Vit B1 200mg in the morning got me out of the wheel chair for down town use, very slow walking other wise. Parkinson’s med just started but didn’t do much. After two days of B1 I walked three miles. This has gone on for two weeks with no problem ever since. Try it as you will notice a difference.
Suffered from plantar fasciitis tingling in feet tremors in calf muscles difficult to walk for 5 spent thousands of dollars on doctors they couldn't figure it out my wife Smith hundreds of hours researching and found B1 benfotiamine nttf DB1 started taking it within a few days all the symptoms were much much less looking forward to a full recovery praise the Lord❤
After being on a keto diet for 9 months, I had a checkup of my eyes and they discovered I no longer had ANY macular degeneration so either the VA was and has been wrong or the keto and supplements worked. Knowledge is power!
Honestly, I would give anything to talk to you for 5 mins to tell you just how much this has changed my life. It gave me hope again and that’s worth more than most anyone knows. Thank you ❤
@@emy9272 amazing… finally hit the threshold for B1 and now I’m working on B2 B3 B6 and B12. Truthfully I feel better than I ever have to the point I’ll start smiling and laughing for no reason just because just existing has become that meaningful when compared to where I was a month ago:
I had horrendous gut issues (nausea, vomiting) for no apparent reason. Also insane fatigue for 2 years and many other issues mentioned in this video. A couple of days of Thiamine supplementation and I already feel so much better. Also taking magnesium glycinate and a good B complex. Thanks a ton Elliot, I can hardly believe it yet.
I've been having terrible digestion issues for years as well. Slow digestion, constipation, burping, bloating particularly at the ileocecal valve. Fatigue and brain fog as well. I took 50mg of TTFD by Maxlife Naturals and had normal bowel movement the very next day. It was amazing. I continued taking 50mg of TTFD per day for the next two weeks but began feeling ever-worsening body aches and by day 14 I needed to stop taking it because the effects were too painful, but I had healthy bowel movements every single day. It's taken a week to recover from the shock of this awful reaction. Now I have insomnia. Unfortunately Im back to being constipated and bloated. I'm glad this is working for you. Maybe 50mg/day was too much for my body. What form of Thiamine are you using and how much? Thanks!
Long Covid: could not digest food and had nausea. Used the same as you but also added Quercitin and Glucosimine( I do not eat meat so need this amino). Full return of digestion within 2 months. What I am not thrilled about is my appetite had returned! 🥹
@@benjaminreynolds5727 I actually started with HCL and moved up to Benfothiamine. I had a paradoxical reaction for at least a month as well, so that is normal. TTFD is the strongest version with the most side effects initially. Therefore you might want to take NAC and L-Glutathione with that as well to reduce the sides, as well as a good balance of minerals, especially magnesium and potassium
Thank you Elliot. Your videos are helping to restore my health. Seeing good results so far with Benfotiamine. My previous symptoms: low energy, fatigue, stomach bloating, numbness in hands, inflammation in lower back and neck, acne especially on scalp…mainly as a result of a very unhealthy diet and lifestyle. I became addicted to online gaming during Covid lockdowns. Much improved now
I also had long standing acne on my scalp which resolved a 2 weeks on Benfotiamine as did many other long standing metabolic disturbances. Benfotiamine is really Beneficialomine.
I would encourage people to try different forms. I tried TTFD, with no effects. Switched to benfotiamine, and I can definitely feel the effects. Feeling more body warmth, more energetic, and a bit better digestion.
I started with benfotiamine and switches to TTFD and have had the same thing happen…. I’ll be switching back to benfo. I often wonder if it’s the dose or maybe the magnesium in the TTFD….
Please see my recent post on the amazing, yes amazing results I am getting with 600 mg of Benfotiamine per day and 2 to 3 100 milligrams of B1 as Thiamine Monotitrate every few hours during the day plus sporadic 2 to 3 day water fasts. I have never felt as good as I do now.
I learned from Hormones Matter that when pyruvate turns into lactate, the lactic acid accumulation on the skin attracts mosquitoes. So, if you're thiamine-deficient, it's likely that you also attract mosquitoes.
@@danamadala1793 I believe you are asking if hormones matter when taking B1. As the video stated, testing for B1is costly. B1 is water soluble. Start low and increase as you see fit until symptoms are no longer there. If you’ve taken too much, your body will flush them in the form of urine. Hope this helps.
In my mainstream medicine hospital work we are trained to give iv thiamine to every patient with acute mental status changes. I’m a CL psychiatrist. I think there are many cases of sub clinical thiamine deficiency. Pure encapsulations b complex plus is nice because it has 100mg thiamine
Top notch! I'm assuming if you had RA a year before all the dysautonomia symptoms that could very well have lead to it..... thanks for mentioning the shortness of breath upon standing! No one talks about that. I assure you all that it is REAL and very distressing therfore adding to the problem. 💯💯💯
@@umairahsarwar5717 I’m following Elliot’s protocol using thiamega & thiamax on an increasing dose till I get full relief. It’s improved greatly over the last year & I’m feeling ‘normal’ now. Brain fog gone & I have noticed that if I run out of thiamax my symptoms don’t come back immediately. Also I’m eating a clean Keto diet which is helping keep everything healthy for me.
Thank you Elliot. Extremely well presented to help us understand the biology and mechanism of benefits from this vitamin. You’re a wonderful healer and teacher. Bless you. 🙏✨
Not just if you're not a native speaker. He does not seem to consider that it's not enough to understand the words. You might also need a bit to actually process the content...
Hello Elliot! You mentioned in the beginning of your video “brand doesn’t matter” when purchasing/using Thiamine supplements. I came across a Nerve Doctor who stated most are made in China with Coal Tar and it’s extremely rare to find a good quality product. Please let me know your thoughts. I’ve already ordered supplements from your website and looking forward to my new journey regarding Oxalates and Your Supplements 😊
Wouldn't it be great if Elliot could work with Michael J. Fox and see what could be accomplished. Not expecting miracles but quality of life improvements.
💯 Hopefully wonderful actors like Bruce Willis and Christ Hemsworth that I believe both suffering from strains of diamentia, could have some good results. I've had fantastic results useing B1 thiamine which I got the advise from Elliot... Thank you 🙏🏼
Im definitely going to have to listen to this talk again to really let it sink in and to thoroughly chew on this information but thank you Eliot for sharing your wealth of knowledge so freely with the world. Perhaps if i do start taking B1 i will only need to listen once 😅
I have Parkinsons disease, I also have Type 2 Diabetes that will mean my brain is insulin resistant. I have been on a keto diet that has improved my parkinsons. I have started to take B1 supplements 500mg and Benfotiamine 300mg. I am going to add HTTF Thiamine as well 100mg. I hoping to see more improvements in the future. These videos have given me hope where there was no hope and being able to lead normal life. My fatigue has gone and I have lost weight. The other thing I done is stop drinking alcohol, because i found if I drunk a lot of alcohol my parkinsons symptoms would get worse. Could my parkingsons be down to not enough B1 from too many carbs and too much alcohol combined with the Type 2 Diabetes. Low B1 uptake caused by multiply factors including taking metformin for over 20 years.
@Darkfighter300 I am taking 500mg of salts and 300mg TTFD. My tremor is slightly less. Early days and things are going well. My GP told me I don't look like somebody with Parkinsons.
This sounds exactly like what is wrong with my daughter. At 27yrs old she was hosp for three days from vomiting they gave her an IV of Fluoroquinolones. None of the tests were positive to warrant her being given BlackBox antibiotics! ER, the doctor told my daughter it was a knee-jerk reaction to give them to her! Three years later at 30, my daughter has...nerve pain, Achilles tendonitis, SIBO, and neuropathy she has been down to 99lbs, at one point couldn't walk and needed to be carried, cant work her body has wasted away, and she has chronic daily pain. She has NO quality of life. She can't live independently as she can not do basic everyday tasks such as cooking, taking trash out, standing walking very far, cleaning, and laundry, and with such lethargy can not work. Her Drs have given her a runaround and won't agree with the fact that it was Fluoroquinolone toxicity. She has been on Medicaid for 2.5 yrs and they have had her on P/T for the same with no real change. We have done much research we have been trying to feed her only organic food, spring water, and many supplements we are hopeful as she has gained a bit of weight and is now at 109 but it's a slow go and very expensive. They did offer an antibiotic for the SIBO but insurance did not cover it and my daughter did research that that medicine did not help and in most cases made things worse. I am now at my wit's end and feel like she needs a GoFundMe as she has learned some modalities that may help with the pain of non-diabetic neuropathy. My daughter and I need help! She is a young, college grad and is losing her will to live. It's awful to see your child suffer and sad watching her friends go to grad school. Get married and have families. She sees permanent damage and never thinks she will ever be well again. Begging for help.
I’m so sorry to hear what your daughter is going through! I have been through something similar with my daughter who came home very ill from college and had similar symptoms as your daughter, getting down to 89 lbs at her lowest and had to use a wheelchair a good part of the time. I would highly encourage you to research the B1 protocols. I bought the book Dr Lonsdale wrote & took it to my functional medicine dr. She was treated for Thiamine deficiency and is now 109 lbs and able to do housework, improving more and more. Also, alpha lipoic acid has helped several of my family members with neuropathy. We started with the lowest amount and worked up to the amount needed for results (600mg was the maximum we went to, per bottle instructions). I will pray that the Lord will give you wisdom & discernment. I don’t know that I would go to a regular dr with it. At least for us, we have not had any good experiences with traditional medical doctors. 😢 Best wishes!
First of all, I'm so sorry your daughter has had such pain and discomfort. I will pray for her too!@@IloveJesusJn3verse16 Thank you for sharing your experience and info we will look into this! This has sure been a challenge getting her well again.
I am having the same with my daughter. 28 and just had to move back home as she can’t work, cook or do much at all. She has mercury and lead toxicity. Maybe try doing a hair analysis- DO NOT DO THE DMPS or anything like that they made my daughter worse! She did the hair analysis and worked with a heavy metal detox person. It did help but she was in a toxic relationship and went through a bad situation and that set her back. I think her adrenals are in rough shape. She moved home in the crisis and we are trying to work on it hard. She is now trying mineral rebalancing from a certified person she found on instagram- idk if it’s working or not. She just started taking buspar as she is really struggling mentally. She’s been dealing with this for just two years. You and your daughter are very strong! I will pray for y’all. I have been watching this channel and begged her to start the benfotamine. She’s just been doing it for 4 days now. Not seeing any effect but I’ve read that it can be bad to mix with ssri/mental drugs so I’m not sure if she should continue. We find no help from regular doctors!!! You are not alone though. And I understand, it’s so hard on us parents to see your child not be able to enjoy life and have their own family. And my daughter has lost so many friends when she needs them the most. But anyways- just wanted to say how strong she is and I pray she will find peace and healing!
We need to do a person to do questions and answers so we can flean how to deal with it why would this be happening what is causing it what are the links
Not a form of B1 covered in the video, but the coenzymated form works best for me, cocarboxylase, also called thiamine pyrophosphate, or thiamine diphosphate. It is not as widely available as the other forms. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiamine_pyrophosphate
Elliot man I gotta just say I love you so much... You made me fall in love with b1 and regain control over my life, from the depths of my heart I thank you sincerely 🙏🏼 Also I want to tell you about my History with B1 so far and things I still don't understand at all: For about 7 years I went through hell.. I got diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder and almost killed myself due to the suffering I went through.. gladly I didn't as I was prescribed an SSRI about 5 years ago.. I am still addicted to that shit but slowly tapering off because my life took a second huge change and that was when I introduced B1 in the form of Benfothiamine which upon first try took me to the ER, it felt like I was on drugs, I was suddenly overloaded with energy, unable to sit still and regained the ability to feel things with my hands I didn't even know I lost.. however it was clear that 50mg Benfothiamine was too much as it crashed me immensely, funny enough that my anxiety that I struggled with over 7 Years!!!! Vanished within the blink of an eye.. fast forward one month I tried 40mg Thiamine HCL which first off worked just fine, but as time went by about one week I started to get all sorts of symptoms like pressure in the hand and especially the feeling of pressure behind my temporals, also I developed Fatigue and I was feeling unwell and like shit also my anxiety returned.. so I figured I have to go EVEN lower with the dosage I am currently on 15mg HCL per day and I feeling pretty amazing, funnily I still have some very light symptoms like pressure behind my temporals and I don't know why I respond thaaaat extreme to B1, my anxiety again is gone just like that and I don't know how to go forward from here because I should've mentioned that is already my second try on low HCl because the first try as I mentioned failed after 1-2 weeks went by.. sadly no doctor knows SHIT about Thiamine.. they barely know it exists.. my plan for now is to continue with 15mg ed and just wait a month and then go up 5-10mg, what exactly would you do and do you think it its normal that I respond that extreme to b1? I mean seriously even to 15mg HCL Again thank you so much man I owe you for live and I bow down if I ever get the chance to see you irl Greetings from a desperate 25yo german Edit: seriously you have no idea how thankful I am, you literally saved my life.. makes me tear up thinking about it man Edit 2: you know what else is interesting, the evening that the ambulance took me to the ER after suffering severe symptoms like orientation problems, restlessness, dry mouth, no hunger, confusion and so on due to the benfothiamine they measured my blood sugar and it was sky high, even though I dont have insuline resistance and I am eating very healthy + on that day I literally didn't eat anything at all so far, as I am doing intermittent fasting
I don't think you're sensitive to B1, but the medicine you're taking causes both together! The same thing happened to me, I was also looking for a solution to anxiety because I didn't switch to serotonin enhancers! You need to know that it's very dangerous to take anything in addition to these medicines because they can increase the effect it can be fatal! First, you should reduce your medication to the minimum and then slowly leave it and in the meantime replace it with natural substances! Magnesium bisglycinate, Potassium, L-Theanine, Glycine, B complex (but methyl type) and Benfotiamine work wonders together, they all just calm you down!!
@@MrNapcsi That would make a lot of sense and I was thinking about that as well already, thank you my Brother! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Gladly I am tapering the pills off right now and I am already quite far but I am doing it very slowly. Do you still take the medicine?
@@MrNapcsi, thanks for commenting. My daughter has Mercury and lead poisoning, her adrenals are very stressed and she is going through a lot of emotional stuff with ending a toxic relationship and being debilitated and ended up she’s just starting Buspar which is not an ssri or Maoi but an anti anxiety medication to help her get through all of this. Do you feel benfotamine is not safe to take with that? Any guidance or info will be appreciated!!
Love your stuff and appreciate your passion. I started allithiamine because of you, results pending. A critique is that you speak very fast, I have to slow the playback speed to 75%.
Wow, i've been severely sick for 13 years with mercury poisoning (amalgam fillings) and we know that mercury causes severe mineral derangement. I have 19 out of these 22 symptoms at 19:15 Last week i had severe sciatic pain in both legs for 3 days, then i took 50mg of Thiamine HCl for the first time ever. The pain was completely gone in like 1h and hasn't come back 😲 I think i should give B1 a chance...
Hey elliot one important question: what was first ? Hpylori or thiamin deficiency? Would like to hear your comment, because i have symptoms which different from each other
Thankyou started high doses of b1 hcl with benfotoemine and it started to help . Thankyou this explain alot of whats going on with me . Thankyou sooo much for continued Studie of this .
@@celestine.love88 I had gas , alot in the lower abdominal . Started to watch EO nutrition .he explains a lot about vitamin B1 . I started to take benfotimin and high doses of b vitamins . Took some expensive test My enzymes where very low .still are including Hydrochloric acid . Took time . I am now able to go off b vitamins , also my magnesium and potassium , and minerals in general where down through stress .and bad eating . But watch out for supposed health food . Also I have cute out fats . Need a low carb , low fat for me . , Every ones different . You got to work it out by trial and error .
Great lecture here, Elliott. Thank you for letting us know about the need to take potassium possibly. I have been feeling pretty good lately but have had some edema, so this is vital information to know B1.
Hi, if I am transitioning from 1000 mg of Benfontamine to TTFD do I still need to start very low daily dose? Should I keep taking the benfontamine while transitioning? Trying to keep it short but I do appreciate all your videos this is exciting!
Interesting that b6 toxicity has similar dysautonomia and other neuro symptoms. Only difference is b6 toxicity has muscle twitching. But i wonder if b1 can treat b6 toxicity -- or if it leads to a b1 deficiency somehow.
Something else i have had through out my life is terrible migraines sometimes right in my eye brows. Makes me really suspicious. That's why i have ordered a Copper Serum Ceruloplasmin US Units: ~30 mg/dL SI Units: ~0.3 g/L A marker of “bio-available” copper, which regulates iron. Serum Copper US Units: ~100 ug/dL SI Units: ~15.7 umol/L Measures the total amount of copper in your blood To rule out copper toxicity. Will see. I know your thiamine protocol talks about specific markers to help identify thiamine deficiency issues or if there are others problems.
@@haraldtheyounger5504That makes him more knowledgeable than the average allopathic doc. They're mostly just taught how to diagnose & prescribe a drug or refer you out to somebody that knows what they're doing.
I think that so many of us have non celiac gluten sensitivity like myself. I had alkalalosis caused by gluten sensitivity that also wrecked my digestive system.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Leucine comes in at Acetyl CoA as drawn but Isoleucine and Valine come in through the Transulfuration Pathway via Propynol CoA Carboxylase. BTW, Thank You for this video! I'm getting better every day.
Metformin inhibits thiamine transporters, but does Berberine do the same thing, because metformin and berberine have almost the same function? Thank you
In all the videos I seen of yours you never mentioned nutritional yeast as a thiamine supplement. Other natural paths mentions it a multiple B supplement, I'd like to hear your take on it
How much magnesium should one start with? And do I increase that as I go too? I'm dealing with professing undiagnosed numbness, all over body. Can't feel my crotch, and am burning everywhere. I hope this will have a positive affect. Still have to find the money to remove mercury fillings, but hoping B1 will help in the meantime. Thanks for this info.
For me benfotiamine 250mg+ feels like I have more oxygen too. Any ideas how biochemically it could be anti-hypoxic? Even blood MCV went from 100 to 97... None of methylated or regular Bs complexes gave me that.
At high doses, B1 inhibits carbonic anhydrase. Acetazolamide (Diamox), an Rx carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, is used to treat altitude sickness. The mechanism is a bit complicated (besides the increase in breathing rate) so I won't try to explain here; for more info, google 'acetazolamide altitude sickness MOA'.
At last I have answers. As an elite complex problem solver I have long hypothesized that type 2 diabetes is really a metabolic dysfunction, in particular a dysfunction of the regulatory system and that the manifestions of diabetes are really indicators of a fundamental unknown disruptor. Attempts to treat an unknown with medications and endless dietary interventions is the dog chasing irs tail paradigm. Benfotiamine transformed a lifetime of needless suffering. 35:47
Thank you. You have put into words my thoughts exactly. As my mother would say, ‘I smell a rat’. I have done much research on blood sugar (and nutritional courses) and I knew things weren’t adding up and I did indeed smell a rat. I had various puzzle pieces. For instance I knew from research that EMF causes stress to our bodies, which then raises cortisol. In fact from my research, in the modern world we have constant low grade inflammation, so cortisol is always present. Thanks to Elliot I now know how to mitigate.
I am getting excellent results in sporadic 2 and 3 day fasts, castor oil packs on my liver, 2 x 300 mg Benfotiamine per day and 2 to 3 100 mg B-1 as Thiamine Monotitrate tablets every few hours during the day.
So what do you theorise the disruptive actually is? I feel there is more to insulin resistance based diabetes, than just the body has consumed too much fat/sugar. I am wondering if it’s actually trans fats behaving differently to regular historically eaten lipids . Or perhaps a combination to create a storm. Eg heavy metals and trans fats reacting and creating havoc in the cells, with increasing exposure creating metabolic syndrome. These could then cause vitamin deficiencies and possibly changing internal environment to then promote parasite complications /and or biofilms (infections) taxing immunity and body system as a whole. I can’t see to find anyone discussing this at deeper levels or theories/studies, that are asking these questions.
Vitamin C also has something to do with the enzyme pathways for Glutamate and the enzyme that converts Glutamate to a neurotoxin. It must be a genetic issue possibly with inability to produce enough of certain amino acids, or possibly producing too much. Maybe these people produce too much glutamine, so the body converts it to a neurotoxin, I’ve worked with clients in the disciplines of nutrition and manual therapy and in meditations with them, I have seen Rowan Berry, or Mountain Ash. It’s extremely high in Vitamin C, and possibly B1 as well? I think it’s possible that people with MS could be needing very high dose Vitamin C and B1, and be dependent on these.
My gawd this is important info! I realize there is a lot to cover hear but it's very difficult to take it in at such high speed. There doesn't seem to be a way to slow it down on youtube. I can just barely understand what is being said let alone fully cimprehend it.
I really hope that you can make an updated video regarding the thiamin addressing the issue so as long as some one is taking it, its a crossroads situation here, assuming the adequate amount of high dose thiamin is active and healing the nerves of the organism, the threshold point settles, but vitamin dependancy ? That is quite of a interesting point...
The correlation between B1 and stress is very interesting. I wonder if psychopaths process B1 in a more effective and efficient way, since, they don’t experience anxiety.
Question: can SIBO be treated directly with Thiamine therapy? Or should the SIBO be treated first and THEN have thiamine therapy after? Or should you do both at the same time for the best results?
@@pedrosousa8512 absolutely! I did sibo test by gojiman which was true for hydrogen dominant sibo. I also had very terrible ibs symptoms with that. After a month b50 and then ttfd for maintenance, and I have been symptom free for about 3 years.
I am just starting month 2 on my high dose B1 and am doing better. Really hoping to feel normal again in the full 3-12 month mark. Benfo seems to work best for me but using a combo of benfo and ttfd.
Thank you Elliott! Great job. Do you know of anyone with delusional jealousy that was helped with Thiamax? I’m gonna start my mother on it soon. I will include the cofactors. She has high HPHPA on the GI MAP possibly coming from her root canals. Almost 0 Vit C. Working on this.
I'm also dealing with a family member who's experiencing delusions and extremely aggressive. I believe it's primarily a glutamate issue, praying the thiamax helps. Best wishes for you and your mother- I know dealing with the delusions is NOT easy. 💜 She's lucky to have your assistance.
i have been takeing supplemnts for 40 years and i thought i knew them all but i was so wroung i have been takeing benfotamine 1.5grams per day in diveided doses for just over a week and i am exprenceing more benifits from this than any other supplement i have tryed, we must be so b1 defeciant, note -benfotamine is 100 times more effective than normal B1. i would recomend this to anyone but esp for diabetics or anyone with gut problems. just one question what is the best way to take benfotamine.
Thanks Elliot. Do you offer zoom webinars, I'd like to join to obtain the graphs/slides - to go with my notes of what your teaching. My mom had ataxia, my son has MS. I have fibromyalga. I see that my family may have a dependancy on B1. I've learned a great deal from you. Such hopeful information. I've experimented with B1 benfo at 600 mg & TTFD at 300mg. Feeling good so far, but had to optimize methylation and sulfation liver pathways first. Change my food etc. Oh, ok I see it on your website.....thanks
So I've been wondering about high blood sodium and high chloride levels. I have had this problem for many years. Elliot, I don't know if you are familiar with Dr Ray peat and Georgie denkov. On the ray peat forum, I've been told that this is a copper toxicity problem that is connected to fibromyalgia. Apparently some people have genetic enzymes that don't do things well that is why I am going to buy your thiamine protocol. I've been starting to get the cardinal in the room, as Dr Chandler marrs says, fatigue. It's been getting bad lately. I started thyroid therapy and I wonder if my stress hormones are dropping also causing this too. Also started using an AI and small TrT dosage prescribed by a doctor. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Love all your videos. Keep up the good work 💪
L-lysine stops a fever blister in its tracks. Please research this on your own. I’ve been using it for years. I take 1000mg at first feeling of onset. Then later that day again. Next day the same. That’s it for me.
He does talk about the paradoxical effect in his other videos on UA-cam. You can't have an allergic reaction to B1 because it is naturally in our bodies. You can have a bad side effect which just means you have to start with a lower dose and get through it.
I just started high dose I purchased from his sight and broke open capsule into 3rds first 3 days then I’ll double it I’m flying be the seat of my pants here just guessing. I have suffered with depression bloating alcohol and carb binges . I BS fibromyalgia anxiety no seretonin all gone . Now COPD no alcohol no carbs intermittent fasting 22/2 OMAD Keto adding thiamine high dose therapy MNM helped me so much now I want to try this .oh yes and now arthritis in hip dep3nding on the reader of X-rays. Cervical spondylitis. I was on steroids for years to get my lungs to a point that I can breath with oxygen since I got Covid . I was literally in bed for 9 months recovering . I believe my adrenals and thyroid went crazy. I weighed 103 while on prednisone no appetite,exhausted all the time. So I’ve come back through my own research. My depression was out of control that’s gone since I started msn collagen prot3ins keto and fasting. I’m 118 5’4 67 years young and my pulmonologist gave me 7 yrs to live and wrote me off. Still here and survived Covid at home sheltered in GP.
I was told I wasn’t allergic to Ativan too just a bad side effect. Well when given it in hospital I hallucinate every single time. I not sure it matters if your body can’t metabolize it. Is his speech speeded up! He’s talking really fast and that’s not normal,
Vit B1 200mg in the morning got me out of the wheel chair for down town use, very slow walking other wise. Parkinson’s med just started but didn’t do much. After two days of B1 I walked three miles. This has gone on for two weeks with no problem ever since. Try it as you will notice a difference.
are you kidding?
Suffered from plantar fasciitis tingling in feet tremors in calf muscles difficult to walk for 5 spent thousands of dollars on doctors they couldn't figure it out my wife Smith hundreds of hours researching and found B1 benfotiamine nttf DB1 started taking it within a few days all the symptoms were much much less looking forward to a full recovery praise the Lord❤
What form of b1 did you use?
After being on a keto diet for 9 months, I had a checkup of my eyes and they discovered I no longer had ANY macular degeneration so either the VA was and has been wrong or the keto and supplements worked. Knowledge is power!
So glad that's awesome elliot has helped so many that would of lived a mean nasty life as doctors are missing rhis
Grains surly are sprayed with glysophate dosent that cause probs too
God will greatly bless people like Elliot. There aren't too many like him, and if there are, they want big money
Elliot is the real doctor.
He’s saving people’s lives.
So grateful to Elliot 🙏🏻
Honestly, I would give anything to talk to you for 5 mins to tell you just how much this has changed my life. It gave me hope again and that’s worth more than most anyone knows. Thank you ❤
how are you now? Still good?
@@emy9272 amazing… finally hit the threshold for B1 and now I’m working on B2 B3 B6 and B12. Truthfully I feel better than I ever have to the point I’ll start smiling and laughing for no reason just because just existing has become that meaningful when compared to where I was a month ago:
I had horrendous gut issues (nausea, vomiting) for no apparent reason. Also insane fatigue for 2 years and many other issues mentioned in this video.

I've been having terrible digestion issues for years as well. Slow digestion, constipation, burping, bloating particularly at the ileocecal valve. Fatigue and brain fog as well. I took 50mg of TTFD by Maxlife Naturals and had normal bowel movement the very next day. It was amazing. I continued taking 50mg of TTFD per day for the next two weeks but began feeling ever-worsening body aches and by day 14 I needed to stop taking it because the effects were too painful, but I had healthy bowel movements every single day. It's taken a week to recover from the shock of this awful reaction. Now I have insomnia. Unfortunately Im back to being constipated and bloated. I'm glad this is working for you. Maybe 50mg/day was too much for my body. What form of Thiamine are you using and how much? Thanks!
@@benjaminreynolds5727please take other electrolytes in conjunction. And in general what diet do you follow?

Long Covid: could not digest food and had nausea. Used the same as you but also added Quercitin and Glucosimine( I do not eat meat so need this amino). Full return of digestion within 2 months. What I am not thrilled about is my appetite had returned! 🥹
@@benjaminreynolds5727 I actually started with HCL and moved up to Benfothiamine. I had a paradoxical reaction for at least a month as well, so that is normal. TTFD is the strongest version with the most side effects initially. Therefore you might want to take NAC and L-Glutathione with that as well to reduce the sides, as well as a good balance of minerals, especially magnesium and potassium
Elliot your channel has saved me so much misery. I share what you have taught me with everyone. Truly God bless you.
Thank you Elliot. Your videos are helping to restore my health. Seeing good results so far with Benfotiamine. My previous symptoms: low energy, fatigue, stomach bloating, numbness in hands, inflammation in lower back and neck, acne especially on scalp…mainly as a result of a very unhealthy diet and lifestyle. I became addicted to online gaming during Covid lockdowns. Much improved now
Only gaming addiction is great
I also had long standing acne on my scalp which resolved a 2 weeks on Benfotiamine as did many other long standing metabolic disturbances. Benfotiamine is really Beneficialomine.

@@GretaTurdeau in the mirror I assume
@@UKFISGODLIKE Nice, you got me. Praising peoples addictions isn't funny.
I would encourage people to try different forms. I tried TTFD, with no effects. Switched to benfotiamine, and I can definitely feel the effects. Feeling more body warmth, more energetic, and a bit better digestion.
Funny thing is, Benfotiamine works well for me, but 10x100mg salts form feels different, even though in potency feels weaker than 250mg benfotiamine.
Same for me, I take both now, cause I have a lot of ttfd left (but alone it has no effect, 100%)
I started with benfotiamine and switches to TTFD and have had the same thing happen…. I’ll be switching back to benfo. I often wonder if it’s the dose or maybe the magnesium in the TTFD….
@@christian5707 I am taking 2 x 300 mg of Benfotiamine a day with great results.
Please see my recent post on the amazing, yes amazing results I am getting with 600 mg of Benfotiamine per day and 2 to 3 100 milligrams of B1 as Thiamine Monotitrate every few hours during the day plus sporadic 2 to 3 day water fasts. I have never felt as good as I do now.
I learned from Hormones Matter that when pyruvate turns into lactate, the lactic acid accumulation on the skin attracts mosquitoes. So, if you're thiamine-deficient, it's likely that you also attract mosquitoes.
Ooooh my gosh! For the last several summers, you would think I had placed something on me to ATTRACT mosquitoes!!
Omfg, that's why flies and other little flying insects were always around me 😮
Is Harmones Matter a channel? Cannot find it here.
Checked Hormones Matter too.
Can you share a link?
@@danamadala1793 I believe you are asking if hormones matter when taking B1.
As the video stated, testing for B1is costly. B1 is water soluble. Start low and increase as you see fit until symptoms are no longer there. If you’ve taken too much, your body will flush them in the form of urine.
Hope this helps.
In my mainstream medicine hospital work we are trained to give iv thiamine to every patient with acute mental status changes. I’m a CL psychiatrist. I think there are many cases of sub clinical thiamine deficiency. Pure encapsulations b complex plus is nice because it has 100mg thiamine

Hello Elliot! You mentioned in the beginning of your video “brand doesn’t matter” when purchasing/using Thiamine supplements. I came across a Nerve Doctor who stated most are made in China with Coal Tar and it’s extremely rare to find a good quality product. Please let me know your thoughts. I’ve already ordered supplements from your website and looking forward to my new journey regarding Oxalates and Your Supplements 😊
It doesn't matter what it's made from. What matters is what the end product has or doesn't have in it.
Wouldn't it be great if Elliot could work with Michael J. Fox and see what could be accomplished. Not expecting miracles but quality of life improvements.
Michael J Fox passed away suddenly and unexpectedly a few months ago. But it would have been....

Im definitely going to have to listen to this talk again to really let it sink in and to thoroughly chew on this information but thank you Eliot for sharing your wealth of knowledge so freely with the world. Perhaps if i do start taking B1 i will only need to listen once 😅
Elliot please do a video in future about peptide BPC-157.
Mega Dosing Worked for me..
I have Parkinsons disease, I also have Type 2 Diabetes that will mean my brain is insulin resistant. I have been on a keto diet that has improved my parkinsons. I have started to take B1 supplements 500mg and Benfotiamine 300mg. I am going to add HTTF Thiamine as well 100mg. I hoping to see more improvements in the future. These videos have given me hope where there was no hope and being able to lead normal life. My fatigue has gone and I have lost weight. The other thing I done is stop drinking alcohol, because i found if I drunk a lot of alcohol my parkinsons symptoms would get worse. Could my parkingsons be down to not enough B1 from too many carbs and too much alcohol combined with the Type 2 Diabetes. Low B1 uptake caused by multiply factors including taking metformin for over 20 years.
How is it going so far?
@Darkfighter300 I am taking 500mg of salts and 300mg TTFD. My tremor is slightly less. Early days and things are going well. My GP told me I don't look like somebody with Parkinsons.
Absolutely yes your alcohol and sugar use affect your Parkinson’s symptoms! Stop eating all grains especially wheat corn and rice.

Excellent Excellent. Thank You for all your hard work and for sharing your knowledge.
This sounds exactly like what is wrong with my daughter. At 27yrs old she was hosp for three days from vomiting they gave her an IV of Fluoroquinolones. None of the tests were positive to warrant her being given BlackBox antibiotics! ER, the doctor told my daughter it was a knee-jerk reaction to give them to her! Three years later at 30, my daughter has...nerve pain, Achilles tendonitis, SIBO, and neuropathy she has been down to 99lbs, at one point couldn't walk and needed to be carried, cant work her body has wasted away, and she has chronic daily pain. She has NO quality of life. She can't live independently as she can not do basic everyday tasks such as cooking, taking trash out, standing walking very far, cleaning, and laundry, and with such lethargy can not work. Her Drs have given her a runaround and won't agree with the fact that it was Fluoroquinolone toxicity. She has been on Medicaid for 2.5 yrs and they have had her on P/T for the same with no real change. We have done much research we have been trying to feed her only organic food, spring water, and many supplements we are hopeful as she has gained a bit of weight and is now at 109 but it's a slow go and very expensive. They did offer an antibiotic for the SIBO but insurance did not cover it and my daughter did research that that medicine did not help and in most cases made things worse. I am now at my wit's end and feel like she needs a GoFundMe as she has learned some modalities that may help with the pain of non-diabetic neuropathy. My daughter and I need help! She is a young, college grad and is losing her will to live. It's awful to see your child suffer and sad watching her friends go to grad school. Get married and have families. She sees permanent damage and never thinks she will ever be well again. Begging for help.
I’m so sorry to hear what your daughter is going through! I have been through something similar with my daughter who came home very ill from college and had similar symptoms as your daughter, getting down to 89 lbs at her lowest and had to use a wheelchair a good part of the time. I would highly encourage you to research the B1 protocols. I bought the book Dr Lonsdale wrote & took it to my functional medicine dr. She was treated for Thiamine deficiency and is now 109 lbs and able to do housework, improving more and more. Also, alpha lipoic acid has helped several of my family members with neuropathy. We started with the lowest amount and worked up to the amount needed for results (600mg was the maximum we went to, per bottle instructions). I will pray that the Lord will give you wisdom & discernment. I don’t know that I would go to a regular dr with it. At least for us, we have not had any good experiences with traditional medical doctors. 😢 Best wishes!
First of all, I'm so sorry your daughter has had such pain and discomfort. I will pray for her too!@@IloveJesusJn3verse16 Thank you for sharing your experience and info we will look into this! This has sure been a challenge getting her well again.
I am having the same with my daughter. 28 and just had to move back home as she can’t work, cook or do much at all. She has mercury and lead toxicity. Maybe try doing a hair analysis- DO NOT DO THE DMPS or anything like that they made my daughter worse! She did the hair analysis and worked with a heavy metal detox person. It did help but she was in a toxic relationship and went through a bad situation and that set her back. I think her adrenals are in rough shape. She moved home in the crisis and we are trying to work on it hard. She is now trying mineral rebalancing from a certified person she found on instagram- idk if it’s working or not. She just started taking buspar as she is really struggling mentally. She’s been dealing with this for just two years. You and your daughter are very strong! I will pray for y’all. I have been watching this channel and begged her to start the benfotamine. She’s just been doing it for 4 days now. Not seeing any effect but I’ve read that it can be bad to mix with ssri/mental drugs so I’m not sure if she should continue. We find no help from regular doctors!!! You are not alone though. And I understand, it’s so hard on us parents to see your child not be able to enjoy life and have their own family. And my daughter has lost so many friends when she needs them the most. But anyways- just wanted to say how strong she is and I pray she will find peace and healing!
We need to do a person to do questions and answers so we can flean how to deal with it why would this be happening what is causing it what are the links
Is sibo a major part
Fascinating video I admit I perked up when I heard RA mentioned.
Please consider doing a SHORT summary video on dosages PLEASE! Most of us don’t have an hour and a half to listen to this.
Not a form of B1 covered in the video, but the coenzymated form works best for me, cocarboxylase, also called thiamine pyrophosphate, or thiamine diphosphate. It is not as widely available as the other forms. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiamine_pyrophosphate
The Source Naturals brand has this form
it WAS mentioned
Elliot man I gotta just say I love you so much... You made me fall in love with b1 and regain control over my life, from the depths of my heart I thank you sincerely 🙏🏼
Also I want to tell you about my History with B1 so far and things I still don't understand at all:
For about 7 years I went through hell.. I got diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder and almost killed myself due to the suffering I went through.. gladly I didn't as I was prescribed an SSRI about 5 years ago.. I am still addicted to that shit but slowly tapering off because my life took a second huge change and that was when I introduced B1 in the form of Benfothiamine which upon first try took me to the ER, it felt like I was on drugs, I was suddenly overloaded with energy, unable to sit still and regained the ability to feel things with my hands I didn't even know I lost.. however it was clear that 50mg Benfothiamine was too much as it crashed me immensely, funny enough that my anxiety that I struggled with over 7 Years!!!! Vanished within the blink of an eye.. fast forward one month I tried 40mg Thiamine HCL which first off worked just fine, but as time went by about one week I started to get all sorts of symptoms like pressure in the hand and especially the feeling of pressure behind my temporals, also I developed Fatigue and I was feeling unwell and like shit also my anxiety returned.. so I figured I have to go EVEN lower with the dosage I am currently on 15mg HCL per day and I feeling pretty amazing, funnily I still have some very light symptoms like pressure behind my temporals and I don't know why I respond thaaaat extreme to B1, my anxiety again is gone just like that and I don't know how to go forward from here because I should've mentioned that is already my second try on low HCl because the first try as I mentioned failed after 1-2 weeks went by.. sadly no doctor knows SHIT about Thiamine.. they barely know it exists.. my plan for now is to continue with 15mg ed and just wait a month and then go up 5-10mg, what exactly would you do and do you think it its normal that I respond that extreme to b1? I mean seriously even to 15mg HCL
Again thank you so much man I owe you for live and I bow down if I ever get the chance to see you irl
Greetings from a desperate 25yo german
Edit: seriously you have no idea how thankful I am, you literally saved my life.. makes me tear up thinking about it man
Edit 2: you know what else is interesting, the evening that the ambulance took me to the ER after suffering severe symptoms like orientation problems, restlessness, dry mouth, no hunger, confusion and so on due to the benfothiamine they measured my blood sugar and it was sky high, even though I dont have insuline resistance and I am eating very healthy + on that day I literally didn't eat anything at all so far, as I am doing intermittent fasting
I don't think you're sensitive to B1, but the medicine you're taking causes both together! The same thing happened to me, I was also looking for a solution to anxiety because I didn't switch to serotonin enhancers! You need to know that it's very dangerous to take anything in addition to these medicines because they can increase the effect it can be fatal! First, you should reduce your medication to the minimum and then slowly leave it and in the meantime replace it with natural substances! Magnesium bisglycinate, Potassium, L-Theanine, Glycine, B complex (but methyl type) and Benfotiamine work wonders together, they all just calm you down!!
@@MrNapcsi That would make a lot of sense and I was thinking about that as well already, thank you my Brother! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Gladly I am tapering the pills off right now and I am already quite far but I am doing it very slowly. Do you still take the medicine?
@@MrNapcsi, thanks for commenting. My daughter has Mercury and lead poisoning, her adrenals are very stressed and she is going through a lot of emotional stuff with ending a toxic relationship and being debilitated and ended up she’s just starting Buspar which is not an ssri or Maoi but an anti anxiety medication to help her get through all of this. Do you feel benfotamine is not safe to take with that? Any guidance or info will be appreciated!!
I hope she gets better . I hope she tested her female hormone , any meds.She's blessed to have a great Daddy.
I take no prescriptions. But taking 600 mg of Benfotiamine everyday has really helped my edema and blood pressure.

Great lecture here, Elliott. Thank you for letting us know about the need to take potassium possibly. I have been feeling pretty good lately but have had some edema, so this is vital information to know B1.
Hi, if I am transitioning from 1000 mg of Benfontamine to TTFD do I still need to start very low daily dose? Should I keep taking the benfontamine while transitioning? Trying to keep it short but I do appreciate all your videos this is exciting!
Listen @ 0.75x playback speed = 👍 (Elliot speaks quickly which is great if you’re already versed in the subject matter).
Interesting that b6 toxicity has similar dysautonomia and other neuro symptoms. Only difference is b6 toxicity has muscle twitching. But i wonder if b1 can treat b6 toxicity -- or if it leads to a b1 deficiency somehow.
I have the same question.
I also have this question
How is anyone getting b6 toxicity?

Something else i have had through out my life is terrible migraines sometimes right in my eye brows. Makes me really suspicious. That's why i have ordered a Copper

To rule out copper toxicity. Will see. I know your thiamine protocol talks about specific markers to help identify thiamine deficiency issues or if there are others problems.

How much magnesium should one start with? And do I increase that as I go too? I'm dealing with professing undiagnosed numbness, all over body. Can't feel my crotch, and am burning everywhere. I hope this will have a positive affect. Still have to find the money to remove mercury fillings, but hoping B1 will help in the meantime. Thanks for this info.
I take 400mg citrate 1-2 per day
I take 500 3 times a day
In Andy Cutlers mercury chelation protocol VitC, E, mg and Zinc are core 4 recommended
For me benfotiamine 250mg+ feels like I have more oxygen too. Any ideas how biochemically it could be anti-hypoxic? Even blood MCV went from 100 to 97... None of methylated or regular Bs complexes gave me that.
If you know the Wim Hof method (breathing exercise), I can hold my breath a lot longer with B1 than without it.
B1 deficiency can contribute to iron deficiency anemia, so presumably b1 supplementation may help correct it
At high doses, B1 inhibits carbonic anhydrase. Acetazolamide (Diamox), an Rx carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, is used to treat altitude sickness. The mechanism is a bit complicated (besides the increase in breathing rate) so I won't try to explain here; for more info, google 'acetazolamide altitude sickness MOA'.
Thank you Elliot.
Are synthetic B vitamins like b1,b2,b3 etc. safe?
At last I have answers. As an elite complex problem solver I have long hypothesized that type 2 diabetes is really a metabolic dysfunction, in particular a dysfunction of the regulatory system and that the manifestions of diabetes are really indicators of a fundamental unknown disruptor. Attempts to treat an unknown with medications and endless dietary interventions is the dog chasing irs tail paradigm. Benfotiamine transformed a lifetime of needless suffering. 35:47
Thank you. You have put into words my thoughts exactly. As my mother would say, ‘I smell a rat’. I have done much research on blood sugar (and nutritional courses) and I knew things weren’t adding up and I did indeed smell a rat. I had various puzzle pieces. For instance I knew from research that EMF causes stress to our bodies, which then raises cortisol. In fact from my research, in the modern world we have constant low grade inflammation, so cortisol is always present. Thanks to Elliot I now know how to mitigate.
I am getting excellent results in sporadic 2 and 3 day fasts, castor oil packs on my liver, 2 x 300 mg Benfotiamine per day and 2 to 3 100 mg B-1 as Thiamine Monotitrate tablets every few hours during the day.
@@epicsdrummer2010interesting, how much mononitrate do you take?
So what do you theorise the disruptive actually is? I feel there is more to insulin resistance based diabetes, than just the body has consumed too much fat/sugar. I am wondering if it’s actually trans fats behaving differently to regular historically eaten lipids . Or perhaps a combination to create a storm. Eg heavy metals and trans fats reacting and creating havoc in the cells, with increasing exposure creating metabolic syndrome. These could then cause vitamin deficiencies and possibly changing internal environment to then promote parasite complications /and or biofilms (infections) taxing immunity and body system as a whole. I can’t see to find anyone discussing this at deeper levels or theories/studies, that are asking these questions.
Vitamin C also has something to do with the enzyme pathways for Glutamate and the enzyme that converts Glutamate to a neurotoxin. It must be a genetic issue possibly with inability to produce enough of certain amino acids, or possibly producing too much. Maybe these people produce too much glutamine, so the body converts it to a neurotoxin, I’ve worked with clients in the disciplines of nutrition and manual therapy and in meditations with them, I have seen Rowan Berry, or Mountain Ash. It’s extremely high in Vitamin C, and possibly B1 as well?
I think it’s possible that people with MS could be needing very high dose Vitamin C and B1, and be dependent on these.
Could this vitamin B one be of help for tinnitus?

I really hope that you can make an updated video regarding the thiamin addressing the issue so as long as some one is taking it, its a crossroads situation here, assuming the adequate amount of high dose thiamin is active and healing the nerves of the organism, the threshold point settles, but vitamin dependancy ?

i would recomend this to anyone but esp for diabetics or anyone with gut problems.
just one question what is the best way to take benfotamine.
Your videos are so informative. Could you slow down a touch.
I had to check if I left 1.5x speed on by accident 😅
Some one said you can do that on settings
Is it possible that thiamine could help chronic skin problems like folliculitis?
Thanks Elliot. Do you offer zoom webinars, I'd like to join to obtain the graphs/slides - to go with my notes of what your teaching. My mom had ataxia, my son has MS. I have fibromyalga. I see that my family may have a dependancy on B1. I've learned a great deal from you. Such hopeful information. I've experimented with B1 benfo at 600 mg & TTFD at 300mg. Feeling good so far, but had to optimize methylation and sulfation liver pathways first. Change my food etc. Oh, ok I see it on your website.....thanks
So I've been wondering about high blood sodium and high chloride levels. I have had this problem for many years. Elliot, I don't know if you are familiar with Dr Ray peat and Georgie denkov. On the ray peat forum, I've been told that this is a copper toxicity problem that is connected to fibromyalgia. Apparently some people have genetic enzymes that don't do things well that is why I am going to buy your thiamine protocol. I've been starting to get the cardinal in the room, as Dr Chandler marrs says, fatigue. It's been getting bad lately. I started thyroid therapy and I wonder if my stress hormones are dropping also causing this too. Also started using an AI and small TrT dosage prescribed by a doctor. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Love all your videos. Keep up the good work 💪
Get your iron checked. High iron plus trt can result in bad things
Would be very interested in anything new or more in depth you can find about b1 and igG4-RD.
1:29:54 this diagram you showed here, does it mean that all of these show positive interactions? What about when taken together with AKG?
Thank you Elliot. Can this help with cold sores? ❤
Iodine may help. Apply directly.
@@Jojorocks23 thanks I will give this a try
L-lysine stops a fever blister in its tracks. Please research this on your own.
I’ve been using it for years. I take 1000mg at first feeling of onset. Then later that day again. Next day the same. That’s it for me.
@@christinashawgo6510 I do take lysine but it's not stopping for me 😥
Don't eat peanuts or nuts and seeds that are high in Arginine. U need to up lysine for balance.
Hi! Just wondering when your supplements will be back in stock. Thanks
Please please talk about negative reactions/allergic reactions to taking B1 supplements. I had a really terrible experience a few weeks ago 😞
He does talk about the paradoxical effect in his other videos on UA-cam. You can't have an allergic reaction to B1 because it is naturally in our bodies. You can have a bad side effect which just means you have to start with a lower dose and get through it.
I just started high dose I purchased from his sight and broke open capsule into 3rds first 3 days then I’ll double it I’m flying be the seat of my pants here just guessing. I have suffered with depression bloating alcohol and carb binges . I BS fibromyalgia anxiety no seretonin all gone . Now COPD no alcohol no carbs intermittent fasting 22/2 OMAD Keto adding thiamine high dose therapy MNM helped me so much now I want to try this .oh yes and now arthritis in hip dep3nding on the reader of X-rays. Cervical spondylitis. I was on steroids for years to get my lungs to a point that I can breath with oxygen since I got Covid . I was literally in bed for 9 months recovering . I believe my adrenals and thyroid went crazy. I weighed 103 while on prednisone no appetite,exhausted all the time. So I’ve come back through my own research. My depression was out of control that’s gone since I started msn collagen prot3ins keto and fasting. I’m 118 5’4 67 years young and my pulmonologist gave me 7 yrs to live and wrote me off. Still here and survived Covid at home sheltered in GP.
I was told I wasn’t allergic to Ativan too just a bad side effect. Well when given it in hospital I hallucinate every single time. I not sure it matters if your body can’t metabolize it. Is his speech speeded up! He’s talking really fast and that’s not normal,
Why do live in France and not in England, Elliot?
Haha the fastforward speech is great! Works well.
