This is completely off topic of FOOD, however, I've got to say something. I'm a pianist, 79 years old, and I've got really bad arthritis in my hands and fingers. So, I decided to go on a 7 day fast. I've done short fasts before like 24 hrs and 36 hrs, but no long fasts. So now I'm in my 5th day of fasting with 2 more to go. The most amazing thing EVER EVER EVER HAPPENED on the 4th day of the fast. My hands and fingers started to get better. Now on the 5th day, its TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE. The arthritis and stiffness in my hands and fingers are GONE !!!! I know. I don't believe it either. But I keep moving my fingers to see if I'm just dreaming. Now my fingers work perfectly. I'm going to practice some more piano.
1. Emulsifiers such as polysorbate 80 2. Low-fat soy protein (in processed foods) 3. Refined (processed & cheap) seed oils 4. Alcohol -- especially high-purine beer, heavy wines & hard liquor 5. Conventional (A-1) milk & sodium caseinate 6. Wheat -- modern hybridized varieties 7. High-fructose corn syrup
Suffered with joint pain and crippling gout for years,my doctor said low fat low salt diet and no red meat,I got fatter and sicker and put on more meds,I read a book called grain brain 🧠,started my low carb keto journey, today carnivore 💪at 51 years old I feel like I am in my 20s again,gout has been gone for years,joint pain gone, IBS gone,blood pressure is normal now no more meds and fired my doctor,thanks for all you do doctor Berg 🙏
Giving up sugar was the best decision I ever made 2018 within weeks my health was better my brain fog , my skin color and pain was better
A person‘s body is amazing. All the functions taking place within your body all the time. What a mighty God we have that created us.
Dr Berg belongs to an extremely rare and very small group of doctors who are not only super intelligent, but down to earth and most importantly of all, HONEST. He really cares about health and wants us to understand and learn. I am so grateful for all of his content. Dr Berg is literally changing my life one video at a time. He is a true blessing and I am so very grateful. Thank you Dr Berg. 🙏❤
I developed arthritis in my fifties. Suddenly, on holiday in Thailand, my fingers looked like frankfurter sausages and were so stiff. My rings weren’t fitting. I went to a Persian doctor in Shanghai who suggested a diet change. I had a Candida a Albicans gut infection as well . This was from too many carbs and antibiotics from a recent surgery. I went Keto for four months. All I had was low carb veggies, meat, butter, meat, eggs , tea and coffee. No dairy. No alcohol. After a few weeks, the pain disappeared in my joints, and after 8 months, my fingers were back to normal and my rings were fitting fitting again. I have been eating this way since 2014, with the occasional piece of bread, pizza or cake. By that I mean about 4 or 5 times a year. And then, I pay the price with a gut upset. I will keep eating this way, because to me, a life free from aches and pains and other potential problems is worth more than anything else.
Our 85-year-old neighbor struggled with arthritis pain in her fingers. She realized the canned soups and salty processed foods she loved were loaded with sodium and preservatives that made her joints ache worse. Her son replaced them with homemade vegetable soup, sweet potatoes, and a handful of almonds for snacks. In time she noticed she could knit again without constant breaks. She says food became her “medicine,” and it restored a piece of her independence.
