KERATOSIS PILARIS Fix? (Sign of Serious Condition?) Chicken Skin Cure

[@heidipurcell7606]

I have been keto for 5 years. I have had KP for years started in my teens. When I went keto in 2017, I realized it began to go away! It is gone now. Such a wonderful video thank you so much for this Dr. Berry! You are such a wonderful source of information and inspiration.

Mine went away with keto too but I got the keto rash on the 3rd month. It looked like a giant T was branded on the front of my torso and it itched. I stuck with it for another month but it never got better so now I'm just low carb.

[@saularana2033]

I´m 55 and I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2020. I´d suffered from KP since I recall, but I started ketogenic diet 5 years ago (without knowing my oncologic condition). 2 years after we started the Ketogenic diet, my wife noticed my KP is completely gone; but the most outstanding moment was when the oncologist told me after the surgery and the analysis of the tumor, that I don´t need chemotherapy, nor other treatments. Today I practice carnivore diet, 99% free of plants except olives (to hard for me to quit them) and free of any medication. Feel like I´m in my 20´s. The message: listen when Dr. Berry tells "whatch out , Is not the Keratosis Pilaris the problem, but the hyperinsulinemia" Obviously the KP is a neon sign telling you "Hyperinsulinemia" as a tatoo on your skin

I had keratosis pilaris until I stopped eating gluten in 2013. It went away, and has never returned. Avoiding all gluten fixed a lot of issues for me. Going keto helped with a lot of other issues. I want you to know I really appreciate your videos.

[@uslee19]

They believe it’s a deficiency of Vitamin A in children. I’ve noticed when there are bumps on the back of my arms that Beta Carotene gets rid of them in two days. I do believe it’s insulin, but other things can cause it as well.

[@sherrih.4053]

@@uslee19 I'm under no illusion that just because giving up gluten fixed it for me that it would work that way for everyone, but it's always good to share information because it might reach someone it would help. It also greatly helped my migraines, and then when I started keto, I now have maybe 4 migraines a year, and only when something gets me really stressed out. Before going gluten free, and then 6 years later on keto, I had more than 4 migraines a month.

Keratosis Pilaris is a deficiency in vitamin B3 (Niacin...FLUSH FREE). The reason why it works with Keto is because B3 is high in meats. I do agree changing your diet to a clean Low Carb/Keto diet will work. But, it's Not the main issue, especially since almost all of our food has been manipulated and is depleted of the nutrients (unless you eat Organic)... Adding a supplement of B3 (aka Niacin) to your everyday vitamins will REMOVE your Keratosis Pilaris completely... You have to be patient as it will take some time to fill your body of missing nutrients that have been missing all of your life! That is how I removed mine...It works! *Note: Niacin, when taken gives the body a feeling of a flushing, which causes your body to turn red and raises your heart rate..When I first took it, I thought I was having a heart attack, after 20-30 minutes it goes away...It's a NORMAL side effect). Please do your research and look at All of the symptoms that you will get as a result of taking Niacin. That way you know what to expect and won't end up calling 911 like I did 😔 There is also a Niacin Flush Free version... It's the one I take, just because I don't like the heart attack feeling 🤣

I was strict low carb for several years and pretty consistent about it. This skin condition mostly vanished for me and my acne also cleared up. Recently, I've been a bit off the wagon and eating more carbs and sugar than I should. I've started to notice some of the "chicken skin" again and a bit of acne on my cheeks. At least it's helping motivate me to get back on the keto wagon.

[@maryfolks9368]

I'm the same way. I was doing so good with IF and keto but I feel off and rolled down a big hill from my wagon lol😂. I don't get it myself, why is it so hard to get started and stick with it again? I have my RA pain as my motivation because most of my swelling went down and I lost weight every week. But no matter how much pain I'm in, I still seem to be missing that dang wagon 🙄😉😊

[@WeRNthisToGetHer]

I think I have this going on and as I've gotten older it's become more crucial to make sure I am eating right for me. I'm getting back on the wagon, too. I never realized it had an effect on my skin but I knew I was insulin resistant because I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I didn't realize this was something I could actually do anything about. They just shrug it off as a benign skin condition.

The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

In the beginning, I too, was skeptical as I listened to the many KZbin doctors. What convinced me were the hundreds (now thousands) of comments below each of Dr. Berry's videos. You could ask your son if he thinks all those comments are fake? Does he think all those comments are made by people lying to themselves? Many report that after taking multiple medications for years, that they've been able to reduce the dosage or even eliminate the meds altogether. That's got to be convincing evidence that some diets are much healthier than other diets.

Thankfully I have been aware of the tendency of my family to develop late onset type 2 diabetes for a long time now, and have taken some steps to delay it from happening to me, or even better still it would be obviously, if I managed to avoid getting it ever . I'm hoping to go on a keto diet to reduce those carbs down even further than I have been doing, and to lose the last of my weight for good. . I am so glad that I came across the concept of intermittent fasting from you and other similar doctors all in favour of this change of lifestyle that is needed for so many of us.

Keratosis Pilaris is a deficiency in vitamin B3 (Niacin...FLUSH FREE). The reason why it works with Keto is because B3 is high in meats. I do agree changing your diet to a clean Low Carb/Keto diet will work. But, it's Not the main issue, especially since almost all of our food has been manipulated and is depleted of the nutrients (unless you eat Organic)... Adding a supplement of B3 (aka Niacin) to your everyday vitamins will REMOVE your Keratosis Pilaris completely... You have to be patient as it will take some time to fill your body of missing nutrients that have been missing all of your life! That is how I removed mine...It works! *Note: Niacin, when taken gives the body a feeling of a flushing, which causes your body to turn red and raises your heart rate..When I first took it, I thought I was having a heart attack, after 20-30 minutes it goes away...It's a NORMAL side effect). Please do your research and look at All of the symptoms that you will get as a result of taking Niacin. That way you know what to expect and won't end up calling 911 like I did 😔 There is also a Niacin Flush Free version... It's the one I take, just because I don't like the heart attack feeling 🤣

the incredible ignorance and insensitivity of 'KP not harmful' is typical of the fundamental systemic problem of modern medicine - the patient's psyche is irrelevant until the damage is done. How devastating it is for a young person's self esteem is extremely important. It can cause social rejection and isolation and this is very serious.

I've lost 35#, four pant sizes, and my blood levels are all excellent. I'm not on any meds at all, just supplements. Still working on my energy levels due to MTHFR issues and ATP production, and sleep and dark chocolate addiction. But mostly I'm much healthier metabolically than I've ever been.

If you feel bad for such a long time on keto/carni it might not be for you. People are different in metabolic type and genetics, so it could be that you need more carbs and being in ketosis is bad for you.

[@cherrieaulait]

I had this as a child, certainly from about age 8. It was on the fronts & backs of my thighs, backs of calves, butt cheeks, backs of upper arms & really red & bumpy. Yet never on any other skin areas. Nobody knew what it was in the 80s & I would be so embarrassed if anyone saw or asked. Age 20 I went into ketoacidosis (a dangerous condition when you don't have enough insulin) & was subsequently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes & started insulin. As my blood sugars improved, the keratosis pilaris on my arms & legs etc. did too. If my blood sugar control worsens it reappears, but not as bad as when I was a child. From my own experience I would assume I never produced enough insulin & so often had elevated blood sugars as a child & that is what had an effect on the keratosis pilaris. So reducing carbs & lowering blood sugars should help. Softening body butters, coconut oil, that sort of thing, do wonders for it too. And I like to think a bit of sunshine so perhaps some Vit D. Great video 👍🏻 & great to see this talked about!

I didn't know what this was, but I have had it for the last two years! I've been carnivore for 6 weeks and it's clearing up, It's almost completely gone now. It was so bad on my arms it was really embarrassing i covered up even in the summer. I'm so glad it's going away. I have a thyroid disorder. I had back to back pregnancies, my babies are 15 months apart. My hormones went completely out of control and I became 100 lbs overweight even with thyroid medication. So far on carnivore I have lost 18 lbs. I have a long way to go, but I already feel amazing.

I have had this condition for as long as I can remember. Mine was on the upper arms, on the thighs and very little on the cheeks. But it has never bothered me. When I was younger I used some products but nothing worked. After 2 years on keto and carnivore, I was surprised to suddenly discover a few months ago that it was gone. Good things happen all the time on keto / carnivore, so I keep going.

Keratosis Pilaris is a deficiency in vitamin B3 (Niacin...FLUSH FREE). The reason why it works with Keto is because B3 is high in meats. I do agree changing your diet to a clean Low Carb/Keto diet will work. But, it's Not the main issue, especially since almost all of our food has been manipulated and is depleted of the nutrients (unless you eat Organic)... Adding a supplement of B3 (aka Niacin) to your everyday vitamins will REMOVE your Keratosis Pilaris completely... You have to be patient as it will take some time to fill your body of missing nutrients that have been missing all of your life! That is how I removed mine...It works! *Note: Niacin, when taken gives the body a feeling of a flushing, which causes your body to turn red and raises your heart rate..When I first took it, I thought I was having a heart attack, after 20-30 minutes it goes away...It's a NORMAL side effect). Please do your research and look at All of the symptoms that you will get as a result of taking Niacin. That way you know what to expect and won't end up calling 911 like I did 😔 There is also a Niacin Flush Free version... It's the one I take, just because I don't like the heart attack feeling 🤣

I have since birthed 7 children and my KP always completely goes away during pregnancy... No diet change. My labs are great... Not elevated. After pregnancy, KP always slowly comes back. I believe genetics and hormones play a large role.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

It’s also caused by VitD deficiency which hyperinsulinrmia exacerbates. Taking CLO is excellent.

Love everything you said except recommending coconut oil for KP. Coconut oil clogs pores which is the opposite of what you’re trying to accomplish when you treat KP. Years ago I used coconut oil on my KP and I have never seen my plugs so clogged. I make it my personal mission to deter people from using this oil on KP and acne prone skin.

[@cammieklund]

WOW!! I have been dealing with KP since my teens and I used to be in KP forums, researching the heck out of what to do about it and what the root cause is. I never heard about this before! I have tried all kinds of diets, including low carb, but it has never gotten any better. So I had just given up on finding something that would work. Since I already tried low carb/keto and even carnivore I thought that it didn't work aswell but I probably would have to do it for a longer time. I struggle as heck with fat adaptation though, I get really bad symptoms like insane intracranial pressure, racing heart and chest pain plus severe insomnia so it hasn't been easy to stick to it. I have a serious oxalate problem though so that's probably one of the reasons that I struggle. But this video was really encouraging to see! I am on an animal based diet with about 100 g of carbs still (some honey and fruits bcs of my previously mentioned issues) and I realize that I have seen about 50 percent improvement in my KP so that's a good start!🌞 I will continue to try to get my carbs even lower and it will be interesting to see what will happen over time.😄

[@melvamelendez9817]

When you say "serious oxalate problem" does it mean you get health problems from eating kale, spinach, chard, etc? If so, makes sense to listen to your body and find alternative plants to eat or simply drop those out of your diet. Some people can't tolerate oxalates.

[@cammieklund]

Mine has come and gone throughout the years and usually never severe until recently. My legs are covered in it pretty bad right now and I recently was on a vacation where I drank a ton of wine and other types of alcohol; my legs broke out with KP worse than I’ve ever seen it. I think diet and exercise make a difference with this condition! I’m from Florida and now life in Colorado, sooo skin is more prone to dry

[@ruirui9490]

Dr. Berry could you please do a few complete "what I eat/drink in a day/week" videos 🙏 💜

[@JH-nb4nn]

Mine was caused by grains/wheat that gave me diarhea. Quit grains/wheat and it went away. Caused by food intolerances which causes a vitamin A deficiency. Not usually just insulin related in my opinion because sugar doesn’t do the same thing to me as wheat. Obviously both should be avoided but wheat is super bad even in small amounts.

[@dana102083]

Well grains cause insulin to spike? When i eat wheat, even once it comes back. He also said associated with hyperinsulinemia, that isn't pointing to cause but one of possibly many. Listen to red flags, though.

[@sixzerotwo]

Yep. Vitamin A (real, not Beta-Carotene) is the ticket. Fixed the back of my arms where I had it most of my teens/early twenties.

[@JH-nb4nn]

Well yes wheat causes insulin to go up but I didn’t eat a lot of grains nor did I eat a lot of sugar or refined food. It still caused a vitamin A and zinc issue whereas eating some plain chocolate/sugar does not do the same thing. It’s a wheat intolerance issue unless you eat a tonne of junk food. Basically everyone is intolerant of wheat.

[@carolina_is_free]

​@@dana102083 What are your experiences with other grains/carbs like potatoes, rice or rye - do they trigger a KP flare-up?

I have started cutting carbs overs the past couple of years and it has gotten better from when I was a kid. Thanks for the info.

[@britanica7539]

I started getting this around 10 years ago and I noticed it is not as bad in the summer, likely because I am getting more D3 but also when I rebound for 4 or 5 days in a row, it goes away. So I think lymphatic drainage plays a role too.

[@michiganebayflipper9497]

So many underlying diseases from diet glad I am on this path now.

[@magpie5589]

It’s also caused by untreated Coeliac Disease but Doctors ignore that 🤷🏼‍♀️ particularly in UK 🇬🇧 where doctors don’t take Coeliac Disease seriously as they should and get you diagnosed, so large numbers of people with Undiagnosed Coeliac Disease are suffering the affects of Coeliac Disease on their bodies (gluten is found in Wheat, Barley and Rye! Also such as Oats if farmed together with wheat, barley or rye). The only treatment is to not eat Gluten at all ever. My chicken skin improved once I was completely gluten free.

My son developed this on the back of his upper arms after mold exposure kicked off mast cell activation syndrome...ironically, it came after he was being treated for the mast cell, and it was getting under control. He also gained a lot of weight at the same time, and had gone off his very restrictive low inflammatory/low histamine diet (because the meds were working).

@@shannonsmith6806, they suspected it, didn't really test for it as it can be difficult.

Typically, if the H1 & H2 inhibitor work quickly, they can assume that it is mast cell.
