hey guys dr. Berg here I’m doing this webinar on how to basically understand

what symptoms mean and evaluating your body symptoms based on what your body’s

trying to tell you now this is pre-recorded because the last webinar I

did it wasn’t the slides weren’t synced to my video so basically I was over here

but you’re like three slides behind so I want to just create up a video that

works so you can follow along okay so so I’m going to give you a lot of thumb

very cool if insights into what certain symptoms mean because the problem in

healthcare is there’s the management of symptoms there’s no real understanding

of what symptoms mean and what you should do about them so we’re going to

take it one step deeper look at the cause-and-effect relationships so you

could kind of spot something and know what’s behind it and it’s all related to

nutrition and we’re going to look at more visual things versus like

sensations like let’s say fatigue or that type of thing or depression we’re

going to look at skin nails hair lips like if you can look at either someone

or yourself and identify certain problems I can I’m going to teach you

what’s behind it okay so let’s get started let me just go right into the

slides okay evaluating your nutritional deficiencies

now the first thing I’m going to cover is I’m going to cover a little bit on

the nails so we have if you’re looking at either your nail or someone else’s

nail a lot of things can go wrong with the nail number one you can have

horizontal ridges that’s a b1 deficiency vitamin b1 deficiency so if you have

these ridges that go horizontal you need b1 now vitamin b1 by the way is the

first B vitamin that was ever discovered in the B family and then it goes vitamin

B two and three and four and five and six

the first item that was ever discovered was vitamin a and then B then C then D

and then he that was my dry sense of humor but that’s true that’s how they

develop these or discover these vitamins but b1 is the first B vitamin that they

discovered and basically it creates a series of problems but the nail is a is

a good way to identify if you’re deficient in b1 all right so horizontal

ridges all right now there’s a couple other deficiencies that occur with b1

one is cyanosis and what is cyanosis basically cyanosis means that your

circulation of your nail so let me just show you a picture that you got these

white nail beds so if you ever look at people and they just completely look way

too white that is a b1 deficiency because vitamin b1 is involved in

circulation so it’s kind of a white nail also you can have an enlarged heart on

the right side of your heart yep the left and right side of the heart the

right to the heart is influenced by me b1 and so when you’re deficient the

heart starts to get weaker and it starts to enlarge or atrophy and it shows up as

something bigger on an x-ray like you’ll see in a large heart that’s cardiomegaly

that’s really a b1 deficiency so the B vitamins are intimately involved in the

heart function the other thing is that you’ll have problems with the eye

muscles you ever see people will they have like wandering eyes or they’re

they’re cross-eyed whatever that is a weakness within the nerves to the eye

primarily the sixth cranial nerve and that’s also influenced by b1 okay be

when the efficiency can also cause edema in your ankles so if you ever see people

like like let’s say you press into the ankle and it leaves a dent

that’s a b1 deficiency now a lot of times people like wonder

like how do I get a B vitamin deficiency how do I get a b1 deficiency normally um

the history of this was involved with people consuming too much polished rice

that’s basically refined rice when they take all the nutrition out of the whole

rice and they basically have this refined white rice creating a b1

deficiency so and the same thing happens with grains if you have this whole grain

with all this B these B vitamins and then you strip it down you refine it you

turn into flour white flour and then they bleach it you’re going to create a

problem with b1 and the other B vitamins and that’s why they enriched divided

flour with synthetic vitamins you’ll see this flour is enriched okay but it’s

really enriched with synthetic vitamins it’s not the real thing

so b1 and other B vitamins fishin C’s are created by consuming too much

refined foods specifically the grains white rice flour as in bread pasta

cereal crackers biscuits while both pancakes

even white sugar okay so that’s how you create a b1 deficiency and just from a

subjective symptom of b1 deficiency you’re going to have a lot of nervous

tension like you’re gonna have worry you’re going to have anxiety you’re

going to have a lot of this buildup of stress low tolerance to stress that’s it

b1 deficiency I mean how many people have that so stress can deplete the B

vitamins and so can sugar and so can refined foods okay okay let’s talk about

brittle nails now brittle nails typically people they go a lot of women

they get their nails done and they keep putting surface shellac on it and nail

polish and they try to strengthen the nails and they do all these things to

try to fix the nail but if I was doing now I could actually identify brittle

very easily by determining the nutritional deficiency fixing that and

helping the person correct the real problem versus just filing it down but

brittle nails is usually a another B vitamin deficiency specifically biotin

which has another name for vitamin H but biotin will Craig brittle nails because

biotin is involved with the strengthening of proteins amino acids in

collagen that’s why it’s really good for hair but if you take too much of biotin

over time it can create a problem with causing deficiencies of other vitamins

and people can get acne so so I’d like to look at the whole picture and not

just try to fix a vitamin but look find out why you’re deficient in a certain

vitamin you know it has to do with your diet now how do you become deficient in

biotin well several ways number one you can eat a lot of raw egg whites okay

like when people put raw eggs in their shakes and things that can create a B a

biotin deficiency another way would be to you either find foods another way

which is connected with your gut see certain friendly bacteria in your gut

make biotin so a lot of people that are deficient in vitamin have an imbalance

in their digestive system so they need a good probiotic to build up that biotin

okay so those those are some of the things that that can happen

another thing with biotin deficiency would be the little the cuticle you get

all these peeling on your cuticle that’s a biotin deficiency and one good source

of biotin is nutritional yeast okay you can get it from Amazon I would

personally recommend going to Amazon and getting the non fortified nutritional

yeast which basically is without synthetics a lot of times nutritional

yeast they enrich you with synthetics which is it is a problem but it’s a

minor problem because naturally a nutritional yeast has a lot of natural B

vitamins so it’s not just all synthetic so it’s less of a problem if you have a

combination but I mean if you’re going to get it from Amazon might as well get

the the non fortified 100% natural B vitamins now why don’t they sell natural

B vitamins in a pill it’s very rare to find it it’s very expensive for example

if you they were to make biotin in a pill in a supplement it’s roughly about

eight hundred dollars a kilogram which is 2.2 pounds

I think it’s 2.5 or 2.2 pounds that’s eight hundred dollars right if you would

buy it synthetically it’s like maybe nine or ten dollars per kilogram so all

these vitamin D fashion companies are not giving you the natural version

they’re giving you a synthetic which come with problems down the road if you

take too much of it or too long a period of time I’m ok with taking synthetic

vitamins if they’re for a detox but any other reason I don’t like them so how do

you know if it’s natural or not you have to look at the source of where they get

the vitamin and anything that’s like over like if it says like six thousand

percent times the normal value or even a thousand times normal in the back of

label you know it’s synthetic because you can’t put that much natural

vitamin in a pill so that’s why you’re seeing all these synthetic vitamins

nowadays but anyway biotin deficiency can create a lot of problems of your

nails hair and definitely the cuticle and this is it keeps the nail nail shop

in business alright let’s go on the next one vitamin B

deficiency it creates a redness around the nose the cheeks and even the top of

the forehead this is a b6 deficiency and call it rosacea whatever you can call it

psoriasis it’s just a redness around that the nose area and on the nose as

well so it’s interesting the B vitamins create a lot of skin problems and a lot

of digestive problems a lot of hair and nail problems so you’ll see as we go

along so that’s the b6 deficiency again where do you get b6

b6 is actually easy to get from most foods

it’s an eggs it’s in vegetables it’s in a lot of different foods but it’s

usually the foods that are like junk food that pulls it out like refined

carbohydrates breads pasta cereal crackers biscuits waffles pancakes

that’s what’s pulling it out and yes it could be an allergy to gluten and things

like that but um I mean someone people are living on refined foods this is

what’s causing it okay a zinc deficiency will create those little white little

specks on the nail but if you the nail grows every six months so if you see a

white speck let’s say in the middle of the nail that’s like three months ago

you created that white speck now if we’re looking at the nail right here

it’s probably if we divide this now by six it’s probably like maybe two months

twenty percent of the nail two months ago

there’s a zinc deficiency that was created now what causes a zinc

deficiency eating a lot of carbon carbohydrate like in sugar so we can

pretty much tell about a month about two months ago they had a birthday party and

they ate the whole cake by this white speck on their nail so they ate a lot of

carbohydrate and so and I do this people and they’ve kind of freaked out like how

did you know that well because I’m I’m actually reading

and interpreting what your body is trying to tell me I understand the

language and this is what we’re trying to do in as webinars to teach you how to

read your body okay that’s the zinc deficiency but it’s really a sugar

deficiency the trace minerals which is like zinc which basically trace minerals

are minerals needed in smaller amounts um like selenium iodine zinc mulignan

things like that versus the bigger minerals like calcium magnesium sodium

potassium needing needed in larger amounts but we need the small trace

metals most people that I run into our deficient in trace minerals because the

trace minerals are no longer in the soils um unless you get food from places

that have volcanic soils I was in Grenada which is an island which is

basically they grow this chocolate this cocoa bean and they have the soils are

so rich with these volcanics these minerals from the volcano that it gives

incredible flavor to the cocoa bean and Switzerland and Belgium get their

chocolate from the island or they get it from Africa the same deal in Africa they

have the volcanic ash and the soil is rich and it gives the flavor of the food

and I tell you I believe that a lot of people’s that can live in the areas

where they had volcanic ash in the soils they they don’t seem to gain weight that

much even if they eat you know whatever they eat they also have good bone

structure they don’t have a lot of problems with their dental structure so

it’s hard to find these trace metals nowadays but that’s a zinc deficiency

thyroid thyroid problem will create vertical ridges up and down so that’s a

classic symptom vertical we just the thyroid will also create a lot of

other things like loss of collagen in the back of the arm

so will the adrenal and also it creates problems with hair loss and it will

create issues with bags with the eyes and a loss of the eyebrow on the outer

part so these are just little things that you can look at if you’re trying to

identify yourself and again I like to look at the whole body and not just take

one little symptoms that you have this deficiency I look at all the symptoms

and for those of you that as we go through this want to know like what

foods are high in certain nutrients I’m going to share a download little button

link below that you can download all these deficiencies like um basically

where to get zinc what foods are high in vitamin A etc so give you that data when

we’re done okay here’s a condition inflammation in the mouth and the lips

do little ulcers on the lip you’ll see them or skin rashes and things like that

and then there’s another condition which is inflammation in the corner or angles

of someone’s mouth called angular chalasis or Chile’s and that and you see

that a lot in kids or even in adults where you have this little cracking in

the corners of the mouth this is the vitamin b2 deficiency riboflavin um

personally I used to have this growing up course I lived at refined foods so

definitely it’s a b2 deficiency again where do you get b2 it’s in nutritional

yeast it’s in and it’s basically what you have to do to avoid having a

deficiency of it by avoiding the sugars and the refined carbohydrates and all

that so let’s go into the next one b3 deficiency vitamin b3 deficiency it’s

called pellagra now what is that it there’s a condition called glove and

stocking lesions where you have this severe scaly red irritated skin on

and the feet that’s a very severe b3 deficiency okay so you ever see it

that’s what it means but look what causes pellagra consuming

too much corn or consuming too much alcohol because corn is not very

nutrient dense and that can create a deficiency especially the corn that

people eat nowadays it’s GMO it’s the corn syrup and all that crap okay

b2 deficiency riboflavin here’s another one a bloodshot eyes

that’s a b2 deficiency jaundice now what is jaundice jaundice is a backup of the

liver into the bloodstream where you have a liver problem and you’re going to

your whites of your eyes are going to LA you’re skin will be tainted yellow this

is a congested gallbladder or a congested liver now if someone consumes

let’s say they consume a lot of carrot juice for example they will turn yellow

eventually or kind of an orange that’s not jaundice that’s just the

pigment that’s coming out that’s its Inanna it’s not a problem it’s not a

serious problem it just means that you got you’re doing too much carrot juice

and again carrot juice is just way too much sugar we don’t want to do that I

used to do a lot of characters I thought it was good for me but it basically

started creating blood sugar problems cuz there’s so much concentration sugar

even though there’s vitamins in it it’s still very very unhealthy okay so I’m

eating the whole carrot is is better okay let me just go back to these slides

ok jaundice vitamin A deficiency now vitamin A um is almost like a hormone

just like vitamin D it’s a fat type of vitamin it can go into the DNA of your

cells it can determine what your what cells turn into like if there’s a

problem with vitamin A you have this weird

growth on your skin on the eye and you can even have like a white little shell

or pigment right over your the black part of your eye the iris so you can

also have these little growths on your on your the whites of the eye as well so

it doesn’t have to be right over the eye could be on the side of the inside of

the outside that’s about an innate efficiency so anything to do with

vitamin A without skin or acne I always go to buy diamond a but what foods are

high in vitamin A you say vegetables yes it’s true but all vegetables like

specially like kale have tremendous amount of minute amounts like even with

spinach it’s like 30,000 in I use of vitamin A but that’s all a pre vitamin A

it’s not the actual active form of retinol which is vitamin A that you can

use so it has to be converted into the body and with some people they can’t

convert it that well some people they can but an average you might convert 4%

so where do you get your vitamin A from the fats from the butter from the oils

from the column oil but if your gallbladder and your liver is congested

you don’t have the bile to break down the vitamin A so so a lot of vitamin A

deficiency has come from a problem with the liver of the gallbladder and if you

especially like you don’t have the gallbladder they become deficient in

vitamin A so these are just kind of side notes so you might take bio may and not

see any change but I’ve noticed that when people start eating healthier and

they clean out the liver or they support the gallbladder all us and their skin

gets really good and their acne goes away that is because you’re absorbing

more about it maybe because you’re getting more bile output file is kind of

like the detergent and salt dissolves the grease okay one of the classic

symptoms of vitamin A deficiency has night vision issues you can’t see at

night everything comes blurry especially if

there’s bright oncoming traffic lights you’ll you have a

with them that’s the vitamin A deficiency now as you age and the liver

gets more congested you can even lose your just your vision you notice like

when you get in your forties fifties like your vision is just so bad that

could be about emanate efficiency as well but it’s really a liver problem

okay okay next slide here’s another vitamin A deficiency it’s kind of like

these little fever like by some chicken look at the skin you see those little

follicles your little red little bumps on the skin that and if you have that

like on your skin or behind the arm that’s a vitamin A deficiency I’m

telling you anything well with skin is usually connected vitamin A so so far we

have three main deficiencies that most people have a problem with that involve

the skin the hair the nails so which is basically like protein you have the fats

all the vitamins the trace minerals and the B vitamins those are the ones that

always show deficient in a lot of people

here’s another B 2 B 3 deficiency cracked corners of your heel like your

heels get really really dry that’s a b2 b3 deficiency so if you put lotion on

that thing you’re just treating the symptom but it’s interesting you go to

medical doctor you go to the dermatologist which they have in every

corner in Florida I mean I went down there I’m like wow they have so many

dermatologists and all they’re doing is they’re giving you cortisone creams for

everything for skin problems doing biopsies but they’re not even getting

close to the root problem at all alopecia okay what is that Ella pichia

is a biotin deficiency could be adrenal problems but it’s using a biotin

deficiency so you start getting these spots of loss of hair but again if your

diet is fairly good it’s probably coming from your gut you have some digestive

maybe you just a problem maybe you had it semantic biotics maybe you had some

leaky gut issues that could be coming from

something in the past and you’ve never got your digestion fixed so you got to

look at the whole whole picture here just taking biotin is not the answer the

answer is getting your whole diet corrected

biotin is also good for male pattern baldness and also thinning hair let’s

just touch on male pattern baldness in females and men a lot of times they’ll

say that’s an energy and efficiency but in reality if that was true why do men

have male pattern baldness well as they age when at the same time they’re

antigens their testosterone is decreasing how can that be

I mean if antigens are testosterone excessive amounts of estrogen or herbs

or excessive amounts of testosterone cause now part of all this doesn’t make

sense because it decreases with age well what happens really it’s an estrogen

excess that’s converted to a powerful estrogen called DHT so it’s an estrogen

problem men and women it’s just converted so if you have the right ratio

to estrogen to testosterone you won’t have this problem so and this is a side

note if you have a problem with this or you’re getting a loss of hair and then

in the head or in a male body you’re getting prostate problems a really good

remedy to help kind of correct the ratios of estrogen to testosterone is

something called stinging nettle root so get some of that that’s really good for

a prostate and also male pattern baldness and also if you’re just losing

hair and you’re female of course your own prostate go ahead and take it as

well okay iodine deficiency creates an enlarged thyroid in your neck or Gore’s

or nodules in the thyroid see here’s how if you’re all these little cysts on the

thyroid on the breast on the ovaries come from excessive estrogen but see

iodine protects the excess of estrogen so it competes with estrogen so if

you’re deficient iodine estrogen can create a lot of damage to your your body

especially a female body so if you have good amount of iodine in the diet from

seek help which I recommend get the organic kind because if you just get

regular you know seek help from the store it might be contaminated with

arsenic you want to get something from Iceland or something that’s organic

that’s really healthy but here’s the point I then and will actually decrease

estrogen and it actually is a good cancer preventer and it actually handles

cysts nodules of the thyroid of the breast fibrocystic breast of the ovary

very very important the tongue if it’s a red tongue that’s a b2 deficiency if

it’s a glossy red tongue that’s a b12 deficiency a white tongue is a yeast

overgrowth okay so that’s a yeast and balance that’s a gut problem fissures in

the tongue it’s a b12 deficiency it can happen like down the center on the sides

these well be vitamin deficiencies now you see the outer part of the eye the

eyebrow it’s like there’s no hair there that is a thyroid problem and you know

what’s interesting about the thyroid is the thyroid blocks the absorption of

nutrients in the body so really it’s a nutrient deficiency but the thyroid can

create the nutritional deficiency so again you know you need to understand

how the whole body works now this is a real common thing I see a lot of people

you see like a pink toothbrush like you get bleeding gums or or red swollen gums

they call it gingivitis that’s about it and C deficiency it’s a form of scurvy

because vitamin C strengthens the capillary beds so anything like micro

hemorrhaging up like those varicose veins spider veins the little red cheeks

anything with vascular things like that that’s about in-situ

pitch vitamin C deficiency but what’s happening at the cellular level is they

even in your arteries you’re getting little lesions and bleeding in the

arteries and that’s when you have the accumulation of cholesterol as a

band-aid and calcium has abandoned in the arteries and then you get a clogged

artery so these people that have gingivitis really have they’re

developing problems in the vascular system as well but if you have brush

your teeth and you get bleeding that’s about NC deficiency do not take the

synthetic vitamin C get it from the food concentrated food I use the wheatgrass

juice powder myself but you can get it from just a lot of vegetables as well

versus one juice has no vitamin C because it’s pasteurized but they put

some synthetic in there so don’t take the synthetic now if you have too much

fluoride which a lot of times in the water supply they use too much flora

that can create that discoloration in the tooth and that creates an imbalance

in calcium metabolism so I mean it’s like that everyone’s like so Pro

fluoride but it’s very toxic to your body actually if you’ve been follow me

you know about the body types if you look on if you someone has a heavier

hips that’s an ovary type if they have a

health side belly that’s adrenal type if they’re weight all over that’s a thyroid

if it’s more of a protruding belly that’s a liver problem okay so you can

look on the outside of the body and determine what’s going on the inside it

chief foot on the bottom of the foot that is a liver problem it’s a liver

issue just wanna let you know um neuromas what’s an aroma it’s a little

nerve bundle on the bottom of the foot that can be very painful to do search

around it that’s a virus viruses come out of remission when your dreams are

weak you can’t kill a virus because a virus is not alive mix blindness so

viruses are very fascinating they basically maybe get activated and to get

inactivated they get activated by your own tissues

when you become tired stressed out burnt out get older the viruses come out

of remission and they create all sorts of damage like shingles and herpes and

all these other issues but when you’re healthy they go back into remission but

the adrenals control if it’s going out or in so you can’t kill a virus or do

your only solution is to get healthy but it’s interesting because viruses usually

come out when you go through stress they’re activated okay now um so here’s

what I’m going to recommend I developed I spent a lot of time creating an

advanced evaluation questionnaire it’s kind of a free test someone can go on

and this is the URL the address online that you can go to that you can take

this lengthy evaluation and I’ll explain exactly what the heck this thing is I

created this quiz awhile ago and it has 104 questions it has every single

symptom you could possibly imagine and what I did in my spare time is I took

every single symptom and I evaluated all of the potential causes of that one

symptom then what I did is I I created logic so when you were to fill out this

quiz it associates with other symptoms so it looks at other symptoms that you

have and all those potential causes to find the most like likely cause the

number one cause of all of your symptoms okay so that’s it actually thinks so

it’s on automatic pilot so you don’t need a practitioner to tell you what it

is so so what I did is I created this quiz and then I kind of gave I wanted to

not just evaluate and tell you what your problem is but to help you understand

and interpret what that means and and so you can have a greater deeper background

of the symptom and what you should be eating

and what remedies would be good for you both additional remedies like a pelvis

door or just general remedies things like that to actually now just treat

symptoms but we want to treat the cause of the symptom and correct it okay so

it’s kind of like a training program as well as an evaluation software okay

then what I did is I created all the potential to fish causes of problems

like low vitamin b1 low fat soluble vitamins low B to low potassium and I

created all the symptoms that could occur from those causes so when you take

this quiz it died sex everything and comes up with a really cool freakin

report that you will love okay so and then I have all these different remedies

that you can use to actually correct it so um here’s what I recommend that you

do take the quiz you go to dr. Berg com4 slash evaluation take the quiz and it’s

not a short quiz it’s a long quiz it’s 104 questions but it’s awesome because

it’ll actually dissect everything for those people that are under my

membership site they can take it every month but I’m just letting you two take

it as a one-shot deal for free normally I’ll charge for it because one of my

health coaches will contact you just kind of review it and then send you the

report okay so just help you understand it and

then you can go through it at your leisure and just start to learn from it

okay so it’s a I think it’s a very cool evaluation and I’m gonna allow you to

take you know one evaluation and that is basically your next step and let me just

kind of put this up on the screen to you’d go to dr. Berg comm forward slash

evaluation and um you’re basically going to just fill out the thing and it might

take us a day or two to get back to you because we’re going to analyze it look

at it and then contact you walk you through it

you know take a couple minutes and then what we’ll do is we’ll send you the

report and you’ll have a really cool assessment of what’s going on to your

whole body and the underlying deeper root problem that that that you need to

focus on because you know my whole thing is this stop treating symptoms let’s

treat the cause of it let’s let’s go deeper your results are dependent on

getting the real problem and so if people get results um then they’re they

can actually resolve a problem and there’s nothing worse and I see this all

the time with people basically treating symptoms and they keep treating symptoms

they never get to the root of it and they keep going and keep going and they

just get frustrated so to go the doctor of this specialist so this quiz is about

an advanced evaluation technology evaluation means finding a real cause

understanding what the body’s trying to tell you like like even if you have pain

your body’s trying to tell you don’t move right if you pain when you eat

something what does your body trying to tell you avoid that food so this is all

about trying to understand what the language of the body is in interpreting

symptoms okay so anyway that’s the quiz and I wanted to share just some insights

on that with going through the different assessments but now you’ll be able to

look at someone um three feet away and kind of spot what they’re deficient in

which is good and bad because you’re gonna probably now want to evaluate

everyone you know just don’t much my name I can just see you now like do you

know how to be to deficiency yeah maybe people might not accept that but this is

good for friends and family so I hope you enjoyed this webinar I hope you

learned something and your next step is to take the evaluation and I appreciate

your attention thus far you made it this far and I will see you in the upcoming

videos so thank you very much and I will see you soon
