I've taken a 2000 mg odorless garlic supplement everyday for almost 7 years and have not had a cold or the flu during that time. I swear by it. Doesn't matter which brand. My husband isn't as good at remembering to take his daily, and when he skips a few days and starts to get that little tickle, I have him immediately take one of the garlic supplements and 25 mg of zinc (always take zinc with food to prevent nausea), and most times he'll skip getting a cold altogether. But you have to do that right at the start of feeling like you're getting a cold.

Hi Dr. Berg. One thing no one ever mentions is the automatic lack of interest in food when one gets sick. I noticed from my self that every time I do get sick(and it’s rare) I want nothing to do with food yet people who mean well are alway forcing you to eat( “you got to eat to get stronger”) What I understand is the fact that your body instinctively is forcing you to “intermittent fast” in order to concentrate on fighting off whatever it is that’s attacking. It wasn’t until we got the “co vid” that we were told that some of the symptoms are “loosing sense of taste and smell” everyone focused on that when in reality that happens with most sicknesses. It’s just it was never pointed out so we all think it’s “just part of co vid only”. After he ing the flu once and going to the doctor one should be knowledgeable enough for next time to be able to just stay home, sleep as much as your body wants, drink as much as your body wants, never take anything to suppress temperature and just let your body do what it needs to detox and no drugs. It will take some time and it varies depending on how much crap you have inside. No need to go to the doctor... except of course visit Dr. Berg on line for tips 😁
You forgot to elaborate why zinc is soo important and how it works. Zinc I was told interferes with the way viruses attach themselves to our cells. It’s awesome.
Dr. Berg has many references to zinc on other videos. Go to his main channel and search for it. But it would be nice if his staff would more consistently put a card (link) to those other videos
I didn’t feel well taking a zinc supplement once. It’s important to know if you have enough zinc or at least get zinc from food sources before taking a zinc supplement. Look up zinc supplement side effects.
I hadn't had a cold in years until a few days ago. I did a few of these things already and appreciate the knowledge. Thank you, Dr. Berg! Blessings to a Happy New Year!
Thank you Dr Berg! You wouldn't be surprised to know the cold is starting around the time my stress level is high. Thank you again for being you. God bless 💞
I love consuming high amounts of Mediterranean garlic sauce which consist of olive/grapeseed oil and a ton of garlic ,lemon and salt emulsified in a thick sauce
[fluids-rest] [onions-mushrooms-garlic-tomato] [coffee] [exercise] order of importance [don't try to rest & drink coffee, for instance-when nearly recovered, though] this always works for me-if tired-go with it-rest, sleep
This may be off topic but decided to ask anyway. Here are a couple questions that I'm certain, many other people would like to know the answer to. I take supplements B1, B12, omega3, tumeric, berberine, magnesium, potassium, B complex, D3, K, zinc, coq10, grape seed extract, apple cider vinegar, probiotic, cayenne, garlic oil and a Multi Vitamin. If I went to look at the bottles, there are probably some that I forgot to mention. #1- Does taking all of these suppliments together, cause a ineffectiveness of some of them? It seems that if they hit the system close together, they would turn into a concoction of who knows what. With the cost of supplements, I'm hardly able to afford my one meal a day. #2- Will the Multi Vitamin be good enough to not need to take most of these suppliments? I've always questioned the effectiveness of multi vitamins. Mostly due to finding it hard to believe that there is enough of the different vitamins in them to be in one pill.
@@paolac.1678 I don't think that I will ever get a good answer to the question. I just take the water soluble vitamins with water and the fat soluble vitamins with my MCT coffee and hope for the best. I have thought about buying a expensive multivitamin made with whole ingredients rather than synthetic to bypass most of them. But, I still can't see how it's possible to get enough of all the vitamins in one pill, even if they are somehow highly concentrated. Seems like a huge gimmick. I went ahead and counted them all and have 20 suppliments, so I almost thought of them all. I may need to start eating once every three months due to not being able to afford food. I forgot about MCT and virgin coconut oil. That's not too cheap either. Then there is the price of pink sea salt and "No Salt" for electrolytes.
@@gyrospinup Food-based supplements are superior in their ability to work synergistcally. You have likely answered your own question. Indeed more expensive, but better assimilated with a few exceptions. Dr. Berg also speaks about this. I see that your post is almost a year old. Wishing you the best of health.
That's great! I also dabble in iodine, eucalyptus Q-tipped around nostril, peppermint oil in ice water, cayenne, bone broth. You really should tell them how to prepare the Raw Garlic so they waist to only smell. I put that cayenne in both bone broth & lemon water.
I have not been sick for 7 years since I started watching you! But the other day I got the flu! I started immediately doing all these things you suggested. Thanks! Although I take acv and lemon everyday anyway. And I put 2 tablespoons of acv and a whole lemon with peeling and I still got a cold! Not sure what happened? I never eat sweets.
Here is a quick disclaimer for those who never read the description box: If you struggle with low blood pressure, aka hypotension, garlic and even lemons in any form will have an immediate and significant effect on your blood pressure. So, be careful if your blood pressure is already low. You can lower your blood pressure naturally via certain food, herbs, and even exercise.
Son got the flu Friday, I had started my weekend fast already. Got to Sunday he woke up without fever. I was feeling fine. Ended 45 hour fast with lemon water while making meal, sat down to eat and hurt everywhere, 😂 Didn’t want to start fasting again so soon, but will probably eat again in a couple hours then go to bed until tomorrow.
Funny this video was put up, especially in my case. I came off Keto and IF for two days over the holiday season. I immediately developed a cold, first time for me for nearly two years. Even my own family considered it odd in my case. I went on a two day fast and then back on OMAD and Keto. The cold disappeared over night. Let me assure you it will be a long time again that I wander from Keto OMAD and my Fasting again.
Juiced a few oranges, added the juice to blender. A little cherry juice, almond milk, 4 raw eggs, spinach, cinnamon. Feel great since doing so. Also had ginger tea with honey and lemon and purple raw garlic with peanut butter periodically throughout the day. Also had some sardines and a few Brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds. I imagine all of this helped expect maybe the almond milk and peanut butter. Peanut butter was just to mask the taste of raw garlic.
For me I find taking paracetamol immediately usually nullifies it and certainly makes any cold type symptoms last maximum one day. If feeling a bit heavy, I will simply hibernate for 12 hours and sweat it out. Pretty much doing 1-5 on this every week anyway, so can’t recall last time I got a proper cold. 👍🏻
I gargled with peroxide and used sterile saline nasal rinses followed by a warm salt water gargle. Worked so well! Sore throat was only an irritation lasted a half an hour. And zinc and vitamin c.
I've not had a cold for 13 years since I started my daily afternoon tonic of water, ACV and local honey. This used to be called "Switchel" or "Haymakers Punch" that contains electrolytes and antibacterial. Then when I started watching Dr. Berg and learned about sauerkraut I started fermenting my own and eat about 1/4 cup before every meal to boost vitamin C and other helpful bacteria. At the beginning of cold season, for prevention I'm especially strict avoiding sugars and double up on all food sources of vitamin C and Zinc. I eat only pastured beef and eggs. I'm 70 and no sickness or chronic problems thanks to Dr. Berg education :)
I had a cold start coming on a few days ago and did all the wrong things - raw milk, eating. It usually lasts for a couple weeks when I get one of these - starting in my nasal area and slowly working its way down over a couple weeks to lower chest. So I figured, after 2 days of the same I'd try something else: I was taking those little organic lemon juice containers and squirting into water. I switched to real lemons and I always put a little celtic or himalayan salt in my water. I stopped eating. I"ve finished day 2 of a fast. Things were better - I skipped the sore throat part and had a sensitive chest, way better but still having trouble taking deep breaths without starting a paroxysm of bronchial excitement. So I just tried one more thing and had to share - I had some magnesium tea. I used a product called calm which is a magnesium carbonate powder. The relief from the sensitive bronchials was immediate. Things are looking up - peace!
Thanks Dr. I believe your videos and information. I just caught COLD a day ago. I was literally searching for your old videos but luckily I got your latest update. Love from India❤
Literally started a scratchy throat an hour ago......made hot tea and settled down with my iPad to watch your videos and voila! Up popped this video. I have ACV, Lemon, and zinc....out of garlic though. On the mend! The ACV feels so soothing in warm lemon water. Thanks for these tips!
I tried this last time i started feeling a cold coming on and it helped so much. I ate no food for 24 hours only drank water with lemon juice and my cold never got any worse. Will be doing this all the time now when I feel a cold coming.
I beat an oncoming cold the weekend before Christmas with EmergenC and REST. I was blessed to have days off. And I slept 12 hours for 3 nights and took EmergenC. I think rest is so key. I beat it!
I am going through some kind of adult EBV infection... and man it is kicking my butt. It all started... as Dr. Berg always points out... at a time of extreme stress. It really sucks so bad and the problem with EBV is it can last a looooooooooooooooooong time. Not sure what to do. I have to work. Thank GOD I get a week off next week. I will try to sleep and rest and pray and not let myself go crazy from the anxiety of dealing with this. The sad part is that the constant symptoms just end up giving me more anxiety than I really should be having. God help all of us. AMEN!
I swab my nostrils with sesame oil (I use Spectrum brand) at the first tingle in the nose or other sign of cold/flu coming on. The oil doesn't allow bacteria or virus to grow. I also drink a tablespoonful and swab my ears with it. All symptoms are gone by morning. As Dr. Berg says, stopping it at the very beginning is key!
Hi, Dr.Berg. Thank you Soooooooooo much .l was the sickest. Because of your channel I am healthy, this since l am in keto diet I haven’t had a sneeze.God Bless you Dr.Berg. 😊🙏👋
you are right on with this Dr.Berg. I just knew that you were going to say pure lemons and apple cider vinegar. I think that is why my sugar levels are great and I don't have urinary tract infections any more. Thank you so much for this much needed information.
Dt. Mercola says a cold develops in the INNER EAR 1st, therefore, it you think you are getting a cold -1st symptom. USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE in the inner ear and let it bubble -10 minutes in each ear. I haven't had a cold for 4 years now.
houndjog I do the same for myself and kids. As a routine, we do it once a month, and rarely do we get sick. My stubborn husband won’t! He gets whatever is floating in the air, although we all eat same. Then he takes the vitC and D and takes him at least 4days to recover. Very stubborn.
Thank You for this video! I shared it with a few friends that are feeling “under the weather”. Would you mind recommending how much of these items? How many mg of Zinc? How many tablespoons of ACV and so on
Hydrogen peroxide H2O2 kills germs, and after it loses the oxygen on the bacteria, the remainder becomes water H2O. You can see for yourself if you have a sinus issue start on say you right side, the hydrogen peroxide will bubble much more in that right ear. I use the spray, it's easier, and just fill up your ear canal. Itll take more than 3 drops to get way in there. Let it bubble for maybe 3 minutes. You will hear when it subsides like when popcorn is done in the microwave. I've never gotten a good explanation why it works, but it does a great job. Doesnt hurt at all, just cold at first. Obviously dont use if you have an open wound, it would be painful.
Garlic tablets that also have Vitamin C , horseradish , fenugreek and marshmallow then add Olive Leaf Extract....works every time. Same for shingles but add zinc and lysene as well
Intermittent fasting helped me not just with 'love handels' - (completely gone , not even a curve , straight line ) and belly fat , but it helped me with anxiety and panic attacks ! I suffered from social anxiety panic attacks for 2 years . I tried antidepressans , didnt work , tried neurofeedback therapy (worked like magic on a cognitive based side , improved concentration, focus and others but still little anxiety). Then I tried Intermittent Fasting and OMG , after 5 days I felt so relieved , like stress was gone and I think that fasting helped me lower stress and I felt so good . It made me think differently and have different percepcions about health and I was kinda hipohodric all the time about heartbeat (I was really anxious when hearing heartbeat) etc.. Anyways , thank you Dr. Berg ! Will do IF every week for a couple of days couse is soo beneficial , like its free medicine and you even have to do nothing , just starve a little ! Amazing !
For me, drinking alcohol strongly correlates with initial cold onset. I can be in the same household with two other folks who have colds, and on the evening that I drink 2 to 3 beers, that’s when I catch it.
Dr. Berg. I hate cold. So I Developed one of my own technique to Kill it before it develops. It usually starts with tingling on inside of mouth at upper wall where the nose opens internally. I guess the attack begins from there. So I put honey on that inside wall and lie on back with chin up. Kept it for 5 mins. It worked for me many times. Also cleaning with tooth brush and paste to clean that inner wall, also helped me.Anyone can try and see if it benefits like it does for me.
Just got off work; exposed to lots of sick people so I immediately start mincing a garlic clove. Just seems to work for me. Going to buy lots of lemons too. Great info, Dr. Berg.
Make sure to gargle with salt water before bed and again in the morning. Helps to protect the virus from going past the throat into the lungs. Viruses cannot live in a salty environment.
Sandra Bentley Thank you for this tip! I’ve always seen/heard people using salt water when sick (I only used it when I got my wisdom teeth pulled out) & never really looked into it. I’m gonna try it 😊
@@__SHAY you're welcome. It really is very effective. Make sure your water is warm. I usually boil mine first, then let it cool or add some cold water to it, add your salt, 1 teaspoon to a half a mug, stir and gargle 3 or 4 times, spitting out after each gargle. Go to bed, keep yourself nice and warm. Repeat in the morning after brushing your teeth. Kills all bacteria and viruses. Hope you feel better very soon.
Always try to have my Zycam (loaded in zinc) in the house in winter so when I get cold symptoms I'll start taking them and it really helps. I try to take everything else on a regular basis.
Another great video by Dr Berg. There has been numerous talks the last few years concerning human blood types. Some researchers claim that blood types define your dietary habits and nutritional requirements. Are these claims true.? How can we take our blood type into consideration when deciding on our diet of choice?
It helps that at the beginning of starting to feel sick you run and exercise,it boosts your immune system. Last time i did it all syptoms stopped the next day.
Drinking chicken bullion really helps me! Lemon and tea help me with garlic and cinnamon too but I'm going to try the apple cider vinegar. Lots of sleep. Thanks for video. So much great information!
When you feel a sore throat coming on get fresh lemon and squeeze and add salt swallow but let linger in th throat before you swallow. Do every couple hours. It always works to knock out the soreness. I just did this a week ago while I was in another country and had to catch flight back to us. People on subway were coughing and I picked up this cold.
if garlic was good enough to save certain families during the plague, I figure it's good enough to ward off everything else. I've had the flu maybe twice in my adult life, all thanks to it:)
I find that if I eat 1 clove of raw garlic a day I never catch a cold . I never have had the flu I am 73 yrs old. But if I have forgotten to eat the garlic and start to feel a cold coming on if I get into a tub of hot water as hot I can stand it and soak for 20 minutes and get out of the water and get into bed and stay warm I can stop the cold. But that only works if you do it as soon as you feel the symtoms
Great job Doc. I'm surprised oil of oregano isn't on the list. I didn't know the difference between vitamin c and fresh lemon. I've used the fresh lemon juice and honey at the first sign of a cold for years, and this time I just used ascorbic acid type vitamin c and It didn't stop the cold this time , time for some chicken noodle soup with lots of garlic.
Not everyone has these ingredients but the first thing we my mom always told Us to do is apple cider vinegar lemonade So u add liek capful of apple cider vinegar lemon juice and stevia it tastes actually pretty good and it’s really good for fighting a cold
Nice vid. But a few comments: 1. vit C in lemons - not that good of a source. Many types of peppers, strawberries and kiwis have much more vit C. And are easier to consume. 2. "Avoid sugar because it's feeding the bacteria". Most colds are viral. Not bacterial. The reason why you avoid simple sugars (glucose, fructose and lactose) is because they slow down the innate immune system. 3. You need to consume quite a lot of (*crushed*) garlic for it to have a strong effect. It's hard to do so when you're fasting (as you recommended). So it's easier to get a high quality, acid-resistant garlic allicin supplement.
I am sick right now, and I also took oregano oil and turmeric. That really seemed to help. I am doing IF, and I hadn’t been losing weight until this virus even though I have been doing IF for a while now. I wonder why.
Thank you Dr. Berg! This is very timely as I feel a cold trying to come on after feeling rundown from the busy-ness of the holidays. How much zinc should I take per day?
I think what really helps every time, if I take it immediately when I get a hint of a cold or a sore throat, is: A.Vogel's Sore Throat Spray, which contains Echinaforce combined with Sage tincture and Peppermint oil. Works like magic! (I don't work for A. Vogel) Also, sleep!
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing! Could you tell us more about it and would you be willing to submit it here, so that we can share it? Please use this link: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
Just in time! We were just around a lot of sick people. It just hit my 4 year old daughter (and I have a 2 month old baby in the house). We were already doing almost all of these remedies because we knew we would be exposed. Just learned about the zinc a few days ago. Hopefully we we're getting enough through the diet, but we'll definitely be upping it now! Very helpful information! Thank you! :)
I used to peel a whole lemon and drop it into a blender, add fresh ginger, blend, add hot water and drink. Maybe I'll try this with the addition of fresh garlic.
Fasting is safe for kids short term. Most people naturally don't want to eat when they're sick and you should never force it. When they start asking for food, you know they're feeling better.

Thank you Dr Berg! You wouldn't be surprised to know the cold is starting around the time my stress level is high. Thank you again for being you. God bless 💞
I love consuming high amounts of Mediterranean garlic sauce which consist of olive/grapeseed oil and a ton of garlic ,lemon and salt emulsified in a thick sauce
Will take acv , lemon 🍋, and zinc tabs before boarding a flight ✈️ from now on ,Doc !! Thank you for the awesomely great information 💖🤗🤗🤗
Don't forget the garlic 😂😂
[fluids-rest] [onions-mushrooms-garlic-tomato] [coffee] [exercise] order of importance [don't try to rest & drink coffee, for instance-when nearly recovered, though] this always works for me-if tired-go with it-rest, sleep
This may be off topic but decided to ask anyway. Here are a couple questions that I'm certain, many other people would like to know the answer to. I take supplements B1, B12, omega3, tumeric, berberine, magnesium, potassium, B complex, D3, K, zinc, coq10, grape seed extract, apple cider vinegar, probiotic, cayenne, garlic oil and a Multi Vitamin. If I went to look at the bottles, there are probably some that I forgot to mention. #1- Does taking all of these suppliments together, cause a ineffectiveness of some of them? It seems that if they hit the system close together, they would turn into a concoction of who knows what. With the cost of supplements, I'm hardly able to afford my one meal a day. #2- Will the Multi Vitamin be good enough to not need to take most of these suppliments? I've always questioned the effectiveness of multi vitamins. Mostly due to finding it hard to believe that there is enough of the different vitamins in them to be in one pill.
@@paolac.1678 I don't think that I will ever get a good answer to the question. I just take the water soluble vitamins with water and the fat soluble vitamins with my MCT coffee and hope for the best. I have thought about buying a expensive multivitamin made with whole ingredients rather than synthetic to bypass most of them. But, I still can't see how it's possible to get enough of all the vitamins in one pill, even if they are somehow highly concentrated. Seems like a huge gimmick. I went ahead and counted them all and have 20 suppliments, so I almost thought of them all. I may need to start eating once every three months due to not being able to afford food. I forgot about MCT and virgin coconut oil. That's not too cheap either. Then there is the price of pink sea salt and "No Salt" for electrolytes.
@@gyrospinup Food-based supplements are superior in their ability to work synergistcally. You have likely answered your own question. Indeed more expensive, but better assimilated with a few exceptions. Dr. Berg also speaks about this. I see that your post is almost a year old. Wishing you the best of health.
That's great! I also dabble in iodine, eucalyptus Q-tipped around nostril, peppermint oil in ice water, cayenne, bone broth.
You really should tell them how to prepare the Raw Garlic so they waist to only smell.
I put that cayenne in both bone broth & lemon water.
I like all of your vids. I can tell you do this out of genuine care for people. Thank you sir
I so love this doctor for all the information he shares with us all.❤
Glad to help!

I have not been sick for 7 years since I started watching you! But the other day I got the flu! I started immediately doing all these things you suggested. Thanks! Although I take acv and lemon everyday anyway. And I put 2 tablespoons of acv and a whole lemon with peeling and I still got a cold! Not sure what happened? I never eat sweets.
Start a prolonged fast
Here is a quick disclaimer for those who never read the description box: If you struggle with low blood pressure, aka hypotension, garlic and even lemons in any form will have an immediate and significant effect on your blood pressure. So, be careful if your blood pressure is already low. You can lower your blood pressure naturally via certain food, herbs, and even exercise.
I have always struggled with low blood P. These things all help me
agree
Son got the flu Friday, I had started my weekend fast already. Got to Sunday he woke up without fever. I was feeling fine. Ended 45 hour fast with lemon water while making meal, sat down to eat and hurt everywhere, 😂 Didn’t want to start fasting again so soon, but will probably eat again in a couple hours then go to bed until tomorrow.
Thanks Dr Berg! I've also found coconut oil to be very beneficial for immunity protection and quick recovery.
Funny this video was put up, especially in my case. I came off Keto and IF for two days over the holiday season. I immediately developed a cold, first time for me for nearly two years. Even my own family considered it odd in my case. I went on a two day fast and then back on OMAD and Keto. The cold disappeared over night. Let me assure you it will be a long time again that I wander from Keto OMAD and my Fasting again.
Juiced a few oranges, added the juice to blender. A little cherry juice, almond milk, 4 raw eggs, spinach, cinnamon. Feel great since doing so. Also had ginger tea with honey and lemon and purple raw garlic with peanut butter periodically throughout the day.
Also had some sardines and a few Brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds. I imagine all of this helped expect maybe the almond milk and peanut butter. Peanut butter was just to mask the taste of raw garlic.
I avoid eating out during flu season. So many people work because boss gives them a hard time even though they said not to go into work when sick.
Omg that's true
True I work in a restaurant and management hates when someone calls in sick
I swear you're the bad guy if you called in sick or don't come in on an off day because you are sick 😐
For me I find taking paracetamol immediately usually nullifies it and certainly makes any cold type symptoms last maximum one day. If feeling a bit heavy, I will simply hibernate for 12 hours and sweat it out. Pretty much doing 1-5 on this every week anyway, so can’t recall last time I got a proper cold. 👍🏻
I gargled with peroxide and used sterile saline nasal rinses followed by a warm salt water gargle. Worked so well! Sore throat was only an irritation lasted a half an hour. And zinc and vitamin c.
I've not had a cold for 13 years since I started my daily afternoon tonic of water, ACV and local honey. This used to be called "Switchel" or "Haymakers Punch" that contains electrolytes and antibacterial. Then when I started watching Dr. Berg and learned about sauerkraut I started fermenting my own and eat about 1/4 cup before every meal to boost vitamin C and other helpful bacteria. At the beginning of cold season, for prevention I'm especially strict avoiding sugars and double up on all food sources of vitamin C and Zinc. I eat only pastured beef and eggs. I'm 70 and no sickness or chronic problems thanks to Dr. Berg education :)
You are such an amazing human. Your videos are 100% beneficial. Always a pleasure to receive your advice. Thank you Doc and God bless. Much love.
Thank you so much! Very glad to be of help!
I had a cold start coming on a few days ago and did all the wrong things - raw milk, eating. It usually lasts for a couple weeks when I get one of these - starting in my nasal area and slowly working its way down over a couple weeks to lower chest. So I figured, after 2 days of the same I'd try something else: I was taking those little organic lemon juice containers and squirting into water. I switched to real lemons and I always put a little celtic or himalayan salt in my water. I stopped eating. I"ve finished day 2 of a fast. Things were better - I skipped the sore throat part and had a sensitive chest, way better but still having trouble taking deep breaths without starting a paroxysm of bronchial excitement. So I just tried one more thing and had to share - I had some magnesium tea. I used a product called calm which is a magnesium carbonate powder. The relief from the sensitive bronchials was immediate. Things are looking up - peace!
I needed this 2 days ago. First time since I’ve been on keto that I’ve gotten sick.
I stopped a cold with 2000 mg of Vitamin C, elderberry syrup (homemade), tumerick and ginger tea and echinacea tea. The next morning my cold was GONE!
Thanks Dr. I believe your videos and information. I just caught COLD a day ago. I was literally searching for your old videos but luckily I got your latest update. Love from India❤
Literally started a scratchy throat an hour ago......made hot tea and settled down with my iPad to watch your videos and voila! Up popped this video. I have ACV, Lemon, and zinc....out of garlic though. On the mend! The ACV feels so soothing in warm lemon water. Thanks for these tips!
I tried this last time i started feeling a cold coming on and it helped so much. I ate no food for 24 hours only drank water with lemon juice and my cold never got any worse. Will be doing this all the time now when I feel a cold coming.
Great tips. L-lysine is also important for any viral issue, as it prevents viruses from re-producing. Stay well!
I thought it only worked against the herpes virus.
@@jt21419 Same
I beat an oncoming cold the weekend before Christmas with EmergenC and REST. I was blessed to have days off. And I slept 12 hours for 3 nights and took EmergenC. I think rest is so key. I beat it!
I am going through some kind of adult EBV infection... and man it is kicking my butt. It all started... as Dr. Berg always points out... at a time of extreme stress. It really sucks so bad and the problem with EBV is it can last a looooooooooooooooooong time. Not sure what to do. I have to work. Thank GOD I get a week off next week. I will try to sleep and rest and pray and not let myself go crazy from the anxiety of dealing with this. The sad part is that the constant symptoms just end up giving me more anxiety than I really should be having. God help all of us. AMEN!
I swab my nostrils with sesame oil (I use Spectrum brand) at the first tingle in the nose or other sign of cold/flu coming on. The oil doesn't allow bacteria or virus to grow. I also drink a tablespoonful and swab my ears with it. All symptoms are gone by morning. As Dr. Berg says, stopping it at the very beginning is key!
Hi, Dr.Berg. Thank you
Soooooooooo much .l was the sickest. Because of your channel
I am healthy, this since l am in keto diet I haven’t had a sneeze.God Bless you Dr.Berg. 😊🙏👋
you are right on with this Dr.Berg. I just knew that you were going to say pure lemons and apple cider vinegar. I think that is why my sugar levels are great and I don't have urinary tract infections any more. Thank you so much for this much needed information.
Dt. Mercola says a cold develops in the INNER EAR 1st, therefore, it you think you are getting a cold -1st symptom. USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE in the inner ear and let it bubble -10 minutes in each ear. I haven't had a cold for 4 years now.
houndjog
I do the same for myself and kids. As a routine, we do it once a month, and rarely do we get sick. My stubborn husband won’t! He gets whatever is floating in the air, although we all eat same. Then he takes the vitC and D and takes him at least 4days to recover. Very stubborn.

It has been 7yrs, and never a problem. I always use 3% solution. It has been working great. I use it to keep my mouth infection free as well.
Yes, it is the 3 % solution that you can buy at Costco or any drug store@@اممقداد-ق2م
We do this too!!
@X Oh stop. You cannot. As long as its never been injured or compromised, it's fine.
Thank You for this video! I shared it with a few friends that are feeling “under the weather”. Would you mind recommending how much of these items? How many mg of Zinc? How many tablespoons of ACV and so on
Hydrogen peroxide in the ear works in minutes. Best sinus cure ever.
How do you take it?
Gillian Stewart , Hi, Dr mercola says 3 drops in each ear.
Bleaching the inside of your ears to cure a cold? I’d like to see the science behind that 😆
Hydrogen peroxide H2O2 kills germs, and after it loses the oxygen on the bacteria, the remainder becomes water H2O. You can see for yourself if you have a sinus issue start on say you right side, the hydrogen peroxide will bubble much more in that right ear. I use the spray, it's easier, and just fill up your ear canal. Itll take more than 3 drops to get way in there. Let it bubble for maybe 3 minutes. You will hear when it subsides like when popcorn is done in the microwave. I've never gotten a good explanation why it works, but it does a great job. Doesnt hurt at all, just cold at first. Obviously dont use if you have an open wound, it would be painful.
agree
Garlic tablets that also have Vitamin C , horseradish , fenugreek and marshmallow then add Olive Leaf Extract....works every time. Same for shingles but add zinc and lysene as well
Intermittent fasting helped me not just with 'love handels' - (completely gone , not even a curve , straight line ) and belly fat , but it helped me with anxiety and panic attacks ! I suffered from social anxiety panic attacks for 2 years . I tried antidepressans , didnt work , tried neurofeedback therapy (worked like magic on a cognitive based side , improved concentration, focus and others but still little anxiety).
Then I tried Intermittent Fasting and OMG , after 5 days I felt so relieved , like stress was gone and I think that fasting helped me lower stress and I felt so good . It made me think differently and have different percepcions about health and I was kinda hipohodric all the time about heartbeat (I was really anxious when hearing heartbeat) etc.. Anyways , thank you Dr. Berg ! Will do IF every week for a couple of days couse is soo beneficial , like its free medicine and you even have to do nothing , just starve a little ! Amazing !
When you start to hear or feel your own pulse/heartbeat, start chugging water. It will go away along with your anxiety ❤
For me, drinking alcohol strongly correlates with initial cold onset. I can be in the same household with two other folks who have colds, and on the evening that I drink 2 to 3 beers, that’s when I catch it.
Perhaps better stated, that’s when I activate the virus that’s already in me.
Same 😢
From my experience, Dr. Berg got it exactly correct regarding dairy products and they prolonging a cold.
Thanks doc. Great advices! happy New year to everybody
Happy 2019!
Happy new year！
Happy New Year's to you and yours. 2019 is going to be great!
Love the tv snippets..btw thank you so much Dr. Berg what you are doing is saving lives.
I always double up vitamins and take zinc... doesn't stop me from getting a cold, but less severe and usually gone in 3 days or so.
This video Came to me at the correct time
Get well soon!
haha! same. It's like he can read your mind
Dr. Berg. I hate cold. So I Developed one of my own technique to Kill it before it develops. It usually starts with tingling on inside of mouth at upper wall where the nose opens internally. I guess the attack begins from there. So I put honey on that inside wall and lie on back with chin up. Kept it for 5 mins. It worked for me many times. Also cleaning with tooth brush and paste to clean that inner wall, also helped me.Anyone can try and see if it benefits like it does for me.
Thanks alot doctor for educating us to save ourselves from the dangers of cold and it's infections . Thumbs up for u
Garlic tea with lemon and a zinc supplement then do a good 16-20 hour fast.
Just got off work; exposed to lots of sick people so I immediately start mincing a garlic clove. Just seems to work for me. Going to buy lots of lemons too. Great info, Dr. Berg.
Stop eating to get healing... how amazing is this and how opposite the knowledge that we were taught so far..
Plus monolaurin, olive leaf extract, fermented cod liver oil, elderberry, raw honey on throat (minute amount), lysine if you get cold sores
Thank you, I needed this right now! Itchy throat, phlegm, runny nose, nausea.. You name it, I got it right now. 🙃
Make sure to gargle with salt water before bed and again in the morning. Helps to protect the virus from going past the throat into the lungs. Viruses cannot live in a salty environment.
Sandra Bentley Thank you for this tip! I’ve always seen/heard people using salt water when sick (I only used it when I got my wisdom teeth pulled out) & never really looked into it. I’m gonna try it 😊
@@__SHAY you're welcome. It really is very effective. Make sure your water is warm. I usually boil mine first, then let it cool or add some cold water to it, add your salt, 1 teaspoon to a half a mug, stir and gargle 3 or 4 times, spitting out after each gargle. Go to bed, keep yourself nice and warm. Repeat in the morning after brushing your teeth. Kills all bacteria and viruses. Hope you feel better very soon.
Sandra Bentley I hope so too, thanks! 😊
Always try to have my Zycam (loaded in zinc) in the house in winter so when I get cold symptoms I'll start taking them and it really helps. I try to take everything else on a regular basis.
Thank you Dr.Berg actually I am having a cold right now it helped me ... Wishing you and all a Happy and Prosperous New year 2019
Another great video by Dr Berg. There has been numerous talks the last few years concerning human blood types. Some researchers claim that blood types define your dietary habits and nutritional requirements. Are these claims true.? How can we take our blood type into consideration when deciding on our diet of choice?
Just found Dr Berg, I’m a new fan as I really believe in vitamins and treating the cause. Thank you
Stop using dairy products....This information is new to me....Thanks Dr....Lot of love from INDIA...
We have always used echinacea with goldenseal root and have had good success with it.
It helps that at the beginning of starting to feel sick you run and exercise,it boosts your immune system.
Last time i did it all syptoms stopped the next day.
Drinking chicken bullion really helps me! Lemon and tea help me with garlic and cinnamon too but I'm going to try the apple cider vinegar. Lots of sleep. Thanks for video. So much great information!
When you feel a sore throat coming on get fresh lemon and squeeze and add salt swallow but let linger in th throat before you swallow. Do every couple hours. It always works to knock out the soreness. I just did this a week ago while I was in another country and had to catch flight back to us. People on subway were coughing and I picked up this cold.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Dr Berg.
Love your channel.
if garlic was good enough to save certain families during the plague, I figure it's good enough to ward off everything else. I've had the flu maybe twice in my adult life, all thanks to it:)
Been Keto for 3 years. Not even a sniffle in that time.
Same here. Reverted back for summer fruits and got sick twice
I find that if I eat 1 clove of raw garlic a day I never catch a cold . I never have had the flu I am 73 yrs old. But if I have forgotten to eat the garlic and start to feel a cold coming on if I get into a tub of hot water as hot I can stand it and soak for 20 minutes and get out of the water and get into bed and stay warm I can stop the cold. But that only works if you do it as soon as you feel the symtoms

thanks Dr. Berg, it's comforting to hear you say and remind me of these! I have been doing most of these intensified these days HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Great job Doc. I'm surprised oil of oregano isn't on the list. I didn't know the difference between vitamin c and fresh lemon. I've used the fresh lemon juice and honey at the first sign of a cold for years, and this time I just used ascorbic acid type vitamin c and It didn't stop the cold this time , time for some chicken noodle soup with lots of garlic.
Not everyone has these ingredients but the first thing we my mom always told
Us to do is apple cider vinegar lemonade
So u add liek capful of apple cider vinegar lemon juice and stevia it tastes actually pretty good and it’s really good for fighting a cold
Nice vid. But a few comments: 1. vit C in lemons - not that good of a source. Many types of peppers, strawberries and kiwis have much more vit C. And are easier to consume. 2. "Avoid sugar because it's feeding the bacteria". Most colds are viral. Not bacterial. The reason why you avoid simple sugars (glucose, fructose and lactose) is because they slow down the innate immune system. 3. You need to consume quite a lot of (*crushed*) garlic for it to have a strong effect. It's hard to do so when you're fasting (as you recommended). So it's easier to get a high quality, acid-resistant garlic allicin supplement.
Iodine also kills viruses extremely well (research about it). I hope the information helps.
Thanks to your other videos, I am already doing this each day every day. Just the stress things needs to be controlled more.
Since I have been in Keto I have much less colds. And when I catch a cold it never really materialises.
ACV and Lemon for everything- but I think I never did it. These two things absolutely destroy my GI track, cause huge anxiety and palpitations.
Keto, OMAD, Acv and Garlic !!! Perfect for me! Im 72yo. Kisses to everybody!
I am sick right now, and I also took oregano oil and turmeric. That really seemed to help. I am doing IF, and I hadn’t been losing weight until this virus even though I have been doing IF for a while now. I wonder why.
Thank you Dr. Berg! This is very timely as I feel a cold trying to come on after feeling rundown from the busy-ness of the holidays. How much zinc should I take per day?
I think what really helps every time, if I take it immediately when I get a hint of a cold or a sore throat, is: A.Vogel's Sore Throat Spray, which contains Echinaforce combined with Sage tincture and Peppermint oil. Works like magic! (I don't work for A. Vogel)
Also, sleep!
This is so timely on this time of pandemic!
I love your work doctor. Thank you so much. You have helped me loose 30kg (66 lbs)
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing! Could you tell us more about it and would you be willing to submit it here, so that we can share it? Please use this link:
www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
Just in time! We were just around a lot of sick people. It just hit my 4 year old daughter (and I have a 2 month old baby in the house). We were already doing almost all of these remedies because we knew we would be exposed. Just learned about the zinc a few days ago. Hopefully we we're getting enough through the diet, but we'll definitely be upping it now! Very helpful information! Thank you! :)
I used to peel a whole lemon and drop it into a blender, add fresh ginger, blend, add hot water and drink. Maybe I'll try this with the addition of fresh garlic.
Can you do a video for children’s cold? Or is it ok if they do this as well?
Everything here is safe for children, except fasting. I don't know if fasting is safe, so you should ask a good "natural" doctor about it.
Fasting is safe for kids short term.
Most people naturally don't want to eat when they're sick and you should never force it. When they start asking for food, you know they're feeling better.
They’re going to love consuming two lemons 😂
I just drink minced ginger. So awful man but guarantee you will be fine. Garlic works too because both are antibiotics no side effects though.
Do you just put some in water and drink it?
@@Churbitser No i boil em first in right amount of water first so when I drink it the juice is there. It is actually gonna burn your throat lol it's very awful tasting too.
yup Ginger is a superman food too!
I been legit eating a clove of raw garlic for that. Just do it!!!
@ArtPhilosophydeo Games, think I'm going to start mixing the minced garlic in with my scrambled eggs. Did it this morning, adds good flavor to them!
How do you guys manage to eat two lemons? Thanks for helping out. Just wanna get back on track 🤧
Yes when I use lemon 🍋 it does help I use seeded lemons more natural.
