I support all that you mention in your video and have done extensive research myself and I share the info - the rest is for them to decide. I don’t force anyone AND more importantly, I never share or suggest something that I haven’t tried and proven true. We have managed to reverse my young son’s Crohn’s disease naturally after 4!years of tears, ignorance, trial and error to knowing what I’m doing - My kitchen became a lab and my beautiful son was my sweet little mouse… I have become a bone broth and queen! Always have it on hand, I know my supplements, minerals, amino acids, vitamins, etc. I am on board with berberine - definitely worth a try! People have to know that it is not immediate definitely give it at least two weeks before you start seeing or feeling a difference. And then always make sure that you know why you’re taking it this way you can track your progress. Thank you for a lovely complete and I will quit video! I am now following you!
@@limaalexander1460 Thank you for your reply. Bone broth is another wonderful thing for health. We had a German Sheppard I used to make bone broth for and put it in her food. She lived to be 18!!! I decided if it kept her going, I would feed it to myself!! It is great!! Now we have a 15 yo cocker, and she still plays with the younger dogs. Hope it works as well for me. I am a real believer.
I knew about the tea due to Earl Gray and how my husband liked this, but didn't realize even though I went back and from Italy growing up to visit family, about this until now, you shed light for me and my husband and I have been trying to find a way to build up brown fat, we didn't know this would help, we thought I would have to take cold freezing showers to reach that point, because building up to menopause at an earlier age I gained so much weight and bloating. Thank you SO MUCH for this, sending prayers for continued hard workin helping people like me. Would love to meet you, anyway thank you again!!
You mention " antibacterial " but you might add , or change that term or thought to "anti parasitic" as it is antibacterial, antifungal , antiviral and works against larger entities.

Thank you for this amazing information, actually I have never heard about it. But after knowing that, I will definitely look for it. Thank you again for your time and support.
I have tried out a lot of different supplements and have recently added Berberine 500mg which had amazing effects within 2 days. The rest of my stack is Omega 3 capsules with 50 micro each of D3+K2, Quercetin 500mg and Cordyceps Sinensis C4 extract 1g. When I need a quick boost of focus, I occasionally use Ginkgo, Ginseng and Wormwood extracts. When I get anything serious enough to need a stronger antibiotic effect, I use olive leaf extract (which you can also add to water for your plants to defeat infections). I hope these bits of info are useful to somebody :)
I took Berberine and suffered the most horrific gut pain. I stopped the product and months later tried again hoping it was just a bug I had and it was nothing but three days of excruciating pain again. I think everyone who suffers stomach issues should be very very cautious or avoid berberine all together.
H Cleveland, suspect G M Os when gut pain, I'm using the Natural Grocers brand of Berberine for that reason, with no negative reaction, on a very sensitive stomach.
Same here. Berberine caused such extreme constipation it took at least 3 months to get my body back to a regular cycle. As with everything else, everyone’s body is different & does not react the same to things.
Barberry is put on rice in persian culture for so many years now. I guess it meant to lower the sugar level (caused by Carbohydrate) in rice beside looking pretty.
Barberry is not the same as Berberine. And Berberine does not work for everybody..as it did nothing to improve my blood sugar. Also..Persians have a very high rate of type 2 diabetes..so the barberry is only used for flavor and color on the rice..such as saffron..and not to lower blood sugar.
@@Nightbird. When I looked it up it said it is Zereshk so maybe Wikipedia has mentioned its from the same family if not zereshk itself. It does work different for people though I agree. Thanks for the info. 🙏🏽
@@nimatalebi2659 I sincerely wish there was something that helps Persians in their food to avoid diabetes..but so many of my Persian friends and family members suffer from it that I'm afraid it isn't so. Nothing would make me happier than to be able to eat lots of Persian rice daily without worrying about making my diabetes worst..but I know doing that would kill me.
@@nimatalebi2659 I also went Keto/Low-Carb but my goodness..I am so bored with just eating meat, fish, fat and low starch vegetables! I have so many spices for them..but it always feels like the same thing. I love diversity in food..so while this diet is helping my type 2 diabetes..it is killing my spirit. 😕
I just started berberine 3 weeks ago High blood sugars. I am trying to get off metformin and other meds. I have cut my metformin in half and cut out my BP med already. Feel better in my body already. May add a 3rd berberine eventually. Statred with one and past 5 days take 2. Its amazing.
I first heard about Berberine on a commercial, by a famous plastic surgeon in Bev Hills. Now, seems everyone's talking about it! Guess the secrets out, Lol. Love your informative videos! Ty!!
Thank you! And you are right...about Berberine - all the rage but it's been Naomi's secret for a long time...to learn more here is a great article by Naomi: www.naomiwhittel.com/?s=Berberine ~ Naomi's Care Team
Great Video, very good explanation with many health benefits of Barberine, people need to know about it. Question, I am wondering if Barberine can cure cystic Acne ?
I’m just learning about berberine and I was fortunate to find it at my local pharmacy. My goals are to reduce inflammation I feel daily within my body. Three years ago I had a copper IUD for 3 months. It was the worst and most regretted decision I have ever made. I haven’t been able to find a solution to help me. I’m starting my berberine journey today and I hope it helps me in a positive way
C GrayGirl, I had miracles from doing 3.5 months on FlorEssence Tea. It strips heavy metals and pesticides . I lost 13 or 14 diseases. Went from 2 hours a day , up, to 12-14 hours a day up, sandwiched with short rests. My Lupus left after also dropping all G M Os and doing 6 weeks strict keto (kills parasites). I dropped coffee that 6 weeks, and periodically later.
Lovely video content! Sorry for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Franaar Quit Diabetes Formula (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for Getting rid of Diabetes minus the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got cool success with it.
I have noticed that taking a 'whole herb' rather than an extract can be so beneficial. There are often co factors that work synergistically within that herb to increase its effectiveness and safety. So, I would like to know which whole herb has the largest amount of bio- available Berberine. I would like to try it in that form.
I know this video is old but I am hoping I can get a couple of questions answered. 1. Is there a recommendation for what brand works best? Can it be made naturally at home such as finding those particular plants and making an oil or extract? And finally I noticed you mentioned that your children take it as well. I have a 12 year old granddaughter that is very obese. Nothing seems to be helping her with a jumpstart to reduce the weight and Food cravings. Her lab work does not indicate diabetes at this moment but diabetes is a family trait. She is however showing some of the discoloration of the skin on her neck that I have heard is a precursor to diabetes. And her lab did indicate her triglycerides elevated for a child her age. She is 12 years old, about 5”4 and about 220+ lbs. she worked hard for awhile only to show weight gain rather than loss in a 6 wk goal period. She became very disappointed and stopped trying. I was hoping that this could give her a jumpstart to make way for confidence. If she could lose at least 30lbs in 6 months with diet and exercise along with this I feel she could keep going. It will help her self esteem if nothing else. We love our bodies and no shame about who we are but I’m worried about the health aspect both physically and mentally. I may be wrong about it but I just don’t agree in telling young boys and girls that it’s ok to be overweight and to love your body like it is. It’s like telling a drug addict that it’s ok to do drugs as long as you are happy. I mean we don’t have to fit a Barbie doll mold but we do need to educate and help encourage good health. I myself have type 2 diabetes so I’m definitely getting some for me. I can’t tolerate the metforman. Dr has me taking 5 different types of diabetic drugs. I just can’t bring myself to it. I feel worse taking those drugs than I do not. I think it’s all a hype anyway. I mean they say I have to eat 30g of carbs every meal! I can’t do that. I asked why they say because of the medication. I’m like ok so how about I don’t take the meds so I won’t have to eat that many carbs. I have seen first hand how the drugs keep a person enslaved to the meds by my brother. He is bedridden now because of them. He went downhill every since he started on insulin. Anyway sorry for the long post and if you give me a few answers that would be great. Thank you.
I wish people would call diabetes what it used to be called sugar diabetes start there not one vitamin or mineral in a spoon of sugar or white flour the FDA is to blame for this illness because they want to sell a drug with side effects people wake up shop the perimeter of your grocery store leave off the potatoes carrots and corn all sugar stay away from the boxes and packages and your sugars will go down your fat will release from the fat cells the cravings will go away the yeast will die off from our intestines Ketogenic diet is the way to go look up Dr Eric Westmen and Dr Jason Fung and thank me in three months
Type 2 diabetes is not inherited! The reason type 2 diabetes runs in families is because the entire family eats the same. They eat way too much of the wrong foods. Figure out the number of calories for your granddaughters ideal weight and get her on a healthy diet of whole foods at a slight deficit. Cut the wheat ( bread and pasta), potatoes and rice and increase her protein . Measure and weigh and track everything she eats, drink lots of water and exercise. Build and protect muscle mass. If she does this she will lose weight. Any diet that promotes fast weight loss is going to jeopardize muscle, her health and long term goals. She has been putting on this extra weight for a decade, it will take time to reach her goal but every month she will look and feel a little better. Also, limit time with tv, and electronics. Good luck
That's an absolutely disgraceful weight for a child or even an adult.. sit on the bed and have a conversation with yourself, be honest, tell yourself where you're going wrong. Then take that child and give her the guidance she craves, demonstrate your own ability to change. If you can't you clearly have some mental disorder or on the spectrum... If so, get the help you need, stop blaming others and grab life by the scruff of the neck.... This is it! This is not a rehearsal, it's the only time you will EVER exist EVER, live healthier and make a difference. Join a community, go low carb or carnivore, stop relying on herbs for the answers. Kick your food addiction by not buying the crap in the first place, start cooking properly, teach your daughter to cook. Don't be a pathetic person, I feel sorry for you... Get the help to help yourself otherwise you and your daughter will be another sad statistic of life.
Naomi, you are the loveliest woman on TH-cam, and I am grateful for your work, but while you indicated that Berberine brought changes to you within the first two days of using it you never told us what those personal changes are. Perhaps you can do a follow-up video? Thanks for all. Herb S.
You mentioned you take it after a meal. I've been taking it 30 minutes before a meal but maybe I should switch to after. Also, is that immediately after the meal? Thanks!
Berberine made me VERY SICK. I took it for 2 months, 1 capsule a day & then what seemed like out of nowhere it reacted badly with my body. It caused extreme stomach pain, painfully swollen intestine & I felt SO unwell. I wasn’t sure what it was, so i had to test to find out the cause. After removing & adding it back, I found the problem! I looked online & quite a few people can have THIS reaction! PLEASE PLEASE be Careful with this Supplement!
Same thing happened to me. Took 500mg Berberine Hcl 3x a day for 2-3 wks. I had a very bad reaction in my gut - extreme bloating & diarrhoea after a meal (esp if oily food intake) like i had to run to the toilet. 😩 I stopped taking it and now feeling better after 2 weeks. I’m thinking of reintroducing it without my green banana resistant starch powder this time. Hope my gut can tolerate it this time, 🤞
Naomi, I’m taking your supplements now. I tried to write messages to your company. My question is, what supplement helps stops coughing after heartburn and sometimes just out of a whim?
Is it ok to take while pregnant/breastfeeding? My baby is a year old, I was going to try it before pregnancy, yet didn’t just to be safe. If it works, Bub might have a brother or sister in a couple of years time, so just want to check.
I’ve been thinking about taking berberine for years. The anti-bacterial properties were all I knew about, and I’ve been using other natural options for that. Now that I know about the blood sugar and brown fat effects, I’m definitely gonna try it.
I clicked on this video because I am very interested in the antibacterial qualities of berberine. I suffer from distended bladder and require self catherization 4 times daily. Due to this, my UTI risk is greater. My urine is very alkaline at the moment and recently tested positive for citrobacter freundii bacteria in my bladder. From the information I've gathered so far, berberine helps keep harmful bacteria from sticking to the bladder walls and ureters. Your information was very insightful in explaining many of the health benefits of this amazing alkaloid, so thank you. I wish you and others good health.
Daniel Mitton ,would you be strong to try garlic honey mix .It might help a lot .thare both anti bacterial ,and anti viral anti fungi.Do research but I know together they are a natural anti biotic.
Also, d-mannose in natural cranberries/juice (with NO added sugar) helps as well. It's the most bitter tasting stuff, but you must get the one with no sugars. I believe the generic or organic ones only have 8-9g/sugar in each glass, not like the typical 26+grams in each glass. You'll know you have the right one not only by reading the label, but when your taste buds make your mouth & face scrunch up as if you're sucking on a lemon🍋. Cheers to you! 😉
You have bacteria thriving on alkaline urine. Which is the opposite of what most ppl with UTIS have. My diet is rich in just about everything suggested, nothing helps if you can't keep your urine acidic. You have got to suffocate those fckrs or they will keep coming back. Dmannose gave me the worst stomach issues but I was so desperate, going to the bathroom 70 times a day, sometimes crawling to it, that I kept with it. Didn't help but it does help a ton of ppl who experience no side effects. I am so damn healthy my doctors never thought alkaline urine was an issue. 5 years of a living hell of pain, kidney damage and chronic kidney stones. 5 years of my life lost. I finally knew I had an infection when the stones came back twice as struvite, aka, infection stones. 2 rounds of antibiotics destroyed me, still healing. Was going to take months of abx to get rid of the infection, I said no way. I found l-methionine, vets use it for struvite stones, and it's natural so your doctors either won't tell you because it's not a drug or flat out don't know it exist. 2 months stone and pain free. I was sobbing the other night realizing I was on the verge of being able to live again. Doctors nearly killed me. I'm not dead because I have been researching everything and anything I could get my hands on to try and find a way to heal over these 5 years. Good luck. I bought Bulk Supplements, a cheap huge bag that will last forever. It's an sulfur amino acid which has a ton of benefits, hoping it helps with CFS, post viral, 20 years and counting. I also recently started taking Berberine. Not sure if it's helping but it's not hurting me so I'll keep at it and see if I notice any benefits.
Daniel Mitton, 2 things, D-Mannose not diluted with cranberry is 5 times as effective as other. One friend tried one daily and it ended constant infections. Many of us do 4 caps every 4 hours at first symptom of infection, through 2 days past symptoms. You must do the 2 days after. And the Superior Source brand of FOLIC ACID, 3 under the tongue, will close the sphincter to the bladder, may need some dose 2x daily because it is water soluble. This stops some people from getting any more infections. Some are doing much better after adding Raw Apple Cider Vinegar 2 Tablespoons in water daily. G o d Bless
Naomi, for those who've complained about berberine making them sick, have you tried or recommended dihydroberberine? Hard to find but much better in digestion.
Depends on the brand as well. Paradise Herbs makes great products that don't give me negative effects like some others I have tried, including quercetin.
@@lukeweaver9287 Very true, buying from a brand that is well know and produces top notch supplements is good. I personally use Solaray. Don't buy the $6 per bottle stuff you can maybe find at Walmart.
Did anyone experience spotting with berberine or having an additional cycle 2 weeks after your normal cycle. Im not irregular I am taking berberine to increase insulin sensitivity.

I recently discovered berberine and am glad you did this video for others.
I am unable to remember who or how I learned of Berberine but I am sure glad I did. Everything this lady says about Berberine has been my experience.
I had cancer. (I hope past tense). In the past year, I went vegan, intermittent fasting 18:6, do prolonged fasts of 48-72 hours 1-2 times a month.

Was exercising everyday, but I have metatarsal, so can't walk as much. My tests so far have come back clear. MRI and CAT-scan, clear. However, my WBC, white blood cells, have tanked for the first time to 2300. This has never happened before and the only thing that I've done differently in the past month and a half is not long fast.

Always have it on hand, I know my supplements, minerals, amino acids, vitamins, etc. I am on board with berberine - definitely worth a try! People have to know that it is not immediate definitely give it at least two weeks before you start seeing or feeling a difference. And then always make sure that you know why you’re taking it this way you can track your progress. Thank you for a lovely complete and I will quit video! I am now following you!
Thank you for watching Julie and for your message! Glad to have you! ~ Naomi's Care Team
What helped your son specifically??
Please you have contact details? im looking at improving my crohns
Very good advise.....thank you.
@@limaalexander1460 Thank you for your reply. Bone broth is another wonderful thing for health. We had a German Sheppard I used to make bone broth for and put it in her food. She lived to be 18!!! I decided if it kept her going, I would feed it to myself!! It is great!! Now we have a 15 yo cocker, and she still plays with the younger dogs. Hope it works as well for me. I am a real believer.
I knew about the tea due to Earl Gray and how my husband liked this, but didn't realize even though I went back and from Italy growing up to visit family, about this until now, you shed light for me and my husband and I have been trying to find a way to build up brown fat, we didn't know this would help, we thought I would have to take cold freezing showers to reach that point, because building up to menopause at an earlier age I gained so much weight and bloating. Thank you SO MUCH for this, sending prayers for continued hard workin helping people like me. Would love to meet you, anyway thank you again!!
You mention " antibacterial " but you might add , or change that term or thought to "anti parasitic" as it is antibacterial, antifungal , antiviral and works against larger entities.
My holistic doctor recommended this for me. Can't wait to try it.
Thank you for sharing. Been taking Berberine for 18 months. It's made so much difference to my health
Can this be taken long term ?
@@balusr you should take it for two to three months then off one month.
Love it, my dad got our family on this, thanks for your continued amazing info.

While I'm a fan of Berberine, I watched for the pretty woman. Wisely, you kept the camera on the money. Glad I watched. Thank you.
Just started taking this three days ago. 500 mg three times a day. The bottle I have instructs to take on empty stomach.
Thank you for this amazing information, actually I have never heard about it. But after knowing that, I will definitely look for it. Thank you again for your time and support.
Thank you for watching! It's my pleasure to share this info.
I clicked on this video for all of the above. Thank you for sharing this valuable information.
Thank you for truth telling. Will start Berberine today!
I have tried out a lot of different supplements and have recently added Berberine 500mg which had amazing effects within 2 days. The rest of my stack is Omega 3 capsules with 50 micro each of D3+K2, Quercetin 500mg and Cordyceps Sinensis C4 extract 1g. When I need a quick boost of focus, I occasionally use Ginkgo, Ginseng and Wormwood extracts. When I get anything serious enough to need a stronger antibiotic effect, I use olive leaf extract (which you can also add to water for your plants to defeat infections). I hope these bits of info are useful to somebody :)
I took Berberine and suffered the most horrific gut pain. I stopped the product and months later tried again hoping it was just a bug I had and it was nothing but three days of excruciating pain again. I think everyone who suffers stomach issues should be very very cautious or avoid berberine
all together.
I happens to me also.
Could be the brand. I have had bad reactions to some supplements and tried in a different brand with no issue.
H Cleveland, suspect G M Os when gut pain, I'm using the Natural Grocers brand of Berberine for that reason, with no negative reaction, on a very sensitive stomach.
Same here. Berberine caused such extreme constipation it took at least 3 months to get my body back to a regular cycle. As with everything else, everyone’s body is different & does not react the same to things.
I love Berberine. It’s helped me immensely.
Do u take breaks from berberine?
Barberry is put on rice in persian culture for so many years now. I guess it meant to lower the sugar level (caused by Carbohydrate) in rice beside looking pretty.
Barberry is not the same as Berberine. And Berberine does not work for everybody..as it did nothing to improve my blood sugar. Also..Persians have a very high rate of type 2 diabetes..so the barberry is only used for flavor and color on the rice..such as saffron..and not to lower blood sugar.
@@Nightbird. When I looked it up it said it is Zereshk so maybe Wikipedia has mentioned its from the same family if not zereshk itself. It does work different for people though I agree. Thanks for the info. 🙏🏽
@@nimatalebi2659 I sincerely wish there was something that helps Persians in their food to avoid diabetes..but so many of my Persian friends and family members suffer from it that I'm afraid it isn't so. Nothing would make me happier than to be able to eat lots of Persian rice daily without worrying about making my diabetes worst..but I know doing that would kill me.
@@Nightbird. Oh man thats why i went Keto all together and fixed everything. high sugar and high Carb is whats wrong with Persian food :)
@@nimatalebi2659 I also went Keto/Low-Carb but my goodness..I am so bored with just eating meat, fish, fat and low starch vegetables! I have so many spices for them..but it always feels like the same thing. I love diversity in food..so while this diet is helping my type 2 diabetes..it is killing my spirit. 😕
I love you so much!!! Thank you for all the amazing knowledge Naomi!!!
I just started berberine 3 weeks ago
High blood sugars. I am trying to get off metformin and other meds. I have cut my metformin in half and cut out my BP med already. Feel better in my body already. May add a 3rd berberine
eventually. Statred with one and past 5 days take 2. Its amazing.
Your videos or maybe your voice just calms me 🥰
I first heard about Berberine on a commercial, by a famous plastic surgeon in Bev Hills. Now, seems everyone's talking about it! Guess the secrets out, Lol. Love your informative videos! Ty!!
Thank you! And you are right...about Berberine - all the rage but it's been Naomi's secret for a long time...to learn more here is a great article by Naomi: www.naomiwhittel.com/?s=Berberine ~ Naomi's Care Team
Great Video, very good explanation with many health benefits of Barberine, people need to know about it. Question, I am wondering if Barberine can cure cystic Acne ?
Look into information about Dandelion tea and greens for cystic acne. I heard it works wonders!
Thank you for the great info! Can you please recomand a particular berberine product that you use and love? Cheers ❤
Cholesterol lowering is not a benefit, this myth that cholesterol is bad keeps prevailing. LDL is in fact considered to improve longevity.
I’m just learning about berberine and I was fortunate to find it at my local pharmacy. My goals are to reduce inflammation I feel daily within my body. Three years ago I had a copper IUD for 3 months. It was the worst and most regretted decision I have ever made. I haven’t been able to find a solution to help me. I’m starting my berberine journey today and I hope it helps me in a positive way
C GrayGirl, I had miracles from doing 3.5 months on FlorEssence Tea. It strips heavy metals and pesticides . I lost 13 or 14 diseases. Went from 2 hours a day , up, to 12-14 hours a day up, sandwiched with short rests. My Lupus left after also dropping all G M Os and doing 6 weeks strict keto (kills parasites). I dropped coffee that 6 weeks, and periodically later.
I've never even heard of berberine. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching, Alex!
Lovely video content! Sorry for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Franaar Quit Diabetes Formula (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for Getting rid of Diabetes minus the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got cool success with it.
I have noticed that taking a 'whole herb' rather than an extract can be so beneficial. There are often co factors that work synergistically within that herb to increase its effectiveness and safety. So, I would like to know which whole herb has the largest amount of bio- available Berberine. I would like to try it in that form.
Berberine is a great addition to a stack of longevity supplements.
I know this video is old but I am hoping I can get a couple of questions answered. 1. Is there a recommendation for what brand works best? Can it be made naturally at home such as finding those particular plants and making an oil or extract? And finally I noticed you mentioned that your children take it as well. I have a 12 year old granddaughter that is very obese. Nothing seems to be helping her with a jumpstart to reduce the weight and Food cravings. Her lab work does not indicate diabetes at this moment but diabetes is a family trait. She is however showing some of the discoloration of the skin on her neck that I have heard is a precursor to diabetes. And her lab did indicate her triglycerides elevated for a child her age. She is 12 years old, about 5”4 and about 220+ lbs. she worked hard for awhile only to show weight gain rather than loss in a 6 wk goal period. She became very disappointed and stopped trying. I was hoping that this could give her a jumpstart to make way for confidence. If she could lose at least 30lbs in 6 months with diet and exercise along with this I feel she could keep going. It will help her self esteem if nothing else. We love our bodies and no shame about who we are but I’m worried about the health aspect both physically and mentally. I may be wrong about it but I just don’t agree in telling young boys and girls that it’s ok to be overweight and to love your body like it is. It’s like telling a drug addict that it’s ok to do drugs as long as you are happy. I mean we don’t have to fit a Barbie doll mold but we do need to educate and help encourage good health. I myself have type 2 diabetes so I’m definitely getting some for me. I can’t tolerate the metforman. Dr has me taking 5 different types of diabetic drugs. I just can’t bring myself to it. I feel worse taking those drugs than I do not. I think it’s all a hype anyway. I mean they say I have to eat 30g of carbs every meal! I can’t do that. I asked why they say because of the medication. I’m like ok so how about I don’t take the meds so I won’t have to eat that many carbs. I have seen first hand how the drugs keep a person enslaved to the meds by my brother. He is bedridden now because of them. He went downhill every since he started on insulin. Anyway sorry for the long post and if you give me a few answers that would be great. Thank you.
Also do some bloodtest and check her thyroid and sleep.
You are what you eat. Look at a Keto diet and NAC can help with addiction to food.
I wish people would call diabetes what it used to be called sugar diabetes start there not one vitamin or mineral in a spoon of sugar or white flour the FDA is to blame for this illness because they want to sell a drug with side effects people wake up shop the perimeter of your grocery store leave off the potatoes carrots and corn all sugar stay away from the boxes and packages and your sugars will go down your fat will release from the fat cells the cravings will go away the yeast will die off from our intestines Ketogenic diet is the way to go look up Dr Eric Westmen and Dr Jason Fung and thank me in three months
Type 2 diabetes is not inherited! The reason type 2 diabetes runs in families is because the entire family eats the same. They eat way too much of the wrong foods.
Figure out the number of calories for your granddaughters ideal weight and get her on a healthy diet of whole foods at a slight deficit. Cut the wheat ( bread and pasta), potatoes and rice and increase her protein .
Measure and weigh and track everything she eats, drink lots of water and exercise.
Build and protect muscle mass.
If she does this she will lose weight.
Any diet that promotes fast weight loss is going to jeopardize muscle, her health and long term goals. She has been putting on this extra weight for a decade, it will take time to reach her goal but every month she will look and feel a little better.
Also, limit time with tv, and electronics. Good luck
That's an absolutely disgraceful weight for a child or even an adult.. sit on the bed and have a conversation with yourself, be honest, tell yourself where you're going wrong. Then take that child and give her the guidance she craves, demonstrate your own ability to change. If you can't you clearly have some mental disorder or on the spectrum... If so, get the help you need, stop blaming others and grab life by the scruff of the neck.... This is it! This is not a rehearsal, it's the only time you will EVER exist EVER, live healthier and make a difference. Join a community, go low carb or carnivore, stop relying on herbs for the answers. Kick your food addiction by not buying the crap in the first place, start cooking properly, teach your daughter to cook. Don't be a pathetic person, I feel sorry for you... Get the help to help yourself otherwise you and your daughter will be another sad statistic of life.

Hi beta simp.
Get your head out of the gutter.
Serious topic going on here....
What name brand do you trust
berberine made my stomach hurt so bad! any tips?
A great break down!! 👌🏾👍🏾🇬🇧
Lovely Lady!
Well explained... thank you
Very nice video. Thanks.
Please I need To Know How I can Found The Berberine Please Thanks 🙏
You mentioned you take it after a meal. I've been taking it 30 minutes before a meal but maybe I should switch to after. Also, is that immediately after the meal? Thanks!
Which brand mostly working well?
Which brand is the best to take
Am going to look for it !!
Amazon or the vitamin shoppe
Berberine made me VERY SICK. I took it for 2 months, 1 capsule a day & then what seemed like out of nowhere it reacted badly with my body. It caused extreme stomach pain, painfully swollen intestine & I felt SO unwell. I wasn’t sure what it was, so i had to test to find out the cause. After removing & adding it back, I found the problem! I looked online & quite a few people can have THIS reaction! PLEASE PLEASE be Careful with this Supplement!
How much did you take at a time?
Same thing happened to me. Took 500mg Berberine Hcl 3x a day for 2-3 wks. I had a very bad reaction in my gut - extreme bloating & diarrhoea after a meal (esp if oily food intake) like i had to run to the toilet. 😩 I stopped taking it and now feeling better after 2 weeks. I’m thinking of reintroducing it without my green banana resistant starch powder this time. Hope my gut can tolerate it this time, 🤞
@@lenigirl8789why did you take it three times a day? I was told to take 500mg once a day.
Berberine got rid of a viral infection I had
Which one?
Naomi, I’m taking your supplements now. I tried to write messages to your company. My question is, what supplement helps stops coughing after heartburn and sometimes just out of a whim?
Most recommend to take it 30 minutes before a meal.
Are there not side effects with Children
Can you tell us some name brands or where to buy it at that's not online I'm a truck driver
Thank u for sharing
Thanks for This information and I look for information how I Can order Berberine Thanks God Bless You
Best Berberine supplement on the market and why, thanks!
I like your video
I've heard it can help lower Ldl cholesterol..is that right?
How to order berberrine pls
Thank you
I am using the powder of the bark of berberis vulgaris with boiling water.
Have it the same effect and what's the good dose if so ?
So should I stop taking metformin and taking berberine?
Check with your Doctor. If you have diabetes, please DO NOT take both.
Dial anti-bacterial soap helps sooo much. Gets rid of pink eye and acne. Why would t you want it? What about during COVID? No hand sanitizer???
Do you still take this supplement?
Is it ok to take while pregnant/breastfeeding?
My baby is a year old, I was going to try it before pregnancy, yet didn’t just to be safe.
If it works, Bub might have a brother or sister in a couple of years time, so just want to check.
My mom 75 can she used it s diabetes sugar always high an she is cold always
I started yesterday.
All thanks to Dr Aluda on TH-cam, for using his holistic supplement to shrink my Fibroid, painful periods , heavy periods and infertility..
I’ve been thinking about taking berberine for years. The anti-bacterial properties were all I knew about, and I’ve been using other natural options for that. Now that I know about the blood sugar and brown fat effects, I’m definitely gonna try it.

Thank yo so much.
I clicked on this video because I am very interested in the antibacterial qualities of berberine. I suffer from distended bladder and require self catherization 4 times daily. Due to this, my UTI risk is greater. My urine is very alkaline at the moment and recently tested positive for citrobacter freundii bacteria in my bladder. From the information I've gathered so far, berberine helps keep harmful bacteria from sticking to the bladder walls and ureters. Your information was very insightful in explaining many of the health benefits of this amazing alkaloid, so thank you. I wish you and others good health.
Daniel Mitton ,would you be strong to try garlic honey mix .It might help a lot .thare both anti bacterial ,and anti viral anti fungi.Do research but I know together they are a natural anti biotic.
Also, d-mannose in natural cranberries/juice (with NO added sugar) helps as well. It's the most bitter tasting stuff, but you must get the one with no sugars. I believe the generic or organic ones only have 8-9g/sugar in each glass, not like the typical 26+grams in each glass. You'll know you have the right one not only by reading the label, but when your taste buds make your mouth & face scrunch up as if you're sucking on a lemon🍋. Cheers to you! 😉
You have bacteria thriving on alkaline urine. Which is the opposite of what most ppl with UTIS have. My diet is rich in just about everything suggested, nothing helps if you can't keep your urine acidic. You have got to suffocate those fckrs or they will keep coming back. Dmannose gave me the worst stomach issues but I was so desperate, going to the bathroom 70 times a day, sometimes crawling to it, that I kept with it. Didn't help but it does help a ton of ppl who experience no side effects. I am so damn healthy my doctors never thought alkaline urine was an issue. 5 years of a living hell of pain, kidney damage and chronic kidney stones. 5 years of my life lost. I finally knew I had an infection when the stones came back twice as struvite, aka, infection stones. 2 rounds of antibiotics destroyed me, still healing. Was going to take months of abx to get rid of the infection, I said no way. I found l-methionine, vets use it for struvite stones, and it's natural so your doctors either won't tell you because it's not a drug or flat out don't know it exist. 2 months stone and pain free. I was sobbing the other night realizing I was on the verge of being able to live again. Doctors nearly killed me. I'm not dead because I have been researching everything and anything I could get my hands on to try and find a way to heal over these 5 years. Good luck. I bought Bulk Supplements, a cheap huge bag that will last forever. It's an sulfur amino acid which has a ton of benefits, hoping it helps with CFS, post viral, 20 years and counting. I also recently started taking Berberine. Not sure if it's helping but it's not hurting me so I'll keep at it and see if I notice any benefits.
I use to get frequent UTIs but a Dr. recommended 2 Flax seed oil capsules once a day. It works/ 2 years no more!💕
Daniel Mitton, 2 things, D-Mannose not diluted with cranberry is 5 times as effective as other. One friend tried one daily and it ended constant infections. Many of us do 4 caps every 4 hours at first symptom of infection, through 2 days past symptoms. You must do the 2 days after. And the Superior Source brand of FOLIC ACID, 3 under the tongue, will close the sphincter to the bladder, may need some dose 2x daily because it is water soluble. This stops some people from getting any more infections. Some are doing much better after adding Raw Apple Cider Vinegar 2 Tablespoons in water daily. G o d Bless
Can you take this long term?
Naomi, for those who've complained about berberine making them sick, have you tried or recommended dihydroberberine? Hard to find but much better in digestion.
Try Genius Blood Sugar
Depends on the brand as well. Paradise Herbs makes great products that don't give me negative effects like some others I have tried, including quercetin.
@@lukeweaver9287 Very true, buying from a brand that is well know and produces top notch supplements is good. I personally use Solaray. Don't buy the $6 per bottle stuff you can maybe find at Walmart.
@@lukeweaver9287 I too take the same brand and no side effects.
Should I take one 500 mg after each lunch and dinner ?
clicked on it to see your face

You're the only one who says to take after eating. Everyone else says half hour before meals. Which is it?
After a meal so 3 capsules a day?
Nice video. I didn’t know Shania Twain was into Berberine.

Did anyone experience spotting with berberine or having an additional cycle 2 weeks after your normal cycle. Im not irregular I am taking berberine to increase insulin sensitivity.

Muscle wasting sadly
It was mentioned here that this product raises HDL, true?
