Hello. Dr. Eric. What about those of us who have kidney disease Membranous Nephropathy.. What should we consume. There are some foods that you tell us to consume. But do they harm us.. Please help me.. Creatinine is within the norm ...
my dad in his 70's eats fish he catches every day w other food generally healthy but his legs have alot of edema and often he has gout. he generally tzkes supplements but likely isnt taking it correctly. i feel he is likely out of right ratio of potassium, magnesium but I need to try anything to help him. its been like this over a year. please help.
My mother used to take her 'water pills' and often in a few days she would call me to take her to the hospital because she was so weak she couldn't stand. I would tell her she needed potassium (I knew from experience)... Of course, she wanted to hear a doctor say it so we went to the emergency room and they always gave her potassium plus lots of tests. One thing to remember is that low potassium can also cause muscle spasms/cramps and the heart IS a muscle. Several times she thought she was having a heart attack, and she NEVER had one in 92 years! It was always potassium- not that they always told us that, but she always had a bag of potassium on her IV. I bought her potassium and I told her she needed 3 or 4 several times a day, but she said they upset her stomach... God, I miss her❣ So much.🙏🏻
Causes for edema: 1.Sugar & high carb diet, spike in insulin; take low carb diet 2.consuming lot of sodium; low potassium 3.low protein; fix kidney & liver problems 4.heart problem 5.thyroid; hyper & hypo 6.fat in the lower part of the body 7.medication side effects: calcium channel blockers, diabetic medications & steroid 8.lymphedema
Congestive Heart Failure is number one reason. You won't know you have it unless you get specific heart imaging (not the enzyme tests which can say your heart is fine when its not). Lost my best friends mom to it a few weeks ago. She weighs 120 lbs her whole life and before she died she weighed 170! That's how much fluid her body retained. She got it after the booster shot
I added 13kg withing a year after I got the shots. It's crazy, initially I was always coming down with fever like twice a month then weight gain. I've been suspecting the covid shots
After the Booster shot is when edema showed up, and I had to go to urgent care. However, they were clueless in urgent care as to what to do. That's the type of medical expertise we, the general public, are left with - a big idonno!
Dr Berg, please do a video about Lipedema for us women who are suffering from this disease. So many doctors have no idea how to help us but just tell us to eat less and move more or push weight loss drugs. We need a trusted and informed doctor like you guiding us. Thank you!
Have you tried a gut repair diet, if I may suggest it. Like the gaps diet. Probiotic rich fermented foods everyday. Only good healthy fats, like olive, coconut, butter, cheeses, meats, fish. Probiotics are very important for hormonal balance and so much more. It could greatly help.
@@Pbcvl yes and also removing all the bad habits like alcohol, cigarettes, soda and fast food/processed foods…it was bad! Depression and fear kept me down but not anymore with a healthy lifestyle and mindset. 😁
I have arthritis and did an experiment on myself to see if sugar is actually as bad as some people say and I found out it is worse than some people say. Sugar causes so much inflammation it should be considered toxic in any amount.
How long were you off of sugar before you felt a major difference in your arthritis? And does small amounts of fruit, like apple or blueberries, also cause the same response in your arthritis?
@@Ravenheart_ It took about a month to get rid of the flare-up I used ACV with lemon stevia in my water which I drink everyday. For me I can't have any berries or fruit except lemons or limes because it hurts my joints where I have a hard time walking and getting out of bed.
This is one of the reason Berg is amazing. I didn't KNOW I had this and it was called Edema. I always thought it was super wierd my lower legs would do this... I had it for years and just thought it was "normal"... wierd, but normal. In 2016 I went Keto and I just thought because I lost over 100 pounds it was wieght loss that made it go away. I was for sure diagnosed Pre-diabetic and was at 315 lbs. I got down to 195-200 and all sorts of good things happened thanks for Dr. Berg. Exema, Edema both disappeared. I've never felt better so Thanks for saving my life! So much knowledge to be gained on this channel.
Hi Dr. Berg, I passed on a video of dizzy spells to my mom and the recommendations you gave healed her immediately. Thank you. I am 54, fit and healthy, excellent eating habits, no alcohol or medicines yet have been periodically been getting edema in my feet and ankles. I realized that its timed perfectly with my indulgence of marijuana. I gave up my compulsive use a few years ago but still partake a few times a year but when I do I smoke daily until the stash is gone. Then I go four or six months without. I noticed the edema begins within two days of daily smoking and then gradually disappears over five days after halting. After watching this video I'm guessing it has to do with my diet changes (munchies) when stoned. I googled this and got no information until I watched your video. I wont be indulging in marijuana anymore and will be modifying my diet and exercise more to protect my heart. Thanks again.
I have secondary Lymphedema and yes MLD, compression garments, and workouts to help pump the lymphatic fluid up the leg really help. Our soleus muscle is our "2nd heart" and helps pump fluid so important to activate it. The other thing I do to keep my swelling way down is eat a very clean diet, especially avoiding sugar.
Thank you for sharing! This makes sense as I've recently switched to wide toebox, zero drop barefoot shoes to regain full range of motion in my feet and ultimately legs and just after a month I've noticed it really helping to keep the swelling down. Sadly I think people don't realize the damage we're doing to our feet, legs, and whole body when we wear modern shoes all day because they look good, have super cushions, or are designed for some specific sport
@@Artbug hi thank you for sharing this, can you please also share what tipe of shoes you are actually wearing ..I'm really struggling with shoes specially during the summer with my sweollen foot.. Thank you so much
@sellydaniel1576 there are lots of good brands like vivo, xero, and merell, but the ones I got were from FeelGrounds. Things I look for in a shoe are thin flexible "barefoot" sole (which were surprisingly no thinner than some heels that i already wear), zero drop sole (flat sole, absolutely no heel), and a wide toe box (so your toes naturally spread as you walk instead of bind together unnaturally)
I had this 10 0r 20 years ago, I never even knew it was a thing, I just thought it was weird my legs got dents in them when I pressed. I figured it was dehydration. I am ok with it now. Thank you so much Dr Berg PS A lot of things off with me slowly went away when I started taking B Vitamins every day and cut out Beer.
I have cleared my edema practicing what I learned watched predominantly your info casts. Man 🖤 knowledge is worthless unless you practice it and share it. I'm grateful you share. Thank you Sir.
I find it very assuring,Dr. Berg, that in your videos you mention your own inner demons and battles that you have had, i.e. edema, bad eating and drinking in the past, etc. It gives me such hope to see how you have been able to conquer your problems, so that I can conquer mine, and in your videos you cover so many issues that we could possibly think of as even minimal deterrents ❤
Bread and sugar caused my venous insufficiency and swelling in the knee down. Having vein ablation soon, in the meantime I went full keto and that pretty much cleared everything up but the damage was done. One that’s fixed and I stay on keto and keep working on strengthening the veins and circulation, hopefully it’ll be ok.
@@markmeadows7093 thank you 😊 had the vein treatment in one leg and it’s all better, other leg in 2 weeks! Now I know how to prevent it from happening again, at least not as fast
Very timely video. I just got back from a 3 day trip with my husband and my legs and feet are very swollen. I did consume fast food, high carbs and sugar. This is helpful.
Potential causes and remedies for edema: 1. Consuming a high-sugar, high-carb diet What to do: • Get on the ketogenic diet 2. Consuming sodium without potassium What to do: • Consume foods high in potassium, an electrolyte powder high in potassium, or take a potassium supplement (you need 4700 mg of potassium a day) • Avoid MSG 3. Low protein in the blood What to do: • Focus on natural ways to support your liver and kidneys 4. Heart issues What to do: • Support your heart naturally 5. Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism What to do: • Consume iodine • Support the thyroid 6. Lipedema What to do: • Go on a low-carb, high-fat diet 7. Medication side effects What to do: • Talk to your doctor about natural alternatives 8. Lymphedema What to do: • Try manual lymphatic drainage • Wear compression garments • Try low-level laser therapy • Exercise consistently Thank you Dr Berg!! 🐱👍🏿
Thank you for this video Dr Berg! Its a little sad to see there is so little research and understanding into lipedema and lymphadema, but reading these comments hearing other experiences is giving me some great leads😊 God bless!❤
Edema, or swelling caused by fluid buildup in the body, can be caused by a variety of factors. Heart failure, kidney disease, and liver disease can all disrupt the body's fluid balance and lead to edema. Pregnancy and certain medications can also cause fluid retention and edema. Inactivity and injuries to the legs or feet can also contribute to swelling. Lymphedema, a condition where the lymphatic system is unable to drain fluid properly, is another potential cause of edema. Treatment for edema depends on the underlying cause and may include medication, lifestyle changes, or medical procedures. Thank you for opening our eyes.
#6- pregnancy related; the doctor ordered all kind of tests,monthly, with no clear answers to my Pillsbury Dough Boy transformation. I started at 125 lbs and gained 10 lbs of weight a month, did not eat sugar,had nausea for the entire 9 months + 2weeks,had heartburn the last three months of pregnancy. Could not eat chicken, it was a triggering word,sight,smell,could not read the word without having a nausea attack. It so happened that a good friend of my husband's opened a Chinese restaurant, and we did frequently eat Chinese food,so I suspect MSG now. I don't eat fast food,and truly I didn't have much appetite, so how did I gain so much weight is puzzling. The edema in my lower legs was very bad towards the end of pregnancy. Had a healthy, 11lbs,23 inch long son 😊 . (Should have changed my doctor, for a secon, or third opinion. )
Thanks Dr Berg for posting this. I had swelling in my ankles and decided to reduce salt and increase potassium. Literally a few days in and the difference has been dramatic. Swelling completely gone, feel so much better generally. Even my tinnitus has virtually gone. I've since looked it up and seen that too much salt reduces the blood flow to the ears and can cause tinnitus. This is a real game changer for me, I can't tell you how grateful I am.
Hello and thank you for your time, effort, and patience you display. You don't know how you touch and bring much-needed relief along with joy of your honesty in explaining the importance of replacing vital minerals and the productive use of vitamins 😊. There's so much more that can be said about the work you and your lovely wife is doing for the less informed. Thank you, Dr. Berg and your wife. Psalms 37:37; Jeremiah 29:11; 😊. For you two.
Penpoint: Lantus/Bolus Insulin caused Swelling/Edema in legs Switched to Lymujve/Bolus Insulin made the Edema/Swelling worse. Took myself off the Bolus (using long term only - Treseba) eliminated all salts except for sodium in foods. Dead serious about what I eat. The Edema is subsiding now. Diabetic's careful. Best words I ever heard from a nurse. RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH. TY DR. BERG for all you free of charge Videos. You have really helped me.
You are a mind reader Dr. Berg! I was looking for this information as I am doing research for my mother. This video is definitely helpful for my research.
Doctor, can you talk about how to maintain focus and energy while studying and how to avoid forgetting information🌸 is really important topic for the students
He’s made a few awesome videos on focus, on learning, on memory, on the brain & nervous system. These are probably some of those I’m most thankful for. I used to be unable to study normally. As unable to focus and sooooooo hungryyyy after only 1:45 of studying… Despite having eaten 3 big full plates of foods…. Right before study time! God! You are lucky to find him now.
Thank you for your information. I have DM2, insulineresistant, been on strict keto (5-10 gr carbs) IF and OMAD 3 times a week plus 1 egg day a week for over 3 month now. My body refuses to let go weight/water. After 3 weeks I finally lost 3 liters of water. Now in total 4.5 kg. Nothing happens on the scale, very frustrating. Almost carnivor, taking all the supplements, take collagene, k2, Kalium, B complex, iodine , D, inuline, magnesium, drink 2 liters a day, walk 10000-14000 steps a day. Still bloated feeling, still edema and not losing weight. I am lost😊
Have you tried upping your potassium? I take Dr. Berg's electrolyte drink mix that has 1,000 mg of potassium per serving. Most electrolyte drinks/mixes have more sodium than potassium, but not Dr. Berg's. I also eat an avocado every day and that really helps with getting potassium.
My Daily Calories are under 1000 when I want to lose weight. Find a Keto Friendly Naturopathic Doctor. They will get all the detailed info from you and will work out something that should work.
@@diana6842 I just started with cream tartar if I translated it correct. Now 1 teaspoon a day, going to 2 teaspoons a day up to 3 if my intestines accept it. Hopefully it helps! Thans for your reply, I appreciate it.
@@KETO_DIET mine too and esp at omad days. 400-950 calories a day, high protein, more fat, no fruit, barely veggies. I am coached by a iabetic nurse who is also a diëtist and giving scholings to specialist. She mentions all dr Bergs advices, but told me it will go slow ( age, insulineresistant, menopause).
i asked my Dr why dont we fix the CAUSE of the issue, he says WHY when you can keep taking this drug....worst answer ever!!! Veteran Affairs Dr of course, the worst!!!! they need to be investigated
Kudos for acknowledging LIPedema. The majority of MDs have no idea what I'm talking about when I bring it up as it is not acknowledged in medical training. A very common female condition that leads to a host of complications including joint degeneration. Social isolation and consequent mental health issues as well. No treatment if it is not acknowledged. Incredibly frustrating.
I lost 38 pounds in less than 3 weeks. I figure it was Gluten and my reaction to Gluten was inflammation. When Thanksgiving to Christmas occurs I have more breads, cookies, gravy and my symptoms come back.
Be careful when being still for more than 2 hours, even one hour or even a half. I know several younger people who had strokes this way. Get out of the seat and move, lift knees high, stand up on toes to constrict calves, walk quickly... Stay well hydrated. And take an asprin daily. This swelling can come from, or causes, blood clots. Also, check out natural systemic enzymes like nattokinase and lumbrokinase (must be taken on an empty stomach). It is good for brain health, too, since it helps remove amyloid plaques. Plus, of course, everything Dr Berg says.
Dr Berg, first and foremost thank you! Secondly, I started having Edema when I turned 20. All on my right foot, and just prior to that, I developed jaundice. Recovered from jaundice, but then this and ever since I have had health issues, and eventually I lost my gallbladder. Now I have joint pains, autoimmune issues, massive migraines which I had since I was a child, it’s amazing I am still alive. Any suggestions?
Migraines are usually diet related. Common triggers are milk, cheese, chocolate, coffee and anything red like tomatoes, berries, red wine. U may not have to cut them out completely but just reduce considerably. Experiment.
Amazing! My mother had edema in her feet (not too severe, but still). I gave her the most immediate solution suggested - black tea, and within 2 days it was gone! Thanks a lot dr. Berg! ❤
Dear Dr Berg, I developed pitted edema in my left foot in the hight of my obesity years in my late twenties. I have managed to reduce it significantly thanks to intermittent fasting and losing weight. This week I've started a low carb diet and deleted ultra processed foods altogether. My foot still swells a little after a long day in work, now that it's warm, but it's truly so much better! I don't know if there's damage in my kidneys and liver, I'm trying hard to eat well, I during water with apple cider vinegar and I'll try dry fasting too. I will try eating the watermelon peel suggestion 🙏🍉 I eat a lot of vegetables and I love avocado 🙏 let's hope I can heal this wonderful body of mine which is a gift I must treat well
Considering how many people are affected by these conditions, I'm flabbergasted that its not considered a national health emergency! By this point, its not just the USA, its all over the globe.
When you rest during the day, or sleep at night. Sleep with your feet & knees above your Heart. Try a couch cushion if you don't have thick pillows. It makes a huge difference in getting rid of fluid from Edema in your feet, ankles, and shins.
My grandma has edema and Stubborn head as well 😩 when i tell her about keto she says "did you get this from the white man? I don't want it" She can barely walk and when she does it hurts every step i get heartbroken when i see her suffer like that 😭 She refused to give up dairy and carbs I'm slowly giving up oh her may god give me patience 🙏 😪
There are lots of influencers of different ethnicities that you could find if that is the only thing holding her up. The reality is most people regardless of race can't accept that everything we have been taught about food and nutrition has been completely wrong.
Great video as usual Dr Berg I’ve been watching your videos for many many many years and they have been very helpful along the way This video particularly pinpoints some good areas Anyway, wish you all the best Docto Berg 😺🙏👍
We don't in North America seem to consider parasites and viruses as potentially causing edema when the body holds onto fluid to protect itself, or as an inflammatory response. I have seen Ivermectin completely remove long standing edema from feet, ankles and the entire body. It is a nobel prize winning medication that is not being used. Other natural anti parasitic foods and meds also can help.
I use to cook with Vegetable oil in the morning and I stopped. Fried food is very bad for the body. I cut it out along with sugar and like you said the fluid came out like 18lbs of it. I am much better off than I was a year ago.
I'm a Type 1 diabetic and have had problems with too much insulin intake and high blood sugars for over 30 years and have never had problems with edema until recent years as I've started menopause and after eating wheat. I do not think sugar/insulin has anything to do with it. However, I do think it's related to potassium, because when I take potassium, the fluid will go down. It's wheat with potassium as the cure. I do not take 4700mg. I can not eat that much potassium in food, so I take as much as 1000mg potassium citrate spread throughout the day.
Thank you so much doctor berg for this video . I have been noticing this on my right lower leg , the doctor did some blood test on me to check my heart and kidneys , test was good , so confuse why I have this .
That could be a liver issue! I used to have insane itching after showering and breaking out in hives on my stomach chest and lower legs for about a year. It wasn’t the soap. I was not allergic to anything. Someone suggested I take milk thistle for a while. I did and within a couple of week the itching stopped and I never had that issue again. That was almost 20 years ago. I still use milk thistle now and then! Also if under your feet are itching but the itching feels like it’s on the inside and you can’t quite scratch that itch, your liver might be trying to tell you it needs attention!
Thank you for this video... 🙏 #7... And the doctors would tell I eat a lot and that is why I got gained weight so quickly (+35kg in 4.5 months where I did not change my diet really). 😢 You gave me hope to push this topic further, search for some other doctors and resolve it. Thank you! 🍀
My ankle and feet are swollen, feets are better cause swelling disappear some times. But the ankle are constantly swollen with very dry skin that is constantly scalling the color of the lower part of the legs turn greyish, what can be the cause. I am in Namibia and is a problem to get proper treatment in Government hospitals
Hello. Sorry, we do not have information/ video about this. We will add this to our video suggestion list. For now, please see this video about the food source of potassium: ua-cam.com/video/Jtn2Zebdyk4/v-deo.html -Dr. Berg's Support Team
I asked my Dr. just yesterday what was the cause of my edema, and she didn't know. I believe the Chemo I received messed up my kidneys and my gut bacteria, I had terrible side effects and got put in the hospital for 4 days because I had virtually no potassium in my blood. Had to have blood transfusions with potassium and magnesium drips. When I got out I had contracted covid, and she blames that for the 4 years of edema. And when asking for cure? I was told there was none, just control with diuretics, compression and massage.
I don't have edema (and LOVE my veggies) but interested to know, what type of potassium supplements to take if you want to increase your potassium? Also, can mineral (Redmond's) salt help add more potassium to your diet? Thanks!
Could you make a video to clarify the baking soda test to check if one has enough stomach acid? You made a video on this 2 weeks ago, but around 50% of its comments express confusion or disagreement.
Various on-line sources: "For the test, you'll drink half a glass (4 ounces) of cold water combined with a quarter teaspoon of baking soda, on an empty stomach. Then time how long it takes you to burp. If it takes longer than three to five minutes, the theory goes, you don't have enough stomach acid." I agree DB's previous wording was open to interpretation. (( Although personally I'd include a little protein as the stomach/tongue does sense what is being eaten and reacts accordingly. IMHO ))
@@SpamMouse Right. But there's massive disagreement on this despite this is such an important subject. I edited my request thanks to your answer. Hopefully this is clearer.
Omg 😳😳😳 my ankle is swollen and have back knee pain for long time, I'm surprised how i was reading about this early on Google , now Dr berg post the video
The doctors don't always want to know what causes you to have edema. Especially when it is a medication. I started keeping a record of medication and the correlation for my kidney problems was any vaccination made it much worse. Several years after I quit vaccines they tested my kidneys, there was no problem with the protein in my urine. The level was normal and no edema.
Hi Dr, can something be done to get your products available in India at the same price as in US? I mean the electrolyte powder or any other product cost about double the normal price which is way too expensive for us. Can anything be done?
I searched on this. I got 100s of videos. Then I searched the result to find Dr. Berg in the result. I have very high level of trust on Dr. Berg. He will explain it in such a way, I will end up gaining the valuable knowledge from him.
"Edema is swelling caused by too much fluid trapped in the body's tissues. Edema can affect any part of the body. But it's more likely to show up in the legs and feet. Medicines and pregnancy can cause edema." Mayo Clinic
Pineapple juice contains an enzyme called Bromelain, which triggers a body's ability to fight pain and reduce swelling. There is way to much sugar in Pineapples so I take a concentrated Bromelain supplement(capsule).
@@geneenbell9344 The fruit will have some fibre that might mediate the sugar/insulin spike, but as whole pineapple is only 6% sugar and mostly water I would eat the fruit rather than the juice. IMHO. 🍍
Thank you for covering Lipedema, & doing so well for as brief it was mentioned. My 8.5 y/o daughter loves to watch your videos before bed & she has said since 18 months that she wants to be a doctor someday. She said you showed my type 4 legs. And it made her so happy to be studying doctor videos and seeing something she’s seeing in real life. Thank you Doctor Berg.
@Dr. Berg I just started taking your nutritional yeast and your electrolyte powder. Ive noticed three things immediately: 1. Less overall body pain 2. Better sleep 3. Thirst. I' m curious about two things: 1. I was already drinking 64 ounces daily, but now easily drinking 96. Are the supplements causing this? 2. Would any of these supplements trigger autoimmune conditions?

Hi Dr can you share your contacts
I take a diuretic with potassium in it. Why couldn’t they give her the same? I’m sorry, that is such a shame.
Causes for edema:
1.Sugar & high carb diet, spike in insulin; take low carb diet
2.consuming lot of sodium; low potassium
3.low protein; fix kidney & liver problems
4.heart problem
5.thyroid; hyper & hypo
6.fat in the lower part of the body

I have secondary Lymphedema and yes MLD, compression garments, and workouts to help pump the lymphatic fluid up the leg really help. Our soleus muscle is our "2nd heart" and helps pump fluid so important to activate it. The other thing I do to keep my swelling way down is eat a very clean diet, especially avoiding sugar.
Thank you for sharing! This makes sense as I've recently switched to wide toebox, zero drop barefoot shoes to regain full range of motion in my feet and ultimately legs and just after a month I've noticed it really helping to keep the swelling down. Sadly I think people don't realize the damage we're doing to our feet, legs, and whole body when we wear modern shoes all day because they look good, have super cushions, or are designed for some specific sport
you meant.. when we wear modern shoes.
How?
@@Artbug hi thank you for sharing this, can you please also share what tipe of shoes you are actually wearing ..I'm really struggling with shoes specially during the summer with my sweollen foot..
Thank you so much
@sellydaniel1576 there are lots of good brands like vivo, xero, and merell, but the ones I got were from FeelGrounds. Things I look for in a shoe are thin flexible "barefoot" sole (which were surprisingly no thinner than some heels that i already wear), zero drop sole (flat sole, absolutely no heel), and a wide toe box (so your toes naturally spread as you walk instead of bind together unnaturally)
ITS AMAZING HOW DRS DONT TELL THIS INFO AT ALL.... ITS AGGRAVATING
They have 50 patients to see in 15 minute sessions.
It's by absolute design
I had this 10 0r 20 years ago, I never even knew it was a thing, I just thought it was weird my legs got dents in them when I pressed. I figured it was dehydration. I am ok with it now. Thank you so much Dr Berg PS A lot of things off with me slowly went away when I started taking B Vitamins every day and cut out Beer.
Do you take any other supplements with the B vitamins?

I have cleared my edema practicing what I learned watched predominantly your info casts. Man 🖤 knowledge is worthless unless you practice it and share it. I'm grateful you share. Thank you Sir.
I find it very assuring,Dr. Berg, that in your videos you mention your own inner demons and battles that you have had, i.e. edema, bad eating and drinking in the past, etc. It gives me such hope to see how you have been able to conquer your problems, so that I can conquer mine, and in your videos you cover so many issues that we could possibly think of as even minimal deterrents ❤
Bread and sugar caused my venous insufficiency and swelling in the knee down. Having vein ablation soon, in the meantime I went full keto and that pretty much cleared everything up but the damage was done. One that’s fixed and I stay on keto and keep working on strengthening the veins and circulation, hopefully it’ll be ok.
Way to go girl!! 🎉
@@markmeadows7093 thank you 😊 had the vein treatment in one leg and it’s all better, other leg in 2 weeks! Now I know how to prevent it from happening again, at least not as fast
@@GiGi-dd5cr stay on cardio too. I always enjoy people bettering themselves. You have done made too far to turn back now. That’s awesome.
Very timely video. I just got back from a 3 day trip with my husband and my legs and feet are very swollen. I did consume fast food, high carbs and sugar. This is helpful.
Naughty you!
My husband’s feet started to get swollen right after he was treated with steroids. Doctors never gave a reason of why . Now I understand.
Potential causes and remedies for edema:
1. Consuming a high-sugar, high-carb diet
What to do:
• Get on the ketogenic diet
2. Consuming sodium without potassium
What to do:
• Consume foods high in potassium, an electrolyte powder high in potassium, or take a potassium supplement (you need 4700 mg of potassium a day)
• Avoid MSG
3. Low protein in the blood
What to do:
• Focus on natural ways to support your liver and kidneys
4. Heart issues
What to do:
• Support your heart naturally
5. Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism
What to do:
• Consume iodine
• Support the thyroid
6. Lipedema
What to do:
• Go on a low-carb, high-fat diet
7. Medication side effects
What to do:
• Talk to your doctor about natural alternatives
8. Lymphedema
What to do:
• Try manual lymphatic drainage
• Wear compression garments
• Try low-level laser therapy
• Exercise consistently
Thank you Dr Berg!! 🐱👍🏿
Thanks for the summary. Have a nice day!
@@Drberg right on Dr Berg🐱👍🏿
Thank you so much for writing this for us! Have a nice day 😊
Thank you for your post👍🏾💯🇬🇧
Thank you for this video Dr Berg! Its a little sad to see there is so little research and understanding into lipedema and lymphadema, but reading these comments hearing other experiences is giving me some great leads😊 God bless!❤
Great! Feedback after 1 month?
Edema, or swelling caused by fluid buildup in the body, can be caused by a variety of factors. Heart failure, kidney disease, and liver disease can all disrupt the body's fluid balance and lead to edema. Pregnancy and certain medications can also cause fluid retention and edema. Inactivity and injuries to the legs or feet can also contribute to swelling. Lymphedema, a condition where the lymphatic system is unable to drain fluid properly, is another potential cause of edema. Treatment for edema depends on the underlying cause and may include medication, lifestyle changes, or medical procedures. Thank you for opening our eyes.
Go 😊😊
#6- pregnancy related;
the doctor ordered all kind of tests,monthly, with no clear answers to my Pillsbury Dough Boy transformation. I started at 125 lbs and gained 10 lbs of weight a month, did not eat sugar,had nausea for the entire 9 months + 2weeks,had heartburn the last three months of pregnancy. Could not eat chicken, it was a triggering word,sight,smell,could not read the word without having a nausea attack.
It so happened that a good friend of my husband's opened a Chinese restaurant, and we did frequently eat Chinese food,so I suspect MSG now. I don't eat fast food,and truly I didn't have much appetite, so how did I gain so much weight is puzzling. The edema in my lower legs was very bad towards the end of pregnancy. Had a healthy, 11lbs,23 inch long son 😊 .
(Should have changed my doctor, for a secon, or third opinion. )
Estrogen is extremely high in pregnancy and causes veinous reflux in many women.
My 2nd request for you to please devote an entire video to Lipedema. It is so important to get the word out on this condition.
Good idea!
Yes PLEASE dr Berg! 1 in 10 women suffer from Lipedema and we need a trusting doctor like you to help us.
@underhermantle3206 me too😢 badly need it.
Thanks Dr Berg for posting this. I had swelling in my ankles and decided to reduce salt and increase potassium. Literally a few days in and the difference has been dramatic. Swelling completely gone, feel so much better generally. Even my tinnitus has virtually gone. I've since looked it up and seen that too much salt reduces the blood flow to the ears and can cause tinnitus. This is a real game changer for me, I can't tell you how grateful I am.
What potassium ?
Gluconta or citrate ???
I've had putting edema in lower legs since I was 16! I'm now 23. I'm going to try the potassium thing so thank you! ☺️

@@Drberg .I really appreciate your effort to educate people. And thank you very much for the reply.👍
He’s made a few awesome videos on focus, on learning, on memory, on the brain & nervous system. These are probably some of those I’m most thankful for. I used to be unable to study normally. As unable to focus and sooooooo hungryyyy after only 1:45 of studying… Despite having eaten 3 big full plates of foods…. Right before study time! God! You are lucky to find him now.
Thank you for your information. I have DM2, insulineresistant, been on strict keto (5-10 gr carbs) IF and OMAD 3 times a week plus 1 egg day a week for over 3 month now. My body refuses to let go weight/water. After 3 weeks I finally lost 3 liters of water. Now in total 4.5 kg. Nothing happens on the scale, very frustrating. Almost carnivor, taking all the supplements, take collagene, k2, Kalium, B complex, iodine , D, inuline, magnesium, drink 2 liters a day, walk 10000-14000 steps a day. Still bloated feeling, still edema and not losing weight. I am lost😊
Have you tried upping your potassium? I take Dr. Berg's electrolyte drink mix that has 1,000 mg of potassium per serving. Most electrolyte drinks/mixes have more sodium than potassium, but not Dr. Berg's. I also eat an avocado every day and that really helps with getting potassium.

Kudos for acknowledging LIPedema. The majority of MDs have no idea what I'm talking about when I bring it up as it is not acknowledged in medical training. A very common female condition that leads to a host of complications including joint degeneration. Social isolation and consequent mental health issues as well. No treatment if it is not acknowledged. Incredibly frustrating.

I lost 38 pounds in less than 3 weeks. I figure it was Gluten and my reaction to Gluten was inflammation. When Thanksgiving to Christmas occurs I have more breads, cookies, gravy and my symptoms come back.
I bet! Some of Dr Berg’s videos on cravings may help.
When I eat wheat in any form my feet and legs swell. Have trouble walking and feel terrible. Takes a week to get back to normal.
This just happened to me when I drove on a long trip. My feet and ankles swelled up. I could feel my calves tightened.
Be careful when being still for more than 2 hours, even one hour or even a half. I know several younger people who had strokes this way. Get out of the seat and move, lift knees high, stand up on toes to constrict calves, walk quickly... Stay well hydrated. And take an asprin daily. This swelling can come from, or causes, blood clots. Also, check out natural systemic enzymes like nattokinase and lumbrokinase (must be taken on an empty stomach). It is good for brain health, too, since it helps remove amyloid plaques. Plus, of course, everything Dr Berg says.
@@risecopeman5409thank you
I have fluid retention in my ankles and it just started all of a sudden and wont go away no matter what i do
Dr Berg, first and foremost thank you! Secondly, I started having Edema when I turned 20. All on my right foot, and just prior to that, I developed jaundice. Recovered from jaundice, but then this and ever since I have had health issues, and eventually I lost my gallbladder. Now I have joint pains, autoimmune issues, massive migraines which I had since I was a child, it’s amazing I am still alive. Any suggestions?
Migraines are usually diet related. Common triggers are milk, cheese, chocolate, coffee and anything red like tomatoes, berries, red wine. U may not have to cut them out completely but just reduce considerably. Experiment.
Carnivore diet combined with intermittent fasting will heal your liver.
It fixed mine.
Amazing! My mother had edema in her feet (not too severe, but still). I gave her the most immediate solution suggested - black tea, and within 2 days it was gone! Thanks a lot dr. Berg! ❤
Can you tell please which black tea
@@rehanashah9835 an ordinary black tea. I used the simplest.
Dear Dr Berg, I developed pitted edema in my left foot in the hight of my obesity years in my late twenties. I have managed to reduce it significantly thanks to intermittent fasting and losing weight. This week I've started a low carb diet and deleted ultra processed foods altogether. My foot still swells a little after a long day in work, now that it's warm, but it's truly so much better! I don't know if there's damage in my kidneys and liver, I'm trying hard to eat well, I during water with apple cider vinegar and I'll try dry fasting too. I will try eating the watermelon peel suggestion 🙏🍉 I eat a lot of vegetables and I love avocado 🙏 let's hope I can heal this wonderful body of mine which is a gift I must treat well
Considering how many people are affected by these conditions, I'm flabbergasted that its not considered a national health emergency! By this point, its not just the USA, its all over the globe.
Spot on. It's everywhere

You really have best interest of people in your mind.
When you rest during the day, or sleep at night. Sleep with your feet & knees above your Heart. Try a couch cushion if you don't have thick pillows.

We don't in North America seem to consider parasites and viruses as potentially causing edema when the body holds onto fluid to protect itself, or as an inflammatory response. I have seen Ivermectin completely remove long standing edema from feet, ankles and the entire body. It is a nobel prize winning medication that is not being used. Other natural anti parasitic foods and meds also can help.
I have been thinking about this a lot lately and have the "horse" variety at home. Just6 wandering dosing and when and how long to rid the parasites.
I use to cook with Vegetable oil in the morning and I stopped. Fried food is very bad for the body. I cut it out along with sugar and like you said the fluid came out like 18lbs of it. I am much better off than I was a year ago.
Wow awesome 👏
I'm a Type 1 diabetic and have had problems with too much insulin intake and high blood sugars for over 30 years and have never had problems with edema until recent years as I've started menopause and after eating wheat. I do not think sugar/insulin has anything to do with it. However, I do think it's related to potassium, because when I take potassium, the fluid will go down. It's wheat with potassium as the cure. I do not take 4700mg. I can not eat that much potassium in food, so I take as much as 1000mg potassium citrate spread throughout the day.

What is the volume of each cup of the 7-10 cups of vegetables that we’re supposed to consume please in order to overcome edema?.
It's amazing what can happen when you begin to eat the food your body needs.
Thx doc, pls can you talk about itchy body especially after bathing
Try cold showers, the itching will disappear. Uncomfortable at first but after a short while you won't want to go back to warm/hot showers.
Allergic reaction to whatever your using to bath with...
@@slickrich1970 thx
See his videos on itchy skin and on water quality.
That could be a liver issue! I used to have insane itching after showering and breaking out in hives on my stomach chest and lower legs for about a year.
It wasn’t the soap. I was not allergic to anything.
Someone suggested I take milk thistle for a while. I did and within a couple of week the itching stopped and I never had that issue again.
That was almost 20 years ago. I still use milk thistle now and then!
Also if under your feet are itching but the itching feels like it’s on the inside and you can’t quite scratch that itch, your liver might be trying to tell you it needs attention!
Thank you for this video... 🙏

-Dr. Berg's Support Team
Best potassium is Potassium citrate or potassium bicarbonate. Other forms may be toxic to kidneys!
@@ianstuart5660What about potassium gluconate? Is bad for the kidney?
I asked my Dr. just yesterday what was the cause of my edema, and she didn't know. I believe the Chemo I received messed up my kidneys and my gut bacteria, I had terrible side effects and got put in the hospital for 4 days because I had virtually no potassium in my blood. Had to have blood transfusions with potassium and magnesium drips. When I got out I had contracted covid, and she blames that for the 4 years of edema. And when asking for cure? I was told there was none, just control with diuretics, compression and massage.
I don't have edema (and LOVE my veggies) but interested to know, what type of potassium supplements to take if you want to increase your potassium?
Also, can mineral (Redmond's) salt help add more potassium to your diet? Thanks!
Certain medicines have it listed as a common side effect. Recently going through this with my mom.
Could you make a video to clarify the baking soda test to check if one has enough stomach acid? You made a video on this 2 weeks ago, but around 50% of its comments express confusion or disagreement.
Hello how are you doing today?
Various on-line sources: "For the test, you'll drink half a glass (4 ounces) of cold water combined with a quarter teaspoon of baking soda, on an empty stomach. Then time how long it takes you to burp. If it takes longer than three to five minutes, the theory goes, you don't have enough stomach acid." I agree DB's previous wording was open to interpretation. (( Although personally I'd include a little protein as the stomach/tongue does sense what is being eaten and reacts accordingly. IMHO ))

The doctors don't always want to know what causes you to have edema. Especially when it is a medication.

Will eating more pineapples 🍍 help with swelling in the warmer months?
Pineapple juice contains an enzyme called Bromelain, which triggers a body's ability to fight pain and reduce swelling. There is way to much sugar in Pineapples so I take a concentrated Bromelain supplement(capsule).
is the pineapple fruit better than the pineapple juice when it comes to sugar?
@@geneenbell9344 The fruit will have some fibre that might mediate the sugar/insulin spike, but as whole pineapple is only 6% sugar and mostly water I would eat the fruit rather than the juice. IMHO. 🍍

@Dr. Berg I just started taking your nutritional yeast and your electrolyte powder. Ive noticed three things immediately: 1. Less overall body pain 2. Better sleep 3. Thirst. I' m curious about two things: 1. I was already drinking 64 ounces daily, but now easily drinking 96. Are the supplements causing this? 2. Would any of these supplements trigger autoimmune conditions?
Personally if I have his nutritional yeast for dinner, I can't sleep....I'm not Mr Berg, but I drink a bit less water after incorporating electrolytes
