I know you said don't take calcium supplements but what if you had a gastric bypass? What do you do? So I thought about taking red algae for calcium and collagen supplements. Can I ask your thoughts?
@@sarahjenkins8963 Hi Sarah, I am not a doctor, but I would say that you try to avoid the artificial calcium supplements like calcium carbonate, other "pill forms" or calcium fortified foods.. You'll get a useful list if you Google "calcium rich natural foods". I myself like yoghurt, cheese, dark leafy greens, seeds (hemp, pumpkin, sunflower), sardines, wild caught salmon... Probably discussed here already: study vitamin D3, K2, magnesium, boron, protein, proper exercise.
I am 69 years old, and I have lupus along with its partner-in-crime, osteoporosis. I take vitamin D3 and K2 and Zinc+. I also do weight-bearing exercises at the gym, along with weight lifting. My bone density has improved; 30% in my spine, 10% in my hips and 5% in my neck. I'm looking forward to my next bone density test early next year.
I'm 83 years old and I've been osteopenic for a couple years. I've started eating egg shells, taking a multivitamin,Vitamin D3 and K2 and a keto diet. I've always been a carnivior so meat is no problem. My one failing is I don't get enough exercise. I'm a retired Nurse so as a Supervisor I walked many miles every shift in a big Hospital. Now I make myself watch Dr. Berry over and over, And I'm back into my walking routine and lifting canned food for my arms. I'm determined to reverse this oseopenia before I leave this earth. Thank you Dr. Berry.
Hello from Australia. Have you reversed it yet. How are you going? How do you eat the egg shells and is that form of calcium absorbed. Can you be sure the egg shells are clean enough. That is do the chickens get fed GMO corn or the like? Here in Aus it is practically impossible to get healthy enough eggs.
I had to explain to my clinician why I'm taking K2 with D3 today. She said you can't be taking too much of that it thickens your blood. I said thats K1. - K2 helps D3 into the bone out of the bloodstream. She said 'well I've learned something new today!' I told her that I was surprised that this information wasn't automatically added to elderly patients advice to offer notes.
@@tanmusicch my understanding of carnivore is only animal products. No cereal. No grains, rice, or lentils. No vegetables. No fruit. So meat, animal fat, dairy, game. Not honey. Dr Berry has good videos on what is carnivore diet.
1. Collagen friendly diet (fatty meats, bone broth) 2. Exercise (walk, resistance, jumping on trampoline) 3. Stop smoking, soft drinks, alcohol (no more than 2 daily) 4. Take Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2 (MK7) 5. Fix your hormones (only with bio-identical) 6. Decrease your stress 7. Protect your sleep
And THIS is why UA-cam is (often) my doctor! Yes, I DO have a doctor (a naturopath) who I see in real life, but if I’m not also educating myself, I’m never going to get the best results.
My doctor diagnosed me with diabetes, after a GTT. Told me to go home for 3 months and to come back for another GTT in 12 months. No other information or guidance. In that 3 months YT tutorials helped me to reverse the diabetes. This week I had a full blood test for a specialist appointment. My doctor said everything looks great and said blood sugar levels are great but then you’ve never had any problems there. I nearly fell off the chair. I politely reminded her I had been confirmed as a diabetic 4 months ago. She was very embarrassed and I learnt to look after my own health and have a healthy skepticism of doctors.
My doc said nothing I can do to strengthen or rebuild bone. Just did a scan after 1 yr of eating right along with K2, D3, boron, trace minerals and lots of fresh eggs. Bone density has improved. Keep going. Your body will help you if you treat it right.
@@MargaretDoan-t7b yes. the liquid is best, goes in my water. Last time at the store, they were out and I got pill form Not near as good. (stop eating sugar)
I was diagnosed last year by a Kaiser doctor and have had some weakness while walking, but I too refuse to take big pharma drugs. i revised my diet a little, but after watching Dr. Berry, I am encouraged to eat more Magnesium-rich foods to get that Calcium and Vitamin D working so I can exercise more and be a healthier 79 YO. I'm grateful and excited.
I got a dexascan a few months ago from nagging from my dr. I had one many years ago with some osteopenia. Don’t even remember how much. I have been taking 5000+D3 for 6+ yrs now with K2 in form of m7 + magnesium. I am soon to be 80 and when i got dexascan results, i almost fainted! NORMAL! Dr said at end and keep doing what you are doing! Doing ketovore! Gave up sugar and carbs. Never going back!
The OBGYN is always trying to get me on the meds that cause jaws to break. I told the doctor's assistant that I would not take them. She hugged me on my way out of the office and she whispered in my ear that she wouldn't take them either.
Here are the main points summarised and the approx time in the video the point is raised. Thanks a lot Dr Berry!: Increases risk of osteoporosis: * Drinking more than 2 glasses of alcohol a day increases your risk of osteoporosis 5:50 * Smoking 6:00 * Vitamin D and K2 deficiency 6:20 * Lots of grains, sugars, and processed foods in your diet 6:35 * Inactivity 6:45 * Drinking soft drinks 7:15 * Consumption of Proton Pump Inhibitors and H2 Blocker medications that reduce atomic acidity 7:30 * Low hormones 8:35 * Diabetic, steroid and lithium medications 8:50 DEXA Scanner shows bone health How to prevent or reverse osteoporosis: * Avoid sugar and processed carbs and eat collagen and minerals from fatty meats and the skin from the meat as it contains collagen. Eat the gristle in meats. The membrane on the back of ribs is gristle. The membrane on a hard-boiled egg is pure collagen. Make a homemade bone broth. 11:05 * Eat good sources of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and boron minerals. Can take a supplement for the minerals, but don't take a Calcium supplement as they don't help. Calcium-rich foods are green foods. Using egg shells in bone broth adds more calcium. 12:20 * Weight-bearing and resistance training exercises like walking, lifting weights and strenuous activity (like a bit of jogging). Lots of running can decrease bone density. 13:05 * Stop smoking and drinking soft drinks 14:40 * Get off Diabetic, steroid and lithium medications 15:00 * Stop drinking more than 2 alcoholic drinks a day 15:10 * Take vitamin D if you're not eating enough pastured fatty foods and sunlight 15:35 * Have a vitamin K2 supplement like a MK7 15:55 * Fix your hormones. Get a hormone panel check if you are over 40. Low testosterone in men increases the risk of osteoporosis, as does low testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen in women. If your hormones are low take bioidentical hormones, not synthetic hormones as these increase the risk of cancer and heart disease 16:25 * Try to keep stress low and get adequate sleep. Chronic high cortisol decreases bone density 17:10 * Don't depend on prescription medications for osteoporosis 18:20
Yeah, he is. I wish I could find a doctor like this who takes my insurance. Those A.Hole doctors had me take Fosamax about 11 years ago, increasing my risk of fractures. I wish I knew then what I know today. Of course, God is AWESOME and hopefully Jesus is coming back soon!
@@aprilmay1700 so science makes our bones bend and not break? Science creates the rotation of good and bad bones to keep the body going? Science is what puts the cartilage in between the bones to prevent them from rubbing so we are not constantly in pain? I could keep going btw. Tell me something that man (Science) made that is more organized than what was naturally made. That in itself should tell you something.
@ I’ve read a variety of books and watched many videos on the subject. I don’t know that there is a dosage that is right for everyone. I take 2000 iu when I take them. I’m not consistent with supplements because I really try to get my nutrients from food and sunlight and fresh air and exercise.
Doc, you are BRILLIANT in the content you present and the way you talk to patients. I've been an R.N. over 20 years and have never seen another doc with 10% of your good info and good sense. You are a true healer, so rare.
RN here I'll second that and then some. We don't have the bio identical stuff available here though. ( in the middle of nowhere and then go out some more and you'll find us. )
I just did my bone density today and they told me I am borderline osteopenia. I’m scared to death so listening to you made me feel better that I can reverse this.
Why would anybody put a thumbs down on this? Everything he mentioned is true and informative. Explained so very well so it can be understood. This is more information in one video than I have found in other videos I have watched so far or other social venues. I thank you Dr. Berry. I am now going to watch your other videos.
I'm working hard to reverse my osteoporosis. I was put on an estrogen blocker due to breast cancer being estrogen fed. I have had surgery and 3 weeks of radiation and feeling good about things now. I decided to go off the blocker once I found out I had osteoporosis. I feel more secure about fighting cancer than I do replenishing bone. I've changed my diet and have upped my game in exercising. I've been exercising for over 20 years (I'm not 64), but now increasing my weights. I really enjoyed this video.
THANK YOU! Today I was diagnosed with osteoporisis and as a Christian I ALWAYS go against a doctor telling me I have something irreversalble because scripture says 'By HIS stripes I am healed'. I am on NO medications and lean more towards Chiropractors. I'd been indoors a lot and sendentary due to music productions and hot weather in Arizona. 2 years ago, I moved to Virginia where they have more townhomes and stairs. I fell down, broke wrist, which is when they discovered Osteopenia. I began taking Vitamin D3 as they said, but they never told me about the Vitamin K. Or Keto diet. I prayed in faith today to find answers and found your video....thanks for the hope and direction. Blessings
@@dragonwithagirltattoo598 I trust words that sound like HOPE. WHAT makes you think he's 'imaginary' and NOT a Doctor??? Do you not know that he could get sued for putting out bullcrap??? GEEZ. Are you a doctor that's pissed cuz you're losing patients or something?? Probably. I'm 65 and got to this age by using sense, not stupidity like a lot of young people. If it doesn't sound like hope, it's NOT coming from God. I was diagnosed long ago with LUPUS and would not accept it. Got prayer from lots of people and churches and within 1MONTH, they couldn't find a trace of LUPUS. Your name says alot about who YOU follow.
I am a 76 year old woman diagnosed with osteoporosis. Two specialists want to start me on a regimen of Evenity/Reclast OR Tymlos/Prolia infusions. None of them explain what these drugs do/don't do for me like you did in this video. My 'gut' has been screaming at me not to do these infusions and I will now follow my 'gut'. Thank you for such simply given information. I've never heard about K2-MK7 before. Will add that to my supplement regimen. I walk 2.5 miles every day and have for 30 years.
I'm in a similar situation. I'll be 72 in 3 mos. I usually walk a mile 5x a week but an injury had me home bound. Up until this year I never was even diagnosed for Pina, but porosity now. I want to try a regimen before taking those infusions, my gut doesn't want to take them either!
@@catherinecrow5662 Not one doctor that I've seen locally has mentioned osteoclasts or osteoblasts. I didn't know about them at all or their jobs. Do doctors get a kickback from pushing infusions and the like? Catherine Crow, if you're unable to walk, maybe consider lifting light weights with your arms. Even cans of soup will do in a pinch. I walk AND do small weight-lifting with real weights.
@geneandbobiallard9089 I've wondered about the BigPharm push myself. Just looking at the side effects of these infusion, heart attacks, 'death', etc !!!
My doctor discussed options and I made the decision to take Evenity. I had 12 months of injections. The injections are slightly uncomfortable but not awful. The first couple months I had a headache that lasted a day or so after the injections. I was also tired and had insomnia for a few days after the injections, and a little swelling near the injection site. I completed my last injection this month, and received my DEXA results today. DEXA improved in the spine by 41%. I meet with my doctor in a couple weeks to discuss all results and the plan going forward. I continue to eat a healthy diet, exercise, take Vitamin D, K2-MK7, magnesium, and calcium from my diet.
Hi, Dr. Barry, my name is Grant and I am 75 years old male and I consider you one of my doctors even though you don't know me. One of the wonderful benefits of UA-cam.Your videos are like having a doctor's appointment that I wished I could get from my own medical caregivers. I have followed your advice and even though I am 75 years old I believe that I could outwork out run out left and win a racquetball game Against 98% of anyone my age. Thank you keep up the good work.
Òi have osteoporosis I am in tablets for acid reflux have tried to half tablets and was cutting them own but I got very sick and had to take full tablet against I started vomiting and quiet sick HOW DO I GIVE THEM UP PLEASE I EAT WELL IRGANIC VEG NEVER ATE JUNK FOOD WOULD BE GREATFULL FOR ADVICE PLEASE
@@breedawhelan5916 Hi I also take tablets for acid reflux Omeprazole have been taking them for around 20 years!! I also have Osteoporosis but I have tried to give up the acid reflux tablets but it is just impossible. I would also like advice as well please.
I just found out I have osteopenia in my spine and osteoporosis in my right hip ... do not want to take medications for this and have been looking for normal ways to improve my situation ... have been looking for two months for good information and finally found it here ... Dr Berry, you are the best !!!!!!!!!! ... you covered everything and in a way that it's understandable for the common person ... thank you !
Dr. Berry, I owe you more than I can express in mere words. I was blessed to find you 6 months ago on UA-cam. I stated BBBE shortly after and feel amazing! I have lost 41 lbs, have increased energy, and skin is clearer & brighter. I will be 70 in September! THANK YOU, DR. BERRY! YOU ROCK!!! I have shared your channel with everyone I can think of. It's time for people to become educated to the truth of the PHD!
Wow! you blew my mind Dr. Berry! My teeth were breaking in pieces while chewing, so Im changing the way I think, eat, live and love everything! However I could not believe something in my body isn't able to Regenerate. You are life changing for so many people!!! Deep Gratitude!!
When you're a kid it feels like aging and sickness will never get you, only when you get your first backache around 30 do you go "so the legends are true..."
My son has really taken on the keto lifestyle and does a good amount of weight lifting. He doesn’t just take my word for stuff but does his own research.
I’m being treated with lupron shots every 3 months and arimidex everyday to prevent the breast cancer from returning. The oncologist told me to take vitamin D3, that’s it. I’ve gotten more info from you than any other doctor. Thank you so much! Will definitely share this video with more ppl 👍🏼
Also look at taking Milk Thistle. It doesn’t interfere with medications but does help your liver regenerate & detox after chemo drugs. Because of pollution, chemical additives, etc in our food I recommend everyone over age 45 take Milk Thistle.
@@rosalbadelriogarcia9598 Actually specifically from grass fed beef, free range chicken, wild caught - never farm raised fish, & egg shell membrane. There are Collagen products out now but look for Type I, II, III, IV, V, X is my understanding.
I have them both. It hurts so bad I had to take a pain and nerve pill gabapentin. I have been on this keto for about 4 days and I'm not as stiff as I use to be. I'm 74 years old. I also have Fibromyalgia, stage 3 kidney disease and a blocked heart with congestive heart failure. I really need this. I'm in an assisted living facility and all do is serve things with all lot of salt and sugar in it. I cook my own meals now and I love it. Not suppose to and they may kick me out. Anyway I hope and pray 🙏😌 we will get well. Thanks to Dr Berry 🙌🙏😀👍
This guy is amazing. I just love what he has to say. My holistic doctor recommended some of his info, too. Believe holistic doctors over Big Pharma taught doctors. Big Pharma PAYS to have doctors taught to prescribe their meds! Holistic doctors, like Dr Berry, teach you how to avoid and stop damaging your body and how to improve it. Thank you so much, Dr Berry!💓💞
Dr. Berry you are the only one I have found to explain what we can do more naturally than any other research I have studied. I am 75 yrs old and was once a certified herbalist. I have certifications in natural healing but none in nutritional healing with food only herbs. Thank you so much for this video. My God bless your practice. I have just been told I have osteopenea so your video has helped me a lot.
I was diagnosed with having osteoporosis in my lower back in my 30s. That was 30 years ago. I haven’t had any issues. At the time, they gave me a prescription for something for the osteoporosis but I didn’t feel good about taking it. I found out later that one of the side effects was a chance of broken bones!
I hav osteoporosis and recently had two severe wedge fractures at T6/7 really painful and it’s still painful 7 months later My skin feel numb to Most of the pain is around my left shoulder blade I am now taking vitamin d and aldrenateacid I think Iv spelt that wrong Can I take any other supplements to build my bone I can only walk 10 min a day as I have severe emphysema and can’t walk far I’m also have an eating disorder so I don’t have a god relationship with food I don’t drink I stopped smoking 8 months ago due to being very ill with a chest infection respiratory failure and pneumonia I then got covid just after recovery but I lost my mobility an awfull lot after covid I get very breathless doing nothing somedays others I can walk just just distance I need sone advise on what supplements to take I’m really scared my spine is going to fracture again and my kyphosis gets worse I didn’t have kyphosis last yr so I’m assuming it caused by the fracture this yr ? Help please and are dried prunes food
I’ll bet that was fosamax! I had the same experience! I was shocked to see the side effect was exactly what I was trying to prevent! I stopped taking them immediately
Your charm helps those such as myself become captivated to your every word. Praise God for that. I love a man who keeps his wife in the convo. You are educated, personable and caring. Love your anti- vaping and smoking clips. All good things to you, my friend.
I have been taking D3 with MK-7 for some time. I recently began taking this combination just before going to bed after listening to videos by Dr. Stasha Gominak. I do not get up as often at night to take care of my bladder. I wake up in the morning feeling as if I actually slept. Taking D3 before the body's repair cycle (sleep) may be very helpful for overall health.
OH my gosh this is unbelievable!!!!! Yes this is most encouraging !!!! It makes me feel like I have a new lease on life!!!! Will listen again and again and follow your suggestions....THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
@@sl4983 Osteoporosis is caused by consuming acid forming animal protein. And refined junk food. Nothing you can take helps unless the acid forming foods are eliminated!
I totally agree with all of this as a nurse. And if fact, I even wrote a book called “Peace Management” because of the negative impact of stress on the body. Thank you for this video!!!
I saw my doctor yesterday and he said my bone density test shows that I have osteoporosis. He said that I can reverse osteopenia but not osteoporosis. He said that no diet, no exercise, no supplements will help me. He said the only thing that will help is drugs! He said that at my age (I’m 73), if I fall and break a hip, I will NEVER recover from it. So I can just wait until I fracture a bone or take the meds he’s recommending to prevent that. (His words). He also said, “I don’t want to scare you but your morbidity percentage for the next five years is about the same as if you had breast cancer.” I reminded him that I did have breast cancer 33 years ago and I beat it through diet and exercise - no chemo! So this is the kind of medical advice that I am dealing with. Very frustrating. Unfortunately, I can’t eat eggs and poultry due to a severe allergy so I’ll need to work around that.
I'm 77. Two years ago I was thrown from a horse onto the road shoulder - a couple of scrapes and small bruises. A few weeks ago I fell hard onto concrete entirely on my left knee - a little swelling and slight bruise. In my 20's I had arthritis until I got into healthy living, and I have had zero arthritis ever since. I have been a jogger and exerciser for 50 years. I started low carb over 40 years ago, (with lapses), and gradually moved to keto and now 90% carnivore. No sugar, starch, grains, seed oils, alcohol or smoking. Almost all home-prepared whole foods, plus supplements. You must take charge of your health and refuse the doctor's fear mongering. God bless ❤️🙏❤️ PS just for instance, my 2 meals today were frozen cheeseburgers reheated in home-made beef bone broth and butter, for dinner I added crumbled bacon. 😋 Yesterday I made a keto soup that was a hit at a church potluck - creamy cheddar/broccoli with added chicken (but spicy pork sausage would be great). My hubby eats carbs but we have no problem managing meals mostly together.
More likely Dr Berry should have international status, especially here in the UK where we can no longer even see our Drs! Thank God we have UA-cam as a medium!
NOOOOOO, please. I don't want him to become a joke, a cheap robot to entertain us. Please, he is a dignify individual that is not out there for the rich. Actually we are the mass, rich people are a small percentage.
This has been so helpful. I was diagnosed 9 months ago at 53 with Osteoporosis and the dr lay out a lifetime plan of Forteo, a bisphosphonate, followed by Prolia for the rest of my life! I thought my life as I knew it was over. After much research and being pointed in the direction of the right dr, I no longer feel that way. The only break I have ever suffered was a torsion break and an ACL tear as a result of a fall skiing. I am taking no meds other that a high quality calcium, D k2, Collagen Peptides,and Hydrochlorothiazide as they found my kidneys were leaking calcium. That was something I didn’t hear you mention and I’d love to hear how much you think that contributed to my Osteoporosis. I don’t smoke , but I did for many years, never drink soda, haven’t had an alcoholic drink in 15 years and lift weights 3x a week and walk 2 miles every day. However I am post menopausal and my estrogen is tanked. Can’t take hormones because of breast cancer in 2 aunts puts me at higher risk. Thank you for this very informative video.
Thank you so much for this video on Osteoporosis. Just recently had a bone scan done and it revealed i have osteopenia in my left hip and lower spine/back. I have been doing exercises daily for flexibility, balance, and bone strengthening. Your tips are most helpful. I made note of what you stated in the steps you suggested for strengthening bone density.
Get info now bf you break that femur stem like me not joking not the pain the sedentary. I do all the exercises 3X and my upper body weight resistance . Special exercises to do see , Bob and Brad Utubes. March. Drop from chin up bar any vibration plates. Ride recombinant bike at first for cardio. Gym membership. Best bone density is found in pole vaulting bc of that stimulates bone growth. I wish I had been forewarned osteopenia.
Thank you for sharing this information Doctor! This should be taught to everyone so they don’t end up with these issues (unless genetic). The food supply has been and continues to make people sick. We need to be educated BEFORE the damage is done!
i'm 62, work as a gardener, frequently load-bearing work. I also metal detect! Great exercise because you are walking and swinging a detector and carrying a spade for hours. In my outdoor work and hobby I often trip and fall and I always bounce. Women after menopause have to do load bearing exercise. Carry that shopping.
At age 42 a bad auto accident left be pretty bad shape, I had to give up my nursing career of 31 yrs & have a hip replacement, now I have cervical & lumbar degeneration of the spine due to being ejected from the truck when it rolled. So far I’ve lost 1.5” in height and I’ve been getting? (Steroid) injections in my spine for pain. Just recently I noticed my thigh muscles we’re getting very soft, I’ve read where steroids will do this. Any advice? I’m due for another injection next week & seriously thinking of canceling my appointment. I go to a chiropractor also which keeps me going, he told me that he doesn’t see how I am walking, (he looked at my spinal xrays). I think in order to get my pain meds, you got to take the injections, which is wrong.
@@michelles2299 You need to read the comment properly. It is if you carry a spade and a metal detector. it is if you carry shopping. It is if you push a wheel barrow full of weeds.
@@michelles2299 Just wrong.... Google and read more references before making false statements. "But for an aerobic activity to benefit your bones, it needs to be weight bearing." This means you are on your feet, moving your body against gravity. Dancing and walking are weight-bearing activities, but cycling and swimming are not."
We humans can be a participant in every area of our lives especially our mental and physical health. My practitioner and I are partners this means I help my doctor take care of me by doing my research and paying attention to my total body. Thanks for sharing such needed knowledge. Happy 2024
Thank you so much. Your helpful step by step how to take care of the osteoporosis is so simple and easy to understand. So hard to get rid of carbs, but I will try. God bless you.
I have a friend who is 93 years old. A former scientist, he strongly recommends taking borax diluted in filtered water every day. He showed me his bone density scans before and after taking borax. He had osteopenia before taking boron. He showed me his scan after taking borax for awhile. His bone density is better than mine and I am 25 years younger than he is! He is very active for his age and looks much younger than his age.
Dr Berry - thank you so much for this video. I recently broke my wrist after an horrendous fall in the garden and was subsequently given a DEXA scan. The results indicated severe osteoporosis of the spine and osteopenia in my neck and hip. I’m 69 years’ old and the only treatment I was offered was a Zoledronic acid (Aclasta) infusion. The diagnosis was scary and I was very upset about it. I’ve been reading the literature I was given by the hospital about the Zoledronic acid and the side effects listed are numerous and very concerning ie, the jaw bone exposure risk, thigh bone fractures and a common one being Atrial Fibrillation! (1 in 10 people). I understand this can lead to strokes. After watching your video, I have decided not to have the infusion and will do my best to improve/reverse my osteoporosis by natural means. Thank you again
Had a fall 6months ago open fracture so reduced mobility my exray is suggestive of low bone density your video is very helpful and will follow your advice thanks
Me too! Not taking any meds. I've had three spinal fractures in 4 years. The healing process can be 3 months each time but I do get better, not perfect i still have pain. It started when I was 62. I'm going to try this carnivore diet and see if I can get more improvement.
@@iowafarmgirlinPA I’m doing ok but getting lots of flack and negativity from doctors and physios who keep trying to persuade me to have the infusion. I’m still resisting it, though. I have unexplained pains in both my lower legs which is a bit concerning and which stopped me walking for a while but despite the pains I’ve started walking again and am trying to ignore the pains. I’m very aware of any trip hazards around and I keep alert to that. I do weight bearing exercises with a stretch band and take various supplements. I do my best not to bend over from the waist (as I always did) so as to protect my spine. I’m just basically keeping my fingers crossed. 😊🤞
I'm only 29 but 10+ years of having an eating disorder and poor digestion as well as a few years of being vegan have reduced my bone density. I'm hoping that I'll be able to reverse at least some of the damage.
You have the gift of now learning about good health at a young age! I did not discover Dr. Berry and all the others until age 62, three years ago, and I have been able to reverse many things already. My mantra now is “ eat a Proper Human Diet”! Thanks to Dr. Berry❤
I have Ostopenia , and doctors haven’t really taught me how to build bone 🦴 or even less reverse it , I want meaningful bone density 🙏🏼thanks again for another easy to understand health lesson ! Right before this , I just did a meditation for perfect 👌🏻 health , then first thing I see Is this video , Dr Berry , you are working for GOD, I took notes and didnt know any of this !!! Extremely grateful , one of your many subscribers !!! 👋🏻👌🏻😃☺️😊🙏🏼
I always appreciate the teaching of Dr Berry. He's very very thorough. Like a good teacher, he doesn't assume you know anything, because some people have been taught wrongly. The message is for everyone, even the totally misinformed. And for some, it's very important to know the "why" before we will do the "what". I try to be a very informed person; but sometimes, information has changed.
I am not sure I agree with some of Dr Berrys talking points. As you say, information must always be updated and can change. He states that being sedentary can lead to osteoporosis because the bones are not stressed enough, implying that stressing bones increasing bone health. However, I have noticed that being lazy can cause tension or stress, at least on the muscles, perhaps even the bones. But laziness does not strengthen muscles even though it stresses or strains them. Likewise, perhaps this can be extrapolated to bones, perhaps exercise helps bones but not because of the stress, but due to other factors. I am not sure though.
Blood flow…it’s a different type of stress that a sedentary lifestyle puts on the bones…exercise is a more uniform type of stress that brings more blood flow and nutrients to the bones…the body’s system gets lazy too..
I finally seen a real doc talking instead of a good looking model spreading misleading information on you tube. Everything you said is real science and evidenced based .Thank you doc !
I’m 59 and have disc degenerative disease, osteopenia, spinal stenosis, and osteoporosis now. I’ve had some of these for years. I have had 3 back surgeries to replace several discs in my late 30’s early 40’s. My pain now daily is a 7. I am up for about 6 hours off and on each day. I can’t exercise hardly much at all. I’ll be 60 in may and I hope this will help me to reverse or slow down the damage. Ty for this video. Until these things started hurting and slowing my life down I thought nothing about them.
Same here. Same diagnosis and 3 spinal fusions with disc removal and vertebral disection with titanium cages and bone grafts. I also have pain all the time, but I force myself to walk daily and bike about 60 miles a week. I don't want to get worse. I have osteopenia and don't want it to get worse. I don't drink or smoke. I cook all of our food, watch carbs and sugars. Nothing hydrogenated or overly processed.
So sorry for your pain. Hope you feel better and free of pain in the future. The "Now" company has an organic stevia that is very good (just need a little). Do some research on stevia and bones. When I was 68, my chiropractor was surprised at my full body xray, and said I had the bones of a woman In my 30s. He kept asking me how I eat. I've been a vegetarian for 38, almost 39 years (then about 34 years)., but he said that being vegetarian should not cause stronger bones. Never could figure out why my bones were strong for my age. I didn't think about using stevia in my tea everyday. I later saw some recent research on stevia and how farmers give it to their chickens so the eggs won't break. Also, never drink cold drinks, just tea with stevia. I also use Internal Harmony that you rub on everyday. I'm almost 73 and very strong and healthy, so hopefully this will help you, too.
@@christinemott8799 I’m sorry. I know how bad having all this hurts. And you’ve probably had it for awhile and after a long time the pain wears you down and life doesn’t seem worth much anymore. Oh to be young and strong again. I’ll pray for you and you do these exercises. Hopefully we have time to help our backs not get worse.
I am 60 and despite losing my ovaries to cancer 20 yrs ago, I've only recently had my first Dexa scan (new Dr!). I have 'SEVERE' osteoporosis... My diet has always been excellent (very intentional) and I exercise (power walk and jog) daily... but l have had no estrogen since I was 40. I gather it is too late to do anything about the hormone situation... Dr recommend more jogging . This video is the first actually education on osteoporosis I have had. Thank-you for making it!
I have osteoporosis. Was on fosomax for about a year. It started deteriorating my jaw bone causing me severe dental issues. Stopped taking it. Trying to build up my bone density through diet and exercise. Great video thank you.
Concentrate on magnesium in the diet. Not calcium. Eat an alkaline forming diet. Lots of raw fruits and veggies. Nuts and seeds and whole grains. Avoid all dairy except butter. Reduce or eliminate meat. Exercise before breakfast.
@@danarzechula3769 Most adults develop an intolerance to milk. And any kind of cheese is a highly concentrated form of milk. Also there are no health benefits from consuming milk.
I’m 62. Diagnosed with Osteopenia last year. Went and got Bio identical hormones last week. Saw my rheumatoidologist today and she was actually upset that I got the bio identical hormones. I have been on dexamethasone for over a year and have gained 22#. I told her I was gonna start Keto she was discouraging me from that also. I left there feeling hopeless, but after watching your video, I decided that I am going to take control of my health the best way I see fit. Thank you for your honesty.
@@kimberlymiller3248 I’m 65 and just got a dexascan and reversed by osteopenia. Strength and aerobic Exercise for an hour a day 5 days a week, take D and K2, eat only Whole Foods, low salt, low sugar, mostly veggies, small amounts of salmon, tofu and eggs whites. No meat. Also take bio identical hormone replacement. Bone density is now normal.
yep, give those osteoclasts and osteoblasts a work out. Recipe for bones: 1. Sunshine ( your body's own vitamin D) 2. Vitamin C 3. Calcium and Magnesium. 4. Resistance
As soon as you said osteoporosis can be reversed I started to cry Because I'm scared and I really really really hope I can reverse this I'm doing everything I can with diet exercise currently I can't take supplements for 3 months but when I can start taking supplements again I really hope I can reverse this and heal my bones for what I've done to them, just like we want people to forgive us I hope our bodies can forgive us too
So you do need to be careful drinking coffee when taking it with certain vitamins. I take all my zinc and vitamins at night, and I have coffee during the day.
Your video has helped my husband and I to understand my diagnosis of osteoporosis. Thank you so much for your tips on stopping/reversing my diagnosis WITHOUT prescribed medications.
This too is Jenny Roberts and I have osteoporosis now for 7 years but as a South African we don't very good medication. Can you please tell me what you would recommend ??
Thank you for this podcast. I never beleived the drug treatment options were worth the risk. I was told to take vitamin d and calcium plus exercise to slow down the loss however the approach was vague. I stared my own research and found information to create a plan to stop and hopefully reverse my diagnosis which includes a higher dose of vitamin d3, k2 and some trace minerals. I continue to exercise and flow a healthy keto diet.
@@bindesond3844 I take 20000 ui of d3 in drops and 200 of k2 daily. I get my calcium from my veggies. I look to my nails, skin for signs of nutrient deficiencies too.
@@dianetaillefer9512 This is great- thank you! I added 75mg of boron earlier this year. Too soon for a DXA scan difference, but I'm hoping it helps in the long run. I'm researching collagen today, as I've gots ome hypermobility that may be contributing to the whole bone mess.
I've just been diagnosed with osteopenia and osteoporosis in the neck. This follows radiotherapy for tonsil cancer 14 years ago. The pain has been increasing since that time. Dr Berry's advice sounds pretty good to me.
Thank you Dr. Berry for the informative video. We have a wellness center in Memphis and incorporated the biodensity program 2 years for our patients. The biodensity equipment focuses on creating short load bearing exercises that can reshape the bone and help to ramp up the osteoblasts as well. Love the analogy on the bricks in the home not creating the meaningful bone that is needed. For my clients, I'm compared the bisphosphonate medication reaction to that of a sponge that while it might appear to make the bone density stronger via a denser mass, in actuality it's akin to a dry brittle sponge that may look dense but can become easier to break over time. We have recently added the nutritional component to our osteoporosis care program and appreciate your simple and straight forward tips.
@@h.k.2278 He said he is in Memphis, Tennessee. I've been searching for a physician or other practitioner here for a year with no luck so I'll try to find this group - I hope they are still in existence
Absolutely! The object of treatment is stronger bones not whiter x-rays. You could use Tippex for perfect x-rays, but chalky calcium gives no strength.
Excellent advice. Look forward to hearing more. I am a 72 yr. old female. I was put on Fosamax, 70mg. I had to stop it because of reactions from it. I broke out with a rash. Itching like a dog who has fleas. I have no pets. I was dizzy. I had trouble sleeping. So, I am drinking lots of water to get it out of my body. And, am looking at reversing this.Thank you for your video. Keep em coming.
I know what you say is absolutely true. I reversed my numbers on my scan to my doctor's surprise about 5 years ago. I didn't know about osteoclasts and osteoblasts, but I do now. Thank you.
How informative! My younger sister has osteoporosis. She smoked up until last june/22, took antacids all day and night, everyday, ate nothing but processed JUNK food. and now, shes homeless, and living in my home because she went blind, partially deaf, and has advanced stage RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.
You’ve given me hope! I refused the medication because of the awful potential side effects. Medics not happy at all. I take vit D3 and do some walking but probably not enough but usually about 5 miles at each outing. I eat very healthily do not drink or smoke. I am a young 73 and slim build. I liked the bit about bone broth and fatty meat. Great believer in food is our medicine so I’ll give that a go. Thank you so much. I don’t get enough sunshine because I live in the UK and it just loves to rain here 😊 My T score has now dropped from osteopenia to osteoporosis -2.5 I think. But I will carry on with the vitamin D as I was very low. I’m non dairy too but eat loads of greens. I’m a fairly good girl 👍🤗
Perhaps instead of long walks (which are great for weight loss), switch to shorter walks + weight-bearing exercises for increasing bone density. Good luck!
Thank you so much for this. I was diagnosed with Ostopenia and 2.6 Osteoporosis in my lower back. Dr right away wanted to prescribe Fosamax and I said no. Then he prescribed Evista and after watching this I most definitely will not be taking these drugs. I do power walks (4miles) 5 days a week plus cardio and light weight training. I think this is what kept this from being worse than it is. I have Arthritis pretty bad but I push through.
Drink Turmeric tea. 1 tsp. Turmeric in a cup with a small pinch of black pepper. Pour on hot water. The black pepper increases the Turmeric’s ability to cross the blood brain barrier. If you add some fat (MCT oil, coconut oil heavy cream) you get a double whammy for crossing the blood brain barrier. I’ve seen a lady that had crippled fingers drink the Turmeric tea and resulted in having normal fingers. I was truly amazed.
This is by far, the best most cohesive most impactful most motivating and most educating osteopenia video, i have ever watched. This has been so helpful. If only he was my doctor i swear. Thank you for brings vital knowledge and hope for us. Much appreciated ❤
Thank you, Dr. Berry, for this information packed video. I have all five unalterable risk factors. I have been identified as having slight osteopenia. You provide such important information for the public. I really appreciate all of your information-packed videos. This one hits very close. My mother has over 300 tiny fractures in her spine. I am already doing a few of the proactive steps to help myself but merely based on my own research. I am not trying to live forever. I just want to have the best health I can and then to drop dead without lingering. Many thanks for this.
I've been taking K2, D3, magnesium for over 4 years now. My bone scan says I have osteopenia. But here's the thing. Before the pandemic we were camping at a place called Rock Creek. I tripped over rocks (which were everywhere) a couple of times and landed on my behind or my elbow. (I don't drink. The doctor thought I did.) Got a few bruises. That's it. This December we were spackling our eaves to paint before we got aluminum gutters installed (for rain tanks). I fell off the ladder (thought I was on the last step but wasn't.) I fell on my butt on cement and rolled on my back. I had my husband help me up. (I'm 72.) I got up, felt no pain, and got right back to work. The next day we painted the eaves. I did not even have the slightest pain. I guess I'm lucky. I have never broken a bone in my entire life yet. I have been taking sea silica that may help with bone density. I also do 200 rows on a rowing machine 5 days a week for quite a few years now. Maybe I have good muscle mass around my bones. I won't take the medication they wanted me to take. I know people who had bad effects from it.
Thank you so much :) Just to let you know that I had an appointment with my doctor yesterday following my dexa scan and it's confirmed. No more osteoporosis, so I know it can be done.
@@seasands3486 Sorry I took so long ;) I just followed a strict ketogenic diet since january 2019. I reversed my T2 diabetes, my hypertension, my cholesterol and my osteoporosis and I didn't mention my arthritis ;)
I'm getting a second opinion because I'm extremely healthy never had menopausal issues, always eating decent and working out is my passion doctor said your not on any medication then schedule me for bone density and said I have osteoporosis and prescribe me some medications and I canceled the medication I don't take meds, I'm going to keep using alternative stuff
Really enjoyed this talk - I was diagnosed with OP in 2010 and told by OP consultant to take Alendronic Acid for 5 years - that was all. So i did my own research and found out the reason I had OP was because of prescription meds for epilepsy. I cannot come off those drugs, but I had a loading dose of Vit D and take 2000IUs of Vit D a day to counteract the adverse effect of epilepsy meds. I went to a women clinic that advises on diet and OP - and gave up all processed high carb food (I make cakes from vegetables instead). Also started weight lifting in the gym. With 6 years I was no longer osteoporotic. So thrilled that you as a doctor are telling your patients the truth about OP - that it can be reversed if, and only if, the person with OP deciedes to take steps to reverse it.
@@hateanimalabuse I have never heard of those two meds - but people taking epilepsy meds should be informed of the risk of osteoporosis and how to counteract that risk. Oh dear..
@@jessideb333 The most recent meds I am on is Primidone sometimes called Mysoline. But it is epilepsy drugs in general that can cause accelerated bone loss AFTER the menopause. It is normal to lose bone density as you age, but the epilepsy meds can accelerate the loss of bone. Basically, and I am not a doctor - this is what I have learnt, after menopause when oestrogen levels your body deplete, your body stops being able to absorb Vit D, and without Vit D in your body you cannot utilise the calcium (essential for bone growth). Read Dr Marilyn Glenville's book Osteoporosis How to prevent , treat and reverse it. I went to Dr Glenville's clinic and had a consultation, found out my Vit D was 14.7nmol, and it should be between 75-125 nmol, had a loading dose of Vit D (30,000IUs) followed by 2,000 IUs a day. Vit D3 is only absorbed with oil, so I used to buy Carlson Vit D3 oil capsules from the USA - now I can get them on Amazon. I also take Vit K, boron and magnesium. Nutrition - I have totally altered my diet to avoid eating food that create acid ash in your stomach - like cheddar cheese. Basically the food I eat would be a banquet for a monkey - lots of veg, some fruit, seeds and nuts. I do have meat sometimes. But I never eat processed food like bread or microwaved meals. Exercise - as my bones were so bad I took up weightlifting, but SLOW weights. Now I am hopefully OK.

I know you said don't take calcium supplements but what if you had a gastric bypass? What do you do? So I thought about taking red algae for calcium and collagen supplements. Can I ask your thoughts?
@@sarahjenkins8963 Hi Sarah, I am not a doctor, but I would say that you try to avoid the artificial calcium supplements like calcium carbonate, other "pill forms" or calcium fortified foods..
You'll get a useful list if you Google "calcium rich natural foods".
I myself like yoghurt, cheese, dark leafy greens, seeds (hemp, pumpkin, sunflower), sardines, wild caught salmon...
Probably discussed here already: study vitamin D3, K2, magnesium, boron, protein, proper exercise.
Thanks. Youre doing Gods work. For everyone else reading this that wants to go even further, go find the hidden herbs by Anette Ray.
I am 69 years old, and I have lupus along with its partner-in-crime, osteoporosis. I take vitamin D3 and K2 and Zinc+. I also do weight-bearing exercises at the gym, along with weight lifting. My bone density has improved; 30% in my spine, 10% in my hips and 5% in my neck. I'm looking forward to my next bone density test early next year.
Happy for you ! however you also need magnesium and boron .

I'm 83 years old and I've been osteopenic for a couple years. I've started eating egg shells, taking a multivitamin,Vitamin D3 and K2 and a keto diet. I've always been a carnivior so meat is no problem. My one failing is I don't get enough exercise. I'm a retired Nurse so as a Supervisor I walked many miles every shift in a big Hospital. Now I make myself watch Dr. Berry over and over, And I'm back into my walking routine and lifting canned food for my arms. I'm determined to reverse this oseopenia before I leave this earth. Thank you Dr. Berry.
Could you please explain how you do the lifting canned foods routine to strengthen your arms? God bless you, keep on keepin' on!!!
Egg shells are calcium carbonate. Look that up. It's not very good for you
Hello from Australia. Have you reversed it yet. How are you going? How do you eat the egg shells and is that form of calcium absorbed. Can you be sure the egg shells are clean enough. That is do the chickens get fed GMO corn or the like? Here in Aus it is practically impossible to get healthy enough eggs.
I had to explain to my clinician why I'm taking K2 with D3 today. She said you can't be taking too much of that it thickens your blood. I said thats K1. - K2 helps D3 into the bone out of the bloodstream. She said 'well I've learned something new today!' I told her that I was surprised that this information wasn't automatically added to elderly patients advice to offer notes.
@@tanmusicch my understanding of carnivore is only animal products. No cereal. No grains, rice, or lentils. No vegetables. No fruit. So meat, animal fat, dairy, game. Not honey. Dr Berry has good videos on what is carnivore diet.
1. Collagen friendly diet (fatty meats, bone broth)
2. Exercise (walk, resistance, jumping on trampoline)
3. Stop smoking, soft drinks, alcohol (no more than 2 daily)
4. Take Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2 (MK7)
5. Fix your hormones (only with bio-identical)
6. Decrease your stress
7. Protect your sleep
Thanks so much ❤️
Exactly what I was looking for: a list summary to post on my fridge. Thanks.
Thnx for the talking points. Am on it!❤️
All but the alcohol sounds like a good plan. Alcohol will destroy your bones, along with just about everything else. No amount of alcohol is safe.
Bioidentical hormones were horrible for me. Never again!
This doctor is what a doctor *_should_* be, but _very few_ are.
Amen and AMEN!!!! ❤
What does this mean?
@@stretch1807 Really, you don't know?
@@stretch1807 it means HONEST.
So true. What has happened to the medical field? Dr. Berry talks like he really cares...
And THIS is why UA-cam is (often) my doctor!
Yes, I DO have a doctor (a naturopath) who I see in real life, but if I’m not also educating myself, I’m never going to get the best results.
My Dr doesn’t like me watching listening to UA-cam 😂😂
My doctor diagnosed me with diabetes, after a GTT. Told me to go home for 3 months and to come back for another GTT in 12 months. No other information or guidance. In that 3 months YT tutorials helped me to reverse the diabetes. This week I had a full blood test for a specialist appointment. My doctor said everything looks great and said blood sugar levels are great but then you’ve never had any problems there. I nearly fell off the chair. I politely reminded her I had been confirmed as a diabetic 4 months ago. She was very embarrassed and I learnt to look after my own health and have a healthy skepticism of doctors.
Pathetic, but true
My doc said nothing I can do to strengthen or rebuild bone. Just did a scan after 1 yr of eating right along with K2, D3, boron, trace minerals and lots of fresh eggs. Bone density has improved. Keep going. Your body will help you if you treat it right.
Eating 6 prunes daily for a year -and you’re bones will strengthen 💯👍💜
Yes I read that about prunes@@OrganicAdaptogen
So will your blood sugar
@@Lisafreeflyer Do you use a trace mineral supplement?
@@MargaretDoan-t7b yes. the liquid is best, goes in my water. Last time at the store, they were out and I got pill form Not near as good. (stop eating sugar)
I enjoyed hearing some positive reinforcement about reversing osteoporosis. I am 82 and refused to take medications five years ago.
I was diagnosed last year by a Kaiser doctor and have had some weakness while walking, but I too refuse to take big pharma drugs. i revised my diet a little, but after watching Dr. Berry, I am encouraged to eat more Magnesium-rich foods to get that Calcium and Vitamin D working so I can exercise more and be a healthier 79 YO. I'm grateful and excited.
Drs never tell you how to reverse anything …
I got a dexascan a few months ago from nagging from my dr. I had one many years ago with some osteopenia. Don’t even remember how much. I have been taking 5000+D3 for 6+ yrs now with K2 in form of m7 + magnesium. I am soon to be 80 and when i got dexascan results, i almost fainted! NORMAL! Dr said at end and keep doing what you are doing! Doing ketovore! Gave up sugar and carbs. Never going back!
The OBGYN is always trying to get me on the meds that cause jaws to break. I told the doctor's assistant that I would not take them. She hugged me on my way out of the office and she whispered in my ear that she wouldn't take them either.
Are those the shots?
@@MFV77 It's a side effect of both the pills (bisophosphates) and shots like Prolia.
@@musicfan1427 thank you!
@@MFV77 No its Zometa, bisphosphenates; avoid them
That doctor is harming people. Sad
Here are the main points summarised and the approx time in the video the point is raised. Thanks a lot Dr Berry!:
Increases risk of osteoporosis:
*
Drinking more than 2 glasses of alcohol a day increases your risk of osteoporosis 5:50
*
Smoking 6:00
*
Vitamin D and K2 deficiency 6:20
*
Lots of grains, sugars, and processed foods in your diet 6:35
*
Inactivity 6:45
*
Drinking soft drinks 7:15
*
Consumption of Proton Pump Inhibitors and H2 Blocker medications that reduce atomic acidity 7:30
*
Low hormones 8:35
*
Diabetic, steroid and lithium medications 8:50
DEXA Scanner shows bone health
How to prevent or reverse osteoporosis:
*
Avoid sugar and processed carbs and eat collagen and minerals from fatty meats and the skin from the meat as it contains collagen. Eat the gristle in meats. The membrane on the back of ribs is gristle. The membrane on a hard-boiled egg is pure collagen. Make a homemade bone broth. 11:05
*
Eat good sources of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and boron minerals. Can take a supplement for the minerals, but don't take a Calcium supplement as they don't help. Calcium-rich foods are green foods. Using egg shells in bone broth adds more calcium. 12:20
*
Weight-bearing and resistance training exercises like walking, lifting weights and strenuous activity (like a bit of jogging). Lots of running can decrease bone density. 13:05
*
Stop smoking and drinking soft drinks 14:40
*
Get off Diabetic, steroid and lithium medications 15:00
*
Stop drinking more than 2 alcoholic drinks a day 15:10
*
Take vitamin D if you're not eating enough pastured fatty foods and sunlight 15:35
*
Have a vitamin K2 supplement like a MK7 15:55
*
Fix your hormones. Get a hormone panel check if you are over 40. Low testosterone in men increases the risk of osteoporosis, as does low testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen in women. If your hormones are low take bioidentical hormones, not synthetic hormones as these increase the risk of cancer and heart disease 16:25
*
Try to keep stress low and get adequate sleep. Chronic high cortisol decreases bone density 17:10
*
Don't depend on prescription medications for osteoporosis 18:20
You deserve a medal..

@@aprilmay1700 Are you saying that humans are smarter or more educated than God? Really ?????
@@aprilmay1700 so science makes our bones bend and not break? Science creates the rotation of good and bad bones to keep the body going?

Why would anybody put a thumbs down on this? Everything he mentioned is true and informative. Explained so very well so it can be understood. This is more information in one video than I have found in other videos I have watched so far or other social venues. I thank you Dr. Berry. I am now going to watch your other videos.

I'm working hard to reverse my osteoporosis. I was put on an estrogen blocker due to breast cancer being estrogen fed. I have had surgery and 3 weeks of radiation and feeling good about things now. I decided to go off the blocker once I found out I had osteoporosis. I feel more secure about fighting cancer than I do replenishing bone. I've changed my diet and have upped my game in exercising. I've been exercising for over 20 years (I'm not 64), but now increasing my weights. I really enjoyed this video.
THANK YOU! Today I was diagnosed with osteoporisis and as a Christian I ALWAYS go against a doctor telling me I have something irreversalble because scripture says 'By HIS stripes I am healed'. I am on NO medications and lean more towards Chiropractors. I'd been indoors a lot and sendentary due to music productions and hot weather in Arizona. 2 years ago, I moved to Virginia where they have more townhomes and stairs. I fell down, broke wrist, which is when they discovered Osteopenia. I began taking Vitamin D3 as they said, but they never told me about the Vitamin K. Or Keto diet. I prayed in faith today to find answers and found your video....thanks for the hope and direction. Blessings
I was just diagnosed and I’m afraid to take meds . I’d rather do it naturally if it’s possible .

I pray and agree with you that you are healed by His stripes. Please pray also for me. Thank you!
So you trust an imaginary person over a doctor? Ok.
@@dragonwithagirltattoo598 I trust words that sound like HOPE. WHAT makes you think he's 'imaginary' and NOT a Doctor??? Do you not know that he could get sued for putting out bullcrap??? GEEZ. Are you a doctor that's pissed cuz you're losing patients or something?? Probably. I'm 65 and got to this age by using sense, not stupidity like a lot of young people. If it doesn't sound like hope, it's NOT coming from God. I was diagnosed long ago with LUPUS and would not accept it. Got prayer from lots of people and churches and within 1MONTH, they couldn't find a trace of LUPUS. Your name says alot about who YOU follow.
I am a 76 year old woman diagnosed with osteoporosis. Two specialists want to start me on a regimen of Evenity/Reclast OR Tymlos/Prolia infusions. None of them explain what these drugs do/don't do for me like you did in this video. My 'gut' has been screaming at me not to do these infusions and I will now follow my 'gut'. Thank you for such simply given information. I've never heard about K2-MK7 before. Will add that to my supplement regimen. I walk 2.5 miles every day and have for 30 years.
I’m 75 also doctors are annoyed even angry because I won’t take the bone meds! I agree.. my gut screams at me “ don’t take this stuff!”
I'm in a similar situation. I'll be 72 in 3 mos. I usually walk a mile 5x a week but an injury had me home bound. Up until this year I never was even diagnosed for Pina, but porosity now. I want to try a regimen before taking those infusions, my gut doesn't want to take them either!
@@catherinecrow5662 Not one doctor that I've seen locally has mentioned osteoclasts or osteoblasts. I didn't know about them at all or their jobs. Do doctors get a kickback from pushing infusions and the like? Catherine Crow, if you're unable to walk, maybe consider lifting light weights with your arms. Even cans of soup will do in a pinch. I walk AND do small weight-lifting with real weights.
@geneandbobiallard9089 I've wondered about the BigPharm push myself.
Just looking at the side effects of these infusion, heart attacks, 'death', etc !!!
My doctor discussed options and I made the decision to take Evenity. I had 12 months of injections. The injections are slightly uncomfortable but not awful. The first couple months I had a headache that lasted a day or so after the injections. I was also tired and had insomnia for a few days after the injections, and a little swelling near the injection site. I completed my last injection this month, and received my DEXA results today. DEXA improved in the spine by 41%. I meet with my doctor in a couple weeks to discuss all results and the plan going forward. I continue to eat a healthy diet, exercise, take Vitamin D, K2-MK7, magnesium, and calcium from my diet.
Hi, Dr. Barry, my name is Grant and I am 75 years old male and I consider you one of my doctors even though you don't know me.

@@breedawhelan5916 Hi I also take tablets for acid reflux Omeprazole have been taking them for around 20 years!! I also have Osteoporosis but I have tried to give up the acid reflux tablets but it is just impossible. I would also like advice as well please.
I just found out I have osteopenia in my spine and osteoporosis in my right hip ... do not want to take medications for this and have been looking for normal ways to improve my situation ... have been looking for two months for good information and finally found it here ... Dr Berry, you are the best !!!!!!!!!! ... you covered everything and in a way that it's understandable for the common person ... thank you !
Dr. Berry, I owe you more than I can express in mere words. I was blessed to find you 6 months ago on UA-cam.
I stated BBBE shortly after and feel amazing!
I have lost 41 lbs, have increased energy, and skin is clearer & brighter.
I will be 70 in September!
THANK YOU, DR. BERRY!
YOU ROCK!!! I have shared your channel with everyone I can think of.
It's time for people to become educated to the truth of the PHD!
I have reversed mine ,with heavy weights and a trainer in the gym,helping me. My diet,from your videos and supplements ❤
If I had a doctor like this I'd actually go to the doctors.
Most don't give a f**k about you.
Wow! you blew my mind Dr. Berry! My teeth were breaking in pieces while chewing, so Im changing the way I think, eat, live and love everything! However I could not believe something in my body isn't able to Regenerate. You are life changing for so many people!!! Deep Gratitude!!
The explanation about the meaningful relation between osteoclasts and osteoblasts and how medication can alter it is very helpful.
I agree. I had never heard this explanation before. Good info.
Hello Dr Berry I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis some years ago and I have been doing my best to reverse it. Your video was very useful. Thank You.
How do you feel now?
This should be required viewing for every kid in high school, before they adopt poor lifestyles and habits.
Telling my kid about this and other habits all the time. Do they listen?
When you're a kid it feels like aging and sickness will never get you, only when you get your first backache around 30 do you go "so the legends are true..."

Loving (being strict with yourself first) example wins.
Wish i was told,Right?!!!!!
My son has really taken on the keto lifestyle and does a good amount of weight lifting. He doesn’t just take my word for stuff but does his own research.
I’m being treated with lupron shots every 3 months and arimidex everyday to prevent the breast cancer from returning. The oncologist told me to take vitamin D3, that’s it. I’ve gotten more info from you than any other doctor. Thank you so much! Will definitely share this video with more ppl 👍🏼

Also look at taking Milk Thistle. It doesn’t interfere with medications but does help your liver regenerate & detox after chemo drugs. Because of pollution, chemical additives, etc in our food I recommend everyone over age 45 take Milk Thistle.

I have them both. It hurts so bad I had to take a pain and nerve pill gabapentin. I have been on this keto for about 4 days and I'm not as stiff as I use to be. I'm 74 years old. I also have Fibromyalgia, stage 3 kidney disease and a blocked heart with congestive heart failure. I really need this. I'm in an assisted living facility and all do is serve things with all lot of salt and sugar in it. I cook my own meals now and I love it. Not suppose to and they may kick me out. Anyway I hope and pray 🙏😌 we will get well. Thanks to Dr Berry 🙌🙏😀👍
Glenda, Bless You! You are doing a fabulous job! Keep it up!!
This guy is amazing. I just love what he has to say. My holistic doctor recommended some of his info, too. Believe holistic doctors over Big Pharma taught doctors. Big Pharma PAYS to have doctors taught to prescribe their meds! Holistic doctors, like Dr Berry, teach you how to avoid and stop damaging your body and how to improve it. Thank you so much, Dr Berry!💓💞
Dr. Berry you are the only one I have found to explain what we can do more naturally than any other research I have studied. I am 75 yrs old and was once a certified herbalist. I have certifications in natural healing but none in nutritional healing with food only herbs. Thank you so much for this video. My God bless your practice. I have just been told I have osteopenea so your video has helped me a lot.

I am a retired psychiatrist and I agree with you.
Hi doc trunks for such a important information .God bless u .
You have helped me.
I've stopped smoking and drinking
Thank you
i really like this guy, he definitely knows his stuff about bone health
I was diagnosed with having osteoporosis in my lower back in my 30s. That was 30 years ago. I haven’t had any issues. At the time, they gave me a prescription for something for the osteoporosis but I didn’t feel good about taking it. I found out later that one of the side effects was a chance of broken bones!
Crazy… a warning sign for sure!
I hav osteoporosis and recently had two severe wedge fractures at T6/7 really painful and it’s still painful 7 months later
My skin feel numb to
Most of the pain is around my left shoulder blade
I am now taking vitamin d
and aldrenateacid I think Iv spelt that wrong
Can I take any other supplements to build my bone
I can only walk 10 min a day as I have severe emphysema and can’t walk far
I’m also have an eating disorder so I don’t have a god relationship with food
I don’t drink I stopped smoking 8 months ago due to being very ill with a chest infection respiratory failure and pneumonia I then got covid just after recovery but I lost my mobility an awfull lot after covid
I get very breathless doing nothing somedays others I can walk just just distance
I need sone advise on what supplements to take I’m really scared my spine is going to fracture again and my kyphosis gets worse
I didn’t have kyphosis last yr so I’m assuming it caused by the fracture this yr ? Help please and are dried prunes food
I’ll bet that was fosamax! I had the same experience! I was shocked to see the side effect was exactly what I was trying to prevent! I stopped taking them immediately
@TheNitabita66 same here.
What did your doctor prescribe? I wonder if it was prolia injection…
Why I didn't see this video before? Thanks Dr. KenDBerry, God bless you.
Your charm helps those such as myself become captivated to your every word. Praise God for that. I love a man who keeps his wife in the convo. You are educated, personable and caring. Love your anti- vaping and smoking clips. All good things to you, my friend.
I have been taking D3 with MK-7 for some time. I recently began taking this combination just before going to bed after listening to videos by Dr. Stasha Gominak. I do not get up as often at night to take care of my bladder. I wake up in the morning feeling as if I actually slept. Taking D3 before the body's repair cycle (sleep) may be very helpful for overall health.
Please what is MK-7? Thank you.

🙏🙏
I saw this thing called OsteoPro, it's a supplement. I thought I would mention it.. I'm considering it.
BAD ADVICE!
@@sl4983
Osteoporosis is caused by consuming acid forming animal protein. And refined junk food. Nothing you can take helps unless the acid forming foods are eliminated!
Me too
I totally agree with all of this as a nurse. And if fact, I even wrote a book called “Peace Management” because of the negative impact of stress on the body. Thank you for this video!!!
Oooohhh just checked it out!😍 Going to try & get myself a copy! Sounds like exactly what i need at this point in time 🙏❤
Where is book listed to review and purchase?
Cat we talk about just how this happens truthfully if diet is s key then we need to find the lock
I absolutely love the way you teach and explain everything. You so totally make sense! Thank you so much.
Wish you were my doctor. You make so much sense. Mine makes NO sense except to order drugs. Very disappointing. Thank you.
I saw my doctor yesterday and he said my bone density test shows that I have osteoporosis. He said that I can reverse osteopenia but not osteoporosis. He said that no diet, no exercise, no supplements will help me. He said the only thing that will help is drugs! He said that at my age (I’m 73), if I fall and break a hip, I will NEVER recover from it. So I can just wait until I fracture a bone or take the meds he’s recommending to prevent that. (His words). He also said, “I don’t want to scare you but your morbidity percentage for the next five years is about the same as if you had breast cancer.” I reminded him that I did have breast cancer 33 years ago and I beat it through diet and exercise - no chemo! So this is the kind of medical advice that I am dealing with. Very frustrating. Unfortunately, I can’t eat eggs and poultry due to a severe allergy so I’ll need to work around that.
I'm 77. Two years ago I was thrown from a horse onto the road shoulder - a couple of scrapes and small bruises. A few weeks ago I fell hard onto concrete entirely on my left knee - a little swelling and slight bruise. In my 20's I had arthritis until I got into healthy living, and I have had zero arthritis ever since. I have been a jogger and exerciser for 50 years. I started low carb over 40 years ago, (with lapses), and gradually moved to keto and now 90% carnivore. No sugar, starch, grains, seed oils, alcohol or smoking. Almost all home-prepared whole foods, plus supplements. You must take charge of your health and refuse the doctor's fear mongering. God bless ❤️🙏❤️
PS just for instance, my 2 meals today were frozen cheeseburgers reheated in home-made beef bone broth and butter, for dinner I added crumbled bacon. 😋 Yesterday I made a keto soup that was a hit at a church potluck - creamy cheddar/broccoli with added chicken (but spicy pork sausage would be great). My hubby eats carbs but we have no problem managing meals mostly together.
Thank you for telling us what doctors don't. God bless.
So true. This is such important info, but all the doctors want to talk about is medicine.
I'm very fortunate, I decided to take HRT even before I needed it The result has been very strong bones.
Doc, you need national exposure, the insight and information you give needs to be seen by everyone. You need your own TV show
Thank you Dr for the good INFO
Swamper60 I totally agree with you.
This is his own tv show.
More likely Dr Berry should have international status, especially here in the UK where we can no longer even see our Drs! Thank God we have UA-cam as a medium!
NOOOOOO, please. I don't want him to become a joke, a cheap robot to entertain us. Please, he is a dignify individual that is not out there for the rich. Actually we are the mass, rich people are a small percentage.
It's refreshing to hear you talk about something constructive, very positive and upbuilding.
This has been so helpful. I was diagnosed 9 months ago at 53 with Osteoporosis and the dr lay out a lifetime plan of Forteo, a bisphosphonate, followed by Prolia for the rest of my life! I thought my life as I knew it was over. After much research and being pointed in the direction of the right dr, I no longer feel that way. The only break I have ever suffered was a torsion break and an ACL tear as a result of a fall skiing. I am taking no meds other that a high quality calcium, D k2, Collagen Peptides,and Hydrochlorothiazide as they found my kidneys were leaking calcium. That was something I didn’t hear you mention and I’d love to hear how much you think that contributed to my Osteoporosis. I don’t smoke , but I did for many years, never drink soda, haven’t had an alcoholic drink in 15 years and lift weights 3x a week and walk 2 miles every day. However I am post menopausal and my estrogen is tanked. Can’t take hormones because of breast cancer in 2 aunts puts me at higher risk. Thank you for this very informative video.
But Stacy, correct me if I am wrong…..I thought Dr. Berry says ( other than food/sunlight ) NOT to take calcium supplements.
@@carolcole570 Yes, everything I read says not to take it.
@ And I do not ! Except for the calcium I get when eating Cheddar Cheese. Thanks for confirming, Patriot !❤️
This was a good video, I can feel it in my bones.
Lol!
☝🏼😎🤣🤓
Lol 😆 cute 🥰
no bones about it!
😊💗
Thank you so much for this video on Osteoporosis. Just recently had a bone scan done and it revealed i have osteopenia in my left hip and lower spine/back. I have been doing exercises daily for flexibility, balance, and bone strengthening. Your tips are most helpful. I made note of what you stated in the steps you suggested for strengthening bone density.
Get info now bf you break that femur stem like me not joking not the pain the sedentary. I do all the exercises 3X and my upper body weight resistance . Special exercises to do see , Bob and Brad Utubes. March. Drop from chin up bar any vibration plates. Ride recombinant bike at first for cardio. Gym membership. Best bone density is found in pole vaulting bc of that stimulates bone growth. I wish I had been forewarned osteopenia.
Thank you for sharing this information Doctor! This should be taught to everyone so they don’t end up with these issues (unless genetic). The food supply has been and continues to make people sick. We need to be educated BEFORE the damage is done!
i'm 62, work as a gardener, frequently load-bearing work. I also metal detect! Great exercise because you are walking and swinging a detector and carrying a spade for hours. In my outdoor work and hobby I often trip and fall and I always bounce.
Women after menopause have to do load bearing exercise. Carry that shopping.
Respect !
At age 42 a bad auto accident left be pretty bad shape, I had to give up my nursing career of 31 yrs & have a hip replacement, now I have cervical & lumbar degeneration of the spine due to being ejected from the truck when it rolled. So far I’ve lost 1.5” in height and I’ve been getting? (Steroid) injections in my spine for pain. Just recently I noticed my thigh muscles we’re getting very soft, I’ve read where steroids will do this. Any advice? I’m due for another injection next week & seriously thinking of canceling my appointment. I go to a chiropractor also which keeps me going, he told me that he doesn’t see how I am walking, (he looked at my spinal xrays). I think in order to get my pain meds, you got to take the injections, which is wrong.
Walking isn't weigh bearing exercise
@@michelles2299 You need to read the comment properly. It is if you carry a spade and a metal detector. it is if you carry shopping. It is if you push a wheel barrow full of weeds.
@@michelles2299
Just wrong.... Google and read more references before making false statements.
"But for an aerobic activity to benefit your bones, it needs to be weight bearing."
This means you are on your feet, moving your body against gravity. Dancing and walking are weight-bearing activities, but cycling and swimming are not."
This is the best explanation i ever heard from a doctor👍👍👍
Thank you so much! Love it🤗
We humans can be a participant in every area of our lives especially our mental and physical health. My practitioner and I are partners this means I help my doctor take care of me by doing my research and paying attention to my total body. Thanks for sharing such needed knowledge. Happy 2024
Thank you so much. Your helpful step by step how to take care of the osteoporosis is so simple and easy to understand. So hard to get rid of carbs, but I will try. God bless you.
I have a friend who is 93 years old. A former scientist, he strongly recommends taking borax diluted in filtered water every day. He showed me his bone density scans before and after taking borax. He had osteopenia before taking boron. He showed me his scan after taking borax for awhile. His bone density is better than mine and I am 25 years younger than he is! He is very active for his age and looks much younger than his age.
Hi can you remember how much borax your friend took ? Please ,8m just starting chemotherapy for 5 years and a side effect is osteoporosis ,
How 🤔
borax or boron? They're not the same
Borax? Do you mean boron?
@@lisag18 Some people take Borax therapeutically. Alternatively, you can use boron.
Dr Berry - thank you so much for this video. I recently broke my wrist after an horrendous fall in the garden and was subsequently given a DEXA scan. The results indicated severe osteoporosis of the spine and osteopenia in my neck and hip. I’m 69 years’ old and the only treatment I was offered was a Zoledronic acid (Aclasta) infusion. The diagnosis was scary and I was very upset about it. I’ve been reading the literature I was given by the hospital about the Zoledronic acid and the side effects listed are numerous and very concerning ie, the jaw bone exposure risk, thigh bone fractures and a common one being Atrial Fibrillation! (1 in 10 people). I understand this can lead to strokes. After watching your video, I have decided not to have the infusion and will do my best to improve/reverse my osteoporosis by natural means. Thank you again
Had a fall 6months ago open fracture so reduced mobility my exray is suggestive of low bone density your video is very helpful and will follow your advice thanks
Thank you for sharing this!
Me too! Not taking any meds. I've had three spinal fractures in 4 years. The healing process can be 3 months each time but I do get better, not perfect i still have pain. It started when I was 62. I'm going to try this carnivore diet and see if I can get more improvement.
How are you doing now?
@@iowafarmgirlinPA I’m doing ok but getting lots of flack and negativity from doctors and physios who keep trying to persuade me to have the infusion. I’m still resisting it, though. I have unexplained pains in both my lower legs which is a bit concerning and which stopped me walking for a while but despite the pains I’ve started walking again and am trying to ignore the pains. I’m very aware of any trip hazards around and I keep alert to that. I do weight bearing exercises with a stretch band and take various supplements. I do my best not to bend over from the waist (as I always did) so as to protect my spine. I’m just basically keeping my fingers crossed. 😊🤞
I'm so glad I found your channel. Your honesty is so refreshing.
I'm only 29 but 10+ years of having an eating disorder and poor digestion as well as a few years of being vegan have reduced my bone density. I'm hoping that I'll be able to reverse at least some of the damage.
You can do it, go for it! ❤
@@newschaser6414 thank you!
You absolutely can do it… You have youth on your side👍
You have the gift of now learning about good health at a young age! I did not discover Dr. Berry and all the others until age 62, three years ago, and I have been able to reverse many things already. My mantra now is “ eat a Proper Human Diet”! Thanks to Dr. Berry❤

Fantastic! Why has no one told me this? I see a doctor every three months!
Thank you so much for all your comments, helps a lot in my healing process
I always appreciate the teaching of Dr Berry. He's very very thorough. Like a good teacher, he doesn't assume you know anything, because some people have been taught wrongly. The message is for everyone, even the totally misinformed. And for some, it's very important to know the "why" before we will do the "what". I try to be a very informed person; but sometimes, information has changed.
I am not sure I agree with some of Dr Berrys talking points. As you say, information must always be updated and can change. He states that being sedentary can lead to osteoporosis because the bones are not stressed enough, implying that stressing bones increasing bone health. However, I have noticed that being lazy can cause tension or stress, at least on the muscles, perhaps even the bones. But laziness does not strengthen muscles even though it stresses or strains them. Likewise, perhaps this can be extrapolated to bones, perhaps exercise helps bones but not because of the stress, but due to other factors. I am not sure though.
Blood flow…it’s a different type of stress that a sedentary lifestyle puts on the bones…exercise is a more uniform type of stress that brings more blood flow and nutrients to the bones…the body’s system gets lazy too..
@earthsceience129 Walking is a weight-bearing exercise. Sitting is now looked upon as detrimental to the body as smoking.
I finally seen a real doc talking instead of a good looking model spreading misleading information on you tube. Everything you said is real science and evidenced based .Thank you doc !

Will this help if you had kidney transplant?
I’m 59 and have disc degenerative disease, osteopenia, spinal stenosis, and osteoporosis now. I’ve had some of these for years. I have had 3 back surgeries to replace several discs in my late 30’s early 40’s. My pain now daily is a 7. I am up for about 6 hours off and on each day. I can’t exercise hardly much at all. I’ll be 60 in may and I hope this will help me to reverse or slow down the damage. Ty for this video. Until these things started hurting and slowing my life down I thought nothing about them.
Same here. Same diagnosis and 3 spinal fusions with disc removal and vertebral disection with titanium cages and bone grafts. I also have pain all the time, but I force myself to walk daily and bike about 60 miles a week. I don't want to get worse. I have osteopenia and don't want it to get worse. I don't drink or smoke. I cook all of our food, watch carbs and sugars. Nothing hydrogenated or overly processed.

not? What doyareckon?
So sorry for your pain. Hope you feel better and free of pain in the future. The "Now" company has an organic stevia that is very good (just need a little). Do some research on stevia and bones. When I was 68, my chiropractor was surprised at my full body xray, and said I had the bones of a woman In my 30s. He kept asking me how I eat. I've been a vegetarian for 38, almost 39 years (then about 34 years)., but he said that being vegetarian should not cause stronger bones. Never could figure out why my bones were strong for my age. I didn't think about using stevia in my tea everyday. I later saw some recent research on stevia and how farmers give it to their chickens so the eggs won't break. Also, never drink cold drinks, just tea with stevia. I also use Internal Harmony that you rub on everyday. I'm almost 73 and very strong and healthy, so hopefully this will help you, too.

@@christinemott8799 I’m sorry. I know how bad having all this hurts. And you’ve probably had it for awhile and after a long time the pain wears you down and life doesn’t seem worth much anymore.

I am 60 and despite losing my ovaries to cancer 20 yrs ago, I've only recently had my first Dexa scan (new Dr!). I have 'SEVERE' osteoporosis... My diet has always been excellent (very intentional) and I exercise (power walk and jog) daily... but l have had no estrogen since I was 40.

Thank you for this podcast. I never beleived the drug treatment options were worth the risk. I was told to take vitamin d and calcium plus exercise to slow down the loss however the approach was vague. I stared my own research and found information to create a plan to stop and hopefully reverse my diagnosis which includes a higher dose of vitamin d3, k2 and some trace minerals.

Need calcium in diet.
I've just been diagnosed with osteopenia and osteoporosis in the neck. This follows radiotherapy for tonsil cancer 14 years ago. The pain has been increasing since that time. Dr Berry's advice sounds pretty good to me.
Thank you Dr. Berry for the informative video. We have a wellness center in Memphis and incorporated the biodensity program 2 years for our patients. The biodensity equipment focuses on creating short load bearing exercises that can reshape the bone and help to ramp up the osteoblasts as well. Love the analogy on the bricks in the home not creating the meaningful bone that is needed. For my clients, I'm compared the bisphosphonate medication reaction to that of a sponge that while it might appear to make the bone density stronger via a denser mass, in actuality it's akin to a dry brittle sponge that may look dense but can become easier to break over time. We have recently added the nutritional component to our osteoporosis care program and appreciate your simple and straight forward tips.
Hello there where are you located what city
@@h.k.2278 He said he is in Memphis, Tennessee. I've been searching for a physician or other practitioner here for a year with no luck so I'll try to find this group - I hope they are still in existence
Absolutely! The object of treatment is stronger bones not whiter x-rays. You could use Tippex for perfect x-rays, but chalky calcium gives no strength.
Excellent advice. Look forward to hearing more.

My younger sister has osteoporosis.
She smoked up until last june/22, took antacids all day and night, everyday, ate nothing but processed JUNK food. and now, shes homeless, and living in my home because she went blind, partially deaf, and has advanced stage RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.
Thank you have a beautiful and blessed day
You’ve given me hope! I refused the medication because of the awful potential side effects. Medics not happy at all. I take vit D3 and do some walking but probably not enough but usually about 5 miles at each outing. I eat very healthily do not drink or smoke. I am a young 73 and slim build. I liked the bit about bone broth and fatty meat. Great believer in food is our medicine so I’ll give that a go. Thank you so much. I don’t get enough sunshine because I live in the UK and it just loves to rain here 😊 My T score has now dropped from osteopenia to osteoporosis -2.5 I think. But I will carry on with the vitamin D as I was very low. I’m non dairy too but eat loads of greens. I’m a fairly good girl 👍🤗
Perhaps instead of long walks (which are great for weight loss), switch to shorter walks + weight-bearing exercises for increasing bone density. Good luck!
Take K2 also.
Greens have anti nutrients as well as oxalate poison.
Thank you so much for this. I was diagnosed with Ostopenia and 2.6 Osteoporosis in my lower back. Dr right away wanted to prescribe Fosamax and I said no. Then he prescribed Evista and after watching this I most definitely will not be taking these drugs. I do power walks (4miles) 5 days a week plus cardio and light weight training. I think this is what kept this from being worse than it is. I have Arthritis pretty bad but I push through.
Same problem with me and having to much back pain and heels pain Do u have pain as I have
Thas me no way I goin to take anything the push on me...
Why would you not want to try these? Just curious……
Drink Turmeric tea. 1 tsp. Turmeric in a cup with a small pinch of black pepper. Pour on hot water. The black pepper increases the Turmeric’s ability to cross the blood brain barrier. If you add some fat (MCT oil, coconut oil heavy cream) you get a double whammy for crossing the blood brain barrier. I’ve seen a lady that had crippled fingers drink the Turmeric tea and resulted in having normal fingers. I was truly amazed.
Cutting out all wheat products helps cutting down on inflammation . Monsanto changed the seeds , wheat has been genetical modified !
This is by far, the best most cohesive most impactful most motivating and most educating osteopenia video, i have ever watched. This has been so helpful. If only he was my doctor i swear. Thank you for brings vital knowledge and hope for us. Much appreciated ❤
Thank you, Dr. Berry, for this information packed video. I have all five unalterable risk factors. I have been identified as having slight osteopenia. You provide such important information for the public. I really appreciate all of your information-packed videos. This one hits very close. My mother has over 300 tiny fractures in her spine. I am already doing a few of the proactive steps to help myself but merely based on my own research. I am not trying to live forever. I just want to have the best health I can and then to drop dead without lingering. Many thanks for this.
I've been taking K2, D3, magnesium for over 4 years now. My bone scan says I have osteopenia. But here's the thing. Before the pandemic we were camping at a place called Rock Creek. I tripped over rocks (which were everywhere) a couple of times and landed on my behind or my elbow. (I don't drink. The doctor thought I did.) Got a few bruises. That's it. This December we were spackling our eaves to paint before we got aluminum gutters installed (for rain tanks). I fell off the ladder (thought I was on the last step but wasn't.) I fell on my butt on cement and rolled on my back. I had my husband help me up. (I'm 72.) I got up, felt no pain, and got right back to work. The next day we painted the eaves. I did not even have the slightest pain. I guess I'm lucky. I have never broken a bone in my entire life yet. I have been taking sea silica that may help with bone density. I also do 200 rows on a rowing machine 5 days a week for quite a few years now. Maybe I have good muscle mass around my bones. I won't take the medication they wanted me to take. I know people who had bad effects from it.
Thank you so much :) Just to let you know that I had an appointment with my doctor yesterday following my dexa scan and it's confirmed. No more osteoporosis, so I know it can be done.
Oh--good for you! Could you tell us the steps you took?
Louise
What did you do??? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, let us know. Have a Blessed day🌹
Yes please. More info
Obviously lying, if she can't reply to you all.
@@seasands3486 Sorry I took so long ;) I just followed a strict ketogenic diet since january 2019. I reversed my T2 diabetes, my hypertension, my cholesterol and my osteoporosis and I didn't mention my arthritis ;)
I do love your help! You’re so good and I appreciate all you have helped so many people with! A big thank YOU! ❤
So Grateful & Thankful For Your Video! Psalm 91 🙏🏻🙌🏻☝🏻God’sBlessings
Thank you! I have Osteoporosis from taking Nexium.
Thanks for the true facts about osteoporosis i plan on working through all of your steps!!!
very informative. I just got diagnosed with borderline osteoporosis. Thank you for this valuable information.
I'm getting a second opinion because I'm extremely healthy never had menopausal issues, always eating decent and working out is my passion doctor said your not on any medication then schedule me for bone density and said I have osteoporosis and prescribe me some medications and I canceled the medication I don't take meds, I'm going to keep using alternative stuff
sounds exactly like me.
Your advice is awesome. I listen to every word. Thank you❤️ I’m carnivore. Lost 78 pounds in 1 year.
Any eating ideas daily
Really enjoyed this talk - I was diagnosed with OP in 2010 and told by OP consultant to take Alendronic Acid for 5 years - that was all. So i did my own research and found out the reason I had OP was because of prescription meds for epilepsy. I cannot come off those drugs, but I had a loading dose of Vit D and take 2000IUs of Vit D a day to counteract the adverse effect of epilepsy meds. I went to a women clinic that advises on diet and OP - and gave up all processed high carb food (I make cakes from vegetables instead). Also started weight lifting in the gym. With 6 years I was no longer osteoporotic. So thrilled that you as a doctor are telling your patients the truth about OP - that it can be reversed if, and only if, the person with OP deciedes to take steps to reverse it.
Glad you have had some success. In the UK, so many people are now given epilepsy meds like gabapentin and pregabalin for nerve pain.
@@hateanimalabuse I have never heard of those two meds - but people taking epilepsy meds should be informed of the risk of osteoporosis and how to counteract that risk. Oh dear..
@@flower-ss2jt Gabapentin - FusePaq Fanatrex.Gabarone.Gralise.Neurontin.
Pregabalin - Lyrica
My daughter has epilepsy and has taken medicine since age 7. She is now 50
May I ask what drug did this to you?
@@jessideb333 The most recent meds I am on is Primidone sometimes called Mysoline. But it is epilepsy drugs in general that can cause accelerated bone loss AFTER the menopause. It is normal to lose bone density as you age, but the epilepsy meds can accelerate the loss of bone. Basically, and I am not a doctor - this is what I have learnt, after menopause when oestrogen levels your body deplete, your body stops being able to absorb Vit D, and without Vit D in your body you cannot utilise the calcium (essential for bone growth).
Read Dr Marilyn Glenville's book Osteoporosis How to prevent , treat and reverse it.
I went to Dr Glenville's clinic and had a consultation, found out my Vit D was 14.7nmol, and it should be between 75-125 nmol, had a loading dose of Vit D (30,000IUs) followed by 2,000 IUs a day.
Vit D3 is only absorbed with oil, so I used to buy Carlson Vit D3 oil capsules from the USA - now I can get them on Amazon.
I also take Vit K, boron and magnesium.
Nutrition - I have totally altered my diet to avoid eating food that create acid ash in your stomach - like cheddar cheese. Basically the food I eat would be a banquet for a monkey - lots of veg, some fruit, seeds and nuts. I do have meat sometimes. But I never eat processed food like bread or microwaved meals.
Exercise - as my bones were so bad I took up weightlifting, but SLOW weights.
Now I am hopefully OK.
