Welcome to the Dr. Berg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Dr. Eric Berg.

I was talking with someone about their inflammation in their body recently.

They were on ibuprofen and they wanted to know, is there any natural ibuprofen down there?

And that's the basis of this video.

Extra virgin olive oil.

You can not define the real stuff, but there is some great data, I'll put the link down below,

that demonstrates that extra virgin olive oil, specifically this chemical called olicantil,

and this natural chemical in extra virgin olive oil has a potential to mimic the effects of ibuprofen.

And this natural anti-inflammatory chemical in extra virgin olive oil gives you that strong,

stinging sensation in the back of your throat.

And if you don't get that sensation when you're consuming olive oil, chances are you don't have the authentic extra virgin olive oil that you should be using,

because there are so many versions that are fake out there, especially in the U.S.

Now, the biochemical effect that this creates is the inhibition or something that inhibits cox-1 and cox-2 enzymes.

Those are the enzymes that are creating inflammation.

So when you inhibit those enzymes, you get rid of inflammation.

And this chemical in olive oil can mimic ibuprofen, which is very, very cool.

Of course, check with your doctor before coming off any medications.

Now, you would have to consume 50 milligrams.

That's a little more than one and a half ounces. You can easily put that on your salad every day.

And you'll get between 60 to 90% absorption, which comes out to about 9 milligrams.
