Actual Genetics Behind Thiamine Deficiency Revealed

[@brakeme1]

This would be the way to go rather than blindly megadosing thiamine as recommended on other channels. The owner of 23 and me is all about individualized health care. It’s the future. Docs like Dr T. And the specialists at Southwest Integrative look at the whole picture…common sense…not so common.

The subject clinical issues of Thiamine deficiency is more common and countries with fortified supplements are at an advantage compared to other nations where a healthy meal itself is rare. Still, world wide the deficiency is common with most cases not being diagnosed as the symptoms are correlated with other issues for which unnecessary drugs are being prescribed. Good video Sir.

[@swintegrative]

Yes for sure and thanks for sharing. I have more videos coming on this topic as I think it is often overlooked.

Can you do a video on chronic insomnia please!? A few years after leaving the military I developed the inability to sleep without sleeping tablets now I’ve been hooked on them for years and still can’t sleep properly taking ages to get off and waking 2 or 3 or 4 times per night

[@swintegrative]

Noted. Yes will definitely consider it.

[@counterbalancelife4305]

He may, he may not. Don't lose sleep over it.

I recently got 23 and me because of a family member's illness. This video popped up because I have researched Thiamine in the past. I have a bad reaction to all supplement forms. It knocks me out like a bad hangover and I do not drink. I also get food comas almost daily. I checked my raw data hand have variants and double variants at many SLC19A3 and TPK1 markers. Should I look into the tests that you mentioned?

Let me correct my prior statement made below. When thiamine is supplemented, Dr. Lonsdale states that it may increase the demand for other nutrients. If they are in short supply, then this demand may cause them to become insufficient in supply thus causing additional symptoms as explained below.

@@nazsierene I tried 1 small capsule a day and was so amazed at the ability to do more mental work and also energy for daily chores, then crashed on 4rth day. Dr L doesn mention try B1 with a multi and with magnesium. I found needed more B2 as well.

I came in to the ER after an acute onset of symptoms for the third time since 2021. I have had most symptoms of wet/dry beriberi and wernickes, with a gradual, but never complete remission between relapses. Last time it happened was 3 weeks ago. I asked them to test my lactate. I had high levels of ketons in the urine without being diabetic and while eating normally. But they refused. The doctor had never heard of beriberi?! I assume they only look for thiamine deficiency in alcoholics and anorexic people. Now I have neuropathies all over the body. My GP says they only do testing at the hospital. I ordered B1 vials for self injection from germany. But I don't wanna do all this on my own. After the first episode in 2021 my ME specialist put me on B12 injections without really doing any proper testing for B12 deficiency. My GP ordered an MRI of my brain that I will have in a week. But I would prefer just having my lactate levels measured. I don't think the MRI can reveal a passed wernickes encepholopathy? Also I can't be certain it's B1 deficiency. But I hate the fact that no one even want to test me for things that would indicate it.

[@swintegrative]

Sounds like a frustrating and tricky situation. I think k there are lactate testing devices for home use. Never used them but had a patient that had.

Thank you very much Doc! GREATLY appreciated your contribution to humanity, Bless upon You !...

[@swintegrative]

So nice of you

Great information, thank you. New subscriber.

[@swintegrative]

Awesome, thank you!

[@1aliveandwell]

Thanks for this video topic. Where to find more on possible genetic helps with this area? Recall reading in "Breaking the viscious cycle " that some bacteria can eat thiamine or create an thiamase enzyme ! Biotin also seems to help me and have some snps that might not be helpful. 23andme results wonder if can translate to info on Snpedia (SLC19A3 i5006224 C / C ), Am guessing 1 snp out of whole gene doent make a bad thing happen. Thanks for the info !!

Thiamine deficiency is also linked to the Leber Optic LHON

Hello doctor, I got tonsils infection three months ago, the doctor gave me three injections with antibiotics and gave me some tablets, after that I started having soft diarrhea problem, only soft stools three to four times a day, but no stomach pain when I went to go the doctor for this problem. When I went, he said it was an intestinal infection and he gave antibiotics again. I have more problems start than before belly one side pain gas If I take vitamin a pill, it will be fine temporarily, but when I stopped, it will start again, what should I do now? This ibs doctor?

[@swintegrative]

Yes it could be ibs or post infectious IBS but hard to tell from such limited info. . You might want to check you my other videos on this topic or join the membership to get more detailed information from me. Also I made a course on digestive issues and post infectious IBS topic discover-holistic-health-academy.thinkific.com/courses/getting-past-post-infectious-ibs
