Basic chemistry... which I thought was a waste of college credits but has served me so well in life... not to purchase a bunch of snake oil potions, fall for health fear traps, or take anything at face value from pharma, the who, AHA or any other "institution"....
AHA?
@@simmiedavissimmiesings8185 American Heart Association... just as an example.
@@biologistbarlow okay thanks.
I’m sorry but how could basic chemistry make you more qualified to determine what’s best for you over the professional groups of doctors. I get that they often recommend non-optimal options(to make bank), but your chemistry experience allows you to see that???
Very healthy for you to always have alkaline rich foods.
My husband since we met 10 years ago has suffered from gout. All alternative doctors and friends have suggested to drink alkaline water and stop eating meat products. We did that for three years but his worst gout attacks happened in those times, too bad that he would be limping for a whole three weeks. He was prescribed a medication to control the uric acid in his body. When we switched to the keto diet 9 months ago, eating mostly meat products and zero alkaline water, it’s the only thing that has stopped his foot pains. On his last doctor’s visit, his MD told him his uric acid is high but he doesn’t have any pain whatsoever or limping. He did have a mild gout attack on our first month of keto but never had one since then. He’s now gout pain free for a whole 8 months without the medications prescribed. We are very grateful for learning about keto and taking the chance to try it out.
My experience (I used to get gout 8 years ago - now 65) - I was 10 kgs overweight and was eating far too much fructose and carb's. Had mild metabolic syndrome - went on 5&2 diet, stopped all sugar (which is half fructose) orange juice and the like. Lost 10kg's in 10 weeks and since then have gone low carb (and obviously very low sugar - code for fructose) and haven't had gout since (8 years ago). Have been stable weight 74 kgs - no gut- for the last 8 years. Still do 5&2 kind of (intermittent fasting). My recommendation get off all sugar forget the red meat it's a myth.
Uric acid is a natural, endogenous anti-oxidant more efficient than vitamin C. I bet his doctor doesn't know that....
@@patriciawalters6778 What’s your point?
@@eutectoid1 Forget the red meat?
I had gout from 15 to 40 yrs old off and on and was about to go on medication but went to a kinesiologist who said it was an intolerance to the nightshade veggies, stopped them and it went, and never came back...I'm now late 50s and have just gone carnivore, hope I can stick to it, I bave noticed things changing in just 2 weeks.
Thanks Doc, I did wonder about the pH stuff, nice to hear it's bunk, one less thing to worry about!
I have an alkaline water machine, not to move my blood pH, but rather to get the best-tasting purest water. Makes great tea and coffee. Takes out fluoride, chlorine, heavy metals. No need for throwing plastic bottles into recycling. No need to lug around heavy cases of questionable water kept for an unknown time in plastic bottles. Many good reasons for have alkaline water, but not to change my blood pH. When the rest of the neighborhood is on "boil water" orders, I just drink right out of the machine.
Kevin if you have it for purification, it seems that you DON'T have it for alaklinizing. A bit confusing. Why didn't you just buy a water filter that did all you mentioned?
For half that price you could have gotten a really great water filter that would have done the same thing, except that it would have also filtered all the water in your house who your shower wasn't pooring toxic chemicals over your skin. Just saying! You may have bought it earlier before you realized that it didn't do anything. Where do you live that you get neighborhood orders to boil your water? Damn, I was born out in the back foothills (in the south they would probably be like the hollars) where water came to our house from an open ditch with a cyphon hose running from the ditch to the house. We never had boil water orders.
@SplayMnBoss I like the ultra violet whole house systems, and there are a number of them that I have looked at over time. I rent right now so it is not an option, but I know when I travel to places like cabo san lucas where they don't put all the chemicals into the water and it is desalinated my exema goes away super fast.
@SplayMnBoss never tried it? Not sure what it is?
@SplayMnBoss I will look into it.
Did Neisha read my question to you last night Dr B? I used to believe that animal products create an acidic body, that is prone to being inflammatory and cancer friendly. I haven't looked at any other resources to answer this question. I trust your expertise very much and I have been a "student" of healthy eating since I was diagnosed with RA in 2009 and refused to go on methotrexate. I was 53 then. I am 65 now and, in fact, DO NOT have RA, so praise God I have always thought outside the box! I do have bad osteo, though, and knarled, inflamed fingers and wrists and vertebrae. So I was wondering if I was hurting myself I eat primarily red meat, and my inflammation has worsened significantly over this past couple of years., so it was an honest thought. Thank you for addressing it. Love you both - not just because of all you do either. You both are just awesome people ❤☮💜✝️
Hi Linda, your increased inflammation in the last couple of years would most likely be due to the stress we have all been living in. Have you tried any relaxing teas or supplements? (Ashgawanda not good for arthritis)
Consider researching Glucosamine SO4 (Glucosamine sulfate) supplementation effects on Osteoarthritis.
Dr Anna Cabeca ( Keto Green advocate) is a big promoter of this alkaline diet ( for peri and menopausal females) $$$$ Thanks for talking about this Dr Berry, it was super informative and this “alkaline diet” puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on us and our “ pocket books”
The only benefit to so called alkaline diet that Dr. Berry said, you eat more plant based foods=nutrient dense foods
@@arnelarsen4073 plant based diet doesnt necessarily mean nutrient dense diet.
@@arnelarsen4073 Plants are not nutrient dense, well they might be nutrient dense but there are no large double blind randomized studies that show we can break down vegetation small enough to get any nutrients from vegetables. As a matter of fact there is a really good double blind randomized study that just looks at vegetables that shows that we in fact don't get any nutrition from vegetables. They are totally unnecessary. I haven't eaten one in 3 or 4 years at least one I didn't violently throw up, because they do something nasty to my body. They actually have antinutrients in them that are toxic to our bodies. They are also very oxidizing to our system and the reason why we have to take in so much Vitamin C and other antioxidants. Without vegetables I don't need lots of antioxidants in my diet and I don't have to supplement either!

I’m a guitar player, been eating the ‘Proper Human Diet’ (Keto/low-carb) for a year now after watching Dr Berry. Went from size 38 pants to a 32!!
Prior to going KETO, when playing guitar the strings would start to tarnish and rust after about 15-30 minutes of playing. I went through A LOT of guitar strings thinking it was the brand but they all would rust quickly. Over the last year I’ve noticed that this problem has pretty much gone away, and I can play for hours on the same set of strings for weeks without them rusting! I’m convinced my healthy diet has gradually changed my body PH for the better !!
That’s pretty interesting
Hello ! I don't know if it is the pH of your body, or maybe the pH of your sweat 🤔 Or maybe other compounds. My sweat is not the same since I started eating the proper human diet, and many people have said that their body odour (linked to their sweat) has gotten better :)
Hello Dr. Berry! I found your video about "Health Benefits of an Alkaline Diet? What about Alkaline Water?" very interesting and educational. One thing I try to do is take care of my health. I have Epilepsy Seizures which was hereditary from my father's side of the family in which I have both petit mal and grand mal seizures. Also, I have stomach ulcer, acid reflux, and high triglycerides. I take prescription medications for all of these specific conditions. I used to work in a warehouse and ended up having a seizure on the job. My previous neurologist/epileptologist mentioned to me that I was drinking the wrong type of water. This is what was offered at my old job at the time in the warehouse. They either would provide the brands of Dasani, Aquafina, and/or Crystal Geyser. I lived in a different state at the time when my seizure occurred. He told me that a person with Epilepsy Seizures is supposed to drink Alkaline Water or PH balanced water. I moved to a different state back in 2022 and currently do a remote job sitting down as an ESL Teacher and Academic Tutor. I do walk everywhere by exercising just to let you know. I was informed by a medical professional the following things: "Alkaline Water can raise your blood pressure due to it having sodium in it." Some questions I have for you are as follows: Is it true that Alkaline Water has sodium in it? Is it true that Alkaline Water can raise your blood pressure? What do you think is the best type of water for me to drink due to my health condition? The only reason I switched to drinking alkaline water was so that way my seizures would stay under control, have enough electrolytes in my body, and I would stay hydrated. Many times when I have drunk Drinking Water, Purified Drinking Water, or Mountain Spring Water this hasn't kept me hydrated enough. All the seizures I have had previously were mostly because of either me already being dehydrated, having dehydration beforehand, or due to stress. What are your suggestions and recommendations?
Right on, Doc!
I remember several years ago being duped into a presentation on this alkaline water machine, which of course costs thousands of dollars and for which all kinds of claims are made. Knowing a little bit about biochemistry, my first questions was "What happens when this water hits the hydrochloric acid in your stomach?" Crickets.
Lol, yep, crickets every time you say something factual!
And there it is, the value of a little Chemistry, right?! Sadly there's not enough of basic Chemistry knowledge out there in the general populace and that's how they end up victims of these Charlatans and how said Charlatans keep that lie alive and find more victims. It's pretty slick pseudoscience indeed, to the untrained eye. But this is so basic, it's embarrassing for people when they get had. So kudos to Berry for his humble apology. I get it and why he did that. It's a hard blow to take when you realize you got had by some of the absolute worst pseudoscience ever, which is literally easy peasy to debunk, so his delicate approach was perfect.
I will admit I fell for a "bit" of it once upon a time, but quickly realized there was something off about the whole thing. And investigated further and dodged the expensive water machine B.S., and solved some digestive issues at the same time once I learned the truth and went completely in the opposite direction, hehehe. Run away, very far away and fast, in the opposite direction of quacks who spew this nonsense, lol
I bought the machine for the filter .. and I still added a carbon filter… and another filter … I’m not mad at it though. But I have noticed when you drink a higher ph 9.5 it does make you pea like a mother f** compared to when I change the function to normal 7.0.
But hey… 🏌🏽
@@BBoldGaming Yeah, aside from Ph, they are still o.k. in terms of filtering out baddies and heavy metals etc. and better than just a Brita carbon filter. And depending on water quality and piping where you are, that can be super beneficial. I had an R.O. system a cheap one that despite the alkalinity of the water being useless, it still made some of the cleanest nicest water regardless. It's not useless, just the "alkaline" Ph of it, but it is still great water, no question.
My coffee etc. always tasted better with my R.O. water, remineralized of course, cause it stripes the water of literally everything and it was nice water. The only reason I did not replace it and gave up on reverse osmosis, was because I know now that the water quality tests for my area, are some of the cleanest in the whole country, so really, did I need R.O.? I mean, we get out water from a spring fed lake in my city, a very deep one. So I don't really need it and I came to the conclusion it was redundant and unnecessary and did not want to replace the filters anymore as they have got much more expensive. But if I lived in say Toronto, I would certainly employ it again, as people there say their water is horrible. At the very least, these machines make for a very nice quality of water that can filter a lot more than carbon does.
@@MrBilld75 hey man thanks for the detailed answer I appreciate it lol it’s a change from always getting cursed at for questions. In Vegas the water is notoriously bad just had my carbon block come in today actually. Uranium is a big problem out here
Former Respiratory Therapist here. I laugh at the whole alkaline diet movement. Try to explain to people that the kidneys and respiratory system regulate blood pH. Point out that the pH of the stomach will immediately acidify anything you eat or drink. Nope. They don't want to hear it. I've also pointed out that most foods tend to be acidic or close to neutral, and things like lye and bleach are alkaline.
But, what about taking baking soda? My understanding that it helps to digestion 😣
@@lubasulpovar5081 I can't speak to that since I have no experience with it. Getting off sugar and flour cured my reflux.
You have no idea what you are talking about
I do the opposite and take acv every day and my acid reflux is almost non existant. I discovered the keto diet a couple of months ago too and the results a starting to really show, i'm 63 years old and my health has much improved. Thanks Dr Berry for your eye opening videos.
My tap water has a ph of 8. I almost always put lemon juice of AVC in it before I drink it.
People who advocate for the alkaline diet claim that acv and lemon juice somehow has an alkalizing effect on the blood.
Could you please explain I have very bad bile coming up multiple times a day
@@skinskins1863 Dr Berg has many videos on this subject. I'll summarize it the best that I can though. So your stomach acid is supposed to be 1.5 to 2.5 pH. There's a "sensor" in your stomach that measures this. When you have the correct pH, it sends a signal to your esophageal sphincter to close tight, and no acid comes up. When you have too little acid, it sends a signal to open the esophageal sphincter and acid starts to come up into your mouth. A lot of doctors wrongly think that you have too much acidity and give you medications to neutralize the acid or inhibit the proton pump. In reality, you should be taking acidifiers to lower the pH. You can take organic apple cider vinegar, one spoon diluted in a glass of water before each meal and another one before bed. (I recommend using a straw to sip it to save your teeth). Or you could take Betaine HCL tablets, as many as you need until you feel better. I've tried both and got better results with the ACV, but each person is different so try both. You might not get results right away but keep doing it and you'll see it works. One thing to keep in mind though if you take apple cider vinegar it depletes your potassium, so you'll want to increase your potassium intake (just be careful not to take too much). You'll know your potassium went too low when your calves start to cramp up or you get heart palpitations. Don't let this scare you from trying though, I just wanted to let you know what to expect. I used to have the worst acid reflux. The acid coming up wore out my teeth, inflamed all the tissues, etc. I was taking multiple medications which just made it worse and worse until I started taking apple cider vinegar. Now I can eat all the things that used to trigger massive heart burn, like chocolate, mint, tomatoes, etc. Good luck🤗
Neil, What is it you do for acid reflux? Not sure what abc is. Thank you
I was just laughing my way through this video as dr Berry destroys every myths of the alkaline church.
Yes, I've heard many debunks and know a lot about the subject and had no doubt Ken was gonna nail it pretty well. But this was above and beyond and simply one of the most thorough, elegant debunks I've ever seen on the subject. He never missed a beat and nailed all the finer points of digestion, respiration and blood Ph, stomach acid and bicarbonate ions the whole 9 yards. It's very well done he touched on every aspect of the many Ph's of the body and I love that he mentioned how tightly regulated blood Ph is and that diet has no effect on it, that's perfect. He approached exactly like he should.
He's not the last word on this, of course.
alkaline water is better then regular 💯🚫🧢 its alkaline trait helps your body cleanse toxins and fight off growths
I was laughing about how he missed the point with alkaline diet and alkaline water completely 🥲 It’s about alkaline frequency not buffering of acid.
Both give a high pH read but only one concept is antioxidant and promotes cellular health.
Congrats you debunked Essentia bottled water 🤝
@@alkaline_institute I'm just now learning alkalinity and that's the first thing I thought . Your not trying to make your stomach acidity go down
Love your sensibility Dr. Berry. Especially appreciate your honesty and experience as a medical doctor. Thank you 🌼
Brilliant! Thank you for shedding light on this trend.
Many years ago my dad, a medical doctor, told me the same thing. Good bless him. Thanks for refreshing my memory.
Thank you for speaking the truth.
Your a blessing sir.
Thanking God for you, Dr Berry! Helping save lives AND money! 🤗☀️
Rock on, Dr. Berry! My thoughts were the same! Thanks for the links to back up my intuition.
Alkaline diet helps anyway with healing and keep the body alkaline. Yes your stomach is acid to digest foods. When you introduce certain foods the stomach produces certain acids to digest certain food. Alkaline diet is very beneficial to your health still.
Love this. Thank you for making this!
Thanks for expanding our minds with another great video. I can never hear enough from you Doctor Berry.
I loved this information. I recall some of this from biology class in high-school. Really shows the gullibility of so many. It is sad.
I think school education on health is on anything that is not science based at all.
@@KR-jg7gc Biology is a branch of science that deals with living organisms and their vital processes. Not a health class
@@fastestone2 🤦🤦🏿♂️🤦🏻♀️ .. ok .. idk what to say to you cos I don't know what you don't get about my comment.

I am a nurse and so happy that I found you on TH-cam. I am learning so much, Dr Berry. Thank you for having this TH-cam channel. I wish you were my PCP.
A very informative, and needed, clip, Doctor! Thank you!
I really appreciate the clarity of your explanations. It’s truly bracing.
So let me throw a couple anecdotes on here from my own life. I had my gall bladder taken out in 2012 because of an infection. I am an electrician and work outside in the sun a lot, so need to drink quite a bit of water. Since having my gall bladder removed, I get very bad heart burn depending on what I eat. To the point that even bottled spring water would give me heart burn. You can imagine the implications of that considering I'm working out in the sun all day and then don't wanna drink water because of the inevitable heart burn. So through some experimentation I have found out that if I drink alkaline instead of spring water, I don't get heart burn. After a bit of research and thinking about it, I believe it's because I have low stomach acid. Which leads the sphincter in my throat to not close properly or when it should. So the acid can splash up and get into my throat. When I drink regular tap/bottle water, it gets worse because now the acid is less viscous and more easily splashes up into my throat. However drinking alkaline water essentially neutralizes my stomach acid, and I don't get heart burn. I've also experimented with ACV, which after a few days of drinking a tablespoon and working up to 2 tablespoons after dinner, completely made my heartburn go away. The theory behind the ACV is that it raises the acid in my stomach and the natural acidity of the ACV makes the sphincter in my throat close, thus eliminating my hearth burn symptoms.
Thank you for sharing!
I eat low card- keto with periods of fasting. It’s hard enough as is so can’t be bothered worrying about ph!
Nor I. You got it.
And then he mentioned arterial blood draws! Nope, I’m not worrying about my blood pH.
I thoroughly enjoyed this!! Thank you!
Thank you Dr Berry. Another informative video.
SO informative, thank you!!
ABSOLUTELY love this video👍!! I just bought half beef(320lbs) from local farmer because I'm giving the carnivore diet a shot and want higher quality meat. I was raised vegan and LOVE the vegan diet so much only because I never really aquired a taste for meat. However, Everytime in my life I tried to stay vegan my health suffers much. Both my daughter and I have autoimmune and the ONLY way we can live a somewhat normal life is being keto or carnivore. Anyhow, I too bought into that "eat or drink alkaline and become alkaline" so this video was VERY helpful and informative you really addressed it thoroughly. I'm glad my stomach can handle such acidity because my favorite snacks are pickled ANYTHING, raw lemons I drink from a tiny straw so they don't ruin my teeth😂🤣 and pretty much anything sour. Thanks for the info I learned some good stuff here👍😊👍
Thank you Dr. B for presenting truth! Outrageous blessings on you and your family❣️
Excellent video! Thank you!💚
Thank you Dr Berry! Excellent video!
Thanks for making this subject crystal clear! I was one of those uninformed people who bought the PH potions & water machines/test strips! I won't be fooled again!!
I love my ionizerfor everything but drinking! Strong alkaline for cleaning (best glasss cleaner ever) and acid water for wound care. I worked as a construction paramedic and I cleaned wounds Acid water. Every patient reported wound healed really quick
@@arnelarsen4073 So you think alkaline water is a good thing?🤔
Thank you for this informative information.
Thank you again Dr. Berry!
Lol “I’m sorry if I hurt anyone’s feelings”
Gotta love dr berry
Right on the nail! Thanks again, Dr. Berry :)
great advice and commentary - thank you for providing useful and factual information.
Thank you, Dr. Berry. Your advice is very much appreciated.
Any respiratory therapist knows arterial pH numbers. In fact, the RT school which I attended went very deeply into acid-base physiology. This video is a nice reminder of this subject. Thanks, Dr. Berry.
Good information about not being able to increase the alkalinity of your blood through food or water. However I did an alkaline diet and within the first 2 months my LDL cholesterol dropped from 137 to 84, HDL went from 39 to 49 and my blood pressure went from 167/100 to 113/74. Many other things improved within my body and from what I could see through blood tests. I also didn’t get sick during that timeframe which was a year and a half. I honestly don’t even remember my allergies acting up. (So not much mucus was in my body). This is not being mentioned to counter what’s was relayed in this video, but it is just to call out some of the benefits and improvements I saw while on the Alkaline diet. I have been off it for 2 years now and everything that was good is all back to where it was prior to starting the diet. I found myself going back on an alkaline diet the past two weeks and I am already starting to feel better and see improvements in my overall health. I didn’t really eat a super unhealthy diet nor did I consume a bunch of carbs. In fact I was on a low carb diet, but a lot of meat for protein to help with my bodybuilding routine. I think we all have to do what we find works best for our own bodies. An alkaline diet just so happens to be what has proven to work best for me. I wish all of you great health and knowledge is the key to everything in life!
Thank you for the information!!👍🏼👍🏼
One of my best subs ever. Thank you Dr. Berry.
You're Awesome Dr. Berry! Thank you for the information.
You are so knowledgeable Dr. Berry!!!!!
Thank you for reasearching this and for sharing your expertise. Humans absolutely need those precious few who debunk and fact check the misinformation. You have enabled me to turn my health around 180 degrees! Let it shine Dr. Berry.
I haven't heard you spoke of solving an issue instead of attacking others.
I love your presentation.
Easy to understand .
Bravo Dr. Berry!!! You are so right! There’s nothing else to say! Thank you!
Thank you, Dr. Berry.
I had horrible acid reflux when trying to be vegetarian, as soon as I began eating keto and carnivorish, my stomach acid normalized. Haven't had it since. 👍
Thanks for the information I love the way you inform your people
Yes Dr Berry the truth will hurt but it will set us free from all dangers Thank you so much Dr Berry for the great information I really appreciate your hard work sir 🙏🙏
After realizing how much my family was spending on bottled water I invested in a Kangen water ionizer that can produce from 2.5 to 11.5 water simultaneously. Acid water for wound care and disinfecting and oral care, alkaline for fruit and veg soak.
Run it on 9.5 / 4.5 and cross the streams to make the most delicious drinking water along with coffee and tea.
Since getting it I have saved the cost of the machine in bottled water, improved my family's water quality and prevented boatloads of plastic bottles from being needed.
I think the 5k was a good investment in my entire family's health.
5 years on and feeling better at 60 than ever!
That water is no better than Filtered water Sir! That Kangen water is a waste of money for sure!
The very first hour I began drinking Kangen water my chronic bladder infections STOPPED! The minute I go off alkaline water (except at meal time) back they roar.
Sorry! Can’t follow you on this one doc.
YOU ROCK KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !!!
Thank you Dr! I love it when you don’t hold back and dish out the hard truth without holding back.
Thank you Dr Berry !! Wow!! Very helpful clearing out those myths .. and yes.. I've fallen into those myths from doctors a few times over the years.
Excellent video Doc!
I've been drinking lots of lemon water to increase my Ph. Now I know better. Thank you
I've heard of that being helpful with kidney stones. A lady I know that got them regularly hardly ever gets them anymore drinking warm lemon water 1x a day. Not sure though. 🤷♀️
Thats the thing! Dr. Berry is discussing BLOOD PH only. But, different foods DO have an alkalizing/acidifying effect on our digestive system, internal organs and glands via their inherent nutrients. This is why you can test your saliva and urine and find that their PH changes, based on what you ate or drank or even your stress level. So, other bodily fluids certainly ARE affected. 🙂
Lemon water will change the ph of your urine (more alkaline), not your blood. I have been drinking lemon water pretty regularly, one large glass a day at most, since I had a kidney stone several years ago.
@@venividivici4567 Nutrients don't get "destroyed". They get absorbed in the alkaline environment of the small intestine. The acidic stomach breaks down proteins. That's what its purpose mainly is. 🙂
@@venividivici4567 it is not about acidity of the food items. Your stomach is acidic for many reasons, but not to make your food acidic. Once the food leaves stomach there is neutral/alkaline environment in small intestine. Ph of stomach or intestine has nothing to do to acidity of the food that is being absorbed. If you applied your logic that stomach acid somehow destroys the alkalinity of the food how would you have different acidity after the food travels from stomach to intestine. Dr. Berry is also misleading his audience by saying that crap. Besides I have heard several times from him, that inside of your digestive tract is not even inside your body, which is true, so why now he says that acidity of your digestive tract is your acidity?
There are alkalizing minerals that are not and cannot be destroyed/changed by stomach acid like:
Calcium, potassium, magnesium or manganese.
Meat only diet is low in all of them!
Thank you Dr. I love all your vids, full of truths that are thoroughly researched. More importantly, you are not afraid to present them, even though it goes against medical dogma. I think from on, you should add MB after your MD title. It stands for Myth Buster. Has a nice ring to it Dr. Ken Berry MD, MB.
All joking aside. I’m 63, at age 56 needed a pacemaker and bypass surgery from decades of eating the standard American diet. It’s been 6 years on a high healthy fat low carb diet. Never felt better in my life. THANK YOU DR. You are truly one of the best on TH-cam.

thank you Dr great and helpful info
Thank you dr Berry for all this great information.
Dr Berry thanks very informative and plainly explained ,
Thank you sir. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for keeping it real.
Thanks Doc... I was just having a discussion about this.
Wow good video. I learned a lot from a actual doctor. And all of this stuff makes sense. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Dr Berry for sharing this information
Thank you for the information. You also explain the information that is easy for me to understand. I have learned so much from you.
Great video. Would love to see you do a video on parasite cleanses that claim ALL humans that eat meat and seafood have intestinal parasites and subsequently want to sell you a essential oils protocol that costs hundreds of dollars. I love how you link the studies and always encourage people to discover truth for themselves.
Yes ! I would like to know about that. I don't think it was told to me, but I grew up thinking that raw meat/fish was full of parasites and that our ancestors millenia ago were infested with them...
Well, now I know better and, having even eaten ground meat that wasn't fully cooked on several occasions, I never had a problem 🤔🙄
Thank you Dr.Berry for your Great information! Also, I enjoy your sense of humor, like a big ass salad, while you explain the facts.
Thanks Always..I needed the TRUTH..WOW..MUCH LOVE ❤❤❤
Thank you Dr Berry. I really rely on your expertise. Thank for your thoroughness and speaking in a way that is easy to understand.
Thank you so much for the clarification. There are Dr.s out there saying to test your alkaline on a pee strip and drink maca (which they sell) to help balance yourself out. Just eat the proper human diet!!!!
Dr. Berry!!! You are Awesome!!! Thank you Sir!!
Thank you for your intelligent honesty on health and.nutrition. 👍
Excellent information 👍
Thank you 🙏
Dr. Berry … I learned something new today!!! Thank you so very much!!! Well done!!! Me and mine wish you and yours all things great and good; t, be safe, all my best and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas.
I love that Doctor recognizes many MDs are unfamiliar and uncertain of how to treat and manage their patients. I sincerely feel for the medical community as a whole, they simply are clueless. Thank goodness we have Doctor to set us straight!
I'm glad you shared this! I was wondering about this alkaline craze since our stomachs are so acidic, which is necessary for food digestion. It didn't make sense to me.
Thumbs up and subscribed!
dude, dr berrys layin it down & keepin it real! ...i love this guy! ...u are a blessing man, god bless ya doc!
Your so no nonsense!!!! I love it 😁
Love Dr Berry you are so real and so refreshing when you speak the truth. Thank you for educating human beings about what’s true and what is a lie!!!! ❤️🥰😍😊🙃😊
Yep I was one of those people on the alkaline diet. Drinking alkaline water until I decided to listen about Keto Low Carb diet and intermittent fasting. I now am a different person thanks to the doctors that have educated me on this. I will never ever go back. ❤️
I remember Emergency when the Doc over the radio would instruct Gage to use. Ringers lactate with one amp of sodium bicarbonate.. I was in fire rescue and we all would sit around and watch the show being a little critical. They where not far off.
Thanks Dr Berry for the videos🤗. Your are my favorite doctor, I am sorry that can not be your patient😥
This is useful, accurate, science-based information (and there's a lot of the opposite out there, isn't there?). I had a discussion/argument on another social-media forum on this same topic a few months ago (that other forum was Quora), with considerable pushback from some parties psychologically invested in the value of alkalinity. I knew about the breathing/carbon dioxide thing, but not about the other physiological methods.
Thanks, Dr. Berry!!
FWIW, my university degree is in nutritional science, and I prefer the scientific explanation.
Thank you for putting out the truth on this.
Great video! Thank you. What is the best way to get rid of or filter florides and other - not so good for us - things that come in our local tap water. Or is this even an issue? Some of the best water I had as a child tasted amazing and was a well that tapped into a spring 200' below the surface. I have NO idea what was in it - minerals or other things because as far as I know it was never tested. Thank you for all your great content! A fan. :)
Amen. Unless I truly misunderstood physiology & biochemistry the Great Dr. Berry is correct as usual. 😁Cheers Dr. Ginge. Again a thank you I use your videos for teaching all the time.
I always appreciate the truth , Dr. Berry ...👍
Thank you Dr. Berry for all the work you do and for caring and making time to educate us properly. It's obviously a labor of love and I, as well as millions of others appreciate you more than you know.
YES KEEP IT UP
Thank You for your expertise and honesty About this water.👍
Excellent explanation thank you Doctor
Thank you 🙏 for this info. My credit card was right in my hand when I thought 💭 of reaching out to you. Also, transcripts really works to follow you and pause when I need to take notes ♥️
I love you doc!!! Thank you
Thank you!
