I have experienced hair loss when taking creatine I have heard fenugreek can offset the extra DHT produced by taking creatine can you speak to this at all well here's the thing you're there's several mechanisms here and there could be several reasons why there's hair loss in the first place and that like I mean if I had time to get a history that'd be good but I will say protein we're dealing with protein in in order to make a protein grow you also need co-factors or co-enzymes like minerals or entrace minerals like zinc and copper and selenium especially those are the three that are really important
to allow certain proteins to be activated and then the other thing is you mentioned the DHT which is really has to do with a very powerful form of testosterone and and you said he's taking something to kind of curb that right he's right here okay I just heard it kind of Greek he said fenugreek fenugreek is a good one yeah fenugreek is a good one and so if that is the problem if you have if the problem of your loss of hair is as a do with the your the follicles the root follicles are being burned out because of this powerful testosterone then fenugreek should should produce results but on some people it's not the case so I would I would try it for maybe a month and if you have no results then chances are it's probably something else causing it and a couple things that I always recommend for hair is the trace minerals and then more B vitamins
very very important and then of course I'm assuming you're on keto because that can also that insulin resistance could be a problem too so those are the things that I would look at it's it's usually not a deficiency in dietary protein but it's more of a deficiency either the trace minerals or this very powerful form of testosterone there's also a couple other ones that work a little bit better stinging nettle root salt polmetto is a good one but fenugreek is also effective as well but I don't know if it's as powerful as something like stinging nettle root okay do you have any suggestion on doses no I don't you're gonna have to experiment with that and just try it out okay thank you so much you're welcome and today well thanks what a what a charm it was to have you and your husband on just sort of serendipity and again other people are clawing to go on the show and Suzanne just sort of lounges in has a seed and here she is the star of the shows that was really
fun all right let's go back to questions here's the third question for the day dog okay which nutrient will produce the fastest relief for nervous tension and irritability I don't know Steve if you've ever felt irritated or you had nervous tension what would be the nutrient that could quickly solve that problem not that everyone's anyone's watching is irritated right now should I say if you want my opinion I know it's a I think B1 B12 I mean did I let the cat out of the bag who knows I'm not an expert but you asked me and I told you I think there's a B a B vitamin somewhere in there it's gonna make me feel better I think I've already taken them and Dr. Berg is again I've mentioned he is the same off camera he doesn't start throwing papers around and kicking trash can so soon as we go off the air he's just as relaxed and mellow as you see him is now so I think he's holding out there's some secret formula probably in all his videos but
maybe one day he'll give us the whole list and we can be as relaxed as he is okay back to social media Audrey from Facebook what's the best way to treat oh gosh I shouldn't have done this pylopyrness infection causing kidney inflammation I'm sorry he even finnically did it pylop fri-nethus pylopyrdenest is that ring a bell I see but didn't do we have this talk before do you pronounce I know I get so excited no I'm the next all the diseases but I get so I guess what I need to do and this is going to change audience for now I'm going to read the four lines of the question before I blurred it out because I saw Audrey and I thought oh I know how to say Audrey and I read on and then ran into this in credit yeah oh what's the what's the pylopyrinethus what's the best way to get something like this medical canesis that's really what people want to know right that's right all right well listen let's move along but here's one I know about sugar my word from YouTube my sugar cravings are bad what can I do to help cure to
curb excuse me those cravings I understood every word I just said that's that's my kind of question Steve so in order to cure the cravings for sugar you have to get rid of the sugar you cannot fix cravings by eating sugar but there is an alternative I would start to consume all the sugar alcohols not alcohol but there's a sugar it's an alternative sugars that like especially the rethrothal and the monk fruit seems to be a popular one in certain things start using that in some of these recipes and so that way you're not you're not stimulating the blood sugar and you get the sensation of sweet you get to have your cake and eat it too and that way the cravings will go down because you stop eating sugar just think about the scenario right you eat sugar the blood sugars go up okay and then insulin comes in to get that sugar out and now your blood sugars come down now you're going to want sugar so anything that improves your blood sugars
will help reduce the cravings and out of all the things that don't really trigger sugar much it would be fiber as in vegetables and fat and a moderate amount of protein is going to be fine but it's the carbs you got to get rid of the carbs and then your cravings will go away within three days I will guarantee it it will work I will if it doesn't work I'll give you your money back and he'll refund all your misery no charge okay let's see um Audrey said you pronounced it perfectly I'm so proud but anyway we'll we'll move on in Audrey we're going to do some research on that and come back and say it was great to plume well I do have a standard I have a standard answer for these all the medical conditions that I can't talk about okay just go on keto and in a minute fasting do the healthy version and then come back in a few weeks and see see how you feel that's excellent you may not have
as many of those symptoms as you had before that's an excellent comeback from that question and Audrey we so glad that you called in or so to speak texted in and we hope you feel terrific in several weeks and I'm going to read all the way through this um before I blurt out with some weird acronym LG from YouTube how can I do healthy keto if I cannot tolerate fats he doesn't say how he can't tolerate them but there you go yeah just um what you can what that means is you don't have enough bile to break down the fat usually it could also mean you don't have enough enzyme lipase but typically it's you need more bile salts so you want to support the gallbladder and the other thing is that you don't have to add a lot of fat for keto keto is not what makes keto is not adding more fat it's lowering your carbs so why don't you try to do keto with just the lower amounts of fat and see how you feel that might just solve your issue and then if you do it the
way I like I like to do it with more vegetables as well that can definitely curb or alter the that intolerance to fat issue that you might have all right very good let's go to Iraq how fun to have someone from Iraq and this is Zahra I hope I said her name right but she'll correct me if I didn't Zahra you're on with Dr. Bird how are you yes you said my name correct me hi Dr. Berg I am happy to speak to you hi nice to meet you I just want to ask you about the nerves and especially the mining sheath above of the nerves I had the MS and the last attack was on my ironer how to improve the mining sheath because I can move through it so I can come back yeah I mean my eye can back as before healing
completely and is there any way to prevent any other attack in the case of immune multiple sicklerosis yeah good question this is what I would I would recommend you do research on two things one is to support the myelin sheep it's the coating around the nerve it's definitely a combination of B12 make sure you get the methylcobulamine not the cyanocobulamine also you can also get one with a folic acid no not folic acid the folate not folic acid you want folate methyl folate would be good and then you you also need the benifotamine which is the B1 benifotamine is the type of B1 that's great for fixing nerve problems very important and then parallel with that because you mentioned MS there's some really great research on higher levels of vitamin D and putting MS back in remission so you need probably 50,000 a day and you know when we
when you look at the DNA of a lot of people vitamin D is the number one vitamin that most people that I've observed have genetic issues with absorbing that vitamin and also converting it from the inactive to the active and there's like several genes involved and I found a lot of high correlation between just the general public and that and just absorbing it so in the Middle East there's a super high level of people that have low vitamin D because they they're not getting exposed to a lot of sun even though it's very sunny over there and so you have to take it as a supplement because you can't get it from the food so I think the combination of that would help you going on keto right and the last thing I would mention and this is more like I noticed this in practice a lot of people develop autoimmune diseases especially MS after stress events not that you've ever experienced
stress before but the stress event is the trigger that shuts down the immune system so whatever you could do do whatever you can to do to reduce stress and that usually helps the reoccurrence of these episodes all right I did that thank you you're welcome thank you thanks so much we appreciate how fun to have someone I think that's our first visitor from Iraq and you represent the nation beautifully Zahra I hope hope that you feel better quickly so let's go back to social media um and that was the one I let's see hang on Terry I think I got it Logan from Facebook is it true that when the gallbladder is removed the bile duct stays intact yeah that there's a tube between your liver and your small intestine and on the side of that there's a there's supposed to be a gallbladder with a connection right and so when they remove the gallbladder there's still a tube
you need that tube that goes from the liver into the small intestine but now without a gallbladder you don't have the regulator they they the um the concentrator of that cholesterol so when you eat and not cholesterol but bile salts so when you eat you have this squirting of this bile into the small intestine it is super concentrated amount to be able to digest the fats and to a certain level so then the pancreas can take it to the next level um bile by itself doesn't break down fat to the smallest level that it needs to be for absorption it just breaks it down so then the pancreas enzymes can do their magic so you could potentially have a problem with the pancreas that it's not producing the lipase that you need to take it to that next level so you know you need both things working together and um if you remove the gallbladder then the problem now is we don't have the concentration so now we have this diluted version of bile salts
it's not it's just trickling down and it can it's non-regulated so you could now you could either have a deficiency of the bile which your stool start floating or you might have too much bile that because it's come draining out and then you get diarrhea so it's a it's a situation and unfortunately it take out these gallbladders like there's like there's no consequence but now you have to deal with it I have a lot of videos on it that you won't be able to find unless you type Dr. Bergen gallbladder all right very good okay quiz question number three um ask which nutrient will produce the fastest relief or nervous tension and irritability and I threw that in for a little comic relief and the audience 72% of our respondents say it's B1 I said that 20% say it's magnesium and 8% say it's vitamin D3K2 Steve in when I was in practice um one time I had this
uh husband and wife come in came in and they were they were fighting in the waiting room so I put them in separate rooms and I gave them both some vitamin B1 okay and within four minutes they were calm they were laughing they were talking again they were social so B1 is the answer to that and uh and so if you ever feel stressed anxiety nervous tension you can't relax your mind's racing boy that B1 is like magic you take it and get a natural version of B1 and uh you will just feel it within just a few minutes you'll feel like this sigh relief you'll feel calm you'll breathe better and then you'll be like shocked to find out how dramatic that work and without side effects and what you have to realize is that you're probably doing something that's depleting the B1 and so like too much sugar too many refined carbs alcohol will deplete it too much coffee
will do it too much tea will do it and too much stress will do it so these are all things that um this is why people take more B1 on a regular basis it's it's the antidote to mental stress it's the antidote it's one of the best remedies and uh a lot of people don't don't even know about it and uh they so they're they're trying other things that have side effects wow it's interesting well I'm currently under stress because I'm falling behind a little bit and I'm going to rely on our lightning fast audience to get through the next two questions and here's the fourth for the day doc all right what is the first sign that your body is low in magnesium all right eat into that audience and for that I'm going back to the audience from more questions Marie from youtube what do you recommend to resolve a stone in my gallbladder I guess it's such a similar to an earlier question but well with causes of stone it's a super concentrated cholesterol stone usually and that usually occurs because the ratio of bile to cholesterol is incorrect what you need to
do is increase more bile to be able to keep that cholesterol stone from being formed so bile salts are the answer and that brings up a question well how do we do that well I have a video on that you'd have to search it out but um but the bottom line is that bile salts to take them after the meal purify bile salts would be a good solution to help in that problem all right very good let's see Marie from youtube what do you recommend to resolve oh no I already did that I'm sorry um there's a lot of bile problems today audience um let me look a little further back up here more international shout out thank you all for coming in late we don't have time to really talk about that now um oh well Kelsey from youtube what are your thoughts about the cause and treatment of lymphedema you know what that is well that's us that's uh that's extra fluid
in your lymphatic system and um that it's usually uh it could come from a hypothyroid condition um the rebounder is a great exercise to help push fluid out because the and people use stockings in different uh spent like restrictive clothing to push the fluid out but think about this the lymphatic system is like an extension of our circulatory our our vascular system and so we have this arterial system that dumps into the venous system then you have this backup lymphatic system that is uh right next to it at the end of your capula is it starts to fill up and so it doesn't have a pump it doesn't have a muscular pump it works through um motion movement so exercise is very very therapeutic if you have lymphedema from a hypothyroid condition then you need to fix the thyroid um and there's
a lot of different things to do for that but um the rebounder is a really good remedy but it's not as simple as just some some simple remedy because it's a it's a it's a the whole system is is accumulating fluid. All right very good abage from facebook i'm trying to get pregnant i am taking prenatal cod liver oil and vitamin D is there anything else you'd recommend to help her on her way to be in a mommy. They're like royal jelly from like the bees uh is a good remedy but uh and also caviar is a good remedy um but i'm glad you're taking uh the cod liver oil and just make sure that your prenatal is a food-based whole food prenatal because and i don't i'm not bias of my own but um you want to find something that is actually comes from nature and it's natural because most of them are just synthetic the other thing is you must must work on your diet
because um that future child is dependent on on the new your nutrition at that level and also the fertility is dependent on that as well there's a lot of different nutritional deficiencies that can create infertility and one big one is the vitamin E if you were to take um token treinels for example that would actually supply that um vitamin E deficiency um and you would want to take a token treinel complex that would be a better than the to cough rals um but hopefully you're on my version of the healthy version of the ketogenic diet and to be able to increase your fertility um because that should normally do it. All right very good. Chas from youtube, well wearing sunglasses outside help prevent cataracts i work outside and get a lot of exposure from the sun. Thank you he says that's chas. I think I would there are blue blockers and things like that that can help that but there's a lot of benefits from sun um like the infrared as well so yeah you can probably wear some
type of blue blocker to help curb that but don't forget uh these cataracts can also come from a nutritional angle so you want to have um food tie and antioxidants especially like salads and vegetables and things like that. Intermittent fasting is very important too to build up your own antioxidants but also um be careful about all the screen time behind computers, cell phones, laptops, TV all that will really increase the risk of getting the cataracts. I talked I had several videos of cataracts that you won't be able to find unless you type dr. Burke and I give some great data on that as well because there's a there's a bit of um it's called um glycation uh usually comes from the diet eating too many carbs but glycation affects the protein in that part of the lens and then because it becomes opaque and it occurs with aging but if you actually go on the the eating plan
that I recommend I think that would be the best prevention. All right very good. Who is question number four? Ask what is the first sign in your body is low on magnesium and uh 80 percent 80 percent this time say muscle fatigue or cramping 10 percent say constipation and 10 percent say poor sleep quality. Okay so there's a thing called the mitochondria. The mitochondria is the energy factory of the cell. A lot of those enzymes in that mitochondria that make up energy require magnesium. ATP the energy currency of the body is dependent on magnesium. So the at the the magnesium allows you to have the power to power the muscles the nervous system and if you don't have
that power you end up with things like arrhythmias uh cramping but the first symptom of a magnesium deficiency is fatigue relentless fatigue you just don't have the energy and I mean I'm sure there's at least one person out that's tired right now um instead of running out in the buying magnesium you could just start increasing foods higher magnesium. So anything with chlorophyll and that would be the green stuff like leafy greens big salads but not lime green jello or pistachio ice cream Steve. Well by the way is iceberg lettuce in that group does that have anything good for you in it? iceberg lettuce is literally it looks like it's a food but there's not much going on inside. Yeah that's not figured. Okay quiz question uh number four let's see I'm sorry quiz question number five let's get to that dockets our last one for the day is a good one. This is a hard one
I don't know if you're going to get this true false. YouTube's new health uh policy supports objective unbiased health information with no ties to conflicts of interest. What else could it be you're goodness eggs? All right dig into that real quick audience. Maria from YouTube what's the best way to resolve constipation from doing keto? Well I think when we do the constipation we have to look at the microbes right we have to look at the microbes and also the shipped and diet are you doing too much protein that can definitely create some constipation with some people because you're now not uh maybe feeding the microbes enough uh the fiber that needs from the salad right so um but I think a good remedy for constipation uh because now there's a I think there's a shortage of laxatives uh or no stool stools uh softeners so we really need to stock up on the nuts right Steve
but a good remedy for that would be uh probiotics okay probiotics is the best remedy but you can even get get it from food like fermented sourcrow at each meal have a cup of that watch what happens uh keyfer is way better than yogurt make sure you get the unflavored unsweetened plain boring whole fat keyfer from a goat or a sheep if possible um but uh I have keyfer every single day and sourcrow so it's it's the antidote to this constipation especially if you're on keto a fermented vegetable or a dairy right very good well we have a consensus true false youtube's new health policy supports objective unbiased health information with no ties or conflicts of interest well doc they don't believe that the hundred percent of them say that's just simply not true there's more to this picture than meets the eye okay all right well that's uh
that's good that's good good information that's great and we are hustling folks you're not going to lose dr burger promise you if anything we're going to have more ways for you to watch him um and he'll have continued freedom to give you some great um health benefits to following these various things and again I am much much healthier and happier than before I met a doctor bird I will contest for my own results it's just a terrific way of improving your mood and your health hands down Kathy from facebook how can I get rid of a swollen lymph gland in the neck just under the jaw it's been there for five months no pain but my voice occasionally um gets horse could it be sinus drainage there's something really interesting about that because um in practice um I did some experimenting on people in have sore throats or swollen lymph glands or in large lymph glands when they don't really have an infection um when you were in high school maybe you had what's called upstein bar
virus uh which does tend to can come back out of remission and not create a full blown affection but it can actually create maybe a swollen lymph node or a sore throat um most sore throats are actually viral um not necessarily bacterial that's why antibiotics don't work for sore throats most of the time um but the point is that there is a technique um that you won't find unless you type dr burger sore throat um where you put this pressure maybe um someone in your house can can duplicate this but you want them to put pressure you first of all point where the sore throats and draw a line around the back of your neck and have them apply pressure on the exact mirror image opposite side in your neck at the level of the sore throat and hold that pressure for two minutes you're gonna find uh the lymph node draining you're gonna find that sore throat kind of easing up but the key is hitting those exact opposite points which once you find them the way
that you know you find them is it'll be very very extra tender in that area so feel the tenderness hold the pressure i have a device that i use to do it on myself to hand held massage device i don't have it around here but you can look look at that on my website too if you don't have someone to do it on you but but boy that's a great thing um to help um kind of just open up the the energy flow so your neck and the tightness that can be residual from maybe years of that uh air of your of your body stressing out from various things like viruses coming in and out of remission well speaking of years of extra mask as they call themselves from youtube i have one functional kidney from birth uh i've had no issue so far but i need to watch my creatine levels as keto compatible with my situation well take a look at the number one cause of kidney disease
it is a high carb diet that causes um diabetes so i'm not talking about healthy carbs like salads and vegetables and things like that i'm talking about refined foods and also having hyper glycemia high sugar that is the the killer of the kidney so guess what keto is it's the opposite of that you're going on low carbs which is very very healthy for the kidney that don't forget to do the healthy version of the ketogenic diet which involves a lot of vegetables which will give you the potassium which is very protective of the kidney the nice thing about what you have is that you can survive very well with one kidney because it compensated but sometimes people through misinformation say that oh we don't need to overdo the potassium because um you know i heard potassium is actually fitting no that's not true potassium is only bad if you have a state five kidney disease more potassium is protective against kidney um especially um we don't have one so that's my answer and on that note i want to thank
