I have said this before, I am 70 years old have had arthritis since I was10 years old I have seen doctors, specialists, and professers, no body spoke to me about diet or fasting and I suffered all those years, until about 5 years ago when I followed Dr Bergs advice and since then I have been 95% better , no pain and my life and wellbeing is now very good, thanks to Dr Berg.
Are u take it metroxetato?all this60 years since u been 10 years..feel happy for you ur not in pain I just diagnosed 2 months ago with arthritis ..good bless you
I ate a Mediterranean style diet for 15 years at which point osteoarthritis exploded in my left hip & knee. I suffered for 5 years thinking there was no solution then out of pure desperation I tried a low carb/Keto way of eating and like magic, I lost the 30 excess pounds I was carrying and 75% of my arthritis pain resolved in 3 months. I went from not able to walk 9 holes of golf to 10 hour hikes in the mountains with 1000+m of elevation. It took 2 years to get to 95% resolution of my symptoms and at 61 I'm looking forward to the rest of my life instead of dreading it. Thank you Dr. Berg and many others!
@@ivanmatusic5540 Incorrect because I had lost that same 30 lbs a couple of years before eating that same Med. diet but limiting caloric intake and it had no effect on my levels of arthritic pain or any of the other nagging issues I was experiencing. The diet made all the difference.
Diet did the magic by lowering Insulin Resistance which is associated with Arthritis.I intend to know whether you had Osteoporosis only or Osteoporosis superimposed on Rheumatoid Arthritis.What were your RF and anti-CCP levels? Have Insulin Resistance tests been done? Blessed be.
The reality is, what works for one does not work for another! YOU have to figure out what foods makes your condition(s) worse! Listen to your body when you eat, do you get bloated, does your pain gets worse, do you feel latargic etc. Eliminate what your body doesn't like and see how that works for you! EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT! Different bloodtypes Different body types Different medical conditions Different allergies etc. I have done so much research that I became majorly confused, so I just started this process, writing down everything I eat and how did my body react. I believe this is the best way to figure out YOUR body!
I am 67 years young. All that I can say is WOW, WOW WOW! I DON'T WANT ARTHUR'S PAIN ( AS MY ELDERS USED TO call arthritis). I want to always feel good and pain free as much as possible. Help is on the way. Thanks Doc.
Right. He's even going over the arthritis big wigs with his advice...which isn't necessarily theirs...I love his honesty. That's why u know he's truthful. Rare in the medical world lately.
I eat sauerkraut and grass fed Greek yogurt daily along with pasture raised chicken and eggs ... I'm 67 and doing great. Thanks Dr Berg for your excellent work.
After 20+ years of arthritis , widespread inflammation, heart disease now and a history of insulin resistance , first signs manifested in early twenties , the keto intermittent fasting is helping reduce these problems. Less arthritis pain , weight down to 14% body fat and better mental alertedness. Now I will focus on eating more specifically the recommendations of this helpful video . Much appreciated , thanks .
Whenever there’s a mass media _call to action_ that all manner media agrees upon (pop-culture influencer rhetoric _included,_ and so on), it is indeed _always_ a good idea to do the opposite. Thank You! And thank you for the opportunity to mention this.
I have arthritis degenerative disc disorder fibromyalgia and other conditions. Since I changed my diet to keto I have felt so much better. I still have pain but the difference has been amazing
@@timmorakinyo9529 I walk every day do some yoga a few times a week and do light weights as well. I have to be careful with the weight and am trying to build up slowly. I ruptured a disc in my neck just from using light bands. And don’t want to go through that again.
Similar here degenerated disk in L3 plus left knee osteoarthritis both diagnosed have all but disappeared in terms of pain now down to nil medication since 1 year ago down to 78 kgs from 97 kgs Daily runs stretching walking palates 15 k + steps plus improved weight loss no stomach bloating increased brain function very low depression high self esteem all through low sugar diet no coke little breads Or processed foods take away kfc McDonald’s etc.eggs yes avocado meat sometimes only 1 meal per day at 6 pm 13 % body fat index Keto plus fasting However needed to increase by 3000 + calories per day as I had low B12 and was anaemic on a fasting blood test now do weight lifting which increased muscle size am 58 look 28 My waste went down six belt hole and need new wardrobe this is complete health transformation without any medical intervention used oh and mind meditation coming back to present moment that is removing any negative thoughts really helps a lot.
Took You Advice on Turmeric, have been drinking a big mug of turmeric and ginger tea, industrial strength, every morning for one month now, have noticed two amazing things; 1. a lump alongside my left tricep was approx 1.4 inches long and .5 inches thick, tubular, and now it shrunk, very quickly to .6 inches long and .25 inches thick, don't know what is is really, but it is shrinking quickly. 2. this sounds insane but, when I go out on the deck and now mosquito season the bites were always nasty swollen and itchy, but now the mosquitos barely bite and the bites fade within hours not really itchy. so unsure this could be attributable to turmeric and ginger or maybe I m off menu now. So THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EXPERTISE AND HARD WORK, YOU ARE SINCERELY APPRECIATED !!!
Awesome 👏 🎉🎉🎉thanks for sharing! I’m also wondering about mosquito bites. I’m attracting many less mosquitoes than before and the sting is not nearly as bad as it was before keto.
If a person has 2-4 conditions, getting a list of anything that doesn't offend one condition is difficult. Coconut oil might be nice for arthritis but it's bad for heart patients. I had a diet of organic fruit and grains and it was killing me with gout and osteo-arth. I was bathing my body in sugars but it all sounded good on paper!
It's extremely difficult to eat healthy. It's so much information out there. Then you have to figure out what works best for you. Trial and error could go on for years before you figure out what to do. I've been trying to eat better, but it's always something new that makes me second guess what I was doing.
No it is not! You are using it as an excuse because you are addicted to sugar, ie carbs. Not your fault, this is the plan of the food and drug industries. Use Dr Berg and numerous other Drs on here to educate yourself.
I disagree. You'll hear a lot of opinions including from experts but IMO the default position must always be sufficient fat and protein on a natural food diet. If you avoid all hightly processed foods + seed oils and stick to natural, whole foods you'll solve 90% of your problems.
There is also a traditional remedy that treat joint pain ,we take a quantity of rue seeds we put it in a bowl of water until a mixture is formed then it is applied to the affected joints in a circular motion for a period of not less than 10 minutes,and its oil can be used by placing it in a pot and raising it on the fire until it warms up and applying it to the affected area.
Try serrapeptase. It's a silk worm enzyme. I used it to completely cure my carpal tunnel in my wrist. Just take it on an empty stomach. It repairs damaged scare tissue. The same scar tissue that's worn down between joints. The same scar tissue that 'doctors' claim can't be repaired.
He's RIGHT, he's right, he's right. 4 days fasting OR carnivore and almost ALL my inflammation is gone. I can walk, steps and even climb a ladder which is a daunting task while inflammation is in my body. I'm nearly back to riding again now that I know I'm not permanently broken. More fasting, carnivore while not fasting and I've almost gotten my real life back. It's way too bad that I had to be nearly 60 to learn how to eat. My whole life, my body screamed for this relief. But NO... I had to listen to the professionals. Small meals, frequently, food pyramid yada yada yada. My body knew since I was a child it wanted farm fats and meat. I wasted my life not listening to my body. THANK YOU DR BERG AND DR JASON FUNG.
@imhappy83 nuts give my stupid body inflammation. :( fully tested, 4 day fast ruined with testing nuts. Even soaked and peeled... I've been isolating foods off and on for 20 years now.
Doctor am the piano player .. i cannot believe you replied so quickly !!! sir , thank k you for caring and just making me like you listened to my problem . sincere thank you
I'm watching this video 4 months later for the first time. I have osteoarthritis in my knee and in July I really cut down on carbs, veg, beans etc and have been eating more meat and eggs that ever before. I'm also drinking more full fat lactose free milk. I've been on skimmed milk for over over 20 years and started with lactose free skimmed milk around 10 years ago. I'm living by myself for a change and more in control of what I eat. My family are form Sri Lanka so spices like Cinnamon, Ginger, Turmeric etc are staples but I've been adding them to food much more frequently than before. My knee has been relatively ok. It still bothers me but no where near as bad as before. I have other previous health issues that have flared up but my knee is behaving. My digestive issues have really calmed down too. I've been doing the tips in the video for 4 months anyway and can confirm (at least for me) that they are effective.
@@Jasmin6Aathviha I found it. It's basically what I do anyway 😃 I learned about what foods were bad for my and took those out. My digestion is much better for it.
This is a very good video. I live a low carb organic Keto lifestyle. I only eat one meal per day. I only use natural organic oils. Drink lots of water and exercise daily. I am happy to know that my lifestyle is good to prevent this situation.
Some people with extreme arthritis do miraculously well on a carnivore diet. It's similar to water fasting in that all the usual arthritis-aggravating foods are eliminated. However, on the carnivore diet you can thrive. Humans evolved over millions of years on a mostly meat-based diet. Agriculture is a very new concept for humans. Chicken is very high in the amino acid Taurine which has been shown in recent research to have longevity benefits.
Bone broth it helps in forming and repairing bones .bone is rich in nutrients such as calcium and magnesium, all of which work to strengthen bones ,it s easy to prepare ,bone broth only needs an abundant amount of bones ,a little vinegar ,à large amount of water,and a lot of patience 🙂 cooking on low heat to enjoy a good taste.
I'm surprised you didn't mention avoiding the nightshade family. All are bad for arthritis. White potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, okra, eggplant. My arthritis improved dramatically when I eliminated them from my diet.
I feel great after 7 years of keto, when I do eat or drink carbs I get hip pain, shoulder pain, sore back. My goto meal Honey roasted wild salmon with my homemade pickles and grass raised organic cheese, with a couple eggs.
Also niacinamide supplement.... one of my parents had a hip replacement and the other had a knee replacement.... not long into my 40’s I started having hip pain every time I ran or if I slept on my side.... I was limping for days after runs... I read a Suzanne sommers book where she interviewed various doctors about natural solutions to common issues... one of the doctors recommended niacinamide supplementation for knee or hip pain due to arthritis and said it would take probably 4 months to work... I didn’t want surgery but wanted to run without pain so figured what could it hurt.... it literally took 4 months of supplementing niacinamide until my hip pain went away... I was able to resume running and side sleeping without hip pain.... In the years since this discovery I have noticed hip pain comes back if I stop taking it.... I consider myself a bio hacker with supplements and after high dosage d3 I consider niacinamide my #2 supplement
Sharing Dr Berg notes on this video! Foods to avoid for arthritis: • Fruits • Nuts (except walnuts) • Beans • Whole grains • Sugar • Refined grains • Trans fats • Hydrogenated foods • Seed oils • Canned foods (except sardines or cod liver) • Powdered protein • High-oxalate foods It’s typically recommended to avoid eggs, red meat, and dairy if you have arthritis. However, it’s important to understand that grain-fed animals have a very different omega-6 to omega-3 ratio than organic grass-fed, pasture-raised, or wild-caught fish and animals. Organic grass-fed whole milk kefir or organic grass-fed raw milk cheese may also be better choices than typical dairy products. The best foods for arthritis: • Wild-caught fatty fish • Seafood • Pasture-raised organic eggs • Fermented vegetables (especially cabbage) It’s also important to add intermittent fasting to your diet plan. It’s not just about what you eat but the frequency you eat that’s important in getting rid of arthritis. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
Thank you sir. Your content is helping me tremendously. I'm in my early 50s, and this is helping me to get the body back, that I had in my 30s or even 20s! The combination of keto with fasting is a first time thing for me, I started about three weeks ago. But even in that short amount of time, its been like magic. I feel better now, than I have for a long long time! 🤗
I have Ankykosing Spondilitis--auto immune disease which causes arthritis of the spine. Carnivore diet allowed me to go off of biologic medications taken by syringe twice monthly... I allow saurkraut as my only veg.
You know how I know you telling the truth your voice structure and lots of studying. We are vibing. And I have actually experienced every food that you say or mention shall I say and what it does and what it doesn't do I have experienced it and it's just amazing
I wish I would have known all this information years ago for my mother too. She suffered so much and NO doctor ever helped, they do not know anything about nutrition like Dr Berg. TY
This is a copy/paste of my comment. It might help you. I ate a Mediterranean style diet for 15 years at which point osteoarthritis exploded in my left hip & knee.

@@johnnypenso9574 Thank you so much!! I have osteoarthritis in two fingers and my knee. I also have osteoporosis in one hip and osteopenia in my spine. Need to seriously eat all the right things in my diet lifestyle. I’m 62. Glad you’re doing so well now!
@@Drberg Thanks for your helpful videos! I heard you say that you have a dwarf goat named Billy on your Q&A sho yesterday, and since "billy" means buck, I just wanted to say that a dwarf goat is not going to give nearly as much milk as a Sanaan or other larger goat. 🙂

Two years ago I had a blood test done to find out my vitamin deficiencies, if any. I was low in vitamin D3 and also blood test showed I had Rheumatoid Arthritis with a marker of 34 (normal 14). I was supposed to see the Reumathologist but never got to it, didn't want to start taking prescription meds. I upped my Vitamin D3 to 4000 UI at least 4 days a week and consume very little dairy (this was a challenge). Had a blood test done about a month ago and to my doctors surprise my markers were 20, 14 less than2 years ago. This is a big deal since I am 59 years young. I also had parathyroid problems causing me to having hight levels of calcium in my blood. This problem also cleared as well as a suspicious mass that was believe it was thyroid cancer. I had the thyroid problem about the same time my high levels of calcium in my blood were discovered. At the time I had one of my parathyroids removed and half of my thyroid removed, were I had cancer. Although thee Cardiologist or Endocrinologist won't admit that taking high doses of vitamin D3 help I believe it had a lot to do with it. I as well added K2, full spectrum. You need to do your own research and ask questions, lots of questions.
I understand nutrition is of most importance but I no longer consume pork. It is said ( in the bible ) they are cleaners of the earth. I was being sick often so, I've changed my diet and already notice a difference with my health in a positive way.
Dr. Berg, thank you for your advice. I’m now more informed about what I put in my body. I was on the verge of becoming an invalid. I had difficulty getting up. My joints would ache. I was gaining excessive weight. But thanks to your great videos, on type 2 diabetes and arthritis. I was able to make smart choices and follow your recommendations. I started fasting. It got easier and easier. I’ve lost 10lbs, so far. I feel much better. I started walking again, at our local park. Dr. Berg, you are my hero! Thank you!,😊
I had arthritis on my knees since I falled down on volcanic stones at the age of 7, at 22 went to live in a kundalini yoga ashram and became vegetarian, no eggs as well, but I ate milk products, the arthritis on my knees dissapeared for ever, now I am 63, some vegetables do damage combined with meat products and their chemicals in our body, but without any meat, nor fish nuts, beans and all green will not be a problem, at least in my case was like that
I think there is still a lot to know/learn about the combination of foods. It's not just what you shouldn't eat. It's also about what you shouldn't combine.
I've might said that in several comments before, but I still think that both turmeric & ginger root are the greatest foods ever for any bone probs. I actually almost have non because of these 2 root veggies. Thanks for the info Dr Berg 🌸
@@UniversalPatriots Ginger works well in curries, however another DB follower in a recent video suggested finely chopped fresh root when you brew coffee in a Cafetiere, without milk or sugar. Tastes brilliant IMHO. I was looking to consume more as I understand it helps develop stomach acid. HTH.
@@UniversalPatriots it's a fresh ginger,. I peel it, mince it in a food processor, then freeze it in small portions, and in small bags, same for turmeric.
@@SpamMouse It has too many benefits, for us as Middle Easterns: we use it for Arabian light roast coffee, along with ground cardamom, it can be used with lemon juice as a hot drink on its own, which is a traditional drink in South Asian countries, especially for flues and colds.
I find it essential to actually listen to the needs of your body. I've never been a fruit person (sweet fruit that is), however I have been influenced by others experiences which don't align with my own. I enjoy hearing about different ways/perspectives on other's advice, research and experience. Thank you :)
If you want to compare beefs and their milk products you should check that in Ecuador. All the cattle are pasture fed, have little fat, live out in the sun. They are allowed to free range and you will often find them on a safety rope eating at the road edge, eating anything green.
So if you have arthritis can you take collagen supplements? It is a powder protein after all. I am taking fish based collagen and I have arthritis, don't know if it will aggravate it or not.
I’d avoid it, especially for its likely content of maltodextrin and such. Some of Dr Berg’s videos /articles on collagen, on supplements, and on arthritis may help further.
Hi! Doc I have these pain on both of my knee and just found out today it was Arthritis! I will try my best to avoid red meats and yes to fruits and veggies. Thank you doctor ❤️❤️😭😭
@@Cyberbeestyyes he didn’t say to avoid red meat. He said to avoid red meat that is grain-fed. You SHoUld be eating grass-fed or grass-finished meat and organs. End of story.
Based on this, there are two options - starve yourself to death to avoid joint pain or become rich to buy the food sources required to keep inflammation in check. Interesting videos, but suggest dialing it in so that it is actually practical for everyday consumers.
No, best for him to tell the truth, then everyone else can manage according to their needs and resources... We don't want him becoming like the government and tell us to eat crappy food just because they are cheap for consumers (and profitable for the makers)...
@@jm47889You are missing the point. No one suggests not telling the truth. Anyone can talk about the theoretical dos and don’ts - the value is distilling it down to practical use in everyday life.
@@Ryker06 What's practical is different for every person as it depends on your goals, your body, where you live, your financial means, ...it's up to you to do additional research taking into account the above and come up with your own practical lifestyle & continously finding ways to improve/optimize it...
@@jm47889 To a point, but consider it this way - when you are told sugars, carbs, fruits and potentially veggies , grain fed beef and poultry, all nuts minus walnuts can all cause inflammation and the potential alternative is free range chickens and cattle that are not grain fed and non farm raised fish then guess what - most people will just deal with the damn inflammation. Of what practical value to anyone is the video. Ok. So just about every we eat can cause inflammation! Wow!!!How useful is that huh? Give it a break and just continue being a fanboy or girl.
We're not supposed to eat all day long... eat once or twice a day, in a short window ( between 12-6pm for example ) you'll find your not as hungry & you'll eat as your designed to eat. It's really less expensive to eat grass fed/finished meat, A2 dairy, eggs.... the junk in the grocery store is very expensive, eating out is very expensive. You'll cut your food budget in half ❤
Intermittent fasting helps so much. I'm on day 3 and feels so much better. Usually by day 5 I have no pain. I'm also removing processed foods, white bread and sugary drinks. Starting my juicing today. It helps so much. Thx for the videos Dr.
This was thoroughly enjoyed. So much wisdom to unpack, that my subconscious keeps getting penny drops "ah, thats why when this, happens that" 🤩 very affirming and enlightening
thank you again doctor for your advice, guidance, and explanations my regular doctor has no time to explain all these things to us. their main concern is always to see lots of patients and give the medicine as an easy way out of advice
Hello Dr Berg. Thx for your videos! I was wondering, you are saying that the reason for arthritis is probably inflammation in the gut. Isn’t it better to fix the gut first and then fix the arthritis? Because in the video you are talking about witch food is good for the arthritis but how can someone fix the inflammation in the gut? At 18 I was diagnosed with hashimoto, at 31 I got alopecia and now I got arthritis in my knees and my fingers, I’m 42 now. Thanks for reading our comments and responding through your videos ❤
dear doctor, i have arthritis in my hips, i am taking a powdered beef collagen, you mentioned the powdered protein, so i am asking about the collagen.. thank you in advance 😊
This is actually depressing knowing these so called "healthy" foods are anything but. Grass fed grass finished anything is so expensive as is salmon. Been watching these videos for years and very much appreciate all the content provided.
I agreed with your information. However, what about the people that don’t have access to good organic foods or the financial issues. Natural food is costly and hard to find and hard to verify if the food is real organic.?
Thank you for information, your information has changed my and my mother lives as we both lost weight, and mother got rid of bone pain and we do lot of fasting now, sir plz make video for best food to brain and best food to tackle fatty liver..
Congratulations to you and your mum. There are some videos on exactly your topic of interest, quick search will find them. They are relevant and powerful IMHO.
Thanks Dr. Berg for making this video on "Arthritis", I remember just a couple of months ago, I commented on one of your videos on inflammation to make a video for Arthritis, precisely "RA".
A doctor wanted to fuse my wrists several years ago. He was also going to remove huge bone spurs on the thumb side. They were very visible. I declined the operation because I wanted to be able to continue to bend my wrists. I put up with the pain. I started taking Dr. Berg’s advice three months ago or so and my wrist pain decreased by probably 80%. I put this in the miracle category. Also, the bone spurs are visibly much smaller. Apple cider vinegar, no sugar, no carbs, extra virgin olive oil. All of this has had such positive effects. Not to mention dropping 30 pounds. Give it a try before operation.
I have RA (30 yrs)...been carnivore for 2.5 mo...on borax and other supplements you have recommended...I have no heat redness or swelling in joints... no relief..still on pain med😢
Good morning Dr Berg.Owesome topic, very useful information, it's helping for my parents problem. Thank you very much for your help dr Berg.Have a good weekend ❤
Would cucumber carrots peppers etc chopped and soaked in balsamic vinegars and olive oil be classed as fermented and be okay? Thanks to anyone who replies.
thank you dr.I have a question, please..I tried Ashoganda for 3 months to treat anxiety and stress when confronting people, but my condition did not improve..Do you recommend another adaptogenic herb for anxiety and stress?
Hey Karen, ashwahganda is a fine supplement for mood etc, however it matters greatly in what form you're taking it and who manufactured it. There are many products out there that are weak or downright false due to lack of regulation. I buy most of my products from mountain rose herbs, I'm not affiliated in any way.. just trying to help you out. I tried a multitude of powders before I found this company. Shipping is a lengthy process but worth the wait. Also, make sure your stomach acid levels are correct. If incorrect you will have problems with absorption. Good luck
I have been told that I have post viral arthargia which is like viral arthritis. I can't keep with NSAID tablets and they're expensive. my pain increases if I consume broiler chicken and feel more fatigue.
@Dr. Eric Berg DC Thanks, Dr. Berg. In addition to asthma and joint relief, it affects my mind. Mood enhancing effects and clarity of mind. I'm not seeing a lot of info out there on this.
I do all this and have been since Covid. Eating low carb and doing IF 18/6. 3mo ago I started getting stabbing pains in my left wrist. 2 weeks ago my left hip started hurting. I'm at a loss of what to do. General blood work all good.
Dr. Berg you mentioned "grass fed meats" but, you didn't mentioned which is just as important grass finished meats. Some farms start out grass fed but, not grass finished.
@@sweetness_5772 Yes. I think he doesn’t want to make it too impossible for people to make healthy choices. Already close to impossible as it is.. but he did mention this point in some of his videos on meats. If you read the comments under some of his videos, there’s a point where so many give up as the action is wayyy out of their range of what’s possible for them at that point.
Honestly I am completely lost on what to eat and what not. I have hashimoto, lupus, pcos and rheumatoid arthritis. The food that I should eat for one disease is often times food I should avoid for another disease. Also, being vegan narrows down the choice a lot. No idea what I should eat and avoid. I stopped eating sugar but probably will start eating it again because my meal options at the moment especially in restaurants is basically 0 😓 HELPPP
I am also lost. I have the same diseases as you. I don't eat meat, none. instead I use legumes, for breakfast I eat ground seeds of 5-6 kinds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, cinnamon and a little dried fruit. Plum, apricot, fig. To all this I add linseed oil so that everything combines well. I've been eating that for 15 years. I only take a little cheese sometimes and sometimes an egg. but in general it's almost a vegan diet. this information kind of confuses me. My illness has calmed down since I eat like this. but I'm still afraid that it won't return. Since i have occasional pain. But, what's good is that i'm not on any medication and i had come to a biological therapy. all these recommendations are a little strange for me. p.s. sorry for my english :(
I understand why you are vegan (my daughter used to be), but I promise you some bodies just don’t do well being vegan. She is better at being vegetarian. And some folks just do best eating meat. ❤😊
My knee swelled up , to be host i over did many exercises and had a history of severe injury, but i have been consuming a lot of chocolate and canned beans, kiwis.. thanks for the extra bit of info i didn’t know
Thank you Dr for such a valuable information..my mother suffer from RA from last 15 yrs when she was 30 yrs old,but as time passes she also suffer from low thyroid,pre diabetic,anemia and hiatus hernia ... I want your help dr.regardingy mother. So plz help me what should I do .
Thanks Dr. Berg. I would love to see a video about bread vs it's toasted version. If toasted bread better for digestion, sugar content, etc. In the past few weeks I only consumed toasted bread and feeling better comparing when I consumed mainly normal bread.
Regarding dairy, I can only eat plant based things, like plant based butter and cheese, Lactaid milk, etc. How do these affect inflammation? Also someone mentioned turmeric; it is a blood thinner!
Those plant based products are honestly horrible for you. I’m sorry but anything like that is processed to the hilt & indeed have chemicals added so they taste like something they’re not even close to. You’re better off going without
I may have said this in a few previous comments, but I still believe that ginger root and turmeric are the best foods ever for any bone problems. Because of these two root vegetables, I almost don't. I appreciate the details, Dr. Berg.
I have said this before, I am 70 years old have had arthritis since I was10 years old I have seen doctors, specialists, and professers, no body spoke to me about diet or fasting and I suffered all those years, until about 5 years ago when I followed Dr Bergs advice and since then I have been 95% better , no pain and my life and wellbeing is now very good, thanks to Dr Berg.

Foods have same content, the variable is what your body needs or not to work efficiently. Platitudes do nothing
So well said, thank you.
@serendipity8844 The most mature and logical comment I've ever seen about human health. It's true but only a few people think about this.❤
For IBS maybe. But there are no differences in body type, right. I agree with the sentiment.
I am 67 years young.
All that I can say is WOW, WOW WOW! I DON'T WANT ARTHUR'S PAIN ( AS MY ELDERS USED TO call arthritis). I want to always feel good and pain free as much as possible. Help is on the way.
Thanks Doc.
Hooray for Dr Berg! Always telling us the best food to eat and what to avoid. Your videos changed my life and health for the better! Thank you!
@@REL602 except for grass-fed or pasture-raised meat and dairy and eggs.
@@REL602 I have the same opinion. I would love to see how he can implement a 7 days diet for that subject.
Right. He's even going over the arthritis big wigs with his advice...which isn't necessarily theirs...I love his honesty. That's why u know he's truthful. Rare in the medical world lately.
I eat sauerkraut and grass fed Greek yogurt daily along with pasture raised chicken and eggs ... I'm 67 and doing great. Thanks Dr Berg for your excellent work.
After 20+ years of arthritis , widespread inflammation, heart disease now and a history of insulin resistance , first signs manifested in early twenties , the keto intermittent fasting is helping reduce these problems. Less arthritis pain , weight down to 14% body fat and better mental alertedness. Now I will focus on eating more specifically the recommendations of this helpful video . Much appreciated , thanks .
Awesome 👏 also, some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on arthritis, on pain and on vitamin d absorption may help further.
This should also work for neck arthiritis (cervical spondylosis)?

Whenever there’s a mass media _call to action_ that all manner media agrees upon (pop-culture influencer rhetoric _included,_ and so on), it is indeed _always_ a good idea to do the opposite. Thank You!
And thank you for the opportunity to mention this.
I have arthritis degenerative disc disorder fibromyalgia and other conditions. Since I changed my diet to keto I have felt so much better. I still have pain but the difference has been amazing
You need to start weight training to increase bone density and for its hormonal benefit.
@@timmorakinyo9529 I walk every day do some yoga a few times a week and do light weights as well. I have to be careful with the weight and am trying to build up slowly. I ruptured a disc in my neck just from using light bands. And don’t want to go through that again.
Similar here degenerated disk in L3 plus left knee osteoarthritis both diagnosed have all but disappeared in terms of pain now down to nil medication since 1 year ago down to 78 kgs from 97 kgs
Daily runs stretching walking palates 15 k + steps plus improved weight loss no stomach bloating increased brain function very low depression high self esteem
all through low sugar diet no coke little breads Or processed foods take away kfc McDonald’s etc.eggs yes avocado meat sometimes only 1 meal per day at 6 pm
13 % body fat index
Keto plus fasting
However needed to increase by 3000 + calories per day as I had low B12 and was anaemic on a fasting blood test now do weight lifting which increased muscle size am 58 look 28
My waste went down six belt hole and need new wardrobe this is complete health transformation without any medical intervention used oh and mind meditation coming back to present moment that is removing any negative thoughts really helps a lot.
Great 👍 have you checked Dr Berg’s videos on pain and on vitamin d absorption?
Took You Advice on Turmeric, have been drinking a big mug of turmeric and ginger tea, industrial strength, every morning for one month now, have noticed two amazing things; 1. a lump alongside my left tricep was approx 1.4 inches long and .5 inches thick, tubular, and now it shrunk, very quickly to .6 inches long and .25 inches thick, don't know what is is really, but it is shrinking quickly. 2. this sounds insane but, when I go out on the deck and now mosquito season the bites were always nasty swollen and itchy, but now the mosquitos barely bite and the bites fade within hours not really itchy. so unsure this could be attributable to turmeric and ginger or maybe I m off menu now. So THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EXPERTISE AND HARD WORK, YOU ARE SINCERELY APPRECIATED !!!
Awesome 👏 🎉🎉🎉thanks for sharing! I’m also wondering about mosquito bites. I’m attracting many less mosquitoes than before and the sting is not nearly as bad as it was before keto.
@@KetoWorksYes! You’re not as sweet anymore 😂
Stopping the sweet fruits gave me a huge relief. Additionally to giving me me more energy and decreasing hunger.
i'll try that
If a person has 2-4 conditions, getting a list of anything that doesn't offend one condition is difficult. Coconut oil might be nice for arthritis but it's bad for heart patients. I had a diet of organic fruit and grains and it was killing me with gout and osteo-arth. I was bathing my body in sugars but it all sounded good on paper!
It's extremely difficult to eat healthy. It's so much information out there. Then you have to figure out what works best for you. Trial and error could go on for years before you figure out what to do. I've been trying to eat better, but it's always something new that makes me second guess what I was doing.
I agree
I agree. It's a big struggle.
No it is not! You are using it as an excuse because you are addicted to sugar, ie carbs. Not your fault, this is the plan of the food and drug industries. Use Dr Berg and numerous other Drs on here to educate yourself.
I disagree. You'll hear a lot of opinions including from experts but IMO the default position must always be sufficient fat and protein on a natural food diet. If you avoid all hightly processed foods + seed oils and stick to natural, whole foods you'll solve 90% of your problems.
Same here. I always feel that I'm not doing enough for my health and that I'm doing something wrong that contributes to my diseases!
There is also a traditional remedy that treat joint pain ,we take a quantity of rue seeds we put it in a bowl of water until a mixture is formed then it is applied to the affected joints in a circular motion for a period of not less than 10 minutes,and its oil can be used by placing it in a pot and raising it on the fire until it warms up and applying it to the affected area.
Dr Berg THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO. I'm in therapy for knee bursitis and arthritis. You are a GEM this video came right on time!!
Try serrapeptase. It's a silk worm enzyme.
I used it to completely cure my carpal tunnel in my wrist. Just take it on an empty stomach.
It repairs damaged scare tissue. The same scar tissue that's worn down between joints. The same scar tissue that 'doctors' claim can't be repaired.
Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on the knees and on arthritis may help further.❤
He's RIGHT, he's right, he's right. 4 days fasting OR carnivore and almost ALL my inflammation is gone. I can walk, steps and even climb a ladder which is a daunting task while inflammation is in my body. I'm nearly back to riding again now that I know I'm not permanently broken. More fasting, carnivore while not fasting and I've almost gotten my real life back. It's way too bad that I had to be nearly 60 to learn how to eat. My whole life, my body screamed for this relief. But NO... I had to listen to the professionals. Small meals, frequently, food pyramid yada yada yada. My body knew since I was a child it wanted farm fats and meat. I wasted my life not listening to my body.
THANK YOU DR BERG AND DR JASON FUNG.
So glad to hear about your improvements. I know it's a cliche, but still better late then never!
@imhappy83 nuts give my stupid body inflammation. :( fully tested, 4 day fast ruined with testing nuts. Even soaked and peeled...
I've been isolating foods off and on for 20 years now.
Welll what can I eat
Thank you !!!! I've been looking for a solution ..and pondering fasting ... I had given myself gout through spinach smoothies would you believe !!!!!
Doctor am the piano player .. i cannot believe you replied so quickly !!! sir , thank k you for caring and just making me like you listened to my problem . sincere thank you
You are most welcome, Guido! Take care, and let me know how it goes. Keep doing great!
Thank you for your constant acts of kindness in the form of educating the masses around world about health .
Agreed very much!
Agreed!
I'm watching this video 4 months later for the first time. I have osteoarthritis in my knee and in July I really cut down on carbs, veg, beans etc and have been eating more meat and eggs that ever before. I'm also drinking more full fat lactose free milk. I've been on skimmed milk for over over 20 years and started with lactose free skimmed milk around 10 years ago. I'm living by myself for a change and more in control of what I eat. My family are form Sri Lanka so spices like Cinnamon, Ginger, Turmeric etc are staples but I've been adding them to food much more frequently than before. My knee has been relatively ok. It still bothers me but no where near as bad as before. I have other previous health issues that have flared up but my knee is behaving. My digestive issues have really calmed down too. I've been doing the tips in the video for 4 months anyway and can confirm (at least for me) that they are effective.
Did you follow Wannaku method ?
@@Jasmin6Aathviha I don't know what that is. I will look it up, thanks. I usually have my methods and they work for me.
@@Jasmin6Aathviha I found it. It's basically what I do anyway 😃 I learned about what foods were bad for my and took those out. My digestion is much better for it.
This is a very good video. I live a low carb organic Keto lifestyle. I only eat one meal per day. I only use natural organic oils. Drink lots of water and exercise daily. I am happy to know that my lifestyle is good to prevent this situation.
Some people with extreme arthritis do miraculously well on a carnivore diet. It's similar to water fasting in that all the usual arthritis-aggravating foods are eliminated. However, on the carnivore diet you can thrive. Humans evolved over millions of years on a mostly meat-based diet. Agriculture is a very new concept for humans. Chicken is very high in the amino acid Taurine which has been shown in recent research to have longevity benefits.
Bone broth it helps in forming and repairing bones .bone is rich in nutrients such as calcium and magnesium, all of which work to strengthen bones ,it s easy to prepare ,bone broth only needs an abundant amount of bones ,a little vinegar ,à large amount of water,and a lot of patience 🙂 cooking on low heat to enjoy a good taste.
Do you prepare your own broth or is it store bought?
@@Boz1919 gelatin is as efficient as bone broth. Spread gelatin powder, one tablespoon, on your plate.
Thank you
I'm surprised you didn't mention avoiding the nightshade family. All are bad for arthritis. White potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, okra, eggplant. My arthritis improved dramatically when I eliminated them from my diet.
Oh . These are some of my favourites😅 and incorporated in our traditional diet everyday
He did say avoid veggies
Ok but it's hard to avoid all these things
I did a 48 hour fast!! All time record for me.
Well done, does it feel good during the fast AND to achieve that goal.
I feel great after 7 years of keto, when I do eat or drink carbs I get hip pain, shoulder pain, sore back. My goto meal Honey roasted wild salmon with my homemade pickles and grass raised organic cheese, with a couple eggs.
Also niacinamide supplement.... one of my parents had a hip replacement and the other had a knee replacement.... not long into my 40’s I started having hip pain every time I ran or if I slept on my side.... I was limping for days after runs... I read a Suzanne sommers book where she interviewed various doctors about natural solutions to common issues... one of the doctors recommended niacinamide supplementation for knee or hip pain due to arthritis and said it would take probably 4 months to work... I didn’t want surgery but wanted to run without pain so figured what could it hurt.... it literally took 4 months of supplementing niacinamide until my hip pain went away... I was able to resume running and side sleeping without hip pain.... In the years since this discovery I have noticed hip pain comes back if I stop taking it.... I consider myself a bio hacker with supplements and after high dosage d3 I consider niacinamide my #2 supplement
Interesting. How much d3 and niacin are you taking a day.
❤
Don’t forget your magnesium it goes along with D3 Vitamins
Sharing Dr Berg notes on this video!
Foods to avoid for arthritis:
• Fruits
• Nuts (except walnuts)
• Beans
• Whole grains
• Sugar
• Refined grains
• Trans fats
• Hydrogenated foods
• Seed oils
• Canned foods (except sardines or cod liver)
• Powdered protein
• High-oxalate foods
It’s typically recommended to avoid eggs, red meat, and dairy if you have arthritis.
However, it’s important to understand that grain-fed animals have a very different omega-6 to omega-3 ratio than organic grass-fed, pasture-raised, or wild-caught fish and animals.
Organic grass-fed whole milk kefir or organic grass-fed raw milk cheese may also be better choices than typical dairy products.
The best foods for arthritis:
• Wild-caught fatty fish
• Seafood
• Pasture-raised organic eggs
• Fermented vegetables (especially cabbage)
It’s also important to add intermittent fasting to your diet plan. It’s not just about what you eat but the frequency you eat that’s important in getting rid of arthritis.
Thank you Dr Berg!
😺👍
Basically most food lol
@@silverlake973 😅😅 how can I live w/o fruits
Thanks for sharing.
@@queva3062 sure you can, just eat plenty of vegetables 🐱👍🏿

Thank you for daily education.
😅😅😅
Yes. Dear Dr. Eric . That you for your daily education. Why are doctors telling us this most Vital Information?
Thank you sir. Your content is helping me tremendously. I'm in my early 50s, and this is helping me to get the body back, that I had in my 30s or even 20s! The combination of keto with fasting is a first time thing for me, I started about three weeks ago. But even in that short amount of time, its been like magic. I feel better now, than I have for a long long time! 🤗
Did u get help during your keto please،
I don't have that issue but love all the foods you recommended in this video! I feel my best when I eat clean keto and sauerkraut is life!
I have Ankykosing Spondilitis--auto immune disease which causes arthritis of the spine. Carnivore diet allowed me to go off of biologic medications taken by syringe twice monthly... I allow saurkraut as my only veg.
“… usually you should go in the OPPOSITE direction of ‘consensus’ …” TRUTH! Thank you Dr Berg, you are APPRECIATED more than you know🙏❤️🌻
Thank you for always sharing us informative video watching from Philippines.
You know how I know you telling the truth your voice structure and lots of studying. We are vibing. And I have actually experienced every food that you say or mention shall I say and what it does and what it doesn't do I have experienced it and it's just amazing
I wish my mom had known this 60 years ago. She suffered from RA for the final 40 years of life.
I wish I would have known all this information years ago for my mother too. She suffered so much and NO doctor ever helped, they do not know anything about nutrition like Dr Berg. TY
❤
Not me thinking I need to go rewatch Dr Berg videos about joint issues! Always on time ! Thank you!!! God Bless!
Thank you, Dr. Berg! I have osteoarthritis, so I really needed this information on what to eat/what not to eat to reduce inflammation.
This is a copy/paste of my comment. It might help you.
I ate a Mediterranean style diet for 15 years at which point osteoarthritis exploded in my left hip & knee. I suffered for 5 years thinking there was no solution then out of pure desperation I tried a low carb/Keto way of eating and like magic, I lost the 30 excess pounds I was carrying and 75% of my arthritis pain resolved in 3 months. I went from not able to walk 9 holes of golf to 10 hour hikes in the mountains with 1000+m of elevation. It took 2 years to get to 95% resolution of my symptoms and at 61 I'm looking forward to the rest of my life instead of dreading it. Thank you Dr. Berg and many others!
You're very welcome!
@@johnnypenso9574 Thank you so much!! I have osteoarthritis in two fingers and my knee. I also have osteoporosis in one hip and osteopenia in my spine. Need to seriously eat all the right things in my diet lifestyle. I’m 62.
Glad you’re doing so well now!
@@Drberg Thanks for your helpful videos!
I heard you say that you have a dwarf goat named Billy on your Q&A sho yesterday, and since "billy" means buck, I just wanted to say that a dwarf goat is not going to give nearly as much milk as a Sanaan or other larger goat. 🙂
Try serrapeptase. It's a silk worm enzyme.

It repairs damaged scare tissue. The same scar tissue that's worn down between joints. The same scar tissue that 'doctors' claim can't be repaired.
Two years ago I had a blood test done to find out my vitamin deficiencies, if any. I was low in vitamin D3 and also blood test showed I had Rheumatoid Arthritis with a marker of 34 (normal 14). I was supposed to see the Reumathologist but never got to it, didn't want to start taking prescription meds. I upped my Vitamin D3 to 4000 UI at least 4 days a week and consume very little dairy (this was a challenge).
Had a blood test done about a month ago and to my doctors surprise my markers were 20, 14 less than2 years ago. This is a big deal since I am 59 years young. I also had parathyroid problems causing me to having hight levels of calcium in my blood. This problem also cleared as well as a suspicious mass that was believe it was thyroid cancer. I had the thyroid problem about the same time my high levels of calcium in my blood were discovered. At the time I had one of my parathyroids removed and half of my thyroid removed, were I had cancer.
Although thee Cardiologist or Endocrinologist won't admit that taking high doses of vitamin D3 help I believe it had a lot to do with it. I as well added K2, full spectrum.
You need to do your own research and ask questions, lots of questions.
Awesome 👏 Thanks for sharing! So happy for you 🎉🎉
I understand nutrition is of most importance but I no longer consume pork. It is said ( in the bible ) they are cleaners of the earth. I was being sick often so, I've changed my diet and already notice a difference with my health in a positive way.
Dr. Berg, thank you for your advice. I’m now more informed about what I put in my body. I was on the verge of becoming an invalid. I had difficulty getting up. My joints would ache. I was gaining excessive weight. But thanks to your great videos, on type 2 diabetes and arthritis. I was able to make smart choices and follow your recommendations. I started fasting. It got easier and easier. I’ve lost 10lbs, so far. I feel much better. I started walking again, at our local park. Dr. Berg, you are my hero! Thank you!,😊
Thanks Dr. Berg. I have sever arthritis. This is perfect timing.
You're very welcome.
Thank you for standing against the deceiving system
I have been having hip problems, maybe something here today will help. Thanks doc.😊
Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on arthritis may help further.
I had arthritis on my knees since I falled down on volcanic stones at the age of 7, at 22 went to live in a kundalini yoga ashram and became vegetarian, no eggs as well, but I ate milk products, the arthritis on my knees dissapeared for ever, now I am 63, some vegetables do damage combined with meat products and their chemicals in our body, but without any meat, nor fish nuts, beans and all green will not be a problem, at least in my case was like that
I think there is still a lot to know/learn about the combination of foods. It's not just what you shouldn't eat. It's also about what you shouldn't combine.
I've might said that in several comments before, but I still think that both turmeric & ginger root are the greatest foods ever for any bone probs. I actually almost have non because of these 2 root veggies. Thanks for the info Dr Berg 🌸
How do you eat the ginger ?
Do you use raw/fresh turmeric and if so, how do you use it in food and in what quantity? How do you incorporate ginger daily, if it's fresh ginger?
@@UniversalPatriots Ginger works well in curries, however another DB follower in a recent video suggested finely chopped fresh root when you brew coffee in a Cafetiere, without milk or sugar. Tastes brilliant IMHO. I was looking to consume more as I understand it helps develop stomach acid. HTH.
@@UniversalPatriots it's a fresh ginger,. I peel it, mince it in a food processor, then freeze it in small portions, and in small bags, same for turmeric.
@@SpamMouse It has too many benefits, for us as Middle Easterns: we use it for Arabian light roast coffee, along with ground cardamom, it can be used with lemon juice as a hot drink on its own, which is a traditional drink in South Asian countries, especially for flues and colds.
I did some research and taking good cinnamon ( Cylon), a teaspoon a day works for me and my arthritis, but you have to take every day.
Wisdom is contagious. Keep it coming, Sir.
I find it essential to actually listen to the needs of your body. I've never been a fruit person (sweet fruit that is), however I have been influenced by others experiences which don't align with my own. I enjoy hearing about different ways/perspectives on other's advice, research and experience. Thank you :)
If you want to compare beefs and their milk products you should check that in Ecuador. All the cattle are pasture fed, have little fat, live out in the sun. They are allowed to free range and you will often find them on a safety rope eating at the road edge, eating anything green.
Wow, that's amazing. Thanks for sharing this info.
Been waiting for this video of what not to eat for arthritis relief
Great. Hope this will help you.
So if you have arthritis can you take collagen supplements? It is a powder protein after all. I am taking fish based collagen and I have arthritis, don't know if it will aggravate it or not.
I’d avoid it, especially for its likely content of maltodextrin and such. Some of Dr Berg’s videos /articles on collagen, on supplements, and on arthritis may help further.
Hi! Doc
I have these pain on both of my knee and just found out today it was Arthritis! I will try my best to avoid red meats and yes to fruits and veggies. Thank you doctor ❤️❤️😭😭
Why red meat?
@@Cyberbeestyyes he didn’t say to avoid red meat. He said to avoid red meat that is grain-fed. You SHoUld be eating grass-fed or grass-finished meat and organs. End of story.
Very glad to be of help.
Based on this, there are two options - starve yourself to death to avoid joint pain or become rich to buy the food sources required to keep inflammation in check. Interesting videos, but suggest dialing it in so that it is actually practical for everyday consumers.
No, best for him to tell the truth, then everyone else can manage according to their needs and resources...
We don't want him becoming like the government and tell us to eat crappy food just because they are cheap for consumers (and profitable for the makers)...
@@jm47889You are missing the point. No one suggests not telling the truth. Anyone can talk about the theoretical dos and don’ts - the value is distilling it down to practical use in everyday life.
@@Ryker06 What's practical is different for every person as it depends on your goals, your body, where you live, your financial means, ...it's up to you to do additional research taking into account the above and come up with your own practical lifestyle & continously finding ways to improve/optimize it...
@@jm47889 To a point, but consider it this way - when you are told sugars, carbs, fruits and potentially veggies , grain fed beef and poultry, all nuts minus walnuts can all cause inflammation and the potential alternative is free range chickens and cattle that are not grain fed and non farm raised fish then guess what - most people will just deal with the damn inflammation. Of what practical value to anyone is the video. Ok. So just about every we eat can cause inflammation! Wow!!!How useful is that huh? Give it a break and just continue being a fanboy or girl.
We're not supposed to eat all day long... eat once or twice a day, in a short window ( between 12-6pm for example ) you'll find your not as hungry & you'll eat as your designed to eat. It's really less expensive to eat grass fed/finished meat, A2 dairy, eggs.... the junk in the grocery store is very expensive, eating out is very expensive. You'll cut your food budget in half ❤
I had to eat rice every day for a couple years. My arthritis went through the roof. Avoiding rice had returned my joint health to normal.
I find avoided nightshade foods makes huge difference as well.
There is no more to be said. Thank you Dr. Berg. The list is on my fridge
Intermittent fasting helps so much. I'm on day 3 and feels so much better. Usually by day 5 I have no pain. I'm also removing processed foods, white bread and sugary drinks. Starting my juicing today. It helps so much. Thx for the videos Dr.

Is pickled raw papaya okay for arthritis,doc. Berg?
This was thoroughly enjoyed. So much wisdom to unpack, that my subconscious keeps getting penny drops "ah, thats why when this, happens that" 🤩 very affirming and enlightening
Great 😊 Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on may arthritis help further.
thank you again doctor for your advice, guidance, and explanations my regular doctor has no time to explain all these things to us. their main concern is always to see lots of patients and give the medicine as an easy way out of advice
No problem. Happy to help you all.
Thank you dr berg🙏💯. we wish to hear you on a topic "whether to drink water during eating food or not ? Hope you will make a video on the same soon.
Yes. I think he answers the drinking water question in some of his videos on stomach acid and on digestion.
Hello Dr Berg. Thx for your videos!
I was wondering, you are saying that the reason for arthritis is probably inflammation in the gut. Isn’t it better to fix the gut first and then fix the arthritis? Because in the video you are talking about witch food is good for the arthritis but how can someone fix the inflammation in the gut?
At 18 I was diagnosed with hashimoto, at 31 I got alopecia and now I got arthritis in my knees and my fingers, I’m 42 now. Thanks for reading our comments and responding through your videos ❤
Removing the foods he mentioned also remove inflammation in the guts. Some of Dr Berg’s videos /articles on gut issues will help.
eat protein from salmon or chicken
eat carbs from vegetables that grow above the ground
eat unsaturated fat (avocado)
dear doctor, i have arthritis in my hips, i am taking a powdered beef collagen, you mentioned the powdered protein, so i am asking about the collagen.. thank you in advance 😊
This is actually depressing knowing these so called "healthy" foods are anything but. Grass fed grass finished anything is so expensive as is salmon. Been watching these videos for years and very much appreciate all the content provided.
I agreed with your information. However, what about the people that don’t have access to good organic foods or the financial issues.
Natural food is costly and hard to find and hard to verify if the food is real organic.?
Thank you for information, your information has changed my and my mother lives as we both lost weight, and mother got rid of bone pain and we do lot of fasting now, sir plz make video for best food to brain and best food to tackle fatty liver..

Thanks Dr. Berg for making this video on "Arthritis", I remember just a couple of months ago, I commented on one of your videos on inflammation to make a video for Arthritis, precisely "RA".
Oh dear, Dr Berg made earlier videos on arthritis for years. Each of them helped me tremendously.
I discovered tomatoes 🍅 make my joints ache. ..as well as many processed foods, so I don't consume them.
We lost volume hf way through. Put on CC. A good report. Thank you.
Thank you s..............o much . With your treatment I feel so healthy .
Thanks for posting this. I’m supposed to get my SI joint fused due to arthritis.
A doctor wanted to fuse my wrists several years ago. He was also going to remove huge bone spurs on the thumb side. They were very visible. I declined the operation because I wanted to be able to continue to bend my wrists. I put up with the pain. I started taking Dr. Berg’s advice three months ago or so and my wrist pain decreased by probably 80%. I put this in the miracle category. Also, the bone spurs are visibly much smaller. Apple cider vinegar, no sugar, no carbs, extra virgin olive oil. All of this has had such positive effects. Not to mention dropping 30 pounds. Give it a try before operation.
@imhappy83 yes. Really.

thank you dr.I have a question, please..I tried Ashoganda for 3 months to treat anxiety and stress when confronting people, but my condition did not improve..Do you recommend another adaptogenic herb for anxiety and stress?
Hey Karen, ashwahganda is a fine supplement for mood etc, however it matters greatly in what form you're taking it and who manufactured it.
There are many products out there that are weak or downright false due to lack of regulation. I buy most of my products from mountain rose herbs, I'm not affiliated in any way.. just trying to help you out. I tried a multitude of powders before I found this company. Shipping is a lengthy process but worth the wait. Also, make sure your stomach acid levels are correct. If incorrect you will have problems with absorption. Good luck
Complex b is very good

So true.

If you read the comments under some of his videos, there’s a point where so many give up as the action is wayyy out of their range of what’s possible for them at that point.
I just love Dr Berg. He is so informative and so charming with it.
Please make a video on skin darkening after iron infusion. Thank you Dr Berg
Thanks for the video suggestion.
@@Drberg Thank you 🙏
Thankyou,dr your content is helping great but I want to ask you can we use collegen powder in arthritis?
Honestly I am completely lost on what to eat and what not. I have hashimoto, lupus, pcos and rheumatoid arthritis. The food that I should eat for one disease is often times food I should avoid for another disease. Also, being vegan narrows down the choice a lot. No idea what I should eat and avoid. I stopped eating sugar but probably will start eating it again because my meal options at the moment especially in restaurants is basically 0 😓 HELPPP
Hi Shane. Have a look at the books of Medical Medium on what to eat and what to avoid in order to heal.
Why are you vegan?
I am also lost. I have the same diseases as you. I don't eat meat, none. instead I use legumes, for breakfast I eat ground seeds of 5-6 kinds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, cinnamon and a little dried fruit. Plum, apricot, fig. To all this I add linseed oil so that everything combines well. I've been eating that for 15 years. I only take a little cheese sometimes and sometimes an egg. but in general it's almost a vegan diet. this information kind of confuses me. My illness has calmed down since I eat like this. but I'm still afraid that it won't return. Since i have occasional pain. But, what's good is that i'm not on any medication and i had come to a biological therapy. all these recommendations are a little strange for me. p.s. sorry for my english :(
I understand why you are vegan (my daughter used to be), but I promise you some bodies just don’t do well being vegan. She is better at being vegetarian. And some folks just do best eating meat. ❤😊
My knee swelled up , to be host i over did many exercises and had a history of severe injury, but i have been consuming a lot of chocolate and canned beans, kiwis.. thanks for the extra bit of info i didn’t know
Thanks doc for this valuable information ❤
You're very welcome!
Thank you Dr for such a valuable information..my mother suffer from RA from last 15 yrs when she was 30 yrs old,but as time passes she also suffer from low thyroid,pre diabetic,anemia and hiatus hernia ... I want your help dr.regardingy mother.
So plz help me what should I do .
Would love to see sample meals. How do we put all of this together?
I’ll add that fish oil curbs prostaglandin which contributes to joint pain.
Dr,Berg ,thanks for ever and endless
You're very welcome.
When we take away these foods then what do you eat
Thanks Dr. Berg.
I would love to see a video about bread vs it's toasted version. If toasted bread better for digestion, sugar content, etc.
In the past few weeks I only consumed toasted bread and feeling better comparing when I consumed mainly normal bread.
I know I shouldn't be mentioning another UA-cam doctor, but Dr Sten Ekberg made a video on this, and I thought I'd tell you!
@@jeandixon586 thanks :)
Check your glucose. Toasted or not it spikes the heck out of mine.
@@jeandixon586i watch both sten ekberg and eric berg😅
Regarding dairy, I can only eat plant based things, like plant based butter and cheese, Lactaid milk, etc. How do these affect inflammation? Also someone mentioned turmeric; it is a blood thinner!
Those plant based products are honestly horrible for you. I’m sorry but anything like that is processed to the hilt & indeed have chemicals added so they taste like something they’re not even close to. You’re better off going without
I may have said this in a few previous comments, but I still believe that ginger root and turmeric are the best foods ever for any bone problems. Because of these two root vegetables, I almost don't. I appreciate the details, Dr. Berg.
Thanking God for you as always and I need to go straight coffee, fruitless back to cod liver oil plus sauerkraut
Very good. Keep up the good work!
