Vitamin deficiencies affect your overall health, but will your blood test detect them?

CBC - Complete blood count (measures red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and iron)
BMP - Basic metabolic panel (measures all basic organ systems and a few nutrients)
Neither of these tests will actually detect all of your nutritional deficiencies. What’s happening in the blood is not happening inside the cell.
Classical nutritional deficiencies - Severe deficiencies like scurvy, rickets, pellagra, or beriberi
Subclinical nutritional deficiencies - Could relate to repair, longevity, or protecting the immune system
Subclinical vitamin deficiency symptoms:
• Vitamin A - Problems with night vision
• Vitamin D - Low back pain
• Vitamin E - Weak muscles
• Vitamin K1 - Bruising
• Vitamin B1 - Anxiety
• Vitamin B2 - Cracked corners of the mouth or lips
• Biotin - Problems with your nails and hair loss
• Vitamin C - Bleeding gums and fatigue
How to test nutrient deficiencies:
Use a blood test that evaluates these nutrients off of your lymphocytes. A company called SpectraCell specializes in this.

“Doctors don’t have enough training in vitamin deficiencies “.
That’s because they receive their training from school that are funded by big pharmaceutical companies. Do you honestly think they want doctor do anything other that prescribing expensive drugs?
I really do understand and believe that. If they were to do those tests accurately, it's a big loss for the big pharma industry! I am going to rest Dr Berg's theory..I am going to ask my pcp if there is a way to check which vitamin I am deficient in?
Actually they don't even get any training on it.
the unfortunate truth
Lucian Can you tell me some of those, I‘d really like to test that out... I am not sure about my doctor
12stonesfuel100 I don’t blame you. It’s not even fully the nurses or doctors faults either. Patients want prescriptions. If you try to bring up life style changes or nutrition they just ignore you and ask for a pill
Who agrees with me?? We should have Dr. Berg make us a downloadable cheat sheet for vitamin functions/vitamin deficiencies? He could even charge $1 for it?? A nice go to that everyone can benefit from.
yes please

Just go online you can download it yourself for free

I had ocd for almost an year
Got b12 tested it was 271 low normal
Started taking oral b12
Ocd stopped within a month
And never returned
@@Kube_Dog 😂😂
I always write like this
Wow so happy you figured that out .👊
May I know what was the name of the formulation that worked orally for you. I get low in B12 from time to time. I have had severe deficiency and I need shots every month.
Oh wow man
@@sagek7949 Try this VEGANSAFE™ B-12 from GLOBAL HEALING it's the best b12 out there and it's tincture, I used to have a lot of b12 symptoms and since I fixed my GUT and taking that b12 I feel better now.
Dr. Berg, you, Karen, and your staff are amazing. Just the info about vitamins and their function make this clip so worthwhile. Thank you for being a wonderful part of my days! 😃
I’ve taken many blood tests and have learned absolutely nothing from any of them
Yo sammeeee! Omg I be having all these symptoms and get a blood test done and I’m perfectly normal. Like what?
@@mire1390 whose interpreting the test results for you? It’s one thing to get the tests done. It’s another thing to actually interpret and understand the results. The answers are within the numbers
Always incredibly valuable info. Sometimes a symptom we think is something really bad is just a simple fix with a vitamin or mineral and I’m grateful for doctors like you that share this information with the public. Thank you Dr Berg!
Great content keep them coming!
You are so cool Eric Berg! I have been inspired by your teachings for 3 years now. Thank you for doing what you do :)
This is so good to know! I’ve asked for vitamin deficiency tests before, and was always told I was fine, which now I know may not have been the case. Next time I will do the lymphocyte test 🙂
I have had blood test results for years. Never showed any problems with vitamin. It was you that help me out . Thanks doc.
Amazing. Can we do a list like that for all important vitamin deficiencies symptoms? Thank you so much
Sadly most of people’s can not pay for non covered tests
Just start taking vitamin b12 and see if their ocd goes away. Most people are low in it.
Lab websites usually have CPT codes for test, and if you have a CPT and diagnosis code you can call your insurance company and see how much they would pay the performing lab. Just remember that the lab may charge more than insurance pays so you can check that too.
Many poor patients don’t have private insurance in Canada
I agree, the more tests they do beyond the normal CBC test COSTS the patient out of pocket money because insurance companies only cover the BASICS. As you said Naima, MOST people CANNOT afford to pay for these non-covered tests. There are MILLIONS and MILLIONS of sick and disabled humans living on LIMITED INCOMES due to our illness and disabilities. BUT there is NO EXTRA HELP for any of us. SADLY we cannot properly treat ourselves well enough to even TRY to live a BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE. The worst part is our government and insurance companies DON'T CARE. I could go on and on here but I'll save this rant for one of my upcoming videos.

Is this person in Canada? They don't have any low income clinics? I thought a lot of people thought Canada had great coverage. I am sorry to hear that.
Thanks Dr. Berg, I recently had a blood test done by a new a Dr. I'm seeing. This sheds more light on what I'm trying to find out and gives me more hope! Blessings to you! 😊👍
Thank you so much dr berg..this is great, great info♥️
Wonderful as always! Well done!
👍😎 Very good video! I always wonderd why magnesium is so difficult to determin in tests. Thank you!
Why can’t there be more doctors like Doctor Berg? This man is a blessing. Thank you for teaching us so much.
I am whole foods plant based and asked for B12 and D testing on my last bloodwork and was advised that insurance won't pay for it unless you show a deficiency. Ridiculous!
Did you test anyway? I’m one to believe it’s worth the cost regardless if insurance covers. Don’t let that stop you.
Thank you berg for your valuable information 🙂 it's really helpful to me
You will never need to promote or affiliate with anyone as you are doing well . Feel so proud of your achievements. Especially because it's towards helping others and not a typical business that has manipulation in every way possible. Salute s .
Wow!! Thanks Dr B! Soo helpful!
Thank you Dr. Berg very interesting to know, I'm saving this video to my watch list!!! God Bless You and Your Family Dr. Berg FOREVER AMEN🙇♀️✝️🙏
Doctor, what is diet or vitamins you recommend? Thanks so much for all the information you provide.
Thank you Dr Berg. Very informative.
Thank you, Dr Berg.
This was my question!! Thank you 🙏
Another excellent post! Thank you
great info as usual, thanks Dr B.
You are our angel Doctor 😊 Bless you and your family Dr Berg🙏❤️ thank you very much 🌹
Yes he's amazing
Great Job!!! I love to listen to this guy!!!!
Good to know! Thanks Dr.Berg. ☺️
Thank you Dr Berg!
Awesome Video Dr Berg! Thanks for clarifying.
I wanted to ask you about the reliability/accuracy of the hair tests for micronutrient deficiencies. Because they are becoming trendy right now.
When a certain micronutrient is found lacking in the hair, does that mean the body is deficient in it?
I recently got back my hair test results: I am allegedly deficient in Methionine, Leucine, Glycine, calcium, iron , Zinc, B3 and vitamin C.
What a doctor ! My favorite one.
GREAT INFO DR BERG!💃🤸♀️
Thanks for info Dr Berg!!!! 👍🏼
very beneficial Vitamins Vedio Dr E Berg thankyou
Thank you Dr. Berg. SpectraCell isn't available in my state, are there any other micronutrient tests you recommend besides them?
Dr Berg, I saw a video of yours from 2013. It's amazing how you've lost so much fat. I don't think I've come across such a video of you then and now, but it would be inspirational.
You know, Dr. Berg, we have a lot fun joking with you, sometimes but trust me, I take every morsel of your words, very seriously. I'm trying to get myself well, again! It takes a lot of hard work to do what you do. You are truly an inspiration to so many people.
The last blood test I had, I didn’t eat for 24 hours because I thought it would clear some of the ‘pork fat’ out of my system from the bbq I made.
The doc looked at the numbers and said, “You were fasting, I can tell.. You shouldn’t starve yourself!! That was PK (pre-Keto) when I weighed over 300 lbs. and before I ever received an education from Dr. Berg.
Now, I’m due for the next blood test/Dr. visit in two weeks. I’ve been on Keto/IF for 3 months and I’m down 50 lbs. I can’t wait for him to say something negative in light of my blood pressure and waistline having some meaningful improvements. Thanks Dr. B!
Congratulations 🎉

You know it. I know it. Who is Berg kidding?
: )
PortCanon keep it up!!
My oldest sister has lots of varicose veins in her legs. But she keeps drinking her pasteurized orange juice with no complex C and way too much sugar. She's also gained more weight. After seeing all of my health improvements, she still only listens to her doctor who keeps giving her pills. Meanwhile, my 83 yr old mother has changed her diet. Not drastically, but enough that she has more energy and feels better.
I cured my anxiety with B Complex plus and additional B1. It works! Thank you Dr. Berg.
I have horrible social anxiety and sometimes panic attacks. That’s really cool that B Complex and B1 worked for you but B Complex increased my anxiety substantially. I’m going to try the B1. Are you still doing well? Do you still have to take these vitamins?
@@MartyMcFly506 only recently in the past few months have I learned about vitamin B1 and its benefits I would continue using it if it's helping you.
Hello Dr. Berg! Here in Germany the doctor advises you to take vitamin D only, but I have some of these symptoms that you mentioned so I should ask for help from my family doctor. Thank you for this valuable informations. You are a great person!
My vitamin D was so low that when I was taking 2000 iu of vitamin D the blood test still showed I was low! Now I take 4000iu and I feel so much better.
Berg suggests you need 10,000
@@boxinggloves1699 at least 10,000 if not more. I take 20,000 being that it's winter time because I get SAD.
How u came to know that u had vitamin d deficiency?
My biological dentist prescribed me magnesium just before bed this activates the vit d3 and k2 I take first thing in the morning
i would love to hear your views on Complete and Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block.
and is it possible to cure it.
Dr Berg, what is your opinion about elemental analysis of the hair?
Hello, great information. Can you tell what deficiency causes high platlets?
Thank you! I just found out I had a potassium deficiency from a blood test and learned from your videos that’s why I was retaining some fluids in my ankles and why I was so salt sensitive. Definitely going to check this out. Thank you for the recommendation for a blood test always wanted to know what test to take
Can you share your results and improvements of swelling?
Short and sweet. The reference to SpecraCell is very helpful. Thank you!
Most general practitioners wouldn’t order a test like this for you unfortunately.
Do you know a type of doctor who would?
Thanks for a great lesson that goes beyond the norm.
Lucian Naturopathic Doctor. Thanks for the info.
Yes, I always had Backache before taking D. Grr. Thank you for sharing this very important information with us all. Take care of yourself, & Happy Sunday to you & yours. ❤🙂🐶
Could you pl.tell me what you are taking for it..i too suffer from severe low backpain.tnx in advance
Hi Maxi, how did you fix you back pain?
I take 10,000iu off D3 a day, with K2, been taking it for over 10 years, but also gave up Aspertame around the same time, I had backache alot before then. It definitely helps reduce any inflammation, but this past year Keto & IF has also lowered my inflammation to, so it's probably a combination off all those things really. Also like in Dr Bergs other video today, applying heat to any muscle pain really helps, like using muscle rubs, I make my own, but Tiger balm is brilliant for rubbing on a sore back. Not sure if that helped much. 🤗 Take care Mukta & Dyah. ❤🙂🐶
@@maxibake9323 anything helps. Thank you for sharing :)
@@dyahviona Your very Welcome Dyah.👍🤗 Take care. ❤🙂🐶
My favorite doctor of truth!! Dr berry too 🤗🤗
Good evening dr .Thank you
Hmmm this is interesting. I just had my primary doctor test my blood and they did the basic CBC panel. I didn’t request anything specific but it did come back I’m slightly Vitamin D deficient. I don’t have any low back pain nor nose bleeds though. They told me to take a 1000 iu Vitamin D daily but I purchased yours Dr. Berg and I’m taking that now.
Dr. Berg, you mentioned the Spectracell Company but not which test. Isn't this test you are referring to VERY EXPENSIVE? pls advise which test with them. thank yoU! love your videos!
Dr Berg, I’m doing keto with vegetables as you recommend, with particular interest in protecting my liver. What about when I do extended fasting? I assume during such periods I would not eat vegetables, but I would be processing fat through my liver. Is that a problem? Thanks....
What about blood tests that show deficiencies in low iron and allergies to certain foods such as milk or nuts? Should we be taking these to alert ourselves that we can no longer eat them anymore or are they base line numbers?
Wish I saw this video earlier. Today my holistic doctor recommended the same test. Dr.Berg you give out lots of information for free. This is uncommon with holistic practitioners who learn a bit and want to make money using that bit. You are a gift to some people who would like to do self-care with little bit of teaching.
Is the test called?
@christinaalban3717 It is mentioned in the video and in description. Spectracell Nutrient deficiency test
this is only for canada and the us. is there something like this for the EU
its not even for all the US. whatever, its pretty expensive and im sure my insurance doesnt cover it.... ill figure something out through my doctor
Please do a video on blood test results like low white blood cells
Thoughts on fermented whole food vitamins? @drberg
Namaste🙏🏻 Dr Eric 💓....Could Share A Video On How To Keep "Blood Homocysteine Low" And Also Do A Video On " Arteries Calcification " And How To Prevent It . Thank's And Love From India 🇮🇳 .
Wowww...I just simply admire you😍
What about omegas? Are those also included in the tests you recommend?
Bless you doctor
Do you have any Canadian recommendations? Thanks
Is spectracell still the best or is there a more accurate company for micronutrient testing?
Is genova's panel any good! Nutraeval? They're expensive!
please make a video on natural treatment for uterus adenomyosis
How can you absorb vitamins into your cell better? All of my vitamin blood work is in toxic levels (i supplement a lot) but I have vitamin deficiency symptoms.
Can you make a video for this?
I did hair testing; and they told me I was literally deficient in every digestive enzyme , and or good gut bacteria and that makes perfect sense as to why my digestion is so bad. Any suggestions Doc ?
Try get gum Arabic or Arabic gum powder but make sure it's a supplement for health... Example one company call it Al-Manna gum Arabic... There's a doctor from Sudan makes this powder and it's super powerful for gut bacteria that will help rebalance and help alot.. take time and search.. good luck
@@MaryAnntoinette I'd just watch the video about mastic gum.... Urm it's a totally different trees and gum.. in two different places
Why are all these tests never allowed in some states and how does one get around that issue?
I struggled with the keto diet too much, I just felt exhausted. We are supposed to enjoy the food we eat and with keto that's close to impossible. That's why I tried the *Agoge diet* and it works great.
Very nice video ✋ 😎 motivation
Could you make a video about how would you go about using potatoes in order to gain muscle mass please? In one of your videos on that subject you said you’d suggest potatoes. How would you ensure to separate the fat from the potatoes? Is it ok to have the fats at the end of the meal or should o e wait at least 1 hr before having the fat? And would you still have 75% fats (healthy) in your overall diet?

Another question - do you think sarcoidosis, for the mass amount of people diagnosed, is a bs diagnosis???? I was diagnosed they wanted a lymph node (pulmonologists). I said heck no. I was diagnosed on a ct* scan and hilar lymphanopathy and a lung nodule that never went away by the Denver va* +. Well I later took several rounds of doxycyline, one round of flucanozole and started rotating vitamins separately taking some every other day. I watched your video on Keto and took your advice on EATING ARGUELA. After that a lot of my symptoms went away. My calcium reads normal....but could I really have high calcium? Arguela has calcium and magnesium....but why does it make my kidneys feel fantastic?
Hi Dr Berg
I been having a mild headache for about two weeks now on and off. I have been take your Electrolytes powder, Your Nutritional Yeast and taking a TSP of Himalayan pink Salt and it's not going away. Can you please help?
You should explain that there are tests like Magnesium RBC and Potassium RBC to get the answers....
Hey Doc is there a reliable test for neurotransmitters that you recommend ?
Dr. Berg my finger joints on my right hand are getting soar joint pain, I’m unable to bed my thumb it really stiff, I’ve been doing Keto for 2 weeks, what is happening and what do I need to take to correct this? Thank you
Dr. Berg... Can you comment if whether or not taking 1 tsp. a day of Blackberry extract 4250mg is helpful for our immune system? Thank you in advance!
@drburg all starts in gut would love to see interview kiran krishnan microbiologist on the gut really really technical stuff thank you would love it
I’m reading more about mineral balancing. Would you give us your expert opinion about balancing minerals using hair analysis which they say is more accurate info?
Can you be my doctor?!?!?!? Love your channel!!!!
Excellent advice and information ☝🏻
Wow, thank you so much!!! That is information I can use now to get properly tested..I know I am deficient in Vitamins and for a long time, do to TMJ, tooth loss, migraine headaches, slow emptying of the stomach, constipation, AxSpA, so much pain from my neck down to by toes! The combination of all of these has left me very depleted in nutrients. I have spoken to the doctor and wouldn't ya know they ran just the 2 tests and said eat more.....Are they kidding, I can't eat more I will not be able to eat a proper diet of food until I have the remainder of my teeth pulled and dentures put in and on top of that it is hard af to eat with dentures when you have a jaw that continuously locks and extremely painful to chew your food!!! I swear no one helps the little bit younger people who happen to have illnesses that resemble an older persons ailment on top of them! Im 45 and have an auto immune spinal arthritis that has caused huge bone spurs on my neck C4 to C6 and scoliosis from my rib cage to my sacrum. L4-L5 have another bone spur and both places, neck and lower back have bulging discs, stenosis and bone spurs have made contact with spinal cord!! not to mention the Jaws, hips shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles, hands, fingers, toes and feet .. All major joints are effected and I have osteoporosis in my si joints and sacrum..The sacrum has multiple stress fractures on top of it..My pelvis is unstable and I can not get any Doctor I have seen in specialties have just sent me Dr. to Dr. and all have different ideas but have not implemented or even told me what it is they plans to do...The primary care DR pawns me off to all the specialists and never makes contact with any of them just the chart notes!!
The feeling i get is that they don't expect some one who is 45 to have the troubles of an 80 year old, and Im treated as the i just don't know patient and because I wont do biologic s because they caused cancer and tuberculosis in my sister and we have the same genetic makeup!!
Thank you if any one reads this far!!! I just thought I I spill it on here, someone might have something similar and have any ideas on how to combat any of this.. I am willing to read anyone's comments, or anything they want to share on this post...
Thank you,
Thank you!!
I suggest you start by having some 15 tablespoons of nutritional yeast and wheatgrass juice powder & electrolytes.

So I recently discovered in 2019 when I had a blood test in November. My vitamin d was 10.9 and in 2021 of august it was 20.1 and my doctors NEVER EVER told me about it and I never got a phone call! The only reason I found out today was because I remembered about an account I had to check my urine and blood test. I’m going to go off on them in 2 weeks
What do you think of the documentary on Netflix Game Changers. They advocate plate based diet, show casing high performance athletic that eat plant based high carbs diets (not white sugar).
They all say they started performing much better after making the switch.
They also demonstrate how any fatty food stays in the blood for 6-8 hours after a meal.
I generally onboard with the principales of the ketogenic diet, but i tend to agree that meats are not good and cause cancers (inflammatory). Did anyone else watch that documentary?

Hello dr Berg. I just started watching your videos. I need some information on how to correct the high testosterone levels in teenage girls. Is high testosterone levels also affect progestin levels which can cause cyst in the brain. Can you please share some info on these things. Thanks.
I can't believe this. My MD, which the FDA, American Cancer Society and NIH tell me are experts in nutrition, told me that I get all the nutrients I need from food. Someone needs to explain the widespread nutrient deficiencies to the medical establishment.
It's how the doctors are being educated and by whom. Which are supported by Pharma.
I just went to their website and it states that this tests can not be collected or delivered to CA 😕
What's your opinion on the "Game Changers"?
That is why l eat variety of food to cover all the nutritional spectrum thanks Dr Berg!
