In India, we use unflavored yogurt on hair (sometimes with a few drops of lemon juice) before shampooing the hair. Put it on scalp and on the length of hair for 15-20 mins and then wash it off. It reduces dandruff and conditions the hair as well. Edit : Also your hair and scalp should be exposed to the sun everyday for at least 10-15 mins.
My wife had bad dandruff that didn't want to go away. Every dermatologist she goes to see they all told her there is no cure for it. We came across Dr. Berg's videos and we started Keto diet. 2.5 months later her dandruff is gone with no medication. Also, we're doing intermittent fasting. We're both down 30lbs and my blood pressure is down 30 points. It's like a miracle.
I've had dandruff all my life. 3 months ago i decided to stop washing my hair with shampoo and conditioner, only using water. it has been a life changer.
Ok, time to chime in here. How I CURED my dandruff. Had it since HS. (Probably sooner.) Usually some over the counter anti dandruff shampoo a few times a week kept it in check, mostly. Several years ago it got bad. Chunks coming off my scalp. I tried EVERY product on the market. I tried some over the counter things like soaking your head in listerine, tried rinsing with apple cider vinegar, even tried coal tar shampoos. NOTHING worked. Went to a dermatologist who took a three second look, said "Scalp psoriasis, no known cause, no known cure" charged me over 200 bucks, gave me a prescription for some expensive drops to stop itching and have a nice day. Yea well.... I had recently started reading up on all the crap in our foods. So decided to look up soap. OH MY GOD! Soaps are even LESS regulated than our food and just about every chemical in soap is an irritant if not a carcinogen. I started looking for all natural soaps. Found one (tried several, this is my favorite.) Dr. Bronner's new castle liquid soap. Thought I'd give it a two week trial and use nothing else. Well the no known cause psoriasis went away. The dandruff I had for decades completely went away. Oh I can still scratch my scalp and get a few flakes to fall, we all shed skin so guessing some of that is normal. But no more flakes on my shoulders. A few other non related rashes I had in other places all cleared up too. Now I had already cut most carbs out, (went on atkins for awhile.) A lot of foods I stopped buying because of all the garbage in processed food now, learned a ton about diet and learning more every day but this psoriasis started after the change in diet. I haven't had a can of pop in several decades now. It wasn't until I changed soap that this all cleared.
@@jhb9254 Oh I tried several with tea tree in it. Then even bought a bottle of straight tea tree oil and started adding an eye dropper more to the bottle. (Probably way more than the ones that claim to be tea tree.... all they have to do is put in a drop to make the claim.) It made no more difference than anything else. The cure was simply get OFF all the chemical filled crap.
I have struggled with this all throughout my adult life... It began when i became an alcoholic... Its a very painful, embarrassing situation... Thankfully ive been sober for ten years but still love chocolate... So this is so helpful ..
Great explenation! I have had severe dandruff problems my entire life, visiting many doctors and using all kinds of prescribed and unprescribed solutions. The problem is most shampoos make you dependant on them and as soon as you stop using them it returns just as bad. The chemicals in them will basically slowly eat you alive. In 2016 I fell in love with a nutritionist. We have been in a relationship over 6 years now and walked a path of healing together. Now I know that the main reasons for my dandruff were gluten and sugar. Every time now, when I step out of my current diet to consume either of these my dandruff reappears after being completely absent.
I use milk only on my hair 1/2 cup is plenty to clean should length hair and I only need to clean a couple times a week. Now this is all I use on my hair, eyes and body. Zero chemicals. I rinse the milk out with clear water. I bath rather than shower and the milk has removed dry eyes, cleared fungal toenails and ever in my 65 years has my hair been so manageable . It does lighten hair a little but at 65 I have no noticeable gray. Milk also worked to stop horrible discomfort of shingles. I can’t drink milk. But topical it has been amazing . Also resolved a life long battle with hives.
I have done and continue to do most of the things, that you recommend on your videos, for years. I have been using all natural products and eating organic whole natural foods for 10 years. I am not following a keto diet, but do fast daily for about 12 hours on average. My problem I believe is not having my gallbladder. It has been one problem after another following the removal to which I was extremely hesitant to do. I tried every natural alternative that I knew about back then but had no success. I even tried the gallbladder and liver cleanse. It is absolutely frustrating that as a society we are okay with removing organs. Now granted, I know there are medical emergencies that require drastic measures but to remove an organ due to a tiny stone or minor issue that could be resolved in less problematic ways is insane to me. The medical field lets us down in my opinion. I am so glad that you are sharing this information to help people be their own advocates. There are alternatives that do work!
I totally agree with you. I didn't remove mine, doctors wanted to, they told me, there was no solution only removal BUT GOD yes with fasting and praying 🙏🏻 God healed me from gallstones disease. Thank You Jesus🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 You too can be healed🙏🏻
My solution that's very effective (reducing 90% or more) and basically removing the problem together is 50% water and 50% pure apple cider vinegar. Apply that after shampooing on the scalp (rubbing it well) and then wait 30 or seconds, wash and add conditioner. DONE DONE DONE !:)
I’ve been dealing with sebborheic dermatitis (beard, scalp, creases of nose) for the past few years. Never had any skin issues until then. I’m almost positive that there is a gut-skin connection, which is not surprising, as the state of your gut affects almost everything. My wife and I eat very cleanly, and I don’t get many flare-ups, but if I eat things that I’m not used to eating (fried foods, etc.) consistently for a few days, I can feel the itch coming on.
Me too.. I’m 35 and the problem started about 12 years ago. Now that I think of it, I wanted to bean athlete when I was younger and the problem with dandruff and skin issues like sebhorreic started after I gave up on being an athlete. I probably started eating poorly and drinking more alcohol. Or maybe it was after using an antibiotic, who knows at this point. What I noticed though is that when I’m on keto, the problem subsides. It goes away completely or almost completely. Maybe it really is a mixture of low carbs, sugar AND omega 6. It makes sense. I never consume probiotics or fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, etc. Will try this time with keto + low omega 6.
Also I forgot, in case this helps someone with these issues. I found there’s a direct correlation with bread and dandruff + sebhorreic dermatitis for me. Recently I got off keto and started consuming bread like crazy. I did this twice. The first time I was consuming bread and butter and I got a ton of acne, which I never have, in my forehead region. I thought it was the butter, not the bread. But I cleaned my diet and it went away. Next I fell off the wagon again and ate bread a lot but without butter, mostly with mayonese, cheese and ham, and same problem again. So it’s not the butter, it’s something in the bread.
@@Carloss86py Good to know. I’m around the same age as you. The only bread I really eat regularly is sourdough, which is the best option because it’s fermented.
Hi Mark B please see my comments above. Use only pure sweet almond oil, jojoba, or organic castor oil on your scalp. You can leave it on or overnight & use a mild shampoo to wash it out ok.
My best advice from someone who had dandruff is to go to barber often get your hair cut, don’t use too much shampoo use little or none. Keep your hair short and trim when all else failed shaved your head because that’s the only way to clean dandruff. Only shampoo I recommend is baby shampoo it’s mild and made for baby. Cut an inch or two of your normal hair it definitely help and don’t keep long hair.
Another thing to do is to avoid removing the oils from your scalp so often. Shower and rinse your hair everyday, but don't use shampoo everyday. Maybe only every few days.
I'm not on keto personally. But I'm lactose intolerant, and I kind of took a gap from eating dairy for a while in a foreign country simply because it wasn't available. And boom. Dandruff gone. Ate some cheese and the pimples and patchy skin began flaring up again. Got off the dairy, and my skin and hair are fantastic. I'll still occasionally eat a pizza and ruin things because life's short.
Yes this makes total sense! My dandruff flares up when I have too much sugar and yeast in my diet. Saccharomyces boulardii capsules and low carb help but when I don't stick to that I've found that The Body Shop Ginger shampoo clears it up straight away - I think the ginger's antifungal.
20 years ago I had a severe case of sebaceous dermatitis, I had all these oily scabs that formed on my scalp, in babies they call it cradle cap. I was at the local health food store, looking for a shampoo that might help and I had a young clerk come and ask me what I was looking for. When I described my problem she told me what I needed was a specifically balanced omega blend, not just omega 3's which were just starting to become popular, but a blend of 3-6-9 omegas, that I could get in a particular fish oil product. I tried it, and it took a couple of months but it cleared it up, and not just my scalp but I had always had pretty bad acne, and it helped that a lot. Over the years I have tried to share this with various people, medical, acquaintances, ect and most just give me that look, "okay, sure" and turn their back and roll their eyes. Oh well for them I guess.
@@annekendziora9114 It's Nordic Naturals, they used to brand it as 3-6-9, but now it's called something like "complete omega", it's omega 3 plus 70 mg GLA (what it says on the label). There are some other brands that make a blended formula, it comes in liquid form and they are all pretty pricey. I lived in Switzerland for a time and could get a plant base formula (which I think is better because it's more sustainable) and didn't cost an arm and a leg, but I haven't found it here. It's just so bewildering that even after 20 years, no one in mainstream medical will even listen. So sad. I guess it's like everything else these days, no real profit in it. Better to sell millions of bottles of H&S and all those prescriptions for steroids. Crazy.
I've had dandruff for over 2 decades. I'm not talking little flakes either- I have big, chunky flakes that you can feel coming off my of my head if you ran your fingers along my scalp. I've also always had eczema and after becoming an adult, I started going to the doctor about it. I got prescription shampoo and a steroid cream, both of which just kind of stopped being effective. I'm a very healthy eater, which may help (who knows), but a year ago my armpits got so red and inflamed I went back to my derm and she just gave me more chemicals (anti fungal and steroid), which didn't work. I decided to take a shot in the dark and stopped wearing antiperspirant and skipped out on the Rx creams all together. Immediately I started seeing an improvement. A few months ago after my monster flakes moved in for the winter, I ran out of shampooo, so I decided to just use castille soap instead. Again, it was almost an immediate 180; most of my dandruff is gone since I stopped using *real* shampoo. I've even taken things a step further and I only shower 2-3 times per week to make things easier on my skin. I'm not a naturally stinky/sweaty person and I have a desk job, so this routine works for me. Look, I'm not typically into the woo-woo stuff (I'm a lawyer raised by scientists), but allowing my natural "filth" to kind of run its course has been really beneficial to me. I hope you fellow crusties figure out what works best for you, too!
I make a scrub paste with olive oil and salt and apply on my scalp only - not hair and I gently scrub my scalp. Than I wash out with shampoo, if its still oily than I do a second wash and finish with a mix of 1/4 vinager and 3/4 water and leave for about 3 mins, rinsw with water and than i use leave in conditioner. I do this when my scalp starts get itchy and dry, especially in the winter when wearing a beanie. I also eat a lot of Kim Chi & sauerkraut. Don't sleep with your hair wet - that will cause dandruff.
I have had chronic insomnia, most of my life. I sometimes go several days with no sleep, and I have very unhealty. You point many related causes, yet my memory is so diminished that I will forget this very quickly. I suffer from seperation anxiety disorder and have been basically all alone since before covid. I have severe panic attacks as well. I use very little sugar. And am so tired and depressed by deaths of all my family since june 2014.
i had insomnia for decades and after my mom passed away even getting worse. doctor gave me sleeping pills is still didn't work. alhamdulillah after i took mace of nutmeg. i boil it and drink it now my sleep normal, i can slepp since 11 pm until 4 am because as Muslim i have to wake up for pray at dawn prayer time but after sunrise i still cam sleep again until 10-11 am since i am houswife without children so i habe nothing to do Alhamdulillah so i can use my time to sleep more. and sleep is the best thing in life❤
1. I have dandruff since I was 8 2. Head & Shoulders worked until they changed the ingredients 3. I have two dandruff spots: where my hairline meets the forehead and in the back of my neck 4. I tried all the dandruff treatments but they work for a while 5. I noticed that it goes away with knettle and sulphur shampoo, but if I am stressed it triggers it to come back
After suffering for years I finally diagnosed myself with having an imbalance of Omega 3 vs Omega 6. My diet had consisted of a lot of fried foods, burgers, coffee, etc. So I cut that back but what really did it was fish oil capsules. Once I started on the fish oil, it took 2 weeks and the dandruff disappeared.
In 2008 i had a bad accident, and ended up in the hospital for 6 weeks with limited mobility. I had bad dandruff before this. While I was in the hospital, I only got the opportunity to wash my hair "once", though I had some basic washcloth hygiene, I felt pretty grimy. But shockingly, I had NO dandruff while in the hospital. I thought, ok, they used cleansers, antibiotics, painkillers, they flushed out my gut for surgery, etc... i guess it makes sense. But the last 3.5 weeks in hospital, I was taking no medication at all. It was just physical therapy. So, what stands out to me, is that when i went home, I had bad dandruff again within 24 hours. I am STILL trying to figure out what the magical difference was. I don't think my gut biome changed dramatically in less than a day. I've tried doing a final rinse with bottled water in the shower. I've tried not washing my hair like when i was in hospital. I've tried copying my hospital diet. The only thing I can think of I haven't tried, is regular blood letting for lab tests, but I don't think that's it. I also haven't tried just 'moving', but I'm considering it. I would very much like to know what the cause really is. I suspect that I'm either just allergic to this house, OR doing a final rinse with bottled water is insufficient, and the water really is just that bad. I did take a proper shower first thing when i got home. I dunno. Keto had no effect. Also I did have carbs while in hospital. I wasn't exactly sunbathing in my hospital room. Dandruff shampoo has very temporary benefit. I use it, but I want the scalp I had while in the hospital. I'd really like to know what I'm missing. When i was in hospital, it was like my dandruff was simply switched off. and coming home, it switched on again. And it was almost immediate both ways.
Late at night when I've gone to bed, if I listen very carefully I can hear tiny voices from my head. They say almost imperceptibly "there's a fungus among us" Now I know why!
My case was different, I ate healthy exercise daily, still got dandruff. Went to dermatologist gave me some sort of oil and a very specific shampoo, after 4-5 times its gone like a charm
Months ago I was affected by Dengue, and for 7 days I couldn't eat a single grain of rice for vomiting. And in that time I saw my skin, hair was shining, even after not taking daily shower and my body lost 9 kg
I've been alright for years. Affected me for over 10. My advice is, throw away body washes, shampoos, face washes and moisturisers and only get SLS and paraben free products. This will stop irritation. Go to the doctors and get bloodwork done, make sure you don't have any allergies or deficiencies in vitamins for example. Failing all that just eat as little carbs or processed sugars as possible. Meats, vegetables and grazing foods like nuts, fruits etc.
@@yahiaamr5226 If i am craving carbs and I know I'm going to cave in, I'll try to get my carbs through root vegetables, potatoes, onions, carrots etc. But not like fries or onion rings.
In India we use fenugreek seeds to get rid of dandruff and get shiny hair. Soak two teaspoons of fenugreek seeds in water over night ..and next morning the seeds would have swollen up so crush the seeds and use some left over soaked water as well and make a paste . Paste doesn’t need to be fine. Apply all over the scalp leave for 15 mins. Wash your hair as normal with a less intense shampoo. Note fenugreek tends to make body cold so leave for less duration if you have asthma or sinus.
I never made the connection, but my dandruff, which I had all my life, hasn't been a problem lately. I also spend most of my time in ketosis. Go fig. Thanks Doc!
Amazing you are doing a video on this. I realized that my dandruff went away after I started following Dr berg and doing Keto and changing my eating and fasting. Thank you
Head and Shoulders is okay to my psoriasis compared to most shampoos 3x a week. Sea salt shampoo is okay but it wants you to use it regularly and if not dandruff will go wild. Filtered water on a bath helps a lot. I put 2 liters of boiled guava leaves on my bath mix from time to time.
Hot water baths and the use of keto soap (ketoconazole) can be beneficial for psoriasis. It is recommended to avoid seafood and chicken for psoriasis management. Organic shampoos or herbal and ayurvedic powders can be used for hair care. Applying coconut oil the day after or in the evening of bathing can be helpful. Guava, especially its leaves and unripe fruit, can effectively reduce sugar levels in the body. Most importantly do oil baths(loads of castor oil) every tuesday & saturday
I stopped eating sugar and dairy and my dandruff and pimples went away in a week. 3 months later I had a kebab with sour cream. 3 giant zits emerged the next day and dandruff unleashed so bad and itchy and took a week to get back to normal
I had it bad all my life till I started eating clean and fasting. Sugar, processed carbs, maybe oils too idk, that stuff will cause bad imbalances in the body. Throws a wrench in everything.
I am prone to severe dandruff since the last 20 years as my scalp is an oil factory. I am a vegetarian and I cannot do Keto easily. I have been using Head and Shoulders since the last 20 years everyday to keep it under control. Every other shampoo including ketokonozole, selenium sulphide etc failed until i found magic (Thanks to fittuber channel). Its a 1:1:1 mixture of Aritha, Amla and Shikakai powder. I just put half a teaspoon into a small cup, mix some water to make into a thin runny paste and use it just like shampoo (If you have longer hairs, then maybe more is required). Sure there is no good smell/lather and is not as convinient as head and shoulders, but I can use it guilt free everyday and it has helped control the sebum production as well because it does not strip the entire natural oil and your body is not forced to produce a ton more. Regarding shower filter, they only work for a day or two very well and only with warm to hot water then from day 3 they lose efficacy. Thats becuase there is simply not enough time for water to spend time with the filter chemicals to neutralize the chlorine and the hard to treat chloramine. I know this, because I have done this and measured chlorine content everytime. The best thing to do is use a bucket and a mug. Fill the bucket with water. Add a pinch of Vitamin C (Pure ascorbic acid) which will neutralize all these bad chemicals almost instantly. Use that water to take bath. Not as convinient as shower, but then you decide the advantages. The other thing to do it use is whole house filtration system - these are good but cannot be used for shower alone as these filters cant stand hot water. Whole house filteration system can run out fast if you use that filtered water to water a huge garden. Just do the math and get it installed. Hope this helps.
My goodness dr Berg is there anything you don't know about the body. Lol.. you're amazing and I appreciate all the research you do. You sure have helped me start living a better healthy life. I do have a question since you talking bout dandruff lol. Is there a way to reverse grey hair. I take all the hair vitamins. Just curious about it. Thanks for the awesome job you do.
Thank God I found you! ❤ I love to live with truth and take care of all I can take care of in order to live the best and healthy life possible, to do what I came here for. You will be rewarded 1 day for exposing the truth.
I think that I should also eliminate fruits, because in the end it is also just sugar. it doesn't matter if you eat a bar of chocolate or an apple, sugar is sugar. does anyone have experience?
strangely enough my dandruff has only gone away during a fruit and fruit juice only diet. did for three months and switch to keto with no relapse in symptoms
*Saccharomyces Boulardii for Candida.* Got intestinal candida after taking antibiotics. I battled it for years. I never had dry scalp until this happened to me. I was using head & shoulders, but knew it was only a temporary solution. I started buying this tea tree scalp spray to spray on my head when it became inflamed/irritated after eating certain foods (sugar, carbs & other things that feed yeast/candida). I also started using tea tree oil shampoo & conditioner. They both worked well, but again - you have to fix the gut for the complete cure. I tried the cadida diet, intermittent fasting (which is something I normally do anyways because I only eat when I'm hungry which is usually 1 meal in the evening), I tried candida supplements/vitamins (spending hundreds of dollars each month) & probiotics ranging from $30-$60 PER MONTH. NONE OF THIS WORKED!!! I tried taking oregano in both extract & pill form, grapseed extract, etc. DID NOT WORK! Then one day I came across *what FINALLY helped me & that is Saccharomyces Boulardii.* - the "good yeast." It took me YEARS to find out about this & I was not happy that NO ONE is talking about it nor mentioned it to me all of these years! Sure, what works for one may not for the other, but look at the reviews online for the herbal supplement. I but the "NOW" brand - look at those reviews! SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO WERE CURED BY IT! Or have been helped by it! I no longer have dandruff. Like Dr.Berg said, dandruff is a fungus. It is yeast overgrowth. It causes dander, sensitive painful itchy scalp, migraines, tingling of the scalp, it can make you feel "heavy" mentally & have brain fog! It can even cause the feeling of anxiety! Which is your body telling you that something is not right. Then after washing the scalp with tea tree shampoo the "weight" lifts, I have more energy, can think more clearly, no anxiety & of course the scalp feels better. But then if I eat something the next day that triggers candida, those symptoms may return & I go straight to my tea tree scalp spray or wash hair with tea tree shampoo & condtioner. The tea tree spray for head/scalp also helps with migraines or sensitive painful scalp (caused by inflammation of the scalp). I believe persons who experience migraines may benefit from the tea tree scalp spray. It works even when advil doesn't. OH AND BTW, *STAY AWAY FROM IBUPROFRIN!!!* I switched to advice because ALL forms of ibuprofen has a soapy taste and will leave your tongue numb. That's very concerning and never used to be the case! In fact I started taking dye-free ibuprofen from Walmart years ago. They worked great until one day I put a tablet in my mouth which tasted like soap and numbed my tongue. You can go look at the reviews on Walmart about this and see that people are complaining about the same thing. So I went back to red dye form of ibuprofen (washed the dye off & then took them) because unfortunately it's one or the other. Now they are doing it to all forms of ibuprofen which I have tried from several different stores.
Wait a minute. I did the Ketogenic diet that you recommended along with intermittent dieting. I ate a large salad every night with cheese, chicken, jalapeño, eggs, and lost 30 lbs in one month without exercising, but I always topped it off with Italian dressing (which had no canola). Are you saying that vinegar based products still turn to sugar?
Dr.eric berg DC your sessions are always interesting.earlier i was like i cant watch since your vedio timeline is very long later on it came out of curiosity that pushed me to grab your subject and understand it slowly and one fine day I understood it is way more helpful and it is crazy and deep in terminology and also most particularly it is having potentiality. It will be very helpful if u could really come up with a vedio regarding Blood infection and dry *psoriactic syndrome*.
Any suggestion for the good shampoo for us who still have this dandruff problems? I’m gonna fix my diet too because of this great video and hopefully will see some improvement
Yeah I do keto and I barely eat any sugar at all. None of that worked. What actually did work was getting a chlorine filter for my shower. Solved my life long dandruff problem overnight.
Yup, my issue has worsened or gotten better, depending on the area in which I've lived. (I'm not a home owner & apt leases run about 12 months.) In one area, I had to resort to only washing my hair at my parents' place due to the dreadful water supply where I lived that year. At the very same place, I had a friend visit from out-of-town who attempted to rinse his face and screamed when the water went into his eyes. (That's saying something, because he was from a coastal town where everyone knows the chlorine is strong.) Meanwhile, the apt people had told me that I was "just sensitive" when I called to ask what was going on with the water supply. I bought a "zero water" pitcher that I would use for a cold douse/rinse when I absolutely had to wash my hair there. 🥶
Glass and clean wood only. Stop using heated plastic, it is quite toxic. Also silicon bake tools are only good to medium temperatures, and offgas in boiling temperatures.
I can actually confirm, I tried no carb diet for two weeks. I had a huge dandruff for almost 20 years. During this no-carb phase the dandruff completely vanished.
@@ArthurZakaryan23 I use a brand here in Germany called Tetesept. I used a heavy dose of 2000 IU a day, and then brought it down to around 800 IU a day.
With seborrheic dermatitis and possible psoriasis, do not use olive or coconut oils on the scalp. It feeds the yeast & causes more irritation. Instead use sweet almond oil, jojoba and pure organic castor oil.
If doctors actually healed people.. they couldn't buy a boat. I don't do conventional doctors anymore. My mom is dying from diabetes.... the medication her doctor is giving her is making her worst. I try to help her with a serious diet change... but, she won't hear of it... only the doctors can save her life. Very sad.
For a short term fix I can recommend apple cider vinegar. Just use it similar to a conditioner. Use a diluted solution, at least 1:3, massage it into your hair and let it there for a couple of minutes while you wash the rest of your body. If you have some bloody spots it will hurt at first. Then it helped me to leave it on longer... usually until it stopped hurting. The next days you will likely get some skin build up... but after 1-3 days it will be gone and underneath will be fresh, healthy skin. Anyway... rinse it out and let your hair dry. It won't be smelling very nice at first... buuuut as soon as it dries this scent will disappear. I had these problems since my puberty... all the special shampoos and the special creams from my doctors didn't help anything. It just got worse and worse.... I still have these outbreaks from time to time.. usually when I'm under a lot of stress. Most times I can fix it by just slowing down and taking care of the stress... If it's too severe, the ACV still works like a charm.
I have used Apple cider Vinegar for many years, and it is the only remedy that can give me relief from psoriasis.. But you need to do it continusly because it will always return, if you dont use it… Its very painfull in the beginning but you just need to go true the pain, you will be happy with the resultat !
The best remedy is to buy Amla and Shikakai powder. Mix 2 tablespoons of each with some boiling water. Apply on your scalp gently rubbing for 5min. Then leave it in for at least 20min/while you're taking a bath. Then rinse it with pure water. It takes some time and is a mess but worth it! After you have to wash your hair only once or twice a week. It is strong and shiny. No shampoo, no conditioner needed any more. (You can use silicone-free shampoo once a while if you don't have time for the procedure..)😊
I had severe dandruff and itchy scalp when I was 13 back in the '70's. Derma doc told me to use Ivory dish soap, watered down with distilled water, I did and it went away. When Dawn dish soap came out, I used that. Later in life, I had a severe reaction to a sulpha drug, doctor told me not to use shampoos with sulphates in them. I switched recently from Dawn/water to Dr. Berg's shampoo and I love it. It's the only shampoo I've been able to use since 1969!
I had at times very bad dandruff and never knew why. I wasn’t even thinking about dandruff but after I went KETO and IF, I noticed I no longer had dandruff. I was shocked and happy at the same time. I would’ve never thought that would happen. So many things are getting fixed with just diet.
Dr. Berg, I've suffered with dandruff for the last year or so. I've gone through my 20s with no scalp issues: I've always had great, healthy, shiny hair and a healthy scalp. My mom passed away last year, and as a result of the deep despair I faced I started eating garbage (lots of carbs and sweets) and drinking alcohol excessively. I got covid in October and my scalp issues got worse in November/December. Started shedding like crazy, dandruff was crazy, itchiness like I've never experienced. I went to my doctor, they told me there wasn't a lot they could because if it's caused by covid, they don't know enough to help me. 😒 I refuse to take "there's nothing we can do" as an answer. I knew I had put on weight and was unhealthy but I didn't realize how bad it was. I went back on keto, doing one meal a day, taking several vitamins, and now I'm doing the carnivore diet for a little while, incorporated organ meats (beef liver jerky from WF to start, then actual liver once I figured I could stomach it. Very aware of the potential for hypervitaminosis), exercising: weight lifting and running, making sure I get out for at least 2 hours of sunlight and fresh air every day. My scalp and hair are feeling normal again. I still get itches here and there, but the shedding is virtually non-existent. I'm still washing my hair with city (Chicago) water - and I'm going to get a good filter - but it's amazing how I've been able to reverse my issues with diet. My hair, which was always a light to medium brown, had turned a corpse gray/black while I was unhealthy, the color is coming back into my hair. Truly incredible to watch this transformation I'm going through. Thank you so much for putting out this information and I hope my story inspires someone to finally make the change.
Thank you for your testimony! I caught Covid in December of 2021 and noticed my scalp has been inflamed and very itchy since. And recently I have experienced some small patches of hair loss. I have also changed my diet. I switched up my diet just a few short days ago & I already noticed a slight difference in my skin. A healthy diet is the way to go. I must cut out the excess sugars! I forward to reporting back my results!
I stopped using detergent shampoo a long time ago and use argan oil shampoo instead. It seemed to have helped because I use to get so much sebum build up, that I had to use a stiff scrub brush to break it up!
Your hormones may have a lot to do with it as well. Whenever things go haywire in the body it’s worth doing bloodwork to check if you have a condition causing the issue. We are all complex and it’s never just one thing. I did keto and that is when my dandruff issue began.
How long did you do keto? Getting started causes all kinds of problems with stored toxins getting dumped into your blood. Give it time and make sure you are eating high quality keto not cheap crappy meat.
I had my wisdom teeth out and they made me take antibiotics, a week later i had the most annoying, gross dandruff. Thanks for helping me make the connection.
Same. I took some for a infected toe and the next week I had dandruff. I still have it three weeks later. Also the antibiotics made me gain weight. I’m like WTF!
I had dandruff my whole life until I went keto. At first I didn‘t even realize it was gone, just like my receeding gum line on my teeth & bleeding gums . . . just started to regenerate (get healthy). It‘s crazy how manythings improved: sleep, energy, digestion, cognitive strength/ concentration. Thanks Doc 🙏 you had a direct impact in my success!! God bless and keep you 💞 & Mrs. B & kids & Charlie!
@rocketscientist66 Icured my dandruff, dry knees and elbows by drinking orange juice mixed with lemon juice and i put 2 old, clean pennys in the gallon of juice. Dont use new pennys as they contain zinc. I drink a quart a day.
@@glennerd3125 Don‘t think Dr. B would wanna test your blood glucose or insulin levels after all that fructose. Lemons and their juice are super, the oranges usually are loaded with too much sugar. But if it works for you, great! Anything‘s better than drinking cocacola, sweet-tea or mountain dew, that‘s for sure 😉
@@saifmd7001 Yes it did, totally. But you maybe should add up all the factors: clean, healthy, whole foods. I also started drinking every morning a big, hot „bulletproof“ coffee with butter, coconut oil, cream, almond milk, strong coffee of course and added about 7 diff. spices: tumeric, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, black pepper, cayenne pepper, pink himalayan salt, a little stevia. This coffee is my addiction, spicy and sweet 😋 and it gives me energy the whole day. I usually eat lunch at 1-2pm and sometimes have something small for dinner (before 6pm), so I get my intermittent fasting. Many times I just eat OMAD, plus I like to do a 2-3 day extended water fast once a month with just water and herb tea (no coffee, no BP-coffee). My hair, teeth, skin and nails are much healthier! I am much healthier overall
I stopped using shampoo altogether a month ago. First hair reaction was to grease after 2-3 days. I continued to use only water. The grease disappeared. My hair look clean and healthy all the time. Dandruff is gone. Now I'm thinking of applying something my grandfather did, who has the best hair his while life, which is vinegar. Maybe with some olive oil, like a hair mask.
Look into neem oil, neem is antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, and antiparasite. Neem oil is also great at helping heal and moisturizer to the skin, it does not smell good though at all
A million thanks for shedding light on this topic. But where is the link for a good chemical free shampoo which Dr. Berg mentioned at 9:54 .... I'm unable to find it😢
Hi Dr Berg. I am from India. I followed Keto plan for 6 months with intermediate fasting and lost around 22 kgs without any trouble and in healthy way. Thanks Berg for my transformation and I also noticed during that period my dandruff problem went away. Thanks 🙏 Dr Berg for transforming me. All good vibes i get from people are because of you
@@VDO_Abhishek_Beniwal i am not a vegetarian. But u can easily follow keto diet. Just focus on more variety of vegetables (avoid soyabean products) and add oat flour to your rotis . I prefer jowar plus oats flour. Don't strictly follow keto but try consume low carb food. Two major things played role in my diet 1. No sweet at all (try erythrol if can't resist) 2. Intermittent fasting ( no food after 6-7 pm and next meal after 9-10 am) Add dahi, buttermilk, isabgol, nuts, seeds, sugar-free electrolyte (ketofy), ghee, lemon juice, amla-aloe vera juice to avoid digestive issues. Lastly excercise but not too intense ( walking, running , old school ground excercise and if u like then weight) .
Appreciate the info Dr Berg. However if you are suffering with severe dandruff like seborrheic dermatitis and possible psoriasis on the scalp, ⚠️ please never use coconut or olive oil on your scalp⚠️ these oils irritate the scalp 3x worse! Instead use: sweet almond, jojoba or organic castor oil. Trust me it works for we who suffer with scalp conditions. I pray this helps someone. 🙏🏼
I agree totally with the findings and conclusions of this vlog by Dr. Berg. My chronic case of dandruff totally disappeared when I embraced the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting in my lifestyle three years ago.
I fixed my diet a few months back to loose weight and my dandruff drastically reduced as a consequence. I 100% agree with the science of this. I also used a probiotic hair serum from living proof that perfected the treatment.
Check out Stefan Molyneux's podcast, especially the call-ins, for the Fibromyalgia... it may have nothing to do with diet, much to do with psychology & philosophy.
@@exnihilonihilfit6316 Part of her post, "and no longer have symptoms of Fibromylagia that plaqued me for 10 years." I think it's safe to say, Becky is doing well.
@@AngelsandDragonfliesAIVideos That's great, but the issues that causes may still be there, even if not to that degree... Fibromyalgia is generally "in the head": caused by f-ed up stuff in the childhood which should or shouldn't have happened.
Selenium sulfate - Selsun Blue - the only over the counter that worked for my husband. He tried so many other before he found it. When he gets a flair up he uses that once or twice and it's gone!
Hi! I'm over 50 and have suffered from an itchy, flaky dermatitis scalp for over 30+ years. I have very thick wavy hair and tend to get a lot of build up. I recently used a baking soda rinse and then a charcoal detox shampoo and it helped my scalp feel better and so clean. I highly recommend it.
Well I don't have dandruff but I definitely have a vitamin D deficiency. I just came to tell Dr. Berg thank you for his knowledge. I started taking supplements and I'm already feeling better. I have pre-existing conditions that make it really easy to miss new symptoms by assuming it's an exacerbation of those conditions that are causing the issues. But I was soooooo fatigued for the last month, I knew there was something else wrong. The level of exhaustion scared me, and i was constantly falling asleep. After just a few days on supplements, I am already feeling better! I'm back to my 8 hours instead of 12 hours, plus naps lol
I’ve dealt both with fatigue and weakness too (autoimmune disease at play) but vitamin D has helped me tremendously too I suck at consistency it’s definitely needed
Dr. Berg I have used Listerine (original gold color), which has thyme oil, on my skin for sebborheic dermatitis flare ups and it works. But I am concerned about the other chemicals in it so I'm not sure if I should be using that. Very curious what you think about that. Thank you!

Why do black people never have such issues. Skin or hair issues. Is there any research about it
Your thoughts on NIZAROL AND KETOCONAZOLE
In India, we use unflavored yogurt on hair (sometimes with a few drops of lemon juice) before shampooing the hair. Put it on scalp and on the length of hair for 15-20 mins and then wash it off. It reduces dandruff and conditions the hair as well.
Edit : Also your hair and scalp should be exposed to the sun everyday for at least 10-15 mins.
Sounds like probiotics in yogurt work...Thank you for sharing.
I have long curly very dry hair. Sounds like this might help. Thanks for the suggestion!
Are you talking about dahi?
@@krungan Yes!
@@tikitaka8042 you're welcome 🙂
My wife had bad dandruff that didn't want to go away. Every dermatologist she goes to see they all told her there is no cure for it. We came across Dr. Berg's videos and we started Keto diet. 2.5 months later her dandruff is gone with no medication. Also, we're doing intermittent fasting. We're both down 30lbs and my blood pressure is down 30 points. It's like a miracle.
Did you try scalp Scrub
I’m like that too
That’s good bro diet is key
Wow 🤩 that must be so cool to improve as a couple lol I bet you get interesting comments from your neighbors…
People don't realize, nothing is more unhealthy than over eating. We could all use a 7 day fast to reset everything.
For my record,
Good: Tea tree oil, Garlic oil, Oregano oil, Probiotics
Bad: Soy oil, Carnola oil
Also watch out for sat fat intake while substituting seed oils with other oils or butter/lard
And I’d add to that limit carbs and no sugar
I've had dandruff all my life. 3 months ago i decided to stop washing my hair with shampoo and conditioner, only using water. it has been a life changer.
Ok, time to chime in here. How I CURED my dandruff. Had it since HS. (Probably sooner.) Usually some over the counter anti dandruff shampoo a few times a week kept it in check, mostly. Several years ago it got bad. Chunks coming off my scalp. I tried EVERY product on the market. I tried some over the counter things like soaking your head in listerine, tried rinsing with apple cider vinegar, even tried coal tar shampoos. NOTHING worked. Went to a dermatologist who took a three second look, said "Scalp psoriasis, no known cause, no known cure" charged me over 200 bucks, gave me a prescription for some expensive drops to stop itching and have a nice day.
Yea well.... I had recently started reading up on all the crap in our foods. So decided to look up soap. OH MY GOD! Soaps are even LESS regulated than our food and just about every chemical in soap is an irritant if not a carcinogen. I started looking for all natural soaps.
Found one (tried several, this is my favorite.)
Dr. Bronner's new castle liquid soap.
Thought I'd give it a two week trial and use nothing else.
Well the no known cause psoriasis went away. The dandruff I had for decades completely went away. Oh I can still scratch my scalp and get a few flakes to fall, we all shed skin so guessing some of that is normal. But no more flakes on my shoulders. A few other non related rashes I had in other places all cleared up too. Now I had already cut most carbs out, (went on atkins for awhile.) A lot of foods I stopped buying because of all the garbage in processed food now, learned a ton about diet and learning more every day but this psoriasis started after the change in diet. I haven't had a can of pop in several decades now. It wasn't until I changed soap that this all cleared.
Waw thanks for taking the time
@sub R0cky that was all kinda useful information so I appreciated it
awesome! May you share if you use the tea tree one? also may you share how You diluted it?
@@jhb9254 Oh I tried several with tea tree in it. Then even bought a bottle of straight tea tree oil and started adding an eye dropper more to the bottle. (Probably way more than the ones that claim to be tea tree.... all they have to do is put in a drop to make the claim.) It made no more difference than anything else. The cure was simply get OFF all the chemical filled crap.
@oldschoolpkI prefer the stories
I have struggled with this all throughout my adult life... It began when i became an alcoholic... Its a very painful, embarrassing situation... Thankfully ive been sober for ten years but still love chocolate... So this is so helpful
..
Great explenation! I have had severe dandruff problems my entire life, visiting many doctors and using all kinds of prescribed and unprescribed solutions. The problem is most shampoos make you dependant on them and as soon as you stop using them it returns just as bad. The chemicals in them will basically slowly eat you alive. In 2016 I fell in love with a nutritionist. We have been in a relationship over 6 years now and walked a path of healing together. Now I know that the main reasons for my dandruff were gluten and sugar. Every time now, when I step out of my current diet to consume either of these my dandruff reappears after being completely absent.
Glad you like the explanation here. Thanks for sharing your experience. Stay safe and healthy!
Hello, I am an Arab girl from Egypt and I follow you and I love you very much
Thank you Dr. Berg, I had dandruff my whole life, cutting out sugar & going Keto finally got rid of it.
I use milk only on my hair 1/2 cup is plenty to clean should length hair and I only need to clean a couple times a week. Now this is all I use on my hair, eyes and body. Zero chemicals. I rinse the milk out with clear water. I bath rather than shower and the milk has removed dry eyes, cleared fungal toenails and ever in my 65 years has my hair been so manageable . It does lighten hair a little but at 65 I have no noticeable gray. Milk also worked to stop horrible discomfort of shingles. I can’t drink milk. But topical it has been amazing . Also resolved a life long battle with hives.
Thank you Dr. Berg. I used virgin coconut oil to get rid of that problem and it worked very well.
I had a flaky scalp for years until I got my thetan levels checked… after a quick audit my dry scalp went away immediately!!
Thetan? What is this?
What is thetan
I have done and continue to do most of the things, that you recommend on your videos, for years. I have been using all natural products and eating organic whole natural foods for 10 years. I am not following a keto diet, but do fast daily for about 12 hours on average. My problem I believe is not having my gallbladder. It has been one problem after another following the removal to which I was extremely hesitant to do. I tried every natural alternative that I knew about back then but had no success. I even tried the gallbladder and liver cleanse. It is absolutely frustrating that as a society we are okay with removing organs. Now granted, I know there are medical emergencies that require drastic measures but to remove an organ due to a tiny stone or minor issue that could be resolved in less problematic ways is insane to me. The medical field lets us down in my opinion. I am so glad that you are sharing this information to help people be their own advocates. There are alternatives that do work!
I totally agree with you. I didn't remove mine, doctors wanted to, they told me, there was no solution only removal BUT GOD yes with fasting and praying 🙏🏻 God healed me from gallstones disease. Thank You Jesus🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
You too can be healed🙏🏻
My solution that's very effective (reducing 90% or more) and basically removing the problem together is 50% water and 50% pure apple cider vinegar.
Apply that after shampooing on the scalp (rubbing it well) and then wait 30 or seconds, wash and add conditioner. DONE DONE DONE !:)
Now I learned whatever 2 things that doesn't affect with one another, it actually affects with one another
I’ve been dealing with sebborheic dermatitis (beard, scalp, creases of nose) for the past few years. Never had any skin issues until then. I’m almost positive that there is a gut-skin connection, which is not surprising, as the state of your gut affects almost everything. My wife and I eat very cleanly, and I don’t get many flare-ups, but if I eat things that I’m not used to eating (fried foods, etc.) consistently for a few days, I can feel the itch coming on.
Me too.. I’m 35 and the problem started about 12 years ago. Now that I think of it, I wanted to bean athlete when I was younger and the problem with dandruff and skin issues like sebhorreic started after I gave up on being an athlete. I probably started eating poorly and drinking more alcohol. Or maybe it was after using an antibiotic, who knows at this point.
What I noticed though is that when I’m on keto, the problem subsides. It goes away completely or almost completely. Maybe it really is a mixture of low carbs, sugar AND omega 6. It makes sense. I never consume probiotics or fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, etc. Will try this time with keto + low omega 6.
Also I forgot, in case this helps someone with these issues. I found there’s a direct correlation with bread and dandruff + sebhorreic dermatitis for me. Recently I got off keto and started consuming bread like crazy. I did this twice. The first time I was consuming bread and butter and I got a ton of acne, which I never have, in my forehead region. I thought it was the butter, not the bread. But I cleaned my diet and it went away. Next I fell off the wagon again and ate bread a lot but without butter, mostly with mayonese, cheese and ham, and same problem again. So it’s not the butter, it’s something in the bread.
@@Carloss86py
Good to know. I’m around the same age as you. The only bread I really eat regularly is sourdough, which is the best option because it’s fermented.
Hi Mark B please see my comments above. Use only pure sweet almond oil, jojoba, or organic castor oil on your scalp. You can leave it on or overnight & use a mild shampoo to wash it out ok.
I suffer from the same. It's been that way my entire lifetime.
I have learned all my holistic method from you...Salute to you Dr.Eric 🙏🏾
My best advice from someone who had dandruff is to go to barber often get your hair cut, don’t use too much shampoo use little or none. Keep your hair short and trim when all else failed shaved your head because that’s the only way to clean dandruff. Only shampoo I recommend is baby shampoo it’s mild and made for baby. Cut an inch or two of your normal hair it definitely help and don’t keep long hair.
Another thing to do is to avoid removing the oils from your scalp so often. Shower and rinse your hair everyday, but don't use shampoo everyday. Maybe only every few days.
I'm not on keto personally. But I'm lactose intolerant, and I kind of took a gap from eating dairy for a while in a foreign country simply because it wasn't available. And boom. Dandruff gone. Ate some cheese and the pimples and patchy skin began flaring up again. Got off the dairy, and my skin and hair are fantastic. I'll still occasionally eat a pizza and ruin things because life's short.
Life sucks.
@@ErtywekPL A pizza once in a while makes it suck less 😂
You could try eating raw dairy. Pasteurizing dairy destroys the enzymes that break it down and allow us to benefit from dairy.
Yes this makes total sense! My dandruff flares up when I have too much sugar and yeast in my diet. Saccharomyces boulardii capsules and low carb help but when I don't stick to that I've found that The Body Shop Ginger shampoo clears it up straight away - I think the ginger's antifungal.
Are you still using that shampoo
20 years ago I had a severe case of sebaceous dermatitis, I had all these oily scabs that formed on my scalp, in babies they call it cradle cap. I was at the local health food store, looking for a shampoo that might help and I had a young clerk come and ask me what I was looking for. When I described my problem she told me what I needed was a specifically balanced omega blend, not just omega 3's which were just starting to become popular, but a blend of 3-6-9 omegas, that I could get in a particular fish oil product. I tried it, and it took a couple of months but it cleared it up, and not just my scalp but I had always had pretty bad acne, and it helped that a lot. Over the years I have tried to share this with various people, medical, acquaintances, ect and most just give me that look, "okay, sure" and turn their back and roll their eyes. Oh well for them I guess.
What type of fish oil did you take?
@@annekendziora9114 It's Nordic Naturals, they used to brand it as 3-6-9, but now it's called something like "complete omega", it's omega 3 plus 70 mg GLA (what it says on the label). There are some other brands that make a blended formula, it comes in liquid form and they are all pretty pricey. I lived in Switzerland for a time and could get a plant base formula (which I think is better because it's more sustainable) and didn't cost an arm and a leg, but I haven't found it here. It's just so bewildering that even after 20 years, no one in mainstream medical will even listen. So sad. I guess it's like everything else these days, no real profit in it. Better to sell millions of bottles of H&S and all those prescriptions for steroids. Crazy.
Please enlighten us on the type of fish oil as I suffer terribly from dandruff thank you.
Hi Ana, Did you took omega 3,6,9 supplyment or omega Shampoo(not sure)?
Nordic Naturals, Complete Omega. I'm not interested in doing an advert for this company, but that's what I use.
I've had dandruff for over 2 decades. I'm not talking little flakes either- I have big, chunky flakes that you can feel coming off my of my head if you ran your fingers along my scalp. I've also always had eczema and after becoming an adult, I started going to the doctor about it. I got prescription shampoo and a steroid cream, both of which just kind of stopped being effective. I'm a very healthy eater, which may help (who knows), but a year ago my armpits got so red and inflamed I went back to my derm and she just gave me more chemicals (anti fungal and steroid), which didn't work. I decided to take a shot in the dark and stopped wearing antiperspirant and skipped out on the Rx creams all together. Immediately I started seeing an improvement. A few months ago after my monster flakes moved in for the winter, I ran out of shampooo, so I decided to just use castille soap instead. Again, it was almost an immediate 180; most of my dandruff is gone since I stopped using *real* shampoo. I've even taken things a step further and I only shower 2-3 times per week to make things easier on my skin. I'm not a naturally stinky/sweaty person and I have a desk job, so this routine works for me. Look, I'm not typically into the woo-woo stuff (I'm a lawyer raised by scientists), but allowing my natural "filth" to kind of run its course has been really beneficial to me. I hope you fellow crusties figure out what works best for you, too!
whats castille soap? should I just use a bar of soap?
I make a scrub paste with olive oil and salt and apply on my scalp only - not hair and I gently scrub my scalp. Than I wash out with shampoo, if its still oily than I do a second wash and finish with a mix of 1/4 vinager and 3/4 water and leave for about 3 mins, rinsw with water and than i use leave in conditioner. I do this when my scalp starts get itchy and dry, especially in the winter when wearing a beanie. I also eat a lot of Kim Chi & sauerkraut. Don't sleep with your hair wet - that will cause dandruff.
I have had chronic insomnia, most of my life. I sometimes go several days with no sleep, and I have very unhealty. You point many related causes, yet my memory is so diminished that I will forget this very quickly. I suffer from seperation anxiety disorder and have been basically all alone since before covid. I have severe panic attacks as well. I use very little sugar. And am so tired and depressed by deaths of all my family since june 2014.
You may have parasites... try fenbendazole or ivermectin, then continue with a low sugar diet
Sorry about your family ❤️
I'm so sorry to hear that...i hope u get better soon ❤
try 10 mg melatonin, Glycine and L theanine , all together at night

I can only imagine how excited the Head and Shoulders brand management people at Proctor and Gamble must be tonight. Talk about "Told 'ya so."
1. I have dandruff since I was 8
2. Head & Shoulders worked until they changed the ingredients
3. I have two dandruff spots: where my hairline meets the forehead and in the back of my neck
4. I tried all the dandruff treatments but they work for a while
5. I noticed that it goes away with knettle and sulphur shampoo, but if I am stressed it triggers it to come back
After suffering for years I finally diagnosed myself with having an imbalance of Omega 3 vs Omega 6. My diet had consisted of a lot of fried foods, burgers, coffee, etc. So I cut that back but what really did it was fish oil capsules. Once I started on the fish oil, it took 2 weeks and the dandruff disappeared.
In 2008 i had a bad accident, and ended up in the hospital for 6 weeks with limited mobility.
I had bad dandruff before this.
While I was in the hospital, I only got the opportunity to wash my hair "once", though I had some basic washcloth hygiene, I felt pretty grimy.
But shockingly, I had NO dandruff while in the hospital.
I thought, ok, they used cleansers, antibiotics, painkillers, they flushed out my gut for surgery, etc... i guess it makes sense. But the last 3.5 weeks in hospital, I was taking no medication at all. It was just physical therapy.
So, what stands out to me, is that when i went home, I had bad dandruff again within 24 hours.
I am STILL trying to figure out what the magical difference was. I don't think my gut biome changed dramatically in less than a day. I've tried doing a final rinse with bottled water in the shower. I've tried not washing my hair like when i was in hospital. I've tried copying my hospital diet. The only thing I can think of I haven't tried, is regular blood letting for lab tests, but I don't think that's it. I also haven't tried just 'moving', but I'm considering it.
I would very much like to know what the cause really is. I suspect that I'm either just allergic to this house, OR doing a final rinse with bottled water is insufficient, and the water really is just that bad. I did take a proper shower first thing when i got home. I dunno.
Keto had no effect. Also I did have carbs while in hospital. I wasn't exactly sunbathing in my hospital room.
Dandruff shampoo has very temporary benefit. I use it, but I want the scalp I had while in the hospital.
I'd really like to know what I'm missing. When i was in hospital, it was like my dandruff was simply switched off. and coming home, it switched on again. And it was almost immediate both ways.
I'm wondering if it could be mold? I never had dandruff but I went out of state and stayed at an airbnb and I got dandruff since being at that airbnb
@@itsmidtrib1569 Could be. This area has a lot of mold problems. That would be my prime suspect if it's just "the house" causing it.
Late at night when I've gone to bed, if I listen very carefully I can hear tiny voices from my head. They say almost imperceptibly "there's a fungus among us" Now I know why!
I concur, had dandruff issues all my life, stopped eating sugar and the dandruff disappeared.
My case was different, I ate healthy exercise daily, still got dandruff. Went to dermatologist gave me some sort of oil and a very specific shampoo, after 4-5 times its gone like a charm
Do you maybe remember which Kind of oil ?
@@Marcel-j6t it's Clobestrol Propionate with salicylic acid.
@@exKGBagent Merci , i appreciate it.

Months ago I was affected by Dengue, and for 7 days I couldn't eat a single grain of rice for vomiting. And in that time I saw my skin, hair was shining, even after not taking daily shower and my body lost 9 kg
I've been alright for years. Affected me for over 10. My advice is, throw away body washes, shampoos, face washes and moisturisers and only get SLS and paraben free products. This will stop irritation. Go to the doctors and get bloodwork done, make sure you don't have any allergies or deficiencies in vitamins for example. Failing all that just eat as little carbs or processed sugars as possible. Meats, vegetables and grazing foods like nuts, fruits etc.
If i should eat little meat carb sugar vegetables wtf should i eat then 😭
@@yahiaamr5226 I meant eat as little carbs and sugar, but eat more of the following.. meats etc. Sorry my english isn't perfect
@@josephkeen288 its alright thanks for the information tho
@@yahiaamr5226 If i am craving carbs and I know I'm going to cave in, I'll try to get my carbs through root vegetables, potatoes, onions, carrots etc. But not like fries or onion rings.
In India we use fenugreek seeds to get rid of dandruff and get shiny hair. Soak two teaspoons of fenugreek seeds in water over night ..and next morning the seeds would have swollen up so crush the seeds and use some left over soaked water as well and make a paste . Paste doesn’t need to be fine. Apply all over the scalp leave for 15 mins. Wash your hair as normal with a less intense shampoo. Note fenugreek tends to make body cold so leave for less duration if you have asthma or sinus.
I never made the connection, but my dandruff, which I had all my life, hasn't been a problem lately. I also spend most of my time in ketosis. Go fig. Thanks Doc!
Glad to help!

Thank you so much for sharing this info because I needed it. Hope you're enjoying your weekend doc And thank you for all that you do
Amazing you are doing a video on this. I realized that my dandruff went away after I started following Dr berg and doing Keto and changing my eating and fasting. Thank you
Head and Shoulders is okay to my psoriasis compared to most shampoos 3x a week. Sea salt shampoo is okay but it wants you to use it regularly and if not dandruff will go wild. Filtered water on a bath helps a lot. I put 2 liters of boiled guava leaves on my bath mix from time to time.
Hot water baths and the use of keto soap (ketoconazole) can be beneficial for psoriasis.
It is recommended to avoid seafood and chicken for psoriasis management.
Organic shampoos or herbal and ayurvedic powders can be used for hair care.
Applying coconut oil the day after or in the evening of bathing can be helpful.
Guava, especially its leaves and unripe fruit, can effectively reduce sugar levels in the body.
Most importantly do oil baths(loads of castor oil) every tuesday & saturday
i used chatgpt to make my big comment into points
Keto 100% got my dandruff, and other inflammation issues under control.
I stopped eating sugar and dairy and my dandruff and pimples went away in a week. 3 months later I had a kebab with sour cream. 3 giant zits emerged the next day and dandruff unleashed so bad and itchy and took a week to get back to normal
I had it bad all my life till I started eating clean and fasting. Sugar, processed carbs, maybe oils too idk, that stuff will cause bad imbalances in the body. Throws a wrench in everything.
I am prone to severe dandruff since the last 20 years as my scalp is an oil factory. I am a vegetarian and I cannot do Keto easily. I have been using Head and Shoulders since the last 20 years everyday to keep it under control. Every other shampoo including ketokonozole, selenium sulphide etc failed until i found magic (Thanks to fittuber channel). Its a 1:1:1 mixture of Aritha, Amla and Shikakai powder. I just put half a teaspoon into a small cup, mix some water to make into a thin runny paste and use it just like shampoo (If you have longer hairs, then maybe more is required). Sure there is no good smell/lather and is not as convinient as head and shoulders, but I can use it guilt free everyday and it has helped control the sebum production as well because it does not strip the entire natural oil and your body is not forced to produce a ton more.
Regarding shower filter, they only work for a day or two very well and only with warm to hot water then from day 3 they lose efficacy. Thats becuase there is simply not enough time for water to spend time with the filter chemicals to neutralize the chlorine and the hard to treat chloramine. I know this, because I have done this and measured chlorine content everytime. The best thing to do is use a bucket and a mug. Fill the bucket with water. Add a pinch of Vitamin C (Pure ascorbic acid) which will neutralize all these bad chemicals almost instantly. Use that water to take bath. Not as convinient as shower, but then you decide the advantages. The other thing to do it use is whole house filtration system - these are good but cannot be used for shower alone as these filters cant stand hot water. Whole house filteration system can run out fast if you use that filtered water to water a huge garden. Just do the math and get it installed. Hope this helps.
Hey doc, can you do a video on alopecia areata on the beard or elsewhere? I think many people would appreciate it. Thank you for all the work you do!
My goodness dr Berg is there anything you don't know about the body. Lol.. you're amazing and I appreciate all the research you do. You sure have helped me start living a better healthy life. I do have a question since you talking bout dandruff lol. Is there a way to reverse grey hair. I take all the hair vitamins. Just curious about it. Thanks for the awesome job you do.
I've been washing my hair and body with nothing but baking soda for at least 10 years and my hair and scalp face and everything else s perfect!
Where is the link to the natural shampoo he mentioned at the 9:55 mark?

Thank God I found you! ❤
I love to live with truth and take care of all I can take care of in order to live the best and healthy life possible, to do what I came here for.
You will be rewarded 1 day for exposing the truth.
I think that I should also eliminate fruits, because in the end it is also just sugar. it doesn't matter if you eat a bar of chocolate or an apple, sugar is sugar. does anyone have experience?
Bro man made suger and GOD made will never be the same !
All of your content is just so helpful. Thank you Dr. Berg! :)
My daughter never has had antibiotics and had dandruff for years UNTIL she made her own shampoo and the dandruff went away.
Best solution wash ur hairs with shampoo then apply a lot of plain yogurt keep it on and wash it with warm water only
Ok this seems superficial to even comment on it, but I love the facial hair! 👍 Kinda gives you a new distinguished look. 😁
strangely enough my dandruff has only gone away during a fruit and fruit juice only diet. did for three months and switch to keto with no relapse in symptoms
What's your recommended shampoo, Dr. Berg? Also, thanks for all the enlightenment!
Just stop using Chemical to wash your hair, use it once or twice week and washing with water is enough.
I too had this problem
*Saccharomyces Boulardii for Candida.*
Got intestinal candida after taking antibiotics. I battled it for years. I never had dry scalp until this happened to me. I was using head & shoulders, but knew it was only a temporary solution. I started buying this tea tree scalp spray to spray on my head when it became inflamed/irritated after eating certain foods (sugar, carbs & other things that feed yeast/candida). I also started using tea tree oil shampoo & conditioner. They both worked well, but again - you have to fix the gut for the complete cure. I tried the cadida diet, intermittent fasting (which is something I normally do anyways because I only eat when I'm hungry which is usually 1 meal in the evening), I tried candida supplements/vitamins (spending hundreds of dollars each month) & probiotics ranging from $30-$60 PER MONTH. NONE OF THIS WORKED!!! I tried taking oregano in both extract & pill form, grapseed extract, etc. DID NOT WORK!
Then one day I came across
*what FINALLY helped me & that is Saccharomyces Boulardii.* - the "good yeast." It took me YEARS to find out about this & I was not happy that NO ONE is talking about it nor mentioned it to me all of these years! Sure, what works for one may not for the other, but look at the reviews online for the herbal supplement. I but the "NOW" brand - look at those reviews! SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO WERE CURED BY IT! Or have been helped by it! I no longer have dandruff. Like Dr.Berg said, dandruff is a fungus. It is yeast overgrowth. It causes dander, sensitive painful itchy scalp, migraines, tingling of the scalp, it can make you feel "heavy" mentally & have brain fog! It can even cause the feeling of anxiety! Which is your body telling you that something is not right.
Then after washing the scalp with tea tree shampoo the "weight" lifts, I have more energy, can think more clearly, no anxiety & of course the scalp feels better. But then if I eat something the next day that triggers candida, those symptoms may return & I go straight to my tea tree scalp spray or wash hair with tea tree shampoo & condtioner.
The tea tree spray for head/scalp also helps with migraines or sensitive painful scalp (caused by inflammation of the scalp). I believe persons who experience migraines may benefit from the tea tree scalp spray. It works even when advil doesn't.
OH AND BTW, *STAY AWAY FROM IBUPROFRIN!!!* I switched to advice because ALL forms of ibuprofen has a soapy taste and will leave your tongue numb. That's very concerning and never used to be the case! In fact I started taking dye-free ibuprofen from Walmart years ago. They worked great until one day I put a tablet in my mouth which tasted like soap and numbed my tongue. You can go look at the reviews on Walmart about this and see that people are complaining about the same thing. So I went back to red dye form of ibuprofen (washed the dye off & then took them) because unfortunately it's one or the other. Now they are doing it to all forms of ibuprofen which I have tried from several different stores.
Now you cured or not ?
Plz reply
Wait a minute. I did the Ketogenic diet that you recommended along with intermittent dieting. I ate a large salad every night with cheese, chicken, jalapeño, eggs, and lost 30 lbs in one month without exercising, but I always topped it off with Italian dressing (which had no canola). Are you saying that vinegar based products still turn to sugar?
Just dont use too much
Thank you for this! This video came out just around the same time I ran out of shampoo!
Dr. Berg, what is your opinion on the pre/probiotic called “seed”? I see several influencers pushing this product. Thank you.
You mean chia seeds and basil seeds? Been taking with my water, smoothies and yogurt but that would be interesting topic coming from Dr. Berg.
@@marreroma5603 I wasn’t referring to Chia seeds. There is a probiotic and prebiotic product on the market called “Seed”
Agreed. It does go away with head and shoulders
Dr.eric berg DC your sessions are always interesting.earlier i was like i cant watch since your vedio timeline is very long later on it came out of curiosity that pushed me to grab your subject and understand it slowly and one fine day I understood it is way more helpful and it is crazy and deep in terminology and also most particularly it is having potentiality.
It will be very helpful if u could really come up with a vedio regarding Blood infection and dry *psoriactic syndrome*.
Personally probiotics and head and shoulders seemed to work great for me.
I'll have to give these a shot. Thank you!
Sure thing.

Any suggestion for the good shampoo for us who still have this dandruff problems? I’m gonna fix my diet too because of this great video and hopefully will see some improvement
I had no idea head and shoulders was banned in Europe. 😲 How about Selsum Blue, Nizoral, and ketoconazole?
Yeah I do keto and I barely eat any sugar at all. None of that worked. What actually did work was getting a chlorine filter for my shower. Solved my life long dandruff problem overnight.
Yup, my issue has worsened or gotten better, depending on the area in which I've lived. (I'm not a home owner & apt leases run about 12 months.)
In one area, I had to resort to only washing my hair at my parents' place due to the dreadful water supply where I lived that year. At the very same place, I had a friend visit from out-of-town who attempted to rinse his face and screamed when the water went into his eyes. (That's saying something, because he was from a coastal town where everyone knows the chlorine is strong.) Meanwhile, the apt people had told me that I was "just sensitive" when I called to ask what was going on with the water supply.
I bought a "zero water" pitcher that I would use for a cold douse/rinse when I absolutely had to wash my hair there. 🥶
just replaced all our filters very important
Interesting….i noticed I started getting dandruff when I moved to a very dry climate
Hello @geored5420 which one do you recommend
Yes this works heard about it from a lot of people
I had very bad dandruff, eating healthily, using keto as my base, i now noticed that i have zero dandruff. You are appreciated, Dr Berg.
does it come back?
@@egyptstar9966 to date no dandruff. 🤗
Dr Berg, could you please make a video on safe and non-toxic cookware, e.g. pans, saucepans, dishes, etc?
I would Like this as well.
Same pls do one on this
Glass and clean wood only.
Stop using heated plastic, it is quite toxic.
Also silicon bake tools are only good to medium temperatures, and offgas in boiling temperatures.
Heavy metal and chemicalless Ceramic also, as well as glass and clean wood tools
Also those nonstick pans contain chemical which causes birth defects longterm, undeniable.
I have learned more medicine from Dr Berg than 4 years of pre med studies in college
Me too ❤️ I have learned a lot
Wow
I can actually confirm, I tried no carb diet for two weeks. I had a huge dandruff for almost 20 years. During this no-carb phase the dandruff completely vanished.
What type of meals you eat?? Bfast/ lunch/ dinner
@@JoseRodriguez-bu7zq Boring ones!
Issue is for us body builders we need carbs
@@psychgaming.4397 and runners
What about after the 2 week period? Did you continue with keto? And if you did not, did your dandruff problem go away?
I cured mine with a B12 supplement. It literally dissapeared.
Which B12 supplement did you use?
Is there connection with b12 ? Which supplement brand I should get ? I’m from India
Cool 👍 thanks for sharing!
@@Topdealmaker Chicken liver gives plenty. Easiest source.
@@ArthurZakaryan23 I use a brand here in Germany called Tetesept. I used a heavy dose of 2000 IU a day, and then brought it down to around 800 IU a day.
A video on seborrheic eczema would be much appreciated, Dr Berg.
Use apple cider vinegar, undeluted every 2 days, within a week or less it will be gone, make sure to use undeluted acv
Yes u would love that as well!
With seborrheic dermatitis and possible psoriasis, do not use olive or coconut oils on the scalp. It feeds the yeast & causes more irritation. Instead use sweet almond oil, jojoba and pure organic castor oil.
I’d be surprised if he hadn’t made at least one video on this.
Agree🤗
If doctors actually healed people.. they couldn't buy a boat. I don't do conventional doctors anymore. My mom is dying from diabetes.... the medication her doctor is giving her is making her worst. I try to help her with a serious diet change... but, she won't hear of it... only the doctors can save her life. Very sad.
My aunt is the same way!!! 😊
For a short term fix I can recommend apple cider vinegar. Just use it similar to a conditioner. Use a diluted solution, at least 1:3, massage it into your hair and let it there for a couple of minutes while you wash the rest of your body. If you have some bloody spots it will hurt at first. Then it helped me to leave it on longer... usually until it stopped hurting. The next days you will likely get some skin build up... but after 1-3 days it will be gone and underneath will be fresh, healthy skin. Anyway... rinse it out and let your hair dry. It won't be smelling very nice at first... buuuut as soon as it dries this scent will disappear.
I had these problems since my puberty... all the special shampoos and the special creams from my doctors didn't help anything. It just got worse and worse.... I still have these outbreaks from time to time.. usually when I'm under a lot of stress. Most times I can fix it by just slowing down and taking care of the stress... If it's too severe, the ACV still works like a charm.
I have used Apple cider Vinegar for many years, and it is the only remedy that can give me relief from psoriasis..
But you need to do it continusly because it will always return, if you dont use it…
Its very painfull in the beginning but you just need to go true the pain, you will be happy with the resultat !
The best remedy is to buy Amla and Shikakai powder. Mix 2 tablespoons of each with some boiling water. Apply on your scalp gently rubbing for 5min. Then leave it in for at least 20min/while you're taking a bath. Then rinse it with pure water. It takes some time and is a mess but worth it! After you have to wash your hair only once or twice a week. It is strong and shiny. No shampoo, no conditioner needed any more. (You can use silicone-free shampoo once a while if you don't have time for the procedure..)😊
I had severe dandruff and itchy scalp when I was 13 back in the '70's. Derma doc told me to use Ivory dish soap, watered down with distilled water, I did and it went away. When Dawn dish soap came out, I used that. Later in life, I had a severe reaction to a sulpha drug, doctor told me not to use shampoos with sulphates in them. I switched recently from Dawn/water to Dr. Berg's shampoo and I love it. It's the only shampoo I've been able to use since 1969!
I had at times very bad dandruff and never knew why. I wasn’t even thinking about dandruff but after I went KETO and IF, I noticed I no longer had dandruff. I was shocked and happy at the same time. I would’ve never thought that would happen. So many things are getting fixed with just diet.
Dr. Berg, I've suffered with dandruff for the last year or so. I've gone through my 20s with no scalp issues: I've always had great, healthy, shiny hair and a healthy scalp. My mom passed away last year, and as a result of the deep despair I faced I started eating garbage (lots of carbs and sweets) and drinking alcohol excessively. I got covid in October and my scalp issues got worse in November/December. Started shedding like crazy, dandruff was crazy, itchiness like I've never experienced. I went to my doctor, they told me there wasn't a lot they could because if it's caused by covid, they don't know enough to help me. 😒 I refuse to take "there's nothing we can do" as an answer. I knew I had put on weight and was unhealthy but I didn't realize how bad it was. I went back on keto, doing one meal a day, taking several vitamins, and now I'm doing the carnivore diet for a little while, incorporated organ meats (beef liver jerky from WF to start, then actual liver once I figured I could stomach it. Very aware of the potential for hypervitaminosis), exercising: weight lifting and running, making sure I get out for at least 2 hours of sunlight and fresh air every day. My scalp and hair are feeling normal again. I still get itches here and there, but the shedding is virtually non-existent. I'm still washing my hair with city (Chicago) water - and I'm going to get a good filter - but it's amazing how I've been able to reverse my issues with diet. My hair, which was always a light to medium brown, had turned a corpse gray/black while I was unhealthy, the color is coming back into my hair. Truly incredible to watch this transformation I'm going through. Thank you so much for putting out this information and I hope my story inspires someone to finally make the change.
Also the little patch of psoriasis on my leg is practically gone - I suspect that's due to diet plus vitamin D/UV exposure.
That’s a heck of a testimonial!! May the force always be with you!! 🙏🏻😃👍🏼
Thank you for your testimony! I caught Covid in December of 2021 and noticed my scalp has been inflamed and very itchy since. And recently I have experienced some small patches of hair loss. I have also changed my diet. I switched up my diet just a few short days ago & I already noticed a slight difference in my skin. A healthy diet is the way to go. I must cut out the excess sugars! I forward to reporting back my results!
When you had severe dandruff did you has massive hair loss? I am not sure if that could be my cause to so much hair loss.
Typically doctors default to "theres nothing we can do"
I stopped using detergent shampoo a long time ago and use argan oil shampoo instead. It seemed to have helped because I use to get so much sebum build up, that I had to use a stiff scrub brush to break it up!
Brands? Organic?
Such a systematic way of making people understand about the process and the science of solution. Loved it, Eric.
Your hormones may have a lot to do with it as well. Whenever things go haywire in the body it’s worth doing bloodwork to check if you have a condition causing the issue. We are all complex and it’s never just one thing. I did keto and that is when my dandruff issue began.
Could be the endocrine disruptors in the products we use
How long did you do keto? Getting started causes all kinds of problems with stored toxins getting dumped into your blood. Give it time and make sure you are eating high quality keto not cheap crappy meat.
For me I think that happen the same. When I start to consum more fat the situation goes worse.
I had my wisdom teeth out and they made me take antibiotics, a week later i had the most annoying, gross dandruff. Thanks for helping me make the connection.
Same!! I could not understand where all this dandruff was coming from!
Same. I took some for a infected toe and the next week I had dandruff. I still have it three weeks later. Also the antibiotics made me gain weight. I’m like WTF!
Did you guys cure it with probiotics?
I had dandruff my whole life until I went keto. At first I didn‘t even realize it was gone, just like my receeding gum line on my teeth & bleeding gums . . . just started to regenerate (get healthy). It‘s crazy how manythings improved: sleep, energy, digestion, cognitive strength/ concentration. Thanks Doc 🙏 you had a direct impact in my success!!
God bless and keep you 💞 & Mrs. B & kids & Charlie!
@rocketscientist66 Icured my dandruff, dry knees and elbows by drinking orange juice mixed with lemon juice and i put 2 old, clean pennys in the gallon of juice. Dont use new pennys as they contain zinc. I drink a quart a day.
@@glennerd3125 Don‘t think Dr. B would wanna test your blood glucose or insulin levels after all that fructose. Lemons and their juice are super, the oranges usually are loaded with too much sugar. But if it works for you, great! Anything‘s better than drinking cocacola, sweet-tea or mountain dew, that‘s for sure 😉
Did your receding gum line stop and regenerate??
@@saifmd7001 Yes it did, totally. But you maybe should add up all the factors: clean, healthy, whole foods. I also started drinking every morning a big, hot „bulletproof“ coffee with butter, coconut oil, cream, almond milk, strong coffee of course and added about 7 diff. spices: tumeric, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, black pepper, cayenne pepper, pink himalayan salt, a little stevia. This coffee is my addiction, spicy and sweet 😋 and it gives me energy the whole day. I usually eat lunch at 1-2pm and sometimes have something small for dinner (before 6pm), so I get my intermittent fasting. Many times I just eat OMAD, plus I like to do a 2-3 day extended water fast once a month with just water and herb tea (no coffee, no BP-coffee). My hair, teeth, skin and nails are much healthier! I am much healthier overall
@@Rocketscientist66 thankyou ..much appreciated
I stopped using shampoo altogether a month ago.
First hair reaction was to grease after 2-3 days. I continued to use only water. The grease disappeared. My hair look clean and healthy all the time. Dandruff is gone.
Now I'm thinking of applying something my grandfather did, who has the best hair his while life, which is vinegar. Maybe with some olive oil, like a hair mask.
Look into neem oil, neem is antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, and antiparasite. Neem oil is also great at helping heal and moisturizer to the skin, it does not smell good though at all
Neem oil maybe twice a month?
A million thanks for shedding light on this topic. But where is the link for a good chemical free shampoo which Dr. Berg mentioned at 9:54 .... I'm unable to find it😢
Don't use anything on the scalp. Just wash the hair using clean water and comb the hair every time when you take a shower.
@@pavithrasemasinghe1757 but we need something to clean the scalp right

@@venus1604 sure.ur Email ID and where do u live ?
@@ramizpatil Are you vegetarian?
Please tell me.
Can I follow keto diet while still being vegetarian?
@@VDO_Abhishek_Beniwal i am not a vegetarian. But u can easily follow keto diet. Just focus on more variety of vegetables (avoid soyabean products) and add oat flour to your rotis . I prefer jowar plus oats flour. Don't strictly follow keto but try consume low carb food. Two major things played role in my diet 1. No sweet at all (try erythrol if can't resist) 2. Intermittent fasting ( no food after 6-7 pm and next meal after 9-10 am) Add dahi, buttermilk, isabgol, nuts, seeds, sugar-free electrolyte (ketofy), ghee, lemon juice, amla-aloe vera juice to avoid digestive issues. Lastly excercise but not too intense ( walking, running , old school ground excercise and if u like then weight) .
@@ramizpatil thanks brother 🙌
Appreciate the info Dr Berg. However if you are suffering with severe dandruff like seborrheic dermatitis and possible psoriasis on the scalp, ⚠️ please never use coconut or olive oil on your scalp⚠️ these oils irritate the scalp 3x worse! Instead use: sweet almond, jojoba or organic castor oil. Trust me it works for we who suffer with scalp conditions. I pray this helps someone. 🙏🏼
Eating coconut oil kills dandruff.
That's true Castor oil helped me with this condition. Mine started when I moved to a cold country.
@@thilagadebeyer2559 it has really helped me too!

@@companyconfidential6624 absolutely

I agree totally with the findings and conclusions of this vlog by Dr. Berg. My chronic case of dandruff totally disappeared when I embraced the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting in my lifestyle three years ago.
Great!!!

There was no "GOOD SHAMPOO link down below" as you mentioned at 9.54
I fixed my diet a few months back to loose weight and my dandruff drastically reduced as a consequence. I 100% agree with the science of this. I also used a probiotic hair serum from living proof that perfected the treatment.
Dr.Berg, following your recommendations I have lost 80lbs and no longer have symptoms of Fibromylagia that plaqued me for 10 years. Thank you!
Check out Stefan Molyneux's podcast, especially the call-ins, for the Fibromyalgia... it may have nothing to do with diet, much to do with psychology & philosophy.
Congratulations Becky 😀

@@exnihilonihilfit6316 Part of her post, "and no longer have symptoms of Fibromylagia that plaqued me for 10 years."

@@AngelsandDragonfliesAIVideos That's great, but the issues that causes may still be there, even if not to that degree...

Hi! I'm over 50 and have suffered from an itchy, flaky dermatitis scalp for over 30+ years. I have very thick wavy hair and tend to get a lot of build up. I recently used a baking soda rinse and then a charcoal detox shampoo and it helped my scalp feel better and so clean. I highly recommend it.
Organic cloves and rosemary tea rinse your hair. I just let it dry on. It makes it warm calming very mild tingling sensation for hours.
Well I don't have dandruff but I definitely have a vitamin D deficiency. I just came to tell Dr. Berg thank you for his knowledge. I started taking supplements and I'm already feeling better. I have pre-existing conditions that make it really easy to miss new symptoms by assuming it's an exacerbation of those conditions that are causing the issues. But I was soooooo fatigued for the last month, I knew there was something else wrong. The level of exhaustion scared me, and i was constantly falling asleep. After just a few days on supplements, I am already feeling better! I'm back to my 8 hours instead of 12 hours, plus naps lol
I’ve dealt both with fatigue and weakness too (autoimmune disease at play) but vitamin D has helped me tremendously too
I suck at consistency it’s definitely needed
Dr. Berg I have used Listerine (original gold color), which has thyme oil, on my skin for sebborheic dermatitis flare ups and it works. But I am concerned about the other chemicals in it so I'm not sure if I should be using that. Very curious what you think about that. Thank you!
