I have 25 years on antidepressants. After starting my own journey with Dr. Berg I found out that I was lacking B12, vitamin D and potassium. Sea kelp and K2 also helped me. After 3 years of fatigue I have left my bed and have energi for the whole day and feel really good in a way that all the medication I took never did. Thanks πŸ™πŸŒ±

My Dad was diabetic and on Metformin for years. Long story short, he was diagnosed with dementia by his family doctor. Ended up in rehab after a fall and found out his vitamin B12 was critically low. He started receiving B12 injections and seemed so much better. Unfortunately when his B level came up, they stopped the injection and he went straight back down hill and a few weeks later died from a stroke. If any loved ones seem to have dementia symptoms, B12 levels should be checked often.

I had h-pylori and got rid of it. For 48 hours I ate broccoli multiple times a day (knocked down h-pylori) and then put coconut oil in my coffee and tea for ~ 6 months. Never came back!
