INSIGHT

Clotting And Inflammation Drive Most Heart Disease Risk

Most heart disease risk often involves clotting driven by inflammation rather than only plaque buildup.
Dr. Eric Berg links this to high sugar/starch and seed oil intake and recommends lowering carbs and insulin to reduce risk.

ADVICE

Treat Seborrheic Keratosis From Inside Out With D3 And Zinc

Try addressing seborrheic keratosis from the inside by checking zinc status and eliminating seed oils.
Dr. Eric Berg advises higher-dose vitamin D3 (e.g., ~20,000 IU) plus zinc and using unrefined castor oil topically and red light therapy.

ADVICE

Use Specific Red Light Frequencies For Skin Joints And Mitochondria

Try red light therapy to support skin, joint healing, and mitochondrial function.
Dr. Eric Berg notes specific frequencies target joints or cosmetic skin effects and improve mitochondrial photoreceptors.
