Let’s talk about the first sign of methylcobalamin deficiency.
Methylcobalamin is vitamin B12, and it’s essential for DNA, red blood cells, and your myelin sheath. Vitamin B12 also helps support your spinal column and brain.
If you’re deficient in vitamin B12, you could experience tingling, numbness, or burning sensations.
Other signs of vitamin B12 deficiency can include:
• Chronic pain
• Depression
• Muscle wasting
• Blurry vision
• Tinnitus
• Anemia
• Mouth ulcers
• Sore throat
• Hair loss
You could also experience symptoms if you have too much vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 toxicity will typically occur if you’re taking too much synthetic vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)—not the natural version (methylcobalamin).
Cyanocobalamin can build up in the body and cause symptoms such as:
• Acne
• Palpitations
• Anxiety
• Red cheeks
• Headaches
• Insomnia
• Akathisia
• Suicidal thoughts
You could be deficient in vitamin B12 long before you start to feel any effects. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t damage being done. One of the first symptoms you would eventually feel is extreme fatigue.
Foods high in vitamin B12 are animal products. There is no vitamin B12 in plants.
Top causes of vitamin B12 deficiency:
• Malabsorption
• Plant-based or vegan diets
• Gastric bypass
• Atrophy of the stomach
• Gastritis
• H. pylori infection
• Ulcers
• Inflammation in the intestines
• Aspirin
• Alcohol
• Junk foods
• Antibiotics
• Antacids or PPIs
• Birth control pills
• Pregnancy
• Lactation
• Smoking
• Polymorphism

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps increase your awareness of the signs of vitamin B12 deficiency. I'll see you in the next video.
Good morning, Dr.Berg another great and educational video as usual. Thank you very much for sharing it 🙏🥰 🇨🇦
Hey Dr. Berg! I am a bit confused as to how long it takes the body to go into autophagy from fasting. When researching studies online they usually say it takes 1-3 days for the body to enter autophagy. I know this has a lot do with how fast one’s metabolism is, but is there any evidence that 18 hours is enough to enter autophagy? Intuitively it sounds right, I’m just wondering why this hasn’t been studied on humans more considering autophagy and fasting are the number one most powerful healing tools. When I fast for 2 days I feel like super woman and I have so much energy, focus and my spiritual connection is super heightened. 18 hour fasts are great as well and I’m trying to do intermittent fasting daily now.
I love your videos, I’m trying to watch all of them because you make everything so simple and easy to understand. 😊👌
Much love!
You enter autophagy after 17 hours.
💪🏿Superwoman
i dont know anything about this, but i would say this idea is in general wrong. usually body processes dont run in 0 or 100% state. autophagy probably happens all the time , its just increasing more and more the longer you fast.
its like with fat and sugar metabolism… the body is processing fat and sugar all the time , the question is in which ratio.
Happy Thanksgiving😊
Autophagy start times can vary a lot, if you are new to fasting it can take 24 or more hours. I have done a lot of 36 hour fasts so I am generally into autophagy in about 12 hours. The 36 hour fast has become my fav and only fast I like. You only miss all meals on one day, then fast during 2 sleep cycles. Say from 6pm to 6am the third day, very effective and not hard at all after the first few times.

Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
thank you fidel
Thank you Fidel
Thank you very much 👏
Thank you so much Fidel 🐈
❤❤🎉🎉❤❤
This is so timely 👏 I got to share this with a friend who is having this challenge at the moment. Thanks Doctor Berg for you are a life saver, a huge gift to humanity. ❤❤❤ God bless you sir for always being there for us 👍 🙏 appreciate
Dr Berg please – we HIGHLY need a comprehensive video in which you cover MTHFR mutations and your advice how to fix the methylate cycle if you have it. This is such a common mutation affecting over 50% of population, that doesn’t even know. I have it too, like many others, would be SO great if you could please make a video on this and on how to fix it, and which vitamins/supplements to take and which to avoid. You never covered this I think as standalone topic, but would be so helpful. Thanks!
Epoch Times had a large article about this very issue. Great real newspaper to subscribe to.
YEs! I just had another CVRO (central vein retinal occlusion)post mild Covid infection. There are now published studies documenting MTHFR and Covid side effects…PLUS try getting a doc to take you seriously when you report you have this! I REFUSE laughing gas (nitrous) because of PUBLISHED issues with MTHFR and they tell you “you simply need to take a baby aspirin a day” MY family has several of us with this and ALL have had at least one, if not multiple issues attributed to MTHFR! 🤦♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦♀️
You’ve heard Gary Brecka talk about this, hey?
@@kirstenrissling879 I didn’t, please tell me more about it?? Where should I look for this?
He’s made a few videos on MTHFR. I think mostly this year. Possibly easier to find on his website / app or by asking his staff.
I also feel more energy with B12. ❤ Happy Thanksgiving, Dr. Berg & community. I’m 10 pounds from my goal weight! I couldn’t have done it without you.❤
On this Thanksgiving Day, let us remember to eat salads and cabbage and other leafy greens, before we start consuming all the othe feast foods we shouldnt eat.
Also, let give thanks that Dr Berg does what he does to educate the world, despite all the pressure and pushback from big food, big pharma, and big medicine. Subscribe to Dr Berg’s newsletter, no cost, just more information to get healthier.
As someone who is highly anemic, and has had the majority of my stomach removed — leaving not much room..
That ain’t happening.
I am BBQing a tri-tip, and making cranberry chimichurri, to top it with.
Amen and Amen!🙏🏻
@@XOChristianaNicole i never judge what what anyone eats. Though keto foods are much healthier, its still a personal choice. I do the turkey thing more out of tradition than anything, though I do want to start a prime rib roast tradition for Christmas.
We’re not grazing animals.
Or don’t eat the wrong foods to begin with
As a heavy drinker for about four decades I can confirm I have had this issue more times than I can remember.
Yeah I quit drinking for this reason
Thank you Dr Berg!! 🙏❤🙏❤🙏 I have every symptom you mentioned. And now I know why!
I cut back on the amount of red meat I was eating a few years ago, due to me being unemployed and the cost of meat becoming so expensive. I used to eat red meat around 2-3 times a week, now I’m lucky to have it 2-3 times a month!! I will now be buying and eating it a bit more often, as much as my budget can stretch for it.
Will that repair the damage I’ve done though? 🤔🤔😟😟
You may want to avoid supermarkets. To locate a few caring farmers/ gardeners to get nutrients rich foods from instead. It’s often much cheaper.
B12 is the cheapest supplement. I’ve seen Dr comments that it is good to take small dose daily. We only eat fish I catch as the only animal protein few times a week. Went complete vegetarian over the summer with the big garden production. Lots of beans. Daily vitamin has some B12. Wife just had her Iron and B12 checked and they were both right in the middle of the range. B12 was better than a few years ago with animal protein every meal.
Get solgar sub lingual b12 methocobalomin, melt in the mouth. If u get meat, get grass fed. Better once a month good quality
Great timing. I was just researching B12 last night. Thanks Doc
Glad this video was informative!
@ Dr. Berg You are tops in explaining in simple easy terms that just about anyone can understand and put to immediate use. Thank You so very much for all the free knowledge you so generously pass on to those of us searching for better health by being in the know to what is being done right and eliminating what is unknowingly being done wrong.
As ever, always spot on, eye opening and connecting the dots needed and useful information to the missing bits not previously put together to get a better view of the overall health picture being searched for a very long time and getting closer and closer to “got it (” it” being sorely needed missing bits that tie what is known together for better overall health)” finally!
Again, a very sincere Thank You!
Thank you so much Doctor Berg .Vitamin is the important topic ,everyone need to know and how to use them appropriately. I am grateful your explanation and education for that.❤.Have a happy Thanks Giving dr Berg
Thank you for all you do Dr. Berg!!! I have learned so much from you.
I appreciate your comment and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Dr. Berg You are tops in explaining in simple easy terms that just about anyone can understand and put to immediate use.
Hey it was several years ago I ran into this problem. Would like to briefly relay my story if it helps anyone. I almost died from this issue and was reluctant to seek medical but glad I did. It’s hard to say if I have the genetic resistance or just bad habits with nutrition but I have made big improvement overall. Btw I’m a white male of German heritage, and in my 40’s. No drugs or smoking btw. When it got bad I was under alot of stress and had the blood anemia problem. Very low blood oxygen, weak as hell cause of that and started to show jaundice appearance. the cure was blood transfusion to clean up my blood, then a week of better diet rich in protein. As well as many doses of B12 injections spread out over a couple months. in basic terms the b12 and the protein need to work together to get the best results for your body. If you only have one or the other you will not get any results and that created bad malnourished stuff on my end. Was rough, and I still struggle at times, I have to force myself to eat even if I’m not hungry…
This is very interesting.
12 years ago, following a host of disabling symptoms, I was diagnosed with MS when a large cervical lesion was discovered on my cervical spine.
Having struggled with chronic fatigue, I tried taking B12 supplements (methylcobalamin). Within days, my ankles would swell and nails became white and brittle. I took this as a sign of lack of absorption and stopped taking them.
I am sorry about MS. How are you doing now? What did you do about that B12?
@@radhikajujjavarapu6971 I’m managing the symptoms. I’ve recently stopped taking Copaxone due to a possible adverse reaction. I’m waiting to start taking Vumerity.
I’ve done nothing about the b12 but I am aware my red blood cell count is on the low side.
Dr. Berg, YOU ARE one of THE MOST valuable “resources” of TRUE HEALTH & HEALING advice available to people around the world, AND, you are GREATLY APPRECIATED and supported by those who loyally follow your IRREFUTABLY CREDIBLE, WELL-DOCUMENTED ACCURATE “natural” (non-synthetic-derived) information.
👍👍👍😉😎
Hi Dr Berg!
It is a relevant subject to my health and gave me a reply to my questions on my long running illnesses. But, I have a question for you as well and that when I use B 12 vitamin generally known as vitamin B complex it immediately worsens my problems giving rise to my chronic gastric and constipation, besides indigestion. Seeking your advice. Thanks
I get sub lingual b12 methocobalomin by solgar. By passes my guts
Thank you Dr. Berg for this video. I just wanted to let you know that I see your older vides as well as the newest ones today pop up in my feed almost every day. I am subscribed and that may have something to do with it. It seems that subscribers can easily find your videos but it’s the new people who may not have found you yet that are most affected.
I had all these symptoms most of my life. Thanks for your videos you have saved my life!
