DATA:

This video is a summary of an important paper that blew me away.

Three of the leading causes of death:
• Heart disease
• Cancer
• Metabolic illnesses

With each of these causes of death, there is some type of dysfunction that destroys the mitochondria. The essence of the problem is an excess of oxidative stress and free-radical damage.

Normally, the body protects against these things through its antioxidant networks. Glutathione has been considered the most important antioxidant. But melatonin is even more powerful and effective than glutathione.

Benefits of melatonin:
• It’s a powerful antioxidant
• It’s 2x more powerful than vitamin E
• It triggers antioxidants like glutathione
• It promotes sleep
• It supports the immune system
• It has anticancer benefits

There are two forms of melatonin, one being subcellular melatonin, which means it’s inside the mitochondria. It’s there to help protect against oxidation and free-radical damage in the mitochondria.

A lack of melatonin can:
• Affect your sleep
• Cause inflammation
• Cause you to lose your antioxidant protection in the mitochondria
• Lead to chronic degenerative diseases (especially of the brain)

The largest stimulus of subcellular melatonin is near-infrared light (NIR).
A few things that give off NIR:
• The sun
• Campfires
• Fire in a fireplace
• Candles
• Incandescent lights
• Infrared sauna
• Infrared lights and lasers

Being outside in nature and in the sun may be just as important as eating healthy. Infrared light also protects against UV radiation.

Being exposed to artificial lights (LED light and blue light) is a big cause of a deficiency of infrared light.

What you can do:
• Get outside in the sun
• Get a therapeutic near-infrared light
• Switch your lights to incandescent lights
• Have more fires or use candles

One point I wanted to clarify. I am not recommending taking melatonin supplements but instead triggering your mitochondria to MAKE its own melatonin. You do this with exposure to the infrared spectrum of light - sun, fire (campfire, candle flames, fireplace, etc.) or using some red-light therapy. AND start to restrict the blue light (computers, cell phones and artificial lights). When I personally take melatonin, my sleep sucks. Some people might sleep better with it but anytime you take a hormone the gland that produces it (hint, hint - pineal) doesn't have to produce anymore and the body starts depending on external sources. So, the best solution is to trigger the cells' ability to make melatonin itself.

My great-grandfather was a smoker. He was also a farmer who spent the majority of his time outside. He lived to be 113.

Dr. B, you are amazing!!! I am a retired DC/ND, 76 years old and feel like every video of yours is like attending a seminar!! I love your philosophy of health and healing, as well as your humility about not pushing your own line of supplements! I admire your ongoing and sophisticated research on every topic you present and the 'newness' of them. I hope that you continue to spread your knowledge to the world and elucidate people to the Medical Industrial Complex that exists in this country!! You ROCK!!

[m.e.p.b.]

I believe this. My aunt is 60 years old. Been a smoker for the past 25 years but she's always outside bec the kitchen is outside and she does kitchen work in the dirty kitchen & laundry area outside where sunrise and sunset hits these areas. She does gardening too. There are trees in her backyard and fresh air where she lives. She eats all regular Filipino dishes. She's not fat and she sweats a lot bec of household stuffs. She sleeps like a baby. Sleeps at 10-11PM Wakes up at 4:30-5AM.

Thank you Dr Berg. My husband got a very bad report from the doctor in December. He’s 78, I’m 67. I just ordered him an over $600. outdoor recliner so he can sit in the sun. My father’s favorite words were “go sit in the sun.” That was his answer to any ailment. He was 88 when he passed away. May the Lord bless you and keep you safe and healthy, in Jesus name. Amen

My great grandmother is 97 years old, worked on a farm all her life, she never had any illnesses at all apart from a small issue with her eye 3 years ago. All she ate was flour based products. Some vegetables, some meat some dairy and green tea. Perhaps the sun is the most important thing after all.

Hi Dr Berg, I don't know if you will read this but I wanted to reach out anyway and thank you. I'm only 25 and in pretty good health currently, but several members of my family (plus a few friends' parents) have recently been diagnosed with various forms of cancer, all in a very short space of time. To cut a long story short, this has led me to discover your YouTube channel and I have been watching a lot of your videos multiple times each, taking notes in the process. Your talks about melatonin and the sun, as well as fasting are two particular subjects which nobody in my family seems to know much about and certainly didn't teach me as I was growing up. I feel as though I have learnt so many things through you, which I would probably never hear about through going to see "regular" doctors. I love that you promote healthy living through nature (e.g. sun, eating natural foods) as opposed to supplements and medication. Thank you so much for creating this channel and providing so much life-saving information for free. I feel encouraged to live the rest of my days as healthily as I can, and hopefully I can also pass on some of my findings to my loved ones and in turn help them.

[Kmahersh]

This is literally the best YouTube channel ever! I’m learning so much that no doctor ever told me. Thank you so much!!! ❤

[stratogustav]

All the content from Dr. Berg in the last month has been insanely good, I'm amazed how he can pull so much value again and again, it is truly remarkable. It has been years of video after video, and he always has more gold to share.

Finally, my hatred of fluorescent lighting is confirmed. I also feel even more justified in quitting my office job. Between the fluorescent lights, the harsh light of my screen, and prolonged sitting, I could feel myself deteriorating. Loved this video. Thank you Dr. Berg!

[ghelfling_bunny]

I love the way he explains the entire paper in such an accessible way. First, he recognizes that we are capable of taking responsibility for our own well being, instead of counting exclusively on medical interventions when things go wrong (and more difficult to solve). Secondly, as illustrated by the pandemic, science shouldn't be restricted to scientists. The lack of knowledge leads to bad decisions and can be fatal not only at the individual level, but for all of us. I admire people who go out of the academic bubble and take their time to do this.

[Max-csdn]

This video connects all of the important dots I had in the past two decades as I became more aware of human health and things that affect it. It explains why youngsters can survive on crappy lifestyles, why human will die (because we age), why do we age and why do we even decline over time which almost exactly correlates with the natural decline of melatonin in our body. Even seemingly unrelated, why successful people tend to have highly disciplined lifestyles - wake up, get out and sleep at the exact times that perfectly synchronize with the nature. It vindicates so many thoughts, theories and beliefs from so many places. I’m in utter joy and gratefulness of Dr Berg’s work and I need to take a moment to collect myself now.

[sarihaddu]

Working from home for the past 15 years took its toll on me. Severely reduced vitamin d, depression, bone pain, nerve pain, back pain, insomnia what not. Started walking for 30 minutes in sun from new year day and I already feel healthy.

[elyeyi]

You're doing humanity more justice than the current medical establishment these days. I appreciate the work you do in analyzing data and putting it into layman's terms so humanity can truly take advantage of the benefits. I don't think people know how much work that must be, thank you Dr Berg 🙏🏾

[debrabrooks]

I am truly appreciative of your passion to help us all. I am a RN, I’ve lost count of how many patients I’ve instructed to subscribe to you. My cancer patients and now, my seniors with cognitive impairment. The current treatment for sundowning is antidepressants or antipsychotic that’s has terrible side effects. Caregivers are stressed…Now go outside for treatment
God bless you

[giancarlomeazzo]

I havent watched tv for over 12 years. Instead i learn something every day in different subjects. Most important are documentaries and YouTube videos on health. Your videos are right on top along others like David Sinclear PhD specialing in longevity. You both present the subject matter very well. Easy to understand and absorb. I save the videos and refer and forward to friends and family. Thank you for sharing a wealth of information

[KerryG-SA]

It's pretty cool how modern research is inadvertently directing us back to a more outdoor life. I adore the sun. Not sure if I learnt this on this channel but most nights I turn off all the lights an hour before bed and light candles. I find my sleep dramatically improved. Thanks doc

[StyleshStorm]

When doctor berg is genuinely surprised about something new you can tell because he expresses it. Incredibly fascinating.

[fadeskywards]

Thank you for posting these videos, dr Berg! It means a lot, especially for us young doctors!

[mbh]

That's why God made nature. He meant for us to be outside working, not indoors all the time. Children don't play outside anymore. Adults are always at desks. We need nature.
