    Is anyone else seriously grateful not just for everything this doctor shares with all of us but for the fact that he does so without constantly bombarding us with some sort of sales pitch to buy some self-serving self-promoting “secret” formula
    and/or product with his name and picture splashed across the label of whatever “snake oil” everyone else is pushing?
    I for one am extremely grateful for everything he shares/teaches/warns with/for/us of with such professional non-inflammatory calm.

      It's bad when you go to the doctors with the mindset of having to manage the job they're ment to be doing!
      I have met ONE doctor who seems to go against this rule and she is the only Doctor who does not seem like an arrogant bitch! Probably in the wrong profession, as she is the only one with any form of bedside manner worth mentioning. The others are clock watching before you even sit down in their office!

    So one day I went to an ENT. They told me my potassium was extremely low but I didn’t know why. I have bags under my eyes and this helped me to tie it together. My grandma suffers from diabetes and this information means so much to me. I have literally had a lifelong battle with sugar. This man is really blessed and he’s blessing others.

    • @AllThingsConsidered333
      @AllThingsConsidered333 Год назад

      I developed potassium wasting through the kidneys.. too much relating to my health to list here but essentially I had come off crap food to lots of fresh fruits & veggies then got sick from mold then believed the lies that green smoothies & raw veg juices would heal me.. I did that several years then that plus another tick bite crashed my health..
      Now I’m learning that I have oxalate poisoning which can cause severe b1 deficiency which can lead to rhabdomyolysis which nearly killed me several times. Oxalates bind easily to potassium. Oxalates are insidious and are bot really known about except in case of kidney stones but most people don’t get those.
      Watch talks with Sally Norton as well as Elliot Overton regarding the oxalate issue and Elliot Overton regarding b1 thiamine deficiency. So much is becoming clear to me now and it’s overwhelming but empowering. Good luck

      She must watch out for oxalates. Oxalates are EXTREMELY toxic fo our kidneys. It's dangerous to our gut, cells and so much more. People have literally died from consuming spinach smoothies because they contain so much oxalic acid.

    • @865style
      @865style 2 года назад

      There is a reason that more and more people are having issues with ckd. Its because of what's being pushed to us as healthy foods. A lot have a oxalate amount that causes damage to our body but especially our kidneys. Then we take so many things that cause leaky gut issues where more of the oxalate is absorbed. Things like NSAIDs, various drugs, WHEAT, gluten and other things.

    Thanks so much for these videos, especially this one. I have been addicted to sugar for most of my life, and not just physically but mentally as a substitute for comfort because I wasn't held by my mother. I am now 74 and I did pretty well for a few months ago with an A1C down to 6.6, but now I have fallen back into stuff I shouldn't eat. But this video really shows how bad sugar is, so once again, I will try to do better. Thanks again for your help!

That kind of dialysis didn't work well so he went to get a shunt put in for hemodialysis and the doctor made an error and poked a hole somehow in his heart or the sac or something and he died in 1998.

    I'm getting ready to possibly start dialysis when the time comes, I'm at stage 5 kidney failure. I feel doctors don't inform patients well about this issue for patients to take care of themselves. Telling us there's protein in the urine etc and not telling us why or how to avoid it doesn't help. Educating patients about their condition to me is the key. I've been managing my kidney issues with not much information from my doctors, my Dr. never really asked me the correct questions for me to know my kidneys were getting worse. until now that they're preparing me for dialysis I'm finally getting all the information I should've gotten when I started having issues. I learned a lot more watching this video today than all these past few year with my doctors 😞it feels like they really don't care. Thank you for all the information you're sharing.

    The worst thing that happened to my kidneys was in 2012 when I had septic shock. My urine was the color of Pepsi for over 24 hours but thankfully they responded to fluids or I was going to be air lifted for dialysis. My creatinine was over 5 when I got to the ER. In 2015, I had sepsis and learned that the med Simvastatin had caused me to develop Rhabdomyolysis which was sending muscle enzymes to my kidneys which I was told would plug my kidneys, damaging them. Thankfully I had a doctor who recognized what was going on because those 2 illnesses make doctors fearful of running any kind of dye through my veins. Thanks for the informative video!!

    Swelling in the hands, legs and feet. Muscle weakness, restless legs, breathlessness, chest pain, frequency and urgency of urination… etc. There’s a lot more symptoms then what he said. Sad part is many doctors ignore your symptoms. It was only until I had 3x the amount of vitamin C, citric acid, and high doses of Azo (that I took back in December for UTI) and there was a bunch of other things that were really high and I had severe dehydration in my urine tests.

After investigating they found I only had one kidney, they couldn't find the second one. They told me that was normal enough, that the other one is okay. I am concerned now it might not be even though I don't have any of those symptoms and irs impossble to see a doctor these days since Covid arrived. Thanks for these videos. They are so helpful.

    My oncologist did not know that the meds he had me on were damaging my kidneys. He kept checking out my swollen feet with pitting edema and after several months he referred me to a cardiologist who said my heart was normal. Neither doctor suggested anything else. When the oncologist changed my schedule for Rituxin to once every two months from once a month I noticed the swelling subsided at the six week mark and then resumed after infusion. I told the doctor about this and he thought about it a moment and then decided to take me off Rituxin. You would think an oncologist would be aware of the side effects of the meds he prescribes. I also had elevated blood pressure. Thank you Dr. Berg.

    Thank you Dr. Berg. As someone who lost his father to kidney disease 11 years ago, induced by diabetes, I really appreciate this deep dive. You don't have to be an epidemiologist to figure that diabetes instigated nephropathy is becoming more and more pervasive. When my dad's kidney's started to fail to where he had to be put on dialysis, in the mid 90s, you had to search for a dialysis place, and home dialysis was unheard of. Now, I am within walking distance of several dialysis centers around my area and at home dialysis services are advertised on TV. This trend does not bode well for our society. I am grateful for professionals like you who are bringing awareness to this issue.

When he was diagnosed with diabetes back in the late 70s early 80s, doctors were not prescribing a low carb diet. Hence, he would continue to consume the same high carb diet, minus the sugary stuff, and take medication. Ultimately, it led to much suffering, kidney failure, a kidney transplant, and then 8 years after the transplant, the failure of that transplanted kidney.

    Best advice I could ever give is this....Check the side effects on ALL your meds! Most cause kidney issues, but some are worse! I was on Topamax for years and years, and now have kidney failure. My Dr's deny the med causing it, but I KNOW it did! I went off alot of my meds on my own, and cut many doses in half. I told my Dr I did it. He wasn't happy, but I told him my kidneys were MORE important. You have to weigh out what is important to you and your health, and your future! My kidneys are working at 60% right now. They dropped from 70% and went down another 10 in 6 months. Be aware of your body. Be aware of what is going on. I have back trouble, sciatica...So my kidney pain was thought to be my back for a year b4 I went and had it checked. I would say....IF YOU HAVE PAIN, ALWAYS HAVE IT CHECKED OUT!!! Another piece of advice....Make sure you have a dr that cares for people, not dollar bills. Good luck everyone. 🙂💗

I was also told that so many years of taking Ibuprofen like it was candy did not help my kidneys at all. It actually harmed them....and that was just otc meds. I can't imagine what prescribed pain meds end up doing. Maybe do some extra research on what helps with your specific areas of pain, and discuss the findings with your Dr. I regret so many years of taking ibu's. I can't go back though.
