Hi Dr.Berry, I loved your videos and practically they saved my life! My A1C came down from 10.2 to 6.3 in 6 months and I am off most of my medications except for one blood pressure medicine. My doctor wouldn't believe it but I just let the test data speaks for itself! In my doctor's mind, she thinks I am too extreme! I saw your Lemon water video and I agreed with you that just lemon juice by itself doesn't provide much benefit! However, if you use the whole lemon (including the skin and everything), it does have some health benefits in my opinion. Four months into my diet, my weight loss stalled and my blood sugar stayed at 110 mg/dL for some reasons that I wasn't aware of. I couldn't figure out why they stalled and what I screwed up! I tried everything and I even thought my black tea and my blood pressure medication was the cause of the problem. I stopped them and nothing change except my blood pressure was getting higher! Then I saw one of the videos from Dr.James Kneller about how he eats a lemon a day and its health benefits. I figured I would give it a try. The way he's doing is kind of gross I have to admit! So I turned the whole lemon into a drink with water and added Stevia. To my surprised, my blood sugar went down to 85 mg/dL that afternoon and it stayed there. And my weight loss resumed within the next few days. I am not medically smart enough to understand why or what's going on but I have to believe that the whole lemon juice did affect my body chemistry somehow. I've been drinking this cocktail for two weeks now. And my sugar is at 75mg/dL now and my weight is going down slowly! I just want to put it out here and perhaps you can investigate if the whole lemon approach indeed has some benefits that we are not aware of. After all, what you are doing is indeed life saving and I really want to help this community to spread out the words and fix some health problems that pharmaceutical companies don't want anyone to fix! God bless you. David
❤❤❤thank you David! This is a wonderful post! When I use lemon in cooking, I always use the whole lemon and eat the peel. I do with other citrus too. I'm going to try to be more aware and intentionally eat a little more lemon and see if I can improve my results too.😊
@@nancylouin2002 Me as well...😊
Thank you for your input. This is the type of success story we all need.
Excellent response and testimony to whole lemons and juice benefits. If you drink lemon juice just be careful to rinse your mouth thoroughly with water right after to avoid any tooth damage.
For science purposes only I’m gonna try this! Thank you
Hi.. :) I'm a retired Physical Therapist with a history of Kidney stones. I had a kidney stone (seen on Xray) and My family physician told me to drink a glass of warm water and half a lemon every morning 1/2 hour before eating. The kidney stone disappeared in 10 days (proven by Xray). Since doing this I have not had another kidney stone in 10 years now. A happy camper!!👍👍
Wow wow . I drink lemon water almost daily and seeing the comment makes me happy haha . Kidney stones are no joke
Thank you for sharing this! I too have known people who have been able to dissolve or soften kidney stones which then pass through the body easily with zero pain by using the remedy you just described.
Glad to hear I'll try that, i have kidney problems myself.
This was the only point he made that I whole heartedly believe he might not understand. It definitely keeps stones away and or reduces developed stones
My personal experience is the same. Having had stones numerous times, I've learned that at the first sign of those tweaky kidney jabs I get started on the lemon water. It works to pass the stones. I've also heard a urologist say that lemon has been shown to inhibit binding of oxalates(but wouldn't say it dissolved them). So if I'm going to enjoy some high oxalate food like almonds or spinach I always have some lemon water with it.
I am a water drinker and I drink my water with lemon juice every single day. I've done this for decades. I do it simply because I find it refreshing and I like the taste.
and much better than soda of any kind
Most of the goodness is in the pith. Try it with Braggs apple cider vinegar in the morning.
I drink hot lemon water every day.

For my 2 cents the other content creator was my first exposure to a veritable mountain of truth and information the no one else was sharing. He helped my husband (who reversed Type 2 diabetes) and I turn our health around. I believe that he's sincere in his efforts to help people. And whether he is right or wrong we should remember that no one is going to be right 100% of the time no matter how well meaning. Many people tout research today that will be debunked tomorrow. And Dr. Berg heavily relies on studies. He doesn't just make anecdotal or surmised pronouncements. Let me also say that many of the doctors who are doing functional medicine are chiropractors. They had a whole body approach when typical Western trained M.D.s were treating symptoms and dismissing concerned patients like me. My husband's doctor told him he would need to be on medication for the rest of his life to manage his diabetes. At 31! So much respect to all the "not a doctors" out there who had more integrity than many "real doctors". There are great people and awful people in every profession. I really appreciate Dr. Berg for stepping up. ❤
Ty! 🙏🏽
I wish I can like your comment a thousand times. You nailed it for.
Yes! Exactly! Heck, the doctor I see myself is a chiropractor/ kinesiologist that also does acupuncture and uses a lot of natural supplements Standard Process, and others, and he's helped me sooo much! The western doctors have really let me down- can't even figure out the MAJOR problem I have, that my natural Dr connected to adrenal with one session and muscle testing! It's a shame that all these western Dr's won't get onboard with the alternative Dr's and collaborate, we'd have the best medical care available! But just like everything else, it's always one side against the other😔 So frustrating! That's ok, we all know Dr Berg is amazing and he's actually the one most of us found first that even led us to Dr Berry, because you tube recommended other keto videos!
Well said
My sentiments exactly 👍
I watch both of you as do a vast majority of your audience. I’ve been on lemon juice and water for the past 3 years. It works wonders. The proof is in my blood tests. It’s truly amazing. Haven’t been sick in 10+ years. You should both collaborate. I think you’d find you’re more similar than different. And yes, you’re calling him out. You can agree to disagree or do a video together to discuss. I’d love to see that as would your followers. Not everyone can do carnivore and Dr. Berg is a wonderful alternative with the Keto he shares. He’s changed many lives for the better as he did mine ❤
Thank you.
I agree! Great comment.💜🙏
How are you sure that the lemon water itself is the reason your blood work improved? If you increased your water consumption as a whole, and changed your diet and lifestyle, it’s impossible to know that the lemon water is what saved you. The only way it would be proof is if you kept every single thing in your life the same (including the amount of water you already consume) and just added lemon everyday. I think people are really passionate about lemon water because it helps them to consume more water in general which makes them feel better which is great! But if there’s no scientific evidence then there’s just not.
I always wondered what a chiropractor was doing making nutritional videos.
My Dr knows i do lemon juice I've told her, and recently she asked me not to do lemon juice before my blood work, shes always trying put me on pills! notta!!!
You changed my life Dr. Berry - carnovore diet helped me: 1. Become not morbidly obese; 2. Not be a type 2 diabetic; 3. Improved my kidney disease; 4. Improved all my joint pain so I can walk better. I’d say that was much more important than squeezing lemons! And, it’s a diet you can LIVE on the rest of your life. I’m 77 years old and I thank you so much for your videos and telling us the truth. God bless you!
Nice comment and well said, Also well done regarding your health. 👍
TOO MUCH MEAT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE KIDNEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MY GOSH!! I M NOT AN AVID PROTEIN EATER,AND I M NOT EVEN FAT!! I M SMALL SIZED
@@talkback6094 Hahaha, old advise that vilifies meat when carbs and sugar are to blame.
ditto
@@talkback6094 I only have one kidney and my blood work showed that it IMPROVED on the carnovore diet. The urologist was stunned at the improvement and said that whatever I was doing, keep it up. I found both my PCP and urologist were totally ignorant and very skeptical of carnovore but could not argue with the bloodwork results.
Anyone even remotely familiar with Dr. Berg's videos knows very well that he would never endorse the idea that just drinking water with lemon would work miracles. Dr. Berg places more than 80% emphasis on regular healthy habits, especially the KETO diet, intermittent fasting, regular physical activity, avoiding stress, sleeping well and above all avoiding sugars, carbohydrates, vegetable oils, alcohol and junk food, or reducing to as little as possible.
Exactly.
That's absolutely correct, and well said!👍
Dr. Berg does have a video here on the benefits of lemon water. Check it out for yourself.
Well said.
I agree 👍
Dr. Berg's advice got me from 245 to a tight 145 over a few months. I felt better and better every day. My labs went from wrecked, due to metabolic syndrome and diabetes, to perfect. My feet even got smaller. I am forever grateful to him for sharing his knowledge. PS I did not exercise at all. My bad.
I am at 245 did you do keto? Can one harm the liver and gallbladder? I strayed myself and sis walking and less food ... what diet you feel is obstanable ? And do you eat any other others.. exercise ?
@@joanneclark8256 I started flowing Dr. Bergs advice with his video on keto 101 for beginners and kept watching and learning. I cut all carbs and sugar out of my diet. I ate eggs, bacon, tuna, red meat and LOTS of dark leafy greens and other low carb vegetables. Eventually I started intermittent fasting but nothing too extreme and this was actually after my weight loss. I never exercised. I drank water and unsweet tea with lemon. At night I drank water with apple cider vinegar and lemon. I felt amazing and was never hungry. After a few days of no carbs or sugar I didn't miss them at all and found I craved the foods I was eating for keto. You will be amazed at how good you look and feel and how you shrink all over very quickly. Even my feet got smaller which may sound strange but Dr. Bergs talks about this in one of his videos.
You lost 100 lbs in 3 months?
@@chrisvanallsburg I went from pants size 20 wide to a 10 in about three months. The weight loss took about seven months. I was heavy most in my belly which is typically SO hard to lose from. On keto that tummy just went away. I went from handfuls of belly to just the smallest pinch of fat.
That is awesome blessings to you. What did you do to loose all the weight? Also how long did it take you.
HI, these are the following benefits from drinking lemon water every day: Stomach ulcer like pain dissapeared for 12 years, I had only one cold in 12 years. It was covid that I handled really well. My skin improved I do not have any weight issues My cellulite dissapeared I can say after 12 years consuming one lemon evey day I have only one problem: I am addicted to lemon!
Wow!

Lmao ok
I have much respect for both Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg. Dr Berg has introduced thousands of people to the ketogenic diet and along the way helps the same people find Dr Berry.
Oh, you need to look into what his son says about his research. Berg is a shill for Scientology. Just do a search for Scientology.
Yep, totally agree. This was a little disappointing me that Dr. Berry would do this. He took a LOT out of context with Dr. Bergs video on lemon juice, and I've been a big fan of Dr. Berry but Dr. Berg has helped both me and my wife with natural remedies and keto. I'm mostly carnivore now and though I enjoy it I hate to see people try and tear other down when they are really good at helping people. Very disappointing!
The sad thing is that his money goes to the Church of Scientology. He’s not what you think. He does have some great information which I appreciate but to him anyone who isn’t a Scientologist, is what they call a “Suppressive Person” or “SP”. And that’s how he refers to us. Especially if there’s a negative comment made.
“Dr” berg is NOT a doctor. He has zero qualifications.

Is there a significant difference between a real lemon and the "real" lemon juice you get in the bottle? The stores up here are wanting up to eight bucks for a lb of lemons.
Dr Berg is amazing! Lots of comments about him being a chiropractor! Well he is an extremely intelligent sensible not to mention incredibly educated! And would not entertain making a video downgrading someone’s work or efforts to help others.
He is a typical Palmer supplement hack. That is of course not all he is, but he was trained to be a con salesman.
Drinking lemon water with meals has definitely helped my gastritis. We’re all different
I've been drinking lemon juice for over 2 years now, it is a miracle solution! I lost weight, my indigestion issues are no more, my BP is down, my type 2 diabetes is gone, and it does help with kidney stones. Plus, it helps me drink more water. Not sure on the fatty liver, cholesterol benefits. But my stomach is flatter then ever, I think it help remove the fat around internal organs. I'm 51 and have been dealing with a mess of health issues.
So, it helps you to drink more water. There's your miracle solution, just drink more water!!!
Yup some "doctor's" from America were taught the natural way doesn't work. I've been going to a homeopathic doctor since 2yo and let me tell you. The natural way works
@@phillip73able it isn't just the water. Lemon juice breaks down fat! Think about the Orange hand cleaner mechanics use to clean grease off their hands. The citrus acid destroys fat.
Did you make any change in your diet??

Due to type2 diabetes I gave up grains years ago but my weight continued to go up. Went ketovore/carnivore thanks to Dr. Berry's videos. I have lost over 80lbs so far & am off of insulin. THANK YOU DR BERRY!
T2D took my mothers life, I’m glad you’re doing better
@OverlandTT My mother died from complications of type 2 diabetes as well. So sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for your kindness. I was already keto, but I needed to go ultra low carb to lose the constant hunger and to finally be able to lose weight.

Lets all lift each other up instead of putting others down ❤❤
Dr. Berry, I enjoy your videos. I went through a time where I had kidney stone attacks 6 times in 5 years. The last time I required surgery and was out of work for 3 months. When I visited my urologist he told me that the stone was gone but there was at least another 10 in my kidneys. He did not offer much hope but said some people benefit from drinking real lemon juice. Lemonade with real lemon was recommended, but I did not want the sugar. So I started drinking a glass of lemon juice from a fresh lemon every morning. That was about 12 years ago and I have not had another attack. I know you said "maybe" they benefit those with stones, I can attest that it changed my life. Perhaps you can do a bit more research on this particular topic.
Right. He's way off here.
Same with my. Constant kidney stones. Until she started drinking lemon water
(My wife)
I have had horrible time with stones as well and i have 1 lemon every day since my last stone 4 years ago and haven't had any more since
It is such an amazing cure...inexpensive and effective! I was so angry that I had to go through 6 attacks before anyone told me, but still glad I can now tell others.@@AnnMoss-nw2fk

I had recurring urinary infections over many years. I decided to try drinking lemon juice in water over two years ago and have not had a urinary infection since. When I got called back to see the urologist at hospital, he wanted to know why my infections had stopped, I told him what I was doing, he just smiled, he was no believer. Now I still drink my lemon juice every day, but these days with added organic cider vinegar.
Yes indeed! Lemons do heal.
My sister in law was worried to hear that she had a fatty liver, a friend told her to drink lemon water, she started it first thing every morning. After 3 months, the next test, fatty liver was gone. She even told me that many commented on her glowing skin. May be each individual is different
It's helped with my complexion
Sometimes you have to take these Drs and their opinion with a grain of salt. I’m sure Dr Berry believes what he’s saying and means well but that doesn’t mean it’s fact. I believe lemon juice has more benefits than he leads on but I’m no “Dr”.
The question is what else did she change in her life? We often focus on one or very few things while we changing way more. But since drinking Lemonwater does not harm anyone unless you practice it in a very excessesive way.. why not keep doing it if one likes the taste. Just don't rely on it as the next best miracle.
Is she on The Carnivore diet, or eat mostly Protein?

About ten years ago I lost a kidney due to being a “stone-maker.” I had stones in the my surviving kidney as well! I started drinking lemon water every day, first thing in the morning. Each year I go in for an ultrasound. Bottom line, I’m kidney stone free. I do agree that it makes water easier and more enjoyable to drink, but anecdotally I’m giving it a thumbs up for eliminating my kidney stones.
I had kidney pain for two years, my doctor was not helpful at all. I started drinking lemon juice and water, and within a week, that stone moved and I passed it. No more pain!
Lie
as one that suffers kidney stones its the fact you were drinking tons of water that u passed stones not the lemon.
I have been drinking lemon water and I have experienced clear skin, tones of vitamin C that has deterred sickness and more energy. Mostly clear and radiant skin!
I just started drinking it every day about 2 weeks ago. And I can tell you my bowel movement, which was non-existent, has become regular, and I feel better! I literally tried everything and expressed concern when I went to have a colonoscopy and they say no blockages and my doctor started me on linzezz (i think thats how its spelled) but it was terrible for me worked like a laxative on steroids and I didn't want to have to do that daily. But THE LEMON WATER is WORKING FOR ME . Natural bowel movement, and I'm going EVERY DAY NOW!!! So the effects on the Kidneys and Intestines have to be correct. 😊
i've been drinking it throughout the day -my poops just slide out now lol. and i'm glowing 😍
Dr. Berry , i have a lot of respect for your expertise as an M.D. but as far as lemon juice for kidney stones you need to know that drinking the juice of one lemon a day for kidney stones has changed my life dramatically. I can testify that it has truly reduced my kidney stone problem to almost zero from having to deal with them constantly
I'm sure it's helped you in some way, but as Dr. Berry pointed, stopping the consumption of what is the leading cause of kidney stones (oxalate) is what will help reduce (in some people it will prevent) the formation of kidney stones. I hope you drink your lemon juice through a straw to help protect your tooth enamel. Lemon juice has certain side effects while stopping the consumption of oxalate foods doesn't.
It helped with my heartburn. I don't need it much anymore.
Nope don't think it was the lemon...more like the uptake in more water. Dr tell kidney stone patients to drink 2 liter of water a day and never have a kidney stone again....Not sure that a very good answer though. Just keep your potassium up is the best way to avoid them I think. I heard they are from low potassium. Guess that means eat more meat! See how I did that...got right back to the healthiest food there is for the human....meat!
Stopping eating oxalates is what helped me! I had massive kidney stones on a keto diet with lots of spinach salads and almond flour. No stones now on carnivore.
It gave me heartburn
I think the individual referred to is Dr Berg. In his video, with 11m views and from 2 years ago, Dr Berg does explain with sufficient details the reasons for the benefits he lists and does state that some tests were ran on animals. He doesn’t just recommend lemon water as a miracle drink. He qualifies his statements.
Makes me wonder if he watched the video. He was very clear about the weight loss thing. Anyone that watches any video and doesn’t listen to what’s being said can misinterpret anything.
Have you tried lemons? I had a skin condition and sore knees for 2 years. After 1 week of adding lemon juice to every drink , the skin cleared immediately and within 1 week my knees were dramatically better. As of now my knees are 100% better.
Thank you Dr. Berry! You and Neisha have truly changed my life through your educational videos. I have reversed Fatty Liver, kicked sugar and carbohydrate addiction, NO MORE MIGRAINES, reduced pain and inflammation in my feet, knees and back, lost 60lbs of fat, gaining more muscle, no more menopause symptoms, I can sleep through the night now, got rid of lifelong terrible constipation, no more bloating, gas pains, no more foggy brain, I have lots of energy and am able to handle life’s challenges without feeling big emotional swings. It’s truly incredible to see the lists that people post on your videos of health issues resolving and I’m so grateful they take the time to do so because it really helps to read the real life testimonies of transformation and healing. I thank God for y’all’s boldness, courage and love for people.

I had kidney stones and had to have a procedure to removed them and I was told that I would never have kidney stones again, well three months later I am urinating pink again and that is when I discovered lemon water. I has been over four years and I still eat chocolate everyday, spinach and other thing that cause oxalates and kidney stones, but never had a problem with stones again. I drink 8oz with half a lemon 1/2 hour before breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday and it works for me.
1 Lemon has 1 Gram of Sugar… Why is he saying that’s going to be a problem for insulin resistance?
Cranberry juice helped my husband. He drinks a small glass a day and hasn't had any more for over ten years so far.
Yes! I believe the lemon water is the cure.
Yes! Warm lemon water stopped the pain of a stone dead in it's tracks. I'll never be without lemons.
Oxalates go all over, not just stones in the organs.
Ok but one thing I know for sure about lemon water is that it's anti-inflammatory for the liver. Lemon water is helping me heal from hepatitis caused by steatosis. I no longer have steatosis but I still have inflammation and lemon water reduces the pain 100%.
Yes, and it’s helped reduce my fatty liver too!
Lemon juice has about 100 benefits.. he’s full of shit and apparently pushes chemo
I just found that I have that any advice for me mine is severe hepatis steatosis
Have you tested this with just increased water without lemon? It might be that it's the water that does this and lemon just helps you with the taste. Because, if you start drinking lemon water than that means you increased your water intake as well. Unless you already drank that amount of water and just added lemon to it but for most people that is not the case. Also, are you certain nothing else in your diet and lifestyle has changed that might have contributed to this positive outcome? When multiple factors are to be taken into consideration, you cannot isolate a single factor as beneficial. I'm not saying it does nothing, but you should take other factors into consideration too. Unless nothing else has change and all you did was add lemon to the water you already drank.
Dr Berg has helped countless numbers of people but what we have to keep in mind not everyone is right all the time. When need to listen and trust ourselves and what our own bodies tell us as well. We can also think for ourselves, my point being none of us has it all figured out. We are all doing the best we can. I respect both of these men but both are still humans. Keep up the good work. And yes we have to be open to different opinions. Take what you need and discard the rest.

Could it be that the amount of water you drink is the more important factor here and that the lemon is just flavor? Have you tested only water without lemon over a certain time period to see if it actually is the lemon that is the helpful factor? If not, how can you tell the lemon is that beneficial and not just flavor? I'm not saying it does nothing but when multiple factors are to be taken into consideration, you cant isolate a single factor to be beneficial.
@@pythontest512 agree.... just hydrating in the morning is beneficial, plus, how does drinking out of a glass straw change the acidity of the lemon? Pretty sure that it doesn't. If it makes you feel good, right on! But I doubt it's the reason you enjoy good health, more likely genetics, a healthy weight which probably means you eat a pretty low carb diet, and exercise.
@@cidk59 the straw is to shield the acid from her teeth as to not damage the enamel
Wow interesting that a person comments on their experience and you comeback with disbelief. She explained why and the outcome and you ask how does she know? She knows because the lemon is a fruit that contains vitamins etc. It does not just flavour the water. When you ask a question in future think about what you are asking and make it make sense. 🙄😅
@@mentalhealth9256 It makes perfect sense to question things before you make assumptions. I also did not respond in disbelieve. That is your assumption. I stated that if multiple things have changed, it might not be what she things it is which is perfectly valid but i guess assumptions are fine as long as they suit your opinion. Maybe you should review your assumptions before commenting on valid questions.
I fell for the lemon and apple cider vinegar. I had been drinking it every day and nothing happened for me until I started the carnivore diet. Carnivore has literally changed my life. I am back to having the energy to transform my 5 acres. It would have never been possible for me until I started the carnivore. I am documenting my transformation of my health and weight on my channel. I am doing it in real time. Yep. I have been on carnivore for 2 months and boy I am so happy I started it. Thank you for everything you are doing. Hugs and blessings to you and the family always
ACV has a different type of acid it is helpful for me, but took about 4 weeks, also helpful for digestion is carbonated water, but if a person eats lots of sugar, carbs, wheat especially, it may not help much.
@@buckjones4901 I quit sugar about a year ago and you should have seen what my feet and hands went through. It was terrible. I had had sugar in my coffer for over 30 years. I am so glad I quit using sugar. Now, I am having just carnivore, and I cannot begin to tell you the difference in my health. I have lost 35 lbs. But my energy and my mind has changed the most. It was very hard for me to post a video of me but my daughter said mom you are looking so much better and that is what I needed. I used to be a size 9. Seven years ago. Menopause has not been my best friend lol
I'm mostly carnivore but I will say that the ACV definitely helped not only me but my wife as well so ACV DOES work and this is coming from a guy that is 90% carnivore 10% plant based.
good eat plants because pure canivore and raw carni is just foolishness. we need the fiber@@shawnlewis1918
@@shawnlewis1918 I do put ACV in my water with a little bit of squeezed lemon and I put a little bit of the pink Himalayan salt as well.
Thank u dr berry you and your wife are a true blessing of the truth❤ I love your Audible book it truly open up my eyes and I changed doctors. I am still on my carnivore journey from 471 lbs to now 263 lbs. You are a tru inspiration❤
Congratulations
Great Job! 😊
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😊
Awesome, you should be proud of your commitment!
I love my lemon water. I've been drinking it for years and will continue to. Haven't had a cold since I've been drinking it
Bingo
Dear Dr. Berry Like I tell my young students on the daily, just play nice. We're all friends here😊 Mrs. Buretz❤
One thing I like about Dr. Berg is that he doesn’t talk about other content creators. He has helped so many people, myself included, in taking health thru nutrition seriously. He’s not perfect, but he’s a good guy who’s helping to teach wellness. I’ve found some useful info on your videos as well and you can make videos such as these, without referencing or bad-mouthing others. Ty.
He specifically didn’t mention the content creators name. You are the one that did. I figured it was Berg and knew at least one comment would mention the name and your comment did that. So thank you for the confirmation.
Berg>Baker>Berry
. @sandralindow4380 Yes, he didn't mention it but said we could check in the comments, so everyone did, and it's been mentioned several times
My problem isn’t that Bergs name is mentioned. I was just pointing out the person who is saying that Dr. Berry shouldn’t mention another content creator is the one that actual said the content creators name. Not Dr. Berry .

lol, no, I'm not giving up my lemons. I had fatty liver at stage S3. After a year of strict carnivore, it improved only slightly. I started blending a quarter to half of a lemon, peel and all, into 12oz of water daily (I missed a day here and there). By the time of my next fibroscan, my fatty liver was down to stage 0 ... very little fatty infiltration left (and the next HIDA scan showed my sluggish gallbladder was finally functioning perfectly normal after years of issue). And here's the kicker: after starting with the daily lemon water, about halfway through the year I stopped carnivore and went to a more high protein Mediterranean style diet ... yep, carbs baby. The quick and simple act of blending a quarter or half lemon daily for a refreshing lemon water drink, seemed to play a significant role in reversing my fatty liver, not to mention it brought my cholesterol down about 25 points. Dr. Berg has literally never steered me wrong yet.
Awesome!
Did you add anything else to this? Only lemon and water? Is it ok to add some salt? I need to reverse my fatty liver. Thank you
The peel too? How do you grind it fine enough to drink the peel?
One of my friends who had a strong acid reflux problem for years started to take a lemon diluted in 500 ml of water in the morning everyday.His acid reflux went away within a few weeks. This is in contrast to his doing several stomach endoscopies over the last 10 years with nothing coming out of these tests. On the other hand, he has no diabetes nor he is in a low carb diet. I think, one should still consider lemon seriously at least for acid reflux related issues if there is no ulcer formation.
When I'm really thirsty and water just doesn't help my thirst, I'll put a few drops of lemon in my water and drink it and that cures my thirst. Apple cider vinegar does the same thing.
Before October 2013 my wife and I, daily, would talk about our heartburn. ‘How many Tums did you take today or how many Zantac did you take”? Like I said, this was a daily discussion. She heard about all of the benefits of lemon water. None of the benefits had to do with heartburn. In October 2013, we started drinking lemon water daily. Since 2013 I have never taken one Zantac and have probably taken less than ten Tums in ten years. I’m 71 and never thought I would ever get rid of my heartburn. Thank you lemon water.
Is lemon water the only thing that you changed?
@@patcomly180 over the last 11 years I’ve probably changed things in my life to account for aging. However, the lemon water affect was almost instant.
I had GERD when I was 14; and was prescribed afew medications that had to be issued by a doctor(Tagament and Regulen, not sure if that's how they're spelt). They were horrible for side effects, so after afew years they came out with doctor prescribed Prevacid; to which I started taking daily. I was on that until I was 17, because my doctor would only prescribe me a 30-day supply and then want me back in for a doctor visit every 30 days(mind you, I was paying $60 per visit, and $250 a month for the pills at the time); one day I asked "Has anything changed in the last six months? Am I getting better or worse?" and he said "Nothing will change, you'll always have GERD." and I said "Then why don't you prescribe me 6-12 months at a time? Why am I coming in here every 30 days if nothing is going to change or needs to be tracked?" and with a straight face he says "I just like to see you." I got angry; and I told him I'll not be coming back, he can shove the prescription up his ass. Walked out, paid for that visit; and I never saw him again as a family doctor. I'm 41 now; he's retired. Here's something they don't tell you; DIET is how you manage stomach acid and GERD. Lifestyle changes, not medication. I was taking over the counter omeprazole for years, because it was the same thing as Prevacid but didn't require a doctor's prescription. I took those until I was 30; and then I did my own research; and learned that by taking proton pump inhibitors(Zantac, omeprezole, prevacid, etc) that your stomach goes into over-drive trying to create more stomach acid since it's acid secretion is being stymied. So if you miss a dose or two; you REALLY pay for it. Know what the solution is? Stop taking them, ween yourself off of them; DEAL with the flare-ups; and then start making better lifestyle choices for what you eat. I still have GERD, but after a month my stomach acid production went back to normal and I wasn't coughing it up into my throat, nor was it readily shooting up into my throat or mouth like it was before. I actually almost suffocated afew times as a teenager from the excess acidic mucous in my stomach, it covered my windpipe and almost killed me in my sleep. This mucous was so bad that when I'd brush my teeth in the morning, I'd have to cough it up off the top of my stomach; and it was a thick, viscous slime; it took hot water and soap to actually wash it off my hands and down the drain; but I had to cough it up every morning to 'clear' the top of my stomach, otherwise it would get coughed up into my throat and choke me during the day. I can now eat things I used to not be able to touch, chili, spaghetti, etc. I tend to stay away from acidic foods for the most part, and I'm not a fan of spicy foods at all; but it's so much better than it was 15+ years ago through most of my adult life and childhood. With GERD I have to becareful how I sit or sleep, and obviously can't have anything 'bad' to eat before bed or I risk it coming back up in my throat; but that's just life with GERD itself; when it comes to eating foods, the most I have to worry about is an upset stomach, bloating and diarhea; but that's part of making better food choices or being prepared for the outcome of what I eat. Also of note; I don't take Tums or anything else; I don't take any medicines to settle my stomach or alter anything like that anymore; because those act as band-aids; and for those of us with intestinal issues we can't be covering them up; we need to be more pro-active with our choices and accept that we gotta curb ourselves away from bad food decisions.
Helped me too. Ditch the heartburn "medicines" for good. It causes a bunch of problems. Killed a close family member. 😥
@@ShevaiAsan Yes. The things you described, especially the proton pump inhibitors ruined my close family members insides so bad that she never recovered. Towards the end, I learned all the natural ways to help the issue, but it was too late for her. I follow the anti-inflammatory diet and also drink lemon tea daily. I no longer have heartburn. Like you, I can even eat spaghetti sometimes, which used to give me terrible heartburn.
I just wanted to say , I like both of you guys Dr Berg and Dr Berry , both of you have helped countless of ppl with your online videos. there's no need to compete or talk about another Dr , just do your thing and live and let live. thanks guys !
Dr berry videos is trash dude
Yes. Both dudes gotta relax the ego a little. It’s probably a reaction to being rejected by the “medical community”. F the medical community
He makes sense ! It is important ! use your head !
Agree @brooksy8461, why tear the other down. Dr. Berg stresses HEALTHY KETO AND FASTING as the main factors for improving metabolic health. I started my journey with him & find his content very reliable & informative. No one should take things to extremes.
It is important when the other person is giving incorrect information. I appreciate Dr Berry for that.
I'm still going to drink my lemon water.
Ive had tremendous positive health benefits with lemons, includinng with digestion. Il keep drinkimg my lemons
The one reason that Dr. Ken Berry stands “Head & Shoulders” above the rest is he has the humility & brilliance to say “Based on my further research & scientific fact, I Was Wrong.” Then goes on to explain why.

My personal experience: drinking lemon water helped me to get rid of the biofilm, accumulating probably due to my dairy consumption. I used to try to clear my throat frequently, singing became almost impossible. I tried lemon water in the morning and late afternoon as well. I could feel a substantial difference within 24 hours and there is no need for constant throat clearing, anymore. This was the problem I had been experiencing for several years. So: even though I really like Dr. Berry’s videos, this is a first instance I have to say, your research, Dr. Berry, was either not thorough enough, or you were too eager to bash your fellow medical professional, whom you happen to call “an influencer”.
Agree. One must not take some separate videos out of the context. I have done quite a number of Berg's videos too and I have no impression that he would ever trying to advise some wonder cure which does not require following proper diets and fitness excercises. But I give credits to all the good persons who try to educate people.
It's basically a Big Pharma trained one, against one who is trained to treat the whole body naturally and not just a body part!!
so if you cut out or reduced your dairy intake you wouldn't Need lemon water ?
@@xessq1 As one wise person noted - everyone is special. Try it and see if it does any change for you. It does for thousands, maybe it will for you too. I do both lemon/vinegar water and diary in reasonable amounts and all is well.
@@girtskarklins9499 All i was asking is if something causes you issues, maybe eliminating or reducing that which causes you issues would be a good thing? ... breaking it down to the most basic of concepts... whenever you hit your hand with a hammer it hurts, so maybe don't hit your hand with a hammer?
I have been drinking an organic lemon squeezed into lukewarm water every morning for the last 10 years. No arthritis, no gray hairs. No wrinkles and definitely no bladder stones and feel like iI'm still 30! My teeth are fine. I am not overweight either.
Dr Berry! No one compares to you. You’re the only medical doctor on KZhead that I listen to. And don’t get me started on those people who give advice they have no business giving because they’re not md’s. I say if they don’t know where the thyroid actually is, they don’t have anything I need to hear.
I appreciate Dr. Berg’s videos.
@AnnIn94550 Dr.Berg is a chiropractor
@@r-anne7375and Berry is a whackjob
so have I until i have realised that he was wrong many times.
@@r-anne7375Many functional medicine doctors are. Often they are the only ones recognizing the problems and willing to actually help people. They come from a whole body approach being that the specialize in the nervous system function. As opposed to symptom-specific treatment which is the futile western model. Many of them have been attacked when they were the first to speak up. After having 6 children it was the chiropractor I saw who took 30 minutes to talk to me at every visit and who explained to me that my pelvis was misaligned and causing pressure on my nerves. And who talked to me about the very same things that Dr. Berry and Berg discuss here. I would not have gotten the appropriate treatment with a traditional M.D. The ones I saw, including the Orth just resigned me to my fate and offered me surgery. Please, show some respect. Information is everywhere. No one is limited by their station here.
I have been keto / carnivore since 2014 and Dr. Berg did help me but I don't have to agree with everything he states.
Ive drank a whole juice of a lemon with warm water and through a straw for years in the morning. It helps me take a poop and most importantly intensifies the antioxident effects of green tea which also drink every morning. I love it
Which do you drink first? How close together? How much water with the lemon juice?
I put lemon juice in my water with green veggie powder and lavender extract. So not only am I hydrating myself with water it also helps me drink veggie powder and lavender for a calming night agent. I hope this is okay!
Oxalates much?
Yes Ken... straight talking and no foolishness...love it...☝🏾😎💯🔥
Lemon juice and AVC have helped several of my medical problems
Agreed. I know it dissolved my kidney stones. Not just once, but multiple times.

Found from the beginning of my keto/carnivore journey ( 2018 ) that you have to have discernment when watching these influencers. I really appreciate you Dr. Berry! You are my trusted go to. Started my journey at age 69 and lost 80 pounds! Gained a few back over the years but now switched to carnivore with fantastic results, lost the pounds that creeped back👍
Fantastic!
You discern by not watching these goofs. There are about 10-15 people worthy of attention in this part of the zeitgeist. The rest are, well, you know.

Nice shirt!
Thank you Doctor Berry. There are a lot of negative comments about this video. They have missed the point of your video. Keep up the good work. Happy New year.
📣💯 beat me to it. They totally missed the point.
I think they missed the point because rather than this dr just passing on information he chose to take several minutes throwing shade to another "mystery" Dr (that we all know). If you have a story to tell just get on with it there are enough people for everyone to have their fair share of views. Sour grapes are not very tasty 😂
I've tried lemon water, whole lemon smoothie and apple cider vinegar. All three really made my stomach hurt. I just could not do it. This is the first time I've heard anyone tell the cons concerning lemons and apple cider vinegar. Thank you Dr. Berry.
Seriously? All I know is that generations of people people in my family all had kidney stones. I am the only person to make a consistent daily habit of drinking lemon water daily since my early 20's. I am 50 now. I am literally the only one who has not had any kidney problems.
You are aware that your anecdote literally proves nothing, right?
@richiemandina5305 so your point is to belittle another with your snarky comment? Because I don't give a flying flip if it's something cheap & easy to help myself or a loved one so be it
@@lindabe11a I belittled nobody, I pointed out a fact. A fact that other people should see before they think that one person’s story suggests anything other than coincidence. This is a channel about science, not fairy tales.
Glad you were spared the kidney stone journey for so long. When I was 50 I thought the same thing; then I discovered that there is no maximum age for kidney stones to appear. I am 74 and just diagnosed with a very pretty star shaped one with bands of minerals-kinda like an agate. Note to all: doctors are easily annoyed by people who request careful removal so the stone can be used in jewelry....
"this is a channel about science not fairy tales" ive never read anything more ironic.
I had been on lemon water last year and had no serious colds, then I quite it for a year and I got a bad cold that almost put me in the hospital, so I went back to lemon water and my cold was gone in one week 😊
it was gone in a week? just as they say: treated cold is gone in a week, untreated - in 7 days lol
@@nannuky1128 well I took more than just lemon water, vitamin D3 plus I was already taking cod liver oil and zinc but I have been low on vitamin C so I also started taking vitamin C daily and a natural vitamin C which is a red pepper 🌶️
I hope nobody really thinks it proves anything. There are many viruses responsible for the common cold, hundreds of them. Once you've encountered most of them (it happens soon or later, no need to have symptoms each time) and provided you are reasonably healthy you almost never get a cold. That's that simple. Note the terms "most of them" and "almost" there are important. So you can stay easily 3 or 4 years without getting a single cold but one day you meet one of the few ones that your immune system didn't know yet and you are ill for a few days or even for 3 weeks. No matter if you take your lemon juice every day or not.
Keep drinking water with lemon It's amazing !!
@@eagerlyawaiting5698 yeah but you can’t just drink lemon water only for your health but it’s better than just drinking water
Truth is such a breath of fresh air, thank you.
Just love your videos Dr. Berry ! Thank you for doing them and helping so many of us !!!
Like many comments on here I can also say Lemon juice has helped me. I was having digestive issues and found lemon water helped. It is also naturaly adds electrolytes to water. I don't buy into the extreme claims but if your on your health journey lemon water is a nice addition and shouldn't be reduced to just a enhancer to sparkling water.
It helped blast away my gallstones .beforehand after ultrasounds. Better than surgery ijad to drunk alot of lemons 4 day but it worked
Yep, I fell for it, blended the whole lemon, tasted almost as bad as ACV, even brushed my teeth with it. You're right, did nothing but make me loose, was costly, and grossed me out. Ribeye, there's the answer! Healing me one steak at a time, just wish it was cheaper. Thank you Dr Berry for 'caring more for others' than getting views; though I hope this one gets 22 million!!
i love ribeye, but i rotate with chuck steak and grass fed burgers ever three days to keep costs down. on the third day the ribeye tastes like such a treat. try it...

Yep. Keep teaching us Doc!👍
I believe you're referring to Dr. Berg. Although Dr. Berg may have put too much emphasis in the benefits of lemon juice, overall his ketogenic videos have done much more good than harm. BTW, Berg just recently talked good about Dr. Berry in a recent video.
1. He is not a medical doctor, although he uses Dr. in front of his name ON PURPOSE 2. He is a scientologist 3. Lacks common sense and honesty No, thank you.
@@AleksandarIvanov69 Yes agree

@@AleksandarIvanov69 the title of doctor has nothing to do with medical in the first place. It’s a level of education. Also, I couldn’t give a crap about his religious followings any more than I care about Dr. Berry’s religious leanings UNLESS I’m looking to them for religious info (which I’m not)
Scientology is not a religion it is a scam. He forces his "keto councilors" to join scientology as part of their employment. He is being sued for this. He raises tons of money for scientology through his products like wheat grass juice powder.
my urologist told me 15 years ago about lemon juice in my diet for prevention of Kidney Stones. I had dozens of these things in my life, since adding lemon juice to water I havent had one stone. Ill keep drinking the lemon water, thanks

It is specifically meant to dilate things in order to help pass small stones. Good luck. I know they are awful 🙏
Always great information from a physician who really changes people's lives daily, speaks out, practices what he preaches.
Love your videos 😅 most of all I like them because you’re honest and straightforward. Also, you get to the point you don’t drag things out. This shows me a lot about the person I’m watching. I think I’ve clicked onto that one a couple times and right off. Keep yours coming we level.❤
I follow Dr. Berg's BASIC ideas of low carb-carnivore, intermittent fasting, but I stay away from the more complex minutia of macronutrients and exotic herbs. His information got me started on the path I am on now Down 120 pounds.
Dr Bergs info saved my life and got me from 312# to 210#. I've been on a stall for about 2 years. Just started carnivore today! I love Dr Berry and Neisha!!❤
@@guflportgyrlsorry but what BERG did is disgraceful. Lying about the benefits of lemons, just for clicks and money is not good.
@JerseyShoreJim I think you're over thinking it. Assuming he intentionally lied?? It would be more fair to assume that he believes the information he provides to be the most accurate at the time he provides it. Afterall, he religiously includes and breaks down studies during his videos.
I add 1/2 lemon with a pinch of pink salt to 20 ounces of ice water and drink that throughout the morning. I have zero scientific proof, but that combination makes me feel better than when I just drank plain water.
awesome Ann glad you spoke up.
The salt in the water is where the magic takes place!🤠 Plus the placebo effects. Helping to drink more water,cold or hot almost always helps!
There's just something about lemon and salt water❤! I drink a cup of hot lemon water and salt in the morning now in place of my two to three cups of coffee. Then a few times throughout the day I have a few drops of lemon and salt in the water wirh ice. It definitely hydrates me more than water and salt. I sometimes switch to vinegar, but lemon is my go to. I am carnivore in every other way.
Very well said, I just discovered you on KZhead as I've just started the carnivore life style and bam you popped up. To bad there is so much disinformation in our world today, and we have to make sure that we do our own research to discover the truths. I'm definitely a new fan and subscriber. Keep it up!
I've never been big on lemon water. However, recently I've been adding lemon or lime juice, granted concentrate or from concentrate To the water I am making cold brew tea or electrolyte water with. I don't tolerate coffee but have always been a big tea drinker. I dont do lemon in my water for any reason on that list and I also add drops of home made fruit vinegar to my water as well. I have hashimotos and as a result have reactive hypoglycemia. I've been doing keto and if almost 2 years now and just finished a 1 month stint with carnivore behind digestive issues. I use the vinegar and lemon water as one way to help regulate my blood sugar. Its supposed to slow the absorption of the carbs I may eat. I'm not longer trying to lose weight since I've gotten mostly where I want to be with that. I've lost between 140-150 pounds in the past almost 3 years and gotten several of my symptoms reversed if not minimized. My labs are mostly in the green. I'm a 5'2 woman and went from between at least 260-270 pounds to I'm now around 120. This morning in fact I weighed myself in at 117.4 pounds. My main body comp goal at this time is dealing with the stretched skin and cellulite after such a massive change. I will say between my hashimotos and family history I'm at risk for thyroid cancer which I know is one of the most devastating and aggressive forms of cancer. Last year I had a thyroid ultrasound to see if I showed any signs. That came up showing my thyroid had nodules that showed signs of reduction meaning even after less than a year with keto and if I'd already reduced my cancer risk and k wasn't doing lemon water at that time. Lemon water has minimal health value in my honest opinion. Its great flavor wise, and if you keep it limited and sip throughout the day can help reduce blood sugar spikes if its a concern but I think thats about all it can do and honestly the blood sugar component only works when paired with other effective tools like low carb, if, adequate sleep, excersise, teasing, herbs like cinnamon, reduction of stress, etc that are known as very potent for the same thing. It works better in tandem than alone.
I stopped drinking coffee and replaced it with hot water and lemon every morning. My stomach thanks me every day. Thank you for validating my morning ritual. I'm also ketovore. I feel wonderful at 64.
There is natural energy tea you can drink instead of coffee, you are thank you.
How do you keep your gums or teeth safe then?
@@mogotsimpho I’m wondering this too…. The acidity of lemon on the tooth enamel would be a big concern, although you can neutralize acids with dairy, so maybe just don’t let it sit for too long and then follow it up with kefir, cheese, cream, etc., and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing teeth. ❤
@@PeaceIsYeshua😁 After I drink anything other than plain water, I do drink plain water and swish it vigorously in my mouth a few times with a few rinses to minimize negative affects of lemons, coffee for the few other things I drink.
In the Caribbean and Africa this is quite common. And thankfully the don't have depleted, demineralized soil like we do in the U.S. so their oral health is actually far better than ours. They also enjoy things like eating clay which is quite powerful and which we are lacking.
Hi Ken, I've watched your videos for a few years as I have metabolic disfunction , IR, higher than 'normal' BP. You have been very helpful. Today, though, your video dissapointed me. No, not becasue I was eating a bag of lemons a day to cure my cancer and diabetes. (I have neither, thankfully, I was making a point. ) I found it vitriolic. But whatever, that can be tour stlye at tmes. I'm not here to argue the health benefits of eating lemons or how they may or may not help you stay healthy or fight diseases in general. I want to help kidney stone sufferers that you may have hurt with your comments. I had a 4 cm kidney stone removed 25 years ago via laproscopy, after my left kidney totally blocked and I felt like I was dying. I had a second large stone about 8 eyars ago that moved over a period of months through my system, blocking my flow in the end to like 90% ... ;I finally peed it out with the help of some flomax , I still have it. It is the size of a pea. No pun intended. My point is since I started eating a lemon a day for 5 years I have zero stone issues. From what I read the acetic acid helps stop stone formation. did your pubmed research include recent kidbney stone - lemon efficacy studies ? Just how many people here have put forth these thoughts besides me ? I saw one , below, I didnt look any further. I'm very confident lemons cured my bodies odd need to form stones, I was having burning pees and cloudy urine at 12 years of age, my dad was a highly respected Pediatrician and he had me in to Children's hospital for an untrasound trying to locate the problem. Of couse in 1973 they could find nothing. I turned 60 this year and have my IR issues largely under control with light keto-IF low sugar low carb routine, I left 30 pounds of weight and pre diabetes behind in 2021 and have not looked back, I'm not well yet but getting there. So for all you kidney stone sufferers reading this at the very least try a lemon a day for 6 months and see. It can't hurt. Of course , yes, identify oxylate foods ayou are eating and limit those. But don't just toss the lemoms out with the bathwater yet.
He did say maybe it would help kidney stones.
I have 6 stones in my left kidneys and four in the other, I was told this by my doctor 8 years ago. These stones were found incidentally on a CT scan, not due to me complaining of pain. Never have I had kidney pain issues, or anything related. My point is the size of the stones matter. I do not drink lemon water, but if I had I could also say “look what the lemon water has done for me over the last 8 years, no more stones.”However, these stones remain, minus one I never felt pass, and still no lemon water, no pain, no urinary tract infections, etc. guess I’m one of the lucky ones, along with my tooth enamel.
@@daze8789 Wow. You are a lucky fellow! It is good they stayed there and havent caused problems ! I had trouble with this since I was 12. Only through YT I learned about acetic acid and other things you can take that break the crystals down or smooth them so they dont cause pain. My doctor and eurologist are both from the old school they mean well but they aren't learning new things. They had nothing to offer on diet or causes. And they can't treat the symptoms either ! IE Oxylates likely cause my kind of stones - thank you YT creators- and I'm not sure either one of them know what they even are ! I just bought a book about this called Toxic Superfoods by Sally Norton. People eating healthy these days are unkowingly eating oxylate bombs and have no idea. A smoothie made with a cup of spinnach, chia seeds, nuts, a scoop of cocoa powder, and blackberries (all these are high) is an overdose of oxylates. Have a great day thanks for the comment
The person you are talking about. is MY hero. LOVE him
I love lemon water. I drink a 1/2 lemon every morning with warm water. It gives me a great burst of energy. And it cuts my coffee dose in half.
Here we go -- now a bunch of folks will start arguing over their favorite KZhead health-related influencers. Really getting sick of this. Take what suits you, leave the rest, and if you can muster the self-discipline, don't argue with strangers on the internet even if you're convinced that you're 100 percent correct. Our country and the entire world are in such deep shit right now -- find a way to not add to everyone's misery if you want to do something positive. I'm done.
Great Post !!
Well said, especially the warning to not start or continue arguments!
i agree
Is that not what you are doing?
He gave REAL information...too bad that "offends" you so much....how is your "affirming care?
Always have watched your site for 4/5 yrs…love the truth… no nonsense information…just tell us the truth to get healthy……thank you for trying your best to fulfill your medical oath on true health remedies
Is lemon not a good source of electrolytes? My husband drinks lemon water during the summer to help with cramps and it does help a lot more than just drinking plain water.
Thank you isn't a strong enough term to express my gratitude for this and other videos you produce.
And here I was using lemon everyday. Well, it does make ACV more tolerable when mixed together with some salts. Used it with sparkling water and it tastes like kombucha without the sugar. Dr. Berry has a recipe how to make it. Thank you, btw, Dr. Berry for leading me to carnivore diet. I was diagnosed at the age of 32 with DM2, obesity, high trigs, high LDL, and uric acid. I tried all other means including medications but they did not reverse my diseases. I've been on carnivore for 8months now, I lost 40+lbs, lowered my blood sugar below 100, lowered my trigs and LDL, and I felt even better than before. You are a blessing to an Asian guy who loved rice for 32years and an answered prayer to reversing diabetes.🤜🤛 Cheers, Mabuhay, and God bless!
Yes 😊 and add a touch of Cayenne pepper, it's a nice change of taste
Wow, congratulations!
I feel bad 😢 I can't loose weight with carnivore diet low carb diet
@@romeliaarmstrong6143 how long have you been on the carnivore diet? Is it strictly carnivore? Are you increasing your animal fat intake? Are you doing exercise like brisk walking? These are just some of the factors that would affect your weight and figure. You can check Dr. Berry and Dr. Westman's videos on how to start carnivore the right way. It took me 3mos before I saw the weight and figure take shape. It took me years so I know for a fact that weight loss will not happen at the snap of a finger. Also, another great indicator is that your clothes become more loose. I take that as a big win over my weight coz I can gain muscle mass and bone density and my weight doesn't change. My clothes, on the other hand, have become more loose than before. That is the great sign of change imo.
@@elizabethconnolly3260 God bless and thank you. Planning on continuing this lifestyle until the day I return to the Lord.
Dr. Berry, you are my new medical hero. Because of your videos I watched for the first time two days ago,I jumped in head first into the carnivore diet yesterday morning. I even went so far as to get rid of about $1000 worth of crap food from my fridge, freezer, pantry, and cabinets. There is only fresh beef and chicken in my freezer, a case and a half of eggs in my fridge. I will be adding raw cheese in hopes that it won't constipate like pasteurized cheese does, and lots of real butter. I did keep my seasonings and spices in hopes that they are allowed. I have hypothyroidism, chronic pain, insomnia, chronic constipation, lymphedema, possibly lipodema, weight over 300 pounds. My doctor put me on losarten for blood pressure and a anti cholesterol med two weeks ago. I begrudgingly took them... Until I saw your videos for the first time. You and Dr. Chaffee were saying that the brain, nerves, and everything else in the body needs high fat content to work properly and that cholesterol is good. Last night, I dumped that bottle of cholesterol killing pills into the toilet where they belong. Last night was my first night on carnivore and by 11pm, I couldn't hold my eyes open any longer. I went to bed, and for the first time in years I slept soundly the entire night. When I ate my beef, butter, and eggs mid morning, I had to make myself eat my dinner portion. That has never happened to me before. I'm hoping and praying that my chronic pain is gone next, because next month I have an appointment with my doctor to sign a pain contract agreement for Tramadol. Until your videos gave me hope, I was hoping for a much shortened life span (I'm 63 years old) because the pain, weight, and all the health issues took away my joy and my will to live. You Dr. Berry have given me back that joy, and the excitement and will to carry on. I can't wait to see where I am 6 months and 12 months from now. I know it can only be my best life ever. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
This is true and also makes a lot of sense, we need to change our daily eating habits and exercise at least 10,15 minutes every day to see results!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I happen to know for a fact that Lemon Juice works for kidney stones, but I do not over use it. I had a kidney stone that was hard to pass and i ate a whole lemon and it broke the stone in tiny pieces overnight.
About 8 years ago my Urologist recommended that I start taking about a one ounce shot of lemon juice concentrate. I had passed 6 kidney stones in the previous ~15 years or roughly one every 2-3 years. He said it seemed to help some patients but was mostly anectodal and worst case it offered some more vitamin C and antioxidants so no harm if not effective if I wanted to try it. I have had one stone slowly forming, but in the 8 years since taking that shot daily I haven't passed it yet and this was the only change made to my diet or medicines. Not be proof, but something changed to reduce the formation rate by 3 or 4 fold. Personally, I don't think a placebo effect is possible when it comes to forming kidney stones. In any case, I'm sticking with the this routine.
Hi David! Do you think that vitamin k2 and limiting oxylates could help preventing the stones? I'm still researching it. Have a great one!
@@fabio.1 Yes on reducing oxylates, but not sure regarding K2. I have started taking K2 based on other studies that suggesded it has heart health benefits so the potential kidney stone benefit was just a bonus in my mind. Good luck finding out what works for you.
Fresh lemon juice has one thing no one talks about. Live enzymes. I had several nutritionists and others I studied back 50 years ago and they spoke of the benefits of live enzymes from raw or uncooked foods. I suggest those who are interested to read, Dr. Edward Howel's book, Enzyme Nutrition. I visited back in the early 1980's while down in Florida, Dr. Howell at his southwest Fla. home 3 times. We had hours of interesting conversation on diet, health and nutrition.He was in his early to mid 90's when we met. I use a dozen or so drops of fresh lemon juice in 8-10 oz of warm water. Sometimes I use fresh lime or orange juice. Taste is no problme as I have well water. Have used this for decades with no problem. I haven't seen a doctor since 1966. I have little used for them.
Did this Dr say anything about grapefruit?
Good to hear. I watch a lot of video's as I am trying to take control of my health and consider my Medical Doctor as MY assistant in MY journey, and I do not view the Doctor as an all knowing guru as many people seem to believe. I was taking half a lime in water daily. Appears I was wasting my time. When facts and evidence change.... I can change my mind.
I respect dr berry and i respect dr berg. Lemon has helped or maybe its not the lemon water maybe its going ketovore and changing my entire lirestyle. Im just so grateful that people like dr berry and dr berg make content for us to learn. 2 years since ive started this new life and i feel the best i ever did and im 50 😊
You do realise though, that Dr Berg is actually not a Dr at all, right?
Exactly! He's a chiropractor 😂 and not only that, he is a scientologist, which is why we should NOT follow him and his cult religion!!!
@@candieee1974 Funny, Dr. Berg never discusses anything but nutrition/exercise/fasting. If he's trying to turn people onto Scientology he's doing a really bad job of it. LOL
@@Cosmo-Kramer It isn't about recruitment - it's about the products he sells. A significant portion of his profit goes to help keep Scientology alive. His son explains this on YT much better than I can.
So don't buy his products -- which I was completely unaware that he sells because he also doesn't discuss them in his videos.
I suspect this was Dr. Berg who made this list. He likes using the term “Phytonutrients” as frequently as possible.

Your honesty is what I love about you. Keep up your wonderful work.
Dr. Jason Fung has quoted a Japanese study showing that vinegar and lemon juice can lower the glycemic effect of carbs, sometimes by as much as 40%. Is this a bogus study?
If you drink something like vinegar or lemon juice before eating food it keeps the blood sugar from spiking but it doesn't lower it. Careful, I got ulcers from lemon juice and plain soda.
My father was a dentist. He used to tell us drinking lemon juice and/or apple cider vinegar regularly was hard on your teeth. Try True Lemon in your water if you need flavoring.
You’re lucky, some of us had to learn the hard way 😢
It is, just as Iron solution discolors teeth so nurses always gave it with a soda straw. That’s how I drink lemon water that I just like.
@@shirleycathcart5502 Unfortunately using a straw simply directs the lemon water right on to your back molars... A disaster for those back teeth...
And using a straw perpetuates those mouth wrinkles. No thank you...
Better just stick to soda then 😅😅😅
Thanks for the heads up especially in saving money switching to green tea 😊❤
I enjoy your videos and the way you teach and explain things to us ... thank you for sharing. All the best!
