Use Your Feet As Warning Signs (Video)

I have looked to Dr. Berg for years ever since I had gall bladder attacks.  While the hospital told me that I would have to have my gall bladder removed to deal with the problem, I asked if there was something I could do to reverse it.  The “doctor/surgeon” told me that the surgery was elective and there was nothing I could do to rid myself of gall stones.  Lo and behold, Dr. Berg showed up and I watched his videos and was able to eliminate them from my body and haven’t had a single attack since then.  However, Dr. Berg is a wealth of knowledge on good health.  In a recent video, he shows you how to look at the “windows” of your feet to see what is going on inside your body and to take care of it as soon as you see it.

According to Dr. Berg:

Did you know that foot health can be a key indicator of underlying health problems? Learn what your feet can tell you about your health. In this video, we’ll review some common disease warning signs that show up as foot symptoms.

Today, we’re going to discuss the connection between your feet and health. The foot receives oxygen and nutrition from the heart through tiny capillaries. The following feet symptoms are also potential signs of diseases.

1. Peripheral neuropathy This shows up as numbness or burning in the feet due to low vitamin B1 (thiamine). Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1, may help.

2. Fingers or toes turn blue This can be related to an overactive sympathetic nervous system. This is often treated medically with calcium channel blockers. Magnesium is a natural calcium channel blocker and the primary regulator of calcium inside the cells. Magnesium glycinate is the most absorbable form of magnesium.

3. Foot cramps Foot cramps and charlie horses in the calves are among the earliest signs of magnesium deficiency. Try taking 400 to 800 mg of magnesium glycinate for several weeks to alleviate foot cramps.

4. Swollen feet Swelling of feet typically involves diabetes and excess sugar in the blood, which causes sodium and water retention. The solution is to remove sugar from the diet.

5. Discoloration of lower legs and feet This is often caused by a circulation problem. Deep vein thrombosis is a condition where you develop clots in the veins of the lower legs. This can cause fluid retention and discoloration of the lower legs and feet.

6. Big toe pain Pain in the big toe is usually a symptom of gout caused by too much uric acid. Decreasing oxalates in the diet can sometimes solve this problem. Magnesium can also help decrease oxalates.

Ulcers on the foot can be caused by diabetes. Benfotiamine and a low-carb diet can help mitigate a diabetic or high blood sugar problem.

Fungus or jaundice can cause discoloration around the nail bed. Splitting or curving toenails indicate nutritional deficiencies.
