I used to suffer from chronic fatigue due to hypothyroid. After watching Dr. Berg talking about Vitamin B1, vitamin B complex, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin K2, magnesium Which gives you energy I started to take those supplements and I notice that my energy level started to increase. I am able to clean my house, cook, and taking my dog for a walk. Not to mention I sleep like a rock due to magnesium. Thank you, Dr. Berg. May God bless you for your kindness and your knowledge.

I had an overdose on corticosteroids that were prescribed to me incorrectly to "treat" a full body eczema outbreak. For the past two years I kept telling my prior doctor that I was having severe pain in my legs, especially whenever I tried to start exercising to lose the 60lbs+ that I ended up putting on as a result of the steroids and pain. No one mentioned ANYTHING about my vitamin D levels and just told me "lose weight". I started seeing a natural doctor this past month and she did a full workup and amongst other things confirmed I was deficient in vitamin D. She explains things really well, but watching your videos in addition is helping me get the full picture of what is happening inside my body. I'm losing weight on a clean ketogenic diet and also incorporating what I've been learning from this channel as well. God bless you for all that you're doing to help people understand these things!

Just a note to everyone: Please listen to your bodies! If you know something doesn't feel right, and if your doctor isn't listening to you, get a new doctor!

I had low V D and high calcium in my blood for years. Every time I I got blood work done and questioned my Dr about this he would not answer my question or change the subject or prescribe 50, 000. Units of D to take. I was put on 8 different meds for heart and arthritis which bone scan showed was in every joint in body. 3 yrs ago I went off all. I was pre diabetic as well. We keto and gluten free. My adrenal were totally burned out as well. Getting the right vitamin and mineral supplements have fixed everything. 66 and going strong I feel better now than when I was 40. Your adrenal product was the best. I use your electrolyte product daily. My sleep is a solid 7 hrs. Last bone scan showed no arthritis at all. Loved watching Drs jaw hit the floor when he read report. I told him you can help patients fix the problem not treat the problem with drugs. I walked out and haven’t been back.

I had a hysterectomy 6 weeks ago. I cried for days then got the diagnosis of cancer. I hadn't laughed or even cracked a smile for 6 weeks. I had listened to this episode of how to increase your vitamin d3 several times but didn't HEAR that it should be taken with fat until last night. When I took it with some butter this morning it was as if someone had flipped a switch! I was laughing at little things that just a day before had made me angry. I have taken antidepressants before and never had that much of an improvement so fast- and it lasted all day. It was wonderful. I want to live!

I always brisk walk every morning for 30mins, it works wonders! 😆 top notch video again Dr. B! 👍

My sternum was always hurting....
8 years ago I talked my Internist to checked for Vit D3.
We were shocked that my level was 10.
Immediately my physician ordered a script for 50, 000 to be taken daily until I reached corrected levels.
My health improved within 3 months.
I have continued my Vit D3 therapy over the last 10 years with 75% of improved health..

[howtomedicate]

Don't sit inside all day, take a walk for 15-20min! It will improve your vitamin D levels!
