The Art & Science of Mega-Dose Thiamine Lecture: Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- This is the first of two lectures I gave to a group of medical/health professionals on the clinical application of high-dose vitamin B1.
In this video I outline the basics of how the body uses this nutrient, why deficiency is likely more prevalent than it is conventionally thought to be, and how high doses may be working via different mechanisms to improve chronic health issues.

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?
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 🙏🏻
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!
@@benjaminreynolds5727please take other electrolytes in conjunction. And in general what diet do you follow?
@@benjaminreynolds5727 try benfotiamine
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
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.
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
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 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.
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:
So much better when played at 0.75 playback speed.
Speed talking is too much to keep up with
Very stressful
Great lecture
Yeah the video itself seems sped up.
Elliot your channel has saved me so much misery. I share what you have taught me with everyone. Truly God bless you.
Didn’t come prepared??? Elliot you are brilliant and this was 🔥! Thanks for all you do!
You were very highly prepared and your presentation quite professional and understandable...thank you so very much...
Excellent information. Well worth the time to listen to this deep dive into nutritional biochemistry. It is rare to find this quality of information.
Great info Elliot, your work is helping a tremendous amount of people!!!
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
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. 💯💯💯
You saved my life thank you. Cant tell you how my first dose felt today. Absolute GAME CHANGER!
how are you today? still good?
please answer us
did you experience paradoxical reaction?
Amazing skill to present and explain complex topics in a very easy to digest way. Good job as always!
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
Thank you for this Elliot, I have been using b complex & thiamax for a month now & find my fibromyalgia pain has reduced & energy increased. ❤
How much dose
@@umairahsarwar5717 I’m using Thiamax 100mg but the b vitamin complex is Viridian brand
for fibromyalgia pain it's important to eat free gluten and lactose
@@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.
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 😊
Thank you for a wonderful lecture.
I can’t commend you highly enough on the scope, quality & delivery of information.
What a blessing this is!!! Truth and knowledge are such power. Thank you!!
This video was PURE GOLD - thank you! 🙏
If english isn’t your main language, and you have trouble following try putting the speed at 0.75x and turning subtitles on
I had to slow it down myself.. what beautiful information he brings too
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....
💯 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 🙏🏼
@@wizardatmathMichael J Fox is still very much alive 😮 check your information 🤨🤔
@@janettewillis7389 thank you. How easily I fell for that hoax...
I have thought Parkinson’s is nutritional. Instead we spend billions on research because we never look at diet.
Elliot please do a video in future about peptide BPC-157.
OUTSTANDING PODCAST!
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.
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.
What you arnt like or they dont like then look for another doctor
@lynlawley8903 I what said I was wrong. I left out the word look. I have corrected it now. Sorry for the confusion.
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
Excellent Excellent. Thank You for all your hard work and for sharing your knowledge.
Mega Dosing Worked for me..
Fascinating video I admit I perked up when I heard RA mentioned.
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%.
So did I, it was easy too fast, Lol
15_25% improvements so far 🧠 🙏🏽
What form did you use?
Your knowledge helped significantly.
Funny, I just started supplementing with butyrate! I’m so glad I found out what was at the bottom of my symptoms. Thank you.
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.
Thank you elliot for sharing this with us. Super important!!!
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...
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?
Fantastic vid. Thank you EO Nutrition!
If you put your video settings at 3/4 playback speed, Elliot sounds almost normal, - no longer like a very excited Maurice Moss...
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
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'.
Amazing informations! Congrats! You are a great scientist!
Thank you Dr Elliott. Please add Diabetes Type 2 and Diabetes Prevention in Keywords in the description and the title of your video.

Thank you Elliot.
is there a cliff notes version ? I can't get past 1/2 bad ADHD but Ive been taking Benfo 3 times daily 240 and my Crohn's symptoms have subsided
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.
Are synthetic B vitamins like b1,b2,b3 etc. safe?
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.
Your a superstar sir🙏 In this field! Elliot,ttfd didn't set well with me 😮 Benfotiamine works well for me 🙏
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
I think he kinda answered it when he said that nutrients in our food do not suffice in most cases.
Nutritional yeast is not good for you. It’s dirty. Look into how’s it’s made! Toxic.
Cos it’s toxic . Look up how it’s made
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.
Metformin inhibits thiamine transporters, but does Berberine do the same thing, because metformin and berberine have almost the same function? Thank you
I would imagine it does
I have found that magnesium, chromium and B1 also ALA has done so well that i no longer need any diabetic meds.
PLEASE ALSO PUT OUT A SHORT VIDEO … am trying to share to some normie friends.
🙏🏻
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

working on it!
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.
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...

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.

I started taking a vitamin b complex(I thought it's a good idea to start with before taking just b1), and I already have unpleasant side effects like insomnia, headache, and peeing too much too often, and my urine is sort of neon yellow!
I do take with it magnesium and recently added potassium, after I've heard this gentleman's advice.
I have long standing mental health problems, IBS, and as of recently Long Covid.
If anyone has any advice about what I can add to my supplement regimen, please don't hesitate.
Thank you!
Take small amounts of the powder in the pill every 1-2 hours, instead of all of it in one go. That will take care of the neon yellow urine and improve absorption.
Make sure you're taking a methel B complex, because it can make a world of different. If you have the mthfr gene mutations and your B complex has folic acid your body is not able to process the folic acid and it can become toxic to your body. The bright yellow urine is normal and just a side effect of one of the B vitamins, I think it's B2 but not sure. Dr. Ben Lynch is a very good source of information for issues caused by the mthfr mutation.
@@ManageDeMaia thank you :)
@@micaonyx5301 thank you :)
I would consider going grain free and mid-low oxalate for awhile and see how you do. I understand it’s difficult at first but like everything else it gets much easier. Inflammation in the gut prevents proper absorption of nutrients. Also, slowly adding in low dose thiamine and b complex, mag and potassium may be helpful. If you’re taking the TTFD form you may benefit from molybdenum.
Is it possible that thiamine could help chronic skin problems like folliculitis?
This is Carole Z--- when i take Benfo it makes my heart palpate and when i move around its worse....I'm only taking half of a half capsule...I'm afraid to take it...ant comments about this reaction...
Curious, do you take magnesium/potassium along with the benfotiamine?
@@thenae8572....this is Carole Z--- thanks for responding...yes, I do take both of them everyday...
Sounds like low mag, pottasium. You need 4700 of pottasium, and try upping your mag, glycinate, and I also add threonate...big changes. Also, go slow, work you way up
@@kimammons4014 this is Carole Z--- tks, I will...
what about ALS desease? what are the reccomended dosage per kg?
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.
Click on the "gear" icon to change the speed to 0.75 or 0.5
@@EONutrition thanks so much!
Oh dear whats a gear thingy, whats it look like please
thiamine TTFD does not do anything for me. Switching to benfotiamine
Same for me but benfo has amazing results for me, TTFD I felt sluggish and just fluish… I finished a whole bottle with no improvement.
Results?
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!
Why do live in France and not in England, Elliot?
Haha the fastforward speech is great! Works well.
This was intense - thanks
Very very interesting and important videooo thank for what you doing
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?
(Great info) So, if I do not tolerate sulfites in wine or meats, etc, then I should not try TTFD version??
Watch part 2
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?
I had hydrogen sibo and I was able to get rid of all the symptoms only using b vitamins.
@@kylemiller5361 Are you kidding? You took B vitamins and feel better??
@@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.
That sounds to simple
Amazing Elliot. Can you upload the slides aswell? :)
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
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
Do you advise taking TTFD in divided doses? Or all in the morning? Empty stomach or with food?
I dont need to listen more than one minute, the way how he fast he think and how fast he talk is enough for me to know that B1 is a miricle.
I never was 10% of him.
I'm working hard on B1 💪
You can adjust the speed in the settings.
Thats helpfull thanks
This discussion is A+++++
Has anyone ever gotten an opposite reaction from taking Thiamine. I started a few weeks ago and immediately had the worse case of being sleepy I have ever had. I could close my eyes and just fall asleep for hours. In the first week I may have been up for just a couple of hours a day. Great sleep but way to much. not what I was anticipating.
That's probably a healing crisis. Your body is healing and needs a lot of rest (sleep).
Def start supplementing Potassium
Yes. Wiped me out. When I added selenium, potassium, doubled B complex, magnesium, C and a few others it got much better keto electrolytes mix really made huge difference. Hi-lyte keto K1000 electrolyte powder has been a lifesaver. I use half a scoop several times a day in big glass of water.
1 month into this, I am finally seeing my energy coming back and ability to press through which I had lost for quite a while. Everyone says I am making progress like I have not had in a long time.,I eat paleo for the most part with occasional Flatbread of whole wheat or potatoes. Makes a big difference too, but that is a lifestyle I am used to as it reversed lifelong allergies and severe asthma some years ago. Grass fed meats only. Completely different than other mass raised meats which I can not eat due to bad reactions.
I recommend taking electrolytes with it, I take 40,000 volts and seems to balance everything out. The problem I have is having way too much energy and my body not recovering enough after workouts, just wanting to go every day of the week. Thinking about starting on Creatine and Turmeric, I've heard those help.
I actually suggest taking benfotiamine instead. I experience the same when taking TTFD but taking benfo is amazing for me!
I’m wondering if anyone knows whether the crooked eye thing is reversible? I hope so anyways.
Thank you Elliot! I learnt so much from you. Aloha from Hawaii. You explain things v well.
My mom wasn't able to sweat .. I finally got her to take benfotiamine and occasionally ttfd. Recently she noticed under her arms is wet now. and two days ago she said she really sweat alot but at same time was very suddenly exhausted and had to sit in car not get out because she was so weak. But at least she is sweating now.
You are not giving here Vit B complexe along with Benfothiamine ?
@@med8895yes. lifeextension bioactive b complex
Dr. Jorge Flechas said deficiency in iodine causes the inability to sweat and supplementing with iodine cures it.
@@invincibel4007 hmmm... I gave my mom lots of kelp but she didnt sweat until she took benfothiamine in large amounts
@@invincibel4007 maybe some folks would be deficient in iodine and get their pores clogged due to infections? likely more than one reasons why and it might not be the benfotiamine but it seems to be.
Would be very interested in anything new or more in depth you can find about b1 and igG4-RD.
Hi! Just wondering when your supplements will be back in stock. Thanks
So if diabetic struggling to get glucose used, is it low B1 stop cells process glucose leaving you weaker with higher glucose in blood?
Recently had far worse POTS issues, not feeling heat as much im hot wrather, but until 2 months ago feeling much more cold, constant runny nose, very bad brain fog, claudication plus lots more.
It’s worth trying Benfotaimine. I gave my father Benfotaimine and he had instant results. He’s been taking insulin for 20 years and has CKD.
