I mix Himalayan pink Salt with baking soda for toothpaste. I also use a water flosser with occasional hydrogen peroxide. When I used normal toothpaste, I always had plaque and tartar. My teeth have never been so clean since I started using baking soda and salt.. 2 years now. My oral hygienist said keep up the good work. Baking soda and salt make a great facial scrub..no toxins, no micro plastics, and so cheap.
@@arabianprincess3552 yes. I also use a sonic toothpick and dental pick and mirror to keep them clean. If you eat a lot of carbs, it will be harder to keep clean. It is the carbs that feed the bacteria which causes tartar and plaque. ✌️
Bonus Benefit: Cleans cooking pan that has burned food -> Put back the pan on the stove with 2cm of water, then sprinkle baking soda to cover the bottom of the pan. Let it boil, and the layer of burning food will peel.
My overall health has definitely increased due to the good doctor here. I can't thank him enough for giving us a wide range of health practices. Thank you and I'll always be a fan
My grandmother was born in 1889. She was a nurse doing the Spanish Flu in 1918 and told us so many stories that happened then. Her family would cook soup and take it to neighbors that had gotten the flu, leaving the jars at the front door and taking previous jars back to wash and refill the next day. As they noticed the jars of food was not eaten they'd know the family was too sick or died, then they'd go inside and remove the bodies. One thing my grandmother told me was that her grandmother would give all the family a teaspoon of baking soda three times a day. None of them in the family got the flu. Did it help or were they resistant?? I don't know.
I saw a video of an old interview of a lady who said they did this in her house every morning on an empty stomach, and that none of them died in that household. I have tried it on the days I felt icky about 2-3 times a month and i have not gotten sick this whole pandemic. I'm not entirely sure it's the baking soda because I also do a colloidal silver nose spray every morning and an oregano nose spray some evenings, I also take a lot of d3 and quercetin and NAC. So I really can't say what has kept me healthy. Thanks for sharing!
Baking soda is, or was, a big thing in the west coast/western isles of Scotland too. I remember many years ago a neighbour telling me a small amount about the flu. He was very young and had to keep the fire going and water brought in and 'clean up'. He just said it was "terrible". I think those of us who heard such stories were a bit more careful during this pandemic.
I've been making and using my own underarm deodorant for a few years now, consisting of baking soda, arrowroot starch, coconut oil, shea butter, and my custom mix of essential oils. I've NEVER had odorous underarms since I started using this recipe.
I've been using a mixture of baking soda cornstarch and coconut oil I am very sensitive to fragrances so I don't want to add any essential oils there are some I can handle but I'm just staying away from that part. Would you please tell me the purpose of the shea butter and why you use it in the natural deodorant?
@@le9051 I started including shea butter because I saw it recommend in a homemade deodorant recipe. It helps protect the sensitive skin of your armpit against the redness and irritation that applying straight baking soda can cause, and it also makes the deodorant smoother/less gritty and easier to apply.
@@karkule5919 hey thanks for the input I already do use coconut oil. I live in Florida so coconut oil most of the year is liquid. Not sure about shea butter I'm thinking that it would help keep it a little solid when it's 90° outside. You know the time I needed the most! LOL
I use it as well as a teeth whitening by mixing the soda with lemon juice, it is really astonishing how affective this is, and I remember ; in the hight of COVID 19, I saw an interview with an old lady who survived the Spanish flu as a child; with her parents, at the beginning of the 20th century, and she swears that all they had to do as a family, to protect themselves, was gargling with sodium bicarbonate ( dissolved in water) every morning.
@@marleeamato4944 that's true, baking soda in any amounts will ruin the enamel. You can try use lemon skin, just by rubbing your teeth with the white part of the lemon skin. It's very reach in vitamins.
Dr Berg has talked about vinegar, lemons, and baking soda. These are all very good things to know about. Using my knowledge of them from Dr. Berg, I now have stopped getting cavities, for the last 18 months. 1. Mix 4 parts Spring water with 1 part apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. This should result in about 1% acidity. I also have some sodium bicarbonate in water, concentration not critical 2. After a meal, take 1/2 to 1 ounce of the acid solution. Then do a power mouth wash, by forming a bolus of the acids and moving the bolus around so that all teeth are bathed in the acids under pressure to reach into gum line and into crevicies in the teeth and crowns. 3. When done, consume the acids to aid in digestion (Berg). 4. Rinse mouth with spring water to remove most of the acids. 5. Rinse mouth with sodium bicarbonate solution to titrate the remaining acid. This stops acid erosion of enamel. Expel the sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) wash water. The result is that the plaque, which the bacteria must hide in to survive, is dissolved and washed away, and I have stopped having cavities for 18 months. Thank you Dr. Berg
Number 8: One teaspoon of baking soda can reduce a headache by stimulating hemoglobin to release oxygen into the bloodstream. Number 9: One to Two Tablespoons of baking soda may be used as a laxative by stimulating the intestines to extract water from the body which can help push everything out. Just be aware that you must replenish your liquids and you may be back and forth on the toilet for up to 2 hours. Number 10: One tablespoon of baking soda may be used to have more endurance in the gym or while running. The body creates sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) as a buffer for lactic acid. Marathon runners can have up to a 10% increase in endurance during a race, and this is actually called soda doping! Just note that the amount for a gym session and the amount for a marathon will be different and that I wrote this after number 9 because this will still cause a laxative effect in the body.
Dr Berg, I'm in my 4th week of fasting and this morning I felt like doing jumping jacks .I have this surplus of energy thanks to your good advise. I feel the need to expel energy, have not felt this good in years. I owe you big time.
Whenever I use most of the commercial toothpastes, it tastes and feels like I'm brushing my teeth with pasty candy. 🤢 By no means am I trying to putting them down. But I find myself constantly rinsing my mouth and trying to get it off my tongue.
*Really? I remember reading a study that said toothpaste wasn’t really effective and was just abrasive.* I have been contemplating just brushing with water. Is baking soda safe?
Thank you dr Berg for all you do, being a real doctor, not selling out, and for not being under mass formation psychosis. Insane times to live in, when it's rare to hear sanity, educated opinion and real science from a doctor. I enjoy your videos so much and the information you provide. You really make a big difference, may God bless you for that 🙏❤️
I was a house cleaner for many years, I became allergic to strong chemicals. The best thing I switched to for cleaning bath tubs Sprinkle baking soda, then spray with white vinegar let sit for about ten minutes! Then wipe with sponge and rinse with water.
Since I've been brushing my teeth with baking soda only for the last few years, I have not had any problems with my teeth. Before that I had a lot of dental issues. Hasn't removed enamel either.
Good article. Thank you. Not sure my note fits the theme, but for well over a year I add a small pinch of of baking soda to my morning mug of coffee. I stopped using coffee creamers and the coffee acidity was bothering my stomach. A friend suggested I try a small pinch of baking soda… works for me. I also enjoy the added flavor with a bit cinnamon.
Hi Dr. Berg... love your videos been watching for a few years. There are a few other benefits of baking soda that I have discovered, you can use it in the washing machine, let the clothes soak, and it helps remove odors that are very persistent. Also, you can use it inside a kettle to remove the calcium build-up and in a cat littler box to decrease odors.
Baking soda can also be used as a natural meat tenderizer. I just used it yesterday for pork chops. Make a thick slurry and spread it on both sides of your cut of meat and let set in the refrigerator 15 - 30 minutes. Wash the baking soda slurry off well and pat dry. Use meat as per usual. Meat is so tender! The baking soda raises the pH on the meat's surface, making it more difficult for the proteins to bond excessively, which keeps the meat tender and moist when it's cooked.
Baking Soda has been my tooth paste for 60 yrs and I have very hard enamel according to the dentists that work in my mouth, plus I drink a very weak mixture in my water a few times a week. Thanks for helping people see the benifit it offers Dr. Berg. 👍
@@nadiyeh I mix a small amount with water to make a thick paste then put it on my tooth brush, and brush. I repeat this until there is no more paste. I'm 67 yrs old and only use baking soda and my enamel is hard, plus it removes bacteria that lives in your mouth and eats at your enamel. Do this every day.
Being a snowboarder I always have wet gloves in the winter. A little baking soda removes the sour smell from them drying too slowly. It also relieves heartburn
I've been washing non-organic vegetables with Pure Baking Soda/Vinegar for a long time. It's one of those things, pesticide in invisible, just knowing, I've done my best, is satisfaction, enough! Thanks, Dr Berg.
His info is so good - clear and practical. Really appreciate his making these videos so freely available. Bi carb can also be mixed with coconut oil to make a whitening toothpaste
I have used baking soda for 10 years now exclusively to brush my teeth. No more cavities!! My hygentist showed me on a list of over 300 tooth pasts etc. , that baking soda is only 7 on that list for abrassiveness. I told her that is what I use to brush my teeth. She said whatever you are doing keep doing it!
When I was a kid going barefoot in the summer, I get bee stings a lot. Mom would make a paste of baking soda and water and put in on the spot of the sting and it helped with swelling and itching.
I used to get that treatment as a child. Now I use either afterbite or a mild ammonia, it works so much better. I have a horror of bee stings, but am a gardener :(
Dr Berg, you are THE MAN! I've been battling stinky pits for months, washing several times per day, using various deodorants, even using Men's deoderant trying to rid my self of the stanky pits. After watching this I, before bed applied the coconut oil/baking soda to the pits HOLY HANNA no smell! My pits are back to normal! You are the MAN!!!!! Thank you!!
I use to have bad acid reflux during my sleep that would wake me up. Drink 1 Tsp. of baking soda and 8 to 10 oz. of water mix till white cloud dissolves. Instant relief. Works on heartburn too. Thank you Dr. Berg, I'll have to try the other remedies too.
Baking soda and white vinegar is a great toilet boil sanitizer as well,no Clorox need the vinegar and baking soda cleans and remove toilet rings perfectly
Alternating the tooth powder with a mixture of Salt and Baking soda , once a week, was a normal practice in India a century back … I have seen my grandparents do it..Unfortunately that practice was lost to time with the onset commercial toothpastes… Interesting to know that what they did had merit and was not primitive at all.
I have used this for my teeth but you have to be careful using it on its own because it shrank my gums back to where it was truly painful. It dried them out. I would suggest rotating or adding coconut oil pulling to keep your gums from drying out.
Drinking a quarter teaspoon of baking soda with glass of water for super energy before heavy workouts! Bodybuilder and runner for 35 years and did this twice a week 👌💪
For our family, the most important thing baking soda did was postponed my mother's kidney failure for over 7 years now! I read somewhere that in Europe they would have dialysis patients, or patients with kidney failure, take a quarter teaspoon once or twice a day with some warm water. I know that the doctors thought Mom would need dialysis within a few months, and she has somewhat even improved over all of these years. I suggest you read some kidney medical excerpts. The added bonus is we can sip on it whenever we had spicy food to combat any heartburn. I love it for a natural deodorant, however I am very careful to only use pea-sized amount with a little water on delicate armpits, or else it will burn. To combat the burn, you can rub a good natural deodorant on your armpits afterwards to soothe and dilute the baking soda.
I use it for 5 out of 7 of these! I may sound proud but deep down inside I think to myself I am of the age I've been hearing the benefits of baking soda for so long that you would wonder why it took me until now. But now I am on the baking soda bandwagon, I have a box in almost every room in the house
I was just having this conversation with a woman popping Tums at a local pharmacy. I went in there to purchase my husband's razors. I mentioned baking soda water & she said "not here at work". Also I have been brushing my teeth with baking soda for over 13 years now ( ever since I learned about fluoride). Keep spreading the truth Dr!!!🙏🙏🙏🤍🕊🤍🕊🤍
@Mark Tinman it took the enamel off my teeth. Now I have to be careful what I eat around others because my teeth are no longer "slippery" and certain foods stick to them.
@@anestinamercy5761 It is a poison that was used to make prisoners in Germany docile. It is the only ingredient in rat poison. If you ask me, the reason for having flouride in toothpaste today, is the same as during WW2 Germany. Dentists will however tell you there are numerous great benefits (because that's what they have been taught) Please research and make up your own mind.
Just makes sure if you’re taking it for a stomach ache to dissolve it completely in water before swalling. I didn’t one and it blocked my throat and I couldn’t breathe for a minute. Most frightening experience of my life, thankfully drinking copious amounts of water dissolved it enough to dislodge the block.
Fascinating and enlightening info! Thank you! You also can sprinkle some baking soda in a fry pan or pot that you burnt something in (with water, of course) and leave it overnight. In the morning it will be very easy to clean.
@@ruthweaver545 I make it myself but only after buying it online. It's cheaper to just make it yourself. Baking soda, pink Himalayan salt, and essential oils. There are different kinds of essential oils that can be used in this mixture. You're not stuck on using just one. Essential oils are natural antibacterials, antimicrobials, antivirals, and they're detoxifying. The pink Himalayan salt needs to be ground to a powder if you want to make it yourself. If you have a coffee grinder, better yet, a *Spice grinder* put some pink salt in it and grind until it becomes a powder. If you have a coffee grinder that's never been used, then it's fine to use that. I just wouldn't use a used coffee grinder. 😆 I wouldn't want to put coffee grounds in my mouth or something that tastes like coffee grounds, lol.
I stir a half teaspoon of baking soda in a few ounces of water when I have painful gas in my stomach. It produces a wonderful "burp" of relief. Baking soda with water mixed into a paste makes a good jewelry cleaner. Add baking soda to the water you boil your eggs in. They will peel more easily.
Baking soda is also a great remedy for sore muscles due to lactic acid buildup….drink a 1/4 teaspoon in water. The same amount can be taken immediately after a bee or wasp sting and it will neutralize the acid of the sting. Works better than applying to the sting externally.
Not to be confused with Baking Powder in the UK which is a mixture of bicarb, cream of tartar and cornstarch. Baking soda is called bicarbonate of soda in the UK.
Baking soda is everything to me its my one and only used cleansing for my face and body washed like powder soap for how many years and u can tell ur body so soft and never have bad smell even u sweats and also i used to drink baking soda and lemon first thing in the morning in empthy tummy u try and see the result and i can tell u fell clean and healthy😍
Thank you Dr. Berg 👍 I grew up drinking a teaspoon of non-aluminum baking soda with fresh lemon/lime in a glass of water for an upset stomach or just overall bad digestion...truly cleans your gut 👌🙏
I just found your channel and I love it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise it is greatly appreciated. I like the fact that most of the products that you mention in your videos we have on hand and are natural remedies. I had a canker sore and your advice really helped. Baking soda and the hydrogen peroxide helped quickly. Thank you! Marie
I've been using hydrogen peroxide to get rid of my toe nail fungus and it works! Just apply some to toe nails with a Q-tip, etc. every day. It took a couple months of one application in the morning each day. I don't know if it would be any faster to do twice a day or not.
Good morning Dr. Berg, first off all, I wanted to thank you from the bottom of heart for all your educational videos which millions and millions of people around the world benefit from on daily basis. I have a request please. Can you please make a video about Shilajit. Thanks again.
I have used baking soda for the sores in the inside of the mouth before. Works very very fast. One other use is for gout. Lots of home remedies for gout and I have tried them all. Eating about 15+ cherries works fairly well, but NOTHING works like baking soda in some water. It tastes bad but not unmanageable. If you add powdered flavor such as from Truelemon (doesnt use sugar, uses stevia) it will actually taste carbonated like it's a fruit flavored soda. But it works fantastic for gout. It goes back to the alkalination of the body. Gout is excess uric acid crystallization. I also have a hunch that also due to this same process of changing the body to be more alkaline, I'd bet you'd get reduced fatigue during weight training due to the process of lactic acid buildup, further enhancing your stamina. I have been adding it to my pre-workout and I believe I see a difference.
Dr Berg if you see this know that I am very grateful for your work. I used to watch your videos when i had big mental issues years ago and your videos on anxiety helped me
I love using baking soda to clean my teeth and mouth. It really feels clean and refreshes your breath. But my dentist strictly prohibited using baking soda because it is making my teeth very sensitive. Using it regularly can wear out your enamel ☹
Man I wish that was the case. I’ve been strict keto carnivore for around 6 years. I don’t cheat and it’s a rare day if I get to 20 carbs. There is still plaque to be cleaned when I go to the dentist every 4 months. Have not had a cavity but definitely still plague.
@@pisces3121 I don’t know that my body has ever been to acidic. I have never shown any symptoms as per what a google search says is being to acidic. I don’t eat anything that a google search says would cause the body to be to acidic. Unless it would be the table spoon of apple cider vinegar with a table spoon lemon juice twice a day but again no symptoms. 🤷♂️
one amazing feature, help with burns on the skin. when i grabbed skillet handle hot metal, not knowingly, it burned my fingers badly. 2 hours under cold water didn’t make it any less painful, sharp burning pain as the water stops. thats when making paste from baking soda with little bit of water helped tremendously. dab paste on, wrapped to keep it moist, next morning my hand was as new, fully functional, able to wash hands, shower, etc. like it never had that hot metal burn the skin.
I remember one summer when my son got stung by a bee I used baking soda to get rid of the pain and swelling. Idk how effective it is at reducing inflammation in a sting that's not recent, but right after he was stung I made a paste with the baking soda and sure enough it all went away in the next 15-20 minutes.
I use bi-carb for washing my hair instead of shampoo ....... I brush about a tablespoon of bi-carb through my hair then rinse with warm water to which I've added a dash of white vinegar. Leaves my hair nice and clean!
I have a lovely colleague from India who is in her early 70s and yes she is still going strong and a caregiver!😊 I asked her the secret to her pearly teeth and she told me she put a pinch of baking soda to her regular toothpaste to brush her teeth.
My mom bought big bags of baking soda..I'm like what is she doing? I've used it for stomach pain. A destroyed frying pan...I placed it over guk...put some water in there, it lifted all of it without scrubbing just by sitting. Of course cleaned veggies, fruit. Great video..I definitely want to try drinking it daily. Tip. I heard rinsing your mouth daily with it, especially diluted hydrogen can prevent gum diseases to reversing it by getting rid of inflammation & plaque. * Of course in tiny quantities*
Thank you so much, Dr Berg. I have had a major issue with mouth ulcers and this gives me hope. Also, could baking soda possibly work against dandruff by the same logic?
I'm wearing Invisalign and my teeth have stain and it's bothering me. Thanks so much for this video Dr. Berg. I've learned so much from watching your videos. Great education for health 👍💐💖
I have been rubbing organic baking soda after shower to my armpits a year now (a friend recommended) I have never ever ever never get any smell from my armpits, its works like MAGIC!
My brother has Kidney Disease. From my understanding Research in England showed a benefit to taking Bicarbonate tablets. His Doctor has prescribed it. He has found that it helped his numbers to the point where he does not have to have dialysis, where as it was thought that he may have to.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 You're very welcome! I haven't. I will have to find that. I love his video's, so informative, I find myself sharing them all the time. :)
This is the very reason why I love baking soda because this is the only stuff that heals my severe acid reflux which I suffered for about 4years. I almost passed out as well during the last occurrence before I discovered this. Only one takes of 200ml of water or a glass of water mix with 1tsp of baking soda which immediately I feel better onwards.
I grew up in the 50's and 60's...we never had toothpaste..only used baking soda. My grandmother also mixed it in water to drink for upset stomach and indigestion 🤗
I buy bulk 10kg at a time and store in tight small containers. I keep one in the bathroom for cleaning the bath tub etc, one container in the kitchen for cleaning most of the things in the kitchen and I also mix baking soda with s table spoon of vegetable oil in sprayer for spraying apple trees against fungus.
As a child, my mother had us use baking soda in place of toothpaste. I have to confess, I loathed the taste. She also gave it to me if I had indigestion.
A teaspoon of baking soda in glass of water will soothe cystitis. Or teaspoon in milk can ease heartburn and nausea. You can also use it as final rinse when washing hair to remove product build up. My mother also mixed a little with some loaf bread and hot water and applied as a poultice.
Here is one for you folks. As kids we played outside and got bit and stung from fire ants , wasps ,bees you name it. We surfed and were stung by Man O Wars and jelly fish. The most intense pain for me was not from a scorpion but from an asp. So we learned how to deal with all this before we turned 14 years old. Land based [ fire ant , bees etc.] stings . Remedy is tooth paste. Any brand. Just put a dab on the sting and the pain, redness and swelling goes away instantly. For the aquatic [ jelly fish etc.] sprinkle a little MSG , meat tenderizer on the affected area. The pain will be gone along with any swelling in under 5 seconds. As for the asp. I climbed back up the Oak tree the next day to see what stung me. I didn't know what it was then. It was squashed and dead. When I grabbed the branch it had got me so bad I let go of the branch and hit the ground the day before. These things are smaller than your little toe. I still have a KNOT on the palm of my right hand 60 years later from that little devil. Cheers to Mr Berg and his show.
Hey Dr. Berg, can you do a video on excessive sweating of the feet? I can’t go for a 10 minute walk around the block without my socks getting damp. This in turn makes the inside of my sneakers damp over time and before long the shoes give off a rancid odor. I can buy a new shoe and within 3 months the shoe smells like garbage. I have to keep buying new shoes which is expensive, so I’d really appreciate your advice on how to stop my feet from sweating so heavily. I don’t experience heavy sweating anywhere else in my body unless of course I am exercising. I’ve seen a lot of conflicting advice from other RUclips ppl and other articles on what to do, what to take, what type of socks to use, etc so it’s got me feeling confused and uncertain about how to address this annoying issue
I can't tell you how to prevent your feet from sweating, but I can share something about shoes. While shoes (to me) seem much more expensive than they need to be, I ran across information that three pair of shoes - if you rotate their use - will last longer than five pair of shoes purchased separately and replaced when needed. This is due to the need to dry out over a two day period. This, no doubt, could also help reduce fungal infections of feet, toes, and toenails. Putting something in the shoes to absorb moisture (and odors) would help, too. (I've put baking soda in socks and tie them off to put inside the shoes when not in use.)
Fill a spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide and spray it inside your shoes. The bad odor will disappear almost instantly. Same for socks. Rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide and water (50/50) every night and you will get rid of the bad breath also, everyone around you will be grateful 😂. I wish more people would know this.
If I use baking soda to remove pesticides, by soaking vegetables for 10-15 minutes as you suggested, how much baking soda do I use to do this? As an example, a head of lettuce...
Another great use is as a meat tenderizer, in some cooking they call the process velveting. Try it out, I was amazed I think u will be too. I use this for tenderizing all meats. Let us know how it goes
Very helpful video, also, wanted to ask, when i am doing intermittend fasting, my stomach makes some weird sound, it usually starts after not eating for 14 hours, at that time, i am usually at school, and its so uncomfortable that i just have to break my fast. (but i want to fast for at least for 18 hours) Any recommendations?
He answered this in videos on noisy digestion. You could change the start of the fasting so that the point of 14 hours start when you are in a more comfortable situation. It won’t go away unless you increase your fasting time and for a few days. It could be faster if you could learn to fast a whole weekend for example. But he made videos on how to fast correctly which are important.
I mix baking soda with my shampoo... Dandruff from my scalp has disappeared. Use it with any shampoo it works.. Oldest soaps had baking soda and olive oil In it which are still made in Israel.
Tricky to play with baking soda on teeth or vinegar..or even worse two combined together. It's abrasive to the enamel, especially if sensitive teeth. And once u scrape that off and sensitivity starts, is difficult to go back. (Same could happen with betonite clay, charcoal... Abrasive. But again.. depends on the thickness of the enamel of each individual.. although l wouldn't play with that)
I bought a tooth powder with baking soda in it already. So trusting it's good for my teeth. I don't use much and my teeth seem okay. I used to have tartar and it went away. I give credit to diet over brushing. My tonsils have also gotten smaller. I really can't wait to see the dentist as she is skeptical about Keto.
Rubbish you can use either with no effect to the enamel and bicarbonate it is great combine with coconut oil salt and even turmeric much better than any toothpaste so you are not right
@@marleeamato4944 Yep. As a RDH mouthwashing with bi carb is fine but there's a lot of people who are going to have cervical abrasion that possibly weren't if they hadn't seen this video 😑. Not impressed.
Dr Berg could you please make the video about mediterranean fever please 🙏 ❤️ Thank you very much for your effort , you are the honest person and doctor I have ever seen. ❤️
I have been using baking soda for deodorant for years, it works! Also, for brushing my teeth, it works! Interesting using it for everything else you mentioned..Thank You Dr Berg
@@ed.5060 Yes I will!… for one week wipe your underarms with rubbing alcohol, for females (Do Not Shave when applying alcohol) and rub a little baking soda after applying the alcohol and baking soda for one week, Stop the alcohol and use baking soda only! and if Bacteria forms again under your arms after six months or a year or whenever, just do the alcohol and baking soda treatment again.. I usually don’t have to do that just baking soda works for me! My husband did it and it works for him!
Been a fan of doc since half and a year ago. Took most health advice in here except fasting! Now, mid January, i started to take it seriously and as of typing this(feb 10), I now weigh 82.3kg from 88.7kg. My goal is 60kg so it needs some working to get there but it sure does work like magic! IF ✅️ Sugar and carbs ❎️
I mix Himalayan pink Salt with baking soda for toothpaste. I also use a water flosser with occasional hydrogen peroxide. When I used normal toothpaste, I always had plaque and tartar. My teeth have never been so clean since I started using baking soda and salt.. 2 years now. My oral hygienist said keep up the good work.
Baking soda and salt make a great facial scrub..no toxins, no micro plastics, and so cheap.
I have tartar too will it help me get them out
@@arabianprincess3552 yes. I also use a sonic toothpick and dental pick and mirror to keep them clean. If you eat a lot of carbs, it will be harder to keep clean. It is the carbs that feed the bacteria which causes tartar and plaque. ✌️
Add a splash of MSG for richer taste.
Do you use it everyday
But isn't baking soda abrasive and harmful to the enamel layer?
Bonus Benefit: Cleans cooking pan that has burned food -> Put back the pan on the stove with 2cm of water, then sprinkle baking soda to cover the bottom of the pan. Let it boil, and the layer of burning food will peel.
Thanks for that tip
Thanks
I love you lol
all it takes is a drop of dish soap & 5mins
Cast iron. Soap, nope.
My overall health has definitely increased due to the good doctor here. I can't thank him enough for giving us a wide range of health practices. Thank you and I'll always be a fan
Awesome 👏 thank you so much for sharing!
He has helped me in my digestive issues significantly!
This is why we should have doctors
My grandmother was born in 1889. She was a nurse doing the Spanish Flu in 1918 and told us so many stories that happened then. Her family would cook soup and take it to neighbors that had gotten the flu, leaving the jars at the front door and taking previous jars back to wash and refill the next day. As they noticed the jars of food was not eaten they'd know the family was too sick or died, then they'd go inside and remove the bodies.
One thing my grandmother told me was that her grandmother would give all the family a teaspoon of baking soda three times a day. None of them in the family got the flu. Did it help or were they resistant?? I don't know.
Amazing history. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
Spanish Flu...some cities had Homes Lock down .. Dead were placed at the Curb..Mule wagon pick up. No kidding..
I saw a video of an old interview of a lady who said they did this in her house every morning on an empty stomach, and that none of them died in that household. I have tried it on the days I felt icky about 2-3 times a month and i have not gotten sick this whole pandemic. I'm not entirely sure it's the baking soda because I also do a colloidal silver nose spray every morning and an oregano nose spray some evenings, I also take a lot of d3 and quercetin and NAC. So I really can't say what has kept me healthy. Thanks for sharing!
This is the third time RUclips delete my comment on this thread.
Baking soda is, or was, a big thing in the west coast/western isles of Scotland too.
I remember many years ago a neighbour telling me a small amount about the flu. He was very young and had to keep the fire going and water brought in and 'clean up'. He just said it was "terrible". I think those of us who heard such stories were a bit more careful during this pandemic.
I've been making and using my own underarm deodorant for a few years now, consisting of baking soda, arrowroot starch, coconut oil, shea butter, and my custom mix of essential oils. I've NEVER had odorous underarms since I started using this recipe.
I've been using a mixture of baking soda cornstarch and coconut oil I am very sensitive to fragrances so I don't want to add any essential oils there are some I can handle but I'm just staying away from that part. Would you please tell me the purpose of the shea butter and why you use it in the natural deodorant?
Watch Dr. Berg, baking sofa video. Very good informative website
@@le9051 I started including shea butter because I saw it recommend in a homemade deodorant recipe. It helps protect the sensitive skin of your armpit against the redness and irritation that applying straight baking soda can cause, and it also makes the deodorant smoother/less gritty and easier to apply.
@@santiagobenites I'm going to add Shea butter to the mix. I think I would be able to tolerate any fragrance from it. Thank you!
@@karkule5919 hey thanks for the input I already do use coconut oil. I live in Florida so coconut oil most of the year is liquid. Not sure about shea butter I'm thinking that it would help keep it a little solid when it's 90° outside. You know the time I needed the most! LOL
I use it as well as a teeth whitening by mixing the soda with lemon juice, it is really astonishing how affective this is, and I remember ; in the hight of COVID 19, I saw an interview with an old lady who survived the Spanish flu as a child; with her parents, at the beginning of the 20th century, and she swears that all they had to do as a family, to protect themselves, was gargling with sodium bicarbonate ( dissolved in water) every morning.
Isn't the lemon too acidic for enamel?
What quantity do you mix with the lemon juice, please?
As a dental hygienist, I would not advise doing this. You will ruin your enamel
Gargling is a good habit to avoid viruses.
@@marleeamato4944 that's true, baking soda in any amounts will ruin the enamel. You can try use lemon skin, just by rubbing your teeth with the white part of the lemon skin. It's very reach in vitamins.
Dr Berg has talked about vinegar, lemons, and baking soda. These are all very good things to know about. Using my knowledge of them from Dr. Berg, I now have stopped getting cavities, for the last 18 months.
1. Mix 4 parts Spring water with 1 part apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. This should result in about 1% acidity. I also have some sodium bicarbonate in water, concentration not critical
2. After a meal, take 1/2 to 1 ounce of the acid solution. Then do a power mouth wash, by forming a bolus of the acids and moving the bolus around so that all teeth are bathed in the acids under pressure to reach into gum line and into crevicies in the teeth and crowns.
3. When done, consume the acids to aid in digestion (Berg).
4. Rinse mouth with spring water to remove most of the acids.
5. Rinse mouth with sodium bicarbonate solution to titrate the remaining acid. This stops acid erosion of enamel. Expel the sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) wash water.
The result is that the plaque, which the bacteria must hide in to survive, is dissolved and washed away, and I have stopped having cavities for 18 months. Thank you Dr. Berg
Number 8: One teaspoon of baking soda can reduce a headache by stimulating hemoglobin to release oxygen into the bloodstream.
Number 9: One to Two Tablespoons of baking soda may be used as a laxative by stimulating the intestines to extract water from the body which can help push everything out. Just be aware that you must replenish your liquids and you may be back and forth on the toilet for up to 2 hours.
Number 10: One tablespoon of baking soda may be used to have more endurance in the gym or while running. The body creates sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) as a buffer for lactic acid. Marathon runners can have up to a 10% increase in endurance during a race, and this is actually called soda doping! Just note that the amount for a gym session and the amount for a marathon will be different and that I wrote this after number 9 because this will still cause a laxative effect in the body.
Ok.
How would I use theses tips? Mix with water, coconut oil, etc??
Thanks. Please let us know HOW to use the baking soda 🙏? Take it in dry? How much baking soda? With water? How much water? How often?
@@ed.5060 good questions
The sports one is not recommended. Considered a hidden danger.
Dr Berg, I'm in my 4th week of fasting and this morning I felt like doing jumping jacks .I have this surplus of energy thanks to your good advise. I feel the need to expel energy, have not felt this good in years. I owe you big time.
Are you still doing IF now?
you getting skinny, have to call you tiny faster
What kind of fasting? I am so fatigued. Insomnia.
I use baking soda mixed with a little water to make a paste and it's an EXCELLENT teeth whitening. Super affordable, I don't buy Crest anymore!🤓
try vinegar rather than water
No way don’t ever use vinegar it will definitely eat the enamel first then eat your teeth away. Bad advice right there
Whenever I use most of the commercial toothpastes, it tastes and feels like I'm brushing my teeth with pasty candy. 🤢
By no means am I trying to putting them down. But I find myself constantly rinsing my mouth and trying to get it off my tongue.
*Really? I remember reading a study that said toothpaste wasn’t really effective and was just abrasive.* I have been contemplating just brushing with water. Is baking soda safe?
@@GulangUK isn’t vinegar extremely acidic and would erode away your tooth enamel?
Thank you dr Berg for all you do, being a real doctor, not selling out, and for not being under mass formation psychosis. Insane times to live in, when it's rare to hear sanity, educated opinion and real science from a doctor. I enjoy your videos so much and the information you provide.

I was a house cleaner for many years, I became allergic to strong chemicals. The best thing I switched to for cleaning bath tubs
Sprinkle baking soda, then spray with white vinegar let sit for about ten minutes! Then wipe with sponge and rinse with water.
Have you checked his videos on allergies?
Baking soda, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide are always on my must have list. Thanks doctor.
Also, taking 1/2 teaspoon of bakind soda with some water, after intense workout, reduces muscle soreness on the next day. No idea why but it does.
Since I've been brushing my teeth with baking soda only for the last few years, I have not had any problems with my teeth. Before that I had a lot of dental issues. Hasn't removed enamel either.
Remove bad breath also?
Good article. Thank you. Not sure my note fits the theme, but for well over a year I add a small pinch of of baking soda to my morning mug of coffee. I stopped using coffee creamers and the coffee acidity was bothering my stomach. A friend suggested I try a small pinch of baking soda… works for me. I also enjoy the added flavor with a bit cinnamon.
Hi Dr. Berg... love your videos been watching for a few years. There are a few other benefits of baking soda that I have discovered, you can use it in the washing machine, let the clothes soak, and it helps remove odors that are very persistent. Also, you can use it inside a kettle to remove the calcium build-up and in a cat littler box to decrease odors.
2 heaped tablespoons to each 5-7kg load,fantastic for towels,undies,socks etc.
Baking soda can also be used as a natural meat tenderizer. I just used it yesterday for pork chops. Make a thick slurry and spread it on both sides of your cut of meat and let set in the refrigerator 15 - 30 minutes. Wash the baking soda slurry off well and pat dry. Use meat as per usual. Meat is so tender! The baking soda raises the pH on the meat's surface, making it more difficult for the proteins to bond excessively, which keeps the meat tender and moist when it's cooked.
Baking Soda has been my tooth paste for 60 yrs and I have very hard enamel according to the dentists that work in my mouth, plus I drink a very weak mixture in my water a few times a week. Thanks for helping people see the benifit it offers Dr. Berg. 👍
How do You use it? Do You use it daily? I heard it’s too harsh for the teeth but I see good reviews here So I wanna try it.
@@nadiyeh I mix a small amount with water to make a thick paste then put it on my tooth brush, and brush. I repeat this until there is no more paste. I'm 67 yrs old and only use baking soda and my enamel is hard, plus it removes bacteria that lives in your mouth and eats at your enamel. Do this every day.
Amazing! But in his last video je says its not good to drink baking soda cause we need to keep the stomach acidic
@@Olivia-bs5wj Small amounts.
@@MrAllan9 do you brush your teeth with tooth paste or only baking soda? And do you use mouthwash?
It also reduces inflammation and arthritis pain per a study in the NIH. I have back pain and this works well to reduce my pain to almost nothing.
how do you use it to relieve back pain? Poultice or taking internally?
@@helenabythelake3893 Internally.
Being a snowboarder I always have wet gloves in the winter. A little baking soda removes the sour smell from them drying too slowly. It also relieves heartburn

@Devina St Claire Did you apply the baking powder directly or mix it with warm water ( like I’ve done in the past) ?? For the uti
I've been washing non-organic vegetables with Pure Baking Soda/Vinegar for a long time. It's one of those things, pesticide in invisible, just knowing, I've done my best, is satisfaction, enough! Thanks, Dr Berg.
I only wish I had a teacher like Eric Berg during my formative years. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
His info is so good - clear and practical. Really appreciate his making these videos so freely available. Bi carb can also be mixed with coconut oil to make a whitening toothpaste
I have used baking soda for 10 years now exclusively to brush my teeth. No more cavities!!
My hygentist showed me on a list of over 300 tooth pasts etc. , that baking soda is only 7 on that list for abrassiveness.
I told her that is what I use to brush my teeth.
She said whatever you are doing keep doing it!
When I was a kid going barefoot in the summer, I get bee stings a lot. Mom would make a paste of baking soda and water and put in on the spot of the sting and it helped with swelling and itching.
I used to get that treatment as a child. Now I use either afterbite or a mild ammonia, it works so much better. I have a horror of bee stings, but am a gardener :(
Dr Berg, you are THE MAN! I've been battling stinky pits for months, washing several times per day, using various deodorants, even using Men's deoderant trying to rid my self of the stanky pits. After watching this I, before bed applied the coconut oil/baking soda to the pits HOLY HANNA no smell! My pits are back to normal! You are the MAN!!!!! Thank you!!
I use to have bad acid reflux during my sleep that would wake me up. Drink 1 Tsp. of baking soda and 8 to 10 oz. of water mix till white cloud dissolves. Instant relief. Works on heartburn too. Thank you Dr. Berg, I'll have to try the other remedies too.
Baking soda and white vinegar is a great toilet boil sanitizer as well,no Clorox need the vinegar and baking soda cleans and remove toilet rings perfectly
Alternating the tooth powder with a mixture of Salt and Baking soda , once a week, was a normal practice in India a century back … I have seen my grandparents do it..Unfortunately that practice was lost to time with the onset commercial toothpastes… Interesting to know that what they did had merit and was not primitive at all.
You think to mix baking soda with salt and to drink please tell mee for bad breath
@@hsjskkksnjs1348 That was never for drinking … The mixture was used as a tooth powder for brushing your teeth..

@@hsjskkksnjs1348 you can drink 1 spoon apple cider vinegar mixed with 1 glass of water for cleaning your gut and bad breath
I have used this for my teeth but you have to be careful using it on its own because it shrank my gums back to where it was truly painful. It dried them out. I would suggest rotating or adding coconut oil pulling to keep your gums from drying out.

For our family, the most important thing baking soda did was postponed my mother's kidney failure for over 7 years now! I read somewhere that in Europe they would have dialysis patients, or patients with kidney failure, take a quarter teaspoon once or twice a day with some warm water. I know that the doctors thought Mom would need dialysis within a few months, and she has somewhat even improved over all of these years. I suggest you read some kidney medical excerpts. The added bonus is we can sip on it whenever we had spicy food to combat any heartburn. I love it for a natural deodorant, however I am very careful to only use pea-sized amount with a little water on delicate armpits, or else it will burn. To combat the burn, you can rub a good natural deodorant on your armpits afterwards to soothe and dilute the baking soda.
I use it for 5 out of 7 of these! I may sound proud but deep down inside I think to myself I am of the age I've been hearing the benefits of baking soda for so long that you would wonder why it took me until now. But now I am on the baking soda bandwagon, I have a box in almost every room in the house

I was just having this conversation with a woman popping Tums at a local pharmacy. I went in there to purchase my husband's razors. I mentioned baking soda water & she said "not here at work". Also I have been brushing my teeth with baking soda for over 13 years now ( ever since I learned about fluoride). Keep spreading the truth Dr!!!🙏🙏🙏🤍🕊🤍🕊🤍
Elaborate please. I have such bad teeth. Should i be brushing with baking soda instead of toothpaste?
What's the mixture for nail fungus? Is it 1 Tblsp of Baking Soda and 1Tblsp of maybe coconut oil? Do you have a video on the benefits of ozone oil?
@Mark Tinman it took the enamel off my teeth. Now I have to be careful what I eat around others because my teeth are no longer "slippery" and certain foods stick to them.
What's wrong with flouride please?
@@anestinamercy5761 It is a poison that was used to make prisoners in Germany docile. It is the only ingredient in rat poison. If you ask me, the reason for having flouride in toothpaste today, is the same as during WW2 Germany. Dentists will however tell you there are numerous great benefits (because that's what they have been taught) Please research and make up your own mind.
Just makes sure if you’re taking it for a stomach ache to dissolve it completely in water before swalling. I didn’t one and it blocked my throat and I couldn’t breathe for a minute. Most frightening experience of my life, thankfully drinking copious amounts of water dissolved it enough to dislodge the block.
Fascinating and enlightening info! Thank you! You also can sprinkle some baking soda in a fry pan or pot that you burnt something in (with water, of course) and leave it overnight. In the morning it will be very easy to clean.
I haven't used tooth paste in years. I use tooth powder containing baking soda, pink Himalayan salt, and peppermint & spearmint essential oils.
1Hope4All, is this a store bought product or do you make it yourself?
To bad. Because. Any kind of mint is detrimental to men's testosterone
@@cjcj3222 Then don't use any kind of mint essential oils. You could use lemongrass essential oils. Or even Tea Tree oil.
@@ruthweaver545 I make it myself but only after buying it online. It's cheaper to just make it yourself. Baking soda, pink Himalayan salt, and essential oils. There are different kinds of essential oils that can be used in this mixture. You're not stuck on using just one. Essential oils are natural antibacterials, antimicrobials, antivirals, and they're detoxifying.
The pink Himalayan salt needs to be ground to a powder if you want to make it yourself. If you have a coffee grinder, better yet, a *Spice grinder* put some pink salt in it and grind until it becomes a powder. If you have a coffee grinder that's never been used, then it's fine to use that. I just wouldn't use a used coffee grinder. 😆 I wouldn't want to put coffee grounds in my mouth or something that tastes like coffee grounds, lol.
I stir a half teaspoon of baking soda in a few ounces of water when I have painful gas in my stomach. It produces a wonderful "burp" of relief. Baking soda with water mixed into a paste makes a good jewelry cleaner. Add baking soda to the water you boil your eggs in. They will peel more easily.

Baking soda is also a great remedy for sore muscles due to lactic acid buildup….drink a 1/4 teaspoon in water. The same amount can be taken immediately after a bee or wasp sting and it will neutralize the acid of the sting. Works better than applying to the sting externally.
Not to be confused with Baking Powder in the UK which is a mixture of bicarb, cream of tartar and cornstarch. Baking soda is called bicarbonate of soda in the UK.

Doc I work in a nursing home and the conversation that we have is all the wonderful 😊 advice in all types of health we love you
I use baking soda + lemon + olive oil for my arthritis and it works for me !
how?
I have used baking soda for the sores in the inside of the mouth before. Works very very fast. One other use is for gout. Lots of home remedies for gout and I have tried them all. Eating about 15+ cherries works fairly well, but NOTHING works like baking soda in some water. It tastes bad but not unmanageable. If you add powdered flavor such as from Truelemon (doesnt use sugar, uses stevia) it will actually taste carbonated like it's a fruit flavored soda. But it works fantastic for gout. It goes back to the alkalination of the body. Gout is excess uric acid crystallization.
I also have a hunch that also due to this same process of changing the body to be more alkaline, I'd bet you'd get reduced fatigue during weight training due to the process of lactic acid buildup, further enhancing your stamina. I have been adding it to my pre-workout and I believe I see a difference.
Thanks for the info.
Another brilliant video. Thanks so much.
You can make your own toothpaste using bicarbonate of soda, coconut oil, and a drop of menthol flavour.
I've always used it for bee stings and canker sores but I'm happy to use it for at least some of these other things. Thanks!

Teeth plaquing is inflammation caused by excessive sugar and carbs in the diet.
Bacteria in the mouth degrade these sugars and carbs to form acids that plaque the teeth!

one amazing feature, help with burns on the skin. when i grabbed skillet handle hot metal, not knowingly, it burned my fingers badly. 2 hours under cold water didn’t make it any less painful, sharp burning pain as the water stops. thats when making paste from baking soda with little bit of water helped tremendously. dab paste on, wrapped to keep it moist, next morning my hand was as new, fully functional, able to wash hands, shower, etc. like it never had that hot metal burn the skin.
I remember one summer when my son got stung by a bee I used baking soda to get rid of the pain and swelling. Idk how effective it is at reducing inflammation in a sting that's not recent, but right after he was stung I made a paste with the baking soda and sure enough it all went away in the next 15-20 minutes.

Only one takes of 200ml of water or a glass of water mix with 1tsp of baking soda which immediately I feel better onwards.

As a child, my mother had us use baking soda in place of toothpaste. I have to confess, I loathed the taste. She also gave it to me if I had indigestion.

Here is one for you folks. As kids we played outside and got bit and stung from fire ants , wasps ,bees you name it. We surfed and were stung by Man O Wars and jelly fish. The most intense pain for me was not from a scorpion but from an asp. So we learned how to deal with all this before we turned 14 years old. Land based [ fire ant , bees etc.] stings . Remedy is tooth paste. Any brand. Just put a dab on the sting and the pain, redness and swelling goes away instantly. For the aquatic [ jelly fish etc.] sprinkle a little MSG , meat tenderizer on the affected area. The pain will be gone along with any swelling in under 5 seconds. As for the asp. I climbed back up the Oak tree the next day to see what stung me. I didn't know what it was then. It was squashed and dead. When I grabbed the branch it had got me so bad I let go of the branch and hit the ground the day before. These things are smaller than your little toe. I still have a KNOT on the palm of my right hand 60 years later from that little devil. Cheers to Mr Berg and his show.
He never disappoints! Thank you🤗
Hey Dr. Berg, can you do a video on excessive sweating of the feet? I can’t go for a 10 minute walk around the block without my socks getting damp. This in turn makes the inside of my sneakers damp over time and before long the shoes give off a rancid odor. I can buy a new shoe and within 3 months the shoe smells like garbage. I have to keep buying new shoes which is expensive, so I’d really appreciate your advice on how to stop my feet from sweating so heavily. I don’t experience heavy sweating anywhere else in my body unless of course I am exercising. I’ve seen a lot of conflicting advice from other RUclips ppl and other articles on what to do, what to take, what type of socks to use, etc so it’s got me feeling confused and uncertain about how to address this annoying issue
He made a video on sweaty hands that may help you. Are you doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting?
I can't tell you how to prevent your feet from sweating, but I can share something about shoes. While shoes (to me) seem much more expensive than they need to be, I ran across information that three pair of shoes - if you rotate their use - will last longer than five pair of shoes purchased separately and replaced when needed. This is due to the need to dry out over a two day period. This, no doubt, could also help reduce fungal infections of feet, toes, and toenails. Putting something in the shoes to absorb moisture (and odors) would help, too. (I've put baking soda in socks and tie them off to put inside the shoes when not in use.)
Fill a spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide and spray it inside your shoes. The bad odor will disappear almost instantly. Same for socks.
Rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide and water (50/50) every night and you will get rid of the bad breath also, everyone around you will be grateful 😂. I wish more people would know this.
If I use baking soda to remove pesticides, by soaking vegetables for 10-15 minutes as you suggested, how much baking soda do I use to do this? As an example, a head of lettuce...
Another great use is as a meat tenderizer, in some cooking they call the process velveting. Try it out, I was amazed I think u will be too. I use this for tenderizing all meats. Let us know how it goes
Very helpful video, also, wanted to ask, when i am doing intermittend fasting, my stomach makes some weird sound, it usually starts after not eating for 14 hours, at that time, i am usually at school, and its so uncomfortable that i just have to break my fast. (but i want to fast for at least for 18 hours) Any recommendations?
He answered this in videos on noisy digestion. You could change the start of the fasting so that the point of 14 hours start when you are in a more comfortable situation.
It won’t go away unless you increase your fasting time and for a few days. It could be faster if you could learn to fast a whole weekend for example. But he made videos on how to fast correctly which are important.
I always used it as Dr.Berg suggested. Also I add it in the washing machine, it helps a lot.
This was very informative. It reassured me that sometimes the old school methods work because they've been tested thoroughly.
Great! Thanks for your input.
I mix baking soda with my shampoo... Dandruff from my scalp has disappeared. Use it with any shampoo it works.. Oldest soaps had baking soda and olive oil In it which are still made in Israel.
Tricky to play with baking soda on teeth or vinegar..or even worse two combined together.
It's abrasive to the enamel, especially if sensitive teeth.
And once u scrape that off and sensitivity starts, is difficult to go back.
(Same could happen with betonite clay, charcoal... Abrasive. But again.. depends on the thickness of the enamel of each individual.. although l wouldn't play with that)
As a dental hygienist I can concur
I bought a tooth powder with baking soda in it already. So trusting it's good for my teeth. I don't use much and my teeth seem okay. I used to have tartar and it went away. I give credit to diet over brushing. My tonsils have also gotten smaller. I really can't wait to see the dentist as she is skeptical about Keto.
Rubbish you can use either with no effect to the enamel and bicarbonate it is great combine with coconut oil salt and even turmeric much better than any toothpaste so you are not right
@@marleeamato4944 Yep. As a RDH mouthwashing with bi carb is fine but there's a lot of people who are going to have cervical abrasion that possibly weren't if they hadn't seen this video 😑. Not impressed.
I've been brushing with baking soda and charcoal for over 30yrs and dentists and hygenist always ask how I keep my teeth so clean and healthy.
Dr Berg could you please make the video about mediterranean fever please 🙏 ❤️
Thank you very much for your effort , you are the honest person and doctor I have ever seen. ❤️
His videos on autoimmune issues and on D and absorption of D will help with this.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 thank you for your reply 🙏
@@cartoonkinds8900 Welcome.
I have been using baking soda for deodorant for years, it works! Also, for brushing my teeth, it works! Interesting using it for everything else you mentioned..Thank You Dr Berg
I have as well but I add a bit of lemon juice, making a thin paste.
Thanks. Please let us know HOW to use the baking soda 🙏? Can you share your recipes PLEASE?
@@ed.5060 Yes I will!…
for one week wipe your underarms with rubbing alcohol, for females (Do Not Shave when applying alcohol) and rub a little baking soda after applying the alcohol and baking soda for one week, Stop the alcohol and use baking soda only! and if Bacteria forms again under your arms after six months or a year or whenever, just do the alcohol and baking soda treatment again.. I usually don’t have to do that just baking soda works for me! My husband did it and it works for him!
@@ninahndz5880 you can mix coconut oil and the baking soda
@@cherielacroix3046 heyy many people r saying baking soda is bad for our teeth , should i use it or not ????
Excellent.. gratefully received..thank you sooo much.
Thank you Dr. Berg! You're a jewel!
Been a fan of doc since half and a year ago. Took most health advice in here except fasting! Now, mid January, i started to take it seriously and as of typing this(feb 10), I now weigh 82.3kg from 88.7kg. My goal is 60kg so it needs some working to get there but it sure does work like magic!

Sugar and carbs ❎️
Good job. Keep that up!
