How To Start High-Dose Thiamine (Vitamin B1)

[@triciareed]

Important to note: B1 increases demand for B2, but adding B2 may not do anything if there is an underlying iodine, selenium, and/or molybdenum deficiency. As most are iodine deficient and unaware of it, adding iodine-iodide such as Iodoral can be extremely helpful. Very important to check into this, as iodine (as well as selenium and molybdenum) is necessary to activate B2. A B1 therapy "crash" can be avoided or fixed by having enough of these other important cofactors.

OMG! I just found this channel and started looking into it recently. I had what I could only imagine was fibromyalgia (never DX) but had pain EVERYWHERE didn't even want to wake up and get out of bed most days, and had brain fog and fatigue. Started eating No Sugar No Grain and taking the recommended brand B vitamin (thiamine), magnesium-threonate, and normal vitamin D and most of the pain went away. Went from a constant 7-8/10 to an intermittent 2-3/10, disk issues are there but don't prevent me from living. Now I feel like I'm in my 20's. There are channels that are good and then there are channels that are a public service, this is the latter. This is the place to start for those who are looking for answers and don't want to get caught in the prescription drug cycle!

@@Juznik1389 carbohydrates are the body's preferred energy source, ketones don't work as effectively. Carbohydrates also lower cortisol, the body's stress hormone (as does magnesium and B12) Ditching carbs is a bad idea as long as you're not getting all your carbs from junk food. What's a better idea instead is to make sure you have all the right minerals and enough glycine to properly metabolise and use sugar properly. Sugar metabolism needs enough copper, magnesium, chromium, zinc, and sunshine. Glycine is made internally at 3g but a study found 15 g is needed if recycling glycine properly and possibly as high as 36 if not recycling it well. The average person gets 3-5g in their diet leaving everyone with a shortage of 7-9 grams and worse if poor recycler or bad genes that are preventing internally making of glycine by the body. You can either get extra glycine from bone broth, jello, or gelatin supp or just get some glycine powder. Not a doc. As always use caution and do own research

Yet here I am STRONGLY considering using this guys protocol in the video, something I have known about for around 3-4 years now or so. Makes me wonder if I will get lucky on this one. Strange world we all live in let me add. I can imagine SOME of you may be clueing in a little bit about how this works, after all Linus was BRILLIANT at one time, his FOUNDATION he left also is very favorable towards megadosing big pharmas B1. Yet they still have zero clue about how Linus killed both himself and wife, and doctor on his advice (with cancer). They STILL promote his absolutely deathly rich industrialist mindset that is ENSCONCED in megadosing a horrible made in a lab chemical like made from GMO corn vitamin C. Also I CLAIM THIS CLEARLY knowing what is contained in the CLINICAL GUIDE TO THE USE OF VITAMIN C by Dr. Klenner. I know it can be used to save lives according to that manual. Yet still what I have claimed very CLEARLY by connecting all the dots I have about Linus, and crew dying from cancer from the same POT of ideas STANDS.

I've had severe fibromyalgia for 37 years and really appreciate how you call it what it really seems to be, dysautonomia. Before seeing your videos and due to neuropathy, I have been taking 150 mgs. Benfotiamine for several years with no change. I recently raised it to 600 mgs. and it helped my neuropathy some. I raised it to 1,200 mgs. and that is helping the depression, and I would do just about anything to ease that, since it is far worse than my worst physical symptoms. The problem is that my neuropathy was originally caused by B6 toxicity from taking a B50 complex that was prescribed for me. B6 does build up in the body, unlike the other B vitamins, and I have been told by the neurologist to never, ever take more than the RDA of B6 again. She told me she wished she had a dollar for every case of B6 poisoning she'd treated that year! It took a year of severe insomnia and other symptoms for the pain to even become bearable, and I am afraid to take B complex again, but realize I cannot continue to take such high doses of thiamine without taking the whole B complex also. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, what did you do to handle it?

[@opopopop6286]

I have been writing in these forums for years about something I just did again here. Very little knowledge on any of these topics I have asked for has been forthcoming...instead all I basically got was attacking and disbelieved. I wish you well in seeking your answers for this question. I am quite sure that you will do better than I have in the past. Hopefully now that I have put a new POST above under the video I can get some more data to assist in making good choices. Basically it IS SIMILAR to your request in that it is casting suspicion on many of BIG PHARMAS practices, highlighting in specific how megadosing something like artificial vitamin C (often made from GMO corn now) caused the demise of the first THREE practitioners of such from cancer which were Linus Pauling, his wife, and their GP doctor. Of coarse the foundation of the same name (Pauling Inst.) claims that megadosing C & B1 are beneficial. If someone wants to state that clearing away a common cold in the short term is worth dying from snowballing massive cancer formations as per the usual, I would state DO MORE RESEARCH about long term effects obviously. You should start with the deaths of the first THREE adherents. So the FACT that big pharma has a lot to answer for in the deaths of these three is clear...yet ON THE OTHER SIDE of the coin there is also something known as THE CLINICAL GUIDE TO THE USE OF VITAMIN C, a short free online book written by a Dr. Klenner basically. In that manual you can learn how to SAVE lives with big pharmas artificial vitamin C made in a lab. So remember I know BOTH sides of this situation...I doubt that the wonderful doctor in the video above who seems to be so super helpful to others even knows HALF of one of the sides...that is where I am at now...yet I am SLIGHTLY desperate, so NUTTY as I am I am even considering taking a chance on high B1...yet there is a part of me that it just rubs the wrong way...like there has to be some kind of long term desasterous thing this more or less white coat in the video (oenutition) is promoting IMO...believe me I wish it were otherwise! Honestly world is garbage enuf with all the nonsense, how about just this once we get lucky and the guy in the video is actually doing OTHER than people like Linus pauling was (causing people to die basically in the long term). I really hope for some BENEFIT for everyone here, I honestly do, things could use some GOOD change for us all :)

I took various b complex vitamins not realizing the pyridoxine form of b6 can be harmful but that the form pyridoxal 5 phosphate is safe and shouldn’t cause this issue. I take the Thorne brand which is good quality. Do some research on this type of b6 and see if it is helpful. Take care.

[@meagiesmuse2334]

@@nclibrarian8766- I studied Naturopathy, so I knew to take only the P5P form of B6, but still was not taught that Vit. B6 is not flushed out like other B vitamins, and the Neurologist who diagnosed my B6 poisoning told me. Also, if you have any MTHFR gene mutations it can build up to dangerous levels, along with B9 if it's in folic acid form. I have 2 mutations, and there are 4 of them in total. 60% of people have at least one. People with fibromyalgia seem to have at least 2 of them. The B Complex I was told to take had 50 mgs. of each B vitamin. The Neurologist told me never to take more than the RDA of B6 again, which I believe is about 2 mgs. When I developed neuropathy, I was taking the prescribed brand 3 x daily as prescribed for Lyme, or 150 mgs. of B6 per day. When tested, my B6 level was more than 5 times over the upper end of normal. If I had it to do over, I would try Standard Process, since they use the natural forms in tiny amounts. Now, I use an SL form of B complex which is only a bit above the RDA and I cut them in half. I'm glad the P5P is working for you without issues.

If you are worried about the b6 in b-complex supplements,just buy your other b vitamins separately and don't take any b6. I had a similar situation and I just started buying my b vitamins separately and taking them that way without any b6. Also,the p5p form of b6 can be a safer option as it has less of a chance of becoming toxic.

Sir, you explained Thiamine uses in heart, brain, kidney, liver, gatroinstetine. One more indirect use of thiamine is in skin diseases.

I wonder which foods, preferably relatively convenient ones (little to no preparation) are especially good to have ALONGSIDE (or with) vitamin supplements that recommend to take "with food". For examples: butter, yogurt, goat milk kefir, boiled eggs (made ahead of time, for convenience sake), tablespoon of coconut oil, avocado oil (of high and verified quality), fish oil (supplemental omega 3 fatty acids), are some "quick foods" that come to mind. I know that raw egg whites have some components in it that seriously block / inhibit the absorption or effectiveness of certain B-vitamin-related nutrients (Biotin, or Choline?). Do *cooked* egg whites simply block LESS (?), or does the cooking process fully neutralize the problematic blocking properties? (which could interfere with optimal use of the highly important and pricey supplements). I would appreciate it if anyone could share what they've learned on this general subject. Thanks! I'm wondering if some components in dairy - convenient as it is - might block or inhibit ideal utilization of certain vitamin supplements? But maybe butter or ghee is relatively better? And how much food is good to have them with? A very small portion OK? How about: bone broth (a "liquid food"), with butter on the side? Could that be a good way to take vitamins with food? Or could the *supplements* block (interfere with!) the optimal effectiveness of ingesting the bone broth? I take the latter (drink the bone broth) for hopes of it helping with joint pain, and with rebuilding connective tissue over time.

[@richardk5246]

From what I have gathered it is the avidin in raw egg whites that block the absorption of biotin and cooking destroys the avidin so a cook egg white should not hamper biotin absorption.

I'm seeing a difference in 3 days in my brain fog, lethargy, and lower back pain. So far I have only taken benfotiamine. I ordered the thiamax TTFD.

[@SalehSaud-qf9wt]

I had been taking benfotiamine for three years in a row. I remember when i started with high dose , 250mg × 4 / day , then i continued the rest of time with 250mg / day . I had undefined neuropathy medical problem , Numbness, tingling and muscle pain with no obvious reason. Finally , my all symptoms decreased to 10% max . Until 2 weeks ago ,i took the antibiotics: 5 tabs of Flagyl + one tab of SEPROFLAXOCINE . All symptoms came back all over again. The secret behind this is my last benfotiamine dose was in the last month . I thought i don't need to order it any more . Last Wednesday i received my new order of benfotiamine... it's 150mg/ tab ... i took 750mg withen first 28 hours... i was wrong ... my body responded to this high sudden dose by migraine, severe Numbness, tingling and muscle pain, i felt i'm burning a live .But It slowed down after 24 hours ......now i don't know what to do ?

I watched several of your videos where you said a high dose of b1 1500-1800 msg is recommended. In this video you say to start with 10 mgs a day and adjust up from there so I’m confused. Two questions 1. How much do I increase daily ? 2.Should you take a break from b1 periodically and if so how long? Thank you, I appreciate your work!

[@EONutrition]

As i explain, the average effective dose is what you said. That is not the dose you start with... You start low, and increase incrementally. How much depends on each person, it might be 50mg, it might be 100mg, or it might be 5 mg. No need to take breaks

Our daughter (suffered metronidazole induced thiamine deficency) did great on 600mg thiamine hcl and just had a relapse (A stressful month plus she gave.plasma). Worked her way up to 900hcl and not seeing relief (ataxia and anxiety) so yesterday started 50mg lipothiane and saw marked benefit, no shaking or stuttering. She also took a thiamin hcl before bed. Slept great. Woke up a little fast heart beat and took one thiamine hcl. She does.want to sleep a lot, but she has been through a lot this past week. All that to say, is it to soon to give her two.doses.of lipothiamine 50mg, like at 8 a.m..and.8 p.m.? Its only the second day.

START LOW AND GO SLOW I am very impatient and ignored that advice 🙈 Started off on HC B1 first day 200mg next day 400mg then after a week purchased Benfotiamine 500mg and started on that once a day. Added magnesium , multi B, Increased anxiety and heart racing. Fight or flight through the roof. I re read the information and realised that I needed to stop for a week, let my body settle down and then re start at a lower dose. Please don’t rush! It’s not worth it.

[@blaedy]

I've had a quite bad and extreme experience with B1.. on the first day I took 150mg Benfotiamine and on the second day only 50mg but alongside with 15mg Escitaloprame I sadly have to take due to anxiety problems for about 4 years now.. on the first day I felt like being on drugs, I was so damn awake and I was extremely sensitive for touching something or feeling in general. On the second day I got shivers, blood pressure problems, extreme anxiety, rapid heartbeat, total different reception of my sorroundings regarding hearing and seeing.. I immediately stopped and those symptoms were there for about 5 days also including EXTREME fatigue.. I thought it somehow caused a serotonine syndrom together with my antidepressant which are ssri.. but now seeing your video is that even possible? I mean I did my homework and I found NO evidence of it interacting with my pills at all.. the sad thing is I took the B1 for a reason.. I am suffering from many symptoms that can be caused by B1 deficiency, I am convinced that my body lacks B1 but at the same time I am immensely afraid to take any form of B1 now.. kind of a fd up situation.. at first it made me feel ecstatic and good but that turned around for me to land in the ER where they didn't even take me serious 🥲 due to B1 being water soluable (they clearly never heard of Benfotiamine)

[@andreiradu7851]

Look up the book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition. What probably happened(not for sure) was a paradoxical reaction. When you are severely deficient you may have a sort of refeeding syndrome, which can last up to a month depending on the severity. For me it lasted around 3 weeks of quite severe physical and mental symptoms(all of them were more severe versions of what I was already dealing with as a part of the b1 deficiency, which gradually got lighter and lighter over time, finally being replaced with way more energy, calmness and just general wellbeing)

Thank you for this video…I was looking for the amount of Thiamax to take compared to Benfotiamine, and now I have an idea. It would be nice to not have to consume 8-10 capsules of Befotiamine when I could take maybe 2 Thiamax..or a few more. 😊 Benfotiamine has taken away a lot of non-diabetic peripheral neuropathy…decreased fatigue, increased HCL in stomach, and a general feeling of wellness while I am on Benfotiamine.

Hi Elliott. Whit the clinical notes , there's an error under niacin and nutritional interaction it says the same thing as what is said about riboflavin (B2) it does not say anything about Niacin interaction.

I have been on the TTFD now for one month . I started with 50 than 100 then 150 and I am now on 200 . Have not seen any ill effects as I already have so much all over muscle and joint pain as it is . My goal is to increase to 500 and keep on that dose for some time until I see results . If anyone knows of higher doses that we can go with this form of thiamine , please let me know !

[@janelprince6400]

One thing I have noticed at the 250 TTFD dose is that before when I took a deep breath and my forearms and hands would tingle as if it was hard for oxygen to get to my extremities. Now if I take a deep breath I don’t have that feeling ! So progress in nerve issues I believe .

Started with 1/4 of a 250mg hcl pill. Was plenty to start with, especially since EXTREME sensitivity to everything is one of the main reasons I’m taking this.

@@EONutrition Thanks Elliot. I am taking Intravenous (IV) Thiamine HCL 300mg/day because I heard Dr. Chandler Marrs say in your interview that it might be better that TTFD for absorbtion so I decided to stick with the Intravenous Thiamine HCL. HOWEVER, with the TTFD you’ve said that some people need up to 2000mg a day. I have GASTROPARESIS So do you think that 300mg of Intravenous Thiamine HCL would be equivalent to the 2000mg of TTFD?? I also have Candida so do you think that might stop the absorbtion of Thiamine?

@@jocelynvasquez4260 The 2000mg was referring to HCL orally. For TTFD, it is usually much less (220-500mg). For IV thiamine HCL, also much less, probably a similar dose to what you are having now. That said, I ahve no experience with IM/IV thiamine
