Hi Dr.Berry,

I loved your videos and practically they saved my life! My A1C came down from 10.2 to 6.3 in 6 months and I am off most of my medications except for one blood pressure medicine. My doctor wouldn't believe it but I just let the test data speaks for itself! In my doctor's mind, she thinks I am too extreme!

I saw your Lemon water video and I agreed with you that just lemon juice by itself doesn't provide much benefit! However, if you use the whole lemon (including the skin and everything), it does have some health benefits in my opinion.

Four months into my diet, my weight loss stalled and my blood sugar stayed at 110 mg/dL for some reasons that I wasn't aware of. I couldn't figure out why they stalled and what I screwed up! I tried everything and I even thought my black tea and my blood pressure medication was the cause of the problem. I stopped them and nothing change except my blood pressure was getting higher! Then I saw one of the videos from Dr.James Kneller about how he eats a lemon a day and its health benefits. I figured I would give it a try. The way he's doing is kind of gross I have to admit! So I turned the whole lemon into a drink with water and added Stevia. To my surprised, my blood sugar went down to 85 mg/dL that afternoon and it stayed there. And my weight loss resumed within the next few days.

I am not medically smart enough to understand why or what's going on but I have to believe that the whole lemon juice did affect my body chemistry somehow. I've been drinking this cocktail for two weeks now. And my sugar is at 75mg/dL now and my weight is going down slowly!

I just want to put it out here and perhaps you can investigate if the whole lemon approach indeed has some benefits that we are not aware of. After all, what you are doing is indeed life saving and I really want to help this community to spread out the words and fix some health problems that pharmaceutical companies don't want anyone to fix!

God bless you.

David

Hi.. :) I'm a retired Physical Therapist with a history of Kidney stones. I had a kidney stone (seen on Xray) and My family physician told me to drink a glass of warm water and half a lemon every morning 1/2 hour before eating. The kidney stone disappeared in 10 days (proven by Xray). Since doing this I have not had another kidney stone in 10 years now. A happy camper!!👍👍

I am a water drinker and I drink my water with lemon juice every single day. I've done this for decades. I do it simply because I find it refreshing and I like the taste.

I have been drinking an organic lemon squeezed into lukewarm water every morning for the last 10 years. No arthritis, no gray hairs. No wrinkles and definitely no bladder stones and feel like iI'm still 30!
My teeth are fine. I am not overweight either.

I have been drinking lemon juice for 5 years and it has done wonders for me...

You changed my life Dr. Berry - carnovore diet helped me: 1. Become not morbidly obese; 2. Not be a type 2 diabetic; 3. Improved my kidney disease; 4. Improved all my joint pain so I can walk better. I’d say that was much more important than squeezing lemons! And, it’s a diet you can LIVE on the rest of your life. I’m 77 years old and I thank you so much for your videos and telling us the truth. God bless you!

Anyone even remotely familiar with Dr. Berg's videos knows very well that he would never endorse the idea that just drinking water with lemon would work miracles. Dr. Berg places more than 80% emphasis on regular healthy habits, especially the KETO diet, intermittent fasting, regular physical activity, avoiding stress, sleeping well and above all avoiding sugars, carbohydrates, vegetable oils, alcohol and junk food, or reducing to as little as possible.

I think the individual referred to is Dr Berg. In his video, with 11m views and from 2 years ago, Dr Berg does explain with sufficient details the reasons for the benefits he lists and does state that some tests were ran on animals.

He doesn’t just recommend lemon water as a miracle drink. He qualifies his statements.

Dr Berg and Dr Berry have help thousands of people regardless of their motivation or personal bias .
Thankyou very much !!!

“Common sense”….the world needs a whole lot more of it!

For my 2 cents the other content creator was my first exposure to a veritable mountain of truth and information the no one else was sharing. He helped my husband (who reversed Type 2 diabetes) and I turn our health around. I believe that he's sincere in his efforts to help people. And whether he is right or wrong we should remember that no one is going to be right 100% of the time no matter how well meaning.
Many people tout research today that will be debunked tomorrow. And Dr. Berg heavily relies on studies. He doesn't just make anecdotal or surmised pronouncements.

Let me also say that many of the doctors who are doing functional medicine are chiropractors. They had a whole body approach when typical Western trained M.D.s were treating symptoms and dismissing concerned patients like me. My husband's doctor told him he would need to be on medication for the rest of his life to manage his diabetes. At 31!
So much respect to all the "not a doctors" out there who had more integrity than many "real doctors". There are great people and awful people in every profession.
I really appreciate Dr. Berg for stepping up. ❤

Dr. Berg's advice got me from 245 to a tight 145 over a few months. I felt better and better every day. My labs went from wrecked, due to metabolic syndrome and diabetes, to perfect. My feet even got smaller. I am forever grateful to him for sharing his knowledge. PS I did not exercise at all. My bad.

I had recurring urinary infections over many years. I decided to try drinking lemon juice in water over two years ago and have not had a urinary infection since.
When I got called back to see the urologist at hospital, he wanted to know why my infections had stopped, I told him what I was doing, he just smiled, he was no believer.
Now I still drink my lemon juice every day, but these days with added organic cider vinegar.

Thank you Dr. Berry! You and Neisha have truly changed my life through your educational videos. I have reversed Fatty Liver, kicked sugar and carbohydrate addiction, NO MORE MIGRAINES, reduced pain and inflammation in my feet, knees and back, lost 60lbs of fat, gaining more muscle, no more menopause symptoms, I can sleep through the night now, got rid of lifelong terrible constipation, no more bloating, gas pains, no more foggy brain, I have lots of energy and am able to handle life’s challenges without feeling big emotional swings. It’s truly incredible to see the lists that people post on your videos of health issues resolving and I’m so grateful they take the time to do so because it really helps to read the real life testimonies of transformation and healing. I thank God for y’all’s boldness, courage and love for people.

I watch both of you as do a vast majority of your audience. I’ve been on lemon juice and water for the past 3 years. It works wonders. The proof is in my blood tests. It’s truly amazing. Haven’t been sick in 10+ years. You should both collaborate. I think you’d find you’re more similar than different. And yes, you’re calling him out. You can agree to disagree or do a video together to discuss. I’d love to see that as would your followers. Not everyone can do carnivore and Dr. Berg is a wonderful alternative with the Keto he shares. He’s changed many lives for the better as he did mine ❤

[ordinaryvalley]

Lets all lift each other up instead of putting others down ❤❤

[alicem]

I have much respect for both Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg. Dr Berg has introduced thousands of people to the ketogenic diet and along the way helps the same people find Dr Berry.

[lindaa]

Due to type2 diabetes I gave up grains years ago but my weight continued to go up. Went ketovore/carnivore thanks to Dr. Berry's videos. I have lost over 80lbs so far & am off of insulin. THANK YOU DR BERRY!

[Channel-fkmc]

I had kidney pain for two years, my doctor was not helpful at all.
I started drinking lemon juice and water, and within a week, that stone moved and I passed it.
No more pain!
