Hi Dr. Berg, this is how I have benefited from your channel. In Dec 2020 I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 after being pre-diabetic for probably 2 decades. Around April, I watched one of your videos that promoted intermittent fasting. So I jumped on board. I began squeezing 3 meals / day into 10ish hours, but that was not satisfactory. After about 6 weeks of this, I dropped to 2 meals a day, plus I fast every Saturday. I alternate my first meal between fruits and veggies. My 2nd meal is eggs, avacado and protein. I love that you love eggs. About 6 weeks ago I was no longer diabetic (not even pre-diabetic!) and have dropped my blood sugar testing to once per month. The best 2 things I learnt from you was 1) insulin resistance and 2) intermittent fasting. (I have not spent time on keto yet). Doctors had an opportunity for 2 decades to offer me advice on preventing full blown diabetes. "Cut down on your sugar" is just not sufficient medical advice. Thank you for your channel and your effort into passing along useful information. You have been more valuable to me than 20 years of doctors. And for every person that you have helped, and who leaves a comment, I am sure that there are hundreds and hundreds of other people that you have also helped but who have not left a comment. Thanks.
Look in the description drop down box. It gives the link to Dr. Berg success stories I don’t think he reads these comments. Maybe due to time?? Congratulations on your success!
I'm an old guy who has suffered with acid reflux to a point that I had major surgery and multiple other operations. I have taken all of these anti acids and pills that stop the acid buildup. With all of those pills and operations, my condition got worse and I suffered all kinds of problems. I found that a small amount of whiskey kills the infections in the esophagus and stomach and eating peppers eliminates the acid reflux. I now use no drugs and I suffer no stomach acid problems. I eat peppers every day and when I go several days without them, I end up with acid reflux. Everything that the doctors told me was absolutely wrong. The drugs cause tremendous other problems and just don't work. It's all in the diet. Don't listen to most doctors because they were taught how to administer drugs.
"It's all in the diet. Don't listen to most doctors because they were taught how to administer drugs" Well said. Great advise. The medical profession & industry are in majority only drug salesmen, and a huge hindrance to human health.
@@aminta1solan2 I honestly think a lot of doctors believe what they are saying. I think the education system for doctors is probably corrupt and they "learn" that prescribing drugs is the way to heal problems.. Off course some are probably on commission too.
Oh Lord! I feel like going for a vacation because my 1year if confusion has been solved in 6:30 secs. I feel like I can lecture a whole community after listening to this. My many questions and doubts have been resolved. Praise the Lord.🙏Our people will die for lack of knowledge. I will continue to tap into your cup of knowledge Dr berg. Thank you!

This man has changed my life. Not only did I learn a lot about biochemistry, but literally taught me how to neutralize any negative effects caused by over eating (Yep, I'm a foodie). Thanks a lot Doc
This is a tricky one. I think balance is important. I beat cancer with tumeric, aloe, black seed oil, CBD oil etc, ACV ,baking soda too and lots of green tea. I ate a balance of foods : cucumber avocado brown rice dark chocolate fish Turkey chicken and alcohol beverages on occasion. I just had a good balance of different foods. I think it varies for each person.
The huge variety is important for a good healthy micro biome. I have done keto, I have done weight watchers, I am done semi vegetarian/vegan. But I am now eating more of a Mediterranean diet lots of vegetables of every color whenever possible organic. Also fruits in less proportion than vegetables. I eat beans after soaking of course lentils. Steel cut oats. Once in a while grass fed grass finished beef, organic chicken, wild caught salmon etc. etc. in all of my years and I am 61 I have never felt this good. My gut is better, my emotions are better, my overall state of well-being and my energy level is better than it has ever been. And I know that it’s because I am looking at my gut- biome by eating a variety of organic and healthy grains healthy legumes preparing them properly and good organic meat. LOTS OF VEGETABLES- except I don’t eat potatoes nor corn.
@@pamelawagner3507 lentils are good to eat , but the veggies would kill me . Actually they were keeping me in a sick state keeping me fat and feeling sick all the time . Once I stopped eating red meat and veggies I lost 68 pounds feeling better
@@pamelawagner3507 yes I love Mediterranean food it’s good for my slow thyroid and goiter. I feel the best when I eat that type of food. I love fried cauliflower in olive oil with hummus pita bread. 💖
I watch your videos religiously and have learned so much from you. My husband and I are huge fans, and refer to your videos over and over again when leaning about healthy eating. We take a lot of your advice. Please don't ever stop educating us. We appreciate you so much.
I have been taking ACV for about 6 weeks now -I have experienced multiple health benefits. Loss of weight, less cravings, better digestion + better overall feeling!
Hey Doc, I was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2017. Your videos helped me clean up my diet, lose weight, and control inflammation. I do intermittent fasting and I don’t eat refined carbs. I kept 40 pounds off for the last four years. your videos make everything so simple to understand. thank you for doing what you do, you have made a huge difference in my life.
Franklin acupuncture in Franklin Tennessee has a pretty high success rate in putting Lyme in remission. He helped me be able to eat red meat after being diagnosed with alpha gal

Took me 2 years to get out of that hole . Every time I stopped ppi’s stomach acid would go through the roof. Did it by gaviscon and slowly weening of them.Left me with b12 deficiency , pernicious anemia , nerve numbness and leg pains.
@@rubiccube8953 oh ouch. That's miserable and abuse from the doctor, but that is the set standard. Which is frightful but it prevents malpractice litigation. Stupidly in my opinion. I still have malabsorption issues from nexium and tumd.
@@lydialady5275 It taught me a lesson . I had questioned the doctor before taking them regarding effects on digestion he reassured me. Years later I was told I had throat cancer after two scans ,because I had a cough. 8 weeks later when they performed a operation to do a biopsy it turned out to be an oesophageal web caused by pernicious anemia. Guess what they suggested I take to stop acid reflux?

You have to Distill or buy Distilled water and add back Trace Minerals and Salt. Water is so polluted and I found that out after I installed filters in my water line. I was shocked to see the first Pre-Filter turning brown within a few gallons. I bought two Distiller off of Ebay a year ago and now Distill all my drinking water. The results are Fabulous, as the first thing I noticed was how my skin look so healthy, soft and all the little bumps I had on my skin were disappearing. Just amazing how we take for granted water; yet, the water everywhere is so polluted. Think about all the Meds people take and then excrete into our water supply and that is just the tip of the iceberg of all the chemicals we flush down the drain and people drink. Love 4Truth!
It's important to add that one should never drink distilled water before the minerals are added. Pure H2O causes severe irritation. Ironic that pure water is toxi but in nature it always xomes with minerals and nowadays some things one doesn't want to have in water.
I started making my own yogurt and my acid reflux virtually disappeared overnight. I used to have to carry some kind of pill with me everywhere I went,for about 15 years. But not now-I haven’t taken an antacid or heartburn pill since.
@@pauldunne5230 it’s been a game changer for me,I don’t have to carry anything with me anymore. Pizza doesn’t scare me. Nachos with chili doesn’t scare me. The only thing I haven’t tested is a margarita
Thanks to your videos Dr. Berg, i managed to lose 33 pounds over the past 5 months. I'm on a low carb diet(not full keto) and am 8 pounds away from my ideal weight. Thank you so much for everything that you do, i have learned A LOT from you good sir. Greetings all the way from sunny Egypt 🇪🇬
Omg!!!!! This video is a god send! I have been struggling with ph and have taken tests for my stomach which said I had problems breaking down protein and had very low b12!!! I used to drink 9.5ph water years ago and swear I had stomach problems after but everyone swears alkaline is better! So glad I saw this because even drinking alcohol throws off my ph, but now it makes sense because the root is in the stomach!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing! Will switch from Himalayan salt to Celtic sea salt & ACV to see if I see an improvement!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is fabulous info dr Berg!! In the last 5 years I was taught that an alkaline body was best… we were buying alkaline water…. And such… thank you for this!
I definitely benefited your contents. First was air hunger that governmental hospitals couldn't solved through blood tests and scanning machines many years however, you solved my problem after I found you on Tiktok saying if you are air hunger, you need B1. After you said that I was last stages that I developed peri peri condition. Extremely low heart beat, confusion, forgetfulness, hair loss and more. I had to call my GP about the situation and told my problem they immediately told me to come and do blood test but found nothing. I bought B1 100mg when I swallowed after minutes, I felt my lungs were expanded. Second problem was my gastric that I had been suffering for almost ten years. The air hunger and the gastric suffering started same time. The gastric almost killed me. My stomach swells when I eat food. My diaphragm swells and tightens when burp a lot. However, after I watched a video talking about low stomach acid and said If you have low stomach acid take ACV, Betaine HCL and Tudca. After I took them, the swelling of my diaphragm immediately disappeared, stomach pain, stomach swelling and constipation. My problem was low stomach acid. But my question is why my blood test didn't show vitamin deficiency? May be if stomach acid is low blood test results hides. Thanks Dr Eric Berg for helping us.
The body regulates the pH of its own organs and tissues... eating balanced diets with more whole, less processed foods reduces the tendency to hit one extreme or another.
Nope not in my case....I eat 97% whole food made from scratch....get 85% of vitamins daily from food and still have major bloating because I can't digest proteins properly anymore. I recently added acv before meals along with pepsin (5 per meal) and finally starting to feel better after a month. I was creating almost zero stomach acid 😩
Stress plays a role too. We tend to live in a world and create realities for ourselves that really prohibits the body from functioning the way it’s intended.
@@californiagurl1978 A number of factors can upset things, the microbe balance often plays a part. Different forms of energy healing can help refresh functioning of organs. The interesting thing is that some people stimulate stomach acid production with celery juice, which is an alkaline food. The ACV and protein processing enzymes are a compensation but they don't resolve the lack of acid being produced in the stomach.
Mark Grenon of G2 has been saying this for years. Doc I'm so glad you agree with him. Ive been watching your other videos and have to say I definitely have received great benefit.
It's incredible how so much info is given, without even knowing what the actual person is going to eat, and so what there will be in the stomach that needs digesting.
Thanks Doc. You make it seem so simple. I’m guessing that being too alkaline will also cause constipation because our food won’t be digested just one more thing to add to other misery we put up with. Keep those videos coming.
Hi from Brazil Dr. You clear and simple language goes directly to the subject. Just can say thank u so much for your vídeos and your "classes", they are helping me a Lot to improve my health
Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! I tried to alkalize my body by drinking baking soda years ago and this created interstitial cystitis in my bladder. I am much better, but still dealing with this. Thank you Dr. Berg for telling others not to do this!!!
Wow..I am surprised as lot of videos are talking about alkaline benifit in our body but your guide on acidic benifits are amazing..thank u for this great information .lots of regards from Chennai 🙏
DR BERG! I’m from Philippines and I really love your videos! I have PCOS and acid reflux, now I don’t have pimples and fat tummy caused by PCOS ‘coz I always remind myself to eat cruciferous vegetables with proper exercise. With Acid reflux, I’m taking sea salt and sometime apple cider. Go under the sunlight every morning and they all helped me!! Thank you so much!
Ya’ll, this one is really interesting, especially that he has posted this today. After three years of not eating meat, today I am planning on going keto. A few months ago I started integrating eggs and seafood. For the past two months, I have been on a fruit diet (melons, citrus, grapes, berries, avocados). I have dropped all the congestion in my stomach very quickly. I believe the fruit diet healed my body. Though I feel strong, I know it is not sustainable due to low protein/fats. I recently started integrating bone marrow occasionally and I found that it was able to release some things the fruit diet could not (or it was just quicker to release it than fruit) I’ve been playing around with my ph, and experimenting. I noticed many benefits from having an acidic stomach. And I also did some research and found that candida thrives in an alkaline environment 😳. Let’s see how this goes.
The symptoms are similar in both cases , lack of stomach acidity or surplus of it. I tested with cider vinegar before the meal, but I started to have heartburns, which I didn't have before, so I concluded that I have normal acidity
I woke up at 3:32 am with really bad heartburn and gurd. I remembered your video on ACV ....I took ACV and it went away. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. BERG 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I figured this out the hard way - after damaging my GI tract by alkalinizing with food. Kept hearing over and over “you must eat alkaline” and followed it. Now I’m trying to slowly recover and repair my poor stomach from this misinformation.
Hormones control the different digestive enzymes that are secreted in the stomach and the intestine during the process of digestion and absorption. For example, the hormone gastrin stimulates stomach acid secretion in response to food intake. The hormone somatostatin stops the release of stomach acid. i have treated G E R DS with reishi duanwood and adaptogens on detox very alikaline body
Very interesting fact and yet confuses a lot of pol. How to know if the stomach is too acidic? I always had this idea of heartburn being caused by acidic stomach, I just learned something new! Thank you for this golden information! Be blessed!
I was over 150kg and I wanted to loose weight in a natural way. Thanks to what I've learnt on your chanel..I created a personal programme in which I don't have to do lots of sports, nor stop myself from eating..and I'm the sweat type. One year later, lost more than 60 kg, doing sports less than two hours a week or none, eating whatever I want, I most admit, doing things more seriously, would lead to best results, but still: I'm loosing the weight, so thanks.
Much admiration for what you do here, Dr. Berg. Your message is getting to more and more of us, and your contribution to humanity is a fine example of what one light shining in the darkness can do . . . Namaste, dear one.
You are on of the greatest greatest scientists I m following last couple of months. And this works for my diabetic and many health complications. Thanks so much
I had GERD for about 10 years, causing esophagus inflammation, hiatal hernia of the esophagus (difficulty swallowing), joint inflammation, weight gain, fatigue, food allergies and chronic sinus inflammation (probably stomach acid vapors going up my esophagus). Came across A Dr. Berg video on trying apple cider vinegar with my food, started healing my problems the first night, also our well water is very alkaline and had to be distilled. Took about 5 years to recover.
Hi dr Eric! Could you one day do a video about the role of acid forming alkalis and alkaline forming acids? You explain things well and it’s something that eludes my comprehension so far
What i read is the minerals Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium gives alkalinity when combined with water (hydroxyl group). These alkalinities override the weak acids they are in, say lemonade...
I’m a care aide. I go into seniors houses & take care of them for an hour with their daily activities. One of my clients died unexpectedly. She was a normal, healthy 86 yr old woman & one day she got sick & started to decline rapidly. They took her to the hospital but they couldn’t find anything wrong with her. Before she passed away I asked her “what do you think is wrong with you” she told me she didn’t know. She also told me her stomach wasn’t feeling good. I wonder if she was too alkaline? Every single morning she took two tablespoons of liquid calcium. I’ve always wondered what was the cause of her illness.
I am following dr.berg from 3 years now... all his videos have helped me, my family and the extended family. I am so much greatful to you dr.berg, I was an obese child and it is due to wrong eating habits....now I am 36, After marriage I regained a lot of weight after my 2 children.

Sodium bicarbonate can be beneficial to kidney function and health, but should never be taken with food or for "acid indigestion" for exactly the reason Dr. Berg states. If sodium bicarbonate is taken, it should with plain, unsweetened water, with an empty stomach and upper intestine a few hours before eating a meal, so it's not alkalizing the stomach when stomach acidity is most needed. The excess sodium will get excreted with metabolic acids you don't need, alkalizing harmful acids and making them less harsh on the kidneys, while the chloride (useful acid) needed for digestion will be conserved by the kidneys for subsequent use by the stomach.
Dr. Berg thank you for your superb videos. I have been drinking antioxidant Alkaline water for several years. As I have been aging I noticed a little acid reflux. So I am not drinking as strong alkaline now and have been adding ACV a few more times a week. My skin, hair and joint health improved so much with drinking Alkaline water. I will stay in tune with my body and continue to make adjustments. Thanks again.
Well, listening to this, makes sense. But it confuses me from what I knew so far. In 2008 when I was recovering from a cancer surgery, I met a doctor who introduced me to the principles of alkalizing the body, of Dr. Young. I tried his products (Supergreens with some alkalizing drops) and literally a miracle happened: the inflammation around the surgery location withdrew, the pain and extreme bloating disappeared - within hours!!! My energy level increased so quickly that 1.5 days later I went for a light hike in the hills with no problems, whereas before, I had to lay down for the rest of the day if I went out for one hour of slow walk. So what's the explanation for that, what would you say, Dr. Berg?
I completely agree with you and I've experienced it myself! Alkaline and anti inflammatory diet are what have kept me away from candida and any problems I used to have. The levels of energy I have when I'm alkaline is just incredible. I'm glad it worked for you too :)
You are a good doctor and I saw your videos. But sometimes, you misguide people. What you are talking about here, it’s totally different from body chemistry. For your info, normal pH of stomach is about 4, not 1.5. 1.5 is the pH of HCL which is secreted during meal. Stomach is not the reservoir for HCL. Baking Soda in Stomach will react with HCL and this reaction will create carbonic acid which will further create CO2 and H2O. CO2 is essential for our body.
Dr. Berg, you are becoming my new go to Doc when I find the information/drug regimens promoted at my Dr’s office seems sketchy. Keep up your good work.

Thanks Eric! My brother had the 8-hr surgery for pancreatitis, would you believe 7 years ago?! X-rays and scans reveal his organs now are all over the place, in other words, when they were taken out during surgery they weren’t put back in place. Today he is really suffering heartburn and acid reflux. He has not been able to lie down in years. I just found this out during his recent visit. I am going to forward this video to him because, in my opinion, you cured me from the point where I didn’t know how I would ever eat or drink again. One doctor gave me prescription for antibiotics for sore throat and that nearly killed me! The next doctor took me off the antibiotics and gave me acid inhibitors. That sounded harsh to me when we learned in elementary school that stomach acid should be like battery acid. So why are we inhibiting acid production!!! Hmm did not sound right to me! Fortunately a friend told me about you at that time! This video makes so much sense! I am going to share with my brother.
This is exactly what I told a “chiro doctor” I went to before: I tried alkalizing my body by alkaline diet but it didn’t work, what worked was acidifying my stomach then it did “alkalize” the body because it’s now able to get the nutrients. I guess, from the looks of how he reacted, he was surprised by a simple logic. (He practices giving baking soda to his clients which I tried too).
@@jp6993 I switched to eating more meat from eating a lot of veggies. Veggies made me alkaline but it was making things worse for me. Gut issues and etc.
We've all been lied to!! An old timer doctor named D.C. Jarvis from Vermont tells us acids are what we need... we are portable batteries and Mother Earth is the great charger!!!!!
Grateful as always for this valuable information, Dr Berg. I took this on board a few months ago as I was having severe difficulty absorbing minerals... they were literally going through me. I've started taking lactic or malic acid with my drinks and suppliments and feel so much better. Thank you x PS. You may wish to (re) inform folks that alkalosis can be caused by a damaged gut... at least that's my experience. If you lack lactobacillus, how is the body supposed to regulate it's pH?
Here's an interesting thing! I have been using an alkaline jug filter for my drinking water for some years. I have suffered with IBS for a long time. A friend told me his girlfriend had been diagnosed with IBS by her doctor but when she went to her homeland it stopped. She changed her water. He told his mum who also had IBS symptoms and she also changed her water. I changed to drinking well water unfiltered. We all feel better now. I thought perhaps it was all the pesticides etc in the tap water, but having watched this video I think perhaps my problems may have come, at least partly, from the alkaline water. It was recommended to me by a bioresonance practitioner who said that alkalising the body will protect from disease! Confusing!!
That’s interesting. I never in my life have acid reflux til i started drinking tap water that was reversed osmosis. I noticed I started getting burps and gassy in my stomach. I tested the water and indeed it was very acidic.
I keep thinking, what if I’m producing too much acid? I’m 54 years old and have an underractive thyroid. I understand that as we age our stomach acid is depleted, what are the effects of stress, does this increase acid and or cortisol to cause acid reflux. Any advice appreciated 🙏
So tell me about gout, which is caused by a high uric acid content. Without lowering your blood acidity, how do you reduce the uric acid in the bloodstream? My understanding is that acidity can only be reduced with alkalinity. Gout is a massively painful ailment and is often debilitating. High acidity works fine in the stomach for digestion. High acidity is horrific in the bloodstream. Cancer thrives in an acid environment.
I 100% agree. In my personal experience, I always kept my body in a mostly acidic state and for the last 20 years I RARELY have gotten sick, my metabolism has always consistently stayed high, no crazy weight gain or fluctuations, digestion has been consistently sound and many more positives just to name a few. On a side note you mentioned sea salt. For the last few years I would have problems with muscle spasms no matter how much water I drank. Well, I did some research and decided to simply add a little sea salt to my everyday drinking water...NO MORE CRAMPS! As an athlete and avid cyclist logging in more than 200 miles a week in the hot sun, this simple addition has been paramount! This is also along with doing ACV doses 2 to 3 times a day. Great video!!!👍👍👍 I'm 38 going on 39 and I am in as great shape as I was in highschool!
@@vlsr71 That was one of the main issues that the sea salt addition provided. I do about 50 miles a day expanded across 4 days a week. On a side note, Gatorade is still legit (minus the sugar).
@@vlsr71 I do coconut water sometimes and do agree with that being better than Gatorade, however sea salt keeps my body hydrated MUCH longer and also has various trace minerals that are significant in which my body and overall performance has responded superbly. So I'll just keep it there. When I ran track in middle school and high school, we use to take salt supplements. My past experiences with this has validated my present choices, mind you, I'm dealing with Georgia humidity!

Dr Sebi would freak out at this. But he advocated for eating whole natural (non-hybridized or GMO) foods that are alkaline inducing, not baking soda or anything like that.
dr sebi is mainly for detoxing your body if you have really bad conditions like aids or cancer or diabetes. his diet is not good for long term health.. it can lead mailnurishment and muscle loss.
I`m confused. I understand that our stomachs need to be acidic BUT was also under the impression that our bodies in general are healthier when they`re at a neutral or higher PH level which helps to keep virus` away. I thought taking ACV would help to maintain a normal to higher PH level and that was healthiest for us. I`ve been taking ACV morning and evening for years and only 2 small colds slipped into me. HELP! I thought acidic human bodies tended to get more sick?!
I agree with you. Acidic stomach, alkaline body. Babies always smell so good because they're completely alkaline. Too much alkaline can be just as dangerous as too much acid but based on how one feels I feel better with alkaline body. But I guess I need to work harder on making my stomach more acidic 🤔
I had this same confusion. But I think that he is talking about acidifying the stomach, not the body. An acid body causes bacterial and cancer growth. An acid stomach stops the pathogens and helps in the proper digestion. He is saying that stopping the pills and anti acids is a good thing, not acidifying the body.
acidic body cause can cause cancer and acidc lympatic system while blood ph does get balanced lympatic PH does not , the man the found cancer and got nobel also believed the same same things the university that trying to proved our body functions said that with this technice alzalize you body and lower inflammation many conditions triggered by a acidic body and acids in the lympatic can damage the kidneys perhaps? maybe more ? about G E R D i treat it with hormone balance and communication fixes and lympatic cleance also most of the unhealthy food are acidic and fruits and vegetables are acaline , so with that logic a guy who is vegan must have GERD Since his foods are mostly alcaline thus stomach become alcaline and he get malabsorption etc and cant digest vegetables anymore coz they are not the easyest to digest but thats not happens also acidic body get dehydrated skin and many more ( talking from experience ofc)

Dear dr Berg this is such great information. I share your site with everyone I can. You are the best doctor I've ever had. Mary Jo Fletcher Alpine Oregon
Growing up as a kid, I had a lot of stomach issues for many years. Ended up been told that my stomach makes too much acid. Funny thing is, I also had 99% of these “low stomach acid” symptoms but mine was high stomach acid. So I don’t know what to make of this 🤷🏾♀️ I’ve been feeling much better reducing the acidity level 🤷🏾♀️
Highly acidic stomach is good to digest food but acidic body is not good. They are two very different things. The more alkaline your body the better. There will be less inflammation, and body will be able to heal itself.
Thank you Doc🙏..for all the knowledge you've impacted in to our lives..may God richly bless you a thousand folds and make everything you touch a success..
I am following your videos sincerely and it is extremely beneficial. They are very knowledgeable giving a wholistic view in a easy to understand manner. Thanks a ton for sharing such immense knowledge
It seems there's some confusion between alkalizing the body vs alkalizing the stomach. But you can't actually change the PH of the body, as we self regulate at around 7.2 (i believe), because we'd die otherwise. We do that by drawing minerals from our stores (e.g., muscle and bone). If you want to put downward/acidic pressure on your body, eat a ton of sugar. And if you want to put upward/alkalizing pressure on your body, eat a mineral rich diet (e.g., dark leafies full of potassium), and things like lemons which are acidic to your stomach, but alkalizing to the body.
Great info! I do drink a glass of ACV with water daily. I love it! I also overeat daily and feel yucky when I first wake up. I’m thinking maybe I should also drink some ACV before bed.

Hi Dr. Berg, this is how I have benefited from your channel. In Dec 2020 I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 after being pre-diabetic for probably 2 decades. Around April, I watched one of your videos that promoted intermittent fasting. So I jumped on board. I began squeezing 3 meals / day into 10ish hours, but that was not satisfactory. After about 6 weeks of this, I dropped to 2 meals a day, plus I fast every Saturday. I alternate my first meal between fruits and veggies. My 2nd meal is eggs, avacado and protein. I love that you love eggs. About 6 weeks ago I was no longer diabetic (not even pre-diabetic!) and have dropped my blood sugar testing to once per month. The best 2 things I learnt from you was 1) insulin resistance and 2) intermittent fasting. (I have not spent time on keto yet). Doctors had an opportunity for 2 decades to offer me advice on preventing full blown diabetes. "Cut down on your sugar" is just not sufficient medical advice.
Thank you for your channel and your effort into passing along useful information. You have been more valuable to me than 20 years of doctors. And for every person that you have helped, and who leaves a comment, I am sure that there are hundreds and hundreds of other people that you have also helped but who have not left a comment. Thanks.
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! 💞👏💞👏💞

wow amazing story! cogratulations.
I'm an old guy who has suffered with acid reflux to a point that I had major surgery and multiple other operations. I have taken all of these anti acids and pills that stop the acid buildup. With all of those pills and operations, my condition got worse and I suffered all kinds of problems. I found that a small amount of whiskey kills the infections in the esophagus and stomach and eating peppers eliminates the acid reflux. I now use no drugs and I suffer no stomach acid problems. I eat peppers every day and when I go several days without them, I end up with acid reflux. Everything that the doctors told me was absolutely wrong. The drugs cause tremendous other problems and just don't work. It's all in the diet. Don't listen to most doctors because they were taught how to administer drugs.
"It's all in the diet. Don't listen to most doctors because they were taught how to administer drugs"
Well said. Great advise. The medical profession & industry are in majority only drug salesmen, and a huge hindrance to human health.
Just normal peppers like bell peppers or hot peppers?
@@briemuss05 I'd like to know what kind of peppers he's referring to as well. I'd also like to know why that would work.
Ja, you are right! I have found out the same thing. ….. and I have stopped trusting the doctor. They are only “selling “ what they are told. Sooo sad.
@@aminta1solan2 I honestly think a lot of doctors believe what they are saying. I think the education system for doctors is probably corrupt and they "learn" that prescribing drugs is the way to heal problems.. Off course some are probably on commission too.

Being a foodie does not mean being a fatty. Don't use it as an excuse if that is what you are doing.

Speak positively about yourself. ❤️ It will reduce stress. Thank you for sharing.
Being a foodie does not mean being a glutton, which is among the ' seven deadly sins'.
@@morningdew2309 i am a foodie only i eat 7 times more than i should, 1 for each sin
This is a tricky one. I think balance is important. I beat cancer with tumeric, aloe, black seed oil, CBD oil etc, ACV ,baking soda too and lots of green tea. I ate a balance of foods : cucumber avocado brown rice dark chocolate fish Turkey chicken and alcohol beverages on occasion. I just had a good balance of different foods. I think it varies for each person.
True
The huge variety is important for a good healthy micro biome. I have done keto, I have done weight watchers, I am done semi vegetarian/vegan. But I am now eating more of a Mediterranean diet lots of vegetables of every color whenever possible organic. Also fruits in less proportion than vegetables. I eat beans after soaking of course lentils. Steel cut oats. Once in a while grass fed grass finished beef, organic chicken, wild caught salmon etc. etc. in all of my years and I am 61 I have never felt this good. My gut is better, my emotions are better, my overall state of well-being and my energy level is better than it has ever been. And I know that it’s because I am looking at my gut- biome by eating a variety of organic and healthy grains healthy legumes preparing them properly and good organic meat. LOTS OF VEGETABLES- except I don’t eat potatoes nor corn.
@@pamelawagner3507 lentils are good to eat , but the veggies would kill me . Actually they were keeping me in a sick state keeping me fat and feeling sick all the time . Once I stopped eating red meat and veggies I lost 68 pounds feeling better

Been drinking alkiline water for years, and my stomach issues have slowly, gradually gotton worse!!! Thanks in this too!
You have to Distill or buy Distilled water and add back Trace Minerals and Salt. Water is so polluted and I found that out after I installed filters in my water line. I was shocked to see the first Pre-Filter turning brown within a few gallons.
I bought two Distiller off of Ebay a year ago and now Distill all my drinking water. The results are Fabulous, as the first thing I noticed was how my skin look so healthy, soft and all the little bumps I had on my skin were disappearing.
Just amazing how we take for granted water; yet, the water everywhere is so polluted.
Think about all the Meds people take and then excrete into our water supply and that is just the tip of the iceberg of all the chemicals we flush down the drain and people drink.
Love 4Truth!
It's important to add that one should never drink distilled water before the minerals are added. Pure H2O causes severe irritation. Ironic that pure water is toxi but in nature it always xomes with minerals and nowadays some things one doesn't want to have in water.
I started making my own yogurt and my acid reflux virtually disappeared overnight. I used to have to carry some kind of pill with me everywhere I went,for about 15 years. But not now-I haven’t taken an antacid or heartburn pill since.
How do u make this recipe, please share.
I take apple cider vinegar to work everyday. It has turmeric ginger and chilli in too. But seems to easy my symptoms.

Omg!!!!! This video is a god send! I have been struggling with ph and have taken tests for my stomach which said I had problems breaking down protein and had very low b12!!! I used to drink 9.5ph water years ago and swear I had stomach problems after but everyone swears alkaline is better!

I definitely benefited your contents. First was air hunger that governmental hospitals couldn't solved through blood tests and scanning machines many years however, you solved my problem after I found you on Tiktok saying if you are air hunger, you need B1. After you said that I was last stages that I developed peri peri condition. Extremely low heart beat, confusion, forgetfulness, hair loss and more.
I had to call my GP about the situation and told my problem they immediately told me to come and do blood test but found nothing. I bought B1 100mg when I swallowed after minutes, I felt my lungs were expanded.
Second problem was my gastric that I had been suffering for almost ten years. The air hunger and the gastric suffering started same time. The gastric almost killed me. My stomach swells when I eat food. My diaphragm swells and tightens when burp a lot.
However, after I watched a video talking about low stomach acid and said If you have low stomach acid take ACV, Betaine HCL and Tudca. After I took them, the swelling of my diaphragm immediately disappeared, stomach pain, stomach swelling and constipation.
My problem was low stomach acid.
But my question is why my blood test didn't show vitamin deficiency? May be if stomach acid is low blood test results hides.
Thanks Dr Eric Berg for helping us.
The body regulates the pH of its own organs and tissues... eating balanced diets with more whole, less processed foods reduces the tendency to hit one extreme or another.
Sorry but as we age, we lose the acidity of the stomach. In thus case you have to acidify it to get proper digestion.
Nope not in my case....I eat 97% whole food made from scratch....get 85% of vitamins daily from food and still have major bloating because I can't digest proteins properly anymore. I recently added acv before meals along with pepsin (5 per meal) and finally starting to feel better after a month. I was creating almost zero stomach acid 😩
Stress plays a role too. We tend to live in a world and create realities for ourselves that really prohibits the body from functioning the way it’s intended.
@@californiagurl1978 A number of factors can upset things, the microbe balance often plays a part. Different forms of energy healing can help refresh functioning of organs. The interesting thing is that some people stimulate stomach acid production with celery juice, which is an alkaline food. The ACV and protein processing enzymes are a compensation but they don't resolve the lack of acid being produced in the stomach.
@@californiagurl1978 Ok! Have you started healthy keto at all?
Mark Grenon of G2 has been saying this for years. Doc I'm so glad you agree with him. Ive been watching your other videos and have to say I definitely have received great benefit.

It's incredible how so much info is given, without even knowing what the actual person is going to eat, and so what there will be in the stomach that needs digesting.
Thanks Doc. You make it seem so simple. I’m guessing that being too alkaline will also cause constipation because our food won’t be digested just one more thing to add to other misery we put up with. Keep those videos coming.

With Acid reflux, I’m taking sea salt and sometime apple cider. Go under the sunlight every morning and they all helped me!!
Thank you so much!
Ya’ll, this one is really interesting, especially that he has posted this today. After three years of not eating meat, today I am planning on going keto. A few months ago I started integrating eggs and seafood. For the past two months, I have been on a fruit diet (melons, citrus, grapes, berries, avocados). I have dropped all the congestion in my stomach very quickly. I believe the fruit diet healed my body. Though I feel strong, I know it is not sustainable due to low protein/fats. I recently started integrating bone marrow occasionally and I found that it was able to release some things the fruit diet could not (or it was just quicker to release it than fruit) I’ve been playing around with my ph, and experimenting. I noticed many benefits from having an acidic stomach. And I also did some research and found that candida thrives in an alkaline environment 😳. Let’s see how this goes.
You might also look into the blood type diet as there may be foods you should avoid. Dr. Adamo.
Keto and IF including longer fasts life changing. Dr. Berg plethora on both subjects importantly foods. Best regards.
@@vlsr71 I’ll definitely look into it!
Keep going! It's interesting hearing what other people's experiences are. Thanks for sharing 🤠
Best thing to heal our stomach is to do intermittent fasting. Than balanced protein, fat and little carbs.
This is the MOST helpful video I've seen from anybody.
Glad it helped!
The symptoms are similar in both cases , lack of stomach acidity or surplus of it. I tested with cider vinegar before the meal, but I started to have heartburns, which I didn't have before, so I concluded that I have normal acidity
I take vinegar (after) food and it solved my bloating and heartburn
I woke up at 3:32 am with really bad heartburn and gurd. I remembered your video on ACV ....I took ACV and it went away. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. BERG 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I figured this out the hard way - after damaging my GI tract by alkalinizing with food. Kept hearing over and over “you must eat alkaline” and followed it. Now I’m trying to slowly recover and repair my poor stomach from this misinformation.
Hormones control the different digestive enzymes that are secreted in the stomach and the intestine during the process of digestion and absorption. For example, the hormone gastrin stimulates stomach acid secretion in response to food intake. The hormone somatostatin stops the release of stomach acid.
i have treated G E R DS with reishi duanwood and adaptogens on detox very alikaline body
You probably hear this a lot: LIFE CHANGING!!! Thank you again. WOW!
I'm glad you mentioned ACV. Thanks so much for this great information.
Very glad to be of help.
This makes so much sense. So many people have told me I need to drink alkaline water and alkalis. Ironically that seems to defeat the whole purpose
Don’t alkalize the stomach before eating. The rest of the body is healthier when alkaline.
Very interesting fact and yet confuses a lot of pol. How to know if the stomach is too acidic?
I always had this idea of heartburn being caused by acidic stomach, I just learned something new!
Thank you for this golden information! Be blessed!
I was over 150kg and I wanted to loose weight in a natural way. Thanks to what I've learnt on your chanel..I created a personal programme in which I don't have to do lots of sports, nor stop myself from eating..and I'm the sweat type. One year later, lost more than 60 kg, doing sports less than two hours a week or none, eating whatever I want, I most admit, doing things more seriously, would lead to best results, but still: I'm loosing the weight, so thanks.

Thank you Dr. Berg. So many people have been mislead by marketing around 'alkalizing' the body. This helps to clarify
I had GERD for about 10 years, causing esophagus inflammation, hiatal hernia of the esophagus (difficulty swallowing), joint inflammation, weight gain, fatigue, food allergies and chronic sinus inflammation (probably stomach acid vapors going up my esophagus). Came across A Dr. Berg video on trying apple cider vinegar with my food, started healing my problems the first night, also our well water is very alkaline and had to be distilled. Took about 5 years to recover.

Sodium bicarbonate can be beneficial to kidney function and health, but should never be taken with food or for "acid indigestion" for exactly the reason Dr. Berg states.
If sodium bicarbonate is taken, it should with plain, unsweetened water, with an empty stomach and upper intestine a few hours before eating a meal, so it's not alkalizing the stomach when stomach acidity is most needed.
The excess sodium will get excreted with metabolic acids you don't need, alkalizing harmful acids and making them less harsh on the kidneys, while the chloride (useful acid) needed for digestion will be conserved by the kidneys for subsequent use by the stomach.
Thank you dr berg for add free videos and content.
i like how unexpectedly Doc. says: alright, thanks for watching and that's it!! no BS in his channel :D :D
Thanks for watching! 😉
Dr. Berg thank you for your superb videos. I have been drinking antioxidant Alkaline water for several years. As I have been aging I noticed a little acid reflux. So I am not drinking as strong alkaline now and have been adding ACV a few more times a week. My skin, hair and joint health improved so much with drinking Alkaline water. I will stay in tune with my body and continue to make adjustments. Thanks again.
Well, listening to this, makes sense. But it confuses me from what I knew so far. In 2008 when I was recovering from a cancer surgery, I met a doctor who introduced me to the principles of alkalizing the body, of Dr. Young. I tried his products (Supergreens with some alkalizing drops) and literally a miracle happened: the inflammation around the surgery location withdrew, the pain and extreme bloating disappeared - within hours!!! My energy level increased so quickly that 1.5 days later I went for a light hike in the hills with no problems, whereas before, I had to lay down for the rest of the day if I went out for one hour of slow walk.
So what's the explanation for that, what would you say, Dr. Berg?
I completely agree with you and I've experienced it myself! Alkaline and anti inflammatory diet are what have kept me away from candida and any problems I used to have. The levels of energy I have when I'm alkaline is just incredible. I'm glad it worked for you too :)
Thanks for all you do to keep us healthy. I share many videos with my family & Facebook friends. I call you my TH-cam Doctor! 🤩
You are a good doctor and I saw your videos. But sometimes, you misguide people. What you are talking about here, it’s totally different from body chemistry. For your info, normal pH of stomach is about 4, not 1.5. 1.5 is the pH of HCL which is secreted during meal. Stomach is not the reservoir for HCL. Baking Soda in Stomach will react with HCL and this reaction will create carbonic acid which will further create CO2 and H2O. CO2 is essential for our body.
I think you need to explain those points better. Baking soda, taken regularly, is not a good idea, in my experience.
Dr. Berg, you are becoming my new go to Doc when I find the information/drug regimens promoted at my Dr’s office seems sketchy. Keep up your good work.

Thanks Eric! My brother had the 8-hr surgery for pancreatitis, would you believe 7 years ago?! X-rays and scans reveal his organs now are all over the place, in other words, when they were taken out during surgery they weren’t put back in place. Today he is really suffering heartburn and acid reflux. He has not been able to lie down in years. I just found this out during his recent visit. I am going to forward this video to him because, in my opinion, you cured me from the point where I didn’t know how I would ever eat or drink again. One doctor gave me prescription for antibiotics for sore throat and that nearly killed me! The next doctor took me off the antibiotics and gave me acid inhibitors. That sounded harsh to me when we learned in elementary school that stomach acid should be like battery acid. So why are we inhibiting acid production!!! Hmm did not sound right to me! Fortunately a friend told me about you at that time! This video makes so much sense! I am going to share with my brother.
How did you get cured?
This is exactly what I told a “chiro doctor” I went to before: I tried alkalizing my body by alkaline diet but it didn’t work, what worked was acidifying my stomach then it did “alkalize” the body because it’s now able to get the nutrients.
I guess, from the looks of how he reacted, he was surprised by a simple logic. (He practices giving baking soda to his clients which I tried too).

PS. You may wish to (re) inform folks that alkalosis can be caused by a damaged gut... at least that's my experience. If you lack lactobacillus, how is the body supposed to regulate it's pH?
The Salt has benefited me tremendously. Even my 67 year old mom is benefiting as well as my ten year old daughter.
Here's an interesting thing! I have been using an alkaline jug filter for my drinking water for some years. I have suffered with IBS for a long time. A friend told me his girlfriend had been diagnosed with IBS by her doctor but when she went to her homeland it stopped. She changed her water. He told his mum who also had IBS symptoms and she also changed her water. I changed to drinking well water unfiltered. We all feel better now. I thought perhaps it was all the pesticides etc in the tap water, but having watched this video I think perhaps my problems may have come, at least partly, from the alkaline water. It was recommended to me by a bioresonance practitioner who said that alkalising the body will protect from disease! Confusing!!
That’s interesting. I never in my life have acid reflux til i started drinking tap water that was reversed osmosis. I noticed I started getting burps and gassy in my stomach. I tested the water and indeed it was very acidic.
Oh Dr Berg, what should we all do without you!!! I love you very much!!! You have changed my life!!!
I keep thinking, what if I’m producing too much acid? I’m 54 years old and have an underractive thyroid. I understand that as we age our stomach acid is depleted, what are the effects of stress, does this increase acid and or cortisol to cause acid reflux. Any advice appreciated 🙏
So tell me about gout, which is caused by a high uric acid content. Without lowering your blood acidity, how do you reduce the uric acid in the bloodstream? My understanding is that acidity can only be reduced with alkalinity. Gout is a massively painful ailment and is often debilitating. High acidity works fine in the stomach for digestion. High acidity is horrific in the bloodstream. Cancer thrives in an acid environment.
I 100% agree. In my personal experience, I always kept my body in a mostly acidic state and for the last 20 years I RARELY have gotten sick, my metabolism has always consistently stayed high, no crazy weight gain or fluctuations, digestion has been consistently sound and many more positives just to name a few. On a side note you mentioned sea salt. For the last few years I would have problems with muscle spasms no matter how much water I drank. Well, I did some research and decided to simply add a little sea salt to my everyday drinking water...NO MORE CRAMPS! As an athlete and avid cyclist logging in more than 200 miles a week in the hot sun, this simple addition has been paramount! This is also along with doing ACV doses 2 to 3 times a day. Great video!!!👍👍👍
I'm 38 going on 39 and I am in as great shape as I was in highschool!
Are you taking in enough electrolytes? Sounds like alot of cycling.
@@vlsr71 That was one of the main issues that the sea salt addition provided. I do about 50 miles a day expanded across 4 days a week. On a side note, Gatorade is still legit (minus the sugar).
@@continuuma.c.2728 Coconut water is way better than gatorade. You also need potassium and magnesium i dont think that is in sea salt or gatorade. 🤔
@@vlsr71 I do coconut water sometimes and do agree with that being better than Gatorade, however sea salt keeps my body hydrated MUCH longer and also has various trace minerals that are significant in which my body and overall performance has responded superbly. So I'll just keep it there. When I ran track in middle school and high school, we use to take salt supplements. My past experiences with this has validated my present choices, mind you, I'm dealing with Georgia humidity!
So sea salt is good for acid reflux??
YES Of course DOCTOR WE ALL ENJOY YOUR VALUABLE VIDEOS,,,THANKS A LOT FOR ,HELPING US ,ON THOSE HEALTH ISSUES WE ALL DEVELOP EVERY DAY,,FROM AUSTRALIA,,MILLION THANKS AGAIN AND AGAIN,,
Dr Sebi would freak out at this. But he advocated for eating whole natural (non-hybridized or GMO) foods that are alkaline inducing, not baking soda or anything like that.
dr sebi is mainly for detoxing your body if you have really bad conditions like aids or cancer or diabetes. his diet is not good for long term health.. it can lead mailnurishment and muscle loss.
Yes all your videos help me very much thank you so much for all you do
I`m confused. I understand that our stomachs need to be acidic BUT was also under the impression that our bodies in general are healthier when they`re at a neutral or higher PH level which helps to keep virus` away. I thought taking ACV would help to maintain a normal to higher PH level and that was healthiest for us. I`ve been taking ACV morning and evening for years and only 2 small colds slipped into me. HELP! I thought acidic human bodies tended to get more sick?!
ACV is an acid. Acetic acid.
I agree with you. Acidic stomach, alkaline body. Babies always smell so good because they're completely alkaline. Too much alkaline can be just as dangerous as too much acid but based on how one feels I feel better with alkaline body. But I guess I need to work harder on making my stomach more acidic 🤔
I had this same confusion. But I think that he is talking about acidifying the stomach, not the body. An acid body causes bacterial and cancer growth. An acid stomach stops the pathogens and helps in the proper digestion. He is saying that stopping the pills and anti acids is a good thing, not acidifying the body.
Very confusing since so many have stayed healthy and even cured illnesses by taking baking soda to alkalinize the body.
acidic body cause can cause cancer and acidc lympatic system while blood ph does get balanced lympatic PH does not , the man the found cancer and got nobel also believed
the same same things the university that trying to proved our body functions said that with this technice alzalize you body and lower inflammation
many conditions triggered by a acidic body and acids in the lympatic can damage the kidneys perhaps? maybe more ? about G E R D i treat it with hormone balance and communication fixes
and lympatic cleance also most of the unhealthy food are acidic and fruits and vegetables are acaline , so with that logic a guy who is vegan must have GERD
Since his foods are mostly alcaline thus stomach become alcaline and he get malabsorption etc and cant digest vegetables anymore coz they are not the easyest to digest
but thats not happens also acidic body get dehydrated skin and many more ( talking from experience ofc)
Estudie agroecologia por que trabaja en salud y los usuarios tomaban mucho antiasidos y tetminaban siempre mal por eso desido estudiar esto para mirar que alimentos o plantas mejorarian la salud de muchos , me encanto su esplicacion gracias
Betaine hydrochloride and Apple cider vinegar helps to acidify the stomach
Thank you Dr Berg!!
Dear dr Berg this is such great information. I share your site with everyone I can. You are the best doctor I've ever had. Mary Jo Fletcher Alpine Oregon
Growing up as a kid, I had a lot of stomach issues for many years. Ended up been told that my stomach makes too much acid. Funny thing is, I also had 99% of these “low stomach acid” symptoms but mine was high stomach acid. So I don’t know what to make of this 🤷🏾♀️ I’ve been feeling much better reducing the acidity level 🤷🏾♀️
If you are an O blood type then you probably do have a more acidic stomache. Blood type diet tells you what foods to avoid. Dr. Adamo.
Because he’s wrong on this one that’s why.
What did you do to reduce the acidity?
What did u do to reduce the acid?
I found all your content VERY HELPFUL!!!!👏🙌☝️
Highly acidic stomach is good to digest food but acidic body is not good. They are two very different things. The more alkaline your body the better. There will be less inflammation, and body will be able to heal itself.
How can I do that?
@MichelleMevigara Dry fasting? Like no water??
Thanks for the video 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 surprisingly Dr Eric made this video very short!
Very glad to be of help.
Thank you Doc🙏..for all the knowledge you've impacted in to our lives..may God richly bless you a thousand folds and make everything you touch a success..
I am following your videos sincerely and it is extremely beneficial. They are very knowledgeable giving a wholistic view in a easy to understand manner. Thanks a ton for sharing such immense knowledge
It seems there's some confusion between alkalizing the body vs alkalizing the stomach. But you can't actually change the PH of the body, as we self regulate at around 7.2 (i believe), because we'd die otherwise. We do that by drawing minerals from our stores (e.g., muscle and bone). If you want to put downward/acidic pressure on your body, eat a ton of sugar. And if you want to put upward/alkalizing pressure on your body, eat a mineral rich diet (e.g., dark leafies full of potassium), and things like lemons which are acidic to your stomach, but alkalizing to the body.
Great info! I do drink a glass of ACV with water daily. I love it! I also overeat daily and feel yucky when I first wake up. I’m thinking maybe I should also drink some ACV before bed. I am also trying to stop overeating to see if that is what makes me feel nauseous every morning. What’s that saying,….“you are what you eat and the company you keep!” Changing what you eat can literally change your life!
