What Causes Allergies? What are the Missing Nutrients in Allergies – Dr. Berg

If you have allergies you may be missing one particular nutrient.

1:40 Here’s the solution to a folic acid deficiency

Let’s talk about the missing nutrient in allergies. That being said, there are other causes of allergies that I’ve done other videos on. But this is the first time I’ve touched on how a nutrient deficiency could be behind many allergic reactions.

First, here’s a new word: atopy. It’s a genetic tendency to develop allergies like rhinitis, eczema, rashes, and generally high histamines. One cause is low folic acid (vitamin B9). It’s involved in many chemical reactions; the one I’ll focus on is B9’s role in reducing histamines.

You can get folic acid from dark leafy greens and beef liver. It’s involved with an enzyme called MTHFR, which allows folic acid to work in your body. Many people have a mutation of this enzyme. You can get a genetic test to know if you’re affected. Also check out the videos linked below. This mutation is a lot more common than people think.

If your MTHFR enzyme is affected, you won’t be able to convert folic acid. One of the symptoms is allergies along with rashes.

But here are three remedies in addition to eating dark leafy greens. Take:
●Four to seven milligrams of methylfolate
●4,000 micrograms of the methyl version of B12
●400 milligrams of B6

Take all three of these supplements together with a meal, once a day, for three months. There’s some really interesting research on this protocol. I’ve linked to it down below this video so be sure to check it out.

Now you know how you could improve your allergies.

I have been taking this for past 60 days. I have almost 0 allergic reactions. I can now be outdoors without suffering.

Eric Berg, you have dramatically improved the quality and overall longevity of my life. I would even go so far as to say you have literally saved it because of how quickly my physical health was deteriorating due to all the criminal misinformation out there. SO eternally grateful for you and all that you do - - please don’t stop producing your content. You are an absolute blessing ❤️

[amandatkids]

I knew it! I knew you’d hit 3 million by the end of July! 👏🏻👏🏻You’re on fire and helping, teaching soooo many people in the world, you’re awesome Dr. Berg and I can’t thank you enough for all you have taught me and how you’ve helped me. I look forward to every time I see an alert that you’ve posted a new video. They get shared with the whole family.

Omg Dr Berg you are a real life Wizard, this makes so much sense, I have been suffering so bad for pretty much a year with sinus/ear issues, had nasal sprays, ENT appointments etc then a few weeks ago found out my folic acid was low so was prescribed a few months supply, been on them a couple of weeks and only yesterday was thinking how my sinus problems have pretty much gone, now after watching this I realise it must have been my low folic acid 👏🏻

Speaking of Allergies and
I have been doing intermittent fasting and Keto for about 2.5 months and I have lost weight, stopped cravings and I’m repairing my NAFL. I’m starting to do longer fasts now as well and I feel great!
Has anyone noticed how much better you can taste and smell foods and various scents? !!! I know it’s no coincidence!
Eating has become a very thoughtful effort- my plate looks like a work of art! I take time planning the foods I will eat and the way I arrange them on my plate.
Can anyone tell me about what exactly causes the olfactory improvements? I’m sure it’s not unlike the other positive effects, but was just wondering HOW that aspect works...thanks so much Dr. Berg- my husband and I love your videos!❤️❤️

[olgarodriguez]

I love your advice. I’m just 😱 of taking too many supplements. I already take B12, biotin, and vitamin D for other reasons but I’ll give it try. I’m tired with these allergies every day of my life.

Not for allergies but to see how keto might help a child with Prader Willi Syndrome, my sister started keto a year ago today, all thanks to you Dr. Berg, and for the love of her child. She flipped her eating lifestyle upside down to test keto, see if it would be realistic and beneficial to her son who has PWS and since day one, she has not looked back. She’s completely embraced keto and IF and is reaping so many wonderful healing benefits for herself in the process. She has discovered hidden food allergies and the symptoms that she no longer has, has lost 30 pounds, her skin looks even younger and we have more fun things to share as we see who can watch a new Dr. Berg video before the other each day :). You are a gift to us both for all you teach us and help us with as we heal and enjoy our Keto IF lifestyles. Thank you so very much. I feel you have helped give me more years with my sister and I am forever grateful! A huge Dr. Berg fan, Amanda

I have actually got rid of my pollen allergy during this time with keto/IF, since nov 2018. But I've been doing low carb diet for many years, so I think it's the IF that's fixed it as well as more of some supplements as nutritional yeast. We've had a bad pollen season over here this year, even people who usually don't react have had problems - I haven't had any reactions at all! I'm soooo happy!! Great video, by the way!

[stellaborek]

Dr Berg I just emailed a link of this video to my daughter who suffers terribly from seasonal allergies. I pray it will be the key to helping her. Thank you ❤️

[adrianae.delcastillo]

Wow!! I can’t imagine my life without this channel. Dr Eric B has done a lot to support my health !! Thank you!!

Ive had perennial allergic rhinitis since i was a child where i get a blocked nose and excessive mucus production 24/7. It is really tormenting living with this. After doing a copious amount of research i settled on an explanation for allergies which points to the gut microbiome. It is where 80% of our immune system resides and bacteria outnumber our human cells 10:1. It is no surprise that many of the modern diseases today are attributed to poor gut health. How it is connected to allergies is that a people suffering them have a vastly different microbiome than normal healthy people. They tend to be missing some critically important bacterial species that when work together in the gut, they teach and regulate the immune systems response to harmless allergens that normally should be left alone. It is no surprise that children raised in farms have far fewer allergies than those raised in an urban environment. Amish people really back this theory. My advice would be to research the allergy and gut connection. As a consequence of my research, my philosophy is to reconnect with nature and reintroduce those missing species into my environment and therefore my body. Recently my symptoms have slowly decreased and are not as intense as before. Hopefully they disappear very soon.

Started taking this and my allergy reactions are about 80% gone. Wow thank you, Dr.Berg

[missrenee]

Thank you Dr. Berg for this video. My son is 12 years old and has suffered from eczema, asthma and allergies most of his life. He's also allergic to cheese, milk, eggs, shellfish, nuts, soy and whole wheat!

[maryvidaurri]

Wow, 3 million subscribers....now that's one heck of a major accomplishment. I can't thank you enough for all your doing to educate us and help us heal. Your the Best. I'm thrilled with all your videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[crayonofdarkness]

I’ve been taking methyl folate for over 2 years and did not know that this has been the reason my allergies went away! I’ve been wondering for awhile why I don’t have allergies anymore while my bf has really terrible allergies this season. I’ll definitely recommend this to him so maybe his will stop or improve at least!

[cathy]

I am really enjoying the more in depth explanations while still keeping your videos short. I have had sinus infections/ inflammation my entire life. Being on healthy keto/IF since March 2019, I have greatly reduced this problem. Thanks, as always, for this additional information.

[victoriagrahm]

OH MY Dr Berg. I’m suddenly just suffering terribly from allergies. 🤧. I mean I never have in my life but I’m 57 and moved to Nashville from Florida. Now in April I’m so congested sneezing and blowing clear liquid from my head 50 x a day. Plus awful brain fog. You helped me just about cure my acid reflux so I’m finding you AGAIN for this. I’m going to the store tomorrow to get these nutrients.Ill bet this will fix it since I just suddenly started having this problem this year. GOD BLESS YOU MANY X OVER. HE sent you to us to help us heal from the pure evil running our food and medical industries. Their day is coming though. Fools selling their souls for earthly trinkets 🙄

[jodilynnmodel]

I am labeled as Chronic sinusitis, bronchial spasms, etc. Been on allergy shots many times and everything under the sun. I had anaphylactic reactions many times and gave up on doctors help and have been medically studying and figuring it out. On Keto and have been working on experiencing with vitsmins, herbs, essential oils to help, so this is good info. THANKS

[joja]

Just started this protocol today. Wish me luck.
