1:10 Vitamin B12 deficiency causes
9:45 Learn more about folic acid!
A huge percentage of the population is deficient in vitamin B12. So today, we’re going to talk about what causes a vitamin B12 deficiency.
A person deficient in vitamin B12 could experience irreversible damage, primarily to their nervous system and brain. A vitamin B12 deficiency could also lead to heart damage, anemia, depression, and other health issues.
Vitamin B12 is in red meat and isn’t present in plants. A well-known cause of vitamin B12 deficiency is a lack of animal products in the diet. If someone is vegetarian or vegan, they need to take a natural vitamin B12 supplement.
Causes of vitamin B12 deficiency many people are unaware of:
1. H. pylori infection
Remedies:
• Broccoli sprouts or broccoli microgreens
• Garlic
• Probiotics
• Clover or manuka honey
2. Metformin
Remedies:
• Natural vitamin B12 supplement
• Benfotiamine (vitamin B1)
3. SNPs
Remedies:
• Natural vitamin B12 supplement (methylcobalamin)
• Consume foods high in vitamin B12 (red meat and beef liver)
4. Synthetic folic acid
Remedies:
• Avoid folic acid and take methylfolate instead, if necessary
5. Laughing gas
Remedies:
• Take natural vitamin B12
6. PPIs
Remedies:
• Avoid PPIs and take natural vitamin B12

PPIs also deplete B12. If you take methylcobalamin then you need to supplement adenysocobalamin because, while hydroxo or cyanocobalamin break down to methyl and adenyso, methyl is already broken down and doesn't do much good without the adensyo. Methyl is also expensive and doesn't last in the body long as long as hydroxo or cyano. Not everyone can tolerate methyl (I can't). Cyanocobalamin is the only form of b12 I can tolerate and while it is synthetic it is still effective. I have Pernicious Anemia (diagnosed 7 years ago) and have done a lot of research on causes and treatment of B12 def. I think it is irresponsible of you to only recommend methylcobalamin when that treatment is not effective for everyone.

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.

Always take the B complex, liquid form. That way your body absorbs it. You hold it under your tongue 30 seconds. B vitamins are water soluble and don't accumulate in the body. Dr. Berg is talking about folate build up in some people. Make sure you get the methylfolate.

@S J I literally feel like I am dying! I have been terribly sick for 2 1/2 years, it started in early 2021 with numbness and tingling in my left foot. The symptoms have gotten steadily worse and worse, to the point where I have numbness, tingling, pain in both feet and legs, muscle weakness, and extreme daily fatigue. When the fatigue hits me, I feel like I have just been hit by a truck, like the life has been sucked out of me. I have been to so many drs (including naturopaths, chiropractors, as well as regular allopathic drs), but supposedly they can't find anything wrong. I have had multiple b12 blood tests, and they are "normal". I don't care what the tests say, I think I have a serious b12 deficiency, and I am taking matters into my own hands, because I don't want to die. I ordered injectable b12, and I am planning to inject it every day for 3 months.If it doesn't help, I guess I don't know what else to do, and I will probably die.

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. 😊✨🌷

Dr Berg, I really enjoy your videos. Many of your lessons I had to learn the hard way and it took me years. I was bit by a tick in 2016 and was infected with several tick borne diseases. It took over a year to be diagnosed, so it was pretty much chronic by then. Antibiotics were useless, unless I did heavy amounts of them via IV. I chose to do things naturally. All the Lyme literate doctors do agree that you have to make lifestyle changes above all. Fixing my diet, paying attention to all the ways to get good vitamins, fats, carbs, etc. Learning about what exactly is going on in my body and ways to improve it worked for me…and some hyperbaric oxygen therapy too. Thank you for making these videos. They help me remember more about the needs of my body the natural way.

Alcohol can cause this particular loss. If you don't have it, oral supplementation of b12 will be largely ineffective.

Thank for this video. I've been watching a few now and I like the information. I'm suffering long term health issues from a covid infection waaaayyy back in September 2021. Male.. 37 when infected. Now 39.. quality of life is 4/10 Was previously doing 15 mile bike rides on a weekend effortless. Now spent a weekend building IKEA furniture and it's Fatigued me. 😓 Now have insomnia..unrefreshing sleep. I've been to GPs here in the UK who are misinformed/negligent, I'm having a nightmare getting back to full health. Totally blown my perception of doctor's here. All the tests were done multiple times over 18 month's. Blood work. Echocardiograms. x-rays endocrinologists.. neurology.. Cardiologists. and I'm apparently normal I'm convinced(hoping) my continued issues are from the gut. My "long covid" started with gut Issues and I recall it. I had/have a lot of gas , Fatigue and muscle weakness. TMI. I had a colonic and felt better almost immediately. A week later I'm improved, Alot less gas, and it was noted by the nurse that I have soo much trapped gas durin the procedure... and I mentioned SIBO.. she said possibly... and could be the case? Does that give me a clue that something is out with my gut causing all my Issues. When I was admitted to a&e back in 2021 they the glorified flow chart followers "doctors" gave me co-amaxclav anti biotics ona two week course.. (For a virus??) Back then I was indoctrinated into the doctors know best so blindly followed their lead. I was told it was Incase I got pneumonia....(I didn't have pneumonia at the time as a chest x-ray 🩻 showed I'm still unwell, Fatigue, deconditioned.. me/CFs like symptoms but still working.. and small crashes . Occasionally short of breath/pressure headaches... memory issues. I've recently upped my iron supplementation and and added lactoferrin and added beef spleen and felt better... Hard to tell what's working.. self experimenting. I take b1/ NAC sporadically... Had B12 injections felt better for like 2 days.. However if my gut isn't absorbing via food or supplements or my body isn't producing these what's the point.. 😅 If I'm supplementing, there must a be a reason my body isn't sourcing these naturally from my diet, perhaps something interfering in my metabolism, perhaps the virus is still in me or my immune system is gone haywire.. Any suggestions from people here Where do I start! Would Dr berg do a video on long covid? And suggest that a gut issue could be the cause for some ? (I know some are very very unwell with Long Covid and saying it's just the gut is simply not going to fly) Thanks 🙏

Awesome idea! Herbs healed generations of humans in all cultures only to be banned by Big Pharma run corrupt governments in 193 countries. It was called pharmacognosy then, and it's a vast knowledge our doctors are not studying in medical schools anymore since after the war.

Hi Dr. Berg, can you make a video with eating recommendations for people who had bariatric surgery e.g. A gastric sleeve? Reason I'm asking is that when trying intermittent fasting and having less meals as you recommend, it poses an issue for people who do not have the stomach capacity to eat enough in 2 meals. Would love to hear your views as I respect all your advice. Thank you for all you do!

[@KETO_DIET]

It does not apply to you. It might take you 10 hours or what ever it is to get enough food in you. Do a video search for bariatric surgery on his channel.

[@evadavies9624]

i love your videos , they are so informative . I watch them and bits jump out and seem to make complete sense to me and my health . My question is where do you start to get answers ? I been to my doctors before for blood tests but noting ever gets flagged vitamin wise they are just determined its stress and want to give anti depressants . Ive had issues with nerve pain in my neck ,shoulder ,upper back , elbow all on one side .However im now getting intermittent throbbing in the other elbow too. Ive watched this and other videos which show the damage b12 deficiency can cause and it makes sense to me that there could be an inbalance but trying to get someone to listen is like banging your head against a wall . I know we are told we shouldnt use you tube as a diagnois tool but when you feel unheard its hard not to ?

[@fidelcatsro6948]

Vitamin B12 is in red meat and isn’t present in plants. A well-known cause of vitamin B12 deficiency is a lack of animal products in the diet. If someone is vegetarian or vegan, they need to take a natural vitamin B12 supplement. Causes of vitamin B12 deficiency many people are unaware of: 1. H. pylori infection Remedies: • Broccoli sprouts or broccoli microgreens • Garlic • Probiotics • Clover or manuka honey 2. Metformin Remedies: • Natural vitamin B12 supplement • Benfotiamine (vitamin B1) 3. SNPs Remedies: • Natural vitamin B12 supplement (methylcobalamin) • Consume foods high in vitamin B12 (red meat and beef liver) 4. Synthetic folic acid Remedies: • Avoid folic acid and take methylfolate instead, if necessary 5. Laughing gas Remedies: • Take natural vitamin B12 6. PPIs Remedies: • Avoid PPIs and take natural vitamin B12 Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿

Thank you Dr Berg. I have been taking a B12 injection for over 20 years, and it’s the synthetic version. I had no idea that was NOT the best option. I tried to find information on the differences, harm, etc of the natural vs synthetic, and there’s not a lot out there. Wish I had known about this before. Thank you for always giving thorough information!

Good luck obtaining Methylcobalmin. Pharmacies do not carry it and because it is low or no profit, pharmaceutical companies don't supply it.

Peripheral neuropathy affects much more than the bottom of the feet. It often goes up to the mid-thighs, and can cause carpal tunnel pain in the wrists and firearms. Benfotiamine is an OTC that is prescribed for neuropathy.

After taking some information from Dr Berg to heal my gut, I got off of PPE but continued to take the b12 I had to be on. Blood tests said it was way to high, so I quit them before my Dr advised...just for them to advise it 😆 Do your homework and look into the meds you're taking, quit relying on others to fix your health and life. I wish I knew then what I know now...could have avoided cancer.

This is quite true. I’ve been on antidepressants on and off, yet the depressive symptoms never seemed to subside. Over the past two years, I had become very forgetful, lethargic and irritable. I recently came to know that I’ve vitamin B12 deficiency and I’ve been taking a dose every day since the past two months. I’ve started seeing the effects of it already. I haven’t yet stopped my antidepressants yet but on all other factors mentioned above, I’m doing a lot better.

Found the most effective relief from the SSRI aftermath was fasting combined with vitamin B1/Benfotamine. It wasn’t until fasting though that I was able to come out of that 6+ year nightmare totally. Going to grab some methacobolmin B12 today to help offset my Metformin therapy but the KETO/IF/OMAD was the game changer. You got this…
