Hey Dr. Ekberg, I have a couple of questions. You mentioned in this video that one of the issues with the liver is that it isn’t producing enough bile therefore fat stays in the liver. I watched other video of yours where you mentioned that apple cider vinegar helps with producing more bile. Is that the best way to remedy this? (Outside of good ole diet and exercise). Also, if you do take some apple cider vinegar regularly, will your body adapt and stop making as much bile than before? Thanks!
@@mercyln9090 Allow me to insert my non-professional experience. I had the worst diet for a couple of months. My food was nearly 100% processed all the time. I went cold turkey on November 1st. The first three days I had a slight head ache and sleep was often interrupted because of frequent bathroom visits. I also had a bit of trouble during morning hours to fast. I ate a little something at around 10.00h in the morning instead of waiting until noon. That only lasted for a week. From the second week on, I have no trouble whatsoever respecting my fast (min. 16/8) and I'm never hungry, which is miraculous since I've been a binge eater for a long time. Eating enough fat is crucial to avoid the cravings.
Dr. Sten Ekberg, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You really reminded me on the importance of living a healthy life. I've been abusing my body for a while and thanks to you I stopped. Wish you the best!
Excellent instructor! When a layman in the room with no background with medical terminology can ACTUALLY understand what he's saying, you know he did a great job.
"Absolutely agree! Breaking down complex topics into something everyone can understand is a true skill. A great instructor makes knowledge accessible to all-sounds like a masterclass! 👏

(fix your root causes)
@Taiwo Omotosho Nope. Itʻs still a sugar. Look into stevia, monkfruit, erythritol, and if you donʻt have dogs, xylitol. (Xylitol is very poisonous to dogs. I have it, but I hide it from myself so I donʻt use it very often, and only with recipes that I would never share with my dog.) Dried fruit, fresh fruit, honey, maple syrup, agave, "table sugar," coconut sugar, any other kind of sugar, all has to go.
Wow, I had no idea the liver could show warning signs like these-this is eye-opening! Everyone needs to watch this to protect their health before it’s too late.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for schooling me on my liver. I was diagnosed with NAFLD a decade ago. After seeing 2 gastroenterologists and having my gallbladder removed, they offered no real solution except to lose 10% of my body weight. No nutritional guidance, nothing. It is because of doctors like you that I am steered in the right direction. I started transitioning to a Ketogenic Diet and going to do some Intermittent Fasting and I'm on my way. Why can't traditional physicians think more outside the box instead of lining their pockets and advocating for the pharmaceuticals? Their oaths are to us, not the stock markets. Thank you so much.
as someone who sees doctors on a monthly basis due to Autoimmune diseases, now for 13 years, I can say with certainty that so called Traditional Doctors today work at keeping you sick, not to heal you. they do this to keep you on the pharmaceutical treadmill.
- if nobody ever gets sick, we won’t need to visit physicians and all the doctors will need to get a new line of work. The more people get unhealthy and sick, more profitable the doctors will become.
@@corymichael8445 You can do high protein keto without a gallbladder. I know several people who have had success, but they watch "what fats" they eat very carefully. Lots of salmon and avocados. NO fried foods and certainly no seed oils, which is healthier for all of us. The problem is the low fat foods are generally high sugar.
After dropping sugar, vegetable oil and processed foods (after a hemorrhagic stroke) and starting to fast, my health improved massively, including losing lifelong allergies. I never understood why the allergies disappeared until now. Thanks! By the way, it was you, Jason Fung, Robert Lustig, Tim Noakes and the channels What I've Learned and low carb down under who really changed and improved my life and health the most. Thank you!
I've always had problems with vegetable oil, especially fried foods, drying out my fingernails and skin. Now that I've greatly increased my anti-oxidants I can tolerate some added oils, but frying is out.
Any updates on your condition? Praying for your healing. Jesus still heals, we pray for someone that only had six months to live; he’s had 3 checkups and the cancer is gone. God wants us to take care of our bodies; put Him first before anything & anyone. Merry Christmas
Juice lemons, beets, celery, carrot,pineapple dump in smoothie with greens and low sugar berries with yogurt and unsweetened coconut milk. Drink whole lemon and ginger juice with a splash of grapefruit all freshly juiced daily add water and drink it up everyday (freeze in smaller mason jars if doing bulk) eat cucumbers with virgin olive oil minced garlic fresh in it and vinegar plus spices and eat them daily yum!
I wish I would have heard of all your talks on the liver when my gallbladder was removed 20 years ago… I’m praying I can keep from getting cirrhosis now. I’m watching everything you have on the liver now.
Dear Dr. Sten Ekberg. I can not believe that your information is free to the public. You are doing great service for the common regular people . Thanks again.
Educating the public on health issues is such a wonderful deed, and you do it so well. Thank you for your great contribution to good health, great happiness and abundant living.
My daughter was diagnosed last May with inflammatory breast cancer. She was a 34 year old breastfeeding mom of a 9 month old baby with no history of breast cancer in the family. It had moved very quickly and metastasized to the liver. She had 5 months of weekly chemo as well as targeted and immunological therapies and as of November her PET Scan was clear - no sign of cancer! We know this will be a journey, but are so thankful that she is able to catch her breath. She as no more chemo but will still be on therapies that will target pathways and decrease estrogen production. Dr. Ekberg, I think you are an amazing teacher. Do you have any particular ad
I was told decades ago that toxins from deodorants commonly placed under the arms are responsible for breast cancer. My mom and I haven’t used deodorants for years. We use natural remedies.
I get itchy feet and hands, all the time, and, sometimes, my vision gets worse, than other times. I don't have good vision at night, either. I have been taking milk thistle. I never thought your liver could have anything to do with vision. Thank you. I am trying to learn to live healthy, this channel is such a help. The advice you are giving, millions of people, for free, is actually priceless. I am learning so much, and I am even watching some videos more than once. I do have fatigue, and I do get the right shoulder pain.
Drank heavily from 20 to 27 because I thought that’s just what you do as a young adult. All my college friends did the same. Doctor told me if I continue , by next year I could start getting severe cirrhosis (had inflammation already but didn’t have symptoms). I quit and now I’m back to normal. It can REGENERATE if you treat the liver well
The visual clarity of this video is excellent! We notice you paying attention to not only your high quality message, but audio, lighting and production quality too. So many thanks!
I saw a specialist about 4 yrs ago who told me I had chronic liver disease, non-alcoholic. from an old medication I had been put on to help me sleep due to having chronic insomnia. Dr told me I was going to die, my liver was 3 times its normal size, that because I was a type 2 diabetic, I wouldn't be able to get a liver transplant, and I was AB - Blood group. So I went home did juice fasts and went onto a heap of vitamins, 4 yrs later I'm still here. it plays up from time to time, but this specialist didn't even want to see me again, SMH what kind of Dr tells a patient there going to die and nothing can be done for you, then refuses to see you again.
It's always important to respect your doctors. To listen without interrupting, to follow their instructions, to question but without being argumentative, aggressive or confrontational. Doctors may see a myriad of "abstract" people every day and do well to remain calm, naturally their patience and tolerance is tried. However off all you do is polite and respectful and still they're the offender! They deserve all they get. Be sure you are stable, respectful and not confrontational.
Awesome. It's taken me years to gain most of the knowledge he presented here, and he did it in 22mins, compact, beautifully presented and totally understandable.
These symptoms are serious reminders of how much our liver impacts our overall health. Detoxing the liver is key-real food, sulfur-rich veggies, and cutting out sugar and alcohol are game-changers. Small, consistent changes can make a huge difference!
I've been binge watching your vidros dr Ekberg and they truly opened up my eyes. Thank u for being so thorough. My dad passed away because of liver cancer. Had we known the symptoms of liver malfunction, maybe hewould have more time to get the treatment... I appreciate what you do, keep educating us, doctor
What a help. Seriously, when he gives all the symptoms, it really helps issues you might not realize, from the itching, to the allergies, to the diarrhea. No doctor has tied these together for me before. Now, I would really like to see more on the healing.
Wow, such an informative video. 1000 times better than all the superficial articles on the web because your video provides EXPLANATIONS what an organ does, why it is important and how to make it function better. Keep going with videos, will be keen on watching
A great video, thank you for explaining this complicated subject so well. I had liver and bile duct inflammation caused by a reaction to penicillin and the failure of my doctor to take notice of my symptoms. I had most of the symptoms you've discussed. It's taken nearly 3 years to recover from.
Thank you for this wonderful information. I hope you can also post a topic regarding non infectious hepatitis that was acquired through vertical transmission.
Medical Doctors are not here to cure your ailments. They are here to manage your health problems so you will be constant costumer. Look at what’s happening now! Most MDs know the jabs are causing problems but they are just laughing all the way to the bank. Good to have a Naturopathic Doc here to help.
My father was an alcoholic for all my life a functioning one for the first 25 years and not functioning the other 4. I always warned him about liver cirrhosis about 8 years ago his bloodwork was okay, but the doctor told him it is okay now. Flashforward 8 years. I found him on his bathroom floor in a big pool of blood. He passed away from a GI bleed caused by liver cirrhosis... he died a few days before he would have been admitted to a rehab facility for the first time in his life.
Sad to hear this. A month ago my brother suffered a GI bleed from a gastric varices. He survived, but was diagnosed with Cirrhosis and therefore portal hypertension. Had to be treated at a major hospital to fix varices, but he has several more to deal with. As a nurse I’ve seen many patients pass from cirrhosis, and it’s a terrible way to go.
I started getting videos about the liver a couple days ago. I got to say I found this one very fascinating and very well done. UA-cam is smart pushing these videos out near New Year's Eve. Might have saved someone's life.
Since my mind is also foggy, I forgot to say how much I admire you, and all that you do. You look a lot like my dad that was a Otolaryngologist and died from diabetes and cardiovascular disease this year. I am glad you know to protect yourself from this terrible disease and I hope you will help us too! Thank you for everything that you do! Listenig to you is like being at the University courses again!!!
UA-cam is my official doctor, and I get nervous when my doc recommends these videos to me. But, they're a thousand times more helpful than my actual resident doctor in Ontario is. It's not the doctors fault though, because it takes a long time to accurately diagnose and determine the real issues. Thanks for the vid.
Woah, your channel has really taken off! I remember when you only had a few thousand views per video. People are hungry for this knowledge. I'm so happy to see this!
THANK YOU so much-you have taught me enough that I told my doctor that I had fatty liver disease instead of him telling ME. Your videos helped educate me to the point where I was able to ask for the correct tests, advocate for myself, understand the results of the tests, and being to reverse the damage I've done to my liver by eating so poorly for so long. Thank you so much, doctor.
Its been my experience that when I go in and tell the doctor what I have. They literally want to test for anything but. Almost like they dont want to be told, they want to tell you. Kinda like a power trip.
It seems like all these docs know how to do these days is prescribe drug after drug, so it’s very important for YOU to be in control of YOUR body and know what you’re putting in it. If you live on fast food, we’ll guess what- you will have health issues. It’s so important to try and eat as clean as you can. And unfortunately the US allows hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides in our food so I’m sure we’re the most unhealthy country.
That the bile in the gall bladder helps break down fat is an eye opener! It's so frustrating that this was never explained when I was diagnosed with mild NAFLD after having my gall bladder removed ! Thank you!
I agree if I knew this before hand I wouldn't had made that decision to have mine remove. They just want to remove it thats how they pain, I'm sure my dr knew this.🤑
And if you want to get rid of your liver and Gallbladder stones do a series of flushes. Check out Dr.Andre Mortiz liver/gallbladder flush protocol. It works
Dr. Ekberg: please consider going into academia. You're extremely good at presenting things in an easy to understand format. Invaluable skills for a good teacher. The material you present here should be the basis for all medical school students. Currently there is no nutrition in the medical school curriculum (not talking about what they teach in nutrition as a major). All medical doctors should understand the link and relationship between our bodies and nutrition, and not just identify symptoms and treat with medication. Goal should be to avoid symptoms.
There's a reason doctors aren't taught nutrition... research the Rockefellers...they purposely took over and dictated the medical education and pharmaceutical industry. Doctors are purposely and strategically taught(and given financial incentives) to push pills...not nutrition. It's NOT an oversight! Were on our own
Just as Jeff Dungey said, this guy is better off staying as far away from academia as possible. Pharma is academia and academia is Pharma, and Pharma's kyptonite is narturopath/holistic living.
You need to understand who creates curriculum in medical schools, how political that process is including the hierarchal power structures that own expertise. Why would they want him when the job of the Industrial Medical Complex is to sell expensive treatments and products to the American public? Standards of Care dictate treatments and they don't include eating beets. These outliers are the only hope for wellness - a word not used in allopathic medicine.
You are the best. I am 57 and in great shape. -My first day of GKR was 32 0.1 Ketones 95 Glucose - -Second day after 24 fast 23. -3rd day after 26hr fast GKI 3.71 with1.4 Ketones 86 glucose -got the meter that records both THANK YOU YOU ARE CHANGING MY LIFE. -ps this is my very first comment ever and a watch a lot of UA-cam
Wow, this is such an informative video! I was diagnosed with fatty liver but my doctor didn't share anything to help me heal it. Thank you for this video and I'll be sure to share it with others.
My Dr never said anything. I read my chart and it said severe non alcoholic liver disease. I asked the doctor at the next appointment and he just said lose weight as an aside. Just blew me off, I felt. Nothing at all to help me.
@@katkameo6413 Exactly, Same with my Dr. I read my chart on a MRI and the radiologist drew attention to the liver while checking lungs after Covid. I had to bring it up to my Dr. and he blew it off as Fatty liver disease.
Fabulous! I wish my doctor had explained HH (hereditary hemochromosis) as clearly as you had. Surprisingly, many physicians are unfamiliar with it (took my dr. 4 years to figure it out). I was also unaware about the right shoulder connection to liver damage. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! You are a wonderful educator and I truly appreciate your posts!
I started with prebiotics. Then I cut out carbs and tocix *vegetable oils* through fasting (mostly) for 3-4 days. During the time I fasted i had daily BMs... one day I had several bowel movements. I couldn't understand why - they were yellowish. Now I'm guessing my liver started to detox. Now I need to move forward to healing. Since then I have moved to organic and pasture raised/grass fed. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤❤❤
Don’t even know why I watched this but you kept me interested right to the end and if I take notice you maybe gave me years on my life. Thank you for a great, informative video. Sugar and alcohol, I’ve got to get that sorted. Thanks again.
Thank you for making videos that educate me about my liver. I just had some blood test done and my Doctor had some questions about my liver. I took another blood test and it was a false alarm. Learning more about the liver is life giving and it warns me to watch out for bad foods and habits. I love every video you produce to educate me. I can now spend more time working on healing or correcting my bad habits in my years of retirement. 🤗
I really like what you said about fatigue and the body being in a healing state. I've been so tired and needing so much more sleep the past few months and my liver has been hurting. This makes so much sense now. I am missing YIN energy I just know it. Pushing too hard for too long.
Oh God Me too its been pushed and it's so tired. Look up Medical Medium you'll get your liver back. This doctor is great 👍but his getting all his information from The medical medium. My liver will heal after listening to medical medium. Goodluck we are all in this together
@@PP-qi1nk can you send me the link please? thanks. My liver is a little better, I've been doing lemon morning and night and only one coffee a day but it's still not great. I'm allergic to Milk thistle.
Just take note that those systems that you are having could also be many of things, I had all those and come to find out it was my Iron was to low it was a 4 the Dr. ask me how i get out of bed cause i had no energy i told him very carefully our Iron is suppose to be 15 or highter so i had to have Iron infusions for 10 weeks so if you are tired alot think about that also
This is exactly the situation I'm in. So much so my jaw dropped, so I had to comment. If you have any advice or tips please share if you can. I'm seriously nervous/anxious over it. I can't stop I have to keep going, My daughters life depends on it.
I agree it’s the best. I discovered I have hemochromatosis 7 yrs ago, but after starting with flobotomy it was suspended in a month Bcs although my ferritin was still high, my red blood cells went down to the anemic level So I’m back to step 1 and my ferritin is up to 1,400 :(
I have high ferritin so I’ve donated blood twice 8 weeks apart since I discovered this but the second time I donated I started to feel short of breath and weak.
Thanks. I have been diagnosed with fatty liver several years ago. I can relate to the effects it has on you mentally and physically. A lot of what you said ive heard from my Gastroenterologist. I like your simple straight forward presentation of the liver.
Fatty liver can be reduced but it takes two or three years depending on how severe it is. Kale and blueberry shakes are great ways to heal the liver but cutting out sugar and carbs is a must- especially processed sugar and carbs!
Thank You @stevewhalen6973 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I got diagnosed with hemochromatosis 4 years ago purely by the chance of my doctor asking for blood liver test. I was over 20X normal level. After a few visits blood letting my levels are now normal. Had a fibro scan test on my liver which showed little or no damage.
Thank you so much for a clear understandable presentation to show the importance and value of the liver. More importantly, thank you for the solutions, what to eat and what not to eat. Blessings and gratitude for your vast valuable work for humanity. Namaste
So grateful that I heard this video, you’ve described everything I’ve been experiencing for almost a year. Now the distention started, and is unbearable. Thank you for this post. 🙏🏼
Unbelieveble- I have this shoulder pain since ages and the doctors can't find out what it is. I went on a diet avoiding sugar cause my blood sugar was a bit high and the pain passed off!! None of the doctors even remotely suggested what you are saying. Ive had 10 of these signs!! Thank you. I will definitely be following you from now on.
Thank you Dr.Sten for this amazing breakdown of liver function. You are a good teacher and i have a much better understanding of this incredible organ now. God bless you
Amazing lecture so full of beneficial health info. All the meds, sugar, process foods, seed fats, and high carbs we put in our body cause long term damage. Our own PCP would not tell us the harms of pumping us with long term meds will do to our vital organs. The healing profession has change greatly bc more people are getting sick with diseases and not being educated on real health solutions just needing to pump people with meds a slow poison. This man is an amazing speaker! He doesn't rush through any of his presentations nor does he ask for donations at the end of his video. Thank you for sharing with us your insightful knowledge.
Played the video at 1.5 speed and can still testify this is the most I got from a youtube video on this topic. Now I wish he was also my stats professor.
Thank you for this clear message... I have had an escalation of symptoms to this point covering four decades. The reason I’m here is I also have great recuperative skills. It all adds up but the little bits do accumulate... arteritis, a recent stent, cataracts, bloating, edemia etc... thanks for the reminder.
Speaking as someone who actually has been diagnosed with Hemochromatosis I have to have a venesection (blood drain every 9 months aka bloodletting), so this is really useful for me as it wasn't properly explained what this entails, but this video has given me major insight. Many thanks!
@@missg3188 I kept feeling tired, drained, getting forgetful, so I went to the doctors who did a full blood test as I felt something wasn't right. After the blood test they found that I had excessive iron levels in my blood caused by a malfunctioning gene. They diagnosed me with Hemochromatosis and have had to have blood letting since. Think I've had this now for the past 8 years. Whether this actually is Hemochromatosis I don't know, but that is what I got diagnosed with!
Hi everyone my husband was diagnosed with hemo and then into a subgroup called polycythemia, big words,both treated by blood letting. He has never felt sick but we do know a man who was deathly sick in a hospital for months and I also have a girlfriend with it. I understand also that people with this need to be on guard for various blood cancers. The most annoying thing for us is doctor forgetting to send requisition forms to the lab.
You have just provided us valuable information! My hubby who is on the borderline of fat liver disease does experience shoulder pain and diarrhea. He didn’t know why but will know soon! Thank you for a great video!
Thank you Doctor..this is one of your most important teaching for overall health and knowledge of the liver and importance of signs and symptoms that can lead too extreme health problems...thank you again...
@@drekberg hey Dr I am still wanting to know what are sulfur foods? My gallbladder is removed also. I have 4 of your 10 signs. I would appreciate an answer.
Thank you so much Dr Ekberg, I really really enjoyed listening to you, and knowing that you talk such a lot of sense too. I’m still on my 30-days of no sugar. And I thank you for this. Please stay safe and well too. Mags
continuing with my statement below it emphasizes the fact that when it's your time to go even if you play by the rules you're going to depart this life so everybody needs to be prepared spiritually to meet Christ
Thanks so much for having the absolute best balance of information/explanation/helpfulness. Without having any tests done, I actually feel a bit better about the condition of my liver based on what I've seen here -- but I know that I still have changes to make into habits. The good thing is that I'm not at a "point of no return" and still have time to make changes.
Also, it should be noted, this Dr. is sharing honest info. unlike the majority of the greedy For Profit Medical Industry. Let us get cooking and follow the path to live longer. Press
Nada absolute or best about this, it’s so untrue, it’s a fact that áłł ánimàł pròds are unnatural and detrimental to one’s body, the most tòkśik things one could ever èat, also beyond śácriłegíuous, and plant protein is the right type of protein that the body needs - I eat a lot of soy and legumes and my wœnds hèaled faster than ever, so the rebuilding idea is also ns!
If anything, they are exactly what cáuse liver pròbłems and almost all other pròbłems - fructose and sugar don’t cáuse anything, I eat a lot of sugar, and I have no h. pròbłems, the only thing that sugar can do is, if consumed in very hígh amounts, it can give someone temporary toothache, but that’s about it!
Dr. Ekberg, thank you for this video. It has changed my life regarding my health issues. I will begin my detoxification when I wake up tomorrow. You inspired me to take charge of my liver and my life. I am no longer waiting for physicians/Rx to drag me through each day. However, in conjunction with my physicians, I will begin my new journey. EVERYTHING in your video is happening to me right now. My prayers to you and everyone who benefit from this video. Awesome blessings for all. Amen
@Dr. Sten Ekberg You are so articulate and thorough! Thank you for this detailed and clear explanation!! We need more health care practitioners like you!
I have been telling these doctors that I am having liver problems they said you liver has some fat but it goes with age I am only fifty. I want to get healthy and stay here as long as I can for my family.
@Robanz ZZ me too. There have been some strange recommendations from their algorithm that were uncanny…videos about people that do not sleep through the night…hmmm..how did they know that?:)
I have got also recommendation from UA-cam and started my journey with keto diet. After 3 months lost 13 kg of weight. Thank you Dr. Ekberg, thanks UA-cam.
Thank you for this . I have been diagnosed with a liver that does't want to function because the bile duct was plugged with stones and my pancreus is atrophied and doesn't work at all . I learn something by watching this so I am going to watch the next one .
I suffered a lot of these issues but didn't get any help from various doctors I visited. I decided to go vegan and stuck to a lot of dark greens, then cut out bread. It made a massive difference and now if I have more than a minimal amount of sugar or wheat I have itchy feet and skin issues. Finally I understand why. This is the information all doctors should be giving out rather than drugs or brushing people off until they are sick enough to give expensive drugs to.
You won't last long as a vegan. You will start losing your hair, rotting teeth, bulging eyes, wasting muscles and possibly a stroke. You have carnivore teeth for a reason. It never ceases to amaze me how people can have no clue as to how to eat like a human.
Thank you! 🥰 For those wondering how to increase their sulfur intake, here are some recommendations: * Meat and poultry: especially beef, ham, chicken, duck, turkey, and organ meats like heart and liver. * Fish and seafood, including scallops and mussels * Legumes
Just wanted to thank you Dr Ekberg for providing the information you do on the liver and even on all the other subjects you cover as well so informative and helpful keep up the great work you do. Many Thanks
Dr. Edberg, this is the best video I have seen on this topic. You present the material very well. You are easy to listen to and don't come across as arrogant. Great job!
Dr. Ekberg, can you pls. Discuss about the cons or what lies ahead for people who had their gall bladder surgically removed , or cholecystectomy. What are the food to watch out for and what are things to watch out for. Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God bless!
The irony that I have seen in life is that some people obey all the rules never drank never smoked and end up with liver cancer cirrhosis of the liver and lung cancer. I do believe that you should do what you should do to maintain health and quit doing the things that destroy your health, your health is your wealth.
@@jimmybaldbird3853 Needed a change, I have been intermittent fasting (falling off wagon occasionally) for several years. ADF is extreme, but at this junction I feel I need it. I have done all of the protocols at some point in time. Thanks for asking.
In case you were wondering what food you can eat to get a lot of sulfur or the antioxidant glutathione, Brussel sprouts are very high in sulfur similar to broccoli, cabbage ect. For the best health benefits they are best eaten raw, however it is much easier to eat broccoli raw than it is brussel sprouts. I love this channel! I learn so much every time I involve myself here, & I do have a very keen interest in biology & food related topics. I can't wait to make this year the year I'm in tip top shape!
I've been taking thyroxin due to a high tsh and was saddened to learn that I shouldn't eat cruciferous veggies as they interfere with thyroxin. Never mind; I still eat them sometimes.
This is amazing! I am 90 days into a carnivore diet, and I was just thinking the other day that my seasonal allergies haven't kicked in yet. I wonder if my carnivore liver detox is the reason...
Always good information from here. I didn't think I'd have to worry too much, being on keto and fasting already. Real food at the right time does a lot.
Man i just returned from saying goodbye to my friend who is now in hospice for liver disease. He has every one of these conditions it seems. Thanks DR. E.
Dr. Ekberg coulg you please make a video on constipation, reasons, treatments, what to eat/do, excersices? I am sure many other health champions can benefit from your thought on this topic. Thank you.
Fiber like someone suggested can make it worse. My daughter was pretty much born with constipation.We tried countless things that did little to nothing. What did work was Magnesium and vitamin C. Also balancing her minerals like calcium, zinc, and others. Taking vitamin D3 helped as well.
I suffered from constipation most of my life. By simply stopping drinking coffee and tea and substituting that with water I've never been constipated again. I'm now regular every morning for the past year.
Hey there Doctor Ekberg, I have been doing Omad and ditched added sugar for around 6 weeks and my yellow eyes and the brown staines in my skin around my mouth have faded away almost completely, so Im sticking forever to IF, thank you so much your videos!
I've experienced some of the symptoms and not once have I been told that they may be related to the liver. I might have to switch my primary doctor. I'll definitely cut down on Pepsi and Coke for sure. Thank you!
I was diagnosed around 2008 with NAFL and never told a thing but "lose weight". Which is the only thing any doctor has ever said to me. Here we are so many yesrs later, still fat. I've been on keto for 6 weeks now.
Hi Doc. On my degree course in Nutrition & Health the lectures dont cover a quarter of the information you get through in one video. And to think I’m paying £9k pa for the course. It makes being a member of your channel pocket change by comparison. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you Garry Rowland. Formal learning is great for the foundation, but we have to remember that there is a difference between learning and getting a degree. First you get the degree, then you learn the stuff that matters.😄

Hey Dr. Ekberg, I have a couple of questions.
You mentioned in this video that one of the issues with the liver is that it isn’t producing enough bile therefore fat stays in the liver. I watched other video of yours where you mentioned that apple cider vinegar helps with producing more bile. Is that the best way to remedy this? (Outside of good ole diet and exercise). Also, if you do take some apple cider vinegar regularly, will your body adapt and stop making as much bile than before? Thanks!
@@mercyln9090 Hello 👏 trust you're doing well and staying safe?
@@riner88 Hello 👏 how are you doing?
@@mercyln9090 Allow me to insert my non-professional experience. I had the worst diet for a couple of months. My food was nearly 100% processed all the time. I went cold turkey on November 1st. The first three days I had a slight head ache and sleep was often interrupted because of frequent bathroom visits. I also had a bit of trouble during morning hours to fast. I ate a little something at around 10.00h in the morning instead of waiting until noon. That only lasted for a week. From the second week on, I have no trouble whatsoever respecting my fast (min. 16/8) and I'm never hungry, which is miraculous since I've been a binge eater for a long time. Eating enough fat is crucial to avoid the cravings.
Dr. Sten Ekberg, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You really reminded me on the importance of living a healthy life. I've been abusing my body for a while and thanks to you I stopped.
Wish you the best!
Excellent instructor! When a layman in the room with no background with medical terminology can ACTUALLY understand what he's saying, you know he did a great job.
I’m allergic to sulpha 😞
Amen.
exactly . so true
"Absolutely agree! Breaking down complex topics into something everyone can understand is a true skill. A great instructor makes knowledge accessible to all-sounds like a masterclass! 👏

@16:45 10) Fatigue. Neuro-Transmitter changes. Metabolism and energy production.
@18:16 Steps to take to heal...
Detox the liver.
Eat real foods. (Plants cleanse. Meat rebuilds.)
More sulfur rich foods. (Glutathione, Cysteine, Choline, & Methionine)
Eliminate sugar, alcohol, and processed foods.
Eliminate toxic medications. (fix your root causes)
@Taiwo Omotosho Not entirely sure. Backstrap molasses has 15g of sugar per tbsp. Depending on your goals, my feeling is no. Good luck.
@Taiwo Omotosho Nope. Itʻs still a sugar. Look into stevia, monkfruit, erythritol, and if you donʻt have dogs, xylitol. (Xylitol is very poisonous to dogs. I have it, but I hide it from myself so I donʻt use it very often, and only with recipes that I would never share with my dog.) Dried fruit, fresh fruit, honey, maple syrup, agave, "table sugar," coconut sugar, any other kind of sugar, all has to go.
Thanks for cutting through all the pointless filler.👍
Appreciate the time stamps. Not all of us have the time.Thank you.
he forgot to add liver falling out
Wow, I had no idea the liver could show warning signs like these-this is eye-opening! Everyone needs to watch this to protect their health before it’s too late.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for schooling me on my liver. I was diagnosed with NAFLD a decade ago. After seeing 2 gastroenterologists and having my gallbladder removed, they offered no real solution except to lose 10% of my body weight. No nutritional guidance, nothing. It is because of doctors like you that I am steered in the right direction. I started transitioning to a Ketogenic Diet and going to do some Intermittent Fasting and I'm on my way. Why can't traditional physicians think more outside the box instead of lining their pockets and advocating for the pharmaceuticals? Their oaths are to us, not the stock markets. Thank you so much.
If you don't have a gall bladder you should be on a low fat diet as you don't have the bile production.
NAAND Dr .ek het n maand trug by my dr gehoor ek het n knop in my lewer .wat betekin dit .ek het nog nooit gerook of gedrink nie .
as someone who sees doctors on a monthly basis due to Autoimmune diseases, now for 13 years, I can say with certainty that so called Traditional Doctors today work at keeping you sick, not to heal you. they do this to keep you on the pharmaceutical treadmill.
- if nobody ever gets sick, we won’t need to visit physicians and all the doctors will need to get a new line of work. The more people get unhealthy and sick, more profitable the doctors will become.
@@corymichael8445 You can do high protein keto without a gallbladder. I know several people who have had success, but they watch "what fats" they eat very carefully. Lots of salmon and avocados. NO fried foods and certainly no seed oils, which is healthier for all of us. The problem is the low fat foods are generally high sugar.
It's like the universe is trying to tell me something. I really needed to hear this right now. I must help my liver and my whole body.
Each one of these videos is like a college course. Really fantastic tutorials. I've learned so much from the doctor.
After dropping sugar, vegetable oil and processed foods (after a hemorrhagic stroke) and starting to fast, my health improved massively, including losing lifelong allergies. I never understood why the allergies disappeared until now. Thanks! By the way, it was you, Jason Fung, Robert Lustig, Tim Noakes and the channels What I've Learned and low carb down under who really changed and improved my life and health the most. Thank you!
Hello Gordon 👏 trust you're doing well and staying safe?
Gordon G, though it was mostly you who you have to thank.
You recognised that you had to make changes and take action.
And you did it, well done!!!!!
I've always had problems with vegetable oil, especially fried foods, drying out my fingernails and skin. Now that I've greatly increased my anti-oxidants I can tolerate some added oils, but frying is out.
Totally, if I don't take herbs for liver, my allergies are out of control
Good on you! The truth shall set you free! : )
I had stage 4 Cirrhosis 4 years ago, now apparently stage 3, got more info from this video than i have from my liver specialist lol ...thank you
This gives me hope!
I agree with Jennifer, your comment gives me hope! I hope your are doing great now!
Haha this is sad, but wonderful to hear 🎉 update?
Any updates on your condition? Praying for your healing. Jesus still heals, we pray for someone that only had six months to live; he’s had 3 checkups and the cancer is gone. God wants us to take care of our bodies; put Him first before anything & anyone. Merry Christmas
Juice lemons, beets, celery, carrot,pineapple dump in smoothie with greens and low sugar berries with yogurt and unsweetened coconut milk. Drink whole lemon and ginger juice with a splash of grapefruit all freshly juiced daily add water and drink it up everyday (freeze in smaller mason jars if doing bulk) eat cucumbers with virgin olive oil minced garlic fresh in it and vinegar plus spices and eat them daily yum!
I wish I would have heard of all your talks on the liver when my gallbladder was removed 20 years ago… I’m praying I can keep from getting cirrhosis now. I’m watching everything you have on the liver now.
Dear Dr. Sten Ekberg. I can not believe that your information is free to the public. You are doing great service for the common regular people . Thanks again.
Would you prefer he starts charging? No? Then 'shut up'.
Educating the public on health issues is such a wonderful deed, and you do it so well. Thank you for your great contribution to good health, great happiness and abundant living.
My daughter was diagnosed last May with inflammatory breast cancer. She was a 34 year old breastfeeding mom of a 9 month old baby with no history of breast cancer in the family. It had moved very quickly and metastasized to the liver. She had 5 months of weekly chemo as well as targeted and immunological therapies and as of November her PET Scan was clear - no sign of cancer! We know this will be a journey, but are so thankful that she is able to catch her breath. She as no more chemo but will still be on therapies that will target pathways and decrease estrogen production. Dr. Ekberg, I think you are an amazing teacher. Do you have any particular ad
Did she get the c19 injection? If do, start your search for the cause there.
Cruciferous vegetables lower estrogen.
@@an-tm3250that was exactly my thought
I was told decades ago that toxins from deodorants commonly placed under the arms are responsible for breast cancer. My mom and I haven’t used deodorants for years. We use natural remedies.
@@telthatruth7533 good advice
I get itchy feet and hands, all the time, and, sometimes, my vision gets worse, than other times. I don't have good vision at night, either. I have been taking milk thistle. I never thought your liver could have anything to do with vision. Thank you. I am trying to learn to live healthy, this channel is such a help. The advice you are giving, millions of people, for free, is actually priceless. I am learning so much, and I am even watching some videos more than once. I do have fatigue, and I do get the right shoulder pain.
Research Sjogren's Syndrome. Your symptoms may match.
As an RN this type of video is right up my street. Well explained. Subscribed.
Drank heavily from 20 to 27 because I thought that’s just what you do as a young adult. All my college friends did the same. Doctor told me if I continue , by next year I could start getting severe cirrhosis (had inflammation already but didn’t have symptoms). I quit and now I’m back to normal. It can REGENERATE if you treat the liver well
How often did you drink ??
Please lmk
@@Virajchaudhari440 2x a week would get drunk, binger

The visual clarity of this video is excellent! We notice you paying attention to not only your high quality message, but audio, lighting and production quality too. So many thanks!
as a kiver cancer survivor who gets treatment /check ups at Moffitt. I think this is a better than average video. Thanks Doc.
Good for u Mickey!! U keep surviving!!!!
I saw a specialist about 4 yrs ago who told me I had chronic liver disease, non-alcoholic. from an old medication I had been put on to help me sleep due to having chronic insomnia. Dr told me I was going to die, my liver was 3 times its normal size, that because I was a type 2 diabetic, I wouldn't be able to get a liver transplant, and I was AB - Blood group. So I went home did juice fasts and went onto a heap of vitamins, 4 yrs later I'm still here. it plays up from time to time, but this specialist didn't even want to see me again, SMH what kind of Dr tells a patient there going to die and nothing can be done for you, then refuses to see you again.
An abusive doctor does this. This conduct violates the Hippocratic oath.
Today's Doctors do this....
It's their truth....
They don't give a care
That's horrible. Ugh Drs...so glad you are well and still here.
It's always important to respect your doctors. To listen without interrupting, to follow their instructions, to question but without being argumentative, aggressive or confrontational. Doctors may see a myriad of "abstract" people every day and do well to remain calm, naturally their patience and tolerance is tried. However off all you do is polite and respectful and still they're the offender! They deserve all they get. Be sure you are stable, respectful and not confrontational.
Not so if the patient is confrontational, unstable, aggressive.@@rubberbiscuit99
Awesome. It's taken me years to gain most of the knowledge he presented here, and he did it in 22mins, compact, beautifully presented and totally understandable.
Agreed!
Its probably took him years too, right ?
True but his getting his information from the medical medium. Good for him sharing it though
Amen to that.
If it took you years then you weren't trying hard enough. Not the sharpest tool in the shed?
Thank you, Dr, Ekberg for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and expertise. God bless you always.

These symptoms are serious reminders of how much our liver impacts our overall health. Detoxing the liver is key-real food, sulfur-rich veggies, and cutting out sugar and alcohol are game-changers. Small, consistent changes can make a huge difference!
I've been binge watching your vidros dr Ekberg and they truly opened up my eyes. Thank u for being so thorough. My dad passed away because of liver cancer. Had we known the symptoms of liver malfunction, maybe hewould have more time to get the treatment... I appreciate what you do, keep educating us, doctor
What a help. Seriously, when he gives all the symptoms, it really helps issues you might not realize, from the itching, to the allergies, to the diarrhea. No doctor has tied these together for me before. Now, I would really like to see more on the healing.
Seriously, yes, never tied these together.
The pain attack in the right shoulder is 100% right observation
Watch dr berg
This is what all doctors SHOULD be telling patients!
My doctors are completely useless i had to go back with research what I did to prove thay wrong otherwise no help your just a number not a patient
Wow, such an informative video. 1000 times better than all the superficial articles on the web because your video provides EXPLANATIONS what an organ does, why it is important and how to make it function better. Keep going with videos, will be keen on watching
A great video, thank you for explaining this complicated subject so well. I had liver and bile duct inflammation caused by a reaction to penicillin and the failure of my doctor to take notice of my symptoms. I had most of the symptoms you've discussed. It's taken nearly 3 years to recover from.
Thank you for this wonderful information. I hope you can also post a topic regarding non infectious hepatitis that was acquired through vertical transmission.
Medical Doctors are not here to cure your ailments. They are here to manage your health problems so you will be constant costumer.
Look at what’s happening now! Most MDs know the jabs are causing problems but they are just laughing all the way to the bank.
Good to have a Naturopathic Doc here to help.
My father was an alcoholic for all my life a functioning one for the first 25 years and not functioning the other 4. I always warned him about liver cirrhosis about 8 years ago his bloodwork was okay, but the doctor told him it is okay now. Flashforward 8 years. I found him on his bathroom floor in a big pool of blood. He passed away from a GI bleed caused by liver cirrhosis... he died a few days before he would have been admitted to a rehab facility for the first time in his life.
Sad to hear this. A month ago my brother suffered a GI bleed from a gastric varices. He survived, but was diagnosed with Cirrhosis and therefore portal hypertension. Had to be treated at a major hospital to fix varices, but he has several more to deal with. As a nurse I’ve seen many patients pass from cirrhosis, and it’s a terrible way to go.
Sorry about your loss. May God give you strength and fill your life with live, peace and happiness!
So sorry🫶🏼
If turned around soon enough even hard core alcoholics can recover the liver is also very resilient
I started getting videos about the liver a couple days ago. I got to say I found this one very fascinating and very well done.
UA-cam is smart pushing these videos out near New Year's Eve.
Might have saved someone's life.
Since my mind is also foggy, I forgot to say how much I admire you, and all that you do. You look a lot like my dad that was a Otolaryngologist and died from diabetes and cardiovascular disease this year. I am glad you know to protect yourself from this terrible disease and I hope you will help us too! Thank you for everything that you do! Listenig to you is like being at the University courses again!!!
I lost my dad this year too
Really inconceivable pain
@@Curdle7 I'm sorry to hear! time will ease the pain, but they will always be in our hearts, part of our lives...
@@pelagia6981 I still wear my Dad`s watch as a daily reminder of him.
UA-cam is my official doctor, and I get nervous when my doc recommends these videos to me. But, they're a thousand times more helpful than my actual resident doctor in Ontario is. It's not the doctors fault though, because it takes a long time to accurately diagnose and determine the real issues.
Thanks for the vid.
Learned more from watching a few of your videos, then I did when I attended medical school years ago. You are very helpful and intelligent.
So you attended and failed med school. What is your point?
That's Sad
You are part of the problem… Doc - tuh. 🙄
@@tomakafrankconlon3207 he didn’t say he failed medical school!
And even if he did, what is YOUR point.
Woah, your channel has really taken off! I remember when you only had a few thousand views per video. People are hungry for this knowledge. I'm so happy to see this!
THANK YOU so much-you have taught me enough that I told my doctor that I had fatty liver disease instead of him telling ME. Your videos helped educate me to the point where I was able to ask for the correct tests, advocate for myself, understand the results of the tests, and being to reverse the damage I've done to my liver by eating so poorly for so long. Thank you so much, doctor.
Its been my experience that when I go in and tell the doctor what I have. They literally want to test for anything but. Almost like they dont want to be told, they want to tell you. Kinda like a power trip.
Let us know what test was given and what I did to reverse.
You had the audacity to self diagnose to your doctor?!
He must have been over the moon... 🫣
It seems like all these docs know how to do these days is prescribe drug after drug, so it’s very important for YOU to be in control of YOUR body and know what you’re putting in it. If you live on fast food, we’ll guess what- you will have health issues. It’s so important to try and eat as clean as you can. And unfortunately the US allows hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides in our food so I’m sure we’re the most unhealthy country.
That the bile in the gall bladder helps break down fat is an eye opener! It's so frustrating that this was never explained when I was diagnosed with mild NAFLD after having my gall bladder removed !
Thank you!
It’s frustrating that we’re not taught this in health class in school.
I just ordered some bile salts recommended by Dr. Eric Berg. He specializes in keto diet. Perhaps that will help my fatty liver as well.
I agree if I knew this before hand I wouldn't had made that decision to have mine remove. They just want to remove it thats how they pain, I'm sure my dr knew this.🤑
And if you want to get rid of your liver and Gallbladder stones do a series of flushes. Check out Dr.Andre Mortiz liver/gallbladder flush protocol. It works
Dr. Ekberg: please consider going into academia. You're extremely good at presenting things in an easy to understand format. Invaluable skills for a good teacher.
The material you present here should be the basis for all medical school students. Currently there is no nutrition in the medical school curriculum (not talking about what they teach in nutrition as a major). All medical doctors should understand the link and relationship between our bodies and nutrition, and not just identify symptoms and treat with medication. Goal should be to avoid symptoms.
There's a reason doctors aren't taught nutrition... research the Rockefellers...they purposely took over and dictated the medical education and pharmaceutical industry. Doctors are purposely and strategically taught(and given financial incentives) to push pills...not nutrition. It's NOT an oversight! Were on our own
Just as Jeff Dungey said, this guy is better off staying as far away from academia as possible. Pharma is academia and academia is Pharma, and Pharma's kyptonite is narturopath/holistic living.
p0
He is not a medical doctor! Holistic doctors just call themselves doctor. I doubt he would be welcomed in academia
You need to understand who creates curriculum in medical schools, how political that process is including the hierarchal power structures that own expertise. Why would they want him when the job of the Industrial Medical Complex is to sell expensive treatments and products to the American public? Standards of Care dictate treatments and they don't include eating beets. These outliers are the only hope for wellness - a word not used in allopathic medicine.

Wow, this is such an informative video! I was diagnosed with fatty liver but my doctor didn't share anything to help me heal it. Thank you for this video and I'll be sure to share it with others.
mine just wants to push statins. :/
I keep refusing them
My Dr never said anything. I read my chart and it said severe non alcoholic liver disease. I asked the doctor at the next appointment and he just said lose weight as an aside. Just blew me off, I felt. Nothing at all to help me.
@@katkameo6413
Exactly, Same with my Dr.
I read my chart on a MRI and the radiologist drew attention to the liver while checking lungs after Covid.
I had to bring it up to my Dr. and he blew it off as Fatty liver disease.
So thankful for the education of this video and comments.
Thank you Doctor,
And everyone else for sharing your experiences and advice on helpful diets
Fabulous! I wish my doctor had explained HH (hereditary hemochromosis) as clearly as you had. Surprisingly, many physicians are unfamiliar with it (took my dr. 4 years to figure it out). I was also unaware about the right shoulder connection to liver damage. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! You are a wonderful educator and I truly appreciate your posts!
This was such a great learning experience. Thanks Dr. Ekberg for this. I absorbed what you said like a sponge
I started with prebiotics. Then I cut out carbs and tocix *vegetable oils* through fasting (mostly) for 3-4 days. During the time I fasted i had daily BMs... one day I had several bowel movements. I couldn't understand why - they were yellowish.
Now I'm guessing my liver started to detox. Now I need to move forward to healing.
Since then I have moved to organic and pasture raised/grass fed.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤❤❤
Don’t even know why I watched this but you kept me interested right to the end and if I take notice you maybe gave me years on my life. Thank you for a great, informative video. Sugar and alcohol, I’ve got to get that sorted. Thanks again.
Amen, Sister.
Thank you for making videos that educate me about my liver. I just had some blood test done and my Doctor had some questions about my liver. I took another blood test and it was a false alarm. Learning more about the liver is life giving and it warns me to watch out for bad foods and habits. I love every video you produce to educate me. I can now spend more time working on healing or correcting my bad habits in my years of retirement. 🤗
I really like what you said about fatigue and the body being in a healing state. I've been so tired and needing so much more sleep the past few months and my liver has been hurting. This makes so much sense now. I am missing YIN energy I just know it. Pushing too hard for too long.
Oh God Me too its been pushed and it's so tired. Look up Medical Medium you'll get your liver back. This doctor is great 👍but his getting all his information from The medical medium. My liver will heal after listening to medical medium. Goodluck we are all in this together
@@PP-qi1nk can you send me the link please? thanks. My liver is a little better, I've been doing lemon morning and night and only one coffee a day but it's still not great. I'm allergic to Milk thistle.
Just take note that those systems that you are having could also be many of things, I had all those and come to find out it was my Iron was to low it was a 4 the Dr. ask me how i get out of bed cause i had no energy i told him very carefully our Iron is suppose to be 15 or highter so i had to have Iron infusions for 10 weeks so if you are tired alot think about that also
@@kellyskaggs5687 What do you mean by Iron infusion for 10 weeks?What did you use for infusions? Thanks for reply

This was extremely informative Dr. Ekberg as always. I didn't realise how critical a healthy liver is. Blessings.
This video was scary, but had a happy ending. Basically eat and live healthier and your liver will thank you
Absolutely one of the best health videos I've seen on this subject!
I agree it’s the best. I discovered I have hemochromatosis 7 yrs ago, but after starting with flobotomy it was suspended in a month Bcs although my ferritin was still high, my red blood cells went down to the anemic level
So I’m back to step 1 and my ferritin is up to 1,400 :(
I have high ferritin so I’ve donated blood twice 8 weeks apart since I discovered this but the second time I donated I started to feel short of breath and weak.
Thanks. I have been diagnosed with fatty liver several years ago. I can relate to the effects it has on you mentally and physically. A lot of what you said ive heard from my Gastroenterologist. I like your simple straight forward presentation of the liver.
Fatty liver can be reduced but it takes two or three years depending on how severe it is. Kale and blueberry shakes are great ways to heal the liver but cutting out sugar and carbs is a must- especially processed sugar and carbs!
Thanks!
Thank You @stevewhalen6973 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
This video was a really good one! Don’t have liver issues but love understanding how the body works and try’s to correct damage. Thank you DrE!
I got diagnosed with hemochromatosis 4 years ago purely by the chance of my doctor asking for blood liver test. I was over 20X normal level. After a few visits blood letting my levels are now normal. Had a fibro scan test on my liver which showed little or no damage.
Thank you so much for a clear understandable presentation to show the importance and value of the liver. More importantly, thank you for the solutions, what to eat and what not to eat. Blessings and gratitude for your vast valuable work for humanity. Namaste
So grateful that I heard this video, you’ve described everything I’ve been experiencing for almost a year. Now the distention started, and is unbearable. Thank you for this post. 🙏🏼
Hurry and get to the Dr. honey before it gets to late to turn it around like my moms was. prayers
Unbelieveble- I have this shoulder pain since ages and the doctors can't find out what it is. I went on a diet avoiding sugar cause my blood sugar was a bit high and the pain passed off!! None of the doctors even remotely suggested what you are saying. Ive had 10 of these signs!! Thank you. I will definitely be following you from now on.
Everyone has to do their own research now. Doctors often know less than you think and often don’t care.
You sir deserve a medal! Providing us with this valuable and life saving knowledge is a great act of kindness. Thank you!
That was such a professional and informative show with fantastic presentation skills. Thank you
Thank you Dr.Sten for this amazing breakdown of liver function. You are a good teacher and i have a much better understanding of this incredible organ now. God bless you
Amazing lecture so full of beneficial health info. All the meds, sugar, process foods, seed fats, and high carbs we put in our body cause long term damage. Our own PCP would not tell us the harms of pumping us with long term meds will do to our vital organs. The healing profession has change greatly bc more people are getting sick with diseases and not being educated on real health solutions just needing to pump people with meds a slow poison. This man is an amazing speaker! He doesn't rush through any of his presentations nor does he ask for donations at the end of his video. Thank you for sharing with us your insightful knowledge.
Played the video at 1.5 speed and can still testify this is the most I got from a youtube video on this topic. Now I wish he was also my stats professor.
I recommend 1.5x, too.
Thank you for this clear message... I have had an escalation of symptoms to this point covering four decades. The reason I’m here is I also have great recuperative skills. It all adds up but the little bits do accumulate... arteritis, a recent stent, cataracts, bloating, edemia etc... thanks for the reminder.
Speaking as someone who actually has been diagnosed with Hemochromatosis I have to have a venesection (blood drain every 9 months aka bloodletting), so this is really useful for me as it wasn't properly explained what this entails, but this video has given me major insight. Many thanks!
How did it come about that you got diagnosed and what is your condition?
@@missg3188 I kept feeling tired, drained, getting forgetful, so I went to the doctors who did a full blood test as I felt something wasn't right. After the blood test they found that I had excessive iron levels in my blood caused by a malfunctioning gene. They diagnosed me with Hemochromatosis and have had to have blood letting since. Think I've had this now for the past 8 years. Whether this actually is Hemochromatosis I don't know, but that is what I got diagnosed with!
My husband had high iron levels. Just saw a specialist today to have a liver sonogram and have further blood tests.
Hi everyone my husband was diagnosed with hemo and then into a subgroup called polycythemia, big words,both treated by blood letting. He has never felt sick but we do know a man who was deathly sick in a hospital for months and I also have a girlfriend with it. I understand also that people with this need to be on guard for various blood cancers. The most annoying thing for us is doctor forgetting to send requisition forms to the lab.
You have just provided us valuable information! My hubby who is on the borderline of fat liver disease does experience shoulder pain and diarrhea. He didn’t know why but will know soon! Thank you for a great video!
Thank you Doctor..this is one of your most important teaching for overall health and knowledge of the liver and importance of signs and symptoms that can lead too extreme health problems...thank you again...
Thank you John Albano. I really appreciate your feedback. 😄
Hello John 👏 how are you doing?
@@drekberg hey Dr I am still wanting to know what are sulfur foods? My gallbladder is removed also. I have 4 of your 10 signs. I would appreciate an answer.
@@vickiescallan5651 I’m no expert but I believe eggs and leafy green vegetables are good sources of sulphur 🤗
Excellent presentation..I will do better
Thank you so much Dr Ekberg, I really really enjoyed listening to you, and knowing that you talk such a lot of sense too. I’m still on my 30-days of no sugar. And I thank you for this. Please stay safe and well too. Mags
Great lesson learned in less than 23 minutes, keep up the good work
continuing with my statement below it emphasizes the fact that when it's your time to go even if you play by the rules you're going to depart this life so everybody needs to be prepared spiritually to meet Christ
Rediculous
Amen.
Thanks so much for having the absolute best balance of information/explanation/helpfulness. Without having any tests done, I actually feel a bit better about the condition of my liver based on what I've seen here -- but I know that I still have changes to make into habits. The good thing is that I'm not at a "point of no return" and still have time to make changes.
Also, it should be noted, this Dr. is sharing honest info. unlike the majority of the greedy For Profit Medical Industry. Let us get cooking and follow the path to live longer. Press
Nada absolute or best about this, it’s so untrue, it’s a fact that áłł ánimàł pròds are unnatural and detrimental to one’s body, the most tòkśik things one could ever èat, also beyond śácriłegíuous, and plant protein is the right type of protein that the body needs - I eat a lot of soy and legumes and my wœnds hèaled faster than ever, so the rebuilding idea is also ns!
If anything, they are exactly what cáuse liver pròbłems and almost all other pròbłems - fructose and sugar don’t cáuse anything, I eat a lot of sugar, and I have no h. pròbłems, the only thing that sugar can do is, if consumed in very hígh amounts, it can give someone temporary toothache, but that’s about it!
Plant-based products are the rèal food!
Gullible dmbfck.
Dr. Ekberg, thank you for this video. It has changed my life regarding my health issues. I will begin my detoxification when I wake up tomorrow. You inspired me to take charge of my liver and my life. I am no longer waiting for physicians/Rx to drag me through each day. However, in conjunction with my physicians, I will begin my new journey. EVERYTHING in your video is happening to me right now. My prayers to you and everyone who benefit from this video. Awesome blessings for all. Amen
My prayers to you 🙏
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was invaluable to me! I really appreciate your way of presenting info and giving hope! Thank you so much!!
Bästa videon och presentationen någonsin, Tack för ditt arbete!
@Dr. Sten Ekberg You are so articulate and thorough! Thank you for this detailed and clear explanation!! We need more health care practitioners like you!
You're welcome.
Great video. Thank you. I had hepatitis A when I was a child. That was over 50 years ago and my liver still suffers because of that.
I have been telling these doctors that I am having liver problems they said you liver has some fat but it goes with age I am only fifty. I want to get healthy and stay here as long as I can for my family.
You’re an excellent teacher. Thank you for breaking this down in an easy to understand way.
Well I'm not sure why UA-cam only just recommended me this but it was an unexpected video but quite informative nonetheless.
Hello Norge!
@Robanz ZZ me too. There have been some strange recommendations from their algorithm that were uncanny…videos about people that do not sleep through the night…hmmm..how did they know that?:)
Same here my co worker is in ICU from liver failure I should have seen this a month ago
Dr ekberg is amazing
I have got also recommendation from UA-cam and started my journey with keto diet. After 3 months lost 13 kg of weight. Thank you Dr. Ekberg, thanks UA-cam.
Thank you for this . I have been diagnosed with a liver that does't want to function because the bile duct was plugged with stones and my pancreus is atrophied and doesn't work at all . I learn something by watching this so I am going to watch the next one .
I suffered a lot of these issues but didn't get any help from various doctors I visited. I decided to go vegan and stuck to a lot of dark greens, then cut out bread. It made a massive difference and now if I have more than a minimal amount of sugar or wheat I have itchy feet and skin issues. Finally I understand why. This is the information all doctors should be giving out rather than drugs or brushing people off until they are sick enough to give expensive drugs to.
You won't last long as a vegan. You will start losing your hair, rotting teeth, bulging eyes, wasting muscles and possibly a stroke. You have carnivore teeth for a reason. It never ceases to amaze me how people can have no clue as to how to eat like a human.
Thank you! 🥰
For those wondering how to increase their sulfur intake, here are some recommendations:
* Meat and poultry: especially beef, ham, chicken, duck, turkey, and organ meats like heart and liver.
* Fish and seafood, including scallops and mussels
* Legumes
also make sure they ate naturally & did not get hormones, antibotics &c...
Luann my problem is how to prepare them, any suggestions?
@@FD-iv6si What are you referring to specifically?
@@TerriblePerfection like when you cooking it, do you use coconut oil or just steam it?
@@FD-iv6si To what does "it" refer? Am I missing something? Several foods appear on the list.
Just wanted to thank you Dr Ekberg for providing the information you do on the liver and even on all the other subjects you cover as well so informative and helpful keep up the great work you do. Many Thanks
Dr. Edberg, this is the best video I have seen on this topic. You present the material very well. You are easy to listen to and don't come across as arrogant. Great job!
Dr. Ekberg, can you pls. Discuss about the cons or what lies ahead for people who had their gall bladder surgically removed , or cholecystectomy. What are the food to watch out for and what are things to watch out for. Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God bless!
The irony that I have seen in life is that some people obey all the rules never drank never smoked and end up with liver cancer cirrhosis of the liver and lung cancer. I do believe that you should do what you should do to maintain health and quit doing the things that destroy your health, your health is your wealth.
Genes. I never drank or smoked, but I have liver disease, with a chance of liver cancer or cirrhosis because my diet is too fatty.
I have been recently been diagnosed with a Fatty Liver. I started Alt. Day Fasting low
carb to repair my body. I AM SO VERY GREATFUL FOR THIS PODCAST.
Why not just intermittent fasting?
@@jimmybaldbird3853 Needed a change, I have been intermittent fasting (falling off wagon occasionally) for several years. ADF is extreme, but at this junction I feel I need it. I have done all of the protocols at some point in time. Thanks for asking.
@@george6252 great goodluck!
George how come and you follow intermittent fasting for years and still have fatty liver?
@@audiophilesland969 very good question, it's giving me self doubts maybe intermittent fasting does not work.
Absolutely superb information. I did not miss a single thing as your style of presentation kept my attention.
Dr. Eknerg THANK YOU!!! fir educatimg people! Your translation into Spanish is superb!!! Many, many blessing!!!
I've been drinking far too much alcohol this year . So I am educating myself as to the damage I am doing.
me also
Jack daniels = not a food group!
It’s been a fantastic year for the liquor industry.
Significant reduction for me the pubs are closed.
80 days off the sauce its nice to be free of that garbage.
In case you were wondering what food you can eat to get a lot of sulfur or the antioxidant glutathione, Brussel sprouts are very high in sulfur similar to broccoli, cabbage ect.
For the best health benefits they are best eaten raw, however it is much easier to eat broccoli raw than it is brussel sprouts.
I love this channel! I learn so much every time I involve myself here, & I do have a very keen interest in biology & food related topics.
I can't wait to make this year the year I'm in tip top shape!
Can you tell me what other vegetables we can eat ?
@@icediamonds11 broccoli sprouts, moringa
Raw cabbage family is very bad for you. It has antinutients that block some vital minerals from entering your system.
I've been taking thyroxin due to a high tsh and was saddened to learn that I shouldn't eat cruciferous veggies as they interfere with thyroxin. Never mind; I still eat them sometimes.
List begins at 4:50 and moves along at a clip, precise, thorough, no padding/stretching.
Amazing I have steatosis of the liver this really helped me identify all the symptoms.
This is amazing! I am 90 days into a carnivore diet, and I was just thinking the other day that my seasonal allergies haven't kicked in yet. I wonder if my carnivore liver detox is the reason...
This dude was meant for discussions 💯💯🙏 Well done Doc
Brilliantly explained! Thank you very much! I liked the tone of the voice and the clear explanation.
Always good information from here. I didn't think I'd have to worry too much, being on keto and fasting already. Real food at the right time does a lot.
Man i just returned from saying goodbye to my friend who is now in hospice for liver disease. He has every one of these conditions it seems. Thanks DR. E.
Dr. Ekberg coulg you please make a video on constipation, reasons, treatments, what to eat/do, excersices? I am sure many other health champions can benefit from your thought on this topic. Thank you.
If have constipation, try eating All Bran cereal with flax seed
Drink Aloe Vera on an empty stomach, or take pure Vitamin C on an empty stomach or Magnesium citrate or prunes.
Fiber like someone suggested can make it worse. My daughter was pretty much born with constipation.We tried countless things that did little to nothing. What did work was Magnesium and vitamin C. Also balancing her minerals like calcium, zinc, and others. Taking vitamin D3 helped as well.
I suffered from constipation most of my life. By simply stopping drinking coffee and tea and substituting that with water I've never been constipated again. I'm now regular every morning for the past year.
@@ivankillins8407 and drinking lots of water coz flaxseed can cause constipation too!
Hey there Doctor Ekberg, I have been doing Omad and ditched added sugar for around 6 weeks and my yellow eyes and the brown staines in my skin around my mouth have faded away almost completely, so Im sticking forever to IF, thank you so much your videos!
Hello Ana 👏 trust you're doing well and staying safe?
Eat eggs, too. The choline will help your liver.
I've experienced some of the symptoms and not once have I been told that they may be related to the liver. I might have to switch my primary doctor. I'll definitely cut down on Pepsi and Coke for sure. Thank you!
No one drinks Pepsi AND Coke. Were you born on Earth (3rd planet from the nearest sun), or are you a recent visitor?
I was diagnosed around 2008 with NAFL and never told a thing but "lose weight". Which is the only thing any doctor has ever said to me. Here we are so many yesrs later, still fat. I've been on keto for 6 weeks now.
This is excellent! I’m glad I found his videos! One thing I’ve always wondered: why is eating liver considered a healthy choice???
Because it’s nutrient dense and lots of vitamin A 👍🏼
One of the most informative docs out here on the web. Please keep it up. I learn from you every time. 🥑
Hi Doc. On my degree course in Nutrition & Health the lectures dont cover a quarter of the information you get through in one video.
And to think I’m paying £9k pa for the course.
It makes being a member of your channel pocket change by comparison.
Thanks for another great video.
Thank you Garry Rowland. Formal learning is great for the foundation, but we have to remember that there is a difference between learning and getting a degree. First you get the degree, then you learn the stuff that matters.😄
Hi @Taiwo Omotosho yes Tuition fee in UK.
