My great-grandfather was diagnosed with terminal "low iron" issues in his 50s and told he had months to live. He ate a small piece of liver every day and lived to over 100.
I have this gene and after a number of early miscarriages and not being able to fall pregnant .. a month and a bit taking Organic grass fed beef liver tablets and I fell pregnant I'm currently 37 weeks! 🥰
You may need more protein...the older you get the more protein you need. Read "The Search for the Perfect Protein " you can find it free online. There's MANY dis-eases associated with low protein intake. If you're like me and have tried a bazillion different remedies and they only help temporarily- the one thing that has helped me immensely is increasing my protein intake- quality protein!
A 110 year old woman in my area was asked what she eats that may be the cause of her longevity. She mentioned, Liver meat, dwarf unripe plantain and ukpaka ( fermented African oil bean seed)
My grandmother passed of COVID at 96 was other wise healthy she ate organs but also loved her food greasy as hell salty as hell sweet as hell , cooked for taste not healthy but what probably helped her was coming up with home raised food not relying on grocery stores till the later years
6 months ago I watched this video. Starting eating liver twice a week. Ive noticed my energy is much better, my skin glows, even my bedroom performance has skyrocketed. I dont understand everything Dr. Berg says, but Im convinced. Liver is transformative!
Liver is great for anemia. Fried fresh liver in brown gravy with browned onions & garlic; then served with mashed potatoes. Hated liver as a child but Mom's policy of 2 bites of new foods eventually led to liking it over time.
That sounds soooo good! My mom made it pretty often as I was growing up. After watching this video, I went and bought some. I thought I’d make mashed potatoes and sauté onions and a veggie side this weekend 😋
At age 24 I was diagnosed with stage 3 C ovarian cancer. No family history. I’ve had genetic testing done as I was worried for my children one day. I don’t carry the gene, but it came back with Gene Mutation MTHFR. I find these gene effect me more as I got older. Funny enough I love liver 😂 I know when im low as I crave liver! I’ve stopped drinking alcohol! Makes me feel so yuk next day. Thank you 🙏🏼 Dr. Berg, I love watching your videos ❤
WOW!!! I was diagnosed with MTHFR gene Mutation back in 2016 after multiple mid term miscarriages after having 4 healthy pregnancies. I have both Homozygous and Heterozygous genes so I am susceptible to most things that you listed here. I have been suffering from depression, Anxiety and panic attacks for last 8yrs+. I eat healthy as I am a former IIN student, however I suffer from many inflammatory illnesses. I take Vitamin D with K2, methylfolate, B12 and a host of other supplements to help, however I haven't really noticed a decrease in any of my symptoms. I suffer with low heme iron as well and never realized that it was a symptom of MTHFR. This video and information comes to me at a time in my life where I am determined to live healthy and heal no matter what it takes. I truly appreciate all of this information, you are God sent.
Why take supplements? Its just a other word for medicine. And who are taking medicines? Sick people. Only eat very nutrients rich foods like liver and oysters and drink kefir and raw milk . Raw butter etc.
My dad's liver recipe: "Bring the pan to FULL heat, greased with butter ghee. Put the chopped liver into the frying pan and cover with a lid (occasionally turning the liver) When the meat is cooked through, turn the heat off and cover in chopped raw onion (one large cooking onion) Throw in some dried parsley, oregano, lemon juice, salt and olive oil Leave the pan lid on top and let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the onion to pull the pungent taste from the liver"
This is so helpful 😩 My mom has this problem and so did my grandma and aunt, so there’s a pretty solid chance that i have it too. My mom tried to explain all of this to me as a teen but it was a bunch science that went WAY over my head. Thanks for breaking it down! Just cooked my first batch or chicken liver today! Here’s to a healthy future 💪🏼
In France where I live, it is as expensive as the best meat.The French love it and consume it frequently. I cook it with Dijon moutarde and a little bit of white wine. Also with onions. Or with bacon. If you don't like it is because you haven't found the right recipe for you. In Spain liver is very cheap, around 7 euros a kilo, because people don't eat it anymore... Learn to cook it and enjoy!
@@cyberfunk3793 Not getting enough attention, are we...? Your arrogant ignorance is beyond astounding - and so is the misinformation You're spreading...
@@ViolenTech oh wow do you say that a lot? also, while i am no medical expert, Dr. Berg himself recommends grass finished liver for a reason, because while the liver indeed doesn't store toxins, it does filter them, and if you remove the liver while it is filtering toxins, then if i'm not mistaken, that will be included in the liver.
@@__Paul__ so the liver doesn't filter toxins? where do any possible toxins go if you remove the liver while it is filtering them? i'm pretty sure this is a simple conservation of mass physics question lol
Dr. Berg, I love your videos and you are so beyond helpful. I have autoimmune disease and my health was at an all time low for years and years, I thought I was literally going to die. I have put a lot of focus into nutrition and although a lot of people would probably call me obsessive I feel better now than I have since I was a kid. Your videos have helped a lot because I have learned so much from you and you give me hope that I have control over my own health through the things I eat. You've given me more hope that I don't have to be sick and miserable because there are things I can do about it and heal my body. Thank you!
I "feel" you! Been at what felt like death's door many times over the past 20 years. Wish I'd found Berg a decade ago... it was not for lack of looking, research & finding alternative medical professionals. I've learned more in 3 weeks putting the pieces together than I could in 15 years on my own. Also found my MD naturopath has been omitting key nutrients. Just putting out fires for 7+ years.
I'm feeling I'm going to die I'm so scared I feels my entire body on fire my eyes too my everything please help some body when I go to my doctor and I get complex shot I feel better in 20 mins time but he do not give me an entire b12 he mix it with other stuff so I feel bk sick in 1 wk time
I tried liver yesterday for the first time in years, hated it. Calves liver!!! What a difference, mild flavor, very tender. Fried in olive oil with sweet yellow onions 😊
Thank you Dr. Berg. When I was young my mother had hypoglacemia/low blood sugar and other issues and she would eat liver & onions at least once a week, not only did that seem to cure these issues her eyesight hugely improved. Liver used to be so easy to find, it was a usual part of the weekly meals we had as a kid. Wow how things have changed!
Such good info! For the last 3 or 4 years, I have been buying grass-fed ground beef from a ranch that offers an option of having 15% organs added to it. That is how I have been getting my organ meat. It took a bit of getting used to because I was not crazy about the taste, but now I actually really like it. I will definitely appreciate even more my organ meat after hearing your presentation. Thanks Dr B.
@@davidbea3711 I can't help you mate, living in Europe I have opportunity to buy meet directly from small village farmers. 100% natural in every aspect.
I tried beef liver with tons of onions first time today. I felt satisfied all day and it tasted alright if you season it right. Gonna adopt it as a main stay in my diet.
A big and warm THANK to you, dear, Dr. Eric Berg for giving us so many good facts and advice for more health and longevity of our lives! God bless you and your whole family! Greetings from Sweden!
I had liver last week , Beef liver fried in butter with seasoning salt. It was fantastic. I bought 3 packages of Liver tonight at the store. You always give great advice. 📖🌷
@@originalpirate6121 no every human that refuses to open their mind and heart! And do a little research! What evolved human eats the liver from a sentient being! What’s next their heart, eyes, spleen! Pls make the connection
I've watched your channel for years, you always seem to have a wonderful organic solution to the problem presented. Personally I appreciate the in depth knowledge you provide as well so that I no longer need to research the subject, makes things much easier when trying to lengthen one's life as much as possible.
My husband has known the benefits of liver for a long time, and used to beg me to cook it, but I could never stand the smell or taste. So sadly we've had major deficiencies in our diet. Recently I learned about soaking liver in milk for about an hour before cooking. Amazingly that removes much of the smell so I'm able to cook it and make my hubby happy.
Here in South India, liver is quite tasty, and has no bad smell, cause of thr way its cooked. Just check videos on RUclips, you may want to search "liver fry gowda style' or 'liver fry hyderabadi style'. Find one in English and try it out. Hope u like it.
Check out trubeeforganic. They have an ancestral ground beef blend that has 10% liver as well as kidney mixed in with the beef. It hides most of the taste and is much easier to eat than straight liver. It’s really helped my diet.
I could cry!!!!!!! 😭😭😭 THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video Dr. Berg!!!! You answered my question!!!!! My whole family has this gene mutation and SO many of those symptoms. I had no idea beef liver could help us. THANK YOU!!!!!!
@@Cosmo-Kramer blood test, but make sure you ask your doctor if you have the gene after the test because the doctor didn’t even tell my mom she had to ask him. So now I’m going to ask him if I have it
@@Cosmo-Kramer you have to request the the "MTHFR genetic blood test" be done by your doctor. If you want insurance to pay for it, the doctor will probably ask you why you want it to be done. You can of course list the many many reasons this gene makes a difference to your health and how you need to altar your intake of various nutrients, and that you suspect you have this issue. And this may be enough to substantiate why the test is necessary (so that your insurance will pay for it). We have all been tested. And I'm SO glad we were! And yes, ALWAYS ask for your test results or they may not even tell you!
Try this. My favorite is chicken liver adobo (Filipino food). You just need a little oil for sauteing, lots of garlic, bayleafs, crush pepper corns, soy sauce and vinegar. Simple and easy to cook but its super delicious. Don't forget to top it in the rice. Yah it's good for your health. Thank you Doc Eric.
Whenever I search for information on supplements I look through the description and almost always see that the product is being sold. Thanks for not selling out. I should have subscribed a long time ago. Now I am!
Outstanding commentary with profound information that we need to know so that we can reach the pinnacle of good health. Thank you for your work and concern for people who aspire great health.
All I know is the pups sit under the table and drool. When I slow cook chicken livers, in olive oil with black pepper. The wife takes thyroxine and won't touch it, or any liver.
Dr. Berg, I love eating liver even though people criticize me 'hey how can you eat that, so gross!'. I eat it once or twice a month. I love your videos, you've helped me alot during my journey with diabetes, now I'm in full control of my numbers. I follow your nutrition advice. I just need to ask you one thing, would you kindly use a mic or anything that will make your sound better quality? Sound is not clear. Otherwise, I wholeheartedly thank you for your time and the information you provide, you save lives every day!
My doctor told me not to eat liver no more because it was high in cholesterol. My cholesterol was high so he didn't want me to eat eggs, liver and put me on a low fat diet. I been on keto since February and my blood sugar went down from a A1C of 13.5 to 5.7 and I have lost 24 pounds and feeling great.
Don’t listen to your dr. Listen to Dr. Berg. He’s the one saving people’s lives on you tube. Keep Reading Girl! You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t want to have great health. Don’t give up on yourself.
New pier reviewed research states that people with higher cholesterol live longer healthier lifes. Be cautious of centralized doctors, they are big pharma owned
Dr. Berg, Thank you so much for helping us to better understand how to improve our lives in a healthier way. We know that you must be extremely busy, but we would like you to please start a new video series, perhaps called, "what I eat in a day" or " what I keto in a day", where you will basically show us what you eat, drink, and what kind of supplements/vitamins you take during a day. If possible, make the video series for at least 30 days, it doesn't have to be consecutive but at least we would like to see one whole month of videos in total. We all would like to get a better idea of what exactly is in your daily diet. Thanks, from Japan.
I was waiting for this video for many days.. thanks a lot.. am consuming 3 small pieces of beef liver every day and i experience a lot of benefit from this.
You will pay for this down the line. I guarantee your liver is going to suffer, and whether it's 10 months or 10 years you will regret eating all of that liver. Please look up Grant Genereux.
I have MTHFR - compound heterozygous - one faulty gene from both parents. Didn't notice it until later in life then the gene 'switched on' and suddenly my whole life changed. When I eat chicken liver I feel normal - like I used to feel before MTHFR - lots of energy, almost no inflammation and a clear head. My liver loves it when I eat liver because the nutrients are instantly accessible. Good advice about stopping supplements - don't take them all the time, that's why they're called supplements - they supplement your diet. The body has to work hard to break them down and the stomach lining has to be in good shape too. People with MTHFR - focus on eating organic food, reduce chemicals in your environment and detox as much as possible. Stay away from heavy metals - that's in most fish. Green tea seems to help and hemp oil is good too. Sweat out the toxins if you can or dry brush the skin, epsom salt baths and keep the stress down.

When I make my organ meat stew I definitely feel a "high" soon after eating it. Organ meats = super foods. Also, external castor oil packs help in liver support and inflammation.
My daughter HATES liver! She is in an assisted living facility for heart problems andvdiabetes. Zero nutritious foods! I buy her organic when possible, also pre cook some freezer meats ie stews, casseroles, packets of meats she incorporates into other meals. These are portioned freezer meals. Point here is …. grass fed ground bf. and frozen organic liver. (She has no clue!) Frozen liver chops up into little bitty pieces. Toss liver onions, garlic beef, (green peppers if you wish ) into skillet…brown . When cool…bag it for freezer. She loves it! I’ve never told her liver was in it….think it would gag her. I know many of the healthy improvement she’s experienced over last two years has been due to addition of more nutritious foods. Thanks Dr. BERG for confirming.❤️ And for all you liver haters out there……….this really works. The addition of 1-2 slices of an organic bacon will absolutely camouflage any liver flavor.
I have slowly started adding liver into my diet. I buy grass fed meat from a place in Texas and they sell an ancestral blend (ground beef, liver, heart) which I make into a meatloaf and braunschweiger which I pan fry with eggs. It's a slow start but I'll try to eat it more often. Thanks for all the info you provide to help us stay healthy naturally.
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION. I Love liver, eat it at least 4/14 meals a week on average. In our family when we eat chicken ( our own free range) we always give and encourage the young ones to eat liver. We are simple rural folks don't know much about nutrition... I guess the elders learned by observations.
Dr. Berg, please make a video on genetic differences between Asian, Africans & Caucasian on carbs, meat & dairy metabolism. I’ve came across some med journals that mentioned about this. Thanks!
Yes, I think this would interest many. For instance, apparently some people have up to 15 copies of the amylase gene for digesting starch, whereas some only have one.. a HUGE diference in capacity.
I consumed beef liver quite often when i was a kid, we are so dawn poor and have nothing to eat. Beef liver is almost for free, no one want to eat it and it's the only thing our parent can afford and feed us, it's actually taste excellent when you add celery. Growing up, my thinking is almost as majority of population that liver is toxic and stop eating them. But thing change from today! Thank you Dr. Berg! Brilliant information as always!
Please please please do more videos on MTHFR! I discovered that I have the homozygous c677t MTHFR mutation after struggling my whole life with anxiety, adhd, estrogen dominance/pcos, and most recently in the last few years poor stress tolerance, extreme weight gain, dysautonomia symptoms, debilitating fatigue and now pain issues. I was experiencing nerve, joint and muscle pain and was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I started taking methy-b12 and methyl-folate and my nerve pain disappeared overnight. My cognitive function significantly improved and my overall pain is way less. My mood is way better and my adhd has improved. I’m trying to learn as much as I can about this genetic mutation because it seems to be the key to a lot of functions that impact daily life!
I have a lot of these same symptoms. The inflammation in my body has triggered Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. I have had to eat a low histamine diet because I am having food sensitivities/ allergies to just about everything I eat. I’m down to being able to eat like 15 foods. My Naturopath has not given me my results in their entirety and only given me one piece of info from my gene testing. He wants to order 1 expensive supplement for me and wait to see how my symptoms do after a month. I’m not convinced and want to know exactly what’s going on so that I can order my own supplements if need be. Can you tell me please if there are any other supplements you’ve had to take other than Folate and B12? Glutathione? Thanks! 😊
@@leannshort2211 also he may be checking which minerals flare you so he knows titrate each one when you take this mineral I say to you it will flares you good sign so start slowly gallons water with salts
@@Truerealism747 Thank you for your response. I don’t have pain. Well, maybe occasional headaches. My biggest symptoms since acquiring Covid in April 2021 has been MCAS/Histamine intolerance and loss of smell and taste. I drink lots of water and will be buying grass fed/grass finished liver from a local beef farm this weekend! I’m just wondering if there is anything more I should be doing. I think I’m going to start taking a high dose of Vitamin D and Vitamin C. These help with inflammation.
I don't follow a ketogenic diet but this is another excellent informative video from Dr. Berg. After watching this I ate some lamb's liver yesterday for (I think) the first time in my adult life and it's super energising - will try to have it a couple of times a week.
2 time a weak enough,,,took also palmfruit dates in your food list and eat daily ,,it helps the control system of body and help against diabetic,,,when you cant eat much liver ,,marinade it with flour so you can eat more
@@sucrecalderon Pretty sure flour is not in Dr bergs list of good foods and it shouldn't be. I would not cover something healthy in something unhealthy.
Dr. Berg, I love your channel! I buy grass fed, grass finished beef liver from a local farmer. I eat 1.5 oz. a day. I have had my Genome tested and it showed I had an MTHFR gene and a couple other ones. However I am not low in Folate or B12. 🤷🏻♀️ I know that it’s been said that we can turn our Genes off and on. I got C 3 years ago, April 2021 and I’m still suffering. I have done so much research over the past few years that it has brought me to my old root canals and wisdom teeth cavitations are what the root cause is to all my systemic illness. I have so much inflammation in my body, especially my lungs. RANTES in jawbone cavitations can cause all sorts of disease, systemic inflammation and even cancer. I wonder if RANTES could also be at play in turning on Genes?! Working with a Biological Dentist who will be pulling my root canals and cleaning out my wisdom teeth cavitations. I hope I get my life back after this. 😔 Thank you for your channel! ❤️
As Dr Berg has pointed out before and this video the MTHFR gene is the reason why you shouldn't consume folic acid (regardless of your doctor's recommendation to), because of your body's inability to convert it to folate. Instead you want to consume folate (the natural version known as methylfolate if you're going to supplement).
@@natashaletourneau5368 take heart! I had a ruined liver also after pregnancy.. Keep following Dr. Berg's advice and be patient and loving with yourself... you can be healthy again. Our bodies are amazing, self-healing masterpieces, when given the right nutrition!
Such great info as always. How often would you recommend eating liver for the benefits? I'm on OMAD and it is a challenge to get enough variety of food.
I love your videos and have learned so much over the years of watching! I'd love to see a video about COMT and MAO genetics mutations and how to deal with those. 😊👍
Dr Berg, I am so grateful for you. I used to eat liver, as a teenager, because Teen magazine said it did wonders for your hair. I ate it with bacon and onions to make sure I could get it down. To my surprise, I really liked it. Later, in life, I read that liver was toxic so I stopped eating it. I have so much inflammation, in my body now. Lord knows what else I have now that I'm in my 60s. This video is so informative, and provides info on such amazing benefits. Now, I have to learn to make liver myself. Thanks.
It's interesting to see you making this video. I'm Brazilian and eating beef liver is really common there, and it's one of my favorites to the point of craving it specially from my grandma. It's delicious and really healthy. It's really normal for us and we grew up eating it. Hahah God bless you!
Just found out I have the "rarer" form of MTHFR gene mutation. I am 28 years old. I now know why I have been so sick, and it has only increased over the years. I am chronically EXHAUSTED. But finally am on a new supplement regime and diet change, and am seeing improvements after a few weeks.
Yes I would be interested too. I just had my MTHFR tested and my Naturopath wants to be shady and not give me my results in its entirety. He wants me to take some expensive supplement that ONLY he can order…. Take for a month and see how my symptoms improve. NOT SOLD! And VERY infuriating!! I’ve been dealing with this for too long to still be getting the run around! 😡😔
@leannshort2211 you need to take methylfolate and methyl b12 as well as P5P (B6). Some people may have trouble with methylation and would react negatively to them in which case try folinic acid (not folic) and hydroxy B12
During my childhood goat lever fry is my favourite dish. I stopped eating lever after I was told that lever contains toxins. I am an engineer without much biology knowledge. Thanks Dr Eric.
"Fegato alla veneziana" is an excellent receipe for those who don't like it...My Mom cooked it fairly often and it really tastes good with onions and vinegar 😊
In Australia beef liver is not allowed to be exported any more due to high cadmium content according to the dept of agriculture here (cadmium from superphosphate in the soil and grass)
Eating organic meats is quite common in Pakistan and liver is on top of the list. Our Naturopaths always prescribe it for curing anaemia. I remember my Mother taking it. It's not very palatable but your information as usual is mind blowing. A must have on my list. Thank you Doctor
It was popular everywhere earlier.. unfortunately new generation kids only like boneless tasteless meat which is deep fried .:) Organ meat is extremely good ..
The food supply chain in Pakistan is one of the worst in the world when it comes to food safety standards. Poor hygiene standards while processing is another story altogether... Livestock is being raised with uncontrolled use of antibiotics and hormones...
Very interesting. I kind of have all the symptoms. Sometimes in the same time. Iron buildup but anemia and low iron signs, scoliosis, ataxia, depression, sensitivity to alcohol, fatigue ... Most of the time I feel okay but for a few month i had them all at once. And i always loved liver and globally organ meats.
and you don't find it disgusting to eat something like that? the simple though of it makes me shudder. Also looking at the picture. Well, I envy you for not feeling like that. :-)
@@dreamraver my daughter eats it, and other organs, raw. I can’t. I cut raw liver into small pieces, freeze it, and swallow them like pills. Otherwise, I fold it as you do.. revolting.
I have an MTHFR mutation, and had sky high estradiol (455), MCAS, many other things. I couldn’t even take methylated b vitamins, they increased my inflammation. I’ve quit taking all formulated vitamins and just take grass fed beef liver. I also went carnivore about 3 months ago so I could only ingest nutrients in all the best forms, with all of the necessary enzymes and co factors. It’s working. I’m sleeping great, for the first time in my life, and feeling much more awake, alert, clear and happy. ♥️♥️♥️
Very nice. This info is very much appreciated and it really makes me look into the vast variety of what the importance of food is to the body and society. I love this knowledge. Thank you Dr Berg
Yep! I love Liver. My Dad cooked a lot of Liver when I was younger. So good. I just had some last week. I also like Beef Heart. High in vitamins and minerals, mainly CoQ10 🙋🏽♀️ Thank you Dr. Berg
Just cooked liver yesterday! 😋 I keep it stocked in my deep freezer.I was raised on eating beef liver and still love it to this day and now my daughters love it too! We also eat it for iron. But the thing is, I’ve only ate it fried. I season and lightly flour it and fry in light olive oil. Frying may not be the best but It would seem disgusting eating it any other way. Thank you for the video!
I cut the liver in medium size stew-like pieces, dip it in egg then the bread crumbs mixed with little parm cheese. I fry it in a big enough pan with some olive oil so I have room for flipping it over. I keep turning it over until it’s nice and brown but not burned. I found it doesn’t take long to make it this way, it stays softer and it tastes delicious. Once done I’ll take my “liver stew”😀 out and add little more oil to the pan and do my onions. Sometimes I may cook up some mushrooms separately, I guess you could add anything you’d like. I try to make it at least twice a month so in between we may have some liver sausage instead. I know it’s processed, but we don’t eat it too often and I think it’s better than eating some other junk out of a box. Oh, forgot to add, that if I have any leftovers they taste even better the next day. Sometimes I snack on them cold, lol.
Although liver king made a mistake about his steroid use or whatever, at least he did come forward and admitted his mistakes. However he's absolutely right about having liver in your life therefore I will still watch the Liver King and remain a fan. The man inspired me to have liver at least twice a week along with scrambled eggs, sweet potatoes, and beans and a banana. I gotta tell you that combination right there will have you ready to take on the tuffest of days. I feel absolutely amazing ever since I've started eating this meal every week. So much I can tell you how it helps. And it's a cheap low cost meal. Win win win. ( Splash a light spoonful of dale's seasoning and or Worcester sauce on the liver...mmmmm amazing 😍) Especially being a landscaper down here in Florida that meal every other day is my best friend.
Can you easily find organic liver? Dang I haven't had liver since I was a kid I had no idea it was good for you I always thought it was just this crap that my mother made me eat
I was taking grassfed liver capsules for a few months and loved how i felt. I ran out and didnt reorder. My hair and skin felt dull and dried out and i felt weaker. I realized it was the beef liver so im back on it and feel good again. It is the best form of iron to take. I caught the 6 pack joke 😝
Enjoyed as much as I learned and that applies to all your clips. My question: how do cod livers compare to the grass feed livestock livers that were the focus in this video?
Good video, but please sort out your noise reduction settings as there clearly is too much applied here which makes the annunciation difficult to understand in certain places.
Thank you Dr. For your hard work to educate us about the best our health. If you don't mind to ask, 500gm is enough or too much in daily basis, God bless you
Hi ! Great video - crystal clear - well-spoken My issue with liver is when I eat cooked liver, no matter how it's prepared, when I chew the consistency is like chalk and the taste is so disgusting my gag reflex kicks in. EVERY TIME. I've tried beef, chicken, and every other liver out there - gag time every time. Therefore since oysters are the 2nd more nutrient rich and I do not care for oysters nor would I want to load up on shellfish, what other types of fish, meat, poultry, whole grain cereals, beans, lentils - any veggie or fruit - I love them all, what is also a good source for me to get an equivalate liver-dose without the liver 🙂 ? Many thanks !!!
I cut it when semi frozen from into tiny chunks. Take a mouthful of water with apple cider vinegar and then put a pile of the thawed chunks on a spoon and swallow it whole. Goes down smoothly and no taste
My mother used to cook a variety of foods including cow's liver. I like liver. Liver is good for the body. It cleans the system when eaten in a regular basis. The funny thing is that the body "knows" what it needs, there are foods that sit well and others that do not.
Yep, I’ve learned from my mom and grandma too. They knew what our bodies needed. Years ago my doc told me to follow low fat diet because of my cholesterol, so I did and my cholesterol didn’t change so they wanted to put me on statins, to which I said No. I’ve been eating mostly fruits, vegetables and chicken. This diet started to erode my gastric system to the point that I developed IBS and could only tolerate certain fruits and veggies. So, after doing some research on YT and remembering my mom’s and grandma’s cooking I figured I had nothing to lose and started eating variety of meats, reduced amounts of fruits and veggies and finally have been doing better, and guess what? My cholesterol went down! I was in shock myself. My good cholesterol shot up and all other numbers went down. I’m going to have it rechecked again just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke😉
The ragweed (allergy) season is almost over, ate liver 1-2 times/week combined with lemon juice (hence your videos on allergies - stomach acid , b vitamins) and I was almost symptomless throughout the season. Found out about homocysteines, and now I'm waiting for my blood test on it (if levels are higher, than it means I still deficient in these nutrients, and so I might say goodbye to my allergy) Thanks again Doc.
B12 and homocysteine have an indirect, but inverse relationship..like a swing.. When B12 is high(over 1500) homocysteine shuffles down to a healthy level. Eating liver, green salad, and taking 5mg methylcobalamin Daily will very probably get your homocysteine down. High homocysteine promotes atherosclerosis in a very big way.
This is the way Turks..Greeks..Albanians cooks liver Breaded and pan fried then lemon juice top of them consume with choice of salad. Albanian liver is famous and delicious!! 🇬🇧
@@daddy1571 Thank you Brother for your kind reply and family information Yes the way your family cooked and consumed so far so nice I bet they are as strong as lion's Guess what you made me feel hungry now...I'm on my way to my local supermarket to get some livers 😄
Whats a few different vitamins that you recommend that has what we need in the correct form? I did watch the video and you did recommend some brands but not any particular ones. Thanks for any advice.
I found out that I had MTHFR about ten years ago. I am hetero for both of the mutations. I am surprised most doctors don't know about this. I started eating clean and non gmo , mostly organic as much as possible..even with makeup lotions and such going as clean as possible...when I do eat anything enriched..it hurts my head...the fake folic acid gets into your blood brain barrier and is really bad for people with these genetic mutations...my mother would cook liver when I was little...I'm going to try and start eating it again...its do hard because a lot of people do not take in their nutrients and can not assimilate their food so well...I take enzymes to help that..but much thanks Dr. B I watch many of your vids and really appreciate your wealth of knowledge! Thank so much for sharing !
As a child our Grandmother from Puerto Rico would give us stewed liver. She would slice it in long thin pieces and cook with tomato or spaghetti sauce, with sliced onions and green peppers with “sofrito” with white rice. We ate this two to three times a month and I still eat it. Everyone that ate it was fooled, they never knew they were eating liver. I eat it twice a month and my kids love it but won’t eat liver from others😂
@@sucrecalderon my kids actually thought they were eating beef strips. Some folks cooked liver differently and they didn’t like the smell or taste 😆 We lied to them a lot about what they were eating as kids 😆 Thankfully they ate everything cooked, weird lil kids never like junk food like chicken nuggets
@@NYCGAL328 i tried with flour and body accepted more ,,,its nice that your kids learned fresh,healthy food at home ,,,nowadays i see everywhere stressed parents about food,drinks and adventure for kids,,,short version get sweets,cola,McDonalds and Smartphone to stay calm
After having many vitamin deficiencies for YEARS, even though I was taking Vitamins and extra iron, and also having issues with no mental health meds helping me at all, my new psychiatrist ordered the test for the MTHFR genetic mutation and my test came back positive for 3 different issues to do with malabsorption. So even though I was taking all these meds and vitamins (that contained folate) my body doesn't break down the folate into methylfolate which is what the liver needs (not in folate form) so I've been just wasting years and money. I've started methylfolate with my vitamins (making sure none of them include folate, which can be hard to find!) and I see my psychiatrist next week to find out which meds might work better in my case now that we have this new information. Also, I used to LOVE liver as a kid and teenager, but the last time I tried it I gagged every bite. 😥
Thank you so much Dr Berg fir your excellent delivery of information that will actually make a huge difference to our health. You are so generous with your knowledge. I have studied nutritional therapy and your explanations are so fantastic. V grateful. I have started buying your supplements and they are top quality. I love the way you don’t push them at all, you still give info regardless. Your work is very much appreciated ✨
Did anyone else read that as the motherfu... never-mind, I'm so immature! Thanks for another great video Dr Berg! I wish it wasn't so difficult to get beef/ox liver in Scotland, the only liver available in stores is pig & lamb. Even my local butchers do not stock it, I have to go way out to the countryside to get it.
This is life changing. I have been incorporating Bragg’s nutritional yeast - based on another blogger’s advice only to learn here, it has synthetic folate AND B12. Thanks doc!
Interesting video. I would have liked to hear more details about the type of liver that you would prescribe. Any particular animal, how regularly? Once a week once a month or daily???
Since I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia..i have eaten liver every day 50 GM's for the past 6 months and my haemoglobin level is upto 13.. and surprisingly my cholesterol levels have not gone up
My digestion is not good..due to overuse of antibiotics.. if i eat any vitamin or tablets.. i develop loose motion and it does not get vitamins do not get absorbed..so only
If your iron is up then I would stop eating liver and switch to meat. Liver has lots of vitamins and minerals our bodies need but eating it every day isn’t so healthy. You may develop other problems, ie. Vitamin A overdose. It should be eaten maybe once a week if that.
@@krissto22 it's true..but i had hysterectomy surgery on August 17 and had blood loss..my iron is up but still lot of room for improvement so i may eat for another three months and check again..
I have that gene. I found out when I had my DNA for health done. I eat liver, make pate, put it in my burgers, and recently made liver jerky. Italians are 70% likely to have MTHFR. Except in Italy where they eat much better than Americans. Europeans have about 30% of this mutation. Being of Italian ancestry I have learned to eat better and supplement.
I do t eat liver often but will now. Something I really like as far as organs are concerned is beef kidney, lung, and brain. I'd like to see you talk about that.
Just don't overcook it... I quickly sear mine on all surfaces and then put chopped toms, onions & mushrooms in the pan, followed by a stock or gravy... then slow cook it for tenderness. I like it with navy beans.. I usually consume lambs liver as its not as strong-tasting... 😎👍☘🍺
Similar to my live recipe I Don even sear it. I just use water and the flavour of liver makes a gravey. I add bacon grilled if you like. Better added to seap out n mix its flavour into gravey. Onions, garlic, pepper, pinch salt. I add home dried crushed hot chillies. To your taste. Serve with a creamy mashed potatoes, dash cream and butter.
I eat 3-4 oz of raw liver before every workout with a bit of sea salt. Definitely noticed an increase in energy. It's basically the perfect multivitamin that is also the cheapest/most efficient.
We found out just over a year or 2 ago that our daughter has this MTHFR gene mutation. I would tend to think I have it too, symptoms match so well. Thank you for sharing this and offering help, the doctors didn't tell us much of anything only confirmed she had it.
Yea the medical system SUX!! I just had my MTHFR gene tested and even my Naturopath is being shady by only giving me one snippet of info from my testing at a time. I want it in its entirety, but yet he wants to order expensive supplements and wait a month and see how my symptoms improve… Yea don’t think so! 😒
Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride has the treatment for anything really laid out in her GAPS books. It’s a long of hard work and a long road, in some cases 2 years + but to me SO well worth it! I have started the GAPS protocol and will be on it for probably 2 years if not longer. The younger you are the faster you will probably heal. I’m 42 and have had weird symptoms and issues practically my whole life. So I’m sure it’s going to take my body a lot of time to heal. Hope this helps someone! Please look into her books. Another one is a GAPS stage by stage recipe book by Becky Plotner to help with meal ideas while doing the introduction stages especially. ❤️
My great-grandfather was diagnosed with terminal "low iron" issues in his 50s and told he had months to live. He ate a small piece of liver every day and lived to over 100.
Cooked or raw?
@@chelsbolinI know some people it eat raw with a coat of honey. I usually eat it cooked.
@@dani23dani85 thank you
Amazing
Does it digest properly if i just swallow it raw without chewing ?
I have this gene and after a number of early miscarriages and not being able to fall pregnant .. a month and a bit taking Organic grass fed beef liver tablets and I fell pregnant I'm currently 37 weeks! 🥰
Who cares
Congratulations!!
Congratulations. God bless
Awesome

Eating liver makes me feel alive again. I feel like I’ve been in the sunken place for so long and I’m back to life. ✨✨✨
This is my current place. A slippery slope to depression. Thank you for this comment. This is my hope ❤
You may need more protein...the older you get the more protein you need. Read "The Search for the Perfect Protein " you can find it free online. There's MANY dis-eases associated with low protein intake. If you're like me and have tried a bazillion different remedies and they only help temporarily- the one thing that has helped me immensely is increasing my protein intake- quality protein!
I find it funny that some people think that liver has toxins but are okay with eating hotdogs and sausages that aren't good for you.
Hotdogs and sausages aren’t promoted as a health food - doesn’t mean livers healthy
Afrika Smith that is only a myth. Never been proven
Hot dogs taste way better than liver,
That’s one good reason
Broke
Do you go for taste or health🤷🏼♀️🤣
A 110 year old woman in my area was asked what she eats that may be the cause of her longevity. She mentioned, Liver meat, dwarf unripe plantain and ukpaka ( fermented African oil bean seed)
Liver is healthy but IDK about the dwarf urine
My grandmother passed of COVID at 96 was other wise healthy she ate organs but also loved her food greasy as hell salty as hell sweet as hell , cooked for taste not healthy but what probably helped her was coming up with home raised food not relying on grocery stores till the later years

6 months ago I watched this video. Starting eating liver twice a week. Ive noticed my energy is much better, my skin glows, even my bedroom performance has skyrocketed. I dont understand everything Dr. Berg says, but Im convinced. Liver is transformative!
😂
What kinda liver u eat
How’s your mental health?
You perform in the bedroom!!??? Where can I buy tickets 🎟 to this show!?? 😅😂😂😂
Oh interesting, I love liver but my husband refuses. Are you male or female? I’m just wondering because obviously my husband is male lol
Liver is great for anemia. Fried fresh liver in brown gravy with browned onions & garlic; then served with mashed potatoes. Hated liver as a child but Mom's policy of 2 bites of new foods eventually led to liking it over time.
J P marinate the liver for a few hours in lemon juice and garlic before cooking. Tastes even better!
Smart mom.💞
..I know for most this sounds weird...but that combo sounds so tasty.😋😋
Yummy
That sounds soooo good! My mom made it pretty often as I was growing up. After watching this video, I went and bought some. I thought I’d make mashed potatoes and sauté onions and a veggie side this weekend 😋
My life is improving all because of you God bless you for me 🙏🙏🙏
At age 24 I was diagnosed with stage 3 C ovarian cancer. No family history. I’ve had genetic testing done as I was worried for my children one day. I don’t carry the gene, but it came back with Gene Mutation MTHFR. I find these gene effect me more as I got older. Funny enough I love liver 😂 I know when im low as I crave liver! I’ve stopped drinking alcohol! Makes me feel so yuk next day. Thank you 🙏🏼 Dr. Berg, I love watching your videos ❤
WOW!!! I was diagnosed with MTHFR gene Mutation back in 2016 after multiple mid term miscarriages after having 4 healthy pregnancies. I have both Homozygous and Heterozygous genes so I am susceptible to most things that you listed here. I have been suffering from depression, Anxiety and panic attacks for last 8yrs+. I eat healthy as I am a former IIN student, however I suffer from many inflammatory illnesses. I take Vitamin D with K2, methylfolate, B12 and a host of other supplements to help, however I haven't really noticed a decrease in any of my symptoms. I suffer with low heme iron as well and never realized that it was a symptom of MTHFR. This video and information comes to me at a time in my life where I am determined to live healthy and heal no matter what it takes. I truly appreciate all of this information, you are God sent.
It would be awesome if you could update us when you have had time to understand the effects of addicting liver to your diet. Thanks in advance.
Yes it does. It makes a world of a difference knowing what is going on.
Maybe unrelated but do women need to avoid excess vitamin A during pregnancy?
@@bbedeschi that’s what i’ve heard too
Why take supplements? Its just a other word for medicine. And who are taking medicines? Sick people. Only eat very nutrients rich foods like liver and oysters and drink kefir and raw milk . Raw butter etc.
My dad's liver recipe:
"Bring the pan to FULL heat, greased with butter ghee.
Put the chopped liver into the frying pan and cover with a lid (occasionally turning the liver)
When the meat is cooked through, turn the heat off and cover in chopped raw onion (one large cooking onion)
Throw in some dried parsley, oregano, lemon juice, salt and olive oil
Leave the pan lid on top and let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the onion to pull the pungent taste from the liver"
Thanks for sharing , I’ll give it a go
thanks will try this method 👍
I do the same but never tried lemon juice. Will give it a go
Does the onion also pull all the vitamins with it, so now we have to eat pungent onion to benefit ?
Sounds yummy! I have to make it this weekend!
This is so helpful 😩 My mom has this problem and so did my grandma and aunt, so there’s a pretty solid chance that i have it too. My mom tried to explain all of this to me as a teen but it was a bunch science that went WAY over my head. Thanks for breaking it down! Just cooked my first batch or chicken liver today! Here’s to a healthy future 💪🏼
Very welcome, so glad the data is helpful! Keep it up!
In France where I live, it is as expensive as the best meat.The French love it and consume it frequently. I cook it with Dijon moutarde and a little bit of white wine. Also with onions. Or with bacon. If you don't like it is because you haven't found the right recipe for you.
In Spain liver is very cheap, around 7 euros a kilo, because people don't eat it anymore... Learn to cook it and enjoy!
@@cyberfunk3793
Not getting enough attention, are we...?
Your arrogant ignorance is beyond astounding - and so is the misinformation You're spreading...
@@ViolenTech oh wow do you say that a lot? also, while i am no medical expert, Dr. Berg himself recommends grass finished liver for a reason, because while the liver indeed doesn't store toxins, it does filter them, and if you remove the liver while it is filtering toxins, then if i'm not mistaken, that will be included in the liver.
@@ImHeadshotSniper You guessed wrong.
@@__Paul__ so the liver doesn't filter toxins?
where do any possible toxins go if you remove the liver while it is filtering them? i'm pretty sure this is a simple conservation of mass physics question lol
In France they eat pork liver pate right?
Dr. Berg, I love your videos and you are so beyond helpful. I have autoimmune disease and my health was at an all time low for years and years, I thought I was literally going to die. I have put a lot of focus into nutrition and although a lot of people would probably call me obsessive I feel better now than I have since I was a kid. Your videos have helped a lot because I have learned so much from you and you give me hope that I have control over my own health through the things I eat. You've given me more hope that I don't have to be sick and miserable because there are things I can do about it and heal my body. Thank you!
you sound like me
Check out Dr Sebi hope it helps
I "feel" you! Been at what felt like death's door many times over the past 20 years.
Wish I'd found Berg a decade ago... it was not for lack of looking, research & finding alternative medical professionals.
I've learned more in 3 weeks putting the pieces together than I could in 15 years on my own.
Also found my MD naturopath has been omitting key nutrients. Just putting out fires for 7+ years.
Keep it up. Block all the noises
I'm feeling I'm going to die I'm so scared I feels my entire body on fire my eyes too my everything please help some body when I go to my doctor and I get complex shot I feel better in 20 mins time but he do not give me an entire b12 he mix it with other stuff so I feel bk sick in 1 wk time
I tried liver yesterday for the first time in years, hated it. Calves liver!!! What a difference, mild flavor, very tender. Fried in olive oil with sweet yellow onions 😊
Nice. Liver smells so bad, but i can how veal liver would taste mild!
Thank you Dr. Berg. When I was young my mother had hypoglacemia/low blood sugar and other issues and she would eat liver & onions at least once a week, not only did that seem to cure these issues her eyesight hugely improved. Liver used to be so easy to find, it was a usual part of the weekly meals we had as a kid. Wow how things have changed!
Eat my fart. It’s low carb
Was it cooked liver or raw?
From what kind of animal was the liver that she ate?
Such good info! For the last 3 or 4 years, I have been buying grass-fed ground beef from a ranch that offers an option of having 15% organs added to it. That is how I have been getting my organ meat. It
took a bit of getting used to because I was not crazy about the taste, but now I actually really like it. I will definitely appreciate even more my organ meat after hearing your presentation. Thanks Dr B.
If I may ask do they have website or an online store?

I've watched your channel for years, you always seem to have a wonderful organic solution to the problem presented. Personally I appreciate the in depth knowledge you provide as well so that I no longer need to research the subject, makes things much easier when trying to lengthen one's life as much as possible.
I used to eat liver a bit more often in the past, thanks to you and I already see a difference, I don't get dizzy that easily.
My husband has known the benefits of liver for a long time, and used to beg me to cook it, but I could never stand the smell or taste. So sadly we've had major deficiencies in our diet. Recently I learned about soaking liver in milk for about an hour before cooking. Amazingly that removes much of the smell so I'm able to cook it and make my hubby happy.
Here in South India, liver is quite tasty, and has no bad smell, cause of thr way its cooked.
Just check videos on RUclips, you may want to search "liver fry gowda style' or 'liver fry hyderabadi style'. Find one in English and try it out. Hope u like it.
You can also try kefir or wine instead of milk
eat it raw. It sounds gross, but it has almost no taste. Cut it into small bites, it's not even tough to chew.
I usually used ginger
Check out trubeeforganic. They have an ancestral ground beef blend that has 10% liver as well as kidney mixed in with the beef. It hides most of the taste and is much easier to eat than straight liver. It’s really helped my diet.
A tip when you prepare liver: Cut it up when it is still mostly frozen. Cutting up fully defrosted liver is a "bloody mess".
Use kitchen meat scissors.
I agree totally
I could cry!!!!!!! 😭😭😭 THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video Dr. Berg!!!! You answered my question!!!!! My whole family has this gene mutation and SO many of those symptoms. I had no idea beef liver could help us. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Most welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
How does one know if they have the mutation or not?
@@Cosmo-Kramer blood test, but make sure you ask your doctor if you have the gene after the test because the doctor didn’t even tell my mom she had to ask him. So now I’m going to ask him if I have it
@@Cosmo-Kramer you have to request the the "MTHFR genetic blood test" be done by your doctor. If you want insurance to pay for it, the doctor will probably ask you why you want it to be done. You can of course list the many many reasons this gene makes a difference to your health and how you need to altar your intake of various nutrients, and that you suspect you have this issue. And this may be enough to substantiate why the test is necessary (so that your insurance will pay for it). We have all been tested. And I'm SO glad we were! And yes, ALWAYS ask for your test results or they may not even tell you!
@@Samson-dn4eo Thanks.
Try this. My favorite is chicken liver adobo (Filipino food). You just need a little oil for sauteing, lots of garlic, bayleafs, crush pepper corns, soy sauce and vinegar. Simple and easy to cook but its super delicious. Don't forget to top it in the rice. Yah it's good for your health. Thank you Doc Eric.

Dr Berg is brilliant, the message is so easy to understand and he does it with a great sense of humour
Dr. Berg, I love eating liver even though people criticize me 'hey how can you eat that, so gross!'. I eat it once or twice a month.

Dr. Berg, Thank you so much for helping us to better understand how to improve our lives in a healthier way. We know that you must be extremely busy, but we would like you to please start a new video series, perhaps called, "what I eat in a day" or " what I keto in a day", where you will basically show us what you eat, drink, and what kind of supplements/vitamins you take during a day. If possible, make the video series for at least 30 days, it doesn't have to be consecutive but at least we would like to see one whole month of videos in total. We all would like to get a better idea of what exactly is in your daily diet. Thanks, from Japan.

Dear weekly once is enough.Because it contains high amount of vitamin A (nearly 80000iu /100g). Vitamin A toxicity is life threatening.
I have MTHFR - compound heterozygous - one faulty gene from both parents. Didn't notice it until later in life then the gene 'switched on' and suddenly my whole life changed. When I eat chicken liver I feel normal - like I used to feel before MTHFR - lots of energy, almost no inflammation and a clear head. My liver loves it when I eat liver because the nutrients are instantly accessible. Good advice about stopping supplements - don't take them all the time, that's why they're called supplements - they supplement your diet. The body has to work hard to break them down and the stomach lining has to be in good shape too. People with MTHFR - focus on eating organic food, reduce chemicals in your environment and detox as much as possible. Stay away from heavy metals - that's in most fish. Green tea seems to help and hemp oil is good too. Sweat out the toxins if you can or dry brush the skin, epsom salt baths and keep the stress down.

My daughter HATES liver! She is in an assisted living facility for heart problems andvdiabetes.
Zero nutritious foods! I buy her organic when possible, also pre cook some freezer meats ie stews, casseroles, packets of meats she incorporates into other meals. These are portioned freezer meals.
Point here is …. grass fed ground bf. and frozen organic liver. (She has no clue!) Frozen liver chops up into little bitty pieces. Toss liver onions, garlic beef, (green peppers if you wish ) into skillet…brown . When cool…bag it for freezer.
She loves it! I’ve never told her liver was in it….think it would gag her.
I know many of the healthy improvement she’s experienced over last two years has been due to addition of more nutritious foods. Thanks Dr. BERG for confirming.❤️
And for all you liver haters out there……….this really works. The addition of 1-2 slices of an organic bacon will absolutely camouflage any liver flavor.
I have slowly started adding liver into my diet. I buy grass fed meat from a place in Texas and they sell an ancestral blend (ground beef, liver, heart) which I make into a meatloaf and braunschweiger which I pan fry with eggs. It's a slow start but I'll try to eat it more often. Thanks for all the info you provide to help us stay healthy naturally.
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION. I Love liver, eat it at least 4/14 meals a week on average. In our family when we eat chicken ( our own free range) we always give and encourage the young ones to eat liver. We are simple rural folks don't know much about nutrition... I guess the elders learned by observations.
Checking off all these boxes ✅☹️ This has been the most thorough and helpful video on MTHR mutation I’ve seen yet. Thank you, Dr. Berg!
Please cover more on the MTHFR, this is amazing! Thank you so much!
Dr. Berg, please make a video on genetic differences between Asian, Africans & Caucasian on carbs, meat & dairy metabolism. I’ve came across some med journals that mentioned about this. Thanks!
Yes, I think this would interest many. For instance, apparently some people have up to 15 copies of the amylase gene for digesting starch, whereas some only have one.. a HUGE diference in capacity.
The study of race is called racism.
Blood type diet
I consumed beef liver quite often when i was a kid, we are so dawn poor and have nothing to eat. Beef liver is almost for free, no one want to eat it and it's the only thing our parent can afford and feed us, it's actually taste excellent when you add celery. Growing up, my thinking is almost as majority of population that liver is toxic and stop eating them. But thing change from today! Thank you Dr. Berg! Brilliant information as always!
Love the taste and texture of liver . Thanks Eric for all the information you give us . ❤️
Please please please do more videos on MTHFR! I discovered that I have the homozygous c677t MTHFR mutation after struggling my whole life with anxiety, adhd, estrogen dominance/pcos, and most recently in the last few years poor stress tolerance, extreme weight gain, dysautonomia symptoms, debilitating fatigue and now pain issues. I was experiencing nerve, joint and muscle pain and was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I started taking methy-b12 and methyl-folate and my nerve pain disappeared overnight. My cognitive function significantly improved and my overall pain is way less. My mood is way better and my adhd has improved. I’m trying to learn as much as I can about this genetic mutation because it seems to be the key to a lot of functions that impact daily life!
Has all.your pain gone mines in the fascia I believe had OCD from 5 anxiety sure I have this
I have a lot of these same symptoms. The inflammation in my body has triggered Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. I have had to eat a low histamine diet because I am having food sensitivities/ allergies to just about everything I eat. I’m down to being able to eat like 15 foods. My Naturopath has not given me my results in their entirety and only given me one piece of info from my gene testing. He wants to order 1 expensive supplement for me and wait to see how my symptoms do after a month. I’m not convinced and want to know exactly what’s going on so that I can order my own supplements if need be. Can you tell me please if there are any other supplements you’ve had to take other than Folate and B12? Glutathione? Thanks! 😊

My biggest symptoms since acquiring Covid in April 2021 has been MCAS/Histamine intolerance and loss of smell and taste. I drink lots of water and will be buying grass fed/grass finished liver from a local beef farm this weekend! I’m just wondering if there is anything more I should be doing. I think I’m going to start taking a high dose of Vitamin D and Vitamin C. These help with inflammation.
You are a great teacher GOD BLESS YOU!
I don't follow a ketogenic diet but this is another excellent informative video from Dr. Berg. After watching this I ate some lamb's liver yesterday for (I think) the first time in my adult life and it's super energising - will try to have it a couple of times a week.

Dr. Berg,
I love your channel! I buy grass fed, grass finished beef liver from a local farmer. I eat 1.5 oz. a day. I have had my Genome tested and it showed I had an MTHFR gene and a couple other ones. However I am not low in Folate or B12. 🤷🏻♀️
I know that it’s been said that we can turn our Genes off and on. I got C 3 years ago, April 2021 and I’m still suffering. I have done so much research over the past few years that it has brought me to my old root canals and wisdom teeth cavitations are what the root cause is to all my systemic illness. I have so much inflammation in my body, especially my lungs. RANTES in jawbone cavitations can cause all sorts of disease, systemic inflammation and even cancer. I wonder if RANTES could also be at play in turning on Genes?!
Working with a Biological Dentist who will be pulling my root canals and cleaning out my wisdom teeth cavitations. I hope I get my life back after this. 😔
Thank you for your channel! ❤️
Thank you for the comprehensive explanation Dr. Is there any other alternative for vegetarians and vegans?
Dr B you're the real deal! You are truly helping people conquer afflictions in the body; my thyroid in fact! I already eat liver on the regular

As Dr Berg has pointed out before and this video the MTHFR gene is the reason why you shouldn't consume folic acid (regardless of your doctor's recommendation to), because of your body's inability to convert it to folate.
Instead you want to consume folate (the natural version known as methylfolate if you're going to supplement).
Wish I knew this while I was pregnant… my body especially my own liver hasn’t been the same in 3 years 😭
My liver & my bowels feel ruined 😔
@@natashaletourneau5368 take heart! I had a ruined liver also after pregnancy.. Keep following Dr. Berg's advice and be patient and loving with yourself... you can be healthy again. Our bodies are amazing, self-healing masterpieces, when given the right nutrition!

Agreed! Too many “doctors” do not know this or communicate this to their patients.
It’s called Deplin. The food grade Methofolate.
Such great info as always. How often would you recommend eating liver for the benefits? I'm on OMAD and it is a challenge to get enough variety of food.
Good question
I love your videos and have learned so much over the years of watching! I'd love to see a video about COMT and MAO genetics mutations and how to deal with those. 😊👍
Dr Berg, I am so grateful for you. I used to eat liver, as a teenager, because Teen magazine said it did wonders for your hair. I ate it with bacon and onions to make sure I could get it down. To my surprise, I really liked it. Later, in life, I read that liver was toxic so I stopped eating it. I have so much inflammation, in my body now. Lord knows what else I have now that I'm in my 60s. This video is so informative, and provides info on such amazing benefits. Now, I have to learn to make liver myself. Thanks.
It's interesting to see you making this video. I'm Brazilian and eating beef liver is really common there, and it's one of my favorites to the point of craving it specially from my grandma. It's delicious and really healthy. It's really normal for us and we grew up eating it. Hahah God bless you!

Just found out I have the "rarer" form of MTHFR gene mutation. I am 28 years old. I now know why I have been so sick, and it has only increased over the years. I am chronically EXHAUSTED. But finally am on a new supplement regime and diet change, and am seeing improvements after a few weeks.
Hi there, what's the supplements are you on?
Yes I would be interested too. I just had my MTHFR tested and my Naturopath wants to be shady and not give me my results in its entirety. He wants me to take some expensive supplement that ONLY he can order…. Take for a month and see how my symptoms improve. NOT SOLD! And VERY infuriating!! I’ve been dealing with this for too long to still be getting the run around! 😡😔
@leannshort2211 you need to take methylfolate and methyl b12 as well as P5P (B6). Some people may have trouble with methylation and would react negatively to them in which case try folinic acid (not folic) and hydroxy B12
During my childhood goat lever fry is my favourite dish.
I stopped eating lever after I was told that lever contains toxins.

Thanks Dr Eric.
"Fegato alla veneziana" is an excellent receipe for those who don't like it...My Mom cooked it fairly often and it really tastes good with onions and vinegar 😊
My mom did the same but wrapped in bacon. Smells delicious, but I couldn't eat it.
Yes! My Nona used to make me liver like this and I would gobble it up as a kid.! Her liver was the BEST! 🇮🇹
She was from Venice too!
Bless. Dr. Berg. Hope he recovers from his illness soon. Best wishes.
In Australia beef liver is not allowed to be exported any more due to high cadmium content according to the dept of agriculture here (cadmium from superphosphate in the soil and grass)
B12?
Eating organic meats is quite common in Pakistan and liver is on top of the list. Our Naturopaths always prescribe it for curing anaemia. I remember my Mother taking it. It's not very palatable but your information as usual is mind blowing.
A must have on my list.
Thank you Doctor
It was popular everywhere earlier.. unfortunately new generation kids only like boneless tasteless meat which is deep fried .:)
Organ meat is extremely good ..
The food supply chain in Pakistan is one of the worst in the world when it comes to food safety standards. Poor hygiene standards while processing is another story altogether... Livestock is being raised with uncontrolled use of antibiotics and hormones...

In a pan olive oil, onion, liver, rosemary, 1 leaf laurel, salt at the end. One of my favourite foods, we cook it like this in northern italy
and you don't find it disgusting to eat something like that? the simple though of it makes me shudder. Also looking at the picture. Well, I envy you for not feeling like that. :-)
@@dreamraver my daughter eats it, and other organs, raw. I can’t. I cut raw liver into small pieces, freeze it, and swallow them like pills. Otherwise, I fold it as you do.. revolting.
I have an MTHFR mutation, and had sky high estradiol (455), MCAS, many other things. I couldn’t even take methylated b vitamins, they increased my inflammation. I’ve quit taking all formulated vitamins and just take grass fed beef liver. I also went carnivore about 3 months ago so I could only ingest nutrients in all the best forms, with all of the necessary enzymes and co factors. It’s working. I’m sleeping great, for the first time in my life, and feeling much more awake, alert, clear and happy. ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you Dr. Berg
Wow. Very insightful. Thank you so much. This video explains everything that I'm experiencing right now.
You're welcome. Hope this will help you.
It’s the high concentration of copper in liver that makes it amazing. Jason Hommel has great videos on this.
Just cooked liver yesterday! 😋 I keep it stocked in my deep freezer.I was raised on eating beef liver and still love it to this day and now my daughters love it too! We also eat it for iron. But the thing is, I’ve only ate it fried. I season and lightly flour it and fry in light olive oil. Frying may not be the best but It would seem disgusting eating it any other way. Thank you for the video!
I cut the liver in medium size stew-like pieces, dip it in egg then the bread crumbs mixed with little parm cheese. I fry it in a big enough pan with some olive oil so I have room for flipping it over. I keep turning it over until it’s nice and brown but not burned. I found it doesn’t take long to make it this way, it stays softer and it tastes delicious. Once done I’ll take my “liver stew”😀 out and add little more oil to the pan and do my onions. Sometimes I may cook up some mushrooms separately, I guess you could add anything you’d like. I try to make it at least twice a month so in between we may have some liver sausage instead. I know it’s processed, but we don’t eat it too often and I think it’s better than eating some other junk out of a box. Oh, forgot to add, that if I have any leftovers they taste even better the next day. Sometimes I snack on them cold, lol.

Although liver king made a mistake about his steroid use or whatever, at least he did come forward and admitted his mistakes. However he's absolutely right about having liver in your life therefore I will still watch the Liver King and remain a fan. The man inspired me to have liver at least twice a week along with scrambled eggs, sweet potatoes, and beans and a banana. I gotta tell you that combination right there will have you ready to take on the tuffest of days. I feel absolutely amazing ever since I've started eating this meal every week. So much I can tell you how it helps. And it's a cheap low cost meal. Win win win. ( Splash a light spoonful of dale's seasoning and or Worcester sauce on the liver...mmmmm amazing 😍)
Especially being a landscaper down here in Florida that meal every other day is my best friend.
Can you easily find organic liver? Dang I haven't had liver since I was a kid I had no idea it was good for you I always thought it was just this crap that my mother made me eat
Dam dude I'm in daytona I'm a landscaper I Wana try this
I was taking grassfed liver capsules for a few months and loved how i felt. I ran out and didnt reorder. My hair and skin felt dull and dried out and i felt weaker. I realized it was the beef liver so im back on it and feel good again. It is the best form of iron to take.
I caught the 6 pack joke 😝
What kind do you buy?
Enjoyed as much as I learned and that applies to all your clips. My question: how do cod livers compare to the grass feed livestock livers that were the focus in this video?
Good video, but please sort out your noise reduction settings as there clearly is too much applied here which makes the annunciation difficult to understand in certain places.
Thank you Dr. For your hard work to educate us about the best our health. If you don't mind to ask, 500gm is enough or too much in daily basis,
God bless you

Hi ! Great video - crystal clear - well-spoken My issue with liver is when I eat cooked liver, no matter how it's prepared, when I chew the consistency is like chalk and the taste is so disgusting my gag reflex kicks in. EVERY TIME. I've tried beef, chicken, and every other liver out there - gag time every time. Therefore since oysters are the 2nd more nutrient rich and I do not care for oysters nor would I want to load up on shellfish, what other types of fish, meat, poultry, whole grain cereals, beans, lentils - any veggie or fruit - I love them all, what is also a good source for me to get an equivalate liver-dose without the liver 🙂 ? Many thanks !!!
I cut it when semi frozen from into tiny chunks. Take a mouthful of water with apple cider vinegar and then put a pile of the thawed chunks on a spoon and swallow it whole. Goes down smoothly and no taste
That's a great tip ! Thanks !
My mother used to cook a variety of foods including cow's liver. I like liver. Liver is good for the body. It cleans the system when eaten in a regular basis. The funny thing is that the body "knows" what it needs, there are foods that sit well and others that do not.
Yep, I’ve learned from my mom and grandma too. They knew what our bodies needed. Years ago my doc told me to follow low fat diet because of my cholesterol, so I did and my cholesterol didn’t change so they wanted to put me on statins, to which I said No. I’ve been eating mostly fruits, vegetables and chicken. This diet started to erode my gastric system to the point that I developed IBS and could only tolerate certain fruits and veggies. So, after doing some research on YT and remembering my mom’s and grandma’s cooking I figured I had nothing to lose and started eating variety of meats, reduced amounts of fruits and veggies and finally have been doing better, and guess what? My cholesterol went down! I was in shock myself. My good cholesterol shot up and all other numbers went down. I’m going to have it rechecked again just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke😉
The ragweed (allergy) season is almost over, ate liver 1-2 times/week combined with lemon juice (hence your videos on allergies - stomach acid , b vitamins) and I was almost symptomless throughout the season. Found out about homocysteines, and now I'm waiting for my blood test on it (if levels are higher, than it means I still deficient in these nutrients, and so I might say goodbye to my allergy) Thanks again Doc.
B12 and homocysteine have an indirect, but inverse relationship..like a swing..
When B12 is high(over 1500) homocysteine shuffles down to a healthy level. Eating liver, green salad, and taking 5mg methylcobalamin Daily will very probably get your homocysteine down.
High homocysteine promotes atherosclerosis in a very big way.
This is the way Turks..Greeks..Albanians cooks liver
Breaded and pan fried then lemon juice top of them consume with choice of salad.

Whats a few different vitamins that you recommend that has what we need in the correct form? I did watch the video and you did recommend some brands but not any particular ones. Thanks for any advice.
I found out that I had MTHFR about ten years ago. I am hetero for both of the mutations. I am surprised most doctors don't know about this. I started eating clean and non gmo , mostly organic as much as possible..even with makeup lotions and such going as clean as possible...when I do eat anything enriched..it hurts my head...the fake folic acid gets into your blood brain barrier and is really bad for people with these genetic mutations...my mother would cook liver when I was little...I'm going to try and start eating it again...its do hard because a lot of people do not take in their nutrients and can not assimilate their food so well...I take enzymes to help that..but much thanks Dr. B I watch many of your vids and really appreciate your wealth of knowledge! Thank so much for sharing !
Can I ask who you went through to test for this please?
As a child our Grandmother from Puerto Rico would give us stewed liver. She would slice it in long thin pieces and cook with tomato or spaghetti sauce, with sliced onions and green peppers with “sofrito” with white rice. We ate this two to three times a month and I still eat it.
Everyone that ate it was fooled, they never knew they were eating liver.
I eat it twice a month and my kids love it but won’t eat liver from others😂
I think your kids eat only at home cause not everybody can make liver delicious to eat that stomach accept too
@@sucrecalderon my kids actually thought they were eating beef strips.

Incredibly informative video. Thank you so much!,👍
After having many vitamin deficiencies for YEARS, even though I was taking Vitamins and extra iron, and also having issues with no mental health meds helping me at all, my new psychiatrist ordered the test for the MTHFR genetic mutation and my test came back positive for 3 different issues to do with malabsorption. So even though I was taking all these meds and vitamins (that contained folate) my body doesn't break down the folate into methylfolate which is what the liver needs (not in folate form) so I've been just wasting years and money. I've started methylfolate with my vitamins (making sure none of them include folate, which can be hard to find!) and I see my psychiatrist next week to find out which meds might work better in my case now that we have this new information. Also, I used to LOVE liver as a kid and teenager, but the last time I tried it I gagged every bite. 😥
Thank you so much Dr Berg fir your excellent delivery of information that will actually make a huge difference to our health. You are so generous with your knowledge. I have studied nutritional therapy and your explanations are so fantastic. V grateful. I have started buying your supplements and they are top quality. I love the way you don’t push them at all, you still give info regardless. Your work is very much appreciated ✨

Great Post
I was advised to eat liver at least once a week. I feel so much better now. Underdone with onions. Amazing.
Did anyone else read that as the motherfu... never-mind, I'm so immature!
Thanks for another great video Dr Berg! I wish it wasn't so difficult to get beef/ox liver in Scotland, the only liver available in stores is pig & lamb. Even my local butchers do not stock it, I have to go way out to the countryside to get it.
This is life changing. I have been incorporating Bragg’s nutritional yeast - based on another blogger’s advice only to learn here, it has synthetic folate AND B12. Thanks doc!
Interesting video. I would have liked to hear more details about the type of liver that you would prescribe. Any particular animal, how regularly? Once a week once a month or daily???
i have watched from related videos that it should be grass-fed, pastured beef liver. as to the frequency, that is the thing i'd like to know as well 🙂
Since I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia..i have eaten liver every day 50 GM's for the past 6 months and my haemoglobin level is upto 13.. and surprisingly my cholesterol levels have not gone up
My digestion is not good..due to overuse of antibiotics.. if i eat any vitamin or tablets.. i develop loose motion and it does not get vitamins do not get absorbed..so only
If your iron is up then I would stop eating liver and switch to meat. Liver has lots of vitamins and minerals our bodies need but eating it every day isn’t so healthy. You may develop other problems, ie. Vitamin A overdose. It should be eaten maybe once a week if that.
@@krissto22 it's true..but i had hysterectomy surgery on August 17 and had blood loss..my iron is up but still lot of room for improvement so i may eat for another three months and check again..
I have that gene. I found out when I had my DNA for health done. I eat liver, make pate, put it in my burgers, and recently made liver jerky. Italians are 70% likely to have MTHFR. Except in Italy where they eat much better than Americans. Europeans have about 30% of this mutation. Being of Italian ancestry I have learned to eat better and supplement.
I also am of Sicilian/Italian descent and have one copy of the gene I found out
I do t eat liver often but will now. Something I really like as far as organs are concerned is beef kidney, lung, and brain. I'd like to see you talk about that.

I have started the GAPS protocol and will be on it for probably 2 years if not longer. The younger you are the faster you will probably heal. I’m 42 and have had weird symptoms and issues practically my whole life. So I’m sure it’s going to take my body a lot of time to heal. Hope this helps someone! Please look into her books.
