I am almost in disbelief of what a difference Kefir has made in my life. I started drinking it about 4 months ago because of what Dr. Berg had been saying about it. The digestive problems that I have been dealing with for the last 5 years are now gone. I also had cut out the sugary foods, bread products and I am eating cruciferous vegetables. However, when I started drinking Kefir it was, literally, an overnight change in my bowel problems. It’s incredible. Thanks, once again, for helping me through and rectifying another health problem. I highly recommend trying Kefir. Thanks, again, Dr. Berg!
I have to tell you a story. It's a story about enlightenment. Not in the ethereal sense (although I think it bares some relevance) Long story short; I was raised on a farm, we grew and ate our own food (free of poisons) Left home, moved to the city, went to school, changed my way of life completely. Fell into the trap of the commercial "food" industry. Sick a LOT. Met my guy who was practicing holistic health to manage an autoimmune disease. He educated me on FOOD and HEALTH. We practiced together. We healed each other. We hadn't been to a regular grocery store to buy our FOOD in a long time. One day we had to go out of town. We needed something so stopped at a mainstream grocery. I had what I would describe as an out of body experience. It was something that I was completely thrown off by. In the middle of that store the realization hit me that there was NO REAL FOOD in that whole place. They didn't even have anything organic. I looked around as if in a foreign land and things may as well have been in slow motion as I watched people shuffling by with their carts stuffed with all of this Non-food garbage. I wondered to myself; do any of them know what they are consuming? Do they? The vast majority did not look healthy. Mainly they looked tired and over-weight. That was a true awakening to me. I pray that people will awaken to the evil that has captured our lives. FOOD should heal not kill. Cheers to you Dr. Eric Berg. Keep fighting the good fight.
I had a similar experience. It felt like waking up. So many things being sold to us as "food" are not. They're just edible products. Many shouldn't even be eaten
@@danmaertens7872 I live in Europe; reading lots of comments on YT health and nutrition channels, I learned that a few supermarkets in the US have a small section called "Natural Foods". It contains fresh fruit and veg. Nothing organically grown, and the prices are astronomical. Sounds like it's difficult to find simple, fresh food items in most of the USA. Now I understand why American folks are keen on growing their own vegetables.
My daugher was in the hospital for a week we are waiting for the exams that she made…she was taking antibiotics was very agressive for her…your videos are helping her to recovery and know i want to get off the city and go to the contry to start growing my own food! The most important tresoure in life is our health. Thank you Dr. Berg ❤
Over use of anti-biotics can set you up for things like; C Diff. The more antibiotics a person takes the more likely a person is to have an overgrowth of the bad bacteria. It's a viscous cycle. C diff does not need O2 to live or reproduce so it is hard to get in check.
I noticed when you were talking about sauerkraut you didn’t mention the importance of buying sauerkraut from the fridge section of the supermarket. Most sauerkraut that you find on the shelf loses most of it healthy microbes during the jarring process. You want to find the stuff that is unpasteurized. 😊
After reading sauerkraut labels on cold bags, glass jars and cans, i noticed that the jars have preservatives in them. Not the cans though. Read the cold bags too. Some have sugar added.
Doc, I can say first hand that the incredible health improvements that I have experienced by going KETO with intermittent fasting have been absolutely life changing! I have a complicated loss-of-domain hernia that requires me to have a abdominal wall reconstructive surgery to fix. In order to do that, I have to drop from a weight of 450lbs to under 300lbs. By getting onto a KETO diet with 18hrs of daily fasting, I have lost 110lbs thus far and I have only been on the diet for 7 months. I feel better than ever. Issues that I have dealt with for decades are fading quickly and I feel a vitality being restored that I thought was merely middle age...it isn't. Its the addiction that we have with certain accepted poisons, and I am so happy to be free of them. Its not a diet...its a way of life.
Do you think you’ll still need the surgery if you stick with IF and Keto?? I hope so and I wish you well. Good for you though. I applaud your efforts for good health!
I needed this. After 8 months of anti-biotics for various viruses/infections. It’s done a number on my gut. I have been taking digestive enzymes for a week, various potassium rich foods, variety… it’s really helped. I have my energy back. My joint’s no longer ache. 🙏🏽
I've been taking a lot of antibiotics recently and I feel the damage, I feel nervous and depressed, lack of energy, and I'm concerned. What kind of enzymes did u take. And what worked best for your gut?
I wish that you were around 30 years ago sharing your knowledge on heath and how the body works! Better late then never. You are one of the best educators we have on human heath. Please don’t ever stop!
Dr. Mercola has been around forty years and deleted ALL of his articles and information to appease the censorship loving free speech dislikers of this current US administration.
Thirty years ago nobody knew anything about the effects of having a diverse microbiome. One of the first people exploring this is Donna Schwenk from Cultured Food Life; she started some 22 years ago when she stumbled on the benefits of Kefir, Kombucha, and cultured veggies.
Dr. Rob Atkins was around 30 years ago promoting many of these same concepts! For his work, he was ridiculed and ostracized. Unfortunately this info is only being more accepted during past few years. Even still, it's only a small minority of people who'll seek out and accept this knowledge!
If you want to see a huge diversity of fermented food, study Korean cuisines. Staple foods are gochujang, soybean paste, kimchi (which means ANY veggie that's fermented in a certain way), pickled veggies (fermented), salted fermented fish (added to season dishes before or after cooking) and that's just a list off the top of my head. Japanese umeboshi is a powerful fermented food for gut health. The intense sourness helps with digestion. All cultures have traditions in fermenting food. You just have to look at cultures who still have knowledge of these traditions
I lived in Korea for two years. And lived like a Korean slept on the floor, shopping for food everyday at the outdoor markets. Within the first 6 months I think I lost at least 50 lb without even trying.
At this point, I've learned to just hit the like button from the start, because I have yet to see one of Dr. Berg's videos I didn't like! So much good stuff!
I’ve been looking at increasing plants in my diet for sometime. I’d recommend growing some of your own. You can grow them quite easily in tubs and pots if you have a small garden and you know they’ll be organic and fresh.
I read about a challenge to eat 200 _different_ foods (including spices, thankfully) in a 30-day period. I thought, NO PROBLEM. Boy, was I wrong. I actively pushed and was even eating edible weeds from our backyard to increase my total! I managed to achieve _100_ different foods - a measly half of the goal. It's not easy to eat truly diversely for our gut flora!
A diverse nation Of Microbiome’s is what your body deserves. It’s amazing on many different levels. We are responsible for over 1 trillion cells and everyone has it duty to do. You are your own world take care of it and let it flourish. Give it all what it needs. May you all have peace and blessings. Happy Health To Everyone.
About 1 year ago something happened to my gut out of the blue. Doctors have no answers as to why- I got GASTROPARESIS! Talk about pain! Non stop vomiting, dry heaving, nausea, dehydration, and weakness. It came and went away after 6 months of hell. Motility in my gut had issues working. I backed off of eating buckets of raw salads and that helped. And words of wisdom Dr Berg? Thank u & love love love ur channel♥️
Seems like the place to say this, might help others. I was KETO for over a year but still drank diet sodas. I had terrible hemorrhoids for almost a year. Tried fiber and other remedies without avail. When I took all fake sugars out they were gone within a week, all because of the bacteria. Hope this helps someone.
doing a lot and did'nt enhance your health but taking out artificial sugars was it that did the best result? i started cutting out on sugar just a while ago, cuz we ate rice everyday, uhm it seems to make at least a good result bit by bit, but its better than not having good result whatsoever 😄
Processed sugar is poison. Doesn't matter if it's cane or raw. If you do remove it completely; you might want to add a bit of natural sugar to your diet. Ie. Honey, (making sure it's completely un-processed) Unprocessed Pure maple syrup and fruits like blueberries, apricots, apples. (in small portions) This has an affect that also can help in digestion. For a person who suffers from low blood sugar levels; this may be a way to keep that in check. This is what I do. You have to make your own decisions. Good that you kicked your diet soda!!!! Bravo!!
Omg it helps me!!! I'm addicted to sugar free Pepsi Max, just cutting right down on it this past week. I'd heard that aspartame is bad for gut flora but didn't really put too much importance to it in my head. You think but it's better than sugar NO it's not. It's just as bad. I had to take antibiotics for a tooth absess last year and now I'm realising the aspartame has probably hindered my good flora repopulation attempts. Your comment just made a lightbulb go off in my head to cut out aspartame for good, no more fake crap, I need good guy flora for my immune system to work optimally as I think I've retriggered the glandular fever I had in 1993. Back then pre-glandular fever I had gastroenteritis 6 months beforehand AND a dumb GP pumped me full of 5 courses of antibiotics in a month thinking it was tonsillitis without ever doing an EBV test. It took 2 YEARS to come good again. Same thing happening now, strong antibiotics for 3 weeks last year over my tooth. Recurring diarrhoea. I need to take my gut health more seriously, no sugar is a no brainer but I also need to STOP aspartame to get better I appreciate the timely reading of your comment THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
Just amazing. It never ceases to amaze me how this man can continue to share and there is always something new to learn from him. God bless you Dr. Berg, the world is enriched by the light you bring to it 🤗
Eat the rainbow! I was recently prescribed antibiotics for strep throat. I was pretty sick but wish I had just waited it out. I felt depressed for a good two weeks after finishing them. Wiped out so much good gut health 😢
I'm fortunate in that my work takes me all over the World and I'm sure, by eating the local food, I have been picking up a wide range of microbes for almost 20 years now. Could be a coincidence but my eczema and hayfever have cleared up and I just seem to not get ill very much at all.
I was driving through the farmland of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin last weekend. Most of the farms had brown looking dirt. It looked like everything was dead. But sometimes I saw a farm that was filled with green grass/plants/crops. It looked healthy. Seems like we should get rid of the brown future corn fields and replace them with healthy green looking fields.
So wonderful to have more of an understanding on this subject. I’m sure I have dysbiosis as I have colorectal cancer and have been struggling trying to heal my gut that still feels inflamed. Was taking a stronger probiotic but it seemed to upset my gut so stopped taking it. Just have had a hard time figuring out what I can tolerate and what is helping with healing. And this seems to be a bit of introduction to your possibility of information channel on farming which I’m anxious to hear about your discoveries!!
Try fasting. I find eating a simple diet helps. I eat mostly big green salads with spinach, kale, carrots, zucchini, avocado with olive oil and some sort of fish like salmon or even shell fish. I don't eat sugar or processed foods. I eat basically one meal a day. I may eat a few nuts later or maybe an apple. Mostly your gut just needs time to heal. So do some fasting. Start off with intermittent fasting and work up to a few days every so often. Drink water and some herbal teas. Drink some lemon or lime water in the morning.
@@jerrylisby3440 I’ve done plenty of fasting. In fact, I made it to 7 days doing a water fast after my diagnosis but my blood work showed my vitamin D levels were too high, ended up in ER even though I didn’t feel bad and all that they did was give me a couple of drips to rehydrate me and told me to quit my supplements. Grrr!! Not sure what my main issue is but just seems when I eat most anything, I have a difficult time digesting it. I do eat almost 100% clean. It surely is a learning process……. 🤷🏻♀️
@@-T--T- thank you sooo much!! I missed this video but it does sound interesting and I continue to learn as much as I can along the way. I’ll check out the book. Thank you for the well wishes!
Ya Ya. A great fellow to also hear from on this topic is Zach Bush MD. He is all about the soil... he even made a product that is composed of bacteria & more from ... like in the millions of years old "dinosaur dirt" (as he says 🙂). It contains the pure, balanced highly signaling microorganisms that help balance your microbiome bacteria etc. He also started a program called "Farmers Footprint" and works with many smaller farmers (the farmers aren't short or small.... their farms are). The total focus is Soil LIfe and balance and diversity.
Just as you can increase diversity of veggies you eat, you can diversify your ferments as well: veggies + herbs + seeds (my favorites: onion + thyme; peppers + onions + oregano; cabbage + apple + scallions; onions + fennel seed). Consider also various strains of bacteria for your yogurt (ala William Davis' Super Gut ;^)
That's why I like homemade kefir. It's chock full of different bacteria and yeast strains, unlike store yogurt, in which the good stuff seems to be only five or six strains at my store.
@@kevinorr6880 washed and made into salads, or steamed or stir fried with olive oil and garlic. I prefer them steamed with salt (real salt) pepper and olive oil. Right now they are prolific. Enjoy
Thank you very much for your great advice on this important health topic. In market, there are a lot of probiotics products and we wish there will be more videos in future to explain how different types of gut bacteria work eg lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and etc.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙂
I went to the hospital for a week with what ended up being a mono and cmv infections. They didn't know what I had at first and treated me with antibiotics before tests came back. Those antibiotics caused c-diff. Took me a year and a half to recover because I kept getting colon infections that they treated with broad spectrum antibiotics. Everything Dr Berg is saying is 100% correct. I had to do the research myself but you can rebuild healthy gut bacteria.
I just made a comment above to someone. When you are diagnosed with C diff at a mainstream medical; the first thing that the "doctor" orders is an antibiotic which in turn helps to kill off your good bugs that help to clean up and rid you of the over-growth of that bacterium and it becomes a viscous cycle. I hope that you're building your gut to ward it off and interrupt the cycle. cheers.
I’m going through the same now antibiotics have ruined me I have now been diagnosed with H plyori and now on more antibiotics 😢. How did you heal your gut?
The biggest trip is that we are operated based on our micro biome. Wellness correlates with that but unfortunately it’s a battle between mind ( food addiction ) and gut health
Amazing doctor and he already helped me far more than any other doctor who got payed by my visits. Brilliant doctor. The only thing is that I am very vegetarian and can not see any animal dying. Slaughter houses are nightmares for me. Take collagen though. Plant food, greens, berries, vegetables including a lots of avocados, fruits, spices, dressings made out of seeds and nuts and etc. Only thing is that all these cost fortune and after shopping I am not sure to be happy or cry, that's why I am learning permaculture gardening and going to buy estate and have my own heaven one day!!! Far away from grocery stores and their money hungry owners.......
I've started making my own Sauerkraut, just looked it up on youtube, so easy and so, so good!!!! Salt, cabbage a food scale (to determine amount of salt) and a jar!
Dear doctor, thank you for the videos you uploaded, I have learned a lot. Can you please have a talk about how we can work on improving the microbes for people who have a very bad digest system? Since I relocated, I got food poisoning a couples of times, and I cannot eat properly since then. I got diarrhoea, indigestion, gas, dandruff, sleep loss and ect from time to time, I try to take probiotics but it relieves the symptoms as long as I keep taking them, and it doesn’t improve much. I had lost weight rapidly to only 36kg since and struggle so much to gain weight, but I can’t eat well. 😢 videos on TH-cam only talk about how to lose weight, but no one is really aware that people who need to gain weight find eating hard the same. 🙏
One small comment, E-Coli are not pathogens as stated in the beginning. They are in fact essential for a functional lgut. However occasionally people can ingest a rare pathogenic version. In Switzerland it’s possible to buy in a pharmacy E-Coli tablets based on an E-Coli version SF68. This variant was discovered originally in Sweden in 1968. sourced from breast milk. it is completely susceptible to all modern antibiotics, meaning it has never developed resistance. It still functions like it should. Brand name is Bioflorin. Best health hack for a healthy microbiome.
@@debrafrei4717 I agree that diversity is important. But e-coli is not a pathogen. It’s in fact hhe most important bacteria in our body. It goes into the mucous lining of the large intestine and works from there. It’s adapted to stay put even when waste passes by.
5 thumbs up! I envy your farm lol. There is one bacteria that feeds only on oxalates but it only grows on root veggies underground. They discovered a bacteria the other day that could possibly make organic batteries for power! It's a amazing world sure wish we would stop destroying it. I'm trying to build coconut fiber compost to use on my herbs and micro greens. Hoping to get some tea to mix into the soil as well.
This is the main reason I don't encourage hydroponics and aeroponics farmed produce, when there is opportunity to get soil farmed Another reason is, not enough nutrients in the new farming techniques, apparently it is only 13, compared to 254 nutrients n is sub components Love the clean veggies but it comes at the price of health directly Thanks Dr Berg!
I didn't think much of organic farming before. Why struggle to only get a fraction of the yield that the conventional farmers are getting, I thought. Dr. Berg has given me some new food for thought and another way to look at this thing. Thanks a lot!
Consume a variety of probiotic foods. For example homemade milk kefir has over seventy different strains of probiotics. Nothing sold in the store comes even close! Homemade sauerkraut and beet kvass with onion and cabbage is incredible. Probiotic fish homemade is excellent, too!
Can you tell me how to make homemade kefir? Everything in the supermarket is likely pasteurised, and I can't get unpasteurized sauerkraut here either. My shopping options are very limited where I am for good fermented foods.
He even puts the piggies on IF that’s hilarious! I’ve been doing prolonged fasting this year as well as IF every day and you just know when you’re doing something that’s good for you, and I’m on the road to feeling and looking better than I have ever felt! You are a Truly great man Dr Berg. God bless you🙏🏻
I’m curious about those who are carnivore. Eating only meat seems to be a miracle cure for so many. By all recommendations they should have horrible gut problems, but most resolve their digestive issues by only meat.
Thank you doc! Thank you for the response, way more than I had hoped to get! This is going to be my manual for eating now. I'll let you know how it goes.
Dr Berg ,Should we take the deworming tablets ,is it beneficial ? Or should we avoid it ,and what role does it play in relation to our gut microbiome , Thanks
True doctor that's why I am making fermented foods like Sauerkraut apple cider kifer and selling them my whole family health improved with microbiome diversity
I recently took a gut microbiome test. Showing zero akkermansia and Lactococcus lactis. My gut microbiome diversity is low too. I have candida, that I can't treat. Because of low stomach acid and my adrenal glands. But I believe ebv and streptococcus are the cause of my gut dysbiosis
Just this morning I was pointing out to someone in the comments on another video that kefir and sauerkraut can assist in moderating anxiety in individuals that suffer chronically with elevated anxiety. I mentioned B-vitamins a lot for general mood issues as well as their anxiety.
@@AnnBaileyThunderlungs congratulations! You are a success. I was just this moment getting ready to go out into the yard and cut some dandelion for morning eggs. Maybe that will be the secret.
@@kevinorr6880 each individuals circumstances will be different. I did try to emphasise that some people will not be taking bio-available b vitamins and some my not be able to uptake said vitamins be it due to gut damage, injury, surgery, genetic mutation, what they ate/supplemented with at the same time, alcohol consumption etc etc. Also your living and working/studying environments as well as your familial and social entanglements as well as sleep issues may be keeping you in a state of elevated cortisol. I’m not sure what role Vitamin D plays and also what duration of exposure to the sunlight at the sunrise and sunset play into anxiety and general mood.
So much conflicting/confusing information when it comes to diet. The carnivore club says to avoid vegetables (especially raw) due to the antinutrients. Also, the more vegetables I eat, the more constipated I get, due to the fiber. It's been recently discovered that fiber is not needed for bowel movements, but it feeds friendly bacteria? I don't know what to believe (or eat) anymore, and my sleep continues to suffer.
while I agree whole heartedly with everything you are saying I am wondering how people on a very limited food budget like myself can afford to eat like this - that would be a very helpful video...
Dried beans are pretty cheap. I grew up poor so we ate a lot of beans. Left over beans, then Bean soup and then she would add noodles to stretch them another day. I’m 61 and no health issues here
Fantastic as usual. Unfortunately I'm having a battle with my mother, who refuses to listen and is suffering all the symptoms of poor guy diversity and is very frail at 81and will not live much longer, and claims I'm persecuting her, whilst always asking me to buy her junk food. I'm in a very difficult position.
I went through the same thing with my mom! I couldn't get her to do anything healthy. I tried making her fruit and vegetable smoothies but she wouldn't drink them. All she wanted was sweets. I was so frustrated but couldn't do anything about it. She wouldn't even drink water. Very stubborn.
At some point you just gotta let go. My mom was a stubborn mule about eating. She died from lung cancer and smoked right up to the day she died. There was no point arguing about it. They're old and dying. Just enjoy what time you have left with her. That's all that matters at this point. My mom was 77 when she died. My dad was 91 and quit dialysis because he hated it. That was his decision. Their friends are gone or dying. Their grandkids are too busy, and we kids are loving nags... Lol... Just love her. At that age most if them aren't interested in learning how to eat differently. No more battles hon. That's not how you want to remember her last days with you. 😘💞💝
Dr Berg, can you please do a video on how to lower the ratio of pathogens in the microbiome? For those of us who have been on birth control for way too long, etc...
30 Hz vibration Whole Body Vibration----> The rodents received 20 minutes of WBV each day of the week for 4 weeks. The WBV had a frequency of 30 Hz and an amplitude of 3 mm. After the 4 weeks had ended, the team collected and analyzed the rodents’ adipose tissue. The researchers also performed similar experiments with WBV and assessed the rodents’ microbiomes by examining their stool. The experiments revealed various changes as a result of WBV. A crucial finding was a 17-fold increase in a gut bacterium that plays a key role in inflammation. The bacterium goes by the name of Alistipes, and its role is to raise levels of short-chain fatty acids - compounds that lower inflammation in the gut. Previous research has found low levels of the bacterium in people with Crohn’s disease and inflammatory bowel disease, explain the researchers. Among the short-chain fatty acids that Alistipes bacteria help release is butyrate, a metabolite of dietary fiber, which can reverse the negative effects of eating a high-fat diet. Drs. Yu and Baban also explain that Alistipes help ferment the food in the gut and improve metabolism in general, helping the body use sugar to create energy.
"antibiotics... taking probiotic at the same time" - it would seem to be better to take a probiotic spaced ~ centered in between the time points when the antibiotic is taken, so it won't be deactivated immdiately by the antibiotic presumably when taken literally at the same time, basically to rebuild some of what the antibiotic did to the gut in between / at least provide a reasonable placeholder, to prevent fungus taking over.
Lack of diverse microbes can lead to symptoms, including:
• Diarrhea
• Gut inflammation
• Toxins
• Obesity
• Slow metabolism
• Mood changes
Potential benefits of diverse microbes:
• They help you make vitamins
• They provide immune protection
• They help keep inflammation low
• They feed colon cells
• They help produce amino acids, neurotransmitters, and other proteins
• They help keep your energy high
How to increase the diversity of microbes in your gut and boost your health:
1. Consume food that has been grown on soil that has a diverse microbiome
2. Increase the diversity of plant foods in your diet
3. Exercise
4. Get plenty of quality sleep
5. Do intermittent fasting
6. Consume phenols
7. Consume sprouts or microgreens grown on soil
8. Consume probiotic foods
9. Consume raw foods
Top things that lower microbiome diversity:
1. Broad-spectrum antibiotics
2. Glyphosate
3. Animals fed on a monoculture
4. Stress
5. Artificial sweeteners
6. Inflammation
7. Liver issues
8. Sterilized foods
9. Radiated foods
10. Overly processed foods
11. A lack of variety of foods in the diet
Thank You Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
Thanks for the summary!
Thank you Cat! Always so helpful☀️
Thank you
It's not just vegetables. They have to be raw or else the bacteria is dead in the vegetables.
Diverse microbes can lead to symptoms..I would not get microbes in the first place..

After reading sauerkraut labels on cold bags, glass jars and cans, i noticed that the jars have preservatives in them. Not the cans though. Read the cold bags too. Some have sugar added.
@@busyrandis it easy to do?
Doc, I can say first hand that the incredible health improvements that I have experienced by going KETO with intermittent fasting have been absolutely life changing! I have a complicated loss-of-domain hernia that requires me to have a abdominal wall reconstructive surgery to fix. In order to do that, I have to drop from a weight of 450lbs to under 300lbs. By getting onto a KETO diet with 18hrs of daily fasting, I have lost 110lbs thus far and I have only been on the diet for 7 months. I feel better than ever. Issues that I have dealt with for decades are fading quickly and I feel a vitality being restored that I thought was merely middle age...it isn't. Its the addiction that we have with certain accepted poisons, and I am so happy to be free of them. Its not a diet...its a way of life.
Do you think you’ll still need the surgery if you stick with IF and Keto?? I hope so and I wish you well. Good for you though. I applaud your efforts for good health!
I needed this. After 8 months of anti-biotics for various viruses/infections. It’s done a number on my gut. I have been taking digestive enzymes for a week, various potassium rich foods, variety… it’s really helped. I have my energy back. My joint’s no longer ache. 🙏🏽
I've been taking a lot of antibiotics recently and I feel the damage, I feel nervous and depressed, lack of energy, and I'm concerned. What kind of enzymes did u take. And what worked best for your gut?
Hi, try using garlic and oregano oil as a natural antibiotic. Not medical advice.
I wish that you were around 30 years ago sharing your knowledge on heath and how the body works! Better late then never. You are one of the best educators we have on human heath. Please don’t ever stop!
Dr. Mercola has been around forty years and deleted ALL of his articles and information to appease the censorship loving free speech dislikers of this current US administration.
TH-cam only started 18 years ago in the year 2005.
Thirty years ago nobody knew anything about the effects of having a diverse microbiome. One of the first people exploring this is Donna Schwenk from Cultured Food Life; she started some 22 years ago when she stumbled on the benefits of Kefir, Kombucha, and cultured veggies.
@@cachi-7878 30 years ago was the year 1993 and I was in the 4th grade at the time and my younger brother was turning 1 years old.
Dr. Rob Atkins was around 30 years ago promoting many of these same concepts! For his work, he was ridiculed and ostracized. Unfortunately this info is only being more accepted during past few years. Even still, it's only a small minority of people who'll seek out and accept this knowledge!
What nice coincidence! Just started researching gut health and this awesome man comes out with a video on the topic! Fantastic
Carnivore all the way🥓🥩🍳🧀
@@J.o.e_K which video? I tried searching and tons of mythbuster fire extinguisher vids came up.
I haven't missed a single video of yours.All I can say is you brought me back to life.Thank you!
Thank you for being such a dedicated viewer! It means a lot to hear that my content has made such a positive impact on you. Take care!
Dr Berg is nothing short of a national treasure, thanks to everything he’s doing to help people improve their health!
No problem. Happy to help you all.
Stop it you’re causing inflammation to his head!
@@angryanneLol 😂 Don’t worry…his diverse microbiome keeps his ego in check.

If you want to see a huge diversity of fermented food, study Korean cuisines. Staple foods are gochujang, soybean paste, kimchi (which means ANY veggie that's fermented in a certain way), pickled veggies (fermented), salted fermented fish (added to season dishes before or after cooking) and that's just a list off the top of my head. Japanese umeboshi is a powerful fermented food for gut health. The intense sourness helps with digestion. All cultures have traditions in fermenting food. You just have to look at cultures who still have knowledge of these traditions
I lived in Korea for two years. And lived like a Korean slept on the floor, shopping for food everyday at the outdoor markets. Within the first 6 months I think I lost at least 50 lb without even trying.
wow
good for you 👌
@@Donita1213 that's awesome!
Yes diversify your plants and seeds. I saw a huge difference with my stomach problems
At this point, I've learned to just hit the like button from the start, because I have yet to see one of Dr. Berg's videos I didn't like! So much good stuff!
I do the same! I also start reading comments & end up needing to watch again. Not a bad gig every morning!
Antibiotics are the worst thing you can do when it comes to gut health.
Yeah. It's code red, defcon, in intestines.
But sometimes life saving, use wisely when required but don't reject when needed.
. . . and sugar is directly after antibiotics.
Drink kefir using raw milk
It is also a tremendous strain on your bone marrow.
Glad I woke up early for Dr Bergs class today. Thanks bud! 😂
I’ve been looking at increasing plants in my diet for sometime. I’d recommend growing some of your own. You can grow them quite easily in tubs and pots if you have a small garden and you know they’ll be organic and fresh.
This video is a game-changer! I never realized how important microbial diversity is for overall health. Thanks for sharing!
I've got a really good gut feeling about all this!
Thanks Doc 👍
I read about a challenge to eat 200 _different_ foods (including spices, thankfully) in a 30-day period. I thought, NO PROBLEM. Boy, was I wrong. I actively pushed and was even eating edible weeds from our backyard to increase my total! I managed to achieve _100_ different foods - a measly half of the goal. It's not easy to eat truly diversely for our gut flora!
A diverse nation Of Microbiome’s is what your body deserves. It’s amazing on many different levels. We are responsible for over 1 trillion cells and everyone has it duty to do.
You are your own world take care of it and let it flourish. Give it all what it needs. May you all have peace and blessings.
Happy Health To Everyone.
About 1 year ago something happened to my gut out of the blue. Doctors have no answers as to why-
I got GASTROPARESIS!
Talk about pain!
Non stop vomiting, dry heaving, nausea, dehydration, and weakness. It came and went away after 6 months of hell. Motility in my gut had issues working. I backed off of eating buckets of raw salads and that helped. And words of wisdom Dr Berg?
Thank u & love love love ur channel♥️
Have you checked for possible spleen enlargement or deficiency? Just a suggestion.
A massive diverse microbiome checks and balances each other which keeps our immune system strong and healthy.
Seems like the place to say this, might help others. I was KETO for over a year but still drank diet sodas. I had terrible hemorrhoids for almost a year. Tried fiber and other remedies without avail. When I took all fake sugars out they were gone within a week, all because of the bacteria. Hope this helps someone.
doing a lot and did'nt enhance your health but taking out artificial sugars was it that did the best result?
i started cutting out on sugar just a while ago, cuz we ate rice everyday,
uhm it seems to make at least a good result bit by bit,
but its better than not having good result whatsoever 😄
sheesh who drinks that poisom anymore.
Processed sugar is poison. Doesn't matter if it's cane or raw. If you do remove it completely; you might want to add a bit of natural sugar to your diet. Ie. Honey, (making sure it's completely un-processed) Unprocessed Pure maple syrup and fruits like blueberries, apricots, apples. (in small portions) This has an affect that also can help in digestion. For a person who suffers from low blood sugar levels; this may be a way to keep that in check. This is what I do. You have to make your own decisions. Good that you kicked your diet soda!!!! Bravo!!
Omg it helps me!!! I'm addicted to sugar free Pepsi Max, just cutting right down on it this past week. I'd heard that aspartame is bad for gut flora but didn't really put too much importance to it in my head. You think but it's better than sugar NO it's not. It's just as bad.
I had to take antibiotics for a tooth absess last year and now I'm realising the aspartame has probably hindered my good flora repopulation attempts.
Your comment just made a lightbulb go off in my head to cut out aspartame for good, no more fake crap, I need good guy flora for my immune system to work optimally as I think I've retriggered the glandular fever I had in 1993. Back then pre-glandular fever I had gastroenteritis 6 months beforehand AND a dumb GP pumped me full of 5 courses of antibiotics in a month thinking it was tonsillitis without ever doing an EBV test. It took 2 YEARS to come good again.
Same thing happening now, strong antibiotics for 3 weeks last year over my tooth. Recurring diarrhoea. I need to take my gut health more seriously, no sugar is a no brainer but I also need to STOP aspartame to get better
I appreciate the timely reading of your comment THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
Love that connectivity of your lectures Doc Berg ❤️I'm learning a lot thank you so much.💖
Just amazing. It never ceases to amaze me how this man can continue to share and there is always something new to learn from him. God bless you Dr. Berg, the world is enriched by the light you bring to it 🤗
@Jean Carroll lol😂
Eat the rainbow! I was recently prescribed antibiotics for strep throat. I was pretty sick but wish I had just waited it out. I felt depressed for a good two weeks after finishing them. Wiped out so much good gut health 😢
So good!! I'm stoked for advancements in this area, and in my overall health !!
Awesome. Stay safe and healthy!
@Drberg was made in His Father's image, AMEN
( Kings and Queens )
We are grateful
I'm fortunate in that my work takes me all over the World and I'm sure, by eating the local food, I have been picking up a wide range of microbes for almost 20 years now. Could be a coincidence but my eczema and hayfever have cleared up and I just seem to not get ill very much at all.
I was driving through the farmland of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin last weekend. Most of the farms had brown looking dirt. It looked like everything was dead. But sometimes I saw a farm that was filled with green grass/plants/crops. It looked healthy. Seems like we should get rid of the brown future corn fields and replace them with healthy green looking fields.
Thanks so much doctor Eric. I really need this. I’m suffering from back pain and very bad constipation with lots of pain in my right side
How are you doing now?
Yep, variety is the spice of life! Thank you for gut health information Dr. Berg!!
No problem. Hope you enjoyed watching the video.
So wonderful to have more of an understanding on this subject. I’m sure I have dysbiosis as I have colorectal cancer and have been struggling trying to heal my gut that still feels inflamed. Was taking a stronger probiotic but it seemed to upset my gut so stopped taking it. Just have had a hard time figuring out what I can tolerate and what is helping with healing.
And this seems to be a bit of introduction to your possibility of information channel on farming which I’m anxious to hear about your discoveries!!
I am having similar issues and healing the gut isn’t as easy as screwing it up!
i agree on that,
i've put much effort on healing my gut and it just took one wrong choice of food i guess and its back to the crazy side 😩
Try fasting. I find eating a simple diet helps. I eat mostly big green salads with spinach, kale, carrots, zucchini, avocado with olive oil and some sort of fish like salmon or even shell fish.
I don't eat sugar or processed foods. I eat basically one meal a day. I may eat a few nuts later or maybe an apple. Mostly your gut just needs time to heal. So do some fasting. Start off with intermittent fasting and work up to a few days every so often. Drink water and some herbal teas. Drink some lemon or lime water in the morning.
@@jerrylisby3440 I’ve done plenty of fasting. In fact, I made it to 7 days doing a water fast after my diagnosis but my blood work showed my vitamin D levels were too high, ended up in ER even though I didn’t feel bad and all that they did was give me a couple of drips to rehydrate me and told me to quit my supplements. Grrr!! Not sure what my main issue is but just seems when I eat most anything, I have a difficult time digesting it. I do eat almost 100% clean. It surely is a learning process……. 🤷🏻♀️
@@-T--T- thank you sooo much!! I missed this video but it does sound interesting and I continue to learn as much as I can along the way. I’ll check out the book. Thank you for the well wishes!
In the process of working on my diversity. Thanks Dr. Berg!
Ya Ya. A great fellow to also hear from on this topic is Zach Bush MD. He is all about the soil... he even made a product that is composed of bacteria & more from ... like in the millions of years old "dinosaur dirt" (as he says 🙂). It contains the pure, balanced highly signaling microorganisms that help balance your microbiome bacteria etc. He also started a program called "Farmers Footprint" and works with many smaller farmers (the farmers aren't short or small.... their farms are). The total focus is Soil LIfe and balance and diversity.
💚
Just as you can increase diversity of veggies you eat, you can diversify your ferments as well: veggies + herbs + seeds (my favorites: onion + thyme; peppers + onions + oregano; cabbage + apple + scallions; onions + fennel seed). Consider also various strains of bacteria for your yogurt (ala William Davis' Super Gut ;^)
That's why I like homemade kefir. It's chock full of different bacteria and yeast strains, unlike store yogurt, in which the good stuff seems to be only five or six strains at my store.
Thanks for the info as always 😊
You're most welcome!
Diversity and variety microbes are spices in life. From Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦
Thank you so much for daily amazing information. I am always enjoying to watch your video everyday ❤
Jkkkkj
Dandelion greens and flowers picked off your own garden is supreme.
And used how?
@@kevinorr6880 washed and made into salads, or steamed or stir fried with olive oil and garlic. I prefer them steamed with salt (real salt) pepper and olive oil. Right now they are prolific. Enjoy
Good morning Dr Berg.Very informative topic.Thank you so much and so much Doctor Berg ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much for your great advice on this important health topic.
In market, there are a lot of probiotics products and we wish there will be more videos in future to explain how different types of gut bacteria work eg lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and etc.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙂
Dr Berg. This is a bizarre request, but any chance of doing a video on coffee enemas? Or Gerson therapy?
Lots of Garlic just helps my stomach so MUCH!!!! I have had lots of pain but it gets better with lots of garlic..
Great information! Adding spices to my diet also helps my bio diversity. Easy!
Thanks for your input.
I went to the hospital for a week with what ended up being a mono and cmv infections. They didn't know what I had at first and treated me with antibiotics before tests came back. Those antibiotics caused c-diff. Took me a year and a half to recover because I kept getting colon infections that they treated with broad spectrum antibiotics.
Everything Dr Berg is saying is 100% correct. I had to do the research myself but you can rebuild healthy gut bacteria.
I just made a comment above to someone. When you are diagnosed with C diff at a mainstream medical; the first thing that the "doctor" orders is an antibiotic which in turn helps to kill off your good bugs that help to clean up and rid you of the over-growth of that bacterium and it becomes a viscous cycle. I hope that you're building your gut to ward it off and interrupt the cycle. cheers.
had terrible c-dif. one enema from a healthy fecal strain cured me in 12 hours. Miracle
I’m going through the same now antibiotics have ruined me I have now been diagnosed with H plyori and now on more antibiotics 😢. How did you heal your gut?
@@anthonydrabble2005 I did the FODmap diet for 10 months and added fermented foods and probiotics to my diet. Goodluck!
The biggest trip is that we are operated based on our micro biome. Wellness correlates with that but unfortunately it’s a battle between mind ( food addiction ) and gut health
Dr Berg, you are my hero. Thank you so much!
Amazing doctor and he already helped me far more than any other doctor who got payed by my visits. Brilliant doctor. The only thing is that I am very vegetarian and can not see any animal dying. Slaughter houses are nightmares for me. Take collagen though. Plant food, greens, berries, vegetables including a lots of avocados, fruits, spices, dressings made out of seeds and nuts and etc. Only thing is that all these cost fortune and after shopping I am not sure to be happy or cry, that's why I am learning permaculture gardening and going to buy estate and have my own heaven one day!!! Far away from grocery stores and their money hungry owners.......
I've started making my own Sauerkraut, just looked it up on youtube, so easy and so, so good!!!! Salt, cabbage a food scale (to determine amount of salt) and a jar!
You're gut must be very happy....!👍
Tnx. Will take ur advice
🙏 Thank you Dr Berg. This is liquid gold. Many many thanks Sir.
Dr Bergs garden is on IF. Plants are only placed in the soil from 12-8.
I've been thinking about this topic since the day I discovered this channel like a month ago! So glad doc did vid on this!
Thank you! I love your videos, so informative and interesting!💙❤️
Glad you enjoy them! Thanks for watching!
This is what i want... Diversity of Mircoflora

Dear doctor, thank you for the videos you uploaded, I have learned a lot. Can you please have a talk about how we can work on improving the microbes for people who have a very bad digest system? Since I relocated, I got food poisoning a couples of times, and I cannot eat properly since then. I got diarrhoea, indigestion, gas, dandruff, sleep loss and ect from time to time, I try to take probiotics but it relieves the symptoms as long as I keep taking them, and it doesn’t improve much. I had lost weight rapidly to only 36kg since and struggle so much to gain weight, but I can’t eat well. 😢 videos on TH-cam only talk about how to lose weight, but no one is really aware that people who need to gain weight find eating hard the same. 🙏
Great information! Thank you Dr. Berg.
I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

One small comment, E-Coli are not pathogens as stated in the beginning. They are in fact essential for a functional lgut. However occasionally people can ingest a rare pathogenic version. In Switzerland it’s possible to buy in a pharmacy E-Coli tablets based on an E-Coli version SF68. This variant was discovered originally in Sweden in 1968. sourced from breast milk. it is completely susceptible to all modern antibiotics, meaning it has never developed resistance. It still functions like it should. Brand name is Bioflorin. Best health hack for a healthy microbiome.
You get a problems whe it not blanced
He explained that.... the good live in us along with the bad. It’s when the relation becomes unbalanced.
@@debrafrei4717 I agree that diversity is important. But e-coli is not a pathogen. It’s in fact hhe most important bacteria in our body. It goes into the mucous lining of the large intestine and works from there. It’s adapted to stay put even when waste passes by.
5 thumbs up! I envy your farm lol. There is one bacteria that feeds only on oxalates but it only grows on root veggies underground. They discovered a bacteria the other day that could possibly make organic batteries for power! It's a amazing world sure wish we would stop destroying it. I'm trying to build coconut fiber compost to use on my herbs and micro greens. Hoping to get some tea to mix into the soil as well.
This is the main reason I don't encourage hydroponics and aeroponics farmed produce, when there is opportunity to get soil farmed
Another reason is, not enough nutrients in the new farming techniques, apparently it is only 13, compared to 254 nutrients n is sub components
Love the clean veggies but it comes at the price of health directly
Thanks Dr Berg!
I didn't think much of organic farming before. Why struggle to only get a fraction of the yield that the conventional farmers are getting, I thought. Dr. Berg has given me some new food for thought and another way to look at this thing. Thanks a lot!
No problem. Glad to share what I know about this topic. Take care.
Consume a variety of probiotic foods. For example homemade milk kefir has over seventy different strains of probiotics. Nothing sold in the store comes even close!
Homemade sauerkraut and beet kvass with onion and cabbage is incredible. Probiotic fish homemade is excellent, too!
Can you tell me how to make homemade kefir? Everything in the supermarket is likely pasteurised, and I can't get unpasteurized sauerkraut here either. My shopping options are very limited where I am for good fermented foods.
Finally a diversity that actually is our strength.
😂
He even puts the piggies on IF that’s hilarious!
I’ve been doing prolonged fasting this year as well as IF every day and you just know when you’re doing something that’s good for you, and I’m on the road to feeling and looking better than I have ever felt!
You are a Truly great man Dr Berg.
God bless you🙏🏻
Big congrats to you!
Ketiggies 🤣
This is very strange. My comment on another channel shows up here. My apologies.
Thanks Dr berg! We need some assistance with the microbiome.
You're very welcome!
Forced to take antibiotics yesterday for a dental procedure. Listening to a podcast about gut bacteria on my way there.....
Me too! I took antibiotics for 3 weeks late last year, it's ruined my immune system..
Cocoction of ACV 2 TSP, lemon juice of half lemon and half tea spoon honey in morning changed my energy levels,metabolism and my life.
With micro greens you can also add worm castings to the coir or use a high microbial organic fermented fertilizer to add those microbes to the greens.
Where can we find organic fermented fertilizer?
If I have a problem/illness my mom will say, “What does Dr. Berg say about it?” Lol. Thank God for Dr. Berg.
I’m curious about those who are carnivore. Eating only meat seems to be a miracle cure for so many. By all recommendations they should have horrible gut problems, but most resolve their digestive issues by only meat.
It’s avoidance rather than cure
Dear. Dr
Bergh
Thank You. for making. even fasting exiting. 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you doc! Thank you for the response, way more than I had hoped to get! This is going to be my manual for eating now. I'll let you know how it goes.
Anytime!
Thank you so much Dr. Berg. So much to learn from this video that I replay many times.
That's great! I'm truly glad you were able to learn so much.
Thank You Dr. Berg

Dr Berg ,Should we take the deworming tablets ,is it beneficial ? Or should we avoid it ,and what role does it play in relation to our gut microbiome ,
Thanks
Thank you so much for daily amazing information. I am always enjoying to watch your video everyday
7:12 What is the name of the phenol in turmeric that is mentioned? Sounds like fumanin, I didn't find it anywhere.
Exactly the kind of video I love & need right now thanks dr berg!❤
Most welcome! Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this valuable advice.
This is very good to know and I already ferment my own sauerkraut. 🙂❤️
Wonderful!
Very complete. Thank you so much.
My pleasure! Take care!
keep going doc, youre great
Thanks so much for your support!
@Drberg you have changed the lives of my household. So thank you forever!!
True doctor that's why I am making fermented foods like Sauerkraut apple cider kifer and selling them my whole family health improved with microbiome diversity
I recently took a gut microbiome test. Showing zero akkermansia and Lactococcus lactis. My gut microbiome diversity is low too. I have candida, that I can't treat. Because of low stomach acid and my adrenal glands. But I believe ebv and streptococcus are the cause of my gut dysbiosis
Just this morning I was pointing out to someone in the comments on another video that kefir and sauerkraut can assist in moderating anxiety in individuals that suffer chronically with elevated anxiety.
I mentioned B-vitamins a lot for general mood issues as well as their anxiety.
I gotta say, I make my own kefir and sauerkraut, and my anxiety is through the roof!! I guess I need more vit. B.
Ha I make my own kefir and fermented veg! I’m super-chilled 😂😎
@@AnnBaileyThunderlungs congratulations! You are a success. I was just this moment getting ready to go out into the yard and cut some dandelion for morning eggs. Maybe that will be the secret.
@@kevinorr6880 did you try eliminated plants and eat Just meat?
@@kevinorr6880 each individuals circumstances will be different.
I did try to emphasise that some people will not be taking bio-available b vitamins and some my not be able to uptake said vitamins be it due to gut damage, injury, surgery, genetic mutation, what they ate/supplemented with at the same time, alcohol consumption etc etc.
Also your living and working/studying environments as well as your familial and social entanglements as well as sleep issues may be keeping you in a state of elevated cortisol.
I’m not sure what role Vitamin D plays and also what duration of exposure to the sunlight at the sunrise and sunset play into anxiety and general mood.
So much conflicting/confusing information when it comes to diet. The carnivore club says to avoid vegetables (especially raw) due to the antinutrients. Also, the more vegetables I eat, the more constipated I get, due to the fiber. It's been recently discovered that fiber is not needed for bowel movements, but it feeds friendly bacteria? I don't know what to believe (or eat) anymore, and my sleep continues to suffer.
I'm hearing with keto that above ground leafy greens ok. Lower carbs. But veggies are still high in heavy metals so not sure either 😕
while I agree whole heartedly with everything you are saying I am wondering how people on a very limited food budget like myself can afford to eat like this - that would be a very helpful video...
Dried beans are pretty cheap. I grew up poor so we ate a lot of beans. Left over beans, then Bean soup and then she would add noodles to stretch them another day. I’m 61 and no health issues here
Gmorning from somerset KY...Just absolutely enjoy watching your educational videos. Many have been so helpful. Thank you
Somerset KY is in alabama, what u mean ?
Great video. A healthy microbiome also helps with anxiety and depression!
thank you so much for detailed explanation
Thanks! Hopefully that helps you.
Fantastic as usual. Unfortunately I'm having a battle with my mother, who refuses to listen and is suffering all the symptoms of poor guy diversity and is very frail at 81and will not live much longer, and claims I'm persecuting her, whilst always asking me to buy her junk food. I'm in a very difficult position.
I went through the same thing with my mom! I couldn't get her to do anything healthy. I tried making her fruit and vegetable smoothies but she wouldn't drink them. All she wanted was sweets. I was so frustrated but couldn't do anything about it. She wouldn't even drink water. Very stubborn.
At some point you just gotta let go. My mom was a stubborn mule about eating. She died from lung cancer and smoked right up to the day she died. There was no point arguing about it. They're old and dying. Just enjoy what time you have left with her. That's all that matters at this point. My mom was 77 when she died. My dad was 91 and quit dialysis because he hated it. That was his decision. Their friends are gone or dying. Their grandkids are too busy, and we kids are loving nags... Lol... Just love her. At that age most if them aren't interested in learning how to eat differently. No more battles hon. That's not how you want to remember her last days with you. 😘💞💝
Thank you Dr. Berg👑🏆
Most welcome!
Great info. Thanks Eric!
Most welcome! Glad you found it useful!
Dr Berg, can you please do a video on how to lower the ratio of pathogens in the microbiome? For those of us who have been on birth control for way too long, etc...
30 Hz vibration Whole Body Vibration----> The rodents received 20 minutes of WBV each day of the week for 4 weeks. The WBV had a frequency of 30 Hz and an amplitude of 3 mm. After the 4 weeks had ended, the team collected and analyzed the rodents’ adipose tissue.
The researchers also performed similar experiments with WBV and assessed the rodents’ microbiomes by examining their stool.
The experiments revealed various changes as a result of WBV. A crucial finding was a 17-fold increase in a gut bacterium that plays a key role in inflammation.
The bacterium goes by the name of Alistipes, and its role is to raise levels of short-chain fatty acids - compounds that lower inflammation in the gut. Previous research has found low levels of the bacterium in people with Crohn’s disease and inflammatory bowel disease, explain the researchers.
Among the short-chain fatty acids that Alistipes bacteria help release is butyrate, a metabolite of dietary fiber, which can reverse the negative effects of eating a high-fat diet.
Drs. Yu and Baban also explain that Alistipes help ferment the food in the gut and improve metabolism in general, helping the body use sugar to create energy.
"antibiotics... taking probiotic at the same time" - it would seem to be better to take a probiotic spaced ~ centered in between the time points when the antibiotic is taken, so it won't be deactivated immdiately by the antibiotic presumably when taken literally at the same time, basically to rebuild some of what the antibiotic did to the gut in between / at least provide a reasonable placeholder, to prevent fungus taking over.
So important yet you haven’t done a video on until now
Thank you Dr Berg.
You're most welcome.
