I joined your waitlist and will be sitting on my hands praying to hear from you Dr. Sung! I just had to stop triple therapy for h pylori bc it was causing severe stomach pain and diarrhea. I told my new gi doctor I couldn’t take antibiotics after having cdiff 13 times over a year from taking kflex only once for a sinus infection. I wound up having a fecal transplant by the grace of my now retired gi doctor. I haven’t taken an antibiotic but twice in almost 14 years and that was for a uti. This new gi doctor I had to see for an endoscopy proved I had h pylori and gastritis but thankfully no ulcers or damage yet! He refused to work with me without using antibiotics. He told me he doesn’t do or believe in alternative medicine. I despairingly tried to find a natural alternative but the more I looked the more confusing it became. I hesitantly started the triple therapy for h pylori but only lasted 3 days before having severe side effects and had to stop. This being said, I’m desperately trying to get someone willing to help me try an alternative method away from antibiotics as they are way too strong for my system. I joined Dr. Sungs waitlist and pray he will reply and offer some help! I’m sick of these doctors and specialist not helping people who can’t take antibiotics! So many people die each year from c-diff bc their doctor doesn’t believe in alternative medicine or they just are flat out stubborn and don’t want to go outside their box to save their patient. It’s truly sickening! I certainly miss my gi doctor who retired but saved my life 14 years ago using alternative therapy.

Excellent content!! I presume that you reference talking to your doctor as a disclaimer because most docs wouldn’t have a clue about this. They are pharmaceutically trained and seldom understand how any substance, outside of that, can be beneficial etc. They’re licensing precludes the use of anything non pharmaceutical! It’s a very sad situation. There are few that are willing to practice outside their licensing and legal parameters. This is why patients meet with such strong resistance from a medical doctor. It’s not that they don’t care. They have to legally practice what they were taught and licensed to do. There are exceptions, but very few!

[@jamescalifornia2964]

You are correct. 😊

[@tangomcphearson74]

You are exactly right - they are sadly trained to treat symptoms and NOT ROOT causes - and will write a prescription for any and everything. The state of medicine is beyond sad, frustrating and disgusting. Our "medical care" here in the U.S. has become corporate medicine - where patients are shuffled from Doctors, to specialist to specialist - the root causes of their ailments never being discovered, and rarely being treated. Big Pharma and insurance companies run the show. Most Drs. are no longer "healers".

[@donnagarner6007]

My dr always looks stuff up that I mention taking. She will then have a comment, like it's okay or if I should change dosage. I really appreciate that she IS open to nutrition/supplementation! It makes me feel that there may be hope.

[@valerief1231]

So true. I presume I’ve been fired by my doctor, as they won’t answer the phone when I call, or return any of my messages. Why? Because I wanted to wait on getting the shot. You know the one, that requires boosters. Not because I’m an anti-vaxxer, but because I’m the person all pharmaceutical ads are refuting to when they list off all the adverse side effects. I almost died from Farxiga after being switched from the other deadly oral medication for diabetes, Invokana. Any way, this same doctor that discovered the cause of Diabetic Ketoacidosis that rendered me unconscious and comatose for 4 days (Farxiga) got very agitated when I asked if I could wait until some of the science to clear before I took another NON FDA approved medication. I really was hoping to get vaccinated, as I do have several comorbidities. Now here I am looking for a new physician, I literally haven’t been treated for my diabetes since mid 2020. I check my glucose regularly, and I now have a health BMI, losing 50+ pounds. I used to require an insulin pump. Haven’t had it attached to me in 2 years. When I started losing weight I adjusted down the insulin dosing as I started experiencing hypoglycemia. My sugars run between 150-200 so I’ve added walking and burberine I’m hopeful. Funny thing is, my chronic rash is gone, I’m no longer dealing with overactive bladder, and I’m no longer intensely hungry, and I feel satiated much sooner, I think my food portions are about half of what I used to feel I needed. I’ve only been on Berberine about a week, and I’m going to stick with it. I’m healthier now in my mid 59’s than I ever was in my late 30’s and 40’s.

⁠This guy is the most well informed on Barbarine than anyone I have seen! 👏 No Doctor is perfect. Unfortunately they are human and will unintentionally err sometimes. The vast majority are trying to do their best with the unbelievable amount of information about physiology, treatments, all the plethora of medications and even surgical interventions they must learn in Med School. My son is in Med School for Neurology and the amount of stuff required for them to know is staggeringly incomprehensible. Also if their particular school does not teach certain things we can not hold THEM accountable for it. Med schools are known for often rejecting comprehensive medicine - stating lack of research. Pharmaceuticals are so useful in so many things but the profit motive is suspect. With supplements, available studies & anecdotal reports can add up to real data worth considering. We need to pick the right specialists and pick our health care providers very carefully for our particular situation. For example, my 5 Star Internist is AMAZING at LOTS of things - but she doesn’t know everything about everything because she is human - like all of us. ❤

I'm finding on my own that taking berberine and going on healthy diet with exercise of course will cure all this!

I have been taking Berberine now for about 2 years. At first i took it just to manage my blood sugars, because i noticed in the morning my glucose levels were on average, 130. I'd take 1 Berberine and 1 R-lipoic acid(for increased abortion). And my blood glucose would be normal (around 80-85) for the remainder of the day. Then I'd take both tablets on an empty stomach right before bedtime. And it works better when taken on an empty stomach .....in the morning 20 minutes before you eat. It helped me lose a good 40lbs in 4 months. Now i just take Berberine because its a literal rockstar panacea. Its an overall health promoter because it strengthens the gut so well.

The “consult your physician” inclusion is to add a layer of legal protection as a disclaimer. In turn, most physicians don’t want to recommended or instruct a patient on using a supplement such as Berberine. Why would they though? They wouldn’t be protected from legal action if there was a bad reaction. There are so many supplement companies where quality control and source is unknown.

Thanks to Chinese medicine! Berberine has been used there for >2000 years

[@ritagoodhead205]

Thank you so much for helping us. You are an angel in disguise.

I found there’s a new form of it that is absorbed better stays in your system longer for like six hours. Dihydroberberine. This attacks alot of issues I have so I am so thankful for this info. God bless you!

[@HH-gv8mx]

Does this help? Before dinner? I take berberine a half an hour before I eat dinner. Which is also close to bedtime. I thought it would lower my blood sugar and avoid insulin spikes and I eat so close to when I’m laying down. But I’ve been getting up lately and craving sugar. Eating grapes and watermelon, chocolate covered almonds.. when I’m supposed to be sleeping!

[@jen7244]

I find this channel helpful, kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4C9opJ-nbajd6c this video explains the difference between the dihydroberberine and Berberine HCl. I just started taking the Berberine HCl while following IF. HH you may want to try taking it after dinner and eating 2-4 hours before bed. I notice it works better to reduce appetite and stop cravings when I stay away from processed carbs - wish that wasn’t the case!

[@Onedayatatime3160]

@@HH-gv8mx Maybe fight the cravings? Don’t give in to them.

[@HH-gv8mx]

@@Onedayatatime3160 I don’t eat for 17+ hrs a day. I workout. I have asparagus, roasted zucchini, and salad with fish or egg whites. But your defenses are down when you’re tired and you wake up after an hour of sleeping and you’re hungry and you’ve got watermelon already cut up or papaya or 5 pounds of grapes already washed from Costco. I tend to eat them, it’s probably a combination of being thirsty, and that my glucose has spiked because I’ve eaten so far laying down that Ii get hungry .

[@ladrabudka6953]

It could be that the Berberine lowered your blood sugar enough to stimulate your appetite and wake you. You might change to taking it with your dinner.

[@MrLee4love]

Today (13 Nov 2023) it’s my first day taking it. Went to the gym, had to stop twice, diarrhea & it’s ok, I’m looking to do the balancing of lipids & getting to 140, my cholesterol was 155…..

Your vid was very clear and to the point. Thank you.

Wow! This berberine fixes everything! Sounds too good to be true!

But take it with milk thistle but not every day and in small amounts

Great videos! Maybe consider getting a smaller whiteboard so that you can stand on the side of it. I like taking notes and screen shots. I have to try to catch you not blocking the information. Really good information. Thanks!

God bless you Dr. Sung , your a big help to our health . Where can I buy Berberine what kind ?

[@giorgosstefos3454]

I took berberine and found my health

[@Carnahanqueen]

Most of us don’t have a Dr or trust going that they will make the right decision in terms or root causes and healing if I could afford a naturopathic dr i wouldn’t be looking at you tube videos 😊

Today is my first day, taking berberine, Sunshine Nutrition Brand, finger crossed, hope it works

[@LushPasturesShop]

How did it work for you??

[@eliseville]

I’ve got this finally! (2-years keto/IF w/80# lost at plateau 50# to go) Drug interaction warning! Anti-seizure meds like carbamazepine/Tegretol use this CYP3A4 enzyme! Just like grapefruit. I will research, but hoping it also lets me use less carbamazepine💪since grapefruit (other than long 2nd-Kefir-fermented rinds?) are not so ketogenic💔

Love this information I been taking berberine for insulin resistance prevention. I was able to stop BP tablets and helps lost weight. Drs have no clue about this product. I learned about this on utube 😂

[@louferguson7048]

Just found you by searching three day fast. Love all the content. Would love to learn about caloric needs for post menopausal women especially when below average height. Petite women are completely different in caloric needs. I gain weight if I follow a calorie recommendation. My organs are smaller I’m told so needs are less unfortunately

[@sucredulce3572]

Woow. I read this post and I feel so related. Ive noticed that my body is super sensitive to calories in general. Im 5’3” pre menopausal. I got sleeved 6months ago, even with all the restriction i have in my stomach, I m still too sensitive to calorie intake. Im doing water fasting this week bc apparently is the only time I notice any change on my body. Do u have any information reference about your statement? Id loved to find out more info about petite women and food. Thank you.

[@drcandor]

Excellent, and to increase absorption: in general, consume natural substances that contain the supplement ingredient you are taking; reason being they contain the complimentary ingredients to assist assimilation. . . :>/

[@4YearOldPowerSinger]

Hey Doc, I really love your videos, but I'm hearing the traditional berberine doesn't absorb well. What do you think about dihydroberberine?

[@danetteperez3863]

Thank you for presenting this information with such clarity. I wish I could memorize all this!

I watch youtube on my TV where I can "pause" when needed and type up the pertinent info on my laptop!

Great video, thank you! Ive been taking just the minimum dose along with a slight calorie restriction and daily hiit and walking and the scale is finally moving. I am in my mid-40s, PCOS, no adverse reactions so Im going to increase my dose slowly and see how my body responds 😊

I’m on 500mg Metformin 3x a day. I asked my doctor about taking Berberine instead, she said I need to get my A1C down to 6.5 before looking at any alternatives. I’ve been on Metformin for 7 years A1C fluctuates between 6.0 6.9

7 yrs is a long enough trial. It won’t do it.
