I'm 62 years old and I've only been sick three times in my adult life. I have always followed these rules. My grandmother used to say you have to eat a ton of dirt before you die, meaning stop trying to be so worried about germs. She didn't slow down until a week before she passed at 96.

I’ve watched quite a few things on viruses, and this is by far THE BEST!! Thank you so much!! Simple common sense things we can do. And I deeply appreciate you sharing your own human story … makes me feel a lot better!🙏🏻💗

THANK YOU for educating us. Normally, I try to reduce the fever immediately. I will stop that from now on. Your videos are great.

[brooklyn]

I am surprised about #1, stopping a fever to quickly.
I did not know that and I've been told differently in the past

[thuywu]

Hello Dr Berg. Fantastic topic, very informative, very useful. Thank you so much Dr Berg ❤

[anafreire]

Hi Dr. Berg, just stopping by to say thank you for your important informative videos. We appreciate you wholeheartedly. Thanks.

My routine has been to lay down and deal with the fever till the feeling of body chills begins. Then crawl into very hot bath and soak. I will then go back to bed with bath towels under my torso and head. I will then fall asleep, then a sweat storm happens. Once the massive sweat storm finishes, the fever has broken. You must time it right. Your body uses the external energy from the hot bath to get over the hump. Can't do the bath right away, save it for when you can barely function

thanks Dr. Berg. you're a health hero. Saving millions of lives

Amazing timing! I rarely get a cold - fewer than once a year. But I just had a really heavy one. Tremendous amount of nose-blowing and productive coughing. No fever at all. I slept - drank lemon juice or ACV in water - gargled with salt water or Povidone Iodine. Ate soups. Didn't eat much. It lasted 2 weeks.

Perfect timing! My 8 year old daughter is unwell 🥵 Great video. Thank you

For my lingering viral infection cycles with ongoing phlegm production; after 10 days; my belief is my viral infection morphed into part bacteria inflection in my lungs. Then I have been thankful for antibiotics, had my belief confirmed by a doctor I trust, plus a PhD Acupuncturist, and then been thankful for a round of antibiotics that made a quick difference for me. I have gotten some rude flu bugs in Costa Rica.

I always love this man information so accurate and a blessing.🙏🙏🙏

PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON VOCAL CHORD DYSFUNCTION!! I just watched this video and realized that I" tried" doing everything you just recommended. I went over 2 weeks with the start of an infection but my body's immune system just doesn't work the way it did fighting off viruses prior to the existence of covid. Something really odd happened when I first got covid in September 2021. I was the only one in my family who had no symptoms even though we all tested positive. It was day 10 where it hit me like a ton of bricks, , I COULD NOT catch my breath, I literally was gasping for air and it got progressively worst as the days went by. I was shunned by a doctor when I went to urgent care and she just sent me an inhaler to the pharmacy. The inhaler never helped me be able to catch my breath. I suffered for the next several weeks, it took about 6 weeks total for me to finally feel somewhat normal. Since then I've been misdiagnosed with having asthma. I contacted covid again Nov. 2022 and my shortness of breath and labored breathing started right away with severe back pain, my pcp sent paxlovid and steriods which I thought would make this time around lesser duration of the virus, I was so wrong. No matter which variant I get it takes me at least a 6 full weeks for a full recovery, . I left out so much, , but I need direction. Or some answer. What can ppl like me do if we have a virus that shuts down our immune system we can't run a fever, we cannot get our cough to be productive, . I have been dealing with a so called sinusitis virus for over 1 month and I think due to the post nasal drip it caused a trigger for my dyspnea. I feel like the pressure in my head returned with a vengeance and I feel like I have no choice but to request another antibiotic. Why don't doctors want to take a mucus sample to out rule a bacterial strain? I've asked my pcp and at the ER! I AM SUFFERING so much and now I know that's in part to being diagnosed with VOCAL CHORD DYSFUNCTION. I CANNOT BREATHE CORRECTLY even with trying the exercises I was told to do I am otherwise a fit and I thought healthy 41 year old, please give me your insight. I am so desperate for answers and nobody has them.
Thank you.

This is a great video but I wanted to make a video suggestion, since I have been watching your channel I have cut out 90% of food items in my diet and I am struggling to eat a diet that adheres to all your guidelines as there are not many options left. Could you make a video on your top 10 meal ideas or something similar? Thanks.

[marysh]

Great information. They should teach them at school. Practical and necessary. Thank you for sharing.
