I had a split on my left thumb nail since the beginning of the year. The split got longer and longer so much so that I had to stop using my left thumb. I went to my GP who kindly took sample of my nail for a test which showed not infection. I took the advice suggested here: eat cheese and take calcium tablets. Also I walk my dog twice a day so I expose to fair amount of sun daily due to the hot weather in the last few months. Happy to say that I noticed the split had disappeared when I cut nails last week. I took a few months but this works for me.

I really appreciate you Dr Berg. I have some of these issues, and googling them can produce some scary results. You are always positive and provide ways to heal the body without making it sound like a death sentence. Thank you for all you do.

Oh wow, wondered why my nails were breaking, upper lip was tingling, so tired all the time, no grip in my hands and body ached!!! Thank you!

You just answered my symptom source. Been taking calcium carbonate with magnesium and zinc. Switching my calcium source right away.

Fatigue, weak grip, muscle ache, twitching and muscle cramps are a problem! Nails are fine because of KETO! But the one supplement I don't take is calcium. For the past 2 years, I take every nutrient advised for immune system, insulin resistance, and cardio health. I intermittent fast 18 hours and have lost 75 pounds. Chem panel always normal and I do take magnesium and potassium. I think I finally found my answer! Calcium citrate arrived and I'm excited. Tired of feeling tired!

Good morning Dr. Berge DC. Appreciation. You just solved my long last problems. God bless you always. Please keep up the good works 🙏..

I am vitamin D, B12, iron and calcium deficient due to malabsorption. I did not know why my fingernails we're splitting, now I do! It's rather annoying but glad it can be remedied.

Sometimes I swear Doctor Berg has a listening device in my house. Lol. I’ll have an issue and he’ll make a video. Thank you Doctor Berg!

I'm confused, I take Calcium Citrate & Biotin (have for years) yet I STILL have every issue listed & then some. Two fingernails ( middle finger both hands & corresponding toenails are growing up OFF the nail bed. Thumbnail is now split down past quick, keeping them clipped off is best option.
Just added vitamin D to regime, (along with multivitamin, B-Complex, & numerous other vitamins & herbs.)
REALLY hoping this helps.
Thank you for your time & knowledge, I've tried to get my doctors to help, researched as much as I could & finally found YOU!
What a relief to find a doctor with the knowledge I needed and he's sharing it with us!
Thank you!!
