[@Hilhub]

I didn’t know about thiamine until 2014 when my friend was in the hospital for the third time detoxing from a drinking binge and on oxygen for COPD after chain smoking the whole time as well. After each detox he was ready to conquer the world and stay sober, but it only lasted for a week and the high would wear off. So this time I asked what was in his iv drip. I was told thiamine, niacin and electrolytes. When he got out I had already purchased these (and other) vitamins and he started them on the way home from the hospital. The niacin was only for the first few days, but he kept taking the b1 with b12, d3 and magnesium. He didn’t have a single craving to drink for the next six years. In the 7th year he began to smoke again and eventually his health declined. He passed quickly from cancer in ‘21. But for 6 years he was alcohol free which I attribute to b1.

There was a Hong Kong Veteran survivor I had the privilege of getting to know who passed away in 2021 at 100 years young. He suffered from Beriberi from being held captive as a prisoner of war in the concentration camps for 4 (four) years between the age of 20 - 24 before they were liberated. They were basically giving rice when they were given food. I wish I could have told him about benfotiamine 20 yrs. before he passed away when I initially met him because he tried everything - except this. He's now no longer suffering in the spirit world.

@@Daves2024 Life Extension’s Boron! It comes with a bit of B2 (Riboflavin) because Boron depletes a little bit of your B2, so it’s a safe way to take it I think the dosages are 3mg Boron per pill, and I take 2x a day (morning and night). Sometimes 3x a day as people have reported taking Boron in higher dosages with very few side effects; it’s one of the safer supplements. Boron also naturally raises testosterone in men among other things! So what I’ve been taking for minor back pain is Vitamin D3, K2, Magnesium Glycinate (2x at night, sometimes more) and Boron.

Não poderia deixar de trazer minha experiência com neuropatia periférica idiopática que desenvolvi a quase dois anos atrás. Percorri muitos especialistas (clínico geral, cardiologista, endocrinologista, reumatologista e neurologista) e uma infinidade de exames até descobrir a polineuropatia periférica com neurologista do HCor. Sem causa definida a orientação dada foi tratar paliativa mente com pregabalina e nada mais me foi orientado. Ok, não me confirmei em apenas tratar o sintoma (dor neuropática) e decidi aprofundar os estudos na causa e em outras alternativas de tratamento real, medidas modificadores da doença. Acrescento que não sou médica, sou biomédica e psicóloga, hoje aposentada. Tinha certa facilidade em analisar estudos acadêmicos relacionados a isso e pesquisei bastante. Passei a tomar uma combinação de Benfotiamina, ácido alfalipoico(antioxidante), B12, B9 e vitamina D com K2 em doses perfeitamente seguras. Para ajudar o corpo a lidar melhor e se recuperar mudei minha dieta para uma alimentação antiinflamatória cortando o glúten, lactose e caseína (leite e seus derivados), processados e açúcar bem como o álcool e associei a prática de atividades físicas. Depois de um ano estou completamente assintomática, nenhum resquício da neuropatia periférica, saudável, com energia para tudo e sem tomar nenhuma remédio (nunca tomei pregabalina). Este é um relato pessoal, foi o que funcionou para mim e estudei bastante antes de tomar essa decisão pois segundo o neurologista apenas a pregabalina poderia aliviar os sintomas. Hoje tomo as vitaminas em dose mínima de manutenção para um sistema nervoso periférico que parece ter se recuperado. Cada um deve tomar sua própria decisão e nutrólogos seriam um bom caminho para ajudar nesse processo. Passar pelos médicos não me ofereceu nenhuma orientação nutricional e a preocupação parecia apenas tratar ou mascarar os sintomas. Não acho errado adotarmos uma atitude mais proativa em relação a nossa saúde mas isso deve ser feito com muita cautela, estudo e devagar, com ajuda profissional se possível mas devemos fazer mais por nós mesmos qdo isso não é possível

Dr. Biernackie, I have several conditions that have contributed to suffering from Dry and Wet Beri Beri. I am really praying to get off bed rest and get going again! I am a gastric bypass patient, have had a severe bleed from a perforated ulcer about 6 years ago. After this bleed, my body started putting weight on to the point now I am back to pre bypass weight! We believe my body was triggered into starvation mode. The only thing that interrupted this weight gain was 3 months of Keto/20 carbs/day, exercise and fasting 22 hours a day! So now I am healed up from an Achilles tear, broken heel (screws and plate repair) and a shattered big toe amputation. Over this past 6 months I had edema and contracted a skin infection which required serious wound care and compression bandaging by nurse clinicians at the hospital. All told I have been off my feet for the better part of 2 years! I am Finally getting up and going. With my B1 and B12 defficiency as chronic as it is, I am hitting every angle I can. We did blood tests CBC, FBC and I now take the following supplements: (Dr. Recommended) B1 500mg - with 100mg magnesium Pure - Therapro B12 drops 3 types cobalamin (Methyl, Hydroxo, Adenosol) 1000iu 2x daily 1mg Folic Acid - daily 50mg Zinc - daily 650mg Ferrous Sulfate 20,000iu D3 Not Dr. Recommended: *Benfotiamine 300mg + L Leucine 40mg All but the Benfotiamine are recommended by my PCP. My biggest problem that I am looking for some hope on is I have ataxia and cannot balance when walking. I use a walker any time I walk more than 50 feet. Do you believe that this supplementation can overcome the ataxia and muscle instability? How long would you think is reasonable to believe I will feel better. I was sleeping 14 hours a day and any time I got up I would be wiped out tired in as little as 30 minutes! Then my muscles in my glutes and legs hurt for like a day after! I am very hopeful after seeing some of the testimonials. Since I started taking B1 a couple of weeks ago, I noticed night burning sensation in my feet has all but disappeared! I wonder if the triple threat B12 is helping there dramatically. I just pray it's not placebo effect! I want to get well. I would like to go back to a Keto/Carnivore 20 carb/day to drop this weight. I have seen that varying the fasting window helps to avoid long plateaus. Any advice you can throw my way I would appreciate! It sucks being such a mess physically!

Didn't work for me, for some reason. I hope that this helps. Best of health to you. 🌞

B1 if so life changing for so many , every one needs to know about it

[@user-jm6wv9qq8x]

Supplementation with alpha lipoic acid is unfavorable in a thiamine deficiency; make sure that the vitamin B1 status is in order before using alpha lipoic acid. Alpha lipoic acid may lower vitamin B8 levels. Neuropathy can also be the cause of vitamin B12 deficiency! The cause is a greasy substance called Meyeline that surrounds the nerves and serves as a protective layer. When this substance is reduced, symptoms appear.

Hello, so I have paradoxical reactions to benfotiamine so I open the capsule and only sprinkle a tiny amount, do I just take that amount each day or should I take multiple doses of that amount until I finish the capsule that day?

Thank you much for this topic. My NP told me to take this b 1 for my conditions. I'm going to have a procedure and have to be off all supplements for a week before. I was wondering how Long the benfortamine will stay in my body? I really don't want to be without it. Thanks again

[@DrTomBiernacki]

We appreciate you watching and contributing Elizabeth! In humans, after a single dose, the maximum thiamine concentration was dose-proportional and was reached after 1-2 h with an elimination half-life of 6-14 h inversely depending on the dose. So generally, half of the dose disappears every 12 hours. If possible, we would appreciate a quick rating (hopefully good), and it makes a HUGE difference for us! g.page/r/CSzlpzp7G82TEBM/review We are working hard every day to make better and more meaningful content!

EONutrition has a lot of info on dosing, and there's an interesting vid with this Elliot Overton interviewing Daphne, who took B1 for 3 mo and improved her Parkinsons symptoms 80%. Some go into commplete remission. It's very good for IBS, slow or fast motility - some need to take 1,800mg/day (gradually) for say fibromyalgia, so the dose varies from person to person. My sister who has Parkinsons, has taken just 100mg sublingual B1 and she's seen some improvement in just one week.

Definitely, this does work. I started mega dosing nearly 3 weeks ago, the difference is huge!

He also sells his ebook for £57.00, not very nice considering he also sells supplements. I don't trust folk like him, driven by greed if you ask me. Why not have the ebook at around £10.00? It's not his research but based on others.

[@meagiesmuse2334]

Thanks! I took 150 mgs. per day and it got rid of my uveitis. I recently upped it to 600 mgs. per day and my neuropathy is improving. I will try doubling that to see if it helps my fibromyalgia. Nothing has ever helped that except pain medications and I don't want to get addicted.

[@cathrynp3491]

@@meagiesmuse2334 Dr. Eric Berg says to take 3x the dose it says on the bottle which might be too much for some but from what I gather from Elliot Overton, you need to take a larger amount for fibromyalgia. Dr. Berg highly recommends taking non-fortified nutritional yeast flakes along with the B1 to make it more effective. If the B complex is synthetic, you'll get cyanocobalamin which is bound to cyanide. You will more than likely get much help! If it were me, I'd get off sugar.

For muscle pain on my shoulders and neck from the weight of my clothes would you recommend Benfotiamine or berberine which also seems to have similar good affects. Best regards.

[@larrytischler570]

You may have to take lemon water first, to let your gall bladder release if youre low on stomach acid. That causes "neck jam" according to Dr. Berg. I had low stomach acid, neck myellitus caused by arthritus, and was gluten intolerant so I was not absorbing thiamine. My nerves in my back drew my muscles up into a knot and displaced a rib. Horrible pain below my right shoulder. First I tried B vitamins plus magnesium with slight improvement. 😅Gluten free diet was the second thing. Then the lemon water helped a lot. Finally benfotiamine is working much better on the nerve damage.

[@notnow7973]

Magnesium

[@SureshKumar-gc8rl]

Long term supplementation with a fat soluble vitamin should be done with caution as it is built up in the body in the long run. However low doses of BENFOTIAMINE occasionally after the initial high dosage will be a safe method. Always take this with a meal or fat for good results. Thank you for the great video.

I randomly found another video that said this can help with SIBO, I tried regular thiamine HCL tablets months ago and it didn't seem to have any effect, just starting the benfo variety, I did not know it was so strongly potent compared to the usual stuff. I get numb spots on my hands sometimes when its a bit cold, and my hands are really sensitive to hot water / heat on some days but not others, I have no idea why. My original disease was chronic fatigue syndrome and after 5 years I started to get new symptoms which eventually turned into something I could later recognize as SIBO.

Yes, as the other comment said, definitely utilize berberine. Also ACV(apple Cider Vinegar) helps greatly and even better if you take tablespoon size shots of it along with tea (from packets that you brew) Green Tea and Black tea and make it a Super Drink by using fresh lemon & Lime squeezed into the Tea, add honey (local and least processed) and stir in some Ginger( from the powdered spice style) and that's the super drink. The best spice for Diabetic issues is Cinnamon. It is actually proven to help control Diabetic issues. Hope this helps. Good luck

Great video. Thanks! Question - My wife has ideopathic gastroparesis. I've read Allithiamine is the B1 form which can help with gut motility issues, not Benthothiamine. However, most gastroparesis is tied to diebetes. My wife's is NOT caused by diebetes, but clearly there is some form of nerve damage that has caused her gut motility to slow. So, Benthothiamine can help with nerve damage (which might help her gut repair itself), but Allithiamine can help with gut motility issues. Which form do you think might be best for my wife? Or, a combination of both? Thanks!
