Cod Liver Oil Benefits – Dr.Berg

Check out these amazing benefits of cod liver oil!

hey guys Dr Burke here in this short video we’re going to talk about cod liver oil so I’m sure your grandmother always recommended it it was a really good ancient remedy for so many things but let’s talk about why number one it has a perfect balance of vitamin A and vitamin D these are two very special vitamins that support the immune system and they’re different in that they’re fat sble which means they can penetrate the cell membrane which is all fat fats go right into the center of the cell and manipulate the DNA so they’re they almost act as a prehormone and they’re very powerful um so colive oil um is a great source because most of the fat Tyle vitamins are kind of like stored in the liver so if you were to consume uh food that had fat soluble vitamins you would consume either grass-fed liver codiva oil grass-fed butter wild CAU fish salmon has it um egg yolks all the fat hats and those will provide these vitamins okay now in the winter months you don’t get as much sun so that’s why that’s when you would take this and this is really good to support your immune system so you don’t I mean if you notice people during the fall they get the flu right well if they took cive oil they probably wouldn’t get the flu and just on a side note on flu almost every single person and I know who gets the flu shot ends up getting the flu so I don’t get those flu shots anymore I think it creates more problems but they’re injecting with a certain virus okay so you could take it if you have a weak immune system take during the winter months and then you can also take it to give you uh some really good powerful calcium metabolizing um Vitamins because what happens calcium and other minerals mobilize with fat cyal vitamins now I had uh two separate patients come into my office and they went an extremely lowfat diet where they got rid of all the fat in their diet one person lost her teeth one person lost her hair and that is because you need these vitamins to help uh mobilize protein and minerals to keep your teeth intact so it’s a really good thing um the problem is when you do these vitamins and plant Source you’re not going to get the quality or the amount because all the plant sources of vitamin A for example are actually a previtamin a they have to be converted and it only converts like 4% so you really need the animal source of this and uh now the problem with traditional Cal liver oil um it’s highly prostat it’s like heated over 400 degrees for 6 hours so they kill everything in it because those those um essential fatty acids are very delicate so they’re going to get destroyed with that heat so you want a high quality CER oil you want to spend a little bit more on that so I put a link down below of an extra virgin cival oil okay that is an unprocessed raw Civ oil and that’s the one that you need to get and it’s worth the extra money because the way it’s processed it’s like very very um unprocessed the other thing that people want to know about when they ask me is like what about the blue ice it’s a fermented cive oil well it might be a good thing and I’m I’m not against it the only thing is that I have a disagreement is that you can’t ferment an oil fermentation occurs with carbohydrates not fats so I have a problem with that little point but it might be a good thing I don’t really know I haven’t really tested it okay so now if you want to support your immune system I would recommend through the winter months going with this and take a teaspoon a day all right thanks for watching
