Doctors are not taught about diet except for the most basic high school level, and they aren't taught about holistic or natural healing either - they are as ignorant or even more so than the average person, because their curriculum is sponsored by big pharma. All their know is giving you drugs to cover up symptoms or cutting out an offending dysfunctional part. The most knowledgeable people on diet are usually dieticians and chiropractors dieticians because that is their major in college, and chiropractors because they deal with natural/holistic type of healing and the diet aspect is a natural progression of their natural/holistic healing methods

?! Any competent physician knows the importance of educating patients on preventative care. And any nurse who paid attention in school knows that the physician uses their best judgement when prescribing, and is not forced to prescribe anything. (Nor do they "work for" pharmaceutical companies.) If the physician prescribes the patient a pill, it's because they used their education and best judgement to come to the conclusion that this is what is best for the patient's wholistic health. (i.e. The benefit of the medication to the patient is weighed against negative side effects of the drug.) Misinformation is not cute! Also remember that the nutritional supplements in this video are among the "pills Doctors push onto people". Edit: Yes, wholistic can be spelled with a "w". If you have similar concerns, seek a primary care doctor that is board-certified in Preventative Medicine.

You are the first person to explain my condition to me, pitting edema, and I've seen several doctors about it and they didn't help me understand it, they just thought it was weird. I honestly don't think most primary care doctors or NP's are trained in nutritional deficencies.

[@kime5776]

Uh pitting edema is actually more often than not a sign of cardiovascular disease rather than nutritional deficiency (depending on your age). Did you get it confirmed by blood tests that you are deficient in these nutrients? If not, it could very well be that your veins don't work as well as they should, or your heart, kidney, liver or lungs. These causes are highly dependent on age though, so if you are still young it's less likely to be these issues but if you are nearing 50 or above, those get increasingly more common.

[@redrobinhood3726]

@@kime5776 Dr. Eric explained that it is a dietary issue or lifestyle problem basically sodium to potassium is unbalanced as well has having too much sugar which depletes potassium. Eating green leafy veggies (full of potassium) pushed the fluids out of the feet and ankles. From my experience, when I am vegetable juicing and fasting, I do not get pitted edema. And I also do not get it when I cut out bread, sugar and reduce carbs overall. I chronically do not have enough potassium, Vit D, Magnesium, Calcium and B vitamins due to chronic stress.

Here in the UK, it is now extremely difficult to get a face to face appointment with a doctor. Most of the time, they will call back and speak over the phone, to see if you are sick enough to warrant an in person check up. Most people don't know what symptoms to look for. They just tell the doctor "I don't feel well" or "I've got pain in my back". If the doctor could examine them properly, he could see all the signs explained in this video and try to do something about them. The problem then is that he would probably prescribe some medication rather than give nutritional advice. Some Americans seem to think that the UK's health system is great. If you come to the UK on holiday, have an accident and get treated for free, I guess it is. But if you're waiting over a year for surgery, not so much. Our system is broken. Everyone should learn about and be responsible for their own health.

And my dark circles are starting to get less pronounced

[@daniby9894]

When you do the blood work check your levels of vitamin d and iron, becouse those can accumulate and cause huge issues, much more so than slight insufficiency. Often when you have D deficiency. If I were you, I'd also check B12 levels, becouse it's also important for your nervous system and absorption of vit d is correlated to the presence of b12 and sometimes people have issues with both. I'm no doctor, just a person who had issues with these deficiencies and was diagnosed by my family doctor.

[@daniby9894]

@iliana2003 Well, in theory vitamin C and B12 both play a role in iron absorbtion, just like the sun, the vitamin K, magnesium play a role in vitamin D and calcium absorbtion, but that doesn't mean you need to always take magnesium with your vitamin d... Now the thing is some people may be more or less defficient. Like last time I was anemic, it was after a long period of digestive issues and inspite that my diet was healthy, plus my periods are super heavy sometimes, becouse I'm getting closer to menopause and also absurdely the more anemic you get, the heavier your periods get...so I had developed some deficiencies and turned out having low B12 aswell. That said there are things that can interfere with your iron absorbtion like coffeen (careful with coffie, tea chocolate and avoid altoghether energy drinks) and also dairy which you don't need to eliminate, just limit tem, like if I'm having a meal rich in iron and taking supplements, I won't be having any dairy two hours before and after, my coffie has been limited to one in the morning after breakfast, but it's not the end of the world if you have another in the afternoon. Also if you combine in your meals iron rich food from animal sources(more bio available) and iron rich vegetables (less bio available), more iron gets absorbed. Also throw in some seasonal fruit and veggies that are rich in vitamin C, aspecially in your iron rich meals, like you can drizzle your stake or fish with some fresh lemon juice, if you like, or have an orange or a kiwi at the end of the meal instead of a desert, or have some cabbage salad... It really is a game changer in pulling up your iron levels in matter of a few months, but what's even better is that it making you feel much less tired in no time, like in my case I felt a slight improvement in my tiredness as first week was passing.

Hi Dr! I’m a Cosmetologist and I have a contradicting opinion on the first topic. While I was in school studying nails, we went over nail diseases and deformities, and we were taught that white spots on nails are actually due to something called Leukonychia which is an injury to the nail matrix. The matrix is the part of the nail/finger that creates the cells to form the nail plate and when that gets injured it can cause little white spots on the nail. Injury could be anything from bumping the backs of your fingers to closing a door on your fingers. Anyways I guess I’m saying this to let other people know in the comment section that the white spots on your nails might be a zinc deficiency but it could also just be because you’re clumsy.

The other reasons are sugar, grains, junk food, processed foods, no sunlight, drinking, drugs, caffeine, & smoking.

I started taking vitamin D about 18 months ago, I used to get very depressed especially in the winter months, but I have been depression free for about 18 months now, even dealing with the passing of my grandfather suprisingly well, I basically carried the rest of the family through that time. I highly recommend trying vitamin D supplements.

[@BrendenNichols]

I also take vitamin D on occasion. It has helped improve my skin dramatically and energy levels as well. I used to have dry skin around the sides of my nose like Eric Berg described, but instead of eating more omega-3s (which I know I should anyway), I simply supplemented with more vitamin D and the improvements were seen in only a couple of days. My mood was much different as well. Like you, I handle traumatic and stressful situations far better than I would have without a vitamin D supplement. The difference it makes is remarkable.

[@db3561]

Can y'all please put some light on how frequently should we consume the vitamin d supplements for good persistent results?

[@BrendenNichols]

@@db3561 Everyone’s intake needs are different, but in severe cases of vitamin D deficiency, 10,000 IU of daily supplementation is recommended especially if you don’t get much sun exposure. Have you gotten your vitamin levels checked recently at all?

[@minus3dbintheteens60]

He says 10,000IU in the video, which is about 10x 25mcg vitamin D specific pills, daily. My bloody test showed my vitamin D level was 9, yes 9, it's supposed to be like 120 or something. I only took 1 in the morning, 1 at night for a few months then just 1 a day, now I just take a multi-vite that contains around 10mcg once or twice a day. Anything will help, the more the better, but 10 a day of Blackmores Vitamin D3 1000IU can be quite expensive for some

As someone who suffers with depression, it's absolutely crazy to me just how much vitamin D controls all these functions in your body. I've lived so many different places. And I've battled depression my whole life. However, during the summer, or when I live somewhere where it's sunnier, I'm always happier. Winter rolls around or I live somewhere where it's colder, I'm absolutely miserable. Not just mentally, but physically as well. Extreme fatigue, muscle twitches, headaches, stomach problems. And I also noticed that my asthma gets so much worse when I live somewhere that has a longer winter, and this video just explained everything. How it seems to affect certain people more than others.

This is actually incredible and verified. I suffered for 20 years of flaking skin nearby my nose and forehead. I went to several dermatologist, every time some different drugs to kill mycosis, working for a while but 2 months without pills all the symptoms are back. 2 years ago went to a doctor who gave me 100+ different blood tests. The only wrong value I had was Omega 3 omega 6 balance (omega 3 deficiency). I spoke with 3 doctors about that but everyone told me it was not related at all to my skin and I had no corrective actions to take.. I decided on my own to buy supplements, like 30 dollars for one year. Took the first omega 3 pills along the mycosis suppressors and of course I had results, but in my mind these were drugs related only. After a short time, considering the doctors said the omega 3 was nothing important, I stopped taking omega 3, and again my skin condition floating every 3 months. 2 years later, just a month ago I went to the drug store to get again mycosis suppressors, but it was shut. Then I came back home and gave another try to these omega 3 that now are about to expire. I noticed my skin getting way better in just 2 weeks. All the symptoms are gone. No extra drugs but just the omega 3. Now I came across this video by chance, and my god what a revelation. How come no doctor, blood test in hand, would suggest omega 3 integration?? Cost me 5000 dollars of doctors and 300 dollars every third month in drugs only, and got lots of side effects. The food we eat it's 90% of our health. I hope more and more people can solve their problems with these suggestions!

I am overweight and don't have diabetes but my doctor prescribed me potassium pills and hydrochlothorazide to take together. It made me have a lot of issues because it gave my body a lot of nutrient deficiencies when all I needed was more Vitamin B2 and my normal exercise regimen. I was able to lose weight following your advice and looking for Vitamin deficiencies than taking medication for a problem I did not have.

[@bseidem5112]

Everyone has diabetes 10 yr before declared by a blood glucose test. The test to have is a fasting blood insulin test. Our glucose rises while our insulin is trying to shove the glucose down and then the insulin gives up and suddenly rises w/ the glucose= diabetes declared by the doc. Cure the fastest w/ the carnivore diet=very low carbs. Stand up and look down, see your stomach? You've got diabetes.

[@rwperson3553]

Not sure about the potassium (can be given for a lot of important things, like keeping your heart at a good rhythm) but hydrochlorothiazide is often a BP controller and it may have been prescribed if you have high blood pressure or if your blood is being congested somewhere like your legs (edema). Please consult with a doctor if that’s why it was given to you. Weight loss and exercise are both great, but if you have persistently high blood pressure, you could end up getting clots, heart damage, stroke, etc in the long term if you don’t find a way to lower it. Not trying to be a shill for pharma, just trying to look out for your health.
