Just to let you know Dr. Berg, my husband's sugar was up at 7.0 in March. He followed your Keto diet and Intermittent fasting and he has lost over 60 lbs in three months and his sugar is back in the normal ranges. You are a blessing to many people. Thank you.
Forgot to mention that it has to be consumed alongside the black pepper. Otherwise the liver metabolism rate of cucumin is so fast the body won't be able to absorb it all. Back pepper increases its absorption by 2k%.
Freshly Ground black pepper or the active ingredient, piperine, oxidates and then it's less effective. 👍👍 Been using it for years. Only way it works well. Amazing. Never be muscle sore again, even after Intense workouts!🏃🧗🏋️🤸
Thank you for explaining this. I have an intense dislike of turmeric, unless it's balanced with black pepper, and I always thought it was a taste thing.
Yes. The active ingredient of turmeric (curcumin) is best consumed with the active ingredient of pepper (Pipen). Also I heard (maybe Dr Berg) that a little heat enhances even that. So: in practice do this. Two teaspoons of turmeric, a quarter teaspoon of ground black pepper, enough olive olive oil (yes it is fat soluble, and yes you could use butter etc) to dissolve this some gentle heating. Bingo! Dr Berg, Sina Aramyan ... a stupidly fast and effective anti inflammatory.
I started using tumeric about 3 months ago. I have Crohn's Disease and haven't had to take Budesimide during that time. During this time, I started using quite a few of the ingredients you have suggested for weight loss. To date, I have lost 29 pounds, with 30 more to go. I am working on freeing myself from prescription pills with other suggestions you have made. I also cut sugar out of my life, with the occasional treat every 30 days or so. Other than being 72 years old, I love the way my body is responding. Thanks a ton and keep the videos coming!!!!!
Actually, I take my Tumeric mixed with Ginger and black Pepper Powders, mixed into yoghurt with a little bit of lemon juice, rosemary and oregano powder, fresh Garlic and Olive Oil : it provides a lot of energy and it is quite awakening.
@@MJafro My pleasure. My recipe is : 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of Tumeric (I use Sevenhills Wholefoods Organic Tumeric Powder = excellent quality. Very reddish, It smells a little bit like butter !) + 1 teaspoon of Ginger Powder + 1/2 teaspoon of Black Paper Powder + Greek Yoghurt (up to you to choose the quantity) + 1/2 or 1 lemon juice + 1 to 2 Teaspoons of Ground Rosemary + 1 teaspoon of Ground Oregano Powder + 1 to 2 Fresh Garlic cloves depending on the size (slices it in very small dices) + about 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Oil. If you can tolerate it, you may add a just a little bit of fresh chilly (very small slices without the seeds). I precise that the purpose of this recipe is to reduce Brain Fog. It helps and I love it (actually, I am addicted to it !). As you may already know it, Oil and Black Pepper will increase the absorption Tumeric inside your body.
I sure do appreciate you!!! None of my doctors I've seen in the past several years have given me ANY SOUND ADVICE LIKE YOU HAVE!!!! People seem to settle for a doctor near them and take whatever they dish out... I will not be jeopardized with chemicals!!!! The whole world is full of that already! You are deeply loved and honored! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!
I swear you are a legend. I have been thinking about this this morning and thought TH-cam suggestion are on another level reading our brains, but it is actually a new video haha!
I’m from India. And turmeric is everywhere n our culture! Starting from Applying at our house entrances, to our legs and hands, using in every Curry or every dish (except Few sweets). Drinking turmeric water/ turmeric milk. India produces 75-80% of turmeric ti the world!
I suffer from fibromyalgia and every day I take a pill of 2,500 mg turmeric and 10 mg black pepper. It is a life saver for me. I feel so much better. A long with weight training and intermittent fasting 18-6, cutting out sugar, home cooked meals, load of greens and protein every day and a keto diet, my pain, servere headaches and discomfort has diminished to such an extent, that I can hardly believe it. I want to point out that my last meal of the day is at 6pm, then I workout between 10-12 in the mornings and after 18-19 hours, I have my first meal. Never would I have believed it would be possible to lift heavy weights without eating right before, but after a week my body adjusted and I just feel energized and ready to go. Thank you so much Dr. Berg for all of this very helpful content you make. I got into keto and intermittent fasting because of you, and I've never felt better in my body and my mind. Everything we learn about eating all day long, is so wrong. My blood sugar and mood is stable now. I feel like I'm in control of my body. I absolutely love not being hungry all the time - I'm much more calm and feel light and content. I truely believe intermittent fasting is the way to live longer, free of disease and more fulfilled.
Just turned 65 and started taking Turmeric. I am terribly dissatisfied with my current physician, for constantly pushing another pharmaceutical solution for my health issues. I am six feet tall and weigh 170, two high pressure medications, Prevacid for acid reflux and allopurinol for gout. When I ask about getting off the meds he is no help. I have other prescriptions he has written but after reading up on them I declined to take them because of side effects. The pharmaceutical industry is bribing the medical profession to push their poison.
I once have sore throat and doctor gave very large amount of antibiotik, one day i decide to drink turmeric+ginger+saffron coloured rice just 10 ml and i am heal since then no more sore throat💗. I also gave this to my cat when he have a flu/cold just 3 ml for 3 day and resolve it. Dr.berg thx for the information about the gut as too much fiber or less its really help me to arrange for myself and my cat💕🤓
Watch out for pharmacy curcumin! I bought some expensive capsules, they have a strong curcumin smell, but when I opened them and tasted it.. no curcumin taste, actually no taste at all. So I bought an organic one from a trusted brand and ta-da, huuuuge difference in taste and smell! Make sure you buy real curcumin 🙏🏻
My feet became very sensitive to water when i went to india. Many people in that area had same problem. It was painful and when i went to a cold area..almost collapsed with pain. After having drink of turmeric and milk for couple of weeks, the pain reduced . It took another 6 months before it became negligible ( but i gave up turmeric milk after 2 weeks..now drink it occasionally)
A friend of mine had a blood test which showed she had HPV. She did a lot of research and found turmeric with cumin and black pepper. She stated taking it everyday. About a year and a half later, her doctor tested her blood again. The HPV was gone.Her husband also had HPV, but he refused to take turmeric. He got cancer in his tonsils and it spread to his lymph nodes then to his lungs. He died three years afterward,
Before antibiotics became available in rural settings, turmeric was used for various treatment for animals and human beings both. A paste of turmeric with salt used to work wonders as an anti bacterial, to treat wounds, internal injuries. It's heard turmeric helps to boost immunity.
I buy Turmeric root and just bite off a piece in the morning on an empty stomach. Balances out my blood sugar and helps me get rid of gut bloat. Funny tidbit about Turmeric is if you've ever tried to shred it on a grater you know that it stains your fingers orange. But oddly it doesn't stain my teeth when I bite into it. My teeth almost seem to get whiter. That's a head scratcher.
We like to add a teaspoon of this to our minute rice when the water comes to a boil. (Sorry.. no keto here yet.) Our favorite Chinese restaurant serves yellow rice so we looked it up and began adding this spice. Will be looking for more ways to consume it.
Make a paste out of the root .. cut it up and add a little water put it in a blender put a spoonful in a glass of milk it’s so good you will never drink milk again without it.. I know it don’t sound good but it is
THANK YOU! Just started doing Matcha Lattes with Turmeric, Coconut oil, Vanilla & Grass Fed Cream. (Have Hashimoto & IBS). BIG Difference in Mood, energy & happier gut!!! Love coffee but this is really good!
I make golden milk too and it helps you sleep, helps regulate hormones and helps you lose weight. I make mine with coconut milk and sometimes a little almond milk since I find dairy aggravates my gut and immune symptoms. Ginger, turmeric, cinnamon pinch of pepper and stevia or honey. Yum there are many recipes for golden milk on the internet and you can customize it to what you tolerate.
I m.from Malaysia.Planted this turmeric around my garden too.Its really good for many things.Recently I just found out it's superb for rashes. Simply boil it with coconut oil.or other vegetables oil.Apply on the rashes n it works superb !!!
Hai Doctor, I am from🇮🇳 INDIA, I AM JUST LEARNING FROM U R VIDEOS, I HAVEN'T DONE YET ANY EXPERIMENTS, BUT I TRUST YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE SPEAKING TRUTH, THANK YOU🙏 SO MUCH FOR EDUCATING MANY AROUND THE WORLD🌎, 🎩HAT'S OFF 👒
Normally I cooked lemongrass+ginger water put it in the fridge, when need it reheating to about 80 celsius then put 1 tsp Tumeric powder and pinch of black pepper powder.
About side effects, a small number of people experience stomach-ache, and people who are on bloodthinners (warfarin and heparin), should also beware because curcumin also acts as a bloodthinner. And yes the compound piperine in black pepper, increases the absorption of curcumin much better than fats. Actually black pepper increases the absorption of all nutritions from food.
@@damlasu8999 because he has millions of people asking questions and he answers global questions for his entire audience through videos instead of per individual
I learned the hard way that turmeric, like green tea, is a blood thinner. Combine those with aspirin and the potential for nosebleeds is greatly increased. I will add, that in my case, the ER doctor I saw was the one that pointed out that the turmeric (and the tea) was a blood thinner. That’s one of the reasons doctors want you to stop taking supplements prior to surgery. Didn’t help that I had some thin walled blood vessels in my schnozola.
yes a blood thinner you have to be careful. i think it did good things for my wife she had cancer but not sure other than give anecdotal recount of my experiences.
Not true ,been taking tumeric for years since i was little and been taking blood thinner Asprin since past 8 years,never had or have bleeding.. In general Tumeric plant it self is Hot meaning,not spicy but warm in nature,so it will create bit heat in your system..
@@viahttp It is actually a well known and proven fact, that curcumin acts as a bloodthinner, and it is therefore advised that people who are on bloodthinners (such as warfarin and heparin), should be cautious with curcumin. And especially before surgery. I have read a study where they equaled the bloodthinning effects of curcumin with the effect from warfarin, and therefore proposed that curcumin maybe could replace warfarin.
@ESparda A.K.A.悪魔の死神 it's not about him, almost every indian consume turmeric in different forms, I've never seen anyone facing any issues. There are not enough studies relating to turmeric conducted yet
You just confirmed that I am on the right track. I changed my first meal of the day to between 12-3pm over a year ago based on your other videos. My first meal of the day consists of 3 eggs, table spoon each of turmeric, nutritional yeast, MTC oil, olive oil, cheese and garlic or onions, diced veggies depending on what we have and a side of cooked meat. I cook it in a couple of table spoons of bacon grease and go heavy on the course ground pepper and himalayan salt. I am a creature of habit and am ok eating this 7 days a week with a huge glass of ice cold water. I just turned 65 yrs old and I do HIIT sprints or bike work almost every day. I had an appointment with my Doctor last week and told him I wanted off of the statins. He was ok with that and we switched over to Rapatha and I feel better already. I love your videos and I would like to hear your opinion or a video on Rapatha?
Turmeric is also good for mood. People who tend to have mood issues might try a teaspoon of turmeric in a smoothie every morning to set the mood right for the day.
Hey Dr. Berg. I want to let you know that i have followed your advice for over 2 years now and back then I was 210 pounds. Im now 165 and have been for over a year. Thanks for everything. Your the man!
Fresh Tumeric, ginger, star anise, cardoman,rosemary, Moringa leaf, pepper all in a blender...blend then add hot water, sit for 48 hours strain and then keep in fridge....shots away of goodness once a day with fresh lemon
I'm proud to say turmeric (haladi) is Indian origin and we use it seens thousand of years in Indian medication and food. We also have different variants of turmeric in india with vital benifits. Thanks Dr for video
I heard it's very important to mix turmeric with milk. Or at least some oil fat or protein for it to absorb into otherwise the turmeric goes right through your body.
In India, it is turmeric in warm milk after dinner before bed. It is in Ayurveda , it has to be in WARM milk, not cold. My mother used to use this forty years ago for joint knee pain, and it works. Now our science is telling us that it is anti- inflammatory. So please use WARM milk or WARM water.
I found Turman has helped my aches and pain and think it is helping my gut . I have Cucumin with black pepper. I am a nurse . Unable to take pain killers/anti inflammatory with a long history of osteoarthritis post radiotherapy and many cat scans .Took about 3 months to ma
The spies that India and south asia uses are divine , it is so integrated with the food , I use tumeric in many dishes we prepare and is part of food , there is a saying in India , the food should be medicine and medicine be your food
Here's my favorite turmeric drink- boil milk of your choice and while boiling add turmeric, crushed ginger, and pepper. For sweetness i personally use jaggery since im not really tryna lose weight you can add stevia if you want it still works. Also keep in mind you can't boil some of plant based milk see which one works best for you. Dont add too much turmeric it might taste bit bad. I really enjoy this drink everyday
You are right, Dr. Berg. Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory. My Vedanta friends from India, (who have been teaching me how to cook Indian food), tell me that the curcumin in the turmeric becomes potentiated, if black pepper is added to it. Then the active ingredient becomes more readily utilized by the body. Your suggestion about mixing turmeric with coconut oil sounds good. It has some kinds of fatty acids that are good for us. We make chai tea with boiling water, curcumin and black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, cloves. The cinnamon helps with blood sugar control. The ginger helps with settling the stomach. Simmer the spices in water, add a couple teabags, strain the chai tea into cups, and add a little milk. Add a sweetener: I use Stevia instead of sugar, to keep my cup of chai as keto. Many friends don’t know how inflammatory sugar is, and that it should be avoided.
I have a whole bag of curcumin by the health ranger. I should be eating it more often, I regularly have stomach pain. It has been in less pain since fasting
I just started taking Tumiric water after suffering a foot injury ..I walk 10k everyday min. I was in major car accident and had plenty of broken bones and muscle strain..thak you for the upload.
Fresh turmeric and ginger root. Cut off the ends, peel and use a cheese grater over a medium sauce pan with water. Simmer for 10 minutes. I strain it and put it in mason jars. I add some of the pulp to a a jar or two for added benefits. Using fresh cracked pepper added to the tea while simmering and also directly in the mason jar.
Welcome to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. Best turmeric and best cinnamon in the world. It’s spice island. No wonder many European nations conquered this island nation for its spices.
When I donated one of my kidneys, I didn’t realize that I would be asked not to take ibuprofen ever again - I was worried, I had always called it vitamin I. I had been a marathoner and didn’t think I could live without my ibuprofen. I started taking cumin every morning with my eggs and it absolutely worked as well as ibuprofen for my joint aches and pains. I also noticed that my chronic interstitial cystitis went away, I always thought I’d have that struggle forever. I heat up some avocado oil, add my cumin and pepper then all my veggies and eggs. I like the cumin that way, it seems to be grainy and bitter without a light sauté. As always, thank you Dr B!
I have fresh Tumeric in my smoothie of fruit, kale and protein every day and have a lot of energy and feel bright from it and my skin colour is very healthy looking.
I often add chopped up turmeric to my eggs for breakfast and also make green tea and add turmeric to it. So i have been doing it right, naturally woohoo! Is it true that black pepper 'activates' turmeric? Thanks doc!!
I live in Pakistan.... and i have been using such natural remedies to treat my parents since i searched you and dr gundry......i really appreciate your effort....your videos mean a lot to me....and its not easy to do this job without your provided information.....never quit this mission Dr Eric....May Allah bless you.... Thank you...
I have been adding Tumeric, and cracked Black Pepper to my Spinach, Mushooms Bell pepper, 3 cloves Garlic Omelets for years now. I have no toast just the omelet. It hold me until my 4pm dinner. I love these omelets I get creative if I have Broccoli, Lean Meat, (Zucchini, Summer Squash i’ll add basil) I use 1 slice sharp provolone cheese to help give me a fuller satisfying feeling. Tumeric Honey Tea is another Favorite I tend to have in the colder weather late afternoon. Have to add the cracked black pepper. I get creative here as well, add cinnimon, nutmeg, Green tea steep for a good 45 seconds. ALL thanks to Dr. Berg.
I have a massive amount of oxalic acid crystals in my urine so I have to be careful about eating foods high in oxalate. Turmeric is one of those foods. So is black pepper.
Here in uganda and I do recommend people to watch your videos I have benefited ESPECIALLY where you recommend stuff that are natural we have many natural stuff here Please Talk about teeth and calcium how to help teeth etc thank you
please do another video on organ meat.. i found a supplement online that is dried grass feed beef organs.. heart, spleen, liver, kidneys.. and it is amazing! nails, hair darker, better blood circulation, and my hands don't go purple in the cold anymore. also, i found another supplement: NAC to be great, but i don't take it everyday. really helps breathing

It's awesome topic.Thankful dr Berg .Turmuric powder in supermarket, is it ok for drinking?,.Please advise for me dr Berg. Thanks alot dr Berg in advance ❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Been using it along with 6 raw pasture raised eggs and organic cayenne pepper,organic fresh ground black pepper and fresh ground sea salt with a dash of hot sauce...omg raw is the way to go!
I heard it's very important to mix turmeric with milk for it to absorb into. Dr. Berg mentioned eggs and coconut oil, which also might be great. I think it needs an oil or fat to absorb into. Otherwise the tumeric isn't nearly as effective and passes through body
@@Drberg You mentioned it in one of your videos. I’ve been adding black pepper to my eggs ever since, but I prefer cayenne. So I can go back to cayenne now? Lol. I also did your recommendation of eating my eggs with avocados. Great combo 👍
I haven't seen where anyone mention about turmeric ginger and garlic together in the comments section because turmeric ginger and garlic is also good source antioxidant and antibiotic when covid plagued my life in January of 2021 i almost lost my life that's what helped me ...im from jamaica my mom recommend this it works miracle i tell you from that day untill now i consumed it three times per week🙏🏿
Someone should write a book called " Eat to Live". Hint hints. Someone once said to me I wouldn't do anything you suggest and I replied thats ok you don't have to,any thing you eat will be held against you plus you have the right to die.

@@beautymariely I just didn't read every book printed in English or look up every possible title ever made. I own hundreds of books, had copy and pdf. On a wide range of subjects. If I'm ignorant what are you?
You also got to mention the side effects, i get more side effects from turmeric then benefits, it seems pretty hard on the gallbladder and kidneys imo, i get depressed, low libido and sleep issues from turmeric, and right shoulder pain from the gallbladder, so people with gallbladder issues definetly needs to stay away from turmeric, and i definetly got anemic from daily turmeric use, low Copper symtoms and my iron was high on blood test but my ferrertin was low wish doesnt make any sense, it screwed me up
Yes I planted Turmeric last year and got to use the fresh stuff in my cooking for the first time. It is so delicious, easy to use and surprisingly versatile. My image of turmeric was simply connected to curries. But there is so much more and plenty of recipes now on TH-cam. But even if you can’t get fresh turmeric, a good powdered turmeric still has health benefits and is tasty !
i knew that already, but it's good to hear that from someone like you 😊, ... my daily tea contains ginger, lemon, mint and thyme, .... or a frappe which contains ginger, turmeric, black pepper, banana (also sometimes apple, papaya, melon, etc..), red berries (always), honey, water and olive oil, 🤤😋
Dr Berg my hero always directs me to something I bought months ago this time it’s ( turmeric ) lying in the cupboard. Ok I’m going to make me turmeric eggs 🍳
I always have this in my fridge, garlic + ginger + tumeric + olive oil + sea salt all of this blend together, i eat with scramble egg or as a salads dressing or with anything, im addicted to it ☺️
I thinly slice fresh turmeric roots and ginger, put them in 2.5 cups of water, let it boil, simmer gently for 5 minutes and add half teaspoon on honey. It’s an amazing tea and helps any kind of unwell feeling.
@@Eyes0penNoFear around 2 weeks for the 1st time, and around a week for the 2nd time, but I only had fevers for 2 days each, and mild coughs. The only thing uncomfortable was the chest pain, though I got over it by sleeping on my stomach.

It's a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant👍
Yes surprisingly potent, so you should go easy on it. The root is a lot more potent than the leaves, some products are made from either.
Indian herbs are the best❤.
Its not an Indian herb.....the Chinese have been using it for thousands of years. The Indonesian & Malaysian people also.

Funny tidbit about Turmeric is if you've ever tried to shred it on a grater you know that it stains your fingers orange. But oddly it doesn't stain my teeth when I bite into it. My teeth almost seem to get whiter. That's a head scratcher.
Great info. I have an orange cutting board for cutting turmeric. And to think I've been tossing it after making ginger&turmeric tea.
we dont eat in morning because we are fasting homer simpson , dont you remember
We like to add a teaspoon of this to our minute rice when the water comes to a boil. (Sorry.. no keto here yet.) Our favorite Chinese restaurant serves yellow rice so we looked it up and began adding this spice.
Will be looking for more ways to consume it.
I will have to try this. I put it on my chicken ....along with some other spices.
Make a paste out of the root .. cut it up and add a little water put it in a blender put a spoonful in a glass of milk it’s so good you will never drink milk again without it.. I know it don’t sound good but it is
And don’t forget pls TURMERIC IS THE HIGHEST IN OXALATES
I never thought of that. Excellent! Plus pepper goes good on rice and help to absorb the turmeric
The turmeric probably offsets any inflammation resulting from consuming rice so it sounds safe to me. 🤔
THANK YOU! Just started doing Matcha Lattes with Turmeric, Coconut oil, Vanilla & Grass Fed Cream. (Have Hashimoto & IBS). BIG Difference in Mood, energy & happier gut!!! Love coffee but this is really good!
I make golden milk too and it helps you sleep, helps regulate hormones and helps you lose weight. I make mine with coconut milk and sometimes a little almond milk since I find dairy aggravates my gut and immune symptoms. Ginger, turmeric, cinnamon pinch of pepper and stevia or honey. Yum there are many recipes for golden milk on the internet and you can customize it to what you tolerate.
@A Place For Gratitude yes please with the recipes
I m.from Malaysia.Planted this turmeric around my garden too.Its really good for many things.Recently I just found out it's superb for rashes. Simply boil it with coconut oil.or other vegetables oil.Apply on the rashes n it works superb !!!
Hai Doctor, I am from🇮🇳 INDIA, I AM JUST LEARNING FROM U R VIDEOS, I HAVEN'T DONE YET ANY EXPERIMENTS,
BUT I TRUST YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE SPEAKING TRUTH,
THANK YOU🙏 SO MUCH FOR EDUCATING MANY AROUND THE WORLD🌎, 🎩HAT'S OFF 👒
CONGRATULATIONS
Normally I cooked lemongrass+ginger water put it in the fridge, when need it reheating to about 80 celsius then put 1 tsp Tumeric powder and pinch of black pepper powder.
Adding nutritional yeast and mayo to the turmeric egg scramble takes it to the next level. Worth a try!
About side effects, a small number of people experience stomach-ache, and people who are on bloodthinners (warfarin and heparin), should also beware because curcumin also acts as a bloodthinner.
And yes the compound piperine in black pepper, increases the absorption of curcumin much better than fats. Actually black pepper increases the absorption of all nutritions from food.
Turmeric is one of the primary ingredients in Indian cuisine. I have been consuming it since childhood every single day.
Are you currently in the U.S?
Where can I find good Turmeric?
Where do you get yours? Please respond
@@Shellshellzee Do you have any Indian grocery stores nearby?
@Shreyas Lahoti, I'm not sure. But I know a woman who is from India. I can ask her if there is an Indian grocery store where she shops.

It is also very good to treat throat infection and cough. After eating food turmeric helps for digestion. Thanks Dr. Berg for such nice healthy tips.
Blessed to have found you. I share you and your videos daily to people in and around my life☺️
Thank you for sharing!
@@Drberg Dr. Berg... why do not you answer me

I always have nothing more to say about you Dr. Berg but that you are a true GEM. Thank you sooooo much
I learned the hard way that turmeric, like green tea, is a blood thinner. Combine those with aspirin and the potential for nosebleeds is greatly increased.
I will add, that in my case, the ER doctor I saw was the one that pointed out that the turmeric (and the tea) was a blood thinner. That’s one of the reasons doctors want you to stop taking supplements prior to surgery. Didn’t help that I had some thin walled blood vessels in my schnozola.
yes a blood thinner you have to be careful. i think it did good things for my wife she had cancer but not sure other than give anecdotal recount of my experiences.
Not true ,been taking tumeric for years since i was little and been taking blood thinner Asprin since past 8 years,never had or have bleeding.. In general Tumeric plant it self is Hot meaning,not spicy but warm in nature,so it will create bit heat in your system..
@ESparda A.K.A.悪魔の死神 exactly its not a hard line true that it will bleed you,everyone body is diff.. Its the person body.. See
@@viahttp It is actually a well known and proven fact, that curcumin acts as a bloodthinner, and it is therefore advised that people who are on bloodthinners (such as warfarin and heparin), should be cautious with curcumin. And especially before surgery.
I have read a study where they equaled the bloodthinning effects of curcumin with the effect from warfarin, and therefore proposed that curcumin maybe could replace warfarin.
@ESparda A.K.A.悪魔の死神 it's not about him, almost every indian consume turmeric in different forms, I've never seen anyone facing any issues.
There are not enough studies relating to turmeric conducted yet
You just confirmed that I am on the right track. I changed my first meal of the day to between 12-3pm over a year ago based on your other videos. My first meal of the day consists of 3 eggs, table spoon each of turmeric, nutritional yeast, MTC oil, olive oil, cheese and garlic or onions, diced veggies depending on what we have and a side of cooked meat. I cook it in a couple of table spoons of bacon grease and go heavy on the course ground pepper and himalayan salt. I am a creature of habit and am ok eating this 7 days a week with a huge glass of ice cold water. I just turned 65 yrs old and I do HIIT sprints or bike work almost every day. I had an appointment with my Doctor last week and told him I wanted off of the statins. He was ok with that and we switched over to Rapatha and I feel better already. I love your videos and I would like to hear your opinion or a video on Rapatha?
Turmeric is also good for mood. People who tend to have mood issues might try a teaspoon of turmeric in a smoothie every morning to set the mood right for the day.
My elderly dog has some daily. Helps her arthritis.
🧡Black pepper, a small amount, helps with turmeric absorption. Thanks for the video! 🧡
I benefit from every single video Dr. Berg makes.
We even add turmeric leaves into our lentil soups and dals when it is in season. Love the refreshing turmeric flavour.
Hey Dr. Berg. I want to let you know that i have followed your advice for over 2 years now and back then I was 210 pounds. Im now 165 and have been for over a year. Thanks for everything. Your the man!
Fresh Tumeric, ginger, star anise, cardoman,rosemary, Moringa leaf, pepper all in a blender...blend then add hot water, sit for 48 hours strain and then keep in fridge....shots away of goodness once a day with fresh lemon
In Bangladesh, it’s the most important spice in our daily life...
congratulations and we have another lift off...

This is so true. Been using it for years. Helps for calming everything down, I use two tea spoons in water.
Eat it almost daily, could not be without it. Great for skin.
I'm proud to say turmeric (haladi) is Indian origin and we use it seens thousand of years in Indian medication and food. We also have different variants of turmeric in india with vital benifits. Thanks Dr for video
My mother always give me milk with little turmeric.. Every night.. It's really effected 🥛👍
I heard it's very important to mix turmeric with milk. Or at least some oil fat or protein for it to absorb into otherwise the turmeric goes right through your body.
@@SuperJuiceman11
Yes that's right. On the other hand you can eat it with black pepper. This makes it digest into the body.
In India, it is turmeric in warm milk after dinner before bed. It is in Ayurveda , it has to be in WARM milk, not cold. My mother used to use this forty years ago for joint knee pain, and it works. Now our science is telling us that it is anti- inflammatory. So please use WARM milk or WARM water.
@@SuperJuiceman11 better with olive oil black peper and lemon it's more digestable
I found Turman has helped my aches and pain and think it is helping my gut . I have Cucumin with black pepper. I am a nurse . Unable to take pain killers/anti inflammatory with a long history of osteoarthritis post radiotherapy and many cat scans .Took about 3 months to ma
The spies that India and south asia uses are divine , it is so integrated with the food , I use tumeric in many dishes we prepare and is part of food , there is a saying in India , the food should be medicine and medicine be your food
Here's my favorite turmeric drink- boil milk of your choice and while boiling add turmeric, crushed ginger, and pepper. For sweetness i personally use jaggery since im not really tryna lose weight you can add stevia if you want it still works.
Also keep in mind you can't boil some of plant based milk see which one works best for you. Dont add too much turmeric it might taste bit bad. I really enjoy this drink everyday
Add black pepper to strengthen the Curcumin and qualifying effectiveness
Olive oil does, too.
You are right, Dr. Berg. Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory. My Vedanta friends from India, (who have been teaching me how to cook Indian food), tell me that the curcumin in the turmeric becomes potentiated, if black pepper is added to it. Then the active ingredient becomes more readily utilized by the body.
Your suggestion about mixing turmeric with coconut oil sounds good. It has some kinds of fatty acids that are good for us.
We make chai tea with boiling water, curcumin and black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, cloves. The cinnamon helps with blood sugar control. The ginger helps with settling the stomach. Simmer the spices in water, add a couple teabags, strain the chai tea into cups, and add a little milk. Add a sweetener: I use Stevia instead of sugar, to keep my cup of chai as keto. Many friends don’t know how inflammatory sugar is, and that it should be avoided.
I have a whole bag of curcumin by the health ranger. I should be eating it more often, I regularly have stomach pain. It has been in less pain since fasting
Try keto or even better carnivore! It did heal my life-time (40++ years) stomach pain.
I use it in my cooking.
Make a paste out of it.. blend it and add a little water .. put a spoonful in a glass of milk it’s so good.. I do it every night for a year now
Also try zinc carnosine for some time.
I just started taking Tumiric water after suffering a foot injury ..I walk 10k everyday min. I was in major car accident and had plenty of broken bones and muscle strain..thak you for the upload.
Great. Hope it will help you.
I drink turmeric tea everyday, I peel finger size turmeric then boil it with 2 cups of water.
Fresh turmeric and ginger root. Cut off the ends, peel and use a cheese grater over a medium sauce pan with water. Simmer for 10 minutes. I strain it and put it in mason jars. I add some of the pulp to a a jar or two for added benefits.
Using fresh cracked pepper added to the tea while simmering and also directly in the mason jar.
Welcome to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. Best turmeric and best cinnamon in the world. It’s spice island.
No wonder many European nations conquered this island nation for its spices.
When I donated one of my kidneys, I didn’t realize that I would be asked not to take ibuprofen ever again - I was worried, I had always called it vitamin I. I had been a marathoner and didn’t think I could live without my ibuprofen. I started taking cumin every morning with my eggs and it absolutely worked as well as ibuprofen for my joint aches and pains. I also noticed that my chronic interstitial cystitis went away, I always thought I’d have that struggle forever.
I heat up some avocado oil, add my cumin and pepper then all my veggies and eggs. I like the cumin that way, it seems to be grainy and bitter without a light sauté.
As always, thank you Dr B!
what about the Oxalates in turmeric?consuming foods which are high in oxalates can cause kidney stones and how safe it is to eat ?
I have fresh Tumeric in my smoothie of fruit, kale and protein every day and have a lot of energy and feel bright from it and my skin colour is very healthy looking.
I often add chopped up turmeric to my eggs for breakfast and also make green tea and add turmeric to it. So i have been doing it right, naturally woohoo!
Is it true that black pepper 'activates' turmeric? Thanks doc!!
I live in Pakistan....

Thank you...
Cook fish with turmeric... delicious!!!
I have been adding Tumeric, and cracked Black Pepper to my Spinach, Mushooms Bell pepper, 3 cloves Garlic Omelets for years now. I have no toast just the omelet. It hold me until my 4pm dinner. I love these omelets I get creative if I have Broccoli, Lean Meat, (Zucchini, Summer Squash i’ll add basil) I use 1 slice sharp provolone cheese to help give me a fuller satisfying feeling. Tumeric Honey Tea is another Favorite I tend to have in the colder weather late afternoon. Have to add the cracked black pepper. I get creative here as well, add cinnimon, nutmeg, Green tea steep for a good 45 seconds. ALL thanks to Dr. Berg.
I have a massive amount of oxalic acid crystals in my urine so I have to be careful about eating foods high in oxalate. Turmeric is one of those foods. So is black pepper.

In India we can't imagine a dish without turmeric 😉💖
Been using it along with 6 raw pasture raised eggs and organic cayenne pepper,organic fresh ground black pepper and fresh ground sea salt with a dash of hot sauce...omg raw is the way to go!
How much turmeric and how much black pepper you can consume a day. Thank you for your information dr.
I have been doing turmeric eggs and coconut oil for years! Thanks for the conformational video.
I heard it's very important to mix turmeric with milk for it to absorb into. Dr. Berg mentioned eggs and coconut oil, which also might be great. I think it needs an oil or fat to absorb into. Otherwise the tumeric isn't nearly as effective and passes through body
fantastic reference i come to you always over a long periodof time never disapointed .god bless you and much love to all here
You can also take "Piperine" Black Pepper to help the absorption.....
Perine/Black pepper increase the Bio Availability of Curumin up to 200%.ratio of Black pepper with Turmeric 1/10.
Your method for planar fasciitis has me walking normally. i watch all your videos I can find. Thank you for your caring work.
Doesn't it also need to be mixed with pepper. for better absorption?
Yes I have heard this also
Not really.
@@Drberg You mentioned it in one of your videos. I’ve been adding black pepper to my eggs ever since, but I prefer cayenne. So I can go back to cayenne now? Lol. I also did your recommendation of eating my eggs with avocados. Great combo 👍
@@Drberg and salt?Please let me know have lovely day
Pepperine is the compound
I haven't seen where anyone mention about turmeric ginger and garlic together in the comments section because turmeric ginger and garlic is also good source antioxidant and antibiotic when covid plagued my life in January of 2021 i almost lost my life that's what helped me ...im from jamaica my mom recommend this it works miracle
i tell you from that day untill now i consumed it three times per week🙏🏿
The powder stains everything it contacts. A capsule with black pepper added may work better.
the stain is not long lasting tho, usually goes away fairly quickly with time.
That's why you use a spoon.
rinse the cup asap, dont let it sit.
Turmeric saved my life. I had terrible ulcers and without that I don't know what would've happened. It helps for toothacke to! It is God's medicine!
Someone should write a book called " Eat to Live". Hint hints. Someone once said to me I wouldn't do anything you suggest and I replied thats ok you don't have to,any thing you eat will be held against you plus you have the right to die. I'm 72 and I have medacare but I don't use it. Unless I get hit by a car there's not much of a chance I will either. Listen to this doctor, he loves you more than you think because he is giving you this info that will help you to live without being a zombie ,take your life in your own hands so that you have one.
There's a book already with that title. Don't be so IGNORANT!!!
@@beautymariely I just didn't read every book printed in English or look up every possible title ever made. I own hundreds of books, had copy and pdf. On a wide range of subjects. If I'm ignorant what are you?
As a born South Asian, Tumeric was and still is a part of my daily food!
You also got to mention the side effects, i get more side effects from turmeric then benefits, it seems pretty hard on the gallbladder and kidneys imo, i get depressed, low libido and sleep issues from turmeric, and right shoulder pain from the gallbladder, so people with gallbladder issues definetly needs to stay away from turmeric, and i definetly got anemic from daily turmeric use, low Copper symtoms and my iron was high on blood test but my ferrertin was low wish doesnt make any sense, it screwed me up
Following….
Wow!!! If I was a scientist I would want to study you.
Yes I planted Turmeric last year and got to use the fresh stuff in my cooking for the first time. It is so delicious, easy to use and surprisingly versatile. My image of turmeric was simply connected to curries. But there is so much more and plenty of recipes now on TH-cam.
But even if you can’t get fresh turmeric, a good powdered turmeric still has health benefits and is tasty !
Hi this is India food.and part of daily food.
Learned about it in Vietnam, it’s delicious
but the mountain or rice takes away all the benefit from such spices and condiments
i knew that already, but it's good to hear that from someone like you 😊, ... my daily tea contains ginger, lemon, mint and thyme, .... or a frappe which contains ginger, turmeric, black pepper, banana (also sometimes apple, papaya, melon, etc..), red berries (always), honey, water and olive oil, 🤤😋
Dr Berg my hero always directs me to something I bought months ago this time it’s ( turmeric ) lying in the cupboard. Ok I’m going to make me turmeric eggs 🍳
Wonderful advice. Thank you so much Doctor Berg ❤
You should do video like this more often.
Can you do ginger next?
turmeric is better digested with olive oil mixed with ginger
arent they cousins?
I always have this in my fridge, garlic + ginger + tumeric + olive oil + sea salt all of this blend together, i eat with scramble egg or as a salads dressing or with anything, im addicted to it ☺️

You can also ferment it to increase bioavailability, but you need fresh turmeric for that. Black pepper and/or oil will help also.
