Good job. Keep up the good work. Would you like to share your Keto/ IF success story on my website? I'd be happy to see your story there. Feel free to upload your story here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
This man saved my life. I had debilitating neuropathy before I watched his previous video on B vitamin supplementation. It was literally lightning strikes out of no where usually in the middle of the night under my right arm and/or right foot. I was dumbfounded as to the cause. Couldn’t sleep and really bad quality of life issue. I stopped the proton pump inhibitors (prilosec) and all alcohol and immediately sought a doctor’s advice and was dreadfully low in B vitamins after a blood test. Was prescribed B vitamin shots and then started B vitamin supplementation as well. The neuropathy completely went away. I would never had done this without Dr. Berg.
As someone who has just been diagnosed with B6 toxicity from ingesting just 50mg B6 daily (half the allowed level) - it was hidden in my magnesium supplement - take care with how much B6 you take. Toxicity is just as bad as depleted levels for neuropathy and other symptoms.
@@hopeandjasonroberts6429 I was taking pyroxidene HCL, but I now know of many people who also developed toxicity from seemingly low doses of P5P, like 20mg. It's bad stuff despite what the medical fraternity say.
@@carokat1111yeah I know there’s dangers of the build up. I’ve recently started adding it in about 25 mg or the p5p and it’s helping my sleep tremendously so I think I must have been deficient. But I also don’t want to over do it.
I can always remember having weird things happening to me when I was young that no one else got. Made me think i was crazy or going insane so I would never tell anyone but as I have aged and grown more in my knowledge and as I get older. All they were was just having deficiencies, when you're a kid you knew no better. Everyday a school day, always learning.
Yes I felt the same way. My mother would right it off as me being a child. But now that I have began to study health. I can see what was going on. Hopefully this'll help you be a better parent and watch what's going on with your family. 😊
Holy Cow, the symptoms you stated at the beginning of this video are all symptoms I had as a child...around 9-11, including the depression!!! I am now 67 and trying desperately to heal my body from my prior life, and so much of the damage happened in childhood. I tried to eat healthy as an adult, but things like probiotics where not even talked about, let alone the bad advice like eating no butter, and only whole wheat. Then, poverty has its own set of issues.
There goes the B3 deficiency connection. WOW! Even more of a reason I don't consume CORN/GRITS, (Icein) processed vegetables 🥦 How to appreciate a glutathione S-transferase enzyme. Thanks a bunch, Dr. Berg!! Happy Tuesday, everyone. 💪
I did eat a lot of fish, daily with my OMAD, but I didn’t have much luck in reversing some symptoms until I started consuming Kefir! I’m really glad you pushed for that! Thank you!
Kefir is the bombdiggity, a cup or two a day every day and its basically a script of antidepressants, minus the negative evil stuff. Lmbo so not anything like antidepressants other than the name. But Kefir helps my anxiety and energy, all of that. I actually found for me, it works immediately upon consuming. Some they notice it after days, weeks, or a month or so. But a cup or two a day, sometimes even less if you want to make it last and still get the good bacteria in your system, and you are on the road to delicious creamy tangy goodness of health. lol
People need to be aware of the fact that despite B6 being water soluble, it has a long half life of 25-33 days. In other words, B6 stays in your body for months before it is eliminated. Correcting toxicity can be a tricky affair given its long half life.
unfortunately I have a high level of b6 what do I do to bring it down I don't take any supplements not sure why it's so high...i do take a vitamin D supplement do you think it caused increase in B6
@@netnanny-vq1mt Do you currently have any toxic side effects associated with high B6 such as neurological and low BP problems? Also, have you considered retaking the blood test that shows you have high B6 elsewhere?
@@davenetonlineyou seem to be educated in B6, may I ask how you know about B6 toxicity? Did this happen to you.. do you know what neurological conditions it causes?
I take your advice over whatever health care provider I see these days. My bloodwork was perfect at age 64 except for A1C. The ARPN wanted to prescribe metformin right away. Im like, NO WAY. She looked at me in shock. lol. They don't even think to tell you to change your diet, but straight to pharmaceuticals.
I’d appreciate seeing the toxicity side presented as well. No one warned me about B6 toxicity and it took less an 25% of what you’re recommending. The pain and years of healing from b6 toxicity shouldn’t be overlooked.
Unless you have lab results that indicate you have a deficiency in one specific B vitamin, take a B Complex. There's a reason B vitamins are sold as a complex formula - it's not for convenience. B vitamins REQUIRE the correct proportions to exist, relative to each other, in order to function correctly in your body. If these ratios are not respected, it create an imbalance. Imbalance creates problems - the very least of which reduces the effectiveness of the other B vitamins in your system. Unfortunately, this rather important point is never mentioned (this video didn't mention either).
I have adopted so much of your advice into my life that has changed my health for the better. Thank you for saving lives with every information you put out.
Just want to thank you for your content. I’m a nurse and my daughter was prescribed sertraline causing her to go into a mania then psychosis. She spent 40 days inpatient. While she was inpatient I watched your videos and read peer reviewed articles. The doctor put her on 800mg of Seroquel which didn’t help the psychosis. It was your suggestion of keto and NAC that helped her. We’re slowly lowering her dose and she’s finally able to go to school.
Get her ACTIVE B12 tested. Not the same as Serum B12. B12 deficiency far more likely than B6 and deficiency of b12 causes psychosis. I speak from experience.
Thank you. When she was first hospitalized they checked her serum vitamin B-1 and B-12. I’m thinking about sending her to an orthomolecular doctor to help with testing and regulating her supplements.
@@mrs.rivera3645 it's unlikely though that they tested her with the correct tests. Check her records and see if she had a Methylmalonic acid and Homocysteine test. They are the most accurate tests available. Dr's missed my deficiency for years because they didn't even know about these test's. They are pretty ill educated on it. I had to fight to get a proper test for my daughter too, I went through 2 consultants until I found a 3rd that understood B12 and proper testing to prove the deficiency.
also Trigger Finger ! A wise surgeon had me take 250mg of B6 daily for 2 weeks prior to my appointment and it cured my trigger finger (thumb, knuckle, etc.). I never got to even meet him. B6 also stopped these symptoms in my husband's hand when he started to get it, he is on a BP med.
A friend of mine was taking B6 & unknowingly a multivitamin with B6 - that overdose ‘seriously’ affected his walking. As low vitamin levels can impact us the same is true for high levels. Good to be mindful…
Dr. Berg, thank you for your daily videos. I now watch 1-3 videos every am while having my am coffee. I ordered a probiotic supplement from you for my mother who has suffered from gut issues/diarrhea for 2 years now. 🤞 that she gets some relief.
OO have you ever tried Kefir? You can make your own too it takes a day. Even make it out of storebought Kefir by mixing milk in with some of the pre bought Kefir. It is good stuff.. Tangy, delicious, calcium vitamin d etc. I am sure it would be better with actual raw unprocessed milk, or goat milk, etc. But still full of pro and at least the grassfed organic brand said pro and prebiotics. The grassfed one I tried did not work as well oddly. And was less tangy, more thick and creamy. But yea.
I was diagnosed with Pyrrole disorder due to being deficient in b6, zinc, and magnesium. So many people suffer with it and even get misdiagnosed with mood disorders or bipolar disorder.
In short, all symptoms related to amino acid & protein metabolism will show up on B6 deficiency esp inability of the body to synthesize the active bioavbl form P5P - pyridoxal 5 phosphate from pyridoxine, that in turn requires several cofactors including b2(r5p), b6 (as p5p itself!), zinc and magnesium. As most neurotransmitters, hormones, enzymes are proteins or peptides and as most structural proteins (collagen, elastin) also peptides, hence B6 is truly critical. ....esp when two critical minerals zinc and magnesium themselves require b6 for optimal absorption.
Dr. Berg your knowledge is a treasure, thank you so much 🙏! I'd like to recommend a new video if you don't mind, about "healthy kitchenware". Is non stick pan, healthy? What about "eco plastic"? Is air fryer safe? I use only pyrex when I bake, is it right? Which is the best way to keep fruits in the fridge, etc 😊.
I control my severe problem with trigger finger by taking P-5-P daily. For me, it takes between 200mg and 400mg per day. It works over the long term of a few months. No adverse reactions at all.
I have gastritis, this is why I'm always nutrient deficient causing me be sick most of the time. This is why the gut is so important, it consists of 80% of our immune system. When it's out of whack...your whole body is out of whack
I feel like this is a problem that I face. I mean, I generally eat an extremely healthy and clean diet. However, every time I eat fish (sometimes white, sometimes fatty; usually once per week), I feel like an Ancient Roman God for that night and the following day. My common meals often have a good source of Omegas, so I feel that it is the good source of B vitamins in fish that drastically enhances my mood and overall being. I also have the gut issues that you have described here. Recently, I started to drink kefir, and that has already helped tremendously with the digestion part. However, that is only providing me primarily with vitamin D and B2. Therefore, I decided to snag a B complex vitamin to provide me with B6 and B12, as that should (hopefully) complete my vitamin needs from my strictly all natural diet. Right now, I feel kinda crummy mentally... But, hopefully that changes once I try taking my B Complex vitamin tomorrow morning!
How are you doing now? How long did you take it for? Are your numbers back to normal now? How are your symptoms now?My B6 level is high now. I have taken it for a year,but I stopped couple of weeks ago.
My cat has seizure due to her mal-nutrition when she was kitten, she was a rescued kitten and I think I might get some B6 to try... Vet told me to give Omega 3 supplement which helps a bit but still she is not fully recovered. I fed her with nutrition yeast a bit, she seems doing better. But I will try to get her B6 supplement. Thank you Dr Berg!!
@@thisorthat7626 Thank you!! I will try P5P on her. I have been feeding her national yeast and it helps very slowly. I want to try natural remedy before putting her on medication... 🥰
Dr. Berg, I like to see your videos and helped a lot! It would be nice to have a book with all the problems caused by vitamins deficiency. It would be handy and also goid like a present. Thank you for all your info you are giving us❤
Tl;dr I am poor or jobless in the US and can't spend $30+ in food a day and our mass produce has no nutritive value anymore and quality meat is unaffordable so our supplement culture is both out of control and unregulated so it sort of feels like, without a safety net for the masses, some people in-the-know are trying to kill us of via malnutrition because they didn't expect a 70 year population boom. Remember, less than 10% of us are the richest nation on the planet. The rest live way below the health line of other developed nations. If you are not 'private farm-to-table rich' you will get sick sooner than later.
B6 is necessary for the uptake of all of the amino acids. Funfact: P5P turns pink if you leave it in the sun. It helps me tan much faster in high dose.
If you have not, can you make a video on Okinawa? And/or regions where people live to be 100 and still walk around and seem healthy compared to 60 year olds in USA. It may seem obvious to most of us, but still good content to spread, and information needed to some if not most. For example their diet, lifestyle, water they drink, and the mindsets of the people etc. Up to you, but I think it would be a great idea. Again I am not sure if you may have a video, or at least have brought it up in another video of yours, as you cover a lot and give a lot of knowledge, but thanks for reading Dr Berg. Also ONE more thing. Growing algae, kelp etc. Sound like a good idea? for eating of course. I think that would be great to learn to do. Anyone reading, you can grow cruciferous vegetables easy kale especially, without any storebought stuff other than seeds. Mine I have never used anything from store other than compost from storebought compostable foods... Literally you can scrape the grass away with a shovel and plant a seed of kale, it will grow. I mean trial and error, just for those who do not think they can do it, its not complicated like they make it seem. Collard greens too , easy. It is good to break up the soil a good 2 ft for roots but even then I had last year and a half no digging, still it grew, even if sideways it grew lol. Had plenty to freeze, still in bag in freezer. Was way better than storebought and cheaper.
I just realized they recently added B6 to the brand of Melatonin I take and increased the amount of Melatonin at the same time. I wonder why-especially why they added B6?🤔
@@woodchuk1 I think you may confuse serotonin or melatonin with something else. Actually I heard melatonin depletes dopamine but I’ve been taking to sleep for a very long time. It might only have this effect temporarily I’m not sure. And you may confuse B6 with HTP? I haven’t looked all this up since a long time but I feel you might be confusing two things. I think B6 might be precursor though if that’s what you mean..? But it would still take a lot of conversions and still not really be able to reach the brain sufficiently… but if that’s the case, if it’s a precursor, and that’s what you meant, then theoretically it may make sense, even though it doesn’t really cross the brain barrier. Even HTP doesn’t really work as it potentially could in theory, meaning the effect is very weak or non-existent in most cases
So much thanks to you Dr. Berg for your hard work to make this precious informations easy to understand and practical for everybody and presented in a simple way. THANK YOU! ❤
Thank you as always as an avid followers since you began. You're informative videos have helped me greatly with my 38 year battle with Multiple Sclerosis. I've seen so much important following a lot of your factual informative information. Forever grateful. 🙏🏼 Dr. Berg 😊
I'd rather get my advice from Dr. Berg than my family physician. I love you Dr. Berg...you are a Godsend...thank you for all the information you put out. Bless you!
I hate how I went and bought nutritional yeast, once, and found it was all synthetic vitamins. Like what is the point if its going to be fake vitamins ? lol. I still have it in the cabinet. Will one day Lord Willing get some real stuff off internet. Any brand recommendations?
@@Youcandoanythingyoudream Yes, I use Foods Alive nutritional yeast. It tastes great and nothing in there but the nutritional yeast. I've been eating it on organic popcorn cooked in organic coconut oil. Not keto but better than other snack items I could be eating for sure.
A Good Dr👨⚕ advised me to take Magnesium, D3, Vitamin K2-MK7 & B6-P5P(activated-pyridoxal-5-phosphate) at the same time. One important function & benefit of Vitamin D3 is that it helps the body absorb Calcium which in turn plays a part in how the body absorbs Magnesium. The levels of Vitamin B6-P5P in the body determines how much Magnesium will be absorbed into the cells. Vitamin D3 ensures calcium is absorbed easily & Vitamin K2-MK7 activates the protein, osteocalcin, which integrates Calcium into bone. Without D3 & K2, Calcium can not do its job effectively. Vitamin K2-MK7 activates matrix GLA protein (MGP) to bind excess Calcium & promote arterial flow & flexibility. ➡D3 is fat soluble so the Dr said to take all these with a meal because they'll absorb better.
Hi Dr Berg. I am from Thailand and would love to have a consultation by zoom with you if possible. I have urine test and malabsorption and yeast fungal overgrowth shown in the result. First I would like to thank you for helping me heal about the stomach acid. It was a life saving. You advice to take Betaine HCL for acid reflux and without watching your video I would never solve my health problem with stomach low acid. Thank you so much for everything you do. But I would love to have you do a consultation and reading my result. Thank you
@@adenpakaraonepat1428 No, considering the amount of people who need urgent help, he likes to help many people at the same time. Best is for everyone to learn through his videos about symptoms, tests, ect. It’s also a lot cheaper for everyone.
I would really like an explanation of the relationship between Morton's toe and the body's inability to metabolise B6. My serum B6 levels are high in blood tests, but I believe there is a disconnect between serum and tissue levels. Particularly as I was not supplementing with B6 at the time.
He’s made great videos on autism and hyperactivity. What specific question do you have that was not answered in his existing videos on these situations?
I have a lozenge I take from time to time for nausea and one of its ingredients is about 500% US RDA of Vitamin B6. It always seemed like a strange ingredient for such a lozenge.
I love all Dr. bergs videos. I have been dealing with what they want to call “long C”, me and my 3 children. I’m sure I’m deficient in so many vitamins. It’s very overwhelming to know which vitamins to take and not to take so many because they can interact. It’s hard to find a good doctor like him that can guide me through especially with my insurance. I’m planning to go back to a keto diet but knowing which vitamins to supplement with is the hard part. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Great video. Been consuming a lot of your content recently. It's added a lot of value to me informing and enriching my notes on longevity. Subscribed! Thank you sir.
Amazing. I think this issue was pivotal in my health issues that started with vegetarianism & menstruating ( about 8th grade). I believe I ate too many processed foods. Developed some depression even though I’m not the type that I would say gets depressed
My very first diet doctor that I ever went to, Dr Porter in South Jersey prescribed all of his patients to take B6 because he said it was a natural water pill or diuretic. I’ve not stopped taking it since. It helps me tremendously when I feel bloated the week before my period as well as a supplement called Aloelax.
Your book, used, is $800 in hardback, $950 in the paperback edition on Amazon. Thanks for sharing all this excellent nutritional information. It's especially important in a time when allopathic medicine is being shown to be anti-health.
Where did you get this information? What book, does he have only one or multiple? I find it hard to believe what you are saying and I guess now I have to check it out to make sure you are not a troll/hater. No offense lol. Not saying you are.
Basically all my problems could be a chain reaction to the first time when i took antibiotics. It went downhill from there and could explain almost all of it.
Dear Dr. Berg many thanks for all the help and support you give to us all as you share your great knowledge of well being with us. How about writing a book? Much appreciation and gratitude for your tierless work.
Yoooo I appreciate you in the highest form a human can appreciate someone this is gonna help so much with curing my eczema ! I believe I mentioned in one of your videos, a day or two ago, to do more videos of eczema ! I’m gaining hope and starting to not think about suicide, but now I’m thinking that there’s a way out of this and I can’t give up yet
That's a scary amount of B6. I've got toxic from 4 years of unknowingly taking 50mg daily (it was in a magnesium supplement I was taking). Obviously I don't know anything about treating the condition of your children and I'm sure you should follow the neurologist advice, but I would get as many opinions as possible about this. I've just learned today that the European allowed daily level of B6 in supplements is 25mg and they are considering reducing it to just 12mg.
@@carokat1111 There are different types of b6. Natural b6 is great at high amounts, especially with d, etc. Synthetic b6 causes issues but is still used by standard brands..
@@helenevion5948 I now know I was given synthetic B6. It's used widely and it's toxic. The European union allows only 25m, compared to the US and Australia 100gr amount, and has a proposal on the table to reduce the maximum amount to 12mg. I'm Australian and I've just written to our regulators to act now to reduce the allowable quantity. I have two years ahead of me to recover from the neuropathy it has caused. I am warning everyone because many people have little information and we have an epidemic of vitamin supplementation in society.
Dr Berg….you should put this in a big old book for our reference libraries. I hear the powers that be want to shut down the internet and where will that leave us and future generations? Thanks for all your life’s lessons!!❤️
This is all very interesting although I am aware I have very high B6 levels that have been diagnosed as my cause of Neuropathy & mine was caused purely from my diet only, no supplements taken. One diet example is Nestle Milo which I was enjoying daily, a 20g serve (whoever sticks to the serving with milo as well lol) contains 31% of a daily 1.3mg RDA (Recommended daily amount). I would hate to think what levels my Vitamin B6 would be at now if I had watched your video & started to take 200mg per day before checking my levels. I'm already in enough discomfort at the high level I'm currently at. Thanks for taking the time to read my comment.
B6 toxicity isn't due to high B6 it's more due to unbalanced ratios of b vitamins. The way to resolve high B6 is taking B1 and magnesium to utilise the B6 then eventually a good b complex to balance the ratios . The real issues are not B6 at all. It's low B1 that B6 has depleted due needing to be converted to an active form until B1 has become low and B6 piles up . Blood test also are difficult to identify b vitamins as it will say was in the blood but not what's in the cells.
@@calebss6321 I thankyou for explaining this although I'm curious as to how this would explain that since being on a 1.3mg daily restricted B6 diet in 1 month my B6 blood tests came back into the normal levels. Since my B6 have come back into the normal levels most my symptoms of Neuropathy have disappeared, and the ones that haven't have extremely lessened. All I've done for the past 8weeks is stop taking my magnesium in Effervescent Tablet form (as high levels of magnesium daily, will also interfere with the absorption and use of B6 which means more is left in the body and not excreted), and completely change my diet using a specially designed app that you log your food in & it uses food databases that have B6 listed to be able to successfully restrict my diet to 1.3mg per day. Looking forward to hearing more from you inregards to my new communication provided. With thanks.
