I can vouch for Elliot and his knowledge on thiamine. After a consult with him I started mega dosing Thiamine and Riboflavin and after a few days it lifted me out of debilitating headaches, depression and a broken down body that could barely move. I've spent 10's of thousands on specialists chasing some relief and this champion nailed it on the first consult and in under 90 min. Can't thank him enough and I'm looking forward to working with him in the future
Do you mind me asking what brand of Thiamine and Riboflavin you are using? After watching this I’m keen to experiment myself. I am currently trying Carnivore without great success and have issues eating liver, two things Elliot mentioned.
Recently, I had megadosed about 1.5g of thiamine a couple times (and am considering high-dose riboflavin as well) to treat ADHD-induced anhedonia. It was too soon to tell its mental effects, but physically there was a huge difference in how effortless even walking became, and this is from somebody without fatigue. If I weren't on a budget, then I'd love to experiment more with thiamine megadoses. It can't hurt!
Elliot really is a genius. He's the ONLY nutritionist who constantly talks about thiamine (on YT I should say, Lonsdale has his blog)... and him constantly talking about thiamine is the ONLY REASON I began taking allithiamine. And I realized within 30 mins of taking benfotiamine.. my heart rate dropped so dramatically, I've always had a fast, racing heart... but for the 1st time in my life I couldn't feel my heartbeat. And immediately realized something was up. Then that same day ordered a giant bottle of allithiamine. I thought going into a food coma after eating a small bowl of rice & chicken was normal. I thought not being able to digest at least half of all my food was completely normal. That peeing 30-40 times a day was normal. I thought spending an hour every morning just taking minerals, aminos, vitamins was totally normal. I thought being depressed, anxious & tired most of my waking life... was perfectly normal. And what's crazy is thiamine hydrochloride was one of the first vitamins I bought years back. I merely went through 1 bottle, didn't notice much (other than more energy/slightly better mood) but that wasn't enough to catch my attention. Moving to the fat soluble thiamines was a totally different story. Now after 3 weeks of benfotiamine (150mg) and allithiamine (100mg) I can't even begin to explain how different I feel. Eating food no longer makes me feel like I'm eating poison. It actually gives me energy again rather than taking naps. I pee so much less. I've already had to cut my minerals as they feel so much stronger. My mood is better, my attitude, my stress coping & anxiety, my motivation... everything is slowly improving. I still have "detox days" where I feel horrible, but it was much worse weeks 1 & 2. And now I'm gonna up my allithiamine likely to 200mg a day. Elliot if you ever open up a practice by NY or NJ I would like to take my whole family to see you. Or maybe just pay you for virtual consultations because MANY in my family have these symptoms. They've paid thousands for useless treatments & I'm the only one in the family actually getting healthier now. I've noticed a lot of italians seem to be thiamine deficient because we're raised on macaroni, pasta & coffee. When I was young every other day we had pasta or macaroni for dinner and looking back now it all makes sense why I developed this problem. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE WORLD A GENUINELY BETTER PLACE YOU ARE AWESOME. And thank you for perpetuating the message of Lonsdale & Marrs in a format (YT) that can now be found by younger people who refuse to read. Thank you thank you thank you.
Just came across this man. What a fountain of knowledge. I am a great fan of orthomolecular medicine but didn't know how much thiamine was so important. Great info. Thanks again.
I can also vouch for Elliot and his knowledge on thiamine , he is extremely beneficial to my health he is working with me closely and the only person who digs deep and helping my brain and body . i am very unwell and without Elliot i would not make it . Please reach out for his help
@@vkngwmn6636 I hear that is greatly beneficial for head up ass syndrome. Try it and get back to us on this topic . LOL! (Was a comment deleted or something?)
I had such a long list of illnesses that escalated over 15 of more years then yes a high stress situation sent me suddenly completely down all the way. Then shingles that wouldnt go away. Doctors suspected a virus then MS but were no help. I was completely nonfunctional. High Vitamin supplements got me out of bed and eventually 95 % well. B1, D and E are at the top of my list along with probiotics and good fungi. But I took everything at some point building myself up. All the help came from utube. I got genetic tested and am homogeneous 677tt. That info helped alot. Pretty great for a 58 year old lady.
@@MartineReed in genetic testing people that are 677tt have problems with methylation of nutrients and enzymes issues. I have two mutations of the same problem, so double trouble. Knowing that has helped me know how to help my illness syptoms, like taking methylated b's since my body has trouble with that step.
I agree that he is a genius. Excellent video very informative and think this is my problem in regards to inflammation that I have lately. I think sulfates are the problem and Ive been eating alot lately which reduces thiamine
I agree, the modern environment we live in probably necessitates nutritional supplementation. The liver needs much greater support in order to detoxify exposure to various pollutants e.g. pesticides. The liver is very B-vitamin hungry when performing these tasks, as lots of energy is needed for the functioning of phase 1 and 2 detoxification enzymes. It's a shame that people, even in the alternative health space seem to disregard nutritional supplements, I think perhaps it's because they are unfamiliar with functional health and it's testing.
Agree with sunlight for sure, throughout the day. Sitting outside in the waning uva as i write this. But nutritional yeast may be compromised by its manufacturing. I do eat it and feed it to my rawfed cat (non-negotiable for his taste palette) but Dave Asprey has spoken about how it’s loaded with mycotoxins and I wonder since it’s so highly processed. Jury is out.
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview, absolutely brilliant! Look forward to watching more and learning about this 'underrated ' vitamin. Elliot, hats off to you! Thank you.
Just want to say after watching one video and learning about B1, I started taking bentothiamine and my symptoms have improved 70% I would say. Seems like my metabolism is much improved. Energy is much higher, stomach pain is diminishing but not getting too excited yet. I’m not as afraid to eat anyone. Most likely was low in b1. Haven’t megadosed yet but want to try it.
Amazing information. I am on 100 mg of Allithiamine TTFD and taking nutritional yeast Non-fortified. Tomorrow i will up my B1 to 150mg. I do feel the tiredness and anxiety at times... but when i take NAC it reduces the symptoms. Thank you for your great work. I will report my progress on my CZcams channel and explain what was happening. Im documenting everything. 🙏💯👍
Another superb presentation that every medical student, internist and primary care physician should watch. Would like discussion on thiamine and kidney function - have stage 4 ckd initiated by acute kidney failure from doctor-prescribed lisinopril/ibuprofen interaction. Too numerous to count adverse side effects from other pharmaceuticals, but no help for kidneys or hypertension. Many, many of the low-thiamine symptoms you have mentioned on your channel, so am going to try benfotiamine, as have already tried regular high-dose thiamine, which was instant cure for arrhythmias.
You are very intelligent and I am going follow you from now on. I currently suffer from type 2 diabetes, bloating and very strong stinky gas, and frequent diarrhea!! As a side note you have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen!! And I thought my wifes blue eyes were very beautiful but, not as great as yours!!!🤗✝️
I think this has been an issue for me at least since I was 8 - well over 50 years (I had a year of physical stressors - very strange and unusual ones, including surgery and psychological trauma - so that was the trigger year). I've been disabled for nearly 20. And what you say about weight is true for me. I've never eaten much of any sweets & junk food (don't keep it in my house and we were too poor when I was a kid). But I noticed early that my body doesn't handle carbs. When I feel better, weight falls off of me, and when I get worse, weight piles on. I'm eating more when I'm more slender (120 lbs for a 5'6" woman), but I still couldn't eat a lot of carbs, but I could eat more, and I'm not fully well even when I'm in that state. And then, something happens that sends my health into a spiral and the weight comes on and won't come off. (This has continued during disability though feeling better is measured in smaller degrees.) I know people look at me and assume I'm well fed (I'm just shy of being overweight re BMI @ 154lbs), but it's too much weight for my body, as it's mostly in my gut and my waistline is too big. Also, because I've not been well since I was 8, I haven't each hardly any processed foods in my entire life (e.g., food allergies and labels in foods showing too many additives and such). We didn't eat processed foods in my home growing up either. It annoys me that the assumption is that we heavier people are eating bad food. I've had health care professionals tell me that Fibro (one of my conditions) is because of what I eat. I could slap them upside their f'ing heads. They are not in my home; they have no clue how clean my diet is. I'm also pre-diabetic, and I have been for over 20 years, despite eating a diet most people with diabetes would be advised to eat. I did a keto like diet before it was named keto, but that only lasts for a while re energy. (And it cured the chronic diarrhea I was having.) I couldn't afford to keep up with the vitamins (loads - including high doses of Bs three times a day) and the pistachios and sunflower seeds that seemed to help. (I'd researched all of the potential nutrient deficits that I had, but I didn't write down what I did and so that was lost to time.) I didn't know what it was about what I was doing that was actually helping me, but in the end I discovered that keto alone wasn't it. (When I tried it later after developing chronic diarrhea again, it didn't solve it and after a year I fell into total disability and had diarrhea for 10 years.) So, I thought what I did was coincidental - that it was a spontaneous recovery (yet, still incomplete). That said, I knew, even suspecting that keto might be part of the issue, I needed to eat oats (some carbs in my diet) and so I have. I'm probably within the Candida guidelines re carbs because of how I've gotten used to eating even with eating my morning oats. I've looked at the SNPs related to thiamine and I have numerous mutations, particularly the TPP SNPs. I'm just now organising liposomal glutathione (have other supports in place) so I can increase my thiamine consumption. I've been taking 120mg for a while now. 100 Benfotiamine and 20mg HCL - to no benefit of course. I'd gone up to 500mg a day of Benfotiamine because I'd heard high doses help, but didn't know about the 1800mg therapeutic level, and so, I dropped back down when nothing happened, figuring that wasn't the issue. I've ordered the TTFD and TPP forms, because I suspect a genetic issue with TPP, and will begin this process soon. I have homozygous MTHFR and have finally figured out what my body needed to get folate levels up last year (magnesium in a form my body could handle... without it I couldn't have more than a crumb without serious side effects and with it, instantaneous ability to consume as much folate as I wanted). It wasn't a moment too soon as I'd developed megaloblastic anemia. I'd given up trying to find a magnesium supplement I could handle because my serum levels were normal (learned that's not a sign that they are in fact normal), but I discovered that a symptom I was having meant that I was in fact low in magnesium and then I stumbled onto magnesium glycerate.
I’m so sorry for the terrible time you have had for so long. I have long Covid not too bad now but I’m a full time carer for my 30 yr old daughter who has cfs and fibromyalgia and is bedridden. She has been vegan for 18 months, I am on keto which suits me. We are just about to start her on B1 etc she has been so ill for 16 yrs. I hope you feel a bit better today,
Thank you for giving props to Orthomolecular Medicine. It has gotten lost in the clamor of the diet wars. I used high dose niacin with a mentally ill loved one and it worked wonders. Thanks to Dr. Abram Hoffer. Someone who everyone here should delve into.
I am a new subscriber and so thankful for this wonderful info that you share on this channel. Can you please discuss if B1 deficiency is linked to PCOS especially since B1 has effect on diabetes. And some PCOS types have insulin resistance. Low energy is another key factor of PCOS. Would be great if could throw some light on any possible link here.
Excellent. Thank you. OAT indicated I needed all the Bs, especially B12, but even after getting it up, I still had some fatigue and “bad breathing”, which I’d had for awhile (like over 15 years). Air hunger. Very tiring. I did take a bit of extra thiamine, outside the B-complex, but when I learned about high-dose thiamine for CFS, I decided to give it a go. Lo-and-behold I had better breathing than I’d had in years. I still have energy issues, though. As for the other Bs, riboflavin made me feel exhausted (maybe this is like liver making someone tired?), and niacin gave me scary ocular symptoms. It’s one giant puzzle, trying to figure it all out. I’m up to 900 mg twice a day of both benfotiamine and sulbutiamine. I wonder if I should try higher still (remaining fatigue).....
Nah, it's not better to ditch the carbs altogether. I like Ray Peat's approach of moderate carbs mostly in the form of simple sugars and safe starches if one's digestion can handle them.
Stop believing everything you hear from youtube diet gurus or people who are selling books or supplements. One says eat this, the other says don't eat it. They can't all be right.
EONutrition Looking forward to seeing this. I have bradycardia and POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) with low blood pressure. Thiamine has given me many improvements, but I still have bradycardia and low blood pressure.
Chech his video on "Can keto & Carnivore diet fix Thiamine deficiency" . Talks about symptoms of Thiamine, including unexplained chronic low blood pressure( its me all my life ).Low blood pressure, up down blood sugar(IR) , very high activity level(ADHD - stuck on sympathetic brain activity, adrenaline seeker, unable to relaxation and self comfort (life was very exhausting mental and physically). The only way to shut off everything was to drop exhausted from physical activities, just to wake up with no signs of mental rejuvenation(all experiences heavily weighted, pilled up in my mind). I am very athletic, very productive, looked for help everywhere, and the doctors always told me that i was very healthy on all my exams and tests. But i knew something was off in my inability to relax and self soothing. That's when i started researching everything on my own, even having no basis on medical education at all. I had no choice. I did not want Adhd or depression meds, because it felt just like a band aid that could cause other main issues. I was looking for help to cure my issues not for more problems to add to my already challenging ones. This young men is amazing on his profound but simple explanations. 😊
Excellent discussion, gentlemen. My theory on the initial bad symptoms in ramping up the B1, from my personal anecdote and opinion, is that when coming off of the Cori cycle dominance, lots of lactic acid gets freed up in the liver and other tissues causing an elevated metabolic acidosis that needs to be flushed out. I personally had high urine pH for awhile and took a half teaspoon of baking soda 2x a day away from meals and felt much better until my pH returned to normal.
I've been there. I live in UK, and most don't realise but the heavy drinking here is caused to depression. All sort of "addicting behaviour" is a run away from suffering tool wich it gets worst, cause we don't wanna grow , we stuck like Peter Pan in an imaginary world of pleasure. Most man love to complain about everything nowadays. We need to be that change we long for. One reason most of this happend is due to lack of what made western society. Lack of religion has become lack of purpose, we live in a materialist unhappy world , chasing to self fulfil ourselves with the vain. Wish you best health.
@@markothwriterit is possible, all we need is Conscious decision followed by disciplined action. The fruits of discipline are worth it, there is always something that can fulfill more in hard good work. God bless.
@@agrikantus9422 Wow. A man who dares to speak the truth. Find God in your life and you will find meaning. It works for my husband and me. Find a hobby that requires physical labor if you aren't in that kind of a job. Take up raising a garden or something but work into it so you don't get discouraged. Hang in there because recognizing a problem is the first step.
As a physician on top of all of the nutritional aspects you also have the negative effect of the drugs they are taking on depleting micronutrients i.e antacids, digoxin Ladin Hydrochlorothiazide birth control and HRT, and anti seizures like Dilantin and sonisamide... whole lot of drugs that effect various points. Other drugs also deplete other micronutrients like metfomin depletes vitamin 12
I have a real important emergency question you said something about polyphenols and blueberries does that have anything to do with the absorption of thymine or has if I'm eating blueberries or any any fruits with polyphenol in it well that hurt me or that hurt it anyway if I take thiamine supplements or put it block the absorption it thank you
I was in a horrible car accident because a drunk driver crashed into our car. my body went halfway through the window and I nearly died. one year later I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic. It was interesting to hear them saying this podcast that could have been the trigger. I just started taking benfotiamine for my diabetes. I'm not sure what's the best brand or dosage I should take. Any advice would be very much appreciated;) thx! Oh yeah I'm also eating low carb/keto and fasting 16/8 every day
Elliot can you give info on benfotiamine and progressive supranuclear palsy? I've read some good things on its effects on the brain. I need a guideline for anything that may help recovery from or even delay the progress of progressive supranuclear palsy. Thank you, I look forward to your input.
Othromelcular! Yeah! Thank you for bringing this into the discussion. I have had great success with this approach and applaud Abram Hoffer and Pauling. The argument for what is natural and what is not is well done 👍🏼 I SO agree about the “tipping point” or “point of no return”. The scenario I witnessed was prior 7 years of Veganism. (Severe deficiencies) followed by abuse of high potency marijuana ( probably for self medicating) that became the trigger to push the person right over the deg into severe schizophrenia paranoid delusional disorder. Veganism and weed: a very bad combo. On the up side. So glad I discovered orthomolecular, because High dose Niacin saved them. Is there any correlation. Between those who were doing extreme vegan for many years who had worse diarrhea when switching to Carnivore? Perhaps their enzymes have been wrecked by anti nutrients and Enzyme inhibitors?
Going from vegan to Carnivore is a shock to the microbiome, since it involves two completely different microbiome for digestion. One set of bacteria will die off to be replaced with whole new set of bacteria that digests the new type of foods. This takes time, and can result in up to 2 mos of bowel issues. This is completely normal
Im cured by veganism, its the only thing that keeps me alive. Before that I was sick all my life. So it depends what you eat. To just say ‘vegan’ isnt enough
@@themothers Keep the cure....get off the death diet... it's only a matter of time before dis-ease set in...then sickness..vegan is great for short term healing/reset only.
Am I missing something here. Can I go to the vitamin store and just load up on the vitamin B1 Which I assume is Thiamine and Riboflavin. Or are we talking shots from a nutritionist or a doctor?
Wow. Insane. I have never heard of beriberi until today. I am certain that is the insane mystery illness I had starting January of this year. It was insane rapid degeneration. I’m pretty sure I had the wet and dry beriberi all at the same time. I seriously thought I was going to die. then I learned about oxalates and it totally changed my life and the symptoms went away!
What do the kidney stones caused by oxalatetion look like compared to other stones? The spiky stones you talked about sounds like the ones caused by uric acid and is found in gout as well.
Elliot i think im not a carnivore candidate i have gout and fibromyalgia, i started my journey using benfothiamine and other supplements following your protocol and looking at all your videos, thank you for giving me hope to get better🙏🤓much appreciate you
Very interesting what you mentioned about folate being low on carnivore Elliot - worth megadoses, normal supplementing, or including some plant foods to get it?
Best explanation as to why eating WhITE RICE SUSHI after being carnivore for months, gave me an anxiety attack. Wow a double whammy on the thiamin! Alcohol blocking thiamin. Sounds like you have nailed the source of hangover. I. E. Feeling like 💩. One question: would you recommend thiamin to help with oxalate dumping?
Elliot. I am wondering if there are any studies on thiamine defficiency children with autism. After 14 years of struggling myself with weird neurological symptoms, thanks to you I started on Thiamine and within 2 weeks my symptoms we're gone almost completely. I have 3 children with autism and now I ask myself if my defficiency could have something to do with their condition.
Pretty sure that Dr Lonsdale observed thiamine deficiency in people with autism. Do a search. Also people with autism (my son) have autonomic nervous system issues-stress , anxiety, digestive issues, flight/fright-so I’m going to add this to his other supplements ! 🤞🤞
If you dig into whole foods, potato, meat, fruit, vegetables. Their nutrient matrix is perfectly set up for the body to utilize it seems. Even cooking to a degree alters that matrix. Potatoes have high carbs but simultaneously more thiamine, manganese, potassium, etc all necessary to handle sugar. Our processing system and fortification methods are killing us because of whatever we're exchanging. You probably strip food of a lot of unknown helpful compounds doing this.
I was wondering if those that cannot tolerate liver is that they are sulfur sensitive......like me.? It makes me very tired and burp egg taste when i had no eggs. Makes for body odor as well. This is only with a fairly small amount as well.
All the foods I react to on the IgG test are high sulfur. I even had to stop eating bananas too even though they are low sulfur but they DO contain sulfur & I do react to them! I cant eat any liver because it makes me severely bloated and I have virtually NO Appetite at all for like 2 days. No matter what I eat or dont eat I am burping all the time. So yes the liver is related to sulfur.
Hi Elliot, my son has global delay and is non verbal. Most of his life is taken up with tummy cramps. He's 29yrs now and I am constantly searching for an end to his pain. We have had the help of our Nutritionist who also does kinsiology since abt 7yrs and even she is baffled by not getting to help him fully still. Doctors and tests have been no help. Your videos gave widened my scope further. Our Nutritionist out me onto the oxilates videos the other day. His diet seems restrictive enough and it's been a minefield trying to get the right thing. I feel so helpless. He doesn't swallow supplements so we have to be careful what we give him as some eat thru the tooth enamel. But enzymes are always mentioned by our therapist.
Elliot how do you plan on growing your body? You must be 'robust' and exceed macros and micros with sensible heavy eating where you gauge sluggishness vs feeling robust by the hour by the day. Milk and fortified GRAINS, if we want the body to be faster
I agree with a lot of this.but eating just animal foods causes a whole lot of other probs. I'm someone that has severe allergies and intolerance to oxalates salycylates and lectins and life long asthma hospitalised now copd and eczema.hoping thiamax can help me. I do b complex and nutritional yeast for vit b
@Late Laterson i cant get a b1 im happy with. I used pure synergy b complex but thats plants but better than synthetic for me. Synthetic is dangerous..so now i use zell oxygen nutritional yeast cell broken down for best absorption. Vit b should always be taken as complex as they work in synergy with eachother. But each to there own..the dr i was listening too said you can overdose on bs. So its such a complex issue
Hi Elliot.. thanks for the great information... i was wondering if this applies to my issues .. i am carnivore OMAD.. i transitioned from keto to carnivore.. i noticed feeling a bit light headed and a strange kind of pressure and burning in my head for a while now .. i now have a strong burnt smell in my nose since i used some pesticides last week .. i cant eat beef or chicken liver which upsets my tummy .. do i need to take thiamine and if so .. how much .. plzz .. thanking you in anticipation.. lotsa love from Johannesburg South Africa xxx
Naseemah Allyson are you adding salt? Are you getting a lot of fat? When I do carnivore I make sure to get some pork for thiamine and selenium. A lot of people that do carni don’t eat pork but I find it helps my tinnitus and stops my lips from peeling like they always do.
@Sandi Baby312 For example: My black/blue toenail cleared up, the strength in my legs came back, my sleep improved. But it was only after around 30 days that i raised the dose of Thiamax from 100 to 200 mg that my digestion improved back to normal (for me). Btw, ia am 70 kg.
additionally, magnesium is a cofactor in the krebs cycle, maybe also directly involved with B1. B1 needed for taking up magnesium? and on the other side taking high doses of D3 that needs magnesium to convert into 25 hydroxy vitamin D and depletes magnesium which makes you tired. so, maybe taking magnesium + B1 is a good idea
How do you purchase thiamax.as there is no buy button..is there any stock if there is can i arrange to buy some. I sent a message on contact page a few weeks ago but got no reply
in diabetics type 2 there is also the problem with the fatty liver that is overproducing glucose. but of course, if B1 can be optimized and together with low carb then blood sugar levels should get down which also lets insulin get down and then increases fat burning which resolves fatty liver
@@pragavirtual over consumption plays a role but is not the cause. there are many people who consume huge amount of carbs while not getting diabetes type2. at the end, it is the sum of carb consumption and gluconeogenesis in the liver. a lack of GPL-1 can be seen as cause of excess gluconeogenesis. but there is of course a cause for the lack of GLP-1. (not having the right fiber and the right gut bacteria)
If the cells have to become saturated with very high doses of Vit B1 because of a chronic deficiency, how would i handle this when my body cannot tolerate any supplements ? Any advice or suggestions from people out there who have had similar experiences would be highly appreciated. thanks in advance
Maybe you should try some fasting and or a elimination diet like carnivore. Be aware that some problems take 2 days to resolve and other take more than 2 years. Im on a keto/ carnivore diet for 2 years and depression only realy went away in the last few months.
wow, B1 is important in metabolizing choline . Ive tried taking Choline many times to help with fatty liver. choline it puts me into a zombie like fatigue state all i can do is sleep when i take it.. it takes 48 hours to pull out of it. I cant take a small enough dose to eliminate the effect. Im going to try B1 to see if it helps.
Excellent podcast thanks gentlemen 😊could B1 deficiency cause loss of muscle mass over time ? I am reactive and intolerant to almost everything I eat and drink. This includes supplements as well. Could this also be as a result of B1 deficiency ? PLEASE HELP 🙏
Research carnivore eating, lectins and oxalates with Sally Norton and Susan Owens. Mikhaila Peterson could probably identify with you. Kelly Hogan on myzerocarblife has a recent guest who might be able to help you too.
I can vouch for Elliot and his knowledge on thiamine.

Do you mind me asking what brand of Thiamine and Riboflavin you are using? After watching this I’m keen to experiment myself. I am currently trying Carnivore without great success and have issues eating liver, two things Elliot mentioned.

Paul Willow What type of thiamine are you using? Lipothiamine? Benfo?
Elliot really is a genius. He's the ONLY nutritionist who constantly talks about thiamine (on YT I should say, Lonsdale has his blog)... and him constantly talking about thiamine is the ONLY REASON I began taking allithiamine. And I realized within 30 mins of taking benfotiamine.. my heart rate dropped so dramatically, I've always had a fast, racing heart... but for the 1st time in my life I couldn't feel my heartbeat.

I thought spending an hour every morning just taking minerals, aminos, vitamins was totally normal. I thought being depressed, anxious & tired most of my waking life... was perfectly normal.

I merely went through 1 bottle, didn't notice much (other than more energy/slightly better mood) but that wasn't enough to catch my attention. Moving to the fat soluble thiamines was a totally different story.
Now after 3 weeks of benfotiamine (150mg) and allithiamine (100mg) I can't even begin to explain how different I feel. Eating food no longer makes me feel like I'm eating poison. It actually gives me energy again rather than taking naps. I pee so much less. I've already had to cut my minerals as they feel so much stronger. My mood is better, my attitude, my stress coping & anxiety, my motivation... everything is slowly improving.
I still have "detox days" where I feel horrible, but it was much worse weeks 1 & 2. And now I'm gonna up my allithiamine likely to 200mg a day.
Elliot if you ever open up a practice by NY or NJ I would like to take my whole family to see you. Or maybe just pay you for virtual consultations because MANY in my family have these symptoms.

I can also vouch for Elliot and his knowledge on thiamine , he is extremely beneficial to my health he is working with me closely and the only person who digs deep and helping my brain and body . i am very unwell and without Elliot i would not make it . Please reach out for his help

my extreme pain from Fibromyalgia went at least 95% away from getting on keto diet!
You removed the offending food.
I had such a long list of illnesses that escalated over 15 of more years then yes a high stress situation sent me suddenly completely down all the way. Then shingles that wouldnt go away. Doctors suspected a virus then MS but were no help. I was completely nonfunctional. High Vitamin supplements got me out of bed and eventually 95 % well. B1, D and E are at the top of my list along with probiotics and good fungi. But I took everything at some point building myself up. All the help came from utube. I got genetic tested and am homogeneous 677tt. That info helped alot. Pretty great for a 58 year old lady.
Tammie G What does homogeneous 677tt mean? Thank you.
@@MartineReed in genetic testing people that are 677tt have problems with methylation of nutrients and enzymes issues. I have two mutations of the same problem, so double trouble. Knowing that has helped me know how to help my illness syptoms, like taking methylated b's since my body has trouble with that step.
Has your 677tt status changed? There are those out there who think that high dose B2 cures this issue

Excellent discussion on the importance of Thymine. You are an excellent communicator of complex physiological processes.
These videos are priceless for anyone's health. Thank you.
EO is an absolute genius. Another great video 👍
Watched a lot of videos
I agree that he is a genius. Excellent video very informative and think this is my problem in regards to inflammation that I have lately. I think sulfates are the problem and Ive been eating alot lately which reduces thiamine
@@annavistica846 could be a lot of things cause inflammation I find MSM helpful
I can listen to him for hours. And do!
Thank you.
I agree, the modern environment we live in probably necessitates nutritional supplementation. The liver needs much greater support in order to detoxify exposure to various pollutants e.g. pesticides. The liver is very B-vitamin hungry when performing these tasks, as lots of energy is needed for the functioning of phase 1 and 2 detoxification enzymes. It's a shame that people, even in the alternative health space seem to disregard nutritional supplements, I think perhaps it's because they are unfamiliar with functional health and it's testing.
Sunlight and organic nutritional yeast ought to be go to first of the first of real medicine for health!
Agree with sunlight for sure, throughout the day. Sitting outside in the waning uva as i write this. But nutritional yeast may be compromised by its manufacturing. I do eat it and feed it to my rawfed cat (non-negotiable for his taste palette) but Dave Asprey has spoken about how it’s loaded with mycotoxins and I wonder since it’s so highly processed. Jury is out.
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview, absolutely brilliant! Look forward to watching more and learning about this 'underrated ' vitamin. Elliot, hats off to you! Thank you.
Thank you 🙏 can’t tell you how informative I found this.
Thanks for pointing me in this direction. Looking forward to learning more
Just want to say after watching one video and learning about B1, I started taking bentothiamine and my symptoms have improved 70% I would say. Seems like my metabolism is much improved. Energy is much higher, stomach pain is diminishing but not getting too excited yet. I’m not as afraid to eat anyone. Most likely was low in b1. Haven’t megadosed yet but want to try it.
How you holding up now? I just started TTFD / Keto

Another superb presentation that every medical student, internist and primary care physician should watch. Would like discussion on thiamine and kidney function - have stage 4 ckd initiated by acute kidney failure from doctor-prescribed lisinopril/ibuprofen interaction. Too numerous to count adverse side effects from other pharmaceuticals, but no help for kidneys or hypertension. Many, many of the low-thiamine symptoms you have mentioned on your channel, so am going to try benfotiamine, as have already tried regular high-dose thiamine, which was instant cure for arrhythmias.
I am learning so much. Thank you

Love the way he talks about thiamine.

Liked this interview as it answered questions about me having trouble with going such low carbohydrate.
Thankyou for all your information x
I think this has been an issue for me at least since I was 8 - well over 50 years (I had a year of physical stressors - very strange and unusual ones, including surgery and psychological trauma - so that was the trigger year). I've been disabled for nearly 20. And what you say about weight is true for me. I've never eaten much of any sweets & junk food (don't keep it in my house and we were too poor when I was a kid). But I noticed early that my body doesn't handle carbs. When I feel better, weight falls off of me, and when I get worse, weight piles on. I'm eating more when I'm more slender (120 lbs for a 5'6" woman), but I still couldn't eat a lot of carbs, but I could eat more, and I'm not fully well even when I'm in that state. And then, something happens that sends my health into a spiral and the weight comes on and won't come off. (This has continued during disability though feeling better is measured in smaller degrees.)
I know people look at me and assume I'm well fed (I'm just shy of being overweight re BMI @ 154lbs), but it's too much weight for my body, as it's mostly in my gut and my waistline is too big. Also, because I've not been well since I was 8, I haven't each hardly any processed foods in my entire life (e.g., food allergies and labels in foods showing too many additives and such). We didn't eat processed foods in my home growing up either. It annoys me that the assumption is that we heavier people are eating bad food. I've had health care professionals tell me that Fibro (one of my conditions) is because of what I eat. I could slap them upside their f'ing heads. They are not in my home; they have no clue how clean my diet is. I'm also pre-diabetic, and I have been for over 20 years, despite eating a diet most people with diabetes would be advised to eat.
I did a keto like diet before it was named keto, but that only lasts for a while re energy. (And it cured the chronic diarrhea I was having.) I couldn't afford to keep up with the vitamins (loads - including high doses of Bs three times a day) and the pistachios and sunflower seeds that seemed to help. (I'd researched all of the potential nutrient deficits that I had, but I didn't write down what I did and so that was lost to time.) I didn't know what it was about what I was doing that was actually helping me, but in the end I discovered that keto alone wasn't it. (When I tried it later after developing chronic diarrhea again, it didn't solve it and after a year I fell into total disability and had diarrhea for 10 years.)
So, I thought what I did was coincidental - that it was a spontaneous recovery (yet, still incomplete). That said, I knew, even suspecting that keto might be part of the issue, I needed to eat oats (some carbs in my diet) and so I have. I'm probably within the Candida guidelines re carbs because of how I've gotten used to eating even with eating my morning oats.
I've looked at the SNPs related to thiamine and I have numerous mutations, particularly the TPP SNPs. I'm just now organising liposomal glutathione (have other supports in place) so I can increase my thiamine consumption. I've been taking 120mg for a while now. 100 Benfotiamine and 20mg HCL - to no benefit of course. I'd gone up to 500mg a day of Benfotiamine because I'd heard high doses help, but didn't know about the 1800mg therapeutic level, and so, I dropped back down when nothing happened, figuring that wasn't the issue. I've ordered the TTFD and TPP forms, because I suspect a genetic issue with TPP, and will begin this process soon.
I have homozygous MTHFR and have finally figured out what my body needed to get folate levels up last year (magnesium in a form my body could handle... without it I couldn't have more than a crumb without serious side effects and with it, instantaneous ability to consume as much folate as I wanted). It wasn't a moment too soon as I'd developed megaloblastic anemia. I'd given up trying to find a magnesium supplement I could handle because my serum levels were normal (learned that's not a sign that they are in fact normal), but I discovered that a symptom I was having meant that I was in fact low in magnesium and then I stumbled onto magnesium glycerate.
I’m so sorry for the terrible time you have had for so long. I have long Covid not too bad now but I’m a full time carer for my 30 yr old daughter who has cfs and fibromyalgia and is bedridden. She has been vegan for 18 months, I am on keto which suits me. We are just about to start her on B1 etc she has been so ill for 16 yrs. I hope you feel a bit better today,
thanks for all the notes
Thank you for giving props to Orthomolecular Medicine. It has gotten lost in the clamor of the diet wars. I used high dose niacin with a mentally ill loved one and it worked wonders. Thanks to Dr. Abram Hoffer. Someone who everyone here should delve into.
Such an intelligent young man
I am a new subscriber and so thankful for this wonderful info that you share on this channel. Can you please discuss if B1 deficiency is linked to PCOS especially since B1 has effect on diabetes. And some PCOS types have insulin resistance. Low energy is another key factor of PCOS. Would be great if could throw some light on any possible link here.
Excellent. Thank you. OAT indicated I needed all the Bs, especially B12, but even after getting it up, I still had some fatigue and “bad breathing”, which I’d had for awhile (like over 15 years). Air hunger. Very tiring. I did take a bit of extra thiamine, outside the B-complex, but when I learned about high-dose thiamine for CFS, I decided to give it a go. Lo-and-behold I had better breathing than I’d had in years. I still have energy issues, though. As for the other Bs, riboflavin made me feel exhausted (maybe this is like liver making someone tired?), and niacin gave me scary ocular symptoms. It’s one giant puzzle, trying to figure it all out. I’m up to 900 mg twice a day of both benfotiamine and sulbutiamine. I wonder if I should try higher still (remaining fatigue).....
Tracey Baldwin these deplete methyl donors. Would start titrate dosing with methyls otherwise will deplete methylation with downstream effects
A problem with whole grain rice is that the lectins are high, see Dr Grundy, best to ditch carbs altogether
I agree
dr. william davis
Whole grains bad, better ditch the carbs. Well that escelated quickly...
Nah, it's not better to ditch the carbs altogether. I like Ray Peat's approach of moderate carbs mostly in the form of simple sugars and safe starches if one's digestion can handle them.
Stop believing everything you hear from youtube diet gurus or people who are selling books or supplements. One says eat this,
the other says don't eat it. They can't all be right.
I would love to see a video discussing the ways in which thiamine deficiency might impact blood pressure.
I'm in the process of making a video about the cardiovascular effects of thiamine deficiency
EONutrition Looking forward to seeing this. I have bradycardia and POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) with low blood pressure. Thiamine has given me many improvements, but I still have bradycardia and low blood pressure.
Chech his video on "Can keto & Carnivore diet fix Thiamine deficiency" . Talks about symptoms of Thiamine, including unexplained chronic low blood pressure( its me all my life ).Low blood pressure, up down blood sugar(IR) , very high activity level(ADHD - stuck on sympathetic brain activity, adrenaline seeker, unable to relaxation and self comfort (life was very exhausting mental and physically). The only way to shut off everything was to drop exhausted from physical activities, just to wake up with no signs of mental rejuvenation(all experiences heavily weighted, pilled up in my mind).
I am very athletic, very productive, looked for help everywhere, and the doctors always told me that i was very healthy on all my exams and tests. But i knew something was off in my inability to relax and self soothing.
That's when i started researching everything on my own, even having no basis on medical education at all. I had no choice. I did not want Adhd or depression meds, because it felt just like a band aid that could cause other main issues. I was looking for help to cure my issues not for more problems to add to my already challenging ones.

Excellent discussion, gentlemen. My theory on the initial bad symptoms in ramping up the B1, from my personal anecdote and opinion, is that when coming off of the Cori cycle dominance, lots of lactic acid gets freed up in the liver and other tissues causing an elevated metabolic acidosis that needs to be flushed out. I personally had high urine pH for awhile and took a half teaspoon of baking soda 2x a day away from meals and felt much better until my pH returned to normal.
Could you use other things to detox ie charcoal
This is brilliant
For people who can't eat liver, it would be good to check their zinc levels, as they may be copper overloaded.
I had a real hard B1 defficiency. I was eating keto and meat- but I was drinking too much alcohol. Very bad combo.
I've been there. I live in UK, and most don't realise but the heavy drinking here is caused to depression.
All sort of "addicting behaviour" is a run away from suffering tool wich it gets worst, cause we don't wanna grow , we stuck like Peter Pan in an imaginary world of pleasure.

I was in a horrible car accident because a drunk driver crashed into our car. my body went halfway through the window and I nearly died. one year later I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic.

I SO agree about the “tipping point” or “point of no return”. The scenario I witnessed was prior 7 years of Veganism. (Severe deficiencies) followed by abuse of high potency marijuana ( probably for self medicating) that became the trigger to push the person right over the deg into severe schizophrenia paranoid delusional disorder. Veganism and weed: a very bad combo.
On the up side. So glad I discovered orthomolecular, because
High dose Niacin saved them.
Is there any correlation. Between those who were doing extreme vegan for many years who had worse diarrhea when switching to Carnivore? Perhaps their enzymes have been wrecked by anti nutrients and Enzyme inhibitors?
Going from vegan to Carnivore is a shock to the microbiome, since it involves two completely different microbiome for digestion. One set of bacteria will die off to be replaced with whole new set of bacteria that digests the new type of foods. This takes time, and can result in up to 2 mos of bowel issues. This is completely normal
Im cured by veganism, its the only thing that keeps me alive. Before that I was sick all my life. So it depends what you eat. To just say ‘vegan’ isnt enough
@@themothers Keep the cure....get off the death diet... it's only a matter of time before dis-ease set in...then sickness..vegan is great for short term healing/reset only.

Elliot. I am wondering if there are any studies on thiamine defficiency children with autism. After 14 years of struggling myself with weird neurological symptoms, thanks to you I started on Thiamine and within 2 weeks my symptoms we're gone almost completely. I have 3 children with autism and now I ask myself if my defficiency could have something to do with their condition.
Pretty sure that Dr Lonsdale observed thiamine deficiency in people with autism. Do a search. Also people with autism (my son) have autonomic nervous system issues-stress , anxiety, digestive issues, flight/fright-so I’m going to add this to his other supplements ! 🤞🤞
If you dig into whole foods, potato, meat, fruit, vegetables. Their nutrient matrix is perfectly set up for the body to utilize it seems. Even cooking to a degree alters that matrix. Potatoes have high carbs but simultaneously more thiamine, manganese, potassium, etc all necessary to handle sugar. Our processing system and fortification methods are killing us because of whatever we're exchanging. You probably strip food of a lot of unknown helpful compounds doing this.
What do you think of liquid thiamine mononitrate? Is that a good form of thiamine?
Can low b1 cause fear feeling anxiety
I was wondering if those that cannot tolerate liver is that they are sulfur sensitive......like me.? It makes me very tired and burp egg taste when i had no eggs. Makes for body odor as well. This is only with a fairly small amount as well.
All the foods I react to on the IgG test are high sulfur. I even had to stop eating bananas too even though they are low sulfur but they DO contain sulfur & I do react to them! I cant eat any liver because it makes me severely bloated and I have virtually NO Appetite at all for like 2 days. No matter what I eat or dont eat I am burping all the time. So yes the liver is related to sulfur.
Could it be because of not much roughage to help it through quicker so build up of probs with

additionally, magnesium is a cofactor in the krebs cycle, maybe also directly involved with B1. B1 needed for taking up magnesium?
and on the other side taking high doses of D3 that needs magnesium to convert into 25 hydroxy vitamin D and depletes magnesium which makes you tired.
so, maybe taking magnesium + B1 is a good idea
That makes sense
How do you purchase thiamax.as there is no buy button..is there any stock if there is can i arrange to buy some. I sent a message on contact page a few weeks ago but got no reply

That is unfortunate. I don't do business with Amazon because they are an anti-democratic monopoly.
in diabetics type 2 there is also the problem with the fatty liver that is overproducing glucose. but of course, if B1 can be optimized and together with low carb then blood sugar levels should get down which also lets insulin get down and then increases fat burning which resolves fatty liver
Diabetis t2 been glucose overproduction by the liver is new to me. I tought it was overcomsumption oof refined carbs and sugar by the "user".
@@pragavirtual over consumption plays a role but is not the cause. there are many people who consume huge amount of carbs while not getting diabetes type2.
at the end, it is the sum of carb consumption and gluconeogenesis in the liver.
a lack of GPL-1 can be seen as cause of excess gluconeogenesis.
but there is of course a cause for the lack of GLP-1. (not having the right fiber and the right gut bacteria)

Thanks for your videos. As a result I put myself on 100mg b1 and 1000mg msm every three hours. Let’s see how it goes.
Results?
Yup I take 300 MG spread out throughout the day and has been amazing for me. May go to 1000 after a week and see what happens
@@BK-dy8jk Sounds good. What form are you taking it in?
I bought some enriched yeast to try.
Excellent podcast thanks gentlemen 😊could B1 deficiency cause loss of muscle mass over time ? I am reactive and intolerant to almost everything I eat and drink. This includes supplements as well. Could this also be as a result of B1 deficiency ? PLEASE HELP 🙏
Research carnivore eating, lectins and oxalates with Sally Norton and Susan Owens. Mikhaila Peterson could probably identify with you. Kelly Hogan on myzerocarblife has a recent guest who might be able to help you too.

I have POTS and my Consultant told me dont take Thiamine b1 as it could make it worse. Anyone have any advice for me?
Your consultant told you not to take nutrients because it would make you worse. My advice is a new consultant.
My sister in law is taking B12 for POTS.
@Sandi Baby312 ill look into this thank you
