Vitamin B12 Deficiency - The most common Cause – Dr. Berg

Hey , guys .

Doctor Berg here .

In this video , I wanna share with you the most common cause of a B12 deficiency .

But let's just talk about what b 12 is .

It's an essential b vitamin that you must get from your diet .

And what it does is it makes these little things called nucleic acids , which which are the foundational genetic material for your cells .

So basically , they make the foundation of red blood cells , white blood cells , and myelin .

What is myelin ?

Myelin is the outer covering of your nervous system , and it allows the connectivity of nerve impulses to travel .

When you lose myelin , you have all sorts of electrical problems , pain problems , nerve problems , pain , MS , all sorts of things .

So that's what happens when you're deficient in that .

But you can also become fatigued , pale , memory problems , dementia , Alzheimer's , neurological issues like peripheral neuropathy with even with , like that's foot pain or hand pain , anemia .

Kind of you're completely you know , there's there's something called pernicious anemia .

I'm not gonna get into that , what it is , but it comes from b 12 deficiency .

But most b twelve deficiency does does not come from necessarily the diet .

It comes from the stomach not being acid enough , low stomach acid .

Okay ?

Because it takes a very strong acidic stomach to absorb b 12 into the body .

And a lot of people have a problem with the pH in their stomach .

Normally , a pH in the stomach should be between 1 and 3 , which is really , really acidic .

The way you know you have low stomach acid is you have acid reflux , GERD , gas , bloating , because the stomach is needed to be able to close the valve , digest protein , absorb minerals like calcium , iron , all these different minerals .

One third of everyone over the age of 65 has a b 12 deficiency , but they all also have a low stomach acid problem .

So it's a really simple solution to fix a big problem .

So what do we recommend ?

Apple cider vinegar .

K ?

Apple cider vinegar pills or just go ahead and start drinking with your meals with some water , with a little straw , and that will create some really cool changes for a lot of people just by adding that one little thing in there .

And you'll you don't even need to take more b 12 .

You can just go ahead and acidify the stomach and a lot of things clear up and you start to absorb b 12 .

So it's a real simple , simple solution .

Now to build the stomach acid , you also need certain healthy salt , like in sea salt , because a lot of times when you're low in sea salt , the acid goes down .

Also , you need potassium .

It comes from the vegetables , so you need potassium to build the acid , also iodine .

So you do need these minerals as well .

So if you're taking antiacids or you're just eating poorly or you're not taking enough minerals and eating healthy , you will lose the stomach acid and then you start having a problem with this , so it's a whole chain reaction .

Okay ?

So go ahead and plug this in as far as to fix this and see how much better you feel .
