(52,744 posts)27. Scientologist Anti-vaxxer Berg is not controversial enough (yet) to be notable enough for a wikipedia article
But he has earned a Rational Wiki article https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Eric_Berg
Eric Berg (c. 1972)[1] is an American quack, antivaxxer, chiropractor, cholesterol denialist, conspiracy theorist, scientologist and ketogenic diet advocate. Berg promotes pseudoscientific health advice and quackery.[2][3] Berg is not a medical doctor.[4] Berg practiced chiropractic for 29 years and is now a full-time YouTube blogger who has made thousands of videos offering health advice. Berg has over 10 million subscribers and claims to have made over 5000 videos.[5]
Berg operates the Health and Wellness Center in Alexandria, Virginia. He describes himself as "one of the top ketogenic diet experts in the world".[6] Berg makes many errors in his nutrition videos but does not correct his mistakes. In 2021, he confused dietary cholesterol with serum cholesterol.[7]
In 2024, Berg came out in support of the pseudoscientific carnivore diet.[8]

Complete and utter quack. As with Thomas delaur and flavcity. It's sad that misinformation like his gets 6 million subs. He seems to have six million subscribers who lack any degree of critical thinking skills. He's a Scientologist and isn't even a legit medical doctor, he's a chiropractor.

You have no reason to be ashamed. Your cirrhosis is not caused by alcohol abuse.
