Hi Dr.Berry, I loved your videos and practically they saved my life! My A1C came down from 10.2 to 6.3 in 6 months and I am off most of my medications except for one blood pressure medicine. My doctor wouldn't believe it but I just let the test data speaks for itself! In my doctor's mind, she thinks I am too extreme! I saw your Lemon water video and I agreed with you that just lemon juice by itself doesn't provide much benefit! However, if you use the whole lemon (including the skin and everything), it does have some health benefits in my opinion. Four months into my diet, my weight loss stalled and my blood sugar stayed at 110 mg/dL for some reasons that I wasn't aware of. I couldn't figure out why they stalled and what I screwed up! I tried everything and I even thought my black tea and my blood pressure medication was the cause of the problem. I stopped them and nothing change except my blood pressure was getting higher! Then I saw one of the videos from Dr.James Kneller about how he eats a lemon a day and its health benefits. I figured I would give it a try. The way he's doing is kind of gross I have to admit! So I turned the whole lemon into a drink with water and added Stevia. To my surprised, my blood sugar went down to 85 mg/dL that afternoon and it stayed there. And my weight loss resumed within the next few days. I am not medically smart enough to understand why or what's going on but I have to believe that the whole lemon juice did affect my body chemistry somehow. I've been drinking this cocktail for two weeks now. And my sugar is at 75mg/dL now and my weight is going down slowly! I just want to put it out here and perhaps you can investigate if the whole lemon approach indeed has some benefits that we are not aware of. After all, what you are doing is indeed life saving and I really want to help this community to spread out the words and fix some health problems that pharmaceutical companies don't want anyone to fix! God bless you. David
❤❤❤thank you David! This is a wonderful post! When I use lemon in cooking, I always use the whole lemon and eat the peel. I do with other citrus too. I'm going to try to be more aware and intentionally eat a little more lemon and see if I can improve my results too.😊
Excellent response and testimony to whole lemons and juice benefits. If you drink lemon juice just be careful to rinse your mouth thoroughly with water right after to avoid any tooth damage.
Hi.. :) I'm a retired Physical Therapist with a history of Kidney stones. I had a kidney stone (seen on Xray) and My family physician told me to drink a glass of warm water and half a lemon every morning 1/2 hour before eating. The kidney stone disappeared in 10 days (proven by Xray). Since doing this I have not had another kidney stone in 10 years now. A happy camper!!👍👍
Thank you for sharing this! I too have known people who have been able to dissolve or soften kidney stones which then pass through the body easily with zero pain by using the remedy you just described.
This was the only point he made that I whole heartedly believe he might not understand. It definitely keeps stones away and or reduces developed stones
My personal experience is the same. Having had stones numerous times, I've learned that at the first sign of those tweaky kidney jabs I get started on the lemon water. It works to pass the stones. I've also heard a urologist say that lemon has been shown to inhibit binding of oxalates(but wouldn't say it dissolved them). So if I'm going to enjoy some high oxalate food like almonds or spinach I always have some lemon water with it.
I am a water drinker and I drink my water with lemon juice every single day. I've done this for decades. I do it simply because I find it refreshing and I like the taste.
Hello 😊 I would love to share something that happened to me a while back. My cholesterol had gone sky high, and my kidney doctor wanted to set in a extra medicine to get it down. I was already using lots of medication because of my kidney failure, and told her to give me a couple of weeks to try something else. For the next two weeks I ate garlic every day. And I love garlic. I ate it raw, just chopped it up, and swallowed it with a glass of water. Two weeks later I was back in the hospital for a check up, and I will NEVER forget the doctors face when she was checking my blood test results. She turned around, looked at me, with eyes full of unbelief, saying: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE????? Your cholesterol is 100 % NORMAL. I felt like a huge weight fell of me, just smiled and said: I'VE BEEN USING GARLIC 😊😊
You changed my life Dr. Berry - carnovore diet helped me: 1. Become not morbidly obese; 2. Not be a type 2 diabetic; 3. Improved my kidney disease; 4. Improved all my joint pain so I can walk better. I’d say that was much more important than squeezing lemons! And, it’s a diet you can LIVE on the rest of your life. I’m 77 years old and I thank you so much for your videos and telling us the truth. God bless you!
@@talkback6094 I only have one kidney and my blood work showed that it IMPROVED on the carnovore diet. The urologist was stunned at the improvement and said that whatever I was doing, keep it up. I found both my PCP and urologist were totally ignorant and very skeptical of carnovore but could not argue with the bloodwork results.
Anyone even remotely familiar with Dr. Berg's videos knows very well that he would never endorse the idea that just drinking water with lemon would work miracles. Dr. Berg places more than 80% emphasis on regular healthy habits, especially the KETO diet, intermittent fasting, regular physical activity, avoiding stress, sleeping well and above all avoiding sugars, carbohydrates, vegetable oils, alcohol and junk food, or reducing to as little as possible.
@@asking1902 First thing in the morning - I usually drink Rooibos tea (made in SA 🇿🇦from an indigenous bush) to keep hydrated, and limit coffee to 1 cup per day. * Usually drunk black - you can add milk and a little honey, but I prefer it without.
I have much respect for both Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg. Dr Berg has introduced thousands of people to the ketogenic diet and along the way helps the same people find Dr Berry.
Yep, totally agree. This was a little disappointing me that Dr. Berry would do this. He took a LOT out of context with Dr. Bergs video on lemon juice, and I've been a big fan of Dr. Berry but Dr. Berg has helped both me and my wife with natural remedies and keto. I'm mostly carnivore now and though I enjoy it I hate to see people try and tear other down when they are really good at helping people. Very disappointing!
The sad thing is that his money goes to the Church of Scientology. He’s not what you think. He does have some great information which I appreciate but to him anyone who isn’t a Scientologist, is what they call a “Suppressive Person” or “SP”. And that’s how he refers to us. Especially if there’s a negative comment made.
Seriously? All I know is that generations of people people in my family all had kidney stones. I am the only person to make a consistent daily habit of drinking lemon water daily since my early 20's. I am 50 now. I am literally the only one who has not had any kidney problems.
@richiemandina5305 so your point is to belittle another with your snarky comment? Because I don't give a flying flip if it's something cheap & easy to help myself or a loved one so be it
@@lindabe11a I belittled nobody, I pointed out a fact. A fact that other people should see before they think that one person’s story suggests anything other than coincidence. This is a channel about science, not fairy tales.
Glad you were spared the kidney stone journey for so long. When I was 50 I thought the same thing; then I discovered that there is no maximum age for kidney stones to appear. I am 74 and just diagnosed with a very pretty star shaped one with bands of minerals-kinda like an agate. Note to all: doctors are easily annoyed by people who request careful removal so the stone can be used in jewelry....
Dr. Berry, I enjoy your videos. I went through a time where I had kidney stone attacks 6 times in 5 years. The last time I required surgery and was out of work for 3 months. When I visited my urologist he told me that the stone was gone but there was at least another 10 in my kidneys. He did not offer much hope but said some people benefit from drinking real lemon juice. Lemonade with real lemon was recommended, but I did not want the sugar. So I started drinking a glass of lemon juice from a fresh lemon every morning. That was about 12 years ago and I have not had another attack. I know you said "maybe" they benefit those with stones, I can attest that it changed my life. Perhaps you can do a bit more research on this particular topic.
It is such an amazing cure...inexpensive and effective! I was so angry that I had to go through 6 attacks before anyone told me, but still glad I can now tell others.@@AnnMoss-nw2fk
Is there a significant difference between a real lemon and the "real" lemon juice you get in the bottle? The stores up here are wanting up to eight bucks for a lb of lemons.
Thank you Dr. Berry! You and Neisha have truly changed my life through your educational videos. I have reversed Fatty Liver, kicked sugar and carbohydrate addiction, NO MORE MIGRAINES, reduced pain and inflammation in my feet, knees and back, lost 60lbs of fat, gaining more muscle, no more menopause symptoms, I can sleep through the night now, got rid of lifelong terrible constipation, no more bloating, gas pains, no more foggy brain, I have lots of energy and am able to handle life’s challenges without feeling big emotional swings. It’s truly incredible to see the lists that people post on your videos of health issues resolving and I’m so grateful they take the time to do so because it really helps to read the real life testimonies of transformation and healing. I thank God for y’all’s boldness, courage and love for people.
My has been wife drinking lemon water every day for a year .Apparently she did her research , because she has said the only reason to drink it was to drink more water. Thanks , for staying true to you profession.
I had kidney stones, but my dad was dying and I had to drive 13 hours. My dr said, you need to go to the hospital! I was like nope. I can’t. So I literally drank lemon juice the whole drive. I don’t remember how fast it worked, but by the time I got home I had zero kidney stones.
@@kathysmith8240 I don’t do it regularly, I just got bottles of lemonade, and a bottle of straight lemon juice, and made the lemonade as sour as I could tolerate. I drank this the entire drive from Los Angeles to northern CA. Once I was in Northern California I kept drinking lemonade. But not excessively. I switched to add more water. I would not recommend drinking that much lemon juice on a regular basis. It’s pretty harsh on your teeth but I didn’t have time to go to the dr. I also knew what kind of kidney stones I had cause I take a medication that causes them. I don’t think all kidney stones dissolve in citric acid.
I’ve been watching your (Dr. Barry’s) videos for a long time and I’ve always respected your opinion, but on this video, I just don’t understand. my story. I believe my father had stage four kidney failure. Somebody told me to Add little lemon juice and apple cider vinegar to his water every day and will get rid of his stones and flushes kidneys out. I’m not a physician, but I did it because I love my dad and wanted him to be as healthy as possible. That being said I did this for three months, my dad sadly ended up, passing away, His primary care physician specialized in geriatrics, contacted me to give his condolences. And after doing so he said, I want to read you your dad‘s test results on his kidneys. It couldn’t understand why my father‘s kidneys went from beginning in stage kidney failure to kidneys of a 20 year-old. I always kept him in the loop of everything I I would try from a natural approach. So when he said this to me, I said all I did is give him was a little lemon juice and little apple cider vinegar with his water for the last three months. I’m not sure he believed me! but that’s really all I did! So obviously the test proves that it did work. Shortly, there after my mother-in-law was on dialysis, and had in stage kidney failure. She did her research and went forward with the same approach, and now her kidneys are way way way better! And not on dialysis anymore. I believe we have a lot to learn about the human body and what it truly is capable of. There must be something to it! Just my opinion.
Due to type2 diabetes I gave up grains years ago but my weight continued to go up. Went ketovore/carnivore thanks to Dr. Berry's videos. I have lost over 80lbs so far & am off of insulin. THANK YOU DR BERRY!
@OverlandTT My mother died from complications of type 2 diabetes as well. So sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for your kindness. I was already keto, but I needed to go ultra low carb to lose the constant hunger and to finally be able to lose weight.
Now wait to see what's gonna happen to your guts red meat fiber stays in the large intestines for months, your problem was that you don't have a balance, sugar red meat alcohol processed foods and everything that has no chlorofile is gonna cause damage to your body, red meat too much is gonna cause you colon cancer and you'll inherit all the diseases from the cow to your DNA
About ten years ago I lost a kidney due to being a “stone-maker.” I had stones in the my surviving kidney as well! I started drinking lemon water every day, first thing in the morning. Each year I go in for an ultrasound. Bottom line, I’m kidney stone free. I do agree that it makes water easier and more enjoyable to drink, but anecdotally I’m giving it a thumbs up for eliminating my kidney stones.
@@kathysmith8240 I usually mix it 4 parts water to one part lemon or lime juice. Doesn't matter if its fresh or from a bottled concentrate. I was able to dissolve the stone without having to pass it.
I do intermittent fasting and stick to a low-carb / keto diet (even here in Rome, the carb capital of the world.) Drinking lots of water during my fast (20 hours a day, gotten totally used to it) is essential. I LOVE lemon juice simply because it is one of several ways to enjoy drinking water. I filter my water, let my Soda Stream carbonate it and add lemon juice. I also put lemon juice in my food (I'm half Greek, and we Greeks love lemon in our food.) I brush my teeth half an hour after drinking or eating with lemon juice for obvious reasons. Lemons have indirectly helped me to go from 70 to 52 kg, a weight I am reacquainted with after three decades, with a closet full of clothes that I loved so much I could not discard and now wearing again! Three cheers for lemon juice! But I love Dr. Berry's advice on carbs. I've never felt more alive, more calm, and more able to simply walk past all the gelaterias and pizzerias in Rome without a care ... and long live meat, veggies and lemon juice!
There's plenty of people with good testimonies of lemon water not sure what the big deal is..... you guys are both great doctors helping a lot of people
@@mystik.mermayde.aotearoahe's an influencer but so is Dr. Berry. Influencer is anyone that influences the decisions of a large group of people and they both do that. They both do that by making UA-cam videos, which makes them both influencers.
Great doctors rarely need to speak so negatively of another and NEVER provide a study or scientific evidence to their counter position. Berry just did... sad.
@@westheriault7123 I'd like to see him ever provide evidence to his claims. I think he's generally full of hot shiz and his advice is downright dangerous.
For my 2 cents the other content creator was my first exposure to a veritable mountain of truth and information the no one else was sharing. He helped my husband (who reversed Type 2 diabetes) and I turn our health around. I believe that he's sincere in his efforts to help people. And whether he is right or wrong we should remember that no one is going to be right 100% of the time no matter how well meaning. Many people tout research today that will be debunked tomorrow. And Dr. Berg heavily relies on studies. He doesn't just make anecdotal or surmised pronouncements. Let me also say that many of the doctors who are doing functional medicine are chiropractors. They had a whole body approach when typical Western trained M.D.s were treating symptoms and dismissing concerned patients like me. My husband's doctor told him he would need to be on medication for the rest of his life to manage his diabetes. At 31! So much respect to all the "not a doctors" out there who had more integrity than many "real doctors". There are great people and awful people in every profession. I really appreciate Dr. Berg for stepping up. ❤
Yes! Exactly! Heck, the doctor I see myself is a chiropractor/ kinesiologist that also does acupuncture and uses a lot of natural supplements Standard Process, and others, and he's helped me sooo much! The western doctors have really let me down- can't even figure out the MAJOR problem I have, that my natural Dr connected to adrenal with one session and muscle testing! It's a shame that all these western Dr's won't get onboard with the alternative Dr's and collaborate, we'd have the best medical care available! But just like everything else, it's always one side against the other😔 So frustrating! That's ok, we all know Dr Berg is amazing and he's actually the one most of us found first that even led us to Dr Berry, because you tube recommended other keto videos!
I had kidney stones and had to have a procedure to removed them and I was told that I would never have kidney stones again, well three months later I am urinating pink again and that is when I discovered lemon water. I has been over four years and I still eat chocolate everyday, spinach and other thing that cause oxalates and kidney stones, but never had a problem with stones again. I drink 8oz with half a lemon 1/2 hour before breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday and it works for me.
I had recurring urinary infections over many years. I decided to try drinking lemon juice in water over two years ago and have not had a urinary infection since. When I got called back to see the urologist at hospital, he wanted to know why my infections had stopped, I told him what I was doing, he just smiled, he was no believer. Now I still drink my lemon juice every day, but these days with added organic cider vinegar.
Me too! I was told I would have to take antibiotics every day forever! after about 15+ recurring infections. I did some research and decided to try lemon juice. I haven't had an infection in about 8 years!
Ive drank a whole juice of a lemon with warm water and through a straw for years in the morning. It helps me take a poop and most importantly intensifies the antioxident effects of green tea which also drink every morning. I love it
@@1truthseeking8I do my organic lemon juice flush first thing in the morning on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before I have my organic matcha green tea. I have a countertop water distiller and use 6-8 oz of fresh distilled water with my lemon juice. I've been using distilled water for everything for over a decade. I even freeze it and break it up with an ice pick if I need ice. If I had a Vitamix I would be throwing in the peel as well.
I have been drinking an organic lemon squeezed into lukewarm water every morning for the last 10 years. No arthritis, no gray hairs. No wrinkles and definitely no bladder stones and feel like iI'm still 30! My teeth are fine. I am not overweight either.
Dr Berg is amazing! Lots of comments about him being a chiropractor! Well he is an extremely intelligent sensible not to mention incredibly educated! And would not entertain making a video downgrading someone’s work or efforts to help others.
@@Chasecka True. Dr. Mandell has close to 9 million subscribers and he's saying almost the same thing as Dr. Berg. Several others too. From personal experience, I do agree with them.
@BubbleBurster-nv1vl Yes, Dr. Berg is very sus in his motives and even his own son denounced him and Scientology...which is where Dr. Berg's real motives are...
@@OGJacey I don't care his title and religion. Dr. Berg helped me get healthy with his videos while a dozen Christian MDs only prescribed pills to address symptoms. Maybe you should question the motives of MDs. Perhaps healing would be bad for their business?
I watch both of you as do a vast majority of your audience. I’ve been on lemon juice and water for the past 3 years. It works wonders. The proof is in my blood tests. It’s truly amazing. Haven’t been sick in 10+ years. You should both collaborate. I think you’d find you’re more similar than different. And yes, you’re calling him out. You can agree to disagree or do a video together to discuss. I’d love to see that as would your followers. Not everyone can do carnivore and Dr. Berg is a wonderful alternative with the Keto he shares. He’s changed many lives for the better as he did mine ❤
How are you sure that the lemon water itself is the reason your blood work improved? If you increased your water consumption as a whole, and changed your diet and lifestyle, it’s impossible to know that the lemon water is what saved you. The only way it would be proof is if you kept every single thing in your life the same (including the amount of water you already consume) and just added lemon everyday. I think people are really passionate about lemon water because it helps them to consume more water in general which makes them feel better which is great! But if there’s no scientific evidence then there’s just not.
My Dr knows i do lemon juice I've told her, and recently she asked me not to do lemon juice before my blood work, shes always trying put me on pills! notta!!!
Dr. Berry , i have a lot of respect for your expertise as an M.D. but as far as lemon juice for kidney stones you need to know that drinking the juice of one lemon a day for kidney stones has changed my life dramatically. I can testify that it has truly reduced my kidney stone problem to almost zero from having to deal with them constantly
I'm sure it's helped you in some way, but as Dr. Berry pointed, stopping the consumption of what is the leading cause of kidney stones (oxalate) is what will help reduce (in some people it will prevent) the formation of kidney stones. I hope you drink your lemon juice through a straw to help protect your tooth enamel. Lemon juice has certain side effects while stopping the consumption of oxalate foods doesn't.
Nope don't think it was the lemon...more like the uptake in more water. Dr tell kidney stone patients to drink 2 liter of water a day and never have a kidney stone again....Not sure that a very good answer though. Just keep your potassium up is the best way to avoid them I think. I heard they are from low potassium. Guess that means eat more meat! See how I did that...got right back to the healthiest food there is for the human....meat!
Stopping eating oxalates is what helped me! I had massive kidney stones on a keto diet with lots of spinach salads and almond flour. No stones now on carnivore.
I had been on lemon water last year and had no serious colds, then I quite it for a year and I got a bad cold that almost put me in the hospital, so I went back to lemon water and my cold was gone in one week 😊
@@nannuky1128 well I took more than just lemon water, vitamin D3 plus I was already taking cod liver oil and zinc but I have been low on vitamin C so I also started taking vitamin C daily and a natural vitamin C which is a red pepper 🌶️
I hope nobody really thinks it proves anything. There are many viruses responsible for the common cold, hundreds of them. Once you've encountered most of them (it happens soon or later, no need to have symptoms each time) and provided you are reasonably healthy you almost never get a cold. That's that simple. Note the terms "most of them" and "almost" there are important. So you can stay easily 3 or 4 years without getting a single cold but one day you meet one of the few ones that your immune system didn't know yet and you are ill for a few days or even for 3 weeks. No matter if you take your lemon juice every day or not.
Dr berg also recommends healthy Keto, low oxilate vegetable intake, low carbs, i think picking out 1 pce of his puzzle is a little harsh. Do love your content and thank you for it.
Before October 2013 my wife and I, daily, would talk about our heartburn. ‘How many Tums did you take today or how many Zantac did you take”? Like I said, this was a daily discussion. She heard about all of the benefits of lemon water. None of the benefits had to do with heartburn. In October 2013, we started drinking lemon water daily. Since 2013 I have never taken one Zantac and have probably taken less than ten Tums in ten years. I’m 71 and never thought I would ever get rid of my heartburn. Thank you lemon water.
I had GERD when I was 14; and was prescribed afew medications that had to be issued by a doctor(Tagament and Regulen, not sure if that's how they're spelt). They were horrible for side effects, so after afew years they came out with doctor prescribed Prevacid; to which I started taking daily. I was on that until I was 17, because my doctor would only prescribe me a 30-day supply and then want me back in for a doctor visit every 30 days(mind you, I was paying $60 per visit, and $250 a month for the pills at the time); one day I asked "Has anything changed in the last six months? Am I getting better or worse?" and he said "Nothing will change, you'll always have GERD." and I said "Then why don't you prescribe me 6-12 months at a time? Why am I coming in here every 30 days if nothing is going to change or needs to be tracked?" and with a straight face he says "I just like to see you." I got angry; and I told him I'll not be coming back, he can shove the prescription up his ass. Walked out, paid for that visit; and I never saw him again as a family doctor. I'm 41 now; he's retired. Here's something they don't tell you; DIET is how you manage stomach acid and GERD. Lifestyle changes, not medication. I was taking over the counter omeprazole for years, because it was the same thing as Prevacid but didn't require a doctor's prescription. I took those until I was 30; and then I did my own research; and learned that by taking proton pump inhibitors(Zantac, omeprezole, prevacid, etc) that your stomach goes into over-drive trying to create more stomach acid since it's acid secretion is being stymied. So if you miss a dose or two; you REALLY pay for it. Know what the solution is? Stop taking them, ween yourself off of them; DEAL with the flare-ups; and then start making better lifestyle choices for what you eat. I still have GERD, but after a month my stomach acid production went back to normal and I wasn't coughing it up into my throat, nor was it readily shooting up into my throat or mouth like it was before. I actually almost suffocated afew times as a teenager from the excess acidic mucous in my stomach, it covered my windpipe and almost killed me in my sleep. This mucous was so bad that when I'd brush my teeth in the morning, I'd have to cough it up off the top of my stomach; and it was a thick, viscous slime; it took hot water and soap to actually wash it off my hands and down the drain; but I had to cough it up every morning to 'clear' the top of my stomach, otherwise it would get coughed up into my throat and choke me during the day. I can now eat things I used to not be able to touch, chili, spaghetti, etc. I tend to stay away from acidic foods for the most part, and I'm not a fan of spicy foods at all; but it's so much better than it was 15+ years ago through most of my adult life and childhood. With GERD I have to becareful how I sit or sleep, and obviously can't have anything 'bad' to eat before bed or I risk it coming back up in my throat; but that's just life with GERD itself; when it comes to eating foods, the most I have to worry about is an upset stomach, bloating and diarhea; but that's part of making better food choices or being prepared for the outcome of what I eat. Also of note; I don't take Tums or anything else; I don't take any medicines to settle my stomach or alter anything like that anymore; because those act as band-aids; and for those of us with intestinal issues we can't be covering them up; we need to be more pro-active with our choices and accept that we gotta curb ourselves away from bad food decisions.
@@ShevaiAsan Yes. The things you described, especially the proton pump inhibitors ruined my close family members insides so bad that she never recovered. Towards the end, I learned all the natural ways to help the issue, but it was too late for her. I follow the anti-inflammatory diet and also drink lemon tea daily. I no longer have heartburn. Like you, I can even eat spaghetti sometimes, which used to give me terrible heartburn.
I've been drinking lemon juice for over 2 years now, it is a miracle solution! I lost weight, my indigestion issues are no more, my BP is down, my type 2 diabetes is gone, and it does help with kidney stones. Plus, it helps me drink more water. Not sure on the fatty liver, cholesterol benefits. But my stomach is flatter then ever, I think it help remove the fat around internal organs. I'm 51 and have been dealing with a mess of health issues.
Yup some "doctor's" from America were taught the natural way doesn't work. I've been going to a homeopathic doctor since 2yo and let me tell you. The natural way works
@@phillip73able it isn't just the water. Lemon juice breaks down fat! Think about the Orange hand cleaner mechanics use to clean grease off their hands. The citrus acid destroys fat.
I'm drinking lemon water and i feel better through the years, digestive system has never worked better. The lies totally come from those who say it's no use. Shame on the narrator, nothing for people, everything for publicity. This health preacher does not even look healthy himself
Dr. Berg's advice got me from 245 to a tight 145 over a few months. I felt better and better every day. My labs went from wrecked, due to metabolic syndrome and diabetes, to perfect. My feet even got smaller. I am forever grateful to him for sharing his knowledge. PS I did not exercise at all. My bad.
I am at 245 did you do keto? Can one harm the liver and gallbladder? I strayed myself and sis walking and less food ... what diet you feel is obstanable ? And do you eat any other others.. exercise ?
@@joanneclark8256 I started flowing Dr. Bergs advice with his video on keto 101 for beginners and kept watching and learning. I cut all carbs and sugar out of my diet. I ate eggs, bacon, tuna, red meat and LOTS of dark leafy greens and other low carb vegetables. Eventually I started intermittent fasting but nothing too extreme and this was actually after my weight loss. I never exercised. I drank water and unsweet tea with lemon. At night I drank water with apple cider vinegar and lemon. I felt amazing and was never hungry. After a few days of no carbs or sugar I didn't miss them at all and found I craved the foods I was eating for keto. You will be amazed at how good you look and feel and how you shrink all over very quickly. Even my feet got smaller which may sound strange but Dr. Bergs talks about this in one of his videos.
@@chrisvanallsburg I went from pants size 20 wide to a 10 in about three months. The weight loss took about seven months. I was heavy most in my belly which is typically SO hard to lose from. On keto that tummy just went away. I went from handfuls of belly to just the smallest pinch of fat.
I am 78, have had 1 lemon everyday for ever, I use no pharmaceuticals, only supplements, my brother in law was a naturopath, he was 10 years older than me, he had a good life and died in his sleep as he always wished. Thru the years, I have learned a lot... his daughter is a herbalist, so, we have been in touch with it all, I think that people should eat, do, try what really is good for them, we are all different. Thank you for the videos.
Thank u dr berry you and your wife are a true blessing of the truth❤ I love your Audible book it truly open up my eyes and I changed doctors. I am still on my carnivore journey from 471 lbs to now 263 lbs. You are a tru inspiration❤
Dr. Berg has helped more people than the WHO. I listened to a Dr.Berg talk on practical Keto and intermittent fasting that produced absolutely amazing results.
My sister in law was worried to hear that she had a fatty liver, a friend told her to drink lemon water, she started it first thing every morning. After 3 months, the next test, fatty liver was gone. She even told me that many commented on her glowing skin. May be each individual is different
Sometimes you have to take these Drs and their opinion with a grain of salt. I’m sure Dr Berry believes what he’s saying and means well but that doesn’t mean it’s fact. I believe lemon juice has more benefits than he leads on but I’m no “Dr”.
The question is what else did she change in her life? We often focus on one or very few things while we changing way more. But since drinking Lemonwater does not harm anyone unless you practice it in a very excessesive way.. why not keep doing it if one likes the taste. Just don't rely on it as the next best miracle.
lol, no, I'm not giving up my lemons. I had fatty liver at stage S3. After a year of strict carnivore, it improved only slightly. I started blending a quarter to half of a lemon, peel and all, into 12oz of water daily (I missed a day here and there). By the time of my next fibroscan, my fatty liver was down to stage 0 ... very little fatty infiltration left (and the next HIDA scan showed my sluggish gallbladder was finally functioning perfectly normal after years of issue). And here's the kicker: after starting with the daily lemon water, about halfway through the year I stopped carnivore and went to a more high protein Mediterranean style diet ... yep, carbs baby. The quick and simple act of blending a quarter or half lemon daily for a refreshing lemon water drink, seemed to play a significant role in reversing my fatty liver, not to mention it brought my cholesterol down about 25 points. Dr. Berg has literally never steered me wrong yet.
@@OGGenX65 you need a high powered blender like Vitamix or Blendtec. Pricy but highest end and will last your whole life. You might be able to get away with a Bullet blender. But Vitamix pulverizes the cell walls unlike conventional blenders. It releases the photochemicals your teeth could never do!
my urologist told me 15 years ago about lemon juice in my diet for prevention of Kidney Stones. I had dozens of these things in my life, since adding lemon juice to water I havent had one stone. Ill keep drinking the lemon water, thanks
@@cindyhesse5196 I dont know what to say, good luck, keep up with the lemon water it cant hurt for sure, but once they are in the ureter its in the Lords hands. It'll pass, but if it dont the urologist will have to go up there and get it, dont wait to long, God bless
@@cindyhesse5196 Keep it up. I’ve dissolved mine several times after the first time I had one. Swore I’d never go through that again. Researched lemons juice, specifically citrates, and that has been able dissolve all further stones. You can also go to the doctor and get a medication called Flomax. It is specifically meant to dilate things in order to help pass small stones. Good luck. I know they are awful 🙏
Hi person here that reversed my liver enzyme from four times higher than they’re supposed to be back to a normal range by simply changing that I drink a huge mason jar of lemon juice, juice water with a sprinkle of sea salt every single morning. I have Hashimoto’s and have been diagnosed with a fatty liver. I got out of the habit once my labs got back down, stopped doing it, and my enzymes went right back up. Worked for my liver 🙏🏼
I fell for the lemon and apple cider vinegar. I had been drinking it every day and nothing happened for me until I started the carnivore diet. Carnivore has literally changed my life. I am back to having the energy to transform my 5 acres. It would have never been possible for me until I started the carnivore. I am documenting my transformation of my health and weight on my channel. I am doing it in real time. Yep. I have been on carnivore for 2 months and boy I am so happy I started it. Thank you for everything you are doing. Hugs and blessings to you and the family always
ACV has a different type of acid it is helpful for me, but took about 4 weeks, also helpful for digestion is carbonated water, but if a person eats lots of sugar, carbs, wheat especially, it may not help much.
@@buckjones4901 I quit sugar about a year ago and you should have seen what my feet and hands went through. It was terrible. I had had sugar in my coffer for over 30 years. I am so glad I quit using sugar. Now, I am having just carnivore, and I cannot begin to tell you the difference in my health. I have lost 35 lbs. But my energy and my mind has changed the most. It was very hard for me to post a video of me but my daughter said mom you are looking so much better and that is what I needed. I used to be a size 9. Seven years ago. Menopause has not been my best friend lol
I'm mostly carnivore but I will say that the ACV definitely helped not only me but my wife as well so ACV DOES work and this is coming from a guy that is 90% carnivore 10% plant based.
Hi, tfs. Do you take acv with lemon juice together in water. I have been on acv for about two weeks now and wanting to add lemon juice to it. If so, how much acv at a time?
Dr Berry this sounds like a Dr Berg content creation. I started listening to him when I first started keto and also listened to Dr Jason Fung at the same time. Until I found YOU and Dr Eric Westman and Dr Mindy and Dr Shawn Baker. I haven’t listened to him since then. YES he helped to start with but, I’m a thorough researcher so I ended up finding information that suited me far better!!! Thank you Dr Berry for being upfront and honest. That’s why we love you!! Your authenticity is GOLD 💛🧡💛
Agreed! We used to listen to Dr Berg too but found he was actually making our health worse. He told all the dangers of ascorbic acid which we used all the time so we stopped using it. Couple years went by and we noticed getting sick more often, hair loss, rough skin etc..... We put that back in our diet and all that is reversed now. Also, his seven cups of veggies everyday, menopause omad very bad for women and their cortisol etc.... I think Berg acts like he knows more than he really does
Like many comments on here I can also say Lemon juice has helped me. I was having digestive issues and found lemon water helped. It is also naturaly adds electrolytes to water. I don't buy into the extreme claims but if your on your health journey lemon water is a nice addition and shouldn't be reduced to just a enhancer to sparkling water.
I have been drinking lemon water and I have experienced clear skin, tones of vitamin C that has deterred sickness and more energy. Mostly clear and radiant skin!
I just started drinking it every day about 2 weeks ago. And I can tell you my bowel movement, which was non-existent, has become regular, and I feel better! I literally tried everything and expressed concern when I went to have a colonoscopy and they say no blockages and my doctor started me on linzezz (i think thats how its spelled) but it was terrible for me worked like a laxative on steroids and I didn't want to have to do that daily. But THE LEMON WATER is WORKING FOR ME . Natural bowel movement, and I'm going EVERY DAY NOW!!! So the effects on the Kidneys and Intestines have to be correct. 😊
I don’t think the point of this video is to discourage you to drink lemon water. It’s to debunk the serious claims by someone else that lemon water fixes/reduces xyz.
Here we go -- now a bunch of folks will start arguing over their favorite UA-cam health-related influencers. Really getting sick of this. Take what suits you, leave the rest, and if you can muster the self-discipline, don't argue with strangers on the internet even if you're convinced that you're 100 percent correct. Our country and the entire world are in such deep shit right now -- find a way to not add to everyone's misery if you want to do something positive. I'm done.
And here I was using lemon everyday. Well, it does make ACV more tolerable when mixed together with some salts. Used it with sparkling water and it tastes like kombucha without the sugar. Dr. Berry has a recipe how to make it. Thank you, btw, Dr. Berry for leading me to carnivore diet. I was diagnosed at the age of 32 with DM2, obesity, high trigs, high LDL, and uric acid. I tried all other means including medications but they did not reverse my diseases. I've been on carnivore for 8months now, I lost 40+lbs, lowered my blood sugar below 100, lowered my trigs and LDL, and I felt even better than before. You are a blessing to an Asian guy who loved rice for 32years and an answered prayer to reversing diabetes.🤜🤛 Cheers, Mabuhay, and God bless!
@@romeliaarmstrong6143 how long have you been on the carnivore diet? Is it strictly carnivore? Are you increasing your animal fat intake? Are you doing exercise like brisk walking? These are just some of the factors that would affect your weight and figure. You can check Dr. Berry and Dr. Westman's videos on how to start carnivore the right way. It took me 3mos before I saw the weight and figure take shape. It took me years so I know for a fact that weight loss will not happen at the snap of a finger. Also, another great indicator is that your clothes become more loose. I take that as a big win over my weight coz I can gain muscle mass and bone density and my weight doesn't change. My clothes, on the other hand, have become more loose than before. That is the great sign of change imo.
I am pretty sure I know who that “influencer” is and he, additionally, always has some product to sell at the end of his videos. He had a video out trashing the carnivore diet, too. Keep up the great work YOU are doing!
The one reason that Dr. Ken Berry stands “Head & Shoulders” above the rest is he has the humility & brilliance to say “Based on my further research & scientific fact, I Was Wrong.” Then goes on to explain why.

Hi, i am 63yrs old... i am super fit, super energetic, very youthful looking, good figure...beautiful skin. i never get a cold, never flu ever. My cholesterol is 4.5. I have never taken medication for anything in my life...My blood pressure is normal. I have half a lemon with peel and warm water every morning before breakfast. I feel really better after as well. I do drink this with a glass straw as the acid would affect my teeth... all my own good teeth still...I have been doing this for the past 30 plus years... i am a wellness therapist and believe one must do what works for you , and if you feel the difference in your health and body, well done to you❤...
Could it be that the amount of water you drink is the more important factor here and that the lemon is just flavor? Have you tested only water without lemon over a certain time period to see if it actually is the lemon that is the helpful factor? If not, how can you tell the lemon is that beneficial and not just flavor? I'm not saying it does nothing but when multiple factors are to be taken into consideration, you cant isolate a single factor to be beneficial.
@@pythontest512 agree.... just hydrating in the morning is beneficial, plus, how does drinking out of a glass straw change the acidity of the lemon? Pretty sure that it doesn't. If it makes you feel good, right on! But I doubt it's the reason you enjoy good health, more likely genetics, a healthy weight which probably means you eat a pretty low carb diet, and exercise.
Wow interesting that a person comments on their experience and you comeback with disbelief. She explained why and the outcome and you ask how does she know? She knows because the lemon is a fruit that contains vitamins etc. It does not just flavour the water. When you ask a question in future think about what you are asking and make it make sense. 🙄😅
@@mentalhealth9256 It makes perfect sense to question things before you make assumptions. I also did not respond in disbelieve. That is your assumption. I stated that if multiple things have changed, it might not be what she things it is which is perfectly valid but i guess assumptions are fine as long as they suit your opinion. Maybe you should review your assumptions before commenting on valid questions.
I was going to skip this video because I felt I don't need any lemon juice in my life. And yet I decided to watch. You never fail to deliver the best content, Doc!
I started drinking lemon water and didn't see or feel any difference so now I drink it when I can cause I like it. Too much work for what it does for me. Glad it works for other people.
I just wanted to say , I like both of you guys Dr Berg and Dr Berry , both of you have helped countless of ppl with your online videos. there's no need to compete or talk about another Dr , just do your thing and live and let live. thanks guys !
Agree @brooksy8461, why tear the other down. Dr. Berg stresses HEALTHY KETO AND FASTING as the main factors for improving metabolic health. I started my journey with him & find his content very reliable & informative. No one should take things to extremes.
I have been on Omad M-F FOR 12 Weeks 2mad on weekends, I have been drinking my ACV and whole lemon tonic for the same time, Thanks to you I'm down 32 lbs ,my fasting insulin is at 8.8 I want it below 6 thanks for all your work helping us
Sodium, potassium & chloride. I use smart/vitamin water and pickle juice. I'm mostly low carb but the keto diet is what helped me. Intermittent fasting was the game changer for me.
I stopped drinking coffee and replaced it with hot water and lemon every morning. My stomach thanks me every day. Thank you for validating my morning ritual. I'm also ketovore. I feel wonderful at 64.
@@mogotsimpho I’m wondering this too…. The acidity of lemon on the tooth enamel would be a big concern, although you can neutralize acids with dairy, so maybe just don’t let it sit for too long and then follow it up with kefir, cheese, cream, etc., and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing teeth. ❤
@@PeaceIsYeshua😁 After I drink anything other than plain water, I do drink plain water and swish it vigorously in my mouth a few times with a few rinses to minimize negative affects of lemons, coffee for the few other things I drink.
In the Caribbean and Africa this is quite common. And thankfully the don't have depleted, demineralized soil like we do in the U.S. so their oral health is actually far better than ours. They also enjoy things like eating clay which is quite powerful and which we are lacking.
I drank lemon juice all day for three days and then checked my urine pH... It was more alkaline than usual. Which aligns with the information that says lemon makes our body less acidic
I add 1/2 lemon with a pinch of pink salt to 20 ounces of ice water and drink that throughout the morning. I have zero scientific proof, but that combination makes me feel better than when I just drank plain water.
There's just something about lemon and salt water❤! I drink a cup of hot lemon water and salt in the morning now in place of my two to three cups of coffee. Then a few times throughout the day I have a few drops of lemon and salt in the water wirh ice. It definitely hydrates me more than water and salt. I sometimes switch to vinegar, but lemon is my go to. I am carnivore in every other way.
My personal experience: drinking lemon water helped me to get rid of the biofilm, accumulating probably due to my dairy consumption. I used to try to clear my throat frequently, singing became almost impossible. I tried lemon water in the morning and late afternoon as well. I could feel a substantial difference within 24 hours and there is no need for constant throat clearing, anymore. This was the problem I had been experiencing for several years. So: even though I really like Dr. Berry’s videos, this is a first instance I have to say, your research, Dr. Berry, was either not thorough enough, or you were too eager to bash your fellow medical professional, whom you happen to call “an influencer”.
Agree. One must not take some separate videos out of the context. I have done quite a number of Berg's videos too and I have no impression that he would ever trying to advise some wonder cure which does not require following proper diets and fitness excercises. But I give credits to all the good persons who try to educate people.
@@xessq1 As one wise person noted - everyone is special. Try it and see if it does any change for you. It does for thousands, maybe it will for you too. I do both lemon/vinegar water and diary in reasonable amounts and all is well.
@@SwampWader All i was asking is if something causes you issues, maybe eliminating or reducing that which causes you issues would be a good thing? ... breaking it down to the most basic of concepts... whenever you hit your hand with a hammer it hurts, so maybe don't hit your hand with a hammer?
The Burrito respects your honesty and integrity. Bravo. Am currently trying to wean myself off a sugar addiction and go full carnivore to help my severely fatty liver. I am down to one can of pop per day and one meal, usually supper with starch (potato or pasta/rice). I have been experimenting with water to try and make it more palatable. Started filtering the water, which makes a huge difference in flavor and have tried adding little bits of things like lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, etc. My second phase will be to switch to flavored seltzer which has 'flavorings' but no carbs and is way healthier than the two liters of pop I have consumed in the past. I may stop at flavored seltzer or I may go to plain seltzer or just plain water at some point, who knows. Phase two also includes taking all carbs from all meals and having zero meals with starches per day instead of one. I see all these people who go cold turkey to carnivore and they end up having super bad sugar withdrawals or they just feel sick at first and one of the people I trust who does carnivore said that some long-term heavy sugar addicts, like me, have to wean themselves down first or their withdrawals will be unbearable.
Yep, I fell for it, blended the whole lemon, tasted almost as bad as ACV, even brushed my teeth with it. You're right, did nothing but make me loose, was costly, and grossed me out. Ribeye, there's the answer! Healing me one steak at a time, just wish it was cheaper. Thank you Dr Berry for 'caring more for others' than getting views; though I hope this one gets 22 million!!
i love ribeye, but i rotate with chuck steak and grass fed burgers ever three days to keep costs down. on the third day the ribeye tastes like such a treat. try it...
@@jmfreedome9863 yes, been doing something like that, even eat chicken liver, sardines, mackerel and pink salmon; I didn't use to like steak - love it now!
Been watching your stuff for years love all your advice. I do have personal experience with lemon juice for kidney stones. In the morning empty stomach, Half a cup pure lemon juice and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Stones dissolved to the point they passed without even knowing except for before and after X-rays. Doctor went from you need surgery to where did they go.
This worked for my aunt. She didn't believe the dr., even after he showed her an xray of her stones! If I recall, it was more olive oil than lemon juice, but still, she was cured! No surgery and the stones disappeared.
@@FransceneJK98 a coffee cup of cruises pure lemon juice from Publix and a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil the yellow glass bottle with the horse on it every morning had trouble peeing week flow with pain was waiting on surgery but then the flow got better and the pain went away went back to the doctor and they were gone
I have been drinking lemon water for 4 years along with taking magnesium. My Kidney Stones have stopped!! I still get annual x-ray and check up with my urologist because of my history. One month ago, He told me to keep doing what I'm doing because it works:)
Dr. Jason Fung has quoted a Japanese study showing that vinegar and lemon juice can lower the glycemic effect of carbs, sometimes by as much as 40%. Is this a bogus study?
If you drink something like vinegar or lemon juice before eating food it keeps the blood sugar from spiking but it doesn't lower it. Careful, I got ulcers from lemon juice and plain soda.
I have read that for years. Drinking either a glass of water with tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar will stop glucose spikes if taken prior to eating. I have also heard and read that if you cook, then refrigerate potatoes, rice, pasta then reheat to eat it becomes resistant starch and will not spike glucose.
Found from the beginning of my keto/carnivore journey ( 2018 ) that you have to have discernment when watching these influencers. I really appreciate you Dr. Berry! You are my trusted go to. Started my journey at age 69 and lost 80 pounds! Gained a few back over the years but now switched to carnivore with fantastic results, lost the pounds that creeped back👍
I just started the 2nd of October. I haven't taken any meds since. No Xanax no Klonopin gabapentin. Nothing. I feel so much better. Never knew I could ever feel this good.
I follow Dr. Berg's BASIC ideas of low carb-carnivore, intermittent fasting, but I stay away from the more complex minutia of macronutrients and exotic herbs. His information got me started on the path I am on now Down 120 pounds.
Dr Bergs info saved my life and got me from 312# to 210#. I've been on a stall for about 2 years. Just started carnivore today! I love Dr Berry and Neisha!!❤
@JerseyShoreJim I think you're over thinking it. Assuming he intentionally lied?? It would be more fair to assume that he believes the information he provides to be the most accurate at the time he provides it. Afterall, he religiously includes and breaks down studies during his videos.
Lemon water has helped me with my colon problems so much. I will continue drinking this refreshing elixir. It taste great and it provides benefits to the whole body.❤
Ok but one thing I know for sure about lemon water is that it's anti-inflammatory for the liver. Lemon water is helping me heal from hepatitis caused by steatosis. I no longer have steatosis but I still have inflammation and lemon water reduces the pain 100%.
Have you tested this with just increased water without lemon? It might be that it's the water that does this and lemon just helps you with the taste. Because, if you start drinking lemon water than that means you increased your water intake as well. Unless you already drank that amount of water and just added lemon to it but for most people that is not the case. Also, are you certain nothing else in your diet and lifestyle has changed that might have contributed to this positive outcome? When multiple factors are to be taken into consideration, you cannot isolate a single factor as beneficial. I'm not saying it does nothing, but you should take other factors into consideration too. Unless nothing else has change and all you did was add lemon to the water you already drank.
It may have been coincidence, but one winter my kids and I were addicted to making fresh squeezed lemonade. That year we had no sickness and I had 6 kids between the ages of 3 and 10, so there's that.
Trust your experience..high dose vitamin C in lemon fights viruses and bacteria. Am done with Dr. Ken berry's arrogance. He used to be good but the attitude these days are cocky.
Hi. It did. I buy lemon juice. Just a little lemon size container. I put it in my elderflower home made tea. Taste fantastic. It Uplift my inner spirit when I need a boost😊❤
I happen to know for a fact that Lemon Juice works for kidney stones, but I do not over use it. I had a kidney stone that was hard to pass and i ate a whole lemon and it broke the stone in tiny pieces overnight.
He has a newer video on the benefits of lemon from 1 month ago. He essentially saved my life some years ago and if he thinks lemon has these benefits, I'm guessing there may be something to it. If I tried to consume everything touted by every health expert I watch, though, I would never be able to. So I just do the fasting and eat healthy foods in between. I do drink lemon almost daily as it makes me feel good.
They *all* over hype stuff, (did you know ginger can reverse diabetes and an ounce of organic ginger root killed Hitler in a duel on top of a zeppelin?), even if there is *some* truth to what they claim and they have generally decent/good diet advice. I also would not be able (or be able to afford) to consume everything touted by even one of the 'alternate health' experts. But, if you believe the extent of their claims, I'm pretty sure you can: avoid every disease, cure every disease, be able to fly, shoot lasers from your eyes, and live forever just by taking 20% of the things they recommend.
Dr. Berg isn't a Doctor. He (and his wife) is a racist Scientologist who thinks he helped create the human race and body and he laughs and brags about how much money he makes from his viewer feom his dangerous supplements. Go watch the interview with his son...
I think the individual referred to is Dr Berg. In his video, with 11m views and from 2 years ago, Dr Berg does explain with sufficient details the reasons for the benefits he lists and does state that some tests were ran on animals. He doesn’t just recommend lemon water as a miracle drink. He qualifies his statements.
Makes me wonder if he watched the video. He was very clear about the weight loss thing. Anyone that watches any video and doesn’t listen to what’s being said can misinterpret anything.
Good point about these kinds of videos. AND Dr. Berg has tons and tons of Keto and now even carnivore videos. Your style is blunt, to the point - "eat your fatty meat". This is fine, but there are so many grey areas and areas of health concern that you don't cover. Dr. Berg covers these things, and these videos can be extremely helpful. He had a protocol for shingles that saved me. Even my mainstream doc was asking for it so she could help her dad - when she had nothing for him but a medication with many side effects. Lemon water has helped me pee! I'm Keto five years now, but sometimes the flow is slow. Seriously, this is doing something. And apple cider vinegar does reduce the insulin repose if you've have some carb creep.If Dr. Berg was ONLY making light weight clickable content, I'd agree with you- but he's not. He does a lot of good, and all your eye rolling over his channel isn't helpful. You guys need to be on the same team - you actually ARE on the same team. Why not go after some of these docs/influencers who have nothing but old/bad science to back up their claims?
My father was a dentist. He used to tell us drinking lemon juice and/or apple cider vinegar regularly was hard on your teeth. Try True Lemon in your water if you need flavoring.
I follow that influencer. I followed his advice on lemon juice and ACV every morning for a month. It’s totally changed by stomach! I digest my food was. I could never eat dairy. No problem digesting now!! 😊
Dr Berg has helped countless numbers of people but what we have to keep in mind not everyone is right all the time. When need to listen and trust ourselves and what our own bodies tell us as well. We can also think for ourselves, my point being none of us has it all figured out. We are all doing the best we can. I respect both of these men but both are still humans. Keep up the good work. And yes we have to be open to different opinions. Take what you need and discard the rest.
Uhm. Maybe watch the first 10 seconds of a video before encompassing the whole context to the thumbnail? It's clickbait. Like most things on UA-cam. It's to get viewers that actually think eating bugs are a good idea. Of course, he deep dives into why it is not a good idea and how you'd have to eat a bunch to get a small amount of nutrients & minerals. @@swissmiss6526

Well, I actually googled it the other day because I wanted to know how many carbs is in the lemon. I also googled how many carbs in an onion because I’m on a low carb diet so it is important to me. I like to. Stay under 20 so every carb counts.
@@eileenmaize8245 if you’re counting carbs, it makes much sense to know how many carbs is in a lemon because two carbs is a lot when you only get to have 20
It can also help to mask the flavor of trace mineral drops or iodine drops if you're trying to drink them in plain water instead of coffee or tea. The True Lemon crystal packeys can work for that too.
Issues with lemons is that they are acidic and rotted my teeth! I stopped using flouride toothpaste years ago and no cavities ever since, but after Dr Berg recommended it, started having a shot of lemon juice daily and 3 cavities so far. -_-
I know Dr Eric Berg promotes drinking lemon water, but promotes the blending the whole thing, skin and all. To be fair, Dr Berg promotes it in connection with keto, proper diet, etc.
I've listened to Dr Berg and if something has one thread of validity to it..... he gives it full credit as a cure..... he doesn't give negative Solutions but some of the solutions he does give are so minimal that they shouldn't even be mentioned
Dr. Barry good morning and thank you for another great video! The one thing I’ve noticed since adopting a proper human diet is it’s very easy to maintain weight and metabolic health like you’ve said before we don’t see animals in the wild striving every day to manage their weight . We are the only animal that does this. I wish people wouldn’t over complicate health and think that there’s always some hidden thing that they’re not being told about in order to lose weight. for me it’s really simple once I’ve discovered low carbohydrate, eating like you suggested , it’s literally changed my life in many many ways that I’ve talked about before and others have talked about all the time on these videos. Thanks again for your time hard work and dedication to to the PHD community.
There is a hidden thing that they are not being told by mainstream health providers. They are NOT being told about keto diet and that they don't need statins. Mainstream doctors, dietitians, and the government still say move more and eat less. . ..
I respect dr berry and i respect dr berg. Lemon has helped or maybe its not the lemon water maybe its going ketovore and changing my entire lirestyle.

I only drink lemon water, day and night, nothing else. I had never even heard of the claimed health benefits on this list except in potentially reducing Kidney Stones. I have been trying to break bad consumption habits over the last few years, and it ended my insulin resistence, and allowed be to get off three prescription medications. I no longer eat added sugar or processed foods, and few carbs. But deciding what to drink was the hardest part. My drink of choice over the last decade was diet soda. I also liked sugar free lemonade (artificial sweeteners). I have a over sensitivity to bitter taste. If an enemy wants to torture me for information, make me eat a grapefruit. My taste buds find the bitter in everything: coffee, tea, etc. I tried decafe coffee, but I have to bury the bitter in creamer and artificial sweeteners. But the creamer I liked was a dangerous processed food with dozens of manufacturer additives. So I tried tea, but I had to bury it in artificial sweeteners that are potentially unsafe. I dehydrated myself (unintentionally) by trying to force myself to drink what I don't like. Carbonated beverages in the diet sodas was also causing acid reflex, and I don't like straight water. Drinking carbonated beverages over the years was literally causing internal damage, but I didn't know what else to drink. This dehydration caused a kidney stone that blocked one kidney. This backed up fluid got infected, causing appendicitis. So my condition was potentially life threatening. So when researching what to do to prevent another kidney stone, of course, I need to stay hydrated, so, once again, I need to find something I enjoy drinking. I actually measure now the amount of fluid I drink each day. Unlike grapefruit, I like the taste of lemon. Even though my stone was calcium oxalate, for the years prior to this stone, I had no excess calcium, and essentially zero oxalate in my diet. So I now I drink only lemon water day and night (straw). Does it reduce kidney stones, I don't know, and I don't care. What matters is it can't contribute to stones. Does it have any of those other health benefits on the list, I don't know, and I don't care. What matters is that I know it isn't bad for me, and I have finally ended the reign of artificial sweeteners in my life. The kidney stone claims of lemon water, correct, or incorrect, gave me the idea. Knowing what to drink is a big deal in a person's life, and a major turning point in mine.
my dad lived to 90 before he died from lung cancer. dad loved everything sour - plain yogurt, sour cream, and lemons & grapefruits. he make a half gallon of lemon water that would make you mouth pucker. i can only say he would go up on the roof ever spring til 80.
Thanks doc. Straight to the point. I personnally enjoy squeezing a lemon into a glass of ice water with some salt. Great thirst quencher on a hot day. But just occasionally as a cooler/treat, not as a daily staple.
Hi Dr.Berry,
I loved your videos and practically they saved my life! My A1C came down from 10.2 to 6.3 in 6 months and I am off most of my medications except for one blood pressure medicine. My doctor wouldn't believe it but I just let the test data speaks for itself! In my doctor's mind, she thinks I am too extreme!
I saw your Lemon water video and I agreed with you that just lemon juice by itself doesn't provide much benefit! However, if you use the whole lemon (including the skin and everything), it does have some health benefits in my opinion.
Four months into my diet, my weight loss stalled and my blood sugar stayed at 110 mg/dL for some reasons that I wasn't aware of. I couldn't figure out why they stalled and what I screwed up! I tried everything and I even thought my black tea and my blood pressure medication was the cause of the problem. I stopped them and nothing change except my blood pressure was getting higher! Then I saw one of the videos from Dr.James Kneller about how he eats a lemon a day and its health benefits. I figured I would give it a try. The way he's doing is kind of gross I have to admit! So I turned the whole lemon into a drink with water and added Stevia. To my surprised, my blood sugar went down to 85 mg/dL that afternoon and it stayed there. And my weight loss resumed within the next few days.
I am not medically smart enough to understand why or what's going on but I have to believe that the whole lemon juice did affect my body chemistry somehow. I've been drinking this cocktail for two weeks now. And my sugar is at 75mg/dL now and my weight is going down slowly!
I just want to put it out here and perhaps you can investigate if the whole lemon approach indeed has some benefits that we are not aware of. After all, what you are doing is indeed life saving and I really want to help this community to spread out the words and fix some health problems that pharmaceutical companies don't want anyone to fix!
God bless you.

❤❤❤thank you David! This is a wonderful post! When I use lemon in cooking, I always use the whole lemon and eat the peel. I do with other citrus too. I'm going to try to be more aware and intentionally eat a little more lemon and see if I can improve my results too.😊

Thank you for your input. This is the type of success story we all need.

Hi.. :) I'm a retired Physical Therapist with a history of Kidney stones. I had a kidney stone (seen on Xray) and My family physician told me to drink a glass of warm water and half a lemon every morning 1/2 hour before eating. The kidney stone disappeared in 10 days (proven by Xray). Since doing this I have not had another kidney stone in 10 years now. A happy camper!!👍👍
Wow wow . I drink lemon water almost daily and seeing the comment makes me happy haha . Kidney stones are no joke
Thank you for sharing this! I too have known people who have been able to dissolve or soften kidney stones which then pass through the body easily with zero pain by using the remedy you just described.
Glad to hear I'll try that, i have kidney problems myself.
This was the only point he made that I whole heartedly believe he might not understand. It definitely keeps stones away and or reduces developed stones
My personal experience is the same. Having had stones numerous times, I've learned that at the first sign of those tweaky kidney jabs I get started on the lemon water. It works to pass the stones. I've also heard a urologist say that lemon has been shown to inhibit binding of oxalates(but wouldn't say it dissolved them). So if I'm going to enjoy some high oxalate food like almonds or spinach I always have some lemon water with it.
I am a water drinker and I drink my water with lemon juice every single day. I've done this for decades. I do it simply because I find it refreshing and I like the taste.
and much better than soda of any kind

I would love to share something that happened to me a while back. My cholesterol had gone sky high, and my kidney doctor wanted to set in a extra medicine to get it down. I was already using lots of medication because of my kidney failure, and told her to give me a couple of weeks to try something else.
For the next two weeks I ate garlic every day. And I love garlic. I ate it raw, just chopped it up, and swallowed it with a glass of water.
Two weeks later I was back in the hospital for a check up, and I will NEVER forget the doctors face when she was checking my blood test results. She turned around, looked at me, with eyes full of unbelief, saying:
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE????? Your cholesterol is 100 % NORMAL.

I found both my PCP and urologist were totally ignorant and very skeptical of carnovore but could not argue with the bloodwork results.
Anyone even remotely familiar with Dr. Berg's videos knows very well that he would never endorse the idea that just drinking water with lemon would work miracles. Dr. Berg places more than 80% emphasis on regular healthy habits, especially the KETO diet, intermittent fasting, regular physical activity, avoiding stress, sleeping well and above all avoiding sugars, carbohydrates, vegetable oils, alcohol and junk food, or reducing to as little as possible.
Exactly.
That's absolutely correct, and well said!👍

I have much respect for both Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg. Dr Berg has introduced thousands of people to the ketogenic diet and along the way helps the same people find Dr Berry.
Oh, you need to look into what his son says about his research. Berg is a shill for Scientology. Just do a search for Scientology.
Yep, totally agree. This was a little disappointing me that Dr. Berry would do this. He took a LOT out of context with Dr. Bergs video on lemon juice, and I've been a big fan of Dr. Berry but Dr. Berg has helped both me and my wife with natural remedies and keto. I'm mostly carnivore now and though I enjoy it I hate to see people try and tear other down when they are really good at helping people. Very disappointing!
The sad thing is that his money goes to the Church of Scientology. He’s not what you think. He does have some great information which I appreciate but to him anyone who isn’t a Scientologist, is what they call a “Suppressive Person” or “SP”. And that’s how he refers to us. Especially if there’s a negative comment made.

Seriously? All I know is that generations of people people in my family all had kidney stones. I am the only person to make a consistent daily habit of drinking lemon water daily since my early 20's. I am 50 now. I am literally the only one who has not had any kidney problems.
You are aware that your anecdote literally proves nothing, right?

Glad you were spared the kidney stone journey for so long. When I was 50 I thought the same thing; then I discovered that there is no maximum age for kidney stones to appear. I am 74 and just diagnosed with a very pretty star shaped one with bands of minerals-kinda like an agate. Note to all: doctors are easily annoyed by people who request careful removal so the stone can be used in jewelry....
"this is a channel about science not fairy tales" ive never read anything more ironic.
Dr. Berry, I enjoy your videos. I went through a time where I had kidney stone attacks 6 times in 5 years. The last time I required surgery and was out of work for 3 months. When I visited my urologist he told me that the stone was gone but there was at least another 10 in my kidneys. He did not offer much hope but said some people benefit from drinking real lemon juice. Lemonade with real lemon was recommended, but I did not want the sugar. So I started drinking a glass of lemon juice from a fresh lemon every morning. That was about 12 years ago and I have not had another attack. I know you said "maybe" they benefit those with stones, I can attest that it changed my life. Perhaps you can do a bit more research on this particular topic.
Right. He's way off here.
Same with my. Constant kidney stones. Until she started drinking lemon water

I have had horrible time with stones as well and i have 1 lemon every day since my last stone 4 years ago and haven't had any more since

@@TDMIdaho how much lemon juice do you add to your water?
@@kathysmith82402 whole lemons a day

@@kathysmith8240 I don’t do it regularly, I just got bottles of lemonade, and a bottle of straight lemon juice, and made the lemonade as sour as I could tolerate. I drank this the entire drive from Los Angeles to northern CA. Once I was in Northern California I kept drinking lemonade. But not excessively. I switched to add more water. I would not recommend drinking that much lemon juice on a regular basis. It’s pretty harsh on your teeth but I didn’t have time to go to the dr. I also knew what kind of kidney stones I had cause I take a medication that causes them. I don’t think all kidney stones dissolve in citric acid.
I’ve been watching your (Dr. Barry’s) videos for a long time and I’ve always respected your opinion, but on this video, I just don’t understand. my story. I believe my father had stage four kidney failure. Somebody told me to Add little lemon juice and apple cider vinegar to his water every day and will get rid of his stones and flushes kidneys out. I’m not a physician, but I did it because I love my dad and wanted him to be as healthy as possible. That being said I did this for three months, my dad sadly ended up, passing away, His primary care physician specialized in geriatrics, contacted me to give his condolences. And after doing so he said, I want to read you your dad‘s test results on his kidneys. It couldn’t understand why my father‘s kidneys went from beginning in stage kidney failure to kidneys of a 20 year-old. I always kept him in the loop of everything I I would try from a natural approach. So when he said this to me, I said all I did is give him was a little lemon juice and little apple cider vinegar with his water for the last three months. I’m not sure he believed me! but that’s really all I did! So obviously the test proves that it did work. Shortly, there after my mother-in-law was on dialysis, and had in stage kidney failure. She did her research and went forward with the same approach, and now her kidneys are way way way better! And not on dialysis anymore. I believe we have a lot to learn about the human body and what it truly is capable of. There must be something to it! Just my opinion.

About ten years ago I lost a kidney due to being a “stone-maker.” I had stones in the my surviving kidney as well! I started drinking lemon water every day, first thing in the morning. Each year I go in for an ultrasound. Bottom line, I’m kidney stone free. I do agree that it makes water easier and more enjoyable to drink, but anecdotally I’m giving it a thumbs up for eliminating my kidney stones.
How much lemon juice do you add to your water?
@@kathysmith8240 I usually mix it 4 parts water to one part lemon or lime juice. Doesn't matter if its fresh or from a bottled concentrate. I was able to dissolve the stone without having to pass it.
I do intermittent fasting and stick to a low-carb / keto diet (even here in Rome, the carb capital of the world.) Drinking lots of water during my fast (20 hours a day, gotten totally used to it) is essential. I LOVE lemon juice simply because it is one of several ways to enjoy drinking water. I filter my water, let my Soda Stream carbonate it and add lemon juice. I also put lemon juice in my food (I'm half Greek, and we Greeks love lemon in our food.) I brush my teeth half an hour after drinking or eating with lemon juice for obvious reasons. Lemons have indirectly helped me to go from 70 to 52 kg, a weight I am reacquainted with after three decades, with a closet full of clothes that I loved so much I could not discard and now wearing again! Three cheers for lemon juice! But I love Dr. Berry's advice on carbs. I've never felt more alive, more calm, and more able to simply walk past all the gelaterias and pizzerias in Rome without a care ... and long live meat, veggies and lemon juice!

And whether he is right or wrong we should remember that no one is going to be right 100% of the time no matter how well meaning.
Many people tout research today that will be debunked tomorrow. And Dr. Berg heavily relies on studies. He doesn't just make anecdotal or surmised pronouncements.
Let me also say that many of the doctors who are doing functional medicine are chiropractors. They had a whole body approach when typical Western trained M.D.s were treating symptoms and dismissing concerned patients like me. My husband's doctor told him he would need to be on medication for the rest of his life to manage his diabetes. At 31!

I agree! Great comment.💜🙏
How are you sure that the lemon water itself is the reason your blood work improved? If you increased your water consumption as a whole, and changed your diet and lifestyle, it’s impossible to know that the lemon water is what saved you.
The only way it would be proof is if you kept every single thing in your life the same (including the amount of water you already consume) and just added lemon everyday.
I think people are really passionate about lemon water because it helps them to consume more water in general which makes them feel better which is great! But if there’s no scientific evidence then there’s just not.
I always wondered what a chiropractor was doing making nutritional videos.
My Dr knows i do lemon juice I've told her, and recently she asked me not to do lemon juice before my blood work, shes always trying put me on pills! notta!!!
Dr. Berry , i have a lot of respect for your expertise as an M.D. but as far as lemon juice for kidney stones you need to know that drinking the juice of one lemon a day for kidney stones has changed my life dramatically. I can testify that it has truly reduced my kidney stone problem to almost zero from having to deal with them constantly
I'm sure it's helped you in some way, but as Dr. Berry pointed, stopping the consumption of what is the leading cause of kidney stones (oxalate) is what will help reduce (in some people it will prevent) the formation of kidney stones. I hope you drink your lemon juice through a straw to help protect your tooth enamel. Lemon juice has certain side effects while stopping the consumption of oxalate foods doesn't.
It helped with my heartburn. I don't need it much anymore.
Nope don't think it was the lemon...more like the uptake in more water. Dr tell kidney stone patients to drink 2 liter of water a day and never have a kidney stone again....Not sure that a very good answer though. Just keep your potassium up is the best way to avoid them I think. I heard they are from low potassium. Guess that means eat more meat! See how I did that...got right back to the healthiest food there is for the human....meat!
Stopping eating oxalates is what helped me! I had massive kidney stones on a keto diet with lots of spinach salads and almond flour. No stones now on carnivore.
It gave me heartburn
I had been on lemon water last year and had no serious colds, then I quite it for a year and I got a bad cold that almost put me in the hospital, so I went back to lemon water and my cold was gone in one week 😊

There are many viruses responsible for the common cold, hundreds of them.
Once you've encountered most of them (it happens soon or later, no need to have symptoms each time) and provided you are reasonably healthy you almost never get a cold. That's that simple. Note the terms "most of them" and "almost" there are important. So you can stay easily 3 or 4 years without getting a single cold but one day you meet one of the few ones that your immune system didn't know yet and you are ill for a few days or even for 3 weeks. No matter if you take your lemon juice every day or not.

They were horrible for side effects, so after afew years they came out with doctor prescribed Prevacid; to which I started taking daily. I was on that until I was 17, because my doctor would only prescribe me a 30-day supply and then want me back in for a doctor visit every 30 days(mind you, I was paying $60 per visit, and $250 a month for the pills at the time); one day I asked "Has anything changed in the last six months? Am I getting better or worse?" and he said "Nothing will change, you'll always have GERD." and I said "Then why don't you prescribe me 6-12 months at a time? Why am I coming in here every 30 days if nothing is going to change or needs to be tracked?" and with a straight face he says "I just like to see you."
I got angry; and I told him I'll not be coming back, he can shove the prescription up his ass. Walked out, paid for that visit; and I never saw him again as a family doctor. I'm 41 now; he's retired.
Here's something they don't tell you; DIET is how you manage stomach acid and GERD. Lifestyle changes, not medication. I was taking over the counter omeprazole for years, because it was the same thing as Prevacid but didn't require a doctor's prescription. I took those until I was 30; and then I did my own research; and learned that by taking proton pump inhibitors(Zantac, omeprezole, prevacid, etc) that your stomach goes into over-drive trying to create more stomach acid since it's acid secretion is being stymied. So if you miss a dose or two; you REALLY pay for it.
Know what the solution is? Stop taking them, ween yourself off of them; DEAL with the flare-ups; and then start making better lifestyle choices for what you eat.
I still have GERD, but after a month my stomach acid production went back to normal and I wasn't coughing it up into my throat, nor was it readily shooting up into my throat or mouth like it was before. I actually almost suffocated afew times as a teenager from the excess acidic mucous in my stomach, it covered my windpipe and almost killed me in my sleep. This mucous was so bad that when I'd brush my teeth in the morning, I'd have to cough it up off the top of my stomach; and it was a thick, viscous slime; it took hot water and soap to actually wash it off my hands and down the drain; but I had to cough it up every morning to 'clear' the top of my stomach, otherwise it would get coughed up into my throat and choke me during the day.
I can now eat things I used to not be able to touch, chili, spaghetti, etc. I tend to stay away from acidic foods for the most part, and I'm not a fan of spicy foods at all; but it's so much better than it was 15+ years ago through most of my adult life and childhood. With GERD I have to becareful how I sit or sleep, and obviously can't have anything 'bad' to eat before bed or I risk it coming back up in my throat; but that's just life with GERD itself; when it comes to eating foods, the most I have to worry about is an upset stomach, bloating and diarhea; but that's part of making better food choices or being prepared for the outcome of what I eat.
Also of note; I don't take Tums or anything else; I don't take any medicines to settle my stomach or alter anything like that anymore; because those act as band-aids; and for those of us with intestinal issues we can't be covering them up; we need to be more pro-active with our choices and accept that we gotta curb ourselves away from bad food decisions.
Helped me too. Ditch the heartburn "medicines" for good. It causes a bunch of problems. Killed a close family member. 😥
@@ShevaiAsan Yes. The things you described, especially the proton pump inhibitors ruined my close family members insides so bad that she never recovered. Towards the end, I learned all the natural ways to help the issue, but it was too late for her. I follow the anti-inflammatory diet and also drink lemon tea daily. I no longer have heartburn. Like you, I can even eat spaghetti sometimes, which used to give me terrible heartburn.
I've been drinking lemon juice for over 2 years now, it is a miracle solution!
I lost weight, my indigestion issues are no more, my BP is down, my type 2 diabetes is gone, and it does help with kidney stones. Plus, it helps me drink more water.
Not sure on the fatty liver, cholesterol benefits. But my stomach is flatter then ever, I think it help remove the fat around internal organs.

Dr. Berg's advice got me from 245 to a tight 145 over a few months. I felt better and better every day. My labs went from wrecked, due to metabolic syndrome and diabetes, to perfect. My feet even got smaller. I am forever grateful to him for sharing his knowledge. PS I did not exercise at all. My bad.
I am at 245 did you do keto? Can one harm the liver and gallbladder? I strayed myself and sis walking and less food ... what diet you feel is obstanable ? And do you eat any other others.. exercise ?
@@joanneclark8256 I started flowing Dr. Bergs advice with his video on keto 101 for beginners and kept watching and learning. I cut all carbs and sugar out of my diet. I ate eggs, bacon, tuna, red meat and LOTS of dark leafy greens and other low carb vegetables. Eventually I started intermittent fasting but nothing too extreme and this was actually after my weight loss. I never exercised. I drank water and unsweet tea with lemon. At night I drank water with apple cider vinegar and lemon. I felt amazing and was never hungry. After a few days of no carbs or sugar I didn't miss them at all and found I craved the foods I was eating for keto. You will be amazed at how good you look and feel and how you shrink all over very quickly. Even my feet got smaller which may sound strange but Dr. Bergs talks about this in one of his videos.
You lost 100 lbs in 3 months?
@@chrisvanallsburg I went from pants size 20 wide to a 10 in about three months. The weight loss took about seven months. I was heavy most in my belly which is typically SO hard to lose from. On keto that tummy just went away. I went from handfuls of belly to just the smallest pinch of fat.
That is awesome blessings to you. What did you do to loose all the weight? Also how long did it take you.
I am 78, have had 1 lemon everyday for ever, I use no pharmaceuticals, only
supplements, my brother in law was a naturopath, he was 10 years older than me,
he had a good life and died in his sleep as he always wished. Thru the years, I have
learned a lot... his daughter is a herbalist, so, we have been in touch with it all,
I think that people should eat, do, try what really is good for them, we are all different.
Thank you for the videos.

It's hard to know what to believe. My kidney specialist told me to add fresh lemon juice to my water each day to help prevent further kidney stones.
My sister in law was worried to hear that she had a fatty liver, a friend told her to drink lemon water, she started it first thing every morning. After 3 months, the next test, fatty liver was gone.
She even told me that many commented on her glowing skin.
May be each individual is different

Sometimes you have to take these Drs and their opinion with a grain of salt. I’m sure Dr Berry believes what he’s saying and means well but that doesn’t mean it’s fact. I believe lemon juice has more benefits than he leads on but I’m no “Dr”.
The question is what else did she change in her life? We often focus on one or very few things while we changing way more. But since drinking Lemonwater does not harm anyone unless you practice it in a very excessesive way.. why not keep doing it if one likes the taste. Just don't rely on it as the next best miracle.
Is she on The Carnivore diet, or eat mostly Protein?
She eats dead pigs.@@lightwarrior432
lol, no, I'm not giving up my lemons. I had fatty liver at stage S3. After a year of strict carnivore, it improved only slightly. I started blending a quarter to half of a lemon, peel and all, into 12oz of water daily (I missed a day here and there). By the time of my next fibroscan, my fatty liver was down to stage 0 ... very little fatty infiltration left (and the next HIDA scan showed my sluggish gallbladder was finally functioning perfectly normal after years of issue). And here's the kicker: after starting with the daily lemon water, about halfway through the year I stopped carnivore and went to a more high protein Mediterranean style diet ... yep, carbs baby. The quick and simple act of blending a quarter or half lemon daily for a refreshing lemon water drink, seemed to play a significant role in reversing my fatty liver, not to mention it brought my cholesterol down about 25 points. Dr. Berg has literally never steered me wrong yet.
Awesome!
Did you add anything else to this? Only lemon and water? Is it ok to add some salt? I need to reverse my fatty liver. Thank you

ACV has a different type of acid it is helpful for me, but took about 4 weeks, also helpful for digestion is carbonated water, but if a person eats lots of sugar, carbs, wheat especially, it may not help much.
@@buckjones4901 I quit sugar about a year ago and you should have seen what my feet and hands went through. It was terrible. I had had sugar in my coffer for over 30 years.

Dear Dr. Berry
Like I tell my young students on the daily, just play nice. We're all friends here😊
Mrs. Buretz❤
Dr Berry this sounds like a Dr Berg content creation. I started listening to him when I first started keto and also listened to Dr Jason Fung at the same time.
Until I found YOU and Dr Eric Westman and Dr Mindy and Dr Shawn Baker.
I haven’t listened to him since then. YES he helped to start with but, I’m a thorough researcher so I ended up finding information that suited me far better!!!
Thank you Dr Berry for being upfront and honest. That’s why we love you!! Your authenticity is GOLD 💛🧡💛
Agreed! We used to listen to Dr Berg too but found he was actually making our health worse. He told all the dangers of ascorbic acid which we used all the time so we stopped using it.
Couple years went by and we noticed getting sick more often, hair loss, rough skin etc.....
We put that back in our diet and all that is reversed now. Also, his seven cups of veggies everyday, menopause omad very bad for women and their cortisol etc....
I think Berg acts like he knows more than he really does
Drinking lemon water with meals has definitely helped my gastritis. We’re all different
Like many comments on here I can also say Lemon juice has helped me. I was having digestive issues and found lemon water helped. It is also naturaly adds electrolytes to water. I don't buy into the extreme claims but if your on your health journey lemon water is a nice addition and shouldn't be reduced to just a enhancer to sparkling water.
It helped blast away my gallstones .beforehand after ultrasounds. Better than surgery ijad to drunk alot of lemons 4 day but it worked
I have been drinking lemon water and I have experienced clear skin, tones of vitamin C that has deterred sickness and more energy. Mostly clear and radiant skin!
I just started drinking it every day about 2 weeks ago. And I can tell you my bowel movement, which was non-existent, has become regular, and I feel better! I literally tried everything and expressed concern when I went to have a colonoscopy and they say no blockages and my doctor started me on linzezz (i think thats how its spelled) but it was terrible for me worked like a laxative on steroids and I didn't want to have to do that daily. But THE LEMON WATER is WORKING FOR ME . Natural bowel movement, and I'm going EVERY DAY NOW!!! So the effects on the Kidneys and Intestines have to be correct. 😊
i've been drinking it throughout the day -my poops just slide out now lol. and i'm glowing 😍
I eat a diet that's high in oxalates, so therefore I put lots of lemon juice in all of my drinking water to counter the harmful effects of oxalates
I enjoy my lemon juice water. No one will change my mind.
I don’t think the point of this video is to discourage you to drink lemon water. It’s to debunk the serious claims by someone else that lemon water fixes/reduces xyz.

But no one said you shouldn't
I lost 100pds using lemon water with acv after meals no workout ate everything in smaller portions worked for me

And here I was using lemon everyday.
Well, it does make ACV more tolerable when mixed together with some salts. Used it with sparkling water and it tastes like kombucha without the sugar. Dr. Berry has a recipe how to make it.
Thank you, btw, Dr. Berry for leading me to carnivore diet. I was diagnosed at the age of 32 with DM2, obesity, high trigs, high LDL, and uric acid. I tried all other means including medications but they did not reverse my diseases. I've been on carnivore for 8months now, I lost 40+lbs, lowered my blood sugar below 100, lowered my trigs and LDL, and I felt even better than before. You are a blessing to an Asian guy who loved rice for 32years and an answered prayer to reversing diabetes.🤜🤛 Cheers, Mabuhay, and God bless!

@@romeliaarmstrong6143 how long have you been on the carnivore diet? Is it strictly carnivore? Are you increasing your animal fat intake? Are you doing exercise like brisk walking? These are just some of the factors that would affect your weight and figure.
You can check Dr. Berry and Dr. Westman's videos on how to start carnivore the right way. It took me 3mos before I saw the weight and figure take shape. It took me years so I know for a fact that weight loss will not happen at the snap of a finger. Also, another great indicator is that your clothes become more loose. I take that as a big win over my weight coz I can gain muscle mass and bone density and my weight doesn't change. My clothes, on the other hand, have become more loose than before. That is the great sign of change imo.

Could it be that the amount of water you drink is the more important factor here and that the lemon is just flavor? Have you tested only water without lemon over a certain time period to see if it actually is the lemon that is the helpful factor?
If not, how can you tell the lemon is that beneficial and not just flavor?
I'm not saying it does nothing but when multiple factors are to be taken into consideration, you cant isolate a single factor to be beneficial.
@@pythontest512 agree.... just hydrating in the morning is beneficial, plus, how does drinking out of a glass straw change the acidity of the lemon? Pretty sure that it doesn't. If it makes you feel good, right on! But I doubt it's the reason you enjoy good health, more likely genetics, a healthy weight which probably means you eat a pretty low carb diet, and exercise.
@@cidk59 the straw is to shield the acid from her teeth as to not damage the enamel
Wow interesting that a person comments on their experience and you comeback with disbelief. She explained why and the outcome and you ask how does she know?

Agree @brooksy8461, why tear the other down. Dr. Berg stresses HEALTHY KETO AND FASTING as the main factors for improving metabolic health. I started my journey with him & find his content very reliable & informative. No one should take things to extremes.
It is important when the other person is giving incorrect information. I appreciate Dr Berry for that.

I’m wondering this too…. The acidity of lemon on the tooth enamel would be a big concern, although you can neutralize acids with dairy, so maybe just don’t let it sit for too long and then follow it up with kefir, cheese, cream, etc., and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing teeth. ❤
@@PeaceIsYeshua😁 After I drink anything other than plain water, I do drink plain water and swish it vigorously in my mouth a few times with a few rinses to minimize negative affects of lemons, coffee for the few other things I drink.
In the Caribbean and Africa this is quite common. And thankfully the don't have depleted, demineralized soil like we do in the U.S. so their oral health is actually far better than ours. They also enjoy things like eating clay which is quite powerful and which we are lacking.
I drank lemon juice all day for three days and then checked my urine pH... It was more alkaline than usual. Which aligns with the information that says lemon makes our body less acidic
Thank you isn't a strong enough term to express my gratitude for this and other videos you produce.
I add 1/2 lemon with a pinch of pink salt to 20 ounces of ice water and drink that throughout the morning. I have zero scientific proof, but that combination makes me feel better than when I just drank plain water.
awesome Ann glad you spoke up.
The salt in the water is where the magic takes place!🤠 Plus the placebo effects. Helping to drink more water,cold or hot almost always helps!
There's just something about lemon and salt water❤! I drink a cup of hot lemon water and salt in the morning now in place of my two to three cups of coffee. Then a few times throughout the day I have a few drops of lemon and salt in the water wirh ice. It definitely hydrates me more than water and salt. I sometimes switch to vinegar, but lemon is my go to. I am carnivore in every other way.
My personal experience: drinking lemon water helped me to get rid of the biofilm, accumulating probably due to my dairy consumption. I used to try to clear my throat frequently, singing became almost impossible. I tried lemon water in the morning and late afternoon as well. I could feel a substantial difference within 24 hours and there is no need for constant throat clearing, anymore. This was the problem I had been experiencing for several years.
So: even though I really like Dr. Berry’s videos, this is a first instance I have to say, your research, Dr. Berry, was either not thorough enough, or you were too eager to bash your fellow medical professional, whom you happen to call “an influencer”.
Agree. One must not take some separate videos out of the context. I have done quite a number of Berg's videos too and I have no impression that he would ever trying to advise some wonder cure which does not require following proper diets and fitness excercises. But I give credits to all the good persons who try to educate people.
It's basically a Big Pharma trained one, against one who is trained to treat the whole body naturally and not just a body part!!

The Burrito respects your honesty and integrity. Bravo. Am currently trying to wean myself off a sugar addiction and go full carnivore to help my severely fatty liver. I am down to one can of pop per day and one meal, usually supper with starch (potato or pasta/rice). I have been experimenting with water to try and make it more palatable. Started filtering the water, which makes a huge difference in flavor and have tried adding little bits of things like lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, etc. My second phase will be to switch to flavored seltzer which has 'flavorings' but no carbs and is way healthier than the two liters of pop I have consumed in the past. I may stop at flavored seltzer or I may go to plain seltzer or just plain water at some point, who knows. Phase two also includes taking all carbs from all meals and having zero meals with starches per day instead of one. I see all these people who go cold turkey to carnivore and they end up having super bad sugar withdrawals or they just feel sick at first and one of the people I trust who does carnivore said that some long-term heavy sugar addicts, like me, have to wean themselves down first or their withdrawals will be unbearable.
Yep, I fell for it, blended the whole lemon, tasted almost as bad as ACV, even brushed my teeth with it. You're right, did nothing but make me loose, was costly, and grossed me out. Ribeye, there's the answer! Healing me one steak at a time, just wish it was cheaper. Thank you Dr Berry for 'caring more for others' than getting views; though I hope this one gets 22 million!!

I have been drinking lemon water for 4 years along with taking magnesium. My Kidney Stones have stopped!! I still get annual x-ray and check up with my urologist because of my history. One month ago, He told me to keep doing what I'm doing because it works:)
Dr. Jason Fung has quoted a Japanese study showing that vinegar and lemon juice can lower the glycemic effect of carbs, sometimes by as much as 40%. Is this a bogus study?
If you drink something like vinegar or lemon juice before eating food it keeps the blood sugar from spiking but it doesn't lower it. Careful, I got ulcers from lemon juice and plain soda.
no it is not
No. You can trust Dr Jason Fung. Check out his channel. Brilliant clear info.
Dr berg is awesome and so is Dr Jason Fung
I have read that for years. Drinking either a glass of water with tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar will stop glucose spikes if taken prior to eating. I have also heard and read that if you cook, then refrigerate potatoes, rice, pasta then reheat to eat it becomes resistant starch and will not spike glucose.
Found from the beginning of my keto/carnivore journey ( 2018 ) that you have to have discernment when watching these influencers. I really appreciate you Dr. Berry!
You are my trusted go to. Started my journey at age 69 and lost 80 pounds! Gained a few back over the years but now switched to carnivore with fantastic results, lost the pounds that creeped back👍
Fantastic!
You discern by not watching these goofs. There are about 10-15 people worthy of attention in this part of the zeitgeist. The rest are, well, you know.
I just started the 2nd of October. I haven't taken any meds since. No Xanax no Klonopin gabapentin. Nothing. I feel so much better. Never knew I could ever feel this good.
@@danajacobs9097All the best!!👍🏼
Nice shirt!
I follow Dr. Berg's BASIC ideas of low carb-carnivore, intermittent fasting, but I stay away from the more complex minutia of macronutrients and exotic herbs. His information got me started on the path I am on now Down 120 pounds.
Dr Bergs info saved my life and got me from 312# to 210#. I've been on a stall for about 2 years. Just started carnivore today! I love Dr Berry and Neisha!!❤
@@guflportgyrlsorry but what BERG did is disgraceful. Lying about the benefits of lemons, just for clicks and money is not good.
@JerseyShoreJim I think you're over thinking it. Assuming he intentionally lied?? It would be more fair to assume that he believes the information he provides to be the most accurate at the time he provides it. Afterall, he religiously includes and breaks down studies during his videos.
Lemon water has helped me with my colon problems so much. I will continue drinking this refreshing elixir. It taste great and it provides benefits to the whole body.❤
Ok but one thing I know for sure about lemon water is that it's anti-inflammatory for the liver. Lemon water is helping me heal from hepatitis caused by steatosis. I no longer have steatosis but I still have inflammation and lemon water reduces the pain 100%.
Yes, and it’s helped reduce my fatty liver too!
Lemon juice has about 100 benefits.. he’s full of shit and apparently pushes chemo
I just found that I have that any advice for me mine is severe hepatis steatosis
Have you tested this with just increased water without lemon? It might be that it's the water that does this and lemon just helps you with the taste.
Because, if you start drinking lemon water than that means you increased your water intake as well. Unless you already drank that amount of water and just added lemon to it but for most people that is not the case.
Also, are you certain nothing else in your diet and lifestyle has changed that might have contributed to this positive outcome?
When multiple factors are to be taken into consideration, you cannot isolate a single factor as beneficial.
I'm not saying it does nothing, but you should take other factors into consideration too. Unless nothing else has change and all you did was add lemon to the water you already drank.
“Except for Twitter” 🤣
That did make me laugh 😄
😂😂
Yeah
Not me RUNNING over to Twitter for the unfiltered version of Dr Berry 😂
@@rebeccariehle2764😅😅😅
It may have been coincidence, but one winter my kids and I were addicted to making fresh squeezed lemonade. That year we had no sickness and I had 6 kids between the ages of 3 and 10, so there's that.
Trust your experience..high dose vitamin C in lemon fights viruses and bacteria. Am done with Dr. Ken berry's arrogance. He used to be good but the attitude these days are cocky.
Why are you here then?
@@loriherrod3572 Same reason you’re here.
so what reason am I here for? Certainly not here to bag anybody. @@jharrissv
@@1973sophia I don't think he is arrogant. I was just sharing.
Hi. It did. I buy lemon juice. Just a little lemon size container. I put it in my elderflower home made tea. Taste fantastic. It Uplift my inner spirit when I need a boost😊❤
I happen to know for a fact that Lemon Juice works for kidney stones, but I do not over use it. I had a kidney stone that was hard to pass and i ate a whole lemon and it broke the stone in tiny pieces overnight.
It makes sense, if lemon juice can break down teeth enamel then it can cleanse a fatty liver and rid kidney stones.. I’m a fan of 🍋
He has a newer video on the benefits of lemon from 1 month ago. He essentially saved my life some years ago and if he thinks lemon has these benefits, I'm guessing there may be something to it. If I tried to consume everything touted by every health expert I watch, though, I would never be able to. So I just do the fasting and eat healthy foods in between. I do drink lemon almost daily as it makes me feel good.
They *all* over hype stuff, (did you know ginger can reverse diabetes and an ounce of organic ginger root killed Hitler in a duel on top of a zeppelin?), even if there is *some* truth to what they claim and they have generally decent/good diet advice. I also would not be able (or be able to afford) to consume everything touted by even one of the 'alternate health' experts. But, if you believe the extent of their claims, I'm pretty sure you can: avoid every disease, cure every disease, be able to fly, shoot lasers from your eyes, and live forever just by taking 20% of the things they recommend.
It's just that you're drinking more water and flushing your kidneys out.
Dr. Berg isn't a Doctor. He (and his wife) is a racist Scientologist who thinks he helped create the human race and body and he laughs and brags about how much money he makes from his viewer feom his dangerous supplements. Go watch the interview with his son...
I think the individual referred to is Dr Berg. In his video, with 11m views and from 2 years ago, Dr Berg does explain with sufficient details the reasons for the benefits he lists and does state that some tests were ran on animals.
He doesn’t just recommend lemon water as a miracle drink. He qualifies his statements.
Makes me wonder if he watched the video. He was very clear about the weight loss thing. Anyone that watches any video and doesn’t listen to what’s being said can misinterpret anything.
Agree
I STOPPED WATCHING DR.BERG. DR. BERRY HERE, IS AUTHENTIC, WELL-EDUCATED & CORRECT. LOVE THIS GUY!
Good point about these kinds of videos. AND Dr. Berg has tons and tons of Keto and now even carnivore videos. Your style is blunt, to the point - "eat your fatty meat". This is fine, but there are so many grey areas and areas of health concern that you don't cover. Dr. Berg covers these things, and these videos can be extremely helpful. He had a protocol for shingles that saved me. Even my mainstream doc was asking for it so she could help her dad - when she had nothing for him but a medication with many side effects. Lemon water has helped me pee! I'm Keto five years now, but sometimes the flow is slow. Seriously, this is doing something. And apple cider vinegar does reduce the insulin repose if you've have some carb creep.If Dr. Berg was ONLY making light weight clickable content, I'd agree with you- but he's not. He does a lot of good, and all your eye rolling over his channel isn't helpful. You guys need to be on the same team - you actually ARE on the same team. Why not go after some of these docs/influencers who have nothing but old/bad science to back up their claims?
💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
I agree with all of your statement
Agree
Well said Sarah, not happy Dr Berry has thrown a stone in that direction…
I concur completely!!!
My father was a dentist. He used to tell us drinking lemon juice and/or apple cider vinegar regularly was hard on your teeth. Try True Lemon in your water if you need flavoring.
You’re lucky, some of us had to learn the hard way 😢
It is, just as Iron solution discolors teeth so nurses always gave it with a soda straw. That’s how I drink lemon water that I just like.
@@shirleycathcart5502 Unfortunately using a straw simply directs the lemon water right on to your back molars... A disaster for those back teeth...
And using a straw perpetuates those mouth wrinkles. No thank you...
Better just stick to soda then 😅😅😅
I follow that influencer. I followed his advice on lemon juice and ACV every morning for a month. It’s totally changed by stomach! I digest my food was. I could never eat dairy. No problem digesting now!! 😊
Bull
I depend on acv for digestive issues.
Thank Dr Barry for clarifying about the lemon water.
Dr Berg has helped countless numbers of people but what we have to keep in mind not everyone is right all the time. When need to listen and trust ourselves and what our own bodies tell us as well. We can also think for ourselves, my point being none of us has it all figured out. We are all doing the best we can. I respect both of these men but both are still humans. Keep up the good work. And yes we have to be open to different opinions. Take what you need and discard the rest.
right! Dr. B here lost me when he was on board with eating bugs
He is also a chiropractor not a medical doctor and a scientologist so just know where the money goes if you buy his supplements.
@@swissmiss6526His video shows that eating bugs is harmful - thumbnail for it is ironic. Ditto 'eggs will kill you' is satirising the propaganda.
Uhm. Maybe watch the first 10 seconds of a video before encompassing the whole context to the thumbnail? It's clickbait. Like most things on UA-cam. It's to get viewers that actually think eating bugs are a good idea. Of course, he deep dives into why it is not a good idea and how you'd have to eat a bunch to get a small amount of nutrients & minerals. @@swissmiss6526
@@SunnyCarnivoreI never take MEDICAL Advice from someone who is NOT A DOCTOR OF MEDICINE who is Board Certified. Chiropractors need to stick to physical therapy stuff.period. exercise and bonafide physical therapy treatment like ultrasound and massage
Why should we be concerned about the carb content of lemon. Seems pretty insignificant.
Agree 😊
Well, I actually googled it the other day because I wanted to know how many carbs is in the lemon. I also googled how many carbs in an onion because I’m on a low carb diet so it is important to me. I like to. Stay under 20 so every carb counts.
@@eileenmaize8245 if you’re counting carbs, it makes much sense to know how many carbs is in a lemon because two carbs is a lot when you only get to have 20
I’m fruit and veggie phobic after going carnivore and learning that plants are trying to kill me.
It can also help to mask the flavor of trace mineral drops or iodine drops if you're trying to drink them in plain water instead of coffee or tea. The True Lemon crystal packeys can work for that too.
Issues with lemons is that they are acidic and rotted my teeth! I stopped using flouride toothpaste years ago and no cavities ever since, but after Dr Berg recommended it, started having a shot of lemon juice daily and 3 cavities so far. -_-
I know Dr Eric Berg promotes drinking lemon water, but promotes the blending the whole thing, skin and all. To be fair, Dr Berg promotes it in connection with keto, proper diet, etc.
Not a fan of Berg. He's in it for the supplement money.
I've listened to Dr Berg and if something has one thread of validity to it..... he gives it full credit as a cure..... he doesn't give negative Solutions but some of the solutions he does give are so minimal that they shouldn't even be mentioned
I use lemon as a sugar and some of my ferments so I will look to see the advantage of the peel because right now it goes in the blender
Reminds me of politicians attacking each other...and we've all had way too much of that. JEALOUSY IS THE MAJOR THEME HERE
Isn't it Stan eckberg that talks about the difference between consuming the lemon peel versus the lemon juice
Dr. Barry good morning and thank you for another great video! The one thing I’ve noticed since adopting a proper human diet is it’s very easy to maintain weight and metabolic health like you’ve said before we don’t see animals in the wild striving every day to manage their weight . We are the only animal that does this. I wish people wouldn’t over complicate health and think that there’s always some hidden thing that they’re not being told about in order to lose weight. for me it’s really simple once I’ve discovered low carbohydrate, eating like you suggested , it’s literally changed my life in many many ways that I’ve talked about before and others have talked about all the time on these videos. Thanks again for your time hard work and dedication to to the PHD community.

There is a hidden thing that they are not being told by mainstream health providers. They are NOT being told about keto diet and that they don't need statins. Mainstream doctors, dietitians, and the government still say move more and eat less. . ..
I respect dr berry and i respect dr berg. Lemon has helped or maybe its not the lemon water maybe its going ketovore and changing my entire lirestyle. Im just so grateful that people like dr berry and dr berg make content for us to learn. 2 years since ive started this new life and i feel the best i ever did and im 50 😊
You do realise though, that Dr Berg is actually not a Dr at all, right?
Exactly! He's a chiropractor 😂 and not only that, he is a scientologist, which is why we should NOT follow him and his cult religion!!!
@@candieee1974 Funny, Dr. Berg never discusses anything but nutrition/exercise/fasting. If he's trying to turn people onto Scientology he's doing a really bad job of it. LOL
@@Cosmo-Kramer It isn't about recruitment - it's about the products he sells. A significant portion of his profit goes to help keep Scientology alive. His son explains this on YT much better than I can.
So don't buy his products -- which I was completely unaware that he sells because he also doesn't discuss them in his videos.
I only drink lemon water, day and night, nothing else. I had never even heard of the claimed health benefits on this list except in potentially reducing Kidney Stones. I have been trying to break bad consumption habits over the last few years, and it ended my insulin resistence, and allowed be to get off three prescription medications. I no longer eat added sugar or processed foods, and few carbs. But deciding what to drink was the hardest part.
My drink of choice over the last decade was diet soda. I also liked sugar free lemonade (artificial sweeteners). I have a over sensitivity to bitter taste. If an enemy wants to torture me for information, make me eat a grapefruit. My taste buds find the bitter in everything: coffee, tea, etc. I tried decafe coffee, but I have to bury the bitter in creamer and artificial sweeteners. But the creamer I liked was a dangerous processed food with dozens of manufacturer additives. So I tried tea, but I had to bury it in artificial sweeteners that are potentially unsafe. I dehydrated myself (unintentionally) by trying to force myself to drink what I don't like. Carbonated beverages in the diet sodas was also causing acid reflex, and I don't like straight water. Drinking carbonated beverages over the years was literally causing internal damage, but I didn't know what else to drink. This dehydration caused a kidney stone that blocked one kidney. This backed up fluid got infected, causing appendicitis. So my condition was potentially life threatening.
So when researching what to do to prevent another kidney stone, of course, I need to stay hydrated, so, once again, I need to find something I enjoy drinking. I actually measure now the amount of fluid I drink each day. Unlike grapefruit, I like the taste of lemon. Even though my stone was calcium oxalate, for the years prior to this stone, I had no excess calcium, and essentially zero oxalate in my diet.
So I now I drink only lemon water day and night (straw). Does it reduce kidney stones, I don't know, and I don't care. What matters is it can't contribute to stones. Does it have any of those other health benefits on the list, I don't know, and I don't care. What matters is that I know it isn't bad for me, and I have finally ended the reign of artificial sweeteners in my life. The kidney stone claims of lemon water, correct, or incorrect, gave me the idea. Knowing what to drink is a big deal in a person's life, and a major turning point in mine.
my dad lived to 90 before he died from lung cancer. dad loved everything sour - plain yogurt, sour cream, and lemons & grapefruits. he make a half gallon of lemon water that would make you mouth pucker. i can only say he would go up on the roof ever spring til 80.
Thanks doc. Straight to the point. I personnally enjoy squeezing a lemon into a glass of ice water with some salt. Great thirst quencher on a hot day. But just occasionally as a cooler/treat, not as a daily staple.
I like your honesty, Dr. Berry. I appreciate the exhausting research that you do. Thank you for helping me!
Drinking fresh lemon juice will give a collagen boost advantage. Skin will be fresher looking. And it’s easier than juicing carrots etc.
You need a _400 Dollar Omega juicer to do the carrots !
