I had an office job for over 24 years and it was killing me and my vision was horrible. I decided to humble myself and get a job with UPS as a seasonal driver and I have to admit, being outside all day and after the sun goes down and looking at the numbers on houses to drop off packages has improved my vision significantly. I can clearly see at night now after a month of working there; not to mention I lost 14 lbs. On top of my diet, eating my keto and vitamins, especially vitamin A. I am a female, age 49.
When doing nutrition consulting, in the absence of bloodwork and the specialized equipment, I'd ask a simple question: "If you go into a dark movie theater, how long does it take your eyes to adjust to the darkness--5 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds or a minute?" If the answer is more than 15 seconds, there was a good chance they were vitamin A deficient. I had one occasion to be a bit arrogant when a woman came into my health food store. After greeting her, I asked her, "Have you considered that the reason you get chest colds is because of your low vitamin A levels?" It was a jaw-dropping moment for her. She had come during the evening wearing sunglasses, and I noticed her skin that showed signs of inflammation. When asked why she wore sunglasses even when it was dark, she said she thought it looked cool. After she had taken vitamin A for a couple of weeks, she returned for more; her skin looked better, and she was not wearing sunglasses! When asked why, she said she thought it was better for people to see her eyes when communicating. No one's brain is going to spontaneously relate sensitivity to bright lights and glare to a lack of vitamin A, but will instead resolve the "cognitive dissonance" by a comfortable rationalization such as looking cool. We had an extended conversation regarding the multiple roles vitamin A plays with vision, skin health, and immune response of the lungs and mucus membranes (your "skin" on the inside).
Vitamin a and vitamin D fight a bit for dominance. It’s good to get a blood test to make sure you’re supplementing the right thing and not getting a toxic amount of the wrong thing. It would actually make sense for me to have a vitamin a deficiency for three reasons beyond the difficulty seeing in the dark while young. One I don’t eat vitamin a rich foods. Two I heavily supplement with vitamin D. I never drink alcohol, yet my liver could actually be better for my age. Again, even some pharmacist will test your blood to see if you have deficiencies in an area.
I started taking cod liver oil because I watched one of your previous videos regarding it. I was having a really bad case of dry eyes. I kept artificial tears in my purse and had a few around the house like that's how bad it was even bought 3 warm mist humidifiers. I've tried omega 3 fish oil in the past but would break out in a rash so I was truly hesitant on trying cod liver oil, and the artificial tears was losing its touch.... But after giving the cod liver oil a try my eyes feel so much better now. I haven't had to use any artificial tears. Thank you so much 💓
@@Bambina336 i take the Norwegian Wild caught Cod liver in the can. It has loads of A and D3 vitamins. I also save the oil from the can and then take a spoon daily. The brand is iCan. Dr. Berg recommended this as well.
@@Bambina336 I take Spring Valley cod liver oil capsules. It has both vitamin A and D3 in it which caught my attention. But thank you for mentioning primrose oil. I'll look into that 😊
100% agree with you about getting out and looking around especially if you are stuck inside the home or office. Since COVID and being stuck working at home the last +2.5 yrs, my eye sight got drastically worse. I force myself to get out and walk everyday and look far ahead as much as possible. It has helped but my vision hasn’t corrected, it has stopped it from getting worse. Thanks for the advice!
My so-called vitamin A deficiency signs turned about to be caused by low zinc status. The metabolism of vitamin A into retinaldehyde and retinoic acid, the active forms, requires zinc at each metabolic step. I needed Zinc picolinate before I was able to absorb and correct properly.
I’m deficient in zinc too have been taking 100-200 mg zinc picolinate daily. Toxic mold & tick diseases & plant based diet ruined my health. Now I eat 95% meat, eggs, animal fats and slowly improving. Been slowly adding in chicken liver - I mix it into ground beef. I know I should eat red meat liver but the taste is so strong!
@@shantube75 Mind blowing but this new school of thought has a lot of merit. I wonder why so many people are low, or at least their symptoms correct by supplementing, zinc, magnesium, potassium, manganese, boron, selenium, chromium, iodine, molybdenum. Makes me wonder what is going on. Modern farming methods?
I think it's more the craze on supplementing staples with retinoids combined with a population that is taxing their liver and bile flux. Bile is a primary route in the elimination of Retinoids and Carotenoids from that same school of thought! Regardless, I am very conflicted at this moment
@@shantube75 And are you aware of the research associating moderate to high vitamin A status with weight gain, obesity, and diabetes? Vitamin A is a nutrient that is rising in dietary consumption and fortification. Vitamin A has a counterbalancing relationship with vitamin D. My vitamin D would not go up to a good level until I stopped vitamin A. Presumably zinc is being used up in it's role as a vitamin A detoxifier. Explains a lot. I followed Weston A Price Foundation dietary advice for many years. I used to joke that WAPF diet was the "gain weight diet". Mind blowing for sure.
This makes a lot of sense. When I was sick with mold illness, one of my first symptoms was trouble seeing in the dark. I've recently been diagnosed with lyme and am starting to have problems with night vision again. My low vit A has my doctor thinking I'm being affected by mold again.
You just described some symptoms I have been suffering with for years! All the symptoms of Sjogrens but standard tests say no. I had my galbladder removed in my 20's
Here in Shenzhen (I'm a US citizen residing here!), my eye doctor is originally from India but has been trained internationally, and also serves as a professor for ophthalmologists. His wisdom includes an amazing amount of preventative and nutritional knowledge regarding the eyes and their relationship to the body.
Even if an indian doctor isn't trained internationally but in India. He is going to be good and knowledgeable one.. Bcz in India doctors got more opportunities to practice and medicine in India follows strict and rigorous trainings and examinations.. Actually indian medicine school is one of the best around the world
God bless you Dr Berg. I literally been having dry eye a long time and just ordered Nytridyn Fish Liver Vitamin a yesterday before this video. You have awesome content and good timing and you are blessed with this information and giving it to the masses.
I started carnivore a few weeks ago due to sensitivity to vegetables, and the other night i peeled onto the road and I thought everyone had their high beams on! My vision is a lot more clear, eczema is going away, my quality of sleep has improved, less hair fall, mood stable, libido increased but still aiming for less bloating.
@@susanwaldron2055Dr Ken Berry is entirely carnivore advocate.Dr Berg has mentioned that carnivore is your elimination point if nothing else is working but he is not deeply extensive in carnivore diet.
Carnivore diet FTW. You should do sun gazing in the morning, your eyes will become 'stronger' so that the bright car lights at night don't dazzle you...
Yeah carnivore diet 💪🏼 it has been improving my health slowly but surely. I do raw eggs most days too. Last 7 years I’ve been slowly eliminating plants from my diet bcs I realized I’ve been reacting to them. Then this year I found Nutrition with Judy channel and Dr Chaffee and now I don’t feel guilty for not eating my veggies or fruit lol. I’ve trimmed down and gained lean muscle. Looking good and slowly been feeling better (toxic mold & tick diseases + plant based diet destroyed my health)
@@susanwaldron2055 check out Nutrition with Judy channel. Lots of interviews - many are carnivores like Judy is. Dr Chaffee has a channel, Dr Shawn Baker, Dr Ovadia, and others are interviewed. Jordan Peterson and his daughter Michalia (sp?) went carnivore - she had juvenile arthritis like my daughter does and going carnivore put her into remission and got her off meds. She was interviewed on Joe Rogan show
It would be interesting to see a graph of the number of subscribers each year for Dr. Berg. I’ve been watching for the past five years. Congratulations on 9 million subscribers!
I don’t think we can appreciate enough the knowledge of self-care and root cause oriented health care that Dr. Eric Berg is passionate about sharing with us. This is the true nature of where the Study of Medicine should always find its purpose. Thank you Sir.
@@christianpowerssavesthewor8404 🤣🤣 seriously your on a rant just to rant. First you get on the guy for saying berg did more for him then his dad. Now you think he rapped his mom and you have no idea of the context he was posting from. All I did was simply tell you what you should have told him. Honor thy father and mother. Now your defending him. 😂😂
Evening Primrose Oil pills helped me with dry eyes after I tried every single eye drops out there and nothing worked. However, my night vision is getting worse so this was a good reminder to take vitamin A too. Thank you Dr. Berg!
@@living2day617 I don't think so. I never even heared of it before. All he told me is that everything looks fine but I'm farsighted in one eye and shortsighted in another so he suggested glasses. However, another eye doctor gave me glasses years ago for that same thing and I was having bad headaches every time I'd use them. I don't wanna spend couple hundred of $$$ on glasses and than have the same thing happen, but I'm also worried that by not wearing them, I might be doing more damage.
I know your comments a bit older. But he’s pointing out to get the vitamins from food source, people can overdo it by taking straight up vitamins. Cod liver oil is a great source for the vitamin a and D that you need in balance.
Great video. I suggest exercising your eyes as well. Staring at the screen all day and not getting out to look at the trees will cause the muscles around your eye to atrophy. Getting out to look at things far away as well as simple exercises for your eyes are a great idea. Of course, nutrition is always key!!
Thanks, as always great information. I usually take Cod Liver Oil capsules daily. When I was a child, my Mother gave us spoonfuls of it - no Capsules then! I liked the taste of it. Can't do Beef Liver. Just hate Liver!
I used to and still do occasionally excersise my eyes by focusing on something close and then far away for about 20 reps. Everyone in my family wears glasses but me.
I am having a spoonful of cod liver oil every day. Since I started doing this, I rarely become sick. I am carefully though, since I could get vitamin A poisoning if taking too much of it. It's a known problem from cod liver oil and the recommended amount should not be overthrown.
@@huynguyen7572 I am using a no name brand for veterinary use for racing horses. Then it is guaranteed to be really fresh and carefully prepared, since horses are very picky. The price is about $20 per Liter. I have had it tested a long time ago and it was confirmed to be identical to the much more expensive (3-5 x) human use product. One bottle lasts for about 4 months. As a safety check, I give a bit to my cats before trying a new brand. They have a way better understanding of quality than I have. Dogs may do the job too, but they are more tolerant to rancidity.
Ever since my teenage years i developed this sensitivity to artificial lighting and have trouble looking at screens. I also have issues seeing in the evening inside with all the lightbulbs and leds. Only daylight soothes my eyes. I also developed astigmatism but my eyesight is almost perfect.
Thank you Dr Berg. Your videos are invaluable and you are the best teacher . I've never received such information from any doctor so far and I suspect it's because they probably stopped educating themselves after med school. I've been having periodic blurred vision or poor vision since the last few months . I've seen two ophthalmologists . They found nothing wrong on examination and I was prescribed drops for dry eyes. However, that has not really helped with focus beyond the feeling of relief from dryness. I am 57, not diabetic, and my TSH is normal. The ophthalmologist and my GP were unable to explain why I am having less than desirable vision. A Vitamin-A deficiency seems to be a plausible reason . I'll explore that angle. Thanks a ton. You're a blessing
I had night blindness. The Dr. Didn't relate it to nutrition deficiency but I was already reading in the 1970s author Adelle Davis. Bought cod liver oil , took a teaspoon of that every day for a while and the night blindness went away. I know that you can over do the oil based vitamin A . I drink carrot juice often nowadays.
I remember reading that vitamin A is fat soluble, not water. So you don't pee it out like excess B vitamins. It builds up in your fat stores. You can have too much. I would probably get my levels tested and go from there. I take Lutein for my eyes, it has helped dramatically with night blindness. Might do some cod liver oild every now and then now.
Dr Berg you saved my life when I was having heavy legs and deficult breathing then went my GP when I saw your video saying If you have air hunger take B1. I took it then fixed. Now I have same problem with the thumbnail picture (lights get more volume). I also have heart palpitation, difficult breathing, dry eyes and hair loss. This video says more about that thanks. I ordered Lugol's solution to test if I have iodine deficiency. I also should get vitamin A. I was made an appointment many times, each time they check my blood then send me home with no results. Dr berg you are blessed one and real saviour in this world. I can't thank you enough. I am taking notes each of your video in RUclips or other social media. ❤❤
The picture you have for this video " caught my eye " .... it is what I use to see at night ..... I started to take your cod liver oil supplement , months ago and and when I drove at night and when it was raining , I could see so much better ! .... my eyes do not get as tired as they did before ... not sure it is the supplement but they are not as tired .
I 100% have had this and what I did was I'd practice focusing on a close object in the foreground then background and repeat, then after a few days, would practice focusing on a further object, then a further object. I never thought it could be because of a lack of vitamin a but everything lines up, I figured it was because I was looking at screens to much and the muscles in my eyes where weakening.
Don’t know about USA , but in the UK you can’t get vitamin A as a direct supplement because somebody ( possibly European authorities as usual ) got it banned. You used to be able to buy it in capsule form , just like any other fat soluble, oil based supplements. I think they said they wanted to save the fish from which the supplement is extracted. Doesn’t seem to weigh up when there is still Omega 3 and cod liver oil supplement still available.
I read an article when my three children were very young about the children of Alaska having excellent eyesight until they started them in kindergarten at five years of age instead of six years of age. The children began to have to wear glasses. Obviously too much close up eye strain at too young of an age! The article recommended for children to take a lot of breaks during the day, go outside and try to find a squirrel in the tree or a bird in the distance and specifically practice using their long distance vision. I did this with my three children while I homeschooled them and none of them to this day wear glasses. They are all grown adults in their 30s. 😊
@@rebeccacrelley9677 Yes recess is good, but obviously is not enough as can be seen with the Alaskan children. Too much time at a desk having to sit still while being indoctrinated 🙄
Just yesterday I read a comment on one video of Dr. Berg, how we are having a serious health problem then after a day to a week we have all what we need in a video, how amazing is that! Thanks Dr.Berg
I'm 45 years old, i don't wear glasses, I'm healthy weight and go to the gym 3-5 times a week. I find that if i get less than 7 hours sleep, the next day i cant focus on close objects as good as when i sleep 8 hours plus, especially when looking at my phone or trying to read something. Its even worse if i drink alcohol the night before, and worse in low levels of light. I always thought its just my age, or im on my computer too much, but now im gonna try consuming more Vitamin A. Thanks again Dr B
My ophthalmologist talked about grade school children are coming in with annual changes of 1 diopter or more. Doctors are now trying to come up with preemptive treatments, a few are close to approval. They know very well phones are damaging kids eyes.
I'm so grateful for your videoes and so is my mum now. 😄 You have such a wellrounded approach to health which I feel is lacking in many doctors (here in Scandinavia at least). Thank you! ❤️
I was having trouble with my eyes, especially my right eye. When I would blink I would notice strange persistence of vision spots that would appear for an instant. I was having trouble with car headlights and also street lights. Also my right eye was feeling some minor soreness. I went to the eye clinic and they gave my eyes a complete examination. They told me this was normal for someone in his mid 50's, and that I didn't have glaucoma, a detached retina, macular degeneration or any other problem. I went away sort of relieved but they offered me no solutions. Obviously I needed to solve my own problem. It didn't take me more than an hour to so searching online to realize that I needed some Vitamin A. I actually ran out and bought some beta carotene and started taking it. My problems began to resolve within a few days. No more soreness, no more blinking visual effects, and no more persistence of vision problems. The eye specialist never mentioned nutritional solutions to me. I will never go back there again. Since then I have successfully helped two other people who were experiencing eye trouble by telling them about vitamin A.
Since I’m farsighted and need reading glasses, going outside for a nice long walk looking into the distance works wonders to relax my eyes . . . but for my extremely nearsighted adult children (24 & 22) they either wear contacts or glasses, so how can they get any relief especially from wearing these visual-aides all day long? Also Dr. Berg, can you please talk about floaters, why some people have them and how to get rid of them? Thanks a bunch for all you do! 🤓
In my 50’s and I dislike driving at night. It seems like there are 50,000 different types of headlights now that try and blind me. When it rains at night and all the glare of lights on the road I can’t even tell half the time where the lines are. Thank you for clarifying the bugs bunny carrot thing bc I sure couldn’t even eat 20lb of carrots. What’s up Doc?
I’ve had difficulty night driving since Cataract Surgery. I’ve purchased the night driving tinted glasses at Walmart. For $12.00, the halogen headlights aren’t as blinding!!! I’ve never used the flip switch on my rear view mirror so much!!
You should try sun-gazing in the morning to improve your eyes resistance to bright lights / car lights at night. It has other benefits too!! It's free and easy to do, takes 5 mins.
Unrelated to the video but I've done some reading on autophagy and was shocked to read that it can aggravate certain cancers and encourage them rather than protect against them. Would be interesting to see a video on this supposed double edged sword.
I have memories of having very good night vision as a little girl. Then something changed. I was the only one in the family ( 8 in my immediate family , and
Aside from having bright blue eyes (from being born with PKU and re-diagnosed to Mild Benign HPU) apparently, I don't need to worry about this simply because my night vision is WAY too good. If even a single light is on somewhere in the house, it's enough for me to be able to see without problem. Makes it nearly impossible for me to get good sleep without the house being black-out dark.
I ate a lot of carrots and veggies in high school .my eyes where great . Also use to work natural light . Well that all went away . Had a nutrition book and they doct send vitamin a and potassium . I take about 10.000 units of vitamin a 2 to 10 times a day . My eyes are improving 100 percent . I take biles salts .and lutein and you need the right zink . Thank you Dr Berg . I take biles salts , and potassium , and zink glicine because of you ..
I really like when you talk of precursor bioavailability. Could you also make a habit of mentioning half life and stacking/reserve? Like if you are carrots every day without fail surely you wouldn't need 20lbs every day for the effects to remain present? And based on pill intake, how long do stuff remain in your body for instance i know with magnesium of you take more than your body can absorb you pee/poop the extra. And when it comes to 5htp there is a maximum speed of conversation into serotonin so there's no point taking more than needed either. Would love these details in your videos about all nutrients and minerals :3
I had a lot of trouble for years driving at night. Been low carb 13 years now. Eat lots of butter and eggs. But doing way better now. Better than both of my children. One is vegan and has the most problems. The other has a medical condition were she must limit vitamin A. So if they visit, the old lady does the night driving at night. Many people can not convert beta carotene to retinal A.
Hello Dr. Berg, it is me again in these beautiful comment section: i am a comercial driver and yes, I noticed I have trouble at night with the street lanes or fixed objects on the road (to distinguish) i will start eating beef liver. I have tried it before and it tastes really good! 🐀 rat as in Mouse/MICE milk? I am still baffled !!!
I immediately got excited, but had to stop SHORT. I have type two diabetes PLUS NA Cirrhosis of my liver. And a huge no-no is taking any Vitamin A. HOWEVER, I do have an appt. on 11-6-2023, and this is the first item on my bucket list to discuss with my doctor.
@@di4085 Thank you for asking. Labs were done on Vitamin A. I was normal. This started a huge war between me and my Hepatologist because of what Vitamin A can do to harm the liver. I had started going to a new P.C., since mine retired. I told her that I wanted to “ try taking a small amount of Vitamin A, and that if she agreed, we could do Vitamin A Labs every 4 months, to see what the affects will be and whether I am to stay on the amount, lower it, or stop “. So, this is how we left it. The night of 11-6-2023, I started taking Vitamin A daily. After that one day in Opthalmology where my eyes responded soooooo positively, I have not had any further response. However, my gums appear to be responding and also my nails are getting stronger. So, I am encouraged……the doctors are waiting to pounce…….and I am butt-headedly still taking it every night. For ME……the goal is getting my eyes in better shape. For the doctors, THEIR goal is to have a moment of pure glee as they prove me wrong. Et voil’a…….
Im a bit cofused, how about the Beef Liver? Eat it raw? That is realy chlenge. I love thesese realy well packed and maximaly compeherensible videos! Thanks for them!
I’ve had night blindness most of my life until giving up oxalates. I didn’t realise that oxalates could cause it. It was a huge shock when I could see at night so clearly.
@@di4085 Sally k Norton’s website has a list of foods, and she explains things well. I thought I was eating healthy for years with greens, nuts, buckwheat, almond flour, fruit etc etc and many are high in oxalates.
Wow, this describes all of my recent problems. In recent years I have became afraid of driving at night in unfamiliar areas. Edit: I was so excited about this that I forgot to say thank you. So, thank you so very much Doc.
Hi Dr Berg /team! Would the red palm oil contain decent amount of retinol? We often use it in several dishes but also topically apply on skin to help in wound healing etc. Many thanks!
Doc thanks for caring enough to educate us on how to be better stewards of our bodies, you’re truly a blessing and priceless! Now maybe you can help me in the area of focus and overcoming distraction when i hear the words “rat milk” 😂 Make it a great day Doc ❤
I remember your video quite a few years ago where you tlsaid to look at things in the distance to counteract this spasm. Ill have to start doing this! I take beef liver capsules daily.
Hey Dr Berg, thanks for your educative presentations. One question please, has Nyctalopia any relationship or commonalities with Photophobia (or light sensitivity)?
I brought this glasses, its plastic and instead of glasses it has black plastic with heaps of holes. So you have to focus really well and then ypu you can see a bird 30 plus meters in the tree. Its absolutely funtastic. Dr. Berg make heaps of holes in a paper and look through.. . I try to train my eyes now. Its the 3rd year were my eyes have not changed .
I've studied health issues since 2010 and find it amusing that when some doctors have no answer they fall back on using genetics or hereditary to bail them out. I know now that it isn't their fault because they're not taught this in their medical education. It is too bad that they all do not continue educating themselves as Dr. Berg has done.
In 2005 I stopped wearing my eyeglasses and 13 years later I passed my driver's license eye exam without requiring that I wear them while driving. Toss 'em!
Ahh yes, rat milk… The name alone floods my brain with warm memories of Christmas’ past. Mum would make the best Rat-nog and there was always a big plate of mouse butter cookies and a big warm glass of rat milk set out for Santa. Little Timmy would always drink it straight from the teet. We’d catch him in the root cellar mouthing the new years rats well before they were ready! He always asked for another drink before heading out into the night. Tis the season to drink rat’s milk! Happy Holidays to Dr. Berg, Karen and crew!
Wow, this is exactly my case. I already wear glasses but when it is night or even very cloudy day, I noticed that when I walk around or look outside the window, I cannot read cars registration plate numbers ,because they get so blurry.
Poor kale always gets a bad rep when measured in cups by Eric. Why don't we use one measurement when comparing. I mean one cup of kale is super light, and hardly contains any kale unless you compress it, so maybe 454 cups of kale is not that much different than 40 pounds of whatever else...but i guess the point was it's hard to get enough of A in you, unless you eat livers like X File...

Eat all you want but without a healthy liver, you’re not going to absorb most of what you eat. Bile salts and TUDCA made a massive difference and actually reduced hunger so now I eat less but feel great. Take those 40-50 minutes before eating
@@LauraRodriguez-gc3vx fatty liver is often also caused by eating too many carbs - starches, sugars, fructose. Just something else to consider along with supplementing bile salts, tudca.
@@w1975b yes! Sugars of any kind will start the insulin response and trigger fat storage. Ketogenic diet & Intermittent fasting on a daily basis is the most effective way to make the body tap into stored energy. I burned up 30 lbs in 6 months, but that is minor compared to all the health benefits I’ve had
higher doses of vitamin D could cause vitamin A deficiency (unless supplementing with vit. A too), no? vit d uses a lot of vit. a and magnesium it seems.
As far as I'm aware we don't get raw milk in Australia. I live above a dairy and he's not allowed to sell me his fresh raw milk. All milk and milk products have to be pasteurised. The only milk that's allowed is non homogenised milk where the cream sits on top of the milk. So it's cod liver oil for me 🤢.
Ask him if you are allowed to buy your own milk cow and have him raise and milk it on his farm if you would be allowed to collect your own milk that you own that way.
Dry eyes. A diagnostic test is- When you blink your vision changes. This is a big issue with night issues. The peripheral cornea gets distorted- eyes dilate. I suspect that dry eyes is technology use and insulin resistance of the glands that provide the aqueous/lipid parts of the tear lake. Also, if you want functional takes of visual processing- don't ever see an Ophthalmologist- see a vision therapy or neuro rehab Optometrist. If you want surgery/systemic issues concerning the eyes see ophthalmologists
cooking meat destroys most nutrients and vitamins, Dr. Berg knows this but wont share because of how brainwashed city living humans would react. Been eating raw liver for years, nothing comes close.
Hello,I love your videos I don’t have big health issues but it’s good to change lifestyle to avoid health issues in later age and also ordered lots of vitamins.I wanted to ask make videos for small children that already have lots of health issues like diabetes and cancer and they can’t do keto and fasting
good recipe for calves' liver sear liver well. submerse in good spaghetti sauce. lower heat to simmer 45 minutes. other than the texture you can't tell it is liver. serve in bowl with the sauce. you children will eat it cooked this way and many unsuspecting adults.

Two I heavily supplement with vitamin D. I never drink alcohol, yet my liver could actually be better for my age.
Again, even some pharmacist will test your blood to see if you have deficiencies in an area.
I started taking cod liver oil because I watched one of your previous videos regarding it. I was having a really bad case of dry eyes. I kept artificial tears in my purse and had a few around the house like that's how bad it was even bought 3 warm mist humidifiers.
I've tried omega 3 fish oil in the past but would break out in a rash so I was truly hesitant on trying cod liver oil, and the artificial tears was losing its touch.... But after giving the cod liver oil a try my eyes feel so much better now. I haven't had to use any artificial tears. Thank you so much 💓
Wonderful! You're very welcome!
What brand of cod liver oil are you using? I found out that taking Evening Primrose oil has amazing effects on dr eyes and always especially it handy.
@@Bambina336 i take the Norwegian Wild caught Cod liver in the can. It has loads of A and D3 vitamins. I also save the oil from the can and then take a spoon daily. The brand is iCan.
Dr. Berg recommended this as well.
I’ve been having similar probs and am now taking cod liver oil. Already noticing an improvement.
@@Bambina336 I take Spring Valley cod liver oil capsules. It has both vitamin A and D3 in it which caught my attention. But thank you for mentioning primrose oil. I'll look into that 😊
100% agree with you about getting out and looking around especially if you are stuck inside the home or office. Since COVID and being stuck working at home the last +2.5 yrs, my eye sight got drastically worse. I force myself to get out and walk everyday and look far ahead as much as possible. It has helped but my vision hasn’t corrected, it has stopped it from getting worse. Thanks for the advice!
My so-called vitamin A deficiency signs turned about to be caused by low zinc status. The metabolism of vitamin A into retinaldehyde and retinoic acid, the active forms, requires zinc at each metabolic step. I needed Zinc picolinate before I was able to absorb and correct properly.
I’m deficient in zinc too have been taking 100-200 mg zinc picolinate daily. Toxic mold & tick diseases & plant based diet ruined my health. Now I eat 95% meat, eggs, animal fats and slowly improving. Been slowly adding in chicken liver - I mix it into ground beef. I know I should eat red meat liver but the taste is so strong!
It might have just been low zinc, alone. There's a growing school of thought that Vitamin A is more of a toxin than a Vitamin....
@@shantube75 Mind blowing but this new school of thought has a lot of merit. I wonder why so many people are low, or at least their symptoms correct by supplementing, zinc, magnesium, potassium, manganese, boron, selenium, chromium, iodine, molybdenum. Makes me wonder what is going on. Modern farming methods?
I think it's more the craze on supplementing staples with retinoids combined with a population that is taxing their liver and bile flux.
Bile is a primary route in the elimination of Retinoids and Carotenoids from that same school of thought!
Regardless, I am very conflicted at this moment
@@shantube75 And are you aware of the research associating moderate to high vitamin A status with weight gain, obesity, and diabetes? Vitamin A is a nutrient that is rising in dietary consumption and fortification. Vitamin A has a counterbalancing relationship with vitamin D. My vitamin D would not go up to a good level until I stopped vitamin A. Presumably zinc is being used up in it's role as a vitamin A detoxifier. Explains a lot. I followed Weston A Price Foundation dietary advice for many years. I used to joke that WAPF diet was the "gain weight diet". Mind blowing for sure.
This makes a lot of sense. When I was sick with mold illness, one of my first symptoms was trouble seeing in the dark. I've recently been diagnosed with lyme and am starting to have problems with night vision again. My low vit A has my doctor thinking I'm being affected by mold again.
You just described some symptoms I have been suffering with for years! All the symptoms of Sjogrens but standard tests say no. I had my galbladder removed in my 20's
Here in Shenzhen (I'm a US citizen residing here!), my eye doctor is originally from India but has been trained internationally, and also serves as a professor for ophthalmologists. His wisdom includes an amazing amount of preventative and nutritional knowledge regarding the eyes and their relationship to the body.
Even if an indian doctor isn't trained internationally but in India. He is going to be good and knowledgeable one.. Bcz in India doctors got more opportunities to practice and medicine in India follows strict and rigorous trainings and examinations.. Actually indian medicine school is one of the best around the world
@@Pfor_Podi well said , not only medicine education but the all education system is very strict and good in India .
@@swapnakumari1884 nah..private college engineering sucks
The worst eye doctors are in the US and that includes optometrist. I would take a foreigner before any US educated dr.
@@Pfor_PodiPropaganda from the ruling political party? Everything in India is substandard. As always, there are exceptions.
I wish you were my doctor because you’re giving me the answers to everything that’s wrong with me and the doctors haven’t!

God bless you Dr Berg. I literally been having dry eye a long time and just ordered Nytridyn Fish Liver Vitamin a yesterday before this video. You have awesome content and good timing and you are blessed with this information and giving it to the masses.
I started carnivore a few weeks ago due to sensitivity to vegetables, and the other night i peeled onto the road and I thought everyone had their high beams on! My vision is a lot more clear, eczema is going away, my quality of sleep has improved, less hair fall, mood stable, libido increased but still aiming for less bloating.
Is there anyone apart from dr Berg for the carnivore diet? I’m just trying to do it myself
@@susanwaldron2055Dr Ken Berry is entirely carnivore advocate.Dr Berg has mentioned that carnivore is your elimination point if nothing else is working but he is not deeply extensive in carnivore diet.
Carnivore diet FTW. You should do sun gazing in the morning, your eyes will become 'stronger' so that the bright car lights at night don't dazzle you...
Yeah carnivore diet 💪🏼 it has been improving my health slowly but surely. I do raw eggs most days too. Last 7 years I’ve been slowly eliminating plants from my diet bcs I realized I’ve been reacting to them. Then this year I found Nutrition with Judy channel and Dr Chaffee and now I don’t feel guilty for not eating my veggies or fruit lol. I’ve trimmed down and gained lean muscle. Looking good and slowly been feeling better (toxic mold & tick diseases + plant based diet destroyed my health)
@@susanwaldron2055 check out Nutrition with Judy channel. Lots of interviews - many are carnivores like Judy is. Dr Chaffee has a channel, Dr Shawn Baker, Dr Ovadia, and others are interviewed. Jordan Peterson and his daughter Michalia (sp?) went carnivore - she had juvenile arthritis like my daughter does and going carnivore put her into remission and got her off meds. She was interviewed on Joe Rogan show

Evening Primrose Oil pills helped me with dry eyes after I tried every single eye drops out there and nothing worked. However, my night vision is getting worse so this was a good reminder to take vitamin A too. Thank you Dr. Berg!
I’ll try this! I have dry eyes in my left eye bad bad.
@@living2day617 I don't think so. I never even heared of it before. All he told me is that everything looks fine but I'm farsighted in one eye and shortsighted in another so he suggested glasses. However, another eye doctor gave me glasses years ago for that same thing and I was having bad headaches every time I'd use them. I don't wanna spend couple hundred of $$$ on glasses and than have the same thing happen, but I'm also worried that by not wearing them, I might be doing more damage.
I know your comments a bit older. But he’s pointing out to get the vitamins from food source, people can overdo it by taking straight up vitamins. Cod liver oil is a great source for the vitamin a and D that you need in balance.
Great video. I suggest exercising your eyes as well. Staring at the screen all day and not getting out to look at the trees will cause the muscles around your eye to atrophy. Getting out to look at things far away as well as simple exercises for your eyes are a great idea. Of course, nutrition is always key!!
👍
Thanks, as always great information. I usually take Cod Liver Oil capsules daily. When I was a child, my Mother gave us spoonfuls of it - no Capsules then! I liked the taste of it.
Can't do Beef Liver. Just hate Liver!
I used to and still do occasionally excersise my eyes by focusing on something close and then far away for about 20 reps. Everyone in my family wears glasses but me.
As always,heartfelt thanks,Dr.Berg.You kept me going during the pandemic and help me to maintain my health now.
I am having a spoonful of cod liver oil every day. Since I started doing this, I rarely become sick. I am carefully though, since I could get vitamin A poisoning if taking too much of it. It's a known problem from cod liver oil and the recommended amount should not be overthrown.
what brand do you use ? it seems like too many of them out there
@@huynguyen7572 I am using a no name brand for veterinary use for racing horses. Then it is guaranteed to be really fresh and carefully prepared, since horses are very picky. The price is about $20 per Liter. I have had it tested a long time ago and it was confirmed to be identical to the much more expensive (3-5 x) human use product. One bottle lasts for about 4 months. As a safety check, I give a bit to my cats before trying a new brand. They have a way better understanding of quality than I have. Dogs may do the job too, but they are more tolerant to rancidity.
Ever since my teenage years i developed this sensitivity to artificial lighting and have trouble looking at screens. I also have issues seeing in the evening inside with all the lightbulbs and leds. Only daylight soothes my eyes. I also developed astigmatism but my eyesight is almost perfect.
Thank you Dr Berg. Your videos are invaluable and you are the best teacher . I've never received such information from any doctor so far and I suspect it's because they probably stopped educating themselves after med school. I've been having periodic blurred vision or poor vision since the last few months . I've seen two ophthalmologists . They found nothing wrong on examination and I was prescribed drops for dry eyes. However, that has not really helped with focus beyond the feeling of relief from dryness. I am 57, not diabetic, and my TSH is normal. The ophthalmologist and my GP were unable to explain why I am having less than desirable vision. A Vitamin-A deficiency seems to be a plausible reason . I'll explore that angle. Thanks a ton. You're a blessing
Congratulations 9M subs, Doc.
I had night blindness. The Dr. Didn't relate it to nutrition deficiency but I was already reading in the
1970s author
Adelle Davis.
Bought cod liver oil , took a teaspoon of that every day for a while and the night blindness went away.
I know that you can over do the oil based vitamin A .
I drink carrot juice often nowadays.
Whats the vitamin a daily intake for ius?
How high can one go safely?
I remember reading that vitamin A is fat soluble, not water. So you don't pee it out like excess B vitamins. It builds up in your fat stores. You can have too much. I would probably get my levels tested and go from there. I take Lutein for my eyes, it has helped dramatically with night blindness. Might do some cod liver oild every now and then now.
Dr Berg you saved my life when I was having heavy legs and deficult breathing then went my GP when I saw your video saying If you have air hunger take B1. I took it then fixed.
Now I have same problem with the thumbnail picture (lights get more volume). I also have heart palpitation, difficult breathing, dry eyes and hair loss. This video says more about that thanks. I ordered Lugol's solution to test if I have iodine deficiency. I also should get vitamin A.
I was made an appointment many times, each time they check my blood then send me home with no results.
Dr berg you are blessed one and real saviour in this world. I can't thank you enough. I am taking notes each of your video in RUclips or other social media. ❤❤
The picture you have for this video " caught my eye " .... it is what I use to see at night ..... I started to take your cod liver oil supplement , months ago and and when I drove at night and when it was raining , I could see so much better ! .... my eyes do not get as tired as they did before ... not sure it is the supplement but they are not as tired .
Yes if someone has a gallstones it means lack of biles w/c is needed for assimilation of Vits. A,D,E and K.
I cured my eye problem when I was 12 by doing eye exercises. I stopped needing glasses. No doctor told me to do this.
I would love to know what eye exercises you did to improve your vision
Same here! But did it in my 20s. Never needed glasses again 🎉
I tried looking in a distance for 3 weeks. It worked. One of my eyes improved as per ophthalmologist.
I 100% have had this and what I did was I'd practice focusing on a close object in the foreground then background and repeat, then after a few days, would practice focusing on a further object, then a further object. I never thought it could be because of a lack of vitamin a but everything lines up, I figured it was because I was looking at screens to much and the muscles in my eyes where weakening.
Just got glasses for the first time at age 34 the other day. I’m definitely trying this. Thank you!
Don’t know about USA , but in the UK you can’t get vitamin A as a direct supplement because somebody ( possibly European authorities as usual ) got it banned. You used to be able to buy it in capsule form , just like any other fat soluble, oil based supplements. I think they said they wanted to save the fish from which the supplement is extracted. Doesn’t seem to weigh up when there is still Omega 3 and cod liver oil supplement still available.
I bought some vitamin A capsules in the UK last month from Amazon. I couldn't find it in the supermarkets etc though.
Nice Dr Berg. Last night driving and seeing the Moon and Mars what a sight to see. Thanks!
I never thought medical information can be so interesting. He really explains it very well. Thank you sir
I read an article when my three children were very young about the children of Alaska having excellent eyesight until they started them in kindergarten at five years of age instead of six years of age. The children began to have to wear glasses. Obviously too much close up eye strain at too young of an age! The article recommended for children to take a lot of breaks during the day, go outside and try to find a squirrel in the tree or a bird in the distance and specifically practice using their long distance vision. I did this with my three children while I homeschooled them and none of them to this day wear glasses. They are all grown adults in their 30s. 😊
@@rebeccacrelley9677 Yes recess is good, but obviously is not enough as can be seen with the Alaskan children. Too much time at a desk having to sit still while being indoctrinated 🙄
Just yesterday I read a comment on one video of Dr. Berg, how we are having a serious health problem then after a day to a week we have all what we need in a video, how amazing is that! Thanks Dr.Berg
Thank you Dr Berg!! My wife was just suffering from this last night. God Bless!!
I'm 45 years old, i don't wear glasses, I'm healthy weight and go to the gym 3-5 times a week. I find that if i get less than 7 hours sleep, the next day i cant focus on close objects as good as when i sleep 8 hours plus, especially when looking at my phone or trying to read something. Its even worse if i drink alcohol the night before, and worse in low levels of light. I always thought its just my age, or im on my computer too much, but now im gonna try consuming more Vitamin A. Thanks again Dr B
You're amazing Dr Berg. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏
You're very welcome! Glad to help!
My ophthalmologist talked about grade school children are coming in with annual changes of 1 diopter or more. Doctors are now trying to come up with preemptive treatments, a few are close to approval. They know very well phones are damaging kids eyes.
I'm so grateful for your videoes and so is my mum now. 😄 You have such a wellrounded approach to health which I feel is lacking in many doctors (here in Scandinavia at least). Thank you! ❤️
I was having trouble with my eyes, especially my right eye. When I would blink I would notice strange persistence of vision spots that would appear for an instant. I was having trouble with car headlights and also street lights. Also my right eye was feeling some minor soreness. I went to the eye clinic and they gave my eyes a complete examination. They told me this was normal for someone in his mid 50's, and that I didn't have glaucoma, a detached retina, macular degeneration or any other problem. I went away sort of relieved but they offered me no solutions. Obviously I needed to solve my own problem. It didn't take me more than an hour to so searching online to realize that I needed some Vitamin A. I actually ran out and bought some beta carotene and started taking it. My problems began to resolve within a few days. No more soreness, no more blinking visual effects, and no more persistence of vision problems. The eye specialist never mentioned nutritional solutions to me. I will never go back there again. Since then I have successfully helped two other people who were experiencing eye trouble by telling them about vitamin A.
The same is my story .... I visited an eye surgeon & then an eye hospital they didn't recommend me any Vit A .... That is so strange
@@xs2raheel1did you follow through with a surgery?
Since I’m farsighted and need reading glasses, going outside for a nice long walk looking into the distance works wonders to relax my eyes . . . but for my extremely nearsighted adult children (24 & 22) they either wear contacts or glasses, so how can they get any relief especially from wearing these visual-aides all day long? Also Dr. Berg, can you please talk about floaters, why some people have them and how to get rid of them? Thanks a bunch for all you do! 🤓
Yes does looking in the distance focusing on objects is it still a good exercise if you have to wear hard contacts to see!
In my 50’s and I dislike driving at night. It seems like there are 50,000 different types of headlights now that try and blind me. When it rains at night and all the glare of lights on the road I can’t even tell half the time where the lines are.
Thank you for clarifying the bugs bunny carrot thing bc I sure couldn’t even eat 20lb of carrots. What’s up Doc?
Same but had this problem in my 30s 😮
I’ve had difficulty night driving since Cataract Surgery. I’ve purchased the night driving tinted glasses at Walmart. For $12.00, the halogen headlights aren’t as blinding!!! I’ve never used the flip switch on my rear view mirror so much!!
You should try sun-gazing in the morning to improve your eyes resistance to bright lights / car lights at night. It has other benefits too!! It's free and easy to do, takes 5 mins.
@Bread Sandwich I think LEDs are the problem.
@@OliHandy2008 I was told not to look straight at the sun when sun gazing, can harm your eyes.
Unrelated to the video but I've done some reading on autophagy and was shocked to read that it can aggravate certain cancers and encourage them rather than protect against them. Would be interesting to see a video on this supposed double edged sword.
There's risks and benefits to just about everything. It's gray not black and white.
YIKES -
I have memories of having very good night vision as a little girl. Then something changed. I was the only one in the family ( 8 in my immediate family , and
Same here
Would the gel capsules work as good as the liquid? Great video Dr. Berg
Aside from having bright blue eyes (from being born with PKU and re-diagnosed to Mild Benign HPU) apparently, I don't need to worry about this simply because my night vision is WAY too good. If even a single light is on somewhere in the house, it's enough for me to be able to see without problem. Makes it nearly impossible for me to get good sleep without the house being black-out dark.
WHAT’s PKU and HPU
Doctor Berg you are amazing.Every day I am watching your videos.Thank you so much for more information.
I ate a lot of carrots and veggies in high school .my eyes where great . Also use to work natural light . Well that all went away .
Had a nutrition book and they doct send vitamin a and potassium . I take about 10.000 units of vitamin a 2 to 10 times a day .
My eyes are improving 100 percent .
I take biles salts .and lutein and you need the right zink .
Thank you Dr Berg . I take biles salts , and potassium , and zink glicine because of you ..
Congratulations on the 9 Million subscribers! You deserve it 👏
Thank you for your support!
I really like when you talk of precursor bioavailability. Could you also make a habit of mentioning half life and stacking/reserve? Like if you are carrots every day without fail surely you wouldn't need 20lbs every day for the effects to remain present? And based on pill intake, how long do stuff remain in your body for instance i know with magnesium of you take more than your body can absorb you pee/poop the extra. And when it comes to 5htp there is a maximum speed of conversation into serotonin so there's no point taking more than needed either. Would love these details in your videos about all nutrients and minerals :3
I had a lot of trouble for years driving at night. Been low carb 13 years now. Eat lots of butter and eggs.
But doing way better now. Better than both of my children. One is vegan and has the most problems. The other has a medical condition were she must limit vitamin A.
So if they visit, the old lady does the night driving at night.
Many people can not convert beta carotene to retinal A.
I have wondered how common the lack of ability to convert is in people.
i was low-carb for 13 years and still had night blindness.
I also think lots of egg yolks are good for good vision, plus low carb. I have at least six yolks a day.
Hello Dr. Berg, it is me again in these beautiful comment section: i am a comercial driver and yes, I noticed I have trouble at night with the street lanes or fixed objects on the road (to distinguish) i will start eating beef liver. I have tried it before and it tastes really good! 🐀 rat as in Mouse/MICE milk? I am still baffled !!!
I love this man, it's almost as if he is a mind reader because all his content is what I need!!
I immediately got excited, but had to stop SHORT. I have type two diabetes PLUS NA Cirrhosis of my liver. And a huge no-no is taking any Vitamin A. HOWEVER, I do have an appt. on 11-6-2023, and this is the first item on my bucket list to discuss with my doctor.
And what did your doctor say?
@@di4085 Thank you for asking. Labs were done on Vitamin A. I was normal. This started a huge war between me and my Hepatologist because of what Vitamin A can do to harm the liver. I had started going to a new P.C., since mine retired. I told her that I wanted to “ try taking a small amount of Vitamin A, and that if she agreed, we could do Vitamin A Labs every 4 months, to see what the affects will be and whether I am to stay on the amount, lower it, or stop “. So, this is how we left it. The night of 11-6-2023, I started taking Vitamin A daily. After that one day in Opthalmology where my eyes responded soooooo positively, I have not had any further response. However, my gums appear to be responding and also my nails are getting stronger. So, I am encouraged……the doctors are waiting to pounce…….and I am butt-headedly still taking it every night. For ME……the goal is getting my eyes in better shape. For the doctors, THEIR goal is to have a moment of pure glee as they prove me wrong. Et voil’a…….
Im a bit cofused, how about the Beef Liver? Eat it raw? That is realy chlenge. I love thesese realy well packed and maximaly compeherensible videos! Thanks for them!
I’ve had night blindness most of my life until giving up oxalates. I didn’t realise that oxalates could cause it. It was a huge shock when I could see at night so clearly.
Oxalates such as what?
@@di4085 Sally k Norton’s website has a list of foods, and she explains things well. I thought I was eating healthy for years with greens, nuts, buckwheat, almond flour, fruit etc etc and many are high in oxalates.
@@di4085Certain foods like kale, spinach and other green leafy veggies, some nuts & grains. They can also cause kidney stones

Hi Dr. Berg! Thank for the infos you’re sharing with us!
I have a query, can I take omega 3 and cod liver oil together ?
Hey Dr Berg, thanks for your educative presentations. One question please, has Nyctalopia any relationship or commonalities with Photophobia (or light sensitivity)?
I wish I had a source for raw dairy. I can make my own butter, cheese (paneer/farmers/ricotta) yogurt etc.
I brought this glasses, its plastic and instead of glasses it has black plastic with heaps of holes. So you have to focus really well and then ypu you can see a bird 30 plus meters in the tree. Its absolutely funtastic. Dr. Berg make heaps of holes in a paper and look through.. . I try to train my eyes now. Its the 3rd year were my eyes have not changed .
They're called pinhole glasses.
Oh my. The only thing I would probably be able to consume is cod liver oil. Still listening 👂🏽 as I am not sure that would be enough 😢
I've studied health issues since 2010 and find it amusing that when some doctors have no answer they fall back on using genetics or hereditary to bail them out. I know now that it isn't their fault because they're not taught this in their medical education. It is too bad that they all do not continue educating themselves as Dr. Berg has done.
In 2005 I stopped wearing my eyeglasses and 13 years later I passed my driver's license eye exam without requiring that I wear them while driving. Toss 'em!
How ? How?
Ahh yes, rat milk…
The name alone floods my brain with warm memories of Christmas’ past. Mum would make the best Rat-nog and there was always a big plate of mouse butter cookies and a big warm glass of rat milk set out for Santa. Little Timmy would always drink it straight from the teet. We’d catch him in the root cellar mouthing the new years rats well before they were ready! He always asked for another drink before heading out into the night.
Tis the season to drink rat’s milk!
Happy Holidays to Dr. Berg, Karen and crew!

Poor kale always gets a bad rep when measured in cups by Eric. Why don't we use one measurement when comparing. I mean one cup of kale is super light, and hardly contains any kale unless you compress it, so maybe 454 cups of kale is not that much different than 40 pounds of whatever else...but i guess the point was it's hard to get enough of A in you, unless you eat livers like X File...

higher doses of vitamin D could cause vitamin A deficiency (unless supplementing with vit. A too), no? vit d uses a lot of vit. a and magnesium it seems.

Thank you very much. Appreciate your kind comment.
As far as I'm aware we don't get raw milk in Australia. I live above a dairy and he's not allowed to sell me his fresh raw milk. All milk and milk products have to be pasteurised. The only milk that's allowed is non homogenised milk where the cream sits on top of the milk. So it's cod liver oil for me 🤢.
Ask him if you are allowed to buy your own milk cow and have him raise and milk it on his farm if you would be allowed to collect your own milk that you own that way.
Dry eyes. A diagnostic test is- When you blink your vision changes. This is a big issue with night issues. The peripheral cornea gets distorted- eyes dilate. I suspect that dry eyes is technology use and insulin resistance of the glands that provide the aqueous/lipid parts of the tear lake. Also, if you want functional takes of visual processing- don't ever see an Ophthalmologist- see a vision therapy or neuro rehab Optometrist. If you want surgery/systemic issues concerning the eyes see ophthalmologists
I wonder how pasteurization can affect retinol but cooking the liver doesn't?
I was thinking same. Raw liver? Nope!
cooking meat destroys most nutrients and vitamins, Dr. Berg knows this but wont share because of how brainwashed city living humans would react. Been eating raw liver for years, nothing comes close.
Hi doc! Pls do a video on collagen supplements

good recipe for calves' liver sear liver well. submerse in good spaghetti sauce. lower heat to simmer 45 minutes. other than the texture you can't tell it is liver. serve in bowl with the sauce. you children will eat it cooked this way and many unsuspecting adults.
