What helps your digestion after a heavy meal? Dr. Eric Berg, DC, not MD; information only

@MakisMedicine Wonder if it would help the inflammation of pericarditis? High doses of NSAIDS and colchicine are hard on the GI tract.

NEW ARTICLE: RESEARCH - Ivermectin and AUTOIMMUNITY - How Ivermectin could help Autoimmune diseases - 2025 Paper by Iraqi researchers 2025 Sadeq et al - The immunomodulatory effect of Ivermectin on rat vasculitis model Ivermectin is "immunomodulatory" - it modifies or regulates the immune system's response Vasculitis means inflammation of the blood vessel walls. It can damage vessels, reduce blood flow, cause bleeding or clots, and harm organs. The immune system overreacts, releasing inflammatory chemicals, activating neutrophils, and producing antibodies that attack the body’s own tissues. This study aimed to investigate immunomodulatory effects of IVERMECTIN on the rat vasculitis model. This experimental animal study used 33 male Winstar rats divided into 5 groups: Group I (Control): Healthy rats (no disease, no drug). Group II (Disease / Vasculitis group): Rats given ovalbumin (from egg whites used to sensitize immune system) + LPS (a bacterial toxin) to trigger vasculitis. Groups III–V (Ivermectin treatment groups): Rats pretreated with ivermectin daily for 7 days at three different doses (0.5, 1.0, or 1.5 mg/kg), then given the same ovalbumin + LPS to induce vasculitis. They measured blood levels of inflammatory markers (IL-6, CRP, MPO-ANCA) and examined lung tissue under the microscope for TLR4 expression (a key inflammation trigger). IL-6 (a pro-inflammatory signaling protein) CRP (C-reactive protein, a marker of body-wide inflammation) MPO-ANCA (antibodies linked to certain vasculitis that target neutrophils) TLR4 (a receptor on cells that senses danger signals like bacterial toxins and kicks off inflammation) RESULTS: Group II (disease, no treatment) showed strong inflammation as expected: Much higher IL-6, CRP, and MPO-ANCA in blood. Strong TLR4 staining in lung tissue (lots of inflammation signaling). Groups III-V (IVERMECTIN) - All three ivermectin-pretreated groups had significantly lower levels of these markers compared to Group II The reductions were clear even at the lowest dose (0.5 mg/kg), and higher doses generally looked better, though all worked well. Microscope images of lung tissue confirmed less TLR4 expression in the ivermectin groups — the inflammation “alarm system” was quieter. The authors conclude that IVERMECTIN has immunomodulatory (immune-calming) effects in this rat vasculitis model. Ivermectin appears to: Dampen the initial innate immune response (via TLR4). Reduce production of key inflammatory signals (IL-6). Lower harmful autoantibodies (MPO-ANCA). Protect blood vessel and tissue integrity. CONCLUSION: The researchers suggest IVERMECTIN could potentially help protect against vasculitis or similar inflammatory conditions by turning down overactive immune responses without completely shutting down the immune system. KEY POINTS… IVERMECTIN could help auto-immune conditions by: decreasing expression of TLR4 (TLR4 or Toll-like receptor 4 drives autoimmunity by bridging innate and adaptive immunity, causing chronic inflammation and tissue damage) decreasing production of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 decreasing production of autoantibodies If you have not heard about Ivermectin's immunomodulatory abilities from your doctor, your doctor is not reading recent medical literature. It's ok. Most of them don't. 🤷‍♂️

@DrKristieLeong @fmfclips @foundmyfitness Broccoli sprouts carry a high risk for bacterial contamination with Salmonella and E. Coli.

I agree with all of the above. My only question is why take sulforaphane as a supplement when you can eat broccoli sprouts daily? Most sulforphane supplements are extracted under high heat and you don't get significant myrosinase. Without the myrosinase, which is abundant in broccoli sprouts, you might only convert 10% to 20% of the dose. In contrast, the whole plant provides the substrate, the catalyst, and the fiber matrix.

8 supplement staples for @foundmyfitness: • Vitamin D • Omega-3s • Multivitamin • Magnesium • Sulforaphane • Creatine • Ubiquinol • Phytosomal curcumin

@DavidPerlmutter @DrDaleBredesen PS I live in the Boston area and have had two doctors refuse to test fasting insulin! I paid an online company to test Omega 3 Index and will over time determine which of the tests you describe can be done as well.

Your brain’s immune cells can either protect you or work against you. In this conversation with @DrDaleBredesen, we explore how microglia are shaped by metabolism, sleep, diet, and lifestyle. Alzheimer’s prevention starts years before symptoms. Watch here: youtu.be/zvRm0ppXlfY?si…

@DavidPerlmutter @DrDaleBredesen Such an empowering discussion. Thank you, Doctors, for the sharing your thoughts and research with us so that we may optimize our brain health. I’ve read your books and I am currently reading The Ageless Brain. Looking forward to Brain Defenders.

@dr_ericberg Clove to water ratio?

@dr_ericberg Walking within 45 minutes after a meal.

Which habit affects your digestion the most?

@hjluks In my seventh decade, the only time I stop is when a painful joint prompts me to.

And more importantly: did your body actually tell you to stop, or did you assume you needed to? one of the most common finding in my office is that patients have stopped doing things their bodies could still do, on the basis of assumptions that were never tested. They basically narrowed preemptively.

Don't Let Your Lives "Narrow"!! I've been an orthopedic surgeon for 30 years. The thing I watch happen to people, more than any injury or surgery, is refer to as the narrowing. Most of my patients have no idea it's happening to them. They think it's just aging. It's not. 🧵

@DavidPerlmutter Spent most of of the day outside walking then sitting in the fresh air and sunlight. After a cold and snowy winter in New England, 58 degrees felt like a gift.

Have you stepped outside today? Sunlight, fresh air, and movement may seem simple, but they send powerful signals to the brain and body. Often the most important health interventions are also the most basic.

@dr_ericberg Greek yogurt

Which fermented food feels the easiest to digest?

@dr_ericberg Dark chocolate with 72% cacao or higher.

What healthy treat satisfies your cravings for sweets?

@thegarybrecka Wood cutting boards cannot be sterilized and may harbor bacteria. What about stainless?

If you want to reduce your exposure to microplastics, start here. Your cutting board. Every time you cut on plastic, tiny particles are ending up in your food. You won’t see it, but it adds up over time. This was an easy switch for me: Plastic → wood. Sometimes it’s the small, daily things that matter most.

Consuming around 75 grams of added sugar is enough to temporarily drop your testosterone by ~25% That’s about as much sugar as you'd get from a donut and a soda Research shows this testosterone drop occurs within just 2 hours, driven in part by insulin spikes interfering with hormonal signaling While the dip is temporary, regularly snacking on sugar-loaded, ultra-processed foods likely means frequent hormonal disruptions, impacting mood, energy, and muscle mass

@GregoryMaysMD Why don’t doctors want to order fasting insulin tests? I had two refuse to order for me.

The first sign of insulin resistance usually isn’t high glucose. It’s higher insulin needed to keep glucose normal. By the time glucose rises, the process has often been developing for years.

@DrFrankLipman Makes me wonder if we can store our own stem cells in young adulthood for future use.
