The Amazing Gallbladder & Vitamin A, D, E and K2 Connection (Part - 3) – Dr.Berg

Here is what you need to know about the gallbladder & vitamin A, D, E, and K2 connection. Enjoy part 3 of this important 4 part series.

hey it’s Dr. Berg here in this video we’re going to talk about the amazing gallbladder part 3 in part 1 we talked about the function of the gallbladder and it releases bile to help you break down fats in part two we talked about referred pain in all the different pain sources it can go to that are up in the right shoulder blade and neck and area right here and then now in part three we’re going to talk about some additional important functions that you need to know the other thing that I wanted to mention is that one of the triggers for production of bile is to have a very strong acid in your stomach if you know anything about pH when the pH goes down that’s more that’s more acid if it goes up it’s less acid and so if you go from a pH between 1 and 3 that’s like battery acid it’s so strong and that is the acid that you need in your stomach when the acid starts going up to high then like a 4 or 5 you’re not going to be able to release the bile from this and the way that you’re going to know that you lose your stomach acids is the valve on top of the stomach that keeps the acid into the stomach will start opening up they call that GERD so GERD really or acid reflux is low stomach acids not high stomach acids and those low stomach acids are not able to trigger the closure of that valve and that in the acid reflux will splash up into the esophagus so so if you if you have acid reflux or GERD then we know you’re not going to have enough bile okay so that’s just an indication to a clue to be able to kind of think with this system and how it works they’re both connected so you want to understand the whole situation and just in the side note one of the most common reasons why people don’t have enough stomach acid is they’re on low sodium diets so when you or salt diets sodium chloride chloride helps break up to make hydrochloric acid and if you don’t have enough salt like people are having a low salt diet you start your pH becomes more alkaline and you have a lot of digestive problems so that’s as side note okay now if this bile is in sufficient amounts you’ll be able to absorb vitamin A and but if you don’t have enough bile your vitamin A deficiency will manifest as night blindness can’t see in the dark it’s difficult to see when the headlights are shining in your eye also your skin will be dry you’ll have all sorts of problems with your skin little lose little bumps all over the place and also the lining of your skin on the inside of your sinuses and your throat will be affected so laryngitis sinusitis anything internal the lining on the inside of your body is controlled by vitamin A so here you are taking all this vitamin A but it’s not working because you don’t have enough bile right you may see because bile is recycled you may not have enough because it’s not being recycled or it’s just not being produced and so I always recommend to take some purified bile salts to be able to see if that helps you and if it does then we know we can start to improve the your own body’s production but it’s a real simple inexpensive way to test to see if that is your problem okay and again I’m not diagnosing any diseases here these this is just stuff to think with so you and your doctor can work together and give them other solutions other than removing this thing okay so we’ve added vitamin A also if you’re low in vitamin A you’re going to get acne I mean take a look at Accutane what does that contain that’s for acne what is it it’s concentrated vitamin A but it’s in a toxic amount that’s why there’s a lot of side effects so if you have enough vitamin A because you have enough bile you’re probably not going to get acne okay vitamin D is vitamin D important oh my goodness vitamin D basically controls the absorption of calcium and so if you can’t absorb calcium you have all sorts of issues calcium is not just bone building but it has to do with muscle and heart contraction it has to do with cellular communication it has to do with improving the immune system it has a lot to do with a lot of different functions because it’s the main mineral that helps communication between the cells it actually carries hormones between cells so vitamin D is very important and so people a lot of times are so low vitamin D levels but it’s not because they’re not consuming food with vitamin D it’s because they don’t have enough power to absorb it yeah so so how do you know if you don’t have enough bile well just go down the list do I have bloating burping belching constipation do I have right shoulder pain these are just you know classic symptoms of low bile ok vitamin D now we have vitamin k2 this is a really important vitamin I talked about in some of the other videos but vitamin k2 is different than vitamin k1 vitamin k2 is a calcium transporter it basically keeps the calcium out of the soft tissues now if you look at a lot of health conditions whether you’re getting older and you’re getting stiffer you’re getting arthritis hardening of the arteries it’s going to cause high blood pressure strokes because there’s calcium plaquing in the brain cataracts on the eye that’s calcium in the eye kidney stones gallstones spurring all this extra calcium in the soft tissues that is because you don’t have enough vitamin K that’s why and so if you’re taking vitamin K and you don’t see improvement in this calcium issue it’s because you probably don’t have enough bile so you have to think of the things the cascade effect that can happen you have to think backwards and see what’s before vitamin K2 vitamin k2 is in all the grass fed animal products like grass-fed butter grass-fed beef you know that type of thing it’s in a lot of the things that people are telling you to avoid they say avoid fat well you need vitamin k2 I take it as a supplement because I I have a lot of soft tissue calcium because of my old injuries and the spurring in my back that I had so I’m using that to help clean that up the k2 is really important in a lot of conditions especially if your body’s getting stiff and it’s turning into a stone but again we want to make sure we have enough bilel so soft tissue calcium issues can be caused by lack of bile all right so that’s part three I’ll see you in a part 4
