Dr. Berg - Don’t forget about the benefits to breastfeeding mothers. Women who are prone to clogged ducts, mastitis, and lactational abscesses benefit greatly from (sunflower) lecithin. It keeps the milk slightly thinned out so the milk doesn’t back up and cause clogged ducts. :)

An absolute treasure for those of us who want to live as naturally healthy as possible. And I'm not a bot or AI 🙂
I have a tablespoon of soya lecithin every day. I take it mainly for cholesterol so this is very interesting because it is in a lot of stuff. I heard 80% of soya is GMO in America. I am very careful with soya for this reason. No idea it had so many benefits including reversing a fatty liver so learned a lot from Dr Berg but I’m always learning from Dr Berg. The again, I need to eat more eggs so I’m going to try that. I know Dr Berg eats four eggs a day. Thanks so much. One of the best things to come from your tube is this channel.

I use a LOT of sunflower lecithin. Have used it all my life in almost all of my savory recipes. I've been on the keto diet for about 26 years and I am now 72 years old. I can STILL turn cartwheels on my back lawn with my grandchildren. Not simply because I use lecithin, but because I adhere to the keto diet and use nootropics and other natural health foods. But best of all is what I DON'T eat... sugars... of any kind. I'm lucky because I don't like sweet foods. Even as a child, if I tasted something sweet I would spit it out. It tasted disgusting to me and still does. There is no reason to eat anything sweet.
I heard oatmeal has much lecithin. I knew an elderly guy once who ate oatmeal every day. He had no hardening of the arteries, great memory, no heat problems, and was active.
@@ed7519 Forget about it ! There are so many sites now rehabilitating this wonderful product of mother nature. And those pretty FEW carbs containing -> "negligeable" !!!
I have taken Lecithin capsules for 30 years, along with capsules of a herbal liver builder/cleanser. My doctor told me that I am the only woman he knows of, who has had as many children as I have, who still has her gallbladder. It has become a habit, but sometimes I forget how many wonderful things Lecithin does. On the other hand I get headaches when I eat eggs. I can get away with eating yolks once a week, but not everyday. Eggs everyday make me feel heavy. Since a child I only ate the yoke. I found out that a biotin deficiency causes this problem with eggs. Seems strange since I have taken brewers yeast (which is Vita B) tabs for just about as many years as the Lecithin. So now I take biotin separately. Our bodies are unique. Do you have an idea on why I cannot get biotin out of a good quality brewer's yeast?
I went down a rabbit hole with this and arrived at Lecithin. I've been supplementing Choline with GPC Choline and Citicholine and I have been supplementing Trimethylglycine (Betaine). I was generally researching my supplements as I tend to do, and I learned that Choline is Betaine with an extra methyl group (Tetramethylglycine vs Trimethylglycine). I learned there is a form of Choline with a fat particle attached (Phosphatidlycholine), and that there is large amounts of Phosphatidlycholine in Lecithin. Could I just take Lecithin as a supplement and knock out possibly three other things from my supplement list?
@@TW-il4vy lecithin or eggs is contradictory some studys claim. they say its mostly for artificial cholin like in carnitin supplements or cholin tartrat. didnt figure this for lecithin nor eggs.
@@helenahandkart1857 I try to eat eggs just over easy, the yolk being as soft as I can make it. I think it just absorbs better. Maybe just my thinking. Lecithin has been a part of my diet sine 1981, now I'm 56. My good cholesterol is 3x most peoples.

I started taking soy lecithin every day back in the 1990's because it's an ingredient in Greens Plus, described by Sam Graci as an edible detergent (2 grams per serving) and when I stopped taking Greens Plus I kept on taking Soy Lecithin granules for years (at least 5 grams every day) and I recently switched to Sunflower Lecithin.

Dr Berg, I have asked this question before but didn’t get a reply. I have fatty liver and numerous tiny gallstones. Should I take Bile salts or Sunflower Lecithin. Or should I take both together? Please reply as I don’t want to lose my gallbladder.
@@toasto-rama1302 I have seen three Doctors and all have told me that gallstones have no cure except surgical removal of gallbladder. Dr Berg is the only one i know who has given hope.
You could always eat 2 or 3 eggs a day and try bile salts. That way your only actually taking one supplement. I'm going to try the bile salts, I don't have stones or sludge but the Dr's think my gallbladder isn't working the way it should. But I don't hurt anywhere in my stomach. I have a burning pain in my mid spine and my ribs hurt on the right side now all the way down from that point on. I have very bad bloating and distention and no one knows what is going on with me. Was in the hospital for 2 days with ileus, it's where your intestines quit working but the Dr couldn't understand why mine wasn't working because it's not normal for people to get it unless you have had surgery on your stomach or in a car accident and the seat belt injured the intestines. So been going through this since mid 2014 to the present. Hope you find out something to help you. I don't know if you have major bloating and distention like me but if you do I know your pain.

Black currant oil is great for neuropathy at least 3000 mcg under the tongue.
@@lisag6025 you should try magnesium glycinate
@@lisag6025b6, B12, b1. Neurobion, but especially MECONERV and Renerve are good brands to reverse neuropathy. They contain all these in addition to ALA, benfotiamine etc. and your neuropathy will be gone. I use MECONERV and RENERVE
Is Holland & Barrett Ultra Soya Lecithin 50 Capsules good for you or not please let me know cuz I just brought some thanks ???
@Dr. Eric Berg DC is that 3,362 mg of lecithin in a raw egg yolk or in cooked?
Here we go Dr Eric Berg has all the answers.. I always need. I was looking up sunflower lecithin.. and checked in..
Wonderful, very glad you found some information! Thanks for watching!
I started taking soy lecithin every day back in the 1990's because it's an ingredient in Greens Plus, described by Sam Graci as an edible detergent (2 grams per serving) and when I stopped taking Greens Plus I kept on taking Soy Lecithin granules for years (at least 5 grams every day) and I recently switched to Sunflower Lecithin. (at least 5 grams every day) Back in 2019 I had a cardiac arrest and was dead for 20 minutes, I was defibrillated 8 times and spent the next 2 weeks in St. Boniface Hospital while they looked for a reason why that happened, they didn't come up with an answer for why it happened but they did say I was an extraordinary physical specimen beacause of how "cleaned out" I was.
are u saying the soy/sunflower lecithin caused ur cardiac arrest?
@@resiliated9326 They don't know what caused my cardiac arrest and either do I.
@@malibustacy3606are you still taking lecithin?
@@GENERATIONALHEALTHLLC 10-15 grams a day.
@@malibustacy3606 fantastic
i find soy lecitin in almost every product I see... Is it safe to use?
Dr Berg, I have asked this question before but didn’t get a reply. I have fatty liver and numerous tiny gallstones. Should I take Bile salts or Sunflower Lecithin. Or should I take both together? Please reply as I don’t want to lose my gallbladder.
Dr Berg, you're doing a great job; you are so thorough. God bless you in Jesus name, amen
It is better to visit a doctor directly to ask this question since Dr. berg may or may not see this question.
@@toasto-rama1302 I have seen three Doctors and all have told me that gallstones have no cure except surgical removal of gallbladder. Dr Berg is the only one i know who has given hope.
@@MrWebSearcher wish you all the best mate
You could always eat 2 or 3 eggs a day and try bile salts. That way your only actually taking one supplement.
I'm going to try the bile salts, I don't have stones or sludge but the Dr's think my gallbladder isn't working the way it should.
But I don't hurt anywhere in my stomach. I have a burning pain in my mid spine and my ribs hurt on the right side now all the way down from that point on.
I have very bad bloating and distention and no one knows what is going on with me.
Was in the hospital for 2 days with ileus, it's where your intestines quit working but the Dr couldn't understand why mine wasn't working because it's not normal for people to get it unless you have had surgery on your stomach or in a car accident and the seat belt injured the intestines.
So been going through this since mid 2014 to the present. Hope you find out something to help you. I don't know if you have major bloating and distention like me but if you do I know your pain. God bless 💞🙏💞
I watched your interview with Ghaida. I don't know how to believe it. You are very kind, this girl exaggerates her words and her psychological state, not membership, but she only wanted to attract the attention of others
Do you know her background or you are just giving a negative comment.
@@hibakahin1994
This fact is exaggerated and you believe it because you are good, this is a mental patient
What happens if you produce too much bile? Should I take it? Also I don't have a gallbladder.
It helps with perimenopause anxiety. During some points of my cycle, I'll get crazy out of the blue anxiety
Dr. berg
dose it help for xanthlasma ( fat deposit in eyelid ) removal from the eyelids?????????
I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!

I am also troubled with this xanthelasma
Sunflower lecithin lowered my anxiety and made feel great but I feel like it also made my hair shed thin for some reason so I quit
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍
I am so thankfull for Dr.Berg
Very glad to be of help.
I took tons of this stuff in the 70's, it was cheap and has no side effects....
I get it!
May I ask what you took it for?
@@NomfundoV8 I had read it was really good for you and also your brain...
@@Bass.Player Thank you
Can I use sunflower Lecithin oil instead of powder to lower LDL cholesterol? I don't know if powder and oil has the same effects on lowering cholesterol.. Someone please?
I was considering buying PS for memory problems. Is purchasing Lecithin (from sunflowers seeds) just as good - It is quite a bit cheaper in price. My Mom took Lecithin for lowering cholesterol and she was sharp as a tack well into her eighties. Hmm!!
Which type of lecithin did your mom take?
Can you take lecithin with milk thistle? Not watched vid yet watch later. Thsnks
You can but not at the same time.
Great info Dr. Berg!
Thank you Dr. Burg may God bless you
How does soy lecithin differ from plain lecithin?
What about sunflower lecithin I use it to augment the strength of my adult snacks?
What's the difference between sunflower lecthin and sunflowe oil? i hear sunflower oil is bad for you. Also, does sunflower lecithin cause menopause?
Wow!! I didn't know lecithin was a good thing 😆 thank u so much for this!
Very glad to be of help.
3:15 correction "It can help you reduce your LDL, not HDL"
I eat eggs, peanuts, beef, cabbage, cauliflower everyday.
I can t eat eggs or milk because i have prostate inflammation and the estrogen in them make it worse. Cofeine and sugar does the same. I was drinking 3 litters of milk a day and 15 eggs a few years ago with no problems.
@@pacificbase Probably the GMO's are messing with you. My husband could eat bananas and peanuts with no problem but not anymore. They're designing our food to be incompatible with us.
@@pacificbase check with your Dr u trust for why that's the case. Internet is not the place for diagnosis
@@pacificbase How come Maasai men have no prostate problems dinking 3-4 liters of full milk per day?
@@tomashull9805 it's probably raw unpasteurized milk unlike what most Americans drink nowadays. I buy raw milk for that very reason and it doesn't upset my stomach like other milk products. They still contain the enzymes and probiotics that get removed in the pasteurization process.
But sunflower lecithin is from a seed oil. I thought we are supposed to avoid seed oils? 🙄 I can't keep up. 😫
Think for yourself: Try the WHOLE product: thats sunflower GRAIN ! Our birdies show us . . .
Lowers cholesterol.
Improves heart health.
Aids breastfeeding mothers.
Helps improve digestion.
May fight dementia symptoms.
Soothes and moisturizes skin.
Hi Dr Berg - sorry me again.
I do eat a lot of salt and take KCL 600mg twice a day and I do eat quite a lot of veg and salad . I am slim. Feel the cold badly . I do exercise. Why all the terrible night sweats ? Please help. I would be forever grateful. Thank you
Is there a good lecithin supplement
Dr Berg what is your take on sunflower lecithin in protein Powder.
Hello there! I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!
Dr. Berg's Support Team.
I am also interested.
I've been taking lecithin to help with breastfeeding my newborn.
What are the benefits??
Disappointed after watching this, I thought I found a good unflavoured whey isolate protein powder which contains 3 things: whey protein isolate, soy Lecithin, sunflower lecithin. I won't be buying it after finding out soy lecithin and the hexane/gmo connection.
Could you please comment on sunflower lecithin?
Dr Berg do you know if Lecethin is hard on the kidneys or if it should be avoided if someone has kindey problems?
NO ! It is - in contrary (not only !) VERY GOOD for your l i v e r !
@@AL_THOMAS_777 Thank you
dr berg ...what is your take on lecithin possibly raising tmao levels which are a possible factor in heart diseases...your feedback would be appreciated
Tmao?
What type of lecithin do you recommend in supplement form besides soy?
Hi, DR please I just want to ask you about eating cashews it should be raw or roasted hope to hear from you soon thanks CLELANT London.
Which ever way you prefer.
Thanks, Dr Berg!
Is sunflower lecithin a dangerous ingredient? I was looking up to see if sunflower lecithin is a bad ingredient because I bought a coconut milk and I noticed all of the coconut and almond milk/ creams have sunflower lecithin in them in a small amount.
Why on earth would they be dangerous?
Because of the extraction method?
But there's really just a tiny fraction added as emulgator...
is sunflower lecithin healthy?
What about sunflower lecithin? I see that as an emulsifier in a lot of foods, would you recommend?
Lecithin and Choline seem to have similar benefits. Which one is better?
Dandelion flowers are a good source of lecithin.
I understood that it helps with bile flow therefore helps with digestion of fatty and non fatty food. I'm going to give it a try as well.
But what's the problem with GMO?
Dr Berg, Sunflower or Soy lecithin to lower cholesterol?
Hi doctor B my daughter following your keto diet and fasting and so am I she weight 82Kgm now she is 70 Kgm more then 2 month now her weight stop no loss I ask how she can keep going loss weight esly like first loss ⛔Think to you
You said HDL where the board said LDL. Please clarify? Thank you so much for your content!!!
Excellent lessons thanks doc
I have read several times that non-gmo soy lecithin is very good for clearing arteries and allowing for better blood flow. Has anyone here experience that?
Speed of the video 2x is perfectly works for me.
Can lecithin help in pregnancy for fatty liver
Don’t take this if you have seizures because I took this with my medicine and it felt like I was gonna fall over all day
Don't ever take anything with your prescription drugs if you are not sure. always give 2hrs gap between herbs/natural extracts and prescription drugs. Coz one may affect the metabolism of the other
I need your help dr berg.My grandma is 93 and she is losing her memory and trouble recognizing location. She is in good health no health issues and on zero medications. No blood sugar problems. Her doctor says it is age factor so no solution. But I know she was fine a year ago no memory problems but now in three mon6it getting worse everyday.ease any vitamins or food recommendations which can help.
Try coconut oil + phosphatidylserine + chromium picolinate + omega 3 + b complex

@@flower7341 most welcome you can also add a DNA supplement such as Astragalus / Telomeres... please update us on how she's doing
Recent study says lecithin additive acts as detergent and strips cells from lining of intestines. Please google and comment on that.
@sandy brown - does this mean it is not good for the body?
Maybe as an additive, especially from gmo soy. But not if it's in the food naturally, such as eggs.
@@amyhoang9140 from Dr Stephen Lustig. He was not certain, he said it was new research that said it was damaging.
We need to know because soy lecithin, / emulsifyers are added to many things, including spray oils, milk powder.
@@alrivers2297 yes, the natural food should be fine, as Dr berg told us.
I did find an article about that research at the time. Cant see it now.
Can u put lecthin granules in smoothies or will it taste nasty?
Doesn't phosphatidylcholine acid come from sunflower lecithin? Is that why it's used as liposomes in liposomal vitamins as it's like a natural lipid for cells?
Dr. Berg is Sunflower Lecithin powder okay or is it also a soy?
Sunflower is not soy. So yes it is okay
I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!

Sunflower seeds are a good source. Then you also get Vitamin E too.
