5:27 How can we switch things back?
Today weâre going to talk about oxidative stress and viruses.
Oxidative stress is basically a situation where you have an imbalance of too much oxidation and not enough antioxidants.
Your body makes both oxidants and antioxidants.
1. Endogenous oxidation is the oxidation that your own body creates-it comes from within.
2. Exogenous oxidation is coming from outside of the body. A few examples would be: pollution, smoking, and consuming refined carbs and sugar.
With the COVID-19 virus, on a blood test, youâll likely see high amounts of neutrophils and low lymphocytes.
Neutrophils release both hydrogen peroxide and bleach as weapons against the virus, but this creates a lot of oxidation. So, the immune system is creating a lot of oxidation in response to COVID-19 or some other virus. The virus is also creating more immune reactions, which contributes to even more oxidation.
There are also risk factors related to COVID-19 that can create oxidation, such as:
⢠Diabetes
⢠Obesity
⢠High blood pressure
With these pre-existing conditions, the endogenous antioxidants are way low. So, there is an imbalance created from the virus itself, the immune reaction, and the pre-existing condition.
To have a long healthy life and minimize the complications of this condition and the side effects of the viral infection, you need to bring your antioxidants up and your oxidation down.
Viruses like COVID-19 also attack the mitochondria. This is called apoptosis-your cells are dying. But, some cells will survive and adapt. Because the normal machinery to burn fuel is damaged, the cells with adapt to another way of using fuel called fermentation. The body doesnât usually use this system, but it will use it as a survival mechanism if it needs to. While using this backup system, these cells metabolize glucose. This is one way a virus can actually trigger cancer. Cancer cells create a lot of inflammation, free-radical damage, and oxidation.
How do we switch things back?

Great video. For chikungunya virus we had good results with supplementing, 100mg each of alpha-lipoic acid, betaine and quercitin, 1 to 3 times a day, with food.
This is the kind of information that you wonât get from mainstream media.

Dr Berg a true hero.
Type 1 diabetic for 39 years. Trying so hard to keep myself healthy. Your videos have helped me so much. Thanks Dr. Berg!!
Plenty of years left to go. God bless
@@jarsin4480 Thank you - that's very kind. God bless you too :)
Hey how is going?
I have been watching Dr. Berg's videos so I have all the vitamins listed here in my cabinet thanks again Dr. Berg you are one in a million stay safe!!
I'm happy to help! Thanks for watching.
â@@Drbergplease do a video on earthing benefits
Affordable version: eat grass fed beef liver and/or cod liver oil.
Well yes but take it easy. It is possible to overdose on vitamin (not strictly a vitamin) D.
49jubilee yeah but darker also means less chance of burning. Iâve been stuck in Seattle winter and spring and Iâm pretty white and Iâm heading to Arizona tomorrow so wish me luck. Iâll probably get nuked into a lobster within 5 minutes lol
I literally had the thought yesterday, "I hope Dr. Berg does a video about covid and oxidative stress." Nice moves dude!
Dr. Berg please, would you do a video of what happens in the bodies of those who get the virus but don't have the symptoms? I'm curious about this.
Pr Raoult discusses lesions in asymptomatic Covid cases in some of his rare interviews on the IHU channel but it is in french. A few are in english. Those in french don't have English subtitles. The results were obtained through low dose thoracic radiography. But yes, that would be a good subject for a video because Dr Berg makes it easy to understand.
Good question! I've also wondered about this...asymptomatic "sufferers" obviously have a good immune system...
Want to hear about this too!
Yes please Dr Berg. !
Another excellent video Dr Berg! Thank you for providing well-researched educational material that empowers us to take control of our health!

You don't take antioxidants, you eat them! Bottles of supplements do not contain all the antioxidants in the proper ratios as fresh vegetables and fruit do!
And if ur depleted in trace minerals then antioxidants are not even absorbed
@@holisticstarhealing8673 how about putting 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt in a bottle of water. twice a day? that should give you the trace minerals you need, no?!

Hello doc from Kathmandu,Nepal
No, I think he is from the US.
The world health organization do not want us to know this, but I appreciate it much. Thanks doc!
Thank you for making this video. Can you talk about Statins and ACE inhibitors as there is a new study from NEJM and how they are associated with a decrease in mortality in hospitals with COVID 19. Wonder why?
Keto Kare according to Kendrick statins can be useful in treating patients who already have heart failure. So maybe for Covid - 19 patients who are experiencing heart issues statins can help, nothing to lose in taking them at that stage.
Hello Dr Berg I am suffering with my gallbladder and this virus and don't worry Dr Berg I have not gone for my normal eating habits and I am only eating twice a day now and I can go go out shopping to get keto friendly food and I am taking brewers yeast tablets every day and I was scared to loose my appendix but since I have watching you and I loved you and I loved watching your videos and when I feel down with the pain I watched you and you bring my mood right up and you are a special doctor to me and thank you Dr Berg for teaching me to change my eating habits and I have learned so much from you and please keep your videos and live shows coming out
Also high EMF areas that people live in can cause greater symptoms from the virus. These invisible wireless fields can affect your immunity.
Excellent information. The immunocompromised need to see and hear this.
You´re an idol. Became a health coach in Prevention because of your videos. Started my CZcams now as well. Thanks for everything, Dr. Berg. Greets from Germany
How often do you have a cheat day or eat carbs? Like a gathering or special travel or anything?
hi, Dr. Berg, can you explain please how the exposure of EMF of different frequencies affecting the body, for example, from 30KHz to 300GHz (like remote control , cellular phone antennas). And also how this effect is depending on EMF power and distance from its source. Thank you!
Is is possible that type1 diabetic is result of oxidation of beta cell inside the body. Wonderful information
Can you talk about NAC a bit more? Is it safe for anyone to take. Can it be used as immune boosting, preventative measures?
great stuff
I have a virus that activated itself about 12 months ago. Was having mild flu symptoms and extreme fatigue. My doctor only just picked up on it about a month ago throughlots of blood tests. Since then the flu symptoms became so bad I thought I had the Coronavirus as the symptoms were all there except the inability to breath. I got myself checked for Coronavirus and it it came back negative so praise God for that!! But viruses certianly knocks the body around thats for sure; will be happy when this one leaves my body!! Thank Dr. Berg for another great video!! đ
Ha! đ˛ Same thing happened to my husband. Been seriously ill twice since coronavirus hit the area. This man never gets sick but he was on his back for days within the last 2 months with flu and possibly pneumonia. Tested negative for coronavirus both times but the symptoms sure did look like it. whatever viruses his immune system suppressed under normal circumstances has been knocking him around from so much stress
@@BeautifulGood713 go to someone whom practices applied kinesiology u will find out the cause
check out Dr.Bergs playlists, there is info on how to fix viruses.
Great video as always. Can you please talk about multiple sclerosis? And how to react during this crisis?

âşâşThe big Q&A...How much antioxidants you need to really start working and suppress the oxidative stress??ââ
Dr Berg do you have a video on the difference between oxidation and inflammation or are they the same thing? That would be interesting.
What about exercising too much?
Thanks for info. Ive been trying get blood sugars and body under control for a yr. I recently started half tsp.or a tea bag worth of dandelion root in my yogurt. The yogurt amout prob. less than half a cup greek yogurt vanilla. I heard it is good for possible cancer kill, antioxidant etc. I figured couldnt hurt try it. My blood sugars were constantly up and down . My first day of eating the dandeliin root, roasted tea, my blood sugars stayed below 100 all day. Im shocked. I take my normal d3 k2,b1 benfotamine,fish oil,ala,nac, and betaine hydrochloride with pepsin. Another thing ive been eating ground hamburger,mushroom spaghetti sauce with zuccini and sometimes cucumber slices.i noticed right away my gut felt better. It was premade Prego mushroom,but i add more oregano. About half cup each plus cottage cheese if i have it. And i do double up on d3 k2,b1 benf.. i also take once in a while collage peptides,and L glutamine, Ip6, choline with inositol. It sounds like alot, but i know i wanted to try all i could. Oh i forgot, wild oregano oil is great. And i occasionally take blackseed oil.but i do take an ala with it to balance omega 3 with the 6 and 9 omegas. Great info. Your videos, didnt know what to do where to begin. Good luck good health all.take care. I drink oolong tea after meals, and sip throughout day.helps bring down blood sugars.
Guacamole is a good source of antioxidants right?
I was using cod liver oil and started getting heartburn especially after working out a d started gaining weight. Do you have any suggestions, absolutely think your FANTASTIC, just trying to to straighten myself out. Thank you âĽď¸
@49jubilee hi I've tried green tea and it didn't agree with me, it felt like I was getting a uti. I have an ectopic kidney so I have to be careful on what I eat, but thanks so much for your advice. It was really kind of you. đâĽď¸
Will copper lead to the build up of metal and generates ROS?
You have a very soothing voice Dr Berg. It's always a pleasure watching your videos. You're the best teacher too.
Is it better not to take antibiotics for an ear infection or something?
There is always a new information that you can add to this subject, thank you đ
Thank you Eric!
Thank you, Dr Berg. This is the best eight minutes I have spent on CZcams in quite a while.
cheers
My takeaway from this is: Sugar=cancer and Cancer cells are zombies =hard to kill off .
Could you start putting the next videos youâre referencing in the description?
I canât get annotations
Doc How much zinc do we need? plus you mention B1,B2,B6 and B12 Its the B complex? Or just the ones

Thank you so much
Hey Dr. Berg.... Another great video, thank you... Our son, now 31 has Pan Ulcerative Colitis, possibly triggered by doctor recommend medication being "Accutane" for acne, when he was 16. Our son went from a 6 foot, 200# football player to an unrecognizable 114# ghost. Several "expert" doctors have wanted give him a colostomy... We said NO. It's been a big battle, we have been told he will be on prescription drugs his whole life. He has had several rounds of prednisone, but ultimately the meds all seem to weaken him back down to zero. He has made many changes and is 100% organic, strict on diet, gets outside sun and back to a light workout. He is stubborn and I think this might be a defining battle for him, although I have prayerfully tried to intervene, but so far I have not woken up being him in trade. If you have any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
So good! Knowledge is key! Thank you Dr Berg! I wish you were my personal doctor!
Most welcome! Glad you found the video helpful!
GREEN TEA!

One question regarding "cytokine storm" : does a strong immune system protect us from this phenomenon or it's better to have a weaker immunity in order to avoid such an overreaction?
Doctor you are amazing God bless you
I was taking Zinc Chelate, but Dr. Berg cautioned about using synthetic vitamins and minerals. I don't eat fish. Not sure what my options are.
This is great information.
Thank you Dr. Berg!
Do conventional doctors know about these? It seems that when you go to the normal doctors, they just prescribed you with drugs..it makes me wonder whether these doctors know about this knowledge
