Restore Your Sense of Smell

[@aubgriss2009]

We were told to take more zinc for loss of taste and smell. We actually never lost either when we had covid, and my husband is prediabetic. We took extra zinc the entire time.

[@AveryMilieu]

You know, when I was taking a lot of zinc I more or less lost my sense of taste. Ran out, didn't buy more and the metallic taste in my mouth (sort of like galvanized garbage can) went away. Take it with more caution these days.

I eat a very low sugar diet, lots of fish, veggies, berries, etc. Been supplementing with zinc, D + K, vitamin C and NAC throughout the pandemic. Contracted Omicron and lost sense of smell immediately. My brother and his wife, both diabetics had it too and didn't lose their sense of smell. So, I think it can be hard to say why some people do and some don't. I will do olfactory training and hope it will help it return soon.

Interestingly, after someone accidentally blew cigarette smoke in my face two weeks ago, I smell smoke all the time now. Very disconcerting!!!!!

[@SmokeRingHalo]

Had anosmia for years. Always thought it was from my decades of smoking. Then I got sinus surgery and they removed a lot of polyps and my smell came back.

[@subiyota]

Did your polyps come back?

[@themajesticstick5262]

How are you doing now?

40 units of insulin?! That’s a lot, does it have effect on blood sugar? What kind of insulin? Long acting or fast acting?

[@truthseeker3094]

Thanks Doctor💐... Please Make a video on hearing loss /temporary hearing loss,its causes and solutions and the diet to avoid. I have been suffering low hearing off late. I think some fruits like walnuts, waternuts may have affected my hearing.

[@lawrenciagyasi4877]

Thank you Dr. Berg.

[@Drberg]

You're most welcome.

[@leannegardiner1212]

I've had loss of smell for the last 4 years caused by nasal polyps. I've recently (the last month) started intermittent fasting, and my smell has started to return, which is life changing for me. Thank you for this video, it explains everything so well 😊

[@Drberg]

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing your story here. Take care.

[@fernanjoan104]

I have nasal polyps, which is why my sense of smell was impaired. But I did notice that being on ketosis brings back my sense of smell... not conpletely yet... but it is there now... this is a good video.

Hello doc. May I ask, now I'm in my 30s, I hardly feel the urge to drink water or feel thirsty. Even when I wake up, still don't feel like drinking water. Why's that so? Cheers.

[@miclelleyohey979]

I have a severe lack of taste and smell you are my go to Doctor so I will definitely try your suggestion and see if I will have a testimony of thanking God for leading me to you 🙏🏼

[@VelvetMua]

I found out recently that I have gastritis and my ears and nose have been acting up. I smell burning wood and my ears get plugged 😢what can I do to change this? I want my taste back too.

[@mike4769]

Will this help with parosmia

[@jari2018]

Obviousy Berg hasnt lost his smell - One solution are take B3 vitamins ( but my pancreas dont like b3 as it dont like folic acid (b9) -ive lost pretty much but B3 gives me smell back and then i loose it again without the b3 every day.

Magnesium advocacy group says that synthetic vitamin d messes with how the body metabolises iron ; what is your take on this ?

[@resourcefulgirl]

My sense of smell decreased over 15 years ago. I knew I had a viral sinus infection but my sinuses seemed extremely dry but inflamed. After that I lost about 50% of my sense of smell. It's amazing how much I miss the depth of smell, like the leaves in the fall. I can only smell them slightly. The loss of smell is specific to certain things, other smells are fine like citrus. I'm a clinical educator and was still doing patient care 15 years ago. I could smell urine but not bowel movements. Doesn't seem like a bad thing to lose but in healthcare it all matters. I talked to another woman with the same exact problem and she told me she couldn't tell when her grandchildren's diapers needed to be changed.

[@Bleeperblopper497]

Please tell me how you're doing, I got the same viral infection but its affecting the sensation through my whole body

[@resourcefulgirl]

@@Bleeperblopper497 Mine was not from Covid. I have some smell just not all of it. Super selective. Nothing else going on with me I never get sick

[@fitwithbrittany2706]

Sounds like Mine. Also about 15 years ago. Wondered if it’s from zicam.

[@resourcefulgirl]

@@fitwithbrittany2706 I did use it a little bit so it could very well be. Oh well, so much for the FDA approval process

[@stanmarsh7149]

Genetic predisposition. My sense sense of smell has sucked bad for years. My dad for example has a sense of smell like a dog but I'm over hear like 'what smell?'

[@valerief1231]

Wait, Dr. Berg 40 UNITS? This should only be done under close observation in a safe environment, 40 units will defiantly cause Hypoglycemia. I’m an insulin dependent DM1 and can’t imagine a relatively healthy person with a working pancreas ingesting 40 units. For perspective, my pump distributes less than 2 units per hour, and when I bolus, or use insulin during a meal, I calculate the carbohydrates and “cover them” with insulin. So let’s say my blood glucose is 100, and my meal has 15 grams of carbohydrates, I would use approximately 0.7 units of insulin to stabilize my blood glucose/blood sugar.

[@99shelb]

I love how thorough your videos are and how you chart everything making it so easy to keep notes for future use 👍🏻 thank you for all you do for your audience !!

[@PaulYoungMinnesota]

ever notice that wihle chewing food and you run water over your hands, it heightens your sense of taste? Like cartoons where you see them rubbing their bellies- friction on the inside of hands seems to cause food to actually taste better. Any science to that?

[@yajson]

I still can smell but lesser and different, coffee smells different, I don't know what's happening.

[@thecrazydisneyparksfanatic921]

Anything is that since I had Covid my sense of smell has not been that great, like I can smell certain things but it’s like how well I smell it is not that great and there’s a lot of other smells I cannot smell

[@babewhowalks]

So, has anybody tried this-how long before you were able to smell again?

[@crickettrainingstudio9194]

Hi my sinus block from mucus when I’m taking prednisone my smell coming back but just for couple of months . Doctors recommended me to do sinus operation but I haven’t think about it. Do u think ur vitamins will help this loss of smell problem?? Advice me thanks

[@theluminousbrothers3990]

Why don’t people understand that the key to end the covid 19 pandemic is to be as healthy as you can it’s funny that once the vaccine came out the numbers were still rising despite the being vaccinated Mr. Berg, do you think it would be possible to create a video based on the benefits of eating Blueberries 🫐?

[@PrayingHandsministry]

This info is gold💯. Also Alpha Lipoic Acid helps with insulin resistance.
