The second most common deficiency in the world, is Drs who understand the interactive nature of the human body. In Canada, before I abandoned the medical system, the rule for medical appointments was “only one symptom can be discussed per appointment”. If you had more than one symptom, you were quickly labeled a hypochondriac. Thanks to Dr. Berg, there are now 18 million people who are learning how little the legacy medical system knows about wellness. ❤️❤️❤️
So true in the United States also. When I took mom for her appointment she said while I'm here can you help with something else. He said No just make another appointment. Well my mom is in her 70s and it isn't easy to get her to go to the doctor. So she was just like oh for get it. So ridiculous.
About 10 years ago, I was feeling extremely fatigued and had other symptoms as well. I just felt awful. I finally talked myself into seeing a doctor. I was hesitant because I had already developed a negative view of the medical community by that time. After telling the doctor of my symptoms, she proceeded to prescribe me Zoloft. I was LIVID!!!! I was NOT depressed....I knew there was a root cause to how I was feeling. I asked her about tests that could be done to pinpoint whatever was going on. She said no! What a crappy doctor! I got online and found a functional medicine doctor (something I had wanted to do to begin with, but knew my insurance wouldn't cover it). This doctor spent an hour+ with me going over my full history, and then tested my blood for everything you could imagine...hormones, nutrients, etc. Guess what? I was ANEMIC!!! And very low in Vit. D. Those two deficiencies explained ALL of my symptoms. The ignorant first doctor could have easily tested my iron since the first symptom I mentioned to her was extreme fatigue. If I had trusted her, I would have taken a mind-altering DRUG and still would not have addressed my root cause. Shame on her!!!! I also learned (from the functional med doc) that my iron absorption was very low as well. Within ONE WEEK of taking iron (with C) and D3, I felt almost back to normal. We have to advocate for ourselves, even if it means paying out of pocket. Much of the medical community can no longer be trusted!
Paying “out of pocket”…Quoting my mom here = “Pay for the Dr ‘s next Cruise or Invest in your Health.” “You are investing in your well being never an expense”.
I'm a functional nutrition counselor and mental health counselor. I tell my clients all the time to follow you. I love how you empower people to take their health in their hands and advocate for themselves with their doctors.
How did you get into that combination of fields? ...btw my daughter a rising college sophomore is thinking psychology is her area of passion career wise I am terrified for her. 😮
I started out as a masters in counseling. After some years, I took "Full Body Systems " with Adrian Nagasaki. This made me a functional nutrition counselor. Since then, I have taken continuous training in both topics. What leads you to be scared for her?
Excerpts: Symptoms of iron deficiency: • Hair loss • Arrhythmias • Fatigue and weakness • Dark circles under the eyes • Restless leg syndrome • Difficulty sleeping • Low cold tolerance • Split nails • Trouble concentrating • Fibromyalgia We need iron to help build hemoglobin and thyroid hormones, to make dopamine, and to keep nerve impulses working correctly. There are many different causes of iron deficiency. However, it's more common to have non-anemic iron deficiency than anemia. This means that the lack of iron isn't affecting the blood yet, but it's affecting other parts of the body. Iron deficiency causes: • Not consuming enough iron (animal products) • IBS • Inflammation • Stress or trauma • Bleeding or ulcers • Low hydrochloric acid • Menstruation • Gastric bypass surgery • Excessive exercise • Antacids • Fibroids • Pregnancy • Breastfeeding • Puberty • Eating disorders • Phytic acid • Tannins (tea, coffee, red wine) • Chocolate • Polyphenols (turmeric, red wine) • Polymorphism • Too much calcium or magnesium • Infection • Oxalates It's best to get your iron from your diet before jumping into taking an iron supplement. Foods rich in iron are red meat, liver, and shellfish. However, liver pills or spleen pills could be good supplement options. You also need to work towards identifying why you're iron deficient so that you can fix the root cause. If you have too much iron in your body, you can try natural remedies, including: • Distilled water • Turmeric • Cocoa bean • Black tea • A phytic acid supplement (IP6) • EDTA Thank you Dr Berg and meowgratulations to your channel with 18 million Catscribers! 😺👍
My wife has been diagnosed with arthritis for nearly as long as I have known her. She has scoliosis (pretty severe) and had corrective surgery with bars placed in her back. I guess the doctors just saw scoliosis on her paperwork and decided she had arthritis. We finally got a doctor who did the necessary bloodwork and found out she was severely low in many nutrients. It turns out her body simply doesn't hold onto minerals well at all. We bought her a great vitamin complex that (starting with vitamin D to allow absorption of other minerals) eliminated nearly all of her pain within a month. She sometimes has problems consistently taking it, but it's allowed her to begin considering her health on a larger scale. She has lost 40 lbs since she is now able to exercise and feel something other than pain. Sorry for the long comment, but vitamin deficiency is a serious problem and MD's do not consider it enough.
You're a brilliant husband (or brilliant wife - apologies if I made an assumption) . It's great that you take so much interest and care in her health. She's blessed to have you as not all partners are so attentive to the other's needs. Wishing you many happy and healthy years together ❤️
@@kickie6323 start with vitamin D. Without it no other vitamins can be absorbed. Eat real fats (butter, etc.) Not just vegetable based oil because they don't transport vitamins the same. She takes Source of Life women's liquid from Natures Plus. It feels wierd to recommend a specific product, but I think it's a good one, and free from pretty much all allergens as well

Congratulations Dr. Berg! You are the most brilliant, ethical, giving, caring Doctor that I have ever known. You've helped me change my life, and yes, I agree with going with 100 million in 2023. We appreciate your honesty and hard work. We love how you explain everything so well. Keep it coming.
I saw doctors for years for the pain I was in. Excruciating pains throughout my body. I was treated like someone who wanted drugs. Although I never was prescribed it and never asked for painkillers. Finally I found a dr that encouraged me to take iron, vitamin D, and magnesium. I have been for about a year and most of my pain is now gone. If I stop taking vitamins, I will have an even worse flare up of pain. Vitamins. That's all I needed. Doctors who don't believe patients should find a new profession.
I agree doctors that don't listen and are not concerned or convinced by your symptoms shouldn't be doctors there's quite a lot of them in Netherton surgery Dunfermline
@@shoppingrb9544 He is the most real one if you consider the vast amount of information he shares about the human body and how various deficiencies affect it.
@Shopping Rb: Since Dr Berg is helping people all over the world heal their illnesses, he is most certainly a "real doctor." Dr Berg is more of a real doctor than any M.D. that I've been treated by. Dr Berg helps people get healthy, not cover up symptoms.
I agree 100%! “…your degree is just a piece of paper, your education is seen your behavior, attitude and character.” -Thomas Jefferson Dr. Berg is SO MUCH MORE of a PHYSICIAN than any medical doctors out there. He genuinely cares about us and our wellbeing.

Dr. Berg, thank you so much. I started searching the internet instead of looking for medical advice after I was called a hypochondriac by a doctor when my ferritin level was so low, that it was not detectable by a test. Thanks to you I am fit and healthy now and I stay away from medications, including the experimental injectable ones. I truly believe you saved my life.
indeed. I have lost all respect for the "modern medical system". as an fyi, the USA has the highest medical costs in the world, and a life expectancy LOWER than all other industrialized countries. that alone tells us that there is a problem with the current system.
@@jobob47 i lost all respect for the medical system when i watched a 'true story' movie called Lorenzo's Oil (1992 Susan Sarandon & Nick Nolte) - two parents found not just a treatment but a cure for a disease which our entire planet of medical experts couldn't even treat! i later learned just how criminal the global medical system is - Big Pharma deliberately refuses to research cures and will only treat symptoms, knowing full well that a healed person won't be coming back for more drugs! Big Pharma also 'bought and paid' for not only pollyticians, but also bought big medical institutions, thus modifying the way doctors are trained basically reducing them to legalized drug pushers further investigation brought me to the sad knowledge that the correct use of correctly prescribed Big Pharma medications outright kills approx 200k Americans every year (more than 5 million globally) and on top of that more than 150k are outright killed by human error in hospital - they do not die from their illness! the final nail in the coffin, so to speak, was the plannedemic and the shotclot! it seems there is no remedy for such a corrupted system
I started having medical issues in my early 20s. I’m now 37. I was told time and time again that it was in my head. I was told I was hypochondriac and also that I was mentally ill. This went on for YEARS. I knew something was medically wrong. Every test I got that got me my diagnosis was testing that I personally asked doctors for and I don’t believe I would have ever found out what was wrong if I wasn’t advocating for myself. I had extremely low ferritin of 2 and low iron of 10. My b12 was also low at 200. I found out after years of fatigue, hair loss, and extreme aches that I had pernicious anemia and iron deficiency anemia caused by autoimmune atrophic gastritis. It caused me to develop SIBO as well from achlorhydria from atrophic gastritis. It isn’t fun to live with but I’m sort of proud of myself for figuring it all out without little help from doctors. I have since been able to find great specialists for my rare conditions with these anemias.
Good for you for staying with it long enough to find out for your body what was wrong. BELIEVE WHAT YOUR BODY IS TELLING YOU!! I knew my Dad, Mom, and Sister had all been tested and treated for allergies. When I decided that I was probably not going to make it for another 5 years I decided to start with an allergist. I lived in a small town but we took the Houston paper, and lo and behold someone did a half page write up, with a picture, in the Sunday section. All I could deduce was that someone thought this Allergist walked on water!! I was able to get in to see Dr Jacob Siegel several months later and after tests found out I was more allergic that the rest of my family put together!! And then a woman I'd met in the allergist's office sent me a tape from a Doc in Birmingham where he speaking at a medical conference on Candida, so I also went to see him also. Both did their own research and published in NE Journal of Medicine and the Lancet. This was before Big Pharma had control of both publications. Dr Truss also published 2 books, The Missing Diagnosis, and The Missing Diagnosis II. I'm 80 now and still have a lot of health problems but I can beat them back with a low carb Rotary Diet. My husband had always told me my migraines were in my head, I told him he was right! lol But I learned to take my allergist's advice to listen to my body, it would tell me when something is wrong.
Watch his other video on anemia. He describes what you are but calls it something else. Then gives the remedy for it by naming the exact supplements to take to heal it.
Medical gaslighting happens ALL THE TIME. I had hypercorticolism caused by an adrenal tumor. I saw over 10 doctors from cardiologists to endocrinologists to naturopaths, acupuncturists, general practitioners . My symptoms were so obviously Cushing’s syndrome but they didn’t believe I had any of those symptoms because I wasn’t “fat enough”. Since I had multiple symptoms I was labeled as a hypochondriac (it’s even in my medical file “hypochondriac”). Instead of believing me they decided to brush it off as anxiety since I was also diagnosed with anxiety 20 years ago. If anxiety or depression is in your file, they won’t give you the time of day. Anyways, it took 5 years and countless doctors for one of them to finally take me seriously and prescribe the right tests and imaging and BOOM there it was. A cortisol producing tumor that was slowly killing me. Moral of the story: I don’t trust “experts” or the medical system anymore.
Im scared i have something similar. I beg for a screen or picture but they say they see no need in it. Physical exams today wont ever show you whats inside. People are dying from doctors who wont take them seriously, in my cause cause im "young".
My bf has cushing's syndrome. We figured it out just last year. He's always had a host of problems, which didn't "pin down" easily. Until we happened to look up cushing's syndrome. Perfect match of symptoms all the way down the list. Hypochondriacs are people who read about symptoms, and then imagine they have those symptoms. But many MANY people are simply trying to figure out what matches existing symptoms so they can hopefully fix it. And usually are very frustrated because they can't find a solid match in symptoms. There's a big difference.
@@kathrynck it’s a horrible disease and for some people it can take a very long time to get diagnosed because medical professionals are unable to think critically. For some reason men are also diagnosed sooner than women. Perhaps they’re taken more seriously when it comes to medical diagnosis. Glad he figured it out. It’s so hard to live with and recovery isn’t a walk in the park either. I’m still suffering 2.5 years after this surgery from the effects of adrenal insufficiency and electrolyte imbalance and POTS.
@@MABO07 Agree on the doctors. Between some doctors being "holier than thou" in mentality, and the medical industry itself being outright ghoulish, I'm just about done with modern medicine. Glad you got the tumor taken care of though!
Thank you Dr. Berg. I quit taking ANY perscriptions in the '90's because of bad effects plus not trusting most doctors. I take a cabinet full of supplements, including remembering to eat beef liver for the iron at least 2-3 times a month. My Nephrologist tells me at age 86 that he believes I'm the healthest patient he has.
I felt extreme fatigue, had nightmares, felt sensations of falling and nausea. I went to the doctors and my doctor said it may be anxiety and gave me medication. I researched into Iron deficiency and had a feeling it could be this. I decided I would not take the medication and would instead take Iron supplements. In the process of this I asked my doctor for a blood test for Iron and vitamins. Somehow they forgot to check the Iron but after nearly 1 month of taking Iron supplements I am feeling much better. Thank you for this video. It helps so much
My friend has an allergy to iron and can’t take tablets or infusions. She takes black strap molasses instead and it works as she has blood tests all the time. Side effect was that her periods are no longer painful
I am 70 years of age. My mother use to line us up weekly for a spoonful of Black Strap Molasses, which she learned from her mother. Back then, people relied more on Mother nature and herbs than prescriptions.
Congratulations Dr. Berg! I tell everyone about you. My liver enzymes were elevated, and high BP until I started listening to you. Last blood test everything was normal. I'm 62. Thank you!
I went to a doctor in Michigan for a prostate problem. That doctor totally ignored my prostate problem and prescribed an aspirin a day for high blood pressure. That doctor did absolutely nothing for my prostrate problem. I found out later with my own research that men with prostrate problems are deficient in zinc. With more research I found out that green peas have a lot of zinc in them , so I eat a lot of green peas now and take a zinc supplement and that has eased my prostate problem GREATLY. The allopathic poison drug pushing doctor that wanted me to take too much aspirin DID NOT TELL ME ABOUT THAT. In medical school for the most part they don’t teach doctors about nutrition. Good food is actually medicine , and prescription meds are actually poison in my estimation.
Our son was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. We were trying to ease his symptoms by following a specific diet. One day I was working with a general oncologist and asked him if there're any suggestions he would give me. He said they had only one 30 minute lecture on nutrition, but spent months discussing drugs. Here's your answer, your Dr has no clue of how to help you naturally. Plus, pharmacy companies pay his wage.
Also start taking milled Flaxseed/Linseed. My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer 11 years ago now and has not had to have treatment yet. It was recommended by the Cancer Nurse. His hormone levels have slowly risen over the years but to the level where he needs treatment. My husband is taking it too. it's also got the most non soluble fibre of any grain, and the best source of all the Omega Oils, 3,6,9. Something else to get checked out is your selenium levels as most of the world tends to be deficient in that too. It works well in combination with Zinc and Magnesium. It also lowers the bad Cholesterol and raises the good Cholesterol so it is definitely something worth adding to you diet. No more than one ounce per day though. I just pop it into a large glass of water, stir it around and knock it back. Tastes a little bit nutty. The reason for taking no more than one ounce is that it contains cyanogenic glycosides and if you were to take more than this, we're taking 2 ounces or more, it will bind in the body with water and make cyanide. Which would not be safe. Anything can be dangerous, it just depends on the dosage. A couple of bananas gives you all the potassium that you need as well. I hate them and have to get it from other veg. Also Aspirin doesn't lower high blood pressure. It can be helpful for older people in stopping heart attacks but, it has more risks than benefit if taken in higher doses. It's banned for children in the UK and not recommended for anyone unless as a mild blood thinner for older people to help prevent heart attacks. Diet and nutrition prevent far more than a lot of medicines can fix.
@robertcross7571 that makes me very glad that I live in Ireland where we have small farms and our locally grown veg. I know which farm my beef comes from, and it's always grass fed and they're out all year round. We still mostly eat seasonally and it's lovely, as you get to look forward to things coming into season. Also they still practise crop rotation here so that there is no need to be pumping man made fertilisers into the ground. It might be a more antiquated of fashioned type place but our fruit and veg is nutritious and our meat raised in a humane manner, have good lives and are slaughtered locally so as to cause them the least stress possible. I hate bananas personally but get my potassium from other sources. I also do not microwave things as much as possible, as they've proven that this destroys nutrients in the food as well. Industrial farming is helping to destroy our world. But please do take in the information about the Flaxseed/Linseed and please do your own research which will confirm this as well.
@robertcross7571 I was just explaining that to my Dad When he was a kid fruits and vegetables were so much more nutritious than they are today. Depletion of the minerals, microbes/ beneficial bacteria has been killed off by the use of chemical fertilizers pesticides and other poisons. Genetically modified products are inherently less flavorful less sweet and less nutritious
It really gets down to the reality to be your own doctor With access to the internet as videos such as Dr. Berg's It self education,a never ending journey. Mainstream medicine doctors and medical"plans" are all weaponized platforms to extract money I started learning natural medicine in my teens. Now in my 60's I still learn I simply do not go to doctors....only once to a naturopath
I was prescribed iron pills that made me extremely constipated but then I done my research and learned that eating organ meats (chicken livers I love them) and beet juice along with B12 the kind of dissolves under my tongue and fixed all of my issues...love you videos Dr Berg ❤️
Iron and B12 supplements are also recommended for Iron Anemia Deficiency. That can affect both men and women. In the past, it was revealed that women needed Iron more than men. Perhaps so in younger men, but not so in older men. Men need Iron too. But, not so much as women though.
Way this is the first time I heard if you consume turmeric and you are vegan or vegetarian it might cause iron probs as I do try eat a lot of iron from legumes and veggie even its lower. But I am never visible in super low range on blood test. I did have anemia when younger and I was still eating meat. Definitely can tick list of restless legs, some sleepless nights, oh lowing cold can`t stand warm rooms , heating restaurant fasting always which is so embarrassing……so now I would love to know more details about turmeric intake stops iron …for vegans ….I have been taking turmeric capsules with black peper for better absorption on daily basis for yes quiet while , if anyone have more details about it would love to learn more….going investigating😅…always love all the food and chemical reaction science inside our body❤ never stop DR.
Dr. Berg , you said you have more than 18 million subscribers. Of course you do ! You are one of the best doctors worldwide ! 👍👍 keep up the good work. I love your videos !!! 👍👍
I've heard this from every doctor in the last few years: "You ARE getting older..." to explain: apnea, joint pain/arthritis, hearing loss, hair loss, and pretty much every problem I talk to doctors about. I'm 53 years old, exercise 45 min a day walking, 20 lbs over weight, and otherwise in good health. They might be right, but they are also 100% consistently trying to shut down conversations by explaining away my concerns as "you didn't realize you were getting old". I've so far avoided CPAP by losing weight and using an oral appliance. Avoided high blood pressure meds by the same measures. And avoided pre-diabetes meds by the same measures. They just want to fill me with products, not manage my health. That's the danger we all face, older or not.
"They just want to fill me with products, not manage my health." You said a mouthful. They get kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies depending on the amount of prescriptions they write.
I went to an overweight doctor, and she desperately wanted to put me on high blood pressure meds. I was just borderline at the time. She never once mentioned anything about my diet or exercise.
"You are getting older", " you DO have underlying conditions ", and my personal favorite " are you SURE you are not deptessed?".I'm so tired of being told these things -or contradictory things that I'm ready to stop seeing a!! Drs. :(
For years, I had test after test to figure out what was wrong with me. I was tested for hypothyroid, always testing my blood levels, and they were ALWAYS normal! I started taking iron with vitamin C and my hair, my eyebrows, eyelashes started growing back, my skin was no longer as dry, wounds I'd had for several months started healing, my hands and feet warmed up, was less fatigued and foggy. It literally changed my life!

@@lonigirl8807 A proper, healthy diet over time will allow most people to stop taking most medications. Food is medicine. But, it's easier to pop a pill than eat super healthy, day in-day out, forever.

@@pinkgummybear766 Agree, myself and everyone I know say doctors just want to put you on a pill if you don't have any obvious ailment like a broken bone or strain. I will add if anyone reading this is curious about eating a truly healthy, nutritious diet, check out cronometer. It's a free to use app/site that measures all the micronutrients of your daily food intake. You can specify which nutrients it shows and it adds percentages to the easy to understand graph 📊 as you add your food you eat. Very helpful to see deficiency in your diet. I've got my diet 100% of all key nutrients by using these staples of my daily intake- 4oz ground beef, 1oz veal liver, 3 raw egg yolks, large cup of broccoli 🥦, 1oz pumpkin seeds, 2oz cheddar. Those foods will cover 80-90% of RDA (recommended daily allowance)...but in reality most real nutritionists agree that US RDA's are too low.
Dangerous advice. There are numerous books on the perils of iron accumulation in tissues (not serum Ferritin). Copper deficiency is the root cause of 90% of iron regulation problems, including anemia. We are all suffering from excess iron in our tissues and copper insufficiency. This causes oxidative stress and aging. Some are experiencing epigenetic reversal of the MTHFR allele after correcting copper metabolism. For further info see the work of Morley Robbins.
Love the science, I'm blown away by how much science is really at the root of nutrition. If this science was mainstream in the health care professions it would be a very different world. On to 1billion subscribers Dr Berg, you go!! thankyou
There’s a reason why the “healthcare” system doesn’t approve of natural health... it is fully run/backed by the pharmaceutical companies. Natural health doesn’t make these companies any money, they profit off of people’s illness and ignorance... you CAN heal yourself naturally, they just don’t want you to know that. They want people to be reliant on their drugs/procedures. That’s where they profit, into the trillions.
Dr Berg you would have to be the best Dr in the world. Since following you I have studied and researched everything you tell us and you are magnificent! I have recommended you to many of my friends and family. Thank you and much love from Australia 🇦🇺
Is 30mg of iron per day in a multivitamin supplement for a 60-year-old man enough? I use medicines every day to reduce acid in the stomach... (I apologize for my bad English) Thank you
I'm sincerely happy for you Dr. Berg! That's great! Plus you should have that many, and more. You help people heal naturally, not just shove poison in their body. I believe there is a time and circumstance for medicine, but not the cx way it's done now. I feel like we are cattle.

Thank you for saying that medical issues are not always in the mind. In 2020 I got Covid, was sent to a Hematologist where in my 50s I was told I had an active case of G6PD Deficiency. My whole life I'd been told my fatigue and constant illnesses were psychological. It was anemia and a blood disorder. Thanks Dr Berg.
Me too I've been given antidepressants for years.. then one fine day i found that my ferritin is terribly low... I stopped all other meds, now on vit d3, k2 and zinc ... Willing to get some blood because iron pills jst add to my IBS.
There are four types of iron supplementation stay away from pure ferrous iron. Try chelated iron, iron in floradix liquid supplement is a plant based high iron source. There is a water packaged from wales very high iron content you drink one pack per day. Try different things some iron will work and not flare your ibs. Research it.

You have this many subscribers because we trust you more than our own doctors, our doctors are not educating us at all, we have to be an educated patient in order to be able to go in and talk to these people so they can figure out things the right way, because a lot of these doctors cannot put the connection of two and two together, they're specialties and they keep thinking in the box instead of how things are linked.
Thank you Dr. Berg, you have exactly described what happened to me. I was misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia for years, suffered terrible muscle pains and a myriad of other symptoms, which all turned out to be corrected with a $7 bottle of iron supplement. I was elated but also devastated that so many years had gone by which I essentially lost all quality. I was in my early 30s all the way into my 40s before I received the "diagnosis". For all of those years, my blood count showed that I was just inside of the Normal range, and I asked every doctor if I should be concerned about that, and they all say, "no, you are find, you are within range." What I've learned from all of this is that my "normal" is nowhere near the bottom of the range. The pain was unbelievable. Hair loss, restless legs, smooth tongue, chronic chapped lips, etc. Had it all. Very sad. Now I'm in my 60s and am finally feeling better than in my whole life. Following you, Dr. Mercola and Medical Medium have changed everything for me. You each provide invaluable information. Thank you.
I actually knew a person who would pass out walking from doctors office To her vehicle. Her iron was barely in the low range of acceptable. Once she found a physician that knew somethong and treated her with more iron---she lived a normal life.. I prayed for a doctor for me, found him too. One of the best things i ever did for my health.
The human body is a well-designed machine with interactive and overlapping systems. Not systems independent of each other in function. This video review of iron is very well done. When I was in medical school there was not any emphasis placed on nutrition and wholistic medicine. As a practicing MD of 27 years I've always taken that approach and it works. I really appreciate these videos.
As a fellow doctor all I can say is that hearing a professional, that is more experienced than me, denouncing the "its all in your mind" routine used by many of our colleagues and focusing on the importance of a good medical history and differential diagnosis is refreshing. In my opinion, medical gaslighting is a real thing and labelling all symtomps as "mental" dooms the patient to delayed diagnosis and decreased quality of life more times that we can ever imagine. What makes a good doctor, first and above everything else (even adequate knowledge), is caring about the patient. A non-diligent doctor is more dangerous than a medically uneducated one that cares. At least the last one will seek a more experienced doctors help or revisit his books and recap his knowledge. Its also nice to see a doctor giving a spotlight to nutrition habits/ alimentation as they indeed affect human physiology in many ways and not all physicians consider them as factors that are influential to disease or are even trained to recognize and treat them. P.S.: Apart from Fe, ferritin and general blood count I find TIBC a test very useful in solving anemia conundrums.

My energy is improving and waking up less tired now. I was also on a daily aspirin routine for my heart and I think that could have caused issues with my iron deficiency. I stopped that also recently.
Thank you SOOOOOOOO MUCH for making this video!!! In 2021 I had almost every symptom you listed and more. I was bedridden. I missed 5 weeks of work. My kids thought I was gonna die. I went to 12 doctors (3 ER’s) and all except one believed me when I said, “it feels like I have a deficiency”. One ER doctor said it was anxiety. Of course I disagreed with her. I googled nonstop with my goldfish brain. I found Dr. Esa Soppi’s medical literature on iron deficiency without anemia and it fit me like a glove. I studied it and everything I could about iron and how to treat it. In my case i was having shortness of breath and brain zaps and probably needed an IV. I supplemented heavily (I studied it first) I fixed myself and 4 days later I could walk to the mailbox. 9 days later I could work again. After about 8 months I got my ferritin up to the optimal level of 100 (I test myself now) and my hair started growing like crazy and I feel like I haven’t felt in decades. I now have zero trust in western medicine. It’s sad that so many people probably feel like it did and haven’t found the answer. Thank you for making this video!!!
I don’t understand your frustration with the ER dr’s. I have PCOS, and went one night when a few hours after I’d been bleeding very, very badly for months and months, and my dr got the results back for an iron, hemoglobin etc test, and said i needed to go the ER to have a blood transfusion. I did go, and I was talking to the ER dr who said ‘ands why do you think the bleeding is causing the anemia?’ I wanted to hit this man in the head with a brick… He finally got my results back for my iron and all that stuff, and my red blood cell count and said ‘we’re going to type you right now and call the blood bank. You’re going to need a few pints of blood tonight!’ They gave me two bags of O+, and I began to feel better and started breathing easier after the first bag finished. By the end of the second bag, I didn’t feel like I was lifting a 50lb bag of flour when raising my arm to even bring my hand to my face to itch my nose. I’m glad you were able to fix yourself and get back to your life.
@@insekta1701 I’m glad you were able to get help. I needed an iron transfusion so bad but getting them to even look at iron was impossible because I wasn’t anemic. Look at us now though 😃
Congrats Dr. Berg! I’ve probably contributed to your fandom 😆 I live in Taiwan and have shared your mandarin translated channel to many of my family members and friends! And I just bought your supplements too!
Dr.Berg is bridge between allopathy and Indian ayurvedic system … He is explaining Indian ayurvedic system in modern science way …. He is genius … that’s how I can describe him…
You can’t uptake iron properly if you have low Vitamin D3 or your gut wall is damaged by grain consumption. You’ll also have low calcium levels despite consuming dairy foods. Heal the gut and optimize vitamin D3/K2 levels. Iodine helps, too. Eat seaweed for this. I use Wakame and Arame.
Extra blood they don't need when drawing your blood. Every test per tube they use. For example A male nurse stated he will draw extra blood just in case they needed to run more test. Technically they aren't suppose to do that. You draw what's needed. And if you need more you get it from the catheter that's already in your arm if your at a hospital. I felt like the nurse stole my blood to drink it. I told someone this the other day and this just happened a week ago.
Appreciate your videos so much! Thanks for talking about MTHFR. I have lost so many years of my life being so fatigued, depressed, and doctors not knowing about MTHFR. Doctors solution was ALWAYS antidepressants, which didn't help at all. It made me feel like such a failure.
@ Paloma Cortez I also have a MTHFR double mutation. Can you tell me what supplements you take and if they are helping? I suffer with severe anxiety and stomach issues. Wonder if it’s related. 🤷♀️
@@lisaleed7615 be careful with b12,flate and folic acid and sulpher foods. Some say take methylated forms of those b vitamins but makes so many way worse. Folinic acid and there's also a different b12 by a company. I'll check..
@@lisaleed7615 hydroxyy b12 and folinic acid by seeking health supplements. Id still take not daily. But seeking health has a complex multi vitamin called minus one that has no methyl...it says minus one on it.
Congratulations to all your success Dr. Berg. You are saving and improving lives. Your research, analysis and ability to make associations, presentation, bedside manner -- priceless.
If a doctor tells you that it is all in your head, get another dr. Learn to help yourself and help others. Be your own doctor. You will add many years onto your life.
Going to see a hematologist was one of the best things I’ve ever done. He was able to interpret the values for all the components of my blood to properly diagnose and treat my iron deficiency anemia. I require iron infusions occasionally but at least I’m being taken seriously and closely monitored. This is extremely valuable considering that I suffer from digestive and gynecological issues that exacerbate my anemia.
I remember when I was a kid, in the 1970s, my grandparents would get b12 and iron "shots" at their doctor. Not even at a hospital, at his local gp office in town.
Same. My hematologist has to keep a close eye on my labs. I got iron infusions in April, and just tested low again, so they're scheduling another infusion. I have AVMs of the small intestine that interferes with iron absorption.
@@veekay9977 Arteriovenous malformations - which are small tangled up arteries and veins that come to the surface in my small intestine and have micro-bleeds off and on. They found them in my small intestine when I did the pill/capsule camera endoscopy. The capsule camera reaches areas of the intestines that can't be reached with regular colonoscopies.
Whoa, this is perfect timing! I realized this deficiency on my own last week and immediately felt better after I started eating iron supplement, but also eating more meat and drinking apple vinegar concotion instead of coffee. I didn't suspect to have iron deficiency, because I always had good iron levels in blood testing, so I somehow decided I can't be "anemic". And I do have hypothyroidism. Also I did eat much less meat over the summer. And I did get basically all the signs you listed, and I blamed half of them on depression. But then I couldn't allow my hair to keep falling out, so you can say vanity brought me to a proper research ;)
Our doctors have their hands tied by insurance companies. I hear that a lot. We need to sue the insurance companies for interfering with our qualified doctors ability to diagnosis and treat disease.
This video is 😘 Doc! The only thing that needs greater emphasis is *heavy menstrual periods*. I find this to be one of the more common causes of Iron deficiency. And if that's the case, working on hormones and slowing down the bleed are hugely helpful. For example, there is an herb called Sheppards Purse that can help lessen menstrual bleeding. It's borderline miraculous in cases like these!
Try serrapeptase for heavy bleeding. It should help after 2 or 3 months. And it should reduce pain and any type of inflammation. It gets rid of scar tissue and endometriosis.
Yes! I’ve been hospitalized several times for iron deficient anemia due to heavy prolonged menstruation. There’s a supplement on Amazon called slow flow and I swear by it! Shepherds purse is one of the ingredients. Definitely works 🎉
Congratulations Dr. Berg, well deserved. You are definitely changing peoples lives for good every single day. My utmost respect and love. Keep up the good work. Your channel is one of the most valuable one on TH-cam.
Among a couple of other recommendations, my UCLA Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia specialist told me to have B12 injections 3x weekly at my HMO, reaching what other doctors viewed as dangerously excessive. The UCLA doc told me to ignore the other drs. - and he was right. Within a short span I finally began to feel like a human again, and to function like one.
Wow, this is some seriously profound and potentially life-changing stuff right here, and so well researched and presented. I was quite clueless about most of this stuff, but now I know and will be making adjustments to the diet and supplementation accordingly. Thank you so much Dr. Berg! You are a true hero, filling in the gaps left by our incompetent mainstream medical systems, and we respect and appreciate you immensely. ❤💯
Good Morning , Dr.Berg 🌈 Congratulations on 18 million 🌟 Thank you so much sharing very Interesting and Helpful Information with us , God bless you all ! ❤ 11 / 4 / 2022 ❤
DR BERG, your Chinese channel is very good and watched by Chinese people around the world, not just in Taiwan. It is incorrect to say your channel is translated into Taiwanese. Taiwanese is just one of the many spoken Chinese dialects, not the written form. There are 2 written forms of Chinese: (1) Simplified Chinese used in China and Singapore, and (2) Traditional Chinese used in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese worldwide, including Korea, South East Asia, USA, Europe, etc. Your existing Chinese channel is in Traditional Chinese, which is reaching Chinese viewers worldwide. Just want to provide a broader perspective for you in case your Chinese translation team overlooked and did not inform you. The Chinese translation is excellent. Your Chinese channel could easily be converted to Simplified Chinese to create a second Simplified Chinese Channel to reach even more people - potentially Billion of Chinese all over the world. Thank you so much for you & your team's contribution. ❤
18 million!!! No Dr. Berg....THANK YOU!!! You have such a great way of presenting all these issues in a calm, easy to understand and caring way. Thank you!!!
I'm so glad to hear that you have reached 18 Million subscribers - you totally deserve it! I have just sent this video to my dad because he has restless leg syndrome. I am telling him to subscribe to you. I have also done a couple of things that you suggested (for a couple of different conditions that I had) & they helped! Thank you! 😊
Congratulations Dr Eric Berg🎉 You deserve it for your effortless update of man health& through your daily upload you save many people life from this confused medical world!! And I’m glad to be an one of your subscriber!!May God bless you💚
Thank you for that Dr Berg. I appreciate your videos because I live in Greece and Greece has the largest number of pharmacies per inhabitant in all of Europe. Everyone I know is being prescribed drugs in one form or another. Surgeries are always jam-packed with patients wanting repeat prescriptions. I hate taking pills so I avoid seeing doctors. I did have to see a cardiologist about occasional arrhythmias and he said I have a very good heart (the heart of someone 20 years younger than my age) and he prescribed pills which gave me terrible side effects - as did the second lot of different pills - so I stopped taking them. Since I don't eat read meat I am going to buy some Iron pills and see if they make a difference. Thanks again. (Loving the beard)
Five years ago my blood test showed low iron and hemoglobins. I was referred to a specialist who said I needed iron infusions. I always check my insurance to see if I’m covered. They said they would check and call me if any problem. No calls so I went in on the appointment day. The receptionist knew nothing about my insurance. They set me down and brought in a drip which they said would take about three hours! I asked the head nurse about my insurance. She called the insurance department and told me they would pay one thousand dollars a session. She said you also pay a one thousand dollar deductible!!!🤦🏻♀️😧 I asked how many infusions I would need. She said four and then a blood test to see about more!!😧 Four thousand dollars- twelve hours and four appointments!!👎🏼 I cancelled everything and am now taking iron supplements and getting blood tests. It’s not improving but has stopped going down. MY doctor says it may be a slow process. It always is for more money 💵 I’m 77 and need good health care. Can’t get it without BIG premiums!!
Dr Berg- your advice on vitamin B has been a huge help to me. I've run out and had to save up to get some more (given that I decided to find organic not chemically copied pills) and am still waiting for these to come from overseas. In the couple of weeks that I've not had these, the pain in my arms and legs, and especially the numbness in my feet has really become worse. Can't wait to get the new pills. My doctor's advice when I told him about these problems was to 'not worry about it.' That really helped- NOT! Two years later, he did give me a vitB shot but that didn't seem to do much for me. I do take Magnesium as well to help with the pain. I hope that won't cancel the vitB. Anyway, thanks for all your advice.
Thank you Dr. Berg for touching on doctors saying it’s all in our heads. Thank you for being understanding of that. You’re a rare 💎 !!! I can’t tell you how many doctors I’ve been to in my life that have told me this, especially MD’s & of the worst to say it back…mental health professionals (that I was always referred to by the MD’s)! 😩 It’s a back n forth battle between them. A wild goose chase! I’ve had 3 different DO’s that never told me this. I’ve had a good DC as yourself that was also great & I’ve had 2 holistic specialist that never told me that & was extremely helpful as well. Btw, I take a children’s chewable with iron daily. No other iron source has helped me. They either constipate me or make me sick. The chewable I take is loaded with C, A, mag & more. Plus it’s sugar free.
Dr Berg, you are so right and understand how a patient feels when being told 'everything is in your mind'. I've seen a doctor who instead of helping to cure me, told me to stop thinking about my sickness. Wow! I didn't know we could think up a sickness.😄
Shortly after I got married, I gave my sister-in-law a subscription to Science Digest. There was an article about an experiment done at a Texas university on iron levels. A large number of students were divided into 3 sections according to their blood iron levels, normal, low, and a control group. All 3 groups were put through stamina tests then the normal and low groups were given iron supplements. After a few weeks, they were put through the stamina tests again. No change for the control group or 1/2 of the normal group, as expected. The low group showed a marked improvement (expected) as did the other 1/2 of the “normal” group (totally unexpected). This article was published in the early 1970s.
Out of nowhere, I had an iron spike earlier this year. My heart would pound, and I would get out of breath just walking from room to room. While my hemoglobin was low, my iron saturation was 76. That was a bit counterintuitive. Too much iron leads to the blood carrying less oxygen. Two weeks later my iron levels were back to normal. Just more fallout from a septic infection last year.
Thank you for filling in a void that is sorely missing in today's medical and healthcare professionals/industry. Congrats on your viewership - you deserve it!
Sadly, most farmers don't pay attention to iron content... and if it is the wrong chelation, it doesn't help plants either. This is actually also a huge systemic problem in agriculture. I bet the proper chelation form would be more beneficial for human health as well.Thanks Dr Berg! Congrats on 18+ million! That's awesome!
I just want to thank you for being there with your very special way of explanation for lay people and your sympathetic attitude that comes across which makes people feel very at ease. I have now watched many of your wonderfully informative videos and thank heaven you are there. The main point of my comment, however, is the affect of the GP situation, probably across the world by now, because of how GP's, doctors and other so called medical professionals, have handled the current 'experimental drug' circumstances of the last 2-3 years. I, for one, have become very dissolutioned with the intention of doctors, who have been financially incentivised to dish out these 'vaccines', and will find it extremely hard to go to mine, at any time soon because of my lack of faith in their capability to actually work for the people who pay them i.e. the public (which makes me wonder whether they really are educated on the subject of human health) or in reality, do they actually work for the recently exposed, financially motivated pharmaceutical industry.
Congratulations on 18 million viewers you are the best doctor in the whole wide world on nutrition If every doctor was like you there wouldn’t be so many sick people in the world they would be in better health you know everything about the body inside and out we appreciate all you do God bless you and your family keep up the good work Dr. Eric berg
Congratulations Dr Berg. I started losing my hair a few years back and it puzzled me why and made me worry. As always, Dr Berg to the rescue. Thank you.
I can't tell you how many times I've gone to a doctor for help with an issue and after they did testing they told me I was perfectly fine. And they would then treat me as if I were a hypochondriac. If they only knew how long I had suffered before I finally decided to go get checked out, they would realize I'm far from a hypochondriac and that exact reaction is why I've delved into natural healing and mostly self diagnose and self treat with herbs and supplements. One example is I've broken almost all of my toes at some point, my pinkie toes multiple times. Hairline fractures always, but still. One has been broken so many times it's now permanently deformed. My last Primary who I somewhat trusted decided to do some free x-rays, because I mentioned the one was still tender and I was unable to bend it without immense pain. Well, the x-rays showed zero residual damage and he said it was a "perfectly healthy and normal looking toe." I still had a lingering discoloration in the skin from the last break that was extremely tender. That was the last time I went there. I haven't been back to even a wellness check since.
Dr. Berg, my family thanks you abundantly. Congratulations! You help people. One of the greatest services of this world. Sharing your post throughout. You are appreciated, Dr. Berg.
Congratulations Dr. Berg. You are a good teacher and you do your best for us. I followed your advice on Keto diet and on exercise , and I lost 18 lbs in 4 months. I used to eat sugar free cereal, No bread, little bit of rice and Pasta, low fat, and a lot of fruit. I used to walk on high intensity with lift on treadmill for an hour. I didn’t lose weight. I am glad that I saw your video and I follow your diet. Thank you so much
I've watched other videos on this subject but Dr. Berg is the most informative and in dept video there is....thank you for helping us Dr. Berg you are awesome....
Thank you Dr Berg! ❤ So much more information is needed for this topic, i find my whole life I've experienced very dismissive doctors, it's literally the "too hard basket" for them. I have Thalassemia Minor (yes I know this is a completely different topic, but you can imagine my level of tired), in addition to this, ever since I gave birth 8 years ago, I've been on a non stop rollercoaster of iron deficiency, ferritin deficiency (either or at any given time). I consume so much red meat, I'm surprised i haven't turned into it 😂 but apparently the absorption problem is a lot to do with my Thalassemia. Anyways, I'd love a video about Ferritin deficiency vs Iron deficiency and treatments, or even anything on Thalassemia Minor (which no doctors I've ever been to can understand). 🇦🇺
We need more doctors like you.. willing to explain issues. Unfortunately many doctors are time pressured by the establishment to see as many patients as possible in the least amount of time
I was low iron my entire life. My great grandpa died of pernicious anemia and there's a genetic issue with that side of the family metabolizing B vit and iron. My iron got a lot better when I stopped eating gluten and corn. My iron is up to 77 after years of sitting around 22, although the healthy range is 75 to 360.
As the opposite of u I have hereditary hemochromatosis. By the love of god do not consume cabbage since it’s what I use to chelate iron (no need for bloodletting anymore).

The second most common deficiency in the world, is Drs who understand the interactive nature of the human body. In Canada, before I abandoned the medical system, the rule for medical appointments was “only one symptom can be discussed per appointment”. If you had more than one symptom, you were quickly labeled a hypochondriac. Thanks to Dr. Berg, there are now 18 million people who are learning how little the legacy medical system knows about wellness. ❤️❤️❤️
Brilliantly said.
Exactly. Canadian here, so true.
They keep you sick by masking symptoms with big pharma drugs . There's a reason why there is a snake wrapped around a pole🤷
SO TRUE!!!
So true in the United States also. When I took mom for her appointment she said while I'm here can you help with something else. He said No just make another appointment. Well my mom is in her 70s and it isn't easy to get her to go to the doctor. So she was just like oh for get it. So ridiculous.
About 10 years ago, I was feeling extremely fatigued and had other symptoms as well. I just felt awful. I finally talked myself into seeing a doctor. I was hesitant because I had already developed a negative view of the medical community by that time. After telling the doctor of my symptoms, she proceeded to prescribe me Zoloft. I was LIVID!!!! I was NOT depressed....I knew there was a root cause to how I was feeling. I asked her about tests that could be done to pinpoint whatever was going on. She said no! What a crappy doctor! I got online and found a functional medicine doctor (something I had wanted to do to begin with, but knew my insurance wouldn't cover it). This doctor spent an hour+ with me going over my full history, and then tested my blood for everything you could imagine...hormones, nutrients, etc. Guess what? I was ANEMIC!!! And very low in Vit. D. Those two deficiencies explained ALL of my symptoms. The ignorant first doctor could have easily tested my iron since the first symptom I mentioned to her was extreme fatigue. If I had trusted her, I would have taken a mind-altering DRUG and still would not have addressed my root cause. Shame on her!!!! I also learned (from the functional med doc) that my iron absorption was very low as well. Within ONE WEEK of taking iron (with C) and D3, I felt almost back to normal. We have to advocate for ourselves, even if it means paying out of pocket. Much of the medical community can no longer be trusted!
Time and time again I see this theme. The medical establishment is an overpriced failure.
Paying “out of pocket”…Quoting my mom here =
“Pay for the Dr ‘s next Cruise or Invest in your Health.”
“You are investing in your well being never an expense”.
That's what they do .just give them a mind drug .
The medical field is all about the easy way out and making money .
@ Sacrad Amen to that.

How did you get into that combination of fields?
...btw my daughter a rising college sophomore is thinking psychology is her area of passion career wise

Excerpts:
Symptoms of iron deficiency:
• Hair loss
• Arrhythmias
• Fatigue and weakness
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Restless leg syndrome
• Difficulty sleeping
• Low cold tolerance
• Split nails
• Trouble concentrating
• Fibromyalgia
We need iron to help build hemoglobin and thyroid hormones, to make dopamine, and to keep nerve impulses working correctly.
There are many different causes of iron deficiency. However, it's more common to have non-anemic iron deficiency than anemia. This means that the lack of iron isn't affecting the blood yet, but it's affecting other parts of the body.
Iron deficiency causes:
• Not consuming enough iron (animal products)
• IBS
• Inflammation
• Stress or trauma
• Bleeding or ulcers
• Low hydrochloric acid
• Menstruation
• Gastric bypass surgery
• Excessive exercise
• Antacids
• Fibroids
• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding
• Puberty
• Eating disorders
• Phytic acid
• Tannins (tea, coffee, red wine)
• Chocolate
• Polyphenols (turmeric, red wine)
• Polymorphism
• Too much calcium or magnesium
• Infection
• Oxalates
It's best to get your iron from your diet before jumping into taking an iron supplement. Foods rich in iron are red meat, liver, and shellfish. However, liver pills or spleen pills could be good supplement options.
You also need to work towards identifying why you're iron deficient so that you can fix the root cause.
If you have too much iron in your body, you can try natural remedies, including:
• Distilled water
• Turmeric
• Cocoa bean
• Black tea
• A phytic acid supplement (IP6)
• EDTA

My wife has been diagnosed with arthritis for nearly as long as I have known her. She has scoliosis (pretty severe) and had corrective surgery with bars placed in her back. I guess the doctors just saw scoliosis on her paperwork and decided she had arthritis. We finally got a doctor who did the necessary bloodwork and found out she was severely low in many nutrients. It turns out her body simply doesn't hold onto minerals well at all. We bought her a great vitamin complex that (starting with vitamin D to allow absorption of other minerals) eliminated nearly all of her pain within a month. She sometimes has problems consistently taking it, but it's allowed her to begin considering her health on a larger scale. She has lost 40 lbs since she is now able to exercise and feel something other than pain.
Sorry for the long comment, but vitamin deficiency is a serious problem and MD's do not consider it enough.
You're a brilliant husband (or brilliant wife - apologies if I made an assumption) . It's great that you take so much interest and care in her health. She's blessed to have you as not all partners are so attentive to the other's needs. Wishing you many happy and healthy years together ❤️
Can you share the name of the Vitamin complex she takes? Thank you.
@@kickie6323 start with vitamin D. Without it no other vitamins can be absorbed. Eat real fats (butter, etc.) Not just vegetable based oil because they don't transport vitamins the same. She takes Source of Life women's liquid from Natures Plus. It feels wierd to recommend a specific product, but I think it's a good one, and free from pretty much all allergens as well
Fresh celery juice a glass everyday works wonders too
@@ritalawson7020 sounds good. Celery isn't very expensive either. I am trying to include more oregano also because it is supposed to help with mucus and sinuses. Here in the south it's always sinus season
Congratulations Dr. Berg! You are the most brilliant, ethical, giving, caring Doctor that I have ever known. You've helped me change my life, and yes, I agree with going with 100 million in 2023. We appreciate your honesty and hard work. We love how you explain everything so well. Keep it coming.
So glad someone finally spoke up about being told, "It's all in your head". Patients hear this way too often.
I saw doctors for years for the pain I was in. Excruciating pains throughout my body. I was treated like someone who wanted drugs. Although I never was prescribed it and never asked for painkillers. Finally I found a dr that encouraged me to take iron, vitamin D, and magnesium. I have been for about a year and most of my pain is now gone. If I stop taking vitamins, I will have an even worse flare up of pain. Vitamins. That's all I needed. Doctors who don't believe patients should find a new profession.
They are trained on the medical model not holistically
I agree doctors that don't listen and are not concerned or convinced by your symptoms shouldn't be doctors there's quite a lot of them in Netherton surgery Dunfermline
This is by far the most valuable channel on TH-cam. Thank you so much Dr. Berg.

@@shoppingrb9544 He is the most real one if you consider the vast amount of information he shares about the human body and how various deficiencies affect it.

Dr. Berg, thank you so much. I started searching the internet instead of looking for medical advice after I was called a hypochondriac by a doctor when my ferritin level was so low, that it was not detectable by a test. Thanks to you I am fit and healthy now and I stay away from medications, including the experimental injectable ones. I truly believe you saved my life.
indeed. I have lost all respect for the "modern medical system".
as an fyi, the USA has the highest medical costs in the world, and a life expectancy LOWER than all other industrialized countries.
that alone tells us that there is a problem with the current system.

i lost all respect for the medical system when i watched a 'true story' movie called Lorenzo's Oil (1992 Susan Sarandon & Nick Nolte) - two parents found not just a treatment but a cure for a disease which our entire planet of medical experts couldn't even treat!
i later learned just how criminal the global medical system is - Big Pharma deliberately refuses to research cures and will only treat symptoms, knowing full well that a healed person won't be coming back for more drugs! Big Pharma also 'bought and paid' for not only pollyticians, but also bought big medical institutions, thus modifying the way doctors are trained basically reducing them to legalized drug pushers
further investigation brought me to the sad knowledge that the correct use of correctly prescribed Big Pharma medications outright kills approx 200k Americans every year (more than 5 million globally) and on top of that more than 150k are outright killed by human error in hospital - they do not die from their illness!

@GrapeJelly A breakaway system is needed. Functional medicine may help.
@GrapeJelly Great research keep speaking up.
I started having medical issues in my early 20s. I’m now 37. I was told time and time again that it was in my head. I was told I was hypochondriac and also that I was mentally ill. This went on for YEARS. I knew something was medically wrong. Every test I got that got me my diagnosis was testing that I personally asked doctors for and I don’t believe I would have ever found out what was wrong if I wasn’t advocating for myself. I had extremely low ferritin of 2 and low iron of 10. My b12 was also low at 200. I found out after years of fatigue, hair loss, and extreme aches that I had pernicious anemia and iron deficiency anemia caused by autoimmune atrophic gastritis. It caused me to develop SIBO as well from achlorhydria from atrophic gastritis. It isn’t fun to live with but I’m sort of proud of myself for figuring it all out without little help from doctors. I have since been able to find great specialists for my rare conditions with these anemias.
Good for you for staying with it long enough to find out for your body what was wrong. BELIEVE WHAT YOUR BODY IS TELLING YOU!! I knew my Dad, Mom, and Sister had all been tested and treated for allergies. When I decided that I was probably not going to make it for another 5 years I decided to start with an allergist. I lived in a small town but we took the Houston paper, and lo and behold someone did a half page write up, with a picture, in the Sunday section. All I could deduce was that someone thought this Allergist walked on water!! I was able to get in to see Dr Jacob Siegel several months later and after tests found out I was more allergic that the rest of my family put together!! And then a woman I'd met in the allergist's office sent me a tape from a Doc in Birmingham where he speaking at a medical conference on Candida, so I also went to see him also. Both did their own research and published in NE Journal of Medicine and the Lancet. This was before Big Pharma had control of both publications. Dr Truss also published 2 books, The Missing Diagnosis, and The Missing Diagnosis II. I'm 80 now and still have a lot of health problems but I can beat them back with a low carb Rotary Diet. My husband had always told me my migraines were in my head, I told him he was right! lol But I learned to take my allergist's advice to listen to my body, it would tell me when something is wrong.
😢😭
I'm sorry you went through this. You deserve better 💚.
How are you doing now?
Watch his other video on anemia. He describes what you are but calls it something else. Then gives the remedy for it by naming the exact supplements to take to heal it.
Medical gaslighting happens ALL THE TIME. I had hypercorticolism caused by an adrenal tumor. I saw over 10 doctors from cardiologists to endocrinologists to naturopaths, acupuncturists, general practitioners . My symptoms were so obviously Cushing’s syndrome but they didn’t believe I had any of those symptoms because I wasn’t “fat enough”. Since I had multiple symptoms I was labeled as a hypochondriac (it’s even in my medical file “hypochondriac”). Instead of believing me they decided to brush it off as anxiety since I was also diagnosed with anxiety 20 years ago. If anxiety or depression is in your file, they won’t give you the time of day. Anyways, it took 5 years and countless doctors for one of them to finally take me seriously and prescribe the right tests and imaging and BOOM there it was. A cortisol producing tumor that was slowly killing me. Moral of the story: I don’t trust “experts” or the medical system anymore.
Glad you're o.k. now, but yeah, don't trust any doctors.
Im scared i have something similar. I beg for a screen or picture but they say they see no need in it. Physical exams today wont ever show you whats inside. People are dying from doctors who wont take them seriously, in my cause cause im "young".
My bf has cushing's syndrome. We figured it out just last year. He's always had a host of problems, which didn't "pin down" easily. Until we happened to look up cushing's syndrome. Perfect match of symptoms all the way down the list.
Hypochondriacs are people who read about symptoms, and then imagine they have those symptoms. But many MANY people are simply trying to figure out what matches existing symptoms so they can hopefully fix it. And usually are very frustrated because they can't find a solid match in symptoms. There's a big difference.
@@kathrynck it’s a horrible disease and for some people it can take a very long time to get diagnosed because medical professionals are unable to think critically. For some reason men are also diagnosed sooner than women. Perhaps they’re taken more seriously when it comes to medical diagnosis. Glad he figured it out. It’s so hard to live with and recovery isn’t a walk in the park either. I’m still suffering 2.5 years after this surgery from the effects of adrenal insufficiency and electrolyte imbalance and POTS.
@@MABO07 Agree on the doctors. Between some doctors being "holier than thou" in mentality, and the medical industry itself being outright ghoulish, I'm just about done with modern medicine.
Glad you got the tumor taken care of though!
Thank you Dr. Berg. I quit taking ANY perscriptions in the '90's because of bad effects plus not trusting most doctors. I take a cabinet full of supplements, including remembering to eat beef liver for the iron at least 2-3 times a month. My Nephrologist tells me at age 86 that he believes I'm the healthest patient he has.
That's wonderful! I would love to succeed that well in life, and be healthy at 86!
“Healthest” ?
May the Most High bless you even more. Big hug. Take care.🙏🤗❤️👍
Wow that is amazing I'm so happy and proud of you!!
I'd rather trust a rattlesnake .
I felt extreme fatigue, had nightmares, felt sensations of falling and nausea. I went to the doctors and my doctor said it may be anxiety and gave me medication. I researched into Iron deficiency and had a feeling it could be this. I decided I would not take the medication and would instead take Iron supplements. In the process of this I asked my doctor for a blood test for Iron and vitamins. Somehow they forgot to check the Iron but after nearly 1 month of taking Iron supplements I am feeling much better. Thank you for this video. It helps so much
My friend has an allergy to iron and can’t take tablets or infusions. She takes black strap molasses instead and it works as she has blood tests all the time. Side effect was that her periods are no longer painful
I am 70 years of age. My mother use to line us up weekly for a spoonful of Black Strap Molasses, which she learned from her mother. Back then, people relied more on Mother nature and herbs than prescriptions.
@@lightgiver7311Mothers were our doctors, passed on generation to generation. It needs to be brought back.
Molasses gets rid of gret hair too when taken daily sue to the coller content. One tablespoon daily in yogurt or cereal or plain if u can handle it

@@Drberg Hi Dr Berg
Could you please make a video on nail eating and how to cure it
I went to a doctor in Michigan for a prostate problem. That doctor totally ignored my prostate problem and prescribed an aspirin a day for high blood pressure. That doctor did absolutely nothing for my prostrate problem. I found out later with my own research that men with prostrate problems are deficient in zinc. With more research I found out that green peas have a lot of zinc in them , so I eat a lot of green peas now and take a zinc supplement and that has eased my prostate problem GREATLY. The allopathic poison drug pushing doctor that wanted me to take too much aspirin DID NOT TELL ME ABOUT THAT. In medical school for the most part they don’t teach doctors about nutrition. Good food is actually medicine , and prescription meds are actually poison in my estimation.
Our son was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. We were trying to ease his symptoms by following a specific diet. One day I was working with a general oncologist and asked him if there're any suggestions he would give me. He said they had only one 30 minute lecture on nutrition, but spent months discussing drugs. Here's your answer, your Dr has no clue of how to help you naturally. Plus, pharmacy companies pay his wage.
Also start taking milled Flaxseed/Linseed. My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer 11 years ago now and has not had to have treatment yet. It was recommended by the Cancer Nurse. His hormone levels have slowly risen over the years but to the level where he needs treatment.
My husband is taking it too. it's also got the most non soluble fibre of any grain, and the best source of all the Omega Oils, 3,6,9. Something else to get checked out is your selenium levels as most of the world tends to be deficient in that too. It works well in combination with Zinc and Magnesium. It also lowers the bad Cholesterol and raises the good Cholesterol so it is definitely something worth adding to you diet. No more than one ounce per day though. I just pop it into a large glass of water, stir it around and knock it back. Tastes a little bit nutty.
The reason for taking no more than one ounce is that it contains cyanogenic glycosides and if you were to take more than this, we're taking 2 ounces or more, it will bind in the body with water and make cyanide. Which would not be safe.
Anything can be dangerous, it just depends on the dosage.
A couple of bananas gives you all the potassium that you need as well. I hate them and have to get it from other veg.
Also Aspirin doesn't lower high blood pressure. It can be helpful for older people in stopping heart attacks but, it has more risks than benefit if taken in higher doses. It's banned for children in the UK and not recommended for anyone unless as a mild blood thinner for older people to help prevent heart attacks.
Diet and nutrition prevent far more than a lot of medicines can fix.
@robertcross7571 that makes me very glad that I live in Ireland where we have small farms and our locally grown veg. I know which farm my beef comes from, and it's always grass fed and they're out all year round.
We still mostly eat seasonally and it's lovely, as you get to look forward to things coming into season. Also they still practise crop rotation here so that there is no need to be pumping man made fertilisers into the ground.
It might be a more antiquated of fashioned type place but our fruit and veg is nutritious and our meat raised in a humane manner, have good lives and are slaughtered locally so as to cause them the least stress possible.
I hate bananas personally but get my potassium from other sources.
I also do not microwave things as much as possible, as they've proven that this destroys nutrients in the food as well.
Industrial farming is helping to destroy our world.
But please do take in the information about the Flaxseed/Linseed and please do your own research which will confirm this as well.
@robertcross7571 I was just explaining that to my Dad When he was a kid fruits and vegetables were so much more nutritious than they are today. Depletion of the minerals, microbes/ beneficial bacteria has been killed off by the use of chemical fertilizers pesticides and other poisons. Genetically modified products are inherently less flavorful less sweet and less nutritious
It really gets down to the reality to be your own doctor
With access to the internet as videos such as Dr. Berg's
It self education,a never ending journey. Mainstream medicine doctors and medical"plans" are all weaponized platforms to extract money
I started learning natural medicine in my teens. Now in my 60's I still learn
I simply do not go to doctors....only once to a naturopath
I was prescribed iron pills that made me extremely constipated but then I done my research and learned that eating organ meats (chicken livers I love them) and beet juice along with B12 the kind of dissolves under my tongue and fixed all of my issues...love you videos Dr Berg ❤️
Very smart lady getting your iron from food! I wish I could tolerate liver
I have the opposite problem and was hoping the iron would strengthen my stool but it didn't 🙄
I also take B12 under the tongue 👍🏻
Iron and B12 supplements are also recommended for Iron Anemia Deficiency. That can affect both men and women. In the past, it was revealed that women needed Iron more than men. Perhaps so in younger men, but not so in older men. Men need Iron too. But, not so much as women though.
Way this is the first time I heard if you consume turmeric and you are vegan or vegetarian it might cause iron probs as I do try eat a lot of iron from legumes and veggie even its lower. But I am never visible in super low range on blood test. I did have anemia when younger and I was still eating meat. Definitely can tick list of restless legs, some sleepless nights, oh lowing cold can`t stand warm rooms , heating restaurant fasting always which is so embarrassing……so now I would love to know more details about turmeric intake stops iron …for vegans ….I have been taking turmeric capsules with black peper for better absorption on daily basis for yes quiet while , if anyone have more details about it would love to learn more….going investigating😅…always love all the food and chemical reaction science inside our body❤ never stop DR.
Thank you. You've helped me with constipation issues. How to relieve.
Dr. Berg , you said you have more than 18 million subscribers. Of course you do ! You are one of the best doctors worldwide ! 👍👍 keep up the good work. I love your videos !!! 👍👍
I've heard this from every doctor in the last few years: "You ARE getting older..." to explain: apnea, joint pain/arthritis, hearing loss, hair loss, and pretty much every problem I talk to doctors about. I'm 53 years old, exercise 45 min a day walking, 20 lbs over weight, and otherwise in good health. They might be right, but they are also 100% consistently trying to shut down conversations by explaining away my concerns as "you didn't realize you were getting old".
I've so far avoided CPAP by losing weight and using an oral appliance. Avoided high blood pressure meds by the same measures. And avoided pre-diabetes meds by the same measures. They just want to fill me with products, not manage my health. That's the danger we all face, older or not.
Look into CLA ..It worked for me to lose 30 Lbs.... It Works !!!...And Do a Colon Cleanse...Dr. Natura has a Good One 👍
"They just want to fill me with products, not manage my health." You said a mouthful. They get kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies depending on the amount of prescriptions they write.
I went to an overweight doctor, and she desperately wanted to put me on high blood pressure meds. I was just borderline at the time. She never once mentioned anything about my diet or exercise.
Phil 562, you sound like someone visiting UK doctors. They are mostly useless. You are at good place to learn about keeping yourself healthy.
"You are getting older", " you DO have underlying conditions ", and my personal favorite " are you SURE you are not deptessed?".I'm so tired of being told these things -or contradictory things that I'm ready to stop seeing a!! Drs. :(
For years, I had test after test to figure out what was wrong with me. I was tested for hypothyroid, always testing my blood levels, and they were ALWAYS normal! I started taking iron with vitamin C and my hair, my eyebrows, eyelashes started growing back, my skin was no longer as dry, wounds I'd had for several months started healing, my hands and feet warmed up, was less fatigued and foggy. It literally changed my life!
Is that a supplement that combines the two? Also, given its efficacy, woild you mind sharing the brand name and the specific product? Thank you!
@@coppulor6500 I take 2 separate supplements, Women's Iron with folate from Windsor Botanicals and whatever vitamin c is available. I personally take 1000 mg vit. C.

How did you reduce the medications.
@@lonigirl8807
A proper, healthy diet over time will allow most people to stop taking most medications. Food is medicine. But, it's easier to pop a pill than eat super healthy, day in-day out, forever.
@@lonigirl8807 I got off of my medications by using a clinical pharmacist through my regular doctor. My blood work was so good that she agreed to help me get off the meds. Perhaps you have a doctor that will help you, but if you don’t, don’t give up just get another doctor.

Doctors otherwise known as Local drug dealers . They are awful.
@@pinkgummybear766
Agree, myself and everyone I know say doctors just want to put you on a pill if you don't have any obvious ailment like a broken bone or strain.
I will add if anyone reading this is curious about eating a truly healthy, nutritious diet, check out cronometer. It's a free to use app/site that measures all the micronutrients of your daily food intake. You can specify which nutrients it shows and it adds percentages to the easy to understand graph 📊 as you add your food you eat. Very helpful to see deficiency in your diet.
I've got my diet 100% of all key nutrients by using these staples of my daily intake- 4oz ground beef, 1oz veal liver, 3 raw egg yolks, large cup of broccoli 🥦, 1oz pumpkin seeds, 2oz cheddar. Those foods will cover 80-90% of RDA (recommended daily allowance)...but in reality most real nutritionists agree that US RDA's are too low.
Dangerous advice. There are numerous books on the perils of iron accumulation in tissues (not serum Ferritin). Copper deficiency is the root cause of 90% of iron regulation problems, including anemia. We are all suffering from excess iron in our tissues and copper insufficiency. This causes oxidative stress and aging. Some are experiencing epigenetic reversal of the MTHFR allele after correcting copper metabolism. For further info see the work of Morley Robbins.
doc is better than any doc who we pay alot
Love the science, I'm blown away by how much science is really at the root of nutrition. If this science was mainstream in the health care professions it would be a very different world. On to 1billion subscribers Dr Berg, you go!! thankyou
There’s a reason why the “healthcare” system doesn’t approve of natural health... it is fully run/backed by the pharmaceutical companies. Natural health doesn’t make these companies any money, they profit off of people’s illness and ignorance... you CAN heal yourself naturally, they just don’t want you to know that. They want people to be reliant on their drugs/procedures. That’s where they profit, into the trillions.
Yeah, and that would cause the doctor to loose their luxurious lifestyle, they don't like patient's telling them what to do!

Thank you for saying that medical issues are not always in the mind. In 2020 I got Covid, was sent to a Hematologist where in my 50s I was told I had an active case of G6PD Deficiency. My whole life I'd been told my fatigue and constant illnesses were psychological. It was anemia and a blood disorder. Thanks Dr Berg.
Was wondering what medical advice did they give you? Medications, food etc...
How did you fix the blood disorder please
Me too I've been given antidepressants for years.. then one fine day i found that my ferritin is terribly low... I stopped all other meds, now on vit d3, k2 and zinc ... Willing to get some blood because iron pills jst add to my IBS.
There are four types of iron supplementation stay away from pure ferrous iron. Try chelated iron, iron in floradix liquid supplement is a plant based high iron source. There is a water packaged from wales very high iron content you drink one pack per day. Try different things some iron will work and not flare your ibs. Research it.
@@FatimaZahra-oe6br I’m glad you’re feeling better. It’s amazing how stopping all your prescribed meds and taking Vitamins/supplements has helped you. I’m familiar w- Vit. D & Zinc and I may know this, but right now I’m drawing a blank- lol, what is K2?
You have this many subscribers because we trust you more than our own doctors, our doctors are not educating us at all, we have to be an educated patient in order to be able to go in and talk to these people so they can figure out things the right way, because a lot of these doctors cannot put the connection of two and two together, they're specialties and they keep thinking in the box instead of how things are linked.
Gina Ross: They're not trained to think holistically. Look up "functional medicine" with Dr Mark Hymen instead.
Thank you Dr. Berg, you have exactly described what happened to me. I was misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia for years, suffered terrible muscle pains and a myriad of other symptoms, which all turned out to be corrected with a $7 bottle of iron supplement. I was elated but also devastated that so many years had gone by which I essentially lost all quality. I was in my early 30s all the way into my 40s before I received the "diagnosis". For all of those years, my blood count showed that I was just inside of the Normal range, and I asked every doctor if I should be concerned about that, and they all say, "no, you are find, you are within range." What I've learned from all of this is that my "normal" is nowhere near the bottom of the range. The pain was unbelievable. Hair loss, restless legs, smooth tongue, chronic chapped lips, etc. Had it all. Very sad. Now I'm in my 60s and am finally feeling better than in my whole life. Following you, Dr. Mercola and Medical Medium have changed everything for me. You each provide invaluable information. Thank you.
I actually knew a person who would pass out walking from doctors office
To her vehicle. Her iron was barely in the low range of acceptable.
Once she found a physician that knew somethong and treated her with more iron---she lived a normal life..
I prayed for a doctor for me, found him too. One of the best things i ever did for my health.
You told my story.

Most common mineral deficiency globally is MAGNESIUM !!
The human body is a well-designed machine with interactive and overlapping systems. Not systems independent of each other in function. This video review of iron is very well done. When I was in medical school there was not any emphasis placed on nutrition and wholistic medicine. As a practicing MD of 27 years I've always taken that approach and it works. I really appreciate these videos.
manofreedom, your patients are lucky. I would love to see that in very GP surgery.
Thank you for caring for your patients properly.
Holistic, not wholistic.
no, it is not. hence its faults
and I suspect you are not a doctor... based on your writing style, bad grammar and spelling...
As a fellow doctor all I can say is that hearing a professional, that is more experienced than me, denouncing the "its all in your mind" routine used by many of our colleagues and focusing on the importance of a good medical history and differential diagnosis is refreshing. In my opinion, medical gaslighting is a real thing and labelling all symtomps as "mental" dooms the patient to delayed diagnosis and decreased quality of life more times that we can ever imagine.
What makes a good doctor, first and above everything else (even adequate knowledge), is caring about the patient. A non-diligent doctor is more dangerous than a medically uneducated one that cares. At least the last one will seek a more experienced doctors help or revisit his books and recap his knowledge.
Its also nice to see a doctor giving a spotlight to nutrition habits/ alimentation as they indeed affect human physiology in many ways and not all physicians consider them as factors that are influential to disease or are even trained to recognize and treat them.
P.S.: Apart from Fe, ferritin and general blood count I find TIBC a test very useful in solving anemia conundrums.
Great comment! Thank you.
What is TIBC?

I was fatigued everyday laying in bed until I went to work in the afternoon and couldn’t figure it out. I overdid it in the gym many times and over the years I took too many antacids.

Thank you SOOOOOOOO MUCH for making this video!!! In 2021 I had almost every symptom you listed and more. I was bedridden. I missed 5 weeks of work. My kids thought I was gonna die. I went to 12 doctors (3 ER’s) and all except one believed me when I said, “it feels like I have a deficiency”. One ER doctor said it was anxiety. Of course I disagreed with her. I googled nonstop with my goldfish brain. I found Dr. Esa Soppi’s medical literature on iron deficiency without anemia and it fit me like a glove. I studied it and everything I could about iron and how to treat it. In my case i was having shortness of breath and brain zaps and probably needed an IV. I supplemented heavily (I studied it first) I fixed myself and 4 days later I could walk to the mailbox. 9 days later I could work again. After about 8 months I got my ferritin up to the optimal level of 100 (I test myself now) and my hair started growing like crazy and I feel like I haven’t felt in decades. I now have zero trust in western medicine. It’s sad that so many people probably feel like it did and haven’t found the answer. Thank you for making this video!!!

I don’t understand your frustration with the ER dr’s. I have PCOS, and went one night when a few hours after I’d been bleeding very, very badly for months and months, and my dr got the results back for an iron, hemoglobin etc test, and said i needed to go the ER to have a blood transfusion. I did go, and I was talking to the ER dr who said ‘ands why do you think the bleeding is causing the anemia?’ I wanted to hit this man in the head with a brick… He finally got my results back for my iron and all that stuff, and my red blood cell count and said ‘we’re going to type you right now and call the blood bank. You’re going to need a few pints of blood tonight!’ They gave me two bags of O+, and I began to feel better and started breathing easier after the first bag finished. By the end of the second bag, I didn’t feel like I was lifting a 50lb bag of flour when raising my arm to even bring my hand to my face to itch my nose. I’m glad you were able to fix yourself and get back to your life.

You can’t uptake iron properly if you have low Vitamin D3 or your gut wall is damaged by grain consumption. You’ll also have low calcium levels despite consuming dairy foods. Heal the gut and optimize vitamin D3/K2 levels. Iodine helps, too. Eat seaweed for this. I use Wakame and Arame.

Going to see a hematologist was one of the best things I’ve ever done. He was able to interpret the values for all the components of my blood to properly diagnose and treat my iron deficiency anemia. I require iron infusions occasionally but at least I’m being taken seriously and closely monitored. This is extremely valuable considering that I suffer from digestive and gynecological issues that exacerbate my anemia.
I remember when I was a kid, in the 1970s, my grandparents would get b12 and iron "shots" at their doctor. Not even at a hospital, at his local gp office in town.
Same. My hematologist has to keep a close eye on my labs. I got iron infusions in April, and just tested low again, so they're scheduling another infusion. I have AVMs of the small intestine that interferes with iron absorption.
@@diana6842 whats AVM?
@@veekay9977 Arteriovenous malformations - which are small tangled up arteries and veins that come to the surface in my small intestine and have micro-bleeds off and on. They found them in my small intestine when I did the pill/capsule camera endoscopy. The capsule camera reaches areas of the intestines that can't be reached with regular colonoscopies.
@@diana6842 it never got caught in stool test? The bleed that is.
Whoa, this is perfect timing! I realized this deficiency on my own last week and immediately felt better after I started eating iron supplement, but also eating more meat and drinking apple vinegar concotion instead of coffee. I didn't suspect to have iron deficiency, because I always had good iron levels in blood testing, so I somehow decided I can't be "anemic". And I do have hypothyroidism. Also I did eat much less meat over the summer. And I did get basically all the signs you listed, and I blamed half of them on depression.
But then I couldn't allow my hair to keep falling out, so you can say vanity brought me to a proper research ;)
Our doctors have their hands tied by insurance companies. I hear that a lot. We need to sue the insurance companies for interfering with our qualified doctors ability to diagnosis and treat disease.
This video is 😘 Doc! The only thing that needs greater emphasis is *heavy menstrual periods*. I find this to be one of the more common causes of Iron deficiency. And if that's the case, working on hormones and slowing down the bleed are hugely helpful. For example, there is an herb called Sheppards Purse that can help lessen menstrual bleeding. It's borderline miraculous in cases like these!
@@fractal4619 Thank you for sharing your experience with this! It's amazing what herbs can do 🤩
Or if you got the shots.
Try serrapeptase for heavy bleeding. It should help after 2 or 3 months. And it should reduce pain and any type of inflammation. It gets rid of scar tissue and endometriosis.
It can also be a vit, A deficiency.
Yes! I’ve been hospitalized several times for iron deficient anemia due to heavy prolonged menstruation. There’s a supplement on Amazon called slow flow and I swear by it! Shepherds purse is one of the ingredients. Definitely works 🎉
Congratulations Dr. Berg, well deserved. You are definitely changing peoples lives for good every single day. My utmost respect and love. Keep up the good work. Your channel is one of the most valuable one on TH-cam.
Congrats Dr. Berg! 🎉 Well deserved. Your videos are super informative and super succinct. Thank you!
Very glad to be of help. Thanks for the support!
Among a couple of other recommendations, my UCLA Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia specialist told me to have B12 injections 3x weekly at my HMO, reaching what other doctors viewed as dangerously excessive. The UCLA doc told me to ignore the other drs. - and he was right. Within a short span I finally began to feel like a human again, and to function like one.
Wow, this is some seriously profound and potentially life-changing stuff right here, and so well researched and presented. I was quite clueless about most of this stuff, but now I know and will be making adjustments to the diet and supplementation accordingly. Thank you so much Dr. Berg! You are a true hero, filling in the gaps left by our incompetent mainstream medical systems, and we respect and appreciate you immensely. ❤💯
Dr. Eric berg you’re my inspiration I only listen to you and I watch you from Saudi Arabia ❤️❤️
Very glad to be of help.
Good Morning , Dr.Berg 🌈

DR BERG, your Chinese channel is very good and watched by Chinese people around the world, not just in Taiwan. It is incorrect to say your channel is translated into Taiwanese. Taiwanese is just one of the many spoken Chinese dialects, not the written form. There are 2 written forms of Chinese: (1) Simplified Chinese used in China and Singapore, and (2) Traditional Chinese used in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese worldwide, including Korea, South East Asia, USA, Europe, etc. Your existing Chinese channel is in Traditional Chinese, which is reaching Chinese viewers worldwide. Just want to provide a broader perspective for you in case your Chinese translation team overlooked and did not inform you. The Chinese translation is excellent. Your Chinese channel could easily be converted to Simplified Chinese to create a second Simplified Chinese Channel to reach even more people - potentially Billion of Chinese all over the world. Thank you so much for you & your team's contribution. ❤
18 million!!! No Dr. Berg....THANK YOU!!! You have such a great way of presenting all these issues in a calm, easy to understand and caring way. Thank you!!!
I appreciate your comment! Glad you enjoy the videos!
I'm so glad to hear that you have reached 18 Million subscribers - you totally deserve it!
I have just sent this video to my dad because he has restless leg syndrome. I am telling him to subscribe to you.
I have also done a couple of things that you suggested (for a couple of different conditions that I had) & they helped!
Thank you! 😊
Congratulations Dr Eric Berg🎉 You deserve it for your effortless update of man health& through your daily upload you save many people life from this confused medical world!! And I’m glad to be an one of your subscriber!!May God bless you💚
Thank you for that Dr Berg. I appreciate your videos because I live in Greece and Greece has the largest number of pharmacies per inhabitant in all of Europe. Everyone I know is being prescribed drugs in one form or another. Surgeries are always jam-packed with patients wanting repeat prescriptions. I hate taking pills so I avoid seeing doctors. I did have to see a cardiologist about occasional arrhythmias and he said I have a very good heart (the heart of someone 20 years younger than my age) and he prescribed pills which gave me terrible side effects - as did the second lot of different pills - so I stopped taking them. Since I don't eat read meat I am going to buy some Iron pills and see if they make a difference. Thanks again. (Loving the beard)
Dr. Berg, you are the best diagnostician I have ever seen ! You have helped so many people and are a good man.
Thank you very much for your comment. Appreciate it!
Five years ago my blood test showed low iron and hemoglobins. I was referred to a specialist who said I needed iron infusions.
I always check my insurance to see if I’m covered. They said they would check and call me if any problem. No calls so I went in on the appointment day. The receptionist knew nothing about my insurance. They set me down and brought in a drip which they said would take about three hours!
I asked the head nurse about my insurance.
She called the insurance department and told me they would pay one thousand dollars a session. She said you also pay a one thousand dollar deductible!!!🤦🏻♀️😧
I asked how many infusions I would need.
She said four and then a blood test to see about more!!😧 Four thousand dollars- twelve hours and four appointments!!👎🏼
I cancelled everything and am now taking iron supplements and getting blood tests.
It’s not improving but has stopped going down. MY doctor says it may be a slow process. It always is for more money 💵
I’m 77 and need good health care.
Can’t get it without BIG premiums!!
Wow... Where do you live? I mean in the US?
😢
That is 18 million people whose lives have been improved by your videos. Good for you Dr berg!
Very glad to be of help. Thank you for your continued support!
And, good for us!!
Dr Berg- your advice on vitamin B has been a huge help to me. I've run out and had to save up to get some more (given that I decided to find organic not chemically copied pills) and am still waiting for these to come from overseas. In the couple of weeks that I've not had these, the pain in my arms and legs, and especially the numbness in my feet has really become worse. Can't wait to get the new pills. My doctor's advice when I told him about these problems was to 'not worry about it.' That really helped- NOT! Two years later, he did give me a vitB shot but that didn't seem to do much for me. I do take Magnesium as well to help with the pain. I hope that won't cancel the vitB. Anyway, thanks for all your advice.
what website do you get your vitamin b from?
Thank you Dr. Berg for touching on doctors saying it’s all in our heads. Thank you for being understanding of that. You’re a rare 💎 !!!
I can’t tell you how many doctors I’ve been to in my life that have told me this, especially MD’s & of the worst to say it back…mental health professionals (that I was always referred to by the MD’s)! 😩 It’s a back n forth battle between them. A wild goose chase! I’ve had 3 different DO’s that never told me this. I’ve had a good DC as yourself that was also great & I’ve had 2 holistic specialist that never told me that & was extremely helpful as well.
Btw, I take a children’s chewable with iron daily. No other iron source has helped me. They either constipate me or make me sick. The chewable I take is loaded with C, A, mag & more. Plus it’s sugar free.
Dr Berg, you are so right and understand how a patient feels when being told 'everything is in your mind'. I've seen a doctor who instead of helping to cure me, told me to stop thinking about my sickness. Wow! I didn't know we could think up a sickness.😄
Thank you Dr. Berg. I'm honoured that you took the time to acknowledge subscribers and I'm one of them. ❤❤👍
Thanks for the support!
Shortly after I got married, I gave my sister-in-law a subscription to Science Digest. There was an article about an experiment done at a Texas university on iron levels. A large number of students were divided into 3 sections according to their blood iron levels, normal, low, and a control group. All 3 groups were put through stamina tests then the normal and low groups were given iron supplements. After a few weeks, they were put through the stamina tests again. No change for the control group or 1/2 of the normal group, as expected. The low group showed a marked improvement (expected) as did the other 1/2 of the “normal” group (totally unexpected). This article was published in the early 1970s.
Very interesting, great comment 👍 I screenshotted it
Did they mention what kind of iron form was given? Very interesting study - thank you!
Out of nowhere, I had an iron spike earlier this year. My heart would pound, and I would get out of breath just walking from room to room. While my hemoglobin was low, my iron saturation was 76. That was a bit counterintuitive. Too much iron leads to the blood carrying less oxygen. Two weeks later my iron levels were back to normal. Just more fallout from a septic infection last year.
Thank you for filling in a void that is sorely missing in today's medical and healthcare professionals/industry. Congrats on your viewership - you deserve it!
Sadly, most farmers don't pay attention to iron content... and if it is the wrong chelation, it doesn't help plants either. This is actually also a huge systemic problem in agriculture. I bet the proper chelation form would be more beneficial for human health as well.Thanks Dr Berg! Congrats on 18+ million! That's awesome!
I just want to thank you for being there with your very special way of explanation for lay people and your sympathetic attitude that comes across which makes people feel very at ease. I have now watched many of your wonderfully informative videos and thank heaven you are there. The main point of my comment, however, is the affect of the GP situation, probably across the world by now, because of how GP's, doctors and other so called medical professionals, have handled the current 'experimental drug' circumstances of the last 2-3 years. I, for one, have become very dissolutioned with the intention of doctors, who have been financially incentivised to dish out these 'vaccines', and will find it extremely hard to go to mine, at any time soon because of my lack of faith in their capability to actually work for the people who pay them i.e. the public (which makes me wonder whether they really are educated on the subject of human health) or in reality, do they actually work for the recently exposed, financially motivated pharmaceutical industry.
Congratulations on 18 million viewers you are the best doctor in the whole wide world on nutrition If every doctor was like you there wouldn’t be so many sick people in the world they would be in better health you know everything about the body inside and out we appreciate all you do God bless you and your family keep up the good work Dr. Eric berg
Congratulations Dr Berg. I started losing my hair a few years back and it puzzled me why and made me worry. As always, Dr Berg to the rescue. Thank you.
Congrats Dr Berg on the 18 million subscribers 🥳🥰 well deserved & you are a gift to humanity 💐
I appreciate your comment! Thank you for your support!
For me I see 8.77milion on his youtube ,how he have 18 million please explain to me ?
I can't tell you how many times I've gone to a doctor for help with an issue and after they did testing they told me I was perfectly fine. And they would then treat me as if I were a hypochondriac. If they only knew how long I had suffered before I finally decided to go get checked out, they would realize I'm far from a hypochondriac and that exact reaction is why I've delved into natural healing and mostly self diagnose and self treat with herbs and supplements.
One example is I've broken almost all of my toes at some point, my pinkie toes multiple times. Hairline fractures always, but still. One has been broken so many times it's now permanently deformed. My last Primary who I somewhat trusted decided to do some free x-rays, because I mentioned the one was still tender and I was unable to bend it without immense pain.
Well, the x-rays showed zero residual damage and he said it was a "perfectly healthy and normal looking toe." I still had a lingering discoloration in the skin from the last break that was extremely tender. That was the last time I went there. I haven't been back to even a wellness check since.
Dr. Berg, my family thanks you abundantly. Congratulations! You help people. One of the greatest services of this world. Sharing your post throughout. You are appreciated, Dr. Berg.
Very glad to be of help. Thank you for your continued support!
Congratulations Dr. Berg. You are a good teacher and you do your best for us. I followed your advice on Keto diet and on exercise , and I lost 18 lbs in 4 months. I used to eat sugar free cereal, No bread, little bit of rice and Pasta, low fat, and a lot of fruit. I used to walk on high intensity with lift on treadmill for an hour. I didn’t lose weight.
I am glad that I saw your video and I follow your diet. Thank you so much

Looking forward to that “polymorphism” video and genetic weaknesses. Thank you for your life saving videos Dr Berg.
Sure. Thanks for watching!
I've watched other videos on this subject but Dr. Berg is the most informative and in dept video there is....thank you for helping us Dr. Berg you are awesome....
In depth.
Dr. Berg, congratulations on your 18M subscribers … well earned. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
No problem. Thank you for all your support!
Would taking molasses or floradix be helpful?
Thank you Dr Berg! ❤ So much more information is needed for this topic, i find my whole life I've experienced very dismissive doctors, it's literally the "too hard basket" for them. I have Thalassemia Minor (yes I know this is a completely different topic, but you can imagine my level of tired), in addition to this, ever since I gave birth 8 years ago, I've been on a non stop rollercoaster of iron deficiency, ferritin deficiency (either or at any given time). I consume so much red meat, I'm surprised i haven't turned into it 😂 but apparently the absorption problem is a lot to do with my Thalassemia. Anyways, I'd love a video about Ferritin deficiency vs Iron deficiency and treatments, or even anything on Thalassemia Minor (which no doctors I've ever been to can understand). 🇦🇺
We need more doctors like you.. willing to explain issues. Unfortunately many doctors are time pressured by the establishment to see as many patients as possible in the least amount of time
Doctors have become drug dealers.
Dr .berg for cold and gas and heart burn and bloating and fatigue
Capitalism doesn't encourage quality services
Give them a drug and go to the next patient. Nevermind food intake.

I was low iron my entire life. My great grandpa died of pernicious anemia and there's a genetic issue with that side of the family metabolizing B vit and iron. My iron got a lot better when I stopped eating gluten and corn. My iron is up to 77 after years of sitting around 22, although the healthy range is 75 to 360.
As the opposite of u I have hereditary hemochromatosis. By the love of god do not consume cabbage since it’s what I use to chelate iron (no need for bloodletting anymore).
@@markk4307 ahh I love cabbage but can't eat much, upsets my stomach. I grow a few every year and store it as sauerkraut
