My Raynoud's started in my teens. It was diagnosed as idiopathic in my 20s. Unrelated postpartum mood symptoms got me started on krill oil supplements. My Raynoud's completely resolved after consistently taking krill oil for a while. I'm typing now with warm fingers in a cold room :-) I wish everyone watching gets similar relief from Raynoud's.
@@stickercode for 5 years, I've taken 350 mg - 500 mg daily when not pregnant. Higher during pregnancy. I've used Schiff Mega Red, Swanson, and Vitacost SKO. I shop those 3 and select the most cost effective option. I can't tell a difference from one to the next besides the flavoring added. I could definitely tell a difference in my mood the one time I ran out, but the Raynoud's didn't return during that week without krill oil.
Does the krill oil help with the swollen and hot/red hands too. Mine go back and forth between freezing and red hot. I started taking krill oil cuz of your post. And thanks for the tip. I hope this helps. I just went keto and heard that helps but haven’t noticed anything yet as it’s only been 2 1/2 weeks.
I have suffered from this for over twelve years and it is extremely painful. Mine go ghost white . Thank you for the information, more than my doctor of twenty years was able to suggest.
I have raynaud’s syndrome on and off, when it happens, I just put my finger in hot water, it resolves quickly, if hot water not available, I put my fingers on my neck or any warm part of my body. It’s a quick fix. Try to eat small amount cinnamon,1/2 teaspoons daily. It helps to prevent it happens.
I'm SO grateful for this video. I'm 22 and got diagnosed last week. It scared me being told I have raynauds, could also have an autoimmune disorder and that they couldn't do anything 🤦♀️
I’m 20 years old and was diagnosed last year, i felt the same way! I was so scared that in my 30s i would get an autoimmune disease but ultimately it’s out of our control and we just have to try to enjoy life as it is :) I don’t don’t believe we’ll get a cure in our lifetime but hopefully if i get kids, i hope they make a cure by then. My doctor said it could be hereditary, but my parents don’t have it 🤷🏻♀️. Wishing you the best girly
@JEFF THE MEFF He gave me a supplement for blood flow, an herbal supplement called Super Circulation by Positive Power Nutritionals. I haven't taken it consistently enough to notice a difference. But I found something that's been healing the infected blisters on my toes. It's called Just Ingredients Skin Serum. It's organic and full of essential oils, and that's been doing loads for my toes! They look so much better
My best tip is to keep your torso warm. Warming my fingers never did much good. Drinking a cup of hot tea seemed much more effective at reviving those white digits. A scarf or hot-water bottle to warm the neck might also be an effective help. Thanks for these videos, Dr. Berg! Could you do one about Achenbach Syndrome?
I had this since I was a kid. A surgeon thought I had celiac so he told me to get off gluten. My migraines and raynauds went away, along with aphthous ulcers and aches and pains.
Hi I get this every winter and when it gets bad I go to the doctors and all I get is tablets to improve blood circulation. May I ask what you use that helps or prevents it
Thank you once again! I'm so sick of being told that my fingers are blue bc I'm small. When the warmth returns, it's painful and I have no doubt that it's Raynaud's. B vitamins, here I come!
People don't understand that the small capillariers have constriction mechanism which atrophies if not trained. We need to get into cold and learn how to squeeze the capillaries. Cold exposure is first painful, but the body is using 'muscles' it has forgotten. After a bit of cold expsure you get trained capillaries and no more pain
I beg to differ. Having been born near Winnipeg, Manitoba; moved to northern Ontario at the age of two and spent the rest of my life almost exclusively in northern Ontario, I can tell you that exposure to cold certainly didn't train or condition my capillaries to work better. After spending a decade in a semi-isolated Indigenous community pretty close to James Bay, I experienced full-blown and severe Raynaud's Syndrome attacks on a regular basis. My feet have been dead white and never warm for about six weeks, now, and I haven't even had to shovel the driveway once, yet. When I have to shovel a foot of snow off it twice a day my feet will be so numb and cold it will be like walking on wooden stilts. Dude, really! Cold is not good for Raynaud's Syndrome. Really not good. Not even Wym Hoff would be able to shovel a driveway in Sorrells with Raynaud's Syndrome.
I developed this last December/ January after having digestive problems for 6 months. I really looked like the superhero from watchman. Thankfully, I got over it in a couple of months and I am almost out of the woods with the digestive problems.
Eating beets helped me so much. I recommend eating beets. I also want to try pomegranate. Not the juice but the entire fruit. I found that garlic didn’t work for me though. But beets, wow! I got instant feeling in my left foot again and it warmed up to a normal temperature! I feel good now. Also, I took magnesium citrate supplement to relax the constrictions. Magnesium is a relaxation mineral. Hope this helps you guys!
I'm 43 now and I've had this since my early teens at least, but could have possibly been younger. I remember that quite vividly as I was the only one in a circle of friends who couldn't throw snowballs for more than five minutes. My hands turn white with a lack of fresh blood supply and go numb, losing my sense of touch. When I heat them up and fresh blood returns, my hands can go blue and sometimes almost black, then finally bright red. I think that is oxygen being used up rapidly in seconds, by the cells that have been starved for so long. Then the pins and needles start. The fastest relief I get is putting my hands under warm water. Blood comes back in about two minutes. I've been keto and quit booze both at the same time for eight months, which did nothing for my Raynauds, but my sleep quality and duration improved vastly. I'm going to try a more canivorous diet now with plenty of liver etc to see if the B complex of vitamins can help. My grandmother always complained of cold hands (they were like ice) and severe cold intolerence bless her, which I have a slight problem with too, so maybe it's hereditary (although my mother wasn't affected). It's so annoying as no one seems to have a clear cut answer on the subject.
I know my story is the same. The worst is when the tips of my fingers go white, and can't feel anything, or it hurts so much, it's scary. I'm gonna try inositol, but which type? There are so many types out there...Any suggestions?
Low co2 tolerance. Mouth breathing/hyperventilation syndrome. Breath out through for nose slowly and hold it (pause it i call it) when the air hunger gets too much breath back in slowly. If you need to gasp back in fast you have paused your breath too long. Repeat for 5 mins and your extremities will warm up, you may feel sweaty. The overall aim is to retrain your breathing and get higher resistance to co2 which triggers you to need more oxygen. Research bohr effect.
Hey there, I have raynauds too and what helped me a lot was eating beets. Boil them and just eat them. Helped me so much. Also, I take a magnesium citrate supplement that helps act like a vasodilator. Cause it’s a relaxation mineral. Try those! They will help. I also want to try pomegranate fruit. Cause that’s another vasodilator. And avoid caffeine and alcohol! Cause those restrict arteries.
I developed this problem about 7 years ago. I had to be careful and not let my right hand get too cold or my ring and middle fingers would go numb and turn white. I went through 3 winters with this issue and thought I would have it the rest of my life. I was given Ciprofloxacin for an unrelated issue. After taking Cipro my right hand was no longer affected by the cold. I haven't had the problem since.
I'm 27 yo and happy to find this video & try out some of the vitamins he suggested, my Raynaud syndrome is getting out of control for 2 months: my fingers are inflamed and look like small sausages. It usually gets better 5 days after the swell got triggered (I believe it's both stress & cold-related). someone else had this symptom as well?
this is real! i dated a woman 10 years ago (we were both in our 40's) that had this. she had no hair because of brain tumor surgery, so she wore a wig or a knitted hat at home. she always seemed cold all the time, and i would warm up her frosty fingers sometimes. i run a bit hot (prolly cuz i grew up and live in the pacific northwest), so i like a cooler home, but i can adapt, but i digress. i've actually seen this though. i really hope dr berg's advice helps some folks.
I was diagnosed with Raynaud's Phenomenon when I was 33 years old. I had one episode and never had it again. I had to be hospitalized because I had extremely painful spasms in the lower half of my body. The thing is , I knew it wasn't Raynouds Phenomenon. It was a heart related issue because I just met my soul mate, but I couldn't tell the doctor that...😂. All the blood rushed to my heart because of the immense love I felt upom meeting him. My pineal gland tingled and spasmed. It was a very surreal experience - one I will never forget. I felt lovesick.
Raynaud's can occur on its own, known as primary form. Or it may happen along with other diseases, known as secondary form. The diseases most often linked with Raynaud's are autoimmune or connective tissue diseases such as: Lupus (systemic lupus erythematous)
often linked with Raynaud’s are autoimmune or connective tissue diseases such as:My wife has raynauds her hands would turn black after a short time out in cold weather, she was later diagnosed with scleroderma, lupus, and also had thyroid issues.. the scoloderma seems to be getting worse her skin is thickening and it's affected her hearing Lupus (systemic lupus erythematous) Scleroderma CREST syndrome (a form of scleroderma) Buerger disease Sjögren syndrome Rheumatoid arthritis Occlusive vascular disease, such as atherosclerosis Polymyositis Blood disorders, such as Cryoglobulinemia Thyroid disorders Pulmonary hypertension
I suffer from this Raynaud's syndrome in Winter. Am black, but my fingers thumbprints literally turns white ( and not blue ) and it hurts. When I try to touch or hold something, it seems as if I have needles inside. My feet are extremely cold as well, but my fingers are worse. Have been to the doctor, nothing could be done. He said it's poor blood circulation. Edit: My finger thumbprints gradually start turning a bit light red in color once the blood circulation starts returning back to the thumbs.
I am mixed, but fingers get white as well- fingernails have gotten blue. After years I learned that diet,( anti-inflammatory) exercise, and keeping your "core" warm are keys to helping control it. When it's cold I wear tank tops under all shirts and use warming packs on my midsection. Plus always wear foot warmers in my shoes during cold days. The body won't shut down your blood flow to extremities if it's not challenged.
I have Reynaud's that effects hands, feet, nose, ears, and mouth. It goes through all 3 color changes if I don't arrest it immediately. The best thing I've found is to get in a hit shower. Unfortunately, stress and vibration also sets it off. Mine is secondary, along with Systemic Scleroderma. I appreciate this video, it's the first time I've seen it addressed in conjunction with supplementation that can help. I've has to do lots of researching information on my own, because my doctors mantra is "No treatment, no cure. "
Oh thank you so much Dr. Berg for sending me this link. Tomorrow I’m getting everything you suggested. You have helped more than my internist!! Jana - Texas
I have this problem with my nose and it’s very embarrassing when the blood circulation comes back on causing a bright red nose. It makes me want to hide in the toilets if I was out somewhere. Thank you so much for the solution 🙏
I have this and it’s baffling! It can be 45* and my fingers and toes go numb! I have to put my hands under hot water to get them back to a normal skin color😞
My finger tips turn white from absence of blood there. Then as I warm my hands back up, blood rushes back in causing them to turn red or purple. This is also painful when it occurs.
Mine turn white in cold conditions. Even just holding say celery out of the fridge as I dip and chomp on. So weird. I do have lupus and have helped myself out w clean eating. I'll give your suggestions a go. Thanks Dr. B.
@@ceilconstante7813 thanks. I do high D3 C zinc Mag and I 've tamed the beast. Clean eating and working out and losing half my size put my lupus on its knees. Still have it but.... Be safe!
@Taiwo Omotosho My go to musts are my D3wK2 at 5000IU twice a day and Liposomal Vit C 1200mg from Dacha twice a day. I split the C up instead of two caps at once. Magnesium, zinc a must. Be safe!
It all end with a new song, for what Dr Salami on RUclips did to me, for helping me eradicate Raynaud's disease within 14days of using his herbal medicine, you are truly a great man. If you suffer from Raynaud's please get his natural herbal medicine because i know the pain I went through.
Been struggling with this since I was a child. The other day I started taking citrulline malate powder (provides nice, steady energy), and when I prepared my first dose my fingers were white from being cold 10 minutes prior. Within 20-30 second of taking cirtulline malate powder, the blood restored to all of my fingers. I’m still in shock by how rapidly it unexpectedly restored blood flow to my fingers because it usually takes a solid 30 minutes of trying to warm my hands to make progress. I do also follow a keto diet and supplement with omega 3s, b vitamins, and inositol, but even that didn’t prevent Raynauds attacks…super curious to know if citrulline malate powder works for anyone else!!
I am in the process of purchasing L-Citruline and citrulline malate (will try both), but my brief research suggests that latter is more ideal for exercise/fatigue, and the straight up amino acid citrulline might be best for daily use for circulation damage caused by AI diseases and/or Raynaud’s and/or any other sort of microcirculatory issues. The mechanism is Citrulline > Arginine > NO (nitric oxide) - which is a vasodilator. For those of us with existing damaged arterioles, the NO will not be able to reach any vessels so broken that red blood cells cannot squeeze through, that is the limiting factor. Other research suggests that hyperbaric oxygen therapy would be ideal to bridge this last issue. Also infra red sauna can help reach fine broken arteries, and bring some benefit to them, even if red blood cells cannot reach . . . Good luck everyone! I am a small older person (65 yrs female, PsA, 110 lbs max) and I think I will start with a smaller dose once or twice a day (AM & noon?) and skip the evening dose, as I am concerned citrulline/malate may be ENERGIZING. Which I have zero interest in when attempting sleep at night.
PS: If I don’t find something cleaner, will probably begin with NOW Brand, it’s pretty reliable. Some older folks I’ve read from have started at 750 mg. Keep in mind that ‘straight up’ will be stronger than the malate mix . . .. and that either one is very acidic and bitter tasting, so best to skip the powders (save your teeth) and take capsule form.
I had it so bad I would get small sores on my toes in the winter no matter how many pairs of socks I wore. Two things helped me dramatically, I stopped smoking And started wearing Uggs.
Thank you, Dr. Berg. Your videos are incredibly helpful. I would love to try the B1 and inositol for Raynaud's, but was wondering where I could find the dosages. I'd be grateful if anyone could point me to or share the info. Thank you so much.
since no one has replied here... have you started with at least the recommended dosage on bottle? Anyhow, when it comes to vitamins, i wouldn't worry about taking more than the suggested amount. I've done my own experiments with mega dosing, i've never had a problem. The dosage for micro nutrient metals, thats another story.
Thank u. I was diagnosed 2 years ago along with An auto immune condition. My fingers are often swollen too. However when i Don t eat gluten (almost plantbased) its gone. But the withness and bleu stays. Iam gonna try this. Thank u so much
The worst for me is my ears. Even if it's warm out with a breeze. The pain causes me a headache that starts to make me black out, get dizzy, and gag feeling nauseous. My husband has had to come get me just a few blocks from home because it gets so bad I have to sit on the ground from the pain in my head. It's been this way for decades now . It used to only happen below freezing and now it can be a sunny spring/summer day and wind can cause it .
Yes! this symptom started as I hit 40 I thought I was going mad with the unbearable pain on my fingers. I could not even open my front door to get inside my house from my fingers being so numb! Can I take 200mg of Vitamin B1 instead of 100mg? Doctors ran tests and gave me tablets to open my blood circulation but I did not take as my blood pressure was low..... Love you Dr Berg!
I have Crohn’s and Raynaud’s.. My right index finger turns white and numb when cold. I often use gloves, even indoors.. when taking stuff out of the fridge/freezer. I use this creme Glycerylnitrat 1 or 2 % on my hands before I go out and try not to get cold. 👋🇸🇪
when the temp gets near 50* my fingers turn white ,, and numb .. and it hurts can only describe it as getting them slammed in a car door .. my doctor prescribed a med. but it gives you muscle spam's in the legs my wife would massage pressure points in the bicep and forearm areas . and the blood flow would return but.... the pain is over bearing ( I finally gave up and moved to Thailand where it's close to 90 everyday .. ) win win

I remember having this in High School in Michigan. Glad I mentioned it to the drug salesman in a white coat. Of course they used to say nutrition didn't make a difference. Gee I wonder why pharma is loosing money?
Thanks very much for answering my question about Raynaud's Syndrome. I really needed the advice, especially since I live in Northern Ontario and it's not possible for me to avoid the cold. I have been taking vitamin B1 for a few months with little improvement. Hopefully that other thing with the inch-long name will help! Sliding back to write it down, now!
From one Carol to another, lol, could you tell me if you've had any improvement in the last 4 months? Did you start taking the other supplement? I hate taking supplements but I will if it will help. My numb and tingly fingers are driving me crazy. I hope it will go away when warmer weather arrives! Thanks.
@@alajnabiya The niacin is very helpful. Unfortunately, the regular niacin was too intense and I couldn't take it on a regular basis so I went to the no-flush and it is definitely still helping. I also use a Raynaud's flare-up as a signal to get up from my desk and walk around a bit to try to encourage circulation. For really severe flare-ups I run my hands under warm water and/or soak my feet in it. Seems to help but not for long. With niacin, the circulation stays out in my hands and feet much longer.
@@alajnabiya it never really goes away but it gets better when it's warmer and I move around more. I find, even in the summer, it can be triggered by stress, emotional reactions and fatigue. It's the weirdest thing to be sweating in the heat and humidity but still have cold hands, feet and nose.
I was diagnosed with this about 6 yrs ago and my doctor prescribed Robaxin. I am so over going to the doctor. I have never been to one who actually helped me. Literally. Never.
You keep going to allopathic doctors expecting to get different results. They are legal drug dealers, foot soldiers for big pharma. Be your own health advocate. Most conditions are caused by toxins and nutritional deficiencies. Watch Dr Peter Osborne, he teaches us causes and how to cure using essential nutrients that the body requires
Also they go white, green. Hormone imbalance, Autoimmune disease, tramma also causes it. I am finding hot & cold treatment, cold bath /showers is helping but been bulding it cold gradually ✌️😽💞 THANK U Dr BERG for putting much helpful knowledge out there ❣️
Good Morning Dr. Berg Thank you so much for sharing this very interesting information with everyone 🌞 Have a great day, May God sorround you with his grace and peace , Stay Safe 🦋 10/27/2020
It's not just the hands. My husband has this in his feet. His heals turn black where the blood pools and causes ulcers and sores that ate hard to heal.
I got diagnosed with scleroderma a year ago 37yo after suffering with Reydnous finger. The specialist said that there is nothing to do, unknown cause. Will start taking vit B1 from now.
My raynoud's started after I turned to Intermediate fasting and a keto diet. I am eating a lot of eggs, fat fish, cod liver oil, vitamine D3, broccoli, Magnesium, nutritional yeast, multivitamine and multimineral tablets, and I am usually sleeping seven hours or more. It seems to me that what you are listing up as a solution of the problem, - rather has been causing this problem to me, since I never had raynold's before I turned to keto. Please, tell me what I am doing wrong. If it makes a difference, I am 70 years old, have only had raynaud's for 5 years, during the winter season in my fingers, - and I am living in the northern part of Europe.
Iam not a doctor, that is for sure . . . But ideas for one your age (I am 65 w/Raynaud’s) is that perhaps eating through out the day rather than fasting would keep the nutrition and blood circulation (heat generation) more regular through the day. Also, I hope you are not drinking coffee (vasoconstrictor) Also I would recommend trying out skipping all of those ‘multi vitamins’ pills and see if 2-4 weeks of JUST taking Vit D3 and Niacin (50 mg thrice a day) might help. (You may also want to research Citrulline as it also helps with blood circulation to extremities (it is an Amino Acid)
I first noticed Raynauld’s last November. I had been on the autoimmune protocol diet for oral lichen planus just before. I also did 14: 10 intermittent fasting at that time. I wonder if restricted eating patterns can trigger it. I’m 73.
My Reynauds started with the onset of my Psoriatic Arthritis. First, it was my feet, then my hands, then ears, then nose. Ice cold to the touch even if I'm exposed to a slightly cool breeze it can trigger it. Just staying layered up and wearing gloves has seemed to help in winter. My nose and ears are annoying though it's usually worse in the morning for myself.
Thank you so much. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (connective tissue/genetic condition). My feet turn blue/white/red and are always cold, even in the summer. I'll take the Inositol as well as B1/thiamine. TY
@@GodListens77 Thank you so much. Some people use chinese acupuncture, and take propolis & royal jelly capsules with healthy food. Some put their hands in the natural snow until they feel paresthesia, then cover them with a towel until the body returns to its normal temperature automatically without any manual warming.
Excellent video!! My extremities turn white and cold in the sun occasionally. It’s frightening! Can you a video on what that condition might be if you have time? Love that you’re on Facebook reels now too. Thanks in advance! 🙂
My sis has this and she would feel like she’s having a heart attack. I have similar issues where it’s difficult for blood to be drawn, I have lipedema, etc.
B-1 is THIAMIN. Inositol is a natural form of Niacinamide (which is synthetic). 100mg of Thiamin ia standard supplement dose, not sure about the Inositol, but your number is way low. Remember, we are not looking for the least amount to keep a human alive . . .
Interesting. The Inositol hexanicotinate is niacin, a B vitamin in its natural form which most vitamin companies substitute with niacinamide, a synthetic form. Someone just asked me if I have Raynaud's syndrome, so I had to look it up. I don't think so. My nerve issues in my hands are from a disk issue in my neck.
I have this without really any physical sensations. When it’s hot outside or when I’m hot from exercise, my hands turn red, then when it’s too cold they will turn kinda purple. It’s getting embarrassing being in hot weather and having such red hands, especially with pale skin tone it really seems to stand out though nobody has said anything about it to me..
I had this when I was child/ teenager in the winter, it stopped when I used hot water to clean my hands during one whole summer, then the winters after that summer it did not show up again. Weird 😁
I heard about this disorder 2 years ago. I’m 53 yrs old, and it’s a good thing I live in California! I remember turning the heater on, all the time, and my parents would tell me it’s not cold, and I’d show them my blue/purple finger tips. My dad would hold my hands to warm them up. My mom always commented on my cold hands, but as many times as they took me to the doctor for little thing, it was never for this. I think it was because the lab results showed I wasn’t anemic (ok, my mom did mention this). Doesn’t this come with a deformity in the nails? 🙋🏾♀️ I thought I finally subsided, until I went to Iceland in the fall. 33 degrees, and I suffered the 1st few days. I was “prepared”, but not for my body’s reaction. Hot weather, is a bit difficult as well. I just thought it was being a sensitive N Californian. 😊

I have a similar condition but it causes itching, redness, instead of numbness/white happened when i was around 14 first time, let's see if it happens this time!
@@Drberg Thanks so much for all your great videos!! They have helped me a lot especially with tinnitus which I had suffered great deal. God bless you Dr Berg!! :)
I totally relate with most of the symptoms listed in the comments here, I was never diagnosed by a doctor, despite I always lamented the symptoms, they all kept saying it’s poor blood circulation; my ex sister in law is a doctor and she told me I have this syndrome. Winter and the cold make you feel horrible, you literally can’t walk outside as you can’t feel your hands and you feel needless in your toes. I have to say I have totally bypassed the problem by moving out to a hot country but what happens when I have to go back to my home country in winter for some emergencies? Shall I start a preventative/maintenance treatment now or start the supplements only when I’m supposed to travel to cold weather places? And then I have the same question of others here: is it something curable or can we just make it better with these aides but we have to live with it? Would tumo breathing help in these regards? Ah and I wanted to add I’ve been having cold showers (I live in a hot weather country) and doing the Wim Hof breathing technique for 5 mo, I really hope it helps, but can’t really tell as I’ve haven’t been in the cold after including these habits in my lifestyle.
Your body might heal in the heat over time. I know people that have healed their chronic conditions because they’ve moved to hot countries.. as long as you’re not stressed. As for me I’m stuck in a horrible cold wet climate but still hopeful
Hi Dr Berg I have raynaud síndrome.. My Ana once came positive for rheumatism but after one year in keto I did again I came negative, the doct said that first one was a false positive my grandma die from lupus I am very concern and can that raynaud could be related with bradicardia, I have very slow heart beat and I am not a athlete. Thanks big fan.
l know someone who deveIoped this after aggressive cancer treatments. She said the damage to the tiny vesseIs from the intravenous chemo is what started it.
i was diagnosed with that two years ago was living a hell life then full of stress alcohol drugs etc now iam symptom free im doing cold showers and wim hom breaths
So what did you do to help the condition? Are you saying the cold showers and wim hof breathing technique solved your issue or that you can do those things now because you solved the issue in other ways?
Inositol Hexanicotinate. How is that different: aka;: how is the mechanism of action different from Inositol Hexanicotinate vs Inositol Hexaphosphate? You said in prior videos IP-6 & Inositol (please forgive my ignorance if I've confused your recommendations) are involved in chelation so best not to take with electrolytes. I'm weaning myself off adderall at 58 I've been on it almost 10 years. I heard you say IP-6 inositol would help. I bought it originally for my little sister with trichotillomania but she scoffed at my suggestion. I hope you read your comments & will respond. Electrolytes depleted by IP-6 Inositol? To be consumed separately? Please make a new video about adults that are easily distracted & HOW MUCH DAMAGE TO OUR BRAINS & BODIES ADDERALL IS CAUSING. Please. It wakes me up but I know it's affecting my intestines...& my long term prognosis. I'm a dementia nurse, I see how the carbs are hurting my residents. Help me understand how the psyche drugs are down regulating my dopamine & serotonin (?) receptors. Insulin resistance? 90+% of us too well fed Americans
My father has Raynauds and I occasionally have issues with my toes. If my feet get too cold I'll have a toe go completely white and numb. It usually resolves itself when I warm up again but it can be frustrating. I have never had fingertips go white though.
Hi I just got diagnosed with this I got septicemia and subacute bacterial endocarditis this is one of the side-effects I get from this I also get like shin split pain in muscles like walking in muscles and joints ill try the B1 and see how that goes
17 years old and I am panicking by the way my hands turn to a temperature sensor in degrees (color indicator🤣) -213 to 15 blue (the less temp the more blue saturation) 15 to 36 normal white 36 to hell red (the more temp the more red saturation)
I’m wanting to purchase these vitamins but I’m struggling to work out what to buy. Any recommendations? I was looking up the second recommendation with the long name but should I take both???

I hope this helps. I just went keto and heard that helps but haven’t noticed anything yet as it’s only been 2 1/2 weeks.
I have suffered from this for over twelve years and it is extremely painful. Mine go ghost white . Thank you for the information, more than my doctor of twenty years was able to suggest.
I have raynaud’s syndrome on and off, when it happens, I just put my finger in hot water, it resolves quickly, if hot water not available, I put my fingers on my neck or any warm part of my body. It’s a quick fix. Try to eat small amount cinnamon,1/2 teaspoons daily. It helps to prevent it happens.
Once again Dr. B you tell us the root cause and a REAL way to help the issue. Thks😊
I'm SO grateful for this video. I'm 22 and got diagnosed last week. It scared me being told I have raynauds, could also have an autoimmune disorder and that they couldn't do anything 🤦♀️
I’m 20 years old and was diagnosed last year, i felt the same way! I was so scared that in my 30s i would get an autoimmune disease but ultimately it’s out of our control and we just have to try to enjoy life as it is :)
I don’t don’t believe we’ll get a cure in our lifetime but hopefully if i get kids, i hope they make a cure by then. My doctor said it could be hereditary, but my parents don’t have it 🤷🏻♀️. Wishing you the best girly
@@maryn4150 I found a herbalist doctor who said he has medicine for it! I'm going to give it a try and let you know if it helps. 💙
@@karagalactic That’s nice to hear, hope you find something that works out!
@@karagalactic How did it go? What is the medicine please?
@JEFF THE MEFF He gave me a supplement for blood flow, an herbal supplement called Super Circulation by Positive Power Nutritionals. I haven't taken it consistently enough to notice a difference. But I found something that's been healing the infected blisters on my toes. It's called Just Ingredients Skin Serum. It's organic and full of essential oils, and that's been doing loads for my toes! They look so much better
My best tip is to keep your torso warm. Warming my fingers never did much good. Drinking a cup of hot tea seemed much more effective at reviving those white digits. A scarf or hot-water bottle to warm the neck might also be an effective help.
Thanks for these videos, Dr. Berg! Could you do one about Achenbach Syndrome?
I had this since I was a kid. A surgeon thought I had celiac so he told me to get off gluten. My migraines and raynauds went away, along with aphthous ulcers and aches and pains.
Hi I get this every winter and when it gets bad I go to the doctors and all I get is tablets to improve blood circulation. May I ask what you use that helps or prevents it
@@Hassan-nu3rpMay I ask which ‘tablets’ (what medicine) does your doc prescribe for your Raynaud’s? Thanks!
So you probably also reduced your processed carb intake, which is a huge part of B1 deficiency
Thank you once again! I'm so sick of being told that my fingers are blue bc I'm small. When the warmth returns, it's painful and I have no doubt that it's Raynaud's. B vitamins, here I come!
People don't understand that the small capillariers have constriction mechanism which atrophies if not trained. We need to get into cold and learn how to squeeze the capillaries. Cold exposure is first painful, but the body is using 'muscles' it has forgotten. After a bit of cold expsure you get trained capillaries and no more pain
I beg to differ. Having been born near Winnipeg, Manitoba; moved to northern Ontario at the age of two and spent the rest of my life almost exclusively in northern Ontario, I can tell you that exposure to cold certainly didn't train or condition my capillaries to work better. After spending a decade in a semi-isolated Indigenous community pretty close to James Bay, I experienced full-blown and severe Raynaud's Syndrome attacks on a regular basis. My feet have been dead white and never warm for about six weeks, now, and I haven't even had to shovel the driveway once, yet. When I have to shovel a foot of snow off it twice a day my feet will be so numb and cold it will be like walking on wooden stilts.
Dude, really! Cold is not good for Raynaud's Syndrome. Really not good. Not even Wym Hoff would be able to shovel a driveway in Sorrells with Raynaud's Syndrome.
MANY people who have Raynauds, have another autoimmune disease. Lupus, sjogrens, diabetes, RA.
Horrible.
Most people who have raynauds, also have Lupus, sjogrens, diabetes, RA. No fun.
Hmm, my mother has this, I have this I first noticed at 7 yrs of age. My son has this and he is 18 yrs of age.
I developed this last December/ January after having digestive problems for 6 months. I really looked like the superhero from watchman. Thankfully, I got over it in a couple of months and I am almost out of the woods with the digestive problems.
Hello, what digestive issues are you y? What are you doing to resolve it? Thank you
Eating beets helped me so much. I recommend eating beets. I also want to try pomegranate. Not the juice but the entire fruit. I found that garlic didn’t work for me though. But beets, wow! I got instant feeling in my left foot again and it warmed up to a normal temperature! I feel good now. Also, I took magnesium citrate supplement to relax the constrictions. Magnesium is a relaxation mineral. Hope this helps you guys!
I'm 43 now and I've had this since my early teens at least, but could have possibly been younger. I remember that quite vividly as I was the only one in a circle of friends who couldn't throw snowballs for more than five minutes. My hands turn white with a lack of fresh blood supply and go numb, losing my sense of touch. When I heat them up and fresh blood returns, my hands can go blue and sometimes almost black, then finally bright red. I think that is oxygen being used up rapidly in seconds, by the cells that have been starved for so long. Then the pins and needles start. The fastest relief I get is putting my hands under warm water. Blood comes back in about two minutes. I've been keto and quit booze both at the same time for eight months, which did nothing for my Raynauds, but my sleep quality and duration improved vastly. I'm going to try a more canivorous diet now with plenty of liver etc to see if the B complex of vitamins can help. My grandmother always complained of cold hands (they were like ice) and severe cold intolerence bless her, which I have a slight problem with too, so maybe it's hereditary (although my mother wasn't affected). It's so annoying as no one seems to have a clear cut answer on the subject.
Heard it can be related to low magnesium
I know my story is the same. The worst is when the tips of my fingers go white, and can't feel anything, or it hurts so much, it's scary. I'm gonna try inositol, but which type? There are so many types out there...Any suggestions?
Low co2 tolerance. Mouth breathing/hyperventilation syndrome.
Breath out through for nose slowly and hold it (pause it i call it) when the air hunger gets too much breath back in slowly. If you need to gasp back in fast you have paused your breath too long.
Repeat for 5 mins and your extremities will warm up, you may feel sweaty. The overall aim is to retrain your breathing and get higher resistance to co2 which triggers you to need more oxygen.
Research bohr effect.
Hey there, I have raynauds too and what helped me a lot was eating beets. Boil them and just eat them. Helped me so much. Also, I take a magnesium citrate supplement that helps act like a vasodilator. Cause it’s a relaxation mineral. Try those! They will help. I also want to try pomegranate fruit. Cause that’s another vasodilator. And avoid caffeine and alcohol! Cause those restrict arteries.
I developed this problem about 7 years ago. I had to be careful and not let my right hand get too cold or my ring and middle fingers would go numb and turn white. I went through 3 winters with this issue and thought I would have it the rest of my life. I was given Ciprofloxacin for an unrelated issue. After taking Cipro my right hand was no longer affected by the cold. I haven't had the problem since.
Raynauds can also be caused by low sodium levels. If you have high pulse rate & normal to lower bp w/ low sodium it can cause raynauds.
How to adjust it please? Thanks
Please Dr. Berg, more education on autoimmune diseases and how possibly wheat can be related.
I'm 27 yo and happy to find this video & try out some of the vitamins he suggested, my Raynaud syndrome is getting out of control for 2 months: my fingers are inflamed and look like small sausages. It usually gets better 5 days after the swell got triggered (I believe it's both stress & cold-related). someone else had this symptom as well?
1.Vitamin B1
2. Inositol Hexanicotinate
This guy man, a blessing from God
this is real! i dated a woman 10 years ago (we were both in our 40's) that had this. she had no hair because of brain tumor surgery, so she wore a wig or a knitted hat at home. she always seemed cold all the time, and i would warm up her frosty fingers sometimes. i run a bit hot (prolly cuz i grew up and live in the pacific northwest), so i like a cooler home, but i can adapt, but i digress. i've actually seen this though. i really hope dr berg's advice helps some folks.
I was diagnosed with Raynaud's Phenomenon when I was 33 years old. I had one episode and never had it again. I had to be hospitalized because I had extremely painful spasms in the lower half of my body. The thing is , I knew it wasn't Raynouds Phenomenon. It was a heart related issue because I just met my soul mate, but I couldn't tell the doctor that...😂. All the blood rushed to my heart because of the immense love I felt upom meeting him. My pineal gland tingled and spasmed. It was a very surreal experience - one I will never forget. I felt lovesick.
really? 😂😂😂
I have had this problem on and off especially in the winter it hurts and it’s horrible to have when you try to do tasks
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Finally some concrete information for treatment/prevention of Raynaud’s.
Glad you found it so helpful!
Raynaud's can occur on its own, known as primary form. Or it may happen along with other diseases, known as secondary form. The diseases most often linked with Raynaud's are autoimmune or connective tissue diseases such as: Lupus (systemic lupus erythematous)
Awesome, thanks for sharing ✌️
I have it with elhers danlos 👍
A friend of mine has it because of a diagnosis of Scleroderma.
I have it with psoriatic arthritis.
often linked with Raynaud’s are autoimmune or connective tissue diseases such as:My wife has raynauds her hands would turn black after a short time out in cold weather, she was later diagnosed with scleroderma, lupus, and also had thyroid issues.. the scoloderma seems to be getting worse her skin is thickening and it's affected her hearing
Lupus (systemic lupus erythematous)
Scleroderma
CREST syndrome (a form of scleroderma)
Buerger disease
Sjögren syndrome
Rheumatoid arthritis
Occlusive vascular disease, such as atherosclerosis
Polymyositis
Blood disorders, such as Cryoglobulinemia
Thyroid disorders
Pulmonary hypertension
I suffer from this Raynaud's syndrome in Winter. Am black, but my fingers thumbprints literally turns white ( and not blue ) and it hurts. When I try to touch or hold something, it seems as if I have needles inside. My feet are extremely cold as well, but my fingers are worse. Have been to the doctor, nothing could be done. He said it's poor blood circulation.
Edit: My finger thumbprints gradually start turning a bit light red in color once the blood circulation starts returning back to the thumbs.
Same for me. I’m black, and my fingers turn completely white. Definitely painful as well when sensation returns...
Hope you try what the video says and let us know if it helped!
Is that a problème from the veines or the arteries.?.....
yes hands and feet turn white and then blue when fingers and toes get circulation.
I am mixed, but fingers get white as well- fingernails have gotten blue. After years I learned that diet,( anti-inflammatory) exercise, and keeping your "core" warm are keys to helping control it. When it's cold I wear tank tops under all shirts and use warming packs on my midsection. Plus always wear foot warmers in my shoes during cold days. The body won't shut down your blood flow to extremities if it's not challenged.
Good morning,sharing this with all my family and friends
Wow, surprised you got a video for this one. Mine gets reddish sometimes when fingertips get exposed to cold water at night
I have Reynaud's that effects hands, feet, nose, ears, and mouth. It goes through all 3 color changes if I don't arrest it immediately. The best thing I've found is to get in a hit shower. Unfortunately, stress and vibration also sets it off. Mine is secondary, along with Systemic Scleroderma. I appreciate this video, it's the first time I've seen it addressed in conjunction with supplementation that can help. I've has to do lots of researching information on my own, because my doctors mantra is "No treatment, no cure. "
Oh thank you so much Dr. Berg for sending me this link. Tomorrow I’m getting everything you suggested. You have helped more than my internist!! Jana - Texas
I have this problem with my nose and it’s very embarrassing when the blood circulation comes back on causing a bright red nose. It makes me want to hide in the toilets if I was out somewhere. Thank you so much for the solution 🙏
Glad you found it helpful!
I have the same sadly
I also have that problem Very Red nose illuminating!
I have this and it’s baffling! It can be 45* and my fingers and toes go numb! I have to put my hands under hot water to get them back to a normal skin color😞
I developed it, and other health related issues, around the time I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
I too have RA and Raynauds
Me too 😞
Been dealing with this for years. Bought electtic gloves. Actually went skiing last year
Electric gloves ?, battery powered ?
Which kind of gloves you are using?
Dr. Berg you are awsome! I have this problem with my feet during the winter months.
My finger tips turn white from absence of blood there. Then as I warm my hands back up, blood rushes back in causing them to turn red or purple. This is also painful when it occurs.
Mine turn white in cold conditions. Even just holding say celery out of the fridge as I dip and chomp on. So weird. I do have lupus and have helped myself out w clean eating. I'll give your suggestions a go. Thanks Dr. B.
Watch Dr. Berg's videos on vit. D3. I've been doing high does for about a year. It really does put autoimmune into remission.
I do have Lupus too and my fingers turn white just by turning the cold water faucet on and doing dishes
@@ceilconstante7813 thanks. I do high D3 C zinc Mag and I 've tamed the beast. Clean eating and working out and losing half my size put my lupus on its knees. Still have it but.... Be safe!
@@irmapena4923 I get that. Annoying. Mine dnt do it all the time now since I've "tamed the beast" w clean eating and daily exercise. Be well!
@Taiwo Omotosho My go to musts are my D3wK2 at 5000IU twice a day and Liposomal Vit C 1200mg from Dacha twice a day. I split the C up instead of two caps at once. Magnesium, zinc a must. Be safe!
It is not just caused by cold, it is also caused by stress, attacks are often caused by stress.
It all end with a new song, for what Dr Salami on RUclips did to me, for helping me eradicate Raynaud's disease within 14days of using his herbal medicine, you are truly a great man. If you suffer from Raynaud's please get his natural herbal medicine because i know the pain I went through.
I had PTSD in my early twenties, and it never triggered Raynaud's Phenomenon.
@@melisentiapheiffer3034 "caused by" doesnt mean everybody gets it the same way everytime.
Been struggling with this since I was a child. The other day I started taking citrulline malate powder (provides nice, steady energy), and when I prepared my first dose my fingers were white from being cold 10 minutes prior. Within 20-30 second of taking cirtulline malate powder, the blood restored to all of my fingers. I’m still in shock by how rapidly it unexpectedly restored blood flow to my fingers because it usually takes a solid 30 minutes of trying to warm my hands to make progress. I do also follow a keto diet and supplement with omega 3s, b vitamins, and inositol, but even that didn’t prevent Raynauds attacks…super curious to know if citrulline malate powder works for anyone else!!
Hi, did citrulline malate powder provide you with long-term relief?
which powder did you take?
hi,is the malate powder still working for you?
I am in the process of purchasing L-Citruline and citrulline malate (will try both), but my brief research suggests that latter is more ideal for exercise/fatigue, and the straight up amino acid citrulline might be best for daily use for circulation damage caused by AI diseases and/or Raynaud’s and/or any other sort of microcirculatory issues.
The mechanism is Citrulline > Arginine > NO (nitric oxide) - which is a vasodilator. For those of us with existing damaged arterioles, the NO will not be able to reach any vessels so broken that red blood cells cannot squeeze through, that is the limiting factor.
Other research suggests that hyperbaric oxygen therapy would be ideal to bridge this last issue. Also infra red sauna can help reach fine broken arteries, and bring some benefit to them, even if red blood cells cannot reach . . .
Good luck everyone!
I am a small older person (65 yrs female, PsA, 110 lbs max) and I think I will start with a smaller dose once or twice a day (AM & noon?) and skip the evening dose, as I am concerned citrulline/malate may be ENERGIZING. Which I have zero interest in when attempting sleep at night.
PS: If I don’t find something cleaner, will probably begin with NOW Brand, it’s pretty reliable.
Some older folks I’ve read from have started at 750 mg. Keep in mind that ‘straight up’ will be stronger than the malate mix . . .. and that either one is very acidic and bitter tasting, so best to skip the powders (save your teeth) and take capsule form.
I had it so bad I would get small sores on my toes in the winter no matter how many pairs of socks I wore. Two things helped me dramatically, I stopped smoking And started wearing Uggs.
Yup I get the soars too. UGGs do help but my feet sweat in them
Uggs and socks
Good timing, no idea it was a thing!
Now there’s something else I need to look into ;)
Thank you, Dr. Berg. Your videos are incredibly helpful. I would love to try the B1 and inositol for Raynaud's, but was wondering where I could find the dosages. I'd be grateful if anyone could point me to or share the info. Thank you so much.
since no one has replied here... have you started with at least the recommended dosage on bottle? Anyhow, when it comes to vitamins, i wouldn't worry about taking more than the suggested amount. I've done my own experiments with mega dosing, i've never had a problem. The dosage for micro nutrient metals, thats another story.
Thank u. I was diagnosed 2 years ago along with An auto immune condition. My fingers are often swollen too. However when i Don t eat gluten (almost plantbased) its gone. But the withness and bleu stays. Iam gonna try this. Thank u so much
My fingers are swollen too did you find out the problem
The worst for me is my ears. Even if it's warm out with a breeze. The pain causes me a headache that starts to make me black out, get dizzy, and gag feeling nauseous. My husband has had to come get me just a few blocks from home because it gets so bad I have to sit on the ground from the pain in my head. It's been this way for decades now . It used to only happen below freezing and now it can be a sunny spring/summer day and wind can cause it .
Thank you - again - for this video and all your videos, this information is priceless to me.
Yes! this symptom started as I hit 40 I thought I was going mad with the unbearable pain on my fingers. I could not even open my front door to get inside my house from my fingers being so numb! Can I take 200mg of Vitamin B1 instead of 100mg? Doctors ran tests and gave me tablets to open my blood circulation but I did not take as my blood pressure was low..... Love you Dr Berg!
I have Crohn’s and Raynaud’s..
My right index finger turns white and numb when cold. I often use gloves, even indoors.. when taking stuff out of the fridge/freezer.
I use this creme Glycerylnitrat 1 or 2 % on my hands before I go out and try not to get cold.
👋🇸🇪
when the temp gets near 50* my fingers turn white ,, and numb .. and it hurts
can only describe it as getting them slammed in a car door .. my doctor prescribed a med. but it gives you muscle spam's in the legs
my wife would massage pressure points in the bicep and forearm areas . and the blood flow would return but.... the pain is over bearing

I remember having this in High School in Michigan. Glad I mentioned it to the drug salesman in a white coat. Of course they used to say nutrition didn't make a difference. Gee I wonder why pharma is loosing money?
Thanks very much for answering my question about Raynaud's Syndrome. I really needed the advice, especially since I live in Northern Ontario and it's not possible for me to avoid the cold. I have been taking vitamin B1 for a few months with little improvement. Hopefully that other thing with the inch-long name will help! Sliding back to write it down, now!
From one Carol to another, lol, could you tell me if you've had any improvement in the last 4 months? Did you start taking the other supplement? I hate taking supplements but I will if it will help. My numb and tingly fingers are driving me crazy. I hope it will go away when warmer weather arrives! Thanks.
@@alajnabiya The niacin is very helpful. Unfortunately, the regular niacin was too intense and I couldn't take it on a regular basis so I went to the no-flush and it is definitely still helping. I also use a Raynaud's flare-up as a signal to get up from my desk and walk around a bit to try to encourage circulation. For really severe flare-ups I run my hands under warm water and/or soak my feet in it. Seems to help but not for long. With niacin, the circulation stays out in my hands and feet much longer.
@@Shria9 thank you so much for taking the time to reply. This problem is new for me and it's really getting annoying when my fingers go numb!
@@Shria9 does it go away in the summer?
@@alajnabiya it never really goes away but it gets better when it's warmer and I move around more. I find, even in the summer, it can be triggered by stress, emotional reactions and fatigue. It's the weirdest thing to be sweating in the heat and humidity but still have cold hands, feet and nose.
I was diagnosed with this about 6 yrs ago and my doctor prescribed Robaxin. I am so over going to the doctor. I have never been to one who actually helped me. Literally. Never.
They are taught to treat not cure. The medical profession has turned into a drug pushing business.
@@criticsrus6184 Exactly!
You keep going to allopathic doctors expecting to get different results. They are legal drug dealers, foot soldiers for big pharma.
Be your own health advocate. Most conditions are caused by toxins and nutritional deficiencies. Watch Dr Peter Osborne, he teaches us causes and how to cure using essential nutrients that the body requires
I like this new format
*READ THIS^^ B vitamins do help but i bleieve it is a malabsorption issue. I took a Tudca supplement and it went away!!
Dr Berg, woula alpha lipoic acid help with Raynauds?
Hello Mr. Berg,
kindly highlight the production of plastic Rice, which could be the main reason Rice became a super toxic food
Thank you for this video Dr Berg I have secondary raynauds
Awesome Dr Berg, very informative and thank you for sharing. 🙏

You're very welcome! You as well!
It's not just the hands. My husband has this in his feet. His heals turn black where the blood pools and causes ulcers and sores that ate hard to heal.
Hi Dr Berg, do you have a video on working with scheroderma of which my wife has just been diagnosed. Thanks
Thank you, Dr. Berg. You’ve helped me out so much. You’re amazing!!
THANK YOU. MY DAUGHTER HAS THIS. STARTED IN WARM PART OF AZ. WORSE IN IN. STATE
I got diagnosed with scleroderma a year ago 37yo after suffering with Reydnous finger. The specialist said that there is nothing to do, unknown cause. Will start taking vit B1 from now.
My brother has this ! Scary looking the first time I seen it !
My raynoud's started after I turned to Intermediate fasting and a keto diet. I am eating a lot of eggs, fat fish, cod liver oil, vitamine D3, broccoli, Magnesium, nutritional yeast, multivitamine and multimineral tablets, and I am usually sleeping seven hours or more. It seems to me that what you are listing up as a solution of the problem, - rather has been causing this problem to me, since I never had raynold's before I turned to keto. Please, tell me what I am doing wrong. If it makes a difference, I am 70 years old, have only had raynaud's for 5 years, during the winter season in my fingers, - and I am living in the northern part of Europe.
Iam not a doctor, that is for sure . . . But ideas for one your age (I am 65 w/Raynaud’s) is that perhaps eating through out the day rather than fasting would keep the nutrition and blood circulation (heat generation) more regular through the day. Also, I hope you are not drinking coffee (vasoconstrictor)
Also I would recommend trying out skipping all of those ‘multi vitamins’ pills and see if 2-4 weeks of JUST taking Vit D3 and Niacin (50 mg thrice a day) might help. (You may also want to research Citrulline as it also helps with blood circulation to extremities (it is an Amino Acid)
I first noticed Raynauld’s last November. I had been on the autoimmune protocol diet for oral lichen planus just before. I also did 14: 10 intermittent fasting at that time. I wonder if restricted eating patterns can trigger it. I’m 73.
My Reynauds started with the onset of my Psoriatic Arthritis. First, it was my feet, then my hands, then ears, then nose. Ice cold to the touch even if I'm exposed to a slightly cool breeze it can trigger it. Just staying layered up and wearing gloves has seemed to help in winter. My nose and ears are annoying though it's usually worse in the morning for myself.
Thank you so much. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (connective tissue/genetic condition). My feet turn blue/white/red and are always cold, even in the summer. I'll take the Inositol as well as B1/thiamine. TY
Hi
Did you notice improvement after taking these supplements?
@@itsjadechynoweth5591 yes, actually I do. It's subtle but over time I've definitely noticed improvement. It doesn't cure but it has helped for me.
@@GodListens77 Thank you so much.
Some people use chinese acupuncture, and take propolis & royal jelly capsules with healthy food. Some put their hands in the natural snow until they feel paresthesia, then cover them with a towel until the body returns to its normal temperature automatically without any manual warming.
@@GodListens77 what dosages of each do you take?
Excellent video!! My extremities turn white and cold in the sun occasionally. It’s frightening! Can you a video on what that condition might be if you have time? Love that you’re on Facebook reels now too. Thanks in advance! 🙂
My sis has this and she would feel like she’s having a heart attack. I have similar issues where it’s difficult for blood to be drawn, I have lipedema, etc.
I've found that ginger and cinnamon help with Raynaud's.
B1 and Inositol are niacin.
The recommended dose of niacin is 32 mg. More could cause problems.
B-1 is THIAMIN. Inositol is a natural form of Niacinamide (which is synthetic). 100mg of Thiamin ia standard supplement dose, not sure about the Inositol, but your number is way low. Remember, we are not looking for the least amount to keep a human alive . . .
Interesting. The Inositol hexanicotinate is niacin, a B vitamin in its natural form which most vitamin companies substitute with niacinamide, a synthetic form. Someone just asked me if I have Raynaud's syndrome, so I had to look it up. I don't think so. My nerve issues in my hands are from a disk issue in my neck.
I have this without really any physical sensations. When it’s hot outside or when I’m hot from exercise, my hands turn red, then when it’s too cold they will turn kinda purple. It’s getting embarrassing being in hot weather and having such red hands, especially with pale skin tone it really seems to stand out though nobody has said anything about it to me..
Your symptoms should like what I have. Look up Erythromelagia and see if the symptoms fit. Mine didn't start off painful but is now transitioning.
With Raynaud's your and feet also over heat easier, and become more sensitive/painful in normal temperature
I had this when I was child/ teenager in the winter, it stopped when I used hot water to clean my hands during one whole summer, then the winters after that summer it did not show up again. Weird 😁
really? :O
I have this, too. Fingers and toes turn white and numb from no blood flow. I use a heat pack as well as massaging the area to get blood going again.
So, do you recommend to take B Complex to supplying B1 and B3? What is the best time of the day to take a tablet of B Complex?
In the morning, are vitamins to boost energy ,as well.
I heard about this disorder 2 years ago. I’m 53 yrs old, and it’s a good thing I live in California! I remember turning the heater on, all the time, and my parents would tell me it’s not cold, and I’d show them my blue/purple finger tips. My dad would hold my hands to warm them up. My mom always commented on my cold hands, but as many times as they took me to the doctor for little thing, it was never for this. I think it was because the lab results showed I wasn’t anemic (ok, my mom did mention this). Doesn’t this come with a deformity in the nails? 🙋🏾♀️ I thought I finally subsided, until I went to Iceland in the fall. 33 degrees, and I suffered the 1st few days. I was “prepared”, but not for my body’s reaction. Hot weather, is a bit difficult as well. I just thought it was being a sensitive N Californian. 😊
Yes i find the hot weather difficult as well Eileen
Hey there, I have raynauds too and what helped me a lot was eating beets. Boil them and just eat them. Helped me so much. Also, I take a magnesium citrate supplement that helps act like a vasodilator. Cause it’s a relaxation mineral. Try those! They will help. I also want to try pomegranate fruit. Cause that’s another vasodilator. And avoid caffeine and alcohol! Cause those restrict arteries.
I swear he watches us 🤔
Thank You so much Dr Berg!
You are most welcome!
I’m having difficulty finding B3 & Inositol, plus they all seem to be non-flush. Is a slow release better? Also, any idea of dosage? They come in 250 or 500mg
I have a similar condition but it causes itching, redness, instead of numbness/white happened when i was around 14 first time, let's see if it happens this time!
Look up Erythromelagia and see if the symptoms fit.
My hands used to be blue when in winter...Thanks for the great video!! :)
My pleasure!
@@Drberg Thanks so much for all your great videos!! They have helped me a lot especially with tinnitus which I had suffered great deal. God bless you Dr Berg!! :)
I have 2 clients with this. They both have severe food allergies/celiac.
Interesting. I have it, and I had to stop eating gluten 3 years ago
Yes it is true.I have it and I have food allergies too
Does anyone have information if the covid vaccines will cause harm to someone who has Reynaud's?
Thank you so much for this!
You are so welcome :)
I totally relate with most of the symptoms listed in the comments here, I was never diagnosed by a doctor, despite I always lamented the symptoms, they all kept saying it’s poor blood circulation; my ex sister in law is a doctor and she told me I have this syndrome. Winter and the cold make you feel horrible, you literally can’t walk outside as you can’t feel your hands and you feel needless in your toes. I have to say I have totally bypassed the problem by moving out to a hot country but what happens when I have to go back to my home country in winter for some emergencies? Shall I start a preventative/maintenance treatment now or start the supplements only when I’m supposed to travel to cold weather places? And then I have the same question of others here: is it something curable or can we just make it better with these aides but we have to live with it? Would tumo breathing help in these regards? Ah and I wanted to add I’ve been having cold showers (I live in a hot weather country) and doing the Wim Hof breathing technique for 5 mo, I really hope it helps, but can’t really tell as I’ve haven’t been in the cold after including these habits in my lifestyle.
Gloria, if the R. Disease is only a symptom of your deficiency then worse diseases may follow. Treatment seems better.
Your body might heal in the heat over time. I know people that have healed their chronic conditions because they’ve moved to hot countries.. as long as you’re not stressed. As for me I’m stuck in a horrible cold wet climate but still hopeful
Hi Dr Berg I have raynaud síndrome.. My Ana once came positive for rheumatism but after one year in keto I did again I came negative, the doct said that first one was a false positive my grandma die from lupus I am very concern and can that raynaud could be related with bradicardia, I have very slow heart beat and I am not a athlete. Thanks big fan.
l know someone who deveIoped this after aggressive cancer treatments. She said the damage to the tiny vesseIs from the intravenous chemo is what started it.
Question: how many mg's of these vitamins is recommended?
b1 100 mcg not mg!
@@stickercode Thanks!
i was diagnosed with that two years ago was living a hell life then full of stress alcohol drugs etc
now iam symptom free im doing cold showers and wim hom breaths
How do you perform that breathing tecnique?
@@stickercode type wim hom breathing technique
So what did you do to help the condition? Are you saying the cold showers and wim hof breathing technique solved your issue or that you can do those things now because you solved the issue in other ways?
@@sashachip nutritional yeast and putting hands in ice
@@jordanwatt5526 how much nutritional yeast? It's high in B vitamins so that would make sense with what Dr. Berg is suggesting too.
Inositol Hexanicotinate. How is that different: aka;: how is the mechanism of action different from Inositol Hexanicotinate vs Inositol Hexaphosphate? You said in prior videos IP-6 & Inositol (please forgive my ignorance if I've confused your recommendations) are involved in chelation so best not to take with electrolytes. I'm weaning myself off adderall at 58 I've been on it almost 10 years. I heard you say IP-6 inositol would help. I bought it originally for my little sister with trichotillomania but she scoffed at my suggestion. I hope you read your comments & will respond. Electrolytes depleted by IP-6 Inositol? To be consumed separately?
Please make a new video about adults that are easily distracted & HOW MUCH DAMAGE TO OUR BRAINS & BODIES ADDERALL IS CAUSING. Please. It wakes me up but I know it's affecting my intestines...& my long term prognosis. I'm a dementia nurse, I see how the carbs are hurting my residents. Help me understand how the psyche drugs are down regulating my dopamine & serotonin (?) receptors. Insulin resistance? 90+% of us too well fed Americans
Safflower oil.
Works like a charm. Dr. Oz said it on tv
It works
My father has Raynauds and I occasionally have issues with my toes. If my feet get too cold I'll have a toe go completely white and numb. It usually resolves itself when I warm up again but it can be frustrating. I have never had fingertips go white though.
Hi I just got diagnosed with this I got septicemia and subacute bacterial endocarditis this is one of the side-effects I get from this I also get like shin split pain in muscles like walking in muscles and joints ill try the B1 and see how that goes
17 years old and I am panicking
by the way my hands turn to a temperature sensor in degrees (color indicator🤣)
-213 to 15 blue (the less temp the more blue saturation)
15 to 36 normal white
36 to hell red (the more temp the more red saturation)
I’m wanting to purchase these vitamins but I’m struggling to work out what to buy. Any recommendations? I was looking up the second recommendation with the long name but should I take both???
Thank you
You're welcome!
