DR. KEN D. BERRY: Skin Tags are the result of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, pre-diabetes, because you're eating too many processed carbohydrates

There's a diet that tens of thousands of people have used to shrink or completely reverse or remove their skin tags: and that is the low-carb, keto, carnivore, Banting, Atkins diets.  --Dr. Ken D. Berry

Most people and many doctors don't know that Skin Tags are a sign of hyperinsulinemia! (prediabetes)

Skin tags are benign.  They're not dangerous at all.  Minor surgery removes skin tags, but removing the skin tags does not remove the syndrome responsible for the tags going on inside your body.

 

CAUSES

1.  Genetics.

2.  Viral component.

3.  Major culprits, especially if you have multiple skin tags, are metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, pre-diabetes, and Type 2 Diabetes.  There is a direct association between the NUMBER of skin tags you have on your body, regardless of their location, and your risk of developing hyperinsulinemia, pre-diabetes, and ultimately Type 2 Diabetes.  There's also a direct correlation between the number of skin tags you have and being obese.  But that's not because obesity causes skin tags.  That's because of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and pre-diabetes.  That's what's causing your skin tags.  

And so you can go to a skin specialist or a family doctor and have them removed, 

2:50  You can keep the skin tags from ever developing and reverse the ones that you already have and make them smaller and smaller and make them evaporate.  It's better to fix the underlying problem, and that's the fact that you're eating too many carbohydrates and too many processed carbohydrates.  There's a diet that tens of thousands of people have used to shrink or completely reverse or remove their skin tags: and that is the low-carb, keto, carnivore, Banting, Atkins diets.  These diets all lower your blood sugar levels back to normal levels.  They lower your insulin levels back to normal levels, and that gets rid of the hyperinsulinemia, gets rid of the blood sugar spikes, and then your skin tags just start to dissolve on their own.

I’ve had skin tags for years, I started keto, eat 4 to 6 eggs a day, have salt instead of sugar in my coffee, eat bacon and cook that in butter, ever since I’ve changed my diet, I’ve gotten healthier. Here are the changes: 1. I no longer have plaque build up in my gums. 2. Skin tags around my neck, gone completely. 3. My leg veins have disappeared, this is a biggie for me. 4. Lost weight so much that my self esteem has jumped through the roof. 3 years and I’m younger now than I was 5 years ago! Edit July 2024: I’m still doing keto, it’s a way of life for me. Healthy as I’ve ever been. Had a medical checkup. Blood tests scans. My doctor examined me and his words.....”All blood good!” “All scan good”. “Whatever you are doing, keep doing”.

So there's that.
