0:00 3 main reasons why you get muscle twitches (and how to stop them)
1:13 This is what happens when your blood alkaline is too low
3:50 These are the action steps you can take to stop or prevent muscle twitches
In this video, I talk about the 3 main causes of muscle twitches, called tetany, and give you some ways to stop them. You know what I mean! Sometimes it might be a muscle on your upper arm that’s twitching. Or on your face.
These are the 3 main causes:
1. Alkalosis, a condition in which your blood is too alkaline. It’s difficult to test for blood alkalinity because as soon as you draw it, the blood oxidizes and changes the pH. I linked a video below that describes the symptoms of alkalosis.
a.Alkalosis is caused by: decreased potassium or hydrochloric acid in your stomach; high cortisol; and, the use of diuretics. You’re likely low in blood calcium, one of the electrolytes, and so your body can’t properly regulate nerve and muscle impulses, resulting in muscle twitches.
b.Oddly it doesn’t make sense to take more calcium because it’s alkalizing. Instead, you need to drop the pH. More on that in a minute. If you’re on antacids that could be making your body more alkaline.
2. There’s a condition called hypocalcemia (low calcium). It could be coming from low parathyroid hormone, or low vitamin D which is more common. Some of the symptoms are tingling, arrhythmia, psychosis, and low blood pressure.
3. Hypomagnesemia (low magnesium in the blood), creating tremors, spasms, fatigue, arrhythmia, and palpitations. This could be caused by antacids, insulin resistance (a prediabetic condition), antibiotics, low vitamin D, diuretics, and fluoride.
These are the actions steps you can take to stop or prevent muscle twitches:
1. Acidify your body. Consume apple cider vinegar, one to two tablespoons in a glass of water a few times per day. Use a straw to drink it. Or you can take betaine hydrochloride right before you eat to help your digestion.
2. Add magnesium and potassium to your diet. Eat more vegetables, which are full of these minerals.
3. Take vitamin D and lower your stress. Get a water filter to pull out fluoride, and install one for your shower too.
Now you know why you get muscle twitches, and what you can do to stop or prevent them.

I’ve become the nutritionist in the family and friends just by watching dr berg’s videos.
Hahha same
Same
ME TOO !!!!
LOL....me too! I was already a bit, but not too much followed by the family, now they listen to me more. He's amazing!! We love you from Italy!!
YES, I'm the same lol!!
So, my right eyelid has been twitching for over 2 weeks. Found this video last night and bought ACV and potassium. Took these with vitamin D and magnesium. Within 3 hours, the twitching stopped! It’s 8:30 p.m. same day and still no twitching. ❤ Thank you!
Oh my God mine has been twitching for one week now
I hvent slept for one week and lm really depressed bcz its not easy l cnt say much but yah its not a good feeling lm feeling right now but thanks so much for this 🙏
Thanks Dr. Berg!!!
@jahmooma how is it did you get some relief?
@@trix4487 yes l did my dear 🙏❤
I use to get twitches and heart palpitations and I had really low vitamin D levels, IR, Fatigue, Spasms, high levels of cortisol from ptsd, low HCL, ate zero vegetables, severe depression,. After finding doctor berg I've lost 30 pounds and have reversed the above mentioned deficiencies and I do feel a lot better. Hasn't cured everything but the physical symptoms are gone!
Did you calcium levels also low?
Very vaugeeeeeeeee what did you do? Come on seriously you said alot whilst saying nothing. My iq is 190 so don't even begin to rebuttal. (Intelligence quotient) if you don't adhere or comprehend. Thanks and God bless you. I love you all the same.
@@TheHitman- wow
This sounds like what im experiencing now
It goes both ways. For me, taking too much Vitamin K while trading Vitamin D caused Tetany. The extra K was pulling all the calcium out of the blood and into the bones, which made my blood alkaline despite taking 4000mg of potassium and drinking ACV daily.
Had twitching all the time before keto. Keto fixed so many issues and uncovered a few. Thanks for all your hard work to help us get healthy and stay healthy.
Keto didn't stop my twitching. It seemed to get worse. Iodine seems to have stopped it. But be careful with starting Lugol's. Go slow! Do the Bromine Detox Protocol first! You have been duly warned.
@@birkit1133 Thanks! Agree about iodine but what's lugol? And bromine detox protocol?
@@birkit1133 Yeah I think you need to make sure you have enough selenium before iodine supplementing. Like take it for 2 weeks before iodine if you're deficient in selenium.
My eye was twitching like crazy and I started taking potassium and apple cider vinegar and it completely went away
How did you took acv ?
Dr. Berg...a man of many wonders and wonderful insights.
Thank you so much Dr Berg for your efforts in making us doing better. We love you :)
Excellent presentation. I used to have this. It went away with time. I improved my diet the second I realized that it’s true, “You ARE what you eat.”
You're awesome Dr Berg..
You've taught me so much!
My left eye twitching was driving me crazy it happened so frequently. I also had horrible leg and foot cramps which got worse when I started the Keto plan. Since August 16, 2021, I've been learning more and more including what to add and take out of my eating plan. I've added a considerable amount of Potassium and the eye twitch and leg and foot cramps have stopped. I can sleep for the first time in years without drugging myself with over the counter help. People say I seem happier and I feel that is true and now it feels like I have my brain at almost 100% on good days. I am very new to all this but so far I am loving the changes in me. Just for reference I am 62.5 years old.
What changes did you make? TIA🙏🏼
My left eye has been twitching for 3 weeks T-T
ALWAYS superb information. Thanks, Dr. Berg.
Congratulations Dr berg your channels blowing up, your the best 🎆🎆
Yup! I confirm this to be true by experience. My project for the past few months has been: How many different kinds of salads and veggie plates can I create so we don't get tired of eating the same veggies day in and day out. It's been a great deal of fun and an adventure with food coming up with more than 30 different veggie and salad dishes. My favorites are the salads that end up being the main course and the only dish of the meal.
You are the very BEST MEDICAL ADVISOR
You are a magician . I was having this twitch yesterday and now I get to see this video . I am lucky .
Madhuresh minoshi me too🤣🤣🤣
The flow creates a holographic reflection. He flows with videos
This guy's too good , always keeps it real
I love this. You are so helpful. I am so thankful!!! Words really can't explain. Thanks.
I have right eye twitching and spasms. I was diagnosed with low vit d 2 weeks ago. I was on a plant based diet and am on
Keto presently. I am allergic to eggs and am consuming grass fed beef and wild caught salmon and sardines. I eat cruciferous veggies and berries. I have cut out grains and take ACV daily in water. My doctor has me on 50,000 u of vit d, I also take magnesium, b12, and fish oil.
I was referred to a neurologist because the spasms are constant. I have always referred to your videos, Dr. Berg, and follow your advice. Thank you for your immense information.
My right Eye has been twitching for the past week Constantly.
Thank God For Dr. Berg!
did it stop???
I love this man ..just wish I could afford to follow his advice
Glad you've talked about this. Its annoying when that happens. I have hashimoto's.
This man is a genius
I knew Dr Berg would have a video on this. I have all the classic symptoms of right eye twitching numb/tingling tip of fingers both hands and around my lips also somewhat depressed. I’ve been carnivore for over a month corrected alot of the issues but still having tingling and twitching gonna do what he suggested in this video. Thank you as always ❤❤
Any improvement..??
I learn something new every day & Dr Berg does the research for me! Awesome 👏
Hi Dr Eric, thank you for sharing this information. We appreciate that. Keep up the good work. Also Dr Eric when it comes to twitches, I was wondering if you may know what I got on my end? I would get a muscle foot twitch on my left foot, it happens different times. I feel no pain or anything. The twitch just gets annoying at times. Do you recommend drinking apple cider? Any help is greatly appreciate it. Thanks Dr Eric.
Good evening dr .Thank you very much
That was very informative and interesting! Thank you 👍
Thank you very much! I'm glad it helped you.
Superb video Dr Berg Love You ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥Thank You
I'm twitching in my left upper eye lid for 3 mths, it's very scary, I'm twitching left side other part of the body and sometimes right side , feet cramping at night, numbness tips finger , mouth, I had blood came back normal, I couldnt see my vit b12 in the blood test, no diabetes , I've had underactive thyroud for 20 yrs and fibromyalgia, my worry is that its something sinister like Ms, brain tumour ,Parkinson's!!
Thanks for sharing, GREAT information. B-Bless

Well explained! Thanks dr Berg 👍
Ur videos making my life
Thanks Dr.Berg you are amazing 👍👍👍
Thanks Dr Berg 💖
From Manchester UK
I've had this my entire life off and on, annoying. Since going on Dr. Berg's eating plan it has stopped occuring completely and I just had an epiphany watching this video. It's the HCL Acid that cured this condition. I drink an entire tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar right before I eat. Dr. Berg has an older video which is most imformative called ' The Importance of Hydrochloric Acid'. THAT video changed my life and it should be linked with each daily new video he publishes. Great work !
Can u plz tell that only vinegar helped to cure it? Or by taking magnesium supplements too?
Dr Eric Berg you are a genius! I was having the damn twitching on my eye after watching your video I had two tbs of vinegar with 4 tbs of water the twitching went away immediately. Obs "I had been sad because I thought I would have to give up coffee witch I love so much." Thank you!
Hi, how are you? Do you feel often now or it is completely gone away?
Flourine - that's a new one!
Thanks for the educational video as always.
hello dr Eric berg, i am watching your informative videos since 2017

Phenomenal video doctor 👍!
Happy you found it useful! Be well!

I definitely need to start implementing these and see if it helps. I've had this problem in my feet and legs for 9 months. Mostly the left foot. Sometimes the symptoms are really bothersome. My MD ruled out diabetes and MS. We've also checked thyroid levels and dis a lumbar MRI. Everything says 'normal' but my symptoms tell me otherwise. I seem to fit all areas of Hypocslcemia. Interesting! Thanks for sharing your wisdom, Dr. Berg!
How are you doing now?
Thank you Dr.Berg the ACV really worked for me.
Yeah baby! That sounds great!
Hypomagnesema sounds fitting for me. Thanks for the advice.
gonna give this a go. tnx.
Thank you so much. You are describing my symptoms for the past three days. I have been increasing magnesium and cod liver oil, which is helping, but I have to get back to daily ACV, which is hard to take.
acv stops twitching I think I have some need to try taking some I can’t sleep because I wake with it happing
Thankyou Dr. Berg . I’m a mess . My thyroid levels are all screwed up I’m on synthroid because I have no thyroid and feel like I’m dying.Itching tingling twitching. Been progressing for a while. Depression, weakness. I can’t sleep . Feel dehydrated even though I’m drinking
Dr berg i have eye twiching and blinking since 5 years. It only stops when im sleeping. Please create a video to treate this as this treatment is for minor twiching not major like mine
I had a severe stroke last week after my eye was twitching for 2weeks but by the grace of the alrighty lm getting much better,thnkx for the handyhints may God bless ❤🙏
Sorry to hear what happened. Sharing my videos here about stroke: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=stroke
Thanks Dr.
I always laugh when you say 'Limestonel' because I took those Calcium tablets many years ago. I might as well have just licked the wall at my Local Cathedral. Might have got some weird looks though. Lol. Thanks for sharing this important information, & take care too. ❤🙂🐶
Wow you hit it on the head Dr BERG....I drink a lot of alcohol and get many muscle cramps and recently had tingling in my fingers...
So, are you going to stop drinking alcohol?
Been doing this. Had heart attack(s) felt really tired maybe 2 years prior to the main heart attack the one that made go to the ER. The meds givin made me feel like death and my Dr said I was done! The avc and mg also d3 lots of b vitamins and pink salt has revived me in the absence of heart meds except for the water pills. So each time I lose fluids I do the things you mentioned 3 times a day or more depending on how much fluid I lose each day and I take copper supplement very moderately! Statins and fluid pill almost killed me along with the heart attacks
My husband was put on HBP pills + a diuretic and it nearly killed him, too. Statins aren't safe. Diuretics are a killer. They could not figure out why his leg cramps didn't stop. And they also never told him he was Hypokalemic. THAT + the diuretic could've killed him at any moment. He's been on Dr. Berg's way of eating for 9 months (both of us) and he is off ALL meds, lost 80lbs of fat and his blood pressure is perfect. He is 56 years old and in better shape/health than ever. He can do things he hasn't done in over 20 years. We even do extreme weather camping and kayaking. Trying to attempt this 20 years ago would've been a screaming hell.
Thanks for the information doctor
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for discussing this I’ve been twitching the past few months now
Has it got better for you? My left eye underneath keeps twitching for almost a month now
@@Foreverblunted hey did your eye twitch go away ? What did you do for it to go away ? Thank you !!
@@yoasisgurdian8046 yeah mine lasted like a month and some weeks and I just stopped stressing about it then it just went away , I tried not to let it get to me
@@yoasisgurdian8046 Hope you've found help. I really recommend vitamin A as In beta carotene. Carrot juice. & shiitake mushroom extract capsules or shiitake mushroom extract powder.
Hi! Typically how long does it take before one starts seeing results using these steps?
Thank you Dr Berg for this insightful video. I been having this issue lately, but I also have intolerance to histamine. So apple cider vinegar is not an option for me. What advice do you have for someone in my situation?
With the GAPS diet you can cure histamine intolerance ✨
I was getting that twicking alot on my right eye its so irritating
@@jillysaur6422 twitching lol
Did you figure it out I think mine is an electrolyte problem
@@About36Greekss same here what did you do?
Dr. Berg I love you man. Since the crash I have this eyetwitching now pretty often on my right eye. And I have actually high calcium and super low magnesium combined with steady elevated cortisol(did a Hairanalysis), or out of whack cortisol levels(more during night than day ala adrenal fatigue). And I had arrythmia during the first 3weeks.
How about a video on cooked vegetables? I see that DrWilson doesn't recommend too much cruc. vegetables for people with "issues", but wants people to eat cooked vegetables instead 3-5x a day. What's your take on that? They say that we're not able to digest raw food good enough to nourish a depleted body. Was thinking to skip cruc veggies for awhile, especially since if I remember right you say they're not that good for SiBo due to the high fiber intake. Which I fear I'm developing due to the system "shutdown" for such a long period.
I'd love a video on how to reduce Copper. Since I can't seem to understand it really. My potassium is on the high side aswell.
Stuff of which I'm severly deficient is Sodium(Na), Manganese(Mn), Cobalt(Co), Silver(Ag), Silicon(Si), Boron(B), Lithium(Li) and Barium(Ba).
Thank you for everything! I've bingewatched all your videos last 2months to get my health back^^!
Hair analysis is not reliable for basing any mineral deficiency. However, liquid pico minerals are the best type to replenish the body cells.

Thank you great info... Could you also do a video on low sodium... I was shocked when I was told I had low sodium levels in a hair test.
Thanks doctor!
Can you do a video on dessicated beef liver pills and your recommendations please
Thank you again🙏
You're welcome. Thank you for watching my videos!
الله يبارك فيك ♥️ God bless you
You are a lifesaver my eye has been twitching on and off for months after watching this I took 1200mg of calcium and it stopped!!
Helpful thx!
When the muscles in your eye twitch, would that be the same thing? I always thought it was because I was tired! Thanks for the information!
Many people say that. I think it's a shame, a bit sad. I highly doubt being tired has something to do with people's nerves twitching.
Great video as always Dr., got a question about height. How to know that your growth plates are still open? Is there a chance that our growth plates are open while we're getting taller so slowly ?
Like me, when I was 17-19 I only grew like quarter to half of an inch. Is there a chance my growth plates are still open?
I think the top of the skull is open 'til age 28 and then fuses. It's designed to let the brain grow larger and more intelligent because we had to be quite witty to survive and 'solve puzzles' non-stop. Nowadays, not so much, but the DNA remains.
@@lillypod1337 so you're saying I can still grow but only in my head ? Haha
if you have twitching which goes into your cheek please look up hemi facial spasms,very rare but worth a look .
Aha.aha. Aha. Lower stress 😁😁 last days before master thesis. 🤪 But I’ll definitely try to consume all those other things. Hope my nightmares and eye twitching will go away.
Also investigate whether you're hyperventilating. Hyperventilation increases O2, but decreases Co2. Low Co2 will reduce acidity. So in order to increase the acidity, you have to increase the CO2. Search for CO2 tolerance excersices.
I know someone that just came home from the hospital after a month after a stroke, i barely recognize them, and it broke my heart, ive been watching some of your previous videos, you said up the vitamin c, potassium, magnesium and do healthy keto to prevent this, but what about after a stroke? Does it still apply?
I have forever been getting twitch in the right eye and then left eye. I'm highly suspecting Vit D
Much love
Thank you doc ...you are gems love from india

سؤال/عندي سمنة في منطقة البطن فقط وامتنعت عن تناول السكر هل ينفع ؟
I twitch a lot when I see blood. Like seeing blood makes me twitch a lot, my head will snap around and same with my arms and shoulders. Which is a problem for me because I want to be a Marine Life Veterinarian but I don’t know if it’s just because I can’t handle seeing blood or not.
Hey Doctor I’ve been having muscle twitching for 7 years.. I wanted to try the Apple Cider vinegar how long do you think I should start seeing a change on my body when I start drinking ACV .. thank you doctor
Did it work for you.?
What about benign fasciculation syndrome? My legs below my knee visibly twitch constantly. Ever since I had a c-section with my first child. Would that be the same?
Can you take Magnesium and potassium if you are on warfarin?
Thank You.. makes sense
Sure :)
Exercise, get some sun every day while exposing skin, maybe some meditation to train your mind for relaxation, eat salad with a vinegar dressing, and what about some other foods with potassium? banana?
Did you eat meat?
Everytime I've had twitching before it went away in its own!
Thank youuuuu ☺☺☺
Hey Doc, I've had muscle twitching for 18 months now mainly in the calves but started in my eye lid/arm. All bloods came back OK, GP sent me to get checked by a neurologist and all clear but still have persistent calve twitching but no answers? Magnesium is on the lower scale of tolerance, but i do take a supp each day, could the issue be the pathway/delivery? I also have heart palpitations on and off. Frustrating not having an answer. Haven't had Vitamin D checked in last bloods i don't think. Would love any feedback/thoughts. Cheers
Thank you - very interesting information! I did however think that acv had an alkalising effect in the body when consumed, just like taking lemon/lime water.
It acidifies the stomach which is a good thing.
@@takeoffyourblinkers Ok that makes sense - thank you!
@@takeoffyourblinkers then why are my bones cracking even more when consuming lemon water and acv?
@@TheJimmyswe150
Well by all means drop your stomach acid then. See how that goes for you.
Dr Berg knows nothing.
Have you considered why they have had that reaction?
Have you watched Dr Bergs videos on how this can happen?"?
Dude, if your body is aching more because of lemon juice you need way more help than a YT video is going to give you.
@@takeoffyourblinkers yeah that's why I'm asking you why is by bones achy from lemons and acv?
hi Dr Berg
i have unusual tingling in my head, itching - i use eucalyptus, tea tree oil but as if a bug is crawling inside my head - i do have psoriasis too - do get severe headaches once in a month
Have twitching in my tricep. Found this vid right away. I eat once a day but lately take some baking soda in water first thing in the morning. Could be the cause. Only started twitching yesterday. Never really had it happen before. Too alkaline?
Most water filters don't filter out fluoride, unfortunately.
Can you please make a video on water filtration systems choice video since most now days make water alkaline is it good or not. Thank you
When our family gets these type twitches, we take extra magnesium. That takes care of the problem for us..,
B Clark what kind of Magnesium?
It barely helps me!
