@@bunnybubs757 She was in her early eighties then. As she cared for Dad, (who needed a full time nurse) she would hop a few inches up and down, feet together, several times a day.
Mom got her inspiration from hearing the details of my daughter's horrific car accident. My daughter broke her femur from the impact. The orthopedist (bone specialist/surgeon) said he'd never worked with a patient with stronger bones. My daughter had been active in high impact sports: dance, gymnastics, and all-star cheerleading. The doctor suspected this was the reason her bones were so strong.
I am 67 years old. I have had a DEXSCAN every two years for many years. My insurance has always covered it because it is considered to be a preventative. My last scan was in 2019 in Nebraska. I moved to Missouri later that year. It is now 2022. I asked my current primary care nurse practitioner if she could order a DEXASCAN. She said she could not order a scan unless I agreed to take a bisphosphonate. Very suspicious. AMA requirement? Or BIG PHARMA? I refused. In my opinion, they are poison. I made an appointment at an independent imaging office for this coming Thursday. Cost is $50. on the day of service. Cheap enough.
Wonderful info.!! Plz be sure to take Vitamin K2 [Menaquinone]. It is a fermented substance. Mk7 form. May want to watch "The End of Cardiovascular Disease & Osteoporosis", by John Whitcomb MD In a nutshell, we have 2 proteins in us, just waiting to be activated by 👉 K2. 1st Protein, OSTEOCALCIN. Directs calcium into bone matrix. Without K2 - calcium Never goes to the right place, rather circulates in blood. 2] Protein is called Matrix Gla which pushes or prevents Ca from going into soft tissue & arteries. That's why there is the cardiology diagnostic test called: CAC Score, Coronary Artery Calcification score. But, there's no 💊 Rx to clear out calcification other than surgery. Crazy why measure it & not offer solution Such as Menaquinone. In Japan, fermented soybean called Natto, has the highest amount of K2. Its smelly stuff & must have a taste for it. Nice thing it comes in capsul form. 👉 Well, the Northern 1/2 of Japan eats Natto and has low rates of hip fractures, unlike the South part of Japan that has not acquired a taste for it. 🤷🏻🤷🏻. Lastly, K2 is no trend or fad. 3 Major studies verification, came out it 2017 called the Rotterdam: 4,000 ppl over 10 yrs. ✅✅
The most important point that was omitted here is that people need to move. Bone growth and strength occurs when stress is applied with muscle movement. Many health problems are related, or at least compounded, by a sedentary lifestyle. Walking around the block is not enough. Full body workouts incorporating weights is best. Running and jumping stimulates bone density and strength. You have to work your upper body as well.
My 84yo mother was told to go low sodium and she “fell” (likely fainted) and cracked her pelvis in two places. When she arrived in the ER her sodium was so low that they had to give her salt tablets immediately. Sadly, this was the beginning of a long downward trend for her. Thank you Doc for the fabulous wisdom!!
Yes, my 80yo neighbour was hospitalised for dizziness and weakness. Her medications had depleted her salt levels. She was sent home with instructions to eat more salt. I wonder how many elderly people aren't checked for low salt and are instead given yet another drug.
🌹🌹🌹 from Pakistan My father was a carnivore (enjoyed it ),, very litlle vegees ( just to please my mother), ate some fruit as dessert, a warm glass of milk as a nightcap. Daily took a walk early morning and after dinner. Survived two serious falls (near 80 years old) some cuts and bruises but no broken bones !!! He was no health fiend. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 you are very right !!!
My mom took Fosamax. She also ate tums every day. She tried not to eat animal fats. First she broke one hip. Then she broke the other. She had lost about nine inches of height, partly because of collapsed vertebrae. I.would NOT take Fosamax. Remember when every woman neededPremarin to prevent bone loss? Well, I took it for about 20 years. Now it is a nono. I am 74 and have not lost even a fraction of my 5’2” height. What we are told by our doctors can be crap. Anyone who thinks doctors are not making pharmaceuticals rich is crazy. We need to look elsewhere for our info and I, for one, am listening to Ken Berry! Carry on the good work, Doc!
Dr. Berry, I recently had a checkup with my primary care doctor. My bone density test showed a huge change in my osteoarthritis. He was stunned and stated he didn’t know why this change has occurred. Well, I got into my car to head home and wow, it came to me. I know what changed! It was the Proper Human Diet I’ve been on since March of 2021. I am also down 34 lbs and in great shape physically at 74 years old. All blood work is fabulous and off a couple of meds that were not good for me. Thank you for all you do and especially videos you put out to us so that we know how to better take care of ourselves. I am living testimony among many many others.
@@Seekingtruth-mx3ur I hope you’ve found this out by now, 10 months later. If not, you haven’t been watching Dr. Berry’s channel much, since he talks about it constantly. Please do yourself a favor if you haven’t watched any since then. 👍
Yayy!!! 😀 🥳 That’s awesome news! Good for you, and thanks for posting this! I started eating mostly carnivore a month ago to heal osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, leaky gut, and a host of other problems too numerous to mention. That’s totally great, and tells me I’m on the right path! 😀👍
Do you have a link to a research study which shows a causative study that wt lifting is essential to bone building? How about lifting babies, laundry, cleaning gutters? Hauling trash and green waste?
@@skyranchsoaps It does not matter how you stress the bones. Several studies show it helps. You can look them up easy enough yourself. Easy to Google and faster than expecting someone else to do if for you. Walking works. Lifting anything heavy works. But if you have a life style where you sit on your butt every day you half to something to stress them.
Eating a carinvore diet or keto is the best solution for strong bones, oh and overall health and prevention (as much as you can) from lifestyle disease
Eating a carnivore diet reduces life expectancy to about 40 years. You can add 10 for keto. I am almost 75. I would have dead many years ago if i would have lived my life on either of those fad diets. They don't work.
Why in the world have the medical community fallen for “research” done by big pharmacy money? This is one very important message you slipped in there that is so important. It should not even be allowed and is contaminated by greed.
I was told to take massive calcium supplements. Now my joints scream at me everyday. I stay away from doctors as far as I can. I still see my naturopath who can actually help me get better. I would trust you, Doc Berry. D3 and K2 everyday.
I fell for the Calcium supplements as well. Didn't need it, as I ate a lot of yogurt and occasional milk. A few months after the Calcium pills, I spent an evening in the ER passing a kidney stone! I just knew right away the pills did it and threw them away. It has been 10 years and have yet to get another.
I also ignored that advice. I've seen that we need MK 7, a form of Vit K, I think. It's supposed to get the calcium into the bones and not the soft tissue, as in our arteries!
I took large quantities of calcium as recommended. After a decade or more I realized that if the calcium supplements were in all tissues of my body then not only my bones but my heart (muscle ) would be affected. Due to chronic back pain I was desperate and tried dry needling with a therapist who also advised stretches. He let me go because after several attempts over weeks his needles didn’t achieve the goal but bent at right angles! At this point I stopped calcium pills and have tried to follow dietary options.
I supplement with eggshell calcium I make with pastured eggs that I dry and sterilize in the oven. Then crush to a powder with a little coffee grinder. Take with water up to a teaspoon a day. 1/2 tsp is 400 mg of very bioavailable calcium. Directions are on the internet. I have to say here that keto for over 5 years damaged my thyroid, weakened my bones and raised my blood pressure. IF encouraged undereating and I began to gain weight. I have stopped low carb as our bodies first must use glucose for energy. The secondary method is creating glucose from a stress pathway using stress hormones of cortisol and adrenaline. That puts stress on your body and brain and takes what it needs to make glucose by basically eating your organs and tissues-thyroid, liver, brain function, arteries, etc. it’s ok for awhile but caused damage after so many years. My functional medicine doc didn’t even know this after I spent upwards of $8,000.00.
Its unforgivable that after all the years of scientific research the numbers of supposed health professionals are still peddling the same old miss information on so many health related issues. Thankyou Dr Berry for speaking up to challenge the status quo.
I'm right there with you...always pissing Drs off because I do my research...always. I think it's hilarious. They should know better. Thanks for sharing your intelligence & candor.
Pamela, same here. I thought I found a great DO, but as the appointment progressed and I was asking questions, she asked me what sources I use on the internet. Wow. What made me question her was she had no idea who Dr. Joe Mercola was.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on how to personally take care of your own health. Thank you Dr. Berry. You are a one in a million healing physician!
Dr. Berry... you gave me my life back!! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be getting well. I was in such bad shape and on dozens of meds, looking at a shortened life span and waisting so much money on specialists and tests and meds and equipment and giving myself injections of scary toxins that could make my life worse. I am so thankful for you and your videos. Thank you for teaching me (and thousands of others) how live a longer and healthier life and for giving me the courage to stand up and fight for my health and my life. The specialists in my life had me scared to death and I felt like I had nothing to look forward to. Then I found your videos and I am improving and feeling better than I have in a very long time with so much to look forward to! With keto my type 2 diabetes is gone, my blood pressure is normal, no more migraines, macular degeneration gone in my left eye, confirmed twice! No more meds!! And now with eating strict Carnivore for 3 weeks my RA, OA, Inflammatory Arthritis and Fibromyalgia are healing. I have very little pain now and I have never felt better. Thanks to you and Neisha. My husband and I can never thank you enough and will be supporting you to help you keep sharing your videos and saving people's lives. Please keep doing what you're doing!!!
Absolutely. For Forty years I've been telling friends of mine that they were doing their children a great disservice, if not killing them. The latter part I didn't tell them, but I wanted to. They put their very young children on a vegetarian diet. I told them that that was like giving them Cyanide in their formula. Young children,and for that matter, all children need animal protein to grow and flourish. They told me that I was out of my mind. After being treated like that, I gave up. I also had friends and family ask me what to do medically. After hearing my opinion they ended the conversation and I didn't hear from them for some years. You try to do something good for people and they treat you like the plague. I didn't volunteer my help, they asked for it. I put them into my dead file.
You tried and that’s all you can do. And anyone who puts a child on a vegetarian diet needs a reprogramming.Unfortunately it is difficult to maintain friendships, over time . I have one lifelong friend unfortunately far away but with today’s tech easy to keep in touch, another old neighbor friend since1974. ( I am dating myself!) and another great friend a few hours away who is almost always on the same page as me! No-one has hundreds of friends, a few really good ones or one is just fine. It hurts to lose friends and family members to things that are ridiculous but maintain the high road, forgive and forget and move on. They are the ones losing out, not you.
excuse me, but my child was raised vegetarian and he is a healthy tall young lad! doesnt drink or smoke and works out. do not say anyonne who puts a child on veg diet needs reprogramming!
I love the education that you provide Dr Berry. I am yet to find a Doctor like you in South Australia with the same knowledge and teaching it too. I am sure Australia will catch up one day. My Kidney Specialist said he can't help me when I saw him recently. Just told me to eat fish in my diet. The one before him told me, don't eat bananas and the one before then said drink up to 3 coffees a day and stop eating red meat. Thank God you are on RUclips !!! As they say, there is always hope..just look in a different direction if you're not seeing any. :)
@@deirdrewalsh1134, No, I haven't. What State of Australia is he in ? I have steered away from Keto. I am just trying to find my own way through this and have cut back a lot on red meat. I eat low carb vegetables and sour dough bread.
In my long life of 82 years , I have only met two caring and loving Doctors , they took their time , no matter how full the waiting room was , I still feel guilty about that, lol. When one of them died I suffered immense ly and never found another one like him . He was one of my best friends .
I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for doing what most doctors should do but won’t. You try to get to the root of our health problems and guide us to healing ourselves. I recently started a Keto diet. It’s still a bit of a struggle but giving up is not an option. I’m a FORMER smoker, high carb eater and low physical exerciser. Because of the high level of poisons I have put in my body for 66 years, I am now fighting cancer, diabetes with neuropathy and hypothyroidism. I’m on immunotherapy for the cancer (already had chemo and radiation). Metformin for the diabetes and Levothyroxine for thyroid. The cancer will go away, of that I personally am certain. Eventually so will the diabetes and hypothyroidism. But I’m going to help my body heal by stopping the ingestion of slow poison. This is for the whole community. The only problem I have with Keto is trying to keep carbs at 20 or less per day. Any suggestions? My body tells me in no uncertain terms when I have gone over the 20 carbs which happens everyday.
Hi Donna's stitch in time. I was the worst carb addict ever. I phased out carbs in stages. Fruit was the last to go. Now I stick with a green salad (arugula and celery, sometimes onion or tomatoe) & beef, fish or eggs. After a little while the carb cravings will reduce & then disappear. I did it gradually, but one day I was having dinner with a friend who was eating bread. I had zero desire for the bread. It was shocking to me!!! You can do it too. Good luck and keep up your positive attitude. Blessings to you.🙏🌹🕊
Curious about the Soy. I hadn’t heard that. My osteoporosis advisor nearly cried for me because I am allergic to dairy. They did recommend an injection which I put a stop to. For all the almonds I ate and green leafy veggies I now have high oxalate content in my body. But, getting back to Soy, it makes me irritable. I’ve tried to eat it but don’t like the hot tempered creep that I become. I added it to my allergy list.
I was told this year, my bones were only 92% of a young person. I'm 66 and this year I started Keto, and walking the dog to exorcize. I'm down 40 currently. Still can't give up low-carb veggies. I need the fiber.
There is nothing wrong with including low carb veg. I enjoy them and many of us can handle them fine. I have actually had less constipation with less and less fiber though.
Had a Lipoma Removed, No Big deal, they did do a MAC and local. they sent list what to do after the surgery . Reading the list says ( eat foods high in Fiber, As in Fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Eat smaller meals 5 to 6 times a day. A person would think a protein diet would be more effective in healing after a surgery. I would say I felt better faster sticking to meat.
Thank you Doc Berry. I have been told I have Osteoporosis !! I am in my 80th year and for the last 18 months I have taken all the advice I can from good Doctors like you ,on line, and not never have I Brocken a bone . I’m hoping , like you say I could have strong bones if not dense ones. 👍💖🇬🇧
Wolff's Law states that your bones will adapt based on the stress or demands placed on them. When you work your muscles, they put stress on your bones. In response, your bone tissue remodels and becomes stronger.
Clinic in Australia successfully re/building bone incl osteoporosis using heavy weights. Also search studies on Dr Fishman yoga poses and osteoporosis. Not avg studio poses.
Good video. Bone density is how much bone is present, but more bone that is just as brittle doesn't do much. I think having higher bone density is still good, but it's not a stand in for strong bones.
Thank you SO much, Dr. Berry, for your videos and references on osteoporosis! The PHD has cured my hypertension, obesity, and joint pain. Only the OP remains, and I don't have the personality to continue fighting with my doctors over the awful medications they want me to take, so I have been avoiding them. Fortunately, I can, since I am healthier now.
You can't really fight. The will put "compliance problems" into your file. Then other physicians will see it in the files and will act accordingly. It is messed up.
@@frannypalmer2726 I’m worried refusing the medication is going to affect my doctors’ visits and possibly my insurance, but no, I’m not going to consume the medicine, I’ll toss it.
Have a family member who just graduated with her Masters in nutrition and dietetics - her #1 recommendation is “plant based”. When asked why,due to the much reduced bio availability of protein, her response was, well because that is what we were told in school. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
"Alcohol is poison." Well, of course you're correct. But enjoying a delicious craft beer, a glass of wine, or an occasional cocktail, is one of life's sweet pleasures, and that counts for something, too.
The bone specialist in Canada didn’t give me any advice regarding food or exercise, instead she gave me a bag full of samples of medications for bone, that you take once a week. I took the bag and it made it to pharmacy as a return. Never went back to this “ specialist”.
Dr. Berry, med schools need your knowledge. Doctors, NPs, PAs need this education in their programs. Instead of a day long class on nutrition that focuses on medications to “fix” diseases related to nutritional deficiencies, a semester of Dr. Berry’s nutritional education would change lives forever!
Thank You....been DX with osteoporosis....every thing my MD has recommended you blew out of the water ....was a low calorie....low fat follower as per MD recommend for years only to loose the to gain more back ...Hubby and I have been keto/more carnivore this past year...I’m down 60 lbs. hubby 40 lbs. blood work excellent, we don’t feel deprived,depressed....totally opposite.....we are 70 yrs young.....Merry Christmas 🎄 cheers from Pennsylvania 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My older sister gave in and received the IV bone medicine and has almost lost her jaw and now has bad teeth. Dentist won't touch her, now she needs a total hip and her spine is a mess. Years ago I tried some of the oral medications and they tore up my stomach. Now I have gastric sleeve, increased my meat intake, going lower carb working to very low carb. No more scans, doing well. Thank you for your advice.
As 1/2 Ojibwe given up at birth .. I fought my weight all my life until I discovered Paleo .. Giving up Grains and useless carbs has saved me. Which took until diverticulitis erupted and took 4ft of colin. Almost killed me .. I am toughy who waited until the pain forced me to the hospital. Where I was sesptic for at least week. That wasn't the end .. Yet
Here in New Zealand, the doctors would probably recommend eating plenty of dairy food to get enough calcium. I've never been a fan of milk on its own, but I enjoy cheese, and have cream, sour cream, cream cheese and yoghurt from time to time. I see no problem with eating these as part of a proper human diet.
Dairy is what actually causes issues with bones, the high calcium which humans never evolved to eat, causes bones to literally wear iut as the calcium needs to be buffered in the bones after eating as to not cause too much in the blood. I stopped eating dairy because of this. I eat almost no calcium, just like asians do and who dont have all these bone issues like dairy eating westerners do.
It's a joy sharing your videos Dr Berry, they helped me so i want them to help others live a healrhy life. Thank you and God blessings to you and your family.
Been eating a proper human diet for a couple years, and still learning new things all the time, thank you Dr Berry! My mom and I check every high-risk box for osteoporosis and your videos helped me convince her to throw out her calcium supplement and not go on Fosamax or similar drug being "offered" by her Dr
The "stuff" behind you is so classic! I believe that's a bust of Hippocrates over your right shoulder; the wise ol' owl over your left. You also have long-seeing binocs for your wisdom, and the gyroscope is lots of fun to play with, which gives an indicaiton of your physics education. The flask and stethoscope are also très super ! Cool, Doc!!!
I've literally two days ago been diagnosed with Severe osteoporosis and I've had coeliac disease for one year all this was diagnosed due to me having had covid 19 and I'm 18moths into a long covid relapse. I've been prescribed calcium tablets and Vitamin D - but my vitamin D levels show up as being normal... I'm totally confused by my GP's advice- I'm so glad that I've stumbled across your channel 👏👏👏Thank you for putting this info out there - I'm from England by the way 🇬🇧
I realized what you are talking about especially when my 80 yr old mom was craving meat and she had terrible osteoporosis actually worse after taking Fosamax till she just couldn't tolerate it anymore.
I recommend watching Mr Ballerstedt’s video _When Protein Is Not Protein_ or something very close to that. Those crude protein values listed for plants are not quality, digestible protein. Nitrates in plants can masquerade as higher protein levels than the plant actually contains.
I like coming here to see what information you can give us so we all can become much more critical thinkers rather than just fall in line with our corporate-profit-driven "health" industry. Ohhh, you just mentioned how foods with phytates inhibit ingestion of calcium--thank you!! Very rarely heard!
Oh Dr Berry! I am beyond frustrated. I shared a video(Dr Boz) on how a keto diet helps arthritis in my Ehlers Danlos group. NOPE. All the comments were keto is bad. I am crying. My excuciating tendonitis and knee pain has greatly improved on keto. I read post after post about pain management but no keto!!
Hello Dr. Barry you are 100% correct my former doctor was a small woman from India and she was 100% vegan and she swore to me that if I followed her simple diet of rice beans sweet potatoes fresh melon lots of fruits and vegetables that I would be just fine I followed her advice… And it wrecked my health and it even gave me horrible pains in my knees so after year on carnivore I have no pain I am now down 100 pounds I have you in a couple of the doctors to thank for it… So thank you… Also I was reading up on the insulin resistance diet and they’re saying the same thing fruits, vegetables, and whole grains believe it or not what a nightmare
Thanks Dr Berry. I would think that exercise is also important. Even if it is just walking each day. My wife and I walk 5 days a week for at least 1.8 miles and then we get another 2 miles in around the house etc. When we retire will walk much more.
Walking is a great exercise for body and mind … it is not a good exercise for building bone strength, though. And that’s demonstrated in research. Pole walking is better for bone health or supervised weight training. Keep on walking though, but you might need to investigate some other forms of exercise.
I’ve been walking much more but I just had my dexa scan n my bone density is really bad and I’m only 40. Doctor said have never seen such bad bone density for 40. He asked me to walk too but I check on RUclips walking doesn’t seem to help much for strengthening bone. I was on ppi and kept losing weight and had h.pylori. I’m not sure if ppi made my bones worse. RUclips everyone talks abt it but my gastro doc said it’s not proven. I’m curious if anyone feel thinning on their teeth because mine is super thin and weak now.
Happy Birthday Dr Berry!! I sent this video off to several people. I hope you have the BEST Birthday ever!! Thanks for sharing all of your Keto/Carnivore knowledge!! 🥳🥩🎉🧈🥓🥚🎊🎁.
You also get the good fats from those fish if you buy the canned kind that has the bones & skin, most of the fat is under the skin. The cooked skin is so soft that you really can't tell you're eating it along with the meat.
God there is SO much conflicting advice and recommendations out there. One says do this another say don't do that!! It's crazy because we are all trying to find our way within it all and knowing what's ACTUAL truth and fact is a minefield hey!!!! Thankyou for your content!!
This doctor is so right. NOne of my meat eating friends have broken any bones, yet three of my vegetarian friends have broken their wrist, or arm bones from falling just from their own height - this is not how bones work: Fractures occur when one falls from a height, not from ground level. I'm 77, have eaten red meat all my life, take tumbles all the time and even though I have been labelled as having osteoporosis, I have not broken any bones - no fractures either. touch wood. I do take a mild bio-identical estrogen, called estriol as well as progesterone and think that those may be helping. But, definitely you need meat, red meat provides carnitine which is a muscle building which bones need for their support.
Very timely!! Can you comment on taking supplemental calcium? I'm 64, a bit overweight and usually carnivore (but slacking off recently). A month ago I was blowing leaves in my driveway and fell full force onto my left hand. I knew as soon as I looked at my wrist that it was broken....my first ever broken bone. I thank God and the wise experts like you, Dr. Berry that I stopped starving myself to lose weight (never worked) and started eating good healthy meat and animal products. I can't even imagine what I would have done to my wrist if the same thing had happened before I lost 40 lbs on a carnivore diet the previous year.
Oh, I know that most doctors know very little about nutrition and supplements. That area was not covered in Medical schools. I've been told that by three of my friends who are doctors.
Thank you for making these informative videos, Dr. Berry. Interesting about low sodium and osteoporosis. My my always has low sodium and she has osteoporosis. Can you speak about this more extensively?
I'll stick to the meat I grow plenty of vegetables, I dry and pellet it up to grind into my b.s.f.l. and feed to my chickens,well what my wife doesn't eat,I get the eggs! Piss on big pharma drs Keep up the great work Dr Berry
Thank you so much for this video. I hope it helps especially those younger than me to avoid the on and off drug treatment and to jump on the PHD train with PT/strength exercises with no wavering. So thankful I found you to confirm what I already knew. Looking forward to upcoming dexa results in August. I hope to stop the Actonel again as I am past the year’s efficacy period. I am age 70. Would love to see you address MVP. Know salt and diet is important in addressing MVP.
@@junehouge1276 Thank you for the reply. I also have MVP. When did you learn that you have it? I hope you can share some of the things that you do to manage it.
As a past sports/athlete trainer, I have been saying the same thing about protein and salt, (and to keep away from dairy products). I was once publicly chastised by an "Olympian trainer" about salt and blood salts like potassium, I was told I was irresponsible and stupid for insisting my athletes use these.
Staying away from dairy or high calcium is a must. This may be the reason why western countries have all these bone issues while other cultures who don't drink milk do not have issues. We never evolved to process foods with so much calcium. What happens is the calcium need to get absorbed into the bones then removed causing the cells to literally wear out that build bone. I stopped all sources of high calcium for years without issue, diary calcium levels are just rediculous and overkill.
Hello Dr from South Africa,thank you so much for the always needful yet brilliant advice,I have started the keto diet,its 3 months on and am feeling great with energy and weightloss,no boats or lethargy as before,much appreciated Dr,
I just recently cut out sugar and am eating very low carb. I feel better than I have in years! I have tried to stay away from meat for many years and that was a mistake. I have high cholesterol and osteoporosis. So I did some research and decided to try low carbs and high fat, and meat. I'm loving it! I can't wait to see my bloodwork in October.
You didn't mention hyperparathyroid disease, doc! I have osteoporosis and had high calcium, and no one thought to check my PTH, until a sweet nurse practitioner had the intuition to check my PTH levels and it was 97! I'm in the process of doing the last imaging tests before surgery and thank God, I did my research. My endocrinologist was giving out of date information and wanted me to take Fosamax! He was dragging out the testing and appointments. I'd still be waiting for another test if I had let him tell me how to handle this disease. We patients have to educate ourselves and I thank you so much for providing the studies that we can take with us to our doctors. I was also told not to have too much salt because I have diastolic heart failure. Thanks to you, I ignored that advice. My sodium and chloride are both low on blood tests because I take strong diuretics to stay alive. I eat a LOT of salt, but I can't get those levels to normal.
I had hyperparathyriod and a parathyroid tumor removed. Took a while to get it diagnosed, the original endocrinologist said there was no problem. Thank goodness I kept searching.
Hello Doctor Berry. I would love to hear a video on rotator cuff health and preventing injury. Only asking now because I am currently recovering from a bad torn rotator cuff. I have gotten about 50% movement back in my right shoulder after having about only 1% movement, and it hurt like hell. I would rather other people are aware of this and afforded the opportunity to avoid the pain. Also, I am very active, at work and home. Injuries like this happen, but there are ways to prevent them.
I am a hockey goalie amd was ran in net, had shoulder surgery to repair everything. 4 months of PT and the biggest thing that helped & still does is that long hard spongy 4’ tube they have you lay on. Lay on it Fr tailbone up your spine & then slowly spread your arms out to side, like on a Cross. It helps core…haha trying to stay on it and the stretch is amazing. Ask your PT specialist about it. The rubber bands were essential as well.
They diagnosed me with both rotators as needing surgery. I said no and proceeded to supps and gentle weight-bearing exercises to 100% heal. Swam laps 40 mins straight at 64yrs old. Buncha sharks.
In my late 40's I was identified as having mild osteoporosis and was put on daily Calcium tablets. I had tests every year and despite the Calcium doses being increased it didn't improve the osteoporosis. Now in my 70's I have recently had a CAC score done and, surprise surprise, I have a very high Calcium score despite still having osteoporosis. So the tablets didn't help much except add to the other things that gave me heart disease.
First, some background: I am 73. All my life I have ignored the warnings against meat, fat and salt. But I was also eating carbs. And I was over weight. Eighteen months ago I gave up the carbs and started fasting but kept everything else the same. I went from 200 to 120. The accident: Last week I bought a sofa bed. As I was unpacking it, the strap holding the bed in the sofa snapped and the frame of the bed shot out like a cannon, hitting me squarely on both knee caps. I went down on the floor holding my knee caps and screaming. The pain was unbelievable and almost unbearable. But after a time I rebounded from the initial shock, and I realized nothing was broken. I was glad of that but expected at least some contusions. No, no bruises, no broken bones, no swelling, nothing…the next day it was like nothing had happened. I have great bones! So glad I ignored all those warnings and gave up the correct macronutrient! I feel younger, stronger and healthier than I have felt in 35 years!
As I sat in my doctor's office today and listened to her tell me I needed to take calcium for my osteoporosis all the things Dr. Berry has said and I'm just thinking, how do I find a doctor like Dr. Berry?
You once again hit it out of the park ! You got me into Keto along with Dr Berg , I am thinking I am stalling a bit so th shake it up I am going to try Beef, Bacon Butter and eggs that’s it , I think it may help with that last 10 to 15 pounds I need to shed. It will no doubt drive my goal cholesterol and LDL way up which is good because I like to give my doctor an apoplectic fit every now and then
You may want to give reducing fats a try to get your body going. Rotate days of lower fat with moderate fat. Increase protein. If you are in ketosis, eating low carb, using fat for fuel from your body, then you do not need to add excessive amounts of dietary fat to your meals. When you get to your goal weight, you can add back fat to stop losing fat. Never go below 40-50g of fat per day.
Hahahaha, Love your humor. Dr Westman from Adapt your Life just did a video on RUclips about Cholesterol which your Doctor should watch. hahaha Maybe your Dr. could learn from it :)
Fat doesn’t drive up ur LDL Wait 6 mos after ur finished losing wgt then go get a lipid panel Then tell ur dr u lowered it all & lost the wgt & maintained it six mos now By Eating FAT That will cause a fit like you don’t even wanna know! Lol
I found out that dairy was a huge cause of inflammation and what made me cough up thick mucous from my lungs. I gave up all carbs (except raspberries, strawberries and cranberries (nothing added)) still wasn't enough to lower my type 2 diabetes, giving up dairy was the other 1/2. Primarily carnivore, 5% keto.
I've heard that osteoporosis is a hormonal deficiency, that post menopausal women should be on HRT to protect their bones. Many women have exercised their whole lives, don't have sugar in their diet and eat a diet of unprocessed foods. My age of women, were told not to do HRT after menopause and so their bones got weaker. They say you can't fix it with diet and exercise because it is a hormonal problem, not a dietary problem. The HRT therapy is not for me, that boat has already sailed. What to do now?
In 2016 I was diagnosed with Osteopenia, which is early osteoporosis. Dr gave me a script for fosamax. I went and studied on it. Read some reviews from other Drs. It makes your bones HARDER not stronger. If you break a bone the bone can shatter instead of just breaking. It's worse than a break. Also you can get bone necrosis from taking it. Death of a bone. Pics of people's jaw bones after using this drug. The side effects sound as bad as the disease. So I didn't take it. My Dr never asked me if I took it because I mentioned the fosamax side effects and she said that was rare. So I think she knew I wasn't going to take it. Consequently I discovered cigarettes and cokes are detrimental to your bones(duh me). I finally quit in 2018. 3 years later in 2021 I had another bone density test. It was no better but it was no worse either. Stable they said. So in a couple of years when I have another test and I have been on keto/carnivore for a bit longer ( I started this year) I hope to have a great result. It could happen!
Docs are trained to push aside side effects. A friend of mine was once told something like “ it probably happened to one person, so they have to mention side effects “… meaning suggesting it is safe to ignore it
I just subscribed after watching this video. I am 90% Vegan and 10% Pescatarian. I will need to find an organic bone broth in capsules. Thank you, Dr. Berry!
So, question: I am 62 now, diagnosed with very, very advanced osteoporosis 9 months ago. Got the scan because I was having so many problems with my back ("out of the blue", was never someone with back issues,) though I still was skeptical that it could be osteoporosis. Now I think it's safe to say, after 3 inches of height loss (one inch just since January,) that fractures were happening for awhile. I've struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember, started Weight Watchers at 13, developed an eating disorder (they call it "intermittent fasting" now, basically I either ate everything I was going to eat in the morning, didn't eat the rest of the day, or, I'd binge for three days, not eat for the next four,) never got thin, though, have always been bigger boned and heavier muscled with a substantial layer of fat, which is annoying, and has kept me chasing a lower weight...unto this day, and maybe even more so since Hashimotos came on the scene about 15 years ago. Do you think my eating habits/early semi-extreme dieting are a factor in my current horrible bone health? I've now seen several medical professionals r/t this new condition, and maybe they figure the ship has sailed, no point in looking back, but not one has asked me about my dietary history. I'm still in the "healthy" weight range, but just barely. Maybe they figure "obviously she eats, obviously she doesn't try to lose weight, or she'd be thinner." Where reality is, now that I'm three inches shorter, I actually did fall into the "overweight" for my height category, and I guess my default is, as it always has been, "Lose five pounds, you'll at least LOOK better." (And I did lose--I've lost over ten pounds, and I do feel better, but...at what cost??) Edit: I do love salt, never have gone low salt. Also do eat animal protein, but it is very possible I don't absorb anything very well. Seeing a naturopath, she had me do a metabolic panel, found I was low in B vitamins, still not sure why, and high in everything that suggested I don't absorb/metabolize anything well. Working on that, for sure. Only evidence of change so far, I started taking Vit D with cod liver oil. (I'd been taking 5000 iu of D or more since covid, and wasn't "low" (depending on where you think we should be,) but wanted to get over 50. Welp, after just a few months, my Vit D was at 107. Whoops! Apparently, taking it with fat does indeed increase absorption. I actually lost weight when I went on Whole30, which was crazy, never had I eaten so much fat for so long (probably averaged 70% of my calories from fat,) never mind lost weight eating 1800-2000 calories per day. That was amazing...I've lived my whole life never feeling I got enough to eat (unless I binged, stretched every fold in my stomach out,) but on Whole30, I did. But, I also developed "burning mouth syndrome," now, I think. glossitis shortly after starting Whole30. I don't know if it's a nutritional deficiency, or what; it's been going on for several months now, haven't seen a doctor about it, but see my dentist in three weeks. I can tell you, this is one of the most annoying things that's ever happened to me, as now even my own spit tastes metallic, and though I'm still eating, it really makes me not want to bother. Any thoughts on what might be going on there? I've never been more nutritionally beefed up, you could say. This started before I started taking B Vits and the Bs haven't fixed it. Zinc hasn't fixed it. I DO have good oral hygiene (I think my receding gums might actually be less recessed, if that's possible.) I did also start wearing a mouth guard in April, but I quit wearing it, just to see--still not better. Rinsing twice a day with a mouthcare mouthwash. (It feels good, stings real nice--stronger than my own burn--gives me some mental relief, anyway.) Seriously, it's super hard to figure out how to be truly healthy. 😢😢
Dr. Berry, I love the way you tell us the honest truth about everything. My Doctor has a panic attack everytime she see's me. She wants me to be taking pills and injections for everything. I always refuse to do it. I do have a little high blood pressure but that is it for me and I'm greatful for my health and it is because I listen to you all the time and follow all you say I do eat a lot of prunes. I have heard they are great for making strong bones and if not they are good for other things...God Bless you Dr. Berry.
I found that 1/2 tsp in 16 oz. water, when low in salt, tastes slightly sweet. The Lowe I am, the sweeter it tastes. The same with magnesium. When I’ve had enough, it begins to be very slightly bitter in the very back of my tongue. If it tastes like that, I don’t drink it, because I don’t need it.
I'll use this advice to help my sister. She's a long-term mental-health patient in a home in the UK. She's been on strong medication for 40 years which has caused osteoporosis, and the home can't afford to feed the residents well, so I take her out once a week for a good lunch. Best I can do 😏
@@youngpullup6797 yeah, for a whole year she was shielded due to Covid, and I wasn't even allowed to take her out! Her mobility is now quite poor, and she can only walk short distances. Due to her condition she can only cope with one day out a week.

When my mom was diagnosed with thinning bones, she began to jump. Little hopps, repeatedly. Within one year, her bone loss was reversed
Great idea! Thank you, I can do that..Bunny Hops, might be 😊 fun..
Smart gal...
What did she do , how long and how often ? Thank you
@@bunnybubs757 She was in her early eighties then. As she cared for Dad, (who needed a full time nurse) she would hop a few inches up and down, feet together, several times a day.
Mom got her inspiration from hearing the details of my daughter's horrific car accident. My daughter broke her femur from the impact. The orthopedist (bone specialist/surgeon) said he'd never worked with a patient with stronger bones. My daughter had been active in high impact sports: dance, gymnastics, and all-star cheerleading. The doctor suspected this was the reason her bones were so strong.
I am 67 years old. I have had a DEXSCAN every two years for many years. My insurance has always covered it because it is considered to be a preventative. My last scan was in 2019 in Nebraska. I moved to Missouri later that year. It is now 2022. I asked my current primary care nurse practitioner if she could order a DEXASCAN. She said she could not order a scan unless I agreed to take a bisphosphonate. Very suspicious. AMA requirement? Or BIG PHARMA? I refused. In my opinion, they are poison. I made an appointment at an independent imaging office for this coming Thursday. Cost is $50. on the day of service. Cheap enough.
What the name of the imaging company and where.
Wonderful info.!! Plz be sure to take Vitamin K2 [Menaquinone]. It is a fermented substance. Mk7 form.
May want to watch "The End of Cardiovascular Disease & Osteoporosis", by John Whitcomb MD
In a nutshell, we have 2 proteins in us, just waiting to be activated by 👉 K2.
1st Protein, OSTEOCALCIN. Directs calcium into bone matrix. Without K2 - calcium Never goes to the right place, rather circulates in blood.
2] Protein is called Matrix Gla which pushes or prevents Ca from going into soft tissue & arteries.
That's why there is the cardiology diagnostic test called: CAC Score, Coronary Artery Calcification score.
But, there's no 💊 Rx to clear out calcification other than surgery.
Crazy why measure it & not offer solution Such as Menaquinone.
In Japan, fermented soybean called Natto, has the highest amount of K2.
Its smelly stuff & must have a taste for it. Nice thing it comes in capsul form.
👉 Well, the Northern 1/2 of Japan eats Natto and has low rates of hip fractures, unlike the South part of Japan that has not acquired a taste for it. 🤷🏻🤷🏻.
Lastly, K2 is no trend or fad.
3 Major studies verification, came out it 2017 called the Rotterdam: 4,000 ppl over 10 yrs. ✅✅
That is a bold faced lie and very manipulative!
In the UK had dexa, severe osteoporosis. Printout said medicalise re scan two years. I refused.
@@LM-qb6fuExplain
The most important point that was omitted here is that people need to move. Bone growth and strength occurs when stress is applied with muscle movement. Many health problems are related, or at least compounded, by a sedentary lifestyle. Walking around the block is not enough. Full body workouts incorporating weights is best. Running and jumping stimulates bone density and strength. You have to work your upper body as well.
My 84yo mother was told to go low sodium and she “fell” (likely fainted) and cracked her pelvis in two places. When she arrived in the ER her sodium was so low that they had to give her salt tablets immediately.
Sadly, this was the beginning of a long downward trend for her.
Thank you Doc for the fabulous wisdom!!
Yes, my 80yo neighbour was hospitalised for dizziness and weakness. Her medications had depleted her salt levels. She was sent home with instructions to eat more salt. I wonder how many elderly people aren't checked for low salt and are instead given yet another drug.
These Drs are awful. So sorry this happened.

My father was a carnivore (enjoyed it ),, very litlle vegees ( just to please my mother), ate some fruit as dessert, a warm glass of milk as a nightcap.
Daily took a walk early morning and after dinner.
Survived two serious falls (near 80 years old) some cuts and bruises but no broken bones !!!
He was no health fiend.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 you are very right !!!
I admire your directness and your courage to tell the truth.
Me too .
My mom took Fosamax. She also ate tums every day. She tried not to eat animal fats. First she broke one hip. Then she broke the other. She had lost about nine inches of height, partly because of collapsed vertebrae. I.would NOT take Fosamax.
Remember when every woman neededPremarin to prevent bone loss? Well, I took it for about 20 years. Now it is a nono. I am 74 and have not lost even a fraction of my 5’2” height.
What we are told by our doctors can be crap. Anyone who thinks doctors are not making pharmaceuticals rich is crazy. We need to look elsewhere for our info and I, for one, am listening to Ken Berry! Carry on the good work, Doc!
Dr. Berry, I recently had a checkup with my primary care doctor. My bone density test showed a huge change in my osteoarthritis. He was stunned and stated he didn’t know why this change has occurred. Well, I got into my car to head home and wow, it came to me. I know what changed! It was the Proper Human Diet I’ve been on since March of 2021. I am also down 34 lbs and in great shape physically at 74 years old. All blood work is fabulous and off a couple of meds that were not good for me. Thank you for all you do and especially videos you put out to us so that we know how to better take care of ourselves. I am living testimony among many many others.
What's the proper human diet?
@@Seekingtruth-mx3ur I hope you’ve found this out by now, 10 months later. If not, you haven’t been watching Dr. Berry’s channel much, since he talks about it constantly. Please do yourself a favor if you haven’t watched any since then. 👍
Yayy!!! 😀 🥳 That’s awesome news! Good for you, and thanks for posting this! I started eating mostly carnivore a month ago to heal osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, leaky gut, and a host of other problems too numerous to mention. That’s totally great, and tells me I’m on the right path! 😀👍
@@susangrande8142 Thanks for concern. I have been watching this channel lately and now I know what the proper human diet is.
@@Seekingtruth-mx3ur Cool! 👍
We must stress our bones too. Lifting weights along with getting enough protein 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
Love all the wonderful info you give us
Happy Birthday Dr. Berry
Do you have a link to a research study which shows a causative study that wt lifting is essential to bone building? How about lifting babies, laundry, cleaning gutters? Hauling trash and green waste?
@@skyranchsoaps It does not matter how you stress the bones. Several studies show it helps. You can look them up easy enough yourself. Easy to Google and faster than expecting someone else to do if for you. Walking works. Lifting anything heavy works. But if you have a life style where you sit on your butt every day you half to something to stress them.
@@dawnelder9046 I can't lift anything over 10 lbs now, pinched nerve in my neck. I've been having physical therapy and using those exercise bands.
well.. bone stop growing in zero gravity , you can search nasa research about this
Eating a carinvore diet or keto is the best solution for strong bones, oh and overall health and prevention (as much as you can) from lifestyle disease
LIAR !!
LIAR !!
@@herbbowler2461 translated as Wild
BULLSHIT !
Eating a carnivore diet reduces life expectancy to about 40 years.
You can add 10 for keto.
I am almost 75.
I would have dead many years ago if i would have lived my life on either of those fad diets.
They don't work.
Why in the world have the medical community fallen for “research” done by big pharmacy money? This is one very important message you slipped in there that is so important. It should not even be allowed and is contaminated by greed.
I was told to take massive calcium supplements. Now my joints scream at me everyday. I stay away from doctors as far as I can. I still see my naturopath who can actually help me get better. I would trust you, Doc Berry. D3 and K2 everyday.
I fell for the Calcium supplements as well. Didn't need it, as I ate a lot of yogurt and occasional milk. A few months after the Calcium pills, I spent an evening in the ER passing a kidney stone! I just knew right away the pills did it and threw them away. It has been 10 years and have yet to get another.
I also ignored that advice. I've seen that we need MK 7, a form of Vit K, I think. It's supposed to get the calcium into the bones and not the soft tissue, as in our arteries!
I took large quantities of calcium as recommended.
After a decade or more I realized that if the calcium supplements were in all tissues of my body then not only my bones but my heart (muscle ) would be affected.
Due to chronic back pain I was desperate and tried dry needling with a therapist who also advised stretches. He let me go because after several attempts over weeks his needles didn’t achieve the goal but bent at right angles! At this point I stopped calcium pills and have tried to follow dietary options.
@@marylynndevito7983😊
I supplement with eggshell calcium I make with pastured eggs that I dry and sterilize in the oven. Then crush to a powder with a little coffee grinder. Take with water up to a teaspoon a day. 1/2 tsp is 400 mg of very bioavailable calcium. Directions are on the internet. I have to say here that keto for over 5 years damaged my thyroid, weakened my bones and raised my blood pressure. IF encouraged undereating and I began to gain weight. I have stopped low carb as our bodies first must use glucose for energy. The secondary method is creating glucose from a stress pathway using stress hormones of cortisol and adrenaline. That puts stress on your body and brain and takes what it needs to make glucose by basically eating your organs and tissues-thyroid, liver, brain function, arteries, etc. it’s ok for awhile but caused damage after so many years. My functional medicine doc didn’t even know this after I spent upwards of $8,000.00.
Its unforgivable that after all the years of scientific research the numbers of supposed health professionals are still peddling the same old miss information on so many health related issues. Thankyou Dr Berry for speaking up to challenge the status quo.
That's exactly why I refuse any new and rushed expiremental shots. My health is more important that someone's $$$
Big pharma pushing this shit to expand their wealth not your health. They don't care about your health.
I feel better to have one shake meal a day but I'm confused about Soy, Plant or Whey. All need to have more protein.
@@sunbonnet7girl From what I’ve read, soy is a poor source of protein. I used to eat a ton of soy and I think it ruined my thyroid.
I'm right there with you...always pissing Drs off because I do my research...always. I think it's hilarious. They should know better. Thanks for sharing your intelligence & candor.
Pamela, same here. I thought I found a great DO, but as the appointment progressed and I was asking questions,
she asked me what sources I use on the internet. Wow. What made me question her was she had no idea who Dr. Joe Mercola was.
Most docs are arrogant and think everyone is beneath them intellectually
Now I just say, "Dr. Google says..."
I used to have many tussles with my doctor. Then I changed to a better doctor.
Thank you doc! I fractured my ankle 2 weeks ago and had surgery yesterday. I appreciate the advice on building STRONG bones.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on how to personally take care of your own health. Thank you Dr. Berry. You are a one in a million healing physician!
Dr. Berry... you gave me my life back!! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be getting well. I was in such bad shape and on dozens of meds, looking at a shortened life span and waisting so much money on specialists and tests and meds and equipment and giving myself injections of scary toxins that could make my life worse.
I am so thankful for you and your videos. Thank you for teaching me (and thousands of others) how live a longer and healthier life and for giving me the courage to stand up and fight for my health and my life. The specialists in my life had me scared to death and I felt like I had nothing to look forward to. Then I found your videos and I am improving and feeling better than I have in a very long time with so much to look forward to! With keto my type 2 diabetes is gone, my blood pressure is normal, no more migraines, macular degeneration gone in my left eye, confirmed twice! No more meds!! And now with eating strict Carnivore for 3 weeks my RA, OA, Inflammatory Arthritis and Fibromyalgia are healing. I have very little pain now and I have never felt better. Thanks to you and Neisha. My husband and I can never thank you enough and will be supporting you to help you keep sharing your videos and saving people's lives. Please keep doing what you're doing!!!
Absolutely. For Forty years I've been telling friends of mine that they were doing their children a great disservice, if not killing them. The latter part I didn't tell them, but I wanted to. They put their very young children on a vegetarian diet. I told them that that was like giving them Cyanide in their formula. Young children,and for that matter, all children need animal protein to grow and flourish. They told me that I was out of my mind. After being treated like that, I gave up. I also had friends and family ask me what to do medically. After hearing my opinion they ended the conversation and I didn't hear from them for some years.
You try to do something good for people and they treat you like the plague. I didn't volunteer my help, they asked for it. I put them into my dead file.
damn. Some people are just ungreatful. I wish I had real friends like you growing up.
Are you a doctor that they ask you what to do medically? Or do you just mean they asked q question that was medical in nature?
Yeah, no great loss, some people are unfortunately just energy thieves. Best to identify them as soon as possible and avoid them.
You tried and that’s all you can do. And anyone who puts a child on a vegetarian diet needs a reprogramming.Unfortunately it is difficult to maintain friendships, over time . I have one lifelong friend unfortunately far away but with today’s tech easy to keep in touch, another old neighbor friend since1974. ( I am dating myself!) and another great friend a few hours away who is almost always on the same page as me! No-one has hundreds of friends, a few really good ones or one is just fine. It hurts to lose friends and family members to things that are ridiculous but maintain the high road, forgive and forget and move on. They are the ones losing out, not you.
excuse me, but my child was raised vegetarian and he is a healthy tall young lad! doesnt drink or smoke and works out. do not say anyonne who puts a child on veg diet needs reprogramming!
KEN!!! A video about "eating for comfort" ideology vs eating for health would probably help people alot.
I love the education that you provide Dr Berry. I am yet to find a Doctor like you in South Australia with the same knowledge and teaching it too. I am sure Australia will catch up one day. My Kidney Specialist said he can't help me when I saw him recently. Just told me to eat fish in my diet. The one before him told me, don't eat bananas and the one before then said drink up to 3 coffees a day and stop eating red meat. Thank God you are on RUclips !!! As they say, there is always hope..just look in a different direction if you're not seeing any. :)

yeah me too and it is much better than taking an anti depressant
I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for doing what most doctors should do but won’t. You try to get to the root of our health problems and guide us to healing ourselves. I recently started a Keto diet. It’s still a bit of a struggle but giving up is not an option. I’m a FORMER smoker, high carb eater and low physical exerciser. Because of the high level of poisons I have put in my body for 66 years, I am now fighting cancer, diabetes with neuropathy and hypothyroidism. I’m on immunotherapy for the cancer (already had chemo and radiation). Metformin for the diabetes and Levothyroxine for thyroid. The cancer will go away, of that I personally am certain. Eventually so will the diabetes and hypothyroidism. But I’m going to help my body heal by stopping the ingestion of slow poison. This is for the whole community. The only problem I have with Keto is trying to keep carbs at 20 or less per day. Any suggestions? My body tells me in no uncertain terms when I have gone over the 20 carbs which happens everyday.
Intermittent fasting will help all your problems. And you need the Keto diet badly.
Hi Donna's stitch in time. I was the worst carb addict ever. I phased out carbs in stages. Fruit was the last to go. Now I stick with a green salad (arugula and celery, sometimes onion or tomatoe) & beef, fish or eggs. After a little while the carb cravings will reduce & then disappear. I did it gradually, but one day I was having dinner with a friend who was eating bread. I had zero desire for the bread. It was shocking to me!!! You can do it too. Good luck and keep up your positive attitude. Blessings to you.🙏🌹🕊
T3 added to the T4 improves symptoms of Hypothyroidism.
Problem is, doctors are ill informed.
Curious about the Soy. I hadn’t heard that.
My osteoporosis advisor nearly cried for me because I am allergic to dairy. They did recommend an injection which I put a stop to.
For all the almonds I ate and green leafy veggies I now have high oxalate content in my body.
But, getting back to Soy, it makes me irritable. I’ve tried to eat it but don’t like the hot tempered creep that I become. I added it to my allergy list.

I was told this year, my bones were only 92% of a young person. I'm 66 and this year I started Keto, and walking the dog to exorcize. I'm down 40 currently. Still can't give up low-carb veggies. I need the fiber.
All Carbs. are 'non essential' and all 'fiber' is non essential. No human needs fiber. Dr. Berry talked about the fiber myth in one of his videos.
There is nothing wrong with including low carb veg. I enjoy them and many of us can handle them fine. I have actually had less constipation with less and less fiber though.
I started taking magnesium every night and I'm regular for the first time ever.
Well, continue to eat low carb veggies, as it sounds like to me that you are doing great.
We’re you trying to exorcize your dog by walking it? 🤪
Had a Lipoma Removed, No Big deal, they did do a MAC and local. they sent list what to do after the surgery . Reading the list says ( eat foods high in Fiber, As in Fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Eat smaller meals 5 to 6 times a day.
A person would think a protein diet would be more effective in healing after a surgery. I would say I felt better faster sticking to meat.

Wolff's Law states that your bones will adapt based on the stress or demands placed on them. When you work your muscles, they put stress on your bones. In response, your bone tissue remodels and becomes stronger.

Good video. Bone density is how much bone is present, but more bone that is just as brittle doesn't do much. I think having higher bone density is still good, but it's not a stand in for strong bones.
Thank you SO much, Dr. Berry, for your videos and references on osteoporosis! The PHD has cured my hypertension, obesity, and joint pain. Only the OP remains, and I don't have the personality to continue fighting with my doctors over the awful medications they want me to take, so I have been avoiding them. Fortunately, I can, since I am healthier now.
You can't really fight. The will put "compliance problems" into your file. Then other physicians will see it in the files and will act accordingly. It is messed up.

"Alcohol is poison." Well, of course you're correct. But enjoying a delicious craft beer, a glass of wine, or an occasional cocktail, is one of life's sweet pleasures, and that counts for something, too.
So grateful to you Dr Berry for always getting the truth out there. We think the world of you!
The bone specialist in Canada didn’t give me any advice regarding food or exercise, instead she gave me a bag full of samples of medications for bone, that you take once a week. I took the bag and it made it to pharmacy as a return. Never went back to this “ specialist”.
Dr. Berry, med schools need your knowledge. Doctors, NPs, PAs need this education in their programs. Instead of a day long class on nutrition that focuses on medications to “fix” diseases related to nutritional deficiencies, a semester of Dr. Berry’s nutritional education would change lives forever!
I whole-heartedly agree!!!
Thank You....been DX with osteoporosis....every thing my MD has recommended you blew out of the water ....was a low calorie....low fat follower as per MD recommend for years only to loose the to gain more back ...Hubby and I have been keto/more carnivore this past year...I’m down 60 lbs. hubby 40 lbs. blood work excellent, we don’t feel deprived,depressed....totally opposite.....we are 70 yrs young.....Merry Christmas 🎄 cheers from Pennsylvania 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My older sister gave in and received the IV bone medicine and has almost lost her jaw and now has bad teeth. Dentist won't touch her, now she needs a total hip and her spine is a mess. Years ago I tried some of the oral medications and they tore up my stomach. Now I have gastric sleeve, increased my meat intake, going lower carb working to very low carb. No more scans, doing well. Thank you for your advice.
Better to be pissed off than pissed on.😄
Hi, now that it has been a year, I would love to heard from those of you whom followed Dr. Berry advise and how your osteoporosis is doing.
@@denisemariani6958 😆😆😆😂😂😂😂🥂🍾👏👏.
As 1/2 Ojibwe given up at birth .. I fought my weight all my life until I discovered Paleo .. Giving up Grains and useless carbs has saved me. Which took until diverticulitis erupted and took 4ft of colin. Almost killed me .. I am toughy who waited until the pain forced me to the hospital. Where I was sesptic for at least week. That wasn't the end .. Yet
Sending love and healing thoughts your way, Rhonda. Stay strong.!! Your on the right track.!!
Very Sincere Honest Intelligent Doctor . Do I even have to mention Brave and Bold ?! Thank you , I will be watching and listening more often.
Here in New Zealand, the doctors would probably recommend eating plenty of dairy food to get enough calcium. I've never been a fan of milk on its own, but I enjoy cheese, and have cream, sour cream, cream cheese and yoghurt from time to time. I see no problem with eating these as part of a proper human diet.
Dairy is what actually causes issues with bones, the high calcium which humans never evolved to eat, causes bones to literally wear iut as the calcium needs to be buffered in the bones after eating as to not cause too much in the blood. I stopped eating dairy because of this. I eat almost no calcium, just like asians do and who dont have all these bone issues like dairy eating westerners do.
Wow, thank you ❤
It's a joy sharing your videos Dr Berry, they helped me so i want them to help others live a healrhy life. Thank you and God blessings to you and your family.
Been eating a proper human diet for a couple years, and still learning new things all the time, thank you Dr Berry! My mom and I check every high-risk box for osteoporosis and your videos helped me convince her to throw out her calcium supplement and not go on Fosamax or similar drug being "offered" by her Dr
Fosamax is for the birds !
Literally...lol!
The "stuff" behind you is so classic! I believe that's a bust of Hippocrates over your right shoulder; the wise ol' owl over your left. You also have long-seeing binocs for your wisdom, and the gyroscope is lots of fun to play with, which gives an indicaiton of your physics education. The flask and stethoscope are also très super ! Cool, Doc!!!
I've literally two days ago been diagnosed with Severe osteoporosis and I've had coeliac disease for one year all this was diagnosed due to me having had covid 19 and I'm 18moths into a long covid relapse. I've been prescribed calcium tablets and Vitamin D - but my vitamin D levels show up as being normal... I'm totally confused by my GP's advice- I'm so glad that I've stumbled across your channel 👏👏👏Thank you for putting this info out there - I'm from England by the way 🇬🇧
You make so much sense. I am new to listening to you, but for weeks I’ve been excited to get in the car and listen.
Thank you for your informative videos Dr. Berry!
I realized what you are talking about especially when my 80 yr old mom was craving meat and she had terrible osteoporosis actually worse after taking Fosamax till she just couldn't tolerate it anymore.
I recommend watching Mr Ballerstedt’s video _When Protein Is Not Protein_ or something very close to that. Those crude protein values listed for plants are not quality, digestible protein. Nitrates in plants can masquerade as higher protein levels than the plant actually contains.
Excellent advice, right here. 👍
Have a very Happy Birthday Dr Berry. 🎉🎁
Thanks for sharing, & take care too everybody. ❤🙂🎅🎄
I like coming here to see what information you can give us so we all can become much more critical thinkers rather than just fall in line with our corporate-profit-driven "health" industry.
Ohhh, you just mentioned how foods with phytates inhibit ingestion of calcium--thank you!! Very rarely heard!
Oh Dr Berry! I am beyond frustrated. I shared a video(Dr Boz) on how a keto diet helps arthritis in my Ehlers Danlos group. NOPE. All the comments were keto is bad. I am crying. My excuciating tendonitis and knee pain has greatly improved on keto. I read post after post about pain management but no keto!!
Hello Dr. Barry you are 100% correct my former doctor was a small woman from India and she was 100% vegan and she swore to me that if I followed her simple diet of rice beans sweet potatoes fresh melon lots of fruits and vegetables that I would be just fine I followed her advice… And it wrecked my health and it even gave me horrible pains in my knees so after year on carnivore I have no pain I am now down 100 pounds I have you in a couple of the doctors to thank for it… So thank you… Also I was reading up on the insulin resistance diet and they’re saying the same thing fruits, vegetables, and whole grains believe it or not what a nightmare
Well, you now know some doctors are liars.
Thanks Dr Berry. I would think that exercise is also important. Even if it is just walking each day. My wife and I walk 5 days a week for at least 1.8 miles and then we get another 2 miles in around the house etc. When we retire will walk much more.
Walking is a great exercise for body and mind … it is not a good exercise for building bone strength, though. And that’s demonstrated in research. Pole walking is better for bone health or supervised weight training. Keep on walking though, but you might need to investigate some other forms of exercise.
I’ve been walking much more but I just had my dexa scan n my bone density is really bad and I’m only 40. Doctor said have never seen such bad bone density for 40. He asked me to walk too but I check on RUclips walking doesn’t seem to help much for strengthening bone. I was on ppi and kept losing weight and had h.pylori. I’m not sure if ppi made my bones worse. RUclips everyone talks abt it but my gastro doc said it’s not proven. I’m curious if anyone feel thinning on their teeth because mine is super thin and weak now.
Thank you for that helpful information, Dr Berry🙂
thanks Doc, not often does one offer good advice with no hidden agenda
Happy Birthday Dr Berry!! I sent this video off to several people. I hope you have the BEST Birthday ever!! Thanks for sharing all of your Keto/Carnivore knowledge!! 🥳🥩🎉🧈🥓🥚🎊🎁.
Well said sardines and wild salmon are great too because of the protein and the small bones and the skin. The small bines are great for calcium
You also get the good fats from those fish if you buy the canned kind that has the bones & skin, most of the fat is under the skin. The cooked skin is so soft that you really can't tell you're eating it along with the meat.
God there is SO much conflicting advice and recommendations out there. One says do this another say don't do that!! It's crazy because we are all trying to find our way within it all and knowing what's ACTUAL truth and fact is a minefield hey!!!!
Thankyou for your content!!
This doctor is so right. NOne of my meat eating friends have broken any bones, yet three of my vegetarian friends have broken their wrist, or arm bones from falling just from their own height - this is not how bones work: Fractures occur when one falls from a height, not from ground level. I'm 77, have eaten red meat all my life, take tumbles all the time and even though I have been labelled as having osteoporosis, I have not broken any bones - no fractures either. touch wood. I do take a mild bio-identical estrogen, called estriol as well as progesterone and think that those may be helping. But, definitely you need meat, red meat provides carnitine which is a muscle building which bones need for their support.
Very timely!! Can you comment on taking supplemental calcium? I'm 64, a bit overweight and usually carnivore (but slacking off recently). A month ago I was blowing leaves in my driveway and fell full force onto my left hand. I knew as soon as I looked at my wrist that it was broken....my first ever broken bone. I thank God and the wise experts like you, Dr. Berry that I stopped starving myself to lose weight (never worked) and started eating good healthy meat and animal products. I can't even imagine what I would have done to my wrist if the same thing had happened before I lost 40 lbs on a carnivore diet the previous year.
Not as a supplement; diet only.
Calcium supplements found, in large study, to lead to cardiac issues.
Thank you for sharing the truth! God bless you Dr Berry.
Oh, I know that most doctors know very little about nutrition and supplements. That area was not covered in Medical schools. I've been told that by three of my friends who are doctors.
You’ve sure explained a lot of my food cravings! Thanks 🤩
Thank you! You have become my doctor in the past year!
Thank you for making these informative videos, Dr. Berry. Interesting about low sodium and osteoporosis. My my always has low sodium and she has osteoporosis. Can you speak about this more extensively?
Great video, I eat a lot of red meat, eggs and other animal foods. I also lift weights which are great for bones.
Much respect for anyone saying the truth 💪👏
I'll stick to the meat
I grow plenty of vegetables, I dry and pellet it up to grind into my b.s.f.l. and feed to my chickens,well what my wife doesn't eat,I get the eggs! Piss on big pharma drs
Keep up the great work Dr Berry
Thank you so much for this video. I hope it helps especially those younger than me to avoid the on and off drug treatment and to jump on the PHD train with PT/strength exercises with no wavering. So thankful I found you to confirm what I already knew. Looking forward to upcoming dexa results in August. I hope to stop the Actonel again as I am past the year’s efficacy period. I am age 70. Would love to see you address MVP. Know salt and diet is important in addressing MVP.
@June Houge Hi, may I know what does MVP mean in your post? Thank you.

As a past sports/athlete trainer, I have been saying the same thing about protein and salt, (and to keep away from dairy products). I was once publicly chastised by an "Olympian trainer" about salt and blood salts like potassium, I was told I was irresponsible and stupid for insisting my athletes use these.
Staying away from dairy or high calcium is a must. This may be the reason why western countries have all these bone issues while other cultures who don't drink milk do not have issues. We never evolved to process foods with so much calcium. What happens is the calcium need to get absorbed into the bones then removed causing the cells to literally wear out that build bone. I stopped all sources of high calcium for years without issue, diary calcium levels are just rediculous and overkill.
Hello Dr from South Africa,thank you so much for the always needful yet brilliant advice,I have started the keto diet,its 3 months on and am feeling great with energy and weightloss,no boats or lethargy as before,much appreciated Dr,
I just recently cut out sugar and am eating very low carb. I feel better than I have in years!
I have tried to stay away from meat for many years and that was a mistake. I have high cholesterol and osteoporosis. So I did some research and decided to try low carbs and high fat, and meat. I'm loving it! I can't wait to see my bloodwork in October.
You didn't mention hyperparathyroid disease, doc! I have osteoporosis and had high calcium, and no one thought to check my PTH, until a sweet nurse practitioner had the intuition to check my PTH levels and it was 97! I'm in the process of doing the last imaging tests before surgery and thank God, I did my research. My endocrinologist was giving out of date information and wanted me to take Fosamax! He was dragging out the testing and appointments. I'd still be waiting for another test if I had let him tell me how to handle this disease. We patients have to educate ourselves and I thank you so much for providing the studies that we can take with us to our doctors. I was also told not to have too much salt because I have diastolic heart failure. Thanks to you, I ignored that advice. My sodium and chloride are both low on blood tests because I take strong diuretics to stay alive. I eat a LOT of salt, but I can't get those levels to normal.
I had hyperparathyriod and a parathyroid tumor removed. Took a while to get it diagnosed, the original endocrinologist said there was no problem. Thank goodness I kept searching.
I started the keto diet a few weeks ago when I found out I was diabetic my weight was 226 today I weigh 199
Wow~That's Excellent🤩👏🎉:)
Without a strong frame we are lost. Bone structure is vital later in life, I know it matters for me at age 56.
Maybe, but won't help if you have cardiac disease from this very bad advice.

Hello Doctor Berry.
I would love to hear a video on rotator cuff health and preventing injury. Only asking now because I am currently recovering from a bad torn rotator cuff. I have gotten about 50% movement back in my right shoulder after having about only 1% movement, and it hurt like hell. I would rather other people are aware of this and afforded the opportunity to avoid the pain.
Also, I am very active, at work and home. Injuries like this happen, but there are ways to prevent them.
I am a hockey goalie amd was ran in net, had shoulder surgery to repair everything. 4 months of PT and the biggest thing that helped & still does is that long hard spongy 4’ tube they have you lay on. Lay on it Fr tailbone up your spine & then slowly spread your arms out to side, like on a Cross. It helps core…haha trying to stay on it and the stretch is amazing. Ask your PT specialist about it. The rubber bands were essential as well.
They diagnosed me with both rotators as needing surgery. I said no and proceeded to supps and gentle weight-bearing exercises to 100% heal. Swam laps 40 mins straight at 64yrs old. Buncha sharks.
In my late 40's I was identified as having mild osteoporosis and was put on daily Calcium tablets. I had tests every year and despite the Calcium doses being increased it didn't improve the osteoporosis. Now in my 70's I have recently had a CAC score done and, surprise surprise, I have a very high Calcium score despite still having osteoporosis. So the tablets didn't help much except add to the other things that gave me heart disease.
Vitamin K2 makes sure calcium goes to bones and not to soft tissues.
First, some background: I am 73. All my life I have ignored the warnings against meat, fat and salt. But I was also eating carbs. And I was over weight. Eighteen months ago I gave up the carbs and started fasting but kept everything else the same. I went from 200 to 120.
The accident: Last week I bought a sofa bed. As I was unpacking it, the strap holding the bed in the sofa snapped and the frame of the bed shot out like a cannon, hitting me squarely on both knee caps. I went down on the floor holding my knee caps and screaming. The pain was unbelievable and almost unbearable. But after a time I rebounded from the initial shock, and I realized nothing was broken. I was glad of that but expected at least some contusions. No, no bruises, no broken bones, no swelling, nothing…the next day it was like nothing had happened. I have great bones! So glad I ignored all those warnings and gave up the correct macronutrient! I feel younger, stronger and healthier than I have felt in 35 years!
As I sat in my doctor's office today and listened to her tell me I needed to take calcium for my osteoporosis all the things Dr. Berry has said and I'm just thinking, how do I find a doctor like Dr. Berry?
Search for a functional medicine doctor, or integrative physician.
You once again hit it out of the park !
You got me into Keto along with Dr Berg , I am thinking I am stalling a bit so th shake it up I am going to try
Beef, Bacon Butter and eggs that’s it , I think it may help with that last 10 to 15 pounds I need to shed. It will no doubt drive my goal cholesterol and LDL way up which is good because I like to give my doctor an apoplectic fit every now and then
You may want to give reducing fats a try to get your body going. Rotate days of lower fat with moderate fat. Increase protein. If you are in ketosis, eating low carb, using fat for fuel from your body, then you do not need to add excessive amounts of dietary fat to your meals. When you get to your goal weight, you can add back fat to stop losing fat. Never go below 40-50g of fat per day.
Hahahaha, Love your humor. Dr Westman from Adapt your Life just did a video on RUclips about Cholesterol which your Doctor should watch. hahaha Maybe your Dr. could learn from it :)
Fat doesn’t drive up ur LDL
Wait 6 mos after ur finished losing wgt then go get a lipid panel
Then tell ur dr u lowered it all & lost the wgt & maintained it six mos now By Eating FAT
That will cause a fit like you don’t even wanna know! Lol
😂
Maybe get a little more variety than that, doesn't need to be just animal stuff, avacados for example.
The actions of drug companies is unethical and I'm thankful for Dr. Berry
Can you do a video on your thoughts of eating raw meat? Some people do this and report health benefits. I'd like to know what you think.
I found out that dairy was a huge cause of inflammation and what made me cough up thick mucous from my lungs. I gave up all carbs (except raspberries, strawberries and cranberries (nothing added)) still wasn't enough to lower my type 2 diabetes, giving up dairy was the other 1/2. Primarily carnivore, 5% keto.
Truly raw dairy is key, especially beyond age 40.
I've heard that osteoporosis is a hormonal deficiency, that post menopausal women should be on HRT to protect their bones. Many women have exercised their whole lives, don't have sugar in their diet and eat a diet of unprocessed foods. My age of women, were told not to do HRT after menopause and so their bones got weaker. They say you can't fix it with diet and exercise because it is a hormonal problem, not a dietary problem. The HRT therapy is not for me, that boat has already sailed. What to do now?
it's good to have you on our side ;)
Thank you so much for all the informative information you share and your honesty, no wonder I subscribed.
Was eating beef and eggs when I watched this video 😂. Seasoned with Redmond's 👍. Great video as always, thanks!
Happy birthday Dr Berry!! Thanks for the video 😁❤️🎉
Thank You so much for the truth!
In 2016 I was diagnosed with Osteopenia, which is early osteoporosis. Dr gave me a script for fosamax. I went and studied on it. Read some reviews from other Drs. It makes your bones HARDER not stronger. If you break a bone the bone can shatter instead of just breaking. It's worse than a break. Also you can get bone necrosis from taking it. Death of a bone. Pics of people's jaw bones after using this drug. The side effects sound as bad as the disease. So I didn't take it. My Dr never asked me if I took it because I mentioned the fosamax side effects and she said that was rare. So I think she knew I wasn't going to take it. Consequently I discovered cigarettes and cokes are detrimental to your bones(duh me). I finally quit in 2018. 3 years later in 2021 I had another bone density test. It was no better but it was no worse either. Stable they said. So in a couple of years when I have another test and I have been on keto/carnivore for a bit longer ( I started this year) I hope to have a great result. It could happen!
Let us know how it goes.
Docs are trained to push aside side effects. A friend of mine was once told something like “ it probably happened to one person, so they have to mention side effects “… meaning suggesting it is safe to ignore it
I just subscribed after watching this video. I am 90% Vegan and 10% Pescatarian. I will need to find an organic bone broth in capsules. Thank you, Dr. Berry!
So, question: I am 62 now, diagnosed with very, very advanced osteoporosis 9 months ago. Got the scan because I was having so many problems with my back ("out of the blue", was never someone with back issues,) though I still was skeptical that it could be osteoporosis. Now I think it's safe to say, after 3 inches of height loss (one inch just since January,) that fractures were happening for awhile.
I've struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember, started Weight Watchers at 13, developed an eating disorder (they call it "intermittent fasting" now, basically I either ate everything I was going to eat in the morning, didn't eat the rest of the day, or, I'd binge for three days, not eat for the next four,) never got thin, though, have always been bigger boned and heavier muscled with a substantial layer of fat, which is annoying, and has kept me chasing a lower weight...unto this day, and maybe even more so since Hashimotos came on the scene about 15 years ago.
Do you think my eating habits/early semi-extreme dieting are a factor in my current horrible bone health?
I've now seen several medical professionals r/t this new condition, and maybe they figure the ship has sailed, no point in looking back, but not one has asked me about my dietary history. I'm still in the "healthy" weight range, but just barely. Maybe they figure "obviously she eats, obviously she doesn't try to lose weight, or she'd be thinner." Where reality is, now that I'm three inches shorter, I actually did fall into the "overweight" for my height category, and I guess my default is, as it always has been, "Lose five pounds, you'll at least LOOK better." (And I did lose--I've lost over ten pounds, and I do feel better, but...at what cost??)
Edit: I do love salt, never have gone low salt. Also do eat animal protein, but it is very possible I don't absorb anything very well. Seeing a naturopath, she had me do a metabolic panel, found I was low in B vitamins, still not sure why, and high in everything that suggested I don't absorb/metabolize anything well. Working on that, for sure. Only evidence of change so far, I started taking Vit D with cod liver oil. (I'd been taking 5000 iu of D or more since covid, and wasn't "low" (depending on where you think we should be,) but wanted to get over 50. Welp, after just a few months, my Vit D was at 107. Whoops! Apparently, taking it with fat does indeed increase absorption. I actually lost weight when I went on Whole30, which was crazy, never had I eaten so much fat for so long (probably averaged 70% of my calories from fat,) never mind lost weight eating 1800-2000 calories per day. That was amazing...I've lived my whole life never feeling I got enough to eat (unless I binged, stretched every fold in my stomach out,) but on Whole30, I did. But, I also developed "burning mouth syndrome," now, I think. glossitis shortly after starting Whole30. I don't know if it's a nutritional deficiency, or what; it's been going on for several months now, haven't seen a doctor about it, but see my dentist in three weeks. I can tell you, this is one of the most annoying things that's ever happened to me, as now even my own spit tastes metallic, and though I'm still eating, it really makes me not want to bother. Any thoughts on what might be going on there? I've never been more nutritionally beefed up, you could say. This started before I started taking B Vits and the Bs haven't fixed it. Zinc hasn't fixed it. I DO have good oral hygiene (I think my receding gums might actually be less recessed, if that's possible.) I did also start wearing a mouth guard in April, but I quit wearing it, just to see--still not better. Rinsing twice a day with a mouthcare mouthwash. (It feels good, stings real nice--stronger than my own burn--gives me some mental relief, anyway.) Seriously, it's super hard to figure out how to be truly healthy. 😢😢
Do you eat a lot of calcium or dairy in your diet?
Dr. Berry, I love the way you tell us the honest truth about everything. My Doctor has a panic attack everytime she see's me. She wants me to be taking pills and injections for everything. I always refuse to do it. I do have a little high blood pressure but that is it for me and I'm greatful for my health and it is because I listen to you all the time and follow all you say I do eat a lot of prunes. I have heard they are great for making strong bones and if not they are good for other things...God Bless you Dr. Berry.
Hi Dr. Berry, thank you so much for such an educational video! Very informative. I’m enjoying all your videos, very reassuring to me! Regards
Another clear and message conveying video from Dr. Berry. Thank you!
Thank you for the practical advice, Dr Ken!
I found that 1/2 tsp in 16 oz. water, when low in salt, tastes slightly sweet. The Lowe I am, the sweeter it tastes. The same with magnesium. When I’ve had enough, it begins to be very slightly bitter in the very back of my tongue. If it tastes like that, I don’t drink it, because I don’t need it.
Half tsp of what?
I'll use this advice to help my sister. She's a long-term mental-health patient in a home in the UK. She's been on strong medication for 40 years which has caused osteoporosis, and the home can't afford to feed the residents well, so I take her out once a week for a good lunch. Best I can do 😏
A healthy serving of red meat a week will be a benefit for her. She's lucky to have you
Do what you can. Love means a lot.
Try do a lil more for ur sis if u think ur doing enough! It’s because your not , take care of ur sister while she is here ! Be ur sister keeper
@@youngpullup6797 yeah, for a whole year she was shielded due to Covid, and I wasn't even allowed to take her out! Her mobility is now quite poor, and she can only walk short distances. Due to her condition she can only cope with one day out a week.
