To everyone reading this, I sincerely pray for that whatever is causing you pain or stress will pass. May your negative thoughts, excessive worries and doubts disappear, replaced by clarity and understanding. May your life be filled with peace, tranquility and love
I’ll never forget the day I was fainting in a bus in the middle of Mexico, this beautiful woman came up to me and gave me a hand full of pennies and said hold on tight. 5 minutes later I was no longer dizzy and felt completely fine. My mom ended up making me a couple of bracelets and I always carry them with me when I travel, bless that woman wherever she is!
@@maanzjthey have copper in them. Copper is supposedly good for joints which is why a lot of people wear copper bracelets. (especially builders and trades people in the UK)
Top causes of copper deficiency: • A lack of copper in the diet • Intense physical exercise (especially at higher altitudes) • Taking a lot of zinc, iron, potassium, or niacin without also taking copper • Consuming enriched flour products • Consuming fluoride from tap water • Taking high amounts of ascorbic acid • Excessive sweating • Sun tanning too often • Stress, high levels of DHEA, or high levels of cortisol • Consuming distilled water • Gastric bypass surgery • Consuming too much sugar, coffee, alcohol, or aspartame A genetic problem with copper absorption can also lead to a deficiency in copper. A copper brace that wraps around the buttocks where the sciatic nerve is or other topical copper remedies may be beneficial for sciatic nerve pain. But ensuring you’re getting enough copper from your diet is also essential. Foods high in copper include: 1. Liver 2. Oysters 3. Shellfish 4. Dark chocolate (sugar-free) 5. Cashews 6. Meat Thank you Dr Berg!
@@jazzycattruthkitten4101 My oncologist tested me for it and found I was very low in copper. So you might ask your doctor if they could Please test you for it. 😊 I started eating more red meat cause I just couldn't handle eating liver 🤢🤮. He wrote a script for Copper (which my insurance wouldn't cover 😔😭😡) hence the reason I started eating extra red meat. Best wishes to you 😊
Yeah my dear friend it as horrendous as you said.... At this moment I'm lyind down on the bad from about 6 days taking 2 types of medicines + paracetamol without seeing any progress I'm really stressed and depressed its very painfull its horrendous 😢😢🥺🙏
My wife had been suffering with sciatica pain for months. A month ago I got her a copper supplement and ramped her up to 20mg a few days ago and now on a 6mg daily dose. She has been improving all along over the last month to the point of hardly noticing any pain most of the time! Thank you for your informative videos.
@@Drberg Here's something to consider: The sciatic nerve goes through a small opening in the pelvic bone. That opening is very close to the colon. I believe that when we eat certain foods (for me it's cherries), the colon becomes inflamed, and because the sciatic nerve is so close to the colon, it also becomes inflamed. Thus causing the sciatic pain. I'm speaking from experience... because every time I eat an excessive amount of cherries l get sciatica.
@@nileemakhan I originally got the "Piping Rock" 300x 2mg chelated copper tabs off amzn and then found 300x of 6mg by Horbaach at the same price. Good luck!
Hey eric, Ayurveda reader and self practioner here. Just a quick thing, in our Indian families copper has been placed as one of the vital things and was used in multiple ways, however to make sure one does not get copper deficiency, our ancestors made copper utensils and stored water in them overnight. Bracelets might be one of the short term fixes, but the utensil stays forever, I even have one in my home passed on from my grandfather. Keep in mind to not place dairy products in copper, it can cause severe digestive issues on the long term. Thx for the reminder for copper, and I hope my comment helps 😊.
Suffering sciatica for so many years and after doing low carb and fasting all pains are gone. Thanks to all low-carb doctors sharing their time and knowledge to educate us. God Bless!
My wife and I both have had bad backs and I have an aching shoulder. We watched this video and started taking copper as per one of your recommendations and the pain went away for both of us. This isn’t the first time we have watched one of your videos and it has helped. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Back in the 70s my grandmother, who suffered terribly from arthritis and associated pain, flew to Boston to see a specialist and one of the things he told her was to wear a copper bracelet. She did until the day she died when she was 100 years old. She swore by that bracelet because, from the time she started wearing it, her suffering eased greatly and she lived a long and healthy life.
Phenomenal! There are some great doctors indeed in Boston & most are just researchers there that love the 💰 more than human life. So glad your grandmother found a great one. May she rest in heaven. 🙏 💜 My grandparents from dad side lived to 103 and mom's father about 90 of I can recall. Hematite bracelets, necklace and such are great too! Thanks for sharing 🥳💖
Thank you 10.37pm Thank you, Dr. Berg for all of the helpful info about our health condition You are a godsend to all u have help. I for one will always your biggest fan. Keep on doing what you're doing. Because we all need u right now.
I had sciatica pain off and on for years. This year it was so bad that I couldn’t walk properly. I got mri done on my spine and found I have a huge 0:20 mass on my spine compressing my spinal cord. I had a major back surgery and now recovering. Thank god for the mri and the neurosurgeon ❤
My neurosurgeon unapologetically made my back worse. After month or more I had another MRI and he casually says 'oh we will just have to operate again'. I told him 😡 After maybe over half year of further excrutiating pain, I LUCKILY found the most amazing chiropractor (an old school friend) and he laughed at my 2nd MRI and said '-your back is f*cked' AND that the 2nd MRI was far worse than the first. He did a lot of therapy on me to release my muscle fatigue etc and then limited manipulations -esp also to help the blood to flow freely again (most of it for free so definitely nothing superfluous). Two years later after being terrified of even using the stairs so scared I would jolt my back, I was back playing hockey and even marshal art again... The right exercises to strengthen and SUPPORT ones back is also SO important...💃
It's like you read my mind. This past week as been the worst discomfort and pain my sciatica has ever given me (from moving into a new home). Being 51 and not having health insurance I need to be able to take care of myself. Your channel and a few others have allowed me to maximize my quality of life. Thank you
"Being 51 and not having health insurance I need to take care of myself". You have no idea how sad that sounds to a Canadian. Of course take care of yourself after having medical attention. Americans deserve universal healthcare. You pay for Israel's military budget so that they can have universal healthcare. You pay fees to have military bases in countries that have universal health care. How do you vote ?
You should volunteer to help keep dems in charge. Republicans will do everything possible to cut Healthcare and social security. How long can people vote republican (against their own best interest) before they wake up!
Back in 2016/17 I had sciatic pain that was so bad I could hardly walk. We went on an Alaskan cruise and my wife insisted I treat myself to a relaxing massage. I told the masseuse about my pain and she recommended a bamboo massage. She intensely massaged that area and that literally healed my sciatica. To this day I've had no pain.
Yes, similar to my deep tissue massage by my osteopath. VERY PAINFUL, but couple treatments after, crying and sweating during painful massage, I'm healed.
IT'S GONE!!! i hade Sciatica pain for over than 13 years! I tried exercises, ostéopathe, chiropractors, and 2x Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections and non of these helped me! I tried to see DR. BERG Sciatica pain exercise and pain relief and it helps me when i sleep, but his last update with the COPPER BRACELET ouffff it changed my life! Thank you so much!! ❤️
I’m pregnant and my sciatica nerve pain is keeping me from doing a lot of things at the moment. EVERYTHING you said in this video made so much sense. It’s incredible the way you are able to connect so many dots. So grateful for your videos and knowledge ❤️
Dr. Berg once again God is using you to help many. I have been suffering for a week now with horrible sciatic pain. A trip to my doc, ER, x-rays, have given me nothing but medical bills. I pray and turn on YT and here you are helping us all with wise and informative info for FREE. I am headed to pharmacy now for copper brace and supplements. BTW-all you stated goes along with my blood work results. God bless you and your work.
Timely information . . . . it's like you have your finger on the pulse of many of your viewers and understand what they need to hear. You and your Team do a wonderful job. Thank you to you all.
Fenugreek seeds have a lot of copper. It gave me a great relief from ulnar nerve pain when i made a pad out of the seeds and wrapped it around my elbow. Thankyou for what you are doing Dr Berg !
Please, Victor,do tell. And i hope Everyone,and their mums are doing well! An mri shows nerves pinched in at least 3 places. I can't take any more meds ,can't take much more tho. Haven't tried copper, I'm just hoping those video isn't just a long ad.
I have severe sciatic back pain. I've had MRI's,Cat Scans leading to root block treatment,taken every kind of anti inflammatory,pain killer, tried acupuncture and receive ongoing physio. Any kind of heavy lifting is really painful. I loved my job as a builder,loved playing football and going to the gym but this has quite literally ruined my life. I've put on weight due to inactivity,I struggle financially and am constantly trying to stay out of debt etc. I use various stretching exercises daily that feel good at the time but can't resolve anything long-term. You use your back for everything. Living with severe back pain is so stressful. If we had a quick remedy I would have known about it by now. God bless and thank you
Have you tried rolling up a thick towel and lay on the floor and put it under your lower back and lay on it! Just lay on it gently. It gives me relief I also walk and it helps
I’ve been diagnosed by a neurologist with low copper before. Then treated by him for low copper and B1 thiamine. I now have sciatica. I’m going to try this.
Dr.Eric I am Dr.Shahid ,from Pakistan,permanently following and studying your channel and all videos.Surely, they are a lot beneficial not for common people but for professionals as well.Stay you blessed.
Amazing I'm deal with the discomfort daily in my hips. I am willing to try your suggestions. Thank you! Your a blessings to thousands of people. Stay blessed Dr. Berg.
I have Multiple Sclerosis and I suffer from sciatica from a surgery years before my diagnosis. The “doctors” don’t think the conditions are related. Thanks for your information, it’s important that people know they have options.
This is one of my last major issues... I've been watching and implementing Dr. Berg's advice/research for nearly 2 years. I've been fasting, cut sugar/ultra processed foods, daily cold therapy, only nasal breath, eat organic... Unfortunately, I can't drive for more than 2 hours without Sciatic pain. Thanks for the information!
I have had extensive sciatica pain and I am only 40. I got rid of the pain to a huge extent by doing the McKenzie extension or the Yoga ‘Bhujangasana’ pose. Do this exercise very regularly to strengthen your lower back
If the "sciatica" is localised in the butt cheek, and if the straight leg raise test is negative, then it's probably piriformis syndrome, in which case the cure would be to stretch and strengthen the hips, especially the opposite hip that the pain is on. The gluteus maximus and medius typically need to be strengthened, whilst the piriformis needs to be relaxed via hip external and internal rotation stretches.
My husband has piriformis syndrome and the doctor said true sciatica goes all the way to the toes. Piriformis syndrome typically only affects part of the leg. But the stretches help both since they both pertain to that nerve.
@@mhelen2810 Do both hips equally 👍I only stretched the side with the pain on when I was a teenager but it kept coming back plus I was creating muscular imbalances. Since I started stretching and strengthening the other hip it hasn't come back. Also, don't stretch too brutally as I wrongly did.
That’s what I have Piriformis.I have so much pain.It’s getting a little better but I have pain every day. Going through therapy and getting dry needling the therapist recommending to getting MRI Really don’t want to cause it cost a lot I’m thinking about going to a chiropractor
thank you so much Doctor, I am from Morocco, and in our tradition old women wear copper and my mother used to tell me that it is excellent for bone and joints pain.
and the old saying put the key in the hands of someone faint lol he mentioned that and i said wooe that was in our old tradition because keys made from brace coper fascinating how those people knew all that
I've had sciatica for 4 years badly in my back after i injured it, then sat a lot without exercise and smoked. It ruins your whole life. Really appreciate these videos 😊
You got to move even it hurt like hell bro. I got sciatica for almost 3 months and almost full recover (around 65%-70% i think) i did chrio, acupuncture, traditional nerve massage, consuming medicine for low back pain (i got it from my from friends, Indonesian medicine) and lastly excercise/fisio. At first month it hurt like hell, got difficulties when walking, sit down too. Hope this helps you Btw my biggest contribution to speed up my recovery was traditional nerve massage (i warn you, it hurt so much but after that I got very pleasant sleeping) and excercise.
@MrSilentkiller673 wow thanks. Yeh I think need to move and be on my feet for 2 hours a day minimum. Plus stretching. I tried everything as well nothing fixed it. Although percussion massagers are great. I've never heard of traditional never massage I'll have to check it
@Larimuss btw sorry for my english, i hope you understand me and hope this help you. Yes you got to move but dont push your self to hard and dont over streching. I dont know if in western got traditional nerve massage. But im from somewhere in asian so its quite easy to find.
It is horrible pain. Mine started a few years ago from what I didn’t know at the time was disc degeneration. Apparently one has to exercise the core, glutes and back forever to keep it at bay. My problem is being consistent w that. Good luck and hopefully the copper will help along w good diet and exercise.
I have been suffering from sciatica for over 5 years and after watching this I am using a copper bracelet which cured my pain to a certain level thank you for the advice
Me, myself, and I had sciatica nerve pain plus other medical conditions 1-1/2 years ago before starting your healthy keto and slowly, but surely it went away. Who what of thought? I know it worked for me, but it may not work for others. I'm working very hard to keep it that way. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for your knowledge again!!!
I been going back-and-forth to the doctors taking medication‘s and and none of it works so I’m glad I turn onto your show today thanks for everything and God bless😂😂😂
Literally getting over a bout of Sciatica...had it since I was a child but have avoided it more in my adult life. This makes sense and is eye opening. Going to dig up my copper bracelet right now and top up on my copper diet. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for all of the content that you put out. it has opened our eyes to the dangers of our health as a whole in our household. We also discovered and started following you on your UA-cam alternative channel as well. Your work will never go unnoticed. Thank you.
This video came at the perfect time. I was just telling my husband my siatica hurts so much. I blame it on the cold weather!! I’m so happy and thankful for you Dr. Berg!
I need this today! Thank you Dr Berg I've been having severe pain the last couple of days. This is the worse pain I've ever had with sciatica. I can't thank you enough. Going to try all these.
I have had this pain for years. I do use the sciatica brace, and it helps so much where I actually clean homes and I can do it. I also wear copper gloves for thumb arthritis and it helps immensely. I also drink teas like ginger, tumeric, and lemongrass. It's not all 100% gone, but I can work and drive without so much pain.
I had mercury poisoning as a result of my mercury tooth filling and the mercury laced flu shot 37 years ago. My mercury level was higher than 27 at the time of testing. I found that mercury depletes copper and causing neuropathy, varicose veins, sciatic nerve pain, lack of mental clarity and focus. I've been trying to restore the damage of the mercury caused. thx Dr Berg for this video
Crazy that I am reading this because I got the flu shot 2 years ago as a mandatory condition for where I work. About 3 weeks later is when I started to get the back pain with all kinds of sciatic nerve issues since then. And I kept saying it had to be that stupid flu shot
Wow It works with first dose 5mg iam just writting this comment to help for other person who is suffering due this pain cz I knew how it was terrible I was having it 12 years may only solution was nsaids that's worst for our kidneys and gastrointestinal and I was worried about it but I wasn't having other choice every dr was prescribing those analgesics. Finally as I saw this video yesterday I understood that this can help me I bought it immediately from nearby pharmacy I took 5mg I felt relieved for first hrs and this morning I woken up with completely no pain 😅 🙃 😀 with active mood and i started my day without pain. Finally I strongly recommend this for every one with sciatica Thanks Dr Eric berg
I love this channel. It’s helping me do my due diligence on studying how organizations and groups are funded. It’s appalling how they take bribes at the risk of public health.
Before you follow his great advice. Check your wrists first (and check whether you have hyper mobile elbows/knees/feet)!!! I had what I believe was Sciatica for 2 years, every time I would sit down, when I went to get up, it was a sharp shooting pain above my butt, that was the worst symptom. ONE DAY, I decided to do reflexology on myself (because I remember Dr Berg saying most pain is deferred), I could feel the part of my foot that maps to the sciatic nerve swollen. Long story short, I found out there's pressure points on your hands! The sciatic pressure point is top wrist at the veins, when I pressed down I could hear bones grind (but only on one hand!), so I massaged the area until the grinding stop. I kid you not, IT CLEARED MY PAIN!!!.... So I do have hyper mobile elbows and knees and this may play a factor in why this happened to me. BUT INCASE IT HELPS SOMEONE OUT THERE! and thank you Dr Berg ;)
Hi Dr. Berg! Thank you for all of the great info you provide on your channel. I got injured at the gym and it triggered sciatica, which I haven’t dealt with in years! It’s the worst case I ever had, pain in the buttock, lower back, hamstring and fire in my calf. After 2 days of this misery I saw your video, remembered that I have a large copper bracelet and put it around my ankle. It felt like the pain was getting worse but after about 20 minutes I felt muscles contracting like they were loosening up. I felt it in all of the 3 aforementioned areas. Then… the pain started to subside and I fell asleep. I almost slept the whole night but I changed positions and I started hurting again for a very short while, it left and I was able to get up and walk my dog! Thanks so much!!
This is the second time I’ve had it , only on both sides this time .I had acupuncture after suffering for three months, it was marvellous.I have at the moment undergone more acupuncture, but now started copper tablets to go with zinc , Tumeric and Boswellia.along with stretching of coarse it is getting better but if I sit to long or walk to long it gets painful 🤞
@@maureennewman905 How many sessions of acupuncture did you have before you started to feel better? I've had 4 sessions but can't really say it's helping.
I had pain in my buttocks for over a year, which is probably sciatica. I watched this video and decided to try copper supplement. To my surprise it really helped and the pain went away. Fingers crossed this will continue. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Dr. Berg is da' man! I've been struggling with Sciatica pain ever since my 2 tours of duty in iraq in 2004 and 2008! FOB Anaconda, Baghdad, Kirkuk. A simple reason and explanation of copper supplements helped alleviate this debilitating condition in a matter of days. Thank you Dr. Berg! You're a miracle worker!
Stay calm, Dr. Berg, in my case, whenever I search for a health topic without specifying the name of the channel. most of what I find on the top of the search results is you. Bravo!
I’ve been dealing with pain for 6 weeks and today this video shows up. 😮 wow! I’ve increased my zinc and my exercise over the last 6 months. Now I know where the problem is. Thanks so much.
I made a curved stiff foam pad to sit on between my butt chheeks ... This spreads your hips apart to relieve the pressure on the sciatic area... soft seats and car bucket seats are real pressure on hips ...Pull cheeks apart sit on a rolled up towel to help pressure and pain .... A bit uncomfortable at first but when you stand up note the difference in pain ,,,, work with it as a daily thing to help realign your hips .... i do the same exercise for the curvature of my lower back and curvature of my neck to restore our natural spinal curves..
I have serious numbness in feet and legs. Diagnosed with L4 L5 disk issue and sciatica.. I'm a 71 yo low sugar athlete..Im going to start this protocol along with your other suggestions and report back results in 30 days..thanks
Thank you doctor!!! My mother has been nagging me nonstop for a whole month shes been having problems with her entire leg!! First it was lower back and then her nerve pain. It wont go away, doctors prescribed her so many pills to take, some of them work. Im hoping this copper thing will work for her! All the best❤❤👌🏻
Thank you Dr Berg, I learned a lot from this video! People without sciatica need to watch this to learn the physiology involved and keep their body tuned. Thanks again for all your research and imparting your experience to us.
Thank you Dr Berg,I'm struggling with for more than 3yrs since I have sugar daebetic i didn't know what's wrong with me I even walk with the crotch when i have to walk like an old person I can't walk straight the pain subside a little later
Copper bracelets are helping me with my Arthritis. Use the one's with the magnets. My pain was severe and it went down to mild and sometimes no pain at all.😊
Interesting, Il try anything to relieve my sciatic and lower back pain. For some reason now the pain is always on the left side, running into my groin and even numbing my left leg. So if the doctor does read this, I would love to hear his feedback.. thank you for your content, I’ve been a subscriber for sometime now and you ability to communicate clearly and educate your viewers is top-tier thank you sir
Exactly what I have experienced since mid April ‘24. I never had anything like this in my 71 years. Left leg is always numb and tingling from my back down through my calf and sometimes to my foot. I’ve had two epidurals going for another one in two weeks. Very little relief from them. Tried chiropractor and PT, both of those put me out of commission for several days with each trip. I’ll try copper bracelet and get back on keto to see what happens. I used to work three days a week walking about 5 miles but I cannot walk more than a few hundred feet now without severe pain.
I experienced pain under my left foot, calf, hamstring, buttock and lower back. An INR blood test revealed that blood clotting was not to blame. I watch your videos regurlarly. Then started eating copper rich food. Needles to say i love beef liver now cause the pain disappear. Thanks a lot, dr Berg!
Thank you Dr Berg! Going to find the brace and purchase . This pain and discomfort is too much . I had purchased a bracelet for my mom and she says it helped right away & noticed significant reduction of pain in her hands and wrists.
Wow! Thank you Dr. Berg! I had this medical issue for the last 33 years or so - and I didn't know what it was. I had an Ex-ray done and I was told I had Artritis in my lower back but nothing more about it so until now I didn't even know what it was until I watched your video. Thank you once again! Take care and all the best to you!👍🫶👍
I’m only 27 and have this pain 😢 I feel like I was just in a lecture. I appreciate this sooo much!!!! 🙏 I want to study naturopathy, and out of pure interest look into as much as I can. I have a lot of pain and I know many others are in pain, too. Thank you so much for this information.
I recently started doing heavy Romanian Deadlifts off the rack just below knee height along with 1 minute bar hangs and it has been amazing for my back.
I can't thank you enough Dr. Berg for your invaluable insights and knowledge that you so generously share on your channel! Due to years of hard physical labour, accidents and sports my back was given a MRI scan 10 years ago and it showed my lower third and fourth lumbar vertebras worn down and cracked, which in turn has immobilized me many times over the years in regards to my right leg from the buttocks down with severe pain due to sciatica. I do not take nor like pharmaceutical pills, occasionally a paracetamol but I do the your sciatic nerve exercises (very helpful!) and follow my intuition when it comes to what my body asks for in regards to foods ( check on all the items you listed ), but you just opened my eyes to copper. Interestingly I invested in a copper bracelet years ago and whenever I wore it the pain in my elbow and wrist would gradually subside. Now I wear it all the time and your video just confirmed it. I never heard of the copper brace for your back. I'm on it! So thank you again for this gem of information! With Gratitude and Thanks all the best from England to you, your family and your team.
In my native country, yellow coins that were made before 1955 (don't hold me on year, I have a few numbers in my head)were made out of pure copper. So my grandma would tape(bandade) coins to her back.😊
Something that concerns me is the possibility of imbalance between Zinc - iron - Magnesium and Copper supplements. Is there a golden rule for copper intake, in order not to be deficient to these other metals? Thank you, Doctor Berg, for the very interesting information you always provide.
Stretches, good chiropractor, hanging from a bar and swimming 2x week 90% fixed L4 stenosis which caused pain from low back to calf. Now I mostly hang and do hamstring and psoas stretches.
Do you do the two minute hang? I just came across that yesterday. I have issues with sciatica and l4 the spinosis and l5 so I should try the stretching on the bar
I prolapsed both discs in 2000. I literally couldn't walk. Thankfully a great chiropractor, tai chi and diet helped. Interesting about the copper. Thank you dr.🙏
Thank you so much for this information. I have been having problems and problems and problems. And no one seems to understand the problem. But you doctor have completely answered all my questions. And now I can get some results. Hopefully thank you so much for your program. I have never watched it too much. But so grateful that I watched it this morning. Thank you.😊
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg. Your videos always seem to come right on time. I am a recent recipient of horrible sciatic pain and low mobility. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to navigate life. I also have plantar fasciitis and heel spurs in the same leg along with an arthritic knee from a 20-year old car accident. I just recently started wearing magnetic anklets, and i can already see a difference with less swelling and better movement in my leg. Still too stiff for some stretches, but i am definitely going to try out the copper bracelets. Thank you! ❤
I hope you find relief from the pain and better health. I have had painful plantar fasciitis 2 times. The first time lasted 4 months and years later the second time I got it, I knew the healing benefits of fasting so I tried fasting. For 5 days I did a water fast and on day 3 the pain was gone! Amazing and very cost effective! I have done this another time after a car accident and as a result had chronic joint pain. I was taking (useless) painkillers for weeks, then remembered (!) fasting healing and again, pain gone on day 3 of a 5 day fast. Our bodies are miraculous but just need the time/rest from food to heal. Blessings to you.
I had sciatica real bad and almost considered a minimally invasive (lol) surgery. Then I heard about yoga and the "half pigeon" pose helped a lot, but like was mentioned it keeps coming back. A lot of great info to work on here today Dr Berg; thank you so much
Yes!.. had sciatica for years. Hamstring stretches kind of helped... Pigeon stretch instantly solved my sciatica 90%. Like flipping a switch. I almost could not believe it. So I continued the pigeon stretch once a day for a year... I then found the bridge stretch and it seems to work as good or better. I do it 3 or 4 times a week with hamstring stretches too. Only takes a few minutes. Give it a try.
As always, very good advice by Dr.Berg. Have HAD 'severe' sciatica for several years. (have diagnosed spinal 'stenosis' via MRI.) but not a candidate for surgery due to other medical reasons. My solution that has 'relieved' my sciatica was to "restore" my posture and 'shape/curve' of my lower spine by the semi-constant use of an orthodpedic lumbar pillow - a semi circular foam pillow at about 4" maximum with a 'belly strap'. I use it for sitting (never slouching!!), when driving my vehicle, and sleeping. The 'posture' restoration has releived my siciatica by 95+%. I also self medicate with alpha-Lipoic acid, bio-available B-Complex & magnesium(taurate). Plus, I had my primary care physician prescibe a total vitamin and mineral, etc. blood testing - and then corrected most all apparent deficiencies. My Copper 'balance' was OK, as I eat a lot of shellfish - mussels, etc. . Most healthcare insurance will pay for such detailed blood testing ... under their 'wellness and PREVENTION'' portion of their policies. The discussion of 'balance' of micro-nutrients, etc., I feel, is very and vitally important -- worked for me, as I am slowly and determinedly returning towards being an active life-long 'extreme athlete', even at my 'advanced' age !!!!!
Thank you for this. So you have a pillow that is a half circle, and somehow place it in the small of your back and then tape yourself to it while sitting? Something like that? Appreciate it. What brand of pillow?
I was able to get rid of my 20-year battle with sciatica by strengthening my lower and lower back. I have always worked out, but never really focused on it and didn't realize it was the problem until I did some research. It's been gone now for almost 3 years now!! I do take Ghk-cu also, but only in the last month.
Wow, fascinating. I just had bloodwork done and they told me I’m copper deficient. I woke up with sciatica this morning. I’m also on 50mg of DHEA prescribed by my Doctor for low hormones. Wow, this was so informative. I love you Dr. Berg! You are helping me so much with all my issues. I’m reading your book now and just ordered a bunch of your supplements. I want to give back since you have helped me when my own doctors just shove me out the door. Thank you!
Hi , For more than 1 year with pain in the calf, I tried all kinds of elongations, yesterday I found this video, today I cut 30 cm of copper of 2mm in diameter, I rolled it in my calf, I kept it all day, and for some reason the pain I felt disappeared, it was like having a knot and with the help of copper I untied it. It's incredible I still can't believe it, tomorrow I'll go for a run to confirm that the pain is gone
Thank you for this very informative video on the role of copper in the human physiology Dr Berg. You're videos are super educative and well researched. If I may add some info; in Bharat (India) , it is a very common practice to store drinking water in copper pots or flasks or drink water out of copper glasses. And the copper bracelets that you mentioned are also worn by many. It is highly recommended as per Ayurveda. However, doctors trained in allopathy or western medicine often caution against excessive use of copper vessels as it may lead to Wilson's disease. Now , is this concern founded? How much Cu per day is safe ? How do we gauge that ? Thanks
Thank you! I have sciatica pain in my left butt cheek to the point that it’s hard to sit down for any length of time plus carpel tunnel is both arms - the right being the worse. Walking is painful too. Myofascial therapy works for a short period of time. I am athletic and I push through the pain but I am tired of it. So I have ordered copper supplements, a copper bracelet, and moving the beef liver out of the freezer to cook tomorrow. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the info, I always find your stuff very helpful.
Almost as worst as my Fibromyalgia diseases my pain is so strong at times I really don't k which one I'm fighting here... Suffer from osteoporosis & thyroid disease as well. I seriously don't need any more pain... I hv this sychotic nerve pain on my left leg side from my hip dw to my foot & I'm very frustrated with all this pain... I've been doing the exercises for it especially when I can't moved!! I'm gonna try a few things w the copper & even the hip sling strap. Thank you kindly for this advice & comments♡💜
My mom is suffering from this same pain for over 3 years now ,she consulted many doctors but in vain . I will surely tell her about you . Thank you Dr ❤
Haven’t watched yet but this is perfect timing lol I’ve been in so much pain for months. When I think it’s getting better, I end up not being able to sleep and can barely move. Hope this helps lol
Therapy 2x a year, stretching whenever I can, with lots of fish oils, Vit. D3 5000-10k IU 120mcg Vit. K2 MK7 for the past 4 months, which I learned from u, Dr. Berg, w God's help & mercies, pain has dramatically been reduced- actually, it's 1/10 pain already!
Chiropractors can help diminish sciatica pain. You have find the right one. It took me about 2 months of twice a week adjustments, and now I go once a month. I’m 71 and work everyday as a farmer and have very little pain.
I hv been having sciatica for 3 mths now. The first 3 mths was like there was no day and night. Never ending pain, no sleep, crying till you hv no tears left. Couldnt eat, sit, sleep. Tried every means I can to make the pain go away. Bone treatment at the same time nerve medication, phisioteraphy...and today no more pain, im able to walk, still with crutches...need another 25% to get my normal life again
To everyone reading this, I sincerely pray for that whatever is causing you pain or stress will pass. May your negative thoughts, excessive worries and doubts disappear, replaced by clarity and understanding. May your life be filled with peace, tranquility and love
To you as well!
Amen
Thanks for your kindness! You are a good person!
Amen 🙏

I’ll never forget the day I was fainting in a bus in the middle of Mexico, this beautiful woman came up to me and gave me a hand full of pennies and said hold on tight. 5 minutes later I was no longer dizzy and felt completely fine. My mom ended up making me a couple of bracelets and I always carry them with me when I travel, bless that woman wherever she is!
What did the pennies do
There's copper in pennies @@maanzj
@@maanzjthey have copper in them. Copper is supposedly good for joints which is why a lot of people wear copper bracelets. (especially builders and trades people in the UK)
@@maanzj I’m not sure but it got rid of my vertigo
Pennies were made from 100% copper until 1982. Since then, they're made from copper plated zinc.
Top causes of copper deficiency:
• A lack of copper in the diet
• Intense physical exercise (especially at higher altitudes)
• Taking a lot of zinc, iron, potassium, or niacin without also taking copper
• Consuming enriched flour products
• Consuming fluoride from tap water
• Taking high amounts of ascorbic acid
• Excessive sweating
• Sun tanning too often
• Stress, high levels of DHEA, or high levels of cortisol
• Consuming distilled water
• Gastric bypass surgery
• Consuming too much sugar, coffee, alcohol, or aspartame
A genetic problem with copper absorption can also lead to a deficiency in copper.
A copper brace that wraps around the buttocks where the sciatic nerve is or other topical copper remedies may be beneficial for sciatic nerve pain. But ensuring you’re getting enough copper from your diet is also essential.
Foods high in copper include:
1. Liver
2. Oysters
3. Shellfish
4. Dark chocolate (sugar-free)
5. Cashews
6. Meat
Thank you Dr Berg!
T.Y. fidel 🤗
thank you Fidel
Definitely the enriched flour for me 🥲
Thanks for that ,how do you test for copper deficiency though ?
@@jazzycattruthkitten4101
My oncologist tested me for it and found I was very low in copper.
So you might ask your doctor if they could Please test you for it. 😊
I started eating more red meat cause I just couldn't handle eating liver 🤢🤮. He wrote a script for Copper (which my insurance wouldn't cover 😔😭😡) hence the reason I started eating extra red meat.
Best wishes to you 😊
This condition is absolutely horrendous, my greatest sympathy for anyone dealing with this! 😢 I found stretches really helped with mine.
@DaleJay667 That is very thoughtful of you, Dale. May the Dear Lord Bless you!
Yeah my dear friend it as horrendous as you said.... At this moment I'm lyind down on the bad from about 6 days taking 2 types of medicines + paracetamol without seeing any progress I'm really stressed and depressed its very painfull its horrendous 😢😢🥺🙏
Now I'm trying to make some streching exercises 🙏 hope they will help me 😢🙏🥺
@@mariospiteri8561 I’m in the same situation. Absolutely horrendous!
do you follow any stretching videos here on youtube? if so, mind sharing?
My wife had been suffering with sciatica pain for months. A month ago I got her a copper supplement and ramped her up to 20mg a few days ago and now on a 6mg daily dose. She has been improving all along over the last month to the point of hardly noticing any pain most of the time! Thank you for your informative videos.
Glad they have helped!
@@Drberg
Here's something to consider: The sciatic nerve goes through a small opening in the pelvic bone. That opening is very close to the colon. I believe that when we eat certain foods (for me it's cherries), the colon becomes inflamed, and because the sciatic nerve is so close to the colon, it also becomes inflamed. Thus causing the sciatic pain. I'm speaking from experience... because every time I eat an excessive amount of cherries l get sciatica.
Hi which brand did you get?
@@nileemakhan I originally got the "Piping Rock" 300x 2mg chelated copper tabs off amzn and then found 300x of 6mg by Horbaach at the same price. Good luck!

Hey eric, Ayurveda reader and self practioner here. Just a quick thing, in our Indian families copper has been placed as one of the vital things and was used in multiple ways, however to make sure one does not get copper deficiency, our ancestors made copper utensils and stored water in them overnight. Bracelets might be one of the short term fixes, but the utensil stays forever, I even have one in my home passed on from my grandfather. Keep in mind to not place dairy products in copper, it can cause severe digestive issues on the long term. Thx for the reminder for copper, and I hope my comment helps 😊.
Thank you for sharing!!
Interesting. Im in Brazil will try to find a copper pitcher for water. Thank you
hey i had a copper glass but after some days it turned greenish at the bottom on inside. any explanation?
@@khush1894it may be copper sulphate deposits due to acidic water
@@twobornot2b so like what to do. is the tap water that bad? or is the glass low quality.
Suffering sciatica for so many years and after doing low carb and fasting all pains are gone. Thanks to all low-carb doctors sharing their time and knowledge to educate us. God Bless!
My wife and I both have had bad backs and I have an aching shoulder. We watched this video and started taking copper as per one of your recommendations and the pain went away for both of us. This isn’t the first time we have watched one of your videos and it has helped. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Back in the 70s my grandmother, who suffered terribly from arthritis and associated pain, flew to Boston to see a specialist and one of the things he told her was to wear a copper bracelet. She did until the day she died when she was 100 years old. She swore by that bracelet because, from the time she started wearing it, her suffering eased greatly and she lived a long and healthy life.
Phenomenal! There are some great doctors indeed in Boston & most are just researchers there that love the 💰 more than human life. So glad your grandmother found a great one. May she rest in heaven. 🙏 💜
My grandparents from dad side lived to 103 and mom's father about 90 of I can recall.
Hematite bracelets, necklace and such are great too! Thanks for sharing 🥳💖
Thank you 10.37pm

I had sciatica pain off and on for years. This year it was so bad that I couldn’t walk properly. I got mri done on my spine and found I have a huge 0:20 mass on my spine compressing my spinal cord. I had a major back surgery and now recovering. Thank god for the mri and the neurosurgeon ❤
My neurosurgeon unapologetically made my back worse. After month or more I had another MRI and he casually says 'oh we will just have to operate again'. I told him 😡 After maybe over half year of further excrutiating pain, I LUCKILY found the most amazing chiropractor (an old school friend) and he laughed at my 2nd MRI and said '-your back is f*cked' AND that the 2nd MRI was far worse than the first. He did a lot of therapy on me to release my muscle fatigue etc and then limited manipulations -esp also to help the blood to flow freely again (most of it for free so definitely nothing superfluous). Two years later after being terrified of even using the stairs so scared I would jolt my back, I was back playing hockey and even marshal art again... The right exercises to strengthen and SUPPORT ones back is also SO important...💃
You mean copper didn't help? 🤪
So, now what is the colour of your chair [ with having two wheeler ]
Amen. Thank GOD!
It's like you read my mind. This past week as been the worst discomfort and pain my sciatica has ever given me (from moving into a new home). Being 51 and not having health insurance I need to be able to take care of myself. Your channel and a few others have allowed me to maximize my quality of life. Thank you
"Being 51 and not having health insurance I need to take care of myself". You have no idea how sad that sounds to a Canadian. Of course take care of yourself after having medical attention. Americans deserve universal healthcare. You pay for Israel's military budget so that they can have universal healthcare. You pay fees to have military bases in countries that have universal health care. How do you vote ?
@donofon1014 Sadly they keep voting Republican and wonder why they have no medical insurance and help for the VA 🤨
@@RB-er6guwell we have had a democrat as President for 10 of the last 14 years, so not so much

I started taking copper supplement after watching this video and my back pain got better within days. I really cant believe it.
Thank you Dr. Berg!
What did you take to supplement copper
@@musamanneh8939 are you asking what form of copper? If so, chelated copper.
how many mg per day you take
Getting copper tomorrow
Thorne makes a great copper supplement, very tiny 2mg capsules.
Back in 2016/17 I had sciatic pain that was so bad I could hardly walk. We went on an Alaskan cruise and my wife insisted I treat myself to a relaxing massage. I told the masseuse about my pain and she recommended a bamboo massage. She intensely massaged that area and that literally healed my sciatica. To this day I've had no pain.
Yes, similar to my deep tissue massage by my osteopath. VERY PAINFUL, but couple treatments after, crying and sweating during painful massage, I'm healed.
What is Bambo Massage

IT'S GONE!!! i hade Sciatica pain for over than 13 years! I tried exercises, ostéopathe, chiropractors, and 2x Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections and non of these helped me! I tried to see DR.

I love him he come in the right time while stressing about this
It's the 1st time I hear this Dr,I love him already bcs I'm suffering with this scoliosis and sciatica nerve,
I’m pregnant and my sciatica nerve pain is keeping me from doing a lot of things at the moment. EVERYTHING you said in this video made so much sense. It’s incredible the way you are able to connect so many dots. So grateful for your videos and knowledge ❤️
I burnt a special part of my back and it is gone
The pain is gone
I helped several friends too
Do you have buldge disc?
I'm sending this to a friend that's been suffering for years with sciatica. Great presentation.
Did he tried? Helped?
Dr. Berg once again God is using you to help many. I have been suffering for a week now with horrible sciatic pain. A trip to my doc, ER, x-rays, have given me nothing but medical bills. I pray and turn on YT and here you are helping us all with wise and informative info for FREE. I am headed to pharmacy now for copper brace and supplements. BTW-all you stated goes along with my blood work results. God bless you and your work.
Update on your progress with the copper brace & supplements?
update please
Timely information . . . . it's like you have your finger on the pulse of many of your viewers and understand what they need to hear. You and your Team do a wonderful job. Thank you to you all.
Yes
I been dealing with this for nearly two months 🙏🏽 your timing is Godly, stay blessed glad I subscribed
Update?
Fenugreek seeds have a lot of copper. It gave me a great relief from ulnar nerve pain when i made a pad out of the seeds and wrapped it around my elbow. Thankyou for what you are doing Dr Berg !
how did u make the pack. n how did u take the seed. my mum suffering
Please, Victor,do tell. And i hope Everyone,and their mums are doing well! An mri shows nerves pinched in at least 3 places. I can't take any more meds ,can't take much more tho. Haven't tried copper, I'm just hoping those video isn't just a long ad.
I have severe sciatic back pain. I've had MRI's,Cat Scans leading to root block treatment,taken every kind of anti inflammatory,pain killer, tried acupuncture and receive ongoing physio. Any kind of heavy lifting is really painful. I loved my job as a builder,loved playing football and going to the gym but this has quite literally ruined my life. I've put on weight due to inactivity,I struggle financially and am constantly trying to stay out of debt etc. I use various stretching exercises daily that feel good at the time but can't resolve anything long-term. You use your back for everything. Living with severe back pain is so stressful. If we had a quick remedy I would have known about it by now. God bless and thank you
Have you tried rolling up a thick towel and lay on the floor and put it under your lower back and lay on it! Just lay on it gently. It gives me relief I also walk and it helps
Try yoga exercise with a rope I cured my sciatica that way
I’ve been diagnosed by a neurologist with low copper before. Then treated by him for low copper and B1 thiamine. I now have sciatica. I’m going to try this.
We use copper to rings for nerve issue in India.. to align nerves for healing.
Dr.Eric I am Dr.Shahid ,from Pakistan,permanently following and studying your channel and all videos.Surely, they are a lot beneficial not for common people but for professionals as well.Stay you blessed.
Amazing I'm deal with the discomfort daily in my hips. I am willing to try your suggestions. Thank you! Your a blessings to thousands of people. Stay blessed Dr. Berg.
I have the same issue have you try copper?
Copper & Electrical Fields ~ That is thinking outside the box! Thanks for being unique among doctors!
You are a life saver every time!!! All your medical advice has worked incredibly well. God be with you always. ❤
I have Multiple Sclerosis and I suffer from sciatica from a surgery years before my diagnosis. The “doctors” don’t think the conditions are related. Thanks for your information, it’s important that people know they have options.
This is one of my last major issues... I've been watching and implementing Dr. Berg's advice/research for nearly 2 years. I've been fasting, cut sugar/ultra processed foods, daily cold therapy, only nasal breath, eat organic... Unfortunately, I can't drive for more than 2 hours without Sciatic pain. Thanks for the information!
Get a sleeping boot
My husband is the same!
@@kaylanmichelle_ Thanks, I will try it.
I have had extensive sciatica pain and I am only 40. I got rid of the pain to a huge extent by doing the McKenzie extension or the Yoga ‘Bhujangasana’ pose. Do this exercise very regularly to strengthen your lower back
@Pathfinder8303 Appreciate the information, stay well.
If the "sciatica" is localised in the butt cheek, and if the straight leg raise test is negative, then it's probably piriformis syndrome, in which case the cure would be to stretch and strengthen the hips, especially the opposite hip that the pain is on. The gluteus maximus and medius typically need to be strengthened, whilst the piriformis needs to be relaxed via hip external and internal rotation stretches.
External/ internal hip stretching. Is it the same hip where pain felt or opposite?
My husband has piriformis syndrome and the doctor said true sciatica goes all the way to the toes. Piriformis syndrome typically only affects part of the leg. But the stretches help both since they both pertain to that nerve.
@@mhelen2810 Do both hips equally 👍I only stretched the side with the pain on when I was a teenager but it kept coming back plus I was creating muscular imbalances. Since I started stretching and strengthening the other hip it hasn't come back. Also, don't stretch too brutally as I wrongly did.
That’s what I have Piriformis.I have so much pain.It’s getting a little better but I have pain every day. Going through therapy and getting dry needling the therapist recommending to getting MRI Really don’t want to cause it cost a lot I’m thinking about going to a chiropractor
@yougoglencocoooo lifting, pulling suitcase or trolley bags, poor posture, dehydration and drinking too much bottled water tends to be my problem.
thank you so much Doctor, I am from Morocco, and in our tradition old women wear copper and my mother used to tell me that it is excellent for bone and joints pain.
and the old saying put the key in the hands of someone faint lol he mentioned that and i said wooe that was in our old tradition because keys made from brace coper fascinating how those people knew all that
I've had sciatica for 4 years badly in my back after i injured it, then sat a lot without exercise and smoked. It ruins your whole life. Really appreciate these videos 😊
You got to move even it hurt like hell bro. I got sciatica for almost 3 months and almost full recover (around 65%-70% i think) i did chrio, acupuncture, traditional nerve massage, consuming medicine for low back pain (i got it from my from friends, Indonesian medicine) and lastly excercise/fisio. At first month it hurt like hell, got difficulties when walking, sit down too. Hope this helps you
Btw my biggest contribution to speed up my recovery was traditional nerve massage (i warn you, it hurt so much but after that I got very pleasant sleeping) and excercise.
@MrSilentkiller673 wow thanks. Yeh I think need to move and be on my feet for 2 hours a day minimum. Plus stretching. I tried everything as well nothing fixed it. Although percussion massagers are great.
I've never heard of traditional never massage I'll have to check it
@Larimuss btw sorry for my english, i hope you understand me and hope this help you. Yes you got to move but dont push your self to hard and dont over streching.
I dont know if in western got traditional nerve massage. But im from somewhere in asian so its quite easy to find.
@@Larimuss i have to remind you again, traditional nerve massage hurt like hell, but worth it.
Seriously this pain is like dying. I need this. Thanks dr.Berg
Acupuncture might be your friend combined with a few fasts ?
It is horrible pain. Mine started a few years ago from what I didn’t know at the time was disc degeneration. Apparently one has to exercise the core, glutes and back forever to keep it at bay. My problem is being consistent w that. Good luck and hopefully the copper will help along w good diet and exercise.
I share your video to my daughter in law she just got sciatic nerve pain.
Tried all these things to fix my problem to no avail for 5 years. Did a decompression table 5 times and fixed my problem.
Copper doesn't help with a mechanical problem. I have spondylolysthesis and I only benefit from decompression
Right.
I have that also. Two vertebrae out:(
If you ever get any info on that, Dr Berg, please share.
AMAZING SO FAR!! Got my copper cream. One use on hip nerve and my bone/bone knees. Seems to be helping a lot!! ❤
Amazing! Do you believe the creme is better than the alternatives?
I have been suffering from sciatica for over 5 years and after watching this I am using a copper bracelet which cured my pain to a certain level thank you for the advice
Me, myself, and I had sciatica nerve pain plus other medical conditions 1-1/2 years ago before starting your healthy keto and slowly, but surely it went away. Who what of thought? I know it worked for me, but it may not work for others. I'm working very hard to keep it that way. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for your knowledge again!!!
I been going back-and-forth to the doctors taking medication‘s and and none of it works so I’m glad I turn onto your show today thanks for everything and God bless😂😂😂
Literally getting over a bout of Sciatica...had it since I was a child but have avoided it more in my adult life. This makes sense and is eye opening. Going to dig up my copper bracelet right now and top up on my copper diet. Thank you Dr. Berg.
How have you managed the pain since childhood?
Did help?
If you’ve had it since child hood you should get a scan or mri done as it’s possible you have spinal stenosis
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for all of the content that you put out. it has opened our eyes to the dangers of our health as a whole in our household. We also discovered and started following you on your UA-cam alternative channel as well. Your work will never go unnoticed. Thank you.
This video came at the perfect time. I was just telling my husband my siatica hurts so much. I blame it on the cold weather!! I’m so happy and thankful for you Dr. Berg!
what are you doing now to make it better? if may i asked!
I need this today! Thank you Dr Berg I've been having severe pain the last couple of days. This is the worse pain I've ever had with sciatica. I can't thank you enough. Going to try all these.
Did it work?
I have had this pain for years. I do use the sciatica brace, and it helps so much where I actually clean homes and I can do it. I also wear copper gloves for thumb arthritis and it helps immensely. I also drink teas like ginger, tumeric, and lemongrass. It's not all 100% gone, but I can work and drive without so much pain.
What sciatica brace do you use?
I had mercury poisoning as a result of my mercury tooth filling and the mercury laced flu shot 37 years ago. My mercury level was higher than 27 at the time of testing. I found that mercury depletes copper and causing neuropathy, varicose veins, sciatic nerve pain, lack of mental clarity and focus. I've been trying to restore the damage of the mercury caused.
thx Dr Berg for this video
Crazy that I am reading this because I got the flu shot 2 years ago as a mandatory condition for where I work. About 3 weeks later is when I started to get the back pain with all kinds of sciatic nerve issues since then. And I kept saying it had to be that stupid flu shot
Oh my goodness~~~ I am amazed because I also had mercury filling and all this information is so familiar.
How did you detox?
Wow It works with first dose 5mg iam just writting this comment to help for other person who is suffering due this pain cz I knew how it was terrible I was having it 12 years may only solution was nsaids that's worst for our kidneys and gastrointestinal and I was worried about it but I wasn't having other choice every dr was prescribing those analgesics.
Finally as I saw this video yesterday I understood that this can help me I bought it immediately from nearby pharmacy I took 5mg I felt relieved for first hrs and this morning I woken up with completely no pain 😅 🙃 😀 with active mood and i started my day without pain.
Finally I strongly recommend this for every one with sciatica
Thanks Dr Eric berg
Hello...
How are you now?
Are you still taking coppers?
Which Brand are you taking?
Any side effects fromt taking the copper?

Thanks for all you do
Before you follow his great advice. Check your wrists first (and check whether you have hyper mobile elbows/knees/feet)!!! I had what I believe was Sciatica for 2 years, every time I would sit down, when I went to get up, it was a sharp shooting pain above my butt, that was the worst symptom. ONE DAY, I decided to do reflexology on myself (because I remember Dr Berg saying most pain is deferred), I could feel the part of my foot that maps to the sciatic nerve swollen. Long story short, I found out there's pressure points on your hands! The sciatic pressure point is top wrist at the veins, when I pressed down I could hear bones grind (but only on one hand!), so I massaged the area until the grinding stop. I kid you not, IT CLEARED MY PAIN!!!.... So I do have hyper mobile elbows and knees and this may play a factor in why this happened to me. BUT INCASE IT HELPS SOMEONE OUT THERE! and thank you Dr Berg ;)
Hi Dr. Berg! Thank you for all of the great info you provide on your channel. I got injured at the gym and it triggered sciatica, which I haven’t dealt with in years! It’s the worst case I ever had, pain in the buttock, lower back, hamstring and fire in my calf. After 2 days of this misery I saw your video, remembered that I have a large copper bracelet and put it around my ankle. It felt like the pain was getting worse but after about 20 minutes I felt muscles contracting like they were loosening up. I felt it in all of the 3 aforementioned areas. Then… the pain started to subside and I fell asleep. I almost slept the whole night but I changed positions and I started hurting again for a very short while, it left and I was able to get up and walk my dog! Thanks so much!!
Thank you so so much Dr Berg, I am a long-time sciatic suffering person
This is exactly what I have right now and it’s very painful, my dad also gets it every year. Thanks Dr Berg!
Hope it helps!
This is the second time I’ve had it , only on both sides this time .I had acupuncture after suffering for three months, it was marvellous.I have at the moment undergone more acupuncture, but now started copper tablets to go with zinc , Tumeric and Boswellia.along with stretching of coarse it is getting better but if I sit to long or walk to long it gets painful 🤞

I made a curved stiff foam pad to sit on between my butt chheeks ... This spreads your hips apart to relieve the pressure on the sciatic area... soft seats and car bucket seats are real pressure on hips ...Pull cheeks apart sit on a rolled up towel to help pressure and pain .... A bit uncomfortable at first but when you stand up note the difference in pain ,,,, work with it as a daily thing to help realign your hips .... i do the same exercise for the curvature of my lower back and curvature of my neck to restore our natural spinal curves..

So if the doctor does read this, I would love to hear his feedback.. thank you for your content, I’ve been a subscriber for sometime now and you ability to communicate clearly and educate your viewers is top-tier thank you sir
Exactly what I have experienced since mid April ‘24. I never had anything like this in my 71 years. Left leg is always numb and tingling from my back down through my calf and sometimes to my foot. I’ve had two epidurals going for another one in two weeks. Very little relief from them. Tried chiropractor and PT, both of those put me out of commission for several days with each trip.
I’ll try copper bracelet and get back on keto to see what happens.
I used to work three days a week walking about 5 miles but I cannot walk more than a few hundred feet now without severe pain.
I experienced pain under my left foot, calf, hamstring, buttock and lower back. An INR blood test revealed that blood clotting was not to blame.
I watch your videos regurlarly. Then started eating copper rich food. Needles to say i love beef liver now cause the pain disappear.
Thanks a lot, dr Berg!
Thank you Dr Berg! Going to find the brace and purchase . This pain and discomfort is too much . I had purchased a bracelet for my mom and she says it helped right away & noticed significant reduction of pain in her hands and wrists.
Wow! Thank you Dr. Berg! I had this medical issue for the last 33 years or so - and I didn't know what it was. I had an Ex-ray done and I was told I had Artritis in my lower back but nothing more about it so until now I didn't even know what it was until I watched your video. Thank you once again!
Take care and all the best to you!👍🫶👍
I’m only 27 and have this pain 😢
I feel like I was just in a lecture. I appreciate this sooo much!!!! 🙏
I want to study naturopathy, and out of pure interest look into as much as I can. I have a lot of pain and I know many others are in pain, too.
Thank you so much for this information.
Are u fine now ?
I recently started doing heavy Romanian Deadlifts off the rack just below knee height along with 1 minute bar hangs and it has been amazing for my back.
I can't thank you enough Dr. Berg for your invaluable insights and knowledge that you so generously share on your channel! Due to years of hard physical labour, accidents and sports my back was given a MRI scan 10 years ago and it showed my lower third and fourth lumbar vertebras worn down and cracked, which in turn has immobilized me many times over the years in regards to my right leg from the buttocks down with severe pain due to sciatica. I do not take nor like pharmaceutical pills, occasionally a paracetamol but I do the your sciatic nerve exercises (very helpful!) and follow my intuition when it comes to what my body asks for in regards to foods ( check on all the items you listed ), but you just opened my eyes to copper. Interestingly I invested in a copper bracelet years ago and whenever I wore it the pain in my elbow and wrist would gradually subside. Now I wear it all the time and your video just confirmed it. I never heard of the copper brace for your back. I'm on it! So thank you again for this gem of information! With Gratitude and Thanks all the best from England to you, your family and your team.
In my native country, yellow coins that were made before 1955 (don't hold me on year, I have a few numbers in my head)were made out of pure copper. So my grandma would tape(bandade) coins to her back.😊
Something that concerns me is the possibility of imbalance between Zinc - iron - Magnesium and Copper supplements. Is there a golden rule for copper intake, in order not to be deficient to these other metals? Thank you, Doctor Berg, for the very interesting information you always provide.
Take copper at least 3 hours before or after the rest,especially zinc
I think Jarrow makes a Zinc & Copper balance supplement on Amazon.
Stretches, good chiropractor, hanging from a bar and swimming 2x week 90% fixed L4 stenosis which caused pain from low back to calf. Now I mostly hang and do hamstring and psoas stretches.
Do you do the two minute hang? I just came across that yesterday. I have issues with sciatica and l4 the spinosis and l5 so I should try the stretching on the bar
Do you hang upside down?
I prolapsed both discs in 2000. I literally couldn't walk. Thankfully a great chiropractor, tai chi and diet helped. Interesting about the copper. Thank you dr.🙏
Thank you so much for this information. I have been having problems and problems and problems. And no one seems to understand the problem. But you doctor have completely answered all my questions. And now I can get some results. Hopefully thank you so much for your program. I have never watched it too much. But so grateful that I watched it this morning. Thank you.😊
You're very welcome!
Mine hasn’t acted up in a while but was just talking to a coworker about this last night. I’ll refer to this video. Thanks
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg. Your videos always seem to come right on time. I am a recent recipient of horrible sciatic pain and low mobility. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to navigate life. I also have plantar fasciitis and heel spurs in the same leg along with an arthritic knee from a 20-year old car accident. I just recently started wearing magnetic anklets, and i can already see a difference with less swelling and better movement in my leg. Still too stiff for some stretches, but i am definitely going to try out the copper bracelets. Thank you! ❤
I hope you find relief from the pain and better health. I have had painful plantar fasciitis 2 times. The first time lasted 4 months and years later the second time I got it, I knew the healing benefits of fasting so I tried fasting. For 5 days I did a water fast and on day 3 the pain was gone! Amazing and very cost effective! I have done this another time after a car accident and as a result had chronic joint pain. I was taking (useless) painkillers for weeks, then remembered (!) fasting healing and again, pain gone on day 3 of a 5 day fast. Our bodies are miraculous but just need the time/rest from food to heal. Blessings to you.
I had sciatica real bad and almost considered a minimally invasive (lol) surgery.
Then I heard about yoga and the "half pigeon" pose helped a lot, but like was mentioned it keeps coming back.
A lot of great info to work on here today Dr Berg; thank you so much
It comes back how often?
@@JEEM-b8p that was with the yoga.
I guess you just got to keep doing it
With in hours
Yes!.. had sciatica for years. Hamstring stretches kind of helped... Pigeon stretch instantly solved my sciatica 90%. Like flipping a switch. I almost could not believe it. So I continued the pigeon stretch once a day for a year... I then found the bridge stretch and it seems to work as good or better. I do it 3 or 4 times a week with hamstring stretches too. Only takes a few minutes. Give it a try.
Thank you Dr. Berg I have followed just one so far and I have seen improvement.
In india, many people are wearing copper anklets, bracelet, chain, ring etc.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Yes, and traditionally, before beginning a ceremony, water is collected in a copper vessel & consumed!
As always, very good advice by Dr.Berg.
Have HAD 'severe' sciatica for several years. (have diagnosed spinal 'stenosis' via MRI.) but not a candidate for surgery due to other medical reasons.
My solution that has 'relieved' my sciatica was to "restore" my posture and 'shape/curve' of my lower spine by the semi-constant use of an orthodpedic lumbar pillow - a semi circular foam pillow at about 4" maximum with a 'belly strap'. I use it for sitting (never slouching!!), when driving my vehicle, and sleeping. The 'posture' restoration has releived my siciatica by 95+%.
I also self medicate with alpha-Lipoic acid, bio-available B-Complex & magnesium(taurate). Plus, I had my primary care physician prescibe a total vitamin and mineral, etc. blood testing - and then corrected most all apparent deficiencies. My Copper 'balance' was OK, as I eat a lot of shellfish - mussels, etc. . Most healthcare insurance will pay for such detailed blood testing ... under their 'wellness and PREVENTION'' portion of their policies.
The discussion of 'balance' of micro-nutrients, etc., I feel, is very and vitally important -- worked for me, as I am slowly and determinedly returning towards being an active life-long 'extreme athlete', even at my 'advanced' age !!!!!
Thank you for this. So you have a pillow that is a half circle, and somehow place it in the small of your back and then tape yourself to it while sitting? Something like that? Appreciate it.
What brand of pillow?
Excellent report. Anything to add?
Where's the picture of the pillow.
Congratulations on your success. I hope others reading this gain from your experience. (:
@@captnhuffy see above reply
I was able to get rid of my 20-year battle with sciatica by strengthening my lower and lower back. I have always worked out, but never really focused on it and didn't realize it was the problem until I did some research. It's been gone now for almost 3 years now!! I do take Ghk-cu also, but only in the last month.
Can you please tell me what kind of exercises? I have a disc bulde causing sciatic pain.
Thank for ever Dr for your honesty, god gave you a gift that you decided to use for the good of humanity.
No problem. Glad to make videos that can help you all.
Wow, fascinating. I just had bloodwork done and they told me I’m copper deficient. I woke up with sciatica this morning. I’m also on 50mg of DHEA prescribed by my Doctor for low hormones. Wow, this was so informative. I love you Dr. Berg! You are helping me so much with all my issues. I’m reading your book now and just ordered a bunch of your supplements. I want to give back since you have helped me when my own doctors just shove me out the door. Thank you!
Thanks. Hope the info here will be useful for you. Take care.
Hi , For more than 1 year with pain in the calf, I tried all kinds of elongations, yesterday I found this video, today I cut 30 cm of copper of 2mm in diameter, I rolled it in my calf, I kept it all day, and for some reason the pain I felt disappeared, it was like having a knot and with the help of copper I untied it. It's incredible I still can't believe it, tomorrow I'll go for a run to confirm that the pain is gone
Update?
Thank you for this very informative video on the role of copper in the human physiology Dr Berg. You're videos are super educative and well researched. If I may add some info; in Bharat (India) , it is a very common practice to store drinking water in copper pots or flasks or drink water out of copper glasses. And the copper bracelets that you mentioned are also worn by many. It is highly recommended as per Ayurveda. However, doctors trained in allopathy or western medicine often caution against excessive use of copper vessels as it may lead to Wilson's disease.
Now , is this concern founded? How much Cu per day is safe ? How do we gauge that ? Thanks
You're so kind, thanks DR❤
Right on!
Thank you! I have sciatica pain in my left butt cheek to the point that it’s hard to sit down for any length of time plus carpel tunnel is both arms - the right being the worse. Walking is painful too. Myofascial therapy works for a short period of time. I am athletic and I push through the pain but I am tired of it. So I have ordered copper supplements, a copper bracelet, and moving the beef liver out of the freezer to cook tomorrow. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the info, I always find your stuff very helpful.
No sugar!
@camillleduke7358 And ? Do you feel a differencexafter using copper ?
@@mariskaeelman7038 they never reply.
I fixed carpel tunnel by using flextend. It took a few months but that was 10 years ago and I’ve never had a problem again.
How do you feel after 9 months ? any progress ?
Almost as worst as my Fibromyalgia diseases my pain is so strong at times I really don't k which one I'm fighting here... Suffer from osteoporosis & thyroid disease as well. I seriously don't need any more pain... I hv this sychotic nerve pain on my left leg side from my hip dw to my foot & I'm very frustrated with all this pain... I've been doing the exercises for it especially when I can't moved!! I'm gonna try a few things w the copper & even the hip sling strap. Thank you kindly for this advice & comments♡💜
My mom is suffering from this same pain for over 3 years now ,she consulted many doctors but in vain . I will surely tell her about you . Thank you Dr ❤
What help her
Dr. Berg, you are a life saver, again!
I'm happy to help!
Haven’t watched yet but this is perfect timing lol I’ve been in so much pain for months. When I think it’s getting better, I end up not being able to sleep and can barely move. Hope this helps lol
Hope it helps! Make sure to watch the linked video on stretches for sciatica.
Therapy 2x a year, stretching whenever I can, with lots of fish oils, Vit. D3 5000-10k IU 120mcg Vit. K2 MK7 for the past 4 months, which I learned from u, Dr. Berg, w God's help & mercies, pain has dramatically been reduced- actually, it's 1/10 pain already!
Chiropractors can help diminish sciatica pain. You have find the right one. It took me about 2 months of twice a week adjustments, and now I go once a month. I’m 71 and work everyday as a farmer and have very little pain.
I hv been having sciatica for 3 mths now. The first 3 mths was like there was no day and night. Never ending pain, no sleep, crying till you hv no tears left. Couldnt eat, sit, sleep. Tried every means I can to make the pain go away. Bone treatment at the same time nerve medication, phisioteraphy...and today no more pain, im able to walk, still with crutches...need another 25% to get my normal life again
