I have 25 years on antidepressants. After starting my own journey with Dr. Berg I found out that I was lacking B12, vitamin D and potassium. Sea kelp and K2 also helped me. After 3 years of fatigue I have left my bed and have energi for the whole day and feel really good in a way that all the medication I took never did. Thanks 🙏🌱

My Dad was diabetic and on Metformin for years. Long story short, he was diagnosed with dementia by his family doctor. Ended up in rehab after a fall and found out his vitamin B12 was critically low. He started receiving B12 injections and seemed so much better. Unfortunately when his B level came up, they stopped the injection and he went straight back down hill and a few weeks later died from a stroke. If any loved ones seem to have dementia symptoms, B12 levels should be checked often.

Dr. Berg, thank you for the wonderful medical and holistic education you bestow on the world. As I am aging, just turned 50 in January, I am becoming more aware of how little traditional pharmaceutical medicine helps and how much quality supplements and food make a difference in one’s overall health. It’s quite astonishing how I can take a pill for something, it doesn’t fix the problem and adds another problem. Lol. However, I can eat or drink certain whole foods and supplements, and the original problem subsides significantly or goes away completely. I’m stunned daily at how informative and helpful you have been over the years. Thank you again. It’s good to know that you are out there doing this work. You are a true gift. 😊✨🌷

Wow...I wish I knew all this info before! I have severe depression, my retina detached, and I had to have emergency eye surgery, with the absolute WORST recovery..plus, now he's saying that B12 deficiency can cause permanent damage to my brain and to my heart. Going to my doc this week to check all my vitamin deficiencies..I pray that I'm not too late, and that B12, along with Vitamin D, will help me mentally and physically!!🙏🏼🙏🏼

thank you for all the informative videos! no doctor could help. i'm just glad to find more information to this problem and hopefully get better. with this new info, maybe i can pinpoint it better. my eye sight has been getting worse and still feeling anemic... i have been taking b12 which was helping before but my foot numbing has been coming back... your video informed that i was taking the synthetic one, so I might have bought the wrong bottle. it's good to know.
