[@firhaadismail8509]

Hi Brad, This comment pertains to Bob. I am aware that Bob has been advised that he has Cerebellar ataxia with speech impairment, which according to your joint video presentation a few months ago was attributed to a genetic basis based on expert opinions. While neurology is not my specialty, during the course of my medical residency and traing we saw cases of cerebellar disease presenting as Wernicke's encephalopathy due to severe thiamine ( Vitamin B1 ) deficiency. With high doses of Vitamin B1 patient's neurological symptoms would improve over time. I know that Bob had mentioned that he was evaluated at the Mayo clinic and I am confident that all possible etiologies were explored and excluded prior to attributing this to a genetic basis. In fact while I was specializing in my field, a co-resident specialized in neurology and was appointed later as a senior neurologist at Mayo. The postive therapetic response to Vitamin B1 in high doses has been well documented in the literature in those afflicted with Wernicke's. The fact that high dose Vitamin B1 therapy is a relatively benign form of treatment, some neurologists may consider a therapeutic trial and monitor the response. I know that if Bob was my brother, I would accompany him with his appointment to his neurologist and implore the neurologist to commence a therapeutic trial of high dose Vitamin B1. There is not much to lose and potentially a great deal to gain. Wishing Bob the best. I enjoy your presentations and often recommend your educational videos to my patients who are embarking on physical therapy for various conditions. Thanks for all you guys do !

I send this opinion and I’m not an md but it would definitely be something I would try. High doses thiamine is doing amazing things for people right now!

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for sharing!

[@valerie9791]

What’s a high dosage? Or can I google it? I would love to try it for my Mom and my husband..

[@pdel303]

This was great. Thx Bob/Brad/Mike!

[@BobandBrad]

Glad you liked it!

[@nancybarta8167]

I wish you guys would make a 20 minute compilation of the best exercises for a daily routine! I would work out with it daily!I have an eliptical( bought the floor model at Sears years ago.....great price!).I also have the mini peddler.

[@BobandBrad]

I will add this to our to do list!

It isn't an exercise, but if you put your feet up against a wall while you are laying in bed for about fifteen minutes immediately before going to sleep it allows the blood to drain down into the body and circulate while you sleep. Take 15 minutes to read a book and, in my case made a world of difference in my leg pain.

[@joseenoel8093]

The reason for this is because you're helping your blood go through your heart cuz it's lower, it takes 6 mins for your bods whole blood to he filtered through your kidneys, make them healthier, after 50 they won't work as well, watch your salt intake, it's hidden everywhere, a grain over's gonna marinate/toughen you up like deli meat 🍖, I'm sure of it! ❤

[@planetguantanamo]

I do this every night and fall asleep faster!👏

[@LetThoseOatsRoll]

[@staceylily561]

It’s an exercise in restorative yoga practice. It’s great!

I have chronic venous insufficiently (CVI) and think I read most exercise that does not cause high blood pressure spikes would help - e.g. steady aerobics, high rep resistance training, keep moving, etc... Avoid things like running, heavy weight training, isometrics e.g plank. Is this correct ?

[@lotus4276]

Good information 👍

This is something I do any time I'm sitting, pumping my feet. It does work. I even do it under the seat when I'm on an airplane. As well as wearing compression socks when I fly somewhere. It makes a difference. Thanks guys! 😊❤

What is the name of that second machine ? Oh I found it but couldn't you use two paper plates as well to slide and glide on the carpet ?

[@BobandBrad]

You can use different things, yes

[@mudwiser1391]

Hey boys, quick question... We recently bought a vibration plate... do they work well for circulation? I walk between 5 and 8 miles a day and got terrific results as far as losing weight loss, but even still I find the pins and needles in my lower legs and cold feet. Also I sleep on an adjustable mattress and base. This vibration plate seems very durable and feels great (kinda feel like a can of paint being shaken lol) Is their science behind it, does it really help?

[@BobandBrad]

It has been studied to increase blood flow

[@davidevans3498]

Would jogging, gentle bouncing, stepping, gentle star jumps, etc... on a rebounder help circulation or cause futher harm to damaged leg veins? Thanks

[@mikehughes6582]

Which do you recommend, upright or recumbent stationary biking?

[@KJSvitko]

Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ebikes make hills easy. Anyone in good enough shape to ride a bicycle should consider using one for short distance travel. Using it regularly is good exercise and it will put a smile on your face. Using it while you are still healthy and strong enough might help delay any age related muscle weakness and keep you active as you age.

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for sharing!

[@susievidal4134]

I bought a Cubi it's small and first fine in my small apartment for cycling while I'm sitting but I've been dealing with hip bursitis so it's hard to do any exercise that doesn't flare it up and I do chair yoga on good days can't do any squats too painful for my knees

@@Alicia-tg8ei Yes Seriously. Seems you are somehow thinking I am speaking negatively about the content. I did not say that. The content is great. I am talking about the entertainment value and feel good fun vibes the channel use to have way back. I have been a subscriber for a long time. I miss the quips and jokes and foolery. This is my feedback and opinion I am sharing with the team. There is no social injustice happening here for you to white knight. 👍

[@maigallop]

My favorite piece of exercise equipment is a rebounder, I’m 62 and I purchased one for my 80+ yo stepmom. They are great for circulation and lymphatic buildup in the legs. Great for improving balance and even building muscle. There is even benefits to sitting on it and bouncing. Also, great weight bearing exercise for keeping bones strong. Oh, and did I mention it’s fun.

I'm on leg circulation hollistic med, chesnut and crushed grapeseed, watching not to x 'em and keep 'em a bit bent lying down, I've always had cold feet (yes yes very funny) but never thought it was from poor circulation, it was, as a baby Mom could never dress them, make them warm enough and hubby's useless at letting me warm them up on his back, pussy!
