Your Supplements Are a Lie… Really

Are multivitamins and other health supplements good for you? Find out the truth about vitamins in this video.

A simple test to find out if your supplements contain hidden maltodextrin:

In this video, we’re going to talk about vitamins and supplements. Sometimes, health supplements are discredited because they’re not regulated by the FDA the same way as pharmaceuticals, but it's important to understand the relationship between the FDA and pharmaceutical companies.

People often become employees of the FDA to secure a much higher-paying career at a pharmaceutical company. This plays a major role in the approval of drugs.

Many drugs are approved without enough evidence of safety. Overall, supplements are generally recognized as safe.

In 1989, a dozen people allegedly died from taking L-tryptophan. L-tryptophan is an amino acid that helps you sleep, has an anti-depressive factor, and curbs cravings. The problem arose from a contaminated batch of L-tryptophan that was made using genetically modified bacteria. There was a recall, and the FDA banned the supplement for 16 years.

Synthetic vitamins are much cheaper than natural vitamins but do not have the same effects on the body. Around ⅔ of vitamins come from raw materials made in China, all of which are synthetic industrially made compounds.

There are several reasons why we need vitamins and supplements and why some people need them more than others. The following factors will increase the need for vitamins and supplements:
• Food is grown in poor soils or hydroponically
• Genetics
• Chronic inflammation
• Frequent exercise
• Seed oil consumption
• Grain consumption
• Veganism
• Fasting

We have a very high need for some vitamins and minerals that require a large consumption of certain foods to achieve adequate intake. For example, you need 4700 mg of potassium each day.

Some deficiencies can be dangerous. Deficiencies in folate can mimic the same damage to your DNA as radiation.

Im in my mid 20s . Ive had asthma, sciatica, digestive issues, insomnia covid and many more illnesses.
What ive learned is
1.most doctors just want to drain my pockets.
2. Diet and exercise is king
3. Your mindset can keep you back, sometimes you can heal but if you keep THINKING youre sick, the symptoms won’t leave you. This happened with my sciatica.
4. A good nights sleep is also KING.

The pandemic showed us exactly how reliable our regulatory agencies are. Which is not at all.

FDA to big pharmaceuticals should be a federal crime with a life sentence.

My father has always been an advocate of taking supplements throughout his life. Many doctors dismissed his insistence of the benefits he felt. He's now 95 years old and has outlived every one of those doctors.

I was diagnosed with diabetes fourteen years ago. Under the care of Kaiser Permanente my diabetes got worse, my A1C's stayed steady at thirteen's. My blood sugar in the morning was 258-358 on average. I was on four med's metformin, lisinopril, pioglitazone and glimepiride. They also had me on insulin, seventy units per day. Nothing got better. I gained eighty pounds of weight. When I turned sixty five I was able to escape Kaiser and found your web site. Three years of your advice later. My morning blood sugar averages (98-110). later in the day after a work out as low as (70). Still the same med's but from Walgreen's and NO INSULIN! A1C's in the low eight's.
Slowly losing weight and getting better. Keto-fasting and exercise. Works for me! Thank You!

After the "safe an effective JAB" I have zero trust in medicine.

It’s called the revolving door when employees switch between government and industry.

Supplements $8 = fix the problem vs doctor visit $400 = just gives you more headache

Such a relevant video. I have multiple sclerosis and took the medication for multiple sclerosis for one year. It was complete poison and just about killed me and the efficacy of the medication is very low. I ended up going the holistic route 20 years ago, and by the grace of God, my body healed, and my multiple sclerosis is in remission.

This is probably your single most hard hitting video. I've read a book called 'Natural Cures they don't want you to know' from like 2004, and the message in that book is identical to the one in this video. I feel like in a world im surrounded by people who don't care about these types of things and it's really refreshing to see somebody else so passionate about getting that information out there, using their reputation for good. For me most people just interrogate me about how I know all these things and since i'm not a doctor they don't really believe me.

There is a deep problem at the root of all of this, profit.
Its truly overwhelming to try take your health into your own hands. We should be able to trust the professionals to correctly advise and treat us but the lobby is powerful and too profitable to reflect truth.

Thank you for shedding some light, it is very much lacking

[cbxray]

But nothing will change with this blatant corruption and cheating!! Ty for the education Dr. Berg

[uTomas]

Takes a lot of courage to say those things!

[maliabella]

I love this response video!! Thank you! It’s valuable to hear all sides ❤

Another point - some of today’s vegetables have 50% LESS nutrients then the vegetables from a few decades ago

Dr. Berg
I just got done watching the video you reviewed and then found your video. Both were very informative, but I especially liked that you responded with another side to the story. You're a very detailed and precise educator, which really is important when you're dealing with people's health and wellbeing.
You have helped me greatly and I really appreciate all you do. Keep at it!

[FastedZach]

Doc, please don’t ever quit selling your products! Out of anyone in the world I trust your heart and knowledge, and I know everything is coming from a safe place.

Thank you for all you do!

[melodymcdonald]

Please dont sell out, Eric. No where to turn if you do. All of us trust you so much! Keep up the good work!

[mekman]

Thank you for sticking up for us! I’m glad this is coming out.

It's good to see you have almost 12 mil subs and are still not silenced. I'm happy and very grateful that there are people like you on youtube (and generally in the world)

[susanbboyles]

I’m SO glad you’re sharing this!!! Please keep speaking the truth ❤
