Has Dr. Berg faced lawsuits or disciplinary measures from medical boards?

1. Documented state board discipline: a Virginia consent order over unsupported clinical claims

The clearest disciplinary record in the provided material is a consent agreement noted and reproduced on Quackwatch that summarizes action by the Virginia Board of Medicine (or the state board overseeing chiropractic practice) in which Dr. Berg agreed to a consent order after being noticed for an informal conference; the findings criticized therapeutic claims he made—such as attributing many conditions to a “synthetic estrogen” and asserting benefit from a treatment called BRT—because he did not provide the clinical tests or reasonable scientific evidence to support those claims ^[1]. That Quackwatch summary quotes the board’s findings and the consent order language ^[1].

2. Consumer and product litigation connected to his companies

Separately from professional-license discipline, Dr. Berg’s commercial entities have been targeted in consumer lawsuits. ClassAction.org reported and hosts the complaint alleging Dr. Berg Nutritionals misrepresented its “Original Keto Electrolytes” as “naturally flavored” despite containing DL malic acid, which the complaint characterizes as an artificial flavoring ^{[2] [4]}. The underlying 22‑page class action complaint is available in the court filing linked by ClassAction.org ^[3]. Those are civil consumer claims about labeling and marketing rather than medical-board disciplinary proceedings ^{[2] [3] [4]}.

3. Customer complaints, reputational critiques, and secondary aggregator reporting

Business-review sites and watchdog or crowd-sourced pages show a broader pattern of consumer complaints and negative evaluations: the Better Business Bureau lists complaints about supplements and claims that advice caused adverse effects or misleading cancer-related guidance ^[5]; Trustpilot contains mixed reviews that also include extreme and unverified allegations in user comments ^[6]. Media-bias and accuracy assessments such as Media Bias/Fact Check criticize Dr. Berg’s factual reliability and note he is a chiropractor, not a medical doctor, and that much of his guidance lacks peer-reviewed support ^[7]. These items indicate reputational and consumer-satisfaction disputes, but they are not formal disciplinary rulings ^{[5] [6] [7]}.

4. What the provided sources do not say — limits of the record here

The assembled search results do not present a comprehensive, up-to-date ledger of every lawsuit or every state board action against Dr. Berg; they focus on the Virginia consent order (as summarized by Quackwatch), consumer class-action litigation against Dr. Berg Nutritionals over product labeling, and various consumer complaints and critiques ^{[1] [2] [3] [5] [4] [6] [7]}. Available sources do not mention a complete timeline of other state licensing actions, settlements, or any criminal cases—if such exist, they are not found in current reporting provided here (not found in current reporting).

5. How to interpret disciplinary vs. civil claims — competing perspectives

Board disciplinary actions (like the Virginia consent order) are regulatory findings addressing professional conduct or unsupported clinical claims and can affect licensing; Quackwatch’s reproduction of the consent order highlights the board’s conclusion that therapeutic claims lacked reasonable scientific evidence ^[1]. Civil class actions and consumer complaints (the DL malic acid labeling suit and BBB/Trustpilot complaints) are private claims about marketing and product safety or returns and do not by themselves prove regulatory violations; ClassAction.org and the complaint document the plaintiffs’ allegations about labeling as opposed to a regulatory penalty ^{[2] [3] [4]}. Critics (e.g., Media Bias/Fact Check and RationalWiki) interpret this mix as evidence of misleading or unsupported health claims, while company defenders often frame disputes as isolated or commercial in nature; those interpretive views are reflected in the cited sources ^{[7] [8]}.

6. Practical next steps if you need a definitive status

If you need a current, authoritative record of any disciplinary measures against Dr. Berg, consult state licensing boards and their public disciplinary databases (Medical Board of California, state chiropractic boards, etc.) or the court dockets for litigation records; the Medical Board of California and other state boards publish discipline notices and procedures on their sites ^{[9] [10]}. The sources here point to specific documents (Virginia consent order via Quackwatch and the class-action complaint via ClassAction.org) that can be read directly for detail ^{[1] [3]}.
