Same. I started down the road with insulin resistance. I've been doing keto now for two years and got back to the gym. Lost 30 lbs, the neuropathy, sleep apnea and all the other nasty side effects that came with eating refined carbs and junk.
@@cheesecakefan4880Keep buying him bacon. Seriously. The precooked kind. Leave healthy snacks at their house like that. Bring over a store-bought bag of boiled eggs and 'accidentally' leave it in their fridge. Don't hit them over the head with it, just make sure his cravings have an appropriate target. Just normalize it in their house. Bring a pot roast, etc. You get the idea. You gotta get them out of the mindset that they shouldn't have that stuff, that its a luxury, etc. They're not fighting you because you're not a doctor, they're fighting you because you're not an advertiser.
Dr Berg notes Diabetic neuropathy usually affects the bottom of the feet and sometimes the hands and is one of the first signs of a blood sugar problem. Chemotherapy, hypothyroidism, autoimmune diseases, medications, viruses, and Lyme disease can also lead to peripheral neuropathy. However, high blood sugar and diabetes are the most common causes. Diabetes wears down the myelin sheath over time, leaving exposed nerves at the bottom of the feet. Peripheral neuropathy can feel like hypersensitivity, burning, severe pain, or itching. If it’s not corrected, it can lead to ulcers in the lower part of the body and gangrene. Consuming too much sugar makes it difficult for the mitochondria to get enough fuel. Too much sugar also leads to nutrient deficiencies and inhibits the function of enzymes that bring fuel to the cell. When sugar blocks the body’s mechanism for getting energy to the cells, it utilizes alternative pathways for energy. One of these alternative pathways produces sorbitol, a sugar alcohol. Sorbitol can damage the lens of the eye, leading to cataracts. It can also affect the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy. Sorbitol affects the cells that compose the myelin sheath. It can also convert to fructose, creating even more problems. Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 that can help support the nerves. Try taking 300 mg of benfotiamine 4 times daily. Lipoic acid is a cofactor for the enzyme that allows you to metabolize excess glucose. Vitamins B5, B2, and B3 are also cofactors for this enzyme. Diabetes damages your nervous system and brain over time, so it’s imperative to correct your diet, which I believe is the root cause of peripheral neuropathy. Learn more about the benefits of a low-carb diet and intermittent fasting in my other videos. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
Many foods contain high amount of oxalates which accumulate, resulting in muscle and joint pains, bladder/prostate issues, foot 'neuralgia' among other heath issues. Robs you of calcium and magnesium so host of things can occur! RHUBARB!!!, SPINACH, CHARD, KALE, BEETS, chocolate, almonds, to name a few top ones. Fixed those problems. Also used B-1 [benfotamine] and the best B-complex which are necessary in nerve processes. Worked fast.
Great video. I have 3 diabetic patients who now use Berberine instead of Metformin. Took a bit to get their doctors on board but they agreed and each has seen a significant drop in hgbA1C in three months time. Healthcare should be about healing
How much berberine do they take? One video said 3 500mg tablets per day (I think). Mine says take one per day. I took one metformin after lunch, two days in a row and it made my symptoms worse. Then I remembered videos about berberine, so I googled it. I didn't take any more metformin and tried the berberine instead, along with a complete change in my diet. Hopefully it will work 🙏🏾
@@1Flyingfist defendant on their hgbA1C. If 7 or above we did 500 mg three times a day. Below 7 we did 500 mg twice a day. I do 500 mg one time a day. My hgbA1C is 4.6. Was also keto 28 yrs and now carnivore 5 yrs this June.
JUST GO KETO. I had small-fiber neuropathy, after three weeks of keto I began to get sensation back, overall took about three months before I no longer had symptoms. Really that easy. NO SUPPLEMENTS, JUST CHANGE YOUR GROCERY LIST
It's important to differentiate nerve pain from other causes of pain. If your feet are hurting, when you're standing and walking, that's usually a musculoskeletal pain such as tendinitis. If the pain primarily occurs when you're off your feet, such as when you're laying in bed at night, it's more likely to be nerve pain. To further muddy the waters. If you are pain-free when you go to bed, but you're awakened by your feet being in intense pain, this can be due to a circulation issue.
I have lower spine issues and psoriatic arthritis- not diabetic but overweight with stomach…I don’t know which thing is the problem but I have to take Lyrica, Cymbalta, opioids and Cosentyx shots to function…still have burning, tingling feet, legs, back of buttocks
@@teelinni I have been on Lyrica, and a handful of other tabs, for four years now. I also had a “nerve stimulator” implanted two years ago. I get by on roughly two hours of sleep in every twenty four hours. I can use crutches to get around, but have to concentrate on every step and keep my legs locked straight, or my knees give way. If someone interrupts me, I’m on the floor. The lower spine op I had, from L4 to S3, just made matters worse.
@@teelinni I'm so sorry for the pain you're going through! I can't take Lyrica it makes me go blind (Thank God I got my sight back eventually when I went off it! I also can't take Cymbalta it made me gain lots of weight and made my pain worse and it really messed with my stomach 😢. So I was continued on pain medication and my migraine medication (which I had to try several before they were able to find one that helped me & then a year to two yrs ago they took me off it even though it was the ONLY one that helped me 😮😭). I have been trying to take as many vitamins that Dr. Berg recommends that I can afford after having to go on disability because of my screwed up neck, entire spine and hips and feet. And I stopped all the painful epidurals in my neck, lower back and feet...which made me gain lots of weight (which the pain doctor actually botched a nerve abalation in my left side of my neck and I couldn't use my entire side of my body for 6-8wks!!!😮😳😱😡 I also had the assistant blow out my vein trying to do the IV for the nerve abalation and I should have sued them because that vein is still messed up and nurses always want to use it because they say "Oh that's a big vein !"😳 I tell them it's big/huge now because the pain doctor's assistant didn't know how to do a IV and distroyed my vein and its NEVER went back to normal in 5yrs. So I don't trust any medical team anymore!!! Then after the Botched nerve abalation they wouldn't let her ever do IV again and so she gave me a Xanax for a epidural in my neck and shoulder and Holy Cow they didn't wait until it took effect and I tried to tell them and I felt every bit of the pain and didn't get relaxed until my friends were driving me home 😮😔😭. I certainly hope you have had better treatment's with your doctor's and nurses etc. And hopefully you've had good luck and results with the vitamins recommended in the videos 🙏. B1 has helped with calf pain in my legs, magnesium has helped with the insomnia, but I need to increase the mg. Best wishes ❤
On Easter Sunday 2017, I ate a whole bunch of milk chocolate all at once. My fingertips burned for 3 days straight. I decided I had to do something, so I cut out all carbs immediately. I also adopted the healthy keto and intermittent fasting plan, including 7 to 10 cups of leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables, mostly raw but also some cooked. I didn't care if I lost weight. I just didn't want to get diabetes like most of my family. My symptoms cleared up instantly and never came back. I also lost 30 pounds slowly, over the next 6 months. I've never gained back the weight, and it's been 7 years.
but it's proved science that carbohydrates are actually needed for proper nutrition. Our muscles need carbs and cutting carbs is indeed unhealthy. Did you notice any other health issues after following the diet that you explained?
@@Drberg do you have any videos about bromelain ? I have just restarted using it and I am having good results for inflammation. I have tried nattokainse twice but inflammation was really bad (I suspect a soy reaction)
I have had mild peripheral Neuropathy, I am not diabetic. I have tried Alpha Lipoic Acid and Benfotiamine, I practice intermittent fasting and dirty Keto. For me it really has been the B1 that has had the greatest results. It has taken around 6 months of B1 supplements but I have almost no symptoms now. Don't eat sugar, go low carb and take B1 as Benfotiamine.
@@paulinevahedi4797 : 300mg. But you need to get rid of the sugar and most or your carbs as well. If you are lazy and expect the supplements to do all the work you will be disappointed.
@@Parker-ch9pl Benfotiamine will do very little if you don't stop eating sugar and carbs and/or live a sedentary lifestyle. Buy whatever is cheapest, the brand does not matter.
OMG!! Ten years ago, I faced this issue, and doctors were unable to diagnose it. They prescribed physiotherapy and various medications, but none showed improvement. Then I disposed of the medications and decided to self-manage with calcium, magnesium, multivitamin and fish oil. Surprisingly, the pain vanished!!! Dr Berg you are superstar, you saved so many lives with your video
And Acetyl L Carnitine. Benfotiamine, Acetyl L Carnitine and the R Lipoic Acid. I have used this on myself and it works. I dont have blood sugar problem, mine is more from Hypothyroidism.
I’ve been type 1 for 54 years. 20 years ago I got interested in supplements and have been on B complex. Since listening to Dr Berg I now get better quality of B complex. I probably should get the Lipoic acid as well. Thank you Dr Berg for your honesty and helping us to learn to take care of ourselves!!❤
I am disabled with severe diabetic polyneuropathy I weaned myself off of lyrica, which made me bedridden. I'm able to walk again but my balance good. I take several supplements that help with the symptoms and the pain. Moringa, acetyl L-Carnitine and alpha lipoic acid. Still working to keep my blood sugar under control with my doctor. I believe that some of nerves may have regenerated a while ago. I don't believe that mine will go away completely. I also take B1 and B12
I have my root cause in a cut nerve in left foot made worse by the cold. And now after several decades it is still with me and sleep ... Sleep is a dream i wish i had. No therapy has worked. No medication. Im not comparing or competing with anyone.
Took my first Berberine today .I am diebectic anmemia that I take shots for .Have NAFLD with only 25%liver left from stage for cancer 1 year left to go until 5 years nocancer .Go May 29 blood work will see about a1c levels .Praying for a differnce
My dad had Peripheral Neuropathy. He started doing red light therapy on his feet and hands. Did wonders for them. Over time, the numbness went away and the pain. The diet is obviously the foundation of good health, but the red light therapy worked great in my Dad's case.
I have it but in my hands. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m pregnant. I been seeing a chiropractor and there’s is very little improvement. I’m due in 4!weeks. I will see if it goes away after babu
B-1 really got rid of my foot neuropathy. I quit taking all the other supplements for 2 days to make sure it was that that helped. I have no burning, numbness anymore ❤
@@spartanwarrior2520 I bought the 100 mg B 1 from piping rock (hope it's ok to say that) for my mother in laws dog, because her dog was having seizures and I read that B 1 was good for those as their kibble decimates the B 1 from the dog. Then I heard Dr Berg talking about it and started taking 400 mg a day, with 100 mg alpha lipoic acid. It took about a week to see the results. I take it later in the day because it does make me slightly drowsy
I had numbness and tingling in my feet around the time I was (somewhat promptly) diagnosed type two diabetic. With keto, fasting and benfotiamine, the issue stopped. I aggressively brought my A1c down in under a year to around 4.8, and within about 18 months, I had no more neuropathy (or retinopathy, per my ophthalmologist.)
I am 43 years old and have been dealing with nerve pain in my feet for 12 years. I am skinny and not diabetic. None of my doctors knew the reason for my pain until recently when I started experiencing severe facial pain, diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia. I started to relate the pain in my feet to - it is a nerve pain, but it is not as strong as the pain in my face. With Trigeminal face pain. My life has stopped; I am so scared about how I will be able to continue living with this pain. I am taking carbamazepine, which has many side effects. Last week, I heard that the Keto diet might help or cure brain and nerve diseases. I hope to see improvement. Has anyone had a positive effect from the Keto diet for similar symptoms?
These are actual great recommendations for long term management of weight (heart issues, diabetes) and nerve issues. I know you're not Dr. Berg, but I think your suggestion is pretty on point.
I am left with major nerve pain after shingles...dear Dr. Berg...I will definitely try your program...and all the suggestions left in the comments...thank you all and god bless you and I wish you all good health...❤
I developed peripheral neuropathy from undiagnosed celiac disease. Not entirely sure of the science explanation but I've reversed about 60% of the symptoms just from going gluten free, been flirting with keto/carnivore diets to try to expedite the healing as well. My first step I wanted to take was to just add in organ meats and make sure I could have that diverse amount of nutrients before removing fruits.
Funny enough, I got neuropathy after starting intermittent fasting, cutting refined sugars in all forms, and minimizing carbohydrates, following Eric Berg's videos for 2 years now. I lost a lot of weight and I was so happy, for 2 years. Then I gained back weight last year and my right hand pinky finger pain started, which my chiropractic and other doctors diagnosed as neuropathy and now my right foot has developed the same thing. I don't know now whom to believe. Doctors, specialists, or Dr. Berg or no doctor at all?
This video was meant directly for me. THANK YOU!!!💕💕 My Age 45 CW;330 SW420 A1C;5. Kinda stalemate with my weightloss journey but determined to avoid weighloss surgery. Currently on a waiting list to see my neurologist again. My nerve test came back Serve Neuropathy last month. Not that I needed the test to define it. I have also had hypothyroidism since childhood. Sometimes compression socks help a bit but mostly its just constant. This year my hands have also shared in the joys of THE ACHY BURN as well. Sometimes if I soak my feet on scolding hot water it numbs them for a awhile. It seems these things that added relief are helping less n less. Im trying to dig deep n really focus more on my diet again (cutting carbs/sugars) and adding ANY vitamins I can. Im currently taking a strong D3 once a week and a B12 shot once a month. Im hoping these suggestions might add more relief. It seems others who describe my pain level with neuropathy are 10 plus years older than than me. I feel pretty depressed about the whole dilemma.
Great video and it's true, Dr Berg. By taking high doses of Vit B1 (thiamine) alongside a good quality B Complex while doing Keto, IF and some physical exercise my neuropathy was reduced considerably. Thanks for your helpful advice 🙏🏻
In my mid-50s. I had neuropathy in my right foot, but I've never tested as diabetic. In a completely seperate fitness effort, I started taking 100% DV of all vitamins and minerals, mostly multi-vitamins with a few supplements. Nothing crazy. Also shifted over to carnivore diet. I hit the gym twice a day, with an hour of cardio on the treadmill. Over the last year, I lost weight and muscled up. My neuropathy slowly disappeared at a rate that I never noticed, but it's now a year later and I suddenly realize that I have NONE of it going on in my foot anymore. Incredible.
Let me qualify what Dr. Berg is saying: my daughter and I did OMAD keto with intermittent fasting for a year. Not only did I lose 80 pounds, but I used to constantly have crippling pains in my feet and ankles where suddenly I couldn’t bear any weight on them and while we were on the program it went away . Now that I’ve not been following it so well the pains have returned. I gotta get back on track!
I developed neuropathy while I was going through chemo in 2017. It’s really hard to call what I feel “pain“. It feels like someone poured sand or something between my toes and some type of cement at the top of my feet. My fingers slightly have it as well but it’s more annoying than painful. I really miss waking up and going about my day without this discomfort😢
Chemo caused mine too. Esp in my feet. Finished chemo in 2016. Now in 2024 most of it is finally gone. Just a bit of residual in right foot. Good luck. May it all go away.

I started having peripheral neuropathy in hands & heals from Lyme. Should I use same protocol? Never was diabetic or had any sugar issues before that & no family history either, but glucose levels went up in blood tests too. I'm in my 70's.
I have peripgeral neuropathy, but 99% confident mine was caused by my B12 being scary low for so long. It's better since I'm on injections, but still flares up some.

My dad took Turkey Tail and Lions Mane mushroom capsules to help with cancer recovery. 2 weeks after starting, his neuropathy went away, 2 years and no returning symptoms. Multiple others I know of have had great success after trying them too.
The bottom of my feet became numb/painful, and sometimes even hot after an epidural😢 18 months ago. Thefore, it is important NOT to put your feet into overly hot water as they have less feeling and could get damaged.
Hi Doc, I'm not diabetic, but I do have very painful peripheral neuropathy. It feels like my right side is on fire. I had a stroke 1 year ago, and triple bypass 2 months ago. I was pretty healthy up until the stroke, worked hard every day. Good healthy diet. Im not taking much in the way of meds. The neuropathy and memory, left eyesight, and equalibrium are the mail leftovers from the stroke. The bypass was for a blocked widowmaker artery. I see feel more neuropathy in my body sometimes daily. Its agonizing from my stand point, and my family too. It makes taking walks very uncomfortable, and work very difficult. The meds that Dr prescribe do nothing but aggrivate the balance, but nothing for the neuropathy. My wife found your advice worth trying. Im at wits end.

I had peripheral neuropathy what was slowing getting worse. Turns out I was getting way too much B6 from a multi vitamin I was taking. B6 can build up over time so it took years to get to this point. I haven't PN for a few months now.
@@Rose-tp8vr I saw an article stating PN could be caused by B6 doses as "low" as 17mg a day (10x RDA). The 3-a-day vitamin had 17mg per capsule! PN stopped within a week after stopping the vitamins.
Wow, Dr. Berg, I just heard you say that we can’t always get enough vitamins from our foods. My doctor wouldn’t say that in a million years. Thanks for being honest and caring about our health.
Thank you for the great videos, Dr. Berg. I have a question. Do those advices work for neuropathy cause by chemotherapy? I'm diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and after 6 months of FOLFOX I've got this neuropathy problem. It's not that severe but I don't have much sensitivity on the tip of my fingers and I have pain at my feet. I wonder if there's a way to revert the damage or at least lessen their severity.
@@yippee-ki-yay9925 doesn't no sugar mean no carbs 🤔, so I wil State it again, I don't eat any sugar of any kind and still have the issue, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue. Also for those who don't understand, no I don't eat carbs either. It's supposed to be an all fire cure my question is when is it going to start working for me. 😔
@louiselunardon7097 ok, some people assume cutting sugar is all they need to do and don't realize that they need to look at carbs. For me, I have to eat < 25 carbs a day to keep my A1C down and get rid of PN. Perhaps your case isn't due to high sugar? I get PN at A1C of 5.8-5.9 range which is pre-diabetes. When I get it to around 5.3-5.6 it goes away..Good luck and don't give up hope.

B vitamins cause me to break almost immediately with cystic acne. I'm 60! Tried all kinds of formulas and the lipoid acid. Within a few days I can feel it coming up in my lower face.

My son had CIDP and the root cause was a chronic Bartonella infection. It went away with treating the infection. Bartonella invades vascular system and the inflammation cuts off the oxygen to peripheral nerves.

I have severe neuropathy in my feet that I've been dealing with for years. It's so horrible. I'm not diabetic and so far no doctor knows why I have it. I don't eat sugar and only drink water. I've tried everything including ALA and B vitamins. Nothing helps except one thing from the doctors, Lyrica, but Lyrica has horrible side effects. I had to ask to get my dose lowered, so it doesn't work as well, but the side effects are less. The worst one is it messes with your memory where it takes longer than usual to think of the answer to a question. For example if someone asks what other movies an actor is in, it takes me a lot longer to think of the answer even though I know it. It gets really frustrating and I wish I could find a natural way to get relief.
Are you aware of kratom (purchased from reputable vendors who do testing on their supply)? My diabetic former boyfriend had horrible neuropathy, and nothing worked until he tried kratom. He has never done any kind of illicit drugs, never drank much alcohol, nothing like that. And he was desperate, so he checked with his doctor, who said it would be fine to use kratom. It is the only thing that worked for him, and he used it for a couple years until he moved and changed doctors; that doctor put him on Gabapentin, which helped slightly better than kratom, he said…but of course brings all sorts of side effects and concerns. I’ve used kratom for almost 10 years for chronic lower back pain with no ill effects. Just a thought.
Glad you’re here with information that makes common sense. Using natural resources before using pharmaceuticals. Mainly it’s because of what people are eating that’s the root cause of many of their health issues
Mine was low B12 ( was within range but levels were low) ..B12 shot took care of it...Magnesium Glycerin supplement helps too My neuropathy began once I changed my diet and started eating healthy... Seek a neurologist
i have Burning Pain in my Feet (entirely), Ankles and Lower-Legs - 5 years and counting.... The Vascular-Specialist says my Blood-Vessels are fine. The Neurologist can't detect any Nerve damage. Tests reveal i am not Diabetic, Pre-diabetic or insulin-Resistant. i'm also continually improving upon my Low-Carb Diet. i have tried high amounts of Benfotiamine & Lipoic-Acid in addition to other B-Vitamins (non-synthetic). No-one seems to know what is the Cause of this Burning Pain, much less how to Treat it. Stumped! This is my 'normal' and it's terrible! The thought of living this way for decades is depressing. 😥
I've had it mild for a few years but now its getting worse. Doctor doesn't know what it ius. I suspect its the diltiazem I'm taking, (stopped taking it a couple of weeks ago). Nerve Doctors on youtube showed a 2012 report from FDA Blacklist which says diltiazem and about a ten other drugs if taken over an long period of time can cause nerve damage. I have had this drug for more than 8 years so its highly likely to be the culprit.
What about lower estrogen in perimenopause and postmenopause? My grandmother developed the burning in her feet right around mid 40s, she was not diabetic, my mom also developed the burning around the same age and now I'm 43 and just started to feel it too, I'm not diabetic either. I'm thinking could lower estrogen be the root cause?
When I first get out of bed my feet are numb until I take a few steps. I never have any pain or problems though during the day. My feet do swell up in the summer with high humidity and sitting at a desk for a long time. I am not diabetic, so was wondering what would cause the numbness when first walking on feet in the morning.
38 healthy male here. Been suffering from dizziness lightheadedness and anxiety. Just want to neurologist and he said I had small fiber neuropathy. What’s weird is I am not a diabetic. I did test positive for autoimmune though. I now have to go for MRI and other tests. I am freaking out.
Don’t worry! Doctors love their test$. Stay super hydrated all day and try the “Nerve Support with Benfotiamine” by Dr Berg 4 x a day.IF and carnivore diet.
ha! been suffering from this recently - ....my diet is fairly low carb, dont eat much sugar or bread etc... put it down to red wine - sulphites and alcohol both not good for this...
My dad had peripheral nephropathy for decades.. UN-diagnosed until the 80s.. I never remember him having hair below his calves.. and he wasn't diabetic. He didn't have an auto immune issue or any chemo.. No one ever came up with an official cause but he said it started after he mistakenly got his feet into av gas while in the air force.. soaked right through his boots.. never had athletes foot after that either.
I have numbing leg and was taking Benfotiamine 150mg for months, but recently started 300mg per day, together with the other B vitamins, Alpha lipoic Acid and Omega 3. My question is Benfotiamine 300mg x 4 times per day=1200mg per day, isn't that too much?I am wondering should I increase my dose.
Gm dr Berg, I have experience most of these symtoms in my feet, I have found along with changing my diet also exercise and massaging the soles of my feet helps. Thank you for the vids.❤👍🇹🇹
Hi ,Dr Berg can you plz answer my question, are fava beans good for diabetics?my father loves this beans and I don't know wether they are good for him or no.
Facts! Following Dr Berg's healthy keto plan, I have reversed T2D, plus many many other metabolic physical and mental health issues. My foot neuropathy is still healing after 4 years, but it is significantly better. Unfortunately, I had cataract surgery before I knew the truth about insulin. FORMER metabolically unhealthy T2D.
Some topical treatments do help nerve pain using a topical analgesic that contains menthol or capsaicin. There are many such products available over the counter. These analgesics work to provide another stimulus and essentially confuses the nerves as they send impulses to your brain. This can help reduce the pain you are experiencing from peripheral neuropathy. Many people have found relief using topical CBD preparations.
You give a number of supplements. From watching your previous videos I know you gave Lipoic Acid at 1800 mg a day, Benfotiamine300mg 4x a day, but you don't show how much or how often a day one should take, B5, B2, B3 I watched a video from you that showed B1 but you recommended Allithiamine at 50 mg, but in this video you recommend the lab version Benfotiamine B1, is one better then the other for nerve damage? and how much per day. I know dosages and times taken per day matter. Your videos have helped my husband and I so very much, along with your supplements which we use. Thank you for the amazing catalog you have shared with everyone it has helped so many people. Know you are very busy but any help with the above would be greatly appreciated.
I’m trying to zero I’m on what supplements I should be taking now. I already take all of the supplements Dr. Berg talks about in this video. I’m on a carnivore diet and unfortunately still have numbness and tingling sensations in my feet especially at night. Any recommendations? Thank you.
The top of my feet feel like they are burning, I have been told it was from diabetes. I didn't know it was normally the bottom of the foot. I struggle to get an answer from the doctor I see in endocrinology, I asked about blood sugar spikes he says he only cares if I get to low, when I ask about why I do not get below 120 on blood sugar since they started me on insulin when I use to be 70-90 in the morning, he just says it takes time. But doesn't answer time for what? I have tried to switch doctors but there are none in the specialty, I had to switch clinics to get a doctor for a general doctor that would answer any questions. They get mad at me for to many questions and tell me I take to long as a patient, but I do not ask questions that should be that hard to answer.
I have it on my feet but it doesn't hurt at all. A few days ago I added CA AKG to my already numerous list of supplements. Dr. Berg, is it true that AKG and berberine cancel each other out? Thank you.
Can root canals cause peripheral neuropathy through auto immune disease. Because I’ve been dealing with chronic nerve pain for a while now and despite medication, fasting, and eating healthy, I still have this problem. This tells me that something is causing my pain though I’m not certain if it’s from my root canal or something entirely different. I bring this up because it all began the day I had my first root canal. Soon after I then had a second root canal. I then had the first root canal extracted to see if that would resolve my issue though it did not. I held off on extracting the root canal in case it’s not coming from it. Please help me because whatever the source is, it’s causing me many health issues simultaneously.
You probably need a different doctor. I mean, no questions asked?... suggestions given. Just take your copay and tell you it's just your imagination. 😂😂😂
Yeah. I think the govt started to fast track qualifications for alot of these so call foreign doctors here in Ontario. So that explains the quality of care we're getting.
Sounds similar to the root cause of gender dysphoria, CELLULAR TOCIXITY! I wouldn't want either!! Healthy Keto rocks! Thanks, Sir! Have a great Tuesday, everyone! From 🇺🇸
