Merci 😊
So while reading Dr. Berg’s list (Thank you so much for taking your time writing it up for us!) I was triggered by the word yawning and I yawned (and here we goooo🥱). Do I consider is as having a deficiency or mental disorder? 🤣
Nice job you just did.❤
b1 is amazing for air hunger, also completely fixed my heart palpitations.
Mine too.. I’m 66 years old…
What red warning signs indicate that your body needs more nutrients?
What kind of b1 and how much
Amazing signs you have listed out and great advice, very useful and concise but easy to understand.Thank you so much Doctor Berg ❤. Have a nice day 💕
Blessing Doc, watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲. Your recommendation of oregano and thyme, apple cider vinegar and vitamin B1 helped me with reoccurring UTI. Grateful 🙏🏾
Vitamin B1 helped you get rid of UTI or all the other things you mentioned?
@April Martian blessing Queen, all I listed. Doctor made a video specifically about UTI and natural antibiotics etc
Thank you, Doc! I’ve always wondered about these little things. You answered all of my questions! ❤
Glad to help!
Great video Dr Berg. Is the fruit flavouring in your electrolyte powder suitable for supplementing whilst starving bowel cancer?

😺👍
And thank you too!
Great ! Thank you Fidel😊
Really appreciate your video’s. I’ve had a couple of these symptoms at various times over the years and always wondered what the symptoms meant.
Thanks Dr. Berg. Very helpful.
? Question: Are there specific nutrients, besides potassium, that might help reduce intense, chronic muscle/tendon and neurological pain? Not from cramps or over exertion, as I am mostly bed bound, but do very light stretching and isometric exercises as able, when pain is low. Thanks again! 🙏
R- alpha lipoic acid… only R, not S…. I also take all omegas in one capsule…. And omitting foods with high oxalates….
You mustn’t forget to mention that when taking Vitamin D3 to mobilise the calcium, or for any other reason, it is extremely important to take K2 with it as well. So that calcium goes where it is supposed, into the bones. Otherwise you may have an excess of calcium in the blood. Which is an undesirable scenario.
tks so much
K2 is in egg yolks so if I eat 3 eggs is their enough K2 so I dint need extra ??
Dr. Berg, I wish I could meet with you in person and we could figure out my health. I’m at the end of the line, and I don’t want to do this anymore. I can’t work, and I’m mostly bed bound, I just want to give up. Thank you for making all this information available to the public.
Come on kerry. Dont sound so negative. Just try some basic things to increase positive feelings in you. Try sitting out side and just looking up at the sky and taking deep breaths and say thank you God for the sky. Try listening to some brain wave inducing music (its a specific type) and just close your eyes and thank God or thank whatever. Just pray to Jesus by yourself wherever you are. Try a new fruit or dish or new restaurant. Try a new wine or mixed drink. Try sitting in a sauna or hot tub. Try getting a new full body massage. There is so many things you can do to be better and happier kerry! I dont know what you are talking about!
@Rainbow Lion I have POTS and it has stolen my life away. I was ok for almost 3 years and I have recently relapsed. My quality of life is so low. I am actually sitting with my dad and praying. This is an extreamly hard illness to live with and I am so tired. I appreciate your reply. I am trying hard to have a more positive outlook, I just feel so helpless. I know it doesn’t help anything by being negative, I’m just so scared.
@Kerry Sue wow. just looked that up. I also have tachycardia and bradycardia and AFib since a kid. I had two heart surgeries and i occasionally take diltiazem and i exercise way more and my heart is finr.
@Kerry Sue Did you get the “jab” ?
@Rainbow Lion That’s incredibly great to hear! As upset and scared as I am, I have been trying to get up and walk around the house a little bit. I have severe exercise intolerance, and any kind of physical movement is extremely difficult.
I have also had a bout of atrial fibrillation. It happened about 2 years before I got really sick. That’s awful to deal with, too. I’m sorry you have had to deal with cardiac issues. They are truly terrifying. However, I am so happy to hear that you are doing well now!!
One thing (of MANY) I wanted to thank Dr.Berg is cluing me in on the issues associated with synthetic B12. I think that really made things worse for me at various times.
Animals are fed B12 supplements too, as they are outdoors much less, and B12 is less in the soil, due to it being damaged and overused.People actually used to get B12 from vegetables, back when everything wasn’t so sanitized, and washed.
What are the signs that indicate a deficiency in important nutrients?
Such important information. This is exactly the kind of content that I look for when dealing with any symptom that seems to point to a “lack” somewhere. I easily identify a couple of these issues and it makes complete sense! I am taking digestive enzymes after gallbladder removal but issues persist with trying to regulate consistent digestion. Thank you for this!👍
Any issue can be due to so many problems.
Oxbile supplements may be your answer. Dr Berge talk about it on his show. Google about oxbile gallbladder removal.
@toni2626 Cholocal by Standard Process works great for me!
@Allison Welch Thank you! I will look into that!
@Toni Anytime, I also have no gallbladder & finally found the one that works for me! Good luck 😊
Great content, awesome information. Thanks Doctor Berg for always being there for us 👍
Sure! Glad you enjoyed it!
I thought twitching near the eyes was due to the following: “Too much potassium in your system, known as hyperkalemia, only manifests as muscle twitches or spasms during early stages. Muscle twitches are also one of the most common symptoms of too little potassium in your system, known as hypokalemia.”
Dr. Berg rocks! coherent usable scientific info on bodily health. My favorite social media source for health and nutrition.
Great podcast Dr. Berg , nice to have the information all together in a view .
After I watched this video I finally found the issue which I have been having for already more than 2 years. Sometimes I also yawn too much, have air hunger and take deep breathes and tetany, pitching on my arm, leg and eyes. Thank you so much, doctor.
One of your best videos! I got rid of my all over body eczema by cutting nearly all sugar, taking a probiotic and getting rid of the candida. When I took antibiotics it came back, I had to cut sugar, and increase my probiotics to get the rashes to go away. It took a few weeks to take full effect. Thank you!
