0:00 How to stop a cold in its tracks
1:50 Do intermittent fasting; you don’t need to nourish your body when you’re sick
I explain how to stop cold at its first sign. As well, whether you have a viral infection or a bacterial infection, there are several things you can do to minimize it and maybe even prevent it.
First, take zinc and vitamin C together, but eat foods high in vitamin C as opposed to a supplement. I recommend eating lemons, as opposed to pasteurized lemon juice.
You can also drink apple cider vinegar because when you acidify your body with it, you speed up the action of white blood cells called phagocytes. They clean up bacteria as part of your immune system.
Eat garlic. It’s the most powerful anti-viral food I know. It’s also anti-bacterial.
Make sure you do these things right when you get the first symptom of a cold.
As well, do intermittent fasting so your body can go into repair mode, and increase its resistance to stress. Intermittent fasting also causes important changes at the cellular level, which will help stop a cold.
There’s usually a stress event connected with a cold, so take steps to reduce your stress. And of course, no sugar, alcohol, or milk products because they feed the bacteria and can keep the infection there much longer.
When people are exposed to a virus or bacteria, some people will get it and some won’t depend on their susceptibility. If your immune system is strong; if you’re in good shape; and, if you have a health reserve, chances are you won’t come down with an infection. But if you feel run down, and you’re going to do something like getting on a plane with many other people, take zinc, vitamin C, garlic, and even apple cider vinegar before you get on the plane. And, do intermittent fasting. This will all help you build up your resistance.
One last thing: get enough good quality sleep. This will also help build your resistance.

The ACV has been unbelievably helpful to my body - 2 teaspoons 3x a day on empty stomach in a glass of water and increase slightly if needed - absolutely destroyed my cold...thanks Dr. Berg - this one thing I learned from you has helped tremendously and I continue to learn.
Three teaspoons is almost the equivalent of one Tablspoon, (3.3 tspns is 1 Tblspn). So just take one Tblspn. 3 times a day.... that way you don't have to measure a tspn 3 times in a row 😁
do you get any stomach upset or acidity? Cause I get when I take too much of it.
@@hafsabadi5294 use more water, use pure lemon juice half half with ACV.
@@GameChanger597 Tehe or for me it's 12 pumps on the vinegar dispenser I keep on my counter and use off and on all day :)
@@hafsabadi5294 Then just dilute it with more water. Taking it on an empty stomach is recommended for killing bad bacteria if you have digestive problems but is not necessary. I drink 1 Tbsp of vinegar in a 12 oz glass of water. Early in the a.m. I might eat a hard boiled egg or any leftover protein in the fridge
Half a lemon in a little water every morning has stopped me getting a cold for the past 4 years!!
Havent been sick since ive started keto back in april. When I feel like i might get sick I do this:
1. Oregano oil and Echinacea
2. Fasting and then OMAD with bone broth (turmeric, ginger), beef liver and broccoli
3. Sleep
4. Cod liver oil
5. Sauerkraut
twilight what is OMAD ? Thank you for your reply 🙂Happy New Year
@@nancyfahey7518 Dang, Nancy! I think you've learned how to handle extreme stress lately! Not saying OMAD isn't an awesome way to eat, but I think there are other factors in play here! Anyways, here's wishing you Good Luck with everything!!😉
@@nancyfahey7518 Prayers out to you sister!
Barbiegirl Sunshine one meal a day. OMAD
OMAD Is One Meal A Day
I've taken a 2000 mg odorless garlic supplement everyday for almost 7 years and have not had a cold or the flu during that time. I swear by it. Doesn't matter which brand. My husband isn't as good at remembering to take his daily, and when he skips a few days and starts to get that little tickle, I have him immediately take one of the garlic supplements and 25 mg of zinc (always take zinc with food to prevent nausea), and most times he'll skip getting a cold altogether. But you have to do that right at the start of feeling like you're getting a cold.
Thanks Dr Berg. I have been following your guidance for my cold. Zinc, juice of 2 lemons, ACV, garlic, fasting, rest... Amazing recovery! In the past I would get bronchitis chronically ! I am so grateful.... thanks again. Peaceful happiness... Judith
I have noticed that fasting helps tremendously
Fasting helps against some infections and eating helps against others. For some infections fasting could cause you to die whilst if you'd eaten you'd have survived. Fasting seems essential for bacterial stomach infections like food poisoning. Whilst eating seems to help against some viral infections, such as the common cold. Fasting will make the cold last longer or make it more likely to have complications.
Palestine Videos lies
@@texanboiii562 I'm not lying. I've read the research. Why don't you read it too.
Palestine Videos yea, we’ve all read research. 😂 how does we know your stuff wasn’t just polled from a questionnaire? 😂
@@texanboiii562 because the research wasn't a questionnaire. For example in one study they infected rats either with a virus or with bacteria. Half the virus infected rats were given no food and half were force fed glucose. Half the bacterial infected rats were given no food and half were force fed glucose. Most of the virus infected rats which had no food died whilst most which were force fed glucose survived. Conversely most of the bacterial infected rats which were given no food survived and most which were force fed died. In another study in humans they looked at the effect of fasting vs eating on stimulation of the immune system and production of immune cells, the research showed that the immune system is stimulated in a way in which it's better able to fight viruses whilst eating, and it's stimulated in a way in which it's better able to fight bacteria whilst fasting.
This is research freely available you can easily find it yourself and educate yourself on the topic. I did after searching and reading for a while as I like to be educated.
This explains my lack of colds the past 4 months since starting keto and IF.
Chicken soup with lemon is the best working food for me everytime.
Thanks Dr. Berg. I have started drinking warm water with freshly squeezed lemon juice at the first sign of cold. It really helps!
I drink 1 squeeze of lemon juice the first sign of a cold. I drink it straight in 1 shot. Luckily I have a lemon tree that bears fruits all year round.
Lucky! ✌
Awesome! I have a zinc tree..so it’s all good.
I have both zinc tree and lemon tree in the back yard too 😹😹😹
@@clicgear100 wait what the hell is a zinc tree?
@@bperez8656 😂😂
I hadn't had a cold in years until a few days ago. I did a few of these things already and appreciate the knowledge. Thank you, Dr. Berg! Blessings to a Happy New Year!
Thank you Dr Berg! You wouldn't be surprised to know the cold is starting around the time my stress level is high. Thank you again for being you. God bless 💞
I like all of your vids. I can tell you do this out of genuine care for people. Thank you sir
You forgot to elaborate why zinc is soo important and how it works. Zinc I was told interferes with the way viruses attach themselves to our cells. It’s awesome.
Dr. Berg has many references to zinc on other videos. Go to his main channel and search for it. But it would be nice if his staff would more consistently put a card (link) to those other videos
I so love this doctor for all the information he shares with us all.❤
Glad to help!

thanks Dr. Berg, it's comforting to hear you say and remind me of these! I have been doing most of these intensified these days HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Gargling with salt water is really good. Everyone should do it 3 times a day. It is a proven way to protect your throat.
Hot or cold water?

Echinacea with golden seal... Works every time! (I take 3, 3 times per day when people around me are sick or if I feel it coming on for a week or so) haven't been sick in over 10 years!

Thanks Dr. Berg. These are great tips! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Love the tv snippets..btw thank you so much Dr. Berg what you are doing is saving lives.
I needed this 2 days ago. First time since I’ve been on keto that I’ve gotten sick.
Love all the great content ive learned so much
Spicing up your videos dr Berg! Love it! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Thank you Dr.Berg actually I am having a cold right now it helped me ... Wishing you and all a Happy and Prosperous New year 2019
what a perfect timing!i need this right now..
Sometimes it's just a perfect storm and I'm bad sick because everything is off and life is out of my control. I lay low and allow my body to detox it all and come out stronger on the other end. Only happens once every few years.
Will take acv , lemon 🍋, and zinc tabs before boarding a flight ✈️ from now on ,Doc !! Thank you for the awesomely great information 💖🤗🤗🤗
Don't forget the garlic 😂😂
Thanks alot doctor for educating us to save ourselves from the dangers of cold and it's infections . Thumbs up for u
This is so timely on this time of pandemic!
Happy New Year Doc, 🥰🎉haven’t been sick since starting Keto in May. I watched your video about Reducing Mucus with salt and started putting some salt in my BPC, nasal passages clear, breathing great. They did try to put me on Ventilin earlier 👍🏻 Thanks for the heads up😘
Thanks to your other videos, I am already doing this each day every day. Just the stress things needs to be controlled more.
I avoid eating out during flu season. So many people work because boss gives them a hard time even though they said not to go into work when sick.
Omg that's true
True I work in a restaurant and management hates when someone calls in sick
I swear you're the bad guy if you called in sick or don't come in on an off day because you are sick 😐
Thank you --- Happy New Year :) Blessings to you and Karen.
Love what you are doing here doc💜
I am enjoying your videos a lot. Thank you very much Eric
That was SO helpful! I’m glad I subscribed to this channel!
Hi, Dr.Berg. Thank you
Soooooooooo much .l was the sickest. Because of your channel
I am healthy, this since l am in keto diet I haven’t had a sneeze.God Bless you Dr.Berg. 😊🙏👋
I always, always get the cold,but this year I'm working on not getting SICK,without me knowing I'm drinking ACV and I'm IF 16/8 I'm eating a whole limon every day,but I'm doing it for a different reason,but now it looks that I'm doing it to prevent getting sick,but I'm loving learning more and more with this doctor.
@@JPMJPM )I just peeled off the skin and eat it just like that I feel that it cleans my throat .
@@JPMJPM )yes, I do think about my enamel but I dont eat limon year round just in the cold season,my dentist told me the same thing, your enamel!
Thanks doc. Great advices! happy New year to everybody
Happy 2019!
Happy new year！
Happy New Year's to you and yours. 2019 is going to be great!
Thank You for this video! I shared it with a few friends that are feeling “under the weather”. Would you mind recommending how much of these items? How many mg of Zinc? How many tablespoons of ACV and so on
Thanks Dr Berg! I've also found coconut oil to be very beneficial for immunity protection and quick recovery.
Literally started a scratchy throat an hour ago......made hot tea and settled down with my iPad to watch your videos and voila! Up popped this video. I have ACV, Lemon, and zinc....out of garlic though. On the mend! The ACV feels so soothing in warm lemon water. Thanks for these tips!
Love you Dr berg! You help so many people!
Thanks for the info...just right on time...
Much appreciated. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Dt. Mercola says a cold develops in the INNER EAR 1st, therefore, it you think you are getting a cold -1st symptom. USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE in the inner ear and let it bubble -10 minutes in each ear. I haven't had a cold for 4 years now.
houndjog
I do the same for myself and kids. As a routine, we do it once a month, and rarely do we get sick. My stubborn husband won’t! He gets whatever is floating in the air, although we all eat same. Then he takes the vitC and D and takes him at least 4days to recover. Very stubborn.

It has been 7yrs, and never a problem. I always use 3% solution. It has been working great. I use it to keep my mouth infection free as well.
Yes, it is the 3 % solution that you can buy at Costco or any drug store@@user-tu2jw7vu7m
We do this too!!
@X Oh stop. You cannot. As long as its never been injured or compromised, it's fine.
Been Keto for 3 years. Not even a sniffle in that time.
Same here. Reverted back for summer fruits and got sick twice
Funny this video was put up, especially in my case. I came off Keto and IF for two days over the holiday season. I immediately developed a cold, first time for me for nearly two years. Even my own family considered it odd in my case. I went on a two day fast and then back on OMAD and Keto. The cold disappeared over night. Let me assure you it will be a long time again that I wander from Keto OMAD and my Fasting again.
That's great! I also dabble in iodine, eucalyptus Q-tipped around nostril, peppermint oil in ice water, cayenne, bone broth.
You really should tell them how to prepare the Raw Garlic so they waist to only smell.
I put that cayenne in both bone broth & lemon water.
Thanks！It's very useful ！ Happy New year！！！
Thank you Dr. Berg! This is very timely as I feel a cold trying to come on after feeling rundown from the busy-ness of the holidays. How much zinc should I take per day?
you are right on with this Dr.Berg. I just knew that you were going to say pure lemons and apple cider vinegar. I think that is why my sugar levels are great and I don't have urinary tract infections any more. Thank you so much for this much needed information.
Just got off work; exposed to lots of sick people so I immediately start mincing a garlic clove. Just seems to work for me. Going to buy lots of lemons too. Great info, Dr. Berg.
I love consuming high amounts of Mediterranean garlic sauce which consist of olive/grapeseed oil and a ton of garlic ,lemon and salt emulsified in a thick sauce
You are such an amazing human. Your videos are 100% beneficial. Always a pleasure to receive your advice. Thank you Doc and God bless. Much love.
Thank you so much! Very glad to be of help!
This is so SPOT ON 💯🔥
Thanks for giving a much important tips to reduce cold.
Phenomenal video!
Just in time! We were just around a lot of sick people. It just hit my 4 year old daughter (and I have a 2 month old baby in the house). We were already doing almost all of these remedies because we knew we would be exposed. Just learned about the zinc a few days ago. Hopefully we we're getting enough through the diet, but we'll definitely be upping it now! Very helpful information! Thank you! :)
Just found Dr Berg, I’m a new fan as I really believe in vitamins and treating the cause. Thank you
I have not been sick for 7 years since I started watching you! But the other day I got the flu! I started immediately doing all these things you suggested. Thanks! Although I take acv and lemon everyday anyway. And I put 2 tablespoons of acv and a whole lemon with peeling and I still got a cold! Not sure what happened? I never eat sweets.
Start a prolonged fast
Stop eating to get healing... how amazing is this and how opposite the knowledge that we were taught so far..
Thank you doctor , 'Happy New Year'
Great information!
I have found your u tubes videos related to health topics very helpful. Thank You ! Could you please explain what are intermittent fasting and keto diet ?
Son got the flu Friday, I had started my weekend fast already. Got to Sunday he woke up without fever. I was feeling fine. Ended 45 hour fast with lemon water while making meal, sat down to eat and hurt everywhere, 😂 Didn’t want to start fasting again so soon, but will probably eat again in a couple hours then go to bed until tomorrow.
I beat an oncoming cold the weekend before Christmas with EmergenC and REST. I was blessed to have days off. And I slept 12 hours for 3 nights and took EmergenC. I think rest is so key. I beat it!
This video Came to me at the correct time
Get well soon!
haha! same. It's like he can read your mind
Whoosh there it is a tone of great info. Cheers! I will do everything on here. I have a cold but not for long 🔥🚀
Thanks Eric ❤️👍
Hi Dr. Berg. One thing no one ever mentions is the automatic lack of interest in food when one gets sick. I noticed from my self that every time I do get sick(and it’s rare) I want nothing to do with food yet people who mean well are alway forcing you to eat( “you got to eat to get stronger”) What I understand is the fact that your body instinctively is forcing you to “intermittent fast” in order to concentrate on fighting off whatever it is that’s attacking. It wasn’t until we got the “co vid” that we were told that some of the symptoms are “loosing sense of taste and smell” everyone focused on that when in reality that happens with most sicknesses. It’s just it was never pointed out so we all think it’s “just part of co vid only”. After he ing the flu once and going to the doctor one should be knowledgeable enough for next time to be able to just stay home, sleep as much as your body wants, drink as much as your body wants, never take anything to suppress temperature and just let your body do what it needs to detox and no drugs. It will take some time and it varies depending on how much crap you have inside. No need to go to the doctor... except of course visit Dr. Berg on line for tips 😁
For me I find taking paracetamol immediately usually nullifies it and certainly makes any cold type symptoms last maximum one day. If feeling a bit heavy, I will simply hibernate for 12 hours and sweat it out. Pretty much doing 1-5 on this every week anyway, so can’t recall last time I got a proper cold. 👍🏻
THANK YOU DR BERG
Juiced a few oranges, added the juice to blender. A little cherry juice, almond milk, 4 raw eggs, spinach, cinnamon. Feel great since doing so. Also had ginger tea with honey and lemon and purple raw garlic with peanut butter periodically throughout the day.
Also had some sardines and a few Brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds. I imagine all of this helped expect maybe the almond milk and peanut butter. Peanut butter was just to mask the taste of raw garlic.
Great tips. L-lysine is also important for any viral issue, as it prevents viruses from re-producing. Stay well!
I thought it only worked against the herpes virus.

Another great video by Dr Berg. There has been numerous talks the last few years concerning human blood types. Some researchers claim that blood types define your dietary habits and nutritional requirements. Are these claims true.? How can we take our blood type into consideration when deciding on our diet of choice?
I gargled with peroxide and used sterile saline nasal rinses followed by a warm salt water gargle. Worked so well! Sore throat was only an irritation lasted a half an hour. And zinc and vitamin c.
Hydrogen peroxide in the ear works in minutes. Best sinus cure ever.
How do you take it?
Gillian Stewart , Hi, Dr mercola says 3 drops in each ear.
Bleaching the inside of your ears to cure a cold? I’d like to see the science behind that 😆
Hydrogen peroxide H2O2 kills germs, and after it loses the oxygen on the bacteria, the remainder becomes water H2O. You can see for yourself if you have a sinus issue start on say you right side, the hydrogen peroxide will bubble much more in that right ear. I use the spray, it's easier, and just fill up your ear canal. Itll take more than 3 drops to get way in there. Let it bubble for maybe 3 minutes. You will hear when it subsides like when popcorn is done in the microwave. I've never gotten a good explanation why it works, but it does a great job. Doesnt hurt at all, just cold at first. Obviously dont use if you have an open wound, it would be painful.
agree
Thanks bro, I love you!
Thanks doc. Love you dearly ❣️
Berg you are the man!
This may be off topic but decided to ask anyway. Here are a couple questions that I'm certain, many other people would like to know the answer to. I take supplements B1, B12, omega3, tumeric, berberine, magnesium, potassium, B complex, D3, K, zinc, coq10, grape seed extract, apple cider vinegar, probiotic, cayenne, garlic oil and a Multi Vitamin. If I went to look at the bottles, there are probably some that I forgot to mention. #1- Does taking all of these suppliments together, cause a ineffectiveness of some of them? It seems that if they hit the system close together, they would turn into a concoction of who knows what. With the cost of supplements, I'm hardly able to afford my one meal a day. #2- Will the Multi Vitamin be good enough to not need to take most of these suppliments? I've always questioned the effectiveness of multi vitamins. Mostly due to finding it hard to believe that there is enough of the different vitamins in them to be in one pill.
@@paolac.1678 I don't think that I will ever get a good answer to the question. I just take the water soluble vitamins with water and the fat soluble vitamins with my MCT coffee and hope for the best. I have thought about buying a expensive multivitamin made with whole ingredients rather than synthetic to bypass most of them. But, I still can't see how it's possible to get enough of all the vitamins in one pill, even if they are somehow highly concentrated. Seems like a huge gimmick. I went ahead and counted them all and have 20 suppliments, so I almost thought of them all. I may need to start eating once every three months due to not being able to afford food. I forgot about MCT and virgin coconut oil. That's not too cheap either. Then there is the price of pink sea salt and "No Salt" for electrolytes.
@@gyrospinup Food-based supplements are superior in their ability to work synergistcally. You have likely answered your own question. Indeed more expensive, but better assimilated with a few exceptions. Dr. Berg also speaks about this. I see that your post is almost a year old. Wishing you the best of health.
Superman ingredients! thank you!
Thank you doc!! This is very timely as I have cough, colds and sorethroat. 😅🤧😓
Thank you
Another Great Video... Keep them coming I'm addicted :))
I love this. Do you have any recommendations for the stomach flu or other illnesses besides a cold?
essential oil of wild oregano mecical grade caspules 80% carvacrol nano silver , red propolis of brazil what do you want exacly?
Excellent
For me, drinking alcohol strongly correlates with initial cold onset. I can be in the same household with two other folks who have colds, and on the evening that I drink 2 to 3 beers, that’s when I catch it.
Perhaps better stated, that’s when I activate the virus that’s already in me.
Same 😢
THANKS A LOT DR BERG!!!♡♡♡♡
I like this guy's channel he's so smart what a great doctor 👍👍
Drinking chicken bullion really helps me! Lemon and tea help me with garlic and cinnamon too but I'm going to try the apple cider vinegar. Lots of sleep. Thanks for video. So much great information!
I swab my nostrils with sesame oil (I use Spectrum brand) at the first tingle in the nose or other sign of cold/flu coming on. The oil doesn't allow bacteria or virus to grow. I also drink a tablespoonful and swab my ears with it. All symptoms are gone by morning. As Dr. Berg says, stopping it at the very beginning is key!
I am going through some kind of adult EBV infection... and man it is kicking my butt. It all started... as Dr. Berg always points out... at a time of extreme stress. It really sucks so bad and the problem with EBV is it can last a looooooooooooooooooong time. Not sure what to do. I have to work. Thank GOD I get a week off next week. I will try to sleep and rest and pray and not let myself go crazy from the anxiety of dealing with this. The sad part is that the constant symptoms just end up giving me more anxiety than I really should be having. God help all of us. AMEN!
Thanks very much for this piece of advice, soo good.
God bless ❤
I'm glad you liked this post.
Yes, true and thank you Dr. Berg!
Most welcome!
Dr. Berg I'd be fascinated to hear your views on dry fasting.
Here is a quick disclaimer for those who never read the description box: If you struggle with low blood pressure, aka hypotension, garlic and even lemons in any form will have an immediate and significant effect on your blood pressure. So, be careful if your blood pressure is already low. You can lower your blood pressure naturally via certain food, herbs, and even exercise.
I have always struggled with low blood P. These things all help me
