It angers me that people are given toxic drugs and ECT when the vitamin deficiencies/imbalances go undiagnosed in the majority of cases. My Father was a prime example of this, he was lead to believe the lie that he was beyond fixing, he began to drink heavily which further diminished his B's, he took his life as a result.

[@seekersees693]

That's because they want them on the drugs. As you use them, you become sicker and sometimes dependent. They continue to bank profit while you continue to get worse. The system is setup to slow kill. I speak from experience as I was at one point taking hundreds a prescription pills every month due to everything that happened to me while in the military. I got healthier when I got off and started to eat right. When I say eat right, I mean real food that I grow and I get real raw meats, eggs, milk, butter, honey, and more from my neighbors. I was in a state of depression for many years along with other issues. Everyone I know who takes prescription drugs slowly go downhill. I stopped it and slowly worked my way back up.

After starting with b1 benfotiamin i literally could tell when my dosage went to low again because my MOOD switched instantly. This was so crazy to see, angry, frustrated, could not focus on the thing i am working on etc.. went to the kitchen, took one pill and BAM, could feel how the weight was lifted and i felt normal again.

I’m really happy that this information is out there. I was diagnosed with MS in January of 2020 after the entire right side of my body went numb. My neurologist said I had very low b12 levels and I went in for a b12 shot once a month from that point onward. I was going through a difficult time and couldn’t continue to go every month in 2022, by August of that year I was plummeting into a deep depression. I didn’t know what was causing it. I had severe suicidal ideation and low energy. My psychiatrist increased my dosage of Cymbalta but it really didn’t help that much. Something clicked when I realized the only change was that I stopped going to get my b12 shots. Now that I’ve started again I feel like myself again. It was an uphill battle that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. If your doctors check your blood, please have them check your B vitamin levels. They don’t always do that so you must be your own advocate.

Those foods also happen to be high in other b-vitamins.

Although most people tend to be under methylated an important side note that wasn't covered is that for those of us who have a tendency to be over methylated taking B12 and folate can make matters worse. Taking B3 in the form of nicotinic acid which is just regular flushing niacin can be extremely effective in dealing with the effects of over methylation. By taking 100mg every 10 ten minutes on an empty stomach until flushing begins which is a redness/tingling/burning sensation you can get a sense of how over methylated you are if at all. If you flush lightly on 100mg then you're about normal; if you experience an intense flush on 100mg then you're probably under methylated; if it takes 200mg or more to cause flushing then you may be over methylated which can have surprisingly powerful psychological effects ranging from depression to bouts of intense anger to schizophrenia. People who have a tendency to be over methylated can use nicotinic acid to purge excess methyl donors and bring neurotransmitter production down towards normal levels.

I knew it was useless to explain to my doctor that I’d tried to take even crumbs of folate for years and couldn’t manage the intense symptoms (I was debilitatingly ill as a result of my metabolism tanking due to various issues, one being malabsorption syndrome). So I had to find a way. Despite having normal magnesium blood serum readings, turns out my cells weren’t getting the magnesium they needed but I couldn’t take magnesium either. Then, I discover magnesium glycinate and that I could handle it. Once I started taking that I could take high doses of folate (of course, I threw out the prescription for folic acid because of the MTHFR mutation) and rid myself of the anaemia.

Honestly, by your writing and what you are saying, you sound like you have an anxiety disorder that is causing depression. It's called a comorbidity. I have bipolar disorder. I treat it with medications AND nutrition...and most importantly...QUALITY sleep. It must be high quality sleep. Anxiety disorders and depression have a causal relationship with sleep. If you intentionally increase a person's REM cycles, they get depressed. Onset of mental illness (brain disorder) of any type is almost always preceeded by sleep disruptions. Clinical depression IS marked by hopelessness. You can't see beauty anymore.. pain envelops you. But anxiety disorders are more mixed in emotions from day to day, with and underlying feeling of depression and helplessness. Depression is both a symptom AND a disorder itself. Most brain disorders overlap. Bipolar has anxiety, depression, mania, hypomania. Clinical depression is almost always paired with anxiety and vice versa. Psychiatrists aren't very good in some areas. Shop around and never go by who you like...go by who gets results. But find someone to get a good diagnosis so you can effectively deal with it like I do. It's totally doable.

I had a few problems: mold toxicity, and Candida overgrowth. My doctor said I tested positive for a latent lime disease and the other doctor said Epstein-Barr and Candida overgrowth. My stiffness, depression and other symptoms were horrible. As I was killing off the mold, I found out that the die off causes oxalate overload. On top of that I was also eating a ton of oxlets and not realizing what was going on... When I went on the oxalate diet and started cleansing the mold with activated charcoal and also fixing the candida overload. I started feeling tons better. You have to make sure you're taking potassium magnesium and eating plenty of fermented foods and dairy foods to help with the oxalates as they do bind with calcium and potassium. I feel so much better since then

I’ve heard that calcium binds to the oxalates outside the body and inside. I believe that is why many cultures include cream with vegetables dishes.

Avoid veg by going on a carnivore diet for a few weeks to rid your body of oxalates.

Weirdly enough excersise that induced sweating preformed at least 30 mins longer the better would alleviate the severity of it for a time. The sweat stunk so bad thou. Sauna on its own did nothing to alleviate. I couldn't think of even simple things because my brain hurt to even try to pick out clothes to wear. I felt nauseous and so tired so exercises were extremely hard to do . Once sweating began thou my energy strengthened the inflammation reduced and the nausea improved. If I didn't exercise to the point of sweating long enough it made it worse.

I was also very depressed and then started hearing voices and seeing shadows run by me. I have never experienced this before, and i am very aware of my body, so I know something was causing it.

I had the same issue! I had latent Lyme disease, they said Epstein-Barr and a candida overgrowth. But I also found out that the mold toxicity was really bad and causing all kinds of issues. I found the mold toxicity when you get this under control contains a lot of oxalates which caused an oxalate overload causing A lot of joint stiffness and severe heart pain along with dizziness and fever. I thought it was going to die. On top of this I had Candida overgrowth which I think was exacterated by the mold. Once I controlled the mold by doing red light therapy and activated charcoal daily and then controlled the Candida. My depression seemed to clear up almost overnight. Also found that oxalate overload was a big big issue. And that mold carries heavy oxalates when they die off. Started a little oxalate diet. Feeling pretty good!

I just learned this myself a few weeks ago, doctors then only wanted to make sure I took no vitamins and didn't care about my nutrition other than recommending I try hard to eat the standard american diet and shun animal protein and fat. It is great to once again have the ability to improve myself instead of declining rapidly. "I can't I can't" really does describe the deficiency for B1, I just couldn't do much without a lot of effort, and the results of the effort was unimpressive. Now I need to better learn how to put my energy to best use. Thank you for sharing your work

You are right I was suffering from suicidal thoughts from extreme low vitamin b12 now it s right on track now I am feeling good

[@lawrencerasmus]

The type of B12 makes a big difference

[@CikisHelyzet]

Please elaborate and advise TY

[@heythave]

He meant supplements come in different forms. Just julienne some beef liver and stir fry with soy/oyster sauce and thinly sliced ginger and you will have your vitamin Bs. Or go to Japanese yakatori restaurant and get a skewer of chicken liver along with everything else. Or get a Bahn Mi sandwich with pate although this pate may contain sodium nitrite which is a carcinogen. Trader’s Joe sells a pate that doesn’t contain sodium nitrite.

ALA take with food

This is good to know about Thiamine. Folate is also important. For those reading this, the genetic defect that prevents one's body from processing synthetic folate (a.k.a. folic acid) is a defect in the MTHFR gene and 44% of the population has this genetic defect. When you have this genetic defect, it isn't just that you can't break down folic acid, the folic acid stays in the body for a period of time and can cause a range of mental health symptoms as well as blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, pain and fatigue. The way you get around this is to simply take 5-MTHF in supplement form (know as "methyl folate"). Methyl Folate is the form of folate that those with the MTHFR gene defect can break down. Again, if you have this genetic defect, do not take "folic acid" in any form (folic acid is commonly added to many boxed foods and it is also sprayed on non-organic grain crops in the U.S.). Take Methyl Folate if you have this genetic defect. The liquid and capsule forms are better absorbed. Certainly, adding foods high in 5-MTHF is also really good to treat folate deficiency. Also, it's possible that if you are deficient in thiamin and folate, you're deficient in other b vitamins as well and it would be better to take the "methyl" forms of the other b vitamins. You can actually buy a methyl B complex vitamin which has all the essential B vitamins.

I'd been depressed a few weeks now. I have B complex supplements at home but have not been taking them. I will try this and see how it works in a few hours.
