My physiology teacher taught us to "thump your thymus" every day. It means to tap on it rhythmically with your closed hand, gently. It sends waves to it to stimulate it to help immunity. 🙂
Dr. Berg, perfect explanation about gland thymus mecanism. You better professional of moment. I,m learning very everyday. Thank you for us helpness! 🙏🙌🏻
The only person I know who has been affected greatly by Covid-19 was a middle age man who had cancer on his thymus gland just over a year ago. Fortunately, after a month of fighting for his life, he is now in recovery. Thank you for all you do for the world Dr. Berg!!!
My sister in law died from Thymus cancer in her mid thirties. Raised a vegetarian...never drank alcohol or smoked. Super sad for such a healthy person to die from such a rare cancer.
That's so sad. Because of what bone broth has done for my health, I'm not inclined to believe we are made to eat only vegetable. I'm so sorry for the loss of your family member.
Whew, this video made it just in time! I turn 65 in two weeks. While looking for leaf lard I've seen that thymus product. I'll check it out. Thank you.
I have myasthenia gravis which is an autoimmune disease. I had a thymectomy done in 2014 to remove a tumor that grew on my thymus. Everything Dr Berg said about stress & higher risk for cancer is true because 6 years later, I developed cancer after removing my thymus.
I have been taking a thymus extract for a year, and also feed it to my pets. This way I am certain that I have the appropriate nutrients to keep my thymus healthy. I believe that anything that "shrinks with age" isn't getting enough nutrients to stay healthy. It isn't about age, it is ALL about diet. Stay healthy folks.
Always interesting, informative and helpful. And said in a way not to piss off organizations that peddle bad advise and profitable substance that keeps people unwell.
It’s actually fun learning all this stuff and putting it to good use. Way better than destructive eating and drinking then saying “Well ya gotta die from something”. Thanks Doc! Geaux Tigers!
Dr Eric Berg, you have been such a blessing to me. I've learned so much from your videos. You break it down into bite size, easily digested pieces. Your presentations with the boards and the notes below are more than awesome to me. I've gotten answers from you that have helped me be involved better with my health. God bless you. 💖
Thank you Dr. Berg. Awesome as always! 👏 Can you do a video about different types of zinc (in supplements)? What do you think about the liquid version? Thank you 🙏❤
Hi Dr. Berg, can people start taking those Thymus capsules before 65? Can they start taking them starting in 30's, 40's, 50's? An answer would be appreciated. Thank you!
Yes! You can take them at any time! If you order from Ancestral Suppliments you will get instructions on how to start. Brian (owner) will reach out to you.
Just to let you all know. Take high dose, very high dose of C will help maintain the thymus. C, Zinc, A, Selenium and Thyme tea will enhance your thymus. You can know this by old people who are over 120 years old that their thymus still healthy.
I really never understood the true function of the thymus gland. Thanks for this informative video, Dr. Berg. Once we correct our diet, can that help maintain the thymus gland's ability to function into our 70s and beyond?
Thank you Dr Berg. as a follow up to this I am hoping you can explore and share the data out there about taking certain nutrients for actually regrowing the Thymus gland such as colostrum or zinc. thanks
I like my T-cells. Alot. To whoever squealed on me for not wearing a mask.... No one likes a tattletale. There’s something ingrained in my being against you “tattletales," “rats,” “snitches,” or “narcs." -
Snitches are terrible little narcissistic people. I respect their “choice” to mask up, but they should be able to maturely coexist with or politely avoid a person who doesn’t. Running to tell the teacher on each other is exactly as childish as it sounds.
Dr, my daughter has been diagnosed with MG, an auto immune disease and a thymectomy is recommended for her due to her thymoma. Please share your views. Will this help reduce the antibodies and what happens in the long run if there is no thymus to fight infections / will her immunity not be compromised?
I did not even realize we had a thymus until my best friend got thymoma cancer a few years ago. Unfortunately this rare cancer took her life last April. 😞
First of all, thank you Doc for EVERYTHING your incredible and I’m sure many of us love you and listen to you daily. I have a question, I just watched Mike Thurston on youtube going back to gyms in Dubai, and basically they have them wearing the masks during the hardcore gym sessions that everyone is having, how can that benefit or harm us ? Thank you in advance 🙌
Dr berg why when we stop feeding carb to the body then the body starts to show deficiency problems in minerals and vitamins? Also many other issues follow most common of them are hair loss, what are the reason for this? You speak quite often of quality especially the quality of protein, is it the same for carbs? Let's say carbs in dates are not the same as carbs in a biscuit same as grass fed beef and GMO fed. Can you reason with facts for this problem?
Everything up to recommending thymus extract was reasonable. I question endorsing a product. YMMV, anyone who sells supplements on their website is suspect IMHO.
I'm growing Rosemary, not Thymus vulgaris. 😏 Thank you for sharing this important information with us all. Take care, stay safe, & Happy Bank holiday Weekend everyone. 😷❤🙂🐶
can you do a video on a good diet plan? Every time I watch one of your videos I feel like I need to buy a supplement but would rather be able to get it through my diet.
If it shrinks why do Myasthenia graves patients have it removed even when there isn't a tumour? Some that have a thymectomy go into complete remission and others it doesn't achieve anything. Would like to understand the benefits
"If you don't use it, You loose it". When you're a child you are constantly exposing yourself to germs, dirt, organisms, etc.. When you grow up, as some of us do, we sterilize our lives and I believe that this "non-use" of the thymus gland is the key reason that it shrinks and why there is illness. My Opinion and something to think about.
I tried that brand, Ancestral Thymus, and it made me sick to my stomach. I might try another brand. Dr. Berg, what about 'thymus thumping'? Is there any benefit in that? It actually feels kinda good when I do it, so I feel like it won't cause harm, but just wondering it there might be benefit.
I'm 47 Dr Berg and my land must have been hurting me because it was in the middle of my sternum. I thought it was my thyroid. My dad has a hernia in his oesophagus
@Taiwo Omotosho Pumpkin seeds have a lot of phytic acid which inhibits zinc absorption. They are an inferior source of zinc compared to the original foods that I listed.
No, you can pull them apart, pour some out and then put them back together. I do this all the time with supplements. I actually have this brand that he displayed and it’s a great brand.
Wouldnt it be great if our gov wasnt subserviant to junk food and drug big business ($) and actually promoted good health? It is a concept that has been emerging and seems to be attracting attention of more and more of us. Dr. Berg is giving us invaluable info on how to improve our health and buck the system that is perpetuating sickness. US basically has an "illness care" system; not a healthcare system. Its not easy to go against the status quo, but we are talking about our health. It is vital.
Your risk goes down the younger you are unless you are medically mismanaged, which is where you see younger people (as well as older) dying "from Covid19".
My physiology teacher taught us to "thump your thymus" every day. It means to tap on it rhythmically with your closed hand, gently. It sends waves to it to stimulate it to help immunity. 🙂
What I like about Dr Eric Berg is that he gives practical solutions to all kinds of problems.
I agree. And for free!
Never heard any of this from mainstream doctors or medicine (of course!) Thanks Dr. B :)

my condolences.
My best friend just passed away last April from thymoma cancer as well....she was 57. I had never even heard of a thymus before. Sorry for your loss.
That's so sad. Because of what bone broth has done for my health, I'm not inclined to believe we are made to eat only vegetable. I'm so sorry for the loss of your family member.
Just Jess - so I never met her. I met my husband two years after her death. His entire family was raised strict SEVENTH Day Adventists.
👍Thanks for addressing this Dr. Berg. Some surgeons out there don't know the difference between a thymus gland & the thyroid - wouldn't you know 🤬😶
Back to basic. Do they really a surgeon? Frank. H Natter for sure would cry so badly if he knew those kinda surgeons are really exist in this world.
Whew, this video made it just in time! I turn 65 in two weeks. While looking for leaf lard I've seen that thymus product. I'll check it out. Thank you.
dont forget 7 cup of greens per day
Very informative, Eric is making a big difference helping us being proactive with our health. Thankyou

Hey, we're in the same boat. Only thing I haven't came across yet is cancer. Btw, what type of cancer do you have?
I have been taking a thymus extract for a year, and also feed it to my pets. This way I am certain that I have the appropriate nutrients to keep my thymus healthy. I believe that anything that "shrinks with age" isn't getting enough nutrients to stay healthy. It isn't about age, it is ALL about diet. Stay healthy folks.
Is it thymosin alpha 1?
@@yootd3m No, I take raw thymus tablets. It is the gland ground up and made into a pill. Thymosin alpha 1 is good too. Cheers.
@@thisorthat7626 thanks for thrle quick reply. For what reason did you use this? And did you notice it producing a positive or desired effect?
I guess the key is not to get old ...

Great information Doctor Berg thank you and may God bless you
Really useful info, as always. I wonder if with the right supports, the thymus can regrow when atrophied?
Look up Dr Daniel Gray and Dr Julie Sheridan that explains what they’re doing in terms of research to this topic. Great question.
@@alvaroakatico9188 Thanks for sharing this.

@@kellyanderson3229 Ancestral Supplements is a great company!
We don't hear that much these days about growing new organs, but why can't we all get a new thymus when we are 60 years old?
Because they dont want us to be healthy!
Very interesting!! I didn't realize this is why its hard to lose weight as u get older

He did say that after 75 it’s replaced by fatty tissue.
@@alvaroakatico9188 It's kind of scary to me, Alvaro.... no wonder so many older people are having complications from the coronavirus...
no more excuses for anyone to shun greens
Dr Berg, any advice to those of us without a thymus gland because of Thymoma/Thymectomy?
Thank you Dr Berg. as a follow up to this I am hoping you can explore and share the data out there about taking certain nutrients for actually regrowing the Thymus gland such as colostrum or zinc. thanks
My thymus refuses to shrink. In fact, it shall grow!
Thank you for your teaching

What about taking colostrum?
Dr, my daughter has been diagnosed with MG, an auto immune disease and a thymectomy is recommended for her due to her thymoma. Please share your views. Will this help reduce the antibodies and what happens in the long run if there is no thymus to fight infections / will her immunity not be compromised?
Very well explained thank you Dr Berg very interesting indeed
Thank you for watching!
Love the humor. "Beef up the vegetables, no pun intended.. " . I have learned so many things by just seeing Dr Eric Berg's daily videos.
Can you take thymus extract if you already have an autoimmune disease?
Thank you Dr Berg 👍
Raw oysters every week. Best food for bioavailability of zinc! Protect yourself naturally
Do they have to be raw?
You can take them freeze dried in capsules
Thanks for bringing our attention to the thymus.
I did not even realize we had a thymus until my best friend got thymoma cancer a few years ago. Unfortunately this rare cancer took her life last April. 😞
condolences
Respect Doc. Looking forward to getting older with healthier options.👍🏾😅🤙🏾💚
We dont die, we just go home.
Structured Water is also a great antioxidant.

what kind of carbs, ?maybe they were added vits and minerals ?
Doctor, what do you think about peptides like TB500 as a preventive measure?
Will tapping or beating on your thymus gland help stimulate it?
like a gorilla?
@@fidelcatsro6948 yes, im serious!
@@nsls8223 Yes, it will.
Great explanation.
Everything up to recommending thymus extract was reasonable.
I question endorsing a product.

Don't be suspect...thymus involution is way overrated.. but most medical docs don't know
I'm growing Rosemary, not Thymus vulgaris. 😏 Thank you for sharing this important information with us all. Take care, stay safe, & Happy Bank holiday Weekend everyone. 😷❤🙂🐶
same to you sis!
Is thyme good for thymus health...I wonder.
I eat sweetbreads so I guess I'm covered.
can you do a video on a good diet plan? Every time I watch one of your videos I feel like I need to buy a supplement but would rather be able to get it through my diet.
Uh, the diet he recommends is keto. Plenty of videos on that with recipes.
I still don't understand why it shrinks.
I've seen video about accupressure on the thymus gland for this covid thing.
hi doc! does fasting or IF slow down this process?
7-10 cups leafy greens.
From malaysia here...
Thank you Dr Berg for your teaching and information , Have a great day !
🤠 5/23/2020 🤠
Thank you Dr Berg.! 😊
Most welcome!
That's great!
Thanks for watching!
would an old persont be able to have a thymus transplant to increse there emunity ?
If it shrinks why do Myasthenia graves patients have it removed even when there isn't a tumour? Some that have a thymectomy go into complete remission and others it doesn't achieve anything. Would like to understand the benefits
I had the surgery, nothing happened for me. And it's "gravis." I'm about to try Dr. Gundry"s diet because I heard it works for autoimmune diseases.
@@chellec4401 Yes predictive text did graves not Gravis. Will look up Dr Gundry 🙂
@Jeanetta Nipper Thank you for sharing that. Wishing you the best of luck with your health.
@Jeanetta Nipper I wish you well with your health. Dr Gundry's diet is a step up from keto. Please check it out.

What kind of research is out there where fasting effects the Thymus?
What about when you've had the thymus gland removed due to a cancerous tumor? What to do to protect your immune system?
I think i'll continue to take Vit. D, Zinc and Iodine.
Good facts
Nice video
Thanks for watching!
I tried that brand, Ancestral Thymus, and it made me sick to my stomach. I might try another brand.
Dr. Berg, what about 'thymus thumping'? Is there any benefit in that? It actually feels kinda good when I do it, so I feel like it won't cause harm, but just wondering it there might be benefit.
I heard him say, start from small amount , half capsule , then gradually increase
Make a content about mucocele.
I'm 47 Dr Berg and my land must have been hurting me because it was in the middle of my sternum. I thought it was my thyroid. My dad has a hernia in his oesophagus
Do you feel pressure in the back behind it?
Some people mentioned a danger in taking too much zinc. Can you address this?
Hello there! Please feel free to watch this video for reference.
How Much Zinc is Too Toxic?
---> th-cam.com/video/tbbbY-KVrRE/w-d-xo.html
Why does it get enlarged for adults sometimes
Because of proportion ,babies have s huge liver to body ratio hence reason their stomachs are so sticky out.well God gave Sara a baby in her nineties.
Why supplement with zinc when you can eat more beef, lamb or oysters? To catch up on a deficiency?
Lamb! An underrated meat i much of the U.S. these days. Not a fan of oysters, but they are full of zinc. :)
@@thisorthat7626 Yes, lamb is delicious! I love oysters too, especially smoked oysters. But, I guess they're not for everyone.
@Taiwo Omotosho Pumpkin seeds have a lot of phytic acid which inhibits zinc absorption. They are an inferior source of zinc compared to the original foods that I listed.
Does vaccine still effective if I have no more a thymus gland?
Can you rejuvenate your this gland?
What is a quarterback?
Dr eig great
Can a Thymus gland be replaced?
Can yo reverse Thymic Atrophy ?
That's a normal process, you can't reverse it, but support it by supporting your immune system.
After age 75 it’s replaced by fatty tissue unfortunately, according to Dr Berg.
If you dont lose it , you lose it
Dr Berg is looking much better these days! Has he been drinking more fruit juices?
naaaah must be the 10 cups of greens per day
So can the thymus recover after the age of 65?
How does one take HALF a capsule? Wouldn’t the contents spill out all over the place when u cut it open??😳
No, you can pull them apart, pour some out and then put them back together. I do this all the time with supplements. I actually have this brand that he displayed and it’s a great brand.

Growth Hormone?
Your risk goes down the younger you are unless you are medically mismanaged, which is where you see younger people (as well as older) dying "from Covid19".
I did NOT know this happened wow
Take 1 capsule even though it says take 6?
Why not just eat the thymus of an animal?
Can the T-helper cells ever be replenished after a virus has wiped it out?
Try nutrition. The body is constantly rebuilding itself if it gets the right nutrition. No harm in trying.
Go Pack Go!
