Let’s talk about arthritis. There is an interesting cause of arthritis that not many people know about. This hidden cause of arthritis is iron overload.
Our bodies don’t have a mechanism to get rid of excess iron, and too much iron in the body is toxic. One of the first symptoms of iron overload is arthritis in the hands and knees.
Other symptoms of iron overload:
• Fatigue
• Abdominal pain
• Bronze skin
• Liver cirrhosis
• Diabetes
• Erectile dysfunction
• Hypogonadism
• Increased infection
Excess iron is especially toxic to the liver, pancreas, and heart. The more the liver is damaged, the more problems you’ll have with iron.
Top causes of iron overload:
• Taking Tylenol
• Consuming a high-carb diet
• Consuming molasses
• Taking multivitamins
• Consuming too much red meat and not enough vegetables
• Consuming red meat with sugar or starches
Understanding what to do with your diet is crucial if you have iron overload. If you have this problem, you don’t want to start adding more iron to your diet. Fiber can help reduce iron overload. Consuming red meat with vegetables high in fiber may be beneficial.
Remedies for iron overload:
• Phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphate IP6)
• Green tea
• Cilantro
• Quercetin
Donating blood can be beneficial for iron overload. Doing what you can to improve your liver is also very important. To learn more about how to improve your liver function, check out my other videos.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps increase your awareness of the hidden cause of arthritis. I’ll see you in the next video.
Being student of nutrition and food sciences I just wanna say we want a teacher like you love from 🇵🇰 Pakistan.❤️
Glad to be an inspiration.
We need more people like you too. 😊
I stopped using cast iron pans a few years ago after reading an article how the iron leaches into the food you cook and accumulates in your system. It mentioned how the older we get the harder it is for the iron to leave your body while for the younger generation it gets eliminated much quicker. I don't want or need extra iron in my senior years I get enough from food. Thank you, Dr. Berg for your informative videos.
I had inflamation also with my joints,i am avoiding dairy,wheat,sugar..no more joint pain/ inflamation
After 40 years of carpentry, my hands and knees were shot, but I started keto and IF four years ago TODAY and the arthritis I HAD in both areas is completely gone! Ten years ago, when I retired, I could barely grasp a cup of coffee and if I kneeled down, I'd have to pull myself up on an end table or whatever. All that inflammation is gone now and it's truly unbelievable! Thanks a lot to Dr. Berg!
Look up Wim Hof and do what he says.
Just amazing
@@steorswe YOu need to look up Wim Hof too.
Tell me how that works I've tried everything to ease my joints pain but it's no use
@@carmen_sandiego000 Well, I cut out all sugar and carbs and followed Dr. Berg's keto videos along with intermittent fasting.
That's all I know. It's relieved all the inflammation that causes the joint pain.
Dr. Berg! I have been dealing with pain since 2021. I couldn’t open a bottle of water and had constant pain walking, sitting, standing and sleeping! I’ve had X-rays, MRI’s and physical therapy for my knees and nothing helped. I came across this video and was reminded that I had started taking the One a Day multivitamins for women in 2021. Since before then my blood work always showed slight iron deficiency/anemia. But since taking the multivitamin my last 3 blood tests showed that my levels were normal. (I only eat red meat a few times a year) However, when I was iron deficient I never had knee pain or pain in my hands. Long story long, I stopped taking the One a Day multivitamin a week and a half ago, started drinking more green tea and I AM SO MIND BLOWN!! Within a few days my symptoms improved drastically! Before, I wasn’t able to use any cardio machines and for the first time in over 6 months I could walk on a treadmill. I feel so blessed to have come across this information and I am forever grateful!!! Thank you for sharing.
❤🙏
Same. Matcha tea with almond milk helped.
Whenever i stop taking meats and eggs my both knee pains go away i squat in the gym I take beans and lugumes for my protein sources plz share more info and diet plan plz plz i have to sort things out
Dr. Berg - you forgot to mention getting your Ferritin checked. I have Hemochromatosis. I was diagnosed 4 years ago at age 57. My Ferritin at that time was 4580. Yes, that’s correct. I was experiencing night sweats and leg cramps every single night. I had a liver biopsy performed (you’re awake during this) and they found that Iron had caused Fibrosis in my liver. At around the same time they diagnosed me with a severe fatty liver. I was 321lbs at 5’11” and had a waist that was 60” around. I was eating vegetarian and consuming a lot of carbs. I immediately went Keto and I have lost 150lbs. I’m now 171lbs. I have gone through dozens of phlebotomy treatments where they take a pint of blood out of you - first it was weekly, the monthly, and now quarterly. I will require phlebotomy treatments for the rest of my life. My waist is now 34”. Back in April I had Open Heart Surgery to replace a congenitally defective aortic valve that I didn’t know I had until my Blood Pressure went down to 90/40 back in December of 2021. That’s a story for another day. But, I listen to Dr. Berg every morning and just love his products.
I also have it- and if you think 4580 ferritin was high, try 14,000. Got it down after a year of weekly phlebotomies.
What an eye opener, never thought I may have an Iron overload. I was diagnosed with arthritis in one knee, but I loss weight and changed my diet to more non inflammatory foods. The pain is gone. This is good info...
Hello, Dr Berg. I've lost 150 lbs over the course of one year using your advice when I was in high school. I'm now 30 years old and I'm doing all the same things because I know this works. I've been drinking the kale blueberry smoothie for breakfast, pickles for snacks when I can't make it to the next meal, and a large salad with a piece of chicken breast for dinner. I drink mineral water with my meal and purified bottled water when exercising. For exercise I'm walking my dog 1-2 hours a day after stretching and doing some indoor workouts like crunches and pushups. I'm at the stage where my clothes is starting to fit loosely but no serious weight loss yet, but I feel great!
If your clothes are fitting loosely but you have not lost any weight. More than likely you are losing inches. Inches can be more important than losing pounds. I had to learn that myself. Keep going Louie, don't stop. Good Luck !!!
150 pounds in one year?
@@Lbf5677 Yes, but I did it exactly how Dr. Berg explains. I was doing keto with intermittent fasting that eventually got down to OMAD plus intense daily exercise and it takes an extreme toll on your body. It's very important to consume a lot of greens and electrolytes. It starts very slow and snowballs exponentially once your body stops running on sugar and your liver health improves since the liver is connected to so many systems in the body.
Louie, please remember, if your clothes are starting to feel loose, you're toning and may be gaining muscle weight, which weighs more than fat. Don't quit, keep going. I'm so proud of you!!!!
keep doing what you’re doing.
do not be concerned about your weight.
do no weigh yourself. throw your scale in the trash. keep doing what you’re doing.
your body will adjust as time passes, and you won’t notice until one day you’ll look in the mirror and you’ll be tone, and muscular…..then a great big smile will form on your face, and it will stay there for the rest of your life. every once in a while someone will like you know just how good you look.
you will not notice the improvements because you’ll feel so good. the things that troubled you in the past will disappear and you’ll forget that those things even existed. oh yah, i used to get headaches, or i had sinus problems, things like that.
the benefits are so worth it, that it’s worth dedicating yourself to this lifestyle.
people that fail are the people that fail to stay the course. this is your life, not just a diet. this is how you live. it’s how you roll.
this is you. keep on, and don’t look back.
chronic illness is no way to live, so enjoy looking, and feeling great !
Good Morning , Dr.Berg 🌞
I am been suffering with Arthritis for the past 40 years , Thank you so much sharing this Excellent information with us , Have a wonderful weekend.
🙏 6 / 3 / 2022 🙏
I did actually have a slight arthritis in my hand and feet years ago, but eventually gone when I started on Keto, another reason to thank Dr Berg 😊
True ! It happened to me too.
@@ydatoribio I'm hoping it will happen for me - 7 months doing Keto and my fingers and left knee are still very swollen and painful.
@@carrie402 must be something you're eating has hidden sugars that aggravate the pain.Look into the labels of the foods you've got at home.
@@carrie402 took a little while for me as well. UNTIL, I started ketovore with fasting. Intermittent and extended fasts 24 hours and up to 72 hours. TAKE YOUR ELECTOLYTES! Best of luck! And I only do extended fasts every few months.
@@carrie402 By the way, before keto: I noticed that every time I've been to a fast food chain with my hubby & the kids, I would suffer the next day from horrific joint pain. Be aware of fast food, the kind of bread they use triggers that pain.
I have bad arthritis in the distal joint of one of my fingers. I started Keto following Dr. berg’s advice less than a week ago am already down almost 6 pounds and was shocked that today was the first day in at least a year that it hasn’t hurt. I’m sold!
Thank you so much Dr Berg. I have been asking for this video. 👏 👏
You're giving best clinical knowledge... thanks again 🎗
Dr berg.. i love your videos. God bless you.. 😇
I needed to see this 35 years ago. After two knee replacements fortunately I am not having symptoms in other joints.
I needed this. My hand started a couple of weeks ago. Just turned 70 yo. Knees are great. Just my hand. Comes and goes. Thank you so much.
Glad to help!
I have genetic hemochromatosis. Diagnosed in 2018. Regular phlebotomy and keto/low carb eating plan has lowered my ferritin to regular levels. Actually, I had to pull back on phlebotomy because my ferritin was too low. Thank you for sharing this! I also have Sarcoidosis, thankfully in remission. Perhaps a video on it?
Thank you Dr for bringing this to the forefront. My father's family the women some of them have tested positive to hemochromatosis. As a nurse I was tested 30 years ago to see if I was a carrier of it and happy to report I am not. Love your content you're an amazing wealth of knowledge.
I carry a copy of the gene but I don't have it. I have severe anemia due to early release of red blood cells. When I was pregnant with my eldest daughter who has Hemotomachrosis I had a very hard time keeping my iron up. 3 different supplements. When she was born early they tested her in thr NICU. My twin sister has it too.
Thanks for the information
Wow Awesome information
Thank you
thank you DrBerg for the advice
This Doc Rocks!
Valuable information 🙏🙏🙏
Dr Berg is amazing! Thank you for videos...I have learned so much! God Bless 🙏
Happy to know that you found the information useful.
I wish you live 500 years doctor. You have changed my life ❤
Very informative 👏 I always feel anxiety during each video because who knows what's really going on in my body specifically... 🙃 it's over whelming.
This video reminded me that I had symptoms of arthritis several months ago. I don't anymore. I would attribute that to fasting and eating more vegetables. Thanks.
Plethora of knowledge , love this !! So informative!! Happy Friday to everyone !!😊
Glad you like the video.
I had both arthritus, and art'left'is. Started about 20 years ago. Main attributer was poor dietary habits. I changed to a wholesome balanced intake, moderate exercise, devil's club(MSM), and a good helping of Dr. Berg's videos. No arthritic pain now or inflammation. Unfortunately due to previous poor bodily self care, some problems I have are a tad late to resolve, but I can reduce. Thank you Dr.Berg for your inspirations! LIKE
🤣🤣🤣🤣 art'left'is..... you're awesome!!!! Too funny, very clever.... 💕
MSM is a game changer
@@billmoyer3254 In a negative or positive way? I'm asking because I heard the worst about it
Thank you!!🙏Dr.Berg You Really are the Best and a Big Blessing in are lives😊😊 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤
Thank you Dr.
Good morning, Doc.
Can you make video on Psoriatic arthritis Dr.Berg
Dr. Berg, I bought Boron, and I have never had such relief from my arthritis. Thank you 🙏!!!!!!
Hi, what kind of boron you did buy and where from?
5:27 buy curcumin capsule and omega3 fish oi very effective compare to antibiotic
Thank you so much 💓 love you
Your So Right Dr. Berg ! I started to watch this because of a family member with Knee issues, but as soon as you said the Knuckles with pain is caused by to much iron , you RIGHT, that's exactly what I did, I recently increased my iron, almost double the amount from food and supplements, was blaming my job for the pain. Now I know ,Thanks for great info.
Dr. Berg! I have been following you for 7+ months. I have never seen a presentation about bladder infections. Do you have one?
Hi doctor/ first all thanks a lot for great work much appreciated.
I am 47 I am recovering from opioid addiction over 20 years but I always done sports over last 30 years/ about 3 months ago I got neck injuries and later on all my joints are started .aching all in same time.I admit I did have lots of protein powder with cake and lots of bad diets over the years 😢
Thank you for this message
Glad to help.
I learn a lot as someone who do sport and general well-being all this knowledge that for free that’s amazing . Thanks doc
I started taking collagen and msm for hip pain and tmj and it works very well especially if taken consistently
Dr Berg ! Omg! I was waiting for you to mention this health problem! I just start dealing with so much pain ! Sometimes I can’t bend my fingers , or even walk! I always thank you for helping lots of people out ! God bless you Doc !
It's my pleasure! Happy to know you found the post useful.
Dr berg!! So much info & yet no drastic solutions.
Happy to know that you found the information useful. Thanks for watching!
Well, as a vegetarian for more than fifty years, my iron has always been on the low side. In fact, in the past year it reached such a low point that I needed an infusion supported by B12 injections. However, I have inherited osteoarthritis from the women on both sides of my family. My hands, knees and toes have been getting inflamed and ugly over the past ten years or so. In short, for me the problem is not iron
Thank U Doc. Berg for a much more Good Information on ur Video.👍❤️

You are most welcome!
A few years ago, both my index fingers started to hurt and 'click' at times, especially after waking in the morning. I started on KETO some 8 months ago, the issue has gone, I have also lost some 12 Kg weight. Some small 'bumps' (Calcium buildup?) on my little finger joints have reduced and basically disappeared! Love the information Dr Berg gives out!
I wish the same would happen with me. Unfortunately I have these nodules on my DIP joints (last finger joint) on both index fingers, and I’ve had them for several years so the only option at this point is to have them surgically removed. They’re bone growths that the body creates when there is inflammation and damage to the joint caused by arthritis.
@@kaymuldoon3575 Yeah that happens when it advances too far. To reverse it you have to stop the problem earlier. Not just too much iron, another big culprit is too much omega 6, and other inflamatory foods, too much oxalate would do it too, and in some people, too much grain.
opposite fir me....more bumps w meat
Thnk you so much doc
U r life saver ❤❤
Glad to help!
My brother passed at 34 with it in 1976. Skin turned bronze, hair reddish. Autopsy showed all organs were destroyed. Doctors said it was inherited. 6'2", 250lbs, weighed 130 when he passed. 6 months he had it. Doctors didn't know what was wrong till 30 mins after he passed. So rare back then to be identified. One doctor had seen only one case before.
Dr. Berg, Thank You so much for this advice. ❤
Sure! Glad I could be of assistance.
Can you please talk about breast and ovarian cysts problems in women . There is not enough studies done on this and it’s so common . Very painful for women thank you 🙏🏼
use sea kelp - works great
Hmm? interesting. Not a woman, but as a man I am well aware of this as being common, but did not know little has been done about it? I hope Dr Berg's tip helps you? (JF)
@@Drberg , Hi doctor, what is sea kelp? Thanks
@@Drberg, but what is that?
@@demigod5220 sea kelp is a plant grown in the ocean that is know for its mineral content especially a natural form of iodine.
Thank you Dr Berg. My daughter had Leukaemia in 2003 (AML) when she was 20 yrs old, with a MUD donor.
Countless transfusions later, chemo & radiation, she now has high iron in her blood. She has had her knees replaced and suffers GVH (Graft Vs Host) in her eyes. I never truly understood completely, what the repercussions of this was.... until now. She is nearly 40 now and seems reasonably healthy and fit. I thank the universe that we still have her with us. 🙏❤️
U r very lucky
@@ujjawalseeds8328 I know I am... thank you
You need to thank God, not the universe!
True cause God created the universe.
God created the universe so it cant possibly be god.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth.
Read the bible and turn to Jesus.
Thank you so much for this. I do know a number of folks who have this issue. I'm going to share this with them. ❤️ 💙 💜
You're very welcome!
Very glad to be of help, thanks for sharing!
@@Drberg you're welcome!!
Very nice explain sir God bless you and your family
Glad to help.
This is so interesting. I do have arthritis in the areas you mention (and others) and have had nodules even in the joints but as long as I stay low carb and gluten and dairy free I feel about 85 ok most days.
Hi Dr Berg, please what is the difference between orion overload and high level of ferritin.
Hello doc, thanks for the advice.
I have a question. Is there any blood analysis or another procedure which might give us a quantitative indicator of that iron overload?
I have osteoarthritis in my palms. The palm expert- so called Professor- said to me "but you are 45 y.o ". I started HFLC . I take turmeric and many antiinflamatory foods and threw away all seed oils. I take vitamin k2. The symptoms were gone since I started it 3 years ago.
What kind of boron should you buy for OA? Tia
This is a very important factor 👍learnt something new ..high carb leading to iron overload..thanks
Happy to know that you found the information useful.
Great video! I have hemochromatosis and my ferritin was almost 800. I found it during an annual physical with high iron. Just over the normal range, but enough for my doctor to check. I was referred to a hematologist and was able to get it down to 26 over two and half years with blood donations every two weeks. I have the arthritis you described. It has not improved with the reduction in iron. Thank you for your awesome content!
I have it, too. My ferritin was 14,000. Took a year of nearly weekly phlebotomies to get below 50.
My daughter has it. We caught it at birth because I was on multiple iron supplements and still bottoming out the whole pregnancy. Her normal rage is high. We have found with her if she is in a standard normal range she gets symptoms of Anemia.
Thank you! 🙏
Not at all!
Thank you dr Berg!!
Always glad to help!
Farout that's so interesting, thank you for sharing
Very glad to be of help, thanks for watching!
Great video.
When you say there is no way to take iron out of your body? Wouldn't Cholrella being highly beneficial in this regard?
Wow Dr Berg just this morning my husband knees are killing him, will definitely show him this vid
Awesome!
Good to know thanks
Thank You Dr Berg, I have a very bad moderate arthritis…
This looks interesting. Thank you for posting . Iron overload- interesting
Happy to know that you found the information useful.
I have been having pain in my knuckles lately. I had cancer surgery and was in the hospital a few weeks before the surgery and had two bloods transfusions.

Great morning to you 😊
I use to have so much pain in the right knee.
But because I exercise regularly for the pass 2 years I no longer have any pain. Exercise lubricant this joints.
Thanks
Many of these symptoms You mentioned , seem equal to gout , which I have .
Indeed when I 1st saw the pic at Your introduction page , I took to be gout .
Perhaps You could explain the differences between gout and arthritis
DML
Thank you very much
You're most welcome.
Does this mean stopping using iron pans for cooking? Stainless steel only? Also, the molasses is unfortunate. I take a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses occasionally at night before bed. I'm pretty strict keto, OMAD in late afternoon after training, and sometimes 48 hour+ fasting. Daily electrolyte supplements, no multivitamins. Any thoughts? Thanks Dr. Berg. You're my favorite health channel here. Cheers!👍🙂
How can I find out if I have an Iron overload? Can I see it in a blood test and what indicators would be altered? Thank you for a reply and for all your good videos!
I am 70 years old and from the age of 10 I have had arthritis, I have had every drug treatment available, seen a lot of doctors and specialists and nothing helped, in till I started taking the advice of Dr berg, then everything changed, my arthritis is 95% better, in fact my whole life is better, I have had no more pain for at least 5 years, well not so bad, and I will admit it, I owe my new life to DR BERG thank you

There's so many things to take it gets confusing. Can you do a what I take and eat in a day video? So we know the best supplements to take please?
Dr, my arthritis pain is not in the first knuckle but the second, the one closer to the middle of the finger. I'm 73 and this just started. I started making salsa for chips about 4 years ago and I eat a lot of cilantro and garlic in it. Thanks for any ideas.
Dr burg is a legend
I stopped eating dark chocolate, because of the high iron content. I can't eat just one piece, and being a male it's more of a concern. I still eat chocolate, just not 65% and up.
This man is revolutionizing worldwide medicine on his own
I would recommend cupping therapy for all kind of arthritis issues. Cupping removes the toxic blood out from the body.
Thank you.🙏
Most welcome.
