I had irritation on my lips for almost 1 year, the doctor said I had eczema. And I started watching all your videos about vitamins because I felt something was wrong with my body. After I consume 10, 000 iu of vitamin D, zinc, omega 3, vitamin B. Now my lips are almost completely healed. I am very grateful for the knowledge of each of your videos. Thankyou doc 🙏

I'm a 56 female and I have been having digestive issues these last few years. Actually longer but your video helped me to realize alot of my problems are because I dont have enough Gastric acid to break down the meat I eat to be able to absorb all the B Vitamins. Thank you sooo much!!!❤

Yes, yes. I knew it, I knew it. I figured that crack on the side of my mouth was a B deficiency. It comes and goes. My body was trying to tell me something. I appreciate and use Dr. Berg's videos even from years ago to help educate myself on health issues. Thank you, thank you Dr. Berg for your in-depth explanations. I feel so much better and healthier because of you.

I guess that's why my lips dries out in the winter 😅 though I use organic coconut oil as a moisturizer; rather than cosmetic brands, and it's usually very effective. Thanks Dr Berg 😊
