In this video, we’re going to talk about a loss of smell and what you can do about it.
There are multiple types of loss of smell:
• Anosmia - Total loss of smell
• Dysosmia - Distorted sense of smell
• Hyposmia - Reduced ability to smell
The potential causes for a loss of smell include:
• Infections (especially covid-19)
• Injury
• Allergies
The key trace mineral that supports smell is zinc. If you have a zinc deficiency, you can lose your sense of smell. If zinc doesn’t help, what can you do?
Well, let’s talk about what’s involved in your sense of smell. The olfactory nerve or bulb is the brain tissue responsible for processing the sense of smell. You have around 10 million receptors in each sinus that communicate with the olfactory bulb and the brain.
If there is an injury to the olfactory bulb due to trauma, infection, or allergies, this can lead to problems with your smell.
The best nutrients to support the olfactory bulb are:
• Zinc
• Vitamin B1 (benfotiamine)
• Alpha-lipoic acid

Dr. B, I hope you see this. I am nearly in tears right now. I have anosmia for over a decade due to nasal polyps & surgery. Could smell just 0%-5% of the time. Bought the items you recommended last evening. Took just one dose. Woke this morning and prepared your Electrolyte powder with lemon juice & ACV and when I opened the Electrolyte powder container I could not believe that I could smell the flavor. Tested my sense of smell on a bottle of essential Peppermint oil and the scent was so strong. It's as though that part of my brain is now awake! Thank you so much Dr. B.

Long time ago I lost my sense of smell and taste (I think these two senses are related) due to a nasal spray. I read that applying one or two drops of warm castor oil would help to restore the sense of smell. I did it only once, and it worked amazingly well and very fast. I just wanted to share this, as it helped me and I hope it helps other people.

Tnx for sharing 👍 Question- is that a drop inside each nostril?

[@camila72]

@@letuswrap Yes, one or two warm drops in each nostril.

[@MindsetWithJosh]

The same thing happened to me. Was the nasal spray Zicam? It's unfortunate how some companies don't test their product enough and we end up being the guinea pigs. I'll try out the castor oil solution. Intriguingly enough, I already ordered some a few days ago for other purposes!

[@camila72]

@@MindsetWithJosh The brand of the spray I was using is Olynth (I live in the Czech Republic, and this brand has different sprays). I could see that this spray was very strong and effective to unblock the nose, I didn't over use it, but after the second day I realized that I couldn't smell or taste anything. I started panicking as I love perfumes and good food, so not being able to enjoy them was, is and would be terrible for me! I hope the castor oil helps you, for me it worked amazingly well. I don't use these sprays anymore, I prefer to use more gentle and natural products. Please let us know if it works for you, in case you try it. My best wishes to you all the way from Prague.

Dr Berg has one of the best channels. We're very fortunate he is so willing to provide these perfect sized, mini-tutorials! There are anti-viral preventative and early treatments for Covid-19 but they are not presently supported by NIH or FDA. Like antibiotics which encouraged adapted bacterial strains, vaccinations may encourage selective virus mutation. It's critically important that new variant mutations are not permitted to replicate. Meanwhile, Dr. Berg provides valuable information for those suffering from loss of smell. Thanks Dr. Berg!

You can have a negative test, and have COVID as well. My cousin even went to the ICU for weeks, he never had a single positive test (pre-vaccination time, had no risk factor). I had bronchitis last December with loss of smell (PCR tested negative), I also had the the same/similar symptoms again this week with loss of smell again (omicron agian, no test performed, outside 30°C ; ☀). But the symptoms are pretty obvious (sore throat, fever >39°C, muscle pain, night sweat,, cough with phlegma, total loss of smell for 1-2 days, although cough last December was more severe than now). I never had any fever and hardly temperature when I got a cold in the pre-pandamige time. Because of my knee arthosis, I take glucosamin and chondroitine supplements, which contains zinc (~ 7- 15 mg/d zinc since the beginning of the pandemic). May explain why my loss of smell only lasted 1-2 days. No running nose, but the smell cells in the nose for sure felt inflamed during that loss of smell phase.

Good luck! I lost my sense of smell about the same time with a cold. It took about 6 months to get a little bit back. I still feel like I am operating at 25%. But I remember how scary it was for me when I first thought my smell was gone. So I am in deep sympathy with you. I read somewhere to keep trying to smell things like vics vaper rub and it might be able to retrain. Good luck. My thoughts are with you.

@@christieoquin0045 HA! When I lost my sense of taste a commercial came on for pizza and it's all I wanted! ...and a big dish of pasta too. I've been doing all the things...the burnt orange with brown sugar, fresh ginger juice, smelling essential oils, zinc lozenges, vitamin c, omega 3 oils, and a multi vitamin. Have you tried any of these? I'm not sure if it's just time or some of the aforementioned but my smell has def improved and taste seems to recover a little bit each day. I feel you though girl...it's the worst.

Dr Berg, could you do a video on the effect of keto diet on hallucination olfactory? Medical science cannot explain why some people smell cigarette smoke (burnt toast, burnt rubber, etc) when they aren't there. Why is this heightened while on Keto?

[@queensaxy6389]

It's probably heightend due Ketones in the brain. Which may affect the olfactory nerves.

Dr. Berg --- thank you so much for this video. I have been going through a awful distorted sense of smell for over 3 weeks. I had COVID in January and in April I had a sense of smelling gas. it has been driving me crazy. it was so strong that it caused headaches, nausea, and my eyes to burn like fumes getting in them. It got to the point I held a candle lighter around me to see if I was putting off fumes. I have never had anything like this in my life and hope and pray this stops it. I got some benfotiimne and Alpha Lipoic Acid and zinc. I plan on taking 4 of each a day. You did not give how many of ALA and Zinc to take so I hope I am doing right. Maybe this will help my neuropathy also. THANK YOU AGAIN. I will let you know how this works for me.

She should maybe get a brain scan? It could be something wrong causing her to smell like that.

[@advancedtechnology1775]

It’s not necessarily a disorder. I’m so sensitive to smell my nickname could well be blood-hound. I can’t wear most fragrances. All are overpowering. As you get stronger (more healthy) it becomes more manageable. Key thing is to stay away from synthetic poisons and substances in general and use nothing artificial on your body. If you can’t eat it, don’t use the cream, lotion, or cosmetic. My kitchen provides all dermatological and skin care needs. Animal fat is a great moisturizer and skin conditioner.

No, her case is definitely pathological. She suffers. And it hasn't always been that way yet it's not clear with what it all started. She doesn't use or wear any fragrance(of course not) Sometimes she even has a hard time to pass the floor of her building because of the (typical) chemicals her neighbor's use for their laundry. It's not about not liking the smell. She gets severe headaches because of mundane smells. Almost like passing out. i don't use anything either yet she can't stand the smell of my clothes sometimes, because it smells too strong from the(not burned) incense sticks that actually didn't even touch my jacket or got close to it.( but were indeed in the same room). I call her a hound, too. But her sense of smell is far beyond being just sensitive. I aggree with the comment that says brain scan. Eventually she has to do one, that's right..Or maybe she already has, I have to ask her.

10 years ago I had to have a surgery on my nose because they found a cancerous tumor the kind of look like a wart but basically had attacked the cells around the area. By the time that they got all the cancer off of my nose I had no nose. I had a hole in the middle of my face all the way down to the bone. I was truly lucky in the fact that some wonderful human being donated a soft tissue transplant on their passing to me the same exact day that I had my surgery to remove the cancer. I still have the donor nose and I still do not have a sense of smell. I understand that there are electronic nose devices that are available to those persons that cannot smell anything. can you help me with further knowledge of these devices?
