How can a 3 minute talk give more helpful info than what we've heard in a lifetime? Thank you.

So crazy! I've had a desire for black tea so I bought a ton of it. I drink about 3 cups a day and have flushed so much water out of my system. I have a severe case of edema with seriously swollen feet, legs and ankles. Its been this way for about 8 years. Now, my legs look almost normal!

[drmikeosgood]

Dr. Eric, your talks are so much more than any office visits I have ever encountered! Most times is a long wait in the waiting room, then a speedy in and out of the doctor's visit. It's sort of like running cattle through the inspection process! Thanks for your comprehensive explanation of what is going on.😇

I've been studying herbs (from home) for years. I can say Dr., that so far, in my seeking help with some serious issues, I'm finding you MOST thorough! Thank you!

I am doing all these plus more for my dog that after a biopsy cancer spread so quick he was skin and bones, he has gone blind, am washing his eyes with green tea and giving him Tiphala powder in his sardines food with krill for his eyes, he has swollen legs so am making him ginger cinnamon and curcmin tea, he also gets reshi tea, and diluted iodine for the 3 lumps on his throat, I have started vit b1 on odd days and tomorrow will get him melin and coconut he likes those. I am keeping a diary of everything I give him, so far with the black seed cumin oil, ivermectin fenbenzadol and greens he is much better and not wasting away albeit still a long way to go BUT he us eating and asking to go pee so he is not giving up nor will I.

Dandelion leaves definitely make you urinate a lot. It works fast as well. I boil it with ginger as a tea or blend it in a keto smoothie.

My father recently has been diagnosed with CHF. He gets water build up and his doctors put him on a daily diuretic. However he’s worried about it damaging his kidneys. Recently he picked up a natural supplement which has many of these herbs and vitamin B1 as well. After just taking two tablets he did not need the diuretic for 7 days. His weight was stable during that period. He’s much happier if he just takes a pill once a week as opposed to needing the diuretic everyday. Plus I don’t believe these herbs will damage his body whereas the medicine will.

Thank you Dr. Berg slowly trying to make those changes. Legs swollen, ankles, so much inflammation. So much appreciate the information you give to us do freely! 😊❤

unsweetened black tea is really king! I like the Pure Leaf brand during prolonged water/drink-only fasts.

[missmarch]

How amazing would it be to have a complete video about vegeterianism, pros and cons and how to have a safe, balanced nutrition? :) Thank you!

[minksm]

I recently started drinking moringa tea, great diuretic!!!!

[Dexters.LaBOREatory]

PSA: I have patients whose kidneys failed after they were given prescription diuretics. Herbal diuretics are probably much more safer than the prescription.

[blancaguerrero]

I started with half of my right side extremely swollen and then my whole body. I'm going to my nearest health herbal store to buy one of each. This video is where I liked, subscribed and hit the all notifications. Please release a pdf on this and all your videos please. Save your self 130 dollars on a doctors diagnosis and prevent prediabetes and lower your sugar, carb, potatoes, rice and so on. Thank you for this video it was very useful.

[sharonc]

Fell off the low carb wagon hard this “weekend” needed a health video to get myself straight again. Thank you!

[carlacc]

Electrolytes with potassium & minerals in it is a good diuretic if you're low in minerals

[xeperandremanifestthinktan]

*Hibiscus is a good natural diuretic too*

[queenholland]

Did an angry pharmacist 'thumbs down' this video? The more natural herbs you use, the better you will feel. Dr. Berg, you are truly a God send. Thank you, so much, for helping those who are in need... and a great big hug to you!💝💝 Thumbs up!

I just read that Hawthorne berry is a diuretic. I get here and it is not on the whiteboard. Then I see a picture that is named uva ursi. This looks like hawthorne berry. BUT it is Bearberry.

... with dandelion, pick leaves off of small/young plants as they r less bitter.
