Do This Before Your Detox: IMPORTANT

Don’t do another detox without first doing this!

If you’re considering doing a detox, you need to do something first to help prevent the detox reactions.

There is a right way to detox and a wrong way to detox. You need to balance your detox. When you start taking things to purge poisons from the body or kill microbes, endotoxins can be released into the body. This can create an immune reaction.

Endotoxins can turn off the bile flow through the liver and through the bile ducts. Bile can become very toxic to the liver if it’s stuck inside of it. There can be a back-up of toxins in the blood. It also reduces glutathione, which is supposed to help protect you from free-radical damage and oxidation.

Normally there are three different phases of detoxification. You have poison that’s being released, and your body breaks it down into a harmless water-soluble particle. But, phase three is all about the elimination of the toxin through the bile ducts. The endotoxin shuts down the bile flow, which also reduces phase 2 and phase 3, so there is a back-up of toxic waste in the body. This can create detox reactions.

Detox reactions:
1. Herxheimer reaction (flu-like symptoms)
2. Right-quadrant pain
3. Nausea
4. Stool changes
5. Itchiness
6. Vision changes
7. Dark urine

Do this before you detox:
• Take purified bile salts 30 minutes before you start the detox. You could also take purified bile salts about an hour later. If you start to experience a reaction, taking more bile salts may help.

People, just wanted to give you advice. Don't buy cooked/wrapped/ready food, drinks at stores! Never do it! Buy only ingredients. It will be easier in the beginning, that way you won't fall into trap of accidental added sugar that you didn't know about, because it wasn't at the label. Don't trust companies, don't be lazy and check 2-3 times before buying.

Dr. Berg, I watched your 3 part videos that you made for beginners for keto and IF. I had tried both before but never truly understood the concept of the Keto until my sister sent me your videos. I just wanna say thank you so much because I finally understood and tried again 6 days ago and have lost 11 pounds in 6 days. Your video is so correct about being able to lose 10 pounds in a week. Thank you so much for all of your amazing videos. I am going to eat like this for the rest of my life. If I continue to lose I may buy your videos to become certified. Thank you for everything. I’m so excited about life again. I’m in my 50’s with hypo thyroid and never though my metabolism would allow me to lose weight this fast. You’re a blessing to millions. You should feel so unbelievably proud to be able to help and influence so many millions of people. ❤️

I love this channel ... thanks dr. Berg for sharing your knowledge

[jenniferpetersen]

Dr Berg, thank you so much for this video. Now I understand why I’ve never been able to handle any type of detox. My gallbladder was removed.

[brkitdwn]

Funny how Dr Berg's videos, on need to know info related to what I'm dealing with, pops up in my feed *thankful* as always.

I've not watched Dr.Berg for a while after my partner Katherine passing away a few weeks ago... The ad at the end... Love it

My girlfriend's gallbladder has massive inflammation, but no gallstones. She's anemic and we think she may have become lactose intolerant. After taking away all dairy products and even taking away "eggs" which I know you recommend 4 eggs a day, we've drastically reduced her symptoms from severe pain to no pain at all.

I was already a fan of yours, but now I've got her watching you as well. :) - We were doing Fasting up to 48 hours and now I've convinced her that "detoxifying" is a great thing for the body.... I'll continue to enlighten her through your videos, however, I think I will skip the part about "how" and "Where" they actually get Ox Bile from... Even though implied within the name, I think it's best to leave that part of "discovery" out.. ;)

You are awesome and blessing for us. I am just taking dim and facing the same detox symptom. Now I will take more bile salt

[omly]

When i detox i usually just drink a lemon ginger blast for a week or two then water fast.

[yaneysalgado]

Hi Dr. Berg! It would be great for you to show us how to make a detox :)

[josephineellis]

dr. Berg mentioned leaving a link below the video about bile salts. Is anyone else having trouble finding it? I'd like to see which brand who recommends.

[FirehorseG]

Great video.
I've asked a couple of times before about a terrible reaction to a 6 day water fast. Terrible, terrible lower back, hip, buttock pain. So bad I had to end the fast.
Also had itchy skin and a weird

[Miniudej]

You say to use "purified bile salts". Theres multiple types of bile salts: conjugated, desiccated, bovine. TUDCA Also comes up. Which ones are the purified bile salts you're referring to take before detox?

[tomcondon]

The question that begs to be asked is what different methods of detox should we follow? What practices make up a somewhat complete list of detox methods, and which are highly effective, which are middling effective, and which are ineffective, or contraindicated?

So my wife ordered me your Gallbladder formula after googling bile salts. Do I take this in the morning? I’ve lost like 50 lbs since I’ve started IF. You definitely have changed my life. Think I originally found you from doing a google search for my NAFL. This product says to take before a meal but was curious if this would help more in the morning since I’m usually doing a minimum of 16 hours and some days 20 plus of IF. Anyways thank you again and I’ll keep watching your videos if you don’t get to this .

WHAT??? .... and THAT??? I wish that I had seen this video before now - it explains a LOT about some stuff that I`ve been experiencing for awhile. Time for more

[margaretkiladjian]

Dr. Berg, Many Thanks for your informative videos! I would like to do a detox—-> could you please elaborate on the methodology? Is taking this “Gallbladder Formula the same as taking purified bile salts? And then what do I take or do to start a detox? For how long should I do this: a week, a month? How many times a year? Do you do IF or could you do IF while doing detox?
Thanks again.

Does prolonged fasting help get rid of metal accumulation? What type of detox would you recommend?

[dawndawnadams]

This looks such an amazing product that I have bought to try to help my son who has been suffering with the exact same symptoms as described in the video, apart from constipation. Instead he suffers with extreme daily diarrhoea and has done for over a year.. He has been taking the formuls for about 10 days and initially the pain reduced, but now it has flared up again. I'm really hoping this is just temporary and that he will get better.
