2. Burning
3. Hypersensitive
4. Complete loss of sensation
Why numbness occurs:
1. MS (you need high doses of vitamin D, and you need to do intermittent fasting)
2. Diabetes (take benfotiamine, get on healthy keto, do intermittent fasting)
3. Pinched nerve
4. Virus
5. Carpal tunnel syndrome (take vitamin B6)
6. Decreased blood flow
7. Low B12
8. Decreased calcium
Symptoms of hypocalcemia (decreased calcium in the blood):

You provide So much value, videos on every topic, ROOT CAUSE SOLUTIONS!!!!! we are blessed.
I have had numbness in legs and thanks to you I found out that I have a B12 deficiency. I am overweight and consume a very high carb diet. I am going on low keto and ordering your supplement for nerves. Thank you so much for these videos!
Sometimes you just gotta look around and appreciate what you have.
You are the only doctors who can explain the causes and the symptoms and the remedy. Thank you so much
🙏♥️
I take Benfotiamine and I went to the chiropractor who found I had a pinched nerve. 14 weeks later, It has improved 90%
it would be great if you give us an update, I hope you are doing ok.
What was your symptoms ?
Dr Berg is absolutely amazing!!
Thank you so much for teaching us and all this valuable videos!! I'm truly grateful for everything I learn from you!! Thank you so much once again Dr Berg!!
Tingling can also be caused by panic attacks, it's one of the most common symptoms.
Trust me he probably already has a video on it....
Likely from hyperventilating
@@messiahblack4816 why you say that
And anxiety.
Completely agree having personally experienced that
Dear Dr. Berg, your advice you provide us is extremely important. You are a great professional! God bless you!
Wow!!! This is some detailed info..thanks a million my favorite dr Eric.berg.!!♥️
Would you mind doing a video on just MS? Thanks for sharing with us🤗🤗
He has one. It is linked in the description box
Dr.Berg videos is highly recomended to watch!
We appreciate that and thanks for watching!
Dr. Berg your videos are scarily timely. I was just thinking about a tingling numbness in one of my feet that just started a day or so ago. I open up UA-cam and here's a video to help.
I am immensely thankful for all the health tips and videos you provide. Again, I Thank you.
angelique little - could also be a side effect of all these vitamins, minerals and drugs he recommends if you take any of them. Who knows if all these things he sells are really even necessary. I feel like when you fix some something with these “deficiencies” we have, we break something else
@@Soundwave-F7Z Thank you. I agree with on that. I must admit though I haven't yet started taking the vitamins and drugs he recommends, But I have as of late been indulging in the wrong foods that can aggravate some conditions in the body ( namely inflammation in different areas of the body). I am seeing more of a connection between the foods I've indulged in and the effect on my body.
I'm about to do an herbal cleanse and eat only raw or steamed veggies. Also eliminate all the foods that are known to be inflammation causing. I can't wait to see how my body responds. 😀
@rocknblues81 - and tbh, i don't want to sit here and act like I'm a scientist and I know what I'm talking about....but at the end of the day, we don't really exactly know what's happening to our bodies when we put all these substances inside of it. And I'm also not saying Berg is wrong at all - he has great, informative videos and I watch all of them.
Six years ago I had to have ulnar nerve repositioning surgery on my arm/elbow (**Ulnar Nerve Entrapment - 4th degree, I had to have my bones in my elbow smoothed out to prevent further tearing**) due to pressure of me resting my arms on the table while using a computer (for DECADES). I wound up shredding the nerve sheath and it caused damage and pressure on the nerve, essentially making everything from my elbow to my fingertips to be numb/asleep. The last straw for me was when I sliced my pinky finger while cooking, bled everywhere, and never realized it was MY finger bleeding. I had lost 85% of the feeling and movement in my hand and fingers. Six years later, I have movement back in my hand, but my fine motor skills are still low and my ability to hold things (or detect that I am holding things...) is very low. Nerve damage cannot be repaired, only protected. I now have a 6" scar on the inside of my elbow that reminds me every day that I really need to protect my body from damage ;(
Ive been waiting for this vid. You're amazing! Thank you!
he didn't mention the hammer effect ...if you miss the nail and hit your finger ...
Thank you for the information Dr Éric Berg! You are the best Doctor 👍
We need a video on this topic after taking the corona vaccine. please
Brilliant. Thank you muchly for sharing this very important information with us all, & take good care off yourself to. ❤🙂🐶
Don't forget bicep tendinitis causes numbness and pain in the fingertips and hand.
Thank you, Dr Berg.
I've been tested for everything. B12 was 1260 very high and hpylori and ulcer. Treated and worse. My whole face is numb. Arms legs back and burning. I'm so over it.
I’m going through this as well. Did u ever find out what was wrong with?
Number 7 - Low B12 - cause could be a vegan diet!
@Op Hs I'm familiar with all that you just said. However healthy individuals eating good levels of animal products are far less likely to be low/deficient in B12 than Vegans. The vegan diet (without supplementation) is virtually devoid of B12, the only viable source of this nutrient being certain seaweeds e.g. nori.
Thanks doc Berg. Your a blessing to human beings
And what about magnesium?
Excellent advice and information ☝🏻
What about numbness caused by nerve damage from surgery? Is it possible to fix that?
I'm surprised people gave thumbs down to this video with very good info
I recently subbed to your channel, I just love your videos. Thank you so much.💜
How can we know where this coming from?
Great stuff always, thank you doc 🙏🙏
Great video Dr Berg! 👍 Would you also consider doing a video on spinal stenosis (cervical & lumbar)?
My favorite Doctor.❤️
May God bless you🙏
artificial sweeteners like aspartame and stevia can also cause numbness! Thank you!
Please do a video on histamine intolerance
*Dear Dr. Berg, I am a big fan of yours and I always tell people that you’re one of the best phenomenons that ever happened to UA-cam. Could do a video explaining why certain people have one of these symptoms - the burning sensation of the hand - only at night on the side you sleep on and even when you sleep flat on back? We would immensely appreciate it! 🎗🥇🏵🏆🏅*
Number 4 wich virus, we need more information about that Dr Berg
It is in the description box below this video.
I really value your videos, Dr. Berg!
Thanks for the education
Doctor am 28 years old and am feeling the same thing but I think it's one of the 8 things caused it

@@ticobailey8747 why is that
9: Raynaud's!
Kube Dog he talked about it once in a live Q&A show, said it was tough to tackle as it's an autonomic nervous system problem
Wish they more doctor like him.

Some blood pressure meds cause all the feelings of paresthesia on my scalp! Had to slowly discontinue them. Now doing IF KETO OMAD. Thank you Dr. Wonderful :}
Hello doctor i just discovered you and i want to ask our ancestors used to eat lot of whole grains and potato and lot of whole bread and they weren't sick or unhealthy and you on your keto diet you say to eliminate grains why ??
Can you please do some more videos on neuropathy (3 - 4 degree )? Especially how to reverse it / slow it down. Thank u :)
Dominika Mihoková yes I support this
search his vids before making requests - he has talked about neuropathy in several of his videos.

Uhh my arm was pretty numb when I broke it in half. Couldn’t move or feel anything in it...
Fantastic! Thank you for your kindness et time!
Thanks, Dr Berg!

Kube Dog lol yes
I would love to see a video on ehlers danlos syndrome 💜 and possible things to help naturally
0:47 if i was that person i'd be really concerned with the growth coming out the back of my head
i think thats hair
Dr Berg, what about dialysis? I never had a problem with numbness until I started dialysis. It started in my toes only. When I asked me GP about it she just looked at my feet and said :"Hmm? Neuropathy?" But offered no advice other than ask my nephrologist. My A1C was between 4.9 and 5.2 back then by the way. When I asked my nephrologist he acted like he didn't know what could cause it either and told me to see my GP for some Gaba. I didn't. I'm not in pain. I don't need pain killers.
In the meantime it's spread from the toes to the rest of my feet. I feel hot or cold, they look perfectly healthy. Some days I can't wiggle my toes after treatment it's so bad. They're not just numb but stiff. I've tried ALA bc it worked in German studies for diabetic neuropathy. It didn't help me. Benfotamine made no difference. I can't remember to eat nutritional yeast regularly. I do take my b vitamins in the form of my renal vitamin.
My calcium is 8.3 and I'm told that's ok. My pth is higher when my calcium is on the lower end. I'm sure my vitamin D is low even tho they give it to me thru IV. They don't test it so I don't know why they reduced my dose from a 5 to a 1. Now back up to 4...finally after I've complained I can't get my calcium up to at least a 9 or 10 no matter what I do. Do you have a supplement to help with numbness btw ? I'm taking your sea kelp. You mentioned it had 10x the calcium. I feel good on it but it didn't help with calcium either. Not that you claimed it would. I know it's not a calcium supplement. I still thought it might help some.
I'm on 60mg of sensipar and I just looked at the manufacturers website because I've asked the dietician that prescribed it before why they would give me a medication that reduces calcium when I'm struggling to keep my calcium up. She assured me several times that it works by removing calcium from my blood and pushing it into my bones. The website warns not to take it with low calcium levels and one of the side effects would be numbness if you do. Instead they upped me from 30 to 60 mg of sensipar when my pth is up. It's up bc my body gets calcium from my bones.
They never test patients vitamin D levels. Mine were low when I had them tested. I was upped to 5 units and taken back down to 1. Now upped back to 2. Vitamin D can lower pth.
I think I'm beeing bamboozled because somebody is getting kickbacks. My chair neubors pth was high and dietician upped his sensipar rather than vitamin D as well. Both of us telling her sensipar isn't working in reducing pth.
My sister-in-law has severe itching of the palms of her hands and she has a mild shake to it, too. So I told her to take that beer can out of her right hand, and the cig out of her left and see if that helps...

Excellent production!
Glad you liked the content!
Dr. Berg, Hansen’s disease should be part of the differential diagnosis. I just attended the Annual Hansen’s Disease program and paresthesia can the first symptom and is usually attributed to anything but HD.
You think of everything ‼️ Thank you so much 💕🙏
Glad to be of help!
Wow! Wonderful explanation.
Can Keto diet and IF be helpful for neurodermatitis?
It's great and useful informations,thank you so much Dr Berg.🙏🙏💐
So glad you found the video helpful!
@@Drberg How do you tell the difference between possible MS and Diabetic causes? My family member is experiencing pins/needles like the feeling the limb has been asleep and is waking up, in mainly 1 leg and some days sporadic areas hand, face feet.
Glucose levels have been up in 120s the last few weeks and he can't figure out why, even when fasting. Can that level cause it?
Hi Dr Berg- hoping you could add Gullian Barre to this list. Thanks
#9 Syringomyelia. We need more awarenesses on this disorder and Chiari malformation. Chiari and Syringomyelia is often misdiagnosed but can be identified on an MRI. The pain and paresthesia can be debilitating. September is Chiari and syringo myelia awareness month
drinking strong green tea or coffee, increases pressure in eyes and causes numbness in hands and arms,
Alfie zen whoa, never heard this,any links or case studies u kno?
Drinking alcohol or having too much caffeine too quickly makes my face, hands and feet slightly numb. I've also had medication before that made my arms slightly numb.
The same sympton with coffee, how did you Fix It?
@@alonsolopez159 By reducing my caffeine intake. I only drink decaf tea or green tea. I only drink alcohol on special occasions.
@@char392 ok, I thought the numbness sympthon was for a stroke or heart attack,
@@alonsolopez159 According to Google caffeine can cause arteries to shrink which can lead to numbness/tingling. I'd say try reducing your caffeine intake and if you still get symptoms go talk to a Doctor.
He forgot one. Magnesium deficiency, induced by medications or from not eating enough vegetables. Lisinopril did this to me. I take a quarter tsp of Epsom salt on the tongue and drink it down with water. Numbness and restless leg dissapears in minutes. I eliminated all meds and now I take Epsom rarely.
Do you know of other deficiencies Lisinopril can cause?
Get a tablet making machine and gelatin capsules on ebay. Less bitter
@@thirtythree160 There could be other mineral deficiencies that it causes as it influences the diuretic hormone produced by the kidneys. I only figured out magnesium. I was diagnosed with diabetes. They asked repeatedly if I had numbness in my feet. I said no repeatedly. They put me on several meds and I came back in a week with numbness and tingling on my feet. Years later it got worse. I started eliminating meds until I was on only lisinopril. The numbness was getting worse. I searched for ways to fix it and found Epsom salts. It worked.
Then I looked up what causes mag deficiency. Diuretics. I eliminated lisinopril and the numbness was almost gone. You have to exercise, eat less starches, less salt and drink a ton of water to go off BP meds and some people may not be able to if their BP is too high.
@@Kube_Dog Yes, directions on the bag for laxitive if you take way more. Of course you have to buy the cheap plain epsom salt, not the scented kind.
Great tip. Thanks.
Question: If you eat more fat than your body needs, that extra fat is stored as bodyfat? I mean while being on keto.
How can you store fat? You can only store carbs as bodyfat right??
I know you can actually gain weight and still be doing the keto diet. I've watched videos from Dr Berg & Dr Berry that say you can eat too much fat but your body should let you know it's had enough.
Get the free Carb Manager app & try tracking macros of carbs, proteins, & fats as best as you can. It's a very substantial app with ever growing database of products plus you can make your own recipes for tracking what you create. Make sure you set up your profile for kero diet with your age, weight, height, weight loss desire & such so it can help you with appropriate macros. It has worked very well for me & hubby (he's not full keto but I am).
Also do a video search for "Too much fat on keto" and watch respected Dr's & coaches. Stay away from Get Lean After 40, all they want is money & I got sucked in. He starts off good, but soon starts feeding you info about keto being bad & you should carb up every other day & on treat meal weekends like eating white rice.... yeah... NO!
Raynauds Disease. Would this video apply to Raynaud’s Disease too?
I experience this numbness most at times but when I do intense workout, it goes away.
I have numbness on my left side of the body and when i massage it a little bit, it goes away.
How are you now? Is this still troubling you?
Dear Dr.Berg
how do i know where exactly the numbness are coming.
Is there a test for that.
Thank you in advance
Dr. Berg, is there any chance you could talk about which of the omega fatty acids would be preferred in topical skincare based on skin condition vs. which would be better for oral consumption? I've done extensive research on this and the answer remains unclear.
What's the root cause of the body 'attacking itself'? The body would never decide it has to do that without a pretty good reason. So what's that reason?
Kelly J
I have chrohn's which is a autoimmune disease and is just told that your body attacks itself. I believe it may be bacteria or viruses thar are deep imbedded and seems like the body is attacking the walls of the intestine. These are just some of my thoughts on it and may change them as I learn more and understand myself better.
He said autoimmune disease... so the reality of all our illnesses is malnutrition... we are not getting nutrients from poor eating habits which after a while leads to chronic disease
People who have root canals have dead rotting tissues trapped in their skulls. Causes a lot of issues, and the root canal is overlooked as the source.
@@saltyprepper5513 You're right about that but I have MS and have never had a root canal ever. So my root cause has to be something else. I think it is EBV plus the removal of my tonsils at 4 yrs old plus a lot of built up toxins and perhaps a pathogenic infection be it viral, bacterial, fungal or parasitic, or more than one of the above. Lonnie Herman on UA-cam, check him out. I think he has the answers.
I have a numb spot on my left leg, left side, right above the knee. I had it once when i got AF but it went away. When i eat bad it comes back a bit. Like for exemple the last couple months i ate gluten, some junk food, sugar and i crashed. I had adrenal fatigue back and the spot is "awake"- tingling, burning. Anyone have a clue what it is. Im scared to think its ms.
Thanks so much Dr.berg
Welcome! It's my pleasure.
Wow you didnt mention anxiety
I am having loss of sensation in my entire body. No other symptoms other then the fact that I can barely taste things unless its really sour or spicy. Ill also add that i have to hurt myself really bad inorder to feel it. Would appreciate ideas on what this could be.

How bout pork or cabbage or cruciferous vegetables do u get numbness from those also? Thanks
Mold and lyme will do this too...also high inflammation from toxicity as well.... When you are sick you end up having high levels of candida and i agree that low HCL is part of this because of the mold and lyme.....and lots coffee hurts HCL too.

Hi Doc ! My brother when he was young he had white glowing skin. After a vaccination he developed eczema and autism. The eczema caused his skin to become dull. What can we do to get back his skin to the way it used to be. We tried to fix his autism but haven't been successful till now. I feel if we can fix the skin maybe that will help with his autism as well.
