The Dr. Berg Show LIVE - March 20, 2026

Welcome back everyone. We're here with another Q&A. Anything and I say is not meant or intended to cure or resolve any problems you have. It's just information food for thought. Check with your doctor before implementing any of the suggestions. That being said, let's dive right in. Steve, over to you. Thank you, sir. Happy Friday, world. And uh let's get kick it off with Donna from Rumble. Can too much vitamin D cause you to have chills with no accompanying fever? What do you think, Doc? You know, I I would say um it's probably more likely that something is in that vitamin D tablet because it's usually not vitamin D that does that. Our bodies were evolved to have a lot of sun and a lot of vitamin D. Just think about it. Uh if you're out in the sun for 20 minutes, maybe in the summer, maybe 30 minutes, you're getting 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3. So then you take vitamin D. Is it you're going to get the chills? It's usually something they put maltodextrin in these tablets. That's one thing they do. And also it could be uh potentially uh some of the other things that you're missing that that can create a problem with vitamin D being absorbed and that would be magnesium, vitamin K2, zinc, but primarily magnesium. So I would say no. Check for other things um and see if it's really that vitamin D. Um yeah. All right. Speaking of other things, Christina 3005 from Rumble. Why are my doctors telling me not to take K2? Is it because I'm already on blood thinners and she thanks you? That's probably more more like likely what it's not that they don't know. It's just that anything that revolves vitamin K whether one or two it's like oh you need to avoid it. There's uh conflicting data on that because uh if you're on a blood thinner vitamin K1 is the one that is uh you want to avoid right because it creates clotting. Um, however, there is some data that shows that vitamin 2 might also be an issue. It's kind of a catch 22. Um, I'm going to just have you, you know, get with your doctor, follow their advice, but, um, maybe you can get on a blood thinner that doesn't involve the blockage of vitamin K. Um, and then you could maybe take vitamin K2. Be why? Because what does vitamin K2 do? It prevents the buildup of calcium in the artery, lowering your risk of heart problems. So, here you are taking a uh something to help you not clot, yet at the at the price of being uh vitamin K2 deficient. So, it's kind of a it's definitely a situation. I right now I have um a document that has all of the side effects from medications. And it's quite fascinating because now with AI, you could slice and dice it to see really what's going on with medications and interactions and compounding different medications. Um and it's uh I'm going to be doing a video on that, but it's mind-blowing. It's like for so many years it's been siloed because we haven't seen this connection. But uh iotrogenic diseases are our number three deaths. That's like that's that's deaths that come from errors with medication or medical treatment. So I think what's happened over the years is everything's been inverted. Um now a lot of the medications are creating more problems for you than you're trying to get rid of. So anyway, uh back to vitamin K2. I think um you're going to have to find other ways of keeping that calcium lowered in your blood, which one is magnesium. That can actually help do some of the heavy lifting that vitamin K2 is supposed to do. All right, very good. Let's move over to Teresa from YouTube. Which supplements are essential to treat my diabetes? My She says A12. I think she means A1C is 8.3. I need help. Thanks. She says, "Yeah, the the most important thing you have to do regardless of any supplement is to lower your carbohydrate because you're getting a lot of um uh exposure to glucose in in the arteries and 80% of diabetes actually comes from your liver making glucose. The way to solve that is to fix insulin resistance. How do you do that? You maintain a very low carb diet while you do at the same time intermittent fasting. So, I would literally if you have that high A1C, which is um pretty high amounts of blood sugar going on, I I would um highly recommend you only eat one meal a day, low carb, until that comes down. There are other things you can do to speed up the process like bourberine for example that can mimic some of the effects of um metformin which is going to help lower the uh production of glucose from your liver so your liver is not making so much glucose also regular exercise essential vitamin D magnesium very important in keeping your blood sugars stabilized you know a lot of it's not so obvious vious. I would every once in a while think, well, what would a medium McDonald French fry hurt me? Just periodically. And then I read as a 150 gram of carbohydrates in a medium. I have since given them up. That's simply not. Steve, if you if you like if you like potatoes that much, you can eat them raw. Um, eat them raw with some salt. Uh, you can pickle them. Of course, they don't really taste as good, but it's it becomes very resistant starch. And so, um, that's one thing you can think about doing. Yeah. Lori's been air frying them for me. And they're really quite good. So, yeah. Yeah. As long as you don't, you see, you can't air fry them. You can't cook them. You have to eat them raw or else don't eat them, unfortunately. I'm sorry to reveal that. All right. Well, they're work in progress. All right. Let's see. Uh, how about Tabitha from Facebook? Which supplements would be good to heal the scarring of the lungs? Ouch. There's a standard process product called Empllex that uh I used to use when I was in practice. I I'm I'm not affiliated with that company, but it's called Emplif. It's it's for COPD. It's you would take one before bed. Um so it helps to um deal with a lot of things. Antibodies built up to your own your lung tissue, uh scar tissue. uh also maybe take more toatrininals for vitamin E which actually can help break down some of the scar tissue and then ultimately the best thing to do is to um do prolong intermittent fasting because then you can create some autophagy which you can kind of clean up some of the scar tissue that's residual in there. So I would do like probably every month I would do a three-day fast. All right, very good. Let's kick it off with today's first question, sir. And there it is. What do cancer and parasites have in common? An eerie question. How awful. Okay, let's go to James from YouTube. What are the best supplements to take in addressing neuropathy? There's two. benthotamine which is a fat soluble B1 which penetrates uh the myelin sheath and goes right in there and it does wonders for peripheral neuropathy that's been affected uh mainly by diabetes and then number two is alphaloic acid. Uh both of those uh have a little different mechanism but they work really good on restoring the nervous system in the extremities also in your hands as well. All right, let's go to Maria from Facebook. Will you be speaking at this year's uh Hack Your Health event in November? Heard of that? Yeah, I I don't know. I don't know. Um I'm not sure. I am going to be speaking at uh a presentation. I think it's going to be in March or May in Tennessee. I can't remember the dates, but I'll be speaking there. And then also Joe Solitin's uh farm will be speaking in November. But I don't have anything else else planned right now simply because I got myself a little on the busy side lately. All right, Maria, stay tuned. Let's go to Ms. Aura USA from Facebook. What are your suggestions for thyroid nodules? Sounds scary. Well, I think um a couple things that may help um uh I taking iodine can sometimes help those go away because they tend to grow when they're deficient in iodine. Um and then also selenium is a is a good thing to take as well. Those I would research both of those and see if you might need them. All right, very good. Let's move on to Vera J from YouTube. Can I reduce my sleeping time if I reduce my meals to one or two a day? Interesting question, I guess. Um I I think by cutting down the number of meals, the requirement of sleep definitely goes down a bit, but I I wouldn't I wouldn't try to cut it. I mean, it depends how many hours of sleep you're getting. I mean, that sleep is so underrated. Like you if you can get eight hours, man, just jump on do do that. It's such a great investment in your health long term. I had a bad habit or a viewpoint on that long ago because I was like, well, I'm just going to get more done, so I'm going to get up earlier and get by with six, six and a half hours of sleep. Not good. Not good advice. Um, so I get uh seven and a half on a regular basis uh with naps occasionally because that sleep is super important. Not just for energy but for health and blood sugars and but uh but the need for sleep definitely goes down when you actually improve these other lifestyle factors. All right, good. Jody Mama one from Facebook. What is a recommended daily protein allowance? Uh I've told us uh roughly 130 grams for my particular weight. You want to do the math? We know we don't want to know how much Jody weighs, but what do you think per pound is? What was this? Protein. Yeah, she wants to know how much of her given weight. They told her um that it was 130 grams. So, I guess we're supposed to solve for X. There's different formulas for how much protein you need, and it also depends on your ability to digest that protein, your age, your activity level, and of course, your weight as well, um, and the quality of protein. I I think I would not follow those formulas. I would instead test the waters and see how you feel on this range of protein, which is going to be between 6 and 8 ounces per meal. Okay? Just check and see how you feel and play around with those amounts. Um, but make sure it's animal protein, high quality. All right, let's go over to I love this handle and we've heard from her before. Mom of three hunters from Rumble. I have cataracts. I'm sorry to hear that. And take uh a carnos acetal carnosine. Did I say it? Inetal carnosine or nacetal carnosine. Yeah, not the cyine. The carnosine. Yeah. Thank you, sir. And is there a limit to how long I should take it or should I continue it as a preventative measure? I would take it as preventive, especially if you have it. Uh it's been some great research on it and it's I mean they're using this if you just look on Amazon for dogs it's like first of all it's hard to find on Amazon you have to go outside Amazon for some reason but if you look for dogs they have n acetal uh not cyine but it's carnosine n acetal carnosine that's the one you need and they they're using an inid dogs and you see these amazing results so we know it's not placebo um on dogs. So why can't it work on humans? Well, it can. And so you and especially if you had them, you can use them to prevent it as well, especially as you age. Um but oh my gosh, you know, if you compare that during uh versus a cataract surgery, I'll take the drops. And these drops, um you can get them as well, uh online and other places. I have videos on this, but you put the drops on the superficial part of the eye. It gets absorbed deep into the eye and it helps as an antioxidant to pre prevent and hopefully even correct the cataract issue that you have. All right, very good. We kind of addressed this, but let's go ahead and do it again for Trish from YouTube. What do you consider too high a level of vitamin D? So there, first of all, there's no agreed upon exact amount of vitamin D in the blood. Number one. Number two, the vitamin D they test in the blood is an inactive form. It's not the active form. It has to be converted for the liver and the kidney. But not only that, it has to go into the receptor into the cell. So what they're testing is not the amount in the cell. There is a lot of super common genetic issues with um this whole process biochemical process of going through the liver and the kidney and being converted. There's also a lot of other barriers of vitamin D going into that last little step called the vitamin D receptor. If you had lime, if you had Epstein bar virus, if you have cancer, if you have parasites, if you have candida, they all downgrade that vitamin D receptor. So, you look in the blood like, oh, I have my my 20 nanograms per milliliter and I'm fine. No, you're not. So, um it's it's important to air on the high side. Now what are the dangers of having what where do you get start getting into danger? Well, if it's over 200 nanogs per milliliter for months, maybe there's some risk there. Maybe. So doctors don't even like it to being up to 100. But when you're using therapeutic dosage, especially for anti-tumor and cancer stuff and autoimmune, you want it to be up there, you know, maybe up to 80, 90, over 100. My I think mine was 120 for a while. I think it's down to 100. But again, for the average person that's not correcting something like I'm trying to get rid of my arthritis, right? So, but for the average person, maybe 60 to 80 would be a sweet spot. That's what I would recommend. Uh just to make sure you have enough. Uh but to get that amount, you have to take at least 10,000 20,000 or more uh of vitamin D every single day. But the co-actors also reduce uh the problems which is hypercalcemia which is too much calcium in the blood like calcium K2 I'm sorry magnesium K2 super important. Wow. So a very noted oncologist on YouTube is constantly harping that virtually every one of his cancer patients has drastically low vitamin D. So I'd rather risk a little more than than a little less. Okay, let's go to Carly 408 from Rumble. My vit we go again. My vitamin D level has dropped from 106 even when I stopped supplementing to a present level of 76. Did I drop it too low in your opinion? I guess not. No, no, no. That's a that's a good range. Uh I like that range. Um but to have it down in the 20s and 30s or less. I actually I could show you on my blood test long ago. Mine was like like 18. And I was like, I had no idea at that time. That's like seriously too low. When 2,000 of your gen your genes are intimately involved with vitamin D and you're going to let it go too low, our bodies have evolved uh with a lot of sun exposure and a lot of vitamin D and now we don't get it. So, um if you're trying to deal with something like autoimmune and arthritis, oh my gosh, super important. All right. Very good. Here's what's super important is paying attention to the audience who has answered our first quiz question of the day, which asked of them, "What do cancer and gross parasites, no, I didn't say that, have in common?" And 74% of our respondents say they both thrive on sugar. 16% say they both attack the immune system. 5% say they both interfere with cell structure. And 5% say they share common antigens. What a smart audience. even if they're wrong, those are very lofty answers. Super smart audience. It's I I'm going to release a video on this, but um there's a lot in common between parasites and cancer. They both evolved um along the same mechanism. In other words, they have very similar survival mechanisms. Now, wait a second. Cancer, cancer is not a microbe. Well, where does cancer come from? It comes from a normal mitochondria that used to be a microbe. That's right. Our powerhouse in our cells used to be bacteria. And then what happens what cancer is, it's a cancer has is an adaptation off of the mitochondria that it's using its energy source uh right outside in outside the mitochondria in a very ancient old pathway that that also came from micro but the microbes that don't need oxygen. This is why cancer doesn't need oxygen. It can in fact it thrives on low oxygen states which by the way is inflammation. They spread in to areas of inflammation. Um and so the both cancer and parasites have strategically have they have like three or four really common ways that they sh hack and shut down your um your different systems so so they can survive. So, in this video that I'm going to release, I'm going to show you why Ivormectin and other anti-parasitic medications work for cancer. Um, now again, I'm not recommending taking it, but I don't know if I had cancer, I would that would be one of the things I would do simply because it shuts down some of the survival mechanisms that cancer uh uses to survive. Why not? It has very little side effects. You know, you if you have cancer, you want to try many things. You don't want to just do one thing. So, anyway, I'll release that video shortly. All right. Very good. Let's move on to quiz question number two for the day. And there you have it, sir. Why do nearly all potassium supplements come in 99 milligram capsules when the RDAs are 4700 milligrams? Okay, that sounds like a good question. Let's move over to Karen from YouTube. Would you uh would you recommend taking iodine if you have had breast cancer? I hope you're in remission, dear. If so, what uh would be the recommended daily dosage of iodine? Well, there's some research out of Japan, women taking a lot more iodine than the Americans. So, I would I wouldn't tell you how much to take. would just take definitely more than the RDA because iodine is super protective to help regulate the excess amounts of estrogen that's involved in breast cancer. So yeah, iodine, high quality seek help, super vital, super important for women with uh to support healthy breast as well as to lower your risk for cancer. Uh for sure. Wow. Good luck with that. Um, I hope you see some great health in the future. El Campbell from Rumble, is there any natural um thing that helps with cervical stenosis and cervical disc degeneration? So, what we're talking about is in your neck, the spinal column is is kind of uh there's not enough space in there for the spinal cord. And so there's usually arthritis and there's a lot of pain and there's sometimes there's referral pain down your arms and stuff like that. So uh in that case you want to do everything you can to lower inflammation generally in the body. So here's some important things. Lower your carbohydrates. That's number one. Number two, take much higher doses of vitamin K2, which can help remove some of the soft tissue calcium issues uh that are usually developing um in in in arthritis, things like that. Also, I think it's super important to um have enough omega-3 fatty acids. the uh you might want to find um a high quality omega-3 that then you could take four times a day. Okay, split it up so you get a lot more omega-3 to reduce inflammation because that's any all you need to do is reduce just a little bit little bit more uh to create some more space in your spinal column to to deal with that. Uh and then if you can do this uh start doing um stretching exercises in your neck. The safest one to do would be um extension um and not not so much lateral flexion and start maintaining good flexibility in in the joints um to keep things moving unless there's pain when you do it. I'm going to be releasing some videos coming up for mainly arthritis but also stenosis uh that you can start doing that is next level. I wish I would have known this in practice. Um you're going to like this and I'll I'll do series I'll do a series of videos like one for the neck, one for the the shoulder, one for the knee, one for the midback so you can address it. But it's it's awesome. Wow, that's great. Let's go try to go to our green room. Brian Hernandez from Dallas, are you there? Your camera is off, sir. Going to give you There you There you are. Very good. Stand by for just a second, sir. Let me bring you up for the audience. And it looks like you're not driving, so good for you. The trees are moving. All right. Very good. Why don't you go ahead with a question, a quick question for Dr. Berg, please? All right. So, I was wondering like what's the healthiest way to lose fat as a teenager and still grow taller? So um you know when I was in practice I I re I found this uh it's from standard process you could probably get it from Amazon but it's called uh pituitroofen pituitroofen and uh I would recommend that and what it does is nutrition to support the pituitary to maximize or optimize your ability to grow. And I swear when I would put pe kids on that, they would just start growing. And uh like fairly quickly, I was quite amazed. But parallel with that, especially if you have extra weight on your body, I highly recommend you do what most teenagers do not do, and that would be eat this something. I don't know if you ever heard of them. They're called ultrarocessed foods. Have you ever heard of those? Aka junk food. Okay. Yeah, some people have heard about them. But you want to avoid those foods. You want to have meat and vegetables and eggs and cheese mainly. And I'm telling you, if I would have done that as a teenager, I would have been a lot healthier now. But if you start doing that, you lose weight and then the pituiten can optimize that pituitary to help you grow. And then other other thing too, um, because pituitary makes growth hormone. So that's what you're trying to stimulate, but also getting a good night's sleep and then making sure your nutrients are correct. And the main ones that you need right now are trace minerals because those are all the co-actors to help all of the biochemistry do its job. So if you just follow that advice right there, uh you'll probably be a foot taller by next year. And I'll give you You're welcome. I'll guarantee that as well. All right. Good. All right. Keep it up. Thanks for joining us, Brian from Texas. We appreciate you taking your time out to improve the show. All right, let's go to Christina from Portugal on YouTube. What's your opinion on vitamin C in the form of non-GMO elsodium uh escorbate powder? That's a mouthful. So, so yeah, I mean there there's two viewpoints on that. Of course, if you're taking the the vitamin C from nature, there's a lot of different other factors. And I and I do recommend that as the main source, but there is some research and benefit from taking higher doses of ascorbic acid if it's non-GMO. Uh sodium ascorbate is is a good one for certain things like lowering histamines, even decreasing risk of cancer and other things. Uh it has therapeutic benefits. um if I'm not mistaken, it's part of the orthomolecular medicine group that they they recommend higher dosage of certain things like uh B3 uh like vitamin C, which I I like all that research. I like that data and I agree with it and uh uh there's great research on that and evidence to show that that can help you. All right, let's move on to uh let's see, Jacqueline from YouTube. I've been making the yogurt you recommend, but it tastes bitter. Raw roll. What am I doing wrong? Otherwise, it looks really good. So, when you ferment yogurt, okay, you are going to have it eat up all the lactose in there, the milk sugar, okay, and uh it's going to produce um acid forming bacteria. So, the pH is going to drop. Now, think about this. Neutral is seven. Okay? When you go down from 7 to a six, that's 10 times more acid. And then if you go from 7 to five, we times it's 100 times more acid if my math is right. And so with the elderai fermented at 36 hours, we're talking about a pH of like 4.5. It's pretty acid and that's why it's bitter. But I'm telling you, that is the secret sauce right there. It's way more acid than regular uh yogurt, but it's that's what you want because when you consume that, it changes the environment of your gut. So, the bad guys cannot live in there. Think about think about like yeast, candida, all that stuff that you don't want. Um what you know what it does to survive? It produces um ammonia, which is very alkaline as a survival mechanism. So you take this yogurt, you just change the environment so they cannot live anymore. So you've literally starve them off, you kill them off, and now you have the right environment for the good guys to thrive and also come out of remission. They've been waiting for the day that you change the environment. So they've been waiting for you to consume this very acidic, bitter yogurt. But, you know, you can always add some blueberries to it and offset it or uh peacons and see if it doesn't help you. All right, very good. We have quiz question number two for the day which we're going to answer. Why do nearly all potassium supplements come in 99 mgram capsules when the RDA recommends uh 4700 milligrams? And 65% of respondents say that 99 milligram limit will keep the manufacturers from adding mandatory warning labels. 25 That's interesting. 25% say it's based on an older study that linked potassium chloride supplements to bowel lesions. And let's see, uh, 10% say it RDA is low. Excuse me, my little thing's jumping around here. RDA is low, uh, to encourage us to get potassium from our foods. So, you know, I tell you what, the audience once again, these are such lofty answers. They should have their own show. Well, guess what? They have it. It's called the Dr. Berg Live Show. So, thank you guys for being so vigorous in your uh, answers. Now, before I say that, are they all dumb or are they all smart? What? No, they're all very, very super smart. Good. And uh I want to piggyback on that because u you are correct all three. I mean think about a banana is 300 milligrams. So you're 99 milligrams really. But it's really it's not a law that you have to keep it uh at 99 but they do it just because they're uh they want to be they want to just be more conservative. Um, but this is all based on a completely bogus study with a couple other not studies, but information that I just did a video on that I'm going to release. Um, came from 1964, 1965 time era. So, we're talking like 60 to 61 years ago and it's still going on. I mean, you would have to consume 47 tablets just to get your daily amount. And so, what the heck is a 99 milligram capsule going to do? So, there was a there was a study done back in 1964 where they had thide, this is a diuretic, combined with potassium. And the reason they combine is because thioide depletes you of potassium. So they combined it and then they did the study and they found oh wow look at that there's there's certain percentage of people they get lesions in the in the colon. So then without doing another study, a separate study of separating separating those out, they just decided, yeah, it was the potassium. It wasn't a drug. Really, how can you say that? They can't. They just kind of assumed it and then they put it in there and the news took it up and it's perfect for the uh, you know, keeping people on low potassium. When also when we're talking about the Ardas, we're talking about amounts just to give you the bare amounts. I think people need even more than 4,700 milligrams um because of what how important it is for your um nervous system and your muscles and your energy but and also blood pressure too. Um but yeah, it's all based on a ridiculous study that did never even proved it and no one ever actually did another study to show it. But there has been case studies to show that when you take thioide um it actually it it by itself does create ulcers as one of the side effects. So, so to pick potassium and and give that the blame, that would be like blaming saturated fat instead of sugar, which I know they never did that, but um so that's really what happened and that's what it's based on. And uh um I'm going to have a I am going to come up with a supplement that's 500 milligrams just because you're just going to waste your time taking tiny amounts. It's ridiculous. Um, but anyway, that's that's where it came from and uh it's very it's there's no real good information out there on goodness. All right, Sherry wants some information. Sherry 556 from Rumble. Is there any truth that freezing cooked rice and potatoes will alter their starch molecules and make them more fibrous? So, there's some data that shows that you can actually make um starch resistant so it doesn't break down. So, if you think about what starch is, starch is basically this right here. I'll I'll show you what it is. This is what starch is right here. Starch is a string of glucose molecules together. It's a chain. And when you take a potato and you cook it, um, you make the chain very weak. So, then these sugar molecules break down and then you get you get this blood sugar spike. So there's some data to show that if you freeze it, you alter this to a certain way that then now you can eat it and somehow it doesn't it resists the blood sugar effect. Well, go ahead and experiment yourself and test yourself and see if it really works. Do you really think eating a cold potato now is going to get rid of that sugar? The answer is no. um it may reduce things by maybe a very tiny percent but nothing significant. Um now there is certain types of resistant starch like a green plantain but go ahead and try to eat one. You won't be able to. It's disgusting. You can actually even do a raw potato, which again, it's really hard to eat a raw potato, but as soon as you cook these starches, you break down these little chains here to make them easy to break down. Now, if we take another starch, which is malttodextrin, a modified feed starch, they have pro processed it so much, so fragile that this starch, not classified as a sugar, acts more like sugar than sugar acts like sugar. it'll just like the spike the blood sugar. And so then what is the difference between wheat flour and modified food starch? Well, when they use the word modified, that means instead of breaking this down with heat, they use chemicals. So just different process, same same end product, more refined sugar. Well, rats. Lori, take my French fries out of the freezer. Okay, let's move on. Now, we're going to ask quiz or have you asked sir quiz question number three. And there it is. Okay. Of all the medications, which which one causes the broadest side effects? All right. Broadest side effects on the body. Very good. Let's see. Um Mary from YouTube, my daughter is going through chemotherapy right now and she gets pretty nauseous. Ouch. Uh, is there uh anything that you can suggest to help her with the awful nausea? Yeah, B6. But make sure you take the version that is um the five uh the it's a 5 P5 or was it P? It was it five? It's take the active version of vitamin B6. Buy that one. uh don't get the inactive version and um you can look up the name of it, but the point is that that will help with nause uh nauseousness uh very very A to B. That's where it's coming from because it's depleting that B6. All right, very good. Here's our pal um uh channel 4 lynn from Rumble. Good to hear from you again. Uh can uh um thalisma insufficient hemoglobin production be improved through ketogenic diet? It is a hereditary disease in my family. Please share your thoughts. I would definitely try it. I would try it and I would also try another thing which is called exercise with periodic hypoxia training. So they have these masks of high altitude masks that restrict the air. Uh, but we're only talking about restricting the air for like maybe 15 seconds and then while you're exercising, like maybe doing sprints or something, and then you you breathe, you can really uh generate um uh larger red blood cells, more efficient uh blood cells, um more oxygen generation from just doing that. Right. Very good. Let's move on to SS75 from YouTube. Uh, what can help with limpadeema? Could you please do a video on that condition? Thank you. The reason I haven't because I have not found a really awesome therapy that shows significant improvement. So, in the meantime, I would probably use rebounding. I would be doing exercise. I would be working on your thyroid. Uh, things to just generally increase circulation. until something comes out there. But I know I know it's rough because there's not a lot of good information out there. And this is where I live is I'm trying to always find something that works with these conditions that are are very mysterious. Uh the good news is we're going to release an app very soon. We're almost we're this close. That will allow us to really learn about what works for different things using the the masses of people. And so we'll be able to survey a tremendous amount of people with a lot of different issues and see what see what's working for people. So you can then have uh better information than what you might get when you Google it. All right. Very good. Let's go to Skippy 83 from this time Rumble. Which vitamins are best to reverse gray hair? And Skippy, I feel for you, brother, but wait till most of it falls out. Anyway, what can we do to help him with that? So, PABA, magnesium. There's a couple other ones that people try. Uh, obviously you can see that I have some grays here and it's not working for me, but it's it's one of those things where um I think the biggest thing you need to do is to keep your stress under control. Um because when you have a more stress, it activates um a lot of excess hydrogen peroxide that burns out the u the color in your hair and so you become gray. So I think um stress reduction and lots of sleep is going to be the most important and taking a good amount of natural B vitamins. All right, very good. Let's uh go to answering quiz question number three which asked of the audience of all the medications which ones cause the broadest cause the broadest body side effects and a 55% of a respondents say it's antibiotics 20% say it's opioids 20% say it's aspirin and 5% say it's that new thing GLP1s. What do you think doc? So, I think what I'll do, Steve, is I'm going to create I'm going to I'll create I'll create a widget on my uh website where you can you can also type in any medication and get a lot of data on that. But I I've already researched this and out of all the medications, the one that creates the most the broadest spectrum of side effects of the entire body. You ready for this, Steve? Drum roll. Are you sitting down? No, I am. I don't I don't think you're ready for this, Steve. Okay, I'll tell you anyway. Next week. Yeah. Cortical steroids. Huh. The the steroids that I took every year when in my 20s for poison ivy. Unfortunately, it creates the nastiest side effects from just almost every part of the body. Just bad. So, I know people are on steroids. Um, make sure you don't overdo it. And uh it's a trap because it works so well uh but then what happens when it comes back? You keep taking it and then all of a sudden it works less and less and less. It really messes up your adrenals. You see cortical steroids is a synthetic version of cortisol. Your body makes it and what the reason why it lowers your inflammation is because it shuts down your white blood cells. It just makes your immune system paralyzed. And think about what happens then. You have all sorts of things that can happen. You got this entire security guard that's protecting all these things and then you remove that. Wow, you're more susceptible autoimmune and all sorts of issues. So, it's a slippery slope. I don't like steroids and and instead there are much better ways to reduce inflammation. Higher doses of vitamin D3, magnesium, omega higher therapeutic doses of omega-3 fatty acids, turmeric, all super important in reducing inflammation. Um, and even um I know this might be surprising, but even cutting down on seed oils might help you too, Steve. Wow. Okay. Marked down. By the way, can you spend a moment on GLP1s as well, because I've seen some pretty ghastly looking faces in Hollywood that is the aftermath of taking that. What What's going on with that? It will help you lose uh on average 50 pounds in the entire for in a year of doing it. Okay. It actually gets it has a series of beneficial things, Steve. Hunger drops, lose visceral fat, cholesterol gets better. But that 50 pounds that you lost, a very large portion, I think it's 40% of that weight loss is muscle mass. After you stop taking it a year later, almost all of it is regained except for the muscle. You gain the fat back, but you don't gain the muscle. So, it creates a lot of problems on your digestive system, your eyes, and your muscle. Uh, so it's a very slippery slope because it has some benefits, but it comes with a package. And then unfortunately the manu the the companies that sell it are are are literally trying to get people on it for the rest of their life. There's never been any safety studies for that long. So because it's a medication that mimics GLP1 that your body makes. It's an your body has that process but not that strong of a process. it's it's forcing a certain thing to work stronger than it really needs to work and it comes with a package. So, there are much better ways to lose weight and one would be a combination of healthy keto with uh a lot of good prolonged fasting with exercise. It might not compare to it one for one, but it'll be significant enough where it doesn't come with side effects. And I I I don't even think I released my video on that, but I will be releasing a video on this ozambic uh very very soon. All right, thanks for that explanation. Let's go to quiz question number four, and that's for you to ask, sir. True or false? Over 50% of children have at least one chronic health condition, or you could say disease. If that's true, that's very sad. Let's move on to Michelle from YouTube. Oh, here's good old cod liver. I bet you're going to say something nice about that. oil better for you than regular fish oils. The difference is that um the cod liver oil has vitamin A and vitamin D. Um so it has some additional things in addition to the omega-3 fatty acids. um the ratios of those omega-3 we're talking about EPA which is general systemic inflammation benefits with DHA which is general raw material for your brain and your retina. Those ratios are are different in cod liver oil where we have a bit more um DHA than EPA. So personally I take the cod liver oil but some people do fish oils. If you're going to do fish oils, make sure you find something super quality. Um, but the cod liver oil has been one of those things that have been, you know, your your grandmother probably gave you some with a teaspoon. We've we've taken it for a long time and because we're so deficient in vitamin D, that's a one source that uh probably can help you. All right, very good. Here's a question from Jeanie from YouTube. What are your thoughts about using organic beef tallow on the skin? a very popular show, The Land Man, shows one of the bathing beauties sort of lathering it on herself. So maybe that's where it came from. But beef tallow for the skin, you know, both beef tallow and even lard. And I know you're going to say, "Oh, that's disgusting." If you have some high quality saturated fat like that, um it definitely mimics the oil on your skin and it really helps. So I'm all in favor for it. And I think um most people do tail, but they don't do lard. So um I personally think there could be more benefit to the lard, but it's hard to find it. And of course um you know, I don't want to give people the wrong impression that after you, you know, fra your bacon, just use that grease on your face. I'm not saying that, okay? I'm talking about, um a higher quality, you know, organic version of the lard, which is pig fat. Interesting. All right, go folks. Uh let's answer quiz question number four which asked of the audience. True false. Over 50% of children have at least one chronic health condition. 95% of our respondents say that unfortunately it's true. And 5% say no way. They're all healthy. Isn't this interesting, Steve, that it's it's true. It's this high. So you have 50% of kids that have some type of chronic I mean this is that's insane incredible yet we're spending we actually we spend the most of any um um you know country in the world that is uh more advanced and apparently more advanced but I don't think that's the case in health but um we spend so much money yet we're we're last as far as children's 's health. So, right now you're seeing a huge fight in the media and social media to try to keep things the same. Well, how do you expect to change the health of the kids, the children, right? They're going to take care of you when you get older um if they're but how are they going to take care of you if they need to be taken care of? Like, it's ridiculous. So, obviously, something needs to change really fast. Uh because this is our kids. This is this is not a political thing. It's both. You have sick people on both the right and the left. So anyway, I think um it's something that we need to put attention on and uh I have a lot of videos on it. So hopefully people are watching those. Okay, we have an opinion that just shot by on YouTube and it's from Thomas and he says, "Avoid eating salmon. It's full of worms." Any truth to that? It might be, but um if you cook it um you know you can kill the worms. It's the thing is that our bodies were evolved, even us as humans evolved with a lot of worms and parasites. Did you know, Steve, that there's even a therapy of giving people worms to get rid of their allergies and even reduce their autoimmune disease? I'd rather die. No. No. It's it's we become so sterilized. we're so afraid of worms. I'm not saying, you know, you know, start bathing in in worms. I'm just saying that these microbes help keep our immune system trained. And when we sterilize, starting with a kid and eat all these pasteurized foods and sterilization, we don't get that immune strength that we need. So, yes, there's probably worms and other foods as well um that um kind of gross you out, but also think about our water, right? Our water wellwater. It has it has microbes in there. Um city water chlorinated, look where that got us. Had florine. So, I think um there's a there's a lot to be said with a gap between how our bodies were evolved with microbes and where we are now in a sterile environment with a weak immune system that we apparently need massive doses of vaccinations to be healthy. Really? Um now, people will say, well, yeah, but modern medicine has really helped uh longevity with children because they're living longer. Well, was it really the medicine or was it really just cleaning up the sewage in these confined cities that we used to live in? Um, it because you have the concentrated, you know, waste going on on the sidewalks and all that. That's really what created it, you know. So, it's it's not more medication. Medication has just made us uh sicker and sicker. It's a cleaner environment. But, I think there's a lot to be said with even kids that live on a farm uh having their immune system. And I even think that um when they people do grounding, they're walking barefoot like on the grass. I think they're picking up more more microbes, I think that's creating probably a bigger benefit than anything. So, um again, we're trying to strengthen our immune system. So, I'm all for uh more exposure to microbes. All right. Very good. Let's expose the audience to quiz question number five. And there it is. Our true false. There are beneficial microbes in the plants that you eat, like the salad that you eat. Speaking of microbes and slimy things, right? Right. Let's go to Katie from YouTube. What's the best remedy for an iron deficiency? You usually warn about iron, but she doesn't have enough. Iron is one. Now, if you're uh menrating, of course, you really need to probably get some iron, but I would recommend it from either liver or liver tablets or uh red meat um or even spleen tablets, not the the type of iron that they give you with, you know, with geratl because that's like a iron that's not very um gentle on the body and our bodies do not have a good way of getting rid of iron. So, uh, you want to air on the side of less iron, but, um, I would get your, uh, iron from animal meat, mainly, uh, red meat. Um, but if you're menrating, that's a different story. So, you might want to just get some, um, iron tablets through, uh, liver liver sources. Okay. Nigel from YouTube. What's the recommended daily dose of magnesium, vitamins D3, and K2 for a 7-year-old boy who is very active in sports? Well, the RDAs for an adult uh female is like 380 for magnesium and 420 for men. So, I would I would say, but that's RDA. So, that's just the bare bones. We probably need double that or triple that. So, with a child, realize too, they're only going to absorb a certain amount of it depending on how much they have. Uh, so they might um I should probably do a video on that. Yeah, that just I probably should because it's all about how much you absorb and the type you take of magnesium. So, uh 7-year-old boy, I would um uh maybe find something with um you know, 200 milligrams of magnesium. Um, as far as the vitamin D goes, um, maybe you take 2,000. Uh, um, I use of vitamin D3 and you can get that in a liquid. And then, yeah, usually comes with K2 and, um, so if you get the right one. Uh, and then as far as what other nutrient were they asking about other than vitamin D3 and K2 and magnesium? Oh gosh. Um, I forget. I raised the question not to ask it. That's fine. All right. Well, let's uh here's something that we can talk about and that is quiz question number five. Boy, did they blow through that. True or false? There are beneficial microbes in the plants that you eat. And 100% of the audience said, "Yep." Yeah. People don't look at at uh plants having microbes, but it comes right from the root and it goes up into the plant. You're actually it's a it's a it's like a borders on a probiotic. The problem is was your vegetables grown on hydroponic which is like water or soil? Chances are it's hydroponic or aeroponic. And does it have the same microbes? I don't think so because the microbes live in the soil. You have this water flushing through. How you going to get the same microbes? So this is why the vegetables from a garden or a small farm is always better. Um, I'm going to turn my farm into a lab to prove that this year, Steve, so stay tuned for that. But, uh, there's nothing better than a salad right out of your garden or tomato right out of your garden. You're you're getting a lot of microbes in there beneficial. Same thing with a cow. Cow eats the grass. They're getting so many microbes. And all that grass cannot be digested by a cow. All the hay that I feed my cows, they're not digesting. It's the microbes and then they eat the microbes that have the protein. So, they're getting some really interesting nutrition from microbes, but the microbe is doing the heavy lifting of of converting that grass into protein. Incredible. That's fascinating. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Now, we've gotten through all our homework with the quiz questions and the call-in guests. So, now it's going to be an absolute fivem minute marathon of social media questions. Kicking off with Vincent from Rumble. I will have high calorie keto meal followed by a healthy bowel movement. Thank you for that. And I feel hungry again as if I had nothing to eat. Is this normal? Also, what causes painful hiccups? So hiccups, I mean it's a gallbladder thing going on, which then might indicate that you're not digesting the fat in that keto meal. So you might want to add some some bile salts after the meal to get more absorption of the fat soluble nutrients so you can be satisfied. You also have something called dopamine hunger which is not true hunger. It's more like uh boy I just need a little something. I don't know what it is but maybe a little sweet or a little this. But you're not hungry. It's more of a dopamine issue. So, I think what I would try to do if I were you is I would just eat a little more food and then make it maybe more spicy or more nutrientdense and add um some bile salts at the end of that meal to help you extract the fat soluble nutrients so you won't have that those additional symptoms. All right, let's go to Pat from Facebook. What are the best foods to eat and heal injured muscles? For for a muscle to heal, you need uh amino acids. Uh collagen would be very important because you can't really get enough collagen from just steak or even hamburger. You need to have probably a collagen supplement with vitamin C and zinc and trace minerals. All of those are necessary as the raw material to help you your your muscles heal. So, um trace minerals are the biochemical that allow the biochemical pathways to work, but then the collagen is going to be the icing in the cake. Um, interesting because when you have collagen, straight collagen, and I put it in my coffee, um, it actually can direct certain, uh, peptides or certain proteins, uh, to create other effects of healing and repair that that don't happen when you eat just regular meat. The more tender the meat, the less collagen, too. So again, these are just all the raw materials that you need to heal. Um but also, um you know, to keep the inflammation down, make sure you don't do high carbs. All right, this sounds like an interesting question from CoQ Bunny from YouTube. Can protein fully replace carbs in terms of nutrition? Do do you need carbs at all? You don't need carbs because your body can can uh easily make the the small amount of sugar that you that you do need uh from other sources. It's called gluconneogenesis, the formation of new glucose. Um, so but realize if you have just pure protein, you can only use a small portion of that for fuel because fuel only comes from carbs and fat. So you want to make sure you have enough fat for the fuel, not just lean protein all the time. And have a variety of different uh protein sources like eggs and fish and even dairy. and fermented dairy. All right, Michelle, uh from YouTube, what causes sciatica and what's the best healing process? So, a couple things. Uh usually it's coming from a nerve root uh in your lower back that's pinched and uh some people go to chiropractors and get that relief. Um one really important thing that I would do for soda is to keep the arch in your lower back. So, you get a lumbar support like a foam roller. I don't have one here, but you lay back on it for your lower back to really push that curve in the lower back for about 20 minutes every night before you go to bed. And especially if you do a lot of sitting down or driving, keep that curve in there. That tends to keep that nerve root open nicely. U but I do have quite a few videos on sciatica uh problems so you can hit all of the different potential causes. All right, very good. Gosh, we're out of time, but how about we stick over Just for Nothing E4 from YouTube. I have leaky gut and I'm drinking cabbage juice. Can I add salt to it for taste? Absolutely, positively. All right, very good. Well, we're out of time, Doc. Any final words for the audience? Actually, I have nothing to say and so have a wonderful weekend and we will see you next week same time.
