Thiamine Deficiency Epidemic: Dysautonomia, Vagal Tone, & High Calorie Malnutrition

[@miketexas4549]

I was completely bedridden for 4 months following a covid infection, was diagnosed with Covid long haul syndrome and was found with reduced LVEF. After a week of megadosing B1 my symptoms completely disappeared. Makes me believe that many who think they have this mysterious condition called covid long haul are actually just B1 deficient. It was truly a miracle making this discovery, I now have my life back after feeling completely hopeless.

[@fclinch7fm]

Hi Mike. Hope you're doing well. Fellow covid long haulers here, spoke to you a few weeks ago. I started taking Benfothiamine 2 weeks ago just a low dose to begin with. I'm now taking 200mg twice a day. Saw a huge improvement for a few days last week but crashed again 2 days ago with awful fatigue. Not sure if I should increase or not. I'm taking with B Complex and magnesium with the benfo. Can't remember what dosage of you said you took? Best wishes. Fran

[@miketexas4549]

@@fclinch7fm Hi Fran! I'm sorry to hear that your symptoms returned. For my megadose stage I took 500mg of thiamine hydrochloride with each meal, and I did this for ten days. I now take a once daily called B6 Complex made by a company called Pure Encapsulations. Be careful with the benfotiamine, it is fat soluable and stays in the body much longer than the water soluable stuff so I wouldn't overdo that one, it could lead to negative side effects. In my humble, non-medical opinion it seems the fact that you experienced an immediate Improvement upon B1 consumption, your problem definitely seems tied to vitamins. It may be worthwhile to have a blood panel done where you can see exactly what your current vitamin and mineral status is. If everything comes back perfectly normal, you can then rule out pursuing vitamins as the cause of your problems and continue your search. Best wishes to you Fran! Mike

In bed if it gets too warm, I feel my heart race and anxiety. It is worse on hot and humid days. I HAVE BEEN A BIG-TIME JUNK FOODIE. CARBS WERE MY HUBBY. I realize now carbs deplete the B vitamins. Dr Berg got me looking at the B vitamins. Then I saw samurais in Japan faced this issue due to eating the white rice. Well, I'm in Japan and there is a lot of white rice. My hubby often brings home white bread to eat for breakfast. I'm going to add barley and red beans and cut the white rice and too much junk. When I'd try to take well-rated B vitamins I'd feel very depressed the next day, I tried various brands. I heard you have to get your magnesium levels up or the body can't process the B vitamins and vitamin D. I'm working on getting my magnesium up. I had tried nutritional yeast but even a small amount seemed to give me the flush feeling (niacin flush?).

Amazing! That is all I can say. I bought the bok by Dr Lonsdale and Marrs, but no time to read it yet. Thank you so much for breaking the info don so well. How simple are these concepts but at the end of the day gets ignored by the mainstream? Thiamine is needed in the rate limiting step for ATP, and Magnesium is required down the line as well, should it then surprise that both individually or in combination will help with diabetes? If the cell for some reason isn't producing energy efficiently, it will resist insulin leading to diabetes. Simple but yet profound! Mainstream gives metformin which further depletes thiamine for diabetics who are already 50% low compared to others. The stressor idea that reveals the underlying deficiency is also interesting. How many children start manifesting autistic symptoms after the stressor of vaccination? How many of these kids stutter, or are non verbal and have gut problems? How come parents notice improvements when these kids eat less refined sugars? Sorry, there are lots of questions, but do see some of the connections? Thiamine is more foundational than we all think.

My doctor said that I was low on vitamin D but didn't suggest I do anything about it. Then I got the bill was $50 for the blood test for vitamin deficiency. A year later I went to a new doctor and she did the same blood test saying I was low in vitamin D and charge me another fifty bucks not suggesting anything I should do about it. On my own I decided to go to the drugstore and get some vitamin D, it was like $5 for a two-year Supply. KZbin videos now convinced me to get vitamin C, vitamin E, magnesium, potassium, vitamin B12 and now with this video I got to go out and buy B1. None of those vitamins I took gave me any noticeable change. But I guess I'll see what B1 does. I'm suffering from long covid or mercury poisoning from my amalgam teeth.

Remember God is the Holiest such that one small lie will induce his severe wrath. Good news is Jesus died on the cross so that you may receive forgiveness of AALL YOUR SINS (No matter how bad or how many). But you aren’t forgiven unless you REPENT OF YOUR SINS & BELIEVE IN JESUS AS YOUR GOD (repentance means turning from sin and doing your absolute best not to do it again, also ask Jesus to rid you of addictions that you’re struggling to shake away-James 4:7). God has blessed us with Great food to eat (kings in the past don’t eat like we do today), shelter, freedoms, fun, medicine, pets to enjoy their company, friends, nice music to listen to and many more things to enjoy. Yet we don’t give him thanks, Blaspheme his HOLY name etc God wants to give the free gift of eternal life (9999999999999999999999999… years of extreme happiness) but we need to humble ourselves and turn from our wicked ways Believe in Jesus (God wants to have a relationship with you-like a father and his children).

my best understanding of mechanizm of depletion of reserves of B vitamins is because of too much prolonged stress and because b vitamins are shared between processes in the body: it happens during Krebs cycle. Cortisol encourages production of energy in Krebs cycle. for example as response to stress situation there comes adrenaline and cortisol and make you some quick energy also coffee makes cortisol. The problem happens when there is stress 24/7 for prolonged period. it causes to run the Krebs cycle 24/7. The Krebs cycle is limited by B1 B3 B12 vitamins which are coenzymes (help enzymes have usable shape work). when they are missing the Krebs cycle can't work properly. so after long stress all b vitamins are depleted and you left with severe deficiency. because you know adrenaline/cortisol has no mercy it uses up the body reserves in a stressful situation even until break down. as people age they get more cortisol seems related to something around b6 vitamin, then the b6 deficiency influences homocysteine . so there is also homocysteine recycling issue when there is not enough B12 B9 B6, (warning don't take b6 more than 200mg/day its toxic at that amount need only 15-35). elevated homocysteine makes cell walls permeable causing inflammation and blood viscous at cold which tears check vales in blood vassals and kidneys. (more on homocysteine, it comes from building body cells from methionine an by product, for example it happens a lot during pregnancy it is known to make spider vines on legs). the issue is b vitamins are shared in the body for different processes. and one process takes from the other.

[@tracyroweauthor]

Thiamine deficiency is definitely not a thing of the past. I have Pernicious Anemia (autoimmune b12 deficiency) which causes my other b vitamin levels to fluctuate and I often test as b1 deficient.

At 18:56 she mentions fluoroquinolones then later (20:00) says tendon rupture is the most common side effect of fluoroquinolones. I doubt that tendon rupture is "the most common" side effect. Tendon rupture is a grave concern & later helped get fluoroquinolones a long overdue "black box warning." But "most common" -- I don't think so. But she brings up a good question as to if taking thiamine would help prevent that tendon rupture. There is a whole community of people that have been harmed by fluoroquinolones. They call themselves "floxies." The FDA turned a blind eye to the severe side-effects for far to long.
