I had a Whipple 9 years ago. That was followed by 18 weeks of chemo, 5 Fu , oxyplatin and leucovorin calcium one week on one week off for 18 weeks. Radiation with chemo for 38 days after that. Mine was considered an early catch. They only found 1 tumor out of 40 lymph nodes. It was done at Mass General Hospital. I can't say enough about them. I would not go anywhere else. I thought I had an ulcer but my GP saw something in a blood test and kept testing. MG did an ERCP and found a tumor. Good doctors are a God send, bad doctors will put you in an early grave.
@@johnkuncho7239 My brother went to Mass General also (lived in Miami but traveled for the best care). Sadly, he couldn’t get the Whipple because he already had metastasized to his liver. He lived only 4 mo tha from diagnosis. My mother did have the Whipple and lived about 18 months.
As a nurse of 25 years, working 23 of those years in ICU, I noticed an alarming trend that all the patients I had with pancreatic cancer, all seemed to have very high triglycerides. I didn’t know what that meant, but I certainly do now! Thanks to doctors like you!
That’s very interesting. When I think of high triglycerides, I think of high sugars. My sister-in-law died of pancreatic cancer in 2021. I’m always working on keeping my triglycerides down. I had my lipid test done recently that said my level was 70 so I’m happy it’s lower than last year which was 94. Thank you for sharing!!
triglycerides are mainly influenced by sugars, especially fructose. The more you eat, the higher it gets. Your patients probably all ate a lot of sugar.
In 1988 my maternal grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It was a death sentence. But she was prayed for and over, and was miraculously healed. They had doctors from all over that came to check her out. They kept her longer just to be studied. The doctors couldn't explain it. She died in 2016 from old age.
I have a son who was diagnosed with this. He will soon be celebrating his 6th year anniversary of CANCER FREE after a hard battle through a whipple operation. Thank GOD it was an early accidental discovery, a skilled surgeon and his healthy life style that saved his life. He now is back at work again.
I am a 8 year survivor of pancreatic cancer. I have been on the carnivore diet for over 12 months. I am no longer diabetic, my high blood pressure has gone. I am no longer using a c pap machine and as a bonus I have lost 24 kilo. I am 70 years old and have not felt more healthier in decades.
My husband complained to his doctor for 6 months and she did not order one test 😢 he was losing a pound a day. All she gave him was medication for constipation. The 1st time he went to the ER they gave him an enema bottle and told him to go to the bathroom. A week later he went back and they finally did a CT scan and his pancreatic cancer had spread to his liver, lungs and abdomen. He was sent home and had a blood clot the next day in his lungs. They put him on life support and 3 days later he wanted the life support stopped. He died peacefully the next day with morphine in his system. He only lasted 21 days after diagnosis. I am heartbroken 💔
My mother died of pancreatic cancer. A few years before her diagnosis she switched to a “Forks Over Knives” vegan diet, in order to not die of the “family heart attack.” I took care of her through chemo, a couple of surgeries, and hospice. It was brutal, and heartbreaking. She was diagnosed at stage 4, metastasis to her liver. The chemo killed the pancreas tumors, but left 4 liver tumors. She died 9 months after diagnosis. ETA: I haven’t watched the whole video yet. I switched to a 95% carnivore diet 6 months ago, and have slowly and steadily lost fat, including visceral fat, about 26 lbs. so far. I feel a lot better! 🥳
I too lost my mother to pancreatic cancer (PC). Hyperinsulinemia is one factor. In my mother’s case she was a lifelong smoker. So were actors Patrick Swayze, John Hurt, Alan Rickman, Alan Landon, Joan Crawford, and others. All died of PC. Other people got fatal PC from obesity and hyperinsulinemia, such as such as Aretha Franklin and Luciano Pavarotti. By the time pancreatic cancer is detected, it has already spread to the liver, and is inoperable. Big Food claims that “no one knows what causes PC,” which is like claiming that one knows what causes obesity, diabetes, and insulin resistance.
@@konradx498 I’m sorry you lost your mother like that. 🙏 My mother’s oncologist didn’t tell us what may have caused the cancer, and of course had nothing to say about her diet. I asked him if it was hereditary, and he said no, it isn’t. That was in 2014.
Dear friend of mine was a surgeon. He was in pain for 6 months to a year. Diabetic, and enjoyed the finer things. Diagnosed, lasted about 3 weeks, spent one full day on. hospice. Gone. I miss him. I was keto, ketovore, then carnivore, and my triglycerides are in the 30’s. I wish everyone would watch this video and take it to heart, make life changes, and LIVE!!!!
123, isn't it strange how doctors are in such bad health. I'm sorry the loss of your friend who was a doctor. I wish you could have known about Dr Barry's research. Take ❤
@@LadyBug1967 When I had just started Keto, about 6 months in, I found a GP with that didn’t really understand keto, but he accepted keto. His office nurse was keto. He was 100% encouraging any way of eating that brought his patients into a healthier lifestyle, even if he didn’t understand the nuances. We enjoyed my lab work…he’d ask if I wanted a statin as he’d lean in and show me my total cholesterol. I’d point to my triglycerides in the 30’s and say “no thanks, I think I’m good.” 😊😂 Ken Berry also says if your doc is obese, don’t listen to their nutrition advice.
I had adenocarcinoma on the head of my pancreas and had the Whipple Procedure on 12/31/21. I was staged at 1 after surgery. Clean margins, no lymph nodes involved. I feel very fortunate to have caught it early.
Don’t ignore any strange belly pain especially if it feels like it’s smack dab in the middle, behind your stomach or toward the back but not in your back/spine
I was told that X-rays when they were checking something else that I had lesions from pancreatitis? I said I don’t remember ever being in pain. Bur 8 do remember all of a sudden running to bathroom and both ends went I felt so weak it was awful .This went on for a few years and yes I was ear Ting very bad,y back then🤷♀️
Both my mother and my brother died from pancreatic cancer. He was 40 with two kids. She was 70, fit and active. That’s 40% of my immediate family. I believe there were environmental risks in the neighborhood we lived in back in the early 1960’s that resulted in an extraordinary rate of various cancers, including pancreatic. This is a big part of my “why”.
My father-in-law died of this in his 60s. He grew up working on farms with exposure to crop dusting chemicals, and as an adult religiously followed the wretched Food Pyramid guidelines - lots of grain, small amounts of meat. He thought he was being given good advice but it killed him. Hard not to be angry at our awful system.
I’m sorry for your losses. I knew a family - husband died young of cancer, son had cancer before he was out of high school and again in his twenties, the wife/mother died from a fast moving brain tumor before she was 50 years old. I so suspected that they were exposed to something they were never aware of. I wonder if tests could be done? Wishing you wellness.
i have pancreatic cancer. I went throught the whipple surgey and all was removed. They are giving me a better chance that 3-5% chance. the tcell research is giving a 50% as of 7 months ago the reasearch is really helping. good vid
Why do some people just not care? I work with a few guys who have these enormous visceral fat bellies. They complain about their ailments and back problems. But REFUSE to even think changing their eating and drinking habits could solve these problems. I remember when guys did not look like they were 10 months pregnant and I miss those days.
My husband and his 6 brothers all have visceral fat and all 6 of them are here, my husband is 61 and works so hard physically, he is the youngest. His brothers do as well and are all retired. Not sure if it is in their genetic make up, he does eat too much but his labs are ALWAYS normal and his mother and father ( who worked at a dairy and ate ice cream daily) both lived past 90. ??? And my husband does care. I am 100% carnivore and he is watching....I have lost 70 pounds and maintained it for almost two years now. It is the best way to eat and is so satisfying!!!
Yes, my younger brother by three years, died from pancreatic cancer. He was a physician as well. When we found out about his cancer, he died within two months. Thank GOD I went Keto and now carnivore eight years ago, and lost over 60 lbs of fat.
When I was starving myself fat and sick on 1200 low fat, high fiber calories a day I had very low cholesterol, but high triglycerides. Switched to the old 1950s British diet in the prologue of Good Calories, Bad Calories. Got rid of seed oils completely. Make my own salad dressings. My HDL is high. My LDL is average. And according to my doctor my triglycerides are surprisingly low for someone my age. Very Happy.
Lost a dear friend last year. Her only symptom was radiating back pain. It was pancreatic cancer which had already spread to her liver. Her liver failed only 2 months after diagnosis. She never even made it to treatment as it killed her so fast. She had adopted her granddaughter after her daughter passed. The suffering to that child to lose essentially two mothers. Sometimes I just don't get life.
I was lucky enough to be a survivor of panrcreatic cancer, When I had blatter cancer they discovered a little spot on my pancreas. I was operated and they took a piece of the tail of the pancreas. I started keto after I had the operation, (now I am ketovore) so I hope that it doesn’t come back.
I've been Keto/Ketovore for almost five years. My doctor did a fasting insulin level a year ago. It was two. He thinks I fast too much. But every morning, I enjoy a fast sunrise walk between 4 - 5 miles and I feel great.
Two is only a problem if your body does not know how to use your fat for fuel. Being Keto/carnivore that will not be a problem for you. My husband, wanting to double check his meter has tested my blood in the morning . I have been in the twos. I felt just fine. Now when my husband goes that low he needs to eat fast.
@@marianneellman1139 Small time window to eat, such as four hour window, with at least 6 hours no food before bed. I used to go dancing, full fun exercise, but that I don’t do anymore. Drink water before sleeping, Never eat to feel full. I eat my favorite foods, but tiny portions, then wait it out.
I have a very close friend who was diagnosed very early and had that surgical procedure I believe it is called whipple surgery. That was almost 8 years ago and she is not only surviving, but thriving!!
Thank you so much for this information, Dr. Berry. The timing is so true. My sister passed away from pancreatic cancer yesterday at the age of 77. It is just heartbreaking. I have been following you for many years now and the information you share is truly life changing. My home follows the proper human diet, thanks to you. I actually refer to you as my doctor 😊 I am truly greatful for you and all the research you share to help us all be healthy and live a full life. 🙏🏻
Lost my dad to this, he was only 35. In his case, it's believed he had the brca1 mutation. His own mom died of breast cancer some years later. His sister survived breast cancer but thanks to this she did the research and identified the mutation. I never know about this risk factor but I'm grateful you've shared!
I lost my father in law to this cancer, I loved that man very much. The cancer took him so fast. Unfortunately his diet was really bad, he smoked and drank coke everyday. Thankfully over the last few years I’ve found folks like you that have turned me on to the carnivore lifestyle in hopes that I won’t develop pancreatic cancer too. Keep up the good fight Dr. Ken B. By the way, I like your name. 😃
I was adopted and taken home at three days old from the hospital. I found my birth family six years ago. All the women on my maternal side died of pancreatic cancer. According to the death date I have two and one half years to go. My sister and I made a pinkie swear we would not have chemo or any treatment because it just prolonged the suffering of the others. It’s just a hereditary thing. Everyone dies of something and no one lives forever. I have no fear of death. I have faith. The good Lord will take me when He wants me. It’s written in His book. I do take medication for ailments but no chemotherapy. Everyone has a line not to cross and that’s mine. God bless all of you.
I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I am a little over 80 and no plans to have any treatment. If I were several years younger I may have considered treatment. I don’t want any of that horrible poison put in my body at my age. I will go for lab work and pet scans to see how it progresses. It is my body and my choice. I just want to live the best I can until my time comes. Only God will know when that time is. I have no problem with what other people choose to do. It is their choice. Good luck to you.
My Mom died of pancreatitis cancer. It was in 1990, Christmas Eve. She loved sugar and consumed lot lot lots sugar in her lifelong. Every food was added with refined sugar, even cakes. She loved sugar, period. In her menaupose years she used Tylenol daily for headaches and pain discomfort. A bit of anything that she feels uncomfortable, Tylenol is her answer. She became diabetic in her 60s. In 1989 she was diagnosed with pancreatitis cancer and went on surgery during the big earthquake in October 89. No chemo and she survived for 14 months till Christmas 1990. She passed peacefully in her sleep without suffering any pain. She went in to coma simply the cancer ate up all the sugar in her body. She died of cancer but was Free off diabetes at ger last stage. Dr said there's absolutely no sugar in her brain that caused coma. I thanks God to spare ger the suffering of pain as I heard many people say pancreatitis cancer is very painful at the final stage. Dr gave me the morphine pills just in case but she didn't have to use any. She's gone after a day in coma. I see her case as a miracle surviving the cancer 14 months without pain. She was 65.
My hubby’s Mother died from pancreatic cancer that wasn’t diagnosed until 1 month before she died last year. It was devastating! I’ve been keto/ketovore/carnivore for the past 2 years and try to be an advocate for carnivore as often as possible. I feel better now than I did when I was 20. I went from 360 to 150 lbs over the past 10 years! Thank you, Dr. Ken Berry for your dedication to educating us!! ❤
@@jmseippi'm sorry for your loss. This horrible disease brings up more questions than answers. I just want to mention that if his daily diet was to be considered Carnivore, that means his diet was exclusive of anything not animal-based. Hence, no grains, above or below ground vegetables, or fruits. Honey is produced by bees, but unfortunately sugar, even though it has some good qualities. So in essence, if he ALSO ate other non-animal based foods in his diet, he was NOT CARNIVORE. As a side note, One of my uncles (my Mom's brother), died of pancreatic cancer, and I remember my Mom always talked so fondly of him, but one thing she stated first, each time she reminisced about him, was about his love for things like cakes and other sweet baked goods. It's interesting how that particular thing stuck out in her mind about him. Also, one of my aunts (one of her sisters), a couple years later, also died of pancreatic cancer! I don't remember Mom mentioning her eating habits. Her sister was older by a couple years, and her brother was younger by a couple years, but I think they were both in their 80's as was my Mom (Mom did NOT have pancreatic cancer). Mom's entire family grew up mostly on farms in Minnesota. But I know Mom and her older sister (the one who got pancreatic cancer in her 80's), had spent the later part of their childhood and teen years living with their grandparents, as their family home on the farm was too tiny for all of the kids with more on the way. The grandparents had several larger farms, and later (in my Mom's teen years, moved with them into town), but Mom always talked about her grandpa making sure all the family (and hired farmhands), had plenty of meat to eat at each meal. But that included not just red meat, but chicken, pork, eggs, cheese, milk, etc. in order to have the strength, stamina and brain power needed to push through the very long and hard days. And of course she and her sister walked to school every day. Mom especially remembered how everyone seemed so happy no matter how difficult and demanding their chores and farm life were. Minnesota WINTERS were especially HARSH in the 1930's-40's when you lived on a farm!! The family always made time to get together and play their musical instruments (some family members played more than one quite well), and they sang too! Also they loved playing card games and listening to the radio shows. She said she never knew they were "poor", because their families and farming communities were full of love (and probably they were too tired at the end of the day to cause anyone any "trouble"). No one was ever overweight, as all were quite tall and slim (but she said her Mom was petite in size, as were a couple sisters). My Mom was quite tall and always slim (looked like a runway model, only much prettier LOL, and she was 5'11" tall. She did say that a few certain family members loved to eat sweet baked goods, cakes, pies, and pastries, and they were the ones that developed T2 when older and no longer doing farm work, (one grandfather of hers had some 😮toes and I think foot amputated), and she lost 2 of her 8 siblings to pancreatic cancer, but they were in their early 80's in age.
I believe 100% God healed your grandmother. I was prayed over when I delivered my triplets. I was very sick and had a 50% chance to live. My pastor came and prayed over me. My husband thought I was being silly. He said later if he hadn't witnessed it, he would have never believed it. It was a huge testimony for the nurses as well. I went from historical crying from the pain to falling sound asleep. I never even knew the pastor had left. I had been asleep several hours. The pain never came back. My faith in God is much greater than most because of the miracle he granted me. Believe in him completely ❤
My best friend died of pancreatic cancer....11 months. Lots of sugar in his died but, couldn't talk to him because his P90X regime kept him from "Looking" unhealthy. All the while he was processing sugar constantly. I am a fan of Linus Pauling, Matthias Rath, Peter Glidden and Joel Wallach. They have changed my life. Ken, Thank you so much for this video.
I lost my brother to pancreatic cancer, we weren't related by blood but I could never call him my step brother. He was 37 years old. Him and his wife just had there second baby girl when he was diagnosed. He lived life to the fullest even in the face of death. One of my regrets in life is that I wish I'd spent more time with him before he past, he was much older than me but i feel like at my age now we could've been good friends. I can't speak for his diet but i do remember when he was younger he was always drinking Mountain Dew and smoking cigarettes. But it's a disease i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Even though he lost his life a year after diagnosis my brother was STRONGER than the cancer. He smiled, laughed, and enjoyed his two girls every second, minute, hour, and day that he had on this earth with his family.
Mountain Dew and Coke bad bad things. I remember when we used to happily drink Jolt Cola. Brainless. I wish I had known about sugar and carbs back then. Last year my great grandson won an eating contest in school 42 donuts. This is child abuse and he knew better at 10 years old, but forgot. The school no longer has any eating contest.
My mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in May 2023. At the time she was an active woman running her own business, active in her church and community after losing my dad to hospital protocol treatment of covid in 2020. My sister and I are now taking care of her. She weighs 95 lb with her clothes on. I don’t know if she will survive until Christmas. She always loved sweets and although not hugely overweight was a type 2 diabetic. Her PCP kept telling her that her 135-140 blood sugar wasn’t “that bad”. NEVER encouraged her to change her diet Sadly… she wouldn’t listen to my sister and I when we tried to get her on keto at time of diabetes diagnosis. We are slowly watching her waste away. My son was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer 2 years ago at age 38. He changed everything and is now doing well. Sadly… with all the stress… I have gained 40 lb from stress eating carbs. I thank you for this video. It’s time I at least take care of my own diet and health.
wishing you the strength to change yourself you cannot change others rally where your strength will not be diminished and will create more strength for your own battles ahead others cannot fight them for you please let us know that you are having success making change best to you and yours
My mom died of pancreatic cancer in 2014 at the age of 71. She had been losing weight slowly for a couple of years and then she developed pain in her back. She was stage 4 when diagnosed. The cancer had spread to her liver. Watching her die was the most horrific thing, absolutely traumatizing. She lived 8 months after diagnosis. I will be digging out my lab results from June to see what I can find! Thank you for the info.
My mother did the same thing. Diagnosed with Stage 4 on Dec 29, when it was found, tumor was size of a lemon. In a few short months it covered liver, small& large intestines & stomach. She made it 5 months. I feel your pain, prayers to you. 💔 her only symptoms were weight loss & back pain. 😢
Thank you Dr. Berry for raising this issue. My father died from pancreatic cancer. I watched him go from 185lbs down to 160lbs in less than three months. It was a painful time in my life. I will heed your advice.
Same here. Lost my father less than 3 months after diagnosis. It’s a painful and horrible thing to see someone go through…my condolences to you. This has me motivated to limit carbs, eat healthy, fast at least 14 hours and excercise.
My best friend was having having stomach pains. She called me to tell me that she had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I thought, “ Oh good, now they can fix her stomach trouble.” Stupid me. I didn’t know what it was. I mentioned it to a friend who was a nurse. She told me it was fatal and moved fast. I flew out right away to see her. I won’t go into details, but the symptoms were horrible. She died a month later. Her father had died from diabetes.
Thank you, Dr. Berry! Losing my best friend to pancreatic Cancer at 60 years of age, I know the pain this terrible disease can cause. I learn so much from you.
Thank you for this! My uncle died of pancreatic cancer within 3 months of diagnosis. He was an alcoholic and did not have the best diet. I am carnivore 6 months with occasional days of ketovore. Appreciate it.
That’s an insane range! I had an uncle by marriage die of this cancer. He loved baked goods. He ate real food to get to dessert. When I got pushback for asking for those labs I strongly and politely pushed. I got them. Thanks to your advice Dr Berry.
My wife’s uncle died of pancreatic cancer over a year ago. This was before I had any knowledge of a proper human diet. I prayed and asked the Lord why he died because I couldn’t understand how someone could go so fast. And step by step he showed me the evolution and perversion of the human diet. This is the reason my wife and I have been carnivore for over a year now. Thanks for this video doc!
My grandfather died of pancreatic cancer and now I have type 2 diabetes from dad side of the family and will certainly get the c peptide test. Doing a ketovore diet for a while now and made huge difference in A1C. Thanks Dr, I listen to you frequently!
Next week I have an MRI booked to check out my pancreas….it’s frightening. Something was seen on a CT scan for diverticulitis a few weeks ago. I had severe acute pancreatitis 17 years ago and it caused immense damage. It was idiopathic, I didn’t drink. I have a low fasting insulin…so that’s one thing in my favour. Here’s hoping they find scar tissue and nothing else.
I had a couple of MRIs for prostate cancer and a shadow appeared on the first. Before having the prostate removed I had the second MRI specifically to check my pancreas. It was clear however something I'm aware of. So be of good cheer brave warrior. What will be will be and may your MRI be clear.
I’m 60, not obese, and currently in the process of having an MRI of my pancreas and ultrasound of my liver. I also don’t smoke or drink but have had about five acute pancreatitis attacks since 2005. Last attack in Oct 2023. My diet isn’t great but I try to eat responsibly. However, it seems carbs is most likely the culprit since I have noted what foods I was indulging in prior to each attack. High fats, sweets, and carb overload. All tests have come back with favorable results during and post hospitalization. Except my enzyme counts during my attack at over 7k. I too hope they find only scar tissue. 🙏🏽
Message to TH-cam: THANK YOU for making channels like this one available to all people! Message to Dr. Berry: I would expect to have you presented with a Nobel prize, or similar, for all your efforts to help humanity! THANK YOU!!!
Dr. Berry is deserving of an award WAY better than the Nobel prize! The Nobel prize was invented to assuage Nobel’s guilt for inventing/profiting from dynamite, a weapon of mass destruction. Dr. Berry is a true humanitarian! Saving the human race via education, for FREE. 👍😇
FIVE years? My sweet little Earth Angel sis, Ginelle, was gone within 3 months. She barely made it to 38. That was the exact time her doc gave her. It completely shattered our family. Wish to GOD I had known about the powerful effects of eating carnivore back then (2018). She looked fit and was taking good care of herself. It was a shock to all of us.
Five years is the amount of time the medical establishment uses to measure cancer treatment success or prognosis, etc. He didn't just pull that random timeframe out of his head. He pointed out that a patient is often gone in 4 to 6 months. So sorry for your loss.
@@tessleroy5313I'm 2 meters tall and have been called morbidly obese. I've lost 57 kg but still need to lose 65 kg more. I hope it is not too late. I eat ketovore.
My mother passed away 8 years ago from pancreatic cancer. She started noticing dark urine in May. June received her diagnosis, had to have her bile duct drain with a bag. July had major Whipple surgery to reconstruct and remove tumors. February passed away. 😞 thanks for sharing Dr. ❤
Same pretty much with my mom but 9 years ago and no whipple surgery since it as too late already anyway. I'm homeless in my car now. I've had such a terrible life.
A friends son developed pancreatic cancer at 40 years of age. Guy of on 2 meters in length weighed 40 kg when she phoned me. FIVE weeks later he had gained 2,5 kg after we started treating him ourselves. HIGH Vit E, C and highish doses of other regular Vits. He immediately had to go Keto with diet. Ketones provide better energy to mitochondria to combat inflamation. Far as i remember he also started Tim Noakses Bullet Proof Coffee routine. Omega 3. I think his mothers brilliant idea for controlling the extreem pain without poisoning the body further, was key to his survival ! She put him on his back and filled his navel marujana oil!! Ten minutes and the pain had resided!!. This happened 2/3 years ago and guy is still fine. We are not dr's, just Natuaral Health enthosiasts. Learnt hard lessons. The regular dr's suffer from restricted thinking they have been coditioned into, very dangeros lot.
My pancreas gets inflamed causing abdominal pain I hear fatty food is making my pancreas overwork because lack of digestive enzymes they suggest fish, skinless chicken, and turkey over beef and pork you keep saying keto diet is good but isn't that a high fat diet?
@@JoeCruz-xx2cw Take note of the color of your excrement Joe. It should be Yellow! If dark, you are in trouble. If you are not on a extreme Keto diet, it should also float. Focus on improving Vit E and C levels, go high on them. Also balans yr amino acds. L-Arginine and L-Citroline. Try best to increase bodies Nitric Oxcide levels. It seems fermented Beet is helpfull.
My brother inlaw got pancreatic cancer that spread to his liver 2 years ago and was given a year to live. With the help of fenbendazole and a carnivor diet, he's still here. He's beating all the odds.
My dad passed from Pancreatic cancer and it was horrible to see him struggle the last month he was with us. I've followed you for a couple of years and I will take this to heart. I am 67 and hope that it's not too late for me. I have been eating lower carb about 50-60 a day but will try and lower this even more. I do get cramps though when I go below 50 a day.
My father died of pancreatic cancer back at the end of 1990. He was 46 years old. He was in relatively good shape for his age at the time. A bit overweight for his height ('5"11 around 200) but no where close to obese. His diet was probably typical of a lot of people his age at the time but he was never a junk food/sweets type, and would try lots of things that would fall into the category of "healthy" during the 70s and 80s. While I don't disagree with the study that says hyperinsulinemia raises your risk I feel there are also environmental factors that possibly play a role was well. He had two close friends/co-workers that died of the same thing some years after. Anyway -- thanks for the useful info.
This was a very informative video for me to watch. My Mom who was well her whole life and lived a healthy lifestyle died at age 75 of pancreatic cancer. My mom' two sisters also died of pancreatic cancer in their early 80's of pancreatic cancer I am now in my late 60's so naturally I am worried for myself, my sister and brother.
Worked with a friend that was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in January 2000. It does move fast. His doctor said he had a bad gene that predisposed his entire family to Pancreatic Cancer. His father and all his uncles passed from it. Back in January 2000 he looked like he was at deaths door but a woman that I also worked for talked him into going on a clinical trial at John Hopkins where they freeze the tumors with liquid nitrogen. He was resistant but he did go. When he returned after two weeks of recovery he returned to work with a spring in his step and great color. You would never know that he ever had cancer. He remained cancer free for ten years, then the cancer returned with a vengeance. The cancer spread to his lungs, liver, and head. When I left employment in 2015 he was making his final arrangements. I don`t know how but he is still alive today living with cancer. Perhaps modern cancer therapies are keeping him going. He is five years into his retirement. That clinical trial gave him a new lease on life, for ten years at least.
Dr Thomas Seyfried has found that cancer is a metabolic disease, not genetic….caused by excessive carbohydrates damaging the mitochondria. The cure: starve the cancer cells by depriving them of glucose and glutamine. He’s big into the carnivore community…if you could research this then share it with your friend, that may give them what they need to become cancer free instead of living with cancer.
My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 1991 at the age of 71 he lived for 22yrs. Until age 93. My father had the WHIPPLE PROCEDURE in NYC where a portion of your pancreas removed. My family was blessed that this worked along with the expert surgery of DR. GOLDMAN
Thanks Dr. Berry, I wish we would have had this information years ago. I lost my wife of 35 years 6 years ago to pancreatic cancer. It is a horrible way to pass.
Wow this is scary! thanks so much for doing this vid.. my grandfather and TWO of his brothers died from this and my mothers pancreas is already shot and struggles with her diabetes, so I need to take this seriously now while I can.
My best friend died of pancreatic cancer last Nov. It will be a yr on Nov 28. We had been friends for 37 yrs. I miss her alot. She was diabetic and didn't take as good of care of herself in the last five yrs of her life. She was so brave and lived a yr & 1/2 with it. We had her on numerous prayer lists and we're sure that's why she lasted as long as she did. I helped take care of her. It was hell watching her waste away. 😭😭😭
Both my mom and uncle died on pancreatic cancer in China.They were all skinny. I knew my mom ate balanced. But I see the common things they had, stress and sleep problem. My mom was stress by my dad who put his life savings on those scams. She often listened to radio if she couldn't sleep at night. Night bedtime is the time we repair our immune system. It's crucial time for good health.
Fantastic information, easily understood. I have known 2 friends who died very quickly after being diagnosed with this cruel disease. I have had 2 stressful careers & will be asking my GP to test for my Fasting Insulin figures. Many thanks, from the UK!
my dad got pancreatic cancer and it spread to his liver. Sadly he died within 5 months of diagnosis. My dad ate a lot of sweets (candy to you Americans) and he loved cereals in the morning and pastries in the evening (pies in particular). The amount of protein he ate was minimal. His diet was very carby. I loved him so much and I miss him so much. It was heartbreaking seeing him die like that. He was bleeding a lot at the end from his nose; his blood could no longer clot and he was so thin and weak. It kills people so fast. I have been controlling my carb intake. Some days it is only 50 grams but other days just over 100g. I need to work on keeping it low all the time. Pancreatic cancer is terrifying
I have been on a low carb diet for almost 4 years ( 20 -30 g per day). How I wish I had known about this many years ago. Better late than never I guess.
My 59 year old brother just passed October 15th. Was horrific!!!!! Started having problems and lots of weight loss at the beginning of summer. Was diagnosed on Sept. 8th with stage 4.
My Father got pancreatic cancer in 1990. Then, the survival rate was 2%. We were blessed to keep him for 15 more years. He was in the hospital for over a year and underwent the Whipple procedure. He died and was revived once in that year. Prevention would be better than any cure or treatment. I am battling my own weight by fasting. I watched him slowly decline and finally pass at 56 years old. In a word, it sucked.
I have the Braca2 gene, plus my sister just died of pancreatic cancer. I’m high risk. I go to Seattle once a year for screening. One year just a ct scan , next year an endoscopy. Last month I asked my GP for a fasting insulin- he said that would not tell him anything and doctors don’t do that anymore. I also asked for a CAC at first he didn’t even know what that was. And then when I explained it, he said oh yeah, that he said that’s obsolete. He said no one does that anymore.!! I need to find a new Dr
Please look into healthy eating, such as all forms of organic berries, tumeric, & similar healthy foods. There is an extremely knowledgeable naturopath named Barabara O'neil who talks about diseases are not caught from genes. Based on research only about 10% are gene related. This is why it is more beneficial to focus on living a healthy lifestyle over worrying that a disease is in one's family. Sadly, this is not talked about by U.S doctors. Instead, they want people to be frantic & think that if a disease is in their lood line, they're likely to get it, whicg is not true. And there's a lot of research to support this, but it will not get promoted by most doctors. Look into TH-cam Dr. Berg who is a naturopath. He gives great advice about health & natural remedies. Remember that pharmacy is a billion dollar industry, so it wouldn't be in "their best" interest to have too many healthy people. This is why the U.S is the #1 developed country in the world with the most cancers, heart disease, & every form of illness, along with the most prescribed drugs!!! It is essential that people ALWAYS look into natural remedies as well to maintain one's health, as it has existed for 1,000s of yrs before prescriptions. Stay well & enjoy every moment!! From the U.S.
Start drinking soursop tea daily and 3 apricot seeds , black seed oil extract. Look up all the people who have cured their cancer and use this as preventative. Or do a parasite cleanse each month. Parasites are what’s causing this cancer. Good luck ❤
I am sure I was on my way to prostate cancer, and/or pancreatic cancer, both being caused by Hyperinsulinemia. I had a sugar addiction for many years, as well as bread, potato chips, crackers, rice etc. I have an enlarged prostate (root cause: Hyperinsulinemia), going down now due to vigilant healthy diet. There has been a huge rise in all type cancers since the industrialization of food. Eat non-industrialized food. The End.
I eat low carb, steak, beef, chicken but I also love vegetables, salad, to me the perfect meal is a steak fried in butter and a salad with homemade low carb dressing(I use very little).
Pancreatic Cancer has been a big influence on my why for a few yrs. I had a niece die in 08 at 42 from it. It killed her in 5 months. She was a smoker and I once read that was the #1 cause. She had 2 girls in their early teens. I had another niece die last yr. She lived exactly 1 yr. She had a 10yr old little girl she adopted when she was a newborn. From what I've learned from you, I believe she either had hyperinsulinemia or was an undiagnosed diabetic. She had PCOS, was infertile from it, she was about 40lbs overweight and had the body shape where she had little legs and a belly. (Diabetic belly?) It scares me.
My mother died from pancreatic cancer. 1996. It was not the best “way to go”, I’ll tell you. Trying to do very low carb myself…. Meat and Veg is good for me. I need to do better - especially with this new information and a family history.
I recently saw the story of Joe Tippens who took Panacur (worming medication for dogs) at the advice of a veterinarian. There are early trials showing Fendbendazole decreasing the cancer. This man was given 3 months to live and years later he is still alive. I don't know why stories like this aren't huge news.
I’ll tell you why ,because Big Pharma doesn’t want people to know because it’s cheap medication and cancer is BIG business, and most likely they pay platforms to suppress the information.
Incredible stories like his aren't all over the news because it won't make the drug companies money. It is a billion dollar industry, so it wouldn't be in their best interest to have too many healthy people. This is why the U.S is the #1 developed country in the world with the most cancers, heart disease, & every form of illness, along with the most prescribed drugs!!! It is essential that people ALWAYS look into natural remedies as well to maintain one's health; it has existed for 1,000s of yrs before prescriptions.
I have been so disappointed over how few people know about Joe Tippen’s story and I can’t tell you how many people I’ve seen struggling with end-stage cancer, and I’ve told them about Joe Tippen and yet I have never heard one response from them or even an acknowledgment that they saw my message. Heartbreaking to know there might be a cure for them but they don’t check the comments left for them. Another frustrating thing is more and more people are sharing their story of success and the fact that they are completely cancer free after taking Joe Tippen’s protocol but nobody will tell you where or how they are getting the panacur/fendbendazole. I have no clue how they’re getting it.
I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2020 . They removed 1/3 of my pancreas. I was lucky, it was stage 1. I don’t see why insurance won’t pay for a scan every 3 years or so , like a colonoscopy.
Thank you so much for all your free information. Not everyone has access to this kind of information, even from their primary doctors who they pay a lot of money to see.
Lost my Dad in May to this terrible disease, they caught it super early, it made no difference. I am lost without him. He wouldn’t listen, he used insulin as a band aid. My heart is broken, I believed he’d beat it, I didn’t know it was already too late. I feel cheated.
I have a cyst on my pancreas, which is being monitored. It is a type of cyst that can turn to cancer and is very very small. The diet they suggest is high in carbs, bread, oatmeal, cracker veggies, no red meat. Low fat chicken and fish. I’m sticking to my keto/carnivore diet, I do take Super Enzymes, as I had a problem with my gallbladder. I also take a probiotic and drink ginger tea.
My mother died of pancreatic cancer 05/2023. She was 230 lbs before the weight start to come off. Over 3 years she was slowly losing weight. The last 2 years she wasn't really eating. The last year she would not eat and started having abdominal issues. We finally got her to go to her doctor. She was diagnosed stage 3 and 4 months after her final radiation treatment she died and only weighed 99lbs. This cancer is horrible 😢.
My sister was diagnosed three months ago with this disgusting disease, I visited her in hospital yesterday, she is wasting away in front of us and end of life hospice care is all she has to look forward to and there is nothing any of us can do except tell her we love her as much as we can. She turns 70 in 4 weeks but it’s doubtful she will last that long, we lost a sister to this two years ago and we never thought it would strike twice, she was the first person in our family to have pancreatic cancer. I have been trying to stick with the carnivore diet for the the past few months but it is difficult when you are bombarded by so called medical experts on you tube completely disagreeing with what Dr Berry says, I would love to see a straight forward debate on this. Too late for my sister, but maybe the benefits of a carnivore lifestyle could save others or at least prolong lives, just so confusing. My heart goes out to all those people and family members touched by this terrible disease. Mike. Greetings from New Zealand.
Thank you for the prayers, we appreciate them. My sister has been moved to the hospice and is as comfortable as possible with lots of family around. That’s all we can do for her. Blessings.
A surgeon I know was told in training that the pancreas must be the seat of the human soul because operating on it can be so dangerous… also that a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is as good as a death sentence.
It's important to develop realistic habits. Cut out all soft drinks, pure fruit juices. Make sweets a treat. A treat is not something you eat every day. Eat a balanced diet, leaning towards protein and vegetables and away from carbohydrates, especially processed. These are all realistic over a long term. Total deprivation of sweets and carbs over the long term is for most people not realistic.
Wow this Sunday we had my nephew funeral and yesterday we bury him. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this January. Worst cancer ever(lot of real heavy pain) 39 and left a wife and six year daughter! 💔😭
Hello. I would love to see you do some videos on the benefits of Castor oil and castor oil packs. Do they really do any good and what effect does castor oil have on your health, good or bad? Can you take it internally? What vitamins and minerals are found in it? Are Castor oil packs a good idea to integrate into a new year resolution? Thank you and hope to see a video on this soon !
At 67 my dad died of pancreatic cancer. He took blood pressure meds for 25 years with no adjustments over the years, took the odd whiskey, ate the diet my mum ate. My mum lived to 93 & only started BP meds at 82. My 2 brothers & I follow a vegan and Keto diets with little or no meds and have outlived my dad by more than a dozen years. Over medication is rarely mentioned when in many presentations on pancreatic cancer, liver cancer and kidney failure.
I’ve been following Dr Berry and other for a number of years now with success and am very grateful for this sharing of this lifestyle information. My recent request for a fasting insulin test along with the other things of the blood panel was questioned by my provider, but she ordered it. Came back 1.9. I was very happy, but she wasn’t and wanted to go down the Type 1 diabetics rabbit hole. I said I feel fine, and with a fasting glucose of 84, she let me slide, admonishing me that it will be checked again in 3months. I’ve got to find me a new PCP but that’s proving to be very difficult.
There are places like Any Lab Test now and Ultra Lab Tests where you can get these kinds of tests ordered without relying on the so-called "provider". Fact is most medical personnel are not as enlightened as Ken Berry.
Exactly. I had a lot of fillings in my teeth in my teens. I was horrified and immediately cut sugar from my diet. I am 67 and keep to that to this day. In fact now I can't eat sweet things because they are far too sickly. In an odd twist it turned out that my dentist was fired because he was putting fillings into healthy teeth....but in the end he did me a favour.
My father and grandmother had pancreatic cancer at the same time and dies 3 weeks from each other. It was about a year they had it before passing away. My sister and I are both very afraid of developing this . Thank you for posting this video.
Also add Dihydroberberine! My insulin went down to 4 in 3 months and my cholesterol lipid markers also went down. I’ve been HFLC for some time, but the Berberine made a huge difference. Also stress raises cortisol which raises glucose, it’s not always only what you eat.
I use Super Berberine by SugarMd. The Dihydroberberine form doesn’t upset the stomach. I take 2 a day, spread out. I’m super excited about my test results after adding the Berberine for 3 months. My insulin has never been this low. I have genetic heterozygous hypercholesterolemia ( 1 copy of the gene) so to see it bring down my Apo B was surprising. Looking forward to better long term effects.
@@1MSally1965 No. 22 /4-5. It takes me more than 2 hours to eat my healthy nutrient dense mini meals. I just sometimes fast for 22 hours before finally eating.
I think Charflorida5433 might be suggesting that technically you are then doing 20/4 or 19/5 fast if the feeding window is 4-5 hours, still a great fast, but there are only 24 hours in a day.
I have been carnivore for 5 years and my blood insulin is still high. Glucose is in normal range. Fasting insulin on my latest test was 62.3053 (140 mol/l). When i went on carnivore my autoimmune issues disappeared but my insulin didn't come down. I have added some veg back in but still really low in carbs. Brother died of pan can.
I know several people who were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer they were literally feeling okay one week sick the next and then dead in less than a month.
My husband died within 4 months after being diagnosed. We were told it’s a slow growing cancer that isn’t detected because there weren’t/aren’t any tests and it takes 20 years to grow to stage3-4 that’s why they die so fast.
My brother had pancreatic cancer over 25 years ago, and he is still alive, and it never came back.
The doctors called him a miracle.
@Erin-nf9bf They removed some of the pancreas and performed a Whipple procedure is all I know. He's 75 years old now.
I had a Whipple 9 years ago. That was followed by 18 weeks of chemo, 5 Fu , oxyplatin and leucovorin calcium one week on one week off for 18 weeks. Radiation with chemo for 38 days after that. Mine was considered an early catch. They only found 1 tumor out of 40 lymph nodes. It was done at Mass General Hospital. I can't say enough about them. I would not go anywhere else. I thought I had an ulcer but my GP saw something in a blood test and kept testing. MG did an ERCP and found a tumor. Good doctors are a God send, bad doctors will put you in an early grave.
@johnkuncho7239 You better hang on to your doctor! He's not like the average doctor these days.
@@johnkuncho7239 My brother went to Mass General also (lived in Miami but traveled for the best care). Sadly, he couldn’t get the Whipple because he already had metastasized to his liver. He lived only 4 mo tha from diagnosis. My mother did have the Whipple and lived about 18 months.
What is his blood type?
As a nurse of 25 years, working 23 of those years in ICU, I noticed an alarming trend that all the patients I had with pancreatic cancer, all seemed to have very high triglycerides. I didn’t know what that meant, but I certainly do now! Thanks to doctors like you!
Great observation, thanks.
It would be interesting to get their A1c levels as well.
That’s very interesting. When I think of high triglycerides, I think of high sugars. My sister-in-law died of pancreatic cancer in 2021. I’m always working on keeping my triglycerides down. I had my lipid test done recently that said my level was 70 so I’m happy it’s lower than last year which was 94. Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for sharing this ☺️
triglycerides are mainly influenced by sugars, especially fructose. The more you eat, the higher it gets. Your patients probably all ate a lot of sugar.
In 1988 my maternal grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It was a death sentence. But she was prayed for and over, and was miraculously healed. They had doctors from all over that came to check her out. They kept her longer just to be studied. The doctors couldn't explain it. She died in 2016 from old age.
Same thing happened to Joel Osteens mom. He's the preacher from Houston with a huge mega church. God is our healer!
The power of prayer is real.
That’s awesome
@@patriciacarey1824 yep that's the reason we've more prayer halls than health centres 🤣🤣🤣
@@jolly1039 You should find a conversion tool on the Internet.
I have a son who was diagnosed with this. He will soon be celebrating his 6th year anniversary of CANCER FREE after a hard battle through a whipple operation. Thank GOD it was an early accidental discovery, a skilled surgeon and his healthy life style that saved his life. He now is back at work again.
How discovered
I have a 65 year old friend who had the same surgery and is 8 years removed from her whipple surgery as well!
@@loriirons9503 eight years removed from her Whipple surgery, what does that even mean?
@@TheFriendlyPsychopath I believe it means cutting off parts of pancreas or intestine
My brother had the whipple procedure done in 2000. He’s now in his 60s!
I am a 8 year survivor of pancreatic cancer. I have been on the carnivore diet for over 12 months. I am no longer diabetic, my high blood pressure has gone. I am no longer using a c pap machine and as a bonus I have lost 24 kilo. I am 70 years old and have not felt more healthier in decades.
That is a sensational result! Great you’re here still to tell everyone and doing well…
So happy for you! What stage were you?
Praise the Lord!
Did you have the whipple procedure?
What type of pancreatic cancer did you have?
My husband complained to his doctor for 6 months and she did not order one test 😢 he was losing a pound a day. All she gave him was medication for constipation. The 1st time he went to the ER they gave him an enema bottle and told him to go to the bathroom. A week later he went back and they finally did a CT scan and his pancreatic cancer had spread to his liver, lungs and abdomen. He was sent home and had a blood clot the next day in his lungs. They put him on life support and 3 days later he wanted the life support stopped. He died peacefully the next day with morphine in his system. He only lasted 21 days after diagnosis. I am heartbroken 💔
This is so sad. I’m sorry
I’m very sorry 😢
Thank you. Blessings
I am so sorry. May God give you great comfort in your grieving.
Sorry for your loss, 😢 doctors should listen to their patients complain and not just brush them aside. Why? Could this be an insurance related.
My mother died of pancreatic cancer. A few years before her diagnosis she switched to a “Forks Over Knives” vegan diet, in order to not die of the “family heart attack.” I took care of her through chemo, a couple of surgeries, and hospice. It was brutal, and heartbreaking. She was diagnosed at stage 4, metastasis to her liver. The chemo killed the pancreas tumors, but left 4 liver tumors. She died 9 months after diagnosis. ETA: I haven’t watched the whole video yet. I switched to a 95% carnivore diet 6 months ago, and have slowly and steadily lost fat, including visceral fat, about 26 lbs. so far. I feel a lot better! 🥳
I too lost my mother to pancreatic cancer (PC). Hyperinsulinemia is one factor. In my mother’s case she was a lifelong smoker. So were actors Patrick Swayze, John Hurt, Alan Rickman, Alan Landon, Joan Crawford, and others. All died of PC. Other people got fatal PC from obesity and hyperinsulinemia, such as such as Aretha Franklin and Luciano Pavarotti. By the time pancreatic cancer is detected, it has already spread to the liver, and is inoperable. Big Food claims that “no one knows what causes PC,” which is like claiming that one knows what causes obesity, diabetes, and insulin resistance.
@@konradx498 I’m sorry you lost your mother like that. 🙏 My mother’s oncologist didn’t tell us what may have caused the cancer, and of course had nothing to say about her diet. I asked him if it was hereditary, and he said no, it isn’t. That was in 2014.
@@jmseipp do you know exactly what he ate? What do you mean by “big time carnivore?” I’m sorry you lost your uncle to that awful disease. 🙏
If u go with red meat - must go grass fed/ organic due to glyphosate/hormones/ antibiotics and other chemicals - don’t forget about veggies
@@brianmclean7576 veggies are useless, and full of cancer-causing toxins. Ever heard of oxalates or solanine? Forget about veggies. Eat meat.
Dear friend of mine was a surgeon. He was in pain for 6 months to a year. Diabetic, and enjoyed the finer things. Diagnosed, lasted about 3 weeks, spent one full day on. hospice. Gone. I miss him.
I was keto, ketovore, then carnivore, and my triglycerides are in the 30’s. I wish everyone would watch this video and take it to heart, make life changes, and LIVE!!!!
My triglycerides were 70 this year. Last year they were 94 so I guess I’m getting them down!
@@crh251 Carry on!!!
123, isn't it strange how doctors are in such bad health. I'm sorry the loss of your friend who was a doctor. I wish you could have known about Dr Barry's research. Take ❤
@@LadyBug1967 When I had just started Keto, about 6 months in, I found a GP with that didn’t really understand keto, but he accepted keto. His office nurse was keto. He was 100% encouraging any way of eating that brought his patients into a healthier lifestyle, even if he didn’t understand the nuances. We enjoyed my lab work…he’d ask if I wanted a statin as he’d lean in and show me my total cholesterol. I’d point to my triglycerides in the 30’s and say “no thanks, I think I’m good.” 😊😂 Ken Berry also says if your doc is obese, don’t listen to their nutrition advice.
I had adenocarcinoma on the head of my pancreas and had the Whipple Procedure on 12/31/21. I was staged at 1 after surgery. Clean margins, no lymph nodes involved. I feel very fortunate to have caught it early.
How did u know you had pancreatic cancer? We're u feeling different?
One of my best friends had the exact same situation! She is thriving 9 years later, just had her 9 year anniversary!!!
Wow. What a blessing. Stay well.
Don’t ignore any strange belly pain especially if it feels like it’s smack dab in the middle, behind your stomach or toward the back but not in your back/spine
I was told that X-rays when they were checking something else that I had lesions from pancreatitis? I said I don’t remember ever being in pain. Bur 8 do remember all of a sudden running to bathroom and both ends went I felt so weak it was awful .This went on for a few years and yes I was ear
Ting very bad,y back then🤷♀️
Both my mother and my brother died from pancreatic cancer. He was 40 with two kids. She was 70, fit and active. That’s 40% of my immediate family. I believe there were environmental risks in the neighborhood we lived in back in the early 1960’s that resulted in an extraordinary rate of various cancers, including pancreatic. This is a big part of my “why”.
So sorry
My father-in-law died of this in his 60s. He grew up working on farms with exposure to crop dusting chemicals, and as an adult religiously followed the wretched Food Pyramid guidelines - lots of grain, small amounts of meat. He thought he was being given good advice but it killed him. Hard not to be angry at our awful system.
I’m sorry for your losses. I knew a family - husband died young of cancer, son had cancer before he was out of high school and again in his twenties, the wife/mother died from a fast moving brain tumor before she was 50 years old. I so suspected that they were exposed to something they were never aware of. I wonder if tests could be done? Wishing you wellness.
Did you live in North or South Dakota?
Do you live near a golf course?
i have pancreatic cancer. I went throught the whipple surgey and all was removed. They are giving me a better chance that 3-5% chance. the tcell research is giving a 50% as of 7 months ago the reasearch is really helping. good vid
Hang in there . I had the same thing in 2020 . Get scanned every 6 months. So far so good !
Best of luck to you!
How are you?
Have you looked into ip6 inositol?
Why do some people just not care? I work with a few guys who have these enormous visceral fat bellies. They complain about their ailments and back problems. But REFUSE to even think changing their eating and drinking habits could solve these problems. I remember when guys did not look like they were 10 months pregnant and I miss those days.
I have a good mate who is obese and the same thing applies to him- he has been told to lose weight and not drink but he is not doing it.
"10 months pregnant" 😂
Stealing this.
My husband and his 6 brothers all have visceral fat and all 6 of them are here, my husband is 61 and works so hard physically, he is the youngest. His brothers do as well and are all retired. Not sure if it is in their genetic make up, he does eat too much but his labs are ALWAYS normal and his mother and father ( who worked at a dairy and ate ice cream daily) both lived past 90. ??? And my husband does care. I am 100% carnivore and he is watching....I have lost 70 pounds and maintained it for almost two years now. It is the best way to eat and is so satisfying!!!
I know men like that too, and its pointless to give them advice.
Normal labs. 🧐
Yes, my younger brother by three years, died from pancreatic cancer. He was a physician as well. When we found out about his cancer, he died within two months. Thank GOD I went Keto and now carnivore eight years ago, and lost over 60 lbs of fat.
You're also a liar!

My Dad at 70 and my cousin in her 50's died of pancreatic cancer. Dr. Berry thank you for trying to help us prevent it. You are a gift from God!
When I was starving myself fat and sick on 1200 low fat, high fiber calories a day I had very low cholesterol, but high triglycerides.
Switched to the old 1950s British diet in the prologue of Good Calories, Bad Calories. Got rid of seed oils completely. Make my own salad dressings.
My HDL is high. My LDL is average. And according to my doctor my triglycerides are surprisingly low for someone my age.
Very Happy.
Lost my grandfather to pancreatic cancer, it was horrible, wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Thank you for this.
Lost a dear friend last year. Her only symptom was radiating back pain. It was pancreatic cancer which had already spread to her liver. Her liver failed only 2 months after diagnosis. She never even made it to treatment as it killed her so fast. She had adopted her granddaughter after her daughter passed. The suffering to that child to lose essentially two mothers. Sometimes I just don't get life.
life is reflection of your culture. nothing to do with reality. it is all in the genes.
I was lucky enough to be a survivor of panrcreatic cancer, When I had blatter cancer they discovered a little spot on my pancreas. I was operated and they took a piece of the tail of the pancreas. I started keto after I had the operation, (now I am ketovore) so I hope that it doesn’t come back.
My father is a survivor. Developed cancer in the liver and pancreas in his early 30s. He also had bowl cancer in his 20s. He is now 71.
@69butternut THANK YOU for this encouragement
Amazing!
God bless him!
We need more survivor stories. They really help.

I've been Keto/Ketovore for almost five years. My doctor did a fasting insulin level a year ago. It was two. He thinks I fast too much. But every morning, I enjoy a fast sunrise walk between 4 - 5 miles and I feel great.
Two is only a problem if your body does not know how to use your fat for fuel. Being Keto/carnivore that will not be a problem for you.
My husband, wanting to double check his meter has tested my blood in the morning . I have been in the twos. I felt just fine.
Now when my husband goes that low he needs to eat fast.
I know when it happens because he becomes hangry.
Can you please tell me about your fasting?
Nothing like learning from those that have done it..
Thank you.

His sister survived breast cancer but thanks to this she did the research and identified the mutation. I never know about this risk factor but I'm grateful you've shared!
I lost my father in law to this cancer, I loved that man very much. The cancer took him so fast. Unfortunately his diet was really bad, he smoked and drank coke everyday. Thankfully over the last few years I’ve found folks like you that have turned me on to the carnivore lifestyle in hopes that I won’t develop pancreatic cancer too. Keep up the good fight Dr. Ken B. By the way, I like your name. 😃

Did he drink regular Coke or Diet Coke?
@@griffin2599 he drank regular Coke.
I was adopted and taken home at three days old from the hospital. I found my birth family six years ago. All the women on my maternal side died of pancreatic cancer. According to the death date I have two and one half years to go. My sister and I made a pinkie swear we would not have chemo or any treatment because it just prolonged the suffering of the others. It’s just a hereditary thing. Everyone dies of something and no one lives forever. I have no fear of death. I have faith. The good Lord will take me when He wants me. It’s written in His book. I do take medication for ailments but no chemotherapy. Everyone has a line not to cross and that’s mine. God bless all of you.
Maybe God wants you to seek treatment…
I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I am a little over 80 and no plans to have any treatment. If I were several years younger I may have considered treatment. I don’t want any of that horrible poison put in my body at my age. I will go for lab work and pet scans to see how it progresses. It is my body and my choice. I just want to live the best I can until my time comes. Only God will know when that time is. I have no problem with what other people choose to do. It is their choice.
Good luck to you.

My Mom died of pancreatitis cancer. It was in 1990, Christmas Eve. She loved sugar and consumed lot lot lots sugar in her lifelong. Every food was added with refined sugar, even cakes. She loved sugar, period. In her menaupose years she used Tylenol daily for headaches and pain discomfort. A bit of anything that she feels uncomfortable, Tylenol is her answer. She became diabetic in her 60s. In 1989 she was diagnosed with pancreatitis cancer and went on surgery during the big earthquake in October 89. No chemo and she survived for 14 months till Christmas 1990. She passed peacefully in her sleep without suffering any pain. She went in to coma simply the cancer ate up all the sugar in her body. She died of cancer but was Free off diabetes at ger last stage. Dr said there's absolutely no sugar in her brain that caused coma.
I thanks God to spare ger the suffering of pain as I heard many people say pancreatitis cancer is very painful at the final stage. Dr gave me the morphine pills just in case but she didn't have to use any. She's gone after a day in coma. I see her case as a miracle surviving the cancer 14 months without pain. She was 65.
My hubby’s Mother died from pancreatic cancer that wasn’t diagnosed until 1 month before she died last year. It was devastating! I’ve been keto/ketovore/carnivore for the past 2 years and try to be an advocate for carnivore as often as possible. I feel better now than I did when I was 20. I went from 360 to 150 lbs over the past 10 years! Thank you, Dr. Ken Berry for your dedication to educating us!! ❤
@@jmseippIs that all he ate, just the beef, no BBQ sauce or anything on the meat, no side vegetables, no desserts?
@@jmseippi'm sorry for your loss. This horrible disease brings up more questions than answers.
I just want to mention that if his daily diet was to be considered Carnivore, that means his diet was exclusive of anything not animal-based.
Hence, no grains, above or below ground vegetables, or fruits. Honey is produced by bees, but unfortunately sugar, even though it has some good qualities.
So in essence, if he ALSO ate other non-animal based foods in his diet, he was NOT CARNIVORE.
As a side note, One of my uncles (my Mom's brother), died of pancreatic cancer, and I remember my Mom always talked so fondly of him, but one thing she stated first, each time she reminisced about him, was about his love for things like cakes and other sweet baked goods.
It's interesting how that particular thing stuck out in her mind about him.
Also, one of my aunts (one of her sisters), a couple years later, also died of pancreatic cancer!
I don't remember Mom mentioning her eating habits.
Her sister was older by a couple years, and her brother was younger by a couple years, but I think they were both in their 80's as was my Mom (Mom did NOT have pancreatic cancer).
Mom's entire family grew up mostly on farms in Minnesota.
But I know Mom and her older sister (the one who got pancreatic cancer in her 80's), had spent the later part of their childhood and teen years living with their grandparents, as their family home on the farm was too tiny for all of the kids with more on the way.
The grandparents had several larger farms, and later (in my Mom's teen years, moved with them into town), but Mom always talked about her grandpa making sure all the family (and hired farmhands), had plenty of meat to eat at each meal.
But that included not just red meat, but chicken, pork, eggs, cheese, milk, etc. in order to have the strength, stamina and brain power needed to push through the very long and hard days.
And of course she and her sister walked to school every day.
Mom especially remembered how everyone seemed so happy no matter how difficult and demanding their chores and farm life were.
Minnesota WINTERS were especially HARSH in the 1930's-40's when you lived on a farm!!
The family always made time to get together and play their musical instruments (some family members played more than one quite well), and they sang too!
Also they loved playing card games and listening to the radio shows.
She said she never knew they were "poor", because their families and farming communities were full of love (and probably they were too tired at the end of the day to cause anyone any "trouble").
No one was ever overweight, as all were quite tall and slim (but she said her Mom was petite in size, as were a couple sisters).
My Mom was quite tall and always slim (looked like a runway model, only much prettier LOL, and she was 5'11" tall.
She did say that a few certain family members loved to eat sweet baked goods, cakes, pies, and pastries, and they were the ones that developed T2 when older and no longer doing farm work,
(one grandfather of hers had some 😮toes and I think foot amputated), and she lost 2 of her 8 siblings to pancreatic cancer, but they were in their early 80's in age.

I believe 100% God healed your grandmother. I was prayed over when I delivered my triplets. I was very sick and had a 50% chance to live. My pastor came and prayed over me. My husband thought I was being silly. He said later if he hadn't witnessed it, he would have never believed it. It was a huge testimony for the nurses as well. I went from historical crying from the pain to falling sound asleep. I never even knew the pastor had left. I had been asleep several hours. The pain never came back. My faith in God is much greater than most because of the miracle he granted me. Believe in him completely ❤
La Paz de Cristo 🙏🙌
I prayed for many family members in my life and prayers didn't help any of them 😢
Alcohol is a problem too. You can only do so much for people, it's up to them in the end.
My best friend died of pancreatic cancer....11 months. Lots of sugar in his died but, couldn't talk to him because his P90X regime kept him from "Looking" unhealthy. All the while he was processing sugar constantly. I am a fan of Linus Pauling, Matthias Rath, Peter Glidden and Joel Wallach. They have changed my life. Ken, Thank you so much for this video.
I lost my brother to pancreatic cancer, we weren't related by blood but I could never call him my step brother. He was 37 years old. Him and his wife just had there second baby girl when he was diagnosed.
He lived life to the fullest even in the face of death.
One of my regrets in life is that I wish I'd spent more time with him before he past, he was much older than me but i feel like at my age now we could've been good friends.
I can't speak for his diet but i do remember when he was younger he was always drinking Mountain Dew and smoking cigarettes.
But it's a disease i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Even though he lost his life a year after diagnosis my brother was STRONGER than the cancer. He smiled, laughed, and enjoyed his two girls every second, minute, hour, and day that he had on this earth with his family.
Mountain Dew and Coke bad bad things.
I remember when we used to happily drink Jolt Cola. Brainless.
I wish I had known about sugar and carbs back then.
Last year my great grandson won an eating contest in school 42 donuts. This is child abuse and he knew better at 10 years old, but forgot.
The school no longer has any eating contest.
He was your pretend brother
I am sorry for the loss of your brother to this ravaging disease. Smoking is a well-known risk factor for pancreatic cancer, among many others.
My mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in May 2023. At the time she was an active woman running her own business, active in her church and community after losing my dad to hospital protocol treatment of covid in 2020. My sister and I are now taking care of her. She weighs 95 lb with her clothes on. I don’t know if she will survive until Christmas. She always loved sweets and although not hugely overweight was a type 2 diabetic. Her PCP kept telling her that her 135-140 blood sugar wasn’t “that bad”. NEVER encouraged her to change her diet Sadly… she wouldn’t listen to my sister and I when we tried to get her on keto at time of diabetes diagnosis. We are slowly watching her waste away. My son was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer 2 years ago at age 38. He changed everything and is now doing well. Sadly… with all the stress… I have gained 40 lb from stress eating carbs. I thank you for this video. It’s time I at least take care of my own diet and health.
make the changes asap

My mom died of pancreatic cancer in 2014 at the age of 71. She had been losing weight slowly for a couple of years and then she developed pain in her back. She was stage 4 when diagnosed. The cancer had spread to her liver. Watching her die was the most horrific thing, absolutely traumatizing. She lived 8 months after diagnosis. I will be digging out my lab results from June to see what I can find! Thank you for the info.
my mom the same exact... how painful seeing your mother suffer like this. I miss her every second of every day 💔
@@elaa1934 I understand:(
My mother did the same thing. Diagnosed with Stage 4 on Dec 29, when it was found, tumor was size of a lemon. In a few short months it covered liver, small& large intestines & stomach. She made it 5 months. I feel your pain, prayers to you. 💔 her only symptoms were weight loss & back pain. 😢
Thank you Dr. Berry for raising this issue. My father died from pancreatic cancer. I watched him go from 185lbs down to 160lbs in less than three months. It was a painful time in my life. I will heed your advice.
I also lost my father to pancreatic cancer and it was also 3 months after diagnosis.
Same here. Lost my father less than 3 months after diagnosis. It’s a painful and horrible thing to see someone go through…my condolences to you. This has me motivated to limit carbs, eat healthy, fast at least 14 hours and excercise.
My best friend was having having stomach pains. She called me to tell me that she had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I thought, “ Oh good, now they can fix her stomach trouble.” Stupid me. I didn’t know what it was. I mentioned it to a friend who was a nurse. She told me it was fatal and moved fast. I flew out right away to see her. I won’t go into details, but the symptoms were horrible. She died a month later. Her father had died from diabetes.
Thank you, Dr. Berry! Losing my best friend to pancreatic Cancer at 60 years of age, I know the pain this terrible disease can cause. I learn so much from you.
Thank you for this! My uncle died of pancreatic cancer within 3 months of diagnosis. He was an alcoholic and did not have the best diet. I am carnivore 6 months with occasional days of ketovore. Appreciate it.
That’s an insane range! I had an uncle by marriage die of this cancer. He loved baked goods. He ate real food to get to dessert.
When I got pushback for asking for those labs I strongly and politely pushed. I got them. Thanks to your advice Dr Berry.
My wife’s uncle died of pancreatic cancer over a year ago. This was before I had any knowledge of a proper human diet. I prayed and asked the Lord why he died because I couldn’t understand how someone could go so fast. And step by step he showed me the evolution and perversion of the human diet. This is the reason my wife and I have been carnivore for over a year now. Thanks for this video doc!
My grandfather died of pancreatic cancer and now I have type 2 diabetes from dad side of the family and will certainly get the c peptide test.
Doing a ketovore diet for a while now and made huge difference in A1C. Thanks Dr, I listen to you frequently!
Next week I have an MRI booked to check out my pancreas….it’s frightening. Something was seen on a CT scan for diverticulitis a few weeks ago. I had severe acute pancreatitis 17 years ago and it caused immense damage. It was idiopathic, I didn’t drink. I have a low fasting insulin…so that’s one thing in my favour. Here’s hoping they find scar tissue and nothing else.
I had a couple of MRIs for prostate cancer and a shadow appeared on the first. Before having the prostate removed I had the second MRI specifically to check my pancreas. It was clear however something I'm aware of. So be of good cheer brave warrior. What will be will be and may your MRI be clear.
I pray for your good health, hope all will be good
@@thetriumphsprint
I’m 60, not obese, and currently in the process of having an MRI of my pancreas and ultrasound of my liver. I also don’t smoke or drink but have had about five acute pancreatitis attacks since 2005. Last attack in Oct 2023. My diet isn’t great but I try to eat responsibly. However, it seems carbs is most likely the culprit since I have noted what foods I was indulging in prior to each attack. High fats, sweets, and carb overload. All tests have come back with favorable results during and post hospitalization. Except my enzyme counts during my attack at over 7k. I too hope they find only scar tissue. 🙏🏽
Praying all goes well 🙏🙏

FIVE years? My sweet little Earth Angel sis, Ginelle, was gone within 3 months. She barely made it to 38. That was the exact time her doc gave her. It completely shattered our family. Wish to GOD I had known about the powerful effects of eating carnivore back then (2018). She looked fit and was taking good care of herself. It was a shock to all of us.
Five years is the amount of time the medical establishment uses to measure cancer treatment success or prognosis, etc. He didn't just pull that random timeframe out of his head. He pointed out that a patient is often gone in 4 to 6 months. So sorry for your loss.
I have so much anxiety watching this
Me too 😳

My mother passed away 8 years ago from pancreatic cancer. She started noticing dark urine in May. June received her diagnosis, had to have her bile duct drain with a bag. July had major Whipple surgery to reconstruct and remove tumors. February passed away. 😞 thanks for sharing Dr. ❤
Same pretty much with my mom but 9 years ago and no whipple surgery since it as too late already anyway. I'm homeless in my car now. I've had such a terrible life.
A friends son developed pancreatic cancer at 40 years of age. Guy of on 2 meters in length weighed 40 kg when she phoned me. FIVE weeks later he had gained 2,5 kg
after we started treating him ourselves. HIGH Vit E, C and highish doses of other
regular Vits. He immediately had to go Keto with diet. Ketones provide better energy
to mitochondria to combat inflamation. Far as i remember he also started Tim Noakses Bullet Proof Coffee routine. Omega 3. I think his mothers brilliant idea for controlling the extreem pain without poisoning the body further, was key to his survival ! She put him on his back and filled his navel marujana oil!! Ten minutes
and the pain had resided!!. This happened 2/3 years ago and guy is still fine. We are not dr's, just Natuaral Health enthosiasts. Learnt hard lessons. The regular dr's
suffer from restricted thinking they have been coditioned into, very dangeros lot.
Fantastic, as a patient, you're the first advocate of your own health. Great knowledgeable actions were taken.
My pancreas gets inflamed causing abdominal pain I hear fatty food is making my pancreas overwork because lack of digestive enzymes they suggest fish, skinless chicken, and turkey over beef and pork you keep saying keto diet is good but isn't that a high fat diet?
@@JoeCruz-xx2cw Take note of the color of your excrement Joe. It should be Yellow! If dark, you are in trouble. If you are not on a extreme Keto diet, it should also float. Focus on improving Vit E and C levels, go high on them. Also balans yr amino acds. L-Arginine and L-Citroline. Try best to increase bodies Nitric Oxcide levels. It seems fermented Beet is helpfull.

Wow, straight info without an agenda. Outstanding presentation.
My dad passed from Pancreatic cancer and it was horrible to see him struggle the last month he was with us. I've followed you for a couple of years and I will take this to heart. I am 67 and hope that it's not too late for me. I have been eating lower carb about 50-60 a day but will try and lower this even more. I do get cramps though when I go below 50 a day.
Hello! Need to lower your carb intake drastically to around 10 only and then reduce that and you’ll feel great!
Try pickle juice for cramping! It worked for me
Electrolytes for cramps(salt, magnesium and potassium)
My father died of pancreatic cancer back at the end of 1990. He was 46 years old. He was in relatively good shape for his age at the time. A bit overweight for his height ('5"11 around 200) but no where close to obese. His diet was probably typical of a lot of people his age at the time but he was never a junk food/sweets type, and would try lots of things that would fall into the category of "healthy" during the 70s and 80s. While I don't disagree with the study that says hyperinsulinemia raises your risk I feel there are also environmental factors that possibly play a role was well. He had two close friends/co-workers that died of the same thing some years after. Anyway -- thanks for the useful info.
This was a very informative video for me to watch. My Mom who was well her whole life and lived a healthy lifestyle died at age 75 of pancreatic cancer. My mom' two sisters also died of pancreatic cancer in their early 80's of pancreatic cancer I am now in my late 60's so naturally I am worried for myself, my sister and brother.
I love your no nonsense and spot on approach to wellness.
Worked with a friend that was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in January 2000. It does move fast. His doctor said he had a bad gene that predisposed his entire family to Pancreatic Cancer. His father and all his uncles passed from it. Back in January 2000 he looked like he was at deaths door but a woman that I also worked for talked him into going on a clinical trial at John Hopkins where they freeze the tumors with liquid nitrogen. He was resistant but he did go. When he returned after two weeks of recovery he returned to work with a spring in his step and great color. You would never know that he ever had cancer. He remained cancer free for ten years, then the cancer returned with a vengeance. The cancer spread to his lungs, liver, and head. When I left employment in 2015 he was making his final arrangements. I don`t know how but he is still alive today living with cancer. Perhaps modern cancer therapies are keeping him going. He is five years into his retirement. That clinical trial gave him a new lease on life, for ten years at least.
Did he get vaxed?
Dr Thomas Seyfried has found that cancer is a metabolic disease, not genetic….caused by excessive carbohydrates damaging the mitochondria. The cure: starve the cancer cells by depriving them of glucose and glutamine. He’s big into the carnivore community…if you could research this then share it with your friend, that may give them what they need to become cancer free instead of living with cancer.

My 70 year old sister who was NEVER sick died within 1 month of her diagnosis. It was horrible and quick.
My best friend died of pancreatic cancer last Nov. It will be a yr on Nov 28. We had been friends for 37 yrs. I miss her alot. She was diabetic and didn't take as good of care of herself in the last five yrs of her life. She was so brave and lived a yr & 1/2 with it.

Both my mom and uncle died on pancreatic cancer in China.They were all skinny. I knew my mom ate balanced. But I see the common things they had, stress and sleep problem.
My mom was stress by my dad who put his life savings on those scams. She often listened to radio if she couldn't sleep at night. Night bedtime is the time we repair our immune system. It's crucial time for good health.
Why didn’t they just get off pancreatic cancer?

my dad got pancreatic cancer and it spread to his liver. Sadly he died within 5 months of diagnosis. My dad ate a lot of sweets (candy to you Americans) and he loved cereals in the morning and pastries in the evening (pies in particular). The amount of protein he ate was minimal. His diet was very carby. I loved him so much and I miss him so much. It was heartbreaking seeing him die like that. He was bleeding a lot at the end from his nose; his blood could no longer clot and he was so thin and weak. It kills people so fast. I have been controlling my carb intake. Some days it is only 50 grams but other days just over 100g. I need to work on keeping it low all the time. Pancreatic cancer is terrifying
My story is very similar to yours. It’s terrible to watch dad go out like that. I’m keeping my carbs around 100 per day too. Fingers crossed.
Lowcarb diet is below 50 grams, keto is below 20 grams
Even 50 grams is WAAAAaaay too high in my opinion. 😱😱
25 or less is EASY !

My Father got pancreatic cancer in 1990. Then, the survival rate was 2%. We were blessed to keep him for 15 more years. He was in the hospital for over a year and underwent the Whipple procedure. He died and was revived once in that year. Prevention would be better than any cure or treatment. I am battling my own weight by fasting. I watched him slowly decline and finally pass at 56 years old. In a word, it sucked.
I have the Braca2 gene, plus my sister just died of pancreatic cancer. I’m high risk. I go to Seattle once a year for screening. One year just a ct scan , next year an endoscopy. Last month I asked my GP for a fasting insulin- he said that would not tell him anything and doctors don’t do that anymore. I also asked for a CAC at first he didn’t even know what that was. And then when I explained it, he said oh yeah, that he said that’s obsolete. He said no one does that anymore.!! I need to find a new Dr
Please look into healthy eating, such as all forms of organic berries, tumeric, & similar healthy foods. There is an extremely knowledgeable naturopath named Barabara O'neil who talks about diseases are not caught from genes. Based on research only about 10% are gene related. This is why it is more beneficial to focus on living a healthy lifestyle over worrying that a disease is in one's family.
Sadly, this is not talked about by U.S doctors. Instead, they want people to be frantic & think that if a disease is in their lood line, they're likely to get it, whicg is not true. And there's a lot of research to support this, but it will not get promoted by most doctors. Look into TH-cam Dr. Berg who is a naturopath. He gives great advice about health & natural remedies.
Remember that pharmacy is a billion dollar industry, so it wouldn't be in "their best" interest to have too many healthy people. This is why the U.S is the #1 developed country in the world with the most cancers, heart disease, & every form of illness, along with the most prescribed drugs!!! It is essential that people ALWAYS look into natural remedies as well to maintain one's health, as it has existed for 1,000s of yrs before prescriptions.
Stay well & enjoy every moment!! From the U.S.
Start drinking soursop tea daily and 3 apricot seeds , black seed oil extract. Look up all the people who have cured their cancer and use this as preventative. Or do a parasite cleanse each month. Parasites are what’s causing this cancer. Good luck ❤
I am sure I was on my way to prostate cancer, and/or pancreatic cancer, both being caused by Hyperinsulinemia. I had a sugar addiction for many years, as well as bread, potato chips, crackers, rice etc. I have an enlarged prostate (root cause: Hyperinsulinemia), going down now due to vigilant healthy diet.
There has been a huge rise in all type cancers since the industrialization of food.
Eat non-industrialized food. The End.
I eat low carb, steak, beef, chicken but I also love vegetables, salad, to me the perfect meal is a steak fried in butter and a salad with homemade low carb dressing(I use very little).
Pancreatic Cancer has been a big influence on my why for a few yrs. I had a niece die in 08 at 42 from it. It killed her in 5 months. She was a smoker and I once read that was the #1 cause. She had 2 girls in their early teens. I had another niece die last yr. She lived exactly 1 yr. She had a 10yr old little girl she adopted when she was a newborn. From what I've learned from you, I believe she either had hyperinsulinemia or was an undiagnosed diabetic. She had PCOS, was infertile from it, she was about 40lbs overweight and had the body shape where she had little legs and a belly. (Diabetic belly?) It scares me.
My mother died from pancreatic cancer. 1996. It was not the best “way to go”, I’ll tell you. Trying to do very low carb myself…. Meat and Veg is good for me. I need to do better - especially with this new information and a family history.
I recently saw the story of Joe Tippens who took Panacur (worming medication for dogs) at the advice of a veterinarian. There are early trials showing Fendbendazole decreasing the cancer. This man was given 3 months to live and years later he is still alive. I don't know why stories like this aren't huge news.
I’ll tell you why ,because Big Pharma doesn’t want people to know because it’s cheap medication and cancer is BIG business, and most likely they pay platforms to suppress the information.
Because of RIG pHARMA and greedy complicit career politicians
Incredible stories like his aren't all over the news because it won't make the drug companies money. It is a billion dollar industry, so it wouldn't be in their best interest to have too many healthy people. This is why the U.S is the #1 developed country in the world with the most cancers, heart disease, & every form of illness, along with the most prescribed drugs!!! It is essential that people ALWAYS look into natural remedies as well to maintain one's health; it has existed for 1,000s of yrs before prescriptions.
I have been so disappointed over how few people know about Joe Tippen’s story and I can’t tell you how many people I’ve seen struggling with end-stage cancer, and I’ve told them about Joe Tippen and yet I have never heard one response from them or even an acknowledgment that they saw my message. Heartbreaking to know there might be a cure for them but they don’t check the comments left for them. Another frustrating thing is more and more people are sharing their story of success and the fact that they are completely cancer free after taking Joe Tippen’s protocol but nobody will tell you where or how they are getting the panacur/fendbendazole. I have no clue how they’re getting it.
@@benicio1967 I’ll listen… tell me .
Your library is impressive…..can’t have too many books!
I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2020 . They removed 1/3 of my pancreas. I was lucky, it was stage 1. I don’t see why insurance won’t pay for a scan every 3 years or so , like a colonoscopy.
What was the size of the cancer
Thank you so much for all your free information. Not everyone has access to this kind of information, even from their primary doctors who they pay a lot of money to see.
Lost my Dad in May to this terrible disease, they caught it super early, it made no difference. I am lost without him. He wouldn’t listen, he used insulin as a band aid. My heart is broken, I believed he’d beat it, I didn’t know it was already too late. I feel cheated.
I am so sorry, at times words are not enough.
I feel your pain I lost my dad to the same disease I was very hopeful he would beat it. May your dad rest in peace
I have a cyst on my pancreas, which is being monitored. It is a type of cyst that can turn to cancer and is very very small. The diet they suggest is high in carbs, bread, oatmeal, cracker veggies, no red meat. Low fat chicken and fish. I’m sticking to my keto/carnivore diet, I do take Super Enzymes, as I had a problem with my gallbladder. I also take a probiotic and drink ginger tea.
My mother died of pancreatic cancer 05/2023. She was 230 lbs before the weight start to come off. Over 3 years she was slowly losing weight. The last 2 years she wasn't really eating. The last year she would not eat and started having abdominal issues. We finally got her to go to her doctor. She was diagnosed stage 3 and 4 months after her final radiation treatment she died and only weighed 99lbs. This cancer is horrible 😢.
I’m so sorry for your loss🙏🙏
My sister was diagnosed three months ago with this disgusting disease, I visited her in hospital yesterday, she is wasting away in front of us and end of life hospice care is all she has to look forward to and there is nothing any of us can do except tell her we love her as much as we can.
She turns 70 in 4 weeks but it’s doubtful she will last that long, we lost a sister to this two years ago and we never thought it would strike twice, she was the first person in our family to have pancreatic cancer.
I have been trying to stick with the carnivore diet for the the past few months but it is difficult when you are bombarded by so called medical experts on you tube completely disagreeing with what Dr Berry says, I would love to see a straight forward debate on this.
Too late for my sister, but maybe the benefits of a carnivore lifestyle could save others or at least prolong lives, just so confusing.
My heart goes out to all those people and family members touched by this terrible disease.
Mike.
Greetings from New Zealand.
🙏🏻 prayers ,peace ,Strength
Thank you for the prayers, we appreciate them.
My sister has been moved to the hospice and is as comfortable as possible with lots of family around.
That’s all we can do for her.
Blessings.
A surgeon I know was told in training that the pancreas must be the seat of the human soul because operating on it can be so dangerous… also that a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is as good as a death sentence.
It's important to develop realistic habits. Cut out all soft drinks, pure fruit juices. Make sweets a treat. A treat is not something you eat every day. Eat a balanced diet, leaning towards protein and vegetables and away from carbohydrates, especially processed. These are all realistic over a long term. Total deprivation of sweets and carbs over the long term is for most people not realistic.
Wow this Sunday we had my nephew funeral and yesterday we bury him. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this January. Worst cancer ever(lot of real heavy pain) 39 and left a wife and six year daughter! 💔😭
Prayers for your family
😪🙏🏼
I’m so sorry. Sounds like my brother’s story. He had a 6 year old daughter and 10 year old son. Sucked.
Do you mind sharing, where was his pain? Not seeing anyone describing the location of the pain. Sorry for your loss.
@@lvncsr6166 his pain was like a heavy stomach aid. Then all the pelvic area was in pain!
Hello. I would love to see you do some videos on the benefits of Castor oil and castor oil packs. Do they really do any good and what effect does castor oil have on your health, good or bad? Can you take it internally? What vitamins and minerals are found in it? Are Castor oil packs a good idea to integrate into a new year resolution?
Thank you and hope to see a video on this soon !
Yes I'd love to know this also!
Yes please!!!!!!!
Thanks Doc. This is certainly a motivation to get it right, when your family history is positive for PC cancer. Awesome study.
At 67 my dad died of pancreatic cancer. He took blood pressure meds for 25 years with no adjustments over the years, took the odd whiskey, ate the diet my mum ate. My mum lived to 93 & only started BP meds at 82. My 2 brothers & I follow a vegan and Keto diets with little or no meds and have outlived my dad by more than a dozen years. Over medication is rarely mentioned when in many presentations on pancreatic cancer, liver cancer and kidney failure.
You want to say that medications contributed to having cancer in case of your dad
@@oliverabone4564 That is a possibility. Blood pressure medication caused it
Beef, butter, bacon, eggs...will solve every important problem you have.
There are certain groups that as a matter of their belief systems won’t eat meat, and others won’t eat pork.
No it doesn’t work that way. It’s a TOOL . Not everyone can eat food .
@@ChristinesobsevationsSo when did you quit eating food?
@@Christinesobsevations I can eat food just fine.
I don't always eat food. Once I ate a checkbook and got sick. It had plastic in it that really messed me up. Is plastic high carb?
I’ve been following Dr Berry and other for a number of years now with success and am very grateful for this sharing of this lifestyle information. My recent request for a fasting insulin test along with the other things of the blood panel was questioned by my provider, but she ordered it. Came back 1.9. I was very happy, but she wasn’t and wanted to go down the Type 1 diabetics rabbit hole. I said I feel fine, and with a fasting glucose of 84, she let me slide, admonishing me that it will be checked again in 3months. I’ve got to find me a new PCP but that’s proving to be very difficult.
There are places like Any Lab Test now and Ultra Lab Tests where you can get these kinds of tests ordered without relying on the so-called "provider". Fact is most medical personnel are not as enlightened as Ken Berry.
If your diet is causing tooth decay "cavities" it's also promoting cancer.
Exactly. I had a lot of fillings in my teeth in my teens. I was horrified and immediately cut sugar from my diet. I am 67 and keep to that to this day. In fact now I can't eat sweet things because they are far too sickly. In an odd twist it turned out that my dentist was fired because he was putting fillings into healthy teeth....but in the end he did me a favour.
My father and grandmother had pancreatic cancer at the same time and dies 3 weeks from each other. It was about a year they had it before passing away. My sister and I are both very afraid of developing this . Thank you for posting this video.
Also add Dihydroberberine! My insulin went down to 4 in 3 months and my cholesterol lipid markers also went down. I’ve been HFLC for some time, but the Berberine made a huge difference. Also stress raises cortisol which raises glucose, it’s not always only what you eat.
So, many brands and herbs that berberine is sourced from… Which type & brand do you take? Any tummy distress or loose stools?
I use Super Berberine by SugarMd. The Dihydroberberine form doesn’t upset the stomach. I take 2 a day, spread out. I’m super excited about my test results after adding the Berberine for 3 months. My insulin has never been this low. I have genetic heterozygous hypercholesterolemia ( 1 copy of the gene) so to see it bring down my Apo B was surprising. Looking forward to better long term effects.
Stress is a real killer!!!
Yes! Berberine lowers blood sugar! Keto is a good protocol and it brought down my triglycerides from 101 to 44 in one month!
Dr Berry, I thank God for you and pray for you and your family everyday
Intermittent Fasting (18/6, 20/4, 22/4) along with no processed carbs (I do eat fruit), is what finally dropped my fasting insulin to 5.
You mean 22/2 in your equations? I do 22/2. Have been for over two years.
@@1MSally1965 No. 22 /4-5. It takes me more than 2 hours to eat my healthy nutrient dense mini meals. I just sometimes fast for 22 hours before finally eating.
I think Charflorida5433 might be suggesting that technically you are then doing 20/4 or 19/5 fast if the feeding window is 4-5 hours, still a great fast, but there are only 24 hours in a day.
@@ggergg6423 Right. Sometimes I go beyond a technical 24 hour day.
I have been carnivore for 5 years and my blood insulin is still high. Glucose is in normal range. Fasting insulin on my latest test was 62.3053 (140 mol/l). When i went on carnivore my autoimmune issues disappeared but my insulin didn't come down. I have added some veg back in but still really low in carbs. Brother died of pan can.
I also didn't lose any weight.
I know several people who were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer they were literally feeling okay one week sick the next and then dead in less than a month.
My stepdad, was diagnosed and died in 4... 😭
@@cherryl676 my sympathies!
My husband died within 4 months after being diagnosed. We were told it’s a slow growing cancer that isn’t detected because there weren’t/aren’t any tests and it takes 20 years to grow to stage3-4 that’s why they die so fast.
Same a classmate of mine from diagnosis to death took 2 months.
Thanks once again, Doc!
Yes important. In addition please research and post the importance of a proper enzyme balance in preventing pancreatic cancer.
