Today we’re going to talk about what causes kidney stones.
It’s odd that kidney stones even form in the first place, but calcification can occur in many parts of the body.
97.2% of the people with kidney stones in a certain study also had tiny bacteria (nanobacteria) in the kidney stones.
These nanobacteria eat calcium and form bone-like crystal structures-a type of calcium that’s in bone. They’ve also found nanobacteria in calcium deposits in other parts of the body.
The problem is that the immune system has a difficult time detecting nanobacteria because they protect themselves with biofilms. But, the immune system will detect a problem and will trigger an immune response. An immune response can create a lot of inflammation, leading to complications.
Before using any natural remedies to break up biofilms, take TUDCA and have activated charcoal on hand.
How to help prevent kidney stones:
1. Drink 2.5 liters of fluid per day
2. Take calcium citrate and consume lemons
3. Take potassium citrate
4. Take garlic
5. Get on Healthy Keto® and do intermittent fasting
6. Decrease stress on yourself and your microbiome

I have been dealing with stones for almost ten years. I started getting them when I was 19. I am 28 now and in February I had five stones. 5mm two 4mm and a smaller one in all in my right kidney and one 2mm in the left. I have had the stones analyzed. They are mostly made up of brushite. I was told that not much is known about what causes that. Could this be related to what you were talking about in this video? I have had the procedure done three separate times in my life to have stones removed. I have had over twenty stones in the nine years. My diet is not terrible. I am pulling at straws here trying to figure out why this is happening. I had an X-ray in November I only had one. Go to the ER in February (only three months) to then have five. Please help me.
U not alone am here peeing all day it hurts feel someone cutting by razor 🪒 inside penis head
Doctor, I have a kidney stone of 6.2 mm what should I do. Will it pass?
It's all tudca supplements made from animal bile.? Is there something we can get without having to use bile of a bear or an ox?
Dr. have you examined the ingredients of low sugar Monster energy drinks? If so please tell me if you think drinking enough of these over a period of time can cause or increase the size of kidney stones. The blue canned letters contain little sugar but it does contrain sucralose, a controversial artificial sweetner, with possible dangers.
I have suspected this to be the case but would like your opinion.
I was getting a stone about every 2 years and ended up in the ER twice. The last one I had was 7mm and the doctors told me I wouldn't be able to pass it so they scheduled me to see a Urologist to put me under while they ran a scope through the ureter to break it up. While waiting for the appointment I read up on every natural remedy I could find. I did the lemon remedy and also apple cider vinegar treatments. After doing these my pain was completely gone within about 4 days. I still had to go to the urologist appointment which was a week later and they did another scan that morning but didn't tell me the results. I was feeling wonderful with no pain but just a little tired. I wasn't sure if the stone was still there though so I went along with the doctors who went ahead and did the scheduled procedure. When I woke up from the anesthesia they told me there was nothing there to break up. The stone had apparently dissolved due to the lemon water and apple cider vinegar. Ever since then I try to drink water every day with a couple of capfuls of organic apple cider vinegar. I haven't had a stone in over 8 years now. I tell every one I can about apple cider vinegar's wonderful benefits. I used to drink a lot of soda (Mountain Dew especially) and so I was often dehydrated from the sugar and caffeine. Dr. Berg is right in that you need to stay hydrated. My doctors had told me that from their experience they have a saying "Once a stoner, always a stoner" implying that you are going to be stuck with these things the rest of your life but that is not true. You can find natural remedies to prevent or heal your body if you get them. The lemon remedy works as follows: buy about a dozen lemons or so and in the first hour squeeze them to fill a cup of 6 to 8 ounces. Drink this down undiluted in the first hour. For the next hour and every hour afterwards throughout the rest of the day squeeze a lemon in with a cup of 8 ounces water. Drink this diluted lemon water every hour. You can also do apple cider vinegar mixed with water which is what i do now to prevent them from forming, or dissolve them if formed. I've also heard asparagus helps with the urinary tract too. Anyway, Merry Christmas and God bless everyone who reads this. Kidney stones are horribly painful and I pray you never get one.
Interesting info. I've had stones several times over the years. Really painful. I'm going to buy some lemons like you suggest.
@@namvet1968 Good luck! Apple cider vinegar works too. Make sure to get the kind with the mother in it if you try that. I like the Bragg brand but I have bought others too.
Great info, thanks for caring.
@Eppy Channel If you already have a stone I would drink as much as you can tolerate and do it numerous times a day. For preventive maintenance I drink about 2 teaspoonfuls in 12 ounces of water once a day. I do consume it every day. In the summer when it's hot out I sometimes drink more. I basically try to see how I feel when I urinate. I can tell if I am starting to get dehydrated (my urine may be cloudy or there will be a slight burning sensation). I hit the water and vinegar and then I feel much better. Good luck and God bless. Hope this helps you.
My UROLOGIST TOLD ME, lemon water- NOT EVERY GLASS AS YOU CAN mess up other things, but yes it works, TCM would say it stimulates teh liver to start breaking things down.
Dr Berg is motivated through helping people not going through speel to say you can buy a 30 day supply of tablets for $50. A genuine guy imparting medical knowledge to overcome medical issues. Thanks Dr Berg.
Absolutely !! Dr. Bergs info has helped me with a number of health issues, Thanks Doc.
Hi doctor. I am writing from Turkey. I also had a kidney stone problem. We in Turkey can solve this problem in two ways. First, we drink yogurt water on an empty stomach every morning. This is the exact solution. Secondly, avocado leaf tea is drunk on an empty stomach in the morning. This is the second exact solution.
Gross, rather pass a stone
Yogurt water recipe??
I have been forming kidney stones since 26, I am 52 now. I had a stone requiring surgery every 3-4 years. After researching this I'm convinced that the cause of most of the stones is oxalates. After going on a medium to lox oxalate diet [it's not recommended to jump to low ox immediately] for over a year I'm beginning to feel a lot better. My sinuses cleared which helped breathe and therefore sleep better. I no longer get excessive tartar nor extreme weakness. If bacteria are the cause of kidney stones, then why am I feeling better? Oxalates are one of several plant toxins that are present most abundantly in things like spinach, almond, dark chocolate, peanuts, etc. The leading authority in oxalates is most definitively nutritionist Sally K Norton, I highly recommend looking at her videos here in UA-cam and take it from there. Good luck!!!
Absolutely..people need to listen to just one UA-cam interview with SALLY K NORTON and they would understand. Dr Berg?
Yup. I agree. Oxalates cause much disease in the human. And we were fed so much of them.
Get into carnivore. Slowly.
Watch vids on oxalate dumping and how to control this cleansing.
Thank you :)

I wonder why he recommended calcium citrate as well? He also mentioned potassium citrate which makes sense.
Chlorine dioxide destroy biofilms
That much water is not good for everyone. People who suffer migraines need more salt than those who don't have migraines. Water dilutes electrolytes, including salt/sodium.
I don't do any of the above and I have never had any kidney stones in my 58 years.i especially never drink 2.5 litres of water and I'm healthy as can be.
@@passionatesingle There are outliers for everything, just because you don't need to do it doesn't mean it will be the same for others.
This man saved my life.♥️
me too
Still saving mine. 😉
Same here.🙂
Thanks for all the videos Dr Berg. I look forward to see new video updates and be educated on any topics.
My intermittent fasting + keto journey has began mid 2022 after watching many of your videos. I’m so glad I’ve started it. Before then it has never been my concern but I was getting sick of bloating and the crash in the afternoon. The benefits I’ve gained from it are feeling great everyday, a lot less bloating and fluid retention, mental clarity and focus. Also enjoy more on meal prep and cooking since I can have 2 meals without snacks in a day. Thank you so much for producing wonderful videos that benefit everyone. I’d love to see collaboration of you and Dr. Andrew Hurberman. I think many of viewers would enjoy.
Had my first stone in the US Army and had to have lithotripsey. Since then, I’ve had upward of 30-50 operations and many, many more stones passed naturally. One surgeon went in to clean one kidney out of stones but knicked my renal artery. After bleeding internally and into external bags for a week, I was almost dead. They finally listened and took me through the ER. Several operations later they were able to stop the bleeding and it left that kidney with barely over 20% usage of that kidney. A few years later it started going below 20% and what remained was removed. Stones are real people and they SUCK but then so does a bad surgeon. Potassium Citrate twice a day has really lowered my stone formation.
When I was pregnant, I passed a kidney stone. Comparing the pain of both events, I’d prefer to give birth!
damn, youre more of a man than me....and youre a woman, lol. hope all turned out well
Wow, then it must be really bad.
@@PolPotsPieHole lol yes.
@@LunaPaloma77 it was indeed.
What do you mean passed? What happened
Merry Christmas doctor; ever since finding your keto videos, I went from 90kg to now 74 kg in just five months! In addition to avoiding sugars, carbs of all kinds and just eating breakfast and dinner skipping lunch, I would walk at least 5km a day. I put on the weight due to anti depressants and used to be 63kg and thought I would never get back to my normal self, but I'm half way there so thanks very much
That’s seriously awesome 👏 thank you for sharing, very inspiring ❤❤❤
Don't take meds
Water, Lemons, Garlic. I am surprised that olive oil wasn't mentioned haha.
i.e. A TRADITIONAL Greek salad is the way to go!!!
Calcium - Feta
Citrate - Lemons
Potassium - Coriander, dill, basil, parsley, oregano
Olive oil - Anti-inflammatory
Vinegar - regulates your blood sugar levels
Other herbs and vegetables that you can't go wrong with like olives, tomato, cucumber, lettuce and cabbage
I have had 7 kidney stones in the last 2 weeks and probably pass 20 or more each year. Luckily the stones I get are very small, smooth, and round, compared to the more crystal-like stones which are way more painful to pass. I started getting stones at the EXACT same time as I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Every doctor I've been to has said there is no connection but I find that hard to believe.
Your blood sugar has to stay under control for sure. Also look up oxalates in food. There's no point in giving your body the stuff to make kidney stones.
Drink lots of lemon or lime water, especially in the morning and at night...citric acid I read helps to dissolve them
Your uric acid levels are too high, you gotta get them down bruh. I've never had a stone in my 2.5 years. I drink 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar diluted with water every day.
U need to drink lemon water natural lemons not immation
@@mrshannon2575 I drink 4oz of lemon juice every morning.
You never cease to amaze me with your new angle on our health related issues. Although I don't have a kidney stone problem, but this video really hit home by addressing all the related symptoms. Thank you for another awesome video!
From my research it appears that scientists have disproven the nanobacteria theory and have since updated the scientific terminolgy to specify these protein-minera; formations as being non-living nano-molecules formed from biomineralization rather than bacteria. IS there any additional literature available refuting this counter position on the subject?
@@UsdSkate123 Great catch there, Joe. But I would still be suspicious of this counter theory - enough so that I'd check in to who funded their research/grant(s) l. Then I would consider that the technique/protocol revealed by Dr Berg does actually work, although how it appeared effective on a non-living entity I haven't a current thought.
I see this as a chain reaction of chronic illnesses that all start with digestive stress. Imagine that digestion is like the Earth and the creatures living in it are not in harmony, when everything is neutral they suddenly become enemies of each other. I think the treatment starts from the initial reaction, which is to restore harmony to the environment and prevent stress from the beginning so that the micro-organisms in it do not feel threatened. The environment (and the environment in the gut) may be the key.
3 years ago, I made a resolution to take better care of my teeth when I noticed signs of neglect were starting to show. Until that point, brushing my teeth was just something I did before I left the house so my breath wouldn’t offend people, and I almost never brushed before bed…and since dentists always gave me the impression that flossing is pretty much optional, I opted not to. So on 1/1/2020, I brushed and flossed before bed. When I woke up on 1/2/2020, I noticed my psoriasis looked much better. I wondered if it was related, but psoriasis changes from day to day, so I tossed it up to coincidence, but my curiosity about it motivated me to brush and floss before bed again that night. When I woke up on 1/3/2020, my psoriasis looked better again. And on it went, brushing and flossing before bed, and seeing improvement in my psoriasis upon waking the next day. At the time, like most Americans, I was woefully ignorant of the pathogenic potential of oral microbes. But I NEVER believed that so-called autoimmune disorders are caused by an immune system going haywire for no good reason, or because of some lousy genes that were passed down. (Handing down destructive genetic material to our offspring makes absolutely no sense from an evolutionary perspective.) I always knew SOMETHING REAL was triggering my immune system to respond in this way…something doctors couldn’t yet detect or something they were overlooking. It took about 6 months of nightly brushing and flossing to completely clear up my psoriasis naturally without any meds or topical treatments. I wish I had known this back when I first broke out with it in 8th grade, I could have saved my mother a small fortune in dermatology treatments that only left me feeling helpless because they never worked. And I could have gone through high school without the ugly scales all over my elbows and knees. If anyone had informed me that oral hygiene is THIS important, I would’ve taken much better care of my teeth for the past 50 years!!!
I had to know why it worked, but back in 2020, Google wasn’t much help. I had to dig into published microbial studies and follow my intuition for a few months to find my answers. When I read about biofilms for the first time, I knew right then that psoriasis is a biofilm infection, not a disordered immune system. The hardest part about having worked all this out myself is that I now understand things that most doctors haven’t even heard about yet.
It is so refreshing to hear an MD speak intelligently about the things I have been learning and know to be true. I would love to hear your thoughts on using ginseng in addition to freeze dried garlic while clearing biofilm infections.
Who Else loves " Dr Berg " ?
His video on ACV with regards to Acid reflux changed my life

Fasting is the healthiest thing you can do. When your body thinks it's starving all it's healing powers are stimulated.
@@Drivenwithambition
I would prefer some stress to arthritis, cancer, kidney and artery disease.
@@Drivenwithambition Once you get accustomed to fasting, there's no stress, it's easy-peasy. Especially since we are blessed to live in a time when food is always available and we have the comfort of knowing we can end our fast at any moment we want.
@@Drivenwithambition The reason you gave for why it's not right in all cases was wrong, so I corrected you.
@@Drivenwithambition Eating is stressful, fasting gives you a break from that stress.
@@Drivenwithambition fasting is beneficial to all adults that is carrying extra weight.
I admire Dr. Berg and thank him for his excellent and educational videos on health issues that are so important to our health. The Human Body is very complex and doctors do not have time to talk to us the way Dr. Berg does. Kudos to you Dr. Berg. You are very thorough!
I am from the Netherlands.
I've had serious stomach / intestinal problems for a year now. according to the doctors from a diaphragmatic rupture. But the diagnosis was vague while I had severe complaints. Started TUDCA/NAC 3 weeks ago. Pain complaints have now been reduced by at least 75%. Every day better. Thank you very much for your video!!!!!
The value of the knowledge learned in these videos is unlimited.
Thank you Dr. Berg for these videos.
Merry Christmas Dr Berg and your family.....have a blessed, healthy and happy year ahead
After starting Keto and intermittent fasting two years ago by watching your videos, I've lost and kept off 35 lbs. I'm at a good weight. Thank you for your informative videos.

My very first experience with kidney stones was in August of 1978 and by January of 1979 they were surgically removed. That was only the beginning, however, because since then I have developed stones no fewer than 22 times - passing some and having some removed by cystoscopy. Needless to say, the chronic problem started to affect my kidney EFGR reading. Previously, all I was told was to drink plenty water daily. Within the last two years I started seeing a Nephrologist who put me on Potassium Citrate twice daily.
Dr. Eric, I truly appreciate the information you bring to the public. Be blessed Sir and have a wonderful holiday season.
Did the Potassium Citrate help?
Excellent informative video. Another prevention I would suggest is taking K2 to make sure the calcium gets deposited in the right place (bones)…..
Very useful treatment of kidney stones is CYSTONE
a Himalaya herbs: Dodymocarpus pedicellata, Saxifraga ligulata,Rubia cordifolia,Cyperus scariosus,Achyrantes aspect, Onosma bracteatum,Vernonia cinerea,Shilajeet and Lime silicate
I also asked 2 days ago "Why no mention of Vitamin K2?" BUT also have received NO Reply from Berg team or anyone else
@@bevjane7245 He mentioned k2 in many of his videos on k2 and on stones.
I have suffered a long time with a kidney stone. I was told it was gallstones so they removed my gallbladder. The attacks didn't go away and now years later on a CT scan for a large fibroid they found a kidney stone. I plan to start lemon water right away while getting all the items in this video. Thank you! 🍋❤🍋

I recently found kidney stone of 2 mm and doctor told me to not to take lemon and cirtruis food.
This is great knowledge. I’ll pass this on to a friend. She is a young 50 year old and was diagnosed with 6 kidney stones a month ago. Was in the hospital for a few days. She needed surgery. As of today she still has 1 or 2 left. I cannot imagine even having one of these much less six. Thanks Doc.
You are the only dr that I know that looks at the health issues as a connection of all body functions from hundreds of different angles, not just one thing! Is all connected! Thank you!
I’ve had more than 20. I also have arthritis degenerative disc disorder and fibromyalgia. I’ve lost all my teeth. Among many other health problems. So this makes sense to me.
Please watch robertmorsend on UA-cam and you’ll find the real root cause. Best of luck to you.

She just had gallstones removed last week and one was 10mm! They had to use a “balloon” in two areas due to her diverticulitis.
She doesn’t drink enough water which drives us loopy. She has sinus issues, stress from the loss of her daughter (2019), poor diet and ulcers. She’s also a cancer survivor. Will do my best to help change her habits as much as possible.

Cabbage juice and DGL is great for ulcers.
That was very informative. I have chronic kidney stones haven’t had them for a while, but I passed two a month for nine months at one time I was deathly ill. I will definitely take your advice. I never want to do that again.
This is interesting because when I had kidney stones the urologists always told me DO NOT EAT CITRUS. Your theory contradicts that.
Always ask your doctor why.
Merry Christmas Dr. Berg!! I find your research so interesting. I've adopted some of your research into my life, many of your recommendations have dramatically upgraded my health. It seems so natural, I don't realize it till I learn the state of health of my siblings. It's really worth the effort and I'm so grateful. We are the same age. Thank you.

@@ahussaini4048 yes...HIIT, weight training, and 10-15-20k steps a day
I just love the way Dr Berg explains a health topic. Even the most layman can understand his explanations. He's truely a 'Health Prophet'...that's what I call him!
Dr, you are doing a phenomenal job with these videos. Thank you from bottom of my heart!
All I do is mix lemon juice, with water and add a little sea salt, and drink it with a straw 3 times a week
Dr. Berg's timing nails it again! I passed my first stone at age 17. Passed two more, later on. I believe there's another one on the way and I used to believe it was from drinking sodas (not just sugary but sugar-free ones, too). What helped me pass them, I believe, was strong cranberry juice & lemon juice (both with enough water), beet juice, and asparagus water. (The beet juice, however, might have too much sugar but it was available.) Raw garlic does help, too -- and avoiding junk food. That aside... I hope everyone reading this has a happy and healthy Christmas & a wonderful New Year. Thank you for so many helpful and awesome videos, Dr. Berg.
Add this to your life on a regular basis....just tart cherry...it reduces inflammation big time.....in the whole body and dissolves uric acid also....but is a life saver for the body....Merry Christmas and stay safe and warm out there.....
Wow this is amazing! So happy I found this channel and all you amazing ppl here as well, because I too suffer from kidney stones. They are so awful and I wanna faint from them. Thanks for the advice!
Try stone breaker. 6 days after I started I passed a 5mm and 9mm stone, they were broken up before they passed
@@ThrewOutMyHalo what Is the stone breaker? 😳
Try chanca piedra. Taking it daily will help prevent both kidney stones and gallstones.

I have had 1 very painful kidney stone years ago and passed it by drinking large amount of water. My sister gets them often and I will pass this on to her also. Thanks Dr Berg.
Great. Some of his earlier videos on stones may help as well ❤
One of the best educational videos ever. Thank you. This is so important for people to understand
If these bio films grow fast when the person is stressed, we must force ourselves to find happiness. Then we can also do dietary changes , but I am now, after this video, convinced that peace is the key. Thank you for sharing this video on a day we celebrate the birth of master teacher on peace. Merry Christmas
You are a great teacher, Dr. Berg. Thank you!
Thank you, Dr. Berg. I appreciate your efforts to help so many. You have helped me. I do most of the things already, but your reminders encourage me to keep on and get back to things I used to take. Most of it is in the food, I have found, but supplements really help.
Happy holidays to Dr.Berg and everyone. By far the most comprehensive health advice online that outline cause and effect,with remedies in integrative medicine..
Wow!! Thanks Dr Berg! I think you just diagnosed some of my problems. I had hyperparathyroidism, not caused by an adenoma, but caused by 4 gland hyperplasia. 5 years ago 3 of those 4 glands were removed but I still have elevated calcium from time to time, not dangerously high like before, but still too high. I had everything you mentioned too; kidney stones, cataracts, clogged arteries, constipation, etc and after everything I went thru, it still seems like nothing is getting these issues under control. Maybe now I have an answer. 👍
You are amazing. thank you for the information. Ive been struggling w/ stones all my adult life. Had the surgery once, thought I was goin to die, the pain was absolutely a 11. This info is golden***
I had a lot of kidney stones when I was in university as a student. Because I was drinking a lot of soda and eating a lot bad food. When I started eating a bit heathier and no more sodas, I didn't had a kidney stone in 15 years
Thank you Dr Berg!! You touched on a problem that I've been having for 2 years now...crystal formation .. apatite and struvite.. thank you for helping develop a plan for us!! Much Love and Gratitude your way!!! This video.. :) i take like a Christmas present!!! A new year's present !! Cheers!!!
Drink lots of lemon or lime water, especially in the morning and at night...citric acid I read helps to dissolve them
He also made earlier helpful videos on kidneys stones ❤
This is fascinating! My entire life I’ve taken so many courses of antibiotics. Strep throat, tonsillitis, sinus infections. I had kidney stones as a teen, then again in my 40’s. My stones were calcium (not oxalate). I stopped taking any and all calcium supplements. I’ve cut way back on oxalates too just in case. I’m on a low carb diet and haven’t been on antibiotics in years.
K2 and boron…u will be amazed at what improves after a few months of taking them…it’s been a year or so since I started and I feel miserable from the symptoms of my body fixing itself but…I’ve healed so much…my eyesight! Hearing is improving…skin clearing up…my hair is so thick and other then the white from where I lost my hair…my hair color is turning from grey and white to blonde again! My skin doesn’t look as old…I’ve struggled with undiagnosed issues most my life…uninsured most of my life lol….and now fear of the treatment protocol they’ll demand I be on keeps me away…if it ever needs to be diagnosed then maybe but I’m hoping to have this cured within a few years time and be back to homeostasis
I was diagnosed with graves thyrotoxicosis an autoimmune condition in 2018, but I was diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism in 2004, the I passed my first kidney stone a couple of years later, but we're discharged after my calcium returned to normal, passed several kidney stones and have a gall stone to.. I passed my last one in hospital in 2019 2 months after my thyroidectomy, then got diagnosed again with primary hyperparathyroidism through blood tests in 2020, but again endo won't treat me, I've now seen a private parathyroid surgeon who as identified a nodule in my neck, but you suprised me when you mentioned calcification of the joints ect, because I have calcification of my knees,ankles, and heart, calcified tendonitis in my shoulder, have tinnitus, bad eyesight lost around 5 teeth so far and have ostiopein in my spine and thigh bones, I was rushed into hospital in 2015 with stomach/bowle problems vomiting blood passing blood , I was put on high amounts of introvenis antibiotics, I couldn't stop vomiting even after 6 days, I begged the specialist to take me off the antibiotics,when he did I recovered, I got a bad chest infection in 2018 GP gave me antibiotics oral...I vomited them back and discontinued them, I recovered from the infection by myself, I've since found out I can't stomach antibiotics in any form🤷
Dr Berg saves lives 🙏🏽🙌🏾 I hope he knows how much of an impact he has on the UA-cam health community
Thank you Dr. Berg! Wish these videos were around when I had my first kidney stone and issues at 25. I went through a whole lot of horrible things til one of my kidneys had to be removed. Now I try to take care of myself better especially because I only have 1 kidney left.
Have you had stones in your remaining kidney
@@gguerrero4769 yes but nowhere near the amount I had in my left kidney for a little over 20 years. I take cranberry pills every day and if it gets bad I drink cranberry juice right away which knocks out any kidney infection and stone right away. I'm a stone maker. I have gallstones too.
Wow! Dr. Berg reading my mind again. . .. Since 2020 I have been struggling with kidney stones and researching WHY do I keep getting these nasty things? my MD's only answer was" its hereditary" and didn't want to discuss further she was absolutely no help at all. I have pain in my joints too and wondered if there was a correlation to my kidney stones and Dr. Berg totally answered my question . Dr. Berg do you realize how many people you help everyday?!. THANK YOU and Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄❤
One of the best Doctors on UA-cam.
Thank Your for the health help you give us.
Thanks for all the amazing information and helping us live better.
Right on! Thanks for the feedback!

(QUESTION)- so taking in this new information, would you still recommend taking Prebiotics/Probiotics/Digestive Enzymes to combat kidney stones or no?..
Dr. Berg this is very informative. As a "stone former" I have had many stones; Lithotripsy and was prescribed a diuretic years ago. I read recently that long term use of diuretics may in fact increase your chances of creating stones. Could you address this phenomenon? Clearly all of the side issues you mentioned, tooth plaque, Atherosclerosis, and kidney stones run in myself and my family. It makes sense to me to practice more natural practices and habits for future prevention to avoid further problems and procedures. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Extremely painful. My son and granddaughter have them too😢 will definitely pass this along. GREAT DICTOR
I appreciate this videos explanation of the bacteria within the kidney stone, Thanks. I haven't looked at your references to the DATA yet, but I definitely looked to your description so I could reference them later.
Thank you Dr. Berg and God bless your family and a merry Christmas❤❤❤
Thanks for the info as always Dr Berg 😊
The problem with anything “citrate”, though, is that since the 1940s nearly all citric acid has been made from aspergillus and not citrus fruit. You can Google it. My family are “moldies”, and anything “citrate” (including calcium citrate, magnesium citrate etc) causes all of us to have intense stomach pain. However, we are more than happy to blend whole lemons with frozen blueberries
thank you for a voice of reason in a sea of insanity.
Thanks I have that problem too!
God bless you Doctor people like you have a special place in heaven ever since I found your channel 2 months ago ,I've lost 9.5kg doing intermittent fasting and keto ,gastric ulcer gone feeling so good mentally,spiritually and physically thank you for this free information which is saving lives .
Almost 4months 18kgs gone
Recently, I went through gout, Arthritis type symptoms that attacked my left, big, toe joints. I started taking a cherry juice capsule and reducing red meat intake. I didn't notice much change.The pain was debilitating. I bought a uric acid flush and also started apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda, honey, water drink two times daily. I noticed horribly foul smelling bowel movements and a sudden improvement in joint pain reduction. My urine went from a dark, foaming to a clear and no foam.
Red meat does not cause gout. Carbohydrates do. I'm glad you found something to help, but red meat is not a reason for developing gout.
Look into oxalates in food too.
You got the best remedy for these stones. Works everytime. Include diuretics in your diet.
@@atrifle8364 I will! Thank you!
@@w1975b I have just always been told that about red meat.
Merry Christmas Dr. Berg and fam. ❤thank you for another amazing year of your beneficial knowledge , great content, and wisdom like no other. celebrating a day makes all you do for us seem special. i appreciate you so much. and humbly thankful ,
Thank you very much for your comment. Greatly appreciate it. Merry Christmas!
As an Ophthalmologist of 37 years I can tell you cataracts are not caused by calcification. As a kidney stone patient, I will verify that they are awful! If you get kidney stones, ABSOLUTELY have your parathyroid hormone level checked. If you happen to have a tumor in a parathyroid gland, removing that tumor can solve your kidney stone issue forever. A superb parathyroid tumor center is in Tampa, run by Dr. Norman.
Just by looking at the number of views and subs if people can have the ability to choose who they would like to have as their doctor, then you have the answer. A doctor who educates you and encourages you to believe in your abilities. And by staying healthy you can focus all your energy into this beautiful thing called LIFE. As always thank you Dr. Eric
I am surprised that you did not mention avoiding high oxalate foods. After passing a kidney stone where the medical community offered no advise on how to avoid every developing another one, I did a lot of research and found that high oxalate foods are the cause. I eat a very healthy diet due to not having a sense of taste, smell or hunger, all of which I lost after suffering a TBI. So, I only ate to fuel my body and the foods that I chose where all of the super foods that are also high in oxalates.
Thank you for this information.
And all seed oils
I know you won't listen but I hear you I have stones too- but avoiding these VERY BENEFITICIAL foods isn't the answer. Work on building digestion, and lemon water/citrate. Do avoid spiinach it's super high in oxalates, but eat your greens. Look at studies of long lived folks around the world....
@@YogaBlissDance there's nothing essential in those plant foods that can't be found elsewhere.
What's an Irish potato?
@@Original22 spinach and kale i think beet roots are the major culprit
It is a wonder any of us is still alive.
So true
Dr Berg thanks for putting your all on your researching to update your UA-cam followers, we love your professionalism,and patience to explain this information,Dr Berg my favorite Dr.😊
Very glad to be of help.
I'd like to add one thing in preventing kidney stones.
In February 2020, an awful crisis triggered a sepsis schock. Emergencies had a narrow escape in saving my life.
Since then I have everyday capsules of Chanca Piedra + Lemon + Apple Cider Vinegar, and my kidneys are now totally ok.
God bless and have a happy new year.
Merry Christmas Dr. Berg and Dr. Bergs crew! I love each and everyone of you 💝
Thank you very much. Merry Christmas!!!
At age 45, I suddenly started getting occasional kidney stones. Nothing changed in my diet or lifestyle. The only difference is that I started taking the Bactrim antibiotic about once a year. I was taking Bactrim because I would get "traveler's diarrhea" each year during my annual Mexico vacation. I had read Bactrim helped this. At the time, I was able to find an article online that said it was one of the possible side effects of Bactrim. Since then, I have noticed that I tend to get kidney stones after taking any type of antibiotic. I mentioned this to my urologist and he thought I was crazy.
wow really great information Dr Berg - makes A LOT of sense ... thank you for staying current and sharing new findings
This is so educational. Thank you Dr.
You're very welcome.
I’ve had about 15 kidney stones in my life but none in the past 5 years. I have all of the issues you mentioned so this makes a lot of sense to me.
Hope the information here will help you. Thanks for watching!
This makes sense to me. I’ve been trying to pass a 5mm stone the last 12 days, I also have tinnitus and got a stye in my eye 3 days ago. I will immediately start on the protocol listed near the end of the video. Thanks Dr Berg!
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Good 👍 Some of his earlier videos on kidneys stones, on tinnitus and on eyes stye will also help ❤
Love how he makes everthing so easy to understand. The way I see it, we need to get back to live more natural to avoid these nasty illnesses
This was very educating and put the puzzle together that much more! Thank u!
I boil 1 lemon 2 chunks of garlic and a finger size chunkof ginger make 1 gallon put in fridge and drink before bed every night you will never need a doctor again
lemon peel as well?
Twice I have suffered stones in my salivary glands
Much appreciation.. I tell you.. I have had kidney stones numerous times. The 1st time I honestly thought I was bitten by a poisoness spider. I could not comprehend the pain. I was crying like a baby. Kidney stone pain.. It's a pain that takes your breath away. I wish it upon no one. I have had kidney stones probably 6 times since 2009.. Roughly once every 2 years.
Apple cider vinegar and lemon juice helps enormously.
You never cease to amaze me. Thank you
I’ve had two of those bad boys! Talk about ‘Misery dipped in sheet’ painful as hell! Have had many docs tell me they are more painful than giving birth. Someone sent me a balloon that said “Congrats, it’s a stone!”
Yes, the back pain of delivering a baby is similar to the back pain of delivering a kidney stone. I've had two of each. 😃
Yeah, you can't get comfortable no matter what position you are in. I tell people it feels like a hot poker sticking in your back.
@@helgabruin2261 bless your dear heart.. im sorry
@@1Vettefan yes, always told people felt like a knife was in my back
Yeah, anything big enough, but having to go through a narrow channel to get out is not fun to experience.
Merry Christmas!! Great information, thank you Dr. Berg!
Thanks so much for all your excellent work and precious time to bring hope and relief and prevention to everybody at the most affordable price . I‘ve been mentioning and recommending your channel and your deliberate solutions to many people already,
Have a delightful Christmas and health and success for 2023 and beyond, you and your loved.ones and contributors.
Cheers from Berlin-Neukölln
Dr berg, you're hitting on all points with me. I just discovered that I have a small kidney stone. Along with that I have a tartar formation on my teeth which will not go away. On top of that I just learned that my gallbladder is full of gallstones. This all spells calcium. I'm going to jump on this program immediately. Thank you again.
I’m currently living with a stent jj stent inside,it was put a week ago,the pain was so unbearable during the first 1-4 days I couldn’t even sleep I will have to visit the hospital again on the 11th of October so that the break the stone which is 13mm i can’t wait to get this over with so that i can go back to my normal life again.
Oxalates!!!! Could it be the 8-9 cups of greens you recommend??? Like spinach, chard and beet greens...
Makes sense and answers a lot of questions and clarify many assumptions.
I'm an "almost," elderly man, with a list of health issues. I'm happy 'and scared,' to have found this chanel, and I'm learning a lot from it.
Thanks Doc!
I know what you mean, but glad you found the channel, he’s very knowledgeable. I also like Ken Berry MD.
@@cornflowertoile3026 Hi there!
I like your name. Are you NDN?
It's hard for a 'paleface,' like myself to know exactly how to address an NDN.
Some just use NDN. other more traditional or more 'americanized,' terms.
But anyway, Cornflower is lovely...
Merry Christmas Dr Berg, thanks for all you do for us.
Very glad to be of help.
I love that you keep searching and questioning the facts
Excellent video and very informative about what current research is discovering about the actual causes of kidney stones and what we can do as part of our diet to combat them. The citrate information matches what I have been learning from my own research. The bacteria origin and other things the bacteria has been found to be associated with does make sense.
You always make a video regarding problems I have, you read minds Dr Berg 😂
We all have these human defects! Godspeed
My wife and I, without thinking, follow all of the noted steps to eliminate kidney stones. All of them - not so much fasting, but we eat well anyway. We've never had problems, before or after we met, with stones or calcifications of any sort. Now, I know why.
BTW - we tried the skin tag remedy in another video. Worked within one day. Garlic and Iodine. Go find that video if you have tags.
Happy New year Dr. Berg and Mrs. Berg. Thank you for your wonderful advice. 🥦🧄🥕
Thank you for another great video. Can you do one on the role of oxalates in gut issues, and also oxalated dumping? I think eating a lot of swiss chard, almond products, and other high oxalate foods contributed to me getting Microscopic Colitis a few years ago.
You need to heal your gut- the foods are healthy it's your ability to digest.
I’m a chronic stone former. I had 2 surgeries to remove large ones and I’ve passed over 300 stones. So i have some experience and i can say with 100% certainty that drinking lots of water does NOT work! I’ve been drinking 2.5 liters of water a day for many years and still form stones. I’ve discovered that the opposite is actually true. If at any point during a day you become slightly dehydrated then your kidneys tend to expel any stones but if you drink lots of water they do not get expelled. Example: don’t drink water in the morning and then do an intense workout and you will expel stones within 24 hours guaranteed. Stones can’t form that fast so this means they were formed previously. The momentary mild dehydration and exercise act to expel them.
I can also promise you that bottled lemon juice is 100% NOT effective! I have been drinking huge amounts of bottled lemon juice with my water for years and still formed stones. The lemons MUST be fresh or the citrate pills seem to work much better.
Also i recently began taking citrate supplements because i don’t believe that you can obtain enough citrate from lemons to have any significant effect of the stones. However, Dr Berg is 100% correct about the detox side effect from using citrate. After about 10 days i became VERY sick to my stomach with diarrhea and intense stomach pain and i felt terrible. I stopped the citrate pills and fasted and i was fine within 24 hours. Now I’m starting the citrate again but a MUCH lower dosage.
I also don’t believe the garlic has any significant effect on these microbes because I’ve been eating garlic religiously for years with every meal and i still produced stones.
I believe the citrate supplements are the secret key to expelling the microbes and to prevent stone formation.
And i also can confirm that my knee joints started getting stiff, my eyesight became worse at the same time my body was forming stones. I never thought about it before but he is 100% correct!
Mere left kidney me 15mm ki stone thi aur ureter me 9 mm ki thi mujhe kabhi kabhi bohat dard bhi hota tha accidty ki bhi taklif thi mai roj soch ta tha kya kru kuch hal hi nahi mil raha tha docotor bolte the iska ek hi illaj hai operation aur mujhe operation se dar lagta tha mujhe kisi ki comment dikhi youtube pe maine uski comment dekh kr medicine mangwaya Flipkart se khadnol+livcon capsule and khadnol syrap shurvat me mujhe yakin nahi tha maine medicine shuri ki 1 month me mera 10mm ka stone 7mm ka hogya aur 3month baad sonography krke chek kiya mere sare stone nikal gye,best dawa hai.👍👍V,
I started generating stones (calcium oxalate) after receiving a series of high-dose vitamin C (100 grams) intravenous treatments from a Naturopath. Initially 8 stones formed. That was 15 years ago, and on average I’ve passed a stone every 3 years since then.
I’m now taking malic acid daily, drink lemon water and stay hydrated. Hoping to ward off further stones.
Some of his earlier videos on stones may help ❤
