You have saved my life Dr Berg. I was suffering from dysautonomia since march after getting sick with a viral infection. I started having strange symptoms like heart palpitations, POTs, cold feet and hot forehead without fever, cold intolerance, dizziness and anxiety which was turning into panic attacks. I did my own research and found that my symptoms are matching a lot with thiamine deficiency. I started thiamine 500mg along with a b-complex, magnesium and a good quality probiotic and I'm feeling much better. I cannot thank you enough for your life changing content but still a big thanks from my side. :)
I am glad you’re feeling better. My husband is feeling the same since he got sick with Covid-19 last year. Are taking benfotiamine 500mg or thiamine 500mg?
No politician alive has done as much as Dr. Berg in selflessly helping the public. He is knowledgeable and informative and speaks in terms and explanations that are easy for the layman to understand. He is a blessing to those who need help. Many Thanks from all of us, Dr. Berg.
Disagree; Trump gave up his lavish lifestyle to help save this country. He and his family are being attacked constantly. They are trying to kill him, put him in prison etc. maybe when he becomes president again he and Robert Kennedy Jr. can hire Dr Berg to Make America Healthy Again!
This is the only doctor besides Barbara O’Neil that I think doesn’t keep any secrets to themselves, He’s is pretty straightforward! And I hope to buy your book one day !
I've been taking Benfotiamine for the past 2 weeks after seeing one of your videos. The nerve pain I had in my feet and legs are gone. Thank you for teaching me how to heal my body Dr. Berg.
@@Drberg Hi Dr Berg, there is a lot of talk about sugar eating away at your arteries... in my past I ate more sugar than you can imagine... for the past 2 years I have stopped completely and eat keto... I would like to know what to eat to directly target the recovery of my arteries... thank you.
You've saved my life Dr Berg. I had a severe B1 deficiency caused by fasting without supplementing electrolytes and vitamins (I'd class myself as very healthy, avid runner and strict keto diet). I knew better, but we all make mistakes sometimes - it was my own fault frankly. Ended up in hospital 2 times where I thought I was going to die, I had severe shakes, huge arrhythmias, chest thumping, swollen feet, the list goes on. Essentially I had Beri Beri - the doctors however told me I had anxiety and sent me home both times. Eventually I fell hopeless and the symptoms continued. I said a little prayer and the next morning I woke up to you posting a video of B1 deficiency and sure as anything, it was that. A week of Benfotiamine and Magnesium (worth mentioning not to take Benfotiamine without taking Mg alongside, at least 400mg) and I was already way back on track. Never comment on these things but I just wanted you to know how much you really do help. Forever in your debt, friend. Thank you.
After listening to Dr Berg, I had my boyfriend start taking this. He is diabetic, alcoholic and has a heart problem. The combination of his bad health and medicine for it, he was so tired he couldn’t function. He was really dragging. I was afraid he was going to die, he was so low in energy. Not even a month, maybe two weeks in, he is a new man. He has the energy to do projects after work and has started woodworking again. I was afraid he was going to have to stop working a month ago! I can’t express how thankful am for the information.
I like that this doctor respects us enough to know we can comprehend what he advises. We are not stupid. We can take control of our own health. We are our own best doctors.
I've been experiencing chronic fatigue, anxiety, and depression for years and just couldn't get myself together. I started taking benfotiamine just two days ago and I'm already feeling a huge boost of energy, improved mood, and brain function. I can't believe I've been struggling that long when the underlying cause was a simple B1 deficiency. Thank you, Dr. Berg, what you do for people is truly amazing 🙏🏻
@@marzenabaginska1612 would start low dose stated on the label . I suggest you start with simple Thiamine first which Is cheaper.. if it works then great, you can advance to benfotiamine. There is a young British guy which has great videos on this if you search on RU-vid thiamine deficiency eonutrition
Had been getting worsening odd seemingly unrelated symptoms (panic attacks, jumpy heart, shaking, insomnia, inability to exercise, iBS) and saw one on your videos on B1 deficiency I stated taking benfotiamine and thiamine and it made me myself again (almost) Thank you! Without you, I’d have gone through exams and testing with several specialists, been put on horrible medications and never recovered my health
All those symptoms you listed can also disappear by eliminating wheat from your diet. I had the exact same and once I totally got rid of wheat and all other grains, the symptoms stopped dramatically. Diet really is everything.
I had very bad peripheral neuropathy (following blood cancer treatment) and pain in my legs. After a few weeks of Benfotiamine, the pain is gone! I am so happy i found out about this amazing compound, changed my life, i couldn't walk, run or cycle without pain before, now I am fine 😊
I started taking Benfotiamine from a previous Dr Berg video to help with frequent nighttime urinating, it worked so well but it also cleared up the pain in my feet after a long shift at work. So grateful 😇
The world will be totally different without this man. Dr.Berg you are getting almost 11 million blessing every single day. Remember 11 million hands are praying for you always. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ❤ from INDIA.
@@Drberghey Dr. I noticed the images of the types of foods you shouldn’t consume in order to avoid insulin resistance is milk one of them as well ? I drink organic grass fed milk
Hello DR Birg, I have good news to tell, as I mentioned to you about a month ago that a friend of mine is type one diabetes and every 5 weeks he would have to have a shot in one eye. So I told him about B1 vitamin, as you see I watch your videos a lot. He is been taking B1 not benfotiamene a long with vitamin C. Usually his eye starts bothering him a week before the shot .yesterday he called me and told me that he was improving a lot and maybe next time he will not need the shot. I and him we thank a lot for your kindness and your help. May God bless you Dr.
I’ve been living in absolute hell for 6 months. Out of nowhere, anxiety, ocd, tics, weak, overthinking.. the list goes on and on. I started load my up on magnesium, a quality multi vitamin and what not… adding the b1 and benofitamine saved me. I can’t tell you the change this made. Thank you.
@@amandairedale706 Can you please tell me if Benfortiamine 250 and Thiamine vitamin B1 are the same? Also do you take it in the morning or at night?Thankyou very much in advance. There are so many brands, types and dosage of these vitamins that it gets very confusing.
I was showing all the signs of B1 deficiency after starting methotrexate for Rheumatoid arthritis. My Rheumatologist ignored all my concerns (peripheral neuropathy was debilitating) and kept saying all I need is higher dose of methotrexate for aches and pains. I heard that folic acid deficiency impacts absorption of B1 and methotrexate blocks folic acid. Though I was supplementing with folate my symptoms got worse every time I took methotrexate. More over due to wheat allergy I was eating white rice in every meal. No wonder I was deficient. At one point I felt I can’t move my legs to walk and I told my family that it feels like I am about to get paralyzed. I started taking be benfothiamine with other form of B1. I felt like a new person in just two days. Thank full for all the videos online. God is great!
I know you hear this probably at least daily but I gotta chime in … God bless you for all your dedication and research, you’re a guardian angel to humanity 💕!
@@paviravi4372 i’ve taken a B complex vitamin before the Benforiamine and it really didn’t do anything. But the Benfotiamine is supposed to go right to the mylar sheeting around the nerves because it’s specifically fat soluble.
I've dealt with chronic fatigue and brain fog for the past couple of years of my life. I've implemented Benfotiamine and a B-Complex for the past 3 months, and my overall energy and brain functioning has been stable. I would always be moody, low energy, and just off in a daze with no motivation. I am now more active, more optimistic, and living abundantly with a better mindset with these essential vitamins. No supplement is a cure-all. I've implemented same-time wake and sleep times, intermittent fasting, and a lower-carb approach to my diet. These are all things that have helped my overall way of living and productivity throughout the day.
@@divasv I took 300 mg daily. I did it for about 3 months. After I finished the bottle, I stopped. For me specifically, it would work, but it wasn’t the magic pill. I’d still have days where I would definitely feel lethargic mentally. I’ve recently turned to a carnivore approach, and I’ve experienced more changes from that than from any supplement alone.
Dr Berg I have watched a lot of your videos over the years and have had more success following your advice than any doctor I’ve been to. Thank you for your help!
I don’t know how to express my gratitude Dr. Berg. All I can do is pray and send my well wishes through my prayers on your way. U have given my life back and I have benefited from lots and lots of your videos . I am not mentioning one or two because the numbers are more. God sent you to the suffering humanity. If not law of attraction bring us to your videos. Because there were times I used to think I can’t achieve anything in life because of my poor health. But you gave a world full of hope just by sharing these life saving wisdom. Stay in great health Doctor and live longer. Because the world needs you
I'm so glad I found this video! As a diabetic for 35 yrs, nobody in health profession during that time has EVER mentioned anything about any vital vitamins/minerals/'potions' that I should be aware of or could be beneficial to take...EVER! So I've had to pick up bits and pieces of information..here and there and through trial and error I have found things that have improved my 'ailments'. I've only just recently started to take benfotiamine so time will tell if that is the final piece in my jigsaw puzzle. Thank you for good information (in other videos as well) and I love it how well you explain things and make them understandable for us mere mortals.
Thank you Dr Berg for you great videos. At age 70 my optometrist said that my optic nerve was thinning and I asked what to do about it and the answer was, come back in years time and we'll see how it's going. I have seen your previous videos of Benfotiamine and I started to take not only one capsule but 3 a day I also started to take Ginko Biloba and Bilberry supplements and now I do not have pain any more in my eyes and also neurological tingling in my toes has disappeared. Thank you so much for the help you give us all.
Thank you Dr.Berg. you are a great Wellness teacher . I am a retired R.N. who has practiced Holistic medicine for o er 25 years. I am always learning new updated valuable information from all your old and new You Tube videos as well as receiving your emails regularly now. God Bless you Dr.Eric Berg. By the way , being on the Healthy Keto plan for a year, I have lost 40 pounds gradually and living it. Now I will start taking " Benfotaimine " to address the peripheral neuropathy symptoms in my Hands which I have had for more than 2 years.🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Dr. Berg suggested I contact you - your progress is inspiring! Could we get a brief history and a before-and-after photo for our site? www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story -Dr. Berg's Support Team.
This topic is one one of the most important today!!! How many people in the world are experiencing insulin resistance and I glucose level! Dr. Thank you so much and continue teach us God bless you and greetings from Peru South America
100% true. I take a high-quality B-complex (one that contains Benfotiamine, Folate (as Methylfolate, not as folic acid), Methylcobalamin, and Choline) and it's made a massive improvement in my health.
I take this 2 hours before I swim and I have more power. I have peripheral neuropathy, now getting better after taking this with ALA and B12. Plus 1 hour exposure to sunlight daily, do speed things up with healing.
I started using B1 at your suggestion Dr Berg as I had been having burning in my feet. It worked Now I’ve switched to Benfotamine. I also recommend your channel to my clients Thank you for your work
Superb video! My daily dose of knowledge 😃👍 Trauma/chronic stress/chronic sympathetic driven state has caused my severe gut problems. Leaky gut, inability to absorb nutrients and severe insulin resistance. This cumulatively has caused debilitating symptoms. I believe the benfotiamine, along with fasting, and a strict keto diet is greatly helping me regain my health. Stay the course! Thanks to you and your health family for all you do! Peace love and blessings!
Another great video. I just started on bentofamine. Didn't realize it was fat soluble. Working on targeted exercises to get rid of the invisible organ fat.
I listened to a different video from Dr. Berg and he mentioned cracked heels would respond to benfotiamine. I bought some immediately (I already take alpha lipoic acid) and long story short, in about a month there was a significant improvement. About 4 months now and the cracks are almost gone. Previously I had to keep after them (carefully) with a file because they were so rough but when I say carefully I mean it. If I filed too much and went to deep near a crack it could hurt for days. I am really grateful for this information. My summer feet are finally sandal worthy. As a bonus I think it's helping me fall asleep faster.
Please create a video about the pros and cons of 24 hours fasting once a week vs 8/16 fasting every day. I can do both and would like to understand the health impacts of both methods. Thank you!
I mix it up. I've been on a high dose B1 regimen for 3 months now to great effect. I started with Benfotiamine at 900mg and a liquid B1 with my magnesium before bed. No more "jimmy legs" at night. I then bought a bottle of Thiamax, which is uses Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide at only 100mg ( it is more bioavailable so I don't need the super high dose ). I think using ANY form of B1 is gonna help most people. My system has improved greatly since starting this regimen. Best of luck to Team Berg Fans out there.
@@paulasusan63 I use Double Woods Supplements brand of benfotiamine. They come as 300mg per serving ( two pills ). So they are 150mg per pill. I first noticed positive effects after working my way up to 600mg per day. There are some B1 experts with YT channels dedicated to high dose B1 therapies. I recommend you utilize their expertise for how to slowly increase your intake to a therapeutic dose.
Dr Berg, All your videos on Benfotiamine has immensely helped me. Even at A1C 6.2, I started getting burning sensation in my palms and my eyesight got slightly blurry. All that reversed after I started taking Benfotiamine. My sleep pattern also improved a lot. I take this Vit. after dinner and I get very good sleep now. My doctor wasn't even aware of this vitamin and when I told him about my experience he said he will research on this and asked how to spell Benfotiamine?
😂I've heard that the general schooling of becoming a Dr. Only requires them to do 5 hours of nutrition...which is sad and would explain how your doctor wouldn't know about it...NUTRITION IS EVERYTHING!!!
My dizziness is a lot better since I got back on b complex, since reading your video, Dr. Berg. I also notice a lack of bloat, and my fingers feel skinnier, as if I have lost weight. I have been doing fifty bridges, and about thirty squats. I always felt better when lifting 5 to 8 pound weights, but, since my husband's diagnosis of dementia, I got somewhat depressed, and majorly stressed. I have to do most everything, and feeling a mixture of feelings, depending on what happens each day. I have been trying to get him into a neurologist since September. I had read about the increase in dementia at that time, so began to call immediately, but didn't have much success. Our appointment is in latter February, so we can finally see a ray of light in the tunnel...thank you for your vedeos!
I wish my in-laws would listen to reason and take a closer took at to what they are doing to their bodies. This information you have shared is so critical to more improved health and even offer some stabilization to the onslaught of damage that has already been done. I'm certainly taking this to heart and I do not want to make the same mistake.
Sadly most refuse to get off of the carbs/processed foods. My sister won’t and she already has type 1.5 diabetes. Most people would rather suffer poor health than change their diet.
Boy, I wish you were my doctor. I just got diagnosed with diabetes on April and I have low iron. I watch all your videos and I’m doing keto with diabetes.
Dr. Berg, Dr. Osborne and Elliot understands the importance of B1 Thiamine. Imagine them having a conference video in Thiamine that would be spectacular.😊
Thank you Dr. Berg! Wonderful information! I'm taking a nerve formula with the Benfotamine and Alpha Lipoic Acid and it has worked wonders on the neuropathy in my feet.
Thank you so much for all information you are giving us!🙏🏻I have taken benfotiamine a couple of months now with different vitamines also Ashwaganda. It has helped me a lot in many ways. I’am grateful for your time, the knowledge, advice and these video clips for us to learn and understanding better of our body!😍❤️🙏🏻👌🏻
@@Drberg It means a lot to know how the body works and affects you in different ways. Above all, to understand why and get it confirmed to be able to get better through different ways through diet, vitamins and the mindset. I have been told that there is nothing to be done and I have to live with numerous problems and pains. But I have never given up and searched for a long time that there must be something to learn a better understanding of how everything is. With your help as you do, I have listened many times, summarized and tried different ways. The improvements with benfotiamine have resulted in a short time. For which I thank you very much! Bless you!🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was wondering if compression socks actually help? I have been doing the keto diet for the last 2 1/2 months and I’ve lost 41.4 pounds, I’ve learned a lot from your videos. Thank you 😊
I got this version of B1 relatively recently and keep forgetting that's fat soluble. I am so used to taking B group vitamins with water at any old time because they're usually water soluble, but with fat soluble vitamins they need some kind of fat or oil to bind to in order to be absorbed properly. I'm glad I saw this video as it acts as a reminder to me to take the Benfotiamine at the same time I take my other fat soluble antioxidants (such as E) which I usually take straight after a meal which has some amount of fat or oil in it. At a pinch you can use full cream milk and chug it down with that. As long as it has some fat to bind to.
I went through all kinds of tests to rule everything out. Saw every specialist. Not one mentioned B1. I've heard many people had good results from taking Bi or Benfotamine on this. Channel. I purchased, and Im going to try. My new primary agrees to give a try after I mentioned it. Can't wait to see any results. Thank you Dr Berg for all you do to help us get better. Love your video's.
This stuff is amazing. Last year I started to have problems with my legs. Couldn't walk very far or fast, they felt really tight, heavy and I would get burning in my thighs. I would feel tired all the time. I was on thiamine for a couple of weeks, then decided to try benfotiamine, which I've taken for maybe 2 weeks. At first I didn't take the whole 300mg, capsule, I tipped some out. For 3 days I've been taking 300mgs in morning. While walking today I noticed my legs felt really good, relaxed, no burning, light and no trouble walking, I also didn't get tired. I'm very happy with the results so far. Apparently, from what I've read, full benefits are reached in 6 weeks, on 600mg. i'll take another 300mg. capsule in afternoons starting Monday. In tests on my legs, nothing really showed up, and I didn't think it would, my trust in doctors is nil. It seems it was nerve damage. Amazing. I will have to watch the video again. Thanks to the you tube doctors who don't believe in drugs for every ache and pain.
I forgot to add my legs always felt like we're about to cramp, a couple of times they did, and it was about 4 days before my legs stopped hurting. My calves used to ache and feel tender to touch, now it only hurts when I push in too hard.
Incredible gratitude to Dr. Berg, your advice on taking vitamins and microelements is priceless, it really helps to improve the quality of life of an elderly person with cognitive impairment and we can sleep peacefully, with respect and appreciation for your work
Great info, got numbness on my right hand recently and sorted it out taking Benfotiamine and alpha lipoic acid. Thank you ever so much Dr Berg ! Stelian
My 85 y.o. mom hasn’t been diagnosed with diabetes (though she could be), but she has been diagnosed with dementia, renal disease and blindness in one eye. I started her on KETO with plenty of avocados which swiftly normalized her BP. She used to complain frequently of cold hands, but that’s resolved apparently on its own…though she still complains of tingling in her feet. So now… thanks to you, Dr B, I’ve just started her on Benfotiamine, as well as nutritional yeast and other relevant supplements you’ve mentioned in other videos. I’m eager to see how she responds to this latest tweak to her supplemental regimen. I, myself, am preparing for my first ever parasite cleanse-I’m a bit apprehensive, but hugely grateful to you for the bile salts tip!! PS… I don’t think the first “i” in ‘Ben-fo-ti-a-mine” is silent… is it? And… you didn’t REALLY mean to say that ice cream is “cooked”, did you? 🤔 😂
Ice cream is cooked the basic ingredients to make it is Pasteurized at a very high temperature... Then they cook it again to add flavorings. The eggs that are used in ice cream must be cooked.
Only if so many people would really know and understand this or unless they are too stubborn to! Thank you, Dr. Berg for your great knowledge and hard work that you put into wanting to get people healthy!!!!
Read many of Dr Berg's video's and related videos concerning B1 Deficiency. I have some of the classic symptoms. I used Benfotiamine today and took four times the does as recommended. After my second dose (8 tablets) my hearing became clearer. I suffer from hearing loss and it is a great relief that there is an instant improvement. Thank you Dr Berg! Watch this space!
Hello, I have MS and started taking B1 complex along with 300mg of Benfotiamine as well as 50 mg of Allithiamine and considering taking Berberine...I know you can't really recommend dosages and I'm also asking what you would recommend. I've had MS for 16 years, never taken any traditional meds. I've been able to control it through diet, meditation and dealing with trauma. Lately experiencing nerve pain and numbness...I'm also menopausal which makes this even more interesting! Thanks for all you do!
Great video as always! I've learned so much with the various vitamins and supplements through Dr Berg. One question for me is to understand how to combine them into a dosage regime to keep it effective, and costs low.

Best advice is don't take it if you're not getting any of the symptoms. If symptoms don't improve, stop taking it. This is an antioxidant that comes with its drawbacks, specifically that oxidative stress is a requirement for building muscle, and oxidation is a requirement for muscle healing and energy recovery. There is a reason why people who take powerful antioxidants such as "resveratrol" report a significant decrease in performance and recovery. Even with supplements such as Vitamin C that showed a decrease in performance, recovery, and muscle gained in those taking Vit C vs. those that aren't. Unless you have an imbalance or deficiancy, then dont take it.
@@Skelathnah, vitamin B1 isnt antioxidant. It is only vitamin C and E that is antioxidant among the vitamins, not including the minerals and other phytonutrients.
My question is that beef liver having the B vitamins..I can take the liver pills equivalent needed? I eat beef liver but never daily or weekly so I take the desiccated pills of organ & liver included
Anything B wise will help but it’s up against a major disease. It helps to regenerate the sheath around the nerve ending that MS can affect. Also, please look up carnivore diet for this. I have heard people go into remission from doing carnivore with MS.
Type 1 diabetes is the worse disease to have. The damage it can cause is bad and very scary. Ive been type 1 for over 40 years and im trying my best to not have bad complications. Dr Berg has helped me with all his great information. My concern is though is can we take too many supplements and can they damage the liver. I take several a day so please dr berg can you make video about taking too many supplements. Thanks
YES, PLEASE. Majority of supplements I can’t take, because they end up bogging up my (right) kidney/liver - to where I get immense edema (only really in my ankles; though, I do get a bit puffy in my hands and under my eyes, also). I just had to stop taking a B12 supplement, even though I am severely deficient due to having most of my stomach removed - because it started causing edema. Hell, I just bought Dr. Berg’s brand of liquor Vit. D and had to stop taking it, because of the edema. Also, after a time, I start to develop pain in my right side - sometimes from my liver, sometimes from my kidneys. Which, then causes the tinnitus to get worse, in my right ear (as I lost some hearing due to kidney damage/oxycodone Rx). I do my best to eat beef everyday, to help - as a beef/some dairy/some fruit/coconut water based diet is what I feel best on. It seems that even though I was told it is necessary to supplement, after having bariatric surgery, due to all the health issues I have had, as result of other medical interventions due to surgical and post-surgical complications - diet is the only real successful way I can get the nutrients I require. I definitely understand your struggle, for sure - and I can imagine it’s much more difficult, because of the type 1 diabetes. My prayers are with you.
If supplements are taken right, you would only need them to recover the damage made by a disease. After that, you may be better off the supplements. I mean, literally feel better without them. But one never knows, so is worth experimenting to find the right personal balance. It may take up to a few years to recover. If one has an incurable incident disease (like T1DM), he is required to always supplement with some stuff. In case of T1DM, it is insulin. Also B1, because many people with T1DM develop a parallel insulin resistance that eventually leads to T2DM. And people with both T1DM and T2DM feel terrible! So, if the situation is left unmanaged, it may significantly hinder the quality of life.
Of all the supplements I take to relieve my type 2 symptoms, none is more effective than benfotiamine. Other things all help, but this one thing is dramatically effective. Thanks Dr. Berg for your informative and accurate videos.
@@alirazagardezi9854 I am taking AOR brand 80mg capsules but I have taken 2 - 4 at a time depending on how I feel. As an update, I find these less effective as time goes by. I am not sure why but it may have something to do with eating 80 % carnivore diet. I hope this is helpful.
Oh boy! Am I glad I ran into this I am subscribed to your videos and I check it regularly at least 2/3 times a week. I’ve been taking It with water, changing that right away
Went to brunch yesterday 5 of us and told them Dr Berg helped me I never forget “if your liver is not functioning properly your thyroid won’t function properly”. The food and nutrients awakening I was longing for. Thank you Dr Berg❤
I have radicular neuropathy due to a spinal injury and now I have hypothyroidism and psoriatic arthritis. My average pain level is an 8. I pray for a 7 day! I take so many supplements to try to mitigate damage.
@@DinaraBakirova-um9zd I know I have spinal arthritis, I broke L5 and was born with double hip dysplasia. At this point, nothing fazes me. I am going to ask my doc about the arachno. Thank you🫶🏼
