Huge Pharma Pays Huge $$$ to Social Media Influencers (You'll Never Guess Who)

Your favorite social media influencers might be under the influence. Discover the truth about Big Pharma and the social media influencer marketing corruption tactics they use to spread health misinformation online. Don’t let Big Pharma influencers affect your health choices! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Chapters: 0:00 Introduction: Big Pharma exposed 0:55 How Big Pharma buys influencers 1:24 Big Pharma corruption and lack of trust 2:24 How Big Pharma controls the media 7:11 How to identify health misinformation online 11:36 Myth-busting online Did you know that Big Pharma and Big Food buy social media influencers? These social media health gurus influence what you eat, the decisions you make about your health, and attempt to invalidate other health influencers and information. As Big Pharma loses public trust, it turns to social media influencers to try to regain it. Since 2000, penalties for Big Pharma have totaled over $126 billion. Sixty billion of that was related to patient injury and harm. Modern medicine, with the help of Big Pharma, has shifted its focus from health to profit. Approximately 90% of the media on TV is funded by Big Pharma. This is also true for digital marketing. On average, social media influencers are paid $20 to $25 per 1,000 views. If that influencer has more trust, they can make 8 to 12 times this amount. Based on my trustworthiness and credibility, I could be paid between $250,000 and $500,000 for a 60- to 90-second post. Big Pharma goes through PR firms to connect with social media influencers. These influencers are required to disclose that they’re being paid, but many of them do not. People like Dr. Mike recommend medicine and vaccines yet claim Big Pharma is not paying them. Dietitians for larger agencies, such as the American Beverage Association and the Canadian Sugar Institute, have gotten into trouble with the FTC for being paid to share dietary advice without disclosing their financial ties. It’s often difficult to determine whether Big Pharma is influencing health information online, but examining the intention can sometimes help. Are they recommending fewer ultra-processed foods and chemical drugs, or more? Check out their funding. Is it coming from Big Food or Big Pharma? This is a big sign that they’re being influenced.

DON'T DO THIS IF YOU'RE OVER 50!!!

Find out what supplements NOT to take and what supplements to take as you age, especially if you’re over 50. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements. 0:00 Introduction: What to take and what not to take as you age 0:18 Iron supplements 0:30 Side effects of iron supplements 1:05 Calcium supplements 1:28 Hypercalcemia 1:50 Synthetic vitamin A 2:30 What supplements to take as you age Today, I’m going to tell you about the best and the worst supplements to take as you age. Let’s start with iron supplements. Our bodies do not have a good way of eliminating excess iron, which can damage the liver. Too much iron can increase your risk of infection and also deplete zinc. Donating blood can help eliminate excess iron. If you have anemia, the best sources of iron are red meat, liver, grass-fed liver pills, or spleen extract. Many people consume too much calcium, which can build up in the arteries and kidneys. Synthetic vitamin A can cause damage to the liver, osteoporosis, and increased intracranial pressure. Best vitamins to take as you age: 1. Vitamin C 2. Vitamin B3 3. Magnesium 4. Vitamin D 5. Vitamin K1 6. Vitamin K2 While most synthetic vitamins should be avoided, synthetic vitamin C can be beneficial under certain circumstances.

They Are Deceiving You About Acid Reflux

I know firsthand how troublesome heartburn and acid reflux can be. Antacids such as TUMS can provide temporary relief but are not long-term solutions. In this video, I'll show you how to stop heartburn naturally with the best acid reflux remedies. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Apple cider vinegar vs. TUMS 1:53 What is heartburn? 4:27 Beetroot juice powder ad 4:54 Symptoms of low stomach acid 10:03 Apple cider vinegar for heartburn and acid reflux 10:49 How to stop acid reflux and heartburn 14:39 Root cause of low stomach acid 16:11 Gastritis and ulcers GERD, acid reflux, and heartburn aren’t caused by too much acid. These related conditions are actually caused by a lack of acid, or stomach acid that's not very acidic. You can not fix these problems by further depleting your stomach acid! Antacids only address the symptoms and not the root cause. Symptoms of low stomach acid include: •GERD •Heartburn •SIBO •Increased susceptibility to gastric cancer •Anemia •Abdominal pressure •Reflux •Less tone in the stomach valve Problems with the autonomic nervous system can also affect the valve at the top of the stomach, leading to heartburn. In this case, vitamin B1 can be a helpful solution. Low stomach acid can also cause problems with H. pylori. Diluted apple cider vinegar helps address acid reflux symptoms for many people. Dilute 1 to 2 tablespoons in 8 to 12 ounces of water and drink with a straw. Betaine hydrochloride is one of the best home remedies for acid reflux. Research has shown that it can restore normal gastric acidity levels within 30 minutes! Take 2 to 7 before a meal. Vitamin D and magnesium are also vital for adequate stomach acid levels. The following factors are often at the root of low stomach acid, contributing to GERD, heartburn, and acid reflux: •Junk food •Frequent eating •Low salt •Low zinc, iodine, B1, and magnesium •Low protein intake •Type 2 diabetes If ACV or betaine hydrochloride makes your problem worse, you may have gastritis or an ulcer. Zinc carnosine is one of the best remedies!

After going through my own kidney stone nightmare, I dove deeper into how to prevent kidney stones and lower the risk of kidney disease. Most kidney stones are either uric acid or calcium oxalate stones, and they’re closely tied to diet and lifestyle.

Here’s how magnesium helps prevent kidney stone development: •Binds to oxalates •Vitamin D co-factor •Controls calcium concentrations •Helps balance urinary salts and minerals •Reduces mineral crystallisation in the kidneys In addition to magnesium, several other scientifically proven strategies can help support healthy kidneys and lower the risk of kidney stones. These 20 tips can help prevent kidney stones: 1. Take magnesium glycinate 2. Drink lemon water 3. Prioritize leafy green vegetables 4. Regularly eat pumpkin seeds 5. Minimize dietary oxalates 6. Avoid cola and other phosphorus-containing soda drinks 7. Take vitamin D3 with magnesium 8. Avoid supplements with calcium carbonate 9. Drink plenty of fluids 10. Incorporate potassium-rich foods 11. Follow a low-carb diet 12. Eat fermented foods 13. Avoid high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) 14. Reduce alcohol consumption 15. Support optimal stomach acid levels 16. Practice effective stress management 17. Replenish electrolytes 18. Avoid overtraining 19. Talk to your doctor about magnesium-depleting medications 20.
