Dr Ken Berry – Is your diet causing Arthritis?      https://youtu.be/ePg3V4iOBI4  (11minutes long)

Dr Ken Berry explains joint pain is not caused by wear and tear but by inflammation and is an autoimmune condition. He recommends a Keto Diet, Low Carb Natural Food Diet or Carnivore diet which will reduce blood sugar levels, insulin levels and inflammation. People who have been successful in reducing inflation and joint pain have reduced or eliminated the following foods:

• Processed foods and unnatural carbohydrates

• Grains of any type- this means wheat, rice, corn and oats

• Vegetable oils – all types like canola,  safflower , soy bean, peanut, I can’t believe it’s not butter, Do not cook with veg oil

• Cook with butter or olive oil- Its very important you throw out any veg oils in your kitchen

• Liquid dairy – milk – use full fat cream instead

• Nightshades like tomatoes, potatoes etc

• Legumes like beans and peas
