Thanks
I was on statin medicine for two years,
The only thing that caused the medicine in me was high in glucose. Stanins cause more damage than they can help.
Total 308 cholesterol levels never dropped. The triglycerios a total of 280 never dropped.
My changes were after I started consuming Citrus Bergamot one capsule in the morning, fish oil three times a day.
three Kyolic aged Garlic,
three capsules of red yeast rice.
now total 185 cholesterol
triglycerides 80
mi A1C -Low from 5.6 - to 5.1
Those are my experience
Wow! Congrat's Thank you for giving more hope! Merry Christmas to you!
Rigo Rivera that's great!
Hi
What did you use for sugar and from where you buy Bergamot i dont have it in my country
what brand are you using
Wow! I just got Early Gray tea for a gift and been drinking it in place of coffee wanted a break from coffee in the morning. I check my glucose this morning and went down by 2O point I'm in shock right now in a fantastic way. Wow! without doing anything different other than drinking my Twinings earl Grey Tea with Citrus Bergamot. I'm Amazed. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing that!
Sewesme from what to what?
Don't take Metformin, it has been recalled, causing cancer
Dear doctor, stations may be causing your insulin resistance, then you should take Metformin as well, ...but, wait, it has been recalled!!!!
Sewesme. Could the coffee caused your blood sugar spike in the morning, how do you drink it ,with sugar ?
Bergamot is very common inThailand , we used the leaves , skin, and juice for many foods and cosmetics products.
Thanks for sharing
I believe keifer limes look like bergamot but are totally different ? Plus, this tastes more like lime.
I am getting a good education by watching teh good Dr Ford's videos. Thank you, Doc !
Thanks
Hi Dr. Brewer. I was surprised to see you had a video on bergemot. I've been taking bergemot, 500mg twice a day, for the last few months, along with Niacin.
+Anthony L Yes. A friend whose into supplements wants me to try that.
Yes, so I heard you say in the video. Hoping it will help lower my numbers. I also might consider taking Crestor since you say that is one statin that works on small Lp(a).
+Anthony L Are you sure I said that? Basically many docs recommend it to decrease/prevent any OTHER risk - like inflammation or ldl cholesterol risk, while the niacin is working on lp(a).
I could be mistaken, maybe you said it worked on lowering small LDL and I took it as lp(a).
+Anthony L I think that may be the case.
I’ve been taking Bergamot for about 3 months as suggested by my doctor. Hope to get a cholesterol test soon to see how it’s working so far.
Can you share the make you use and where to get it from please
DOCTOR IS REALLY NICE TO FINE SOMEBODY TALK VERY WELL PAUSED PEOPLE UNDERSTANDING EVERYTHING YUO SAY THANK YOU FOR EXPLAIN VERY WELL ABOUT BERGAMOT
I prefer Harney & Sons Imperial Earl Grey. *LOVE* bergamot.
Thanks.
I talked to the nurse when I got some lab results. I thought I was going to be starting a statin. I called back today, and they wanted me to start 500 mg of Bergamot. I'd never heard of it. There is not a single pharmacy that sells it near me. Online is only option. The other part is now also finding a reputable company that makes it.
I prefer Lady Grey myself, and the bergamot really shines through.
whaszis » I prefer Lady Grey as well..... unfortunately she's married.
Excellent point at the end. The distinction between drugs and supplements is legal, not medical. An extract purified to a single compound is essentially a non-FDA approved drug. An extract that has a collection of compounds is a non-approved dirty drug. Taking something like this long term might improve your health, or it might worsen your health. You are paying a supplement company for the privilege of self-experimentation. That might make sense if you have terminal or uncontrollable illness, but probably not if you're just an average person who wants to improve your health.
Thanks for sharing
The thumbnail picture, actually not a bergamot.
See comment at the top.
I wonder how much effect it would have just drinking a lot of Earl Grey tea
One thing not mentioned in these Bergamot videos..Bergamot helps prevent tumors from forming new blood vessels , the blood vessels is how tumors draw sugar ,etc. From the blood to survive and grow .
I believe keifer limes look like bergamot but are totally different ? Plus, this tastes more like lime.
Cholesterol is high for a reason....why try to lower it instead of finding out why its high. It being high is probably protecting your body from something worse.
Exactly, "firemen are always associated with these terrible fires, so we must reduce the number of firemen"
@@rob28803 Oddly enough fire departments need to diligently screen applicants to weed out the pyromaniacs who are often drawn to the job to be closer to the fires. (And who often set them when business is too slow..)
Mine is just due to steroids and pro hormones nothing to worry about
Now that's one darn good video.
I have been drinking Lipton Earl Grey Classic for a long time, into which I squeeze the juice of half a lemon. Its delicious but I cant find any reference on the packaging to bergamot🤔

If you want another idea to raise the HDL, eat avocado every day. I eat a serving of Wholly Guacamole minis each day and my numbers are golden! My HDL went from 88 to 104.
+gigi friedman Wow! Those are great numbers. I eat that as well. Same brand, too. Their packaging makes it very convenient.
Bike Vids - not true, avocado fat or any other (good) fat does not make you fat because it does not trigger insulin.
Gigi Friedman - thanks for the tip!
I need to increase my frequency of avocado- like Gigi.
I wish I liked the flavor.
So just please say if bergamot helps or not

Don't heart every comment.

@@wizardatmath Good point
Thank you, doctor! I have a pretty serious lung disease and wonder if calamansi (Filipino lime - strong) would be similar to bergamot?
Yea but what do you do if Bergamot makes you feel weak and can't take it?
Thanks for doing this. I follow Joel Kahn MD as well and first heard about this from him.
I know Dr Kahn. He’s a good guy.
If you’re taking Crestor primarily for its anti inflammatory effect, does it matter what time of day you take it?
iNFLAMMATION IS TELLING YOU SOMETHING IS WRONG....WHY WOULD YOU TRY TO GET RID OF INFLAMMATION INSTEAD OF FINDING OUT WHATS CAUSING IT AND GET RID OF THE MAIN PROBLEM.
Have you looked at tumeric for inflammation?
I was taking 500mg of tumeric and I stopped...this whole cholesterol is driving me crazy.I am thinking none of us are going to come out of this alive...and what does inflamation have to do with cholesterol? help!!!
@CALLIE-CO 2 But something is causing the inflammation...why not find out and get rid of the main problem.
I wish I can take Tumeric but it causes kidney stones in my body.
@Metanoia Then do some research. Genetic sounds like a untrustworthy cause. Keeping in mind Doctors dont know everything. So why should you trust them.
Thank you Doctor Brewer.
Thanks!
You appeared in my recommended section. I'm so glad.
Thanks! Me, too.
to decrease inflamation why not taking Vit C in higher dose than recommended as it as been proven to be very efficient?
“It’s always something “ Rosane Rosannadana
Yes. Thanks.
Theyre still trying to stop symptoms instead of finding the main problem.
Back to the good ol' days!
I’m trying this my Dr wants me to go on Fenofibrate and I want to make some diet changes and try this first

A correction to your data interpretation... box-&-whisker plots present data grouped into quartiles, not standard deviations. The two boxes in a box-&-whisker plot contain the middle 50% of the data centered on the *median* value of the data set. The percentage of data found between -1 sigma and +1 sigma is 68% of the data and is centered on the *mean average*. Assuming there are no significant outliers, the median and the mean should be about the same so your conclusions overall are probably fine, but your interpretation is a bit off. I teach statistics for a living and wanted to make sure people are aware that the stats presented weren't quite as presented. Overall, I'm a big fan and use what you present as I manage my health challenges. Thanks for all that you do!
Thank you very much! Obviously I had forgotten that. That last time I used those was in Exploratory Data Analysis, back in the MPH program.
Very interesting. I wonder how many use red rice yeast ?
Could not stay on Lipitor - side effects. I will watch diet/sugar and do some uphill walking.
@@jocelynmosqueda5793 - Diet and supplements are an option. I ordered niacin and vitamin K2.
Unregulated product but it does reduce cholesterol. Not sure if it has similar side effects as statins or not.
I had nausea and stomach discomfort from taking red rice yeast pills, or perhaps there was an interaction with the other vitamins and supplements I was taking at the same time. These symptoms went away when I took the red rice yeast pills out of my daily vitamin assortment.
@@TheCriticalChris - Good idea. I think niacin is a better choice 👌
What can you say about K2 m7 as helpfulness in treating BP
I take Atorvastatin for cholesterol. Does it have the same effect as Crestor? Thx.
Any statins can raise your blood sugar, and damage your CNS, look for more natural solutions
Bergamot we dont have in my country so what should i use ?
Sour/Bitter orange.
I believe keifer limes look like bergamot but are totally different ? Plus, this tastes more like lime.
Thank you , Dr Brewer , for the information . 🌞
Thanks.
Many many Years ago real Doctors use to work toward finding the main problem the cause and fixing it .......They now have it ingrained in their minds to treat symptoms! Its worthless a waste of time You have inflammation? Why dont you find whats causing it!
Fascinating analysis and I’ll have to plant a few mint orange trees out here in sunny California! ;-)
Good luck!
You may beable to grow bergamot in California
It's more generally called a box and whisker plot.
I take livalo for cholesterol. Does it have the same effect as Crestor? Thx.
Thanks. There is not much evidence yet. But it does indicate that Livalo does decrease inflammation.
Is it possible to drink too much Earl Grey tea? I would like to try drinking it to lower Hba1c and LDL. In your opinion, how many cups of strong (1 tsp per mug) tea would come close to toxicity? Also, I know that adding milk to Earl Grey tea is considered uncouth by some people, but I prefer it with milk. Would that decrease the benefits in any way? Thank you.
+Mai Shek I often have mine with milk as well. There was actually a report of bergemot tea toxicity in the Lancet 2002, by Finsterer. The patient was drinking up to 3 liters/day. Bergemot toxicity can involve the skin (phototoxicity), liver and nerves.
www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(02)09985-3/fulltext
Thanks. I suspect you are right.
I can’t drink it with milk, Earl Grey is not my favourite tea but someone commented that they added lemon juice, so I will give it a try. The fact is that I had never heard of Bergermot until now and I am 74 and I have had a five way heart bypass so anything like this I will try.
Doesn’t milk curdle up when added to earl grey tea? It doesn’t blend well, perhaps due to the chemistry between the citrus oils and the casein and proteins in the milk. So do you like it that way?
@@TheCriticalChris actually no curdling. I always drink it with milk.
N-acytalcysteine?
Niacin helps w his inflammation heart
Has anyone had lady grey tea, i find it relaxing unless i drink too much, caffeine maybe. Also thanks for the video, subbed.
Has there been a 1-year update on this topic? On a side note, as I recall, with no experience taking, was it not something berberin which was considered a metformin alternative, for the poor man?
Yes. Many think of it as a natural alternative. But it’s not as strong.
Hey doc can this be taken with fluoxetine thank you
How I got here: Watching "Better Call Saul", I heard the phrase, "I prefere a Bugamont, but not an Earle Gray". I thoght it so snooty I'd look it up. My wife drinks a lot of tea. I knew Earle and Lady Gray, "Queen for nine days". I live on Earle st. My favorite squirrel, once "Earle Gray" is now known as Burgemont.
Can i have your opinion on Policosanol to lower cholesterol ty
Almost bought that last year based on a study I read. Then I found out the study was done by Cuban scientists in Cuba where the product is also made.
Lemon does the same as bergamot.

I love Earl grey tea. It's not bitter when you sweeten it.
Makrut lime is the fruit in the picture.
Thanks. Gilbert’s working on that.
@@PrevMedHealth To be fair both fruits have the same name in Thai that seems to be the source of the confusion.
Thanks
Wow nice, very quick correction. Glad you responded well and fixed the misinformation, you'll be spared now by the rest of the army that just watched a video about this topic and began surfing around to make corrections lol
@@ItsAsparageese Thanks! Yes, we got hammered on this issue.
Since your primary concern is inflammation, what about an anti inflammatory diet? For sure berries and many other plants are anti inflammatory.
Berries, bergemot, in other pkantyare in my diet.
Too much of anything is bad for you….including meds that have killed people also. I am Allergic to Statins, I choose to go natural. Earl Grey has a lot of caffeine. If you are a heart patient you probably should not have more then 2 cups before 3pm. Switch to Hisbiscus or Chamomile before bed. That’s what I find works for me. It’s a matter of what’s right for you. Have a Great Day!

How much Niacin do you take daily?
2,000 mg
Metformin "safe"? Is untreated raging IBS safe? I know it isn't very pleasant. My GP complains that I need to be taking more Metformin than my current dosage of 500mg/day. Unfortunately I'm one of those IBS afflicted for whom Metformin amplifies IBS to intolerable levels. I can barely tolerate 500mg, anything above that is out of the question. The Metformin IBS side effect is well known, but despite that there seems to be no widely accepted alternative to Metformin. This news about Earl Grey is wonderful as it's my favorite tea. I'm sure I wasn't drinking enough of it though to make a perceptible health benefit.
Thanks! I agree.
Metformin is anti-aging
Bergamot sounds like a town the Allies and Germans fought over in WW2.

Do you think it's safe to take along with Red Rice Yeast if not taking a statin?
Robin Rae I was against statins and my cardiologist told me to take Red Rice Yeast instead, along with CoQ10, Bergamot, Aloe Vera and fish oil.
I didn’t take the fish oil (blood thinning) as I make a concoction of turmeric, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, cayene pepper, black pepper, lemon and honey with water. This tonic works as a natural blood thinner and has immense anti inflammatory properties.
Statins interfere with the mevalonate pathway - this pathway produces not only cholesterol, but steroid hormones, isoprenoids, cq 10, Vit K, etc. 30, 000 molecules are interfered with. Let's take some and hope for the best!
Thanks for sharing.
Dear doctor, statins may be causing your insulin resistance, then, you should take Metformin as well, ...but, wait, it has been recalled!!!!
Bergamot is a fruit...if anyone is harmed by the oil,it most likely isnt the fruit but something added to the oil by man in processing. I swear Doctors ,Scientist,etc aggravate my common sense ;-)

Ayurveda is safe
K2, Gymnema & several other of our techniques were originally Ayurvedic.
Why not take both, take crestor and drink earl grey tea !
Yes.
DON'T put 100% oil your ear...you will end up in the ER.
Thank you! And I won't.
Wow, printed materials. Okay, this was 5 years ago, Lol.
Earl Grey tea are using bergamot artificial flavor.

Its always something?
Theyre still trying to stop symptoms instead of finding the main problem. Thats a Doctors way! It must be ingrained...lol I'm glad I didnt go to college to be a Doctor...The lack of common sense would have just made me quit...lol
The spelling is bergamot!!! Take the meds and live!!
