I did took 1500 mg B1 hcl before due to my severe fatigue, blured vision, palpitation, nervousness. within a week of taking 1500mg of B1 I went to normal again. it even helped my hurting gums. Thiamine acts very fast. For me this B1 vitamin is the most important vitamin because it can mimic different types of illness if low in B1. Nice video
Oh Elliot, I've had fibro and migraines, angsiety, chemical intolerances etc for over 50 years; 4 days ago I took my 1st mega dose, the difference was noticible after 2 hours!! The neuropathic pain spasms and electric shocks went from my back, I've had them for 30 years. I am so, so ANGRY with the NHS for not believing me when I first asked them for help age 7, they labelled me as a hypochondriac, I'm not, I'm just forced to focus on my symptoms due to the life limiting effect they've had. Thank you so much, I waited a long time to find you!
Hi I understand you, because I didn't have good health since I was little and I didn't really enjoy life l was and I am always tired I'm in my late Sixties 😩
@@BelenAyala Hello and thank you, I'm 60. Have you tried mega dosing B1? I'm on day 16 now, I am finding exactly what Elliot says, flare up of fibro symptoms, but those terrible spasms have not returned. I've tried higher and lower doses, different times etc, in general I do feel better and it is still early days so will keep going......something will work one day, it's the law of averages!
Research done in both Italy and Israel has shown conclusively that the mitochondria in people with FM work at only 60-70% of the efficiency in healthy individuals. That's the reason FM patients suffer from chronic fatigue.
Yes the mitochondria is involved with CFS and Fibro. Feed your body to build a healthy cell, and you should get well. Alkaline and acid balance should be at Ph 6.5 saliva test.
I also have severe exercise intolerance. I have to plan days in advance, so I have lots of time to recover from outings etc. I sure hope the answers are coming finally!
@vaska1999 that’s very interesting. Last week I saw a neurologist as I want to know if I have MS or fibromyalgia as a lot of symptoms are similar. I discussed mitochondrial symptoms being a cause that he dismissed. However I believe fibromyalgia is definitely linked with dis functional mitochondria. The good news is that mitochondria function can be improved with diet, exercising and good nutrition. The other interesting fact is we inherit the mitochondria gene from our mother. I know my mother also suffered with auto immune disease and fibromyalgia.
My wife's fibromyalgia was cured when the read Dr. Gundry's book The Plant Paradox. Some plants have poisons called lectins. Avoiding these ended my wife's misery almost overnight.
@@prudenceseales735, just Google (or duck duck go, or qwant or bing) lectins in plants and how to reduce them - there's a reason old folks soaked so many foods before cooking, it reduces the amount of lectins in them. Pulses, grains, etc....
@daniellebrown5647 yes they knew so much. Iron deficiency had old wives cures like put 4 long iron nails into an apple for a day or 2. The iron leached into the apple. There's so much be lost due to modern medicine etc
@@Katrn30 I'm no expert yet and it's early days for me. I have other diagnosed illnesses, Lyme and mould, as well as having nasty side effects to the covid vaccine. All these things deplete or block thiamine so I'm giving it a go, I definitely have paradoxical reactions to 100mg though, I feel a little more agitated like it's energy my body doesn't know how to use and I get the odd heart flutter. Luckily I've just had a heart MRI showing everything is okay so I'm powering through it, just to warn you though, don't just straight to twice a day.
Incredible work! I’ve been a CFS/ FM sufferer for many years. Watched a huge amount of relevant videos, read a lot of research and seen many different doctors without any real relief. This is such a great upload. Haven’t tried high dosage thiamine therapy and will definitely do. Low dosage for about 3 months at a time didn’t do much at all for me. My muscles are always as hard as rock and I don’t even work out. So yes they seem to be filled with lactic acid. Thank you!
@@mihakavcic7237 Hi. Well I’m glad you asked cause I have good news. I’ve been on it since Dec.15th. I started out with 100mg of B1, which did nothing for me over two weeks. I then switched to 200mg and about 10 days later my pains started decreasing. It was hard to believe and thought it might be a placebo effect or something. I stayed on it and kept notes about it. I can definitely say that (for the time being at least) my overall pains have reduced by about 70-80% which is huge for me. It even helped with the pain of a chronic tendonitis in my left arm. I’m pretty amazed. It may actually have helped with energy levels too but I can’t tell since I started taking CoQ 10 coenzymes around the same time. I hope this helps.
First of all, I just want to thank you for believing your patients. So many doctors label Fibromyalgia as mental. I have seen a psychiatrist and it did not do much for my Fibromyalgia. I have tried B1 but it was very low dose. I will try the high dose. Again, thank you so much.
I’ve had fibromyalgia for over 35 years. I’m 72 now. So I have started with low-dose of benfotiamine and magnesium glycinate and worked my way up to 1500 mg of the B1 and 1500 mg of the magnesium. My fm is I would say about 85 to 90% better. It’s been about three months since I started it. I’m going to try a B1 complex and potassium along with it (according to the video because that gets depleted) to try and get to 100%. Fingers crossed!
wow, i've been searching for this since 2018, i came off ICU riddled with muscle pain and fatigue, slowly getting better but not to full health, i also have sleep apnea, i will give this a go, my fibro specialist told me to go home and listen to singing bowls, the NHS in the UK is not worth its name.
Diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2018, had my ups and downs, prescribed Lyrica and amitriptyline. Deep down I thought this is masking the root problem. After all my research, I came across your channel and cried! This is it, So thorough and helpful!! I will be trying your supplement with some complementary mag, but complex.. Etc. I hope I get some relief, and wean my wsyoff the antidepressants. This is gold!! Thank you! ❤️
I have FM and did alot of research myself. I found that Thiamin is so important and started taking B1 and most symptoms resided. I have also found that the Mitochondria inside the cells plays a role and that other supplements like NAC has fixed that.
Years ago, a sleep Dr did a survey among our Fibromyalgia support group in Oregon. He was shocked to see that nearly all of our results (100s) seemed indicative of sleep apnea. Last week I heard Dr Berg say that insufficient Thiamin (B1) causes sleep apnea. Your video reinforces that information. When I was diagnosed in 1990, they believed it was caused by a lack of restorative sleep. At that time, Dr Bennett in Oregon was conducting research re: growth hormone.
That's fascinating. I have suffered from sleep apnea, but its not obstructive apnea, it's more akin to Central Sleep Apnea. I am waiting for further investigations but this will probably take a long time. I think its time to take a leap into taking B1 and experimenting (and recording) what effects it may have with both fibromyalgia and sleep apnea. It really helps when people comment on these posts to give others an insight into what other studies have been done. Thank you!
My opinion carries no weight. However, I'm just going to say. My casual, recent research indicates there's something here of real value. This might Also explain why my best days are after I take a handful of different "B"s. Edit: I rarely sleep. I nap, in multiples if I'm lucky.
I am so glad i came across your reply im experiencing sleep apnea dealing with fibro ive been doing my own digging i also am a fan of dr berg and peter osborne im grateful
@@magentamagenta1274 June 9th I purchased Solgar Vit B1, 500 mg. I take 2 a day plus 3/100 mg. Yesterday I did stuff! Physical work, I repotted plants I'd abandoned, because I haven't had the energy for years.. I've had some "productive" days. I hope you all try this for your FMS ME/CFS. I've read great things about red light therapy & green light for migraine & pain. After 1 week testing, I'm going to continue. I have not been this hopeful in 15 years.
@ Don Ausmus - seems there are many pathways to fibro. I ran a support group for 14 yrs. I also eliminated all high oxalate foods for 2 years but with no changes, so I put them back, since they are very healthy foods. Very glad this worked for you!
@@meagiesmuse2334Yes, what works for some, doesn’t work for others. People swear by the Autoimmune Protocol and it did nothing for me. Neither did the guaifenesin protocol. I’ve yet to find an answer for myself.
I'm so glad to have found this information...have trigeminal neuralgia, and now also fibromyalgia. It is debilitating at this point. At the same time, I'm pretty pissed at all my doctors for not suggesting high dose thiamine. I've been suffering for decades, intractable pain from trigeminal neuralgia. Just got my Thiamax today, and I can already feel it doing something in my trigeminal nerve.
Try Low Dose Naltrexone. I've been taking it for about 8 years and am completely pain free now. The relief was gradual, not instant, and I've had no side effects at all.
@@ricardohernandezvega8588 I was taking the B1 protocol and feeling better, and then went on a trip and I didn't stay consistent. By the end of the trip I really wasn't taking it. And I also felt awful. It took me like a month to get back to feeling good. I didn't start taking it right when I got back, though. I was having issues with nausea when taking pills and I was trying to figure out what was causing that. Once I started back on it, I started feeling better. But I tried to jump back in to the dosage I was at, and I got hit hard with what I guess was maybe a detox reaction...? So, I'm back to working myself back up. Like I said, finally feeling better. I haven't been able to do much housework for like a month, but now I'm better able to handle it. (Finally put away my suitcases yesterday, and now working on almost a month's worth of laundry.) I don't know if, after you take it for a longer time, maybe you can go down on it and that will work...? I guess it would depend on the root cause in your system. If your system just got overloaded and started down a path like a snowball creating an avalanche, then I would assume it would be possible to get the balance back, and maybe your system could take back over to maintain it. However, if you have some kind of genetic thing that is actually keeping your body from doing what it's supposed to do, I can see how you might then need to stay with higher supplementation. Even then, there's always epigenetics...who knows what we can change, really? My thought is, I would MUCH rather be on supplements for the rest of my life to maintain the function my body should be having, than taking pharmaceuticals that don't increase function, but instead are designed to make me feel like there's less, or nothing, wrong with my body's function. 🤷♀️ If you are asking about Low Dose Naltrexone, I have heard some people can eventually stop taking it and be fine. If I skip a night, I'll feel it hard the next day. I'm going to try to go down on it after I've been consistent again with the B1 protocol for a while, and see what happens then.
@@creatuitiveguru thank you very much for taking the time to respond, its of big value to me and my wife. O wish you the best on your path to living a good life, kudos for enduring these challenges.
Excellent! This is the best presentation of Fibromyalgia and understanding what happens on cellular levels. God bless you Elliot. Thank you for sharing. I will try this high dose Thiamine.
I am so grateful to Dr Uzoya on RU-vid who cure me from fibromyalgia with his effective herbal products, I will continue to speard your good news here in the United States
I do believe that I have always suffered from a deficiency in many things from potassium ,lutein, Quercetin, iodine ,vitamin D and B1 ect . Going on low carb diets and carnivore diets only made it worse . I'm just now able to consume things like nutritional yeast and not get diarrhea.I think eating lots of asparagus ,mashed cauliflower and avoiding artificial sweetners and junk food has been very helpful in my recovery 👍
This is a great video. I have fibro and the root cause is a kidney defect that causes retention of phosphate. I was hospitalized and Dr. St. Amands protocol saved me. However, there are still other factors like these that need to be looked into. But the phosphate retention is the root issue:)
@@sandrac11 if you have fibro you will always have it to some extent but it's phosphate retention from a genetic defect. I'm to where the phosphate is 80% cleared out of my body. I got off all prescription drugs because of this protocol. Definitely order his book, it must be done correctly or it won't work. He researched this his entire career and has helped thousands of people. It's not widely known because the treatment is over the counter. 💜
From thousands of patients they have saved from the debilitating effects of this illness. Read Dr. St Amands book. 4th edition. It's a miracle treatment 💕
@@Myworldmymind908 I did benfotiame for a week and due to me already being acetylcholine heavy I quit when symptoms subsided. When I get to much acetylcholine my body freaks out hard makes me dizzy when I stand up. Also b9 as FOLATE, B6 and B12 will lower homocysteine levels which could also be a problem at least it was for me. To much homocysteine in the blood can cause very bad inflammation in the body, endothelial dysfunction which can increase your chance for heart attack, stroke and bad nerves due to poor circulation. Hope this help brother. 🦍
@@tineeazyabuvall151 I am dealing with Flouroquinolone toxicity. I was prescribed an antibiotic named Ciprofloxacin back in September of 2020 . I haven't been the same since . 11 months now and I still have heavy & numb legs daily , cognitive issues such as lightheadedness , forgetfulness , brain fog , facial pressure , facial twitching . I've been to multiple specialist and no one can find anything.
@@Myworldmymind908 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nMuuCS2h5IE.html Check her video out but it sounds like you may be short of some neurotransmitters and your homocysteine(excitatory transmitter) level may be up a little. She will really break it down and help you out. Anytime involuntary twitching happens that’s a sign of high acetylcholine and low serotonin. Once you raise serotonin(inhibitory) transmitter that will make you feel better and that should lower acetylcholine which is a excitatory neurotransmitter. Also raising serotonin will also raise gaba( inhibitory) and lower glutamate which is also a excitatory transmitter. Try Taurine and magnesium glycine will also turn the body off. They are inhibitory transmitters aswell. 😎
Thank you doctor, for your sincerity and beautiful presentation. I have no words about my sufferings, pains , fatigue , stiffness, numbness ..endless problems and no one believe thekind of my pains.. ppl feel k am only acting.i shall tey this . Hope for some relief and freedom from suffrings of fibro.
THANK YOU so much Elliot! A fantastic presentation, giving much needed help for so many people suffering. I learnt so many new things about Fibro I didn't know. Keep up the excellent work! 👏
@Weird Man - Yes! Many drugs that people with FM take can deplete choline too, to the point of increasing chances of dementia. The stress of being so ill can deplete B5 and cause adrenal issues.
@@meagiesmuse2334 the comment is 2 years old. and i updated with alot of news. people with FM significintly have less magnessium intracellular. thus if they take magnessium they might suddenly get started some pains in legs which uncovers iron and vitamin d deficiency.(deficiency of them were already exist, your not awared until u take magnessium) so this both(iron and vitamin d ) also need the dopamin syntezing which underlying in restless leg syndome. Btw dopamin syntezing is also depending on vitamin b5 . and find out what? if your're deficiency of vitamin D, then you can not produce enough vitamin b5 in gut ! and it effect all things. these all are my own experiencies with my supplements and observing the react of my body.
Very interesting . Thank you . I have been researching fibromyalgia for myself . Suspect my contact with glyphosate was my main problem amongst other herbicides which would support your suggestion of a systemic problem . I found Stephanie Seneff to be very informative .

Mitochondrial reboot/recharge was on my list of next treatments. Good to see this. Been researching this for months. Got diagnosed at OHSU in 2010, age 37. Likely had it 5 yes prior.
I was a patient of Dr. Robert M Bennett from 1990-2001 at OHSU. How do you like the Rheumatology department❓ I lived in Portland 1972-77 the good old days❗ Flew to Portland each year for fun and fibromyalgia 90-01. Best to you. How is your fibromyalgia doing ⁉️
I hope you will do a feature like this on MS and Thiamine somewhere in the future. And can you maybe look into the substance Palmitoylethanolamide? I stumbled upon this topic recently and it seems to be very promising for treating neuropathic pain. It is a substance that the body produces itself in the cells. I would love to hear what you think about it.
Sorry that I'm not Elliot, but just wanted to say I have been using Palmitoylethanolamide for quite a while now. While it doesn't cure all my pain, it has certainly helped tremendously. Be sure to take it with some kind of good fat (fish oil, etc.). I also use it with luteolin. I will be upping my dose of TTFD based on this video. Chronic pain is so enervating!!! Best wishes to you. Love your tin foil hat! :)
@@oldegoatee8450 thank you so much for your input! Your results sound quite promising. The topic fell from my radar as I could not really figure out where to get it in Germany and how to use it properly. I really have to look into it again. Wishing you the best and should you have any updates to share in the future I would highly appreciate it!
My daughter complained of tingling and some numbness in extremities and as soon as she took one capsule the issue was resolved. This was years ago and we keep it around just incase...
Great video packed with information. Your knowledge is astounding. Lots to research to try and understand this deficiency in more depth. Thanks so much.
BE CAREFUL!!! Yeah, all this did for me was make me really anxious. I read all I could about how to deal with the issues that cause that and did what was recommended to ameliorate it. (You can see I tried this and fully educated myself by my other comment.) After five months I had to stop as my sleep was being destroyed (worse than normal) and I was tired of being anxious. I’d given up tea and coffee drinking (I only had one a day). For six months after giving it up, I had to give up tea. It’s 15 months later and I still can’t drink coffee. Also, I can’t take regular multivitamins anymore, not even with extra B2, without getting very anxious.
Coffee and tea can affect your absorption. They are diuretics, which can cause electrolytes imbalance. Absorption is often overlooked. There can be many varieties of causes. Genetics can cause deficiency. B1 deficiency can affect many organs. It’s more common then thought. Rarely checked for. Chemicals in food and drinks has been changing our bodies for decades.
Thank you for the warning. I have not tried it yet, but am very prone to reactions like yours. Melatonin and a prescribed Rx, both, caused me to react as you did.
Please turn in the option for our being able to view an automatically created transcript, based upon closed captions. I see potential parallels to the effects of opiate (oxycodone) induced deficiency in Thiamine
Loved this video. It went over my head at times but thank you so much for giving me some hope. I have recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia after about 4 years of feeling like rubbish every day and in pain in my right shoulder, hip and pelvis, pins and needles in hands. I started with Primary Hyperparathyroidism 4 years ago and had the adenoma removed with the promised by doctors that I would go back to feeling my normal self. How wrong they were. I am now waiting for surgery to remove kidney stones, I also have fibroids and ovarian cysts and I am perimenopausal too. I don't have any energy and I am so depressed with it all. I am definitely going try this. I am currently taking magnesium and vitamin D3 supplements.
Given your kidney issues, you may want to try the guaifenesin protocol/treatment. I have fibro and have been taking Low Dose Naltrexone for it for about 8 years now. I'm completely pain free now (it took a couple of years for me to get to this point), and my brain fog is negligible.
Right shoulder pain is very often misdiagnosed, the root cause can be gall bladder sludge (stage prior to stone formation) or not enough stomach acid, Dr Eric Berg's channel can help. Unless you have now done so I'd hold off any operations, the underlying inflammation will cause mayhem. Kidney stones can be oxilate or calcium stones, treatable at home given the right information.
Hummm from experience vit D3 causes depression in some people. Try sunbathing instead and red light therapy lay off the vit D3 for a while and your mood will drastically improve.
The antibiotic family of floroquinolone antibiotics gave me this beware it destroyed my tendons joints and connective tissue also and I couldn't walk for a yr except to the bathroom.
Hi Matthew , I am sorry to hear this happened to you . I myself am suffering from Flouroquinolone toxicity it's going on 11 months now .

For me, i would try to stop/reduce all/most inflammation first, by sleeping grounded every night, also boost B1 taking Organic Non fortified Nutritional yeast for its B1 and other b vitamins. this is just for starters. Once you remove inflammation, the body can heal much easier. Pain equals Inflammation. Get rid of the Inflammation you reduce the pain, the body can heal once the inflammation is at a Low level. Inflammation is caused by a Electron Deficiency, Ground for Uptake Electrons. Grounding thus reduces Pain, But Grounding Plus B1 work Great together, and a Lower level of B1 is needed due to a Low level of Inflammation from the sleeping grounded. ROS is inflammation. Grounding for the uptake of electrons neutralizes ROS.
Yeast would be a good idea perhaps 30 years ago, not today when everyone is loaded with it. Also, how would you go about sleeping grounded every night?
For some reason so many cases have been treated with HCL not Benfotiamine so maybe ... try a mixture of both. Don’t put everything on one bucket. I seem to get better results myself with HCL so ...
@@tomregan9628 benfothiamine didn't work for my neuropathy, but ttfd worked as soon as i started taking it. Dont what effect regular thiamine hcl would have though, perhaps its better to diversify
Fibromyalgia is not a pain disorder, pain is merely one symptom from tightened muscles, from glutamic acid firing at eg:glutamate at 75% thus gaba is at 25% it is this imblance that is the root of it, through trauma from a psychological angle and an autoimmune condition working in conjunction. Pain is just the only symptom that people say to dr's. Its ones nervous system being on high alert for a long time.
A have a LOT of questions! I bought your Thiamine (even though I live in Denmark, Scandinavia and probably will pay a LOT more 🤷♀️). You mention a LOT of supplements in your other video, and I'm afraid to miss some, or what to get. You've mentioned Magnesium and a B-Vitamin Complex. But in your video (speaking about side effects), you mention SO many more! Like Folate, Biotin, Cholin, and things that I wouldn't even know where to get, because the people selling this in our "drugstores" are not equipped to guide. What am I supposed to get when doing this? (And why haven't you made that 1 pill to go with your Thiamine and contains all that? 😉) Please help. 🙏🏽 Kindest regards from Denmark, Scandinavia ❤
@@EONutrition Hi, Elliot, I just found this/your video. Since it's a year past your post, could I ask, has the "one pill" been formulated, and is available? Thank you for all the studying and knowledge you've acquired, and share with us on RU-vid.
@@dzeky7622 ... They say it's not toxic and your body doesn't retain it and it passes out through urine after doing the repair work, so I assume it's not dangerous... at least not for me, since I'm only experiencing relief. I can imagine my sister on the other hand... she'd be getting a headache and getting sick if she even took a 50mg without very very desperate need. It's how her body responds to intrusion by most meds and suppliments. Currently I have started 1000mg additional of B6 in the morning to have sufficient energy to have some level of function. Time will tell if there is any detriment to doing that... but these particular combinations and doses seem to have clicked with me and seeing on RU-vid how mega dosing is sometimes recommended by professionals I'm not too worried at this point at least, as I am only experiencing a substantial degree of relief from certain very painful and uncomfortable symptoms.
Great video as always. Just wondering if you could do a video on sulfur, and specifically sulfur intolerance. How does the transsulfuration pathway get messed up and what can people who react to sulfur rich foods do to fix / mitigate the issue?
Yes, EONutrition please do a video on sulfur intolerance and transsulfuration pathways. I have heavy metals and they have messed up with my transsulfuration I believe. I am thiols sensitive. Thanks.
I think this lack of "affinity" for thiamine shows we're not just clumps of mechanical cells. For people with chronic diseases after all it is "all in their heads" or "spirits". And in fact our lives whether we recognize somehow suffering or not, are spiritual. I'll probably try thiamine along with all the different supplements I plan on trying but if disease isn't rooted physical we need minds to come together on our spiritual problems. Also, we'll never be free of disease in modern society with all the technological pollutions
Its a very interesting video wery well explained thanks , you are an eccellent teaches and i will be watching more video presented from you🌷Keep up the good job and God Bless you!🌷
I have FMA, and have found the following beneficial: acupuncture (very fast action), D-Ribose and hydroxytyrosol . Victims who also have T2D might like to read up on the benefits of metformin for FMA.
Awesome video Elliott, quick question - whats the best way of mega dosing with thiamine to ensure your not just urinating it out, regular doses throughout the day or a few tablets at once?
According to dr. Constantini's experience with patients divide the dose twice a day. One in the morning, the other one at afternoon. Some people can't sleep if they take any vitamin or medicine after 12:30pm for such patients he recommended to take the full dose of vitamine B1 in the morning.
I’m glad I watched more of your vids . As I bought your b1 but was only taking one at day and one at night . I’m thinking I need mega dose . How many thiamax can I take per day ? Higher dose means how much .? 3 or 4 per day ?
@@robertjohnson3549 Sulfur supplements like ttfd can cause stomach upset, diarrhea, itchy skin, panic attacks and headaches. Some people take molybdenum to help process the sulfur and stay at lower dosages for long periods of time. Not to mention needing extra b2, biotin, and MAGnesium to process the thiamine.
@@tanyakormiltseva8633 The growling pretty much stopped, anyway it was just awkward never to the point of vomiting or something. Also, depends whatvyou are trying to solve, i was trying to solve neuropathy and it turned out to be only a symptom masker, not a cure. It looks like you have to fins the root cause, and the modt likely one is some kind of chronic pathogen inside.
How about if we also think about the pain as being caused by energy stuck in the body from impacts to the body, rather than a faulty perception of the pain by our brain??? For me it makes sense how my fibromyalgia pain started. I was hit by bus in my early 20th, not in a bad way to be totally damaged but enough to leave me in pain. Then I was in 2 car accidents, once in a taxi when pregnant, and once in a collision with police car, then going at very high speed in 30 mile zone. Then My child who’s been through Trauma, I’d difficult behaviour and I was getting hit, punched and kicked every day for several years. And then I got fibro pain. I did breathwork session, where my body went into expressing trauma through movement, ie energy and it was literally moving in a way as if I was shacking the energy out of my body. I felt a lot of relief after that. I haven’t done more breath work Since then, but I’d like to do it more and see how that will help me more. Also when I was on Keto and was taking MCT oil, that helped me a lot and I was super energetic and don’t even remember having any pain at that time.
Thank You for this Video with very thoprough breakdown of Pain Receptors and FM nerve sensitivity. Chronic Pain from Spinal Issues (like me at 71 YO - suffering many decades) . The Chronic Pians from spinal arthritis has erupted into full blown Chronic Faigue and FM - pain and tenderness everywhere. I've seen other research about B-1 and FM. I have also tried, 5-HTP as a an aid in the overall battle with some success (But in Lower doses). I have made myself a Supplement Guinea Pig....taking lots of supplements and Viatmins in the search for the Magic Pills /Wands to eliminate chronic pain and FM. I am hestitant to take 1800 MG of B-1 ... I may try 300 MG per day at first and see if there is reaction. Question: Does B-1 cause Flushing like Niacin? You mention taking Mg as well. That too is a Vital mineral together with Vit D3 , Cs, and Es.
take natural factors flush free niacin. and u can take boron (borax) for arthritis, works great. and all B vitamins shd b taken with magnesium. avoid coffee and alcohol, they drive all the B vitamins out of your body aggressively.
If anyone out there has experience or has heard if this type of therapy has helped elderly or older chronic fibromyalgia pain patients to titrate off opiates, please chime in here or maybe it could be a related topic for future videos/study.
The Calgary Opioid Deprescribing Clinic has been doing this a few years now. The world pain summit has also had the doc who developed the weaning off method speak a few times and I think that is all online. I forget his name. Eventually, after weaning off, you may use suboxone to fully end OxyContin and then move to the once per month injection for pain management. Suboxone is a half antagonist. You move up this dosage slowly and decrease the rest of your oxy over the course of about two weeks. This is after slowly weaning off oxy as far as possible and doing lots of therapy.
I suffered an electrical shock (high and low voltage) with entry point through my head. I have suffered from horrible nerve pain, spine pain, neuropathy, tingling, muscle weakness, etc for a couple of years since this occured. I believe this incident caused a hyper reactive nervous system pain response which I can't seem to find a way to turn off. Do you think these supplements (Thiamine and Agmatine) could help me, too? I've been trying to find a solution and any avenues I can explore are greatly appreciated. Your research seems like it might be helpful. Thank you.
My 2nd C jab gave me a TBI. (Traumatic brain injury). Had to take a couple rounds of prednisone to shrink my brain inflammation. Even my eyes were swollen dry and vision blurry
One question..I started thiamine 250mg for about a week or 2 then got my blood levels tested...I tested high...at about 233. Does this mean I'm not deficient or should I continue with the regimine...will it be harmful to take to much?
Do you find that people with conditions like fibromyalgia use the same mg of TTFD vs thiamine HCl. Or since TTFD is more bioavailable perhaps lower doses are sufficient? Which form of thiamine was used in the fibro case study (abstract did not say)?
Dr. Chandler Marrs, a very helpful and knowledgeable person in thiamine as well. She said there are no equivalency studies that she is aware of, but she would guess it is something in neighborhood of 250-500mg of HCL to 50mg TTFD. She didn't say it is 100% like this but it is a guess.
@@EONutrition Wait, what? I don't understand. The study used 600-1800 mg. You mean that if one uses HCL they have to use 5-10 times as much? Both me and my sister suffer from fibromyalgia and I just need to know how much to take, from either form. It might be easier for me to get HCL. So, how much if I take TTFD and how much if I take HCL? I'm so confused.😄
@@cammieklund 600-1800 mg Thiamine Hcl... the study uses thiamine HcL. my mothr has fibromyalgia , so was jus wondering what ur LDHA levels and Vitamin D are .. Her LDHA levels are on the high end ....and vitamin D low. a simple touch goves her pain ...so does air from fans...
I'm sorry I don't have the time to watch the video now. Do you talk about Benfothiamine or Allithiamine? I learned about our B1 deficiency epidemic from Dr. Derrick Lonsdale. His books are very eye-opening! The Benfothiamine corrected a 50-yr anxiety/panic disorder in less than 3 months!
What are the necessary nutrient cofactors you keep talking about but not explaining? Are you saying it's dangerous to take diamond high levels without these nutrients cofactors?
I just purchased the Ecological Formulas and noticed it is a very small dose per capsule (50 mg). This is compared to another brand of regular B1 that is 500 mg per 1 capsule. Should I be taking a high dose of the Ecological Formula’s, like 1500 mg per day so that would be 30 capsules?? Or is it much more bio available and I need much less compared to other forms/brands?
Most of the so called chronic diseases are mitochondrial dysfunctions. They are not diseases and they are not caused by genetics but by nutrient deficiencies and other environmental factors. According to the individual genetics the cells and the mitochondria will find a way to compensate und to maintain metabolism, which manifests in symptoms that are called chronic diseases. If the deficiency and imbalance is corrected, the symptoms disappear.
*Can you do a video on the alternative types of Thiamine for those that cannot take the TDFD? I tried this but now am dealing with a bad histamine response, terribly itchy mini hive rash, everything itches!!! I took the TDFD with all of the cofactors suggested but the histamine response is relentless even with taking Benadryl!!
When I had to go completely gluten free (I have Celiac Disease) and had to start taking 15,000 IU's of Vitamin D3 daily (I was severely deficient), plus cutting down on dairy a lot - I found that my sinus problems, allergies and general itchiness were completely gone. This has been now for several years. I don't know which one contributed or if all contributed to no longer having those problems but I am grateful that I do NOT have those problems anymore after decades of having them. I hope this information helps you in your journey to good health.😊💖
