Thank you!
Thank you!!!
GRAZIE ❤️
Thank you. You have summarised content here and it will be benefical more after one has watched video .thanks again
I love that this isn’t just a supplement recommendation list for a bunch of random symptoms, but that you actually explain sometimes what causes the symptom itself, give common causes for each deficiency, and perhaps best of all, you always recommend food before supplements for each one.
but half the things arent even based on deficiency. even the first thing about the white spot under the nail is completely wrong
@UCmixQK0oOy1Izw_bGzWyPdA you can even just look it up online and look at multiple credible sources instead of a random person on yt thats not linking any, but tldr;
most common cause of this is previous inflammation/damage to your finger/nail. another cause can be an allergic reaction, but thats also unlikely.
zinq is also very dangerous in too high dosages, so its better to check your bloodstats before you try things like zinq anyways.
exactly what i was about to comment!
@Cheyhey And going in for depression as the kicker. Lol, gonna stop saying “just pull yourself together” (note the sarcasm attempt please) and hand some Vitamin D tablets when a friend stands on a cliff basking in sun, ready to jump lmao.
I mean it’s not all wrong biochemically. It just seriously lacks a “This is a plausible hypothesis in my opinion. It is not medically or psychiatrically supported at all”-section
@Andre Johnson yeah, hes just taking one of the many possible things that have to do with X and is like “this is the magic ingredient” lmao
If only doctors teach about this instead of prescribing a bunch of drugs, people would be healthier. Thank you, Dr. Berg!!
You couldn’t have said it better. Health Sensitization and Teaching need a rethink in my opinion.
Doctors don’t want you healthier..
They’ll lose!
Medical establishment will HAVE FITS
@Lawrence Njawe all teachings needs rethinking, but yes totally agree with you.
Teaching example that could be much better today:
I guarantee 💯 that Dr. Berg didn’t tell this information through his schools teachings, but experience and many that we need more of today
I see many today who get angry with people that tries to teach others or that they don’t got a clue because they don’t have a grade on a paper.
Fantastic way of teaching us Dr. Berg. I appreciate you not food shaming us but rather putting out choices for us to decide.
Super helpful!! 🌟
Shaming is not a bad thing, if you’re doing something shameful.
“food shaming” seriously…
Tell me you’re overweight without telling me you’re overweight
OK, but him “food shaming” me helped me lose weight…..
It’s not food shaming is correctly addressing the problem
Better to be food shamed now than diabetic later.
Wow… I always thought leg cramps were from potassium mostly! Thank you for the tip on magnesium! I also love how you included symptoms related to mental health! Its so interesting how it all ties into nutrition!
Magnesium is brilliant for easing leg cramps. You can get a spray for emergencies, but best to take in tablet or powder form before bed – it also helps you sleep.
Sodium deficiency also gives you cramps.
I once had a crying fit w/ real strong sobbing & shoulders bobbing. Went to Dr, he prescribed magnesium. But told me to be very careful not to take more than the one packet of powder at a time because it could be dangerous.
@MrsSlocombes PuddyCat it’s available as a lotion too, for easy application
Hi baby how are you doing now i hope you are really doing good you are awesome looking at you baby makes happy when I look at your picture it is beyond my imagination that a creature like you really exist like a rose you make the garden so beautiful You are a diamond to any man that have eyes to see goodness of a womanhood Baby am Ben easy going person very understandable Am a civil engineer and a contractor I work at so many places like Asia Europe and Africa I love art craft and I write music I like ideal people when I see your picture am impress I want a good woman that understand what real love is all about who will understand me and perfectly be for me So we can build our world strong enough to care for each other I want you to be mine and I hope to hear from you soonest thanks
Dr. Berg, I have been watching your videos for a few months now. I have been listening to you and putting into practice what you are teaching us. May God bless you abundantly, sir! You have and continue to help me immensely, every single day. I feel that I am starting to get well. My life is improving a little bit more, day after day and week after week. I couldn’t possibly thank you enough, doctor. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Me too, I make a lot of progress washing his videos
Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏 😊
Thank you Dr Berg for all the in-depth health information. We appreciate your hard work and looking forward for more👌🏽
My E.D disappeared about 3 weeks after I started avoiding the sugar gang (sugar, grain, and starch). Although I never eliminated the sugar gang, just reducing it gave me wonderful improvements, the first of which, just 3 days later, was the one I was after, the elimination of nighttime urination. The ultimate benefit was losing all of my excess body fat, after about 5 months.
I am trying to save this list
OMG…our dog used to eat dirt very often during the last couple of years. We had no idea it was an iron issues. Very strange considering she was on a mostly beef raw diet during that time.
Thank you for all of these Dr. Berg. I really wish doctors told us these things.
I can understand that you didn’t knew about that but what about your vet?
It doesn’t really help if the stomach doesn’t absorb the iron.
@Fantasy4LIFE123 Intestines are responsable for the absorption of nutrients.
@Dani By The stomach absorbs things as well.
Small intestine
For me:
1. Vitamin C = Way more leafy greens + avoid sugar (usually don’t eat much sweets anyway)
2. B2 = nutrional yeast + stop grains (ah my rice 😢)
3. Iron = red meat like liver + eggs
4. Vitamin E = stop fine grains
5. Magnesium = green plants
6. Vitamin D = try fasting
Yeah rice 😢😢
I can’t stop eating grains because that’s what our main meal is
What is nutritional yeast?
@Nna Chi something like oats i think
@Nna Chi you can find it in the spice isle, it’s a good cheese flavor alternative.
I started really focusing on my diet and vitamins to manage my adhd because I wasn’t doing well on medication and since I’ve been taking omega-3, iron, and vitamin d, I’ve stopped feeling exhausted all the time and it’s helped a lot with my fidgeting. And my dark circles are starting to get less pronounced
When you do the blood work check your levels of vitamin d and iron, becouse those can accumulate and cause huge issues, much more so than slight insufficiency. Often when you have D deficiency. If I were you, I’d also check B12 levels, becouse it’s also important for your nervous system and absorption of vit d is correlated to the presence of b12 and sometimes people have issues with both. I’m no doctor, just a person who had issues with these deficiencies and was diagnosed by my family doctor.
Also look into mthfr gene mutation. Those symptoms are correlated with mthfr gene.
@Dani By thanks!
Love, love, love Dr. Berg – and his sarcasm.
This was such a good video, which needs a rewatch a couple of times, and with 10 million views I will add to that count as there was so much valuable information in this video alone. Can you imagine, America, if Dr. Berg was the Surgeon General and in charge of the nation’s health, how healthy would America be? His sane, rational, well-explained health instructional videos are such a resource.
All hail Dr. Berg, you deserve all the success and blessings and abundance your videos bring you and your family because you give so much value in return.
🙌 👏 exactly!! Just imagine a healthier population, all due to him, and his priority to root cause, natural healing, and most importantly… common sense.
Such an amazing video with so good explanation with what deficiency is causing it and how can it be cured. Honestly I don’t understand why doctors don’t explain this in real lives. Thank you so much Dr Berg!
It’s because normal Western style doctors are not trained in any of this and will even tell you that diet and supplements are not important.
@Wendy Daniel I hope the time has come to change the old practice then and add this sort of education into their training.
They are not super human . They are just people, you can’t worship the Dr’s. We are responsible for our own health. They make a living from your poor health
Dr. Berg you are officially my life saver I am cured from a horrible acid reflux which I thought it was a heart attack and went to the Er multiple times so thank you 🙏🏽 I have a son who has autism with many food allergies and test result shows his body doesn’t absorb fat ( explains why he is 5.9’ and only 89 pounds) they told us that but nothing for what to do, we don’t know what to do besides giving him some digestive enzymes and try to feed him clean food. Please help
I love these videos! Thank you Dr Berg I’ve learned so much for you and fixed so many of my problems I tolerated for decades!! You’re so wonderful! ❤
No problem. Glad to share this video. Thanks for watching!
Love your videos
I love how you provide a solution for each problem. Very simple and straightforward.
Love you Dr.Berg❤ Can you please look into narcolepcy and cataplexy along with MS, would love to see your point amd advice on these topics❤ I believe keto diet and vitamin B12 is quite effectivw, however my daughter, who is narcoleptic, finds keto diet difficult and hard to implement as a way of living:(
As a vegan, this is pure gold!
Thank you!!! 🌱🙏
Dr. Berg, I watched this video and there were 4 things and I ordered the Vitamins and I have been taking them for the past week and I feel much better, I can actually tell the difference. Thank you!
