Just wanted to let you know that taking Benfotiamine has increased my ability for hearing. The volume on TV needed to be as high as possible, but now it is 1/4 the previous volume.
My husband is a type 2 diabetic. He takes 300mg of benfotiamine a day and 200mg of Thiamine twice a day. Also magnesium, zinc, Bcomplex and choline. At his latest test his A1C was 5.9 (prediabetic range) and he is no longer on any insulin or diabetic meds. He has modestly cut carbs but still is quite carb heavy. Benfotiamine was a game changer.
Nutritional yeast is a great way to add b vitamins into food you're already eating. It's cheap, it smells like cheese, has only a mild cheese flavor and can be sprinkled on or mixed with almost anything. I add a tablespoon a day to at least one meal sometimes two and since I also cut way down on carbs, i don't have peripheral neuropathy anymore unless I over eat desserts around holidays. I also got my diabetes under control and don't need medication for it anymore after going low carb and losing 100 pounds. Anyway, if he's still having issues or wants b vitamin variety, look into nutritional yeast, you can get a tub of flakes relatively cheap and you only need a tablespoon or two a day.
Since I started taking 600mg of benfothiamine divided in two 300mg doses + 3gm of NAC per day, I have noticed profound improvements in my neuropathy esp in my feet. I’m T2 by the way
That's great. Also add in R-ALA, methylcobalamin, folate, Acetyl L Carnitine and Berberine and that should get you the rest of the way home. Blessings.
I have been listening to health podcasts for Years and first came across Benfotiamine on a podcast by EO nutrition on UA-cam. It was also discussed in relation to POTS. Takes years for this valuable information to become mainstream. Thank you for the podcast.
POTS stands for: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. This syndrome is usually triggered when a person stands up after lying down. Symptoms include lightheadedness, fainting, and rapid heartbeat, which can be relieved by lying down again.
@@NerveDoctors my 11 yo has severe POTS. Although the heartrate decreases when you lie down and you are less likely to faint, most people with POTS have severe chronic symptoms no matter their position sadly. I have my child on benfotiamine because of this but only 80mg. I guess I'm not giving her enough at all! We also do methylcobalomin shots.
Could this possibly help with schwanomas which are on some orbital nerves? I truly am very grateful for your knowledge which you are sharing with us all. I have a daughter which has had schwanomas removed. However, this was done by a wonderful Dr. at John Hopkinns. His surgery was exploratory as the schwanomas were not being picked up on the MRI's. Could you share with me why some schwanomas are not picked up on MRI'S and would the information you shared help with her nerve pain?
She helped me so much, my chemo made my slight neuropathy off the wall painful. It was so bad the first couple weeks esp the first few days that I iced burned my feet with ice bottles. I had them on ice for a couple of hours and didn't even realize.
I'm just on my 3rd day on Benfo.. I'm diabetic and have neoropathy. Lasy year I took ALA and it healed my numbness in my foot.. I stop for a year now because of financial difficulties.. and the numbness return and I'm always suffering from numbness and on the verge of falling down if I don't grab anything I could hold on . I hope I can do some walking again after taking Benfo.. been afraid to do walking for a year now. I just do exercises for neuropthy via UA-cam. Thanks for enlightening us on how useful Benfo for diabetic person. God bless you
I have Celiac Disease, because of this I have difficulty absorbing nutrients. It's great to know that Benfotiamine is a FAT SOLUBLE vitamin. BECAUSE fat soluble (vitamins) make it easier to ABSORB the nutrients for people with Celiac Disease, otherwise the nutrients just get flushed out of us without us getting the benefits of the nutrients. GREAT video!!! I love that she was able to present the most important facts about Benfotiamine in an easily informative style.
Benfotiamine, very specific and researched thoroughly. The associated vitamin supplements included will help patients heal remarkably! This is the best presentation discovered that can help anyone recover from a toxic diet. Thank you Doctor!
@@christinekapinos722 You should take it daily. I get the Mega Benfotiamine from Life Extension. I take 600mg a day. 300mgs in the am and 300mgs in the pm. I will now add the supplements she recommends also. I've been out for a few months now and I hurt everywhere. I have type 2 diabetes and I can feel thd neuropathy badly. Benfotiamibe can also cross into the brain barrier because it's fat soluble.....good for our brains!!
I take benfotiamine, alpha lipoic acid and vitamin D every day. I can definitely tell the difference in my neuropathy in my feet when I occasionally forget to take my supplements.
I go over the correct amounts in these videos: The Right Dose / ua-cam.com/video/dKMPMPJM4JY/v-deo.html "Sabotaging Your Nerve Recovery" / ua-cam.com/video/DiPDto-kSpc/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for this information, it’s such a blessing. I’ve been having nerve pain coming from my lower back. I believe into my legs and feet and I started taking Benfotiamine with Alpa lipoic acid only a week ago and I am so amazed already at how much better I feel.
@@belfedhaltayeb8958 Hi, you should take about 400 mg or 500mg of Benfotiamine and about 600 mg of R-alpha lipoic acid per day. I take it twice a day at 200 mg of Benfotiamine and 300 mg of R-aplpha lapoic acid twice a day
Great Video Doctor. I watched Dr. Bergs Video and he advised taking the Benfotiamine together with Nutritional Yeast to balance out the diet. Nutritional Yeast has many vitamins like b's, iron, zinc etc. I would highly advise it
@@mjk6618 his son is spoiled kid who wants all his daddy money. so what if he believes in scientology he is not forcing us to convert. as long as he is keeping his believe to himself . His videos actually helped many people.
Free health advice you don't have to pay your life savings to a doctor who probably doesn't know half of what many of the doctors or students of of nutrition can teach you. I have had my right hand unable to remain steady for about 2 years now. I take 1200 mg of been foamine for the last 2 weeks by shaking is almost completely gone in my hand. My tenant has decreased substantially the stuff is great
I also have had colorectal cancer surgery. None of the experts that treated me ever explained to me that surgery can cause interference with vitamin B1 uptake. So I need to take way more than the average person. It would have been nice with all the huge money that was paid out they could have taken 2 minutes to explain that to me but I don't think they understand or knew or were taught in school whatever. They can do the surgery but the rest of it they haven't clue what they're talking about
Dear Dr. Valerie. I have no words to thank you. I was prescribed metformin as my glucose level was elevated. I also suffered from chikungunya, whose effects are still continuing. For the last 3 years I have been suffering from neuropathy . I consulted 3 doctors. However they said that this is not curable. I was living with that pain. Then, last month I chanced upon your videos and educated myself. I am taking these supplements for last 3 days and the results are absolutely marvelous. You are super. You are my God. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for this video. I am a diabetic and I have low red blood count and was have a tough time healing wounds. I bought some Benfotiamine and I am taking it twice a day. Within a week I started healing up. Thanks again.
I was taking 150mg twice a day. I bought a new bottle that is 300 mg so only take 1 every morning. I also had low red blood count before I started taking Benfotiamine . I go back to the docs next month for update.
I would suggest to also have your B6 levels tested. I have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy without diabetes (or even pre-diabetes). My neurologist did a blood test showed that my B6 levels were way too high which, she thinks, is causing my numbness/tingling and tremors. I was not on megadoses of B6 either. I just took a daily multi-vitamin. Vitamin B6 is odd in that the deficiency symptoms and toxicity symptoms from it are basically the same. By the way, be careful with benfotiamine- it gave me heart palpitations and made me short of breath on just 150 mg. Maybe it is the sulfur in it that bothers me.
I do not have diabetes but I do have peripheral neuropathy. The third neurologist I went to checked my b6 level and it was four times higher than it should be. I stopped taking the b6 but i still have the neuropathy. I hope is may help someone....this is no joke. Please have your doctor order b6 blood level. Its a simple test.
I have a simply most excellent neurologist doctor. - Dr. Monteire, I just changed a few years ago, and I visit her just once a while, I'm not in contact with her. But I just met you, through theY. T.Thank you for your detailed informations.
Benfotiamine is great, but TTFD (allithiamine) might have the leg up as far as advanced forms. There are more than 2 forms, including sulbutiamine and TTFD.
Benfotiamine is better for diabetics. I just watched Dr. Berg’s video about Allithiamine and he said if you’re diabetic you be better to take Benfo as it does something with the sugar so it doesn’t do all the damage. That’s about as good as I can explain it😬
You are the most amazing doctor I have seen online. Your explanations go beyond telling us what medications to take. You also tell us which version of the meds is useless and which versions are the best. I have just gone to my medicine cabinet and thrown out several bottles of useless stuff, especially from the Cernovit brand. I didn't appreciate that cheap becomes dear. I trusted the pharmaceuticals. Now I know better. Thank you, DR. Valerie. (Australia)
I’m so glad I landed on your channel dr I lost 40% of my hearing and I was fitting with the specialist that years ago I use to plug my ears at night before bed so nothing can wake me up as I was so sensitive to noise.. I saw some comments about it her and also dr burg mentioned it too.. I’m on it now and I hope 🤞🏼 it will make a difference. Just subscribed as you are very professional. Loved your energy. Thx
My first time here to your channel and my oh my, you certainly have a way of presenting your knowledge. I sure wish I'd found you a loooong time ago. Thank you.
This video popped up on my yt feed as I was thinking about the fat soluble B1 to assist with nerve damage repair and more importantly with tinnitus relief which was mentioned by another popular channel. I am now convinced 100%. Thanks for your concise explanation.
I thought I had it wrapped when it came to my herbology and nutritional, but you just put me on to something special. I'm gonna go out and get this tomorrow. Appreciate your hard work. ❤
Hey there, again Carlos. Always nice to hear from you. The reason rice cakes have a higher glycemic index is because it is a highly processed grain. It's considered a refined carbohydrate and after the processing method, it lacks most (if not all) of the amazing nutrients that you would normally get from brown rice.
@@NerveDoctors yes, even the very expensive ones are. used to use them quite a bit because I was on the road quite a lot. I’m a musician by trade, but Istopped using them, and I never really use bread. now I really don’t use anything like rice cakes or bread or any anything like them, I don’t miss it. you are the best, really! I love the exuberance you exude when you’re imparting this valuable information, really makes my moments, golden thank you
Thank you Doctor for your excellent explanation. This medicine has saved my Mrs from severe damage of diabetic retinopathy. I used this benfotiamine only after following this type of videos from you .
I have Hashimoto’s and the numbing in my arms and hands is concerning to me. Last night I felt burning and numbness. I have a B12 deficiency, but even with injections, the numbing is still there. I’m going to try Benfotiamine.
Ow Doctor i though we were talking about Red Onion? sorry i repeated the video but so far i have not heard about the use of Red Onion? Only vitamines which normally we know about can you pls tell us how to use natural Red onions? thank you very much!❤❤❤
Hello Doctor! You are definitely one of the finest and caring person. I have yet to see another Doctor on UA-cam answering as many questions as you do to your followers, obviously I have become one of your loyal fans. I am getting blisters on my fingers non stop, diabeticorum ., I am a long time diabetic who was an alcohol abuser. Obviously, peripheral neuropathy to almost final stage on my fingers and toes. Amputated my right toes few months ago. I see connections of my blisters with diabetes and nerves damage. Is there a solution for treatment? Sadly I live in Indonesia, not in the States. Otherwise will jump on a consultation in a heartbeat! Thanks in advance and apologize for being lengthy!
Hi Stanley. Thank you so very much for your kind words. It means so much to us and thanks for being a LOYAL FAN!! Now, let's address your question because you certainly need guidance. Yes, there's absolutely a solution and we certainly want to make sure you don't lose any more digits or limbs for that matter. Usually, when I see diabetes of this nature (bullous diabeticorum) it's because the glucose levels have run awry with little to no control. The fact that you consumed copious quantities of alcohol would certainly play a significant role. BTW...BIG CONGRATULATIONS for giving up the alcohol! That is no easy task and you should be very proud of yourself. So, the first and most important thing is to lower your hemoglobin A1C and your glucose levels and maintain them at a healthy level. The best way you can do that is by following a ketogenic diet, as well as taking the following supplements berberine, and a good quality nerve support formula that contains R-ALA, B6 (in the form of Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate, B12 in the form of methylcobalamin, benfotiamine, folate (5-MTHF or Quatrefolic), L-citrulline and acetyl l carnitine. These supplements all have a ton of research studies showing that they can improve insulin sensitivity, decrease glucose levels and assist in nerve repair. Also, L-citrulline improves NO production to improve circulation and Acetyl L Carnitine has been proven to protect the nerves from further damage or limit the ongoing damage due to elevated glucose and any other neurotoxin your nerves may be exposed to. Because of the severity of your problem and the long-standing time frame, most likely you will also need to use photobiomodulation. I'm including a couple of links to my videos that you should watch will help you get a better understanding. 1. Is diabetic neuropathy reversible (pt 1): ua-cam.com/video/ks-WJD3WOjs/v-deo.html 2. Reversing diabetic neuropathy (pt2): ua-cam.com/video/pnOIvXW9Qyw/v-deo.html 3. Vital nutrients for nerve repair: ua-cam.com/video/wPruq49-ksU/v-deo.html 4. The right dose: ua-cam.com/video/dKMPMPJM4JY/v-deo.html 5. Healing with light: ua-cam.com/video/NNXDuFc5cHU/v-deo.html Also, I just want to let you know that Dr. Coppola and I have formulated NUPHORIA cm Gold and Blue nerve support formulas to address the issues I mentioned above. It contains all of the necessary ingredients in the correct amounts as outlined in clinical studies (we do ship to Indonesia). Here's the link: healmynerves.com/collections/nerve-support/products/nuphoria-cm-gold-blue-bundle Lastly and most importantly, we do telephone or Zoom consults around the world for people like yourself. If you would like to schedule a consult with us you can email us at: info@nuphoria.com and my assistant will give you more information about it. Well, I believe I've written a book (lol). I truly hope this information gets you on the right path and restores your hope. Stanley, you don't have to live with this condition or lose more toes, so please don't accept that as your fate. We're here for you. BLESSINGS!!
@@NerveDoctors Thanks, Dr. M. Your detailed analytical reply is much appreciated and will be followed as closely as possible. Where I live is quite rural in Indonesia so getting the right Keto diet ingredients maybe a challenge but I will give it a shot. BTW, I have already watched most of your videos related and of course,all valuable knowledge not found elsewhere. You are such a wonderful Doctor sharing and caring. God's gift to this world! Many thanks!
@@NerveDoctors I got R-ALA , B6, B12, Benfotiamine, but are missing berberine, L-citruline and Acetyl L Carnitine. Which products and brands do you recommend for the ones im missing?
Hi, Sharity. I’m so glad the video was helpful and you found us! From clinical research, we discovered that specific vitamins help facilitate nerve repair for peripheral neuropathy. For more information, you can check out these two videos: Vital Nutrients for Nerve Repair ua-cam.com/video/wPruq49-ksU/v-deo.html The Right Dose ua-cam.com/video/dKMPMPJM4JY/v-deo.html Now, I know that is a lot and taking that many vitamins is very hard to do. So, we created a formula that supplies all the vital ingredients at the therapeutic dose in 2 bottles: Nuphoria cm Gold and Nerve Defense. You can purchase them at nuphoria.com, or call our customer support line at (844)400-0101.
Thankyou so much for the link to Dr Berg's video on Tinnitus. Mine comes and goes. I was doing the thumping 20 times but i will now be doing 20 x 8 as he mentions. This is so much appreciated.
Hello ma'am I am from INDIA. This is my first video. Wow just sunscribed & clicked the bell. Thank you very much for the great info. Will be finishing all the videos from the channel. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH HIS CHOICEST BLESSINGS ALWAYS.....😊
I just started taking this 2 days ago. I don’t have any advanced symptoms of insulin resistance, but I do have some skin tags, and have put on 20 lbs I can’t get rid of, and though I am trying to reduce my carbs that is a challenge!
@@madlenj.4644 thank you for asking, it sort of made me step back and consider. I have not lost any weight , but I have not gained any, which was a slow but steady trend. I have far fewer alcohol cravings, while I don’t have what most would consider a problem, I had been craving that calming alcohol relief most days. I think I am down to about two days out of seven feeling that craving. I don’t know if it is r/t but my appetite is less, and I have only had a couple of days where my blood sugar dipped without warning, which is about half what it was. The changes are quite subtle, and I wonder if I need to take more, or just be patient. Oh, my exercise tolerance, which has always been below average, not severe, I just tire easily, is better. I have encountered two days where I had plenty of energy to keep working in my garden, but the sun set. Being it is not expensive I feel it is worth me continuing it.
My mom is 89 and complains about sharp pain and lack of energy. She has had the same doctor for over 10 years. She has AF and high blood pressure. So naturally she is on medication for those as well ass high cholesterol. That’s it. “Go home, and when the side effects become unbearable, call me and I will be glad to prescribe some more pharmaceuticals.” 😳😱 WTF! 10 yeas ago she had some of her colon removed because of cancer. Absolutely, nothing to help optimize what is left of her colon. No consideration for the side effects of taking A cholesterol drug - no CoQ10😳 nothing about ALA or other supplements to compensate for less colon.😂 no blood work to check for mitochondrial dysfunction. With elderly patients you know some of these problems will be of concern, but apparently not with him. A year ago I brought her a tray of supplements including C0Q10. 6 months later she gave them back and said she will not take them because she doesn’t believe in them😳😱Yet, some how she believes in pharmaceuticals. I have sent her videos like this to support the latest science. Finally, after 2 and a half years she has started taking CoQ10. 😒
WOO HOO!! Congratulations!! That is huge and how incredible that you never gave up on her!!! Keep up the good work. Dealing with family can certainly be challenging. Now, try not to be too hard on your mom's closed mind about supplements and unyielding faith in pharmaceuticals. It truly isn't her fault. Big Pharma spends literally hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising. On top of that they invest tens of millions of dollars into hiring specific groups that analyze the emotional pull certain marketing ploys will have. So, unfortunately your mother, like most people has been seduced, manipulated and brainwashed without even knowing it. Keep educating her. You're doing a great thing! Blessings.
Bless you for trying❣ My husband used to try to get his mom to take vitamins but she would just tell him he wasn't a dr. My mom always told me everything gave her a headache or digestive issues. She took 15-20 pills a day. Died at 91 after she broke her leg and was put to bed on pain killers. We tried too.😊
I suggest you turn her on to Dr Ken Berry, he does youtube just like this young lady. I've been following him for 4 years now and i've gone from not being able to walk to walking again, from the hospital sending me home to die, to really thriving. It is all about nutrition! We going thru it with my husband father who is in the hospital, he saw me recover and just won't believe eating the right food is very key to helping. Now i'll never eat another way ever. Can't believe how great I feel, better then when I was 20 yr! I really suggest you log into his monday night lives he does. You and your mob will be so happy!
I’ve had debilitating bilateral lower extremity neuropathy for years and I’ve experienced approximately 80% improvement in just one month since starting Benfotamine. I take the Benfotamine with B complex and R-Lipoic Acid.
Thank you 🙏🏻 I have all these supplements! I take B12 injections for pernicious anemia, but have neglected, my B vitamins. I am beginning to have neuropathy/burning in my hands and feet. This was great information.
I noticed that you are getting B 12 injections, please research and you will find that B12 injections with the synthetic B 12 is wrong. The Metho Type o f B 12 in sublingual under the tongue is by far more effective.Also, another great UA-cam health channel is Dr Ken Berry, he is a practicing MD, and he dispels many of the so-called experts, by providing researched information on many conditions. Good luck. 🙀🙀🙀🙀
Your information is very valuable and helpful! HOWEVER, you speak so fast and your screen with the lists moves so fast, that it's very hard to follow you or take notes. Why not slow down? You really need to know that you are not speaking to medical students, you are speaking to average people, some of us are seniors, and your pace is way too fast to absorb without replaying the video a few times. Most important, just to take notes, is almost impossible when you gloss over the information in order to cram it in a short UA-cam moment. PLEASE, slow your information down so we can grasp it and take notes in order to help ourselves!
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We will certainly try and slow down. You can also use closed caption and pause the video so you can take notes. That’s what I do when watching videos.
Just came across this video. Very informative. Like most of these types of video's, just wish they were more prevalent and as easy to find 15-20 years ago. Thank you for sharing. I put this up on social media I follow.
Is the Benfotiamine still working for you? Do you still take it at night? I am wondering if it will help me from middle of the night insomnia if I take it at night with magnesium.
Hello professor Thank you so much for your help and advice, I really appreciate your job. I wish you happiness and peace under the sky of prosperity. All the best. Take care and have a good time. Your follower from Algeria.
I got so important informations from your videos which doctors ignore or forget to tell their patients. So there is a differences between thiamine and benfotiamine..who knew!! Thanks !!
Hi Trica. Thank you so very much for those kind words. It truly means the world. I'm so glad this video was helpful. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. Blessings.
Thankyou Doctor your research, knowledge is consistent with other research. I am a pre-diabetic, the symptoms you described are me to a tee, insulin resistance, sleep problems, just locate the supplement now and try it. Thankyou again.
You are so welcome. As a diabetic, I would also recommend R-ALA and Berberine for you, as well. Just make certain you are monitoring your glucose levels. Blessings.
I have type 2 diabetes that is not well controlled despite changing to a whole food plant based diet and taking metformin. I've got some PN and I"m motivated to make more changes beecause I do not want a life of pain and today I purchased all the recommended supplements. I also do infra red light therapy and will increase my exercise routine Bottom line: I'm a health nut and I'm very impressed with the expertise of The Nerve Doctors, have not found their information anywhere else.
I ordered 300mg for my husband who has been diagnosed as having the beginning stage of.Dementia. I wondered about the dosage for a 117 lb. .man who is still regaining his lost weight, due to colon cancer of several months ago. He is on no chemo or other meds, just supplements, D3 K2 zinc and synthetic B1. I just learned about the better type, which I would prefer.We eat healthy, but my husband has a sweet tooth, and he will not stop sweets. Grrrrrrrrr!
We need all of the B Complex..taking single ones may cause deficiencies in other ones. I was told years ago an Asuan doctor told me I had a B complex deficiency. My tongue was red & swollen. Then I figured out I have non celiac gluten sensitivity & absorption problems. Its a very complex subject. Thank you
Hi P Larkin. I agree with you that everyone (especially those not consuming a healthy, low -carb, well balanced diet) should take an overall B-Complex. However, when you're battling a neurological condition, a B-complex isn't going to do the trick because it will not contain the correct doses for nerve repair. Now, do I recommend still taking a B-Complex while taking a nerve support formula or additional Benfotiamine or methylcobalamin, absolutely. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
If you take 600mg of benfothiamine a day, this is equivalent to about 2400mg thiamine. This huge amount of B1 will require some additional B vitamins (they work as a team) and magnesium. But you might not need this amounts of B1 - depends of the problem you have. You might need only B12 or B9 plus B12, always in their bioavailable forms. But you are right, it is very complicated. It took me years to aquire some basic knowledge so that I can help my two autistic grandsons. But it was worth learning.
I had 300mg befothiamine for the first time and started giving my all sorts of issues with heart palpitations, arithmea kind of sensations and frequent urination. Found out you need to supplement with pottasium and magnesium.
Isaac, when I answer these questions I'm using a specific software and it doesn't necessarily link with other questions. If you would like to type the question and send it to me, I'll be happy to answer it, if I missed it before. Blessings.
Thanks, doctor for the great service you have provided for free. I really needed this important information and its cool the way you presented it so simply. May the blessings be.
Benfotiamine is what i use for my parkinsons, it also stopped my palpitations and angina from my triple bypass!,,, taken with omega3 and B complex plus magnesium L threonate fabulous!
I have acute abdominal nerve pain under my sternum, the right size, it painful feel like someone is jamming a softball under it, thank you for all your help, new subscriber
I do not suffer from diabetes..I suffer from tingling and burning in the body..and as you described my condition before, you told me your condition is mild..thank you..just a note. I just remind you that I have been using r alpha lipoic acid 600mg for a month and a half daily..and my improvement is slow One day I will be better, and one day I will be tired from tingling and burning in the body. What is the reason? ??
First, let me address the pain levels being up and down...this is normal as your nerve begin to heal. The symptoms will not steadily lessen daily. Here's an example of how pain levels decrease. Let's say your symptoms get as high as a 9/10 (10 being the highest pain level possible). As your nerves heal, one day your pain level may drop to a 7/10 for the day, but then the next 4-5 days it will be backup to a 9/10. Then 2 weeks later it may drop to a 6/10. This volley will go back and forth until there's been substantial repair in the nerve. Once there's been substantial repair then your symptom levels will drop and stay down and continue to decrease. Next, let me address your progress being slow...First, we know that nerves are the slowest healing tissue in the body and 1.5 months is not a long time. Even for mild neuropathy cases, it can take up to 8 months to 1 year before the nerve is healed. However, when I'm working with my patients, I never just place them on R-Alpha Lipoic Acid by itself. I always place them on a combination of R-ALA, Benfotiamine, Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate (B6), Methylcobalamin (B12), Folate , L-Citrulline and Acetyl L Carnitine. This combination, in therapeutic doses, will produce the best results. Watch my video: Vital Nutrients for Nerves. This will give you more information. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/wPruq49-ksU/v-deo.html
This can also be a result of spinal-cord compression. You’ll experience burning, tingling, numbness, then weakness begins. You may wish to get a scan and eliminate this.
@@kirra7406 I underwent a neurological examination, neurosurgery twice..the result was normal. I did all the medical tests and vitamins B12 was also fine..I did an MRI on the brain and the neck was also fine..I don't know the cause of the tingling..until now..the tingling came to me when I only lowered the LDL cholesterol in my cheeks. My body..by changing food. ..and sports..and this is strange..
I've been taking benfotiamine for a while. It *_might_* be reversing the minor neuropathy in my toes, but if it is, it's really slow. Though I think it does help inhibit my restless leg that tends to kick just as I'm almost asleep.
HI Ken. When dealing with Peripheral Neuropathy most people need to be on all of the critical nutrients. Here are videos that I did on this topic: 1) Vital nutrients for nerve repair: ua-cam.com/video/wPruq49-ksU/v-deo.html 2) The Right Dose: ua-cam.com/video/dKMPMPJM4JY/v-deo.html 3) Avoid these Ingredients: ua-cam.com/video/urn0Lb4RMaQ/v-deo.html
Hey Ken. I was wondering on how it would help for restless legs. I have it bad. Did it help right away with your restless legs or did it take a while. Thanks. H
@@Wizwiz2112, the biggest solution for restless leg for me is *magnesium glycinate.* I take 200mg every evening. But it's not always 100% effective. Benfotiamine also helps, yes, on that night. I sometimes also take melatonin and acetaminophen if needed to help me get to sleep.
I just was listening to an article about the dangers of taking this nutrient if you have a kidney damage and I just went on to say that you could have a heart attacks and quite a few other maladies, can you shed some light on this? Thank you, I do enjoy your articles
Good morning, Carlos. Thanks for sharing this. I'm happy to shed light. Benfotiamine is extremely safe for the kidneys and even people on dialysis. In fact, I'm going to share a research study with you that shows it protects the kidneys even while on dialysis. Here's the link: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3083313/ Also, benfotiamine has been shown in research to improve heart function as well as lower elevated diastolic blood pressure. Diastolic number is the lower number on your blood pressure readings. Here's the research on this: bit.ly/3Tood2J These are merely 2 out of the many studies out there on this topic. I'm not sure where this person received their information but it probably wasn't research related.

There is so much information - I have watched this video 5 times. You are georgis! Your name is beautiful. You are an infectious speaker - vivacious! I had a stroke and brain tumor was found on the follow-up MRI. The most surprising was so little information was given. Thx for this information - did not know!
Hi Doc. I just want to really thank you for all your wonderful inputs on health issues. I have mornings when I wake up with numb hurting hands. I want to start taking this Benfotiamine but when I google it, so many brands show up and I don’t know which one to buy. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks Doc. Have a wonderful day!
Just wanted to let you know that taking Benfotiamine has increased my ability for hearing. The volume on TV needed to be as high as possible, but now it is 1/4 the previous volume.
I need this
how much do you take?
@@bjoshua1980 she says that at the end of the video.
My husband is a type 2 diabetic. He takes 300mg of benfotiamine a day and 200mg of Thiamine twice a day.
Also magnesium, zinc, Bcomplex and choline.
At his latest test his A1C was 5.9 (prediabetic range) and he is no longer on any insulin or diabetic meds.
He has modestly cut carbs but still is quite carb heavy.
Benfotiamine was a game changer.
Nutritional yeast is a great way to add b vitamins into food you're already eating. It's cheap, it smells like cheese, has only a mild cheese flavor and can be sprinkled on or mixed with almost anything.
I add a tablespoon a day to at least one meal sometimes two and since I also cut way down on carbs, i don't have peripheral neuropathy anymore unless I over eat desserts around holidays.
I also got my diabetes under control and don't need medication for it anymore after going low carb and losing 100 pounds.
Anyway, if he's still having issues or wants b vitamin variety, look into nutritional yeast, you can get a tub of flakes relatively cheap and you only need a tablespoon or two a day.
What supplement source company do you use?
If you're asking about our manufacturing company, it's Maker's Nutrition
What brand of Benfotiamine is he using?
@@jameslucas5590 I have bought from piping rock health products and Swanson's health products. I have had no problems with them so far.
Since I started taking 600mg of benfothiamine divided in two 300mg doses + 3gm of NAC per day, I have noticed profound improvements in my neuropathy esp in my feet. I’m T2 by the way
That's great. Also add in R-ALA, methylcobalamin, folate, Acetyl L Carnitine and Berberine and that should get you the rest of the way home. Blessings.
I took nac 3 months. No improvement. Berberine in good but hurts my stomach so I stopped. I take dr mercolas benfotamine
@@NerveDoctors anyways to combines these things into a single pill?
@@christianhansen3292 The Nuphoria products combine all of these supplements.
That is so great!
I ran out and noticed my neuropathy got BAD . This stuff works wonders for neuropathy
It has happened to me currently
I have been listening to health podcasts for Years and first came across Benfotiamine on a podcast by EO nutrition on UA-cam. It was also discussed in relation to POTS. Takes years for this valuable information to become mainstream. Thank you for the podcast.
Can you please share what is POTS? Thanks in advance 😊
POTS stands for: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. This syndrome is usually triggered when a person stands up after lying down. Symptoms include lightheadedness, fainting, and rapid heartbeat, which can be relieved by lying down again.
@@NerveDoctors Wow! Thankyou for this reply my husband has this happened to him a lot!
@@NerveDoctors my 11 yo has severe POTS. Although the heartrate decreases when you lie down and you are less likely to faint, most people with POTS have severe chronic symptoms no matter their position sadly. I have my child on benfotiamine because of this but only 80mg. I guess I'm not giving her enough at all! We also do methylcobalomin shots.
Could this possibly help with schwanomas which are on some orbital nerves? I truly am very grateful for your knowledge which you are sharing with us all. I have a daughter which has had schwanomas removed. However, this was done by a wonderful Dr. at John Hopkinns. His surgery was exploratory as the schwanomas were not being picked up on the MRI's. Could you share with me why some schwanomas are not picked up on MRI'S and would the information you shared help with her nerve pain?
Chemo patient and type 2 diabetic,you schooled me on R Alpha Lipoic Acid Thank You Dr. threw away gabba and cyalta
She helped me so much, my chemo made my slight neuropathy off the wall painful. It was so bad the first couple weeks esp the first few days that I iced burned my feet with ice bottles. I had them on ice for a couple of hours and didn't even realize.
I'm just on my 3rd day on Benfo.. I'm diabetic and have neoropathy. Lasy year I took ALA and it healed my numbness in my foot.. I stop for a year now because of financial difficulties.. and the numbness return and I'm always suffering from numbness and on the verge of falling down if I don't grab anything I could hold on . I hope I can do some walking again after taking Benfo.. been afraid to do walking for a year now. I just do exercises for neuropthy via UA-cam. Thanks for enlightening us on how useful Benfo for diabetic person. God bless you
🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have Celiac Disease, because of this I have difficulty absorbing nutrients. It's great to know that Benfotiamine is a FAT SOLUBLE vitamin.
BECAUSE fat soluble (vitamins) make it easier to ABSORB the nutrients for people with Celiac Disease, otherwise the nutrients just get flushed out of us without us getting the benefits of the nutrients.
GREAT video!!!
I love that she was able to present the most important facts about Benfotiamine in an easily informative style.
So do you know if you have to take these everyday for the rest of your life? Or can you take them for 3 to 6 months and be fine?
@@aprilmartian5837 rest of ones life BC celiac disease is perminant

Benfotiamine, very specific and researched thoroughly. The associated vitamin supplements included will help patients heal remarkably! This is the best presentation discovered that can help anyone recover from a toxic diet. Thank you Doctor!
Thank you for this wonderful information 😢
Can I take this every day
@@christinekapinos722 You should take it daily. I get the Mega Benfotiamine from Life Extension. I take 600mg a day. 300mgs in the am and 300mgs in the pm. I will now add the supplements she recommends also. I've been out for a few months now and I hurt everywhere. I have type 2 diabetes and I can feel thd neuropathy badly.

Great Video Doctor.
I watched Dr. Bergs Video and he advised taking the Benfotiamine together with Nutritional Yeast to balance out the diet. Nutritional Yeast has many vitamins like b's, iron, zinc etc.
I would highly advise it
Dr. Berg is a Scientologist
Beware!
His son did a YT video about him being a poser...
@@mjk6618 his son is spoiled kid who wants all his daddy money. so what if he believes in scientology he is not forcing us to convert.
as long as he is keeping his believe to himself .
His videos actually helped many people.
Free health advice you don't have to pay your life savings to a doctor who probably doesn't know half of what many of the doctors or students of of nutrition can teach you. I have had my right hand unable to remain steady for about 2 years now. I take 1200 mg of been foamine for the last 2 weeks by shaking is almost completely gone in my hand. My tenant has decreased substantially the stuff is great
Tinnitus is 70% gone
I also have had colorectal cancer surgery. None of the experts that treated me ever explained to me that surgery can cause interference with vitamin B1 uptake. So I need to take way more than the average person. It would have been nice with all the huge money that was paid out they could have taken 2 minutes to explain that to me but I don't think they understand or knew or were taught in school whatever. They can do the surgery but the rest of it they haven't clue what they're talking about
Dear Dr. Valerie. I have no words to thank you. I was prescribed metformin as my glucose level was elevated. I also suffered from chikungunya, whose effects are still continuing. For the last 3 years I have been suffering from neuropathy . I consulted 3 doctors. However they said that this is not curable. I was living with that pain. Then, last month I chanced upon your videos and educated myself. I am taking these supplements for last 3 days and the results are absolutely marvelous. You are super. You are my God. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks
3 days hardly seems like enough time to notice any difference.
Thank you for this video. I am a diabetic and I have low red blood count and was have a tough time healing wounds. I bought some Benfotiamine and I am taking it twice a day. Within a week I started healing up. Thanks again.
What amount did you take? Thank you
2 pills per day with meals. @@martinmaddox5315
How many mg?
I was taking 150mg twice a day. I bought a new bottle that is 300 mg so only take 1 every morning. I also had low red blood count before I started taking Benfotiamine . I go back to the docs next month for update.
I would suggest to also have your B6 levels tested. I have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy without diabetes (or even pre-diabetes). My neurologist did a blood test showed that my B6 levels were way too high which, she thinks, is causing my numbness/tingling and tremors. I was not on megadoses of B6 either. I just took a daily multi-vitamin. Vitamin B6 is odd in that the deficiency symptoms and toxicity symptoms from it are basically the same. By the way, be careful with benfotiamine- it gave me heart palpitations and made me short of breath on just 150 mg. Maybe it is the sulfur in it that bothers me.
there is sulfer in benfo ?
I do not have diabetes but I do have peripheral neuropathy. The third neurologist I went to checked my b6 level and it was four times higher than it should be. I stopped taking the b6 but i still have the neuropathy. I hope is may help someone....this is no joke. Please have your doctor order b6 blood level. Its a simple test.
Thank you
One of the best videos I’ve seen. Very clear yet precise. Lots of information to digest in this video.
After months of research and loads of videos you’re is the best explanation yet!!
Hi Graham. Thank you so very much. I'm so glad the information was useful and helpful. Happy Holidays!
I have a simply most excellent neurologist doctor. - Dr. Monteire, I just changed a few years ago, and I visit her just once a while, I'm not in contact with her. But I just met you, through theY. T.Thank you for your detailed informations.
Benfotiamine is great, but TTFD (allithiamine) might have the leg up as far as advanced forms. There are more than 2 forms, including sulbutiamine and TTFD.
6 forms 🤣
Agree..Elliot Overton says to use TTFD. So now I'm confused
Benfotiamine is better for diabetics. I just watched Dr. Berg’s video about Allithiamine and he said if you’re diabetic you be better to take Benfo as it does something with the sugar so it doesn’t do all the damage. That’s about as good as I can explain it😬
Why not take both? I take Thiamega and Thiamax along with ThiActive B.@@karenzimmer7607

Even brown rice, or rice cakes have a very high glycemic index, surprisingly higher than many other foods considered to be on the do not eat list
Hey there, again Carlos. Always nice to hear from you. The reason rice cakes have a higher glycemic index is because it is a highly processed grain. It's considered a refined carbohydrate and after the processing method, it lacks most (if not all) of the amazing nutrients that you would normally get from brown rice.
@@NerveDoctors yes, even the very expensive ones are. used to use them quite a bit because I was on the road quite a lot.

Hi Marie. So happy this video was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions. Blessings.
Hello Doctor! You are definitely one of the finest and caring person. I have yet to see another Doctor on UA-cam answering as many questions as you do to your followers, obviously I have become one of your loyal fans.
I am getting blisters on my fingers non stop, diabeticorum ., I am a long time diabetic who was an alcohol abuser. Obviously, peripheral neuropathy to almost final stage on my fingers and toes. Amputated my right toes few months ago.
I see connections of my blisters with diabetes and nerves damage. Is there a solution for treatment? Sadly I live in Indonesia, not in the States. Otherwise will jump on a consultation in a heartbeat! Thanks in advance and apologize for being lengthy!
Hi Stanley. Thank you so very much for your kind words. It means so much to us and thanks for being a LOYAL FAN!! Now, let's address your question because you certainly need guidance. Yes, there's absolutely a solution and we certainly want to make sure you don't lose any more digits or limbs for that matter. Usually, when I see diabetes of this nature (bullous diabeticorum) it's because the glucose levels have run awry with little to no control. The fact that you consumed copious quantities of alcohol would certainly play a significant role. BTW...BIG CONGRATULATIONS for giving up the alcohol! That is no easy task and you should be very proud of yourself. So, the first and most important thing is to lower your hemoglobin A1C and your glucose levels and maintain them at a healthy level. The best way you can do that is by following a ketogenic diet, as well as taking the following supplements berberine, and a good quality nerve support formula that contains R-ALA, B6 (in the form of Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate, B12 in the form of methylcobalamin, benfotiamine, folate (5-MTHF or Quatrefolic), L-citrulline and acetyl l carnitine. These supplements all have a ton of research studies showing that they can improve insulin sensitivity, decrease glucose levels and assist in nerve repair. Also, L-citrulline improves NO production to improve circulation and Acetyl L Carnitine has been proven to protect the nerves from further damage or limit the ongoing damage due to elevated glucose and any other neurotoxin your nerves may be exposed to. Because of the severity of your problem and the long-standing time frame, most likely you will also need to use photobiomodulation.

@@madlenj.4644 thank you for asking, it sort of made me step back and consider. I have not lost any weight , but I have not gained any, which was a slow but steady trend. I have far fewer alcohol cravings, while I don’t have what most would consider a problem, I had been craving that calming alcohol relief most days. I think I am down to about two days out of seven feeling that craving. I don’t know if it is r/t but my appetite is less, and I have only had a couple of days where my blood sugar dipped without warning, which is about half what it was. The changes are quite subtle, and I wonder if I need to take more, or just be patient. Oh, my exercise tolerance, which has always been below average, not severe, I just tire easily, is better. I have encountered two days where I had plenty of energy to keep working in my garden, but the sun set. Being it is not expensive I feel it is worth me continuing it.

My mom is 89 and complains about sharp pain and lack of energy. She has had the same doctor for over 10 years. She has AF and high blood pressure. So naturally she is on medication for those as well ass high cholesterol. That’s it. “Go home, and when the side effects become unbearable, call me and I will be glad to prescribe some more pharmaceuticals.” 😳😱 WTF! 10 yeas ago she had some of her colon removed because of cancer. Absolutely, nothing to help optimize what is left of her colon. No consideration for the side effects of taking A cholesterol drug - no CoQ10😳 nothing about ALA or other supplements to compensate for less colon.😂 no blood work to check for mitochondrial dysfunction. With elderly patients you know some of these problems will be of concern, but apparently not with him. A year ago I brought her a tray of supplements including C0Q10. 6 months later she gave them back and said she will not take them because she doesn’t believe in them😳😱Yet, some how she believes in pharmaceuticals. I have sent her videos like this to support the latest science. Finally, after 2 and a half years she has started taking CoQ10. 😒
WOO HOO!! Congratulations!! That is huge and how incredible that you never gave up on her!!! Keep up the good work. Dealing with family can certainly be challenging. Now, try not to be too hard on your mom's closed mind about supplements and unyielding faith in pharmaceuticals. It truly isn't her fault. Big Pharma spends literally hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising. On top of that they invest tens of millions of dollars into hiring specific groups that analyze the emotional pull certain marketing ploys will have. So, unfortunately your mother, like most people has been seduced, manipulated and brainwashed without even knowing it. Keep educating her. You're doing a great thing! Blessings.
Sounds like my mom.
Bless you for trying❣
My husband used to try to get his mom to take vitamins but she would just tell him he wasn't a dr.
My mom always told me everything gave her a headache or digestive issues. She took 15-20 pills a day.
Died at 91 after she broke her leg and was put to bed on pain killers. We tried too.😊
I suggest you turn her on to Dr Ken Berry, he does youtube just like this young lady. I've been following him for 4 years now and i've gone from not being able to walk to walking again, from the hospital sending me home to die, to really thriving. It is all about nutrition! We going thru it with my husband father who is in the hospital, he saw me recover and just won't believe eating the right food is very key to helping. Now i'll never eat another way ever. Can't believe how great I feel, better then when I was 20 yr! I really suggest you log into his monday night lives he does. You and your mob will be so happy!

You really need to know that you are not speaking to medical students, you are speaking to average people, some of us are seniors, and your pace is way too fast to absorb without replaying the video a few times. Most important, just to take notes, is almost impossible when you gloss over the information in order to cram it in a short UA-cam moment.
PLEASE, slow your information down so we can grasp it and take notes in order to help ourselves!
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We will certainly try and slow down. You can also use closed caption and pause the video so you can take notes. That’s what I do when watching videos.
Just came across this video. Very informative. Like most of these types of video's, just wish they were more prevalent and as easy to find 15-20 years ago. Thank you for sharing. I put this up on social media I follow.
Thank you so much!
I have liked and subscribed now I understand what’s going on in my body. Just ordered the Benfotiamine on Amazon. Appreciated ❤
so how are you now after taking it a while?
I take Benfotiamine for essential tremors. I take it at night because it makes me sleepy.
Any side effects?
Is the Benfotiamine still working for you? Do you still take it at night? I am wondering if it will help me from middle of the night insomnia if I take it at night with magnesium.
@@bartginger123 ME TOO!
could I ask you how much you take? my mother has the essential tremors.
Awesome way to explain the problem and the simplicity of layout the solution. Thank you
@12:31 For Diabetic Nueropathy:

A really good, comprehensive coverage of Benfotiamine benefits. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much. Truly appreciate it!😊

Hello professor

Your follower from Algeria.
Hello Said. What a beautiful blessing. Thank you so very much. Sending you much love and light. Blessings.
Just outstanding presentation by a Dr. with beauty and brains! Thanks much!
Aww...thank you so very much for your kind words.
Lovely stuff, Nerve Doctors, really enjoyed this informative and interesting video 🥰👍
I got so important informations from your videos which doctors ignore or forget to tell their patients. So there is a differences between thiamine and benfotiamine..who knew!! Thanks !!
Hi doctor thanks very much for your very informative information...I really appreciate your love towards mankind
Hi Trica. Thank you so very much for those kind words. It truly means the world. I'm so glad this video was helpful. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. Blessings.
Thankyou Doctor your research, knowledge is consistent with other research. I am a pre-diabetic, the symptoms you described are me to a tee, insulin resistance, sleep problems, just locate the supplement now and try it. Thankyou again.
You are so welcome. As a diabetic, I would also recommend R-ALA and Berberine for you, as well. Just make certain you are monitoring your glucose levels. Blessings.
Hand tremor is b1 deficiency?
Tremors can be caused by B1, B6 or B12 deficiencies.
I have type 2 diabetes that is not well controlled despite changing to a whole food plant based diet and taking metformin. I've got some PN and I"m motivated to make more changes beecause I do not want a life of pain and today I purchased all the recommended supplements. I also do infra red light therapy and will increase my exercise routine Bottom line: I'm a health nut and I'm very impressed with the expertise of The Nerve Doctors, have not found their information anywhere else.
Try keto
I ordered 300mg for my husband who has been diagnosed as having the beginning stage of.Dementia. I wondered about the dosage for a 117 lb. .man who is still regaining his lost weight, due to colon cancer of several months ago. He is on no chemo or other meds, just supplements, D3 K2 zinc and synthetic B1. I just learned about the better type, which I would prefer.We eat healthy, but my husband has a sweet tooth, and he will not stop sweets. Grrrrrrrrr!
Excellent video - the text, the illustrations, the content - thank you.
Thank you so much. Truly appreciate the feedback. Blessings.
We need all of the B Complex..taking single ones may cause deficiencies in other ones.
I was told years ago an Asuan doctor told me I had a B complex deficiency. My tongue was red & swollen. Then I figured out I have non celiac gluten sensitivity & absorption problems.
Its a very complex subject.
Thank you
Hi P Larkin. I agree with you that everyone (especially those not consuming a healthy, low -carb, well balanced diet) should take an overall B-Complex. However, when you're battling a neurological condition, a B-complex isn't going to do the trick because it will not contain the correct doses for nerve repair. Now, do I recommend still taking a B-Complex while taking a nerve support formula or additional Benfotiamine or methylcobalamin, absolutely. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
If you take 600mg of benfothiamine a day, this is equivalent to about 2400mg thiamine. This huge amount of B1 will require some additional B vitamins (they work as a team) and magnesium. But you might not need this amounts of B1 - depends of the problem you have. You might need only B12 or B9 plus B12, always in their bioavailable forms. But you are right, it is very complicated. It took me years to aquire some basic knowledge so that I can help my two autistic grandsons. But it was worth learning.
Excellent job!
Just started taking it, and I see the difference already. I was only taking one and I need to go get the last two you suggested.
Any side effects?
I had 300mg befothiamine for the first time and started giving my all sorts of issues with heart palpitations, arithmea kind of sensations and frequent urination. Found out you need to supplement with pottasium and magnesium.
I listen to you from France (Dijon), thank you for your videos and your knowledge that you share.

I have acute abdominal nerve pain under my sternum, the right size, it painful feel like someone is jamming a softball under it, thank you for all your help, new subscriber
Not a doctor but get your liver tested....
I do not suffer from diabetes..I suffer from tingling and burning in the body..and as you described my condition before, you told me your condition is mild..thank you..just a note. I just remind you that I have been using r alpha lipoic acid 600mg for a month and a half daily..and my improvement is slow One day I will be better, and one day I will be tired from tingling and burning in the body. What is the reason? ??
First, let me address the pain levels being up and down...this is normal as your nerve begin to heal. The symptoms will not steadily lessen daily. Here's an example of how pain levels decrease. Let's say your symptoms get as high as a 9/10 (10 being the highest pain level possible). As your nerves heal, one day your pain level may drop to a 7/10 for the day, but then the next 4-5 days it will be backup to a 9/10. Then 2 weeks later it may drop to a 6/10. This volley will go back and forth until there's been substantial repair in the nerve. Once there's been substantial repair then your symptom levels will drop and stay down and continue to decrease. Next, let me address your progress being slow...First, we know that nerves are the slowest healing tissue in the body and 1.5 months is not a long time. Even for mild neuropathy cases, it can take up to 8 months to 1 year before the nerve is healed. However, when I'm working with my patients, I never just place them on R-Alpha Lipoic Acid by itself. I always place them on a combination of R-ALA, Benfotiamine, Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate (B6), Methylcobalamin (B12), Folate , L-Citrulline and Acetyl L Carnitine. This combination, in therapeutic doses, will produce the best results. Watch my video: Vital Nutrients for Nerves. This will give you more information. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/wPruq49-ksU/v-deo.html
🙏
This can also be a result of spinal-cord compression. You’ll experience burning, tingling, numbness, then weakness begins. You may wish to get a scan and eliminate this.
@@kirra7406 I underwent a neurological examination, neurosurgery twice..the result was normal. I did all the medical tests and vitamins B12 was also fine..I did an MRI on the brain and the neck was also fine..I don't know the cause of the tingling..until now..the tingling came to me when I only lowered the LDL cholesterol in my cheeks. My body..by changing food. ..and sports..and this is strange..
Dr, Is it good for Parkinson’s patients suffering from hallucinations due to medication?
I've been taking benfotiamine for a while. It *_might_* be reversing the minor neuropathy in my toes, but if it is, it's really slow. Though I think it does help inhibit my restless leg that tends to kick just as I'm almost asleep.
I started taking it to stop tinnitus, but it hasn't done _anything_ for that.
HI Ken. When dealing with Peripheral Neuropathy most people need to be on all of the critical nutrients. Here are videos that I did on this topic:
1) Vital nutrients for nerve repair: ua-cam.com/video/wPruq49-ksU/v-deo.html
2) The Right Dose: ua-cam.com/video/dKMPMPJM4JY/v-deo.html
3) Avoid these Ingredients: ua-cam.com/video/urn0Lb4RMaQ/v-deo.html
Take a look at Dr. Berg's video on a technique for tinnitus: ua-cam.com/video/3MDO8KB3zjk/v-deo.html
Hey Ken. I was wondering on how it would help for restless legs. I have it bad. Did it help right away with your restless legs or did it take a while. Thanks. H
@@Wizwiz2112, the biggest solution for restless leg for me is *magnesium glycinate.* I take 200mg every evening. But it's not always 100% effective. Benfotiamine also helps, yes, on that night. I sometimes also take melatonin and acetaminophen if needed to help me get to sleep.
I just was listening to an article about the dangers of taking this nutrient if you have a kidney damage and I just went on to say that you could have a heart attacks and quite a few other maladies, can you shed some light on this? Thank you, I do enjoy your articles
Good morning, Carlos. Thanks for sharing this. I'm happy to shed light. Benfotiamine is extremely safe for the kidneys and even people on dialysis. In fact, I'm going to share a research study with you that shows it protects the kidneys even while on dialysis. Here's the link: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3083313/
Also, benfotiamine has been shown in research to improve heart function as well as lower elevated diastolic blood pressure. Diastolic number is the lower number on your blood pressure readings. Here's the research on this: bit.ly/3Tood2J
These are merely 2 out of the many studies out there on this topic. I'm not sure where this person received their information but it probably wasn't research related. This is one of the reasons that I ALWAYS base the information that I share with you guys on Clinical research studies. Blessings.
There is so much information - I have watched this video 5 times. You are georgis! Your name is beautiful. You are an infectious speaker - vivacious! I had a stroke and brain tumor was found on the follow-up MRI. The most surprising was so little information was given. Thx for this information - did not know!
Thank you so much. Truly appreciate it! And, I'm so glad the video was helpful. Thank you so much for watching!
Great video. What about using it for GUT issues like IBS & SIBO for constipation, bloating, etc? I have heard it has shown to improve these issues.
Answer to this mam please
This is what I have heard as well.
Really liked your program; your style of imparting info...
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate that!

Hi Doc. I just want to really thank you for all your wonderful inputs on health issues. I have mornings when I wake up with numb hurting hands. I want to start taking this Benfotiamine but when I google it, so many brands show up and I don’t know which one to buy. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks Doc. Have a wonderful day!
