Dr. Berg has the perfect voice for audiobooks. Especially for kids because his voice is calming and reassuring
Ikr
Yes, listening to him calms me. Just like Bob Ross and Adrian, the Yoga instructor.
Ues very true
💯 agree on that comment
Definitely wish he had some cartoon voice overs to these videos so my daughter would listen and watch.. I'm sure there's some technology maybe white board tutorials could be a nice start... thanks Dr 👍🏼 great info
hey mate, just wanted to thank you! ive had those bumps on my arms and thighs all my life with a flaky scalp and occasionally behind or in the ear. after 4 days of taking flax seed and black seed oil they are 100% gone and my skin is much softer and smoother. I've found a lot of useful info in your vids but this worked a lot better than I thought. thanks!
What kind are you taking and what dose?
nightlady2001 Yes I want to know too
Wow, I started to take omega 3 supplements today because of exactly the same reason. I hope it will work just as fast.
i been binge watch doc berg for a couple days and im about to start a practice
😆😆😆😆
LMAO! I just spent all day watching Dr. Berg Videos (it's official, I'm old and have no life) and was just thinking this.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I share to friends and facebook...lol
@@SpaceTrashQueen I am not particularly old, and have a life, but STILL I binge watch Eric....yeah...he's ERIC to me...sigh....
I ate flax chia and walnuts and think I was still omega-3 deficient, probably my body doesn't convert it too good to EPA/DHA. I had chapped lips all the time and it was hurting really bad, also had depression and didn't sleep very well. I started supplementing with algae oil wich has 600mg dha and 300mg epa and after 2-3 weeks my chapped lips were cured and I sleep a lot better too.
This is the best channel on RUclips.
If this is so we are very happy!
Dr Berg, is there a reason you did not mention fish oils for Omega 3 sources?
I've never heard of anyone being deficient in omega 6 as we get much of this from refined oils which are especially abundant in processed foods and meat. Most people are deficient in omega 3 especially epa and dha.
Correct. Bad meats and food cause that. Eat grass-fed cow, chickens and we wouldn't have this issue. The whole industry is upside down, but we're supposed to eat natural cattle. Never all of these plant products and oils that make us sick.
But if you are watching this video to change your health you will have cut out those things you mentioned and need to maintain an Omega 6 balance with your Omega 3 but in a healthy way.
DingbatToast: That's just to eat grass-fed chicken eggs and grass-fed beef, then they don't need to worry. But all the food in the store will make you sick. And biggest challenge, cut out sugar, I mean all sugars. Can you do that? Man with the words? I bet not. Why because sugar/glucose draws out C-vitamin, B1, Potassium, magnesium, so you end up with a deficiency in these vitamins and minerals by consuming that sugar or plant food. The USA is already plant-based because food contains sugar like corn sirup a the other 50 sugar names the mask it behind. And if you go carnivore, you don't need to worry about going to the dentist, because you will be immune to caries. Just look at the Massai warriors, they don't have any dental problems.
@@DrAskildsen I can't find grass fed cattle and chicken anywhere
@@mek059 Just like Dr. Berg here who is also corrupt because he advises people to get diabetes with all of the plant food. Or he is just afraid, to be honest, and lose his license.
Could you do a video on what anti-depressants do to the body. How effects liver etc. The side effects?
People don't realize how much better they will feel when they take krill oil. I started taking it for dry skin hair and nails and the side affect of waking up pain free was a surprise! I feel so good now!
Things that could have been mentioned is that our typical ratios are pretty close to 15:1 from all the fried food we eat. Also ALA needs to be converted to DHA for the body to use it (which is inhibited by high unsaturated fat including ALA itself). Best advice in my opinion is to use algae DHA right off the bat. Flax seed is better than oil because of added fiber, folate and other great nutrients but just grind it or roast it to ensure you actually absorb it. Glad fish wasn't recommended for once! Thanks for the video Mr. Berg.
Chia seeds have more omega 3's than flax oil, and they don't have to be ground to be eaten (however, they should be soaked until they swell up quite a bit). Both are very healthy and contain alot of antioxidants.
What’s wrong with fish they beat supplements
@@memenazi7078 my apologies for responding from a different account, but to get to the point. Fish has a number of issues as a regular dietary component, the most concerning to your health being the accumulation of heavy metals like lead and mercury through the food chain. Fish consumption has also shown to cause increased inflation in the body which negates the anti-inflationary effects of DHA and is the precursor of just about every lifestyle disease. The third thing about fish is that the industry is highly unethical and is devastating ocean ecology with impunity. Just have some flax.
There are 3 forms of omega 3. ALA, DHA, EPA. You need DHA and EPA from fish oils. Plant sources are ALA and your body typically only converts 5% of ALA to bioavailability
Algae oil has great quality dha and epa also, and it comes without the problems of pollutants or overfishing.
Pork Chop exactly !!!!!!!!!
Why is he only mentioning plant based versions of fatty acids only?
@@Taj-cs3ut Seems like 1.5 years ago was a long time ago in 2018! Dr. Berg is a fast learner and is learning as he goes.
Only two brands of CLO are processed correctly; both are Norwegian. All others are rancid, concealed by the deodorising process.
i had a customer at work, whose face was totally flaky and inflamed
I thought, there must be some nutrients deficiency
now i know
thanks doc, for another good lesson
Did you tell her?
It's so important and useful topic.Thankful dr Berg for excellent explaining.
Welcome, thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for educating me.. As I'm a mum with a child with learning difficulties (ASD) I want to give my child only natural remedies and really want to stay away from drugs so I'm definitely going do this and hopefully proof to her doctors that we can improve her concentration levels by eating healthy.. Your the best. I
Is it working 😃
5 years late but asd ain’t real, it’s more often than not a parenting issue.
@@memenazi7078 I think you need some education 😂
Why am I just finding this channel? 🤦♂️ best information on RUclips
Do the fatty acids have a negative impact on type 2 diabetes?
The closest thing I will ever get of Dr. Berg talking about KERATOSIS PILARIS. Thank you!!!
Watch Will Tennyson too be has keratosis Polaris and said cod liver oil helped him
Hi, thank you! What about fish oil, caps or liquid? Any recommendations?
How much should you eat of these fatty acids a day?
Doesn’t flax convert to estrogen in men? I don’t want that to happen within me.
No don't think about it flax is great
I'm a woman was taking flax oil capsules, next thing I know I'm moody and wanting to cry over TV shows I'm like this is weird it's not even time for my period. Stopped taking went back to normal
Heather Sieglock 😂😂😂
Oh wow. I'm gonna try to get some kind of cold pressed vitamin then. (Crazy how supplements can affect you. And I had a doctor tell me they 'don't work.' Ugh)
sarah j. ?
Do not take any of those seeds they cause major endocrine disruptions. I lost my periods due to flax seed. I took one spoon twice a month.
Finally, after all the searching, it seems malabsorption of EFA's sounds like the likely problem. Have ALL the skin symptoms, and it's been horrible. Taking EFA's currently, but need gut assistance At least now I know what's wrong.
Same!!
By taking capsules of Omega 3,5,9 on a RDA of 100% will that work just the same? Or do they need to be consumed via diet?
rocky mountain lass did you take 9 pills? I also have underactive thyroid within “ normal range”. I would like to try omega 3,6,9 - not sure if I should take 9 pills.
@@leenavus fish oil capsules have Omega 3s and are helpful for underactive thyroid.
@rocky mountain lass what is 3,6,9s? 9 pills?
I don’t understand the 1:1 ratio. “They” say we need around 2g a day of omega 3, and 17g a day of omega 6.... how on earth would you do a 1:1 ratio??? 2g of both or 17g of both?? Or go somewhere in the middle? Doesn’t make sense
I look at Dr Berg and I followed him because he had a high follower count , back then it was 600K or something and I thought "so many followers,must be smart " ... Now he's an enterprise
How much should be consumed on a daily basis to correct these problems?
This explains a lot. I have the dry flaking skin in my ears and it has had me stumped for years...suddenly my hair is thinning and the skin on my toes have been cracking. Should I take an omega 3 - 6 - 9? Slightly high testosterone...is like not to provoke that
Omega 3,6,9 is great! My doctor recommends it 3 per day
Hi dr Berg what do you think about krill oil and do you recommend taking krill oil supplements ?
Love love all your videos . Could you please turn up your audio it's hard to hear some of them on iPad .
Any thing that improves vishion I am interested in.
Great video, though I miss a note around men and flax + chia in regard to testosteron production. Maybe you could do a video about that. Thank you!
hye dr berg..can i drink organic sunflower seed oil to get vitamin E?
I love your videos. Is it ok have hemp milk daily for essential fatty acids. ? Are there any harmful effects?
Are fish oil supplements recommended for omega 3 deficiency?
I don't have any skin problem but I do have hairloss problem & back pain. Is it a deficiency of fatty acids?
What is the perfect cooking temperature to keep omega 3❓
How is it possible to cook with it?
Omega 6 Causes Inflammation so how do you suggest Consuming omega 6 ? I have Hidradenitis
What is the best time to take omega 3 and omega 6 ?
midnight
hi Dr..how much chia n flax seeds n walnut in quantity shud we take everyday....thanks.
I love chia seeds but how much would I consume per day/week to get the benefits you describe?
U can simply soak them in a glass of water for an hour and drink it
@@chooseaname30 but chia is omega 3
BSA BSA ... Yes I do so in watered down juice. Im curious to know specifically the ‘quantity’ to consume each day to get the benefit.
The wording is that available research has been "more favorable toward a diet containing omega-3 rich foods rather than on chia seeds alone".
Dr. Berg is not wrong here!
Eat chia seeds if you like. 60% of the seed contains omega-3 which is easily absorbed.
All 9 essential amino acids! Zinc, copper, calcium, more... amazing.
All things in balance, as always!
Soak them overnight is better
Surely the fish oil is better than the vegetable ones, as far as omega3 goes? I thought that had been established.
@@TheOfficialArthurMorgan Krill oil is an option, if you don't want bigger fish with higher levels of poison in their system.
@@TheOfficialArthurMorgan Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
I've read some info that Omega-3s from flaxseed and chia is poorly absorbed and only 5% is actually used by human body. Getting your omega-3s from fish is probably the best option.
Second this :)
Chia and Flax must be soaked or freshly ground in order to properly absorb the omega fats, study have proven this. Hemp Hearts are a great option for omega fatty acids.
Jimmy Uranus salmon sashimi! Best and delicious way!
Kismet nope, ala can't be converted in the human body at an efficient rate to a usuable form of dha orepa. Woman because of estrogen can convert it at a higher rate... Still, it's not sufficient source of essential fatty acids. Your best bet is krill, fish oils, and or if you have no brain and are a vegan you can use alge based products.
@@UncleMike81 Nope. At the lowest rate of ALA conversion you would need about 5.4g ALA daily. For example a serving of chia seeds. Can always use an algae based DHA supp, apparently it's better absorbed than fish oil.
i read somewhere, if i had my gallbladder removed i should avoid omega 6. is that correct?
I have chia seeds. How much would I have to take for what I would need?
Dr. Berg is the best.
So Omega 3 is good for Linolenic
If one had Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorder, should they supplement with Omega 3 & 6... or no?
I already going to buy the tablets tomorrow
Thanks for keeping it short and informative as always :)
Does flaxseed mimic estrogen, or lower testosterone?
Great information for people who are able to consume healthy fats. I am not able to eat seeds,nuts or any other kind of fats or oils without feeling very sick!
What about Omega 7 oils?
I heard that chia seeds have estrogens in them that are bad. Is this true and should we still use chia seeds?
I was getting terrible hormonal headaches for a week right before my monthly for 3 months and it was happening before that as well but not as bad. My husband did research for me n bought me flax pills that also contain omegas. The headaches stopped!!!!!!!! Thank GOD!!!!!!!
You are such a great teacher! Thank you!
Like Always the best information thank you
Thank you for the support!
I have diverticulosis and cannot eat seeds or nuts . What other things can I eat to get these ?
nadiyaah00 if you grind them to a powder
So where I can get fatty acids. veggies or animals or buy from shope. thank you.
Yep, I'm going to need some Omega oil's. Would it be better to buy a bottle with multiple types of Omega oil's or should i buy the specific Omega oil that i need for a more direct benefit?
Fish and coconut oil also help or not?
Why is 6s are considered the bad oils and 3s the good oils? is it that both are good oils in the right ratios?
Yess so atm society consumes too much 6s which cause a imbalances in out body.
Also if we're not consuming enough omega 3s then it effects our anti inflammatory responses omega 3 provides that.
Too much of one thing become harmful I guess even if it's good in its origin
Obviously, the balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 is essential. Unfortunately, the Omega-6 value is much higher than the Omega-3 f. acids, due to our food consumption behavior. Humanity should constantly seek and keep the balance.
People, this is important.
I am abit confused. So I have what you listed under Omega 6. Does that mean I have to much of omega 6? Or I need more in my life? Where can I also get flex seed?
He says these are symptoms when you're deficient of those fatty acids
My doctor recommends 3,6,9 Omega 3 per day
How many tablespoons a day do I, need to take as a daily supplement.
I've tried chia seeds and they go in and out unscathed. Oil is best?
Sir, can I take supplements for omega 3?
I eat Walnuts avocado salmon omega 3,6,7,9
Hi awesome video. What about fish oil 9?🤔Ty
Is there a cure for Granulomatosis Wegener Disease? How would you approach this Autoimmune Disease.
Would you also suggest consuming Krill oil supplement?
You are a godsend Dr. Berg. Thank you! 🙏
Is cod liver oil good to take for your essential fatty acids
Spencer Steele. Yes for omega 3 is it good for omega 6 too
Is black currant oil okay? A friend told me taking bco stopped his joint pain.
Dear ,Dr Erig Berg
Is lipoma too fatty acids deficient and is lipoma curable?plss help just got the 2nd lump on my face by mosquito bite
Wow, this guy mentioned a few problems i am having right now!! I need to start getting my omegas, bought a good supplement.
Just makes sense why people around himalayas in asia(mid-west, far-west of nepal and kumaon and gharwal of india)eat hemp achar (pickle) as important part of their daily diet since a long time
What
Such good information. Thank you for your hard work.
How many mg do i need to take omega 3?
I feel overwhelmed because I don't know where to start on addressing health issues. Kind of went overboard on ordering supplements recently but I wish I had just ordered from you. Feel as if I'm going crazy..Need to help family members as well as myself. All your videos are excellent & I want to send links to everybody I know. It also does my head in worrying about all the people putting garbage dressed as "food" in their trollies, as well as the fact that we're constantly being lied to. I think I want to go to bed & pull the covers over my head now.. Please make a philosophical video on how to cope with reality & stay sane..esp when family members don't want to know the truth.
I agree! I feel so overwhelmed the more real info I get from these RUclips videos! I just want to move to an Island and grow my own food!!
good luck and do NOT let the haters get you down!!! help all you can for the people who are willing to listen! those not willing to listen, let them go their own way and don't stress it. you need to do what's best for YOU.
Best advice - thanks Dr Eric!
@Andras Tamas
It's my pleasure!
I have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I do not consume animal products. But I'll still be happy to use some advice.
I don't think we know much about the functions of our body.
So thanks again. 🙏💖
God Bless Everyone
Eric, I appreciate the information. What are your thoughts on lion's mane, cordyceps, reishi, and chaga mushrooms? Thanks!
Can you increase the audio volume of your videos please. I cannot hear this particular one on my phone.
How to eat flax, chia, hemp ?
Hi Dr. Eric Berg. Can you make a video about Melasma??? Please, I would like to know the real causes and how to treat it. You are the only doctor that I trust now. Thanks very much!!! :)
Kátia Araújo Agreed, that would be great😀
Doc, is flaky heels also one of the symptoms?
Yes...also a symptom of hypothyroidism
Is it safe for a woman with acute pancreatitis to take these? Thank you for your help? Do you see patients? I really need help.
Can you do a video on getting too much vitamin A on keto or carnivore... Can that happen? I've been keto for year and a half and think I may have too much vitamin A in my body.
Thank you Dr i really enjoyed your video and how clearly you explain everything wish you had a office in Florida I'll share this video with my family and friends
Dr Eric, what’s your take on gluten please? Thank you 🙂
God bless this man🙏
please give us your though about blackseed oil, i wonder why you never mention it at all
Great request.
Yes!
I have spent months investigating reducing eczema at home and found a fantastic resource at Enata Skin System (check it out on google)

Peyz Maru
Yes please. I want to know if it's good to give it to my mom who has ALS. She can't talk or swallow.
Ok. First he said don't take to much Omega 6 it's inflammatory but on here he said take those seeds. So should I take it🤷🏾♀️
I heard that hemp seeds raise estrogen, is that true?
What foods raise estrogen in men and should be avoided?
thanks
You don't need to worry about phytoestrogens as they only affect plants. But you do need to worry about actual estrogen found in milk and dairy.
Soy, flax, tea tree
Amazing facts! Big THANK to you sir! Brillant education about reaching a balance in the Essential Fatty Acid needs for a healthy life!
I recently started putting those seeds in almost everything I eat and my skin stopped flaking. I'm also recovering faster from workouts. I thought it was because I was drinking more water but maybe this is why... really freaks me out that I could have had a miscarriage.
Sandra G &hi
Y. Yan lol, you hitting on her?😄
How ur skin now?
Thanks Dr. Your screen, white board is not clear. Your voce is ok. Only thing the words on screen is not visible. Thanks

Hello Dr. Berg, I am taking 1000 mg of fish oil and 500 mg of primerose tablets is that a good ratio? And how many times a day should I take this combination one, two or three times a day?
You should supplement 2 x a week if you aren't eating fish in your diet
Primerose Tabletten?
A dried up Version of that oil
