I’m going to show you a simple home test you can do to help determine if you have a calcium deficiency.
Calcium is a mineral we need for our muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and the nervous system.
The most common cause of calcium deficiency is the body not absorbing calcium or utilizing it properly.
Symptoms of calcium deficiency:
• Anxiety
• Irritability
• Insomnia
• Muscle tension
• Spasms or cramps
• Low back pain
• Constipation
• High blood pressure
• Heart palpitations
• Frequent nose bleeds
• Soft fingernails
• Frequent cold sores
• Frequent sunburns (with limited sun exposure)
• Hives
• Frequent fevers
• Frequent hoarseness
• Chronic coughing
• Difficulty falling asleep
Many things can lower your absorption of calcium, including:
• Low vitamin D
• Low magnesium
• Low levels of hydrochloric acid in the stomach
• A deficiency of essential fatty acids
• Low estrogen
• Excessively alkaline blood
• Gut inflammation
• Hypothyroidism
• Low calcitonin
The best test for calcium deficiency (don’t do this test if you have peripheral vascular disease):
1. Wrap a standard blood pressure cuff around your calf
2. Pump it up and record the number showing when you start feeling a cramp, then stop and deflate
3. If the number is:
• 200 or less-suspect a calcium deficiency
• 200 to 220-you have sufficient calcium levels
• 220 to 240-you have optimal calcium levels
Don’t go above 240

Thanks for watching! Try this simple home test for calcium deficiency. I’ll see you in the next video.
Well. I watched this video, then used the blood pressure cuff on my calf and decided i must be severely calcium deficient (even though i eat plenty of food containing calcium). So i added calcium supplements on top of my regular diet. Then i watched Dr Berg's 'serious excess calcium side effects' video and decided i must be having 'too much' calcium. I've also watched Dr Berg's 'discovering the surprising benefits of iodine' and decided i needed more iodine in my diet (took kelp tabs). Then i watched Dr Berg's '#1 sign of iodine overload' and decided i was having way too much iodine in my diet (even though in the area i live, the tap water has been full of fluoride since 1964). This is how post menopausal women spend their lives, instead of just eating what they enjoy.
I did kinda the same, watched his video on ED and got an implant LOL, things you do when ya get OLD ):-%

NOT all but got many of those
Calcium is a mineral most often associated with healthy bones and teeth, although it also plays an important role in blood clotting, helping muscles to contract, and regulating normal heart rhythms and nerve functions👍
But. Whats with calcium in wrong places and too high bq of D vitamaines. ?? I know we need K2mk7 but anyway.
Intake of calcium is death.

Thyroid, menopausal, trouble sleeping, muscle cramps......... wow nailed it.
Thx Doc... Your well rounded information is truly needed, outside of just using meds. You are the MAN!!! People ask me how do you know, this stuff. I tell them about you, but people think the internet, isn't good for quality knowledge. I'm a solid FAN.!!!
You are a blessing, an educator free of cost.
Very thorough advice...self-centered medical diagnosis helps with this huge issue of anomalies from calcium deficiency...thanks Dr B!
One of the very informative and scientific video I have seen on calcium deficiency. Thank you!!!
Please make more such videos 🙏🏼
Very interesting about the calcium/fever /sunburn connection !! Also on how dependent all the body's elements are dependent on each other. Thank you!
Thanks a lot Dr or if I can say sir ..... U help me a lot and I spread your sayings In my family...
I am preparing to become a surgeon....I hope one day I will...
I highly appreciated your efforts to teach us how to be healthy by the outstanding videos you used to Post. Your fan from Iraq.
Have a blessed Easter Sunday Dr. Berg and everyone all over the world ✝️🌎💜
Thank you and same to you
Thank you, you helped more in this video than my drs office! Appreciate your valuable channel!
Love your videos Doc! Quick question: Are you a fan of the Calcium research presented by Bob Barefoot? He has several books such as The Calcium Factor and I’ve had great results with his approach. It also seems to complement your viewpoint on health. Thanks, and keep these coming!
This info is a JEWEL 💎💎!! Thank you very much 🌻
Passed the check list. I figured I was good. Plenty of calcium, Magnesium, D3 and K2. Of course Cod oil for my Omega 3. Thanks Doc!
Good Morning , Dr.Berg 🌞
Thank you so much for sharing this Ecxllenct information with us , Have a wonderful day !
❤ 4 / 17 / 2022 ❤
It seems like Dr. Berg is the first real doctor I’ve ever seen 🙏
@@chidoziejohnson4705 i help you dear i im medical student you have cal difficiency ?
Absolutely 👍👍 0:18
I can give a list of real doctors.
Dr. Paul Mason, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Ken Berry, Prof' Bart Kay, Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Giorgia Ede and I can keep going.. With all do respect to Dr. Berg, there's a world of knowledge out there.
Good luck and enjoy!
Thank you so much for all of the information that your sharing on your TH-cam Channel . I've learned so much from your Channel. I'm always taking notes whenever I'm watching your videos.
Excellent explanation! I am always surprised how good certain aspects have evolved compared to 40 years ago, when I learned the materia.
Thanks DOC for reminding me of the connection of D and calcium !
Hello doctor thank u for all the wonderful genuine tips u give us..
Happy blessed Easter...
Let our Lord shower all HIS wonderful blessings on you & your family.... 🙏
Thank you Thank you Thank you. @DrBerg . Last couple of days, I have been thinking of researching into Ca deficiency. You just compiled it all and served it on a platter. God bless you.
Thank God for you. You really care about helping people get well.
Never knew cough can be a symptom.. Thanks
I would also like to see the whiteboard videos Dr Berg. Thank you so much for educating us. You are the reason for my good health.
Fascinating. I assumed Calcium and Sodium are easy and common to obtain but Potassium and Magnesium are the two difficult minerals.
A good magnesium supplement is easy to come by. I take magnesium glycinate (sp?) powder every other day mixed in a glass of water). Potassium is another story. We need SO much of it every day but fortunately it's in almost every non-processed food we eat. The fat soluble vitamins are two-factor in proper absorption, so don't leave out DEA and K.
avocadoes
some sources of potassium = 2 small broccoli +- 820mg, 2 small cauliflower +-730mg, 1 cup coconut water +-600mg, half avocado at +-533mg, 2 medium red bell peppers +-378mg, 6 small oyster mushroom +-378mg, 1 small 6'' banana +-290mg, 1 kiwi 2'' +-215mg, 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds +-116mg & 2 dried figs +-114mg = total at 4316mg potassium & combined all of this, can reached 450mg magnesium too. where i get the data? cronometer. maybe some unaccurate too, but u all got the ideas where to get it...
Potassium : try cream of tartar. Half teaspoon morning and evening. Magnesium : my preference goes to Natural Calm supplement.
Calcium us a natural antihistamine as well. Important for this allergy season
Interesting......thank you.
Great content. Informative. Thank you Dr Berg for sharing this.
I am really missing your whiteboard videos, Dr. Berg. I love to take screenshots of the board so I can have a record of your lesson of the day. I find your new videos to be a little depressing with the gloomy background. I still like you, though!
Yes I like the whiteboard too as I am a visual learner.
I TOTALLY AGREE... 🙁 I really miss the old videos style. This ones are so dark and make him look kind of older... maybe a mix of the new and the old style would be great, cause this new ones are very organized.
I also take the screenshots too on his whiteboard videos 😊
Maybe that's why he stopped making them..
I thought I was the only one who took screen shots of his white boards 😄 Dr. Berg is amazing 💕
I’m on medication to lower my extrogen as the bi-lateral breast cancer I was diagnosed with, is estrogen receptive and was consequently ‘feeding’ the cancer. I now take Anastrozole 1mg daily.
All these things should be borne in mind.
This man actually changed my life forever❤️
same 😊
How so? Just wondering, I feel the same!
Same
How?
Mine too. This is the first time in my life where I have felt great every single day. Not only do I feel good, but my skin, nails, and hair look amazing. I didn't know it was possible, ever.
Man I love this channel 💟💟... Doctor berg I can't thank you enough.
You are a really awesome guy Dr. Berg.
Your videos are greatly appreciated. God bless.
Dear Dr. Berg, I have frequently heard and read from some nutrition experts and other researchers that Acidic blood not only inhibits the calcium absorption but takes it from the bones and results in osteoporosis ! Whould you please explain your opinion in more details?
Dr Berg this was amazing 🤩
I just broke a bone in my foot.. I’m 65yr old .. do you think my podiatrist taught me anything like this? I don’t blame him I think it maybe a waste of their time since not many can hear alternative healing
Thank you Dr. Berg for such valuable information
Dr. Berg can you please make a video on enlarged open pores on face..? Their causes and treatment.. Home remedy please 🙏🙏🙏
I’m sure he did a few weeks ago 🤔 Check his recent videos.
I thought that was genetic. I think I remember seeing a video the other day about it, though.
I use a mixture of 1/4 tsp diatomaceous earth and 1 tsp charcoal blended with water for dairy induced acne. Best acne treatment ever. It could work here. Worth a try.
I've started supplementing with vitamin A (cod liver oil softgels), one a day for the past month or so. I've always had large pores (from oily skin since puberty) and my pores appear smaller. Also the general redness of my face, spots and acne are reduced. Brand - Pure Encapsulations vitamin A 3,000 mcg/10,000 IU each softgel. I take it with some food that has fat in it, since vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin. If you like liver (I've never tried it and am a picky eater), liver is high in vitamin A.
I've also "oil cleansed" a few times, which seemed to help clogs come out of the pores. It's a pretty gentle way to cleanse. I don't do it exactly as shown in videos, though. I think my skin may be drier than it used to be because I'm perimenopausal, so hormone changes. I apply the kokum butter (chose it for non-comedogenic and it doesn't have much of a smell), massage it in for some minutes, then wipe off the excess with my fingers (wiping fingers on paper towel). I don't wipe my face with a towel or wash with a cleanser after (this is what most videos say to do). I don't wash because I want the moisturizing effect. I haven't oil cleansed on a regular basis, but after I do it, my skin is softer and I do feel little bumps of stuff that has come out of the pores and/or old dead skin.
Another option I've considered is using grassfed ghee (which should be high in vitamin A) to oil cleanse or just apply to my face as a moisturizer. Direct application of vitamin A and healthier option than some kind of prescription drug. I have some old ghee that's rancid I think from the smell of it. Don't want to try that. If I decide to go ahead with it, I'll buy fresh ghee.
Can you do a video on Behcet's syndrome/disease ( autoimmune condition) in the US ? Appreciate your videos.
Happy Easter. You have made enormous impact on my life and my sister's life. So glad I found you. Your information has kept me from getting diabetes like the rest of my family. Bless you.
Same here.. pretty sure I was pre-diabetic with insulin resistance.
Same here.
I'm very surprised that no mention was made of vitamin K2. I started taking 300mcg (MK7) in divided doses every day and a lot of these symptoms have improved. I don't get cramps in my hands like I used to (where my hands and fingers lock up) and the only thing I changed was the amount of K2 I was taking. I take a good magnesium supplement as well and I get 5,000+ IUs of vitamin D3 every day. The only thing i really changed was the amount of K2 (MK7) i was taking - from 100 mcg to 300 in divided doses (100 in the morning and 200 more in the evening with my OMAD meal). I use the NOW Foods brand of vitamin K2 (derived from nattokinase).
Thanks
Dr.Berg already mentioned K2 in many of his other videos.
I’m glad I read your comment…I take the same vitamins but will try it how you are doing it. I get very bad hand cramps and other muscle cramps..I’ve tried just about everything so I’ll adjust my intake and see how it goes!
Fantastic insight !
Thank you!
Very odd indeed. Berg has mentioned it many times before too, not sure why he wouldn’t include it in the actual calcium video.
They are rich in Vitamin A, B, C and B2. Curry leaves are also said to be good sources of iron and calcium. Because of this reason, curry leaves are used as part of folklore medicine to treat calcium deficiency and several other conditions.
Never knew curry leaves is good source of iron
Curry leaves are amazing you can have it in smoothie, sauce and cooked in mix vegetables
Dr Berg your videos are really helpful. May I ask if smoked salmon is healthy? Cuz I heard that smoked food may be carcinogenic
I have most of these symptoms and recent labs show low vitamin D. Hoping that taking a supplement (at doctor's recommendation) will resolve these symptoms.
How do we test the PH of our stomach? A blood test or another type of test? Thank you Dr.Berg.
Happy Easter! I love your videos esp your Friday live! ❤️
Dr. Berg, great informative video as always. Thank you ❤️. Please do videos about all these information for kids under 16 or do mention how the same can be done to check for kids under 16. If kids can watch those videos themselves, they may start taking care about their health at very young age.
Yes! Have you checked his existing videos on children nutrition?
Absolutely right diagnosis, Calcium is most important,
Dr berg can you please talk about feeling pain and its importance and those who don't care about it and ignore it. And you changed many of my medical concepts thank you for that and I wish you luck✨
He may have answered this in some of his videos on pain.
The information is great as always but that beard rocks Dr Berg!
just bought krill oil yesterday after many years hiatus. hopeful it will help!! happy Easter!!!
Thanks Doc! 🤗
Thank you! Dr.Berg Happy Easter to you and ur Family👍👍🙋🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤🙏💐🕊🎊
Dr.Berg, please explain which number needs to be above 200. Do you combine both numbers or just considering systolic one. Thank you in advance!
Dr.. Will taking sea kelp & benfotiamine together make urine smell so strong?
Thx…
This brilliant identified my exact problem
Thank you Fidel !
Dr Berg would you please make a video on eye cleaning
Just thank you Dr you change my health to much better
Your absolutely wonderful doctor happy to fallow your Channel
Good evening Dr nice thank you😍
This method was very easy and useful. Thank you for this incredible daily education.
I was low in Vit D and Calcium. I could not concentrate well for a couple of years. I could tell I had trouble. I could have easily obtained narcotics for ADD like many others I know take it. I don’t care for narcotics.
Fortunately, my low D and CA was discovered. Once level, my concentration ability returned and memory improved, leg spasms went away.
Good to know, I always forget to take vitamin D in the evening and I live in a place with not much sunshine.
Wow amazing. Thanks for sharing!
How long did it take to level?
@@thebentzenable after increasing D to 5000 a day because I was still low, it took a couple of months.
@@cindylandry7856 🙏 thank you, I will try that too. I have ADHD and RLS , but I don't take medication anymore.
Thanks dr for the great video ❤❤
I was craping my leg since I was teenager , I woke midnight cramping and crying most very often , its serious pain for over 50 years suffering . A few Month ago I start taking lots vitamins as Dr Berg recommended , it’s lots of helping , thanks and appreciate,
Happy Easter to you and your family Dr. Berg!
He doesn't celebrate Easter.
@@kenk7451 why not?
@@rogerstephen4182 Because he isn't Christian.
@@kenk7451 How did you find that out?
@@qwerty1234pr Don't waste my time. You figure it out.
Great and informative video Dr. Berg, been watching your videos everytime. i had hives symptom that cause itchy. took generic claritin for three weeks straight, but after stopped taking it, itchy came back. Definitely will try Calcium.
Yes. He gave us other tips to help with itchy skin. Usually replacing carbs calories with healthy fats and proteins do the trick.
Which calcium supplement are we to take? Not calcium carbonate?
Thank You!!!!
I have most of the symptoms 😭 but i have a *clueless and helpless Doctor* ThQ Dr Berg your my lifesaver 🥰 Happy Easter🐇🐣 to you and your followers!!!
ThQ everyone for your lovely 💬 and suggestion🥰 btw who’s Dr Wilson?? Sorry I never heard this name before☹️
Dr berg when is the best time for taking calcium
Hello dr,your doing a great job thank you so much I'm now watching your videos all day so educational and helpful, can you please talk about varicose vein and pool blood sections.thank you in advance.
I know he made at least one video about varicose veins. I would use homemade sauerkraut, learn to make it at home. Stay away from the usual vitamin c supplement.
Also his videos on healthy keto and intermittent fasting will help as well.
Thank you Dr. Berg for this video, so important know that information!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words.
Thank you doc, very interesting information!
Most welcome!
Mine was 142/96 75 ❤️ I already know that I am deficienct in calcium. This blood pressure test confirms it. Thanks
You have given me so much hope from listening to your awesome videos on various Health topics. This one is a GEM. Thank you and have a Blessed Easter.
Hi Doctor which reading am i looking for is it the top or bottom reading
Big fan Dr.
@Dr. Eric Berg DC thank you for all your information. I just went to the fish market yesterday 4/16/22 & got some salmon. I have been getting Vitamin D injections & March 2022, I got my first IV Hydration Cleanse. On 4/15/22 I got a hot sauna wrap. Immediately after my appointment , I had to urinate. Once I did, I immediately could smell the toxins release from my body. That day, I noticed the swelling in my feet going down. On 4/16/22, I got my 2nd Vitamin D injection. I'm glad I asked a lit of questions because he told me what cocktail to get next time based on all my issues & how often I need to be getting the Vitamin D injections for the next 3 months. Where I messed up, I ate some gluten free tortillas & it immediately gave me back pain & feeling weird. I had not eaten that whole day. That day I started feeling better. Now I know one if the culprits to my inflammation.
Congratulations on getting over 7 million subscribers! 🎉🎊
Can u pls upload diet chart for hypothyroid....
Hi everyone can someone tell me how long does sitting in the sun bathing on 19c in the UK take to be sufficient to daily vitamin D and how long does that stay stored in the body or can drBreg answer please thanks in advance x
If in an aging body the acid is diminished- is the intrinsic factor also in trouble? If so how does one increase intrinsic factor?
Thank you✨😌
Thank you 🙏
Very informative. My favorite Dr.
I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you so much

@@Drberg hello sir. Can you please make a video on Vit D , combined with vitamin k plus the added dose of magnesium and potassium and their respective ratios.
You have made lot of videos regarding this but I couldn't find all these things in one
I would really appreciate if you could throw some light on how n what doses of vit A can prevent vit d toxicity and also the ratio of magnesium and potassium when taking high doses of vit d ( 120000 iu everyday ).

I hope you answer me plz 🙏
I've heard that crushed eggshells are a good source of calcium . Can I really eat eggshells to get calcium ? is that safe for eating
Is it true that sticky rice is healthier because of the release of starch during the steaming process?
Thank you Doctor 🙏
Most welcome!
Thank you Dr. Berg. I love your channel. 🙏⚘
Thank you!
Can we perform this test on kids too ? What number recorded would be good level for them ?
Dr.Berg has videos on many topics but I did not find a video about how to make your home smell good or what to use to make your home smell good. I think it is an important topic because those things that people use may harm their health and I wonder what to use to make the home smell good.
Cleaning it is one way. Making herbal tea can be a nice one. I often make lemon balm tea or mint tea.
Thank you Dr Berg, So what does the role of Vitamin K2 play in abosorbing calcium, I heard other doctor mentioned vitamin k2 in absorbing calcium. thank you!!
It's key. He answers this in a few videos on k2, vitamin D and calcium.
Happy Easter dr
Important information 🙏💜🙏
Superb infor Doc. 👍👍
