I had this @ age 32, dermatologist said I needed steroid shots under scalp which I refused, used omegas 3,5,6,7,9, B12 sublingual and my hair came back, I tested this with 3 other people who had the same bald spots and it worked. We all had excessive stress due to different issues, some work, divorce and family issues, but vitamins Do work
My son had this as well, was told the same for steroid shots by dermatologist. We went another route and New Zealand Cow and/or Goat Colostrum always grows back any of his spots if they even begin to develop.
When I was stationed on Adak Alaska. I only got to see 2 weeks of sunlight in 12 months. I started to get small bald spots 6 months into my deployment. The base doctors had no idea what caused my hair loss. When I left the island and started to get sunlight my hair came back.
Wanted to add, other reasons for hair loss include: Iron deficiency Magnesium deficiency Omega 3 deficiency (hair may be dry, possibly brittle) Thyroid levels that are not optimal Good luck!
I’ve had alopecia areata since aged 7. It would naturally grow back until 22 it all fell out. I’ve been alopecia universalis for 8 years. Started working with a functional medicine practitioner to get to the root cause. Made massive diet/lifestyle changes. Adding organ meats/high protein/no gluten/sugar/alcohol. Supplements such as vit d, zinc, magnesium and a load more. Feel like a completely different person. Brain fog/sugar cravings GONE. Hair is starting to grow back!! Dr Berg is on the money with this one
Did you cut out grains, legumes or dairy as well? And how long after you made the dietary changes did you start seeing regrowth? I’m trying the same thing right now so I’m very curious about the specifics of what to eat. Thanks!
I was told that I have six nodules around my thyroid. They’re non cancerous and I have been struggling with alopecia since 2016. The saddest thing is both my dermatologist and primary doctor never mention a world about these essential vitamins. They simply told me it’s genetics however I’m the only person in my family with multiple nodules and alopecia . Thank you Dr berg, you have no idea how many people are learning from your videos. May God protect you
My hair used to fall out quite rapidly (male hereditary baldness, typically starts at 20-25 in my family) but then I started taking gummi-sweet type supplements (biotin + selenium + zinc with added vitamin b,c,d) and the problem stopped within a week. Once every week I cover my hair in egg yolk and olive oil for 30 minutes and then wash it out in warm-ish water...thats it. No shampoo. No additional hairloss ever since and most grew back. 36 now and I have roughly 95% of what I had when I was 19 (pre balding) I also use bovine collagen powder every day. I'm not sure if its related but ill just throw that in there too.
Hey there Rex! I have a very similar issue. How did you took those suplements? I am lost when it comes to vitamins so if you could develop a bit more how you took them it would be amazing.
@@nearmint8350 aah I think my reply is hidden, so this is the 2nd attempt: Supplements are pretty much all the same. you just take 1 pill a day with food. (the instructions on the back usually tell you if you need more but its rare) It often says you can take them with water but they don't always digest correctly, so best with food. What you're looking for is 'biotin supplement with added selenium, zinc and vitamins b,c and d' all in one. If you can't find one with everything you can get separate biotin, zinc, vitamin b complex and vitamin d3 (or maybe some companies have combined ones so you'll need less pills) for all of them you just take 1 each a day with food but ideally not all in one meal , spread out over all your meals. The one I use right now is called vitawell beauty shine and glow which is instead a type of sweet where you just eat chew and swallow 2 a day (so you don't need food or water) It has all those vitamins in one, so its the best option. if you google that product name you should find the information you need and use it to help you find an equivalent on amazon in whatever nation you're in if they don't have that one specifically With the bovine collagen, its a powder that you add to room temperature or cold drinks. the container has a measuring scoop inside somewhere so you just fill it and pour one scoop in and mix each day. I take mine in the morning. I wouldn't get the marine collagen (bad experiences every time) but the bovine power always seems to work well for me. Ok so just to recap: I take 2 vitawell gummi supplements each morning and a scoop of collagen powder in orange juice in the morning as well. But if I had to take separate supplements, I'd take 1 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon and 1 in the evening with meals, any order.
@@rexcatston8412 Amazinng Rex! What a great reply! Just saw your answer, sorry for the delay as I do not spend much time on youtube. I just sw the vitawell gummies, you take the ones called: Vitawell Hair Lush Locks Gummies. I guess I am going to try the same ones and let you know. Ive been trying mioxidil and dutasteride as the Dr. recomended but the effects were very negative, I even felt that hair loss increased. So thanks again.
I had two crop circles on the back of my head....and one in my right eyebrow. Switched diets, started eating only meat, eggs, cheese. Within a month, my crop circles disappeared. As well - bloating, mind fog, acid reflux disappeared as well. Iodine in my water was also something I embraced.
I appreciate this video, I learned things I didn’t know. I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata at 18 months old. I’ll be 28 this year. 3 years ago I lost both eyebrows and arm hair for the first time in my life. I pray & intend to incorporate these minerals/vitamins in my daily life for full hair re-growth. Mahalo Doc! 🙏🏼
Dr. Berg thank you for mentioning the genetic component! Althugh many people srates that our genetic is not our destiny; for many , mamy people it is! Unfortunately, even with life style changes or epigenetic changes some people stil can not achive an optimal health. Our environment is so polluted that we can not avoid those genetic polymorphism to express. After more than 15 years of research (due to my heath issues and my 2 boys health issues also) I Found out the causes using our genetic reports.(I am not a doctor, i am a chemist) i do not visit a conventional doctor anymore! They thought i was a doctor for questioning and addressing facts that they supposed to know it. I am hlad to know that lotz of people are benefiting from the information you provide. The way you are including more information in your videos is most needed. I am ready for the most in depth material :) thank you again for educating people!
Another great informative video. Whenever I complain to my Dr about losing excessive amounts of hair, he increases my iodine and adds selenium for 2-3 months and problem is fixed, until the next time. I think it's stress causing my deficiencies.
I eat 2 Brazil nuts almost everyday, and I also using pure copper water bottle to get enough copper mineral 😎, that helped me to make my hair more stronger and less hair fall.
My best friend got "totalis" and lost everything. It was pretty rough for him. BUT he took it upon himself to research outside of the Dr. office, solved his problem, and now he looks like chewbacca!
Dr. Berg's video is so much clearer and better now, it seems they have changed a camera, it's beautiful, it's nice and easy to the eyes. Thank you Dr. Berg.
I would add to that: Gelatin from Seaweed (Agar Agar) or Beef Gelatin. Add it to soups, jellos, ice cream, desserts. MSM - a form of the mineral sulphur for shiny hair and fast hair growth, and it also helps build collagen for skin, strong nails, connective tissue, reduces arthritis, etc. 1/3 tsp powder 1 or 2 per day, or 1500 mg tablets 1-2 times per day. Fish Oil - 1000 mg per day or more. Shiny, strong hair.
*STRESS* definitely had an effect on me. started having patches, told everyone to take a hike got rid of them and my hair grew back. long hair to my waist for 30 yrs then my daughter said "dad, you have a bald spot" 'show me take a picture' yep bald spot, 'cut pony tail off' daughter cried now i sport a Dr Berg's hairstyle 👍
Please do a video on, type of vasculities normally only found in elderly patients but now occurring in young female patience, affecting skin, arms legs, up to waist, leaking blood vessels, accompanied by painful joints, elbows knees hips ankles etc etc swelling, inflammation, pain, affecting mobility, blood red skin
WHOA ! THIS was a powerful post !! And makes the most sense of everything I've ever heard anywhere. Especially the flouride and mercury !! Good job Dr. Berg !
I have lupus. How to manage scarring alopecia? I have red and extremely itchy scalp. I regular apply what my doctor prescribed me for scalp but it doest not give any great result. I'm 30 years old woman n lost 1third of my hair.I'm extremely worried doctor. Now a days my main prblm is my hair loss. As i lost my front line hair, It triggers my stress when i see myself in the mirror. Overall i alws try to eat healthy as much as possible. Thank you doctor. I have learned so many information about autoimmune disease through your channel.
did you know, that brazil nuts contain the highest level of radium of any food we eat? This is because the brazil nut tree has very deep roots which draw up the minerals from further down than other trees. Do not eat the whole bag or you will glow in the dark
The "radioactive glow" thing is a Hollywood gimmick. It probably originated from the clocks which had Radium or Uranium mixed with something phosphorescent, so it glowed all the time. If something is so highly radioactive that it actually glows, it will kill you within a few minutes.
I just want to mention Copper, especially in regards to consuming zinc, and good to include at a different time of day, so not to compete with zinc or iron, and cause deficiency. Copper deficiency is implicated in strokes and heart attacks, and it can be easily imagined, imo, that maybe a cause for these problems more so in winter is due to people supplementing more so with zinc over winter months to prevent flu. I do not see copper mentioned enough imo. Copper is also a catalyst for stem cell production.
I lost 1/3rd of my hair after Covid last spring and summer. My nutrition was great but COVID killed off my hair follicles. In August, I increased my protein intake w whey protein a few x a week and collagen peptides every other day and I add 5 grams of Leucine to both. I am 60 yr old woman and had always had full shiny hair but now it is regrowing and the new hair is about 3 inches long. Also a lot of toothpastes now are really bad!
Same! I had excessive hair loss after covid. My aunt who is a hair dresser confirmed that she had many clients who showed hair loss after covid. I took a hair supplement and they were back.
I had alopecia when I was a kid around the age of 9. All my hair on one side of my head fell out due to stress. The hair then grew back grey like old people thick strands … it then grew back normally ..
Same here. It happened to me around 12 (perhaps stress of moving to new state), but it was just one dollar (coin sized) patch at the top. Didn’t grow back for a year. Then it grew back gray, then back to normal. I believe if I had gotten steroid treatments, it would have taken longer to grow and the problem would have probably spread to other areas (which is what I have observed with others).
@@trueheart8739 what did you do to grow it back? I have a quarter sized spot behind my head and it hasnt shown any signs of regrowth for the past 6-8 months. It seems that its not getting bigger. Is it just a matter of time?
@@RBLXMatic I would highly recommend that you not take any treatments. Don’t use chemicals (like permanents or relaxers for now), wash hair with a mild, sulfate free shampoo. Apply aloe Vera (the goop from the real plant) to your scalp once or twice a week. There may be essential oil treatments you can use (look up on youtube), take dr berg’s advice, and eat healthy. It’ll come back! It took me a year but I have not had a problem since and I’m now in my 40’s.
I lost 3/4 of my my thyroid to a goiter in 2011. My doctor didn't offer any after treatment & I wasn't offered a treatment other than surgery. This caused me to be very health conscious since doctors don't seem to care much. They want to operate, not treat unfortunately. Now I take more than 80 supplements a day. While this sounds extreme, I have great health despite my other problems, which are not typical. I'm not here to whine, but stress is a huge problem these days and there's no help there either. So I, and others, must help ourselves and getting proper nutrition is something we can all control. Thanks for being a voice of reason in a chaotic world.
It's been 4 months since I lost my moustache hair. Dermatologist had injected corticosteroid Been using minoxidil and anti-fungal lotion Along with biotin and other multivitamin. Nothing seems to work.😢
I wonder, why did Doctor Berg ever stop using the white bord. I mean , his videos at home have definitely gotten better over time. The audio and visual quality has gotten better. But why does he not do the other thing anymore ?
Obviously he’s writing down all the info on a white board. He just doesn’t film while he’s doing that. It seems more streamlined and doesn’t waste as much time filming because he’s writing during the video.
If you get your selenium from Brazil nuts, first soak them in water overnight , drain and rinse and dry on a paper towel. Makes the nutrients more absorbable.
Dr. Berg i followed your way 2or3 weeks ago，just for curiosity.But surprisingly my acne magically goes away！（my acne situation is severe and it lasts for about 13 years）though 1or2 acnes do come and go，but my skin are much much better now.and now i never get tired during my whole workday.And i suit this diet very smoothly from day 1.THANK YOU！！！
Hi dr berg, Im 22 and have a alopecia spot at the back of my head. I first noticed it last year as a small bald spot but it grew into a quarter size over the year. I believe it stopped but theres no signs of regrowth. My diet is mostly rice, chicken, broccoli. I avoid sugary foods and only drink water. Im not sure what it is thats causing it. Ive been taking vitamin D supplements and recently ashwaghanda to see if its stress. Its embarassing to go out in public knowing that people will notice.
Might be very slow to grow back. Some peoples take a year. You can go see a dermatologist and get shots to speed it up.. Wear a hat. 😂. It’s what us who have it bad do 😂 and enjoy the gift of a usually full head of hair. I had mine since I was a baby.. lost half my hair right off the bat. Lol. I’d go see a dermatologist though to ease the mind since it’s the first time it happened
So when Covid started, I started loosing my hair. Came out in spots until it was so bad I shaved my head and started on everything Dr. Berg recommended. My hair started coming back white but only about 1/3. Then patches of the white hair started turning dark again. Now I look like a Dalmatian and a Zebra. Wild ride for sure.
Yeah. Maybe you have the genetics for it somewhere. I’ve had it since I was a baby. Covid made me lose 2/3rds my hair. I got it regrown with like 250 shots in my head. Got Covid again and lost 1/2. Go figure. 😂
Thank you very much dr. Berg, I learned a lot over the years from you which helped a lot to improve my son’s condition. He has great diet, i grow food for him and I do add minerals to the soil. He has alopecia areata 😢.
Sorry to hear about your son's condition. Sharing some videos here that may help: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=alopecia -Dr. Berg's Support Team
You mention so much info in your video’s that I am actually a bit confused as to what I should take for hair loss and alopecia. Could someone just confirm the 3 that I should take please.
The best trace minerals for alopecia: 1. Iodine (200 mcg per day) The best sources: • Seafood • Sea salt • Sea kelp or seaweed 2. Zinc (50 mg per day) The best sources: • Meat • Fish • Seafood • Beef liver • Eggs 3.

@@Drberg is there anyother significant benefits from sea kelp besides the iodine? (Like if someone is taking iodine, are there any other reasons to keep up the sea kelp?
I just recently watched the hair growth video regarding gelatin. What would you say is the best way to consume the gelatin for the quickest & most effective results ? Pouring the power in a drink ? Or making jello w/ the gelatin ?? Thanks so much in advance!
Thank you Dr. Berg. I shared one of your videos with my mom regarding her dizzy spells and the vitamins you suggested worked immediately! I’m now requesting your advice on bug repellent. I live in Florida - enough said - and don’t want to use OFF spray. Please help !
I've had alopecia universalis since my early 30's , I am now 59yrs old . At this stage in my life I would be TOTALLY overjoyed if just my eyelashes and eyebrows would grow back. I'm tired of small partials always getting into my eyes. As far as hair anywhere else, I don't need it. I passed on all of the meds and even the new Janx med that's out now (side affects). I will give these minerals a run and see what happens.
Question - i have dr bergs trace minerals and i just recently purchased wheat grass powder , should i omly take one or the other ? Wheat grass tastes great especially with dr bergs electrolytes 😊
Hello. I'm from Russia. I have a question why you don't have any videos on buckwheat. You often talk about the dangers of gluten, but it is not in buckwheat. It is an excellent substitute for wheat and wheat flour. I would like to know your opinion.
Awesome video, I have a relative who has that problem, I’ll be sure to pass this along to her, Especially since she’s dealing with this issue, And not only am I tired of listening to all of her complaints about her c Condition and her dealings with it at work, Geez,
Re: Are you a senior with "silver" dental fillings? They are probably leaking mercury, so like me you decide to have them removed. The process releases mercury into your system. Dr. Berg pointed out the role of excess mercury in autoimmune response. Research it. I got very sick after have just one filling removed.
What about seasonal allergies, for people with severe allergies?????? Do you read the comments??? This season has been brutal for people with allergies in the northeast region of the country, absolutely brutal
Had this @ 19 decades ago due 2 stress unbeknownst 2 me. Took the shots in the scalp, hair came back a dif texture, not noticeable 2 anyone but me. This info was not known then, glad it is now.
During the time, I came down with COVID I started a regimen of beets, cucumber, apples, banana, with a mix of steamed vegetables adding ZINC, VIT D, C, K2 along with a multivitamin in my nutribullet! I AM A BY PRODUCT OF GREAT RESULTS OH MORINGA OLEFA,TOO I DONT HAVE THOSE SYMPTOMS OF FYBROMYALGIA, NEUROPATHIC SENSATIONS ALL OVER MY BODY I feel healthier meaning ALL BLOOD RESULTS CAME OUT SUPERB THANK YOU DR BERG FOR YOUR CRUCIAL INFORMATION WALKING AND GETTING SUN AT LEAST 15 minutes a day, as well has me more optimistic,too ❤ MY fine hair is looking fuller and I love the texture!

Try to avoid omega 6 in large amounts, it's actually really bad for you.

My son had this as well, was told the same for steroid shots by dermatologist. We went another route and New Zealand Cow and/or Goat Colostrum always grows back any of his spots if they even begin to develop.
I had restless leg in one week of magnesium it was gone.
Take ashwaghanda to reduce cortisol(stress)

WHOA ! THIS was a powerful post !! And makes the most sense of everything I've ever heard anywhere. Especially the flouride and mercury !! Good job Dr. Berg !
Thank you doc for sharing really important information about alopecia I really appreciate it
Dr. Berg is a wealth of knowledge and I am so glad he shares it with us.
Thank you very much for your message. Appreciate it!
I have lupus. How to manage scarring alopecia? I have red and extremely itchy scalp. I regular apply what my doctor prescribed me for scalp but it doest not give any great result. I'm 30 years old woman n lost 1third of my hair.I'm extremely worried doctor. Now a days my main prblm is my hair loss. As i lost my front line hair, It triggers my stress when i see myself in the mirror. Overall i alws try to eat healthy as much as possible. Thank you doctor. I have learned so many information about autoimmune disease through your channel.
he has several videos on lupus search em up on youtube, good luck🐱👍🏿
@@fidelcatsro6948 thank you.. Sending my love dear
Thankyou Dr. Berg. Your knowledge and guidance is priceless.
did you know, that brazil nuts contain the highest level of radium of any food we eat? This is because the brazil nut tree has very deep roots which draw up the minerals from further down than other trees. Do not eat the whole bag or you will glow in the dark
The "radioactive glow" thing is a Hollywood gimmick. It probably originated from the clocks which had Radium or Uranium mixed with something phosphorescent, so it glowed all the time.
If something is so highly radioactive that it actually glows, it will kill you within a few minutes.
Yes i did I know to eat a few, a few times per week
You can also give yourself selenium poisoning if you're not careful. Best to talk to your doctor before going crazy on anything.
@@Irishcream216 Agreed! Also iodine overload can cause thyroid gland inflammation and thyroid cancer 😬
@@sensimania it’s all a slippery slope
I use B- Complex from Shaklee. It has 8 B vitamins in it. Look it up, you’ll like it.
Shacklees are phenomenal!
I just want to mention Copper, especially in regards to consuming zinc, and good to include at a different time of day, so not to compete with zinc or iron, and cause deficiency.
Copper deficiency is implicated in strokes and heart attacks, and it can be easily imagined, imo, that maybe a cause for these problems more so in winter is due to people supplementing more so with zinc over winter months to prevent flu. I do not see copper mentioned enough imo. Copper is also a catalyst for stem cell production.
I lost 1/3rd of my hair after Covid last spring and summer. My nutrition was great but COVID killed off my hair follicles. In August, I increased my protein intake w whey protein a few x a week and collagen peptides every other day and I add 5 grams of Leucine to both. I am 60 yr old woman and had always had full shiny hair but now it is regrowing and the new hair is about 3 inches long. Also a lot of toothpastes now are really bad!
My son had hair thinning a lot after covid I’m currently giving him all these nutrients.
Same! I had excessive hair loss after covid. My aunt who is a hair dresser confirmed that she had many clients who showed hair loss after covid. I took a hair supplement and they were back.
If you don't sharing what kind of hair vitamins you take i tried a lot of it didn't help with my covid hair loss yet
Good morning Dr Berg.Such a wonderful topic , it's a topic i am really need.Thank you so much and so much Doctor Berg.❤🙏🌹🙏
Desr Dr. Berg
Does this only apply to Alopecia or also to hair loss in old age?
I had alopecia when I was a kid around the age of 9. All my hair on one side of my head fell out due to stress. The hair then grew back grey like old people thick strands … it then grew back normally ..
Same here. It happened to me around 12 (perhaps stress of moving to new state), but it was just one dollar (coin sized) patch at the top. Didn’t grow back for a year. Then it grew back gray, then back to normal. I believe if I had gotten steroid treatments, it would have taken longer to grow and the problem would have probably spread to other areas (which is what I have observed with others).
Yes mine was a bald patch for around the same time too😢and like yourself I didn’t take any treatments.
@@trueheart8739 what did you do to grow it back? I have a quarter sized spot behind my head and it hasnt shown any signs of regrowth for the past 6-8 months. It seems that its not getting bigger. Is it just a matter of time?
@@RBLXMatic I would highly recommend that you not take any treatments. Don’t use chemicals (like permanents or relaxers for now), wash hair with a mild, sulfate free shampoo. Apply aloe Vera (the goop from the real plant) to your scalp once or twice a week. There may be essential oil treatments you can use (look up on youtube), take dr berg’s advice, and eat healthy. It’ll come back! It took me a year but I have not had a problem since and I’m now in my 40’s.
Dr Berg is my Idol in medical education, he is the best he has helped all my family to improve our health. ❤
Excellent as always Dr Berg! My cousin was asking about this very subject last week... Glad to have more info to share with her!
So many vitamins, what a good all in one vitamin to take a day?
I lost 3/4 of my my thyroid to a goiter in 2011. My doctor didn't offer any after treatment & I wasn't offered a treatment other than surgery. This caused me to be very health conscious since doctors don't seem to care much. They want to operate, not treat unfortunately. Now I take more than 80 supplements a day. While this sounds extreme, I have great health despite my other problems, which are not typical. I'm not here to whine, but stress is a huge problem these days and there's no help there either. So I, and others, must help ourselves and getting proper nutrition is something we can all control. Thanks for being a voice of reason in a chaotic world.
Thank you doctor. Been taking these for over a year. Didnt help me though.
It's been 4 months since I lost my moustache hair. Dermatologist had injected corticosteroid
Been using minoxidil and anti-fungal lotion
Along with biotin and other multivitamin. Nothing seems to work.😢
So can taking selenium reverse grey hair.
Would be better if photo used of BEFORE AFTER wasn’t photoshopped - doesn’t help to build credibility. Information you give in your channel is great.
I wonder, why did Doctor Berg ever stop using the white bord. I mean , his videos at home have definitely gotten better over time. The audio and visual quality has gotten better. But why does he not do the other thing anymore ?
Obviously he’s writing down all the info on a white board. He just doesn’t film while he’s doing that. It seems more streamlined and doesn’t waste as much time filming because he’s writing during the video.
Thank you Dr. Berg my son has this strange condition. You are amazing!
Most welcome! Be well!

@HeleneNutrientsRich thank you. Happy 4th to you and yours. Happy Birthday to America!🤟🇱🇷
If you get your selenium from Brazil nuts, first soak them in water overnight , drain and rinse and dry on a paper towel. Makes the nutrients more absorbable.
Thankfully don't have it, yet thank you for the info Dr Berg 🌸
Wow I have this and MS I'll figure out why one day. Thank you for this posting
Awesome video!
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Peace love and blessings 🙏
Dr. Berg i followed your way 2or3 weeks ago，just for curiosity.But surprisingly my acne magically goes away！（my acne situation is severe and it lasts for about 13 years）though 1or2 acnes do come and go，but my skin are much much better now.and now i never get tired during my whole workday.And i suit this diet very smoothly from

Very glad to be of help.
Thank you for this valuable information. I’m hoping someday you’ll touch on the subject of Lichen Planopilaris frontal fibrosis alopecia.
Hi! Have you found any othr information on frontal fibrosing alopecia?
Hi dr berg, Im 22 and have a alopecia spot at the back of my head. I first noticed it last year as a small bald spot but it grew into a quarter size over the year. I believe it stopped but theres no signs of regrowth. My diet is mostly rice, chicken, broccoli. I avoid sugary foods and only drink water. Im not sure what it is thats causing it. Ive been taking vitamin D supplements and recently ashwaghanda to see if its stress. Its embarassing to go out in public knowing that people will notice.
Might be very slow to grow back. Some peoples take a year. You can go see a dermatologist and get shots to speed it up..
Wear a hat. 😂. It’s what us who have it bad do 😂 and enjoy the gift of a usually full head of hair.
I had mine since I was a baby.. lost half my hair right off the bat. Lol.
I’d go see a dermatologist though to ease the mind since it’s the first time it happened
Hi I would like to have info about Chase Tree Berry . Is it good for women going to menopause ?
Hi there. Thank you for the video suggestion.
Iv been eating pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds, will they help in hair loss?
I reversed alopecia by massaging
crushed onions/garlic into my scalp
how often did you use it?
@@jenniferslambert4642
intensely morning and evening
I shan't lie it stunk but it worked 👍
So when Covid started, I started loosing my hair. Came out in spots until it was so bad I shaved my head and started on everything Dr. Berg recommended. My hair started coming back white but only about 1/3. Then patches of the white hair started turning dark again. Now I look like a Dalmatian and a Zebra. Wild ride for sure.
Yeah. Maybe you have the genetics for it somewhere. I’ve had it since I was a baby. Covid made me lose 2/3rds my hair. I got it regrown with like 250 shots in my head. Got Covid again and lost 1/2. Go figure. 😂
Thank you very much dr. Berg, I learned a lot over the years from you which helped a lot to improve my son’s condition. He has great diet, i grow food for him and I do add minerals to the soil. He has alopecia areata 😢.

You mention so much info in your video’s that I am actually a bit confused as to what I should take for hair loss and alopecia. Could someone just confirm the 3 that I should take please.
The best trace minerals for alopecia:
1. Iodine (200 mcg per day)
The best sources:
• Seafood
• Sea salt
• Sea kelp or seaweed
2. Zinc (50 mg per day)
The best sources:
• Meat
• Fish
• Seafood
• Beef liver
• Eggs
3. Selenium (50 to 200 mcg per day)
The best source:
• Brazil nuts (one per day)
Other important nutrients for hair loss:
• Iron
• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin D
• Biotin
• Folate
@@Drberg is there anyother significant benefits from sea kelp besides the iodine? (Like if someone is taking iodine, are there any other reasons to keep up the sea kelp?
Thank you so much 👍
Would I be able to take all these minerals at once? With your dosage recommendations of course.
I just recently watched the hair growth video regarding gelatin. What would you say is the best way to consume the gelatin for the quickest & most effective results ? Pouring the power in a drink ? Or making jello w/ the gelatin ?? Thanks so much in advance!
We put it in coffee, ener-c drinks. Stir mightily!
@@sharonpoitra193 okay thank you
My child, 11 yrs old got this sudden hair loss in patches.. kindly suggest remedies for this.. Thank you Dr..
Hey doc, thanks for the video. I have hair loss on my legs, is this a form of alopecia? Any recommendations would be great, my dr had no clue.
Poor Circulation can cause hair loss.
Thank you Dr. Berg. I shared one of your videos with my mom regarding her dizzy spells and the vitamins you suggested worked immediately! I’m now requesting your advice on bug repellent. I live in Florida - enough said - and don’t want to use OFF spray. Please help !
Put up bat houses, and purple Martin bird houses. They eat all annoying insects, readily.
good live camera resolution and coloring
Very useful video..Thanks Doctor.
I've had alopecia universalis since my early 30's , I am now 59yrs old . At this stage in my life I would be TOTALLY overjoyed if just my eyelashes and eyebrows would grow back. I'm tired of small partials always getting into my eyes. As far as hair anywhere else, I don't need it. I passed on all of the meds and even the new Janx med that's out now (side affects). I will give these minerals a run and see what happens.

Re: Are you a senior with "silver" dental fillings? They are probably leaking mercury, so like me you decide to have them removed. The process releases mercury into your system. Dr. Berg pointed out the role of excess mercury in autoimmune response. Research it. I got very sick after have just one filling removed.

Are u allergic to seaweed. Make sure to only eat Atlantic Ocean
