Your electrolytes drink has changed my life for the better!! I've been low in potassium for months, suffered terrible for 15 months, horrible heart palps, Because the Doctors are useless, nobody picked up on this. Kept chalking it off as anxiety. I'm so very thankful for you Dr Berg
I have battled Afib for 13 years and not one doctor mentioned checking to see what my potassium level was. I started watching your videos and it made me question why no doctor G.P. or Cardiologist had mentioned this. I also struggled with high blood pressure as well as constipation. I was told that I needed to drink a lot more water so I started drinking close to 100 ounces a day. It didn't help. I found a new doctor when I moved to Texas and I asked for a full blood test. Guess what the blood test revealed? Low potassium. I went on a high dosage potassium prescription and much to my surprise my Afib disappeared along with the high blood pressure and constipation. Turns out all of the water was flushing the potassium out of my system. Had it not been for your videos I would still have the issues that I had. I'm now eating as many high potassium foods as I can find along with taking a potassium supplement. Thank you Dr. Berg for changing my life for the better. Cheers!
Thank you for helping me when mainstream docs gave up. They gave up and told me I was dying. Ten years ago I was diagnosed with a type of Muscular Dystrophy that was causing my body to stop digesting food. A Naturopathic doctor got me back on the road to health, however, I could only afford a few visits. Dr Berg, you have earned your wings. Thank you so much for your kindness, energy, and factual, healthy info!
Could you please share what your naturopath doctor said to do ? What you did and how long it took and how you are now. Could you please share the naturopath doctors contact information. Thanks.
sorry for my english I have no words to describe how Dr Berg changed my life, he is passionate about what he does , he is smart and the most important thing he care about people , every single advice come from knowledge but more important, from his heart, thank you Dr berg I really aprecciate what you do, thank you.
This is why I absolutely love this Doctor he has never lied or withheld the truth. My Sister is completely off highblood pressure meds because of Potassium bicarbonate everyday twice a day. My God bless this Man forever. Thank you
+KETO Robert It's potassium bicarbonate not the cheap stuff you purchase it from Amazon.com it cost 8.00 bucks here's my email for more information ckbe.cm@gmail.com
FANTASTIC....that's correct...I did some research sometime ago and found that potassium bicarbonate is the best form of potassium to take...I get it from nuts.com...only 6.99 for a 1 pound bag...last you two months....I take a teaspoon in water every morning....I'm 59 years old and have perfect blood pressure..110/68....this stuff is great....it really does lower your blood pressure...
Most doctors are just pharmaceutical sales men. Like a mechanic that you go to for an oil change and then leave with all the other services and expenses and your car breaks down after 10 minutes...
@nai nai omgggg lmfao... Uhm...thank youuuu ❤ 🙌 I'll take that as a compliment 💋 as for your bottom reply ...I do have a tendency to miss points and even tho I can follow on a certain level having majored in biology and undersranding some basic biochemistry I will gladly admit I missed whatever point...as long as I didn't miss the super cougar comment ❤ (made my day) thank you!
I could watch your videos all day long and not get tired of learning. You have such a soothing voice. Love learning from all of your videos, they are packed with so much information. Thank you and please keep them coming!!!
This man actually cares about us! Can you see it? I can watch other videos but his are *the* most understandable, compassionate videos on health I've ever seen. May God continue to bless you Dr. Berg and your family because to offer us the *truth* at an affordable price. I found these somehow still not sure how (lol) but *so* glad I did. What rewards in heaven I believe await people who truly serve people in this way. Thank you Dr. Berg and Karen.
You always help. Thank you Dr Berg, there are so many elderly in nursing homes dying from electrolyte deficiencies. I don’t understand why it’s not mandatory for elderly to get electrolytes. The medications they are on are depleting some minerals, and I see residents cramping up in agony every day , so what does the in home doctor do, he puts them on Endone for pain, and drugs them to the point of not eating and not being able to drink. Hence they are dying at a fast pace. Plus the staff don’t understand how important it is to give fluids throughput the day every couple of hours. I saved my Uncle he is now on electrolytes and supplements but I had to fight for it for months. It’s so frustrating for me to see the system fail these wonderful elderly. And the staff say it is ageing, they really believe its natural ageing, and not neglect.
You said the truth ignorance is the worst illness, if people would understand more they will perform better on their job doctors, carers, even family /friends can help an elderly person( even if they do not have the holly glow🤪 of being a doctor...).We have Dr Berg to teach us💞 and we can learn at any age ^_^ to care for our health and also who is around us thank you Dr Berg!
The people who run nursing homes know that every time someone passes away, it makes way for someone new and with every new person entering a lot of money is made. They are not interested in extending peoples lives as it is not in their financial interests to do so. The doctors would also be in on the idea of speeding up their expiration date as they would be making a bonus. I new a lady who was put in a nursing home and apparently 10 years is the maximum time they give people to pass away. She lived longer and they did terrible things to speed up her death until her family realized and finally got her out of there. Your Uncle is very lucky to have you.
I’ve been following this chap for over a year and have lost over 18 pounds in weight (the fat is still coming off) I find his advice basic and too the point and very helpful.
I had high blood pressure in the ER and after blood work they found I had potassium deficiency. They gave me something to relax and potassium. My blood pressure dropped 40 points. I now realize it wasn’t the calming meds, it was the potassium! This has been so eye opening. I ordered your electrolyte mix.
I absolutely love this Docter. Dr. Eric Berg ,The lord shall increase you territory for the sake of the lives that you are saving through your informative videos.
The strange part is most of these things are supported by Magnesium. Started on a liquid magnesium and most of these things went away that I was dealing with very quickly.
Thank you so much for making these very helpful, informative videos. I'm learning a lot. Ended up in the E.R. with severe back pain, which to begin with I thought it was just back pain and did everything I knew to do only for the pain to increase in intensity and move to my abdomen. I have severe anxiety, depression and insomnia!! I was completely blown away when the doc came in and said I was low in potassium. If course I have to follow up with my G.I doc because I also have had digestive issues all my life. They did give me some potassium while I was there which helped a great deal. So I immediately came home and started a search for more info on the topic. Thanks, now I'm watching a lot more of your videos. I'm amazed I never would have guessed that potassium deficiency could cause so many symptoms.
It’s beyond sad to me that this information isn’t mainstream, after years of battling poor health and just miserable suffering I had to learn the hard way that I was severely deficient in potassium. Thanks for making this important video and I dream one day that natural therapies become the mainstream of medical treatment

Very easy, switch to a product called "No Salt Salt" It's made of potassium chloride not sodium chloride. You can find it at nearly any grocery store. Tastes just like regular table salt and you can use it for everything you use regular sodium chloride for.
@@kconrad5893 you can buy it in bulk much cheaper. Just put in "potassium chloride" in amazon it's like 17$ for a kilogram of pure potassium chloride. I personally make a diy Gatorade with it without the sugar
In 2023, I ended up in ICU because of septic infection. After few days they try to move me in regular room, but my blood pressure drop to dangerous levels and it wasn’t stabilizing without support. Later they find out that the reason that was happening was because I was depleted of potassium in my system. I was having all symptoms you describe for many years, none of the doctors diagnosed my symptoms correctly. In fact, one doctor literally told me that all that symptoms aren’t really real, that my symptoms are result of depression. I was diagnosed with depression at the time, and depression was trigger by all physical symptoms I was having not the other way around.
Wow that Dr is a jerk for saying your symptoms aren’t real. Also it’s amazing that happened in the future, 2023… just kidding I’m sure you meant 2013, just though that was funny lol
I'm so happy to have discovered your video presentations. As a retired Houston firefighter and paramedic I understand so much of what you're saying and I appreciate that you presented in such a way that anyone can follow the logic and science behind your explanations. Keep up the great work thank you!
Like I say, if people don't believe him, try it out. Follow it by the book and don't cheat and see what the result is. I stopped drinking cokes and as much bread and sweets (although I've never liked sweets alot)I started keto about two weeks ago to see what it'd do. In the last 6 months I've gone from weighing 328 lbs to 296lbs. I'm going to keep doing keto , although I still have some areas to clean up , and them I'm going to my my vitals tested again. I feel alot better. I have more energy , I don't get hungry as often, I don't have chest pain around the heart area and rarely any numbness. I can tell if I have carbs that are bad, like fried chicken breading , makes me feel like somebody hit me with a bat. I eat my veggies more. I have been eating a few tablespoons of almond butter before meals and it makes me less hungry and I stay satiated and I can go longer without eating , that way my body burns my fat. Try things out for yourself , don't take anyone's word as 100% truth. Always test things and see what works for you and what keeps you healthy
i started drinking Coconut water and it really helps with my Potassium level it also cured my acid reflux which didn't occur to me until i watched this video ..Acid reflux is actually an acid deficiency and a low amount the stomach doesn't seal the valve ...
@@hedyehroosta9903 Any brand is fine as long as it's just coconut water ..I use UFC at the moment because its on offer But Vital or Innocent is fine and tastes great
I know it’s not keto approved, but I’ve been getting most of my potassium from coconut water. It’s packed with it, and it’s delicious! It makes meeting my daily potassium requirement easy. Btw, I found out how much potassium I need every day from you, Dr. Berg, so thank you!
Would you tell me why it isn’t keto approved? I thought it just had the fat from the coconut, oh no… I love coconut water T_T (not bottled ones with added sugar, I mean the one directly from inside the coconut)
@@TheBee1470 coconut water directly from the coconut is pretty high in sugar. The bottled coconut water I buy is natural coconut water straight from the coconut.
Good valuable info Sir. We don't need 7-8 salads. Here is the list of other foods, high in potassium. Lima beans (1 cup - 955 mg) Pinto beans (1 cup - 2688 mg) Kidney beans (1 cup - 2587 mg) Soybeans (1 cup - 3342) Lentils (1 cup - 731) Cantaloupe (1 medium - 1474 mg) Two - three of these foods should take care of your Potassium requirements.
I'm really starting to understand the mechanics behind nutrients, but can you please explain the difference between potassium and magnesium? They do similar things, but are inherently different. Thank you! Love your channel. Exactly what I needed.
Thank you I lost potassium by sweating a lot when we lived in a warm climate without AC and I became dangerously low in potassium and magnesium both With heart arrhythmia and lethargy
Honestly, Dr Berg, you are the best teacher I've ever known. Just imagine...I took all the biology courses in college and I never really understood the sodium-potassium pump until now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge...wish I were privy to your videos ten years ago!
Yes. Potasium transports calcium and probably Magnesium to the cell and also help create Acidity of of the stomach as the Dr. Berg said in this video and calcium and Magnesium and due to help control the contract and expand the lungs. If your lack potasium your stomach will not be acidic enough and malabsorption of electrolytes will happen and thus your breathing will be distributed and you might face severe acidosis and hypocalcemia! The key is to get enough vegetables 7 cubs every day!
@@abukarabdirahman7846 i prefer coconut water. 2 cups of coconut water has your potassium levels covered for the day. it takes 20 seconds to drink a cup of coconut water.
I know this comment is old but hmmm, I wonder if I was low on potassium when I started having breathing problems. The doc just prescribed an inhaler and sent me on my way. While the inhaler did help, I often wondered if it was really asthma or something else. Darn shame we can't have a world full of Dr. Berg's!
My local hospital nephrologist said, my dad's CKD is not reversible. Dad would experience deteriorating kidney and eventually needs to go through hemodialysis. I remember she said avoid potassium. After about a year being a fan of this man (the man!), Jason Fung, Malcolm Kenderick, Ken Berry, Mason Paul, and Norman Norawi (Malaysia), and series of nephro appointments, everything changed. The same nephro declared that my dad has no need to comeback to her clinic. His creatinine reading is getting better every time. Someone need to redefine noble prize let this man on the stage for it. Thanks Dr Berg!
@@cosmichealth3907 No, but dad continues eating some fruits like banana & manggo (not much) - which mean, potassium not the most crucial part of the diet. Most importantnly is to avoid sugar, wheat and processed foods.
It’s 83% sodium chloride; Himalayan salt is usually 96% sodium chloride. The best part about Celtic Sea Salt is it has the vast majority or trace elements (close to 50 of them) in the proportion your body needs (we evolved from the ocean). For potassium, eat bananas, potatoes (all varieties) and veggies. For magnesium, use magnesium chloride oil topically or take Epsom Salt baths or swim in the ocean often.
@@wyattlavigne but the oceans are sooo polluted.I use REAL salt out of salt beds in UTAH , it is not bleached .But asparagus has a lot of potassium as does spinach.. ... time for my green smoothie
I noticed I was having strong sweet tooth and the day I increased my potassium I swear those craving just went away... My formula is green smoothies and coconut water
@EternalNature The nutrients you get from the animals come from the plants they eat. The nutrients in those plants came from the soil the grew in. Uh-drr-hrrrr...
Green/Red Salads and purple sweet potatoes are my go to sources for potassium. I have severe adrenal fatigue and liver problems and eating less meat and more carbs (salads and purple sweet potatoes) makes me feel allot better/calm. I try to go into Ketogenic a few days a week as well (more salads, less carb).
Calcium is contractile. Calcium does not relax the muscle. It is the agonist to magnesium. Magnesium is the relaxer. Not calcium. When calcium out strips Mg, cramps occur.
Looking back on my younger days when I drank a LOT of beer, I was definitely Potassium, Magnesium and B vit deficient. I had symptoms that I now know were because of this. No Doctor EVER told me about deficiencies, just gave me useless pills, and creams that did very little. I feel fitter now than I did 30 years ago because I supplement and eat healthier. ...................... and watch DR Berg videos.
I have been suffering serious fatigue for three years and I startet months ago to increase potassium, cod liver oil and vitamin D, magnesium and B. I got my strength back, I don't live in my bed anymore, I have been quitting sugar's because I don't have cravings anymore. I have gone down 50% on my medication for anxiety and depression because I just feel great. My RLS have disappeared so I sleep much better.
well, hell's bells, of course doctors who are Big Pharm bots wont tell you about potassium issues for things like high bp, cause then you can take care of yourself, and dont have to keep taking their meds.....dr berg, you are awesome....
That's a very American point of view. Look at Europe, the more you see a doctor there the less they earn off you actually. Still doesn't make them give people potassium.
@@nashj.3238 I was hospitalized in the Czech Republic with a hemmorhagic diet. One week of intensive care diet was not mentioned once. Drugs were, many times. When I got out I turned my life and health around through diet only, with the help of Drs. Berg, Fung, Berry, Bikman, et al. I have not been sick in two years at all and many conditions like fatty liver, sleep apnea, gas, and lifelong allergies are gone, along with my then sky high blood pressure. It might not be about profit to these doctors but their education was basically funded and shaped by the pharma industry. Drugs are what they know, period.
I have bombed myself with potassium and I lost 9lbs in three days. I have been eating 4 potatoes and 3 bananas (the MAX carbs and sugar) Intuitively, I concluded that It was water weight pushed out by potassium.
Thank you so much, you are a great educator. My father also was a doctor and when I was feeling tingling in my legs, he told me that I have potassium deficiency and when I started taking potassium, my problem went away.
I like your detailed explanation on potassium. It's simple, short, concise and easy to understand for people who have no medical background.Thank you Doc!
the e.r. docs and the g.p. never told me these things. quick to put me on meds. thanks for all you do for total strangers. much love from monterey calif.
I’m a massage therapist and recently, I couldn’t lift my arms to do another massage mid shift. This happened a few days ago and I have started drinking Pedialyte and eating more bananas. I’ve taken a few days off to recover. I hope it never happens again. I felt like a fighter that couldn’t go another round. My 10 hour a week racquetball habit probably didn’t help. Thanks for this video. Very insightful.
Thanks again Doc. I've been on keto for 7 months, it's become a part of my life . I had pre diabetes, it's gone 🙂. I have done very good losing weight, but have stalled. Time to put it in high gear.
@@marybeth6676 exactly. People constantly shove sugar on you. Cigarettes are still acceptable even tho its known how bad they are.... we don't know the full effect of sugar :(
Wow ! This video is 7 years old & i did not know about you Dr. Berg until lately but i learnt a lot from you . Your lectures put me on a Keto diet , I lost weight & i feel great . My diabetes is almost reversed & I'm drug free (no medications) Shokran Dr. Berg 💖
Wow! I been doing amazing on the keto diet for 14 months now. Had a bunch of stress come up and been feeliing pretty burnt out. I’m pretty sure it has to do with potasaium, never realized how important it was.
i originally didn't watch your video and then thought you were crazy. I saw your webinar for deficiency symptoms which included stools sticking to the toilet and vitamin a deficiency then I started paying attention. Doc pimps did damage to my liver after labeling me with metabolic syndrome so I am quite tense. Two presentations on the internet were/ are false and were making me ill. I have been using potassium so I didn't feel as endangered and desperate to be able to get up and stay up and have cognizance I increased my potassium based on your video in December 2016. I found a good change in my energy. I was on greens since simmer which increased my energy and helped with breathing. I believe I am getting more through the citrate then greens unfortunately I bought your gallblader formula as a result because of liver pain. I just tried your sciatica and back pain techniques. Thanks
He who takes medical advice from the internet, dies by the internet, and "no one hears you scream". There are good doctors, keep look for one who can look back.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. And, as a retired teacher, I commend you ⭐️ for your teaching skills! I enjoy watching and listening to them; as well as benefit from them. THANK YOU ☺️
I wonder why and what is the reason for 459 thumbs down?!? How much subjective can you be so you can't see the benefits of this channel? Anyway,as I've never said it (as we move with the next 'thing' in our life and always 'speed up '...) THANK YOU DR BERG, I LIKE AND APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR WORK AND DEDICATION !
I have learned so much from you over the years! I share your videos all the time! I like listening to you because you speak in simple English (not medical jargons) with a gentle voice that is so soothing! Thank you so much Dr Berg!!
You are always hitting on subjects we truly NEED to understand to improve our well-being. I’ve learned so much from your great tutorials. Thank you Dr. Berg...you are a genuine blessing. 🌱❤️🌿
Have been on keto and IF and I drink a lot of coffee and green tea (diuretics) while I'm fasting, and was noticing these high blood pressure and frequent urination and had a difficult time sleeping due to heart palpitations (heart beating fast), and saw your other video on potassium deficiency, and bingo! Answered my question. Now I'm eating leafy greens and avocado, and those symptoms are gone and can sleep well again. Thank you, Dr. Berg!!
I just got my test results and my blood was dangerously high in potassium levels. Since I couldn't eat 7 to 10 cups of greens as Dr. Berg recommends, I would supplement with two to four grams of potassium in the form of "NoSalt". The amount supplemented depended on how much potassium in my diet. It is my guess that my need for electrolytes decreased as I approached my ideal weight. During the first 3 weeks of Keto, the need for electrolytes may be higher. Be careful with supplementation. I was not too far away from being hospitalized for my condition. The good news is that I no longer need statins or high blood pressure medication and my diabetes is in remission after only 3 months and 40 lb. I have no plans of ever getting off of my keto diet but I will increase my caloric intake.
Dr Berg? If you are there? I started a high potassium diet 3 months ago and in just one day I was zapping around like I had taken a fast drug, and after 5 days my blood pressure went up to 180! The hospital put me on high blood pressure medication. I am addicted to this diet of high potassium. I am 55. Why did my blood pressure go up? I don't use salt. I do have heart disease had a heart attack 9 years ago. I am so glad I watched your video. They don't have potassium tablets over the counter here in Australia, so I grow my own beets now and shovel my vegies down every day. So addictive. And an added bonus was my piano playing is out of sight now. It must help muscle memory. My hands fly across the piano now. But now I have got a new problem. The tendons in my thumbs are painful. Never had this problem before. Hmmm what to do?
I love this man and I don't even know him. I added the potassium drink to my regime and my Blood Sugar is 98 and that's a big deal for me. Keto by itself just didn't get my numbers down. 1 scoop I sipped all day on it. I will do 1 scoop tonight I have dawn phenomenon and I wake up to high numbers let's see. Thank you Dr. Berg, hopefully I lose weight. I started keto about 2 weeks ago.
I am back Dr. Berg. I drank an extra bottle of potassium before bed and woke up and my morning Blood Sugar was 118 and not 190. I have/had Dawn Phenomenon and I am claiming my healing. I had my first cortisone shot 10/9/19 and it will be my last. I am terrified of needles and now I am sticking with keto and all you suggest. I actually fear the needle more than Type II Diabetes. I am on the right road now.
I use guacamole and cream of tartar with Himalayan salt to balance the flavor. I get about 2500 mg from just that snack. Do you agree or disagree with this snack on ketogesnic diet. Great video!
Dr. Berg The people’s Doctor... you are woven into the tapestry of my and many others landscape. You helped me learn keto 3 years ago, address my hypothyroid Autoimmune issues and recently I had vertigo ( too much sodium without magnesium potassium and electrolytes) and I figured by increasing my potassium (your supplement) that my balance returned 90% with 24 hours!!!! Maybe 🤔 potassium could help others with vertigo?! The ears are aliened to the kidney in Chinese medicine. Maybe then inner ear balance is essential for those prone to Vertigo??? Your thoughts or video would be great... you are a Nobel laureate in my books!!! Many many thanks and gratitude!!!!!
I have found that "green sheets" of sea weed pressed flat. Seen on Sushi . Each one is 98 mg in balance! Very cheap and very tasty. Skip the rice, make a roll.
This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing! I just recently discovered my low potassium levels were inhibiting strength. Thanks for solidifying this truth.
The body is a complex system, on top of that there are so many nutrients that assist the body to function properly. You break it down in such a comprehensive terms that everyone can understand, I learned so much from your video. Thank you Dr. Berg!
You have changed my life! I am finally stop craving carbs like crazy. I am eating spinach every day. I even tried Spring greens today , they are delicious. Now I have to convince my 10 yr old daughter to eat them with me! 10 cups of veggies a day.. here we come! ;)
I started making a large container of salad and eating a fairly large bowl at least 2x's a day, I no longer want sweets. I was wondering if that is what helped. I know people that have to buy candy every couple of days, one thinks she just has to have chocolate, says she doesn't crave it but I know better. I ask her wouldn't it be better to live without the sweets and getting sick than having the sweets and not having the energy to walk up the steps when she comes home from work. She just thinks she would rather eat what she wants. You can't win. If you teach your daughter while she's young, then later she may come back to it if she gets away from it as she gets older.
Spent 6 weeks in the hospital when I was in my thirties. The biggest reason for the extended stay was that my potassium would not level out and the Dr.s won't release you until it is normal. Took these giant potassium pills each day. Finally, had my partner bring in some tomatoes, spinach and a banana to me each day. After six weeks, within three days my levels were normal and I said bye bye to the hospital!
Your electrolytes drink has changed my life for the better!! I've been low in potassium for months, suffered terrible for 15 months, horrible heart palps, Because the Doctors are useless, nobody picked up on this. Kept chalking it off as anxiety. I'm so very thankful for you Dr Berg

FANTASTIC....that's correct...I did some research sometime ago and found that potassium bicarbonate is the best form of potassium to take...I get it from nuts.com...only 6.99 for a 1 pound bag...last you two months....I take a teaspoon in water every morning....I'm 59 years old and have perfect blood pressure..110/68....this stuff is great....it really does lower your blood pressure...

@@synewparadigm Yeah would have been a medical Doctor myself today.
Me too, Im over here taking notes watching these videos! I love it, I'm learning soo much
Amazing!!! I've never had a doctor teach me the why of everything as much as you. Thank you times one million.
Kristen Tallman doctors don’t spend more than three minutes with you, at all.
Most doctors are just pharmaceutical sales men. Like a mechanic that you go to for an oil change and then leave with all the other services and expenses and your car breaks down after 10 minutes...

I could watch your videos all day long and not get tired of learning. You have such a soothing voice. Love learning from all of your videos, they are packed with so much information. Thank you and please keep them coming!!!
Kettley Monell hey u
I agree
his voice helps me sleep when I have insomnia...I love it!
When I Listen to Dr. Berg I WANT to Eat More Healthy - he Takes the Temptations Away!
You're georgous!!!
I've never heard electrolyte described that way, that was amazing
This man actually cares about us! Can you see it? I can watch other videos but his are *the* most understandable, compassionate videos on health I've ever seen. May God continue to bless you Dr. Berg and your family because to offer us the *truth* at an affordable price. I found these somehow still not sure how (lol) but *so* glad I did. What rewards in heaven I believe await people who truly serve people in this way. Thank you Dr. Berg and Karen.
You always help.
Thank you Dr Berg, there are so many elderly in nursing homes dying from electrolyte deficiencies. I don’t understand why it’s not mandatory for elderly to get electrolytes. The medications they are on are depleting some minerals, and I see residents cramping up in agony every day , so what does the in home doctor do, he puts them on Endone for pain, and drugs them to the point of not eating and not being able to drink. Hence they are dying at a fast pace.
Plus the staff don’t understand how important it is to give fluids throughput the day every couple of hours.
I saved my Uncle he is now on electrolytes and supplements but I had to fight for it for months. It’s so frustrating for me to see the system fail these wonderful elderly.
And the staff say it is ageing, they really believe its natural ageing, and not neglect.
Fire*Minx my grandma almost died from potassium deficiency. My uncle neglected her proper care
I also wonder where Epsom salt for constipation went..Out seniors would get some magnesium and go to the loo
You said the truth ignorance is the worst illness, if people would understand more they will perform better on their job doctors, carers, even family /friends can help an elderly person( even if they do not have the holly glow🤪 of being a doctor...).We have Dr Berg to teach us💞 and we can learn at any age ^_^ to care for our health and also who is around us thank you Dr Berg!
The people who run nursing homes know that every time someone passes away, it makes way for someone new and with every new person entering a lot of money is made. They are not interested in extending peoples lives as it is not in their financial interests to do so. The doctors would also be in on the idea of speeding up their expiration date as they would be making a bonus. I new a lady who was put in a nursing home and apparently 10 years is the maximum time they give people to pass away. She lived longer and they did terrible things to speed up her death until her family realized and finally got her out of there. Your Uncle is very lucky to have you.
@@aussie4662 WELL SAID!
Honestly no one ever told my dad or myself about potassium. You're one in a million .
I’ve been following this chap for over a year and have lost over 18 pounds in weight (the fat is still coming off)
I find his advice basic and too the point and very helpful.
100% coconut water has a lot of potassium.....be careful of coconut water that has other stuff in it. Avocado is another good source of potassium
Bulk supplements potassium best way
i'm with you on coconut water. drink 2 cups of coconut water a day and you will have all your potassium covered.
Many fruits and vegetables have potassium!!
1 cup coconut water = 600 mg of potassium, you'd need 8-10 cups a day according to Dr. Berg
Cooked spinach is high
I had high blood pressure in the ER and after blood work they found I had potassium deficiency. They gave me something to relax and potassium. My blood pressure dropped 40 points. I now realize it wasn’t the calming meds, it was the potassium! This has been so eye opening. I ordered your electrolyte mix.
I absolutely love this Docter. Dr. Eric Berg ,The lord shall increase you territory for the sake of the lives that you are saving through your informative videos.
He is a blessing
My Doctor for 12 years. He keeps me alive!! Thanks, Doc!!!
He talked me into taking more vitamin D3
all darkskinned people need MORE with K2
Who else is Watching all your videos in 2020! Honestly you give the best advice in the simplest form! I can see results 10 days in!!
The strange part is most of these things are supported by Magnesium. Started on a liquid magnesium and most of these things went away that I was dealing with very quickly.
@ravvraj It is not an overnight cure, and it did not happen overnight. Be patient.
Thank you so much for making these very helpful, informative videos. I'm learning a lot. Ended up in the E.R. with severe back pain, which to begin with I thought it was just back pain and did everything I knew to do only for the pain to increase in intensity and move to my abdomen. I have severe anxiety, depression and insomnia!! I was completely blown away when the doc came in and said I was low in potassium. If course I have to follow up with my G.I doc because I also have had digestive issues all my life. They did give me some potassium while I was there which helped a great deal. So I immediately came home and started a search for more info on the topic. Thanks, now I'm watching a lot more of your videos. I'm amazed I never would have guessed that potassium deficiency could cause so many symptoms.
It’s beyond sad to me that this information isn’t mainstream, after years of battling poor health and just miserable suffering I had to learn the hard way that I was severely deficient in potassium. Thanks for making this important video and I dream one day that natural therapies become the mainstream of medical treatment
Doctors are taught to administer prescriptions NOT health. No $$$ in healthy people!!!

You call yourself "Sweet" but you are not really sweet and disrespect other believes so i'm doubting about the other half "scientist" ...
There are a lot of scientists believe in something that in control of this whole existence some people call it god others call it nature ...
isaac newton for example in his whole life and discoveries one of his main goals was trying to to tell people that God does exist ...
One of his quotes :
"in the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence"
The simple thumb alone was enough for isaac newton.
but human today saw all the wonders of the world and discoveries of his complicated body systems (i.e. how potassium work in human body in this video) but human not only doubting but also laughing and disrespect other believes ...
@@SunOfG0D Next time you get sick, don't go to a doctor, their education limited you say. Go pray or to a healing priest instead.
Very easy, switch to a product called "No Salt Salt"
It's made of potassium chloride not sodium chloride. You can find it at nearly any grocery store.
Tastes just like regular table salt and you can use it for everything you use regular sodium chloride for.
Is that recommended?
I would eat more veg rather than use potassium chloride.
I don’t know if I’d go so far to say that it “tastes just like salt”. It tastes different. Don’t know how to explain it but it’s different.
@@kconrad5893 you can buy it in bulk much cheaper. Just put in "potassium chloride" in amazon it's like 17$ for a kilogram of pure potassium chloride. I personally make a diy Gatorade with it without the sugar

In 2023, I ended up in ICU because of septic infection. After few days they try to move me in regular room, but my blood pressure drop to dangerous levels and it wasn’t stabilizing without support. Later they find out that the reason that was happening was because I was depleted of potassium in my system. I was having all symptoms you describe for many years, none of the doctors diagnosed my symptoms correctly. In fact, one doctor literally told me that all that symptoms aren’t really real, that my symptoms are result of depression. I was diagnosed with depression at the time, and depression was trigger by all physical symptoms I was having not the other way around.
Wow that Dr is a jerk for saying your symptoms aren’t real. Also it’s amazing that happened in the future, 2023… just kidding I’m sure you meant 2013, just though that was funny lol
Sorry to hear this. What were your symptoms?
I'm so happy to have discovered your video presentations. As a retired Houston firefighter and paramedic I understand so much of what you're saying and I appreciate that you presented in such a way that anyone can follow the logic and science behind your explanations. Keep up the great work thank you!
If people doubt this great man's honesty and knowledge, then I wish them luck in life when it comes to trusting people..they're gonna need it.
Like I say, if people don't believe him, try it out. Follow it by the book and don't cheat and see what the result is. I stopped drinking cokes and as much bread and sweets (although I've never liked sweets alot)I started keto about two weeks ago to see what it'd do. In the last 6 months I've gone from weighing 328 lbs to 296lbs. I'm going to keep doing keto , although I still have some areas to clean up , and them I'm going to my my vitals tested again. I feel alot better. I have more energy , I don't get hungry as often, I don't have chest pain around the heart area and rarely any numbness. I can tell if I have carbs that are bad, like fried chicken breading , makes me feel like somebody hit me with a bat. I eat my veggies more. I have been eating a few tablespoons of almond butter before meals and it makes me less hungry and I stay satiated and I can go longer without eating , that way my body burns my fat. Try things out for yourself , don't take anyone's word as 100% truth. Always test things and see what works for you and what keeps you healthy
i started drinking Coconut water and it really helps with my Potassium level it also cured my acid reflux which didn't occur to me until i watched this video ..Acid reflux is actually an acid deficiency and a low amount the stomach doesn't seal the valve ...
Which coconut water exactly pleas
@@hedyehroosta9903 Any brand is fine as long as it's just coconut water ..I use UFC at the moment because its on offer But Vital or Innocent is fine and tastes great
Yes it is ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Agreed! Have you tried avocados instead of coconut water in order to reach your potassium levels? Feedback?
One day, a legend from the Cyber World once said:
"Potassium"

Found a deltarune comment
Now I can finally rest
Hell yeah
Finally
I found it in 5mins
🎶😄👀
I know it’s not keto approved, but I’ve been getting most of my potassium from coconut water. It’s packed with it, and it’s delicious! It makes meeting my daily potassium requirement easy. Btw, I found out how much potassium I need every day from you, Dr. Berg, so thank you!
Glad to help!
It has other electrolytes a.lso
Would you tell me why it isn’t keto approved? I thought it just had the fat from the coconut, oh no… I love coconut water T_T (not bottled ones with added sugar, I mean the one directly from inside the coconut)
@@TheBee1470 coconut water directly from the coconut is pretty high in sugar. The bottled coconut water I buy is natural coconut water straight from the coconut.
@@TheBee1470 are you thinking of coconut milk? That’s a processed product. Different than coconut water. That’s the one that has coconut fat in it.
Good valuable info Sir. We don't need 7-8 salads. Here is the list of other foods, high in potassium.
Lima beans (1 cup - 955 mg)
Pinto beans (1 cup - 2688 mg)
Kidney beans (1 cup - 2587 mg)
Soybeans (1 cup - 3342)
Lentils (1 cup - 731)
Cantaloupe (1 medium - 1474 mg)
Two - three of these foods should take care of your Potassium requirements.
Can you tell me how much means 1 cups in grams Please.Thanks
1 Cup = 128g
Do your own research as these numbers (per 128g / cup) are wrong.
Wrong crowd
No 1 Cup means 207 G@@GurpreetKaur-hj9xg
I'm really starting to understand the mechanics behind nutrients, but can you please explain the difference between potassium and magnesium? They do similar things, but are inherently different. Thank you! Love your channel. Exactly what I needed.
Thank you I lost potassium by sweating a lot when we lived in a warm climate without AC and I became dangerously low in potassium and magnesium both With heart arrhythmia and lethargy
Drink coconut WATER went u get up. Take it with u went u go out. Eat Beet and drink beet root juice if u can.
That’s a good warning to share with people, thanks.
Honestly, Dr Berg, you are the best teacher I've ever known. Just imagine...I took all the biology courses in college and I never really understood the sodium-potassium pump until now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge...wish I were privy to your videos ten years ago!
Potassium also works on the lungs if you lack potassium breathing problem can occur because your lung cannot contract and expand.
Yes. Potasium transports calcium and probably Magnesium to the cell and also help create Acidity of of the stomach as the Dr. Berg said in this video and calcium and Magnesium and due to help control the contract and expand the lungs. If your lack potasium your stomach will not be acidic enough and malabsorption of electrolytes will happen and thus your breathing will be distributed and you might face severe acidosis and hypocalcemia! The key is to get enough vegetables 7 cubs every day!
@@abukarabdirahman7846 7 cups........way too high in Oxalates!!!!!!!!!!!
@@abukarabdirahman7846 do you have some good potassium suplements i can use or just to go with fruits and vegetables ?
@@abukarabdirahman7846 i prefer coconut water. 2 cups of coconut water has your potassium levels covered for the day. it takes 20 seconds to drink a cup of coconut water.
I know this comment is old but hmmm, I wonder if I was low on potassium when I started having breathing problems. The doc just prescribed an inhaler and sent me on my way. While the inhaler did help, I often wondered if it was really asthma or something else. Darn shame we can't have a world full of Dr. Berg's!
Thank you Dr. Berg for taking the time to make these videos to help people!
My local hospital nephrologist said, my dad's CKD is not reversible. Dad would experience deteriorating kidney and eventually needs to go through hemodialysis. I remember she said avoid potassium. After about a year being a fan of this man (the man!), Jason Fung, Malcolm Kenderick, Ken Berry, Mason Paul, and Norman Norawi (Malaysia), and series of nephro appointments, everything changed.
The same nephro declared that my dad has no need to comeback to her clinic. His creatinine reading is getting better every time. Someone need to redefine noble prize let this man on the stage for it. Thanks Dr Berg!
Did you add potassium???
@@cosmichealth3907 No, but dad continues eating some fruits like banana & manggo (not much) - which mean, potassium not the most crucial part of the diet. Most importantnly is to avoid sugar, wheat and processed foods.
@@jaiusman7394 what was his regimen?
I use "Celtic Grey" Unwashed Sea Salt! Loaded with minerals, Tastes Great!
how much per day?
I dont think it has potassium or enough of it
Wicker Man I think is has more sodium than potassium
It’s 83% sodium chloride; Himalayan salt is usually 96% sodium chloride. The best part about Celtic Sea Salt is it has the vast majority or trace elements (close to 50 of them) in the proportion your body needs (we evolved from the ocean).
For potassium, eat bananas, potatoes (all varieties) and veggies.
For magnesium, use magnesium chloride oil topically or take Epsom Salt baths or swim in the ocean often.
@@wyattlavigne but the oceans are sooo polluted.I use REAL salt out of salt beds in UTAH , it is not bleached .But asparagus has a lot of potassium as does spinach.. ... time for my green smoothie

even organic soil
That is why we use fertilizer
@@lijie6431 But does any of that fertilizer come from grass-fed cows?

Green/Red Salads and purple sweet potatoes are my go to sources for potassium. I have severe adrenal fatigue and liver problems and eating less meat and more carbs (salads and purple sweet potatoes) makes me feel allot better/calm. I try to go into Ketogenic a few days a week as well (more salads, less carb).
Its amazing, you have a video on everything!! I look for something and Dr Eric already has a video on it. Plus your voice is so soothing!
Amazing video. One of the most important videos a Keto diet person will need during his journey. Thank you Dr. berg from south of Germany.
Calcium is contractile. Calcium does not relax the muscle. It is the agonist to magnesium. Magnesium is the relaxer. Not calcium. When calcium out strips Mg, cramps occur.
Tamara Spillis I have noticed that as well. I think it was a little mistake from Dr berg
Looking back on my younger days when I drank a LOT of beer, I was definitely Potassium, Magnesium and B vit deficient. I had symptoms that I now know were because of this. No Doctor EVER told me about deficiencies, just gave me useless pills, and creams that did very little. I feel fitter now than I did 30 years ago because I supplement and eat healthier. ...................... and watch DR Berg videos.
Amazing!!!
Alcohol like caffeine Will wash out alot of mineral especially sodium and calcium.
You Dr Berg sir are a heaven sent.
By watching your videos, it enables me to pinpoint what could be the problem.
Keep up the great work.
Dr Berg , I thank you for all your amazing selfless care for helping myself and thousands more I’m sure,God bless you and family
I have been suffering serious fatigue for three years and I startet months ago to increase potassium, cod liver oil and vitamin D, magnesium and B. I got my strength back, I don't live in my bed anymore, I have been quitting sugar's because I don't have cravings anymore. I have gone down 50% on my medication for anxiety and depression because I just feel great. My RLS have disappeared so I sleep much better.
well, hell's bells, of course doctors who are Big Pharm bots wont tell you about potassium issues for things like high bp, cause then you can take care of yourself, and dont have to keep taking their meds.....dr berg, you are awesome....
That's a very American point of view. Look at Europe, the more you see a doctor there the less they earn off you actually. Still doesn't make them give people potassium.
@@nashj.3238 I was hospitalized in the Czech Republic with a hemmorhagic diet. One week of intensive care diet was not mentioned once. Drugs were, many times. When I got out I turned my life and health around through diet only, with the help of Drs. Berg, Fung, Berry, Bikman, et al. I have not been sick in two years at all and many conditions like fatty liver, sleep apnea, gas, and lifelong allergies are gone, along with my then sky high blood pressure. It might not be about profit to these doctors but their education was basically funded and shaped by the pharma industry. Drugs are what they know, period.

Wow! I been doing amazing on the keto diet for 14 months now. Had a bunch of stress come up and been feeliing pretty burnt out. I’m pretty sure it has to do with potasaium, never realized how important it was.
i originally didn't watch your video and then thought you were crazy. I saw your webinar for deficiency symptoms which included stools sticking to the toilet and vitamin a deficiency then I started paying attention. Doc pimps did damage to my liver after labeling me with metabolic syndrome so I am quite tense. Two presentations on the internet were/ are false and were making me ill. I have been using potassium so I didn't feel as endangered and desperate to be able to get up and stay up and have cognizance I increased my potassium based on your video in December 2016. I found a good change in my energy. I was on greens since simmer which increased my energy and helped with breathing. I believe I am getting more through the citrate then greens unfortunately I bought your gallblader formula as a result because of liver pain. I just tried your sciatica and back pain techniques. Thanks

Have been on keto and IF and I drink a lot of coffee and green tea (diuretics) while I'm fasting, and was noticing these high blood pressure and frequent urination and had a difficult time sleeping due to heart palpitations (heart beating fast), and saw your other video on potassium deficiency, and bingo! Answered my question. Now I'm eating leafy greens and avocado, and those symptoms are gone and can sleep well again. Thank you, Dr. Berg!!
I just got my test results and my blood was dangerously high in potassium levels. Since I couldn't eat 7 to 10 cups of greens as Dr. Berg recommends, I would supplement with two to four grams of potassium in the form of "NoSalt". The amount supplemented depended on how much potassium in my diet. It is my guess that my need for electrolytes decreased as I approached my ideal weight. During the first 3 weeks of Keto, the need for electrolytes may be higher. Be careful with supplementation. I was not too far away from being hospitalized for my condition. The good news is that I no longer need statins or high blood pressure medication and my diabetes is in remission after only 3 months and 40 lb. I have no plans of ever getting off of my keto diet but I will increase my caloric intake.
Dr Berg? If you are there? I started a high potassium diet 3 months ago and in just one day I was zapping around like I had taken a fast drug, and after 5 days my blood pressure went up to 180! The hospital put me on high blood pressure medication. I am addicted to this diet of high potassium. I am 55. Why did my blood pressure go up? I don't use salt. I do have heart disease had a heart attack 9 years ago. I am so glad I watched your video. They don't have potassium tablets over the counter here in Australia, so I grow my own beets now and shovel my vegies down every day. So addictive. And an added bonus was my piano playing is out of sight now. It must help muscle memory. My hands fly across the piano now. But now I have got a new problem. The tendons in my thumbs are painful. Never had this problem before. Hmmm what to do?
I love this man and I don't even know him. I added the potassium drink to my regime and my Blood Sugar is 98 and that's a big deal for me. Keto by itself just didn't get my numbers down. 1 scoop I sipped all day on it. I will do 1 scoop tonight I have dawn phenomenon and I wake up to high numbers let's see. Thank you Dr. Berg, hopefully I lose weight. I started keto about 2 weeks ago.
I am back Dr. Berg. I drank an extra bottle of potassium before bed and woke up and my morning Blood Sugar was 118 and not 190. I have/had Dawn Phenomenon and I am claiming my healing. I had my first cortisone shot 10/9/19 and it will be my last. I am terrified of needles and now I am sticking with keto and all you suggest. I actually fear the needle more than Type II Diabetes. I am on the right road now.
You are a wonderful professor making complex things very simple without losing any smallest detail point.

Autoimmune issues and recently I had vertigo ( too much sodium without magnesium potassium and electrolytes) and I figured by increasing my potassium (your supplement) that my balance returned 90% with 24 hours!!!! Maybe 🤔 potassium could help others with vertigo?! The ears are aliened to the kidney in Chinese medicine. Maybe then inner ear balance is essential for those prone to Vertigo??? Your thoughts or video would be great... you are a Nobel laureate in my books!!! Many many thanks and gratitude!!!!!

This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing! I just recently discovered my low potassium levels were inhibiting strength. Thanks for solidifying this truth.
I learn more every time I watch you, thanks!!!
The body is a complex system, on top of that there are so many nutrients that assist the body to function properly. You break it down in such a comprehensive terms that everyone can understand, I learned so much from your video. Thank you Dr. Berg!
You have changed my life! I am finally stop craving carbs like crazy. I am eating spinach every day. I even tried Spring greens today , they are delicious. Now I have to convince my 10 yr old daughter to eat them with me! 10 cups of veggies a day.. here we come! ;)
I started making a large container of salad and eating a fairly large bowl at least 2x's a day, I no longer want sweets. I was wondering if that is what helped. I know people that have to buy candy every couple of days, one thinks she just has to have chocolate, says she doesn't crave it but I know better. I ask her wouldn't it be better to live without the sweets and getting sick than having the sweets and not having the energy to walk up the steps when she comes home from work. She just thinks she would rather eat what she wants. You can't win. If you teach your daughter while she's young, then later she may come back to it if she gets away from it as she gets older.
16oz ground beef
Two baked potatoes
and one avocado
will give you around 4,000-4,500mg of potassium a day if that helps anyone.
You are changing lives of many, many and many more to come .
Thank you Dr Berg for putting such a complicated issue in simple terms, amazing stuff!! I'm getting my Wheatgrass powder today 😇💛
Spent 6 weeks in the hospital when I was in my thirties. The biggest reason for the extended stay was that my potassium would not level out and the Dr.s won't release you until it is normal. Took these giant potassium pills each day. Finally, had my partner bring in some tomatoes, spinach and a banana to me each day. After six weeks, within three days my levels were normal and I said bye bye to the hospital!
That's so sad. Do you know what caused the deficiency?
I listened to this because I just bought some Potassium Chloride as a dietary supplement. I thought you explained things really well, thank you.
I’ve learned a lot from your videos. Thank you for your time helping us. Stay with us for more years.
