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

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

@@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

@@miketexas4549 The doc did say that sometimes a blood test doesn't show a B1 deficiency if it's related to a transporter or absorption problem.

@@LG-wm1nw Yeah I was guilty of almost all of the things that wreck B1 - fasting diet, heavy daily caffeine, social drinking, frequent consumption of raw fish, then Covid came along and knocked me down for a couple of weeks. After that I was so messed up, for four months! After a single mega dose of B1 I felt immediate improvement.

@@miketexas4549 Hey Mike, I have those symptoms for almost two years, had coxackie virus and corona.. I have periods when I can't walk like 500 steps, and sometimes I can 2k or 3k but of course that's far away from my previous ability..Also I have POTS for almost 3 months (because of that I can't walk now outside) and my heart ultrasound is always perfect.. Can you tell me which brand of B1 Hcl you were using? I am planning to start with it. Also, I did the blood test for vitamins, b12, zinc and copper are great, waiting for b1, b6 and vitamin e :)

What kind did you take and at what dosage?

@@LawrenceWhitehead I just purchased what was at my local grocery store. B-100 complex that had 100mg of thiamine and it also has a good amount of the other b vitamins.

@@Beezi.then how do you know it was the B1 that had the effect

@@cyndijohnson5473 good point

@@Beezi.shawty gotcha bro 😂

Same here. None of the other doctors can even describe the root causes

is there any progress ?

Guaranteed stress from a year of broadcast fearmongering over covid along with lockdowns, masks, and antagonisms collectively took some years off of life expectancy for the population.

That is the cause of my hypothyroidism and diabetes . Cortisol I’ve depleted it’s in my blood test way to high a d it’s almost impossible to correct. Cortisol is released by adrenal glands during high stress, emotional stress, I was in a bad relationship way to long daily high worries. Stress releases hormones in. Body it’s kind of taboo, yet truly there are physical life long damage done by this . Thank you I hope for no one to have the illnesses I have . I just try to warn .

@@ladyofthewoods2448 spot on. Thank you!!

Especially since mainstream doctors aren't doing their jobs

Glad he's giving free advice but he should be paid in some way for this. Hopefully he has a book or sells vitamins. If people could only make a living doing useless or harmful work this world would be a terrible place.

@@yuppers1 agreed, when people are so good at their jobs they deserve to be well paid

Hey how are you doing now? Hope you are doing well.

Thanks for sharing. When you said twice in the morning you mean you take the b1 2 times in the morning or your take 2 tables in one go ? Thanks you

My prayers are with you. You need to reed about high dose vit D and multiple sclerosis. You just might find something there for you. Good luck

@@zeezee2535 Thanks. I've been on 5000 iu of D3 with K2 for years now. I'm experimenting with N. A. G. now. It's suppose to help regenerate myelin in studies. It's also very good for the stomach which is good with the amount of meds I take.

NAD infusions are also great for neurological conditions.

@@McNastySlam Between Covid, malpractice and my own level of illness that keeps me from going out I will never see real care for this condition, let alone a solid diagnoses. Just appreciated bandaids like pain control and muscle relaxers. At this point I realize the specifics would only help a little. They are quite powerless with neuro diseases and the specialty drugs are beyond reach. I would like targeted therapy and to at least know what's killing me though. Unlike Michael J. Fox I think he could die 3 times over without seeing anything close to a cure.

Hi there just wondering what N.A.G is

What supplement are you taking?

@@nicolebaxter5141 Migrelief Triple Therapy with Puracol

Sorry I just realized that I mispoke orginally, the supplement has a lot of riboflavin and magnesium rather than thiamine.

@@m.pixley8413 so it is still B vitamin related. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊 🙏

Isaac, any updates would be appreciated

Dour omggggg

Donna, did the thiamine help you ?

Any updates Donna?

Same!!! Please update us!

How is ur pots now

Hi All.... Yes so much better. I have returned back to exercise but still wearing compression, drinking electrolytes alongside supplements. I find the summer months harder due to the heat, but as long as I have awareness with nutrition/hydration/movement and stress it's manageable. The supplements have helped

Who are the best functional practitioners that you've come across? Standouts I've seen so far have been Berg, Masterjohn and Lynch. Most of the others are just repeating each other or rehashing their favorite theory (even those 3 can get repetitive on their pulpits but they are relatively more evenhanded imo).

wubbalubbadubdub Paul Salidino is really good

Elliot Overton's page, EONutriton is pretty good. He dives into more detail about thiamine deficiency and even oxalate issues people are running into now with the vegan/vegetarian craze. Dr. Andrew Saul has a good vid too on mitochondrial function and vitamins. This is a good vid too on autism and thiamine ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oHOBnkiM6b8.html

Sounds like me. After Carnivore diet Last year. 30 years of edema in my elbow, finally went away in that misaligned my wrist due to hypertonic forearm muscles. This derailed my piano skills and I was a piano major! Warped the whole path of my life. Now the firearm and wrist are slowly readjusting and piano is better than ever.

@@kemchobhenchod Dr. Jason Fung and Dr. Eric Westman!

Hi I have fibromyalgia and have many of the symptoms you have. Do you still take those vitamins? and are they still working? I have bad heart palpitations and orthostatic intolerance, poor balance and bladder issues too. How did you see, my doctor is completely useless. I need help.

@@youknowulikeit9589 I will like to know too

@@youknowulikeit9589 for bladder issues, look into Oxalates. He has great videos on that topic. I have mild IC. I have going through dumping phase which feels like shards of glass when peeing.

Hey I have fibro and lots of other problems. I take magnesium glycinate. It took about 4 days 2 in the morning and 2 at night then my heart was not pounding hard. After about 2 months I then cut that to 1 pill in the morning and 1 at night. I take three drops of vitamin b 12. That helps with my energy level. I take a potassium citrate drink everyday, just a small amount. I keep having feet and hand tingling so I just started the vitamin b 1. I am watching videos like this to learn about B1.

Susan Woodward did you start taking B1 did it help you? Thanks

@@blessedloved2517 Yes, I take a B-complex, additional thiamine and pantothenic acid, Mg, Ashwaghanda, NAC, alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin D-3, vitaminK2, vitamin C, ubiquinol and a probiotic. These help with mood, energy, metabolism, but still have major issues with insomnia, hypertension and kidney function.

Susan Woodward did it help with Raynalds cold hands or feet or body chills or musle issues .... I haveboth and I hate it :( thank you so much for your replys

Susan Woodward I’m having POTS symptoms will I help?

@@Alllrise for POTS - at least 3mg B1 in food per day +10g of sea salt per day High doses of vitamin c 3g per day Magnesium- 700mg per day Zinc - 15mg per day omega 3 - 2g per day iron , b12 b5 are important too

Hi can you tell us how many mg of benfotimine you take to feel energy? Ive read it takes at least 1500 to 1800 mg to feel better. Do you agree?

La la la la la, Forza CRAIOVA!

Is that better than nutritional yeast ?

Where do U get that Thiamine??

Is that better than normal thiamine ?

I too have that issue , so I'm glad I found you . I've started taking b1 in a b multi and I'm feeling better tbh .

Not a doctor. But yes.

Doctors don’t have time for this stuff. Too many medications to learn

He is not a doc and he is still amazing

I think he is a naturopathic doctor Which is quite obvious here that it actually does focus on healing and health and not medicine which is all that mds do

Yeah ok but what he and others are doing should be the model for what doctors should be. MDs get less than 2 weeks of nutrition which is awful.

Look into vitamin d3 for sad.

What dose of benfotiamine are you taking?😢

Thanks for sharing!

Yes I agree everything feels clear like a window that's all clean

What dose are you taking ?

How much did you start and do

@@joanneclark8256 I bought Benfotiamine 100mg with Thiamine 25mg, I take 2 capsule twice a day. If I have a stressful day I take it 3 times a day. I hope it works for you like it has for me.

Try magnesium bisclycinate for rls, it helped me

@@DH-ht9pl I went and saw a neurologist and he have me folic acid, Iron and vit D and Vit b and within a month all of the symptoms are gone!

OMG! This is wonderful. To see the additional benefits of taking 200mg of Vitamin B1 - I love this! I'm glad your husband and others are benefiting from this information.😊💖

Weird! Thiamin makes me wanna pee instantly! I've read it can raise aldosterone

200mg of B1 per day ?

Excellent B1 help me. I use go so many times to toilet at night. Not anymore. Great video I watched Dr berg video and started taking vitamins b1

B1 also helps with glucose. (Excessive glucose amount in the blood causes frequent urination.)

Hi have you started?? Has it helped you??

@@queeny4624 Yes, I'm not 100% yet, but the thiamine has helped tremendously! I'm so happy

@Tiffany that's amazing! Can I ask which your taking? I'm taking thiamine monotrate but going to order the thiamax

@@queeny4624 I'm taking Thiamega. It's the high dose thiamega complex. I'm afraid of running out and not being able to buy more, so I'm going to buy more back up bottles next week.

@Tiffany how long have you been taking it? I have pots symptoms with it and the vertigo boat feeling, did you have them too? I've ordered the thiamax now hopefully be here next week 🤞🤞

He also lived into his 90's.

Try Lamberts B100 Complex.

How are you doing now?

@@tanyawieczorek6603 I got a whole list of other issues. My shoulder is killing me. I think many of the issues I'm having now are coming from my spine, bad posture. I did a update on my other GoTimothy YT Channel.

🙏

Oh really well it's responsible for action of the vagus nerve and it won't work without thiamine and no polyvagal theory is gonna fix anything

Do you have a link to your b12 complex or the brand name?

What is the name of your b12 complex?

@@user-vg8ez9cu6u I have a couple i can take. Right now, swanson vitamins 'activated b complex' is what i take, but also igennus healthcare's 'super B complex' might be a little better in effect for me, but is a bit more expensive i think. When looking for a high bioavailability B complex, look for methylcobalamin being used instead of cyanocobalamin. It's many times more potent as a B12 format. If the other B vitamins have super long names in addition, you've probably stumbled upon a good and useable B complex.

@@neptronix thanks!

That's awesome that you already see results! How much Benfotiamine are you taking & what brand did you buy? I was looking at it on Amazon & there's so many brands. Thx!

I was hoping to hear more too

Yes me too!!! I've just had bacon :))

Have you ever lied even once, stolen anything, used God’s name in vain, looked with lust or worse sexual sins? Then you’re not a good person in God’s eyes and in terrible danger of the judgement of God which will send you to hell (a terrible place of pain and sadness FOREVER & EVER & EVER & EVER….). 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). Think about why you’re reading this message (Everything happens for a reason) Get saved today since tomorrow is not promised (not everyone lives to 80+); Enter God’s rest; God is taking desperate measures to reach you all because the time is short. Thanks for reading this message & let me know if you have any questions. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xfLNcBeXKdY.html

Cut out all grains. Only until I did this did most of my issues start resolving. Watch Dr Ken Berry about carnivore diet.

I really like this guy. Love Dr Eric Berg too. Thanks to both for sharing their research with people like me, been gaslighted by every medical doctor for years.

You gave him people thiamine? Or do they make thiamine for horses?

@@tanyawieczorek6603 thiamine for horses of course. This is a very common supplement to calm down horses, you can get it at any tackstore. I think you could give humane thiamine as well if there is no fillers in the supplement (pure thiamine), but its is getting expensive quickly if you have to give a whole container in a few days and recalculate a horse dose is not matter of going by a per kg for humans dose, horses are way more sensitive to supplements than we are. So I just give the special horse formulated one, that also has magnesium and tryptophane. Horses often are deficient in thiamine. Its because feeding them grain depletes the thiamine from their bodies despite grains are a source of thiamine, its why oats makes some horses hot as well imo. My horse only eats hay though, because I dont believe horses should eat grains, but he is very much set in fight or flight mode. Too much, more than is good for him.
