I had a chronic cough until I started keto. I was overweight and had a chronic cough due to acid reflux and ever since my weight loss it’s gone

I'm 73 with Asthma. I had a Chronic deep racking cough with heavy thick mucus for the last 1 1/2 years.
My Respiratory physician had doubled medications I'd been taking and added another. (both Lifetime drugs) to no effect.
I started the B-12 and Calcium Lactate after watching this video. The cough was gone in less than a week.
Wow!

I literally just realized I was B12 deficient for 15 years YESTERDAY!!! My wife started me on B12 and my foot pain went away, chronic cough went away, I use to get easy muscle tears when I trained heavy, my flexibility came back!! I’m blown away!!!

I suffered from this for years. A few months ago I started to take high dose of B12 in natural form and I just realized now that I dont have the chronic cough anymore!

It seems God is using this man to answer my so many puzzles. Thank you Dr Berg. I was pondering about this subject just yesterday.

I didn’t know the connection between vitamin D and low stomach acid. Thanks for mentioning this

[MsBRANDY]

I have a dear friend that has a constant cough that I assumed was just a tic. No other symptoms. I will definitely share! Thanks!

I've literally tried every thing to stop this cough and finally I ordered some calcium lactate you recommended and also on a whim just bought some Vit B12 and my cough is GONE. Omg!! I've had this stupid cough since last fall. Just a dry nagging cough that never responded to cold, allergy medicine or anything else!! I coughed from the moment I sat up in bed and literally all damn day. I was so sick of it.

I was suffering from Asthma. It turned out to be a food allergy. Wheat and dairy were the triggers. Also peanut butter. Coconut Macaroons also made me wheezy so I stopped those. I haven’t determined yet if it’s the coconut or something else in the ingredients. While I was finding out what foods were causing it, I found that dark chocolate relieved the tight chest and breathing difficulty. One bar (90g) of 85% cocoa chocolate relieved the wheezing for about 9 to 11 hours. I eventually removed the trigger foods from my diet. I still had a chronic cough and excessive mucus but at least I could breathe. Eventually I discovered that it was the dark chocolate that was causing the cough. I found this out when I ran out of chocolate for a few days and the cough stopped. I admit that I was probably eating excessive amounts of chocolate. 2 bars per day (180g) because I was using it to keep my weight up too. I’ve stopped the chocolate now. I now need to find foods that will replace the calories I was getting from the chocolate (1060 calories). I find that being restricted in my choice of foods causes a serious problem with maintaining weight. You might be shocked at how many foods contain wheat and dairy. Eliminating them doesn’t leave a great deal of options for maintain weight. I am experimenting with high calorie/high nutrition foods such as eggs, dates, fish etc. Also be aware that fresh fruit and vegetables are not always the best option due to being sprayed with Glyphosate and other sprays. Sometimes canned food can be healthier because that has been removed. Just check the can for additives and don’t buy it if it has anything bad in it.

[marymartha]

Thumbs up, once again, Dr. Berg! I would never have made that connection between chronic coughing and vitamin deficiencies. Thank You!

I ordered the calcium lactate today (8/29/21) will get it in a few days for my chronic cough (even at night 😩) I will update in a few weeks with my results. I thought the garlic clearing my sinuses after a few days would help but it hasn’t. My sinuses are still clear and still elated about that. No more blowing my nose every morning 10 times or more. Thank you to Dr Berg 💖 anxious to start the calcium lactate.

Update: I got the calcium lactate yesterday 8/30/21 took 2 tablets right away, within only 1 hour I already had relief. My throat felt relaxed, (didn’t even realize it wasn’t) the constant urge to cough and clear my throat went away. I take 4-6 tablets throughout the day. I am so happy I found this video. I answer phones all day for work so this is such a relief, I can’t thank you enough Dr Berg. I am always telling my friends and family about the many ways you have helped me. ❤️🥰❤️

Update: 9/3 oh no 😳 it is not working anymore. I don’t know what to do now. My B12 level is good not sure what else to do. I will check some of your other videos on this. Any advice would be much appreciated 🙏

I had cough for 4 months. Turned out I had Candida. I just stopped eating carbs, and my cough was gone in a week.

As a Respiratory Therapist, a chest xray is always the best and first thing to do if you are experiencing a chronic cough. It also very well can be caused by an undiagnosed lung condition.

Stomach acid came up into my mouth and gave me ulcerations in my mouth. I was told that I might have lupus.
Twice in my life I have had laryngeal spam and could not breath when stomach acid came up into my throat and hit my vocal cords...really scary.
Finally, raised the head of my bed 8 inches...no more mouth ulcers.
Increased my vitamin D levels and went on a gluten and dairy free diet and got off the acid blocker meds.

I love that Dr Berg has become like my own personal doctor. I’m so thankful and grateful for him especially during these times 🤍

I would like to suggest a number 8 which is CHD - Congestive Heart Disease. One natural remedy is Dandelion Root capsules which help to reduce the phlegm aka viscid mucus secreted in abnormal quantity in the respiratory passages. Thank you Dr Berg for your daily videos on Keto & all other topics, very helpful.

Number 8: Unresolved, chronic inflammation after infection.

[nwtigerwoodard]

Oh yes I love everything you have to say, especially after coughing all night long. I just cleared up my ear infection and bronchitis two days later All back again.! Thank you very much.❤
