I had mucus coming up my throat for 40 years since I was a kid, and I always wondered why. When I contracted covid in 2021, the X-ray showed a mass in my airway the size of a softball and turned out it had a quart of fluid. This cyst was pushing against my right airway to my lung. it actually bent it, and that's what caused the irritation that caused the green phlegm to come up for 40 years. I had the cyst removed 5 months after its discovery. If I didn't catch covid i never would have known this.
Wow! So glad you have relief now. I have also been coughing up mucus since I was a child and no one can figure out why. This gives me hope. It's so uncomfortable. :-(
I’ve lived with the combo platter of throat mucus, Gerd, acid reflux, hiatal hernia and IBS for a since I was in my 30s. 73 now and your tip of drinking water with lemon juice and apple cider vinegar has helped tremendously. My doctors have only prescribed acid blockers which work temporarily and aren’t a solution, perhaps even a detriment. I’m also trying to eat smaller meals with little or no carbs. Thanks, I’m especially enjoying these low cost remedies that actually work.
I had thin water like mucus, post nasal drip, mine coming from bio-film, from living in a house that had mold in the AC/Heat central air system, moved into a new place and could not stop the post nasal drip, mine was white clear post nasal drip, for 2 years I lived with this, it was driving be crazy, wiping my nose all day, this was about 7 yrs ago, I was sent to a Allergy doctor and he could not stop it either, I finally went on line and started searching myself, came across about stop all diary and did that, saw where drink filtered water with half spoon of apple cider vinger with the mother and fresh squeezed lemon juice in the water, made up a pitcher of filtered water every night with 3 large lemons squeezed in it and would cut up the lemon peeling with the white part into the water, put in fridge overnight for next day, as you drink next day add half tsp of the acvinger in each glass, did this for 3 straight weeks, every day, and guess what, after 2 long yrs of a running nose all day, It was completly gone, never to return, And since covid vax virus started with jab shots started, I bought 2 bottles at CVS of the beniodine sore throat gargle, watched a doctor's video about how if you caught the CV, the first day you have the sore throat, start garling with it, it would kill the cv bacteria in the respitory and never get in the chest, this was back in 2020, I still do it now if my throat feels sore at all, its a antesptic, I learned long ago, doctors messed up my immune system with lots of antibotics and presription drugs when I got my nerves and muscles damaged in a car accident.
Do you mean the lemon/vinegar or the actual acid reflux? If it’s the former, I don’t have problems (I add stevia and fresh ginger). If it’s the latter I would see your Dr. A hiatal hernia can cause swallowing issues but it could be something more serious and it would be good to rule that out.
@@LPS-mh8kx i was asking choking on the actual solid food or while eating u have tendency to choke on it. and for hiatal hernia i dont have any sort of pain in abdomen so I dont think its that
Thankyou Dr.Berg!You must be assured that there are thousands of people who benefit from your advice and here in Britain,our health system is crumbling and it is increasingly difficult to see a doctor face to face so your videos are invaluable!
I have severe environmental allergies, Fall being my worst season. This year has been my best year for relief with allergy symptoms. On keto, drinking ACV with lemon juice daily. I also fast, one meal a day, no snacks. Thank you Dr Berg, I’ve never felt better.
REALLY IMPORTANT!!! YOU HAVE TO USE DISTILLED OR BOILED WATER IN A NETI POT!! I'm surprised Dr. Berg did not mention that. It is SO important, there have been rare instances where people have died from infection that spreads to the brain from microorganisms in the water they use. Use distilled water or water that has been boiled for at least 3 minutes and cooled.
It's not Cow's milk that is essentially the problem. It's the Cow that it comes from. There are 100% A2/A2 breeds which produce A2 milk and which does not contain A1 casein. This is precisely why ancient Indians & other ancient civilizations insisted on preserving native cow breeds and to not create hybrids from them.
When you drink milk, especially in USA, you drink milk of 100+ cows, most of them are sick, with cancer and filled with antibiotics and vaccines. Also, USA cows have A1/A2 protein that body cant digest. USA milk causes asthma, schizophrenia etc. Best are Indian cows, they produce only A2.
I digest better Raw milk cheese ,maybe plenty of sort of bacillus give the stuff equilibrium .... keep away from overgrowth ,listeria ect.... makes sense
I found out I was diabetic about a month ago. I have changed my diet, a lot less sugar, and better overall, higher quality food. My mucus and breathing have improved about 80%. So less sugar and fasting helps. Thanks Doc.
Cut ALL sugar and starch. Dr Berg's keto works over time to get rid of diabetes. The lion diet is the fastest, maybe 40 days or less, Dr Jordan, Dr Berry, TH-cam.
Not sure if this works yet (will try later today) but to see this man using his education and experience to help so many random folks struggling on the internet. It’s refreshing and restoring of faith in mankind
Dude I just realized, since I changed my diet to a healthier one, that I haven't had nearly any problem with phlegm anymore. It's crazy because It's only been two weeks, and I just forgot about it. Love your videos man they are really really helping.
I had a productive chest cough for over 3 weeks. After seeing 2 Dr's my condition did not go away. I turned to youtube and found this video on salt. Instead of driving to the jersey shore ,42 miles, I brought the shore to my home. I put 2 oz of table salt in a quart of water and brought it to a boil. I took it off the range and inhaled the vapors for 5 minutes. I did this for 3 times a day. Only after the 4 th treatment iI felt my chest clear up! After the second day my cough went away. Thank you for all your help.
With keto I got rid of candida and excessive mucus. My tongue used to have a white coating all the time. After 5 month of keto...I lost 40 pounds without exercise. I used to have chronic sinusitis, asthma and COPD. Thanks to Berg I controlled allergies and all my respiratory conditions using 0serrapeptase 240SPU (3 times a day), D³, zinc and garlic. Also kimchi juice is great!
@@smendoza7233 If a Medical Doctor wearing a white smock tells someone to take a drug, they'll take it right away without question but it will never fix your problem... if someone NOT wearing a white smock tells them to research and stop eating junk food, they'll delay it as long as possible until they get sick and go back to the Medical Doctor... Why is that ?
@ Haywood Jablomie idk man i wish i knew ..i feel like most people are stuck in a routine a unhealthy one and also we abuse junk food just like drugs it comforts us but makes us sick and ik most docs don’t even care about us
@@cocojackhrt5199 With a loss of 40 pounds over a 5 month period, you normally won't get loose skin. If it's 30 pounds every month WITHOUT weight bearing exercises, then yes there is a potential for loose skin depending on what type of fat you have, different hormone levels, your sex and how big you are to begin with. In general, you'll want to dose your supplementing of the 90 Essential nutrients at 1.25x the recommended dose for at least a month before starting any weight training. Try to NOT focus on cardio, cardio will help you lose Fat but you won't gain muscles and your skin will sag. Nutrify, Exercise, Detoxify.
Omg! Was nearly in tears listening as it felt like the video was talking directly to me and addressing my mucus problem. Got lots of notes and now a plan too. Happy!
As a kid I have been treated for the same issue with injections, pill, red lights therapy and so on. For 10+ years I have accepted I have some kind of allergies. Today i got a nasal saline spray. 5 minutes after the first wash I can feel instant relief and clearing of the airways. Thank you doctor Eric.
Thank you Dr. Berg, I pray you stay healthy and happy. Not everyone will give the education you giving us for free and honest. All the way from East Africa, Tanzania.
I'm amazed because what you explain should be part of THE BASICS in medical studies, and it seems that no doctor ever wants to really address the cause of this so common problem otherwise than with drugs, anti-inflammatories and antibiotics. I have tons of these "little problems" that had never been solved by any doctors until I looked for the causes myself. Allopathic medicine really has to rethink their ways, because people are losing their trust in doctors, and trying to find you own solutions without a certain background can lead people to make the bad choices too. This said, your channel is priceless : thank you for raising awareness and making trustful information available for everyone !
Western doctors didn't used to be these assembly factory workers. This is the product of goverment schools and programs. They used to visit patients instead of beeing stuck in a hospital, know their patients, know their environment and were able to mix traditional remedies with medicine. Right now diet is the biggest killer by far and big pharma is so strong you get things like mandatory experimental drugs without proper testing and zero liability. Basicly we alowed the mix of goverment and corporations to decide what's healthy for us. What vould go wrong??
Its absolutely disgusting how little common sense things doctors explain. Like if youre having stomach issues, do you drink? Too much caffeine? Do elimination diet because its very likely something you’re eating.
i agree... even if they wanted to they would have a hard time hitting the nil on the head with the right treatment... know one knows whats going on bodies more than we do... the key to fixing issues is trying different things until you narrow it down to what helps... many drugs given by doctors only cause other issues..a doctor only spends a few minutes deciding how to treat you..they have hundreds of patients...
JUST TO LET PPL KNOW U CAN PURCHASE 2 tennis balls n put them in a sock n tie a knot in the sock. Use that on neck until that sore spot is found n apply good pressure n lay on the tennis balls ! I’m an aesthetician n we tell ppl this all the time. Also works excellent for relaxation at the base of the skull!!!
I have a friend, who has a massive mucus problem, in the morning coughing after waking up to clear mucus from the top of his lungs. Great info from you doctor, love your channel. Well done.thank you.
Potential causes of constant mucus and how to get rid of mucus: 1. GERD • Take apple cider vinegar or betaine hydrochloride before meals 2. Postnasal drip • Use a neti pot with water and sea salt (for mild cases) • Use a neti pot with water and a small amount of baby shampoo (for more severe cases) • Use a Q-tip to apply a diluted povidone-iodine mixture to the inside of both nostrils and gargle with the rest of the mixture 3. Allergies • Avoid potential environmental triggers • Do intermittent and prolonged fasting • Avoid dairy You can also try a unique acupressure technique that I’ve found works wonders to get rid of mucus-and don't forget to support your immune system. The best ways to support your immune system: 1. Consume more garlic 2. Avoid sugar 3. Take vitamin D 4. Take vitamin C 5. Take zinc 6. Take calcium lactate (for a cough) Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
Kaiser put me on antibiotics every year for over 10 yrs and now I'm living with gut issues, post nasal drip, food allergies and candida. My entire life has been affected. Now I refuse to go back unless I'm dying. Thank you so much Dr Berg! ❤
why on earth would you accept anti biotics for 10 consecutive years? That makes no sense. Youre taking away bacteria from your body that needs bacteria!
@@teletoby7 he says why in the first 30 sec of the video. It kills all the good bacteria too throughout the body including the nose and throat so you end up with a worse bacterial situation then when you started. The good bacteria eat the bad bacteria so when you kill the good bacteria the next time you encounter bad bacteria there is no good bacteria left to eat it. He explains other ways of killing this bad bacteria and of course you have to reintroduce good bacteria back into the body which I am trying to do by drinking kefir and eating sour kraut every day. Hope that helps!
After three years of poor advice from the "experts" we are seeking common sense, honest, thoughtful advice. The world has lost significant levels of trust in the medical profession and institutions. They seem to be driven by profit and self-interest. Thank you Dr Berg for helping us believe again that there are some good doctors out there.
That's not even what common sense is. If it was no1 would be here, including you. Vitamins is common sense. Salt might be common sense. Other household items. But starting to use baby shampoo up your nose, add words no1 uses on the daily, just stop trying. Also, I've learned nothing. But to remind myself to eat garlic before sleeping. And applying pressure to the back of my neck bc that's accessible enough, & in my Comfort already. Will I forget the last part? I'm capable of it!
I'm a heavy smoker who used to have a constant phlegm and saliva problem, my sister recommended to me all sorts of stuff (apple cider vinegar, special teas, etc) i even took cough syrups and other medications, but ultimately i found they only worked for a short time or up until my next smoke and my airways would get all clogged again. What I started doing and what i recommend to others with the same problem is try to learn how to breath properly (sounds simple enough i know but people don't). 1st raise your chin when you breath don't keep it tucked into your neck, 2nd inhale deeply through your nose and exhale from your mouth and 3rd try to hold you breath for as long as you can (like when you were a kid). i did these 3 things and i went from coughing up brown and black goo every morning to being able to run again and having transparent/clear spit. hope my 2 cents could help someone going through this and save you some money
You need to have your lungs & heart checked & stop smoking. One day it's going to catch up to you. I smoked 40 years. I had no symptoms but l was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer Luckily stage 1 so it's curable at this point. Dr said it was 100% from smoking cigarettes. Try to stop with Chantix. That's what l used & was able to stop easily. There is a generic brand out & insurance pays for it. Please stop smoking
I hope you gave up your smoking If not every time you feel like having a smoke eat a green apple and you will lose weight to worked for my late father 50 years ago. Bye
I truly wish that Dr. Berg had his own show. He deserves one. I instantly feel hopeful whenever Dr. Berg speaks. I tried this acupressure technique and it really works.
Love how calmly Dr Berg talks! I can relax and hit replay on the video and reinforce my learning by watching a few times and commit the video to memory!
You can also slow down or speed up the playback speed. Sometimes I'll do that if he TH-camr talks really fast or talks really slow and I can't focus because they're talkin speed for whatever reason. Like Graham Stephan for example, he talks really fast. So I'll slow it down and I can actually take and everything that he's saying.
Dr. Berg, you have just saved a singer. I watched this video 3 times. I am a singer, and I have had huge problems with constant thick phlegm in my throat for several years, and going off dairy for 6 weeks did nothing. I was beginning to be afraid that my singing days were over, because I can 't rely on getting a clear tone out; mucous is constant and abundant. WELL...following your advice for salt water and a neti pot (morning and evening) and then gargling with that salt water, plus using the iodine swabs after, has transformed my singing life. In just 7 days. I know that GERD, which I also have, is still making mischief with mucous, but I'm working on that following your advice as well. I can't believe the difference in just a week. Can't believe it. Oh, I also bought your acupressure tool, as I know that my constant neck issues are contributing as well. THANK YOU!
@NatalieHale that’s great that worked for you, I wonder if this would help even more. When I do the Neti pot I raise my head to mirror level and sniff down the salt water, but I’ll stop it at my throat and spits it out, and I do that after rinsing each nostril. It seems to reach an area that the Neti pot doesn’t reach. The area would be between the nostril and your throat and doing it that way helps when I get a sore throat also.
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg! I literally have a running nose and phlegm all year round and I believe it is mainly because of my seasonal allergies. It’s so irritating and uncomfortable and makes it hard to focus on my studies.
I massaged the back of my neck myself as I was watching this video and it literally made the mucus pass through. I am amazed. I am going to gargle with iodine but I can’t remember the amount of iodine and water. Thank you Dr. Berg😊
Dr. Berg is the best doctor I have even seen. Thank you for bringing truth and sanity back into healthcare. When I found him a few years ago he had 3.5M subscribers. Today he has 8.98M. This would only naturally increase with time as more and more people find his methods works.
@@Drberg dear Dr.Eric Berg DC, I need your help, is there any way I could get in touch with you please ? I have hiatel hernia but I do have this constant mucus after 1 month of terrible cough and taking antibiotics for 7 days, and so far my doctor has not been able to help me, when I went to emergency they asked me to leave since it’s not an emergency
I wanted to add here, in my experience, getting rid of gluten in my diet did it (took 35 years to realize it). No more mucus stuck in my throat or clearing my throat all the time. For me, gluten has a inflammatory effect on my esophagus and digestive system to where what normally runs down the back of your throat, couldn't because of the inflammation. It also caused my nose to run all the time. Couple that with a diet of dairy and it can get miserable (Pizza is a double whammy). Takes a couple days for it to clear up but breathing through your nose and not clearing your throat all the time is worth it. It's an intolerance to gluten, I can eat it, I just choose not to. It's a quality of life type thing.
@Emma Rose - Yes, besides my original post, uncontrollable heartburn all the time with bread/gluten in my diet. Took Prilosec for a long time and that just destroys your digestive system. Finally figured out that the heartburn wasn't caused by too much acid, it's because you tend to not make so much as you get older (yes, they tell you the opposite). So now, I don't do the gluten much, I take the Betaine Hydrochloride every day to keep my acid level in good shape along with a probiotic which keeps you loaded up with good bacteria in your digestive system. Also limit the dairy intake because for me, it creates a lot of mucus. All that coupled together and life is 100% better and no more heartburn except when I get off-track with my diet. No excessive mucus, no clearing of my throat, no coughing, no heartburn or GERD. It's been a very long haul since no one tells you these things (including my parents of whom I inherited this mess), but I have the fix now and I finally feel better.
@Emma Rose It was a long road of learning and figuring out what works. I drink "Core" brand water because the PH level in the water really helps the gut. I take the Hydrochloride once per day in the morning along with 'Enzymedica Digest Gold w/ Probiotics' with food to keep acid levels proper. Between those three things it keeps the heartburn away really well. As for how long it takes to fix, everyone is different. My trial and error went on for years. but now if I was to summarize, I'd say you'd see a nice difference within a week or two. This is all about gut health and having enough acid and good bacteria. Of course everyone is different and this isn't a one-size-fixes all, type thing but it worked for me. Now it's just a daily routine.
@Jacc Jacc We have a local Health-Food Store that carries it's own brands of vitamins & supplements. The Betaine Hydrochloride is just a digestive aid which, I believe, can be found just about anywhere.
i just realized it not too long ago. cuz i had a severe cat allergy and tried to get rid of it. 2 weeks of only plant based diet and no gluten, no sugar, no corn or soy i swear no mucus no coughing everything vanished. but sadly i began to eat gluten again, not much but still it's just not good for me so everytime i eat something i remind myself is this making me feel good or bad so i can condition myself to not like those things. making it a habit can be tricky but as you said it is worth not having to suffer which is why ima start eliminating gluten again. thanks for the reminder and have a blessed life fellow human
Been suffering from a sore throat for years. Doctors diagnosed me with esophagus disease and treated me for gerd but it didn't give me much relief. I bought a saline irrigation machine and started gargling iodine water mixture. My throat feels 100% better. This video has been life changing for my well-being. Can't thank you enough.
@@jonskitch8082 I still get a little bit phlegm in my throat from gerd but the iodine rinse numbs the throat much longer than a chloresceptic so it's much more comfortable throughout the night and I wake up with much less irritation.
@@chadhorak1528 Yeah it helps numbs it. After meals, I would advise you to gargle with warm water - half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of Baking powder. As for Iodine continue to gargle that first thing in the morning and at night. Don't forget apple cider vinegar ( 2 tablespoons in warm water - drink it with a straw)have this 30 minutes before the meal or 1 hour after the meal. Eat light in the evening.
I do pressure points on myself. I tried the point you stated on the back of my neck. Oh my goodness it was very sore. It worked. I've been dealing with this irritable mucus since 2019 and a cough to go with it. I'm so happy I found you. ❤
I had really bad congestion for years and didn’t put a whole lot of thought into it, since making an apple cider vinegar drink every morning first thing, all of my mucus/congestion is gone and noticed my body is digesting much better. Your videos have really helped give a much better understanding of my body and ways I can improve natural good health, you are a giant among men!
I have had mucus in my throat for about a week and could not get it to break up nor come up. I just tried the pressure on the back of my neck procedure and instantly felt the mucus begin to move. Thank you!
Thank you for covering this. Mine gets bad, but my mom’s is so bad she sounds horrible when she talks. People act disgusted, and it really is difficult to listen to. I hope she can improve it, somehow, so she doesn’t have to feel ostracized. Speaking is a huge part of the work she is trained to do, and very good at. She needs her voice heard. As it is, people recoil from it. 😢
Have her do the netti pot or buy a Navage nasal flushing system every day until it’s better then once a week or less. Google if you never heard of it. Good luck to her.
I’m 24 years old and have developed phlegm in the throat a couple years back… I will be trying the apple cider vinegar with water. I would like to mention that I just tried the pressure point on my neck with the help of my wife and it actually worked! (I could feel some consistency breaking up in my throat and going down) thanks!!
Wow found your video by accident. I have constant mucus after every meal, where I have to spit into a tissue. I have also suffered from acid reflux for at least 15 years but have been taking Lansoprazole for the entire time as told by my doctor. I also have a weak epiglottis and often swallow fluids the wrong way and spend a few minutes coughing. The doctors have done nothing else in regard to this. I am from the UK and everything you've just described is what I am suffering from, and the home treatments is the first time I have ever heard in sorting this very annoying problem out. Thank you, I have just subscribed and will check the other videos out. Just want to say thank you.
Good morning from Michigan👋🏽 ever since I was a kid Ive always had sinus/mucus problems 24/7 365, but now that I started the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting all my sinus problems vanished. I was eating homemade kimchi for a while but recently switched to my homemade lemon dill sauerkraut daily and noticed ever since I started eating both kimchi and sauerkraut how big of an impact it has had on my sinuses. Ever time I eat either kimchi or sauerkraut it drains my sinuses throughly… I can breath much better. And on top of that I consume roughly 1/4- 1/2 tsp of sea salt daily and that has done wonders for me also, hardly ever get phlegm in the back of my throat anymore. It has helped my sleep big time too, I used to have trouble falling asleep because I was always so congested, but not anymore 🙌🏽 As always, thanks for your time Doc! Keep up the good work ✊🏽
Underrated comment and quite the accomplishment like getting rid of the sand in your shoe that’s been there for years. I like dill pickles and lemon & dill sauerkraut sounds really good!
I just realized there was a typo in my original comment. I meant to say I consume 1/4-1/2 tsp of sea salt daily… not 1 1/2-2 tsp. I apologize for the typo guys.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Greetings from Serbia where we are the champions of pickled cabbage and veggies (green tomatoes, cauliflower, carrots, small cucumber...) especially in winter, but losing those habits in recent times, unfortunately. There are some good recipes to go with it: sarma (mince meat in cabagge leafs, meat pieces in "ribanac"- which is a shredded pickled cabbage...).
Neither stopped for me by getting rid of carbs, sugars, dairy, fats . I do occasionally use the sinus rinse especially since the pandemic started. A temporary relief. Breathing over a pot of hot steamy water with thyme, sage, rosemary in it helps.
I’ve had similar results since I eliminated carbs in my diet. I’ve been on the carnivore WOE for a few months now and feel fantastic. I no longer dread going to a play or concert and be THAT person constantly clearing their throat.😢
I have been doing this nasal rinse for decades (very little need over the last years). The salinity of the saline needs to be similar to the salinity of your serum. If it is significantly lower or higher, flushing will sting. Also it feels better if the saline is around your body temperature. With this method I have killed chronic sinusitis and ended the need for medical treatment.
I had the same problem and basically cured it by taking bromelain and quercetin. The bromelain really works well dissolving the mucus in my nose. I don’t have much problem with breathing since.
If using a netti pot, be sure to boil the water to kill any pathogens. Also use warm water, not room temperate. Otherwise you could give yourself a brain freeze. A way to determine the correct temp, is to splash some on the inside of your wrist (baby bottle technique). That will help you determine if the water is too hot or cold.
I had constant mucus issue working 28 days on then 28 days off on a ship. I put the cause down to oil mist being sucked into the air fresh supply. These toxins not only caused constant mucus but also immune system response with blisters on the skin. I ended up resigning from my position & after 2 months of no exposure my health has had a major improvement.
Good to hear the thyme works. I just read info re this helping to thin mucus and it was on my list to get today. I was skeptical so thanks for the comment. Trying to thin and clear my excessively thick saliva that’s created sticky, stuck mucus due to my Sjogrens disease and contributing environmental disrupters. I was also thinking of putting in a little spray bottle to use throughout the day.
My daughter has really suffered because of the post nasal drip,that gets really bad at night.I have tried one of the suggestions and I'm soo soo happy with the results.God bless you immensely.Knowledge truly is power! Thanks for sharing it with us in the most simple way.
Years and years of suffering from this and your video popped in at the right time, exactly what I have and will do this immediately. Thank you Dr. Berg
@@Drberg I had my spleen removed 3 years ago and now I have an unbelievable amount of mucus. I train every day this helps but from the moment I wake until training again I am blowing my nose and spitting all the time. I have to take Phenoxymethylpenicillin twice a day for the rest of my life. I cut out meat and have a pescatarian diet this helps as I no longer have acid indigestion but it really is unsightly spitting all the time. My family go crazy at me for this. I shall try all these things do you have any advice for me
I’m happy to hear someone point out that acid reflux is not always hyper-acidity and more often, especially with age, can be caused by low acidity. As we age, the acid in our stomachs more often weaken, than getting higher. People ask me how low acid can cause the heartburn? Well, if your stomach acid becomes low, the stomach digests slower. That can cause your meals to pile up. Your stomach will not release the food until it is completely liquified. That can cause your lunch to pile into your stomach when breakfast is still there. If that continues, then the food will back up into the esophagus where the mucus lining is thinner and has less protection from the stomach acid, so it burns in your throat. So many doctors would always write scripts for proton pump inhibitors for people with heartburn. If their actual problem is low acid, this can only make things worse. Proton pump inhibitors are not meant to be on indefinitely. It’s supposed to be for two weeks and then two weeks off. When people take them constantly, they will often lose the ability to absorb vitamin B12, which can lead to anemia and other problems. Stomach acid has to be pretty strong in order for the intrinsic factor to bind to the B12 in order to protect it from the stomach acid. If the intrinsic factor doesn’t bind to vitamin B12, your body can’t absorb the B12. At that point, it doesn’t matter how much B12 is in your diet and even taking B12 supplements can’t work if the intrinsic factor can’t bind to the B12 because your stomach acid is too weak. Taking a small amount of Apple Cider Vinegar is a good idea for those with low stomach acid. That was good advice he gave. Also eating fermented foods, like fermented pickles or sauerkraut with meals can also help with digestion and preventing GERD caused by low acid. I liked a lot of your advice. Candida is a big problem because of the high amount of starch and sugar in the American diet.
True! I was prescribed Nexium for over 15 years due to "atypical acid reflux" which seemed counterintuitive, but without Nexium I'd vomit and have to take phenergan then spend the day in bed. Thankfully my gastroenterologist learned to do the TIF procedure. Had it done and I've been off all antacid meds for over 5 years. Unfortunately, I think I've torn one or more of the cleats loose due to overeating at a holiday meal last year, but no digestive issues have resulted. I've learned that many people need a repair within a few years. I'm not looking forward to it. But probably should have the doc take a look.
Suffered 10yrs because of Gerd with underlying symptoms of low acidity. Intermittent fasting 16-8, and apple cider with lemon before a meal really helped.
Dr. Berg has saved me on countless occasions with his videos. I have been on keto since 2014. Recently I strayed and went back to SAD. My new partner eats the SAD diet. I have been so sick and I had to emergently go back on keto. I am getting better but will not be going back to processed industrial foods.
I used the acupressure technique and it worked. I don’t have a sore throat but the tickling of my throat made me want to release the phlegm out. Within a minute or so, I started sneezing. I did feel better but the tickling returned. Will continue to practice the acupressure exercises. Thank you for the video
I had a duodenal ulcer. I got an old book on it out if the library. I self diagnosed and took betaine hydrochloride. I saw a specialist here in uk and an endoscope. He said you did right I had cured the ulcer myself. He said it's true most doctors diagnose high acid when actually is LOW acid. And prescribe anti acids when it's wrong.. Simply because it's too expensive to do acid tests. Take note people ... I got this info about acid from a blog tears ago of an American woman. Gee did that help me
In GERD, how does adding more acid solve the problem of the valve not closing and the acid coming up? I’m sorry but I’m not going to pour vinegar into my esophagus.
Excellent info!! Systemic Sjogrens here and the excessive mucus from not producing saliva has created many problems including infections, lung congestion, parotid problems and now breathing issues. This is the info I’ve needed that no one seems to join the dots. Thank you 🙏
You are fantastic. I’ve been suffering from chronic throat clearing for years. Allopathic medicine just gave me acid blockers. Going to try everything you’ve said in this video.
Hi, doc, I downloaded your video yesterday and used your acupuncture technique, and got the phylum controlled. I used to have that much sore throat that I needed water, a lot of it while eating and that was the case for 6 months. It went away today after just massaging my spine. Thank you very much. There are needed to be more doctors like you who know how things work out without medicine. I have been doing workouts and was always out breathing I would see tomorrow how it goes; it has been 5 hours since I massaged my neck and I am going to sleep now. Thanks again.
This video helped me realize what is going on with my disabled Rottweiler puppy. I now think he has GERD, which is manageable. Our vet was at a loss, and we thought we were going to lose him. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
i had 24/7 throat clearing and constant post nasal drip for years and problems with gerd. always misdiagnosed and nothing ever worked. finally came across an allergist who suggested i try stopping dairy. my symptoms all disappeared nearly overnight. it turned out i had a milk allergy. every day i ate cereal with milk, coffee and milk, butter, cheese, yogurts. never put it together and suffered for years and went through numerous prescription antiacids with no relief. who knew?
I’m not making this up but I was struggling with this mucus build up on my throat and as suggested in this video by Dr.Berg, I gently pressed back or nape of my neck and that heavy feeling of mucus which I’ve is gone 😮bloddy magic ! Thanks 🙏 a lot Dr.Berg🙏from India 🇮🇳
All I can say is, "thanks". After being diagnosed with a very advanced case of SLL/CLL many years ago, I did a lot of "research". Garlic is a top choice (no more vampire problems). Turmeric is perhaps the most beneficial herb (root) on the planet. Please, keep putting out the good word on nutritional approaches to common (or not so common) ailments.
Thanks Dr Berg, holding the back of the neck for 2 minutes by pressing with two fingers directly opposite the front of throat where the mucous is worked perfectly and instantly. The mucous broke up and I was easily able to remove it. I did it myself.
I have chronic sinus problems that have improved for the first time ever since I started taking Zinc. Prior to taking Zinc, I was fortunate not to get sinus infections anymore but I used to get them every 3 months. That being said, I am constantly congested, and strangely, when I eat chocolate and some other foods, I get chest congestion/mucus that I have to expel within a minute or two. I have never found an explanation for this. Note: I live in the Philly suburbs (high mold area) and have hashimoto's thyroid disease. I don't get sick anymore-I haven't been sick in years. I have never had the flu or covid, despite 30+ direct exposures. I take Vitamin B1, B6, C, D3, and Zinc everyday
@@robertcompton5232 thank you for getting back to me. Is there 1 form of zinc or is there anything 1 needs to look out for when purchasing Zinc? Please advise
@@kaylaramos6941 try picolinate, I think it’s one of the best forms. Unless directed by a dr. I would take the lower amount that is offered. Woman only need 8 and men 11 mg. Swanson makes a 22mg picolinate that agrees with me. Taking too much zinc depletes copper. Any cold drops, etc upset my stomach.
I have chronic rhinitis that has me constantly sniffling and clearing my throat. I would love to hear your thoughts on chronic rhinitis! Thank you, Dr. Berg!
@ Outback Wack I had it for years, spent hundreds and nothing worked! A friend told me to take a Alfalfa Supplement and drink Mullein tea! It worked!!! 🎊🎊🎊 Oh yeah...I also took a Mullein Supplement and no sugar or carbs for a few weeks while taking it! 😉
did you try food diets? i had the same problem and it turned out to be a milk allergy. try cutting out the 5 most common allergens from your diet and see if it fixes it. if not, then you know its not a food allergy. very easy and cheap test to do yourself.
Love this! My husband constantly has drainage due to allergies, and also has a partially deviated septum. He clears his throat all the time. He uses a navage frequently to help, takes your digestive enzymes, and takes probiotics, too. Thanks!
Gerd ruined my vocal chords in 2008, I was on meds for years now I take three apple cider vinegar tablets morning and night and have NEVER had gerd since, thank you Dr. Berg
@@Zoe_Europe It has improved, intermittent fasting is the solution for me because eating agreveates my vocal chords, if I do eat I I feel the need to clear my throat every 10 seconds for around 30 mins but that can last Longer, this leaves me exhausted and irritated, I have a four hour eating window from 7pm to 11pm, in this window I do not make phonecalls or socialise, I'm so happy how the apple cider vinegar tablets have completely stopped my acid reflux/gerd
@@michaelmashup452 I have had a problem with STOMACH mucus for 9 years. I have had EVERYTHING examined and although the digestive doctors think that phlegm coming up from the stomach sounds like science fiction (they are used to the acid burning issue), the truth is that it is something that happens to thousands of people. In my case, it is also guaranteed that it does not come from anywhere else, as I have had x-rays of my sinuses and lungs and everything is clean. You take apple cider vinegar. I have it here and it is also ecological and of very good quality but... have you really got better? I've tried it but it doesn't agree with me so I take lemon. Everything you tell me is appreciated and forgive me if there are any spelling mistakes. I am writing to you from Spain and although I speak English I find it less difficult to write using a translator. So you only eat between those hours and you don't eat any more all day? Thank you
@@Zoe_Europe My gerd has completely gone the apple cider vinegars tablets are the only option for me even as a vinegar lover I find it repulsive, I cannot drink it first thing in the morning and would forget to take it in the evening, the four hour eating window is perfect for me feeling energised and focused through the day, I follow Dr bergs plan and have lost 9 stone/126 pounds
Thank you Dr. Berg, my dad is dealing with GERD related issues right now and this helps me explain the issue to him better so that he can start looking at the underlying causes also !!
I just tried the trick with the fingers behind the neck, because the phlegm is concentrated in my throat. It was a fast experiment done by myself, while watching your video. It works!!! Immediately felt the phlegm moving, awesome! Thank you Dr. Berg! I am watching ALL your videos and learned a lot for issues i had ignorance of, for years. Thanx again.
Good Morning , Dr.Berg ☕ I sure do appreciate you ! Thank you so much sharing this great advice with everybody , May God continue to bless you all , Take care 💜 🙏 12 / 5 / 2022 🙏
Hey Dr. Eric Berg, I just want to thank you so much for helping people through your education and the kindness of your heart. I hope everyone is doing well and keeping healthy ❤
@@Drberg Dr Berg, what happens if GERD does NOT react or gets worse with HCI or ACV, I mean if the person has a HIatal Hernia? I took your advice years ago and had acid from hell and so had to go back on the PPI meds, whats the answer or possible one to stubborn GERD that doesn't get fixed with acid?
I have had constant sinus troubles. Real sick of it. I use distilled water and food grade hydrogen peroxide. I put it into a nose spray bottle. I used it when I was sinusey then when it's cleared up I still use the spray now and then but that had been a life saver for me. Lots of DIY recipes on you tube!
Thank you Dr Eric Berg once again for your amazing information. I have had acid reflux for years also have digestive issues and until I found you I had no idea that they could be related. Now I know and it makes so much sense. You are my go to for health 🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏
Baby shampoo was amazing! I have gone through so many boxes of kleenex until I did the salt rinse and then when I added the baby shampoo, I am unbelievably clear!
FYI: If performing a nasal rinse, please be aware that some water sources may contain things that shouldn't be in your nasal passages. It is recommended to boil tap water and LET IT COOL TO A COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURE BEFORE USING. I always have distilled water on hand and use that. Resources regarding the reason is available online. (^.^)
This is so true. It is actually dangerous to not emphasize the correct type of water ( boiled or distilled). Hopefully people will read comments like yours.
Tap water has fluoride, which is toxic, and I have read that it gets even more concentrated when you boil it. May be tap water is not the best option at all.
Thank you from my heart for all your great work, dr Berg 🙏❤️🌹 Never ever quit your important work here on YT. You have people from all over the world benefiting from it and also appreciating the enormous gift you are to all of us ❤️
Between you, Dr Berg and Motivational Doc, I have found natural solutions and helpful information for every health concern, question or interest I have had. Thank you for the awesome channel! I’ve taken your supplements as well! 👍🏼
We as intelligent folk need to apply what this man is freely offering us in his multiple vids. I have to admit being born with a heart valve defect I've managed to live a ailment free life even with having multiple substance addictions. I had a damaged liver after the abuse and have treated it with this man's knowledge. All my numbers are normal including enzymes in my liver and my blood pressure and creatine. If folks do not listen to this man with all the information he has provided freely I have no sympathy for. He doesn't do these videos because he doesn't love to help people. My hat is off to this gentleman. Let's all who feel his natural methods continue to apply and tell the world
The underlying cause of mucus in the throat (which in my case was thick and lasted for years) is linked to an infection in the body. The mucus usually develops for years in the nasal cavities and becomes very hard to eliminate. If it's thick, it has the cause in some sort of infection in the body, and also probably in the dental areas of the upper teeth (root canal maybe). The solution has to do with eliminating the inflammation in the body (related to dental infections, infection in the body, stress, sleep, diet, microbiome, exercise, mental state, yoga, movement, posture, spine health, and also other causes maybe). Cleaning and washing the sinuses using a Neti pot is the BEST way to relieve the mucus problem until you heal the inflammation in the body. Once you heal the cause, the inflammation will be gone and the mucus will disappear.
I really liked the Neti pot. However I have a deviated septum, and after using the Neti Pot it could be five, six, hours later and I would be out in public somewhere and water would just push out of my nose. It was too embarrassing, I had to stop using it.
I have post nasal drip and sinus pressure for years since removing large polyp in my maxillary and living in an area of burn pits and waste treatment for 9 months. I would love to be able to live without it. People that spend time with me notice my breathing and throat clearing
Dr. Berg, your videos are incredibly helpful and transparent. I was doing some health coaching research and I bumped int to your video. Brother, I am glad you have all these topics about health, especially in this day in time. One issue I have been battling since forever is (Mucus) that I feel is postnasal, and it just seeps down my throat and its a (Phlegm) Orquestra up in there. Lol. sorry for the nasty description. Unfortunately, my 32-year-old daughter also suffers from the same. She's like dad, I got this darn issue, thanks to you, in humorous terms of course. But yes, it really sucks! I am going to try your remedy and see what it can do for my issues. Thank you again, for your amazing videos sir! God bless you and keep up these great instructional health videos.
Doc...you have gave me high hopes to recovery...it will be a miracle to find out that my issues are from S.I.B.O. I have thought for a few years that S.I.B.O. was really my problem. I went to a gastrointestinal doctor for symptoms of Ciliacs disease thinking I just had I.B.S. so with that I've had the flem, constipation, bad gas, and bloating for the last 10 years. I've been on a gluten free diet for about the last 6 years and most of my symptoms are gone except for the flem, constipation, gas, and bloating. I went back to the doctor because of these issues. I blew into a machine or tube, and the doctor said I was positive for candida? He gave me antibiotics I took for 7 days. It didn't help my condition. I'm starting your program with the apple cider vinegar, cleaning the nose with the Iodine, and salt. I'm doing the vitamin A, and D as well. Also doing a garlic, and zinc pill. I wanted to ask you about the Betaine Hydrochloride? You said to start with 5 pills and work my way up as far as I can go. I purchased a bottle of those at 790 mg. Is 5 OK to start with at that dose? Also I forgot to mention the most important part to why i want to try your program. the last couple of years I've had some bad acid reflux attacks so it makes total sense in having the S.I.B.O. so this is why I want to try your program on ridding the S.I.B.O.
Thank you Dr. Berg, your videos are much appreciated-for being comprehensive, always explaining the root causes so well and giving reliable and relevant solutions,making us aware of healthier options and less dependent on pills.
Great video ! Actually, being a vocal coach, I have noticed that pressing some points behind of our neck , it really helps to get recovered from the sore throat.. I always say to my students to massage that part of the neck before singing and, in general , few times a day when / if we don't feel well ... Happy to hear this kind advice from such an amazing doctor as you are !!🙏🙏🙏🔝🔝🔝👏👏👏
@@Drberg cld you tell me why when I take steroids and doxycycline I get green flem coming out my nose .Then once I finish them about a month or at most six week it goes away but then the flem I need to cough up that I get antibiotics for comes bck .Realy hope you see this Thnks gonna try these remedies as I’m amputee and it is getting worse
I discovered these acupressure points this fall when I finally caught Covid and had a sinus headache. To passively stimulate these points I take a bandana and roll it into a rope that I can tie around my head, going from the nape of my neck up to the top of my head. Then I take some thin flexible refrigerator magnets (the cheap advertising kind) and tuck them into the space between the bandana and the acupressure points at the nape of the neck. The magnets create an electrical stimulation of the points, eliminating the need to apply pressure. I find that wearing magnets at night causes too much electrical stimulation, and a feeling of anxiety, but wearing these magnets for a few hours during the day had a carry-over effect that lasted all night long to prevent the sinus pain, so I didn't have to wear them while sleeping.

Doctors don't know how to heal people. The medical establishment is there to keep us sick
Me too!
Agree
Me too.
I don't read books anymore. I watch Dr. Berg and read the comments below to educate myself. Thank You All!!!
I had mucus coming up my throat for 40 years since I was a kid, and I always wondered why. When I contracted covid in 2021, the X-ray showed a mass in my airway the size of a softball and turned out it had a quart of fluid. This cyst was pushing against my right airway to my lung. it actually bent it, and that's what caused the irritation that caused the green phlegm to come up for 40 years. I had the cyst removed 5 months after its discovery. If I didn't catch covid i never would have known this.
Blessing In disguised. God is gracious to you.
The other side of the cyst was right against the Aorta artery and the Cyst was around nerves to the lungs and my vocal cords
Thank god for covid!
🤮
Wow! So glad you have relief now. I have also been coughing up mucus since I was a child and no one can figure out why. This gives me hope. It's so uncomfortable. :-(
I’ve lived with the combo platter of throat mucus, Gerd, acid reflux, hiatal hernia and IBS for a since I was in my 30s. 73 now and your tip of drinking water with lemon juice and apple cider vinegar has helped tremendously. My doctors have only prescribed acid blockers which work temporarily and aren’t a solution, perhaps even a detriment. I’m also trying to eat smaller meals with little or no carbs. Thanks, I’m especially enjoying these low cost remedies that actually work.
I have the same problem. I am not sure is low acid or high acid. A very strange condition that makes your life hard.
I had thin water like mucus, post nasal drip, mine coming from bio-film, from living in a house that had mold in the AC/Heat central air system, moved into a new place and could not stop the post nasal drip, mine was white clear post nasal drip, for 2 years I lived with this, it was driving be crazy, wiping my nose all day, this was about 7 yrs ago, I was sent to a Allergy doctor and he could not stop it either, I finally went on line and started searching myself, came across about stop all diary and did that, saw where drink filtered water with half spoon of apple cider vinger with the mother and fresh squeezed lemon juice in the water, made up a pitcher of filtered water every night with 3 large lemons squeezed in it and would cut up the lemon peeling with the white part into the water, put in fridge overnight for next day, as you drink next day add half tsp of the acvinger in each glass, did this for 3 straight weeks, every day, and guess what, after 2 long yrs of a running nose all day, It was completly gone, never to return, And since covid vax virus started with jab shots started, I bought 2 bottles at CVS of the beniodine sore throat gargle, watched a doctor's video about how if you caught the CV, the first day you have the sore throat, start garling with it, it would kill the cv bacteria in the respitory and never get in the chest, this was back in 2020, I still do it now if my throat feels sore at all, its a antesptic, I learned long ago, doctors messed up my immune system with lots of antibotics and presription drugs when I got my nerves and muscles damaged in a car accident.
Does it make u feel like choking on the food beacause it is making me, can u please tell!
Do you mean the lemon/vinegar or the actual acid reflux? If it’s the former, I don’t have problems (I add stevia and fresh ginger). If it’s the latter I would see your Dr. A hiatal hernia can cause swallowing issues but it could be something more serious and it would be good to rule that out.
@@LPS-mh8kx i was asking choking on the actual solid food or while eating u have tendency to choke on it. and for hiatal hernia i dont have any sort of pain in abdomen so I dont think its that
Thankyou Dr.Berg!You must be assured that there are thousands of people who benefit from your advice and here in Britain,our health system is crumbling and it is increasingly difficult to see a doctor face to face so your videos are invaluable!

REALLY IMPORTANT!!! YOU HAVE TO USE DISTILLED OR BOILED WATER IN A NETI POT!! I'm surprised Dr. Berg did not mention that. It is SO important, there have been rare instances where people have died from infection that spreads to the brain from microorganisms in the water they use. Use distilled water or water that has been boiled for at least 3 minutes and cooled.
Spot on!
Yes
I didn’t and it worked for me. Like a charm in a day and a half. I think your point cannot hurt though.
@@suziescrapbook3574please take that warning more seriously. Distilled or boiled IS A MUST.

I quit cow milk 8 years ago and I notice a significant reduction in my mucous production. Well said Dr Berg.
Oddly enough, i get no problem with the organic milk i drink...only when i have it in tea does it make me coughy.
It's not Cow's milk that is essentially the problem. It's the Cow that it comes from. There are 100% A2/A2 breeds which produce A2 milk and which does not contain A1 casein. This is precisely why ancient Indians & other ancient civilizations insisted on preserving native cow breeds and to not create hybrids from them.
When you drink milk, especially in USA, you drink milk of 100+ cows, most of them are sick, with cancer and filled with antibiotics and vaccines. Also, USA cows have A1/A2 protein that body cant digest. USA milk causes asthma, schizophrenia etc. Best are Indian cows, they produce only A2.
I digest better Raw milk cheese ,maybe plenty of sort of bacillus give the stuff equilibrium .... keep away from overgrowth ,listeria ect.... makes sense
Cow milk is evil
I found out I was diabetic about a month ago. I have changed my diet, a lot less sugar, and better overall, higher quality food. My mucus and breathing have improved about 80%. So less sugar and fasting helps. Thanks Doc.
Interesting. I noticed that. The more Sugar I ate the more mucus I produced. I do fasting as well and it helps to notice how food reacts to the body.

I had a productive chest cough for over 3 weeks. After seeing 2 Dr's my condition did not go away. I turned to youtube and found this video on salt. Instead of driving to the jersey shore ,42 miles, I brought the shore to my home. I put 2 oz of table salt in a quart of water and brought it to a boil. I took it off the range and inhaled the vapors for 5 minutes. I did this for 3 times a day. Only after the 4 th treatment iI felt my chest clear up! After the second day my cough went away.

With keto I got rid of candida and excessive mucus. My tongue used to have a white coating all the time. After 5 month of keto...I lost 40 pounds without exercise. I used to have chronic sinusitis, asthma and COPD. Thanks to Berg I controlled allergies and all my respiratory conditions using 0serrapeptase 240SPU (3 times a day), D³, zinc and garlic.

All the way from East Africa, Tanzania.
Very good point|!
I'm amazed because what you explain should be part of THE BASICS in medical studies, and it seems that no doctor ever wants to really address the cause of this so common problem otherwise than with drugs, anti-inflammatories and antibiotics. I have tons of these "little problems" that had never been solved by any doctors until I looked for the causes myself. Allopathic medicine really has to rethink their ways, because people are losing their trust in doctors, and trying to find you own solutions without a certain background can lead people to make the bad choices too. This said, your channel is priceless : thank you for raising awareness and making trustful information available for everyone !
Western doctors didn't used to be these assembly factory workers. This is the product of goverment schools and programs. They used to visit patients instead of beeing stuck in a hospital, know their patients, know their environment and were able to mix traditional remedies with medicine.
Right now diet is the biggest killer by far and big pharma is so strong you get things like mandatory experimental drugs without proper testing and zero liability.
Basicly we alowed the mix of goverment and corporations to decide what's healthy for us. What vould go wrong??
Its absolutely disgusting how little common sense things doctors explain.
Like if youre having stomach issues, do you drink? Too much caffeine? Do elimination diet because its very likely something you’re eating.
i agree... even if they wanted to they would have a hard time hitting the nil on the head with the right treatment... know one knows whats going on bodies more than we do... the key to fixing issues is trying different things until you narrow it down to what helps... many drugs given by doctors only cause other issues..a doctor only spends a few minutes deciding how to treat you..they have hundreds of patients...

-Dr. Berg's Support Team
Potential causes of constant mucus and how to get rid of mucus:
1. GERD
• Take apple cider vinegar or betaine hydrochloride before meals
2. Postnasal drip
• Use a neti pot with water and sea salt (for mild cases)
• Use a neti pot with water and a small amount of baby shampoo (for more severe cases)
• Use a Q-tip to apply a diluted povidone-iodine mixture to the inside of both nostrils and gargle with the rest of the mixture
3. Allergies
• Avoid potential environmental triggers
• Do intermittent and prolonged fasting
• Avoid dairy
You can also try a unique acupressure technique that I’ve found works wonders to get rid of mucus-and don't forget to support your immune system.
The best ways to support your immune system:
1. Consume more garlic
2. Avoid sugar
3. Take vitamin D
4. Take vitamin C
5. Take zinc
6. Take calcium lactate (for a cough)
Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
Thanks heaps Fidell

Wait how did that cause post nasal drip?? I have been on a lot of antibiotics this year and I now have this issue.
why on earth would you accept anti biotics for 10 consecutive years? That makes no sense. Youre taking away bacteria from your body that needs bacteria!
@@teletoby7 For me it was due to smoking.
@@teletoby7 he says why in the first 30 sec of the video. It kills all the good bacteria too throughout the body including the nose and throat so you end up with a worse bacterial situation then when you started. The good bacteria eat the bad bacteria so when you kill the good bacteria the next time you encounter bad bacteria there is no good bacteria left to eat it. He explains other ways of killing this bad bacteria and of course you have to reintroduce good bacteria back into the body which I am trying to do by drinking kefir and eating sour kraut every day. Hope that helps!
Me too!! That’s exactly what I’m going through right now as well !
After three years of poor advice from the "experts" we are seeking common sense, honest, thoughtful advice. The world has lost significant levels of trust in the medical profession and institutions. They seem to be driven by profit and self-interest.
Thank you Dr Berg for helping us believe again that there are some good doctors out there.
Now go get your healthy boosters!
I think Dr. Berg earns his substantial compensation. Curing health problems like he does (has for me).
Qa,
Get the jab.
That's not even what common sense is. If it was no1 would be here, including you. Vitamins is common sense. Salt might be common sense. Other household items. But starting to use baby shampoo up your nose, add words no1 uses on the daily, just stop trying. Also, I've learned nothing. But to remind myself to eat garlic before sleeping. And applying pressure to the back of my neck bc that's accessible enough, & in my Comfort already. Will I forget the last part? I'm capable of it!
I'm a heavy smoker who used to have a constant phlegm and saliva problem, my sister recommended to me all sorts of stuff (apple cider vinegar, special teas, etc) i even took cough syrups and other medications, but ultimately i found they only worked for a short time or up until my next smoke and my airways would get all clogged again. What I started doing and what i recommend to others with the same problem is try to learn how to breath properly (sounds simple enough i know but people don't). 1st raise your chin when you breath don't keep it tucked into your neck, 2nd inhale deeply through your nose and exhale from your mouth and 3rd try to hold you breath for as long as you can (like when you were a kid). i did these 3 things and i went from coughing up brown and black goo every morning to being able to run again and having transparent/clear spit. hope my 2 cents could help someone going through this and save you some money
You need to have your lungs & heart checked & stop smoking. One day it's going to catch up to you. I smoked 40 years. I had no symptoms but l was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer Luckily stage 1 so it's curable at this point. Dr said it was 100% from smoking cigarettes. Try to stop with Chantix. That's what l used & was able to stop easily. There is a generic brand out & insurance pays for it. Please stop smoking
I hope you gave up your smoking If not every time you feel like having a smoke eat a green apple and you will lose weight to worked for my late father 50 years ago. Bye
Stop smoking.
Smoker + black phlegm? Doesn’t sound too good, I recommend you get your lungs checked thoroughly
No sympathy for a smoker
I truly wish that Dr. Berg had his own show. He deserves one. I instantly feel hopeful whenever Dr. Berg speaks. I tried this acupressure technique and it really works.
Love how calmly Dr Berg talks! I can relax and hit replay on the video and reinforce my learning by watching a few times and commit the video to memory!
Calmly

Dr. Berg, you have just saved a singer. I watched this video 3 times. I am a singer, and I have had huge problems with constant thick phlegm in my throat for several years, and going off dairy for 6 weeks did nothing. I was beginning to be afraid that my singing days were over, because I can 't rely on getting a clear tone out; mucous is constant and abundant. WELL...following your advice for salt water and a neti pot (morning and evening) and then gargling with that salt water, plus using the iodine swabs after, has transformed my singing life. In just 7 days. I know that GERD, which I also have, is still making mischief with mucous, but I'm working on that following your advice as well. I can't believe the difference in just a week. Can't believe it. Oh, I also bought your acupressure tool, as I know that my constant neck issues are contributing as well. THANK YOU!
Amazing. Glad the information here helped you. Thanks for your purchase of the massage tool.
😊
@NatalieHale that’s great that worked for you, I wonder if this would help even more. When I do the Neti pot I raise my head to mirror level and sniff down the salt water, but I’ll stop it at my throat and spits it out, and I do that after rinsing each nostril. It seems to reach an area that the Neti pot doesn’t reach. The area would be between the nostril and your throat and doing it that way helps when I get a sore throat also.
@@rrstyles4u Thanks! This sounds like a really good idea. I will try it.
Sounds good to me thanks
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg! I literally have a running nose and phlegm all year round and I believe it is mainly because of my seasonal allergies. It’s so irritating and uncomfortable and makes it hard to focus on my studies.
I was seriously just asking myself this a week ago. I have had upper respiratory mucus all the time for the last 2 years, not an infection. Thank you!
You've described this issue in detail and provided solution in a way that no other person on this platform has done.... well done Dr you are a 🌟
This is GOLD! As an opera singer I know that mucus gets to be a real problem for many of us. I’ll be sharing this info around! ❤
You are absolutely gorgeous.
I massaged the back of my neck myself as I was watching this video and it literally made the mucus pass through. I am amazed. I am going to gargle with iodine but I can’t remember the amount of iodine and water. Thank you Dr. Berg😊
That's great!
Dr. Berg came in with the heavy hitters this episode. 😃
Protect this man at all cause...
Dr. Berg is the best doctor I have even seen. Thank you for bringing truth and sanity back into healthcare. When I found him a few years ago he had 3.5M subscribers. Today he has 8.98M. This would only naturally increase with time as more and more people find his methods works.

@@Drberg dear Dr.Eric Berg DC, I need your help, is there any way I could get in touch with you please ? I have hiatel hernia but I do have this constant mucus after 1 month of terrible cough and taking antibiotics for 7 days, and so far my doctor has not been able to help me, when I went to emergency they asked me to leave since it’s not an emergency
@@iSiberianHusky I did and he prescribed PPI called Luchen plus refluszero which is not helping
I wanted to add here, in my experience, getting rid of gluten in my diet did it (took 35 years to realize it). No more mucus stuck in my throat or clearing my throat all the time. For me, gluten has a inflammatory effect on my esophagus and digestive system to where what normally runs down the back of your throat, couldn't because of the inflammation. It also caused my nose to run all the time. Couple that with a diet of dairy and it can get miserable (Pizza is a double whammy). Takes a couple days for it to clear up but breathing through your nose and not clearing your throat all the time is worth it. It's an intolerance to gluten, I can eat it, I just choose not to. It's a quality of life type thing.
@Emma Rose - Yes, besides my original post, uncontrollable heartburn all the time with bread/gluten in my diet. Took Prilosec for a long time and that just destroys your digestive system. Finally figured out that the heartburn wasn't caused by too much acid, it's because you tend to not make so much as you get older (yes, they tell you the opposite). So now, I don't do the gluten much, I take the Betaine Hydrochloride every day to keep my acid level in good shape along with a probiotic which keeps you loaded up with good bacteria in your digestive system. Also limit the dairy intake because for me, it creates a lot of mucus. All that coupled together and life is 100% better and no more heartburn except when I get off-track with my diet. No excessive mucus, no clearing of my throat, no coughing, no heartburn or GERD. It's been a very long haul since no one tells you these things (including my parents of whom I inherited this mess), but I have the fix now and I finally feel better.
@Emma Rose It was a long road of learning and figuring out what works. I drink "Core" brand water because the PH level in the water really helps the gut. I take the Hydrochloride once per day in the morning along with 'Enzymedica Digest Gold w/ Probiotics' with food to keep acid levels proper. Between those three things it keeps the heartburn away really well. As for how long it takes to fix, everyone is different. My trial and error went on for years. but now if I was to summarize, I'd say you'd see a nice difference within a week or two. This is all about gut health and having enough acid and good bacteria. Of course everyone is different and this isn't a one-size-fixes all, type thing but it worked for me. Now it's just a daily routine.
@Jacc Jacc We have a local Health-Food Store that carries it's own brands of vitamins & supplements. The Betaine Hydrochloride is just a digestive aid which, I believe, can be found just about anywhere.
How about tonsil stones! A big cause of bad breath people don't think about.
i just realized it not too long ago.
cuz i had a severe cat allergy and tried to get rid of it.
2 weeks of only plant based diet and no gluten, no sugar, no corn or soy
i swear no mucus no coughing everything vanished.
but sadly i began to eat gluten again, not much but still it's just not good for me so everytime i eat something i remind myself is this making me feel good or bad so i can condition myself to not like those things.
making it a habit can be tricky but as you said it is worth not having to suffer which is why ima start eliminating gluten again. thanks for the reminder and have a blessed life fellow human
Been suffering from a sore throat for years. Doctors diagnosed me with esophagus disease and treated me for gerd but it didn't give me much relief. I bought a saline irrigation machine and started gargling iodine water mixture. My throat feels 100% better. This video has been life changing for my well-being. Can't thank you enough.
Has your throat cleared?
@@jonskitch8082 I still get a little bit phlegm in my throat from gerd but the iodine rinse numbs the throat much longer than a chloresceptic so it's much more comfortable throughout the night and I wake up with much less irritation.
@@chadhorak1528 Yeah it helps numbs it. After meals, I would advise you to gargle with warm water - half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of Baking powder. As for Iodine continue to gargle that first thing in the morning and at night. Don't forget apple cider vinegar ( 2 tablespoons in warm water - drink it with a straw)have this 30 minutes before the meal or 1 hour after the meal. Eat light in the evening.
I had the same thing. Ended up being an allergy to eggs that is like in everything. Once I stopped egg intake it went away and never came back.
@@RawFitGLOWhow long ago have you given up eggs can I ask please
I do pressure points on myself. I tried the point you stated on the back of my neck. Oh my goodness it was very sore. It worked. I've been dealing with this irritable mucus since 2019 and a cough to go with it. I'm so happy I found you. ❤
I had really bad congestion for years and didn’t put a whole lot of thought into it, since making an apple cider vinegar drink every morning first thing, all of my mucus/congestion is gone and noticed my body is digesting much better.
Your videos have really helped give a much better understanding of my body and ways I can improve natural good health, you are a giant among men!
"The Pepper's" But on the other hand drinking vinegar can burn your throat and mouth. It is very acidic .
If I skip breakfast should I still just take a shot of Apple cider vinegar every morning?
@@obscurelyvague Diluted of course.
Vinegar will make your teeth brown
Very important to dilute the ACV and use a straw to protect your teeth. ACV works well for so many things.
I have had mucus in my throat for about a week and could not get it to break up nor come up. I just tried the pressure on the back of my neck procedure and instantly felt the mucus begin to move. Thank you!
Thank you for covering this. Mine gets bad, but my mom’s is so bad she sounds horrible when she talks. People act disgusted, and it really is difficult to listen to. I hope she can improve it, somehow, so she doesn’t have to feel ostracized. Speaking is a huge part of the work she is trained to do, and very good at. She needs her voice heard. As it is, people recoil from it. 😢
Have her do the netti pot or buy a Navage nasal flushing system every day until it’s better then once a week or less. Google if you never heard of it. Good luck to her.
I’m 24 years old and have developed phlegm in the throat a couple years back… I will be trying the apple cider vinegar with water. I would like to mention that I just tried the pressure point on my neck with the help of my wife and it actually worked! (I could feel some consistency breaking up in my throat and going down) thanks!!
Wow found your video by accident. I have constant mucus after every meal, where I have to spit into a tissue. I have also suffered from acid reflux for at least 15 years but have been taking Lansoprazole for the entire time as told by my doctor. I also have a weak epiglottis and often swallow fluids the wrong way and spend a few minutes coughing. The doctors have done nothing else in regard to this. I am from the UK and everything you've just described is what I am suffering from, and the home treatments is the first time I have ever heard in sorting this very annoying problem out. Thank you, I have just subscribed and will check the other videos out. Just want to say thank you.
Good morning from Michigan👋🏽 ever since I was a kid Ive always had sinus/mucus problems 24/7 365, but now that I started the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting all my sinus problems vanished. I was eating homemade kimchi for a while but recently switched to my homemade lemon dill sauerkraut daily and noticed ever since I started eating both kimchi and sauerkraut how big of an impact it has had on my sinuses. Ever time I eat either kimchi or sauerkraut it drains my sinuses throughly… I can breath much better. And on top of that I consume roughly 1/4- 1/2 tsp of sea salt daily and that has done wonders for me also, hardly ever get phlegm in the back of my throat anymore. It has helped my sleep big time too, I used to have trouble falling asleep because I was always so congested, but not anymore 🙌🏽
As always, thanks for your time Doc!
Keep up the good work ✊🏽
Underrated comment and quite the accomplishment like getting rid of the sand in your shoe that’s been there for years. I like dill pickles and lemon & dill sauerkraut sounds really good!
I just realized there was a typo in my original comment. I meant to say I consume 1/4-1/2 tsp of sea salt daily… not 1 1/2-2 tsp. I apologize for the typo guys.
@@SirKas734 i was thinking that’s a hella lot of salt 🤣
@@SirKas734 you can edit your comment.👍
Thank you for sharing your experience. Greetings from Serbia where we are the champions of pickled cabbage and veggies (green tomatoes, cauliflower, carrots, small cucumber...) especially in winter, but losing those habits in recent times, unfortunately. There are some good recipes to go with it: sarma (mince meat in cabagge leafs, meat pieces in "ribanac"- which is a shredded pickled cabbage...).
I had reflux and post-nasal drip for years. Both stopped within days of eliminating sugars and starches from my diet.
Was it hard ? I’ve been dealing this for 7 years. But sugar is everywhere
Neither stopped for me by getting rid of carbs, sugars, dairy, fats . I do occasionally use the sinus rinse especially since the pandemic started. A temporary relief. Breathing over a pot of hot steamy water with thyme, sage, rosemary in it helps.
I JUST STARTED AGAIN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CHANGED
I’ve had similar results since I eliminated carbs in my diet. I’ve been on the carnivore WOE for a few months now and feel fantastic.
I no longer dread going to a play or concert and be THAT person constantly clearing their throat.😢
Gargle warm salty water with lemon. It works.
i think that works for people with a regular cold but not people with chronic issues like myself.
I have been doing this nasal rinse for decades (very little need over the last years). The salinity of the saline needs to be similar to the salinity of your serum. If it is significantly lower or higher, flushing will sting. Also it feels better if the saline is around your body temperature.
With this method I have killed chronic sinusitis and ended the need for medical treatment.
I had the same problem and basically cured it by taking bromelain and quercetin. The bromelain really works well dissolving the mucus in my nose. I don’t have much problem with breathing since.
How often did you do this for ? I have sinusitis and haven’t found any type of relief .
Alternate with running outside in cold temperature will do the job too
Trust me !🤧
@@evelyndaisy9722 see if you can find something called Respiratory Defense… two tablets twice a day works very well.
Thanks!!
If using a netti pot, be sure to boil the water to kill any pathogens. Also use warm water, not room temperate. Otherwise you could give yourself a brain freeze.
A way to determine the correct temp, is to splash some on the inside of your wrist (baby bottle technique). That will help you determine if the water is too hot or cold.
I had constant mucus issue working 28 days on then 28 days off on a ship. I put the cause down to oil mist being sucked into the air fresh supply. These toxins not only caused constant mucus but also immune system response with blisters on the skin. I ended up resigning from my position & after 2 months of no exposure my health has had a major improvement.
I made some Thyme tea and it worked miraculously!!!
Good to hear the thyme works. I just read info re this helping to thin mucus and it was on my list to get today. I was skeptical so thanks for the comment. Trying to thin and clear my excessively thick saliva that’s created sticky, stuck mucus due to my Sjogrens disease and contributing environmental disrupters. I was also thinking of putting in a little spray bottle to use throughout the day.
My daughter has really suffered because of the post nasal drip,that gets really bad at night.I have tried one of the suggestions and I'm soo soo happy with the results.God bless you immensely.Knowledge truly is power! Thanks for sharing it with us in the most simple way.
Hello Loula
how are you doing today?
Doing good I thank God. 😊
Years and years of suffering from this and your video popped in at the right time, exactly what I have and will do this immediately. Thank you Dr. Berg
Great. Hope the information here will help you.
@@Drberg I had my spleen removed 3 years ago and now I have an unbelievable amount of mucus. I train every day this helps but from the moment I wake until training again I am blowing my nose and spitting all the time. I have to take Phenoxymethylpenicillin twice a day for the rest of my life. I cut out meat and have a pescatarian diet this helps as I no longer have acid indigestion but it really is unsightly spitting all the time. My family go crazy at me for this. I shall try all these things do you have any advice for me
Same here
How have things been since, have you seen improvement?
I’m happy to hear someone point out that acid reflux is not always hyper-acidity and more often, especially with age, can be caused by low acidity. As we age, the acid in our stomachs more often weaken, than getting higher.
People ask me how low acid can cause the heartburn? Well, if your stomach acid becomes low, the stomach digests slower. That can cause your meals to pile up. Your stomach will not release the food until it is completely liquified.
That can cause your lunch to pile into your stomach when breakfast is still there. If that continues, then the food will back up into the esophagus where the mucus lining is thinner and has less protection from the stomach acid, so it burns in your throat.
So many doctors would always write scripts for proton pump inhibitors for people with heartburn. If their actual problem is low acid, this can only make things worse. Proton pump inhibitors are not meant to be on indefinitely. It’s supposed to be for two weeks and then two weeks off. When people take them constantly, they will often lose the ability to absorb vitamin B12, which can lead to anemia and other problems.
Stomach acid has to be pretty strong in order for the intrinsic factor to bind to the B12 in order to protect it from the stomach acid. If the intrinsic factor doesn’t bind to vitamin B12, your body can’t absorb the B12. At that point, it doesn’t matter how much B12 is in your diet and even taking B12 supplements can’t work if the intrinsic factor can’t bind to the B12 because your stomach acid is too weak.
Taking a small amount of Apple Cider Vinegar is a good idea for those with low stomach acid. That was good advice he gave. Also eating fermented foods, like fermented pickles or sauerkraut with meals can also help with digestion and preventing GERD caused by low acid.
I liked a lot of your advice. Candida is a big problem because of the high amount of starch and sugar in the American diet.
I found out that when I stopped eating grains, particularly wheat, my GERD stopped.
True! I was prescribed Nexium for over 15 years due to "atypical acid reflux" which seemed counterintuitive, but without Nexium I'd vomit and have to take phenergan then spend the day in bed.
Thankfully my gastroenterologist learned to do the TIF procedure. Had it done and I've been off all antacid meds for over 5 years.
Unfortunately, I think I've torn one or more of the cleats loose due to overeating at a holiday meal last year, but no digestive issues have resulted. I've learned that many people need a repair within a few years. I'm not looking forward to it. But probably should have the doc take a look.
Suffered 10yrs because of Gerd with underlying symptoms of low acidity.
Intermittent fasting 16-8, and apple cider with lemon before a meal really helped.
Yep was given Zantac ( jet fuel) poison for years lucky not dead from that. recalled long ago after I took for years before the recall.
@@motomyrtle TIF ???
Cleats?????? Torn loose... What???
Dr. Berg has saved me on countless occasions with his videos. I have been on keto since 2014. Recently I strayed and went back to SAD. My new partner eats the SAD diet. I have been so sick and I had to emergently go back on keto. I am getting better but will not be going back to processed industrial foods.
I used the acupressure technique and it worked. I don’t have a sore throat but the tickling of my throat made me want to release the phlegm out. Within a minute or so, I started sneezing. I did feel better but the tickling returned. Will continue to practice the acupressure exercises. Thank you for the video
I had a duodenal ulcer. I got an old book on it out if the library. I self diagnosed and took betaine hydrochloride. I saw a specialist here in uk and an endoscope. He said you did right I had cured the ulcer myself. He said it's true most doctors diagnose high acid when actually is LOW acid. And prescribe anti acids when it's wrong.. Simply because it's too expensive to do acid tests. Take note people ... I got this info about acid from a blog tears ago of an American woman. Gee did that help me
Thank lots!
So, if you have low acid, must you do something for it all the time or can it be treated & cured?
WOW! What a eye opening video, Dr. Berg. The pressure on the back of my neck worked immediately. Thank you for giving us free information.
You're very welcome! Glad you found the video helpful.
In GERD, how does adding more acid solve the problem of the valve not closing and the acid coming up? I’m sorry but I’m not going to pour vinegar into my esophagus.
@@lhcarter I think he is saying that reflux is due to NOT enough acid in your stomach. So adding more acid might help.
Excellent info!! Systemic Sjogrens here and the excessive mucus from not producing saliva has created many problems including infections, lung congestion, parotid problems and now breathing issues. This is the info I’ve needed that no one seems to join the dots. Thank you 🙏
You are fantastic. I’ve been suffering from chronic throat clearing for years. Allopathic medicine just gave me acid blockers. Going to try everything you’ve said in this video.
Hi, doc, I downloaded your video yesterday and used your acupuncture technique, and got the phylum controlled. I used to have that much sore throat that I needed water, a lot of it while eating and that was the case for 6 months.
It went away today after just massaging my spine. Thank you very much. There are needed to be more doctors like you who know how things work out without medicine. I have been doing workouts and was always out breathing I would see tomorrow how it goes; it has been 5 hours since I massaged my neck and I am going to sleep now. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for the tip from MedCram! Love that site, too!!
This video helped me realize what is going on with my disabled Rottweiler puppy. I now think he has GERD, which is manageable. Our vet was at a loss, and we thought we were going to lose him. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

@@DMV8662 not really. They still use much of the same meds and similar processes. Naturopathic is far superior though. It's all about food.

I have chronic sinus problems that have improved for the first time ever since I started taking Zinc. Prior to taking Zinc, I was fortunate not to get sinus infections anymore but I used to get them every 3 months. That being said, I am constantly congested, and strangely, when I eat chocolate and some other foods, I get chest congestion/mucus that I have to expel within a minute or two. I have never found an explanation for this. Note: I live in the Philly suburbs (high mold area) and have hashimoto's thyroid disease. I don't get sick anymore-I haven't been sick in years.

@@Zoe_Europe My gerd has completely gone the apple cider vinegars tablets are the only option for me even as a vinegar lover I find it repulsive, I cannot drink it first thing in the morning and would forget to take it in the evening, the four hour eating window is perfect for me feeling energised and focused through the day, I follow Dr bergs plan and have lost 9 stone/126 pounds
Thank you Dr. Berg, my dad is dealing with GERD related issues right now and this helps me explain the issue to him better so that he can start looking at the underlying causes also !!
I just tried the trick with the fingers behind the neck, because the phlegm is concentrated in my throat. It was a fast experiment done by myself, while watching your video. It works!!! Immediately felt the phlegm moving, awesome! Thank you Dr. Berg! I am watching ALL your videos and learned a lot for issues i had ignorance of, for years. Thanx again.
OMG, I WAS ABLE TO DO THE ACUPUNCTURE THING ON MYSELF AND IT TRUELY DOES WORK. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH DOC

Yes this!!! I’m so glad I saw this! I have constant mucus now and it’s so annoying. :(
Hey Dr. Eric Berg, I just want to thank you so much for helping people through your education and the kindness of your heart. I hope everyone is doing well and keeping healthy ❤
Thank you very much. That's nothing. Happy to help.
@@Drberg Dr Berg, what happens if GERD does NOT react or gets worse with HCI or ACV, I mean if the person has a HIatal Hernia? I took your advice years ago and had acid from hell and so had to go back on the PPI meds, whats the answer or possible one to stubborn GERD that doesn't get fixed with acid?
that's me. can't wait to hear this vid. my friend just told me i'm always clearing my throat, i never noticed before that.
Wow...just used the pressure points on the back of the neck and it really works. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Awesome! Glad it was helpful.

I have had constant sinus troubles. Real sick of it.
I use distilled water and food grade hydrogen peroxide. I put it into a nose spray bottle. I used it when I was sinusey then when it's cleared up I still use the spray now and then but that had been a life saver for me.
Lots of DIY recipes on you tube!
Thank you Dr Eric Berg once again for your amazing information. I have had acid reflux for years also have digestive issues and until I found you I had no idea that they could be related. Now I know and it makes so much sense. You are my go to for health 🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏
Whether or not a fungus develops after a course of antibiotics has a lot to do with how broad spectrum the antibiotic is. 😊
Always good to learn something new

Very nice analysis of throat phlegm !!! Thanks !!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Most welcome! Glad you found it informative!
Yes. Been suffering for over a year of incessant choking, coughing after round of high/severe antibiotics from broken neck. Thx. L
Baby shampoo was amazing! I have gone through so many boxes of kleenex until I did the salt rinse and then when I added the baby shampoo, I am unbelievably clear!
FYI: If performing a nasal rinse, please be aware that some water sources may contain things that shouldn't be in your nasal passages. It is recommended to boil tap water and LET IT COOL TO A COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURE BEFORE USING. I always have distilled water on hand and use that. Resources regarding the reason is available online. (^.^)
This is so true. It is actually dangerous to not emphasize the correct type of water ( boiled or distilled). Hopefully people will read comments like yours.
Yes, I came to say the same thing. I hope he corrects this video to make note of this.
Thank you ❤️
I came here to see if anyone mentioned this important safety note! Thanks for commenting :)
Tap water has fluoride, which is toxic, and I have read that it gets even more concentrated when you boil it. May be tap water is not the best option at all.
Thank you from my heart for all your great work, dr Berg 🙏❤️🌹 Never ever quit your important work here on YT. You have people from all over the world benefiting from it and also appreciating the enormous gift you are to all of us ❤️
Salt water gargle and ACV has helped me within a day. Thank you for such a helpful video
Between you, Dr Berg and Motivational Doc, I have found natural solutions and helpful information for every health concern, question or interest I have had. Thank you for the awesome channel! I’ve taken your supplements as well! 👍🏼
I agree with you two great doctors!!
@J Joy, Amen indeed, same here.♥️Merry Christmas🌲✨💫⭐️🎄
Same here. Dr Berg & Motivational Doc.
We as intelligent folk need to apply what this man is freely offering us in his multiple vids. I have to admit being born with a heart valve defect I've managed to live a ailment free life even with having multiple substance addictions. I had a damaged liver after the abuse and have treated it with this man's knowledge. All my numbers are normal including enzymes in my liver and my blood pressure and creatine. If folks do not listen to this man with all the information he has provided freely I have no sympathy for. He doesn't do these videos because he doesn't love to help people. My hat is off to this gentleman. Let's all who feel his natural methods continue to apply and tell the world
I have trouble with mucus for sometime now and I agree that sugar worsens the problem.
I can't even tell tell you how much I appreciate the information you have shared
The underlying cause of mucus in the throat (which in my case was thick and lasted for years) is linked to an infection in the body. The mucus usually develops for years in the nasal cavities and becomes very hard to eliminate. If it's thick, it has the cause in some sort of infection in the body, and also probably in the dental areas of the upper teeth (root canal maybe). The solution has to do with eliminating the inflammation in the body (related to dental infections, infection in the body, stress, sleep, diet, microbiome, exercise, mental state, yoga, movement, posture, spine health, and also other causes maybe). Cleaning and washing the sinuses using a Neti pot is the BEST way to relieve the mucus problem until you heal the inflammation in the body. Once you heal the cause, the inflammation will be gone and the mucus will disappear.
Where do you buy a neti?
What solution do you use?
I think you mean *underlying
@@tracycampbell3060 Walgreens, Walmart, etc
I really liked the Neti pot. However I have a deviated septum, and after using the Neti Pot it could be five, six, hours later and I would be out in public somewhere and water would just push out of my nose. It was too embarrassing, I had to stop using it.
I have post nasal drip and sinus pressure for years since removing large polyp in my maxillary and living in an area of burn pits and waste treatment for 9 months. I would love to be able to live without it. People that spend time with me notice my breathing and throat clearing
Dr. Berg, your videos are incredibly helpful and transparent. I was doing some health coaching research and I bumped int to your video. Brother, I am glad you have all these topics about health, especially in this day in time. One issue I have been battling since forever is (Mucus) that I feel is postnasal, and it just seeps down my throat and its a (Phlegm) Orquestra up in there. Lol. sorry for the nasty description. Unfortunately, my 32-year-old daughter also suffers from the same. She's like dad, I got this darn issue, thanks to you, in humorous terms of course. But yes, it really sucks! I am going to try your remedy and see what it can do for my issues. Thank you again, for your amazing videos sir! God bless you and keep up these great instructional health videos.
Have you found the solution?
Doc...you have gave me high hopes to recovery...it will be a miracle to find out that my issues are from S.I.B.O. I have thought for a few years that S.I.B.O. was really my problem. I went to a gastrointestinal doctor for symptoms of Ciliacs disease thinking I just had I.B.S. so with that I've had the flem, constipation, bad gas, and bloating for the last 10 years. I've been on a gluten free diet for about the last 6 years and most of my symptoms are gone except for the flem, constipation, gas, and bloating. I went back to the doctor because of these issues. I blew into a machine or tube, and the doctor said I was positive for candida? He gave me antibiotics I took for 7 days. It didn't help my condition. I'm starting your program with the apple cider vinegar, cleaning the nose with the Iodine, and salt. I'm doing the vitamin A, and D as well. Also doing a garlic, and zinc pill. I wanted to ask you about the Betaine Hydrochloride? You said to start with 5 pills and work my way up as far as I can go. I purchased a bottle of those at 790 mg. Is 5 OK to start with at that dose? Also I forgot to mention the most important part to why i want to try your program. the last couple of years I've had some bad acid reflux attacks so it makes total sense in having the S.I.B.O. so this is why I want to try your program on ridding the S.I.B.O.
Thank you Dr. Berg, your videos are much appreciated-for being comprehensive, always explaining the root causes so well and giving reliable and relevant solutions,making us aware of healthier options and less dependent on pills.
Great video ! Actually, being a vocal coach, I have noticed that pressing some points behind of our neck , it really helps to get recovered from the sore throat.. I always say to my students to massage that part of the neck before singing and, in general , few times a day when / if we don't feel well ... Happy to hear this kind advice from such an amazing doctor as you are !!🙏🙏🙏🔝🔝🔝👏👏👏
What points on the neck do you recommend to massage? I actually have a sore throat right now.
@@choppinbroccoli7037

I discovered these acupressure points this fall when I finally caught Covid and had a sinus headache. To passively stimulate these points I take a bandana and roll it into a rope that I can tie around my head, going from the nape of my neck up to the top of my head. Then I take some thin flexible refrigerator magnets (the cheap advertising kind) and tuck them into the space between the bandana and the acupressure points at the nape of the neck. The magnets create an electrical stimulation of the points, eliminating the need to apply pressure. I find that wearing magnets at night causes too much electrical stimulation, and a feeling of anxiety, but wearing these magnets for a few hours during the day had a carry-over effect that lasted all night long to prevent the sinus pain, so I didn't have to wear them while sleeping.
I suffer from chest infections mostly every year and this information will really help me through them. Thanks.
Dr Berg you are an amazing human being
Thank you so much for your videos explaining how our body works and what it needs
It helps me live healthier
