Dr Axe.. Such a good guy. He is also a good speaker, and doesn't seem fake at all. He actually motivates - that is why I am watching all his great RU-vid videos to get in better health.
Frostak: What does he do that makes you think he's fraudulent? Is it that he's not a traditional MD? I worked for MDs for 35 years, and as a result I am more trusting of Dr. Axe and Dr. Bergman than most MDs who wants to fix everything with another pill, regardless of their many sides effects.
He seems honest to me, but a bit unspecific. I totally agree with him on what causes leaky gut in modern era, all the things that he mentioned and that need to go away from our lives, but I'm not convinced when young people brag about old good times. They were not there to see or they could see people had all sort of disease then, especially infectious and many died young. The remaining ones were the strongest ones. What is beneficial dirt anyway? If he means not washing your salad, greenies and fruits... that's the best way to get toxoplasmosi, sometimes even leptospirosi. You make your choice.
my grandpa use to roll up a small pea size mud when it rained and tell us to eat it and told us like this dr said that God made us from dirt and one day our bodies will turn back into dirt... and he'll tell us to eat it. wow, now i understand why....this is very interesting. 😊👍
Huge fan of Dr. Axe. True example of medical and homeopathic integrity. Thanks for supporting him and having him on your channel. So many people need to hear these wise words. He truly wants health for all. Down with processed foods and fast foods. Please take the time to love, nourish and heal our bodies with good whole foods. God's medicine. We're all worth it :)
I know we all have our own opinions and so I will say it’s not. I saw MD’s for years and non of them helped me. Just a bandage was all they did. I found a great NP and she finally started to help me and find out what was wrong. I did end up seeing a specialist thanks to her that helped diagnose one of my major problems and now we are working on healing my gut.
Shenghou lee hi, yes. She had send in a stool sample and food out I had salmonella and then we tested for SIBO and found that I had that. But of coarse we treated with Antibiotics. We tried natural, but it wasn’t helping. Then did prescription. Right now I’m back to the Fodmap diet, due to I don’t tolerate food well. I make make own bone broth without onion or garlic. Onions are number one in contributing to my first diagnosis of IBS and garlic is second. So right now I’m going back to the beginning, but it’s because I started to add in foods I can’t tolerate.😔
I liked your comment about we are always indoors and that is one of the reasons for lack of biome diversity. I remember old pictures of farming families whereas the mother is overweight but all her kids including her husband are slim and fit. Being indoors constantly is a killer.
The title of your book, Eat Dirt, amused me. I used to work for an elderly man making his meals etc. He had a big backyard so I decided to grow an organic garden. One day I went to gather some lettuce for a salad. It was the curly kind and I had a hard time getting all the dirt rinsed out of the curly parts but I had finally got rid of all the dirt or so I thought. As we were eating supper, I noticed there was still a bit of dirt in the curls and I remarked on it. Then I said, "Oh, well, we all have to eat a pint of dirt before we die." The old guy said, "Well, I didn't want it all in one meal." :)) If he was still alive, I'd buy your book for him. :))
omgosh!! that is amazing about Dr Axes mom so happy to hear that he was in the best time to help her and that she is doing so great thats what i want for my health thanks for sharing this
here in Africa we are taught that when you get to a new place put the soil in water and drink it. We still do it for young babies when you to a new place.
Brave souls..I was once at a restaurant and ate a big bite of salad....and within the spinach leaves was a huge gob of mud and grit. I have had gut health issues off and on for a long long time. I am looking for help. I read and listen to all info I can find ...try them all but still suffering. I say do not flirt with the dirt!😊
His first leaky gut drink mix was so wonderful!! The first product that helped get me out of the hospital and pain!! Please bring it back!! It was so minty and fresh 🥹
Yeah in some areas yeah but no excuse not eat diets, better than eat some cookies and eat no dirt or no clay that's fine, gmo or atrfical chems and shit in the cookies far far worse ?
Bentonite clay my choice calcium. And sodium types. 75 natural minerals. One lady told me I'm eating lead and cadnuim I said yep. I saw the analysis lead was 0,03.ppm spinich was 5 times higher. Eat dirt works. My fav mushroom blends, living clay, chaga, food wise deer moose fish. No grains no sugar. In 4 months I cut insulin 74 % lost brain fog get way better in bed for 63, sleep better. Natural is the way man and no food with labels, just meat butter eggs most wild game makes a huge difference, thank God I caught stuff in time 2 years ago I was heavy slow and got chest pains. For vit I use a good multi mag, and d3 in winter. I only come off kito once while to eat citrus peaches Berries now and then. All perscitions gave away or in the toilet. Except insulin now and then if I eat fruits
Back in the late 90's I read an article online that said that 35,000 metric tons of cosmic dust fall on the earth every day, which explains why the ancient cities are under several feet of dirt. As I recall there was some mention that cosmic dust has a full spectrum of minerals. I've tried to find that article and I can't find it anywhere.
Fantastic. I am always healthier when I get my hands dirty at work or in the garden. Have always struggled with leaky gut, healing it is a long journey, but it is worth the struggle.
I’m listening to this and it take me back 40 years when my mom gave one teaspoon of dirt in a glass water - she use dirt from around the fire that was cool
I took farm-raised trout thinking it was salmon without reading the label. when I cooked it & it smelled like the sewer and the taste was the same I took that back it was gross and I learned a valuable lesson never eat farmed fish and read labels always.
here's a few suggestions for relieving leaky gut at home Eat a whole food, nutrient-rich diet that avoids foods which irritate your gut Make sure your digestion is working: You can follow an idea diet, but if you aren’t digesting food appropriately, it is not going to help. Find and eradicate underlying food sensitivities - eliminate a suspected food for a period of time Discover ways to reduce and eliminate stress:eg Prayer, meditation, yoga, adequate sleep, and acupuncture Eat gut healing foods and nutrients Balance your gut flora using appropriate amounts of fermented foods in your diet each day. Find and eliminate gastrointestinal infections Consider the use of gut-irritating medications: Reduce exposure to environmental toxins Get enough sleep and avoid overtraining which are a form of stress to the body. (I learned these and the reasons they work on Richala Remedy System website )
+PaleaHacks There are a few factors in reducing leaky gut quickly . One plan I found which succeeds in merging these is the Richala Remedy System (check it out on google) definately the no.1 plan i've seen. look at the great info .
There is this store in our neighbourhood which sold products from Uganda and Nigeria, and one of the products I saw in this place a small block of some packaged product and the store lady said that it was actually mud from deep on the earth and this is mostly eaten by pregnant mothers in Uganda. It tasted horrible just plain mud taste but the benefits are claimed to be very good.
Usually seen in W/Africa. They say it's white mud that is collected, boiled and dried out before being sold.. Some pregnant ladies eat it and some older generation claim it's medicinal.
Africans Caribbeans Greek , china etc have always ate dirt but western people try to convince people that it's wrong😔 these people have known the benefits forever
What could happen if one adds a spoon of dirt into a fermentation jar with salt and some pickles? Does fermentation kills any parasite eggs in the soil?
This is my first time listening to this wonderful person. When he talks about prayer 🙏🏾 that grabs my attention, and then the Exodus. I have been suffering from lots of reflux, anemia, parasites invasion, maybe leaky gut. I had enough of this indigestion with no where to turn. One love Dr Axe 🪓
You sound like the great Paul Check. He was saying this for years. So true, the gut is where it starts. But I think paying attention to signs - like the first signs of a decline in health. I’m now 100% clear of Psoriasis and never been happier.
I love you Dr Josh. ...I watch all your videos. .. you are amazing... all the information you provide for free. ... no other will do. .... that's GREAT man
I truly 100% agree with you! YES. Dr. Axe has awesome health info for those who actually take the time to learn! I help educate others -for those who don't have time to watch his videos
*I bought this when my adrenal fatigue treatment stalled. I don't have any GI issues, but I am trying to figure out why my blood work levels are not improving despite the supplements I have been taking for over a year (D3, iron, DHEA, etc..) and my adrenal fatigue recovery has plateaued without complete resolution of the fatigue and sleep difficulties. I stumbled upon the absorption issue theory of leaky gut, which in my mind would make sense for my above complaints. I also continue to have a strong addiction to sugar despite a year of dietary and lifestyle changes. Although much improved, there are times everyday when I feel like I have poison ivy and people tell me not to scratch, my body MUST have sugar for the pain and impulse of the sugar craving to go away. Understanding more about yeast in the gut and it's need for sugar to survive helped me understand the strong impulses for sugar. Convinced this is a logical thing to at least try to rule out that it is not a gut issue, I bought this leaky gut product and probiotics from another brand. I have taken both products for 2 weeks. The first week (like the fist week of the Whole 30) was filled with bowel changes and intense headaches, but after the "detox and adjustment" phase, I am convinced of the benefits for this product combined with probiotics. My stomach was visibly flatter in the first week. My sugar cravings are reducing significantly. Plain water can quench my thirst rather than needing flavored (sweetened) water, I am hungry less frequently throughout the day and at bed time. I am optimistic about continuing the treatment. The down side is the flavor. Adding it to water as directed was absolutely foul tasting. I tried for 4 days to take it with water, reducing the amount of water so I could get it down in one gulp and chasing it with the remainder of the required water to get rid of the taste. It was still just awful. Other reviews said they mixed it with juice. So even though I am trying to reduce sugar in my diet, I felt sticking with this treatment was worth adding a bit of juice to my diet. So I take it with orange juice and the the flavor is no longer a problem. Hope this helps, and good luck with your own journey to health.* Excellent results to compliment adrenal fatigue recovery, but take it with juice not water.
try to zis the Lemon skin and put it in your salad then do a search on "why you should always freeze your Lemons" I think this will solve a lot of your problems,then let me know what your results are my name is Larry Silva i'm on FaceBook
If I could guarantee that no parasites or harmful entities would be in the dirt, I’d eat it. I used to eat it when I was young in the 80’s and 90’s and I liked it
So, in other words, you didn't listen to the video because he made it clear within like the first two minutes of his talk that that's not what this was about.
My Mother told us kids that when she and her siblings were younger living down south, they use to eat fried dirt...of course my siblings were looking at her like...😳. But apparently they were on to something.
Ginger actually makes me worst. Candida doesn't necessarily mean you have cold/dampness. Chinese doctor told me I actually have too much heat and when I'd eat warming foods like ginger it would cause dry itchy scalp and skin.
I used to eat mud as a child as play. Was always healthy til I grew up and stopped. We keep geese and I've watched them pull up weeds and clean them in their water. They will then ensure the goslings drink from the water. They know more than we do!
actually she is softening the bones with soil organisms. Raw Bones and Rawhyde are not safe for Dogs to eat. Both can cause Blocked Gut that is often fatal
If you like this talk you may also like content from Amandha volmer, Clive De Carle, Andrew Kaufman, Mango man Wayne Pickering all have very similar discussions on a range of health related topics!
absolutely there are pro bionics in the ground thats why veggies and fruits that come from the dirt are healthy for us. I found there is a great soil based probiotics that does not need refrigeration. GOOD STUFF GUYS!!!
People always over look fresh caught Catfish !! In TX . I can go catch my own fresh fish almost yr. round light flavor versatile , and has all the good fats & oils !!
I am pregnant and got severe morning sickness. So i bought luvos clay here in Germany. It helped me with my morning sickness and acidity. But i feel addicted to it. I ate last week 5 teaspoons daily. It says on that packet that it contains silicates, iron, zinc and calcium but i was just wondering if it also has lead and nickel in it? May be you know about it. Please tell me. I really crave for it now 24*7
Yes. I've seen pregnant ladies love nibbling on this dried white mud, so I guess it could be addictive. I used to have a friend who loved having a piece of ginger in her mouth when she was pregnant.
i really feel like our bodies tell us exactly what we need if we listen. i have always craved dirt, when i was younger i use to eat it and as i got older would suck on rocks for the dirt taste lol eventually grew out of it as you’re obviously told not to eat dirt SMH boutta find a way to incorporate it into my life again HAHAHAHAH
I WONDERED IF I COULD JUST TRY EATING SOME DIRT, I REMEMBER MAKING MUDPIES WHEN I WAS ABOUT 3 AND EATING THEM OR TRYING TO ANYWAY? I HAD SUCH BAD GUT ISSUES I COULDN'T EAT ANYTHING MUCH, JUST FISH, ENDED UP AROUND 35 KILO, I'M 5'3" IN HOSPITAL, MISDIAGNOSED BY GASTRO AS BEING ANOREXIC, I THINK HE JUST NEEDED TO FIND A DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE HE HAD NO IDEA ABOUT GUT MICROBIOME, I COULDN'T EVEN WALK, I GOT WELL ON THEIR DIET OF VEGETABLES PUREED AND EATING DISORDER CLINIC STARTED FEEDING ME HIGH FRUCTOSE DRINK THAT WAS SO ADDICTIVE, I GOT FAT LATER, BUT MY DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS WERE TOTALLY GONE, THEN I HAD A FACELIFT, INTRAVENOUS ANTIBIOTICS AND LOADS OF PAINKILLERS STARTED THE WHOLE NIGHTMARE AGAIN, I'M JUST RECOVERING NOW AND RESEARCHING, CHINESE HERBS HAVE BEEN LIFE SAVER!
Allen Miller Thanks but if I remember correctly he says something like, "when I say 'eat dirt' I don't just mean go outside and eat a scoop of dirt". But what's the difference? if it's the same organic soil he's saying we need? Why not just eat some earth you've collected alongside the vegtables you've bought? Please some more people answer me. Thanks
I'm not suggesting going outside and eating dirt. I just don't clean off the small amount of dirt you find on mushrooms. He even seems to suggest if you buy carrots from the farmers market you don't wash off the carrots or peel them since there are small amounts of dirt on the carrots.
Allen Miller Yes but that's not answering my question. Organic soil is organic soil whether a vegetable has grown in it or not. Surely collecting and eating some of that good earth is the same as not washing it off a vegetable if it was grown in it?
So go out and eat the soil. Its your choice. Sprinkle your organic soil over your food. Its your body and your health. If you think that's what he is suggesting do it.
Allen Miller I'm asking to hear from someone who has experience with this, maybe clinical experience such as doctor Axe. I would like to hear others opinions and experiences on this as I can't see how it could be any different. Please stop not helping. Cheers.
and the latest thing is we're supposed to fast not only intermittent but block fasting which encourages the destruction of old cells and stimulation of new supposed to be the be-all-and-end-all according to Jason Fung.
James Brandon I have been watching this guys videos to see if he ever mentions Diatomaceous Earth. And so far he keeps talking around it, Like he is being sponsored for all these different supplements. But Diatomaceous Earth is the only way to go.
The ONLY thing that healed my gut. He talks around it because he wants people the buy his products. When all you need is food grade diatomaceous earth. When I first discovered it, I started doing more research and was shocked that people weren't praising this stuff from the rooftops. It was actually HARD to find good research, and testimonials on it. But what I did find was pure gold, although it took some digging...no pun intended. My gut problems all stemmed from mercury toxicity (I had 14 amalgam fillings at one point, which all but 3 have been removed by traditional dentists that do not usesafe measures when removing them), which lead to candida overgrowth, which lead to leaky gut (candida literally eats you from the inside out, that's what it's there for- we all have it in our gut to help the body decompose when we die), which then lead to a misdiagnosis of an autoimmune disease-crohns. My energy was in the toilet, my fiance was growing tired of my non existent libido, I was constantly constipated, I had crazy mood swings and brain fog made it impossible to concentrate. My eyes got worse at every eye appointment. Since starting DE, I've noticed my energy skyrocket, my bowels are normal and multiple times a day, my brain feels clearer.... even if I get nothing else from taking it, those few things are well worth it for me!! I laugh at the doubters that say to never try DE internally, because they are the same people who will pop any pill a PRACTICING doctor gives them to mask their symptoms....and frown upon a NATURAL AND 100% SAFE supplement from the earth to treat the ROOT CAUSE. 🙃
@@HealWeGoAgain Hi , I would love to know if you think it would be safe for my 12 year old daughter to try Diatamaceous Earth, as she has allergies and cant eat wheat and sugar. I had tried taking DE for 10 days, but I developed flu like symptoms and gave up. Though after a few months I realised that a lot of the issues I had like knee pain and lack of energy have got solved. I have the same allergies too, and don't react as much as my daughter now. So I want to try DE for her as well. Please tell me what you think. Thanks
geetmanchanda . Noticed your comment with regard to becoming sick after taking de. Many times people get Herxheimers reaction when doing detox programs . It is normal as the nasties are all dying and need to be removed quickly thus straining your organs . This phenomenon is also called detox sickness . You just need to start with a small dose and gradually work up . Do more research is my humble suggestion . Godbless Pat nz
I am a fan of Dr Axe. Just one thing is expected from him, which is to be least commercial as possible because money destroys potential. I have observed you recommend enzyme supplements; I expected you would recommend direct food sources such as pineapples and papayas too for dygestive enzymes. I always try to prefer direct food sources in stead of purchasing supplements. Of course, if they are not available as food, I would purchase supplements.
Awesome Testimony and so good to hear! Good to know people genuinely care from the heart ❤️ God put so much here for us to implement and understand! Thank you Dr. Axe! Thank you dear Lord!
Hi, thanks for the knowledge. I read in an article that the live cultures in yogurt would have died before they can enter our intestines, is this true or not?
Paul Tremblay cat litter is clay based, diatomaceous earth is not as it's silica unless you buy the kind intended as pest control around barns and that stuff is not pure diatomaceous earth. You should talk with a naturopath for their advice.
D.E. = Leaky Gut and Free Silica Lung Disease. D.E. Food grade or not should never be used in people or pets. Bentonite Clay or just plain dirt dug deep from forest or wild lands is best and no ill long term effects like with D.E.
TBI Firefighter Are you talking about silicoproteinosis? That happens when people inhale DE, not from drinking it and it usually occurs after prolonged exposure (days to years) of high concentrations. Proper precautions such as a dust mask limits the risk of this occurung. Bentonite clay can also be inhaled if precautions aren't taken.
we get so much conflictling information they used to say the crockpot took all the nutrition out of the food. only last night I was listening to dr. Greger and he had me convinced to go on a total plant diet that IGF1 because of animal products was going to kill me.
read dr furnham and paul bragg. Animal protein has cholesterol but on a plant based diet your protein comes from legumes with no cholesterol footprint. It's obvious that a plant based diet will provide a much healthier lifestyle and help you in the long run.
From my own life experience, I KNOW that either encourage people to reduce their sanitizing habits or to drink a glass of wine are both absolutely COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE things because most of people on earth are already to dirty and prone to get drunk, so saying stop using hand sanitizer or have a glass of wine result in much more problems overall. I admire people who are really clean and sober....
We fish our own trout from mountain lakes in Colorado. But how can you talk about healing leaky gut and not mention vitamin d or magnesium even once???
