Thank you very much, i just got diagnosed with atherosclerosis @ 47 years old. What was interesting in the very first few minutes of your video, is that you mentioned Kindney stones have been linked to this and I will now go and get my kidnesys checked. Anyway, I am now fully focused to try and reverse atherosclerosis with a good diet, excercise and of course Berberine but also with water fasting, and Autophagy. as there are great videos on YT from doctors/clinics which show really promising results with reversing atherosclerosis through Autophagy. I have actually been doing prolonged water fasting for several months now. I was looking into starting Naiacin with a statin as a double combo treatment (I have read this can also work with some people) However, before i go down that route, im going to stick with Berberine for 4 months and get my body into a state of Autophagy by water fasting for 72 hours every 3-4 weeks. Thanks again!! Love all you doc's for taking the time to help and sharing your findings!
Another mechanism of action could be that birbirine controls blood sugar. Glucose competes with vitamin C for absorption. Vitamin C is essential for repairing blood vessels because Vitamin C is essential for repairing collagen.
@@dangerzone007 One of the problems with vitamin c it has a very high amount of oxalates in it. Kidney stones arthritis etc has been associated with high consumption of oxalates. If one consumes a large ampunt of oxalates it will kill one. Two examples that I can think of is a farmers sheep went into a field of high oxalate foods feasted for a day and ended up dead. A working man came home and had two bowls of sourel soup fell over dead. I guess moderation in everything is okay. Thanks for the information in regards to video by James Roberts...will definately give it a watch.
@@donadams3313 animals make high dose vitamin C and they don't seem to have an oxalate problem. Millions of people take high dose vitamin C and don't seem to have an oxalate problem.
@@dangerzone007 Yeah that would explain why the carnivores on and animal diet do not get scurvy etc. on an all meat diet. Thanks again for the information greatly appreciated.
I need to know if I can take it safely with my 20ml Pravastatin, low-dose aspirin, Nattokinase and micellized K2D3??????? I am terrified of stroke, as I have atherosclerosis, PVD. Also afraid of Berberine destabilizing hard plaque; thereby allowing soft plaque to increase clot risk. I hope you can respond. No point in asking Primary Care doc, because they refuse to research or acknowledge holistic medicine, alternative treatment, spike protein vaccines, etc. No point in consulting them, as they have been brainwashed.
How does the Randle Cycle play into this. In regards to red meat increasing plaque how was this performed? Were the studies designed just by the amount of red meat consumed? Did they take into effect the combination of other factors such as charbohydrates? The Randle Cycle basically states if you eat saturated fats with charbohydrates that is where the problem comes into play. Shawn Baker a carnivore eats strictly Red Meat only. His score came up as zero. Indicating no plaque build up at all. And he has been carnivore for many years? So is the problem with red meat or the combination of red meats combined with charbohydrates. One needs to tease out these intricacies before making statements that red meat causes build up of plaque. Just a thought.
a chemical found naturally in several plants - Berberis vulgaris (Barberry), Hydrastis canadensis (Goldenseal), Mahonia aquifolium ( Oregon Grape) being the most common used in herbal medicine since many centuries - and a few other medicinally used plants East and West - it's always good and interesting to see more and new studies investigating the bio-chemistry and metabolic physiological pathways and actions of such phytochemistry... but it almost always simply adds to already existing knowledge and studies that have been around for many decades - rarely it is anything groundbreakingly new - these botanicals already have a long tradition of use for digestive-, inflammatory-, astringent-, tonifying-, blood sugar lowering-, arthritic-, infectious-, and more- benefits - it's the old standard pattern we experience in so many fields, not only natural medicine, but also in culture and politics these days... - when we first tell people that something is the truth or that it is good and beneficial, the allopaths and establishment ridicule us and label us conspiracy theorists... then later they come out with a study or a revelation and tell the public that "We studied and found out that it is true and beneficial " ... and then, later, they claim that ".. .We told you all along that it is true and beneficial" while the traditional practitioners who are the ones who have actually been helping people with it all the while are getting cast to the side as if they were lunatics - Well.. of course I am glad to see Dr Been discussing it and spreading knowledge ! thanks muchly :-)

Hoping this will help folk I know as well as me. Going to get your full course series this week - it's been an expensive 3 years so I only spend on the ultra good stuff after much research.

So if the element is beneficial for arteries, and a virus like COVID or coarse of antiviral seems to initiate a type breakdown, what do we know about the interaction? Of all the elements that make tendons or arteries stronger, or function well, how would the results begin to reverse a good production? I'm limbing it here but if I mentioned leaky gut due the obvious similar lining , however strong it is , I can safely compare some of the active data for a good start to see results
If TMAO is responsible for cardiovascular inflammation then explain these 2 facts. 1. Blood levels of TMAO are 50 times higher after eating fish compared to eggs or beef. 2. A high consumption of fish is associated with a low risk of death due to cardiovascular disease, especially stroke, among adults with diabetes. Both statements are confirmed by studies.
Thank You SO MUCH Doc...since my heart attack April 2021, (3 stents) and being on ramipril, clopidogrel, ezetimibe...I have not felt good at all, have not been able to exercise the 1-2 hours per day I used to ( even with 2 arteries plugged)...maybe this is just what I needed...I will start 1g tomorrow, I was on 500mg but maybe I just need 1 gram...I hope....I hate feeling the way I have been feeling, Thnaks a million Doc!

Thank you for the reassurance. I take berberine twice daily, at breakfast and dinner. It helps with blood sugar a bit but nothing impressive. I will continue consistently now that it seems to deal with atherosclerosis too.
@@ketokarbs3671 Perhaps, but I have learned that berberine is generally poorly absorbed. Some brands of berberine like Now has added MCT. I am experimenting taking berberine with a tsp of MCT oil. Thanks for responding.
Dr.Been Can u please discuss the mechanism of chromium picolinate in insulin resistance as it is said to increase the receptors for insulin on the cells overcoming the main problem of diabetics
The published study doesn't mention how careful the researchers were in blinding the people who did the carotid ultrasound measurements. There could be bias in choosing exactly where to place the measuring points on these fuzzy images and where the ultrasound probe was placed. They also didn't say how many repeated measurements were independently made by different technicians at the same time point to estimate the standard error of the repeated measurements. The small differences amounting to tenths of a millimeter could be random chance.
DrBeen, Which Berberine or brand is best to use there are all kinds of berberine with different support and what MG is best ? Also should a person also diet while taking berberine.
Good information, but we need a much bigger study to convince the prescribing docs. A study size of 500 in control and berberine arm, double blinded and confirming the mode of operation would be helpful - but who is going to fund that. Certainly not big pharma. We need some benefactor with really deep pockets to step up here long with 1000s of smaller donations from the rest of us. Plus we need a dispassionate prof to lead the study i.e., with no skin in the game either way. Is it best to take before a meal, after, with or between meals ... or does it matter? BTW - I had been taking berberine for about 1.5 years and I have been a weight trainer for 57 years - I have seen no change in my muscular capacity at all. Still bench press 225 pounds at almost 70 years old - and that is a lot more than I weigh. Cheers.
I'm on rosuvastatin and other statins over the past 12 years. Should I replace with berberine or continue and add BBR? I see my cardiologist tomorrow for results of nuclear stress test checking on stent status and other arteries that were 40% blocked at the time of the stent in 2011.
Statins do stabilize plaque but at the cost of further calcification. Berberine is great will shrink plaque. I'm using the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol and have reversed 30% of my calcification verified by CAC
Sure, I use a number of supplements. They all work together. I use D3 and K2-MK7 myself. But use the proper dose 100mcg of K2-MK7 per 1000i.u of D3. I am reversing my coronary artery calcium so far by 30% via Linus Pauling Heart Protocol verified by CAC And BTW I do eat red meat. Imagine that!
Best treatment for atherosclerosis: Vitamin C Why do only coronary arteries clog with cholesterol and not veins or small capillaries? If "high cholesterol" is the cause of clogging your arteries, why doesn't it clog the arteries in your finger, your nose, and the smallest capillaries in your toe? Scurvy = No vitamin C in your diet. Symptom: Your blood vessels break and you bleed to death. Think of the sailor of the past. Scurvy of the heart = Just enough vitamin C from food. Symptom: Arteries around the heart are not strong enough to resist high blood pressure. Damage is repaired with cholesterol LP(a) to prevent worse. After years of repair, your arteries become clogged. A guinea pig can also not synthesize vitamin C by themself, just like humans, and needs supplementing 50 mg vitamin C every day and weighs only 1 kilo. 1 orange = 50 mg vitamin C. Do you really think that 75 mg vitamin C for humans is enough? What is your weight? Enough vitamin C supplement of at least 3000 mg. per day gives strong and flexible arteries. Cholesterol is not needed as a repair agent. Cholesterol in your coronary arteries is broken down and burned in your liver.

I would use Berberine but I'm afraid it will lower my blood pressure which is low to perfect right now. I'm a light runner and it usually is around 105-110 over 60 but once in a while it is around 100/60. I don't want Berberine to drop it in the 90's?
I have similar BP. I take berberine, but intermittently, about 2 to 3 times a week right now. It makes marked difference for better in how I feel if I feel not well just after a meal. Insulin resistant, I think.
@@egng3186 I try to keep it around 110 but since I stopped eating all processed foods and sugar it dropped. Apparently 120 is considered elevated but I think I feel best around 110-120. I'm just hoping the Berberine does not lower it. Ill try it every other day to see if that works.
Am looking into dihydroberberine - supposedly more bioavailable and less side effects (but more expensive OF COURSE) - have you looked into this? If yes, what do you think?
@@sue.F Some sources are saying that taking Dihydroberberine is more bioavailable - up to 5x more effective, with a lower dose - than reg berberine, and has less side effects. That is why my question.
@@terfalicious oh really, my apologises - it must have been on the live chat. Berberine is converted to dihydroberbine in the gut - so there is no advantage to taking this form.
I am so conflicted about Berberine. I bought it and took it for a few days then read so many concerns about side effects I stopped. Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
looks to me like a study paid by the Chinese berberine manufacturers in an effort to raise sales. The effect is numerically poor, exact conditions (e.g. blood pressure values) which- if different- may have contributed to different results are not mentioned and some "after treatment" pictures even suggest, that the lesions go further as the (likely manual) highlighting.
I actualy had a heart tranplant 23 years ago and 7 years ago my arteries were clear I was also taking Berbine Tocotrinols Glisodin and Aged Garlic Extract Unfortinaly do to Financial reasons I stopped taking everything and now my arteries are cloged 95 percent and not much that can be done becose of the location I was also biking reguraly but didnt help. Dont stop taking your supplents. The only posible cure is a second tranplant

Cholesterol doesn't cause atherosclerosis. It's part of the repair mechanism. Blaming cholesterol for atherosclerosis is like blaming the fire truck for the fire.
@@DrBeenMedicalLectures I encourage you to look at the relationship between Lp(a) and Vitamin C. Check out for Linus Pauling a 2 times Nobel Prize winner. Also Dr Rath. It seems that around about humans lost the ability to produce their own vitamin c lp (a) took over as a substitute for repairing arterial walls.

BTW - I had been taking berberine for about 1.5 years and I have been a weight trainer for 57 years - I have seen no change in my muscular capacity at all. Still bench press 225 pounds at almost 70 years old - and that is a lot more than I weigh. Cheers.
But doesn’t berberine reduce muscle size?
I'm on rosuvastatin and other statins over the past 12 years. Should I replace with berberine or continue and add BBR? I see my cardiologist tomorrow for results of nuclear stress test checking on stent status and other arteries that were 40% blocked at the time of the stent in 2011.
I am not a doctor but please look up the side effects of statins they are horrendous.
Statins do stabilize plaque but at the cost of further calcification.
Berberine is great will shrink plaque.
I'm using the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol and have reversed 30% of my calcification verified by CAC
Just out of curiosity, has your LDL, HDL or ratio improve after being on Berberine
thank you
I am disgusted at the low fig of likes when 7.5k have viewed your video Dr M
Hi Drbeen or anyone here - what is the name of the test to get the visual ultrasonic images of plaques ?
Wonder if there is a cumulative effect over time or at 4 months are you tapped out on positive results?
Will this help with scleroderma?
How does it respond for those who don’t eat red meat? Wonder if using this in combination of Vit D/K offers improved protection?
Sure, I use a number of supplements. They all work together. I use D3 and K2-MK7 myself. But use the proper dose 100mcg of K2-MK7 per 1000i.u of D3.
I am reversing my coronary artery calcium so far by 30% via Linus Pauling Heart Protocol verified by CAC
And BTW I do eat red meat. Imagine that!
i love berberine. have used it with DM2 pts for years. successfully.
Thank you i am taking BB and i think it is helping, but i wish i could be sure, i do take insulin............ and i have CAD
In your diagram, it says "animal pluck". What is that?
“The lungs, heart with trachea and often oesophagus removed from slaughtered animals” Wiktionary
only 2.2% reduction in size after 4 months. It needs to be pretty much a "for life" supplement to get 50% reduction. I guess that is a Win.
An additional win will be stopping the growth of the plaque.
Best treatment for atherosclerosis: Vitamin C
Why do only coronary arteries clog with cholesterol and not veins or small capillaries?
If "high cholesterol" is the cause of clogging your arteries, why doesn't it clog the arteries in your finger, your nose, and the smallest capillaries in your toe?
Scurvy = No vitamin C in your diet.
Symptom: Your blood vessels break and you bleed to death. Think of the sailor of the past.
Scurvy of the heart = Just enough vitamin C from food.
Symptom: Arteries around the heart are not strong enough to resist high blood pressure. Damage is repaired with cholesterol LP(a) to prevent worse. After years of repair, your arteries become clogged.
A guinea pig can also not synthesize vitamin C by themself, just like humans, and needs supplementing 50 mg vitamin C every day and weighs only 1 kilo.
1 orange = 50 mg vitamin C.
Do you really think that 75 mg vitamin C for humans is enough? What is your weight?
Enough vitamin C supplement of at least 3000 mg. per day gives strong and flexible arteries. Cholesterol is not needed as a repair agent. Cholesterol in your coronary arteries is broken down and burned in your liver.

I’ve found taking 1 gr. Liposomal Vitamin C is very helpful. Look at Dr.Thomas Levy’s work on Vit C.
The study should have gone on longer to see just how much placque reduction could be achieved.
With intake of 500mg X2 daily cause diarrhea? It became a problem for my body. Was well hydrated with salt water just to keep balanced. 😮😢 Had to stop for a while but want to continue
they say it can cause leukemia?

Berberine and natto together?
I would use Berberine but I'm afraid it will lower my blood pressure which is low to perfect right now. I'm a light runner and it usually is around 105-110 over 60 but once in a while it is around 100/60. I don't want Berberine to drop it in the 90's?
Your blood pressure is a bit low
I have similar BP. I take berberine, but intermittently, about 2 to 3 times a week right now. It makes marked difference for better in how I feel if I feel not well just after a meal. Insulin resistant, I think.
@@egng3186 I try to keep it around 110 but since I stopped eating all processed foods and sugar it dropped. Apparently 120 is considered elevated but I think I feel best around 110-120. I'm just hoping the Berberine does not lower it. Ill try it every other day to see if that works.
I use Mahonia tea once a day and it did not lower my blood pressure which was often low. It is higher now. May be modulating pressure if not overused.
@@aveccoeur3874 Add intermittent fasting in your live.
I just began taking 1 gram per day and believe that it is helping my ED.
What?
Am looking into dihydroberberine - supposedly more bioavailable and less side effects (but more expensive OF COURSE) - have you looked into this? If yes, what do you think?
Listen to the talk here - the doctor describes how Berberine is converted in the gut to this.
@@sue.F Some sources are saying that taking Dihydroberberine is more bioavailable - up to 5x more effective, with a lower dose - than reg berberine, and has less side effects. That is why my question.
@@terfalicious the doctor does address this very issue here, have you not listened to it?
@@sue.F He did not address this as a supplement.
@@terfalicious oh really, my apologises - it must have been on the live chat. Berberine is converted to dihydroberbine in the gut - so there is no advantage to taking this form.
I am so conflicted about Berberine. I bought it and took it for a few days then read so many concerns about side effects I stopped. Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
Berberine is extremely low on side effects. I've had none, and Ive used it for six months
@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457what are the side effects besides constipation?
Assalamualaikum sir
Sir main bshut pareshaan hoon mera ek confusion hai please reply sir i have in a big problem
looks to me like a study paid by the Chinese berberine manufacturers in an effort to raise sales. The effect is numerically poor, exact conditions (e.g. blood pressure values) which- if different- may have contributed to different results are not mentioned and some "after treatment" pictures even suggest, that the lesions go further as the (likely manual) highlighting.
Elaborate please
I actualy had a heart tranplant 23 years ago and 7 years ago my arteries were clear I was also taking Berbine Tocotrinols Glisodin and Aged Garlic Extract
Unfortinaly do to Financial reasons I stopped taking everything and now my arteries are cloged 95 percent and not much that can be done becose of the location
I was also biking reguraly but didnt help. Dont stop taking your supplents. The only posible cure is a second tranplant
Wow aspirin, clopidodrel and ticagrelor are all increasing sclerosis in the arteries. Me and my husband take clopidogrel ....this is not good.
Take a proteoletic enzyme with Berberine
Like serrapeptase?
What is berberine?
I have hever heard of it either, just Google it. Lifeextension vitamins has it.
It's the Burberry of supplements
Google it.
Used to help regulate glucose naturally
a chemical found naturally in several plants - Berberis vulgaris (Barberry), Hydrastis canadensis (Goldenseal), Mahonia aquifolium ( Oregon Grape) being the most common used in herbal medicine since many centuries - and a few other medicinally used plants East and West - it's always good and interesting to see more and new studies investigating the bio-chemistry and metabolic physiological pathways and actions of such phytochemistry... but it almost always simply adds to already existing knowledge and studies that have been around for many decades - rarely it is anything groundbreakingly new - these botanicals already have a long tradition of use for digestive-, inflammatory-, astringent-, tonifying-, blood sugar lowering-, arthritic-, infectious-, and more- benefits -
CVD i mean
Isn't metformin better though than berberine?
I doubt it. I am using the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol and have reversed 30% of my CAC Score.
10,800 f/u of Nattokinase a day has shown to breakup and dissolve plaque and hard deposits by research.
Do you mean ten thousand? I take two thousand. Isn’t ten thousand too much?
Can some food do the same as berberine?
No
Yes, in the sense that some foods contain berberine---goldenseal, oregon grape, barberry, and probably others.
Cholesterol doesn't cause atherosclerosis. It's part of the repair mechanism. Blaming cholesterol for atherosclerosis is like blaming the fire truck for the fire.
U r a meat-eater.
Go easy on the doctor. He's still learning.
@@matsfreedom sure. The problem with allopathic doctors is they have to unlearn a lot of things I learnt in medical school.
That was a tongue slip. I do, however, deserve this commentary for saying cholesterol.
@@DrBeenMedicalLectures I encourage you to look at the relationship between Lp(a) and Vitamin C. Check out for Linus Pauling a 2 times Nobel Prize winner. Also Dr Rath. It seems that around about humans lost the ability to produce their own vitamin c lp (a) took over as a substitute for repairing arterial walls.
lets all the kool beans take a gram a day for 6 months and report back. do a before and after ultrasound.
kidney stones =. lack of magnesium
Wish dr. would rule out vested interest bias on these studies
check the study at the link dr m left below video
@@Jean42ette thanks.
It was petty stupid to not test Berbine plus statins. Some studies found synergy
😊👍
