4:58 What to try for tremors
Today, we’re going to discuss what causes tremors. So, what are tremors? There are essential tremors that are more progressive and aggravated by movement and resting tremors that occur when sitting still.
There is a high correlation between mitochondrial diseases and movement disorders. The nervous system requires a tremendous amount of energy, so it also requires very healthy mitochondria. When someone has a neurodegenerative disease, they usually have dysfunction in the mitochondria.
Vitamin B2 and coenzyme Q10 are essential for FAD, which is vital for turning food into energy. Vitamin B2 also helps support the myelin sheath of your neurons.
People who are deficient in vitamin B2 sometimes have neurodegenerative problems, neuropathologies, and swelling in the nervous system. Vitamin B2 acts as a precursor to help protect the mitochondria and help correct tremors.
Coenzyme Q10 plays a similar role, helping to transport electrons from food so they can be converted into ATP, which provides cells with energy.
If you take statins, you could become deficient in coenzyme Q10. This can cause all sorts of neurological and muscular symptoms, including tremors, which are a side effect of statins.
If you have tremors, consider taking 800 mg of B2 daily, split into two portions, 400 mg in the morning and 400 mg before bed. Also, try taking 1000 mg of coenzyme Q10—500 mg in the morning and 500 mg in the afternoon.

I’ll have a good listen to this, because my late mother had essential and it runs in my family as I heard it’s hereditary. Think there’s a 50/50 chance that I could get it.
00:00 🧠 Essential tremors can be misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s disease but are a distinct condition that worsens with movement.
00:56 ⚡ High doses of vitamin B2 and co-enzyme Q10 can alleviate essential tremor symptoms, possibly by supporting mitochondria function.
03:13 🫁 Vitamin B2 deficiency can lead to neurological issues, including tremors, due to its role in supporting fatty acids and nerve cell membranes.
04:23 🚫 Statins, which lower cholesterol, can deplete co-enzyme Q10 levels, potentially leading to neurological symptoms like tremors.
05:02 💊 Recommended daily doses for alleviating tremors: 800mg of vitamin B2 split into two doses, and 1000mg of co-enzyme Q10 also split into two doses.
Not sure why you feel the need to re narrate the video when we all have fingers to replay any part we want , however if you listened properly to the video you will get the desired info first hand.
Thank you for the recap I haven’t watched the whole video and this is helpful
Thanks I was able to screen shot that to take with me to purchase as I forget things so easily.
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan no problem

I normally get tremors 22-23hours after Dr. berg releases a video, thankfully he uploads a video a day

Thank you Dr Berg!
and natural vitamin c and natural calcium a freind took those and his MS completely stalled so others did the same and their MS stalled and stayed that way, one freind quit taking it because he felt good for so long and then his MS fired up again
here people with MS have their own bee hives and deliberately sting themselves 10 times a day their MS stopped progressing theyve been doing it for 30 years now .
my brother with benign essential tremors took Only vitamin c and all his tremors stopped
Fidel! You changed your name!
My husband has been on statins since ’09. He had been on atorvastatin 80mg until recently when I asked his Dr why such a high dose. The Dr agreed and lowered it to 49mg daily. We were never told to get on Q10 or told to Amp up fish oil nothing. Now, he is suffering from dementia and has tremors. We will try this today. Also, eating healthy was not in his diet plan. Now, he is very open to eating healthy low to no sugars (processed) and healthy fats (tons) . Statuns block fat good and bad and I assume that’s why my husband is experiencing these ill effects. The dementia meds; donepezil and memantine are not helping one bit. Honestly, they are a blanket, meaning -here you go let’s stand back and see if this works- frustrating!!
@@TrishBrocki wish him well, thank you for sharing your experience with us
@@closertothetruth9209 Wow!
I watched a documentary on malnutrition and starvation… They said that the effects of malnutrition and starvation don’t only affect just the current generation. They affect The health of your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchildren.
So it’s very important that whatever your grandparents gave you or didn’t give you, you correct with nutrition as best as possible. Not only for yourself but for all of your future generations to come.
Yes, yes, YES!
Thank you!
That’s what I always questioned when someone told me that the illness in question ran in the family, that it was just hereditary and there was nothing you could do about it.
Until now, I’ve never been taken seriously with this line of thought.
Do you remember where to find this documentary?
@@AP-hr3qm It was on PBS… About a year or so ago. They were talking about the starvation that occurred somewhere In and around the 1600-1800s In the UK…. I wish I would have remembered the actual name of the documentary! It wasn’t just about starvation… It was talking about the entire time period… They were digging up bones and analyzing and running tests on them…
It was quite interesting
@flamingpieherman9822 Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out for it.
And maybe someone else will remember and tell us.
I think this is a very important key to our health!
I would also be very happy if Dr. Berg could take up this topic.
@@flamingpieherman9822 .
@@flamingpieherman9822it happens during grand solar minimums…that was the mauder minimum..then the dalton..about every one to two hundred years..unusually cold that kills crops. goes on or decades…plus theres war and gov influence.
Good morning Dr Berg, I had occasional tremors for years I only got them if it crossed my mind while picking up something that I may get tremors my hands would shake, One of other videos of yours you mentioned about B1 for tremors , I started taking B1 in high doses well it worked never happened again. Thank you Sir.
My 64 yr old husband has essential tremors as did his father. They’re getting progressively worse. I will watch this later today. Thank you!
At 60 I’ve had ET as long as I can remember. It progressed to Parkinson’s. Had DBS surgery. New lease on life. Even the ET is gone.
I had arrested tremors for years, hands but especially the head. A specialist started to inject with smal amounts of Botox at the back of my head near the neck. I went 3 times, only the 1st worked and only for 2 weeks. I stopped as I had been very reluctant in getting Botox from the start. I learned from him because I asked questions that my head when resting was leaning slightly to the right. So everytime I started to get tremors I would stretch my head to the complete left. I also did it as exercise during the day. Also because we spend a lot of time with our head leaned in something, I did the reverse and exercised my head back and held it there for a minute a couple of times a day. These two things helped but I was still getting tremors. I also started Nutritional Yeast right before bed because of sleep problems as it has several B vit including the B2 Riboflavin of which it has 5.2 mg so way below what Dr Berg recommended. It doesn’t have the CoQ10 either but for me was very beneficial for sleep and as a side effect I can’t remember the last time I had a tremor ! It’s been years. The NT I get is the Bob’s Red Mill (powder form). I mix it with some Coconut cream to make it pudding-like but other things as mixing agent could work as well. Hoping your husband gets to improve his situation. Good luck.
Sorry to hear that.
You made that comment prior to watching, Why?
@@kennethrhodes7143 For the algorithm. Also, because of the desire for more information on this topic.
@@kennethrhodes7143 While watching.
I unknowingly ordered specifically your electrolyte powder on Amazon. it was so helpful I took a second look at the brand and realized I followed you on YouTube and loved your story and information. I just wanted to thank you. This video specifically hits home and I really actually trust your information. I have run into a number of medical specialists who I shouldn’t have trusted. I’ve made a lot of huge improvements by diet and supplements. But had to learn what works for me. Thank you again, you really are a very valuable human.
I’m new to statins, and the horrible leg and foot cramps that followed, most always at night. My doctor advised me to take some electrolyte powder in water before bed, so I went looking for some. Saw Dr. Berg’s and I bought the jar because I wanted more than having to keep up with boxes that contained just a few packets. I started using Dr. Berg’s and those cramps went away. I feel much better in the morning too.
My brother is on statins and has tremors.. sending his beautiful wife this video ❤
Suffered from muscle spasms and twitches for years and it forced me to retire early. After 4 neurologist and 4 different major medical facilities they couldn’t figure it out. Turn out it was my cells dying off from EMFs which is radiation poison. Start looking into the long term health affects from smart devices like TV, cell, smart meters,cell towers, wireless headphones, smart watches…. The emfs are microwaving out cells and causing them to die off. Like a microwave heats the water molecules in the food, it’s doing the same thing to the water in body. I was able relieve and cure my spasms by sleeping grounded, walking barefoot, detoxing heavy metals and cleaning up the EMF exposure.
can you tell me what EMF products you use, as I have looked into this. Thanks
@@kmtx78 are you asking what I use to mitigate EMFs? If so I don’t own a TV, no smart devices, no smart meter, no LED lights, actually really no tech. I have wifi but only gets plugged in a few times a day and only in about 20 min increments and only a non 5g phone. I walk barefoot and sleep grounded with a grounding sheet that you can purchase online.
The book The Invisible Rainbow goes into great detail about how EMF destroys the mitochondria’s ability to work. The amount of research he provides is astounding.
@@tinanassar9431 very good book and to be honest I feel everyone should read
You’re online posting this… how?
I’ve had tremors since I was 14 years old. Now turning 68. Let’s see if this works. Will let you know.
will come back to this after sometime
My husband had tremors. He stopped drinking Diet Pepsi and stopped using sweet and low. He stopped having tremors.
❤❤❤
Phosphoric acid in sodas is pretty nasty stuff when kidney function has decreased. Kidney function can decrease quite a bit without actually failing completely.
Age 17 I swigged a bottle of diet coke and had anxiety and panic attacks almost immediately. I haven’t drank diet or eaten diet anything since then.
It’s more the problem with the artificial sweeteners that they use in “diet” anything, that is the problem here.
@@JoeJ-8282 I agree. Aren’t artificial sweeteners like nutrasweet made from the excrement of bacteria?
Here’s something interesting I’ve been doing. Whenever I’ve gotten a twitch, spasm, or pain, I align my heart energy and brain. It’s called heart and brain coherence. The moment I align them, whatever I’m experiencing just stops immediately. Having heart and brain coherence puts your body into your parasympathetic state, which is when you feel calm and relaxed. I have yet to try it and it NOT work. It’s so fast and it feels amazing. It used to take a few minutes when I started practicing it. Now, I can align them in under 5 seconds.
Look into Heart Math. ❤❤❤
I always like to feed myself with great information concerning my health! Thank you Dr.BERG.
You have no idea how badly I needed this information. My tremors are getting worse by the day. Going right to the store to get these nutrients!
Thanks for following my advice. Wishing you good health.
As an electrician I had tremors in my 30s.
After eating healthy and exercising for a year, those tremors went away(I didn’t know why apparently was the vitamins I consumed).
Also during when I had tremors I discovered a study that when electricians get shocked over time they will have tremors at a old age.
Thanks for sharing your experience here. Wishing you good health.
If vit. B2 recycles glutathione and tremors Can be caused by heavy metal s then using B2 would make sence.
Whoever reads this., I pray for you to cure all your diseases and to remove all your pains from your daily life.. 🙏
I was recently diagnosed with essential tremors by my neurologist (whom I was visiting due to chronic migraines) simply because I picked up a bottle of water for a drink while talking to him, and my hand was shaking. The tremors I get are usually when I am using my hands to hold something, apparently. I’ve had this for awhile now, but had no idea why. I’m glad my DR was actually paying attention! I’ve been taking B2 for awhile now, but a much smaller dosage than Dr Berg mentioned in the video. I’d never heard of Q10, but will be buying some shortly! Thank you, Dr. Berg!
And this is why I subscribe to Dr. Berg. I’ve had problems with nervousness all of my life, I was born with a glorious singing voice, had a 4 octave range and I used it all when I sang in choirs–in my teens and 20’s. But I could never do a solo because even a little nervousness would bring on tremors to the point I couldn’t sing at all. In my 60’s I’m on low dose statin for a year now, I’m having those tremors more often, even just a little stress will start them. I’m still singing ok, but my speaking voice is badly affected now, daily. I’ve been researching to know it’s probably not Parkinson’s, Essential Tremor fits better, and suddenly Dr Berg does a video on it…
For anything that’s not life threatening, I prefer to research and try a natural remedy first before I go to a doctor, so I plan to increase Riboflavin beyond what’s in my multi-vitamin, which also contains 60mg of CoQ10. I’ll report back in a month if this helps, wish I’d known about this in the 70’s and 80’s! 🙂
My 44 year old brother had tremors for years, no one knew why. Sadly, he passed a few years ago from a tumor in his bile duct. By the time they caught it, it was too late. My mom just had her gallbladder removed and is having complications. I’m seeing a pattern from your videos – low bile. I’m following your recommendations and have been doing healthy keto and IF for almost a year, and bile salts/liver detox supplements.
