I have 25 years on antidepressants. After starting my own journey with Dr. Berg I found out that I was lacking B12, vitamin D and potassium. Sea kelp and K2 also helped me. After 3 years of fatigue I have left my bed and have energi for the whole day and feel really good in a way that all the medication I took never did. Thanks 🙏🌱

My Dad was diabetic and on Metformin for years. Long story short, he was diagnosed with dementia by his family doctor. Ended up in rehab after a fall and found out his vitamin B12 was critically low. He started receiving B12 injections and seemed so much better. Unfortunately when his B level came up, they stopped the injection and he went straight back down hill and a few weeks later died from a stroke. If any loved ones seem to have dementia symptoms, B12 levels should be checked often.

Making new video's everyday is a very difficult task. Every video of yours is full of innovation. You are a blessing to all mankind.

Almost died from b12 deficiency. So glad people are more aware of the dangers. It's an awful way to go. Thanks for all the information you provide for us.

Dr. Berg, thank you for the wonderful medical and holistic education you bestow on the world. As I am aging, just turned 50 in January, I am becoming more aware of how little traditional pharmaceutical medicine helps and how much quality supplements and food make a difference in one’s overall health. It’s quite astonishing how I can take a pill for something, it doesn’t fix the problem and adds another problem. Lol. However, I can eat or drink certain whole foods and supplements, and the original problem subsides significantly or goes away completely. I’m stunned daily at how informative and helpful you have been over the years. Thank you again. It’s good to know that you are out there doing this work. You are a true gift. 😊✨🌷

[alfredgalan]

Your videos are a blessing and I like that they are not just another sales pitch.

[tracycolvin]

Wow...I wish I knew all this info before! I have severe depression, my retina detached, and I had to have emergency eye surgery, with the absolute WORST recovery..plus, now he's saying that B12 deficiency can cause permanent damage to my brain and to my heart.
Going to my doc this week to check all my vitamin deficiencies..I pray that I'm not too late, and that B12, along with Vitamin D, will help me mentally and physically!!🙏🏼🙏🏼

You are just an encyclopedia of knowledge. Thank you

[Mouseears]

I have been told by my young Doctor to take a B-12 vitamin according to my blood work. I view your videos often and now I feel 💯 % sure as to why I need B12 thanks to you. I have acid reflex badly. Thank you Dr. Berg!!

[karuroo]

thank you for all the informative videos! no doctor could help. i'm just glad to find more information to this problem and hopefully get better. with this new info, maybe i can pinpoint it better. my eye sight has been getting worse and still feeling anemic... i have been taking b12 which was helping before but my foot numbing has been coming back... your video informed that i was taking the synthetic one, so I might have bought the wrong bottle. it's good to know.

[tedzerbe]

I've been watching your videos for quite a while and subscribed over a year ago. I find most of your videos informative and this one is no exception. The thumbnail for his video shows a person wearing a CPAP mask device with an arrow pointing to a B12 capsule, I've watched the video twice and did not hear or see any connection between Sleep Apnea and a B12 deficiency. I have sleep apnea and GERD. My diet includes red meat BUT I will buy some B12 and try it, hopefully it helps .

[nicwalker]

Love how you take your time and explain to us on our level of understanding.💞

[apritika]

I am so grateful to you for all that you do, I wish I could subscribe to your channel 100 times.i hope so many people can have this Vital information

I was diagnosed with h- pilori in june of 2022 ! after having stomach issues and sever fatigue ! Im much better now thanks to someones advice on this channel + your advice and the internet ! Probiotics are very important also !

[lynnehalley]

Dr Berg, I really enjoy your videos. Many of your lessons I had to learn the hard way and it took me years. I was bit by a tick in 2016 and was infected with several tick borne diseases. It took over a year to be diagnosed, so it was pretty much chronic by then. Antibiotics were useless, unless I did heavy amounts of them via IV. I chose to do things naturally. All the Lyme literate doctors do agree that you have to make lifestyle changes above all. Fixing my diet, paying attention to all the ways to get good vitamins, fats, carbs, etc. Learning about what exactly is going on in my body and ways to improve it worked for me…and some hyperbaric oxygen therapy too. Thank you for making these videos. They help me remember more about the needs of my body the natural way.
