@DrBerg can you please recommend what can be used for toddlers/ young children for electrolyte intake? Could they be given a small amount of your electrolyte powder daily? Thank you
Ok it has to be said. This is bloody good. Dr Berg - nobody comes close to his ability to explain health issues in a simple, concise way. He's a fantastic communicator.
And don't expect doctors to catch this issue. Was sent to cardiologists, neurologists, etc and guess who figured out that my potassium was deficient? ME! From researching on Google! My potassium serum test was "normal" so they never even considered it as the cause of my chest pains, heart palpitations, leg cramps, etc. All I needed was more potassium! YEARS of my life miserable bc I needed to stop drinking plain water and add more potassium!
Same with me. I'm trying a powder electrolytes and I switch up with low sodium v 8 juice. I'm also trying different waters. I just tried a blk water. It is black water with trace minerals etc. I think this is really good as something different for my body.
That's right! That is why I refer to the "doctor establishment" as "cutters, burners, and pill pushers incorporated". I would have had 13 generations of doctors in my family, but my uncle, who took pre-med classes, opted instead for a career with Walt Disney, at Disneyland. He was the 5th official employee of Disneyland Inc, being hired in 1954. I think that he made a good choice, for a career change!
Same with me, but my problem was low sodium and symptoms were different. I’d guess it started when I was about 12, got resolved at 52 by drinking only electrolyte drinks, specifically Re-Lyte. Spent most of my life thinking I was incredibly lazy.
I blamed the keto diet for 16 months of cystitis and had eight doses of antibiotics which brought me no relief. I even paid a urologist to diagnose what was wrong with no result. Eventually I realised it was the metformin prescribed for my T2D that was the culprit. Keto with IF had brought my blood sugars down very quickly but no doctor even considered this.
Same. I used to drink 3-7 Litres of water almost every day for years ruining my electrolytes, until last year around december I started taking electrolytes (specifically sodium/salt), never felt better. Haven't even drank coffee since I started taking them.
You can put in for a session but there were a lot of questions on the questionaire but it was good because the team does a comprehensive look at history along with blood work
A few years ago my nephew would only drink / hydrate with a sugary drink here in the UK called Vimto. He had to be treated by the dentist and had 7 amalgam fillings all in one go. It was a bad experience for him. He was told to stop drinking Vimto. In fact, unbeknownst to us he hardly drank anything at all. We noticed his eyes looked dark and sunken and thought it might be a iron deficiency. Anyway, things got worse . He starting having fits and was eventually diagnosed with epilepsy. He went to see numerous specialists who put him on anti fitting medication. Despite this he still has epileptic episodes. I did a little research and found that years of lack of hydration can lead to low electrolytes. Low electrolytes is linked to Epilepsy. I encouraged him to drink more and once a day dissolve an electrolyte tablet in a glass of water. So far so good. To date no epileptic episodes.
Also amalgam is bad for the body it contains neuro toxins in blood Take it out go find a biological dentist My right side I had breast cancer in 2020 due to a 20 yr old metal fuse crown and when it got remove underneath the metal fuse crown was a silver filled n my roots were black Leakage of silver filling cause it
I worked with this guy who drank gallons of Mtn Dew every day. I once calculated he'd drank my entire day's caloric intake in just Mtn Dew. Naturally he was like 300 lbs, swollen belly, felt like hell all the time. He said he didn't like water, it "didn't satisfy is thirst." He liked the tingle and flavor of soda. I recommended sparkling water, where we discovered he really just liked the sugar. It was really sad watching someone his age eat and drink himself into a state of metabolic disorder. He said he just needed Adderall, that was his problem.
For the last two years I was partially bedridden. Until I recently found out I was deficient in electrolytes. After I gave my body electrolytes, all of my symptoms vanished. If I would've known earlier. Thank you for educating the people. You are a good person. God bless you.
May I ask what your symptoms were my husband is also bed ridden. They just tell him he has herniated disc and it’s pinching nerves. They would only allow him 3 therapy sessions a month. Now he can barely walk. Which is bad for his heart. Idk I’m at Witt’s end with these docs. Also which electrolytes did you use?
@@lauraheckathorn-sandner2596 Felt dizzy and weak, no energy, fatigue, slept a lot. I was deficient in electrolytes. That had messed me up on a cellular level as well. I changed my diet to more organic and healthy balanced eating. Also took low amount of celtic salt to cleanse the waste filled cells and give minerals to my body. I did not had issues with nerves or walking, just very low energy. Heart palpation as well. Took Vitamin B complex, magnesium, iron, vitamin D3+K2 and an organic multivitamin liquid from garden of life.
@@lauraheckathorn-sandner2596 try source naturals magnesium malate. I have spinal stenosis in L4 L5 lower back. Also get sciatic pain in rt leg. This stuff helps. Take 3 a day. Give it a couple weeks. I started feeling better in a few days. I also have arthritis in rt si joint, sacroiliac, helps that too. Good luck. I'm 63 BTW. Don't stop taking them. They work.
I kept experiencing painful leg and foot cramps while sleeping. I just thought I'm not drinking enough water. After I saw your video on electrolytes, I bought some powder to add to my water. It helps hydrate me and I don't have muscle cramps anymore.
@@mehtabbali6087 Since watching Dr. Berg's videos, I've been cutting back on carbs. I love rice, pasta, bread and potatoes but they are not a huge part of my diet anymore.
As a UPS driver, I always knew I was getting overheated when I got a headache and became fatigued. Little did I know how much salt I was lacking... I usually am cautious about salt because of the health effects, but never would've thought I was deficient in it, thank you Dr. Berg!
I can always tell I'm low on electrolytes, I feel anxious but it's my heart rate going nuts. I will be very fatigued and feel all around terrible. I get more potassium into me and I feel fine after that. I'm glad I didn't reply on doctors to figure that out. Years ago I felt terrible and went to the doctor, he prescribed Zoloft... I was mal-nusrished, sleep deprived and low on electrolytes. Got off of the Zoloft which gave me terrible insomnia got proper sleep, ate properly and got electrolytes and I was a whole new me.
You just described me! I have been tapering off zoloft and am now focusing on better nutrition all the way around with fruit and changing up my water. Thank you so much!!
@@Kathyahedrick3 for potassium I drink orange juice, I get the cases from Costco of the Oasis 300ml bottles which is slightly more than a cup and there is 550mg of potassium in each one. One or two of those per day helps so much.
You’ve just solved my entire problem of fatigue, palpitations, constipation, headaches, muscle twitching, the lot! Thank you so so much. I’m a metastatic breast cancer patient and have been struggling for 6 years with the disease and side effects. I’m on a lot of medications and no one has ever addressed an electrolyte deficiency. Thank you again, I’m going to try them straight away.
Also please check you gut and intestines for some bacteria, check the heart infection symptoms and risk factors if you have most of them then with your doctor about heart infection, some problems have same symptoms. Best of luck.
Two years ago I was on a Drink A Gallon Water A Day. Well about two months later I'm twitching and spasms at work. So I go to the ER, thought I would go into seizure for sure, the nurse asked if I'm drinking a lot of water. Said yes, it's my new addiction. Basically by drinking that much water you're flushing your system out of sodium and potassium. I just make sure I drink half a bottle of water and hr noe.
@Dream Catcher. FYI, you can also soak your foot in warm water with Epsom Salt to get magnesium into your body. Cream of tartar is an inexpensive source of potassium and I add a 1/2 teaspoon to my foot soak. Sea salt also helps as our cells need sodium and chloride. Do what works for you. Glad that you are learning how to take care of your health. Blessings.
I have lost over 50 lbs and REVERSED aches and pains using 20 hr daily fast thanks to your videos . I am 48 and i felt 78. Now i feel like im 28 .Fasting as been nothing short of a miracle for me.I buy your electorate powder as a way to give back. Thank you. 😊
@@shaimaya1117 I have a big 40 oz insulated cup I sip on all day. I will fill it 2 or 3 times. I use electrolyte powder in at least one of the fills. I drink black coffee as well. It kills any hunger I get before my 4 pm to 8 pm eating window. I also take an emergen_C vitamin drink before bed.I try to eat meat and salad. No bread or rice or pasta.
@@johninphx9360 sounds good I do drink a lot of water but it’s good to add electrolytes to it giving up bread (gluten) makes me feel very good but it get hard at times n I fell of wagon most everything have gluten specially something i can grab n eat but hearing frm ppl like u n watching videos it gives me motivation to be strict to follow good eating habits n be healthy
@@johninphx9360 that’s awesome besides weight loss fasting is so good for overall health it just renews everything watching all the videos n testimonials I think fasting is the new medicine for most if not all ailments that ills you thanks for the info I’ll definitely have to start fasting myself
Thank you for explaining how the lack of electrolytes can wreak havoc in our bodies. I was having crazy muscle spasms while sleeping. My jaw would chatter and my body would jump whenever I would try to fall asleep. My legs started to twitch and jump and I was panicking at night before trying to sleep because I knew what was in store for me. Out of desperation I went to a neurologist who ordered an MRI and never once mentioned anything about electrolytes. I started researching on RU-vid and read about magnesium deficiency symptoms which really resonated with me so I added magnesium Malate and the cramps and spasms subsided. I was still experiencing my teeth chattering whenever I woke up so I started my RU-vid research again which led me to electrolytes. Thank God! It’s been smooth sailing since then!😊
Wait your body jumped like that jolt just as your about to enter sleep… I’ve been having that issue for a while now couldn’t figure it out doc said it was anxiety
@@Yuralittlebitchn1gga You’re anxious because you’re anticipating not falling asleep! Try adding an electrolyte drink daily and read up on Magnesium too. Thank goodness for RU-vid!
I was in my mid 40s and had health issues for YEARS before I finally realized a lot of the issue was I was dehydrated w/ low electrolytes. I’m not an athlete, but maintain my weight. I don’t sweat a lot. I just wasn’t someone who you’d think would be dehydrated. I had headaches, dizziness, muscle weakness, heart palpitations, etc. I actually did two things everybody says NOT to do, and it helped immensely. I increased my intake of red meat and salt. It’s like my body NEEDS more salt… Most days I also drink a (low sugar) electrolyte pack w/ water. It’s helped a ton. I also think this is all related to autoimmune disease, which I also have. Anyway, great video!
Years ago I was an apprentice at a power generation facility…I was in shock (hahaha 😅) when I found out electrical motors can hang in pure distilled water! This was a brilliant demonstration of how the human body needs/uses electrolytes for its electrical impulses!
My five-year-old LOVES your experiment Dr. Berg. She keeps rewinding it over and over to watch the lightbulb turn on. You always make things so easy to understand. Thank you for this demonstration! 👍🏽💥🌟👍🏽💥🌟👍🏽💥🌟
I remember grade school. Be sure she understands that the electrolytes are simply completing the circuit, like a simple wire. This isn't like with the potatoes where the electrolytes are generating the electricity to power a digital clock. That was my first impression, and I'm an adult. When he said it completes the circuit, that's when it dawned on me. Water itself doesn't actually conduct electricity, and he just proved this. It's the minerals inside the water that conduct electricity. That way she understands what's happening there accurately. I know electrolytes can and do hold an electric charge, but it wouldn't be nearly enough to turn on an incandescent bulb, maybe a single LED very low, maybe a digital clock like the potatoes, but that's not what's happening in this video, and it's important that she understands that because otherwise she might have an inaccurate understanding, and it might make other things confusing that she learns later.
I once was super hungover and tanked 40 oz of water upon waking. I threw up and then started feeling like I was seizing. Couldn’t open my eyes, muscle spasms and cramping, rapid heart rate and pressure in my head. I had a hard time staying conscious. Super scary. I told my friend to call 911, but she insisted on buying me pedialyte and coconut water. I chugged the pedialyte half an hour later and was immediately better. Wish I had known this stuff then.
I had two parathyroids removed in 2020 and have had issues with electrolyte balance ever since. After doing a lot of my own investigating, I came to the conclusion keto and fasting are not going to be good for me. You basically said everything I was thinking. Thank you so much for this. I’m glad to have my suspicions confirmed.
As an old Navy electronics technician, I absolutely love the electrical experiment demonstration! 😄 The information in this video is more valuable than The Golden Wedge of Ophir! Thanks Dr. Berg for this fantastic video!
Fun to see it work in action, but.... all I can see is a whole lot of people who are going to try that, like a Tic Toc Challenge.... haphazardly and electrocute themselves.
I believe you just solved my medical issues. I was diagnosed with hyponatremia twice. Then I was diagnosed with having electrolytes too low to be compatible with life, twice. I was fasting both times. The only time this doesn't happen is when I don't fast. I didn't know that it was electrolytes, not a lack of food. Thank you.
Literally just happened to me this weekend while out of town. Had terrible leg cramps my mom panicked trying to take me to the hospital. I started back taking my magnesium and potassium supplements and drinking electrolytes and I'm back to normal!
I've been living with extreme fatigue for a while now. Drinking to much water, who would have thought. One day following your advice and I'm now starting to get my energy back! Thank you Dr.!!!!
The explanation with the lightbulb is amazing, fun and very clarifying. Not only are you helping millions improve their health, you are educating people in a great way.
I was sodium deficient for 1 1/2 years. I never would've guessed until I had strong cravings for salt. I am a very active person and I also hit the sauna 2-3x a week. My sodium deficiency symptoms compromised of erectile dysfunction, cold genitals, cold feet, high heart rate during sleep, and low energy. I literally thought my sex drive was falling apart at the age of 29 and was freaking out. Everything is all good now and back to normal. It's crazy how just salt alone caused me so many issues.
Can you please share with me what you started drinking or taking?? I’m reading the comments but no one has said anything about what they did to correct the problem. Thank you in advance.
Potassium changed my life. I used to get debilitating dizzy/vertigo periodically for decades and would fix it by drinking tons of Electrolyte water and reducing my salt intake to rebalance things. This worked until one night it didn't. My heart rate was way too slow, I was too weak to get out of bed, I thought I may actually be dying and almost went to the ER. My husband realized my Electrolyte water contained little to no potassium. So he told me to resume normal sodium levels and gave me coconut water to drink for the next few days which has lots of potassium. And it fixed me right up!! So now we take potassium on a regular basis and keep our salt levels normal and we're good.
Another symptom is constant UTI. Im still recovering from stripping my electrolytes over a year ago. I did a water fast with no electrolyte supplementation. The entire front of my body went numb. Im still recovering the effects from it but I am mostly healed, thank God!
I’ve started watching your videos and honestly I’m not having big pulse surges anymore. I’ve been in emergency twice and they found nothing wrong. Started into electrolytes and I’m feeling so much better. THANK YOU.
Electrolytes definitely make me feel better when I'm doing a fast. I've been doing a keto diet along with fasting to treat brain cancer. Thank-you for all your information you share, understanding how the body works is fascinating to me.
He has another video on the liver...and the foot signs of liver issues(I did read you have brain cancer, but I also know the brain is made of cholesterol) he talks about the live, bile acids and cholesterol....might be something for you there...along with k2 info and cholesterol
You might choose to read an article called 'Cancer to the Rescue?' by Stephanie Seneff. She's a famous chemist and the article puts forward her theory about why the body creates cancer in the first place. Like, what is it trying to do? I read the article a few years ago and have been taking MSM supplements ever since, because if her theory is correct, then cancer is entirely preventable. If the root reason can be addressed, that can only help, right? Even for someone who already has it, I would think.
I'm using Dr Berg's electrolytes and they are seriously the best I have found on the market -- I've become a daily user, and recommend this in the strongest terms to anyone reading. One big request: please please make a version that's not as sweet.
A great explanation of how electrolytes work and how important they are. I use to dehydrate on my job almost daily. I started hydrating with electrolytes before working and felt way better.
We can’t get a BETTER explanation than this ThQ Dr Berg for the daily health care updates & research, your free service means a lot to many people around the world🥰 HAPPY weekend to everyone stay happy and healthy 💚
I became so low in sodium that I had a brain seizure. Doctor said I could have died. Something so simple yet so serious. If only doctors were taught nutrition.
So that is why my heart rate was so high all these years. I drank about 1-4 liters of Coca-Cola for about 19 years each day, depending on the daily circumstances. No coffee and no water. Last year it began to feel like I'm breaking down. For the past 5 months I have been drinking only water and really trying to look after myself better. Extremely difficult as it may be, but my back pain disappeared. Many things have changed as I also eat less meat and more vegetables now. Thanks for letting me share, been following a while and feel grateful towards the information as I do take heed of what you say Dr. Thank you.
Thank goodness not yet. My eyesight have gotten worse, but that can be an age factor. I'm early 40's. I've recently also discovered that my excessive white rice eating habit is also contributing to many problems so I have stopped that completely as well. Hope you doing well also.@@KaifamGaming
@@Votrgreat to hear! im doing pretty fantastic physically. its just mentally im a wreck but whatever. its very important to eat as varied as you can and eat alot of different fruit and vegetables for instance. you can also try supplementing. also i reccomend eating yoghurt with oatmeal or meusli as breakfast. and especially physical excercise (the more the better) i have a membership at my local gym and try to go everyday, this will probably solve close to all of your problems and you will feel great nearly everyday its just pretty hard i guess.
Thank you Doctor. I just went to the emergency room recently, because of dehydration. I was losing a lot of fluids from drinking too much coffee, especially the cold brew. I was so faint that I could hardly walk. After they treated me, I felt much better. Also, I wasn't aware that the muscle stiffness around my heart could be caused by lack of electrolytes. Thank you for showing this. I am very grateful.
My mom already had heart issues but what did her in was getting food poisoning and that caused diarrhea which depleted her already fragile electrolyte levels. She passed away soon after that. It hurt her heart that badly being that low on electrolytes. Great video Dr. Berg!
I recently had an episode where shortly after falling asleep my entire body started shuddering. The shuddering lasted for about an hour, during which time I had bitten all the inside of my mouth. My husband called an ambulance and while we were waiting for the ambulance he gave me a drink of magnesium with potassium which I believe eventually stopped the shuddering. When I got to the hospital the doctor insisted that I had had a panic attack. My blood tests showed low potassium but the doctor said that Its better to be low in potassium than high in potassium and warned me against taking potassium supplements without being monitored by a GP. I have zero confidence in the medical profession as a whole, however I am so grateful for Dr Berg's videos as I have learnt so much about helping my body to stay healthy.
This information is so important. I've tried to explain these concepts to other members of my family who are first getting into keto and fasting. I'm glad there's a dedicated, well articulated video I can point them to. Liked and saved to favorites!
@@andreasl4507 "Keto" is the ketogenic nutrition style. Most people eat a lot of carbohydrates, and the body turns carbs into glucose for fuel. But eating keto means eating very low carbs, and the body turns fat into ketones for fuel. A lot of people are improving their health by going keto!
This is one of the Best Channels in this category, explaining in a way that is straight to the point, but gently, and easy to understand for everyone! Thank you for your videos!
Dr. Eric Berg, I thank God for access to your channel. I've known many GP's that just don't have it; disappointing so. You sir are more of a ND than a DC Access to your channel has likely saved many lives and most certainly improved lives. 👍🙏🥰🇨🇦
I had a keto flu when I hit a 33 hour fast during my keto diet. Honestly thought I was going to die. I keep on hearing that keto and fasting was a life saver but I never heard of the possibility of getting keto flu. My body became so cold and I was shivering and teeth were chittering. I wish I knew as much as i know now back then. Keto and fasting is amazing just make sure you prep properly and don't dive in head first.
I went through all of these symptoms back in 2019. I had no idea I was low on electrolytes back then. I suffered with daily chest pain, heart palpitations and panic attacks. I really felt like it was the end for me during those days until I gained this knowledge.
I am so glad you found out the cause! This is exactly how I feel. I’ve had so many blood tests etc. My potassium was low even though considering ‘normal’ I too am experiencing horrific panic attacks, chest pain, fast heart rate, literally thought its my time to go. I have just started taking electrolytes now from Dr Berg, praying this is the answer! Spent hours and hours researching and no doctor has ever mentioned this! ❤
@@Jazmiin-zf7qo Give it some time. I kept feeling symptoms for a while but it will be more mild each day until you get back to normal. Some doctors aren't even aware of this. A doctor I went to see recommended me to take anxiety pills, a stress test, and more frequent visits. I already knew when he recommended that it wasn't going to do me any good and only benefit him.
@@HardcoreGAMER9991hat's what's been going on with me it seems. Symptoms have came back twice now but a lot more mild. Less dizziness, a little bit of weakness/low energy but still have headache. Those are the symptoms I'm dealing with still sort of. Within ten to twelve days everything goes away. And then it comes back again two or three weeks later more mild, that seems to be improvement? I use hydralyte tablets daily and other electrolyte drinks sometimes as well. This all started over two months ago. From excessive sweating and working out and not putting in electrolytes only drinking water! I found out about a month and 7 days ago ago it was most likely electrolytes. And since then I quit working out currently. I'm just really hoping it goes away completely. When I went for a blood test initially everything came back as normal. It wasn't until I started doing my own research...
@@HardcoreGAMER9991thanks for saying that. I’m on day two but still feeling symptoms not as bad as yesterday but I started spinning with worry 😵💫. Good to know I’m recovering but just slowly
Perfect exlanation. I've been living this nightmare for the past 5 years as I went between a Keto diet, Keto with high carb cheating, and then back to original carb levels. I started taking sugar-free electrolyte powder and it seems to have solved cramps, arrhythmia, and headaches. I expend a lot of sweat and energy every day working out, and before I supplemented with electrolytes I'd get all of these problems. As you mention too, overdosing on water to replenish sweat won't help unless you include electrolytes (especially at high altitude). Thank you!!
Wow! I have those mussels palpitations & I went to the cardiologist, my primary doctor, my endocrinologist & I mentioned at least to 5 more doctors & NOBODY was able to tell me why. I will give a try the electrolytes. Thank you Dr. B.
i had heart palpitations shortness of breath insomnia also went to dr did a stress test echo cardio gram and everything came back fine . dr wrote it off as anxiety, i started having electrolytes in the morning and all the symptoms i was experiencing have went away in about 2 weeks . i use relyte electrolytes good luck
Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing your knowledge with us. I started watching you to help my mom. Now I am here trying to find info that may help me overcome my extreme fatigue. I'm vegan & experienced loss of my mom in Jan. I recently have had an increase in heart rate, losing hair, have headaches...I'm a mess. Started drinking coconut water to get my potassium & magnesium up. Still going through your videos & trying to make sure I am focusing on my nutrition to help fine tune my body.
I used coconut water before going keto. It works well. Keto and intermittent fasting works even better!! Had to drink a lot of electrolyte powder (Dr. Berg's is highest in potassium -low in additives) and take food based b vitamins (Dr. Berg's Keto Energy) to replenish, especially in the beginning.
Thank you for explaining the relationship between carbohydrates and potassium. I have periodic hypokalemia paralysis and always knew that carbs had an effect on me experiencing it, but I never had a doctor who explained the reason why. It's interesting that when potassium is stored as glycogen it's not necessarily available. Thanks again for posting this video.
I went to so many doctors for some kind of sensation in body which was causing all those symptoms but nobody could detect that i was having hyponatremia. One day i got admitted with dizziness in hospital and got tested for sodium and it was too low, after correcting sodium i began to recover. Thanks to you doctor for awareness. I wish i could have seen your videos long time back then I wouldn't have faced this problem. Anyway better late than never. Thanks again.
More doctors need to know about that, especially the ones that are prescribing blood pressure medications. Despite fake medical beliefs, there is no guarantee that a given person has too much sodium in their body. The only way to know for sure is to test for it. People sweat more and less than others and some people retain more or less of it due to their kidneys and then there's the amount of fluids and their actual intake. Without actually having lab work done to determine whether or not there's even an excess, there should be no blood pressure medication prescribed that affects either potassium or sodium. People can be a lot closer to dangerous levels than one might expect.
Sweating all day gives me major sodium deficiency. I can not do any hard labor or workouts without salt on hand. Once I take it there is nearly instant relief. No one talks about proper general wellness like Dr. Berg.
Few weeks ago I bought your electrolytes and it’s delicious. I am doing intermittent fasting 8 weeks now and dropped it 24 pounds so far. Thank you so much 🙏🙏
We just moved to North Carolina from Michigan. We’ve been more active here because the weather is so amazing, but man I’ve been feeling horrible, basically most of the symptoms you’ve listed, nausea, muscle spasms, constant headache etc etc. It now makes so much sense!!! I’ve been sweating like crazy and drinking distilled water because the tap water here tastes so horrible! Bingo!!!!!!!
This is very true what Dr Berg says in this video. Two years ago, I was doing yard work out in the hot August sun. I worked for hours and I was sweating profusely onto my shirt. Later I went inside and drank a cold glass of wine - not water with electrolytes as I should have. My husband took me out to dinner later that night and I noticed I was feeling strange. He took me to ER where my heart rate was 188 per min. I was in A-FIB! They said my potassium was very low ... among some other things. I could have died! I'm very careful now about water and electrolytes.
We might need to think about mineral removal by water softeners. 90% of minerals are removed except for trace amounts of salt. I do filter my soft water but add Dr. Berg's electrolyte powder and it seems ok.
You would have to drink gallons of water in order to get any benefit from the amount of minerals in your water. Eat your veggies. Be happy because when you rinse with softened water there won't be soap scum left behind on your skin.
Never fails. Every time I have a problem, Dr. Berg has the answer. Just ordered the electrolyte supplement. What can I do today, while I wait for my order to arrive? I watched your other videos and have implemented changes in my diet.
He is the best doctor I have ever come across on RU-vid. I have started using probiotics capsule after watching his video. My gut has never been better! We are so lucky to be in the same genaration as Dr. Eric Berg
Do a follow-up video to this one that goes further into the balances, specifically what vitamins/minerals are used to absorb these electrolytes in a useful manner, and which ones hinder the absorption of others. I remember one video where you discussed the issue with sodium and another mineral, and you said it may be because we're adding too much salt, and it's hindering the absorption and to lower your salt intake some, so that the other mineral can be absorbed better, and the problem should go away. I'm terrible with how imprecise I am, but I can't remember what the other one was, maybe selenium or magnesium, and maybe it was about leg cramps?
My sodium & chloride were low, about a week ago . I got dizzy, lasted 30 seconds.. or so. It was scary, had to hold on to something to steady myself until it passes. Now I know why, electrolytes were low. So I'll stop taking my diuretic pill along with my B. P. Medications, easy fix. Thanks doctor, for breakdown. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I think other doctors should watch Dr Berg before they go diagnosing and putting people on unnecessary medications, most ailments are from what we are either eating or not eating...thank you Dr Berg!!! God bless🙏🙏🙏
A very valuable video for me, and I thank you!!! 5 years ago I was hospitalized with what they finally figured out was SVT. The doctors wanted to put me on horrid drugs which I refused to do. Through diet and research I beat the SVT, but still continue with horrible charlie horses during the night. Lemon water helps most days, but they still persist. At 107lbs. I drink 96 oz of water a day, way more than I need. I added lots of salt to my diet, and eat a banana each night. I will certainly try your electrolytes. Thank you for all you do. I love you.
Get ALOT MORE POTASSIUM. Daily potassium requirements are 4,700 mg which basically no person accomplishes. Must have supplement to even get even a modicum of potassium, no matter how many potassium foods get in. I used to experience horrible tachycardia for years that was solved with potassium suppl.
I experienced this a few years ago. I went into a-fib. Once my electrolytes were straightened out, my heartbeat corrected itself. When this happened, I had a vibration in my chest and left shoulder.
Many people are going salt free thinking it's better for them per their doctor. Table salt isn't, as is going without a good salt, like Himalayan. I've seen the side effects in many who've not maintained potassium levels. Very important to health. Thank you for this info.
Hi Susz smith. What do you mean with "Table salt isn´t" ?? Whats the difference between normal salt without fluoride but with iodine and Himalaya Salt?
@@madlenj.4644 Himalayan salt has no iodine can cause hypoactive thyroid in iodine deficient people. A pinch of iodized salt is enough to avoid goiter. I don’t know if still happening now. A few years ago a concern about the rise of goiter as a result of people cooking with sea salt and Himalayan salt that don’t contain iodine. I retired 2013 but I used to attend medical and nutrition conferences and topic about the rise of goiter was brought up.
Make sure you use iodised salt. Your thyroid needs iodine. I followed Dr's advice to cut out salt bc of high blood pressure and ended up with messed up thyroid bc of iodine deficiency. Thanks Doc.
I listened to the no salt BS decades ago and ran out of salt while backpacking in the wilderness. Fortunately we found some other humans a mile away who had salt, so 1 peanut butter and salt sandwich later I was good again, but it damaged my thyroid's performance.

I've Actually use your demo setup as like a rheostat or a variable switch to reduce the RPMs on a DC motor the more minerals you add the faster the motor will run !
On my 2nd order of Dr.Bergs' Electrolytes. I take it with lemon water during fasting. Also have noticed increased concentration and endurance with your Trace minerals. Great Video! Thanks again ! 👍👍👍
I’ve had debilitating muscle cramps (legs, hamstring and lower back) for the last three yrs. I got an MRI to check for herniated disk was cleared and after seeing three specialists all they came up with were steroid injections (which didn’t work either) and muscle relaxants. Then few months ago I started taking a magnesium supplement and adding sports electrolyte powder to my water and noticed the cramps would lessen and I could walk and bend down normally. But then after a few days they would come back. When I noticed this pattern I looked up different types of cramping and it’s causation. I stumbled upon articles that talked about HEAT CRAMPS. So I started applying ice around my neck, taking cold showers and sitting in air conditioning more which lowered my body temperature significantly. After a week of that cramps have been gone for good. All those doctors visits, mri and pills was for nothing. None of them suggested that my cramps might be heat cramps. Incredible. I suffered for three yrs. Sometimes it’s something this simple. I couldn’t believe it and still can’t till this day.
I see now how wrong I have been. I walk several miles a day on average often superseding 200 miles per month. I generally put electrolytes in my water supply in summer, but have not done so in winter. I add only citrate electrolytes, but never chlorine in the form of salt (sodium chloride), or calcium. Your videos on electrolytes are of value and I will add them all year long to my daily water supply. Now then, should I also add Zinc to my home blended list, or take Zinc separately with meals?
This came literally at the perfect time. I started eating 2 meals a day instead of 3 and a lot of days just 1 meal with snacks and lately I’ve been getting this pressure in my feet and shins. I’ll try this and come back. Edit: I also never mentioned how much information your videos actually provide… not even just pertaining to the video but the minerals themselves that I will remember for the rest of my life. Not only me but others two experiencing problems and I can pass the information onto others.
I love your Dr. Berg Potassium supplement. I use it every day, and was KEY to me being able to reduce my blood pressure from ~190/110 in May 2021 to 110/60 a year later and my BP is still 110/60or lower. Resting pulse is now 58bpm.
This is so important and it needs to be said that our daily constant exposure to more emfs than ever is partially to blame for chronic issues with electrolytes and dehydration. The recent trend of drinking distilled water is terrible too.
I had arrhythmias, and panic attacks due to no electrolytes. My whole body was way way out of balance, and severely under nourished because I was only drinking water for several days. I was drinking a lot of water because I had a bad cold. For colds, more than fluids are necessary. I went off the deep end and a bad doctor made things worse by prescribing Xanax. I got worse and worse and worse. And worse. Luckily I barely survived.

Really alarming how sick our society is. So many still legitimately think they need sugary drinks like gatorade for electrolytes and run to grab them when hungover. All we really need is a pinch of salt and lemon in some water. Also have to mention that the marketing of Gatorade to children under the guise of a "sports drink" is simply evil, masking the fact that it's nothing but addictive candy water, and the companies know it.
@@gerardocamachoacosta6413 You just need a pinch or two of himalayan or sea salt in lemon water. Lemon juice and salt have potassium, calcium and magnesium. When dissolved in water the salt (NaCl) breaks down into its component ions: sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-). These charged particles can conduct electricity, thus are considered an electrolyte. Once consumed the electric charge can be readily utilized by your body.
@@PeaceIsYeshua Can you tell what brand of magnesium oil I am having these muscle spasms almost everyday. I started using a magnesium oil but it does not help! Thankyou in advance!
I also believe they are taking salt out of the food, labeling it as bad. Watch the animals, if an animal will stand and lick a salt block for a good 10 minutes I think we should pay attention. Especially if you are outside in all kinds of weather.
Appreciate SO MUCH what your teaching!!! Very excited about healthy life and telling others! Most people don't realize that their doctors are treating their symptoms and not their problems, EVERY problem/symptom starts in the gut!!! Gotta have those electrolytes to function!
Got called into little brother's school cause he was having chest pains around the region of the heart - doctors found nothing. 2 weeks later, I went to pick him up again and this time he was dizzy with a headache. Doctors found nothing again. He still gets these headaches so I'll try to get him some electrolyte solutions. He does drink a lot of water. Thanks Dr Berg, from 🇿🇦
ALL of these things (well, except blood clots) happened to me about 1.5 years ago. I had to quit work and it took me 6 months to get back to normal. I focused on electrolytes, vitamins and minerals every day.
I had the same exact loud pulse rate, leg cramps and vertigo and fatigue when I tried to fast on water alone. Now I've stocked up on Dr. Berg's electrolyte powder.
Dr. Berg I am so happy I happened upon your channel. I have been having horrible painful Muscle Spasms in my legs my doctor has me on a prescription medicine that I take nightly. I hate when it’s time for bed for fear of the vice squeezing my legs. Thank you so much. Electrolytes is the answer. My doctor will be questioned and told. God always leads us. I do believe ✝️ Bless you sir.
I started having frequent arrythmias (PVCs and PAC's). It was found during an EKG from a routine physical and subsequent treadmill Stress Test. Although the doctor assured me they weren't serious, he couldn't explain why I was experiencing them. I purchase a home EKG device (6 lead) and used it about 5 times a day to try to determine triggers. I found that I was probably low in electrolytes. I started drinking sports drinks daily and the frequency of PVCs and PACs reduced. After 2-3 weeks they've all but disappeared (one instance in the last 10 days). So if you are experiencing arrythmias, try to boost your electrolytes. Caveat: sports drinks actually don't have a lot of electrolytes so you have to boost them. Add a pinch of potassium (from salt substitute) and a pinch of baking soda.
I had this lack of eletrolytes and keto FLU once and cured it with lots of greens salads and leafs. Some keto youtube vlog suggested that and it cured my keto flu.
Thank you doctor. I am 63 and had about 90% of the symptoms shown. I got myself some electrolytes powder and i am already starting feeling better. I am a Porphyria sufferer and i thought me getting all these symptoms had something to do with that. Clearly not.
