Descripción

Pharma meds were never designed to “fix” you. In this video, we’ll discuss some of the pharmaceutical industry’s secrets, the truth about prescription drugs, and the money-making scheme known as the US healthcare system.

By this new definition, any natural remedy, such as a plant, herb, or food that helps an ailment in some way, can now be classified as a drug. In 1900, there were fewer than 200 diseases. There are now over 17,000! This has allowed disease to become a huge, profitable business. Drug patents are protected and policed by the FDA. This means you can not sell or profit from a natural remedy, even if it’s backed by legitimate research, without FDA approval. The following 7 natural remedies are not only comparable to prescription medication, but work better based on randomized control studies: •St. John’s wort has proven better than SSRIs for depression •Red yeast rice is more effective than statins •Black cohosh is better than hormone replacement therapy •Berberine is more effective than Metformin •Lavender oil is more effective for anxiety than Lorazepam •Saw palmetto is better than Tamsulosin •Wormwood is better than Mesalazine Although there is credible evidence supporting these natural remedies, you can not claim they cure disease or reduce the risk of disease. Most drugs work by inhibiting an enzyme, blocking a specific biochemical pathway in the body. This does not address the root problem, hence why you don't come off of prescription drugs, because they're not fixing anything. When you visit the doctor, they will typically address your symptoms, largely ignoring lifestyle changes that could help. They will not recommend natural remedies because, by definition, they are considered drugs and would have to go through the FDA to be prescribed.

The 13 Greatest Blood Sugar Mistakes Diabetics Make (Correct This Now)

Find out how to improve blood sugar control and stop making common blood sugar mistakes! In this video, we’ll cover 13 blood sugar mistakes to avoid, along with the best blood sugar management tips for healthy blood sugar levels. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Chapters: 0:00 Introduction: Stop making blood sugar mistakes! 0:25 High blood sugar explained 2:41 Insulin resistance and diabetes 5:47 Common blood sugar regulation mistakes 12:22 How to lower blood sugar naturally 14:05 More blood sugar management tips Did you know that all of the blood in your body should only contain a single teaspoon of sugar? Our bodies tightly regulate the amount of sugar in our blood at any given time. If you have prediabetes, that number rises to 1.5 teaspoons. With diabetes, the blood contains 2 teaspoons of sugar. The average person consumes between 50 and 100 teaspoons of sugar every day. Insulin removes the sugar from your blood and converts it to fat or stored sugar in the liver and muscles. The body only needs a tiny amount of sugar (which the liver can make on its own), so we don’t actually need to consume any sugar at all. Chronic excessive sugar consumption can lead to the development of insulin resistance, which is at the root of many chronic diseases. Improve blood sugar control by avoiding these common mistakes when testing your blood sugar. 1. Not washing your hands 2. Using alcohol wipes incorrectly 3. Using expired strips 4. Hot sauna or cold plunge before testing 5. Tylenol usage 6. Taking vitamin C and other supplements 7. Squeezing fingers 8. Using different fingers 9. Using continuous glucose monitors 10. Testing at high altitudes 11. Drinking coffee 12. Checking glucose in the morning 13. Dehydration An A1C test measures the average blood sugar over a period of 3 months. Several factors, including ethnicity, anemia, and diet, can affect these results. The liver is at the root of the problem when it comes to type 2 diabetes. Fortunately, a low-carb diet with intermittent fasting can quickly eliminate liver fat and correct insulin resistance and diabetes. To further support healthy blood sugar levels, try the following: •Consistent exercise •Apple cider vinegar diluted in water before meals •Morning walks •Berberine •Get plenty of sleep •Reduce stress levels •Increase sunlight exposure DATA: https://www.virtahealth.com/blog/the-...https://www.businesswire.com/news/hom...https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/...https://cardiab.biomedcentral.com/art... https://www.cambridge.org/core/journa...https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/11/4/766 Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.

Does Your Supplement Contain Maltodextrin? Detect It with This Simple Test!

FREE PDF: The Worst Ingredient Hiding In Your Foods 👉 https://drbrg.co/3UcFAVD 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. Maltodextrin could be in the supplements you take. Use this simple test to find out—all you need is iodine. DATA: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/maltodextrin#:~:text=Maltodextrin%20has%20a%20high%20glycemic,advice%20of%20a%20healthcare%20practitioner. https://youtu.be/XnF9OczedMw https://youtu.be/5YMDOX71TeI https://youtu.be/59FatWCti94 0:00 Introduction: Hidden sugar in supplements 0:25 How to find hidden sugar 4:14 Maltodextrin explained 8:04 Learn more about maltodextrin! Did you know some health supplements contain hidden sugar, like maltodextrin? Today, I will share a simple test to find hidden sugar in your food and health supplements. Iodine mixed with water is a golden color. If you combine iodine with starch, it turns blue. When you add iodine to bread, for example, it turns blue. Or, if you put maltodextrin in water and add a few drops of iodine, the water will turn blue. My brand of electrolyte powder doesn’t have any sugar or maltodextrin in it. However, when we look at a competitor’s electrolyte powder that also claims it doesn’t have sugar or maltodextrin, it turns blue when iodine is added. Maltodextrin behaves like sugar, spiking insulin, but can be classified on a label as a carb and not a sugar. On the glycemic index, table sugar is at 65, and glucose is at 100—maltodextrin is between 105 and 185. Maltodextrin is the most common starch added to supplements and other products. If there is less than one gram of maltodextrin in a product per serving size, the company doesn’t even have to state it. Maltodextrin can also be found in flavorings, energy gels, sports powders, and even baby formulas. It’s important to be aware that some so-called keto-friendly products can also contain maltodextrin.

Today, I'm going to share how you can do this technique right at home. If you have sinus congestion or your sinuses aren't draining, you can use this technique to help open your sinuses and breathe better. Common causes of sinus problems are infections, a fungus growing in your sinuses, or a cheese allergy. If you have a sinus issue, you should avoid cheese and sugar to see if that clears the problem up. Two of the best natural remedies for sinus congestion and other sinus issues are diluted kimchi juice and Spanish black radish. Before you use this acupressure technique, check your sinuses by plugging one nostril with your finger and breathing in, and then repeat with the other nostril. Rate how bad your sinuses are, and then give this acupressure technique a try. After you're done, check and rate your sinuses again—I think you'll notice a huge difference. Watch this video for a full demonstration of how to use acupressure to help open your sinuses.
