In this video, Dr. Berg talks about the best alternative for prednisone. Taking too much prednisone can cause side effects to the point where you couldn’t take it anymore because it doesn’t work. Over 23 million prescriptions are given out every single year in the US. Prednisone is a synthetic version of our own adrenal hormone called cortisol, a very powerful anti-inflammatory.
Prednisone is mainly given to people with these certain types of conditions.
• Asthma
• Allergies
• Skin Issues
• Inflammation
• Autoimmune
• Hives
Side Effects of Prednisone
• Shutting the adrenal system
• Cataracts
• Bone Loss
• Diabetes
• Weight Gain
• Adrenal Atrophy
The safe alternative for prednisone is called vitamin D3, it is a steroid hormone and a very powerful anti-inflammatory. It also gives you a therapeutic effect at higher dosages.
Recommended IUs for Vitamin D3: 30,000 IUs (with 300mcg of K2)

I’ve had allergic reactions most of my adult life that have caused hives to mysteriously appear out of the blue and puzzled my allergists as to the culprit(s) that have caused them. I’ve been taking 1,000 IU’s daily of vitamin D3 for over a year based on Dr. Berg’s suggestion on other youtube videos and haven’t had even one issue with hives since starting this regiment. I’m dumbfounded that this has revealed a correlation of other issues I used to have with other maladies and now do not, based on this video. I hope you have the same outcome as I have and thank Dr. Berg for his overwhelming insight to helping us all with natural cures.

The only thing that controlled it was topical steroid creams I have been taking 30,000 IU's of D3 with 2000 of K2 for three weeks as per the video and i have to say the results have been really encouraging. I barely use the creams now and sleep is easier as it would usually be worse at night. Thanks for this DrB if there is any further info you could provide about Eczema it would be much appreciated. 14/09/2019 - UPDATE.

Dr. Berg, my mom has been on Prednizol for 30 years. She’s been having all these side effects and her sickness been really tough on our whole family. In the last 10-15 years shes been trying to stop taking this steroid and we tried all kind of strategies without luck cause whenever she decreases the dose she starts getting very unwell. So in the last decade she’s been taking it with once a week injection of Metojek and very recently she’s been offered the Simponi which is a biological drug that her doctor said will help her to quit prednizol for good and her stomach and other side effects will go away, however, she still can’t - within last 5 months she has lost a lot of weight, feels very tired, once her legs quit her she couldn’t walk and last week she had an acute cystitis, which might be cause I hear biological drugs reduce your strength to fight infections, so her doctor suggested she continues with 4 mg of prednizol and plus biological drug😢 So i am happy to see this video and alternative treatment to prednizol you suggest but my question, how realistic it is for my mom to quit taking prednisone after so many years and after so many trials that ended up in getting back on prednisone ? 😢😢

I've been on COPD meds for over 13 years now. But since I started taking 20,000IU D-3 and 10,000IU Vit-A everyday, I no longer take those Phama meds. I've been off the Pharma meds for well over a month now! It's GREAT! I still use the O2 bottles, but I'm working to fix that too. Thanks, Dr. Berg! Excellent presentation!

@Damremont18 5 лет назад

Are you concerned about vitamin A toxicity? Just curious. When does the toxic effect of vit A kick in or is it different in people who are in a situation where they need an anti inflammatory.

@katherine9798 5 лет назад

Eagle Grip So pleased to hear. Could I suggest something that worked for my mother who lived until she was 90 with COPD? We discovered serrapeptase (from the Japanese silkworm) which really helped keep her well (in addition to your D3 and K2). Hope this helps.

Very interesting. I've been taking about 5-10mgs of prednisone daily for the last 13 years due to my auto-immune anemia. I'm starting to see signs of bone deterioration and I'm scared to ever lose my vision. I take a supplement that has 6000IUs of D3 and 1800mcg of k2. I'll try increasing this and see how the effects work out. Thank you for this recommendation! Hope it helps!

Dr. Berg. My lab work came back and it threw me for a loop. I have been fasting and twice already my A1-C level has come down, however, my triglycerides did not and got notice to take care of it! Help! The only other thing that might not have helped is that I was drinking a teaspoon of Olive Oil. By the way I do take D-3, daily! Again Doc, thanks!

Luteolin can help. I drink celery juice and also iceberg lettuce juice with small chunk of cucumber. Peanuts have luteolin as well but you could take a supplement. Pau D'arco is amazing for inflammation in general as well. These are the things that helped me so much. I Don't use Advair or inhaler anymore but also on my own specific diet for that. Still try to stay keto as much as I can. I have adrenal fatigue though so had to add a few more carbs in. I Also take the D3, K2 supplement 30,000 IU D3, 300mcg K2 like Doctor Berg recommended.

Interesting stuff! I know someone who was on Prednisone for Sarcoidosis. I'm not sure if they are still on Prednisone, but they were also told to cut back on things fortified with Vitamin D because their levels were too high. Seems like maybe the body was trying to over-produce Vitamin D in response to the Sarcoidosis (and maybe other issues) but maybe that's not something the doctors considered.

This video is great!!! I've been looking into the causes of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). One of the articles you pointed to, shows that D-vitamin regulates the ratio between the Th17 cells and the Treg cells in the immune system which seems to be what is out of whack in AIH. As there are also articles about how D-vitamin is important to take when you have liver problems, and that it can actually limit damage to the liver in animals with induced AIH, you really should consider taking just 'a little extra' D-vitamin - and get out in the sun when you can - if you have AIH 🙂
