In this video, I talk about the 3 main causes of muscle twitches, called tetany, and give you some ways to stop them. You know what I mean! Sometimes it might be a muscle on your upper arm that’s twitching. Or on your face.

These are the 3 main causes:

1. Alkalosis, a condition in which your blood is too alkaline. It’s difficult to test for blood alkalinity because as soon as you draw it, the blood oxidizes and changes the pH. I linked a video below that describes the symptoms of alkalosis.
a.Alkalosis is caused by: decreased potassium or hydrochloric acid in your stomach; high cortisol; and, the use of diuretics. You’re likely low in blood calcium, one of the electrolytes, and so your body can’t properly regulate nerve and muscle impulses, resulting in muscle twitches.
b.Oddly it doesn’t make sense to take more calcium because it’s alkalizing. Instead, you need to drop the pH. More on that in a minute. If you’re on antacids that could be making your body more alkaline.
2. There’s a condition called hypocalcemia (low calcium). It could be coming from low parathyroid hormone, or low vitamin D which is more common. Some of the symptoms are tingling, arrhythmia, psychosis, and low blood pressure.
3. Hypomagnesemia (low magnesium in the blood), creating tremors, spasms, fatigue, arrhythmia, and palpitations. This could be caused by antacids, insulin resistance (a prediabetic condition), antibiotics, low vitamin D, diuretics, and fluoride.

These are the actions steps you can take to stop or prevent muscle twitches:

1. Acidify your body. Consume apple cider vinegar, one to two tablespoons in a glass of water a few times per day. Use a straw to drink it. Or you can take betaine hydrochloride right before you eat to help your digestion.
2. Add magnesium and potassium to your diet. Eat more vegetables, which are full of these minerals.
3. Take vitamin D and lower your stress. Get a water filter to pull out fluoride, and install one for your shower too.

Now you know why you get muscle twitches, and what you can do to stop or prevent them.

So, my right eyelid has been twitching for over 2 weeks. Found this video last night and bought ACV and potassium. Took these with vitamin D and magnesium. Within 3 hours, the twitching stopped! It’s 8:30 p.m. same day and still no twitching. ❤ Thank you!

I use to get twitches and heart palpitations and I had really low vitamin D levels, IR, Fatigue, Spasms, high levels of cortisol from ptsd, low HCL, ate zero vegetables, severe depression, . After finding doctor berg I've lost 30 pounds and have reversed the above mentioned deficiencies and I do feel a lot better. Hasn't cured everything but the physical symptoms are gone!

Had twitching all the time before keto. Keto fixed so many issues and uncovered a few. Thanks for all your hard work to help us get healthy and stay healthy.

My left eye twitching was driving me crazy it happened so frequently. I also had horrible leg and foot cramps which got worse when I started the Keto plan. Since August 16, 2021, I've been learning more and more including what to add and take out of my eating plan. I've added a considerable amount of Potassium and the eye twitch and leg and foot cramps have stopped. I can sleep for the first time in years without drugging myself with over the counter help. People say I seem happier and I feel that is true and now it feels like I have my brain at almost 100% on good days. I am very new to all this but so far I am loving the changes in me. Just for reference I am 62.5 years old.

I’ve been carnivore for over a month corrected alot of the issues but still having tingling and twitching gonna do what he suggested in this video. Thank you as always ❤❤

I have right eye twitching and spasms. I was diagnosed with low vit d 2 weeks ago. I was on a plant based diet and am on
Keto presently. I am allergic to eggs and am consuming grass fed beef and wild caught salmon and sardines. I eat cruciferous veggies and berries. I have cut out grains and take ACV daily in water. My doctor has me on 50, 000 u of vit d, I also take magnesium, b12, and fish oil.
I was referred to a neurologist because the spasms are constant. I have always referred to your videos, Dr. Berg, and follow your advice. Thank you for your immense information.

Dr. Berg...a man of many wonders and wonderful insights.

[greatnews]

Excellent presentation. I used to have this. It went away with time. I improved my diet the second I realized that it’s true, “You ARE what you eat.”

[lillypod]

I've had this my entire life off and on, annoying. Since going on Dr. Berg's eating plan it has stopped occuring completely and I just had an epiphany watching this video. It's the HCL Acid that cured this condition. I drink an entire tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar right before I eat. Dr. Berg has an older video which is most imformative called ' The Importance of Hydrochloric Acid'. THAT video changed my life and it should be linked with each daily new video he publishes.  Great work !
