I cured my 80 yr old's Berberi with B1 TTFD, methylated B complex, and nano liquid magnesium. All of her doctors piled on meds, poked and prodded her digestive tract, but found nothing wrong with her. Slow motility, acid reflux, GERD, tachycardia, POTS, ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, SIBO, hyperglycemia, muscle aches etc. After I removed all her meds I told her doctors, but they didn't care. They have zero nutrition training just legal drug dealers
PHARMACY = POISON why is the logo of many pHARMmacies a snake on pointing its head in a cup. SNAKE OIL/instead of Snake COIL which is "Kundalini" energy that heals the body.Thats why they (Doctors) use the "Caduceus" more precisely KADOSH or KADUSHeus (Ruach HaKaDush)which is the female Holy spirit laying dormant in most at the base of the spine Etyomology proof: pharmacy (n.) Origin and meaning of pharmacy late 14c., farmacie, "a medicine that rids the body of an excess of humors (except blood);" also "treatment with medicine; theory of treatment with medicine," from Old French farmacie "a purgative" (13c.) and directly from Medieval Latin pharmacia, from Greek pharmakeia "a healing or harmful medicine, a healing or poisonous herb; a drug, poisonous potion; magic (potion), dye, raw material for physical or chemical processing." This is from pharmakeus (fem. pharmakis) "a preparer of drugs, a poisoner, a sorcerer" from pharmakon "a drug, a poison, philter, charm, spell, enchantment." Beekes writes that the original meaning cannot be clearly established, and "The word is clearly Pre-Greek." The ph- was restored 16c. in French, 17c. in English (see ph). Buck ["Selected Indo-European Synonyms"] notes that "Words for 'poison', apart from an inherited group, are in some cases the same as those for 'drug' ...." In addition to the Greek word he has Latin venenum "poison," earlier "drug, medical potion" (source of Spanish veneno, French venin, English venom), and Old English lybb. Meaning "the use or administration of drugs" is from c. 1400; th 13Love for going against DEMONS , poison , sorceress, SOUL-LESS entities who put money before the well being of others.
I was diagnosed with Covid long haul syndrome. 44 years old, healthy, no underlying conditions. I was bedridden for 4 months. After megadosing b1 for a week, I was 100% cured. It's truly a miracle, I thought I was going to be sick forever.
@@RedRedux No mine was different, well beyond malaise. I literally couldn't stand up for more than five minutes, or remember or think about anything. My breathing and pulse were out of control. It turns out that the list of symptoms for long haul and thiamine deficiency are almost identical. Makes me wonder how many people out there are suffering unnecessarily when the solution could very well be sitting in their medicine cabinet.
@@AbraboGeno I fasted for 10-12 hours a day and stabilized my mast cells. Low histamine foods, nutritional yeast, more salt not less and good hydration. Don't buy any expensive vitamins they don't do anything food can't do and usually food is more bioavailable anyway. Raw onions and Red apples if you can get them.
I tried everything to improve my sleep, and I tried magnesium glycinate, but it did not work, and I even changed my food to healthy food, but when I used vitamin B1 in the form of benfotiamine, my sleep changed amazingly for the better. I do not know the exact reason, but even those who spoke about the benefits of vitamin B1 did not talk about it. About this benefit!
UA-camrs have helped so many people who get treated by doctors as if they're in a sheep dip. I hate doctors and hospitals, the first and last thing they do is try to get rid of you. Honestly, it's only when I get upset and angry that they begin to listen, but here's the thing: they STILL don't do their damn job. I'm sick of explaining simple symptoms to then see a giant question mark appear above the so-called doctor's head (I could punch them all, USELESS!) UA-camrs, on the other hand, have saved my health, possibly they even save lives, I'm sure. Well done
I know that most people get thiamine deficiency from alcohol use, but I got it during a period in my life when I was anorexic. When I got to the hospital they were pumping me full of so many vitamins but the doctor was most concerned about the TD (thiamine deficiency). I was seeing what looked like sparks in the sides of my eyes, kept saying I was 5 years younger than I actually was, and was just confused in general. I was in the hospital for about a month with and IV giving me vitamins and mainly B1 everydy. when I got out, I was still prescribed to take 300mg a day in pill form. I was totally coherent again, no more sparkles in my peripheral vision, felt genuinely good and less depressed. When I researched it, I couldn't believe how much I had to take to get my levels back to normal. That was a couple years ago, Im healthy now but I still take a thiamine supplement pill everyday.
Good luck to you! Thank God you're out and ok now! I'm on it also and I feel it's helping already after nearly3mnths and I will up the dose soon! My love to you! As a fellow lady I also had body dismorphic tendencies all my life! Hugs2u!!💖💖🧚♀️🧚♂️🙏🏿👋
Hi Elliot, you're quickly becoming one of my favorite UA-camr. True story I decided to take thiamine about two weeks ago after watching your videos on and off about a year. I was hoping it would help with peripheral neuropathy in my feet which it did. But after taking 600 mg of benfotamine twice a day I realized on day two that I wasn't losing hair any more. I'm a 60 yr woman who's been going bald no matter what I did for 40 years. I've seen countless doctors who told me a bunch of nonsense why I was losing my hair. I've heard Biotin which never helped me at all was supposed to be good for HL, but I never heard about B1 for HL. I'm very fit eat organic food not much junk food and take lots of top of the line supplements. Vitamin B1 is the only thing that's made a difference. I've gone from 2-300 hundred strands which was very weak and thin a day to 0-10 strands a day. I would love to hear your thoughts, thanks for all you do.
@@foxyauragems6146 Probably organic green vegetables. I juice celery every morning and take a second juice for lunch w/cucumber,cilantro,Swiss chard,red bell pepper,lemon and a pinch of cayenne and it’s amazing! Then a huge raw salad for dinner or a stir fry w/onion,bok choy,broccoli,carrot,zucchini and yellow squash.
Megadosing B1 , as You suggested Elliot , fixed my acid reflux in just 43 days . Had been on medication for past 20 years . 13 months now with no heartburn or reflux and eat anything and everything . You are Helping People Elliot ! I am grateful for the correct information an Appreciate You and what You are doing ! My doctor would NOT even talk to me about B1 an only suggested that I keep taking the Meds. . . . as I was showing him charts of vitamins that we corrected this condition with . Thank You so much ! We are spreading the word but it's remarkable how many people just will not open their minds to this priceless information. Programming and Conditioning wins out to 90% who think that someone else is going to take care of them.
So many of us w your experience, but few find solution. How much, how long what kind? Any thjng more you can offer from experience would be helpful. Think I've had long enough to effect all systems. Literally like slowly dying. My Dr. Said labs looked ok. Basic. That was enough for her. I couldn't stand or function or eat or sleep restful. But labs looked OK.
I had sudden onset peripheral neuropathy in January 21, chilblains with ulcers that lasted for several months, Raynauds in fingers, high resting pulse rate, constant sweating under arms/groin, pins and needles in hands, blue skin on extremities when cold. I knew it was nerve (parasympathetic/sympathetic) related because my left middle toes and right middle fingers were worse, and were bad together. Doctor was clueless, said..”it was just one of those things that happen “. Came across a Dr Berg video on Benfotiamine and Alpha lipoic acid. Started taking them in May 21, noticed an improvement almost immediately. Now October 21, about 80% cured. Just recently came across Elliot’s videos (wish I had seen them sooner) and have started taking TTFD and sulbutiamine. Thank you for this video.
I had a severe case of thiamine deficiency. I started with basic thiamine and it helped but didn't fix it. I tried Benfothiamine and it was a miracle to me until I found your channel and Thiamax. I'm on my second bottle and I haven't felt this good in three years.
Hi Elliot, I thank God for leading me to your videos. I was suffering terribly and by taking Allithiamine I am having an amazing recovery. Thank you for helping me and helping so many people worldwide out of the goodness of your heart. May God Bless You Always. 🙏
I really like this delivery style! Clear - direct - focused - quite short - and excellent graphics. Thanks for your excellent work. I'm just pulling out from a long oxalate detox that transitioned into thiamine deficiency. My many mysterious symptoms are progressively resolving. Your (and Sally K Nortons) guidance and advice has been (literally) a life saver!
@@EONutrition hi Elliot I love listening to your videos and this has happened to me. After so much stress I had taken B1 supplementation and after three weeks my whole body calmed down. The other thing is that my tension headache hasn't resolved despite the fact that I know it's a nutritional deficiency after so much trials that I went through. Should I still wait or is the vitamin B1 supplementation just done
@@ifweonlyknew9016 500 mg a day for 2 months then 250 mg a day afterwards the usual 70 mg maintenance dose wasn't enough do alot of research before hand
Dr Elliot, you have a new subscriber here. Thank you for this information you're putting out. I started taking vitamin B1 because I was having night terrors every night for years. I hated it. I got the vitamin b complex solution. And it stopped the night terrors!! That blew me away! Even though it was Dr Eric Berg that pointed me in that direction, I'm getting more info about this from you and I really appreciate it man, you don't even know... God bless you 🙏🏿❤️ keep up the good works. You will be rewarded because you show you care about your fellow human 💋💋💋
@@binathere2574 He's selling so many " special supplements" now that I know have zero respect for him. It's clearly about the money. A lot of his supplements like his electrolytes supplements contain the same ingredients with different names 😞
@@micaonyx5301 I believe Elliot is making specialised and quality supplements for those who want them. No one is twisting anyone's arm to purchase them. There are so many crap supplements on the market. I'm thankful .
Wait, thiamine deficiency causes night terrors too? I have night terrors and disturb my household/disrupt their sleep at least 2 times a week! I have been looking into the thiamine deficiency because of an almost non existent appetite and when looking for natural appetite stimulants thiamine comes up. This is just so WOW for me!!!
I was feeling exhausted, feeling cold (with bone pain) in the most extreme heatwaves, and dealing with a lot of these nonspecific symptoms. I ran across thiamine information and decided to try 250 mg benfotiamine daily. Within days the pains started going away and I did start feeling better. My bloodwork now is decently within range, though I feel that this is one supplement I will continue for a very long time.

God bless you sir! You saved my life. I'm positive I had a fairly bad B-1 deficiency before I got B-Cell lymphoma in my thyroid. After chemo/radiation, I had all the symptoms of dry beriberi. Of course, I never knew about how to take thyroid medication (levothyroxine) and obviously, my endocrinologist didn't tell me anything. I had CFS, IBS, insomnia, Raynaud's, BPD like symptoms, MDD...you name it. Matcha green tea and B-1 gave me my life back! I love you man. You are exposing the greatest medical scandal, conspiracy and misinformation campaign of all time. Ever wonder why B-12, B complex and B-6 supplements are everywhere and added to "energy" drinks...but B-1 supplements are comparatively rare and usually only found on Co-Op shelves? I know why...
@@boomerang0101 it can help fix gut issues in a probiotic way. Matcha has way, way more EGCG and L-theanine than brewed tea. Also, there's some evidence that matcha can help rebuild the mylan sheath on especially the Vagas nerve.
@@MrScatalog cool. Bro I started taking 100mg b1 (benfotiamine) everyday since a month and my weight has finally started to go down and I no longer feel lethargic.
I absolutely believe this is true. Beriberi isn’t just an issue on remote Asian islands. Im a 41 year old American woman with borderline anorexia and alcoholism so I can believe I have a lot of deficiencies.
I’m definitely going to pile on the B1. I’m 83. In 2002 I had an episode when the muscles in my abdominal area started to contract and release at the rate of 2 times/second. Very painful. Ambulance to ER, shot of Valium. Stopped. This happened several times…one of the ‘mystery’ illnesses. Everything from MRIs to acupuncture. Nothing worked. Found Lyrica and relief. It interrupts the signal from the brain to the muscle but condition persists. We’re calling it myoclonus for convenience. I’ve been searching for 20 years. This could be it. Fingers crossed. Thank you!
@@KKing55 It was my grandfather. Sadly he is no longer with us, he died waiting for the B1 to arrive. He had ordered it and been waiting 5 weeks (we are in an island near Alaska so shipping takes long). The B1 arrived 2 days after his death. RIP grandad.
Dr. Elliot! I already followed you and love your content but I just saw your participation in Objective: Health and I was so happy to see you and hear your insight! Thank you for standing for Truth. Much Love Canada 🇨🇦
Im going out of my mind, literally. I was diagnosed with M.E 2 years ago after suffering for 5 years. Mast cell problems, POTS, joint pain, tingling and numbness, dizziness, chronic ibs symptoms, gerd, hormone issues, mood problems, the works! Last year i became ill with my back, i had cauda equina, twice! Two surgeries. Fast forward to march this year and ive started with chronic muscle fasciculations and cramps. Never had them before. I saw a neurologist who said im fine lol I'm really not! Things don't just happen for no reason so i find myself here.....is it Lyme, mold, heavy metals, vitamin deficiency.... it's consuming my life, i just want to feel well again 😢
Just keep trying things, I’ve had chronic fatigue/fibro for ten years and recently felt better with magnesium malate and the thiamine supplement recommended here.
Brilliant Elliot! I've been watching all of your videos, finally coming to the knowledge of the truth when it comes to my hyperactive thyroid. Thanks!! You made my week, my month!
This is so good Elliot. This format is perfect. You made the right decision making this video. It will be the most viewed video on thiamine and vitamin B for sure.
Great information! Personally, I fixed my intestines with 100mg daily of allithiamine (ttfd). I fixed decades of sluggish, sometimes completely stagnant digestion with this stuff. No GP I went to ever knew about it, I found out from videos like this one. If your guts don't work properly it may be well worth trying!
@@mariempavon2916 Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulphide, the synthetic counterpart of Allithiamine. I found the brand Monoherb from Amazon worked best for me.
@@xenajade6264 that’s brilliant! Although I’ve taken Thiamine on & off over the years I never, until now, equated it with better digestion. However over the last few weeks my digestion nosedived (as it does from time to time), & pretty much ground to a halt. Gastritis, horrendous & very painful gas & bloating, & constipation. But picking up on the gastro connection made me dig the Thiamine out again - & within 3 days things have improved dramatically in the digestion department. I suspect getting, or absorbing enough Thiamine has been an issue for me for decades. Poor gut function, IBS, Candida & fungal issues, parasites, malabsorption, slow stomach emptying/Gastroparesis, GERD/Acid Reflux/Silent Reflux, hair loss, inability to lose weight, lactic acid issues, 20 years of hypoglycemia followed by diabetes 23 years ago & low energy for over 50 years can all be linked to functional Thiamine deficiency.
My current plan WRT B1 is to start with Benfotiamine and work my way up to 900-1050mg per day (150mg caps from country life). Then switch to TTFD at 1 per day and work my way up to 3-4 per day. I will also take a good array of supporting nutrients as per your previous video, including other b vitamins. I'm looking to take my health up another level to be the best ever (ever). I stopped taking b-complex a couple years ago b/c it was giving me nerve pain, and I read that too much b-complex can cause that. Nerve pain went away, but now I don't have the most optimal energy levels, and my sleep is sometimes challenged. Sleep is improving with taking glycine at night as well as inositol during the day. I already take a lot of magnesium, and I'll add L-theanine at night to help the sleep improve as well.
I'm so underweight and I have been advised I have subclinical hyperthyroidism, my Dietitian has recommended 100 mg per day of thiamine. Thanks to You I know that's not enough especially if it's not the fat soluble form. Thanks for your work. It's amazing.
Thank goodness I found this! I was listening to an interview with some gal and she interrupted you so often I couldn't listen anymore and searched for another video. Thank you!!
So grateful that I found you! I've noticed improvement in 48 hours from gastro and brain singers. 100 mg ttfd. Gone. Will continue for a long time.❤ You are amazing, thank you!!
This is truly amazing stuff ... and reading the comments shows it is helping lots of people recover ... next we will turn of TV and see anti-B1 propanganda ....
Thank you so much I watched your vids a year ago and started taking mega doses of b vitamins with benifortimin three times a day . My gut is healing . Need to take with other methylation nutrition too .thank you ,Eliot for doing this .
I knew my dad was thiamine deficient after years of alcohol abuse, NSAIDS, malnutrition and celiac. I convinced the doctor to give him injections but after they ended he only took 100mg benfothiamine sporadically and eventually developed seizures (which was all his doctors would ever focus on). They had no answer for his abrupt cognitive decline, balance issues and swelling of his feet and legs went on for a year with no doctor listening to me. He died in his sleep from congestive heart failure (and subsequent heart attack) a few months ago. I could puke. It makes me so mad. Doctors in Canada don’t care because they have no time to care. I personally have been waiting 8 months for a CTA to check on a dissecting aneurysm in my carotid artery (after both of my carotids tore spontaneously last year). Also of note, I was never even admitted to a hospital with a 100% blocked left carotid and a 70% blocked right one at the same time. Sometimes I hate this country. I used to sing the praises of our healthcare but now I’m disgusted. And just plain sad. My dad could have lived and didn’t need to lose his life at 71.
I had essential tremor so bad that I looked like a Parkinson's patient some days. I read an article about tremor patients being successfully treated with mega doses of Thiamine, so I decided to try it. I got just the 100mg Solaray Thiamine from my local health food store and took 1,600 mg of it in two split doses. The tremors stopped, the sensation in my fingers of how things felt completely changed, all of my lifts in the gym felt stronger and more stable and I felt sharper. Now, the question is, what is the magic dose in order for me to maintain. Or do I just dose it according to symptoms.
@@TheMiriam333 lower the dose for a while and add B2 or B3 or alpha liopic acid with the thiamine to have more balans. Look for paradox reactions on the internet. They will fade out after a couple of days-weeks
Juat out of curiosity i brought b1 & b3 higher dose to take. I will say i have generally had a poorer memory that others.. sometimes feeling like a foggy blockage. The b vitamins have really made a noticeable difference to that
I just bought your PDF. I thought i should pay forward. You have so much knowledge. I am suffering from low iron, SIBO, slow gut motility. After endo surgery, i aaa hoping to resolve my gut issues. I am going to give this a chance and see if i can cure myself as my gastro doesn’t think low iron is bad or even Methane SIBO is bad.
I have the feeling that in most cases, the real problem is not nutrient defficiency but inhibition of nutrients, as well as inability of the body to process them.
I would marry you if I was not married. I work the same way here with patients...searching the causes of everything. When I see your videos is like I see my own toughts. Bizarre but awesome!
In my childhood days, rice was unpolished. When I was too little, my mother took me the mill, where rice is polished. This might be 1973. From 1975 polished rice started in our area. I enquire many grocery stores, to provide unpolished rice, but they say, it is not available.
Sir 5 year ago, I got constipation problem. Every pathy Dr. Prescribe laxative, but no tell me that this is due to Thayamin defeciency. I have a book of vitamin. One day I read in it that long term constipation I's due to defeciency of B1. It is also mentioned that refined sugar is the cause. Also, B1 is necessary for brain. I got actual reason of my problem. From then, I start eating brown rice, which contain B1 in plenty. My all problems solved. Now, that brown rice is not available. So, I enquire about Thayamin tablet. But, many chemist from my town and near by city told, such product, we do not seen. Lastly, I told my son to see this tablet in a medium size metropolitan city. He enquire, but many told not available. He then met a chemist where, he always purchase medicine, when he was in college. The chemist was kind enough and told my son that till night, he will bring Thayamin tablet from whole seller and will give him. In India, hospital is that cruel business, they (drs) want the patient should come to them, after every couple of month. This, is proved many times.
I have never heard of benefits of B1 before, but seeing this video & reading the comments is really eye openning. So is it safe to take B1 alone or with other B vitamins? What form/name of B1 to use? Thank you for the video & info, this might help tons of ppl 🙏😌
Great video Elliot! Your information on thiamine and megadoses has been really important to me and wanted to thank you. I’ve just started reading: Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition So hope to learn even more.
In food it always comes with plenty of magnesium (200:1), and it's impossible to get more than 2mg unless you eat pork or salmon. At the same time, both magnesium and thiamine are contained in sufficient quantities in most foods. Chicken and horse feeds are not supplemented with B vitamins. My hypothesis is that thiamin and magnesium are twins. You need to keep the ratio within a narrow range, or things go awry. Both thiamine and magnesium are universal in all natural foods, and the average ratio is about 200:1, so 400mg: 2mg daily. If you supplement one, you also need to match the other, in that ratio.
Your comments make me think how accurate the RDIs are. We need 1.2mg per day, they say. These guys supp way beyond this. I get about 2mg a day, and I still wonder if B1 supp can also give me the miracles like so many are saying. (My issues are trouble digesting protein and slow gut motility).
I'm on it since ur vid I saw maybe4mnths ago! I'm not even3mnths on it yet!

Hey Elliot I was wondering if you could do videos on allergies (I have a severe dust mite allergy) and if there is any relation to thiamine or other deficiency? And also histamine intolerance. Thanks! -David
Allergy I heard were linked to vitamin D (stop immunity from overreacting) and some people suggest Zink (linked to immunity, can be depleted by ingredient in sodas like cola or Pepsi, it also depletes magnesium). Some people suggest exposure therapy. Low dosage exposure to allergen. But it can dangerous, you need to consult doctor about it.
@@kotenoklelu3471 hey thanks for the reply! I actually have very high Vit D and Zinc levels, and have tried the low dose allergy shots as well as drops but that actually just made things worse. Magnesium does seem to help with some other issues but not the allergies etc...
Low Calsium raises histamin levels in your body. Be sure to take K2 when adding vitamine D otherwise calsium won't reach your cells but stay in your blood vessels. Calsification is dangerous. Vitamine D raises the calsium uptake twenty fold.
Good vid, however (and I am taking B1 [benfotiamine] in daily doses of 600 mg to handle drop foot -it did) to get the full benefit of this, in addition to taking 2-3 b complex tablets a day, I take 3-4 heaped teaspoons of brewers years (high in other b vits, enzymes and cofactors). Per Adelle Davis in her book "Lets Get Well" neuritis was only healed in case studies she saw when they were given yeast in addition to B complex tablets with the B1; b1 and b comp without yeast did not do the trick. Per Adelle it is always a good idea to keep supplements balanced as so many nutrients work together that an excess in one can create deficiencies in others. My sense of balance has recently improved and, after having read some of the successes below, I am considering going up for 3-4 months (have been taking 600 mg for 12 months) to 900 mg. If this is in excess of what I need as it is fat soluble (benfotiamine) I am assuming the liver will store it.
@Mark Whatever I'm wondering if it might relate to the MTHFR gene mutations. I have 2 of the Bad gene, causing my detox to be at 30% normal. And I do not Methylate the B's there for have to take a methylated form.
Thiamine deficiency has severely damaged this world. People locked in chronic fight-or-flight (due to Thiamine deficits) have strong, but erroneous, feelings that their behavior is normal, when it is just dysfunction. They see it to their left and right, and conclude that their feelings, thoughts, and actions are normative (when it is merely widespread group dysfunction). This is particularly troublesome in societies which have made alcohol abuse and alcoholism tantamount to idolatry. Those people are profoundly misguided and sad, and they try to assert that destroying themselves through the excessive consumption of that molecule (alcohol) is somehow a strength. The real issue is that they are afraid to admit that they are wrong, and are on the road to self-destruction. How “manly” or “strong” is someone laid low, and having surrendered their free will to an inanimate object (a freaking molecule)? Zero. It is very oddly arrogant and weak simultaneously.. The answer is to take B-vitamins, exercise, speak to a good nutritionist, and throw out all of your drugs and alcohol, and learn how to be humble.
@@EONutrition So what are the specific symptons of B1 deficiency? I’m a 75 yr female but none of my drs can determine why I have gone from a size 8 to a size 2, have IBS-C, can’t sleep more than 4 hrs-6 hrs a day, 3 hosp stays since 5/2022, went from 124lbs in 3/2022 to 93 lbs in 1/2023.

I've been taking magnesium for years, but always got stomach pains. I think the citrate form really bothers me and the others just don't do much. 1.5 years ago I switch to ReMag, a pico-ionic MgCl form with works wonders. It is stated to be 99% absorbed at the cellular level without gut distress. I take 600-900mg a day along with other minerals. But ReMag is the best magnesium I've ever used!
5 years of CIRs from mould hence very low ADH. As a result I can't keep fluid in my body. I imagine that is how I became B1 deficient. A few days of B1 drops and my brain works again and I have energy....amazing
Thank you for sharing this video, very informative. I’ve had long Covid for 18 months and only just wondering if I may be deficient in thiamine… I have zero tolerance to any food, histamine, oxalate and sulphur issues along with multi organ dysfunctions (heart, lungs, stomach - hurrendous reflux, the list is endless). I’ve lost far too much weight I’m only 7st. It is so scary. My question is, what form of thiamine is best?
If I was suffering all those symptoms I would use any form I could get my hands on. If it doesn’t work after 2 weeks try to change dose or different form of thiamine
Appreciate the videos bro just bought thiamax alongside zinc magnesium complex etc would love shorter bite sized videos in layman's terms considering most people suffering fatigue and brain fog probably would struggle with a 60 page manual or mostly 30 min videos. Guidline dosage for mega dose and is less needed for ttfd 100mg tablets. Thanks 😊
Hey! Thanks for the feedback. This video is a few years old and my recent videos are simpler and more short. I have one called " how to take high dose thiamine" which you might like
I haven't seen the issue that thiamine has helped me. I had an ear infection in my left ear for about 9 months. My doctor tried several things that did not help. 500mg of thiamine per day for three weeks has cleared up my clogged ear and the infection! The doctor said that he had been seeing quite a few ear infections and I'm wondering if it could be related to the covid vaccine that I took. I had two shots and a booster with a fair amount of fatigue for at least 2 weeks after each shot. Then I got vertigo for about 3 months which was followed by the clogged ear which went on until I began the B1 therapy. Both the vertigo and the clogged ear were on the left side. Thank goodness for finding out about the benefits of B1 because I'm starting to feel great! Thank you!
Elliot talks about highly refined foods vs. thiamine deficiency/blocking and Dr. Wallach expounds upon the refined foods being a high carbohydrate to low nutrient ratio...
I am 66 and have suffered with IBS for years. I saw your video and thought I'd try it as I've tried everything else. I have used it now for two weeks and I can honestly say it's change my life. My IBS has disappeared. My toilet habits are back to normal and I just feel so different and so calm. I also take the other B vitamins and vitamin D through the winter. I can't thank you enough for making this video. It is amazing!
Have you tried the Eat for your blood type “diet”.I have been on it for over 20yrs and no longer suffer from Acid Reflux or any other GI. issues. This diet Information is why the “Carnivore “ diet works for the “O” types ,the Vegan diet works for the “A” types to give few examples. I am so happy to follow it.
Sir, in addition, thiamine defeciency indirectly lead to skin diseases. Because, when body get insufficient thiamine from food we eat, body produce it from sulphur or Silicon. Which may lead to defeciency of sulphur and or Silicon. Defeciency of sulphur and or Silicon lead to various skin diseases.
I suspect I have this from Epstein Barr Virus, which I have had reactivations of for over twenty years. Perhaps the down down regulation of the enzymes then led to my immune system down regulating, which meant the EBV (and other pathogens) could carry on without being kept properly in check. I'd be alright as long as I didn't do much, but the moment I pushed beyond my energy envelope I was punished with extreme insomnia, palpitations, malaise, intense fatigue, muscles aches, breathlessness upon exertion. This info feels like a game changer. Can't believe it's taken me so long to discover it. Thank you Elliot !!!
thanks eo. i had food poisoning in 2018, sibo onset by 2019, found giardia once, candida many and dysbiosis on several stool tests, H2+CH4 sibo on breath test. been through the wars with a myriad of symptoms, sadly main ones that have stayed are crepitus, distal and limb muscle atrophy and myelin degeneration, pins and needles and burning settling in, and full body hair thinning and loss to boot. OAT testing is on the way but with my low energy, epithelial wrinkling and dryness, and hair loss i have my suspicions of lps or even worse neurotoxins from gut chemistry placing nerves and mitochondria under attack, so b1 is worth a shot. serum total b12 is climbing 1500umol but paradoxically i have symptoms like b12 deficiency. i take 1.6g/d of benfothiamin. i'm tall at 6ft5, 178kg, i'm wondering if you use any bmi indices to match up dosing. as it stands i believe i've been 'losing' a toxins battle and figure i'll need at least 1600mg to overcome.
High blood B12 levels may suggest your body is unable to convert B12 to its ‘active’ forms - methyl- & adenosyl-cobalamin - for cellular uptake. B12 tests are usually serum-based & do not reflect what is going on at cellular level. Whilst your blood level may be high, your cells may be starving! There is a lot of synergy between B vitamins, so it may be that a shortage of other B vitamins, like B1, B2, B6, Folate, etc, might just be inhibiting the conversion. Magnesium is needed too, & getting plenty of potassium-rich foods. I take ‘active’ (already converted) sublingual B12 drops (as, like many people I don’t absorb or utilise B12 very well digestively in capsule/tablet forms), plus a good B-50 complex & a fair amount of extra Thiamine/Benfotiamine & find that work pretty well, but I’ve learned to my cost that I cannot go too long without my precious B vitamins.
@@alisonbamford6723 thanks for the input! i tried the functional b12 avenue, got normal range homocysteine in serum tests and normal methlamonic acid in organic acid urine tests. experimented with transdermal methlycobalamin patches and felt no improvement. was also on a b complex 100 when muscle loss and pain complaints started. not sure what to test from here
@@johnline How are you feeling now? I’m so sorry for your struggles. 😔 I wonder if you just need a good detox. Far infrared saunas are awesome for that. Perhaps a juice fast? Fasting is amazing for healing the body.
I just purchased your product and it will probably be at least a week before I get it because I'm in the United States. I've been watching your videos and I'm very interested in using your product. In the articles you've written you mentioned that 1500 mg is the dosage where people see benefit, the people mentioned had severe neurological disorders. If someone has something similar to chronic fatigue would they still need to consume 1500 mg of thiamin per day? The pills that you sell are only 100 mg and there's 62 a bottle and each bottle cost almost $40, so one bottle would last 4 days if taken at a dosage of 1500 mg per day. For me that's not sustainable. So my question is I watched the video where you were talking about using the specific type of thiamine because it works better, so would one still need 1500 mg of your product per day? I would love to get in with you but on your website it says you are not taking new clients.
The research using those doses was using thiamine HCL. The therapeutic dose of thiamax is usually much less. People start with 1/2 or 1 cap and work up to maybe 3-4 per day depending on response
I cured my 80 yr old's Berberi with B1 TTFD, methylated B complex, and nano liquid magnesium. All of her doctors piled on meds, poked and prodded her digestive tract, but found nothing wrong with her. Slow motility, acid reflux, GERD, tachycardia, POTS, ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, SIBO, hyperglycemia, muscle aches etc. After I removed all her meds I told her doctors, but they didn't care. They have zero nutrition training just legal drug dealers

This is from pharmakeus (fem. pharmakis) "a preparer of drugs, a poisoner, a sorcerer" from pharmakon "a drug, a poison, philter, charm, spell, enchantment." Beekes writes that the original meaning cannot be clearly established, and "The word is clearly Pre-Greek." The ph- was restored 16c. in French, 17c. in English (see ph).
Buck ["Selected Indo-European Synonyms"] notes that "Words for 'poison', apart from an inherited group, are in some cases the same as those for 'drug' ...."

I was diagnosed with Covid long haul syndrome. 44 years old, healthy, no underlying conditions. I was bedridden for 4 months. After megadosing b1 for a week, I was 100% cured. It's truly a miracle, I thought I was going to be sick forever.
Post viral malaise already has a name it's rediculous to call it "long haul covid" 🤣🤣 by that logic I had the longest "long haul swine flu" ever.
Can you tell me how you dosed it? Also, what brand did you use?
@@RedRedux No mine was different, well beyond malaise. I literally couldn't stand up for more than five minutes, or remember or think about anything. My breathing and pulse were out of control. It turns out that the list of symptoms for long haul and thiamine deficiency are almost identical. Makes me wonder how many people out there are suffering unnecessarily when the solution could very well be sitting in their medicine cabinet.
@@AbraboGeno I fasted for 10-12 hours a day and stabilized my mast cells. Low histamine foods, nutritional yeast, more salt not less and good hydration. Don't buy any expensive vitamins they don't do anything food can't do and usually food is more bioavailable anyway. Raw onions and Red apples if you can get them.
@@RedRedux You still long hauled swine flu.
I tried everything to improve my sleep, and I tried magnesium glycinate, but it did not work, and I even changed my food to healthy food, but when I used vitamin B1 in the form of benfotiamine, my sleep changed amazingly for the better. I do not know the exact reason, but even those who spoke about the benefits of vitamin B1 did not talk about it. About this benefit!
UA-camrs have helped so many people who get treated by doctors as if they're in a sheep dip. I hate doctors and hospitals, the first and last thing they do is try to get rid of you. Honestly, it's only when I get upset and angry that they begin to listen, but here's the thing: they STILL don't do their damn job. I'm sick of explaining simple symptoms to then see a giant question mark appear above the so-called doctor's head (I could punch them all, USELESS!)
UA-camrs, on the other hand, have saved my health, possibly they even save lives, I'm sure. Well done
Agree
To be honest I don't know how they sleep at night the way they treat people and never heal anything
😂Love it. Your so right.
Sheep dip? Benny Hill 🤣
I know that most people get thiamine deficiency from alcohol use, but I got it during a period in my life when I was anorexic. When I got to the hospital they were pumping me full of so many vitamins but the doctor was most concerned about the TD (thiamine deficiency). I was seeing what looked like sparks in the sides of my eyes, kept saying I was 5 years younger than I actually was, and was just confused in general. I was in the hospital for about a month with and IV giving me vitamins and mainly B1 everydy. when I got out, I was still prescribed to take 300mg a day in pill form. I was totally coherent again, no more sparkles in my peripheral vision, felt genuinely good and less depressed. When I researched it, I couldn't believe how much I had to take to get my levels back to normal. That was a couple years ago, Im healthy now but I still take a thiamine supplement pill everyday.
Good luck to you! Thank God you're out and ok now! I'm on it also and I feel it's helping already after nearly3mnths and I will up the dose soon! My love to you! As a fellow lady I also had body dismorphic tendencies all my life! Hugs2u!!💖💖🧚♀️🧚♂️🙏🏿👋

Wow! That’s amazing that you got lucky with a good doc.
Hi Elliot, you're quickly becoming one of my favorite UA-camr. True story I decided to take thiamine about two weeks ago after watching your videos on and off about a year. I was hoping it would help with peripheral neuropathy in my feet which it did. But after taking 600 mg of benfotamine twice a day I realized on day two that I wasn't losing hair any more. I'm a 60 yr woman who's been going bald no matter what I did for 40 years. I've seen countless doctors who told me a bunch of nonsense why I was losing my hair. I've heard Biotin which never helped me at all was supposed to be good for HL, but I never heard about B1 for HL. I'm very fit eat organic food not much junk food and take lots of top of the line supplements. Vitamin B1 is the only thing that's made a difference. I've gone from 2-300 hundred strands which was very weak and thin a day to 0-10 strands a day. I would love to hear your thoughts, thanks for all you do.
I am interested to know how your hair regrowth is progressing a year on from this comment ? Are you still taking B1?
What “organic foods” ....????
@@mica, how awesome for you!! 🎉
How are u doing
@@foxyauragems6146
Probably organic green vegetables. I juice celery every morning and take a second juice for lunch w/cucumber,cilantro,Swiss chard,red bell pepper,lemon and a pinch of cayenne and it’s amazing! Then a huge raw salad for dinner or a stir fry w/onion,bok choy,broccoli,carrot,zucchini and yellow squash.
Megadosing B1 , as You suggested Elliot , fixed my acid reflux in just 43 days . Had been on medication for past 20 years . 13 months now with no heartburn or reflux and eat anything and everything . You are Helping People Elliot ! I am grateful for the correct information an Appreciate You and what You are doing ! My doctor would NOT even talk to me about B1 an only suggested that I keep taking the Meds. . . . as I was showing him charts of vitamins that we corrected this condition with . Thank You so much ! We are spreading the word but it's remarkable how many people just will not open their minds to this priceless information. Programming and Conditioning wins out to 90% who think that someone else is going to take care of them.
Scott, what B1 did you use please? Thanks!
So many of us w your experience, but few find solution. How much, how long what kind? Any thjng more you can offer from experience would be helpful. Think I've had long enough to effect all systems. Literally like slowly dying. My Dr. Said labs looked ok. Basic. That was enough for her. I couldn't stand or function or eat or sleep restful. But labs looked OK.
I had sudden onset peripheral neuropathy in January 21, chilblains with ulcers that lasted for several months, Raynauds in fingers, high resting pulse rate, constant sweating under arms/groin, pins and needles in hands, blue skin on extremities when cold. I knew it was nerve (parasympathetic/sympathetic) related because my left middle toes and right middle fingers were worse, and were bad together.
Doctor was clueless, said..”it was just one of those things that happen “.
Came across a Dr Berg video on Benfotiamine and Alpha lipoic acid. Started taking them in May 21, noticed an improvement almost immediately. Now October 21, about 80% cured.
Just recently came across Elliot’s videos (wish I had seen them sooner) and have started taking TTFD and sulbutiamine.

I really like this delivery style! Clear - direct - focused - quite short - and excellent graphics. Thanks for your excellent work.

Your (and Sally K Nortons) guidance and advice has been (literally) a life saver!
Thanks!
@@EONutrition hi Elliot I love listening to your videos and this has happened to me. After so much stress I had taken B1 supplementation and after three weeks my whole body calmed down. The other thing is that my tension headache hasn't resolved despite the fact that I know it's a nutritional deficiency after so much trials that I went through. Should I still wait or is the vitamin B1 supplementation just done

Wait, thiamine deficiency causes night terrors too? I have night terrors and disturb my household/disrupt their sleep at least 2 times a week! I have been looking into the thiamine deficiency because of an almost non existent appetite and when looking for natural appetite stimulants thiamine comes up. This is just so WOW for me!!!
I was feeling exhausted, feeling cold (with bone pain) in the most extreme heatwaves, and dealing with a lot of these nonspecific symptoms. I ran across thiamine information and decided to try 250 mg benfotiamine daily. Within days the pains started going away and I did start feeling better. My bloodwork now is decently within range, though I feel that this is one supplement I will continue for a very long time.

God bless you sir! You saved my life. I'm positive I had a fairly bad B-1 deficiency before I got B-Cell lymphoma in my thyroid. After chemo/radiation, I had all the symptoms of dry beriberi. Of course, I never knew about how to take thyroid medication (levothyroxine) and obviously, my endocrinologist didn't tell me anything. I had CFS, IBS, insomnia, Raynaud's, BPD like symptoms, MDD...you name it. Matcha green tea and B-1 gave me my life back! I love you man.

@@boomerang0101 it can help fix gut issues in a probiotic way. Matcha has way, way more EGCG and L-theanine than brewed tea. Also, there's some evidence that matcha can help rebuild the mylan sheath on especially the Vagas nerve.

@@MrScatalog cool. Bro I started taking 100mg b1 (benfotiamine) everyday since a month and my weight has finally started to go down and I no longer feel lethargic.
I absolutely believe this is true. Beriberi isn’t just an issue on remote Asian islands.
Im a 41 year old American woman with borderline anorexia and alcoholism so I can believe I have a lot of deficiencies.
I’m definitely going to pile on the B1. I’m 83. In 2002 I had an episode when the muscles in my abdominal area started to contract and release at the rate of 2 times/second. Very painful. Ambulance to ER, shot of Valium. Stopped. This happened several times…one of the ‘mystery’ illnesses. Everything from MRIs to acupuncture. Nothing worked. Found Lyrica and relief. It interrupts the signal from the brain to the muscle but condition persists. We’re calling it myoclonus for convenience. I’ve been searching for 20 years. This could be it. Fingers crossed. Thank you!

@@KKing55 It was my grandfather. Sadly he is no longer with us, he died waiting for the B1 to arrive. He had ordered it and been waiting 5 weeks (we are in an island near Alaska so shipping takes long). The B1 arrived 2 days after his death. RIP grandad.

This format is perfect.
You made the right decision making this video. It will be the most viewed video on thiamine and vitamin B for sure.
Great information! Personally, I fixed my intestines with 100mg daily of allithiamine (ttfd). I fixed decades of sluggish, sometimes completely stagnant digestion with this stuff. No GP I went to ever knew about it, I found out from videos like this one. If your guts don't work properly it may be well worth trying!
Good stuff! I see it all the time. I have treated SIBO with TTFD on numerous occasions with great results in some people

What's ttfd?
@@mariempavon2916 Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulphide, the synthetic counterpart of Allithiamine. I found the brand Monoherb from Amazon worked best for me.
@@xenajade6264 that’s brilliant! Although I’ve taken Thiamine on & off over the years I never, until now, equated it with better digestion. However over the last few weeks my digestion nosedived (as it does from time to time), & pretty much ground to a halt. Gastritis, horrendous & very painful gas & bloating, & constipation. But picking up on the gastro connection made me dig the Thiamine out again - & within 3 days things have improved dramatically in the digestion department.
I suspect getting, or absorbing enough Thiamine has been an issue for me for decades. Poor gut function, IBS, Candida & fungal issues, parasites, malabsorption, slow stomach emptying/Gastroparesis, GERD/Acid Reflux/Silent Reflux, hair loss, inability to lose weight, lactic acid issues, 20 years of hypoglycemia followed by diabetes 23 years ago & low energy for over 50 years can all be linked to functional Thiamine deficiency.
Again very impressed .

Good to know. I've been mega dosing Benfotamine daily for about 3 months.
How much is considered a "Mega dose"? 300 mg?
You are so intelligent Elliot. I love your presentations
My current plan WRT B1 is to start with Benfotiamine and work my way up to 900-1050mg per day (150mg caps from country life). Then switch to TTFD at 1 per day and work my way up to 3-4 per day. I will also take a good array of supporting nutrients as per your previous video, including other b vitamins. I'm looking to take my health up another level to be the best ever (ever). I stopped taking b-complex a couple years ago b/c it was giving me nerve pain, and I read that too much b-complex can cause that. Nerve pain went away, but now I don't have the most optimal energy levels, and my sleep is sometimes challenged. Sleep is improving with taking glycine at night as well as inositol during the day. I already take a lot of magnesium, and I'll add L-theanine at night to help the sleep improve as well.
I would love to know your update. I’m trying to figure out my severe health issues.

I knew my dad was thiamine deficient after years of alcohol abuse, NSAIDS, malnutrition and celiac. I convinced the doctor to give him injections but after they ended he only took 100mg benfothiamine sporadically and eventually developed seizures (which was all his doctors would ever focus on). They had no answer for his abrupt cognitive decline, balance issues and swelling of his feet and legs went on for a year with no doctor listening to me. He died in his sleep from congestive heart failure (and subsequent heart attack) a few months ago. I could puke. It makes me so mad. Doctors in Canada don’t care because they have no time to care. I personally have been waiting 8 months for a CTA to check on a dissecting aneurysm in my carotid artery (after both of my carotids tore spontaneously last year). Also of note, I was never even admitted to a hospital with a 100% blocked left carotid and a 70% blocked right one at the same time. Sometimes I hate this country. I used to sing the praises of our healthcare but now I’m disgusted. And just plain sad. My dad could have lived and didn’t need to lose his life at 71.
Damn it's the same crap here in the U.S too. I'm from PA and these doctors do not care.

Did you take b1..how u now..howz anemia
I have the feeling that in most cases, the real problem is not nutrient defficiency but inhibition of nutrients, as well as inability of the body to process them.
I also suspect this, which is why mega dosing is necessary.

? How exactly
Sir 5 year ago, I got constipation problem. Every pathy Dr. Prescribe laxative, but no tell me that this is due to Thayamin defeciency. I have a book of vitamin. One day I read in it that long term constipation I's due to defeciency of B1. It is also mentioned that refined sugar is the cause. Also, B1 is necessary for brain. I got actual reason of my problem. From then, I start eating brown rice, which contain B1 in plenty. My all problems solved. Now, that brown rice is not available. So, I enquire about Thayamin tablet. But, many chemist from my town and near by city told, such product, we do not seen. Lastly, I told my son to see this tablet in a medium size metropolitan city. He enquire, but many told not available. He then met a chemist where, he always purchase medicine, when he was in college. The chemist was kind enough and told my son that till night, he will bring Thayamin tablet from whole seller and will give him. In India, hospital is that cruel business, they (drs) want the patient should come to them, after every couple of month. This, is proved many times.
I have never heard of benefits of B1 before, but seeing this video & reading the comments is really eye openning. So is it safe to take B1 alone or with other B vitamins? What form/name of B1 to use? Thank you for the video & info, this might help tons of ppl 🙏😌
To my knowledge, Elliot is recommending B1 TTFD ( Thiaimine tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide ) or Benfotiamine.
Great video Elliot! Your information on thiamine and megadoses has been really important to me and wanted to thank you. I’ve just started reading:
Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition
So hope to learn even more.
Sulbutiamine was invented by the Japanese. It is B1 that crosses the BBB. It is a nootropic and available online.
Ohhh wow Thank you for this!!! I have some Sulbutamine!
In food it always comes with plenty of magnesium (200:1), and it's impossible to get more than 2mg unless you eat pork or salmon. At the same time, both magnesium and thiamine are contained in sufficient quantities in most foods. Chicken and horse feeds are not supplemented with B vitamins.
My hypothesis is that thiamin and magnesium are twins. You need to keep the ratio within a narrow range, or things go awry. Both thiamine and magnesium are universal in all natural foods, and the average ratio is about 200:1, so 400mg: 2mg daily. If you supplement one, you also need to match the other, in that ratio.
Your comments make me think how accurate the RDIs are. We need 1.2mg per day, they say. These guys supp way beyond this.
I get about 2mg a day, and I still wonder if B1 supp can also give me the miracles like so many are saying. (My issues are trouble digesting protein and slow gut motility).
I'm on it since ur vid I saw maybe4mnths ago! I'm not even3mnths on it yet! I have a neck injury nerve compromise and I mentioned I was on it to the pain specialist recently in hosp as I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia! I expected the young doctor to say it would b pointless but he said yes take it. It will help u! So thank u Elliott!!
TTFD B1 worked for me. You may have tried other supplements or drugs to recover from CFS or Fibromyalgia and lost hope....this works!!!
Hi Nathan, are you able to share dosage to tackle Fibro ? I’m seeing some hope here 😍🙌
Hey Elliot I was wondering if you could do videos on allergies (I have a severe dust mite allergy) and if there is any relation to thiamine or other deficiency? And also histamine intolerance. Thanks! -David
Allergy I heard were linked to vitamin D (stop immunity from overreacting) and some people suggest Zink (linked to immunity, can be depleted by ingredient in sodas like cola or Pepsi, it also depletes magnesium). Some people suggest exposure therapy. Low dosage exposure to allergen. But it can dangerous, you need to consult doctor about it.
@@kotenoklelu3471 hey thanks for the reply! I actually have very high Vit D and Zinc levels, and have tried the low dose allergy shots as well as drops but that actually just made things worse. Magnesium does seem to help with some other issues but not the allergies etc...
Low Calsium raises histamin levels in your body. Be sure to take K2 when adding vitamine D otherwise calsium won't reach your cells but stay in your blood vessels. Calsification is dangerous. Vitamine D raises the calsium uptake twenty fold.
@@52nenne thanks.
Try using black Seed oil cold pressed or if can't find use sesame oil. 3 drops each nostril before bed and once during daytime
Great video Elliot, I missed this one.
Thank you for the amazing information about B1 !!!
Thiamine deficiency in Alcoholic n Anorexic
Sugar, coffee , tea alcohol depletes B1
Good vid, however (and I am taking B1 [benfotiamine] in daily doses of 600 mg to handle drop foot -it did) to get the full benefit of this, in addition to taking 2-3 b complex tablets a day, I take 3-4 heaped teaspoons of brewers years (high in other b vits, enzymes and cofactors). Per Adelle Davis in her book "Lets Get Well" neuritis was only healed in case studies she saw when they were given yeast in addition to B complex tablets with the B1; b1 and b comp without yeast did not do the trick. Per Adelle it is always a good idea to keep supplements balanced as so many nutrients work together that an excess in one can create deficiencies in others. My sense of balance has recently improved and, after having read some of the successes below, I am considering going up for 3-4 months (have been taking 600 mg for 12 months) to 900 mg. If this is in excess of what I need as it is fat soluble (benfotiamine) I am assuming the liver will store it.
I have most of Adelle’s books too. She was a great advocate of B vitamins. She knew her stuff!
@Mark Whatever I'm wondering if it might relate to the MTHFR gene mutations. I have 2 of the Bad gene, causing my detox to be at 30% normal. And I do not Methylate the B's there for have to take a methylated form.
Just started taking it for silo and lifelong grain intolerance. Seems to be having a positive impact. Thank you for the science heavy explanation!
Thiamine deficiency has severely damaged this world. People locked in chronic fight-or-flight (due to Thiamine deficits) have strong, but erroneous, feelings that their behavior is normal, when it is just dysfunction. They see it to their left and right, and conclude that their feelings, thoughts, and actions are normative (when it is merely widespread group dysfunction). This is particularly troublesome in societies which have made alcohol abuse and alcoholism tantamount to idolatry. Those people are profoundly misguided and sad, and they try to assert that destroying themselves through the excessive consumption of that molecule (alcohol) is somehow a strength.
The real issue is that they are afraid to admit that they are wrong, and are on the road to self-destruction. How “manly” or “strong” is someone laid low, and having surrendered their free will to an inanimate object (a freaking molecule)? Zero. It is very oddly arrogant and weak simultaneously..
The answer is to take B-vitamins, exercise, speak to a good nutritionist, and throw out all of your drugs and alcohol, and learn how to be humble.
Unfortunately these poor souls have to be brought to their knees because they really are clueless by that time.
Does this vitamin affect sugar cravings? I recently started supplementing with it and I am no longer craving sugar.
Big thanks for your informative and well presented video
Elliot, you're saving lives in a world where conventional medicine is not.
Great video, super clear, thanks so much for all the work you do! I wish more people knew about this.
Glad it was helpful!
@@EONutrition So what are the specific symptons of B1 deficiency? I’m a 75 yr female but none of my drs can determine why I have gone from a size 8 to a size 2, have IBS-C, can’t sleep more than 4 hrs-6 hrs a day, 3 hosp stays since 5/2022, went from 124lbs in 3/2022 to 93 lbs in 1/2023. I eat 2-3 sm meals a day. I want to eat more at each meal but can’t eat more than 1-2 eggs w avocado for breakfast; My recent colonoscopy was good. But not Dr can adequately tell me why con to lose weight, & all the above mentioned symptons. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this!!
i wonder how much of clear headedness from keto can be explained by lack of b1 depletion due to virtually no carbs to burn the b1.
No one needs carbs to burn anything.
I am going to marry B1
I've been taking magnesium for years, but always got stomach pains. I think the citrate form really bothers me and the others just don't do much. 1.5 years ago I switch to ReMag, a pico-ionic MgCl form with works wonders. It is stated to be 99% absorbed at the cellular level without gut distress. I take 600-900mg a day along with other minerals. But ReMag is the best magnesium I've ever used!
Thank you for this information. I was looking for a good magnesium recommendation.
i think Magnesium Threonate is the only type that crosses the BBB??
Elliot will know!
LOVE the Remag….
Works great!
5 years of CIRs from mould hence very low ADH. As a result I can't keep fluid in my body. I imagine that is how I became B1 deficient. A few days of B1 drops and my brain works again and I have energy....amazing
"Miracle" is Right!
Hello doctor I'll be back just to thank you, you safe my life
Thank you for sharing this video, very informative. I’ve had long Covid for 18 months and only just wondering if I may be deficient in thiamine… I have zero tolerance to any food, histamine, oxalate and sulphur issues along with multi organ dysfunctions (heart, lungs, stomach - hurrendous reflux, the list is endless). I’ve lost far too much weight I’m only 7st. It is so scary. My question is, what form of thiamine is best?
It's unfortunate that your question has not been answered.
If I was suffering all those symptoms I would use any form I could get my hands on. If it doesn’t work after 2 weeks try to change dose or different form of thiamine
and take potassium, thats how i recovered.
Yes incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Appreciate the videos bro just bought thiamax alongside zinc magnesium complex etc would love shorter bite sized videos in layman's terms considering most people suffering fatigue and brain fog probably would struggle with a 60 page manual or mostly 30 min videos. Guidline dosage for mega dose and is less needed for ttfd 100mg tablets. Thanks 😊
Hey! Thanks for the feedback. This video is a few years old and my recent videos are simpler and more short. I have one called " how to take high dose thiamine" which you might like
@@EONutrition thanks mate I'll check it out
I haven't seen the issue that thiamine has helped me. I had an ear infection in my left ear for about 9 months. My doctor tried several things that did not help. 500mg of thiamine per day for three weeks has cleared up my clogged ear and the infection! The doctor said that he had been seeing quite a few ear infections and I'm wondering if it could be related to the covid vaccine that I took. I had two shots and a booster with a fair amount of fatigue for at least 2 weeks after each shot. Then I got vertigo for about 3 months which was followed by the clogged ear which went on until I began the B1 therapy. Both the vertigo and the clogged ear were on the left side. Thank goodness for finding out about the benefits of B1 because I'm starting to feel great! Thank you!
You’re gonna save lives with this information bravo sir changing the world god bless you
Great data and explanation.
Liked and subscribed.
Great video! What is the difference between TTFD and Benfotiamine? Also, is regular B1 supplement same as TTFD? I'm guessing it's not?
Elliot talks about highly refined foods vs. thiamine deficiency/blocking and Dr. Wallach expounds upon the refined foods being a high carbohydrate to low nutrient ratio...
I am 66 and have suffered with IBS for years. I saw your video and thought I'd try it as I've tried everything else. I have used it now for two weeks and I can honestly say it's change my life. My IBS has disappeared. My toilet habits are back to normal and I just feel so different and so calm. I also take the other B vitamins and vitamin D through the winter. I can't thank you enough for making this video. It is amazing!
Have you tried the Eat for your blood type “diet”.I have been on it for over 20yrs and no longer suffer from Acid Reflux or any other GI. issues. This diet Information is why the “Carnivore “ diet works for the “O” types ,the Vegan diet works for the “A” types to give few examples. I am so happy to follow it.
@@glentoll3696 thank you. I'll look into it
Sir, in addition, thiamine defeciency indirectly lead to skin diseases. Because, when body get insufficient thiamine from food we eat, body produce it from sulphur or Silicon. Which may lead to defeciency of sulphur and or Silicon. Defeciency of sulphur and or Silicon lead to various skin diseases.
Excellent.
Thank you Elliot!
Always thank you for your generosity and knowledge…
Do you think if someone deficient in molybdenum may not respond to thiamine since molybdenum needed to convert the sulfur in thiamine to sulfate?
I suspect I have this from Epstein Barr Virus, which I have had reactivations of for over twenty years.
Perhaps the down down regulation of the enzymes then led to my immune system down regulating, which meant the EBV (and other pathogens) could carry on without being kept properly in check. I'd be alright as long as I didn't do much, but the moment I pushed beyond my energy envelope I was punished with extreme insomnia, palpitations, malaise, intense fatigue, muscles aches, breathlessness upon exertion.
This info feels like a game changer. Can't believe it's taken me so long to discover it.
Thank you Elliot !!!
@@googlespy, did thiamine end up helping you? I sure hope so! ❤️❤️
Can you let us know what helped? Was it B1 or the other forms and how much in dosing please? I have the exact same issues.
Ditto. Starting with 500 mg of thiamine mono once a day, then will build up slowly to 2 or 3 times daily to 1500 mg. & re-evaluate.
Excellent!
Thank you
Thank you for al your wisdom
thanks eo. i had food poisoning in 2018, sibo onset by 2019, found giardia once, candida many and dysbiosis on several stool tests, H2+CH4 sibo on breath test. been through the wars with a myriad of symptoms, sadly main ones that have stayed are crepitus, distal and limb muscle atrophy and myelin degeneration, pins and needles and burning settling in, and full body hair thinning and loss to boot. OAT testing is on the way but with my low energy, epithelial wrinkling and dryness, and hair loss i have my suspicions of lps or even worse neurotoxins from gut chemistry placing nerves and mitochondria under attack, so b1 is worth a shot. serum total b12 is climbing 1500umol but paradoxically i have symptoms like b12 deficiency. i take 1.6g/d of benfothiamin. i'm tall at 6ft5, 178kg, i'm wondering if you use any bmi indices to match up dosing. as it stands i believe i've been 'losing' a toxins battle and figure i'll need at least 1600mg to overcome.
Difficult to say on the dose - best to start low and work one's way up gradually
High blood B12 levels may suggest your body is unable to convert B12 to its ‘active’ forms - methyl- & adenosyl-cobalamin - for cellular uptake. B12 tests are usually serum-based & do not reflect what is going on at cellular level. Whilst your blood level may be high, your cells may be starving!
There is a lot of synergy between B vitamins, so it may be that a shortage of other B vitamins, like B1, B2, B6, Folate, etc, might just be inhibiting the conversion. Magnesium is needed too, & getting plenty of potassium-rich foods. I take ‘active’ (already converted) sublingual B12 drops (as, like many people I don’t absorb or utilise B12 very well digestively in capsule/tablet forms), plus a good B-50 complex & a fair amount of extra Thiamine/Benfotiamine & find that work pretty well, but I’ve learned to my cost that I cannot go too long without my precious B vitamins.
@@alisonbamford6723 thanks for the input! i tried the functional b12 avenue, got normal range homocysteine in serum tests and normal methlamonic acid in organic acid urine tests. experimented with transdermal methlycobalamin patches and felt no improvement. was also on a b complex 100 when muscle loss and pain complaints started. not sure what to test from here

How are you feeling now? I’m so sorry for your struggles. 😔
I wonder if you just need a good detox. Far infrared saunas are awesome for that.
Perhaps a juice fast? Fasting is amazing for healing the body.
What about a b complex???? Like Bragg's nutritional yeast???
Definitely not the best if you are trying to fix health issues. You need the Allthiamine type.
If you are deficient, nutritional yeast will do nothing. You need to have large doses iof B1 to overcome the deficiency.
Your knowledge is incredible considering your age.
What an idiotic comment
Very helpful! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I just purchased your product and it will probably be at least a week before I get it because I'm in the United States. I've been watching your videos and I'm very interested in using your product. In the articles you've written you mentioned that 1500 mg is the dosage where people see benefit, the people mentioned had severe neurological disorders. If someone has something similar to chronic fatigue would they still need to consume 1500 mg of thiamin per day? The pills that you sell are only 100 mg and there's 62 a bottle and each bottle cost almost $40, so one bottle would last 4 days if taken at a dosage of 1500 mg per day. For me that's not sustainable. So my question is I watched the video where you were talking about using the specific type of thiamine because it works better, so would one still need 1500 mg of your product per day? I would love to get in with you but on your website it says you are not taking new clients.
The research using those doses was using thiamine HCL. The therapeutic dose of thiamax is usually much less. People start with 1/2 or 1 cap and work up to maybe 3-4 per day depending on response
@@EONutrition thank you
