In a Nutshell

Dr. Berg emphasizes treating root causes over symptoms, with high-dose vitamin D3 (20,000-30,000 IUs daily) as the most effective intervention for psoriasis, MS, and most skin conditions. Cholesterol doesn't cause heart attacks—68% of sufferers have normal or low LDL, while soft plaque reversal occurs through keto/fasting and aged garlic extract. Key protocols include environmental changes to eliminate carb cravings, bile salts/TUDCA for gallbladder issues, and removing grains/refined foods to address childhood eczema and constipation.

Psoriasis responds very well to higher doses of vitamin D3. Therapeutic dosages require getting levels up close to 100 by taking 20,000 or 30,000 IUs of vitamin D3 every single day. Magnesium must be taken to help absorption. Continuing to consume grains, especially wheat, can aggravate the gut and worsen psoriasis. Light therapy with certain frequencies of light called photo modulation is very effective for psoriasis and eczema.

European cheeses are preferred over American options. A farmer in Southern Virginia makes high-quality cheese that gets bought out completely. Limburger cheese is consumed despite the smell because of how it makes the body feel. Morbier cheese is also liked. The best bet is finding grass-fed organic cheese in America. Kerrygold would be the relatively least expensive option. Sheep cheese and goat cheese are preferred, with plans to make sheep cheese.

Flat surfaces like cement are hard on hips. Bodies were designed to run on uneven surfaces. Starting backward walking and hiking is recommended as very therapeutic for joints, especially feet. The cerebellum doesn't get triggered on flat surfaces going forward, but walking on uneven surfaces or uphills exercises the brain. Omega-3 fatty acids and low-carb diet help hip inflammation. New data shows osteoarthritis may involve unfriendly microbes rather than just wear and tear. An initial injury like falling on the tailbone could create a crevice for microbes to invade. Long-term antibiotics have side effects, so oregano oil and garlic oil are suggested as natural antibiotics that won't kill good bacteria.
