Hi. What's the highdose range for thiamine/benfothiamine?

[@giabawa6857]

What Elliot is saying 100% right… I have chronic digestive issues, recently (6-7 weeks ago) started loosing appetite which led to sudden weight loss.. went to see GI doctor who suggested let’s do another second colonoscopy and endoscopy which is lierally within 13 months since I first diagnosed.. this video was god sent for me… I followed the advice provided in this video… it was my 4th regular dose of 250gm Thiamine, Magensium with B6 and B complex( not a mega dose), with tiny ginger in my meals.. I was hungry on 5th day and started recovering… doctors have no clue they just want to put their gadgets and medicines in your body without understanding your underlying issues! Thank you

Thank you for tipping me off to this, Elliot. I began the high dose thiamine about a year ago and my life has changed. I've suffered from CONSTANT tiny muscle spasms (I describe them as vibrations) for decades. It's not like the classic (dramatic) Charlie Horse. The muscles will just keep 'shivering' for hours and hours. It's like a workout and lactic acid builds up, but I never get time for a recovery. The thiamine works where nothing any doctor has prescribed has. I'm able to fall asleep much easier without being tortured for hours before I'm so exhausted I fall asleep despite the pain. Now, it's just gone. If I miss a day or two, the shakes come back. I take 2000 mg every single day, sometimes twice a day. I introduced my daughter to thiamine and had to nag her for months before she became desperate enough to try it, and boom. Now she's just as devoted to her daily dose as I am. She's told her friends about it and the results are amazing. One older lady she's friends with is an alcoholic and this vitamin saved her. Two others have other chronic illnesses and they describe high dose thiamine as a miracle. No, it doesn't 'cure' everything, but it makes SUCH a difference that it's worth sticking with. If it weren't for you, I'd still be suffering to this day. And so would many other people. I deeply appreciate your devotion to understanding human health.

This is so true! Doctors don't routinely check vitamin levels and they have a great deal to do with our health! If you have any type of immune condition it will often keep your vitamins depleted. There are thousands of people needlessly suffering and paying thousands to doctors when they just need to know their vitamin levels, and various vitamins affect many systems in the body. Doctors need to take massive nutrition courses along with their other studies in order to properly treat people. For many people this is an easy fix, but the health industry is reluctant, why is this...could it be $$$$?

My functional doctor did mention circulation and vagus nerve issue, but none have been able to connect all the issues together. I was so hopeless because I’ve never had any health problems my entire life and I hit 40 and all this stuff started happening. I kept being told “it’s due to stress”.

Been through multiple biopsies and investigations, Spend thousands of pounds on trying to fix this but not knowing what it was. Doctors wanted to put me on cancer drugs to suppress my immune system but I just KNEW I could find another way. This has been the missing link- took my first high dose thiamine yesterday morning and I’m about 80% better already. It’s insane.

“Leaky gut” often is low glutamine levels due to chronic stress and illness. The body will prioritize using glutamine for stress hormones and neurotransmitters, and that leaves not enough for intestinal repair. Glutamine is the main amino acid in the production of smooth muscles cells in the guy. So the body cannot repair itself. Glutamine becomes conditionally essential in times of stress or some people end up with “leaky gut”

I needed much more than that after a recent setback. With Glutamine, I have added Artemisinin, Butyrate, and Saccharomyces Boulardii. I think I will add Thaimine also.

I am experiencing paradoxical reactions even with a low dosage of 25 mg of benfotiamine, as all my reflux symptoms reappear. Could this indicate a significant depletion of thiamine in my system?

[@bbsaid218]

My sudden onset peripheral neuropathy symptoms were…chilblains with ulcers, Raynauds syndrome in my fingers (but not thumbs), double resting pulse rate, profuse sweating under arms and groin due to core heat not being dissipated efficiently, serious brain fog, blue nose and ears, very low tolerance to cold. My doctor was absolutely clueless, said “just one of those things that happen “ 😳. Had to do my own research. I took benfotiamine and alpha lipoic acid…this was before I heard of TTFD. Benfotiamine almost cured my symptoms…80%.. now Raynauds is only triggered in extreme cold, all other symptoms are virtually gone. Just my right middle finger often feels cold. It took about 6 months to recover to 80%. If your diet consists of mainly processed foods, you can pretty much guarantee you are thiamine deficient.

@@Matt-fq6ly the thiamine added to processed foods are poorly absorbed by the body. It is usually thiamine mono nitrate or thiamine hydrochloride, which have a maximum absorption rate of about 5% in a healthy person, less if they have gut issues. Also eating a processed food diet is more likely to cause gut and absorption problems in the first place, such as reflux, acidity issues affecting the absorption of other vitamins and minerals, and the use of artificial vitamins and minerals that the body can’t use.

I have a very specific B1 story. A few years ago I was exposed to flea and tick poison accidentally while putting a new flea and tick collar on my dog. I had a very small cut on the tip of my index finger and the poison made it's way into my body. The next day my hand was starting to feel numb, and this numbness worked its way up my arm, face, and right side, and both feet over several days. I had convinced myself that I was going to go to the doctor if I didn't feel better in the morning. The next morning the problem began to recede. I probably should have seen a poison specialist but I decided not to. Over the next week or so the feeling returned, but I had some burning and tingling, and also some feeling of weakness on my right side. Sometimes my right foot hurt in a strange way, especially when walking. Over a year or so, the problem got a little better but never really went away. Then I was researching Thiamine (I've been into nutrition for a few years now) and more specifically I read about sulbutiamine, that it is good for treating neuropathic issues. I ordered a bottle of this and megadosed for a few days. The problem resolved! I decided to reduce the dose to twice the recommended amount. Now it has been a couple of years and I have been doing well. I take the sulbutiamine every day. I also have a friend who recently came down with Bells Palsy shortly after getting the covid vaccine. I gave her a bottle of sulbutiamine and told her to take a double dose for a week and then the recommended dose after. She came up to me in church a couple of weeks later and thanked me. She told me that the Bells Palsy resolved quickly after taking the sulbutiamine. It really is amazing, and very encouraging to see that we can help each other in this way. It's worth adding that I don't take the sulbutiamine by itself which would probably be a bad idea long term. I also take a high quality B complex, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin A (that's a whole other story), vitamin K2, selenium, bovine thyroid, and other nutritional supplements, and I avoid seed oils and wheat (but I do eat spelt, which is a more traditional non-GMO form of wheat). Anyways, thanks Elliot and God bless you.

I know that my system now has been damaged to the point that is no longer functioning. I have many digestive issues and my brain has not been functioning properly for a long time. I have spent my life savings on trying to get a definitive diagnosis and i think that i can see a lot of the symptoms of what has happened to my body in this broadcast and a few of your others. I have ordered B1 100mg and intend to try the sliw approach to a mega dose. I have nothing to lose. The problem is, how quickly i can get to the megadose? If anyone can chip in here, i would be most grateful.

This is unbelievable. Fluid retention, big time. Alternate day fasting didn’t affect my weight. Brain fog. Slightly depressed. Low energy (I usually needed to be stopped, before !).

although I rushed it, but later regretted as I got severe paradoxical reactions, in form of heart palpitations and anxiety. Go slow, start with 50-100mg of benfotiamine, wait till your symtoms improve, supplement with other nutrients as well. Increase your dose to 200mg, wait for symtoms to get better and repeat it till you get satisfying results. It almost takes a week at a time for symtoms to get better. I used Elliot's protocol to guide myself through that. You may also take small doses of ttfd or sulbutamine for improving thiamine status in brain. Also rule out fatigue due to other reasons, like b6 deficiency. Some people may have polymorphisms where lots of stress or certain medications deplete b6. They can also cause depression/anxiety, pms, histamine intolerance, unstable blood sugars etc. Do your research!

I wake up every morning with lower abdominal pain. I did have trace blood in my urine a few times over the past few years. I had a scan a few years ago when I had a little blood and nothing showed. I sometimes feel like I have been run over, beat up, and have a very heavy feeling when I wake up. I usually feel better later. The most odd thing is, when I go to sleep lately, I feel a sudden panic and at times I feel a sense of doom like I’m about to die. I lay there and cannot relax. Ive had anxiety over the years but not at a specific time. It’s always when I lay down to go to sleep and that’s it. I’ve never had that in my life. Also my ears will ring sometimes as well. It’s all very strange. I took Blue Bonnet B1 for 3 days and noticed during the day after I take it I feel really good and have a light feeling inside for hours. However, I’m still having the panic feeling when I go to bed, and I’m still having a little of the pain in the morning when I wake up. I’m probably dying. Anyway, I don’t know if I should take more of the B1 because with the 1 capsule I feel really good when I take it. I don’t trust regular doctors because they use poisons in my opinion such as chemo for cancer patients. I’ve watched several people I cared about die after putting all their trust in doctors. Anyway it’s really awful.

The hardest thing I’ve recently dealt with are hallucinations. Full on conversations with family who weren’t there! Had awful ones too. I’m getting support now,so fingers crossed there’s light at the end of the tunnel! Sending you best wishes and good luck 👍

I think i developed vagus issues from vaping, severe stress/abuse and poor diet. I passed out, dizzy when standing, blood sugar issues, vertigo, gate issues, low blood pressure, anxiety, paranoia, panic attacks, dizziness, no feeling on my skin, depersonalization, sound sensitive and depression.

Thanks for the video. Great insight about thiamine's role in so many functions that are critical for health. Definitely want to try TTFD now. My only complain is the biohacker guy in white shirt kept interrupting Elliot which was incredibly annoying. It's ok to ask questions or clarify but it seemed like he can't stop talking about himself.

[@brooklyn5756]

I agree, it was amazing information, but the interruptions were unbearable. Many times they happened right when he was building up to a main point. 😐I could listen to Elliot all day! 😊

Took benfotiamine for about 9 days and had to stop bc i got to much energy from it and could not sleep at all and increassed anxiety, and yes i took it at morning with breakfast but still had way to much energy at night. It has been about over a week now without it and i can sleep somewhat again and anxiety is better. Im only taking nutritional yeast for my b1 intake now, it is a special yeast with 700% rdi b1 with 2 tablespoons , im only taking 1 now since it felth like 2 was to much for me.

[@matthewgarland693]

Super curious about this too!

[@efend1661]

If thiamine is the vitamin for good energy, then all metabolic processes that require energy should be related to it, right? So if the body has too little energy, it will use up the little energy available for the most important processes. The remaining processes cannot be tackled or are misdirected. If the body is now given a high dose of thiamine, it starts to activate all the paralyzed processes, which means that the patient can feel very bad at first because detoxification processes are finally starting or diseases are being fought. This can manifest itself in fever etc., depending on which infections have been suppressed in the past. This means that he needs additional support from magnesium, potassium, zinc, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, selenium and I believe iodine is also very important! Also antioxidants, such as OPC! Thiamine is important for the control of the organs via the vagus nerve, for the autonomic and vegetative nervous system. Vitamin C is also important in this context because it protects thiamine from oxidation! I suspect that various systems, such as the glutation system or superoxide desmutase, do not function properly when there is a high energy deficiency, as the little energy is used for the heartbeat, breathing and other things necessary for survival. This is merely my experience and is not generally valid medical advice! It is intended to stimulate reflection and further research.

Get on ketogenic diet, meat heavy or carnivore. The b1 therapy will work much better with these diets. It should help you much more quickly.

[@tianasixkiller4771]

Btw, I had SIBO twice in one year then again just before I started meat heavy keto. I didn’t need to take the antibiotic Xifaxcin to get rid of it. In ten days, I had no more problems. Had GERD as well and had been on Protonix for 3 years at an increased 2 X a day dose. I didn’t need that anymore either. Been almost 5 years and no longer suffering from those things.

Excellent interview! Thank you

[@BlkDonte]

Took benfotiamine twice this past week...ended up in the ER twice. 2nd one raised my heart rate up to 183, faint, sweating, blurred vision, shortness of breath, severe syncope. Thought that was it for me and I was going to pass away in front of my mother. Got admitted into the hospital. They ran all kinds of tests only to find that I was perfectly fine would the exception of my heart enzymes quadrupling from the rate spike which is extremely dangerous but it decreased later which is a good sign. What am I doing wrong? These paradoxical events were the scariest things I've ever experienced. Everything you described I suffer from. Gastroparesis, severe gerd, brain fog from long covid, etc.

[@EONutrition]

what dose benfotiamine?

[@BlkDonte]

@@EONutrition 300mg. sorry for the late response

[@susanbrush758]

In past Ive tried Benfotiamine and 2 other types of B1 & triggers migraines. Got treated for SIBO and have taken B1 Hydrochloride 300mg for 3 weeks and no migraines. But I'm afraid to try the BENFOTIAMINE again and especially after reading what it did to you. How scary for you!! I hope the presenter answers your question Why. It could also be a filler issue or a defective lot and a manufacturer issue. I had a bad lot of doctors choice B Complex where they dumped too much niacin in it and the Amazon reviews showed many others had same symptoms as myself. Update 1 month later: 1st tried 300mg day then 600 mg day and after 1 month on Befotiamine on 900mg day. More migraines but not convinced its directly causal to Benfotiamine. Taking 125mg molybdenum to decrease my Sulphur Intolerance which my theory is why I could never take Thiamine without triggering migraines prior. I feel I may not have fully gotten rid of sibo as Oliver educates SIBO causes Sulphur Intolerance. My question for Oliver is 1) It it a mistake to take Probiotics if have SIBO? Or wait until Sibo treated?

You have to balance B1 with other B vitamins, like B12 and B6.

Now starting on b1(the most basic form) and not seeing results but still getting side affects. Wonder if nmn can fix mitochondria issues as b1, and why is b1 the only thing ppl being talking about when talking about chronic illnesses

[@3ATTR1X]

@@zqflute3676 Mine is stress related and the body holding onto stress, causing high cortisol, when you are in that state the body uses a lot of resources. I stopped taking benfotiamine as it accelerated my HR to resting HR of 110. Even tried micro dosing at 20mg, same reaction. While MNM and NR no issues. Deficiencies can be any of the B family. I got my blood work results, and Bs are all on point. That is something I always ignore and put off going and getting blood tests done rather than chasing signs and symptoms.

Sticking plaster fix, until I can better deal with stress and recover from adrenal burn out.

Thank you so much for all the fantastic and interesting information in this video! Doctors always told me my levels were “just fine”. But actually there may be a deficiency already. Would you say that’s correct? So many of us are trying countless remedies, all in vain. So it might be worth getting deeper into reading vitamin levels correctly and then act upon it.

You may have gotten POTS from Covid. B1 deficiency is 1 of the MANY causes of POTS. So is Lymes & Covid. It's easy to check for POTS at home. Online will have directions

[@ethereal369]

Also, look into Benfotiamine- it's the synthetic form of thiamine (B1). This is the one case where a synthetic form is superior and here's why: Thiamine in the natural form is water soluble, but the myelin sheath surrounding nerve cells is fat soluble, making it difficult for thiamine to enter these cells, resulting in a common B2 Thiamin deficiency. Benfotiamine can easily enter into nerve cells and acts as a precursor to thiamin. It helps tremendously with neuropathy, diabetes and helps increase insulin sensitivity. It's recommended that people take about 600 mg daily, split into 2 doses.
