3:30 The best corticosteroid alternatives

The long-term effects of corticosteroids can be nasty. Today, I want to share some potential natural alternatives for corticosteroids that you can talk to your doctor about.
If a person takes something like prednisone long-term, they are susceptible to developing corticosteroid resistance. This means that it could stop working over time.
Potential side effects of corticosteroids:
• Cataracts
• Moodiness
• Weight gain
• Cushing’s syndrome
• Diabetes
• Osteoporosis
• Immunosuppression (immunodeficiency)
• Secondary infections
Natural corticosteroid alternatives:
1. Vitamin D3 (at least 20,000 IU)
2. Plant steroids (false unicorn root, licorice root, and fenugreek)
3. Adrenal glandular extract (grass-fed and freeze-dried)
4. TUDCA

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps increase your awareness of natural corticosteroid alternatives. I’ll see you in the next video.
A lot of people don't know that there's a small percentage of people that have bad side effects to prednisone. My daughter was one of them. It made her out of her mind and she ended up in a crazy hospital. She is fully recovered but not from any doctor but from God!
I am allergic to prednisone also. I hope your daughter is ok!
As long as it's her choice, that's what matters.
Oh my gosh!!!! Thank you, for this post. I went crazy while taking prednisone and ended up at a mental ward. I just thought 💭 it was all me.
Not sure if this will matter to you, but what you are describing is a side effect, not an allergic reaction. Allergy means something very specific and usually will involve a rash, hives, and in more serious cases difficulty breathing or anaphylaxis. This is of course not to diminish the side effect your daughter had, as steroid induced psychosis is very serious as well.
God huh…ok dude

@@fidelcatsro6948 should i take all 4 of them?
Wow! This is incredible information! I will be sharing this with anyone who is open minded enough to try these options.
Thank you Dr. Berg. You are serving humanity with kindness.
I know a lot of us have said this before but, you always seem to post videos right when we need them! Thank you!
This needs to be shared extensively.. to the entire 🌎!
Thank you. Appreciate your comment!
I agree!!
Is this 20,000 to 30,000 iu's per day or week?
@@cindyhurd2590 probably a day
@@polarbear3710 how long we can take 20000 or 30000 iu per day plz reply ?
The doctor kept me on corticosteriod for year my body had many side effects he never warned of side effects and when confronted he started giving excuses.
@granitestater1029 As a fellow RN, I totally agree!!
Good morning! I love waking up to your new videos. I share your videos with my family.
Thank you so very much Doctor! This is great info to have for future reference! Blessings to all with love and light! 🙏❤️🌞✨🤗
A video on what helps with tapering off longterm corticosteroids (5mg) with adrenal insufficiency would be popular I think. It’s rarely covered by any on YT.
Definitely following! As I've been on it for easily 3 years post transplant for a chronic disease and Definitely looking for an alternative as I've already seen.the affects . Let me know.!
definitely agree!
I'm assuming you've tried to taper ? What were some of you side effects while tapering?
Taking all the notes I need. Thank you for putting all this information out here for us
When I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis they gave me 1000mg for 3 days. I knew from the beginning that it wasn’t good for me. I haven’t been going to the hospital because they want to give me prednisone for my symptoms. I’m about to get some fenugreek and licorice root now
You described my experience with poison ivy. I used to get it annually starting at age 8. I can't believe I was not educated on what it looks like after being doctored with prednisone and everything.
I have been taking prednisone for 23 years, because of a kidney transplant. I did gain a lot of weight, but now I got my weight down. Since taking prednisone, I have type 2 diabetes and cataracts. I read information that was given to me by my nephrologist. The information you are discussing is true. The opthalmologist said that my cataracts are mild. My doctor did put me on Vitamin D3 1000 IU in 2009. My diabetes has been bad. My a1c is 7.7 and I plan to see him for a physical on November 4, 2022. I have been using cinnamon and it has been helping me with my diabetes. Thanks for the information.
Yeah my doctor put me on prednisone for 5 days about a week ago for my allergies because the sinuses were starting to mess with my ears, or at least that's what he thinks is happening. And then as a result I got sick right after finishing the cycle🙃. It was the worst I've ever felt from a normal flu🙃. Still recovering from it. I then learn about what prednisone does. Safe to say I'm going to use these alternatives from now on🙃
Glad to know the video help.
Yes the same happened to me as well … several times & I NEVER WANT TO TAKE THEM AGAIN. .. 😮😵💫
Garlic oil ear drops is first my go to when my kids or myself have ear/sinus/throat pain. It’s sometimes all it takes!
@Dr. Eric Berg DC If you could please elaborate how to use Fenugreek, thanks.
BE CAREFUL OF 🤦♂️
For once I might be able to help Dr. I'm a landscaper and survival dude. Learn to identify poison ivy, I look for the uneven outer leaf. When I come in contact with it, you have 2-8 hrs to wash it off. Pay close attention to sensitive skin, in between fingers and back of upper arms.
When I feel that certain itch, I use table salt. I get the area damp, then I gently rub in the salt and let it dry. Also I have heard jewel weed or Yarrow plant can neutralize it. I have never needed to use either.
Hope this helps you or someone else. 👍
Jewelweed definitely does work for PI! It's amazing. You can brew some in some water, let it steep, and then freeze it in an ice cube tray. That way, you can keep the jewelweed for a long time, and putting that ice cube on PI -- excellent.
@@michellebobier4471 thanks for sharing! I live in Mo. I am a plant guy and I haven't Identified that one. I know that if you hold it under water it glistens it glistens because the water can't actually touch the leaf. Most of the videos that I see about it aren't very good about showing the details
Hello Dr. Berg, great channel, I learn so much each day. I also recently started using a few of your supplements (hair vitamins/vitamin D/cod liver oil), so far so good. Can you focus one of your videos on “creatinine” what triggers it to go beyond the max #, natural ways to bring those levels down especially when the “reported causes” of high creatinine is not something that you are plagued with.
Thanks a lot Dr Berg for the great video and for the advice, information and tips 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very timely video for me, thank you!
REQUEST: Please do a video for seasnal allergies. I've become allergic to so many things it is now a yearround problem for me.
I've tried Quercetin and Nettle (both tablets and tea), but neither helped. Was most interested in your comment about the histimine effects of licorice root in this video, will be checking into that for sure.
Prednisone prescribed for me for acne resulted in IBS,weight gain, and other skin conditions. Thanks so much for this.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing this information Dr Berg🙂
This is so important!! Thank you so much dr. Berg! I had to go on very high doses of oral prednisone . I thought I was going to lose my mind. It helped for about a week until I started to tartrate down and off. I will never do that again. Thank you!
Dr: I'm sorry about your friend with whatever happened due to the steriod use. Hopefully things can get better in some way.
Thanks again, been taking that because of unbelievable swelling from a bad sprain. Going all natural tomorrow.
This is so scary especially as someone who has asthma and COPD. This has always been the first thing my doctor prescribed when I have a cold etc. Thank you once again for showing us a natural way of helping ourselves
Yes me too along with a peptic ulcer and constant sinus problems i am so at a loss , when i get a cold or flu i get it really hard i just know if i could some how stop stomach issues the rest would clear up
Stomach acid so up in my throat i take omeprazole in morning and famotidine at nite and its not helping very much
20000 iu per day or per week?
Did one of you guys tried these natural ways so far ?
@@besarzogaj17I'm going to look into it since I'm studying herbalism. Maybe a tincture could be made with the plants.
@@rachelcorsey9 I see . Keep me updated. Thanks . See you
I`m respectful & thank a lot Dr.Berg.
I receive many healthy knowledge.
God blessed you.
VALUABLE INFORMATION...GREAT JOB DOC.
I have asthma and when I was a child would be hospitalized for it. I remember one of the times I was in middle school and had been on steroids and my peers called me the Campbell Soup kid (this was back in the 80’s). Thank you for this information!
Campbells makes great chunky soup
I have been having body wide joint pain. My doctor thought I had rheumatoid arthritis but thank the Lord it came back negative. She prescribed me a steroid however I am leary to take it. I am incredibly thankful that you post this video I truly need it! Thank you Dr Berg, you are a Godsend!
Hi Lauren. Have you checked your vitamin D levels? I had the same problem. Joint pain that had me feeling like a 90 year old when I was only 40 so through blood work I found out I was severely vitamin D deficient. I started taking vitamin D3 + vitamin k2 and after 3 weeks in, the pain completely disappeared! Not sure if this may relate to you, but the relief I experienced was so drastic that I wanted to pass this info on in case it can help you too. Good luck on your health journey.
Have you had a special kind of s h o t? Did the pain start after that or get worse after?
Taking Vitamin D3 plus K2 and good quality cod liver oil supplement helps with joint pain.
Lucky u were wary!
Magnesium and vitamin D 15,000 worked for me
THANK YOU SO MUCH❤ Brilliant co-relational analysis. For me so important as I have asthma and RA, still need the puffer unfortunate, but everything else in remission and zero steroids. What did I do? Low carbs, D3, Mg, K, VitC, and regular exercise, good solid sleep. We can overcome,Dr.Berg forever grateful, you are important part of my recovery 🙏🏻
Great info as always 👍
Yes, I am very allergic to poison ivy too. Have never gotten over it without going to the Dr. and have been told I have an auto immune dz , some of same symptoms. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the information
Thank you. This is very informative. Blessings from Florida 🐢🐊🌺🌴🐠🪸🌊⚡️🌀🚀😎
No problem. Glad you like the information here.
Wish I knew all of this years ago when my grandma was suffering from COPD. She knew the prednisone was harming her overall, but couldn’t find anything natural. (At that time I was still teaching myself natural health.)
She passed 6 years ago, but she outlived her life expectancy by about 9 years. Her positive outlook on life played a big part in that! ❤️
Thank you Dr. Berg for your tireless efforts to re-educate the masses. God bless you!
Holy, the video I needed all my life.
Dr. Berg, I too am very allergic to poison ivy. Once we burned trash and weeds in a huge pile on our property. We didn't know there was poison ivy in the pile. I inhaled the smoke and got poison ivy internally. I ended up in the hospital. I had it coming out of my body from every exit way - ears, nose, tear ducts, sweat glands and other if you can imagine. I got through it but it was an awful experience.
What an awful experience. I hope you never have that again.
I'm sorry, that's horrible.
Wow, I never knew you could get it that way. I've had it bad too, not that bad but in my eyes and just caked all over my body. What did you do to get rid of it?
Useful theory for me to investigate. I'm in my 70s, disabled, and use steroids daily for asthma, as well as long-term annual cortisone epidurals for severe orthopedic pain issues. Thanks!
Wow this was incredibly helpful! Thank you ❤
Glad to hear that! Most welcome!
Dr. ERIC. Thank you for your awesome videos.
Glad you like them. Hope you are learning a lot here.
Excellent, thank you.
super informative dr.Berg
thank you Dr we need more people like you in this world. God bless 🙏
Glad to be an inspiration and I'm happy you found the information useful.
2 years ago I had chest infection. I do have asthma. While in the hospital they put me on 60 mg of prednisone every 8 hours. That's 180 mg a day. Over 40 side effects and I had 20 of them I thought I was going to go crazy I gained 60 plus pounds within 8 months. But eventually lost those 60 lb within another year. Prednisone is the worst. Everything tastes like prednisone. I've been suffering because of it 2 years later.
I find everything you do inspirational and very educational. Thank you
I had a big moon face from a high dose of prednisone. I was hospitalized with a severe RA flare up so they treated it aggressively and it literally showed in my face.
This is brilliant info as my wife suffers from HAE Hereditary Angeo Adema I dont want her on steroids
Most of these things we have. So many thanks
Dr. Berg is so great, lots of GP write out drugs but dont look at alternative ways.
The few times I was put on Steroids, a few weeks later I got sick with respiratory infections. … and these infections were serious.
I never wanna take them again so THANKYOU for these alternatives. 👍
Thnx doc for this gem of information.
I really appreciate you saying so.
Taken prednisone several times for asthma.. last I was put on prednisone for my asthma when I got Covid and it’s side effects were much worst than Covid itself.. may God protect everyone
Thank u for such profound information Dr.Berg!
My Mum has Alzheimer’s and polio myalgia rheumatica, I started giving her curcumin among many other things for her Alzheimer’s and it wasn’t long after that that I was able to keep her off prednisone for her polio myalgia rheumatica and that was more than six years ago and she’s never needed prednisone ever since.
Boswellia serrata (frankincense) is a great alternative to steroids.
in research it worked as well as steroids when patients were on chemo therapy, without any of the side effects.
it is a miraculous substance.
How do you take Boswellia serrata?
@@rodolfogarcia5397 topical essential oil from Vitality is what I use. It helped my knee get better.
@@rodolfogarcia5397 I used one dropper full morning and night, I didn't mix it with any other oil. It air dries quickly.
Hi Dr Berg you always looking better than before.
I have a question about how to shave your face better and what techniques or materials to use
It goes back to doing everything in moderation . I try and stick to a plan with most everything I do with my health .
I check my progress and adjust accordingly.
Good info as always
Glad you liked it. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions or want to see other videos in the future.

QUESTION-HOW MUCH OF THE PLANT STEROIDS DAILY to be effective?
I’m on Prednisone right now for 10 days due to poison Ivy, second time this year. I’m very allergic also.
I’ll try these other options next time.
Thank you SO much!
very very interesting, wonder if this has been tested or any clinical studies published, this video can help billions globally.
You r doing a good job.
Thanks!
I was taking prednisone for half my life to mitigate the symptoms of ulcerative colitis, It did work and the side effects were tolerable. One of the mainstays of Western Medicine. When I switched to alternative treatment options my practitioner recommended simply changing my diet, from SAD to Keto/Carnivore. That solved all my digestive issues, If I only knew!
Thank you!
Dr. Berg, thank you 😊 for all your incredible information you provide free to help us all.
I have most of the side effects of prednisone. I have dermatomyositis, with ILD. I want to find a way to gradually incorporate vit d. How can I do it?
One important plant is missing! I took Boswellia extract for my gut inflammation instead of Prednisone and it helped tons without side effects!
Is it helped to another disease?
I've taken Boswellia for ankylosing spondylitis and it's helpful to control inflammation and pain. But not panacea or true healing. Akin to taking small dose of ibuprofen but with no side effects
very good information! what is please the adrenal granular extract- 'bo wine'?
I switched GI doctors and he asked if I’ve ever tried getting off Mercaptopurine because he did not like that medication because “it’s nasty.” I’ve taken that for 23 years for my Crohn’s disease(I’m 41).
I’ve began watching your videos and using them to learn about food, vitamins and the way the body uses them. I’ve been off the medication 10 months and my bloodwork hasn’t shown an increase in inflammatory markers as compared to being on the medication.
Happy diwali doctor from India.🇮🇳
Your videos are very helpful. Keep doing this great work.
It's my pleasure! Happy to know you found the video useful.
Oh my! I have been taking prescribed D2 for a couple of years! It has help with muscle and body pain though.
I am so grateful for this great video, but have an important question about the use of licorice root.
I had heard about it being bad to eat if you already suffer from high blood pressure, and have stayed away from eating it.
But because it came up in this video, I decided to pause the video and look it up again online, and numerous sources state that licorice root can lead to DANGEROUSLY HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE and DANGEROUSLY LOW POTASSIUM LEVELS.
According to one source, "Licorice contains glycyrrhizinic acid, which sets off a well-understood chain reaction of biochemical events in the body resulting in high blood pressure."
Licorice root, in it's raw, whole form appears to be safe.
But in more concentrated forms, like those found in extracts and also when used as a sweetener (because it is about 50x as sweet as sucrose), when used in things like soft drinks and snack foods, it can become a serious problem, especially if consumed regularly.
Hello Dr.Berg, i am watching your videos for 1 year they were very helpful, i had type 2 diabetes since 5 years, by watching your videos i did keto diet and i avoided sugar for 6 monthes, last week was my appointment with doctor, they tested me and told that now i have no diabetes, i was so shocked and happy to hear this news, by help of strict diet diabetes has disappeared... So thanks very much for helping all of us,by the way i want to know that which cooking oil and spices are organic in USA, and which one do you eat, so plz plz make a video on that, that will be very helpful for me...
Ma Shaa ALLAH stay bless
❤️ you are amazing do you have a book , i would love one
I use bile salts but have not been able to find Tudca here in the Philippines. Thanks for the info Dr. Berg.
Thirty years ago, a doc put me on Prednizone (along with Theopheline, Ceftin, inhalant steroid, and Robutussin with Codeine) for asthma and borderline pneumonia (I was breathing at 28% lung capacity) and the flu. The side effects were horrific! I said never again then, and I've stood my ground since. I learned about natural healing from a client of mine and the only pharmaceutical I take now is Breo Ellipta (Fluticasone Furoate 100mcg and Vilanterol 25 mcg inhalation powder) but I only take one puff every 6 days. It's amazing to me that the doctor wanted me to take two puffs every morning and evening, and I do just fine with one puff every 6 days!!! I've already had the cataract surgery, and I have adrenal and cortisol issues. I've been trying to ween myself off Breo as well, hence the 1 puff/6 days, so this video is perfect for me! I already upped my Vitamin D to 20,000 iu/day, 40,000 iu when I remember to take my two evening capsules. Thank you Dr Berg for this info! It is greatly appreciated!
Just a thought but I got the gummies in D3 and everything else as I can not absorb vitamins...it made all the difference in the world those vitamin gummies...I only take gummies but a couple don't come in gummies....huge difference...maybe that might help you and others
@Debbie Sidebottom - I used to take Nordic Naturals D3 plus K2 gummies all the time. I still have one bottle left, but I'm trying to cut out all sugar that I can, and the gummies have more than I care for, so I've been taking Dr Berg's D3/K2 capsules for the last several months. It's an option, though, for those who are not reactive to sugar.
Thanks a lot sir.....
In Spain licorice root has been always among the natural candies I was able to eat (chew) as a kid. Now you can find them only at herb stores.
I buy it cheaply from Amazon
Thanks for the Info. Help a lot to be aware about prendisone side effects. I suffer almost 6 mos I think it was because of prendisone.

Thank you Dr Berg for the great content that you share.

Thanks for your continued support!
I've historically taken allergy and asthma medicine daily. At least once a year I've had to take Prednison. That is until early 2021 when I started watching these videos and going Keto. From that time until today I haven't had issues except when I had C-19. I attribute it to Keto and for increasing my vitamins, especially Vit D3. Thanks Dr!
Thank you, I'm 38 and get poison ivy bad and have taken prednisone so many times I'm pretty immune to it. I've tried to find alternative solutions but this information is very helpful for the next time ty ty.
Prevention is half the cure. If you can wash it off within two hours with cold soapy water, you should be safe from poison ivy,and poison oak
Dr. Berg thank you so much for your amazing continued dedication in educating the masses especially since Medical Care currently is less than satisfactory to say the least. I'm sure others as myself and have experience with my mom being elderly that there seems to be very minimal care. Treated like cattle. Rather than given a number you're only known by your social security number, given the good enough clinical and you're walking out the door.
It's that attitude that now my mother who was released a day after surgery last week who should not have been, is now fighting for her life in the icu. Why was she released? Because they needed the bed more than they needed the body to occupy it. And that was the honest truth I'm not just saying that. I'm only telling this because I have been watching your videos for a few years now and I know in my heart a lot of the things that you have put out there would have helped her greatly but she put all of her faith in prescription medication.
It's from being on a lot of those that have brought us to where we are now including complete stage 5 kidney failure she was on at least three medications for other things but that is a side effect of those medications or as I prefer to phrase it consequences.
When you are caregiver you have to do a lot of research but she is independent and not a ward so I had to sit by, put in my two cents worth when I could and watch this all play out as I knew it would.
I myself am asthmatic, arthritic and have been on Prednisone more times than I can count all throughout my youth for it. In the last two years my mom was put on it quite frequently for her arthritis and pneumonia. As a matter of fact she was on it before this last surgery.
I experienced a lot of the side effects. In fact I was 40 lb overweight through majority of my junior high days and unfortunately once I was finally taken off of it and that weight went away I went from being called some unpleasant things to people assuming I had an eating disorder which wasn't the case because they didn't know what the story was. It's very difficult to be on the medication that overpowers you so much. I was constantly hungry and eating I couldn't stop, I would get angry, definitely had the moon face going on and of course the weight gain came with the eating regardless of how active I was. My friends and I give it the title it deserves. Evil.
I was in an accident a few years ago which I was hit head-on directly in the trigonomial nerve so I'm incredibly appreciative that you mentioned that about your friend because that is a possibility that they had discussed with me but given my previous experience with prednisone I'm fighting to the nail to do anything but take that evil stuff. From watching your videos and getting educated about inflammation, cleaning out the radicals and junk in your body I can honestly say finally after 5 years the pain has almost completely subsided. I never thought I'd be a day without pain and they told me that I would be dealing with it for the rest of my life. It does flare up I believe my glands in that area were also affected so they puff up sometimes I'm not sure what causes it I'm still trying to figure that out but their solution is to take everything out. I don't believe that's necessary I just need to figure out why my body is working the way it is from this impact it took. I don't make you solely responsible for my medical health but I think your advice is incredible and stands true. I definitely use it and do research and so far everything that I have chosen to apply from your education has honestly helped me immensely.
When I've improved in something trying some of your advice my doctors will ask what I've done differently and I tell them. I do it smart and wisely and so far it has not done me wrong. So thank you so much I hope you know how incredibly appreciated you are!
I like your idea of calling them consequences rather than side effects. How many people would takes these medications in the first place, if doctors had to phrase it that way?
I'm already a difficult patient to treat....first & foremost in the fact that I should have died 5 times to date in my life. I was placed on a Pred pack about 4 wks. ago & see my primary on the 25th. Prior to this script, I'd not taken any steroid in over 3 decades. Nothing makes me comfortable...I'm in pain all the time & my spinal cord work injury that Work Comp refused to fix has left me w/o sleep for over 5 yrs. now. I've been through countless tests & WC finally swallowed their words & agreed all my health issues are their fault.
I am elated that this video showed up in my sidebar today. I've been experiencing severe hunger issues at 10pm for almost 1 week now. I injured my C-spine a couple months ago & can't have surgery. I initially went w/o food....just forced a measured cup of rice w/broth into me daily for almost 3 wks. Even the sight of food made me nauseous...it was like I was pregnant but I had a hysterectomy in '93, so NOT possible. Even though I've been slowly eating solids again....as a woman of logic, the ONLY reason I could come up with is that my body somehow required these late night meals. This has NEVER happened to me, NOT even during my pregnancies. Thank you for posting the hunger side effects...it was driving me crazy! Cheers, ~ Covah
Thank you Dr. Berg!

Good morning!
Hi Dr.Berg, I appreciate and am thankful for all the information you provide us which our Dr's do not. I have a sister with Lupus for 21 yrs now who has been on Prednisone all this time. My sister is experiencing all kinds of side effects now. Would love if you could help her taper off Prednisone and use Vit D instead. Appreciate any help you can provide. Her Drs do not agree with getting off Prednisone but her body is suffering on this drug. Thank you!
I have lupus and sjogrens, been doing so much better since doing low carb and IF. but when I flare I need prednisone and it works amazing, I love how it makes me feel, lol, like 20 years younger. but yes, I do worry about side effects, so was very interested to watch this and see there is possible alternatives. I do know licorice can raise blood pressure, so interested to research this a bit more. thank you for giving some more food for thought :)
Hi Dr Berg, I've seen a lot of videos so far about health since its my passion and all my years of searching for natural solutions you have bang on in your videos! God bless you!
I have a question for you re corticosteroids. I've been using Beconase, Nasonex, Flixonase in spray and Dexason as tablets and nasal drops for 20 years. I know you mentioned Prendisone, it may be a different corticosteroid but would those alternatives work for my cronic rhino-sinusitis? Thanks a mil and greeting from Ireland!
But transplant recipients need prednisone to weaken immune system to avoid rejection. In that case, taking vitamin D3 everyday will strong the immune system and get rejection. Am I right?
Omg will you be my doctor? You are so smart!
He is.
Dear Dr Berg. Thank you very much for this very important topic. I was on Prednisone for longer than a year. It was prescribed for Large Cell Arteritis. Last week I stoped it , because I have all side effects. Your information is so important.
The information you gave is so valuable. During a year and a half I was suffering so much. And now you lit some light of hope. Thank you kindly. With best wishes from Australia.
please tell if the d3 etc helps as much as prednisone?
how long did this take until you witness the benefits of d3?
did prednisone help with arteritis and was d3 better?
Thanks for the great information you put out. I not only use it for myself, I try to apply it to my pets as well. This if very helpful since I have a dog that has problems with his disks and has had to have prednisone a couple of times. I'll research what, if any, of these things he can have.
Deborah, have you tried also putting your dog on a human meant and carrot eating plan.
My sister had two dogs who were getting older and were to the point of barely walking. She had put herself on a grain free, sugar free and dairy free diet, and her discs issues were gone within weeks.
One day she realized this eating plan might also help her dogs, and so she began feed them what she was feeding herself. The difference was remarkable for her and for both dogs.
@@pamscarr8696 I"ve added fresh liver and a few other things to their diets. They do like to eat carrots. It's difficult to put them on a dog specific diet (meat, raw meat) because of cost but I can get liver, hearts, spleen, and things like that for them relatively cheap. He's been hurt, he's blind and they run over him sometimes, by the bigger dogs a few times recently without having trouble with his back. I've fermented things for them and it's been helpful, too.
I just saw your ferment comment - my pup LOVES lacto fermented sauerkraut! I switched from a dog probiotic to giving her a scoop of that everyday and she loves it. If you need to feed kibble due to cost (which is my case), I give my pup the Wildology brand. It seems to be the cleanest. Then I too her bowl with meat and veg as I go.

I was prescribed very large dose steroids for months and gradual decrease, the shock to my body, hair was so detrimental it took a year for me and my hair to recover, Auto immune disorder, recently had a relapse but watching this video I decided to chose the alternative route. I was on my way to Hospital for PET/SCAN and discussing more steroids - I declined them after which I took what you suggested. 'This has changed my life' in ways I could not altogether describe. I am free of all ailments, my energy levels have lifted as for feeling well again it was nothing short of a 'Miracle'!!!! Thankyou for this wonderful channel for which I am truly grateful..
This is so wonderful!!
@@Drberg Thankyou so much!!
I just got diagnosed with temporal arteritis today and I am devastated. I am not left with any good treatment options. Please help me, Dr. Berg. 😫 I am equally as terrified of the diagnosis as I am of the treatments they give. I feel backed in a corner with no option.
Thank you ❤️ Dr Berg
You're very welcome!
Hi Dr. Berg. I have microscopic colitis, and am taking Budesonide for the problem Budesonide is a corticosteroid. Do you think your proposed therapy could replace Biudesonide and solve my medical problem? Would really. Appreciate your input. Thank you for all your excellent information! - Mikey
OMG this is a godsend! Thank you, Dr. Berg, for this video. I know that Prednisone has bad side effects but why do many doctors prescribe it so easily & quickly? It's a bandaid solution for a patient's present sickness & then the after effect could be long term. I'm deeply grateful for these alternatives you mentioned.
I really want to ask you what do you think of ketokinazole for hair?
Your a genius ive changed my habits because of your lecture s. Anything effective for spider veins. Does omega-3 help?
