Let’s talk about Alzheimer’s. The main theory for a while has been that amyloid plaquing in the brain causes Alzheimer’s. This theory is what a lot of research has been targeted at and based on since 2006. But some new information is countering this idea.

Early symptoms of Alzheimer’s:
• Difficulty remembering recent events
• Difficulty finding words
• Problems with spatial location
• Loss of smell
• Mood swings

What we know about Alzheimer’s:
• The brain shrinks, starting with the hippocampus
• People are getting it at a younger age (as early as their 20s)
• There is a correlation between hyperinsulinemia and Alzheimer’s
• Treating amyloid plaque hasn’t produced results
• There is a risk factor involving APOE

There is an alternative theory that Alzheimer’s is a lysosome storage problem. The lysosome is a part of the cell that helps clean up damaged proteins and recycles them into new building blocks. The theory is that this part of the cell is broken.

The process of the lysosome cleaning up damaged protein and recycling it is called autophagy. The most potent trigger of autophagy is fasting, and a lot of research demonstrates that fasting can potentially improve Alzheimer’s.

Natural ways to enhance the lysosome function and autophagy:
1. Reduce glucose (get on the keto diet)
2. Do intermittent fasting (OMAD) and periodic prolonged fasting (a 48-hour fast once a week)
3. Try herbal remedies (curcumin, pine bark, thunder god vine, and green tea)
4. Include omega-3 fatty acids (DHA) in your diet
5. Increase SCFA (get into ketosis)
6. Exercise regularly
7. Get plenty of sleep
8. Consume cruciferous vegetables
7. Include extra virgin olive oil in your diet
8. Do heat and cold therapy

  • Lost my dad at 69 from this disease. Awful way to go. I lift weights,eat meat and stay away From processed foods,sugar,carbs. I'm not going out that way. Miss you dad.
  • Can I be honest? I am a nurse and someone who considers myself fairly knowledgeable when it comes to medical conditions physiology etc , but Dr. Berg blows everything I thot I knew out of the water. He is so accurate with his data that it makes complete sense from a scientific standpoint. Please continue your work because you really are making a difference, I feel like most doctors try to discourage people from supplements (through the lack of fda regulation as a scare tactic) because if the patient drastically improves they in essence lose their job. So they try to keep patients just sick enough by prescribing the same medications: (atorvastatin, metformin, eliquis, etc) that are in most cases more detrimental side effects wise than the conditions they "help". Natural is the way to go thank you Dr.Berg for doing the research and not just catering to pharmaceutical companies.
  • @job4him712
    We took my mother in-law to a geriatric doc hoping for some help as she was loosing her memory quickly. Doc was concerned that she had lost some weight (after living with us and eating better). Doc told her she could eat ice cream 3 times a day if she wanted because it would be better for her to have the weight on.🤷‍♀️ I had just watched doctor Berg’s sugar and the brain video. My confidence in doctors dropped to a new low.
  • @mailill
    Unfortunately, nursing homes for people with Alzheimer's - at least in my country (in Scandinavia) - tend to feed the patients insane amounts of sugar and carbs every day. Sugary juices instead of water or tea, bread and jam three times a day, cookies between meals and a lot of sweet baked goods every day. If Doctor Berg is right, the nursing homes actually contribute to making them worse.

  • I knew a man that was told he had alzheimer's and had to quit driving. 3 months later I saw him and he said that he had switched drs and it was his medication.That was about 15 yrs ago. Still drives to this day. Think.....he almost got robbed of 15+ years of his life.
  • I truly appreciate your advice. I have been diagnosed with Alzheimer. I'm only 44 year old. I was devastated with this news. It's felt like I was in a nightmare that I couldn't wake up. Thank you for easing my mind a little. I will apply what you have talked about to me daily regiment.
  • Thank you for this video Dr. Berg. I am a Trauma Informed Therapist and First Responder Chaplain with 38 years experience. I put my Self through nursing school and College working in a Skilled Care facility doing Memory care with Alzehimer's disease dementia patients. I just spent the last 3 years being the main caregiver for an Elder with Advanced stage Alzheimer's disease dementia. I did End of Life care and Hospice care for her. She died in May. It was an Honour to Love and care for her in her own Home and to fulfill her wishes. It is my opinion that most Nursing Homes give surgary treats, juices , jams, jellies, cookies, candies , ice cream, smoothies, and a carbohydrate laden diet to patients to sedate them. Even the majority of protein given is in the form of Ensure sugar enriched protein milkshakes, smoothies, custards, puddings and ice cream. The sweet taste is the last to go and people at end of Life often crave sugar and sweets. These are used as a reward to manage behaviour. Patients are often in the habit of eating a high carbohydrate typical American diet. So hospitals and dieticians justify these diets because the foods are familiar to the patients and comforting. Regarding the comment about how you would rather be skinny than have Alzehimer's Disease....... It seems to me that the patients in Nursing Homes are getting fatter and heavier each year. I believe this is done purposefully to control behavior. Here is why: Thin wirey Alzehimer's patients tend to have more adrenaline and be " Runners". They try and escape and have to be drugged and sedated. Simply put they wear out their caregivers. Yet obese heavy set patients, (while difficult to turn, Bathe and transfer ) tend to have more dopamine and because of this are more likely to be " fat and happy", sleepy and sedated, and not cause as many behaviour problems. They tend to be more compliant and docile and can be easily managed and manipulated because of their food addictions. Sadly, I have seen patients be kept alive on Ensure tube fed through their noses for years. Western culture tends to glorify Youth and Deny Death at all costs. These patients were not allowed to go into the Actively Dying stage and die a peaceful natural Death. We need to have a Revolution in Death and Dying encouraging Hospice care at Home just like there was a Revolution in Planned Home Births in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. We need to educate our Selves and our Loved Ones about the healthy natural process of Death and Dying. Just as there are distinct stages in Labour and Birth , there are clear stages in the Actively Dying phase of the Labour of Death. Transitioning across the Veil into Eternity takes work. Educating our Selves and our Loved Ones about the stages of Death and Dying and our wishes regarding our End of Life Care is a Loving thing to do. Education takes away our Fear of the unknown. Reciently I was inspired to make educational videos for Family Cargivers of Loved Ones with Alzehimer's Disease Dementia. I am creating a YouTube channel and making videos. Please pray for me for Courage. I am on Quora and Facebook Messenger. I wish you Clarity and Peace and Joy on your Healing Journey. Hold the Lantern and Light The Way. I am sending Love and Hugs from Washington, USA, Jeanne of In Loving Hands Counseling
  • @jadez57
    Both of my parents passed from Alzheimer’s. With everything I’ve read, I think it was from all the medications they had taken in their lives. Neither of them were big eaters, especially my mom she ate like a bird, but their diets were horrible & they took plenty of pills. I could never get through to them & they certainly didn’t want me going to their doctors with them. My dad was in his late 70’s when he passed & my mom was 89 when she passed. I feel they would’ve lived even much longer if they hadn’t of been on so many meds & had better diets. But that could be me just being selfish & wishing? RIP Mimi & Pop-pop💖🌻💖 *Thanks everyone! I appreciate it.*
  • @bl4841
    this guy is the real deal. anyone who promotes a totally free preventative route such as fasting, clearly has good intentions for people. We love you Dr Berg!
  • @D52M5
    Dr. Berg, you are a blessing not only to society, but to the human race. Never stop. Thank you.
  • @ronitbaras
    My mum reversed Alzheimer she had for 18 years. reversed! Yes! Keto works. Thank you Dr berg! Add one more person saved to your list of good deeds. If someone is counting good deeds when you die, you go straight to heaven. I can't thank you enough! I learned a lot from you. Still do!
  • You just naturally trust this awesome Doctor..HE CARES FOR HUMANITY.
  • @mjlee9279
    I usually don't enjoy watching medical videos because they tend to be very complex. But with your videos, you make them very clear and easy to understand. Please continue to do more.
  • @jaymay7405
    Dear Dr Berg this video has touched a very sensitive part of me as my mum died with severe alzheimer's disease last year and I fought with every doctor within the hospital to stop feeding her the disgusting anti soul drugs they were giving her. I eventually managed to get them to stop and gave her mineral tissue cell salts instead however the damage was so deep that she died of a terrible lung infection caused by the side effects of the drugs in which she was unable to cough up her mucus. It was a devastating period of my life. I spent 3 years caring for her and unfortunately she fell and broke her hip. Once she fell into the hands of the system her health went from bad to tragic. The health system should not be called a health system. The hospitals kill and none of the doctors work under oath. God bless you. x
  • @ljc3484
    Dr berg is unique in that he is willing to look at all theories & is willing to change his mind / admit he’s been wrong about something. That’s so rare in a medical professional
  • Bless you! My Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2007 and I was his sole Caregiver the last year of his life! He went from being VP of Warner Bros to not remembering what he ate 5 min before! Heart wrenching! I’ve also been praying I don’t suffer the same way and am grateful for your information! Bless you!
  • @Slivings911
    Great info, Dr. Berg! I was trying to explain autophagy and the self HEALING benefits of fasting at a family gathering recently. I told them, “you don’t have to believe me if you don’t want to, but I’m telling you that I have healed myself of infection through fasting and sleep”. They thought a 48-hour fast sounded crazy. It’s hard to get through people’s conditioned beliefs and behaviors in regard to diet and health. Hopefully, I planted a seed. If these illnesses and diseases can be prevented we have to try. Love your videos. Thank you for posting them and keeping this channel. ❤
  • Thank God there are people like you Dr Berg. I'm only 42 and I've been having trouble remembering people, conversations etc. As if that isn't hard enough, people are so cruel, they get angry with me and make fun of me. I'm glad there are people like you in the world, that have compassion. I'm going to tell my nuerologist that I want to try KETO, fasting, and other natural remedies before anything else. Thank you.
