I just sent this video to my sister who lost her son last year. Grief is so devastating. There are no words. I lost my son the year before. We are firm believers in finding natural ways to heal our bodies, minds and souls. You are not alone! Michelle, I pray that Jesus carries you through this valley of sorrow. I know like my sister and I, you are forever changed. Keep going. Keep pressing. Sending you love and prayers
I am so sorry to hear of the loss.of your son. And you're absolutely right. Grief will also cause adrenal disfunction in many cases, which has a ton of horrible symptoms. Grief & stress has been scientifically proven to take a horrible toll on one's body.
@Loves Dogs Yes, I can't even estimate how many Near Death Experience videos I've watched on youtube over the years. They've helped me tremendously regarding the loss of loved ones, & even my own fear of death. God, who is literally love & light, & an eternal life of ecstasy in His presence is truly real, I believe.
I went into remission with Ankylosing Spondylitis after 2 years on Humira. I am now off all meds. I reduced stress and eating better, cut my work hours and am in NO pain anywhere. The rheumatologist said I am in remission and I can be on monitor status! Yeah
@@Momtocam1997 RA is different to AS. Humira or biologics slow down fusion etc of the spine, ribs, neck and other things. And as this person said, it can put AS into remission. Diet can certainly help people. For some, biologics is the only thing to help. I have AS.
@@tinobygrace1 about 1 1/2 years. I'm about 2 years in remission. I started taking 10,000 iu of D and cod liver oil. I also take 100 mg magnesium every day, i may up that. Within a week swelling in my legs went down and i was walking much better. Now i walk 2 miles a day and bike. I didn't know i had R/A until i went for a knee operation (miniscus). After the operation the surgeon told me he tested me for R/A and it was off the charts. I don't eat bacon or any pork processed meats, it causes swelling in my ankles. Look up the other videos by Dr. Berg on autoimmune diseases, they helped me see the light and will help you.
I got hypothyroidism /hashimoto exactly when I lost my husband to heart attack (he was running marathons/was fit, he was 51), I was 50. So, yes, grief is a huge factor. With special nutrition, exercise, staying away from stress, rigorous discipline - I am keeping it under control. Thank you for these videos, they are helpful to know the reasons and how it all connects.
@@i.ehrenfest349 wow, so sorry to hear, this is so young and so sad .. we humans are so fragile.. whoever created us did a very bad job... was it heart attack? With one condition, if we do not manage it, often other autoimmune diseases occur.
@@jelena1970 It was very probably Marfan’s disease. It’s a genetic thing and often the first symptom is sudden death. I have a friend whose husband was diagnosed with cancer. Turned out he didn’t have it, but she went through such grief that her thyroid went bust. She’s now on thyroid hormone permanently.
Personal notes: 1. Lower stress Also B1, K+ Mg++, D 40k, Zinc 50mg, Aerobic exercise (long walks or biking) also B6 2. Before handling dysbiosis, handle leaky gut 3. Fast 48 hours every 2 weeks, also do OMAD/16/18/20 hour fasts daily 4. Lower inflammation through Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D and Keto 5. Optional, PMGs extra stuff lectin breathwork/deep breathing for stress grounding "sunshine camp"
@@Listah Thank you guys for liking and replying to my comment, I was making it purely personal and hidden but didn't expect it would help others too lol No, in fear of toxicity I stick to just 10k IUs for now, I want to bring my Vit D levels back to great then get my maintenance dose from sunlight whenever possible, not to mention sometimes where you live there are doctors or public health practicioners that understand and administer tens of thousands of IUs on a personalized plan with supervision and checkups, I see they sometimes administer 50k weekly and not daily, so I'd say research and consultation is important here, especially before taking a potentially toxic amount of Vitamin D3 which is fat-based (A,D,E,K), but you are the final decision maker in the end ولستة دوبني الاحظ انك عربي اهلًا وسهلًا
I just want to thank you Dr Berg and say for the viewers to heed this advice, it really works! I started the "KETO" diet in late January, 2022. 6 weeks in and no noticeable change, I was becoming discouraged and then one of your videos suggested that you sometimes have to get a life more aggressive than a 12-16 hour fast to initiate Ketosis for some metabolisms and perhaps an initial 24+ hour fast might be needed to kick start the process. About mid-March I initiated a little more than 34 hours. Remarkably if you time going to sleep where the hunger pangs come and go while in REM, you wakeup with a relatively easy stretch to your target end of fast. Those "hunger" cravings oddly disappeared around the 18-20 hour mark! Anyway I kicked into Ketosis and I normally go 16-18 hours before ending my fast and I now have about a 1/3 the former appetite, if that and I seldom eat more than a 2nd meal and never eat anything after 6 hours of my initial breaking the fast. In less than 6mos I lost 52 pounds! The added and quite unexpected benefit is I have a much healthier immune system confirmed by my personal physician! Thank you Dr Berg!
I have Lyme disease and it seems like none of the doctors that I have seen even k ow what yo do for me. It's changed my whole body so much. An has affected my memory also. I follow alot of ur stuff. And u are a life saver dr berg. Thank you.
In most cases, autoimmune diseases are caused by parasites. I think Dr's do not intentionally test their patients for parasites because they want return customers. I grew up in Africa and it is highly recommended to deworm every six months that's why Africans very rarely have allergies, lactose intolerance and autoimmune diseases.
My friends were missionaries in Africa they said they took a Sunday pill that was an anti-parasitic. They took it every Sunday. Other countries are more progressive about parasites.
I'm so glad Dr. Berg is sharing the link between STRESS and EBV! 👏👏 I had a problem w/ EBV reactivation 7 years ago and got stuck in this cycle of "needing" antiviral herbs frequently to control it. Then I realized that the root cause was stress! I shifted my focus to taking adaptogens and nervines (herbs that help you cope with stress), took up a hobby (painting), and got some stuff off my plate and I haven't had a reactivation since!
@@yve5659 my answer likely wouldn't help you much, because such things need to be individualized. Rather than sharing what I took, I will find a helpful episode from my podcast and post it below 😀
Syphilis is lyme disease is lupus is rheumatoid arthritis renamed. Its caused by parasite. Thats why doctors never test these patients with uv green light test because all would test positive for syphilis.
@@rosek8393 it was long ago enough and I change up my herbs enough that I'm honestly not sure 😂 As I said though, there is no single herb for everybody here. You're better off learning a bit about these herbs and selecting the herb(s) that fit your individual case the best. Hopefully the link above will help you too!
I have had multiple sclerosis since 2011 when I was a complete vegetable for lack of a better word and could not talk, walk, see, feed myself bath myself anything. I had over 60 legions in all of the terrible places to get them. After a long stay in the hospital, then as an in and then out patient at Stan Cassidy rehab Center and yearrrrrrs of being consistent with my plant based nutrition, physical activity, booting ANYTHING that stresses me out in life, power of belief and just trying to maintain a healthy overall, I can say I’ve been in remission for years! I can’t stress enough not to wait until you regret neglecting your health to take care of it. The blessing here is that I was 100% abusing my body when MS happened and if it didn’t, I’d probably be dead today. It was so hard but it’s really made me a way better person. Anyways, take care of yourself.
Hello hope you are doing well. just wanted some info on how did you recover and maintained your remission what supplements or medications or methods did you utilise hope you would answer.
My poor mom is almost 92. She has suffered for 21 years with RA. It started with a bang. Woke up one morning just red and swollen all over. It happened right after my sister died of a horrendous type of cancer. It was a terrible time for the whole family but of course for a mother to lose a child… I know now the stress is what did it. Both myself and my other 2 sisters developed autoimmune diseases within 3 years of losing our sister. We had all been extremely healthy our whole lives. Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles living til late 80s and 90s. We never worried about health at all. Stress is really a factor and will do you in! Thanking God Almighty for Dr. Berg. He has already changed my life. Follow his recommendations folks, you will get better.
Yes, mine began after the tragic suicide of my grandfather. I also had a child just then. RA is the greatest challenge I have ever faced, May we be healed !
Dr. Berg, you probably won't see this message, but you made so many good videos. They cover a lot of different topics and are understandable to a lay person like myself. You put a lot of time into them, your animations and descriptions are super awesome. I know you have a team, but I'm impressed that you persisted for such a long time and provided us with a quality work. Congradulations on the work well done and keep up the good work for your devoted viewers.
@@lulazeta8965 people like him are the givers in humanity. They don't see self as much as how their self helps others. My husband and I have been watching his videos for many years and have come to have great respect for him as a human being even more than as a Dr.
Dr. Berg, your depth of knowledge and your deliverance would’ve inspired me to pursue medical school. You’re absolutely the best out there and I hope you get your own show!!
Dear Dr. Berg, the only purpose of this comment is to say "thank you" for what you're doing. I'm genuinely impressed by how much of useful information you were able to put out there, while making it as accessible and practical as possible. I was lucky enough to come to similar dietary guidelines for myself even before the infamous UA-cam algorithm sent you my way, but I don't hesitate to recommend your channel whenever I see people struggling with improving their health and maintaining it on a decent level. It takes a lot of courage, energy and faith to search for truth the way you do, and I truly admire you for that. thanks again, please keep doing what you are doing, and God bless you and your family 🙏
I have been diagnosed with Thrombocytopenia. Platelets levels have been up and down like a roller coaster throughout the years. Doctors can’t/won’t tell me what’s causing it, I would love for you to make a video about what nutritional factors could be at play with this particular condition. Thank you for all the informative videos and the concise, soothing, and efficient way in which you deliver the content. Much love from New York!
I was diagnosed with autoimmune disease and the consultant was sure I had lupus about 15 years ago are used to go for checks every three months but after 2 years I checked myself out because I didn’t feel like it was doing anything and I kept feeling I was wasting my time. I also had terrible stomach issues which I was also getting checks for and I didn’t really connect the two at the time. I was probably pretty stressed as well as I had just moved to London, I also had terrible relationship patterns I couldn’t regulate emotions at all and every breakup would devastate me like a divorce even if it was only a few dates. I remember getting some absolutely awful advice from a doctor about eating white bread and cutting down on fibre which made me really start to think these people know nothing. I had not eaten bread for a long long time already and was into health. After this I decided to take it into my own hands there were times When I would be absolutely fine one day and then in bed for two days my whole body is to feel weak like I had the flu. I went raw vegan, Took probiotics and did a parasite cleanse and I have to say what must be about 15 years later I’m definitely way better than I was I’m not saying I don’t still get a little bit tired sometimes and I’m going to watch this video to see if there’s anything additional I can be doing. Full spectrum amino acids also seem to have helped me. But I’ve never had to take any medication and I’ve had a pretty normal life and I put it down to diet and lifestyle changes. I also became very spiritual meditated did yoga a lot, worked so much on my mental health etc and I a, sure that contributed to helping. I’ve never had to take steroids just one injection at the beginning then I checked myself out and self treated. I always intuitively knew not to go that route.
I do exercise a lot but then I did even when it was at its worst the only thing I was borderline deficient with vitamin d. But on the most part I’m quite impressed at reading this I intuitively made a lot of similar changes to what this guy has said. The only thing I’ve not really been able to manage is fasting I keep trying. I guess I eat carbohydrates because I eat fruits and vegetables but I don’t eat any grains or wheat rly cetera for about 15 years because I’ve always known they make things worse you can kind of feel it the same with too many things from the nightshade family. I’ve not eaten processed cane sugar for about 20 years either
Congrats on taking responsibility for your own life/Health. It is amazing what you hear when you listen to the doctor inside yourself. Intuition can be a finely honed attribute we all have...but not all use it and listen to that still, small voice from within. Good things can happen for all who do...who follow their "inner knower".
Doctor I want to say that you are doing a fabulous job with these sessions, in fact it is a noble act. I am globally many are benefitting with the valuable information you share through these videos. I can speak for myself, I live in India and have been diagnosed with some of these auto immune conditions and your thorough analysis is so helpful. A heartfelt gratitude!!
PLEASE go listen to Dr. Ken Berry speak about the Carnivore diet. He is a Nutrition expert and his whole family is Carnivore (including the two babies!). I've been on it for 6 months and it has healed me of several major health problems! THIS IS A MIRACLE DIET and I've seen comments from people who it has helped greatly with MS! I will NEVER go off this miracle diet!!!
I had Mono when I was in my early twenties and I was down for month! It almost feels like it comes back when I get run down. Work a lot, or not sleep well and I get sick.
Did you end up going this route? How did you fare? I came across a lady named Pam Bartha Live disease free her on YT she put her MS in remission my doing a medicated parasite cleanse. She has a lot of info on it.
I had many of the situations you mentioned in this video. I got my major stomach issue 2 years ago after the passing of my mother. I also at the time had an EXTREMELY stressful job with a narcissistic boss that would cause multiple arguments a week. Lastly I sat right next to a microwave that was used for the work forces breaks. I quit 1 year ago. Walk every night before bed. Eat much healthier and FINALLY after about 2.5 years I am feeling better. Thanks for all of your videos!
I had the worst boss when I was a teacher. I honestly can admit I got married and then pregnant to get away from that bastard. Haven't worked in over 30 years lmao
Quercetin is a zinc polyphore which helps it to be absorbed into the cells where it needs to be, so taking quercetin with zinc will work much better than zinc alone.
O M F G What a god send video. I also had terrible day after i took probiotics was tired, brain fog, etc. I am also on ketogenic diet 1 week and feel already better i thought that there are no ways i can get into remission but now thanks to this video and you Dr. i belive in it more than ever.
With the PMGs I think what's occurring is horizontal gene transfer, you should do a video about this. It's a large reason you want to avoid GMOs, as your microbiom ingests and assimilates the gene expression from the food you eat, sometimes causing problems (i.e. autoimmune and infertility.)
I brought this up a few years ago (horizontal gene transfer) and was laughed at by multiple "academics". That being said, I'm pretty sure this is a HUGE issue.
@@snowyowl6892 The gist is that what we consume has the ability to effectively change not just our "gene expression" (eg. epigenetics) but can function at the level of genetic inheritance itself. Debates still ensue about what *precisely* causes a mutation in our genes to occur and this line of thinking re: food, the microbiome and horizontal gene transfer argues for such a mechanism.
Studies on GMOs have suggested that they can also make diseases and viruses resistant to antibiotics and our own immune system. They are genetically modifying our food to be more resistant to things that would attack them, such as disease and pestilence. We eat the food, and bacteria and viruses in us take on those properties by way of horizontal gene transfer, and become more resistant to things that attack them, such as antibiotics and our own immune system. This can lead to more cancers, autoimmune diseases and they fear a super bug that can be resistant to our most powerful antibiotics.
My childhood eccema got triggered a month before my mom's death. She died 2014 and I'm still struggling with it 😢 A month after the pandemic I got diagnosed pre diabetic 🤯I'm fitness trainer and I eat very clean.

I feel you💜 I was a yoga teacher when my auto immunity started and I don't teach anymore. My joints and muscles ache, fatigued and I have gained 25 pounds even though I eat very well. It sucks.
I contracted EBV from mono when I was around 22 years old. It stayed dormant for 30 years. Then at the age of 52 I was rundown, and I also received a TDap booster. The next day I felt horrible. I felt like I had mono all over again. I am guessing that the TDap booster along with being run down triggered it. The doctor could see that the EBV reactivated again. 30 years later! I was able to put it back into remission with lots of sleep, zinc, lysine and monolaurin. I was already taking plenty of D3/K so I kept that up. I hope the EBV stays dormant!
I was diagnosed with this condition while being in a toxic relationship in the middle of it I lost 18 kg. I asked my Endocrinologist, could it be related to continuous stress ,he immediately denied that. I don't believe him! Conventional treatment isn't working for me,I refused RAI. I'm on Carbimazole tablets
Hey I have an autoimmune blood disorder called ITP. I’ve been struggling for 5 years taking drugs which give me so many other negative side effects. I’m platelet count has been zero for the last 3 weeks and I’m just done with everything . I’m glad I saw your video tonight I’m going to look into all the points u gave mentioned. Could you do a video on my disorder please? Many thanks Nadia
Excellent. Most autoimmune patients have low D 25hydroxy. Supplement with D3. In severe autoimmune the Coimbra Protocol with high dose D3 (100,000 to 700000iu D 3 daily) monitored by a doctor can be very helpful. Besides D3 other vitamins/nutrients are helpful. 40,000iu D3 is one mg. Hashimotos: lugols iodine, selenium, B vitamins. Fibromyalgia: lugols iodine helpful in relieving muscle pain in 8/10 women. Most people are not optimized in D or iodine. Since people are afraid of the sun and use sunscreen this lowers your immune system. The iodine level in food is almost nonexistant since farm raised fish has none and is was taken out of bread.
i wish we could take that daily i find the high doses really help i do 50,000 iu mostly once every 2 weeks i am riding the high blood range i came off it while back and what ever was wrong with me progressed i developed more symptoms with what ever is wrong with me now i find the vitamin d dose only works half what it use to and i only get a few decent days this past month i took it once every week really worried about my levels now sad a simple vitamin can help so many but we are dose restricted because of toxicity
Thank you for this. Regarding remission: My grandmother had spontaneous remission of RA. She exercised like an extreme maniac every day (changing her type of exercises) . She also meditated and prayed daily. She did Pilates and yoga. She walked every morning and usually every evening and some times a week did a long daily walk. She spent no less than three to six hours everyday on these activities, often more. It was a full-time job however she her RA went into remission. Her food was normal for her generation. Our food is much much much worse now so we need to take special care with food as well to get to the normal of the previous generation.
I have a friend or someone I used to work with anyway who had severe arthritis as a young person in her early 20s. It was so bad they were actually going to use her wrists together and she pretty much was bedridden. She also had a remission from possibly a dietician that gave her all these green juices and she also swayed by Kineseology even though she wasn’t into that stuff at all before.
@@lunity1111 That’s wonderful that she went into remission, especially from such a severe condition. Those green juices seem amazing. Kineseolgy looks interesting for sure.

Wow! I really appreciate your videos with how informative you are and with putting everything out there for us. I injured my back 10yrs ago but my back pain has been causing daily pain on top of other issues and weakness. My Doctor has ran blood tests and only found low Vit D levels, even with taking 2,000IU daily. I'm not diabetic but had been told by my old church to watch my throat. I'm finally getting in to see a Rheumatologist. I'm hoping they can give me more answers as well as your videos.
yep, I had mononucleosis as a child.. and was diagnosed with mixed connective tissue disease last year after losing my Mom 😩 the stress really took a toll.. I'm trying so hard to fight my way back 🙏🏽 thanks as always, Dr. Berg! 💗
I went through a similar issue. When my mom was sick I told the doctors something was wrong they blew it off as depression. A month before she passed I was hit with early menopause and hashimotes. It took six years to get that diagnosis. stress certainly makes it worse.
@@rimshashaheen1529 Plaquenil, baclofen for pain, Prednisone for inflammation. Clean your diet, fast, yoga and exercise. It takes a while to go in remission but it is possible with discipline and patience. You will get better.

My mom came down with Hashimoto's in her 40s. I came down with Hashimoto's thyroid in my 40s!! Since allopathic medicine wasn't cutting it, I researched it on a holistic level. I found out an allergy to wheat was triggering it. After going wheat free, in two weeks all symptoms went into remission. In 6 weeks, I had lost a total of 7 lbs with doing nothing. Sometimes autoimmune is related to a food allergy.
Standard Process’s “Cardio Plus” gave my mother an extra 10 years of life on this planet. She had cardiomyopathy (deteriorating heart muscle). Before Cardio Plus? Her LVEF (left ventricle ejection fraction) was down to 25%. Normal is around 50. After several months on the nutritional? Mom’s LVEF was normal. Her cardiologist was shocked…and disbelieved that nutrition had anything to do with this. However? My mother lived another ten years (to age 90). Thanks to her chiropractor, who recommends and offers Standard Process products. All Glory to God (with gratitude to His faithful Christian biochemist, Dr. Royal Lee, founder and developer of Standard Process.)
I was hit with something a year ago. Dr still clueless because they want to pass me around and make me suffer before I can see the right kind of doc. I’m slowly fixing whatever is myself. So thank you!
Same here. Lost my job couldn't walk agonizing pain. One doctor after another and then I finally started fixing it myself after finding out how worthless doctors really are. Kept passing me around test after test and nothing...
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's when I was 10 years old. This is the same time that my migraines started. I wasn't kissing anyone yet so something else must have triggered my disease. I do thank you for helping people get well. I have started drinking celery juice like you have advised. I also eat brazil nuts for the selenium. You are my favorite doctor to watch. I do not trust most doctors after what we all just went through.
You can get it from your parents by birth or if you share the same glass with a friend (saliva). Remember 90% have it so...chances are high you got it from someone
Very good advice. Keto, fasting, walking, and vitamin D are very helpful for reducing inflammation, in my own experience. It’s good to get out in the sun for an hour a day, but in the winter time we need the vitamin D capsules or pills because we don’t get much direct sun in New England, since the days are shorter. If I go off keto and start eating carbs again, the inflammation comes back. That proves to me that carbs contribute to inflammation. Stress is a major factor. Deep breathing, prayer, and meditation are helpful to reduce stress. I put my faith in God and ask Him to handle it. And I avoid hatred and resentment and think of ways I can help my family and my fellow man. That helps protect the mind from negativity. Thank you, Dr. Berg. Been following you for years. You helped me lose a lot of excess weight, improve my vision, get rid of arthritis pain, and have a happier outlook and less stress through keto. And by the way, a certain thing that everybody is getting these days contributes to the reactivation of viruses. It has been proven in peer- reviewed studies. It’s something we can’t talk about, especially doctors. I know because I’m a nurse. And I had mono too, when I was in college.
My pastor preaches that its good to keep “toxic” people at a distance. If they are gaslighting you, or they are negative toward you, keep a good space between you and them when you have to be around them. Remember, how someone treats you is not a reflection of you it is a reflection of them. You can’t control what they do, you can only control how you react to it. Is it worth reacting? You know you want to, but when you remember what it does to you is it worth it?
Actually on the CDC website they state that covid boosters can trigger a flare up of many different autoimmune diseases. My flare lasted two weeks. Worse symptoms daily for a week, at which point I realized the symptoms started after a doctor's appointment. Did a quick Google search and voila. Also got a pneumonia shot that day which might have contributed.
U must add k2 with the d3 and any calcium supplements otherwise it looks up wherever it can in the body and causes blocked arteries and bone spurs and many more painful problems…k2 directs the calcium and d3 to the correct place in the body..,also boron supplements help tremendously with helping the digestive track balance out
I was told I had high antibodies to EBV in my 20's when I had a strep infection I couldn't beat. Months of different antibiotics, to end up with CFIDS. Second son (of 5) was born with Strep B (through birth canal) and he was hospitalized for it at one week old. I got better. Fast forward to age 56. Horrible pain in my hands. Doctor said I looked like RA & other autoimmune issues. Tested and they said I was sero- negative RA. It does not run in my family! Rejected the Pharma suggested stuff my Rheumatologist wanted me to do & left. Did a few steroids, Switched up my diet and exercise with supplements and I went into remission and my bloodwork was fantastic for several years! Fast forward to now. I just turned 63 and am in agony again. Still living a healthy lifestyle. No sugar, correct supplements, intermittent fasting and exercise. I'm at a loss. Went from 152lbs to 120lbs (thank you Dr Berg) but can't seem to knock this out! Was also diagnosed with over active thyroid in my 40's. I kicked that after a year of meds! No problems since, never relapsed or swung to underactive! What the heck? I take D, Zinc and everything recommended. Gotta kick this swelling & pain!
Remarkable. Your vids on autoimmune diseases are so full of information one would not get anywhere else. In fact being so common this disease is very little talked about. The reasons you mention for the underlying causes are all hundred percent accurate Priceless. Thank you Dr Berg.
I have a genetic condition, EDS, plus numerous overlapping autoimmune conditions. No way can I afford all of the natural medicines he recommends. Great advice, but my guess is, most people can't, either. Also, and I've said this before, one would absolutely need a practitioner to advise them. What to take when, how much, how often, what's compatible with what, etc. It's overwhelming information, especially managing it on one's own.

@alicetlhone4034 I was just diagnosed last month with sarcoidosis, lymph & lung involvement. Have you had any improvement since your diagnosis, & do you have any recommendation for treatment?
Though I don't have an auto immune disease, yet I think following a healthy life style in general would save us from too many health probs, I personally been on keto for almost 2 years now, and I have as well at least 3 cups of herbal teas with added turmeric to them every day, and though I'm in my 40s now, I've hardly suffered from any illness that my other family members had when they were at my age: like diabetes, arthritis and other illnesses that tend to start around this age. Thanks Dr Berg 🌸
Curcumina is good stuff, it's one of the few herbal supplements that work for me. At first I didn't realize how well it worked so I stopped it for a month and my joint pain returned. I take in conjunction with Omega 3 oil or when I eat tuna, eggs or sardines.
@@farmerjohn6526 Actually different things: Vitamin D , C and Zinc, garlic tablets, and a mix of fenugreek & turmeric drink ( it would bring my temperature down so quick).
@@BasedInBrazil It needs some time to work, and add black or red pepper to it, though I didn't have a serious joint prob, few years ago: I had a sudden constant pain in my ankle, but luckily it wasn't long before I found Dr Berg's channel, and I started to follow keto & his health advices.
I just cry inside every day that I lost my life to Hashimoto's just bc the shock of what our employers did..I lost my chance to have kids so stayed single and I have had no parents since 17..my fight or flight keeps me chained and I cant lose weight 😭
Would love to find more info on PMGs acting as a decoy. It was my understanding that they were useless with autoimmunity because the glandular given *and* own tissue would be attacked and it’d be useless. Good resource to see that it works as decoy?
@@Draziell because your gut is constantly evolving based on the variety of your diet, when you cut out entire food groups your gut adjusts and repopulates for only that specific food. That means when you decide to reintroduce certain foods you have an even bigger problem. Just eating meat is a very bad idea if you care about health and longevity
My son caught Mono (EBV) at age 11, not from kissing anyone but being in the same room (like a gym) with an adult that was symptomatic. There were at least 15 others in the same gym at the time, he was the only one that came down with it, and I believe that having had his appendix removed a year earlier was the difference. I didn't catch it, neither his younger sister, even though we were exposed to both that adult in the gym,and my son who suffered for more that three weeks before recovery. I always made a point and explained to my children why we never share eating utensils, water bottles, etc. so we could avoid this virus ,in the end the pediatrician told me that my son caught it like one catches a cold/flu.😔 What is even more frustrating is that doctors ( especially ER doctors) are not knowledgeable, and properly trained to diagnose symptoms related to mono.
I tried your keto diet, lost weight, and felt so much better despite having to go to the hospital for an enema for a plugged bowel. "Am I on the keto diet?" inquired the hospital doctor first. I said yes, and he said it could be a side effect of the diet. The discomfort of not having a bowl movement for 5 or 6 days was worse than when I broke my upper arm falling off a house roof years before.
yes because it affect the lymp system blood toxemia and liver its easy to fix with breaking gallstones and boosting bile plus using herbs to get even up to 6 bowel movements solid per day
I have Crohn's disease and am currently on infliximab/remicade via IV every 8 weeks. It works fairly well for me and probably has kept me mostly in remission. The ongoing symptoms I usually have I suspect are from diet/lifestyle. Will try to give this a shot
Lichen Planus. I already have problems with anxiety and depression. My cat disappeared this May and in June the symptoms started without me knowing it. I've had shingles and this is worse. Should resolve itself in 2 to 3 yrs. I have bumps in every area of my body (I'm not covered completely) but the bumps are hard and itch. Some of the bumps are blisters so when you scratch without thinking you come away with bloody fingers. My butt, back arms crotch toes fingers oh boy. I was thinking of OMAD/keto diet (I need to lose weight too). Dang getting old is hard.
Truth. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2019. The doctor put me on Methimazole. It took two months for the medicine to kick in. I turned 50, felt great and two months later I could barely walk. I had heart palpatations, dizziness, shortness of breath, leg tremors, insomnia and extreme anxiety and depression. I am currently taking vitamins with selenium which helps with my thyroid. I am currently in remission and pray that things stay that way.
This is a super great informative video but one thing I have a question about that nobody is addressing, is when you talk about fasting for 48 hours there's hypoglycemics and diabetic people who cannot do that so what is the alternative?
My wife developed both RA and Hashimotos (spelling) disease shortly after taking a Typhoid Fever vaccine. We were going on a trip to Peru early 2020 and it was a recommended vaccine. I was perfectly fine. Her blood inflammation factor has been getting worse every 6 months taking a prescription med (I don't know the name). I came across Quercitin information so I bought some for her to try. She was only on it for about 2 months by her next blood test and her inflammation factor dropped massively into the remission range. Adding Quercitin is the only thing she changed. She's now upping the Quercitin and lowering the prescription med on her own. We'll see how her next blood work looks.
Interesting- Quercetin is a Zinc Ionophore and has been recommended for the last couple of years combined with Zinc as a way to stop viral replication in the cells. Makes sense why it would help!
@@richellesmith8939 It's called a vectra test. The highest my wife hit was 38 which is pretty bad. You want to be 1 to 29. She gets the test every 6 months. About 2 months before her last test she started Quercitin. Her new Vectra score was just 21. She's getting it done next month again. She upped the Quercitin and lowered her prescription meds after the last test. We're curious to see what it is now.
That's so crazy! I just ordered Standard Process PMGs; brain, pancreas, lungs, thyroid, and heary. I started out just looking for some of the products that my naturopathic doctor used to put me on, years ago, when I could afford him. I had forgotten about several of those products by Standard Process. I was just reading about each product, after looking for something to give me some iron and a product with iodine. I found that there were other PMGs, all kinds, with different organs which were said to actually benefit the matching human organs. I already knew that we should be eating much more organ meat than we do, and that most of us don't eat any. I was surprised to find, many years ago, that most of the Standard Process products that my doctor put me on, contain organ meats. That's how I realize how much phasing out organ meats from the standard American diet has harmed our health. Back when I was a kid, my mother served the most delicious liver and onions for dinner, a couple of times a month. As I grew to an adult and began shopping and cooking for myself, I could never find any decent liver. My mom could always find it easily, but years later, anytime I tried to buy it and make it, it was just too gross for me to eat. After all that I've learned about what Big Industry does to meat and dairy, I really have a hard time buying it and eating it. I know that so many Ph@rm@ceutic@ls and diseases go through those animals' livers, I really don't think I need more of that in my system. Blech! Remember in the '80s, Susan Powter, the "STOP THE INSANITY!"..woman? I think she had some exercise videos but she also lectured and taught a lot on nutrition. She had the bleach blonde buzz haircut, kind of a zany gal, but she wrote a book called "FOOD!"...and boy!... she really, really did her research and knows what she's talking about! If you can find an old copy, maybe at your library, I highly recommend reading it!
You're right about the organ meat. My mum had to eat liver because she suffered Anemia often. I was with a friend lately and he started baking liver. I ran outside and emptied my stomach... I'm 67 now and that childhood experiences never left me...I can't stand the smell of liver although rationally know it's good ..
Are you talking about Susan “fat makes you fat” Powter? She advocated eating a fat-free, high carbohydrate diet! Sorry, but I still remember her insane formula for getting healthier and losing weight. She’s a hard NO for me
I've been aware that it is EBV and it's sad that doctors don't know this. Ive had to be my own doctor and that is really hard.I had acute EBV 5 years ago at the age of 43 and after the acute phase I was left with achy joints, muscles, chronic fatigue, anxiety, constipation, bloating, weight gain, hair loss, brain fog, liver still feels swollen, gall bladder doesn't feel right, dehydrated, frequent urination, dry skin and hair. I've tried more supplements than I can mention, I fast, I eat healthy, meditate, and exercise 6 days a week and still feel like shit.
yes i get it. 30 years later after knowing had EBV in 20s. in 30s turned to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. we have ate exceptionally well 30 years now. exercise and take many, many suppliments. we do everything right we can but it still ruins nearly every day for me now, Either fatigue is awful or pain all over or both plus the various things fibro involves, sucks huh?.
I've been chronically ill for 10 years. Bedridden for about 2 of those years. Arthritis, goiter, obesity, depression, anxiety ,type 2 diabetes,the list goes on and on. The best I've felt was a change in diet but I fall off the wagon easy. It's a wicked cycle. Thank you for your awesome videos. God bless you abundantly.
Maybe you can put your energy into your fasting ,by increasing the length of your fasting even it's a 1/2hr. at a time. You'll gain so many benefits .Hope this helps.
meaning you are constipated you got acidic body parathyroid problems adrenal and autonomic problems adrenals or pituitary problems insuline resistance mucus lymp blocked on pacreas and a lot of fungi and low immunity that cause a lot of cravings all those are fixable man but its harder to convince someone that to reverse the problem
I need more of this. I have severe psoriasis for more than 20 years now and unfortunately my son at 11 has sever psoriasis as well. We are both under biologics. Thank you so much for your effort. Hope you make more of auto immune disease videos. 🙏🙏👏👏❤️❤️
Hello. Sorry to hear that. Please see Dr. Berg's videos here about psoriasis: ua-cam.com/users/DrEricBergDCsearch?query=psoriasis -Dr. Berg's Support Team
I see huge improvement in my psoriasis with Zinc, Vit D3+Vit K2, Omega 3. Tried stopping grains and diary but it's too hard for me. Instead I reduced them significantly and do OMAD
Hi Dr Berg, can you help with the science behind why some doctors tell you not to eat red meat if you have lupus, and how the keto diet would be sustainable without red meat or dairy? Dr. simms says women over 30 should not be doing aerobic exercises due to the physiology and hormones of the female body, but if you have lupus as a woman should you set aside high intensity workouts???
Respected sir, I am suffering from hypothyroidism, also an autoimmune disease. I am obese weighing 200 lbs. By doing IF, from 25th June this year. In two and half months, I reduced 16lbs. Feasting window is now only 4 hours. Feeling relaxed, more energetic, more young and I am just enjoying it. Dr. Berg great videos, as I consider you a motivational speaker. Keep doing this practice to serve humanity. Regards
In another video you talk about everyone needing eggs. Doesn’t eggs feed Epstein Barr? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this as I was diagnosed with MS a few years ago. I’ve gone back and forth on whether or not eggs are the best thing for me.
I’d really like to know this too. I was avoiding eggs following medical medium advice but then just started eating them after watching one of Dr Bergs videos. So confusing!!
Hi Dr. Berg! I watch your videos quite often and you often say to take 40,000 iu of Vitamin D3 but you don't say if that is everyday or is it weekly? I have 3 autoimmune diseases and really need to be sure. Thank you!
I tested negative for EBV and also had very high vit D 125 at time of autoimmune diagnosis. I do agree overwhelming stress was a contributing factor though. Lots of speculation about root cause of autoimmune disorders. Some of the theories fit some patients some of the time...
I would love to see some information on congenital adrenal hyperplasia. I was recently diagnosed with this, and I’m having difficulty finding information about how to handle it more holistically. From what I can understand, it’s a gene disorder that produces excess cortisol. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
Dr Berg. For years my now teenage son was diagnosed with asthma. But 2 years ago we were told that it's never been asthma but an incurable disease called surfactant Deficiency. It affects his lungs and breathing. I have been watching your channel for years for myself and even used a few of your products, but now I'm watching your channel for my son as well. He's presently 15 years old. Please provide me with some advice. Is there any of your videos that I could watch to possibly assist? He's on steroids, hydrochloroquin and azithromycin. He was told that these would be taken for the rest of his life. I'm not a huge fan of medication that's not natural. Any of your advice will be greatly appreciated.
This has helped me and it’s all natural…take a grapefruit and two lemons…take the skins and boil them for three hours in distilled water …about a half gallon…let it cool and remove the skins…have him take a half a shot glass full once every morning and see if it helps him with his breathing…it’s helped me immensely
Hello Azithromycin all his life is going to kill all the good bacteria in his stomach. And also make him immune to antibiotics. Maybe you should try giving him natural yoghurt too. Also for his chest ailment give him black tea preferably Dilmah's (Srilankan Tea) with a pinch of freshly grated ginger and about 2 pinches of salt. He should drink it hot. It helps with breathing. All the best
Hi doctor BergI have been following you for quite a while I have limited at Scleridermer so I was wondering if you ever get a chance to kindly do a small video on ways to combat limited scleriderma . If have the disease to my hands and fingers thank you very much keep up the good work doctor.. I love your videos.
Very informative, thank you. I was diagnosed with Achalasia a year after my mother died. My symptoms started right after my mum passed away. I agree stress in my case grief, working long hours along with Vit D deficiency seems to ring true.. as you described. I have had treatment in the form of surgery but always keen to do what I can to help...reducing stress has been my top focus but most of your suggestions I'm also keen to try.
Hello. Sorry to hear about your loss. Sharing some videos that can help you manage your stress: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=manage%20stress -Dr. Berg's Support Team
I've noticed (anecdotally) that persons around who took the 'intervention' are absolutely besieged by arthritis, in some cases, absolutely out of the blue. That pregnancy thing is interesting. In my third pregnancy my seborrheic dermatitis went into remission, but came back within a few weeks of delivery. My own family are beset with autoimmune in general, usually with onset during childhood eg ... excema, athsma and ankylosing spondylitis.
Hello Dr. Berg I'm a new follower and I can't thank you enough for your knowledge to help all of us! I am trying Keto, and I feel such a difference since I am fasting. It's amazing how much energy I have and overall feeling great. Last year I had stage 1 breast cancer. It is not in our family, however, I truly believe it was brought on by stress. I was losing my house to Foreclosure. Very stressed time to save my house.. then my mother became very ill. 8 months before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I had been feeling very sluggish and developed Rosacea acne. Can anyone tell me were these symptoms of Auto Immune Disease, and symptoms of the cancer? Thank you.
Get Dr. Jason Fung's book The Cancer Code. He is also on You tube if you want to listen to some of his videos first. He saved my friend's life...and so many others.
What if you have multiple autoimmune issues? I am Type 1 diabetic, celiac and dealing with pulmonary sarcoidosis. Because of the sarcoid, I can't take Vit D because it causes my hypercalcemia, even with Vit K
I LOVE this topic!! I've struggled with several Autoimmune Conditions for years and could not get a diagnosis or treatment plan with conventional western medicine. Finally, a friend sent me to a GREAT Functional Medicine Physician (FMP.) And together we have me in remission - or as my FMF says" stabilized." I did everything; changed my diet and lifestyle, improved my sleep hygiene, started thyroid hormones, healed my Leaky Gut, started taking the supplements my blood labs said I need, used high doses of Vitamin C and used Medical Grade Ozone, And yes, I was told I had EB when in High school. The mold exposure in 2008-2013 brought my Autoimmune Hashimoto's back with a VENGENCE. Luckily I know what to do and I put my Hashi back into the mission again.
… I wish you did a video about Iron deficiency below the range (7 on a scale starting from 20 plus) and Vitamin B12 deficiency ( Also below the range). What can cause both at the same time? (I am not vegan, nor vegetarian). Currently on Iron tablets (taken with orange juice) and Vitamin B12 injections (added probiotics to be able to absorb better). …
Hey I’m not sure which Dr has the video but it’s either gonna be Dr Eric Berg of course and or Dr Ken Berry … he is another dr on UA-cam who is wonderful and he is much like Dr Berg .. I’m sure if you went to their UA-cam channel and search the contents you would find it …
The target is the blood level of 50 ng/ml D3 blood level. The range of the most 50 ng/ml-100 ng/ml for glutathione production by transcription glutamyl-cysteine ligase and glutathione reductase. At 50 ng/ml tumor necrosis factor alpha a key rheumatoid factor is repressed. Its the blood level not the dose. Cysteine is needed through NAC and cysteine to make glutathione as cysteine is limited.
I am male and have lupus- APS & ITP and had an injury last November and have been in a flare ever since. Mostly joint pain that jumps around from wrists to shoulders to knees. When the next area is affected, the previous area goes back to normal like nothing was ever wrong. Am in college and it adds another layer of stress to everything…
I was diagnosed with Lupus months after my sons death seven years ago. I wish this crap would go away smh I’ve had an heart attack and stroke and I’m only 43 smh Lupus is hell!
Exactly what happened to me I suffered the loss of my mom 10-10-10 and then a divorce 2-11-11 and I developed Fibromyalgia. A perfect storm of enormous grief. The next two years was spent going to doctors after doctors trying to diagnose me. I still suffer from flare ups occasionally but I am taking the vitamins that Dr Berg recommends. This video is absolutely invaluable!
Bless your heart. Hopefully one day, Dr Berg can put a new video content up in regards to the effects of enormous grief in relation to the mind and body.
@@macabree5856 thank you that was so kind. I believe stress: grief, anger, depression etc is a cause of so many illnesses. His videos are so relevant to every humanbeing.
This is happening to me right now. Lost my Mom at the start of Covid, then my mentor/boss/friend a year later when her breast cancer returned and took her away from us. I’ve been trying to deal with growing autoimmune issues, depression and awful anxiety trying to juggle a job, my family and graduate school courses. I’m out here to find out what I can do to get out of this cycle.
I have fibromyalgia and chronic migraines that are debilitating. Dr. Berg is part of my personal arsenal, he helps me more than my rheumatologist… seriously 😳 Dr. B you’re a true one!
Brexit resulted job loss, relocation, MBA, coupled with narcissistic relationship put a toll on my emotional and stress level. I was diagnosed with rare skin autoimmune disease called Pemphigus Vulgaris within that few months. I am still treating after 6 years. I want it completely put into remission
The great Medical Medium Anthony Williams who has written about this in his books for many many years has changed so many lives teaching them how to rid their bodies of EBV. For any sufferers I would highly recommend ❤
Doc - my body has been getting used to 10k per day of D. If I'm doing 40k per day, is that during a time of "physical stress" or long term? Is there a daily amount of K2 you recommend alongside it?
I'm having a Crohn's Disease flare up right now and have level 4 thrombosed hemorrhoids. Trying to heal the ulcers with cabbage juice, zinc carnosine, carnivore diet and IF, and taking Collinsonia for the roids. I have chronic migraines too.
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s a few months after the loss of my son. I do believe grief has a physical toll as well as emotional.
I am praying for You Michelle
I just sent this video to my sister who lost her son last year. Grief is so devastating. There are no words. I lost my son the year before. We are firm believers in finding natural ways to heal our bodies, minds and souls. You are not alone! Michelle, I pray that Jesus carries you through this valley of sorrow. I know like my sister and I, you are forever changed. Keep going. Keep pressing. Sending you love and prayers
Sorry for the loss of your son, may he rest in peace. 🙏
I am so sorry to hear of the loss.of your son. And you're absolutely right. Grief will also cause adrenal disfunction in many cases, which has a ton of horrible symptoms. Grief & stress has been scientifically proven to take a horrible toll on one's body.
@Loves Dogs Yes, I can't even estimate how many Near Death Experience videos I've watched on youtube over the years. They've helped me tremendously regarding the loss of loved ones, & even my own fear of death. God, who is literally love & light, & an eternal life of ecstasy in His presence is truly real, I believe.
I totally believe this! Grief and shock - be it a relationship breakdown, terrible job stress or bereavement.
I went into remission with Ankylosing Spondylitis after 2 years on Humira. I am now off all meds. I reduced stress and eating better, cut my work hours and am in NO pain anywhere. The rheumatologist said I am in remission and I can be on monitor status! Yeah
I developed AS almost two years ago (26y/o, sporty, healthy). What did you do to put AS into remission? Im hopeless
@@kitesn I hope you get an answer since I am interested as well.
Diagnosed with RA end of 2016. Refused to become a prisoner to pills. Changed my diet and went on Keto. RA no longer exists.
Lowered stress and lower carbs and sugar
@@Momtocam1997 RA is different to AS. Humira or biologics slow down fusion etc of the spine, ribs, neck and other things. And as this person said, it can put AS into remission. Diet can certainly help people. For some, biologics is the only thing to help. I have AS.
Everything said has put me in remission from R/A. Stress is a killer. More great advice from Dr. Berg.
Yes my HS gets triggered with stress . Fasting and swimming helping me cope
How long did you deal with RA before it went into remission?
@@tinobygrace1 about 1 1/2 years. I'm about 2 years in remission. I started taking 10,000 iu of D and cod liver oil. I also take 100 mg magnesium every day, i may up that. Within a week swelling in my legs went down and i was walking much better. Now i walk 2 miles a day and bike. I didn't know i had R/A until i went for a knee operation (miniscus). After the operation the surgeon told me he tested me for R/A and it was off the charts. I don't eat bacon or any pork processed meats, it causes swelling in my ankles. Look up the other videos by Dr. Berg on autoimmune diseases, they helped me see the light and will help you.
For me stress is the trigger and bad foods
This is why I am retiring. I do not want to be made ill by stress on my job. It's time...been there over 30 years.
I got hypothyroidism /hashimoto exactly when I lost my husband to heart attack (he was running marathons/was fit, he was 51), I was 50. So, yes, grief is a huge factor. With special nutrition, exercise, staying away from stress, rigorous discipline - I am keeping it under control. Thank you for these videos, they are helpful to know the reasons and how it all connects.
My husband was 41 and very, very fit when he suddenly died. I went into menopause within 2 weeks.
@@i.ehrenfest349 wow, so sorry to hear, this is so young and so sad
.. we humans are so fragile.. whoever created us did a very bad job... was it heart attack? With one condition, if we do not manage it, often other autoimmune diseases occur.
@@jelena1970 It was very probably Marfan’s disease. It’s a genetic thing and often the first symptom is sudden death.
I have a friend whose husband was diagnosed with cancer. Turned out he didn’t have it, but she went through such grief that her thyroid went bust. She’s now on thyroid hormone permanently.
Personal notes:
1. Lower stress
Also B1, K+ Mg++, D 40k, Zinc 50mg, Aerobic exercise (long walks or biking)
also B6
2. Before handling dysbiosis, handle leaky gut
3. Fast 48 hours every 2 weeks, also do OMAD/16/18/20 hour fasts daily
4. Lower inflammation through Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D and Keto
5. Optional, PMGs
extra stuff
lectin
breathwork/deep breathing for stress
grounding "sunshine camp"
Thank you ❤
Do you take 40k of vit D daily ?
40 k vit daily?
@@Listah Thank you guys for liking and replying to my comment, I was making it purely personal and hidden but didn't expect it would help others too lol
No, in fear of toxicity I stick to just 10k IUs for now, I want to bring my Vit D levels back to great then get my maintenance dose from sunlight whenever possible, not to mention sometimes where you live there are doctors or public health practicioners that understand and administer tens of thousands of IUs on a personalized plan with supervision and checkups, I see they sometimes administer 50k weekly and not daily, so I'd say research and consultation is important here, especially before taking a potentially toxic amount of Vitamin D3 which is fat-based (A,D,E,K), but you are the final decision maker in the end

I just want to thank you Dr Berg and say for the viewers to heed this advice, it really works! I started the "KETO" diet in late January, 2022. 6 weeks in and no noticeable change, I was becoming discouraged and then one of your videos suggested that you sometimes have to get a life more aggressive than a 12-16 hour fast to initiate Ketosis for some metabolisms and perhaps an initial 24+ hour fast might be needed to kick start the process. About mid-March I initiated a little more than 34 hours. Remarkably if you time going to sleep where the hunger pangs come and go while in REM, you wakeup with a relatively easy stretch to your target end of fast. Those "hunger" cravings oddly disappeared around the 18-20 hour mark! Anyway I kicked into Ketosis and I normally go 16-18 hours before ending my fast and I now have about a 1/3 the former appetite, if that and I seldom eat more than a 2nd meal and never eat anything after 6 hours of my initial breaking the fast. In less than 6mos I lost 52 pounds! The added and quite unexpected benefit is I have a much healthier immune system confirmed by my personal physician! Thank you Dr Berg!
I have Lyme disease and it seems like none of the doctors that I have seen even k ow what yo do for me. It's changed my whole body so much. An has affected my memory also. I follow alot of ur stuff. And u are a life saver dr berg. Thank you.
I just came across real food rebel and she delt with Lyme as well and healed. Might be worth looking at her website (she's not on UA-cam)
OZONE THERAPY Will CURE The DISEASE
i would see a lyme literate doctor, preferably a Rheumatologist
In most cases, autoimmune diseases are caused by parasites. I think Dr's do not intentionally test their patients for parasites because they want return customers. I grew up in Africa and it is highly recommended to deworm every six months that's why Africans very rarely have allergies, lactose intolerance and autoimmune diseases.
How did you deworm? I agree, I had parasites and ended up getting diagnosed with Uc
My friends were missionaries in Africa they said they took a Sunday pill that was an anti-parasitic. They took it every Sunday. Other countries are more progressive about parasites.
What did you use in Africa to deworm? I have been parasite cleansing for years...🙏🏻
Grew up in Mexico we did it every 6 months as well. I’ve always wondered why we don’t here!
Maybe ivermectin? @@CaitCanCoach
I'm so glad Dr. Berg is sharing the link between STRESS and EBV! 👏👏 I had a problem w/ EBV reactivation 7 years ago and got stuck in this cycle of "needing" antiviral herbs frequently to control it. Then I realized that the root cause was stress! I shifted my focus to taking adaptogens and nervines (herbs that help you cope with stress), took up a hobby (painting), and got some stuff off my plate and I haven't had a reactivation since!
What adaptogens and nervines did you take?
@@yve5659 my answer likely wouldn't help you much, because such things need to be individualized. Rather than sharing what I took, I will find a helpful episode from my podcast and post it below 😀
Did u take ashwaganda
Syphilis is lyme disease is lupus is rheumatoid arthritis renamed. Its caused by parasite. Thats why doctors never test these patients with uv green light test because all would test positive for syphilis.
@@rosek8393 it was long ago enough and I change up my herbs enough that I'm honestly not sure 😂 As I said though, there is no single herb for everybody here. You're better off learning a bit about these herbs and selecting the herb(s) that fit your individual case the best. Hopefully the link above will help you too!
I have had multiple sclerosis since 2011 when I was a complete vegetable for lack of a better word and could not talk, walk, see, feed myself bath myself anything. I had over 60 legions in all of the terrible places to get them.
After a long stay in the hospital, then as an in and then out patient at Stan Cassidy rehab Center and yearrrrrrs of being consistent with my plant based nutrition, physical activity, booting ANYTHING that stresses me out in life, power of belief and just trying to maintain a healthy overall, I can say I’ve been in remission for years!
I can’t stress enough not to wait until you regret neglecting your health to take care of it. The blessing here is that I was 100% abusing my body when MS happened and if it didn’t, I’d probably be dead today.
It was so hard but it’s really made me a way better person. Anyways, take care of yourself.

My poor mom is almost 92. She has suffered for 21 years with RA. It started with a bang. Woke up one morning just red and swollen all over. It happened right after my sister died of a horrendous type of cancer. It was a terrible time for the whole family but of course for a mother to lose a child… I know now the stress is what did it. Both myself and my other 2 sisters developed autoimmune diseases within 3 years of losing our sister. We had all been extremely healthy our whole lives. Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles living til late 80s and 90s. We never worried about health at all. Stress is really a factor and will do you in! Thanking God Almighty for Dr. Berg. He has already changed my life. Follow his recommendations folks, you will get better.
Yes, mine began after the tragic suicide of my grandfather. I also had a child just then. RA is the greatest challenge I have ever faced, May we be healed !

Dear Dr. Berg, the only purpose of this comment is to say "thank you" for what you're doing. I'm genuinely impressed by how much of useful information you were able to put out there, while making it as accessible and practical as possible. I was lucky enough to come to similar dietary guidelines for myself even before the infamous UA-cam algorithm sent you my way, but I don't hesitate to recommend your channel whenever I see people struggling with improving their health and maintaining it on a decent level. It takes a lot of courage, energy and faith to search for truth the way you do, and I truly admire you for that. thanks again, please keep doing what you are doing, and God bless you and your family 🙏
I have been diagnosed with Thrombocytopenia. Platelets levels have been up and down like a roller coaster throughout the years. Doctors can’t/won’t tell me what’s causing it, I would love for you to make a video about what nutritional factors could be at play with this particular condition. Thank you for all the informative videos and the concise, soothing, and efficient way in which you deliver the content. Much love from New York!
I was diagnosed with autoimmune disease and the consultant was sure I had lupus about 15 years ago are used to go for checks every three months but after 2 years I checked myself out because I didn’t feel like it was doing anything and I kept feeling I was wasting my time. I also had terrible stomach issues which I was also getting checks for and I didn’t really connect the two at the time. I was probably pretty stressed as well as I had just moved to London, I also had terrible relationship patterns I couldn’t regulate emotions at all and every breakup would devastate me like a divorce even if it was only a few dates. I remember getting some absolutely awful advice from a doctor about eating white bread and cutting down on fibre which made me really start to think these people know nothing. I had not eaten bread for a long long time already and was into health. After this I decided to take it into my own hands there were times When I would be absolutely fine one day and then in bed for two days my whole body is to feel weak like I had the flu. I went raw vegan, Took probiotics and did a parasite cleanse and I have to say what must be about 15 years later I’m definitely way better than I was I’m not saying I don’t still get a little bit tired sometimes and I’m going to watch this video to see if there’s anything additional I can be doing. Full spectrum amino acids also seem to have helped me. But I’ve never had to take any medication and I’ve had a pretty normal life and I put it down to diet and lifestyle changes. I also became very spiritual meditated did yoga a lot, worked so much on my mental health etc and I a, sure that contributed to helping. I’ve never had to take steroids just one injection at the beginning then I checked myself out and self treated. I always intuitively knew not to go that route.
I do exercise a lot but then I did even when it was at its worst the only thing I was borderline deficient with vitamin d. But on the most part I’m quite impressed at reading this I intuitively made a lot of similar changes to what this guy has said. The only thing I’ve not really been able to manage is fasting I keep trying. I guess I eat carbohydrates because I eat fruits and vegetables but I don’t eat any grains or wheat rly cetera for about 15 years because I’ve always known they make things worse you can kind of feel it the same with too many things from the nightshade family. I’ve not eaten processed cane sugar for about 20 years either
Congrats on taking responsibility for your own life/Health.
It is amazing what you hear when you listen to the doctor inside yourself.
Intuition can be a finely honed attribute we all have...but not all use it and listen to that still, small voice from within. Good things can happen for all who do...who follow their "inner knower".
Doctor I want to say that you are doing a fabulous job with these sessions, in fact it is a noble act. I am globally many are benefitting with the valuable information you share through these videos. I can speak for myself, I live in India and have been diagnosed with some of these auto immune conditions and your thorough analysis is so helpful. A heartfelt gratitude!!
I am going to really take this in, I have MS and I had Mononucleosis in middle school. Listening!!!
PLEASE go listen to Dr. Ken Berry speak about the Carnivore diet. He is a Nutrition expert and his whole family is Carnivore (including the two babies!). I've been on it for 6 months and it has healed me of several major health problems! THIS IS A MIRACLE DIET and I've seen comments from people who it has helped greatly with MS! I will NEVER go off this miracle diet!!!
I had Mono when I was in my early twenties and I was down for month! It almost feels like it comes back when I get run down. Work a lot, or not sleep well and I get sick.
Did you end up going this route? How did you fare?
I came across a lady named Pam Bartha Live disease free her on YT she put her MS in remission my doing a medicated parasite cleanse. She has a lot of info on it.
I had many of the situations you mentioned in this video. I got my major stomach issue 2 years ago after the passing of my mother. I also at the time had an EXTREMELY stressful job with a narcissistic boss that would cause multiple arguments a week. Lastly I sat right next to a microwave that was used for the work forces breaks. I quit 1 year ago. Walk every night before bed. Eat much healthier and FINALLY after about 2.5 years I am feeling better. Thanks for all of your videos!
The narc would do it..
I congratulate you on being aware of the toxic situation, and having the courage to change.
I had the worst boss when I was a teacher. I honestly can admit I got married and then pregnant to get away from that bastard. Haven't worked in over 30 years lmao
Quercetin is a zinc polyphore which helps it to be absorbed into the cells where it needs to be, so taking quercetin with zinc will work much better than zinc alone.
100% you are spot on and everyone needs to know this especially in light of the recent experiment that was played on a lot of the civilized world.
O M F G What a god send video. I also had terrible day after i took probiotics was tired, brain fog, etc. I am also on ketogenic diet 1 week and feel already better i thought that there are no ways i can get into remission but now thanks to this video and you Dr. i belive in it more than ever.
With the PMGs I think what's occurring is horizontal gene transfer, you should do a video about this. It's a large reason you want to avoid GMOs, as your microbiom ingests and assimilates the gene expression from the food you eat, sometimes causing problems (i.e. autoimmune and infertility.)
I brought this up a few years ago (horizontal gene transfer) and was laughed at by multiple "academics". That being said, I'm pretty sure this is a HUGE issue.
I would love to know more about this and the best online available resources to read.
Description ? Please …
@@snowyowl6892 The gist is that what we consume has the ability to effectively change not just our "gene expression" (eg. epigenetics) but can function at the level of genetic inheritance itself. Debates still ensue about what *precisely* causes a mutation in our genes to occur and this line of thinking re: food, the microbiome and horizontal gene transfer argues for such a mechanism.
Studies on GMOs have suggested that they can also make diseases and viruses resistant to antibiotics and our own immune system. They are genetically modifying our food to be more resistant to things that would attack them, such as disease and pestilence. We eat the food, and bacteria and viruses in us take on those properties by way of horizontal gene transfer, and become more resistant to things that attack them, such as antibiotics and our own immune system. This can lead to more cancers, autoimmune diseases and they fear a super bug that can be resistant to our most powerful antibiotics.
My childhood eccema got triggered a month before my mom's death. She died 2014 and I'm still struggling with it 😢 A month after the pandemic I got diagnosed pre diabetic 🤯I'm fitness trainer and I eat very clean. My life depends on it because I got to look a certain way in order to motivate my clients. Thank you for this video now I can add these tips to my current regiment ❤️
I feel you💜 I was a yoga teacher when my auto immunity started and I don't teach anymore. My joints and muscles ache, fatigued and I have gained 25 pounds even though I eat very well. It sucks.
Carnivore may help. Watch dr Ken berry too.

I contracted EBV from mono when I was around 22 years old. It stayed dormant for 30 years. Then at the age of 52 I was rundown, and I also received a TDap booster. The next day I felt horrible. I felt like I had mono all over again. I am guessing that the TDap booster along with being run down triggered it. The doctor could see that the EBV reactivated again. 30 years later! I was able to put it back into remission with lots of sleep, zinc, lysine and monolaurin. I was already taking plenty of D3/K so I kept that up. I hope the EBV stays dormant!
I've just been diagnosed with Graves Disease. No-one could explain to me why my body has gone crazy. Thank you for solving a mystery for me.
I was diagnosed with this condition while being in a toxic relationship in the middle of it I lost 18 kg.
I asked my Endocrinologist, could it be related to continuous stress ,he immediately denied that. I don't believe him!
Conventional treatment isn't working for me,I refused RAI.

Hey I have an autoimmune blood disorder called ITP. I’ve been struggling for 5 years taking drugs which give me so many other negative side effects. I’m platelet count has been zero for the last 3 weeks and I’m just done with everything . I’m glad I saw your video tonight I’m going to look into all the points u gave mentioned.
Could you do a video on my disorder please?
Many thanks

I have ITP as well. Any updates for you?
Excellent. Most autoimmune patients have low D 25hydroxy. Supplement with D3. In severe autoimmune the Coimbra Protocol with high dose D3 (100,000 to 700000iu D 3 daily) monitored by a doctor can be very helpful. Besides D3 other vitamins/nutrients are helpful. 40,000iu D3 is one mg.
Hashimotos: lugols iodine, selenium, B vitamins.
Fibromyalgia: lugols iodine helpful in relieving muscle pain in 8/10 women.
Most people are not optimized in D or iodine. Since people are afraid of the sun and use sunscreen this lowers your immune system. The iodine level in food is almost nonexistant since farm raised fish has none and is was taken out of bread.
Hi. You are so right
@@magdelinalee2101 nope he is not
i wish we could take that daily i find the high doses really help i do 50,000 iu mostly once every 2 weeks i am riding the high blood range i came off it while back and what ever was wrong with me progressed i developed more symptoms with what ever is wrong with me now i find the vitamin d dose only works half what it use to and i only get a few decent days this past month i took it once every week really worried about my levels now sad a simple vitamin can help so many but we are dose restricted because of toxicity
What about Hyperthyroidism?
Thank you for this. Regarding remission: My grandmother had spontaneous remission of RA. She exercised like an extreme maniac every day (changing her type of exercises) . She also meditated and prayed daily. She did Pilates and yoga. She walked every morning and usually every evening and some times a week did a long daily walk. She spent no less than three to six hours everyday on these activities, often more. It was a full-time job however she her RA went into remission. Her food was normal for her generation. Our food is much much much worse now so we need to take special care with food as well to get to the normal of the previous generation.
I have a friend or someone I used to work with anyway who had severe arthritis as a young person in her early 20s. It was so bad they were actually going to use her wrists together and she pretty much was bedridden. She also had a remission from possibly a dietician that gave her all these green juices and she also swayed by Kineseology even though she wasn’t into that stuff at all before.
@@lunity1111 That’s wonderful that she went into remission, especially from such a severe condition. Those green juices seem amazing. Kineseolgy looks interesting for sure.
Hats off to her dedication . 🙌🙌

Wow! I really appreciate your videos with how informative you are and with putting everything out there for us. I injured my back 10yrs ago but my back pain has been causing daily pain on top of other issues and weakness. My Doctor has ran blood tests and only found low Vit D levels, even with taking 2,000IU daily. I'm not diabetic but had been told by my old church to watch my throat. I'm finally getting in to see a Rheumatologist. I'm hoping they can give me more answers as well as your videos.

yep, I had mononucleosis as a child.. and was diagnosed with mixed connective tissue disease last year after losing my Mom 😩 the stress really took a toll.. I'm trying so hard to fight my way back 🙏🏽 thanks as always, Dr. Berg! 💗
I went through a similar issue. When my mom was sick I told the doctors something was wrong they blew it off as depression. A month before she passed I was hit with early menopause and hashimotes. It took six years to get that diagnosis. stress certainly makes it worse.

My mom came down with Hashimoto's in her 40s. I came down with Hashimoto's thyroid in my 40s!! Since allopathic medicine wasn't cutting it, I researched it on a holistic level. I found out an allergy to wheat was triggering it. After going wheat free, in two weeks all symptoms went into remission. In 6 weeks, I had lost a total of 7 lbs with doing nothing. Sometimes autoimmune is related to a food allergy.
Ugh how did you figure out what was the trigger?! That’s THE harderst part!!
Standard Process’s “Cardio Plus” gave my mother an extra 10 years of life on this planet. She had cardiomyopathy (deteriorating heart muscle). Before Cardio Plus? Her LVEF (left ventricle ejection fraction) was down to 25%. Normal is around 50. After several months on the nutritional? Mom’s LVEF was normal. Her cardiologist was shocked…and disbelieved that nutrition had anything to do with this. However? My mother lived another ten years (to age 90). Thanks to her chiropractor, who recommends and offers Standard Process products. All Glory to God (with gratitude to His faithful Christian biochemist, Dr. Royal Lee, founder and developer of Standard Process.)
I take a lot of standard process. They are awesome
I was hit with something a year ago. Dr still clueless because they want to pass me around and make me suffer before I can see the right kind of doc. I’m slowly fixing whatever is myself. So thank you!
I hope you will make it ! Dr Berg gives great advice on autoimmune diseases! It is really difficult for regular doctors to find anything....
What's going on with you? I'm fighting something. I don't know what it is and I'm at a loss for a doctor
I feel you! Been 3+ years for me
Same here. Lost my job couldn't walk agonizing pain. One doctor after another and then I finally started fixing it myself after finding out how worthless doctors really are. Kept passing me around test after test and nothing...
@@craigbrison4241What did you do?
Dr. Berg, thanks to you and your recommendations I put my Graves' disease in remission.
How did it happen..
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's when I was 10 years old. This is the same time that my migraines started. I wasn't kissing anyone yet so something else must have triggered my disease. I do thank you for helping people get well. I have started drinking celery juice like you have advised. I also eat brazil nuts for the selenium. You are my favorite doctor to watch. I do not trust most doctors after what we all just went through.
You can get it from your parents by birth or if you share the same glass with a friend (saliva). Remember 90% have it so...chances are high you got it from someone
Very good advice. Keto, fasting, walking, and vitamin D are very helpful for reducing inflammation, in my own experience. It’s good to get out in the sun for an hour a day, but in the winter time we need the vitamin D capsules or pills because we don’t get much direct sun in New England, since the days are shorter. If I go off keto and start eating carbs again, the inflammation comes back. That proves to me that carbs contribute to inflammation. Stress is a major factor. Deep breathing, prayer, and meditation are helpful to reduce stress. I put my faith in God and ask Him to handle it. And I avoid hatred and resentment and think of ways I can help my family and my fellow man. That helps protect the mind from negativity.
Thank you, Dr. Berg. Been following you for years. You helped me lose a lot of excess weight, improve my vision, get rid of arthritis pain, and have a happier outlook and less stress through keto.
And by the way, a certain thing that everybody is getting these days contributes to the reactivation of viruses. It has been proven in peer- reviewed studies. It’s something we can’t talk about, especially doctors. I know because I’m a nurse. And I had mono too, when I was in college.
How do you handle negative people and gaslighters in your life? They are such stress factors in many of our otherwise rather mundane lives ;)
My pastor preaches that its good to keep “toxic” people at a distance. If they are gaslighting you, or they are negative toward you, keep a good space between you and them when you have to be around them.
Remember, how someone treats you is not a reflection of you it is a reflection of them. You can’t control what they do, you can only control how you react to it. Is it worth reacting? You know you want to, but when you remember what it does to you is it worth it?
Actually on the CDC website they state that covid boosters can trigger a flare up of many different autoimmune diseases. My flare lasted two weeks. Worse symptoms daily for a week, at which point I realized the symptoms started after a doctor's appointment. Did a quick Google search and voila. Also got a pneumonia shot that day which might have contributed.
U must add k2 with the d3 and any calcium supplements otherwise it looks up wherever it can in the body and causes blocked arteries and bone spurs and many more painful problems…k2 directs the calcium and d3 to the correct place in the body..,also boron supplements help tremendously with helping the digestive track balance out
I was told I had high antibodies to EBV in my 20's when I had a strep infection I couldn't beat. Months of different antibiotics, to end up with CFIDS. Second son (of 5) was born with Strep B (through birth canal) and he was hospitalized for it at one week old. I got better. Fast forward to age 56. Horrible pain in my hands. Doctor said I looked like RA & other autoimmune issues. Tested and they said I was sero- negative RA. It does not run in my family! Rejected the Pharma suggested stuff my Rheumatologist wanted me to do & left. Did a few steroids, Switched up my diet and exercise with supplements and I went into remission and my bloodwork was fantastic for several years! Fast forward to now. I just turned 63 and am in agony again. Still living a healthy lifestyle. No sugar, correct supplements, intermittent fasting and exercise. I'm at a loss. Went from 152lbs to 120lbs (thank you Dr Berg) but can't seem to knock this out! Was also diagnosed with over active thyroid in my 40's. I kicked that after a year of meds! No problems since, never relapsed or swung to underactive! What the heck? I take D, Zinc and everything recommended. Gotta kick this swelling & pain!
Remarkable. Your vids on autoimmune diseases are so full of information one would not get anywhere else. In fact being so common this disease is very little talked about.
The reasons you mention for the underlying causes are all hundred percent accurate
Priceless. Thank you Dr Berg.
I have a genetic condition, EDS, plus numerous overlapping autoimmune conditions. No way can I afford all of the natural medicines he recommends. Great advice, but my guess is, most people can't, either. Also, and I've said this before, one would absolutely need a practitioner to advise them. What to take when, how much, how often, what's compatible with what, etc. It's overwhelming information, especially managing it on one's own.

@alicetlhone4034 I was just diagnosed last month with sarcoidosis, lymph & lung involvement. Have you had any improvement since your diagnosis, & do you have any recommendation for treatment?
Though I don't have an auto immune disease, yet I think following a healthy life style in general would save us from too many health probs, I personally been on keto for almost 2 years now, and I have as well at least 3 cups of herbal teas with added turmeric to them every day, and though I'm in my 40s now, I've hardly suffered from any illness that my other family members had when they were at my age: like diabetes, arthritis and other illnesses that tend to start around this age. Thanks Dr Berg 🌸
Curcumina is good stuff, it's one of the few herbal supplements that work for me.
At first I didn't realize how well it worked so I stopped it for a month and my joint pain returned.
I take in conjunction with Omega 3 oil or when I eat tuna, eggs or sardines.

Would love to find more info on PMGs acting as a decoy. It was my understanding that they were useless with autoimmunity because the glandular given *and* own tissue would be attacked and it’d be useless. Good resource to see that it works as decoy?
Also try monolauren, olive leaf, l-lysine; eliminate nightshades, gluten, dairy and sugar; daily sunshine; only eating meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds for awhile.
that works but makes it worse long term
Lysine helped me to shake off inflammation from CVD long haul.

@@Draziell because your gut is constantly evolving based on the variety of your diet, when you cut out entire food groups your gut adjusts and repopulates for only that specific food. That means when you decide to reintroduce certain foods you have an even bigger problem. Just eating meat is a very bad idea if you care about health and longevity
My son caught Mono (EBV) at age 11, not from kissing anyone but being in the same room (like a gym) with an adult that was symptomatic. There were at least 15 others in the same gym at the time, he was the only one that came down with it, and I believe that having had his appendix removed a year earlier was the difference. I didn't catch it, neither his younger sister, even though we were exposed to both that adult in the gym,and my son who suffered for more that three weeks before recovery.
I always made a point and explained to my children why we never share eating utensils, water bottles, etc. so we could avoid this virus ,in the end the pediatrician told me that my son caught it like one catches a cold/flu.😔
What is even more frustrating is that doctors ( especially ER doctors) are not knowledgeable, and properly trained to diagnose symptoms related to mono.
It is only called the kissing disease because it affects your blood cells and instead of being round they become oval kind of like kissey-lips
You can’t control catching a virus. You can try to work on having a strong immune system. Almost everyone in the world gets ebv in their lifetime
I tried your keto diet, lost weight, and felt so much better despite having to go to the hospital for an enema for a plugged bowel. "Am I on the keto diet?" inquired the hospital doctor first. I said yes, and he said it could be a side effect of the diet. The discomfort of not having a bowl movement for 5 or 6 days was worse than when I broke my upper arm falling off a house roof years before.
yes because it affect the lymp system blood toxemia and liver its easy to fix with breaking gallstones and boosting bile plus using herbs to get even up to 6 bowel movements solid per day
I have Crohn's disease and am currently on infliximab/remicade via IV every 8 weeks. It works fairly well for me and probably has kept me mostly in remission. The ongoing symptoms I usually have I suspect are from diet/lifestyle. Will try to give this a shot
Hi Elodan - and please look up Dasatinib and Quercetin for Crohn's.
Lichen Planus. I already have problems with anxiety and depression. My cat disappeared this May and in June the symptoms started without me knowing it. I've had shingles and this is worse. Should resolve itself in 2 to 3 yrs. I have bumps in every area of my body (I'm not covered completely) but the bumps are hard and itch. Some of the bumps are blisters so when you scratch without thinking you come away with bloody fingers. My butt, back arms crotch toes fingers oh boy. I was thinking of OMAD/keto diet (I need to lose weight too). Dang getting old is hard.
yes. change your diet.
I'm sorry your cat disappeared. hope you will find her/him again. take care.
Truth. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2019. The doctor put me on Methimazole. It took two months for the medicine to kick in. I turned 50, felt great and two months later I could barely walk.

I am currently in remission and pray that things stay that way.

What have you tried for the LP?
This is a super great informative video but one thing I have a question about that nobody is addressing, is when you talk about fasting for 48 hours there's hypoglycemics and diabetic people who cannot do that so what is the alternative?
My wife developed both RA and Hashimotos (spelling) disease shortly after taking a Typhoid Fever vaccine. We were going on a trip to Peru early 2020 and it was a recommended vaccine. I was perfectly fine. Her blood inflammation factor has been getting worse every 6 months taking a prescription med (I don't know the name). I came across Quercitin information so I bought some for her to try. She was only on it for about 2 months by her next blood test and her inflammation factor dropped massively into the remission range. Adding Quercitin is the only thing she changed. She's now upping the Quercitin and lowering the prescription med on her own. We'll see how her next blood work looks.
Interesting- Quercetin is a Zinc Ionophore and has been recommended for the last couple of years combined with Zinc as a way to stop viral replication in the cells. Makes sense why it would help!
Would you mind sharing what blood tests were elevated?
Thank you for the information
@@richellesmith8939 Sure, I'll ask her the name and values when she gets home.
@@richellesmith8939 It's called a vectra test. The highest my wife hit was 38 which is pretty bad. You want to be 1 to 29. She gets the test every 6 months. About 2 months before her last test she started Quercitin. Her new Vectra score was just 21. She's getting it done next month again. She upped the Quercitin and lowered her prescription meds after the last test. We're curious to see what it is now.
That's so crazy! I just ordered Standard Process PMGs; brain, pancreas, lungs, thyroid, and heary. I started out just looking for some of the products that my naturopathic doctor used to put me on, years ago, when I could afford him. I had forgotten about several of those products by Standard Process. I was just reading about each product, after looking for something to give me some iron and a product with iodine. I found that there were other PMGs, all kinds, with different organs which were said to actually benefit the matching human organs. I already knew that we should be eating much more organ meat than we do, and that most of us don't eat any. I was surprised to find, many years ago, that most of the Standard Process products that my doctor put me on, contain organ meats. That's how I realize how much phasing out organ meats from the standard American diet has harmed our health.
Back when I was a kid, my mother served the most delicious liver and onions for dinner, a couple of times a month. As I grew to an adult and began shopping and cooking for myself, I could never find any decent liver. My mom could always find it easily, but years later, anytime I tried to buy it and make it, it was just too gross for me to eat.
After all that I've learned about what Big Industry does to meat and dairy, I really have a hard time buying it and eating it. I know that so many Ph@rm@ceutic@ls and diseases go through those animals' livers, I really don't think I need more of that in my system. Blech!
Remember in the '80s, Susan Powter, the "STOP THE INSANITY!"..woman? I think she had some exercise videos but she also lectured and taught a lot on nutrition. She had the bleach blonde buzz haircut, kind of a zany gal, but she wrote a book called "FOOD!"...and boy!... she really, really did her research and knows what she's talking about! If you can find an old copy, maybe at your library, I highly recommend reading it!
Susan powter went by the wayside because she was an alcoholic.
You're right about the organ meat. My mum had to eat liver because she suffered Anemia often. I was with a friend lately and he started baking liver. I ran outside and emptied my stomach... I'm 67 now and that childhood experiences never left me...I can't stand the smell of liver although rationally know it's good ..
Are you talking about Susan “fat makes you fat” Powter? She advocated eating a fat-free, high carbohydrate diet! Sorry, but I still remember her insane formula for getting healthier and losing weight. She’s a hard NO for me
Thank you for explaining what goes on in our bodies where we can more understand these diseases.
I've been aware that it is EBV and it's sad that doctors don't know this. Ive had to be my own doctor and that is really hard.I had acute EBV 5 years ago at the age of 43 and after the acute phase I was left with achy joints, muscles, chronic fatigue, anxiety, constipation, bloating, weight gain, hair loss, brain fog, liver still feels swollen, gall bladder doesn't feel right, dehydrated, frequent urination, dry skin and hair. I've tried more supplements than I can mention, I fast, I eat healthy, meditate, and exercise 6 days a week and still feel like shit.
yes i get it. 30 years later after knowing had EBV in 20s. in 30s turned to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. we have ate exceptionally well 30 years now. exercise and take many, many suppliments. we do everything right we can but it still ruins nearly every day for me now, Either fatigue is awful or pain all over or both plus the various things fibro involves, sucks huh?.
Try a system cleanse. Detoxification
If you are using uniodised sea salt try some kelp supplements. It sounds more like thyroid to me.
I've been chronically ill for 10 years.
Bedridden for about 2 of those years. Arthritis, goiter, obesity, depression, anxiety ,type 2 diabetes,the list goes on and on.
The best I've felt was a change in diet but I fall off the wagon easy.
It's a wicked cycle.
Thank you for your awesome videos. God bless you abundantly.
As a former binge eater, I'd definitely recommend psych therapy to get to the root of why you fall off the wagon, and why it's hard to get back on
Thank you for your reply.
I don't so much binge as I'm drawn to all the wrong things. I'm a sugar addict.
I have an amazing amount of stress also.
Every moment on it is a victory 💜
Maybe you can put your energy into your fasting ,by increasing the length of your fasting even it's a 1/2hr. at a time. You'll gain so many benefits .Hope this helps.
meaning you are constipated you got acidic body parathyroid problems adrenal and autonomic problems adrenals or pituitary problems insuline resistance
mucus lymp blocked on pacreas and a lot of fungi and low immunity that cause a lot of cravings all those are fixable man but its harder to convince someone that to reverse the problem
I need more of this. I have severe psoriasis for more than 20 years now and unfortunately my son at 11 has sever psoriasis as well. We are both under biologics. Thank you so much for your effort. Hope you make more of auto immune disease videos. 🙏🙏👏👏❤️❤️
Hello. Sorry to hear that. Please see Dr. Berg's videos here about psoriasis: ua-cam.com/users/DrEricBergDCsearch?query=psoriasis
-Dr. Berg's Support Team
Can you do a video about Narcolepsy, please :)
I see huge improvement in my psoriasis with Zinc, Vit D3+Vit K2, Omega 3. Tried stopping grains and diary but it's too hard for me. Instead I reduced them significantly and do OMAD
I also took probiotics
Cut the carbs - you won’t know yourself.
All this + Bile salts helped me (another video from dr Berg) with psoriasis
They don't sell those at the pharmacy here :D maybe I should order online
Dairy is the killer. I highly recommend getting away from it.
Hi Dr Berg, can you help with the science behind why some doctors tell you not to eat red meat if you have lupus, and how the keto diet would be sustainable without red meat or dairy? Dr. simms says women over 30 should not be doing aerobic exercises due to the physiology and hormones of the female body, but if you have lupus as a woman should you set aside high intensity workouts???
Respected sir,
I am suffering from hypothyroidism, also an autoimmune disease. I am obese weighing 200 lbs. By doing IF, from 25th June this year. In two and half months, I reduced 16lbs. Feasting window is now only 4 hours. Feeling relaxed, more energetic, more young and I am just enjoying it.
Dr. Berg great videos, as I consider you a motivational speaker. Keep doing this practice to serve humanity.
Regards
Same here too. Hashimoto...total removal of the thyroid... thyroidectomy and on thyroxine
@@dupe181 I have Hashimoto disease also...this video doesnt actually state that it will put it into remission but I'm thinking it will help
now I hear him mentioning our issue..I spoke too soon...lol..pmg ..I'm gonna check it out
For hashimotos check out Dr David Brownstein videos. Have your 25hydroxy and iodine levels checked.

Superb video!
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Peace and blessings!
Most welcome! Glad you found it useful.
Hello doctor can you please make an video on ashwaganda and autoimmune diseases
How much B1, omega3 and k2 to be taken?
In another video you talk about everyone needing eggs. Doesn’t eggs feed Epstein Barr? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this as I was diagnosed with MS a few years ago. I’ve gone back and forth on whether or not eggs are the best thing for me.
I’d really like to know this too. I was avoiding eggs following medical medium advice but then just started eating them after watching one of Dr Bergs videos. So confusing!!
Hi Dr. Berg! I watch your videos quite often and you often say to take 40,000 iu of Vitamin D3 but you don't say if that is everyday or is it weekly? I have 3 autoimmune diseases and really need to be sure. Thank you!
A few people in the comments said weekly.
I have a dog with an autoimmune disorder. Intermittent fasting and keto has helped her more than any medication!
I tested negative for EBV and also had very high vit D 125 at time of autoimmune diagnosis. I do agree overwhelming stress was a contributing factor though. Lots of speculation about root cause of autoimmune disorders. Some of the theories fit some patients some of the time...
Most of the vitamins I take, says to take with food. How do you manage vitamins when fasting?
I would love to see some information on congenital adrenal hyperplasia. I was recently diagnosed with this, and I’m having difficulty finding information about how to handle it more holistically. From what I can understand, it’s a gene disorder that produces excess cortisol. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
Another great video.Thank you Dr. Berg.
Most welcome! Glad you found it informative.
Is there a time that one would stay on PMGs indefinitely?
At 6.15 i know what you're talking about. I will never take the covid shots
ive taken my 3rd jab in feb this year....
Literally a week after my first covid shot, both my hands went numb. Go diagnosed with MS a few months later after experiencing further symptoms
Dr Berg. For years my now teenage son was diagnosed with asthma. But 2 years ago we were told that it's never been asthma but an incurable disease called surfactant Deficiency. It affects his lungs and breathing. I have been watching your channel for years for myself and even used a few of your products, but now I'm watching your channel for my son as well. He's presently 15 years old. Please provide me with some advice. Is there any of your videos that I could watch to possibly assist? He's on steroids, hydrochloroquin and azithromycin. He was told that these would be taken for the rest of his life. I'm not a huge fan of medication that's not natural. Any of your advice will be greatly appreciated.
This has helped me and it’s all natural…take a grapefruit and two lemons…take the skins and boil them for three hours in distilled water …about a half gallon…let it cool and remove the skins…have him take a half a shot glass full once every morning and see if it helps him with his breathing…it’s helped me immensely
Hello Azithromycin all his life is going to kill all the good bacteria in his stomach. And also make him immune to antibiotics. Maybe you should try giving him natural yoghurt too.
Also for his chest ailment give him black tea preferably Dilmah's (Srilankan Tea) with a pinch of freshly grated ginger and about 2 pinches of salt. He should drink it hot. It helps with breathing. All the best
Hi doctor BergI have been following you for quite a while I have limited at Scleridermer so I was wondering if you ever get a chance to kindly do a small video on ways to combat limited scleriderma .
If have the disease to my hands and fingers thank you very much keep up the good work doctor.. I love your videos.
yes it can be reversed you mean scleroderma
Very informative, thank you. I was diagnosed with Achalasia a year after my mother died. My symptoms started right after my mum passed away. I agree stress in my case grief, working long hours along with Vit D deficiency seems to ring true.. as you described. I have had treatment in the form of surgery but always keen to do what I can to help...reducing stress has been my top focus but most of your suggestions I'm also keen to try.

I've noticed (anecdotally) that persons around who took the 'intervention' are absolutely besieged by arthritis, in some cases, absolutely out of the blue. That pregnancy thing is interesting. In my third pregnancy my seborrheic dermatitis went into remission, but came back within a few weeks of delivery. My own family are beset with autoimmune in general, usually with onset during childhood eg ... excema, athsma and ankylosing spondylitis.
What are we all forced to get as children…
Please cover auto-inflammatory disease remission as well. For example Familial Mediterranean Fever. How to cure it completely
Hello Dr. Berg I'm a new follower and I can't thank you enough for your knowledge to help all of us!
I am trying Keto, and I feel such a difference since I am fasting.
It's amazing how much energy I have and overall feeling great.
Last year I had stage 1 breast cancer. It is not in our family, however, I truly believe it was brought on by stress. I was losing my house to Foreclosure. Very stressed time to save my house.. then my mother became very ill.
8 months before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I had been feeling very sluggish and developed Rosacea acne.
Can anyone tell me were these symptoms of Auto Immune Disease, and symptoms of the cancer?
Thank you.
Hard to tell but rosacea may point to gut dysbiosis. This video may help. m.ua-cam.com/video/XANNFYoeIbE/v-deo.html
Get Dr. Jason Fung's book The Cancer Code. He is also on You tube if you want to listen to some of his videos first. He saved my friend's life...and so many others.
Thank you I will get
The Cancer Code book.
Greatly appreciated!
I have learned so much from this channel. Way more then i had anticipated. Thank you Dr. Berg, Keep'em comming and I'll keep watching.
What if you have multiple autoimmune issues? I am Type 1 diabetic, celiac and dealing with pulmonary sarcoidosis. Because of the sarcoid, I can't take Vit D because it causes my hypercalcemia, even with Vit K
I LOVE this topic!! I've struggled with several Autoimmune Conditions for years and could not get a diagnosis or treatment plan with conventional western medicine. Finally, a friend sent me to a GREAT Functional Medicine Physician (FMP.) And together we have me in remission - or as my FMF says" stabilized." I did everything; changed my diet and lifestyle, improved my sleep hygiene, started thyroid hormones, healed my Leaky Gut, started taking the supplements my blood labs said I need, used high doses of Vitamin C and used Medical Grade Ozone, And yes, I was told I had EB when in High school. The mold exposure in 2008-2013 brought my Autoimmune Hashimoto's back with a VENGENCE. Luckily I know what to do and I put my Hashi back into the mission again.
… I wish you did a video about Iron deficiency below the range (7 on a scale starting from 20 plus) and Vitamin B12 deficiency ( Also below the range). What can cause both at the same time? (I am not vegan, nor vegetarian). Currently on Iron tablets (taken with orange juice) and Vitamin B12 injections (added probiotics to be able to absorb better). …
Yes please …
Celiac or gluten sensitivity comes to mind! Do you eat grain? Stop eating grain.
Hey I’m not sure which Dr has the video but it’s either gonna be Dr Eric Berg of course and or Dr Ken Berry … he is another dr on UA-cam who is wonderful and he is much like Dr Berg .. I’m sure if you went to their UA-cam channel and search the contents you would find it …
Yes ...I am waiting
@@sarahb.6475 Yes I do.
The target is the blood level of 50 ng/ml D3 blood level. The range of the most 50 ng/ml-100 ng/ml for glutathione production by transcription glutamyl-cysteine ligase and glutathione reductase. At 50 ng/ml tumor necrosis factor alpha a key rheumatoid factor is repressed. Its the blood level not the dose. Cysteine is needed through NAC and cysteine to make glutathione as cysteine is limited.
I am male and have lupus- APS & ITP and had an injury last November and have been in a flare ever since. Mostly joint pain that jumps around from wrists to shoulders to knees. When the next area is affected, the previous area goes back to normal like nothing was ever wrong. Am in college and it adds another layer of stress to everything…
Sounds very similar to me do you get inflammation of nerves aswell
I was diagnosed with Lupus months after my sons death seven years ago. I wish this crap would go away smh I’ve had an heart attack and stroke and I’m only 43 smh Lupus is hell!
Exactly what happened to me I suffered the loss of my mom 10-10-10 and then a divorce 2-11-11 and I developed Fibromyalgia. A perfect storm of enormous grief. The next two years was spent going to doctors after doctors trying to diagnose me. I still suffer from flare ups occasionally but I am taking the vitamins that Dr Berg recommends. This video is absolutely invaluable!
Bless your heart. Hopefully one day, Dr Berg can put a new video content up in regards to the effects of enormous grief in relation to the mind and body.
@@macabree5856 thank you that was so kind. I believe stress: grief, anger, depression etc is a cause of so many illnesses. His videos are so relevant to every humanbeing.
This is happening to me right now. Lost my Mom at the start of Covid, then my mentor/boss/friend a year later when her breast cancer returned and took her away from us. I’ve been trying to deal with growing autoimmune issues, depression and awful anxiety trying to juggle a job, my family and graduate school courses. I’m out here to find out what I can do to get out of this cycle.
Ur ex was an absolute aHat to do that to u after ur mom just dying
Hope ur doing lots better now
I have fibromyalgia and chronic migraines that are debilitating. Dr. Berg is part of my personal arsenal, he helps me more than my rheumatologist… seriously 😳 Dr. B you’re a true one!
Brexit resulted job loss, relocation, MBA, coupled with narcissistic relationship put a toll on my emotional and stress level. I was diagnosed with rare skin autoimmune disease called Pemphigus Vulgaris within that few months. I am still treating after 6 years. I want it completely put into remission
I'm on similar boat with Grave's
The great Medical Medium Anthony Williams who has written about this in his books for many many years has changed so many lives teaching them how to rid their bodies of EBV.
For any sufferers I would highly recommend ❤
I read that book, as well. Amazing, isn't he ?
Doc - my body has been getting used to 10k per day of D. If I'm doing 40k per day, is that during a time of "physical stress" or long term? Is there a daily amount of K2 you recommend alongside it?
I'm having a Crohn's Disease flare up right now and have level 4 thrombosed hemorrhoids. Trying to heal the ulcers with cabbage juice, zinc carnosine, carnivore diet and IF, and taking Collinsonia for the roids. I have chronic migraines too.
Damn...when did the release this bad boy from the lab?
You mean dr berg? Many, many years ago
