Important to note: B1 increases demand for B2, but adding B2 may not do anything if there is an underlying iodine, selenium, and/or molybdenum deficiency. As most are iodine deficient and unaware of it, adding iodine-iodide such as Iodoral can be extremely helpful. Very important to check into this, as iodine (as well as selenium and molybdenum) is necessary to activate B2. A B1 therapy "crash" can be avoided or fixed by having enough of these other important cofactors.
Thank you so much for sharing this 🙏
@@MaroArmoni You are very welcome! Lessons learned the hard way - hopefully others can learn more easily than I. ;)

Is there a product which combines all 3 and has a good quality, you maybe using
You’ve Changed My Life! I’ve Lived in Chronic Pain for 20yrs and Never Knew I Had ALL The Symptoms of Fibromyalgia And Vitamin B-1 deficiency!
I started Taking Vitamin B-1 and B Complex And My Pain Has Cleared Up and I’m Off the pain Medication!
THANKYOU 😊
What type of B1 did u take
@@princessdee01 #Solary B-1
Hi, which form did you take and at what dose? I am myself suffering really bad with pains and fatigue. I am one year into motherhood and it’s nearly impossible for me to the parent I always wanted to be with all this going on!
@@garimajagota841try Thiamine HCL first it's the cheepest form. It has helped me with pain.
@@garimajagota841 It looks like they said they were taking Solaray B1, which comes in 100 mg tablets. You could always cut/break a tablet in half to start out.
I like how you confidently plug your company but also give credit to your competition. It shows that you are confident your stuff is better/worth it.
this stuff is legit ! turmed me into a task fiend !
first time I felt like my true self in years , this deserves much more attention and research, good job Elliott
I got into Health Food in the 1970s when I was in junior high school and the first book that I bought was Carl Bragg's book who was Jack LaLanne's mentor and got Jack LaLanne well because he was sick. Along the way I have realized that stresses cause your body to use up several vitamins and nutrients and you may not know this and are suffering because you're eating Comfort foods high in sugars and are processed with terrible ingredients added including the incorrect types of vitamins and mineeals which make it worse. I just ran onto this guy's videos but I've been watching Dr Eric Berg's videos on TH-cam for quite a while and I suggest you check him out too.
You're The Man mate! Three weeks into a mix of thiamine nitrate (500mg daily) and benfotiamine (600mg daily) the numbness, pins and needles and stabbing pains in my toes mainly has stopped, ceased, gone away! In a world of shamless greed, your selfless sharing of your knowledge is a blessing. I wish you every success in the marketing of your own products where even there your promotion of same is understated. You're an unusual legend.
vit b1 has changed my life , no getting up to pee during the night for me.
Did it take three weeks for you to notice benefits?
@@Patrick-rr2qw Normally give it a few weeks 2-3 weeks.
Yes. This is exactly what I'm interested in. You're both a scholar and badass. Thank you.
This was so helpful as I’m just getting started after finding you a few days ago. Thank you!
This video changed my life. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I started taking Benfotiamine this week after watching this video and it fixed symptoms that years of taking thyroid medication and consulting endocrinologist after endocrinologist didn’t address. Thank you!
That's good news. 2hat brand are you using? Thanks.
Which brand?? And whered you buy it
One week is not enough time for a vitamin to fix years of ongoing thyroid issues. I call BS.
Thanks for this im going to see an endo soon and will definitely bring this up!
Bless
Dude you are awesome! I love how transparent you are. And you are not shoving supplements at us or anything. I’m a new supporter & look forward to trying these things out :)
This is such a good and much needed video, thank you so much!
Nice video Elliott. Always informative and well presented
EONutrition I just want to say thank you for spreading this information. Life has change ever since I supplementing B1. My POTS brought on by COVID and ADHD symptoms has improved dramatically. No more chronic fatigue, brain fog, my memory is amazing now. I never had a good memory before. I’m considering coming off my ADHD medication. Also my heart rate is normal some days without medication, its been less than a month btw. I’m not lying when I say this is most energetic and happy ever felt. Thank you once again 🙌🏾
Thats amazing. Would you be willing to come on my channel to share this?
@@EONutrition I would love to 😌
@@korkor40 Awesome!!! Can you please email office@eonutrition.co.uk and we can get something scheduled :)
Thanks for writing this comment. This just have me hope! I have been disabled by pots and weakness for years but I swear it’s just Beri Beri but being in a wealthy country- no one believes it. It has to be some rare genetic thing! The propensity may be but I think it’s just Deficiency!
@@EONutrition thank you.
After rewatching MULTIPLE of your videos, I "think" I have my brain wrapped around what I need to do and how... I tries before, BUT the "other ingredients" in "other" supplements & foods I was taking seemed to have played a role in making things worse rapidly... I have restarted "what was working" (both supplements & highly restricted foods) and am already taking gradually increasing doses ABOVE what I was able to tolerate before feeling miserable before.. also, with a MUVH greater understanding = which is HARD TO DO "when" one's brain is fogged and not working very well.
I am taking a thiamine with the other b vitamins and niacin as well. Im taking potassium and magnesium too along with vitamin c.
In just a few days, my digestion and elimination have drastically improved. I added chlorophyll as well.
Im very pleased to have found your videos.
Hi would you care to share dosage for each? This is very similar to what I plan on taking
Kindly advice the dosage and brands
What kind of magnesium?
Looks like she doesn’t want to share info
@@Manihsipeople are really selfish smh … even helping someone’s with something that determine their health and she doesnt want to i hope those supplements she taking get stuck in her a**
You’re the man Eliot. Much appreciation!
OMG! I just found this channel and started looking into it recently. I had what I could only imagine was fibromyalgia (never DX) but had pain EVERYWHERE didn't even want to wake up and get out of bed most days, and had brain fog and fatigue. Started eating No Sugar No Grain and taking the recommended brand B vitamin (thiamine), magnesium-threonate, and normal vitamin D and most of the pain went away. Went from a constant 7-8/10 to an intermittent 2-3/10, disk issues are there but don't prevent me from living. Now I feel like I'm in my 20's. There are channels that are good and then there are channels that are a public service, this is the latter. This is the place to start for those who are looking for answers and don't want to get caught in the prescription drug cycle!
I have fibro. When I start to get that everything hurts I know I am low on omega 3. Chugging a tablespoon of chia seeds in water stops it.
@@KathleenJ thanks for the tip!
Nothing but awesomeness. Thanks, E.O.
Checking in again to revise your info, no wonder I'm struggling with Benfotiamine, my capsules are 1,000mg and I've been taking 2 daily!
I wish you had a million subscribers already. Everyone needs to know about this. I think the world would be a better place if we weren't so thiamine deficient.
Or B12 deficient. That too is a massive problem worldwide, doctors aren't educated on it.
@@binathere2574 or see a nutritionost, people aren't educated about their existance, like yourself
What is a cap shul?
@@jaredzimmy I don’t know what this is referring to, but it probably is “capsule” that was meant.
@lizzyjeanne lol you are right! Accents!😉
I appreciate your honesty and straightforwardness about this vitamin an brand names. ❤
Great great Video, very concise and gives me the confidence to try your protocol - I have just ordered your product on the back of it. I Recently went carnivore and saw some improvement but then after 1 week many of my symptoms worsened (muscle/joint pain, digestion) which after watching your videos I understand as oxolate dumping. Following you then led me to your all your detailed Thiamine information and my symptoms fit that, I have been chronically constipated for decades and have used enemas to manage it. Fibromyalgia symptoms have worsened since having the flu/covid several months ago. Many symptoms fit your B1 description, looking forward to trying it!
Where are you from Today?
Thank you for your help and information.
My energy and overall health seriously changed for the better when I started high dosing Thiamine❤
Just in time! I needed this. Thank you!
Thank you for making this much needed video.
This man channel is very informative and powerful.
I've been doing this to combat long covid induced Parkinson's and I'll confirm that symptoms get worse for a few weeks before it gets better, I better slowly
Hey, I developed symptoms that could be related to Parkinsons roughly at the time I got my first shot. Would you mind describing me what you experienced and how you treat your symptoms?
Great information. Very well detailed. Thank you
Thanks very much for your help, keep up the great work
Just ordered the thiamax from your website,
I want to say thank you for all your info on this subject I have a feeling this could change my wife’s life & mine too as a result 🤞🏼🤞🏼
It is because of your information I found in 2021, I started to take B1...I believe along with omegas, increasing red meat, try to reduce stress and homeopathy my health "feeling" has improved in digesting carbs better. Sally Norton and you also opened my eyes to oxalates which I cut out of my diet by 80%! What an improvement. Thank you so much.
100%, I didn't think about oxalates when I started eating ancestrally. But now when I've cut out the high oxalate fruit and berries, I've noticed how the cells could start dumping what they had stored. Now I'm also going for B1. Going to be interesting seeing if I feel ay difference. I've eaten too many carbs in my previous years without any good supplementation of B-vitamins
@@Juznik1389 carbohydrates are the body's preferred energy source, ketones don't work as effectively. Carbohydrates also lower cortisol, the body's stress hormone (as does magnesium and B12) Ditching carbs is a bad idea as long as you're not getting all your carbs from junk food. What's a better idea instead is to make sure you have all the right minerals and enough glycine to properly metabolise and use sugar properly. Sugar metabolism needs enough copper, magnesium, chromium, zinc, and sunshine. Glycine is made internally at 3g but a study found 15 g is needed if recycling glycine properly and possibly as high as 36 if not recycling it well. The average person gets 3-5g in their diet leaving everyone with a shortage of 7-9 grams and worse if poor recycler or bad genes that are preventing internally making of glycine by the body. You can either get extra glycine from bone broth, jello, or gelatin supp or just get some glycine powder. Not a doc. As always use caution and do own research
@@dprice81 Why do our teeth decay when eating carbs and not when eating meat? Is carbs really the preferred energy source when it clearly degenerates the body? Why are carbs not essential for humans to eat but fat and protein are?
What brand do you take please?
@@bettyausten9533 I just bought TTFD from Ecological Formulas
This is super useful! Thank you!
Mate you saved my life quality! 3 days in using B1 combined with an organic multivitamin powder and I feel like a brand new man! A part of me is surprised that this therapy is not making more waves...another part knows exactly why it probably doe$n't ...keep up the great work!!
May we know sir which brand and where u buy b1 and organic multvitamin.. thank you for your sharing
Shear with us witch brand are you using??
but is it for the long term
@@pedrosousa8512bro you watch every video just like me🥺.
The AMA and The Micheal J Fox group both denied the application of these therapies in mainstream medicine. Makes you wonder why…
I have just purchased your supplements , and hope my improvements continue . I had had some real benefits just using 3 b complex tablets daily . It's been decades since i had energy at night and didn't feel like i was burning up / temp wise . I had had the heat issue explained as energy bit being correctly produced . And now it's all starting to work i believe , hence why I've purchased your b vitamins from your site in support of you .
Fantastic work , advice and knowledge .
Thankyou ever so much Elliott 👍😀💯
You good? Update us homie
Frowm where you purchased thiamega?
Elliot - your presentations are so complete and informative - a real blessing. Your videos on oxalates have been helping me tremendously. The symptoms you go over in your videos on B1 deficiency match my history of symptoms and food choices. I am thinking your protocol for handling B1 deficiency will be as majorly beneficial to me as your low oxalate protocol. Extreme thanks to you for all your care and hard work!
I also have sibo and kidney stones and am on two different diets. I’m struggling so I’m interested in going through the protocol. I’m unemployed and cannot buy his protocol unfortunately. I’m going down the right path
@@dandersohn Follow the recommendations in the video. The "protocol" is not necessary for most people
@@EONutrition Hi Eliott, i found a old video from you but it seems you took it from YT, about how b1 can help with heavy metal detox, you said in the fb post that this is possible not the case for benfotiamin, do you have new infos on that? I started high dosage of benfotiamin 4 days ago (600-900 rn) and feel alittle bit better, someone said that it could be a nano particulate poisoning, i thought it was maybe b1 deficiency after searching the last 10 months for the reason behind my symptoms. Only thing that happend was covid - 12 months later it started really bad for me. Thanks a lot!
@@EONutritionis thiamine hydrochloride & mononitrate toxic?
Can HARDLY believe I am STRONGLY considering this usage. After all I KNOW that mega-dosing big pharmas so-called vitamin C has caused massive deaths from cancer world-wide in spite of how many claim it is just wonderful for the common cold, etc. Linus Pauling, wife Ava, and their GP doctor were the first THREE to megadose such...all of them passed away from CANCER from what their program was doing to their bodies. Yet here I am STRONGLY considering using this guys protocol in the video, something I have known about for around 3-4 years now or so. Makes me wonder if I will get lucky on this one. Strange world we all live in let me add. I can imagine SOME of you may be clueing in a little bit about how this works, after all Linus was BRILLIANT at one time, his FOUNDATION he left also is very favorable towards megadosing big pharmas B1. Yet they still have zero clue about how Linus killed both himself and wife, and doctor on his advice (with cancer). They STILL promote his absolutely deathly rich industrialist mindset that is ENSCONCED in megadosing a horrible made in a lab chemical like made from GMO corn vitamin C. Also I CLAIM THIS CLEARLY knowing what is contained in the CLINICAL GUIDE TO THE USE OF VITAMIN C by Dr. Klenner. I know it can be used to save lives according to that manual. Yet still what I have claimed very CLEARLY by connecting all the dots I have about Linus, and crew dying from cancer from the same POT of ideas STANDS. I would LOVE it if some of the more knowledge-able doctors on these topics COULD understand at least some of my words...seems like they are too busy with their businesses (money) more than the HEART of the matter...and that truly disappoints me because I am RARELY extremely a good person per se...yet in this area I appear as an utter saint compared to any greed-monger for sure!@@honobuyonezawa2054
I greatly appreciate this video!
Thanks for sharing the video!
i just received my bottle of Thiamix couple days ago. I Started with half broken capsules, because i wanted to make sure i didnt feel negative systems as u described in video, but in that nothing negative happened, just few hrs ago, i took a whole capsule; Hoping to feel better from having very low energy, hence, extreme fatigued, brain fog, cant focus, poor quality life style do to these. I take lots and lots of vitamins for years, nothing seem to help...i hope this is the miracle cure i been searching for what seems to be forever. I will keep u posted. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Are u taking vitamin D3? Or checked vitamin D levels or dont get enough sun? Fatigue low energy might be low vitamin D.
It’s been 5 months. Update?
R.i.p @@heyitsleyy
Would love an update
Okay, thanks for clarifying the side effects. I took a higher dose yesterday, I felt really irritable. I will stack it with magnesium and potassium next time!
Thank you for this ... super human and helpful
This is probably spot on! I was diagnosed with me/cfs fibromyalgia and I was declining terribly! Was in the hospital Dr for days because I could barely walk! And severely weak. I started LDn and b12 shots and came to life in 3 weeks!!! It’s 3 years later and still better but not cured and I do the diet the supplements the therapist the therapies!! You name it and still not where I was before but I also had surgery for gallbladder and hysterectomy for endometriosis and getting there so anyone with just one of these conditions I could see the b1 helping even more!
Same diagnoses as you and getting on LDN soon. How do u feel these days? Did u try taking b1 yet?
Thanks for posting this. I bought the workbook a week ago but haven't touched it. With my brain fog and horrible concentration it seems like a huge task. This will help me ease into it.
Also take vitamin D3
Wow that's exactly how I feel every day
Exactly how I feel. You're not alone. I can't even read or concentrate on doing the research on the cure to my illness. The NHS is hopeless. It's by luck I've found this channel. I'll be starting on b1 soon and I hope it helps. God bless you. I hope you recover fully and get to live your life to the fullest again.
Thank you for all your videos. God bless you. Your videos have helped me a lot.
How have they helped you?
Great video, many thanks.
Very helpful information, thank you!
Benfotiamine has outperformed TTFD at increasing thiamine levels in the brain in trials and demonstrated higher bioavailability. It was also effective at reducing amyloid deposition in the brain, whereas TTFD was not.
Any chance you have that paper, journal or report on the performance of Benfotiamine outperforming TTFD?
That's great to hear, TTFD gives me a bad feeling like something I've had in garlic pills before
@@CharlesWolfeSkate that might be a sulfur reaction

I have ordered your Thiame protocol package and also take magnesium, potassium and zinc. So desperately want it to work for me because almost my whole adult life has been ruled by my poor digestive health. Thanks for this video.
What brand are you using?
Me too
Are you feeling any better? Sleep and very sluggish digestion are my main issues.
@@bartginger123 thanks for your interest. I bought 2 lots and finished them a few months ago. I have not repurchased because I have implemented several other dietry changes which are now working well for me. I have rid myself of all ultra processed foods and eat a mainly high fat, carnivore diet. I seem to have sustained energy levels throughout the day and zero cravings for food. My guts are calm providing I stick with the animal foods. Hope that helps.
@@bartginger123sluggish digestion has to do with a sluggish liver. Milk thistle and dandelion root may help
Thank you, so much for the information. I pray that I'll have a son like you one day. Blessed are his parents.
Great info !!! I became an alcoholic working on sobriety ! However I notice a lot symptoms of B1 deficiency! Such fatigue, shortness of breath,lost of appetite,loss of muscle mass gastrointestinal issues, started a B1 regimen of 💯 mg daily my initial symptoms decreased after a week on B1 my diet always Included B1 however alcohol was depleting my levels of B1 because I also drank on a empty stomach one of the major symptoms was shortness of breath 24/7 I thought it was my alcohol withdrawal symptoms however ran up on info on the internet and I got me some B1 asap its been 2 weeks of B1 and my symptoms have decreased a lot my appetite is back I make sure that I eat foods rich on B1 always Plus doubled my dose to 400mg as I said I am struggling with alcoholism so when. I am drinking I always make sure I drink plenty of water and food Rich in B1 however sources tell me alcohol does let your body absorb B1. As well so don't take it when boozing as I said I am working on the issue of alcohol however I resumed my regimen when sober it's a struggle however I want to point out and emphasize that alcoholism was the main cause of my B1 deficiency!!!B1 has helped quite a lot in these 2 weeks my shortness of breath is decreased my appetite is back my sleep is getting better so I will continue B1 and will continue to work on the main cause of B1 deficiency
Alcohol !!
Thanks for your B1 types and ways of intake
Добавьте NAC. Он поможет вам избавиться от зависимости
Alcohol 🍸 also depletes other minerals...Magnisuam Potassium etc.. so please ensure u are taking these as well. Good luck on your journey. ❤
😢😢
Keep up the good work of being free from the pains of alcohol. You are in my prayers.
B12 definitely is depleted by heavy alcohol use...the symptoms of B12 depletion are breathlessness, feeling cold in tge extreme, feeling very anxious and getting nerve pain and very often bad lower back pain.
There's some very interesting research and practical use of high doses of vit C and B12 and other vitamins in rehabilitation centres in Germany.
Once people got all the vit and mineral deficiencies sorted they found the craving for alcohol went away..
The mental aspects of addiction are another side of any addiction issues too but at least if you can get your body deficiencies corrected first it will make you stronger and able to deal with the mental aspects in time.
Best of luck in your journey.
Perfect video to answer my question on side affects. Just started taking TTFD and on day 3 with a headache. Getting ready to say gooodbye to 4 years of chronic fatigue. So thankful to have found your chanel after trying so much else. Excited to see whats to come 😊

@EONutrition Elliot what form of Thiamine do you think is the best for epilepsy?! Love your content!!!!
Greetings from Germany. A thousand thanks for your information about thiamine. I started since one week to take every day 250mg Thiamin HCI vegan best quality, plus magnesium. The following agonies are already over after one week: severe chronic arthritic knee pain, heavy legs especially in the evening, numb feet, general fatigue. (Of course I do daily exercise anyway, sports, gymnastics) I have as a pensioner unfortunately not so much money to purchase your protocol pdf, but I just wanted to thank you very much.
Glückwunsch, das freut mich!
Thank you for telling your symptoms that went away. I have all the same ones except for the numb feet, but they do get cold. I just started taking Barimelts 12.5mg that dissolve in your mouth, from Amazon. Since I need to start out low and work my way up, hopefully these will help. Your comment helped! From USA.
@@src5769 oh , thankyou for your comment. Great to hear such results. I shall research Barimelts, thankyou
Thank you for the help I just ordered some trying it for the first time! 😊
I have been on the TTFD now for one month . I started with 50 than 100 then 150 and I am now on 200 . Have not seen any ill effects as I already have so much all over muscle and joint pain as it is . My goal is to increase to 500 and keep on that dose for some time until I see results . If anyone knows of higher doses that we can go with this form of thiamine , please let me know !
One thing I have noticed at the 250 TTFD dose is that before when I took a deep breath and my forearms and hands would tingle as if it was hard for oxygen to get to my extremities. Now if I take a deep breath I don’t have that feeling ! So progress in nerve issues I believe .
I wasnt getting any where so i lissten to your client and the coment and started to b1 hcl started taken 300 mill three times aday with benfotimine .
It is starting to work .
Nerves calming down , axiety going.
Thankyou .
hi! could you share more? I'm about to order b1 but not sure about the types. should I take both b1 thiamine as hydrochloride AND benfotiamine too? thanks in advance.
@@naturalbyjess hi sure ,
Start slow with benfotimin and work up to 300 mg, you gotta take a multie b vitamin too or you deplete the others but you probably need them too .
You have to be carefully with the ingredients.
You do not want synthetic b 6 , very dangerous . You want p-5-p b6 and as for b 12 methycobalamin . No other . B 12 not good .
I also use other b 1 .
Be aware you may detox .
It took me awhile too get results but it is working .
He has a list of his web sight and he also has a good video on high doses and how to
Contract some of the symptoms.
Hope this helps .
Hi also have hectic anxiety. What are you using?
@@jeremylink7701 hi well I was taking Benfotimine . High doses . I am transitioning to carnivore diet .high fat diet and that seems to be slowly working for the anxiety.its a process .
@jeremylink7701 go put your bare feet on the ground outside. It will help with anxiety. Do it for at least 1 hr daily
Great content !
Elliot , I’m looking at giving this protocol a go as have nerve damage and PoTS blood pooling issues from prescribed pregabolin for anxiety ( now off )
Could this protocol help blood pooling in feet ?
Also last year took high doses of p5p b6 to lower prolactin and unsure if this added to nerve damage .
I’m scared to take b complex with b6 in it invade it’s due to b6 toxicity .
Is there any way around this without taking b6?
Thanks
Just excellent research

@@cosasverdeshow much were you taking each day? TTFD?
Great content Elliot, very insightful and thought provoking - thank you for sharing. I have recently started taking TTFD without the additional supplementation as I was not aware of this. I have a history of finding certain supplements difficult to digest/absorb and I assume it’s the quality. Can you recommend any specific brands/ compounds for the B complex, potassium and Magnesium? Think I saw Mag malate in another video? Many Thanks!
Adam, could you have leaky gut? If so, I used powder l_glutamine 1/2 tsp on empty stomach 2x a week for about 3 weeks and all the belching I had been doing for years just stopped! Also then had much better absorption of my Vit D3 so my blood test shot up from 50 to 90. I had also started taking about 400mg magnesium daily about same time after the l_glutamine success. So the mag may have had great additive effect. Gerd pretty muched stopped also after using the l_glutsmine regularly. Now I take it a fre times a week or another stomach digestive product from Well of Life that has the l_glutamine in it with other good stuff.
Thorne make a seriously high quality b complex. Magnesium threonate is a very good form for crossing the blood brain barrier. Take the b complex on an empty stomach upon waking and your thiamine before bed with a whack of magnesium threonate and watch your body and brain heal itself

Salad, cauliforous veggies and acidic fruits. Works for me I feel great! And I live in the desert so I started drinking cactus water and water with lemon & salt to help with electrolytes especially in the summer heat.
Excellent excellent information.
I needed to hear this. Today was my first day of B1 at 100mg and had diarrhea. I was discouraged as I thought this vitamin wasn’t for me. Now I know to build slowly rather quickly. Thank you.
Thanks! Day :3 on benfotiamine- symptoms bad, stayed in bed most of the day….just shuffling along - planning on improving!
now how you feel?
How did this work for you?
Hi Elliott. Whit the clinical notes , there's an error under niacin and nutritional interaction it says the same thing as what is said about riboflavin (B2) it does not say anything about Niacin interaction. Which has made things more difficult for me when trying to identify what nutrition I'm lacking. Thanks
Thanks for valuable informations
Benfotiamine HAS HELP ME with nerves in leg ,feet . thank you 4 this info .
Thanks for the info! I have a ton of signs of B1 deficiency. I got put on an SSRI which helps but it hasn’t fully resolved the issues. I read that adding B1 to an SSRI can improve it (I also read SSRIs leach B1). I’m taking 100mgs of B1 HCL right now (only 3 days so far) but am switching to allithiamine when I get it in the mail. Do you have any suggestions on how to switch over with that dose? I also notice a worsening of symptoms but then it seems to improve throughout the day. Is that sorta what happens? Im glad you mentioned that in your video.
update??
how is the allithiamine for you?
B1 does increase serotonin in my experience.
Always such a pleasure listening to your videos !! My husbands blood pressure is normal but his pulse rate varies between 90-110 bpm. I am wondering if B1 supplementation would help with this ?
Start with 10mg of B1 a day and build up to 100mg.
But make sure his getting enough magnesium!! spray him with magnesium chloride each night and watch how his heart keeps its pace. I had this issue it really helps. My arrhythmias are much less too.
And get him a UVB lamp for reptiles. I bath myself under it and make my own vitamin D ;)
It’s needed for magnesium to work believe me .
Get him plenty of potassium too. Avocados and bananas are awesome. But blend him 30g of hemp seeds too and make a smoothie for him and he’ll get 200mg or Magnesium from that alone. Plus 3000mg of omega 3!
Give him a tablespoon or brewers yeast per day too. That’ll provide him with very bioavailable B vitamins..
@@Bait1official This is brilliant and so very welcome THANK YOU !! I appreciate the time taken to write to me. He already takes B1, not too sure of the quality we have here in SA, but he takes 100mg three times weekly. He needs to take many other supplements like magnesium chloride which he sprays twice daily covering his legs and arms and also takes a very drops internally. He also takes iodine twice weekly, selenium, D3 & K2 twice weekly, Vit C everyday, sole solution, and potassium chloride and Rosita Cod liver oil. Just small pinches of potassium chloride because I’m fearful of taking too much of this. Furthermore we’ve been paleo/Keto for about 10 years and progressed to carnivore about two years ago which has made a huge difference. My husband has daily chronic stress and pressures. I think this is the main contributor to his loss of muscle mass. His weight remains the same but past six years he has lost so much muscle mass that he is quite fragile and looks way older than he actually is. His arrthymias were terrible about a year ago but the increase magnesium and potassium has sorted that out. I will definitely recommend that he gets a UVB lamp! I think brewers yeast tends to cause his Candida to flare up which carnivore diet and mineral supplementation has sorted out. He doesn’t do well eating veggies nor fruit so I believe his gut still needs some healing probably exacerbated by the stress. I will keep you posted regarding your other suggestions. Thanks for caring x
Yes, and magnesium taurate.
Nice work! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you MUCH !!
I started taking 600mg Benfotiamine w 1000 mg TMG along w Quicksilver methyl B, lots of MG and K citrate before bed. It pushed my liver to detox ...caused a bad headache..but it shot my HRV up 20 points on my Whoop. I dropped the Benfotiamine and TMG in half and felt great and the HRV went up even a bit more. There's something to this!
HRV?
@@RepublicOfWesternCanadaNOW heart rate variable. It's an indicator of health and used to assess the body's ability to recover.

Wow. Dang that was i was having a headache. B1 also detox liver?
If you are worry about your lever get on Keto and start taking Tudca
Good information thanks. I have Parkinson’s and have found that the vitamin 1 therapy really works wonders. Starting on 1/15/24 I will be leading a group of 20 folks who have Parkinson’s through this protocol. You are recommending magnesium as a supportive nutrient which is good but do have an opinion as to what form of magnesium would be best for this purpose? My guess is either magnesium glycinate or threonate. What are your thoughts. We are planning to start this protocol on 1/15/24.
Also thed talk about which mag supplement is best depending on different types of pills or infusion
I subscribed after watching this video!
thank you for this video, I’ve ordered a short course worth of B1 (TTFD), to test whether this therapy shifts anything for me. cross fingers
I've had severe fibromyalgia for 37 years and really appreciate how you call it what it really seems to be, dysautonomia. Before seeing your videos and due to neuropathy, I have been taking 150 mgs. Benfotiamine for several years with no change. I recently raised it to 600 mgs. and it helped my neuropathy some. I raised it to 1,200 mgs. and that is helping the depression, and I would do just about anything to ease that, since it is far worse than my worst physical symptoms. The problem is that my neuropathy was originally caused by B6 toxicity from taking a B50 complex that was prescribed for me. B6 does build up in the body, unlike the other B vitamins, and I have been told by the neurologist to never, ever take more than the RDA of B6 again. She told me she wished she had a dollar for every case of B6 poisoning she'd treated that year! It took a year of severe insomnia and other symptoms for the pain to even become bearable, and I am afraid to take B complex again, but realize I cannot continue to take such high doses of thiamine without taking the whole B complex also. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, what did you do to handle it?
I have been writing in these forums for years about something I just did again here. Very little knowledge on any of these topics I have asked for has been forthcoming...instead all I basically got was attacking and disbelieved. I wish you well in seeking your answers for this question. I am quite sure that you will do better than I have in the past. Hopefully now that I have put a new POST above under the video I can get some more data to assist in making good choices. Basically it IS SIMILAR to your request in that it is casting suspicion on many of BIG PHARMAS practices, highlighting in specific how megadosing something like artificial vitamin C (often made from GMO corn now) caused the demise of the first THREE practitioners of such from cancer which were Linus Pauling, his wife, and their GP doctor. Of coarse the foundation of the same name (Pauling Inst.) claims that megadosing C & B1 are beneficial. If someone wants to state that clearing away a common cold in the short term is worth dying from snowballing massive cancer formations as per the usual, I would state DO MORE RESEARCH about long term effects obviously. You should start with the deaths of the first THREE adherents. So the FACT that big pharma has a lot to answer for in the deaths of these three is clear...yet ON THE OTHER SIDE of the coin there is also something known as THE CLINICAL GUIDE TO THE USE OF VITAMIN C, a short free online book written by a Dr. Klenner basically. In that manual you can learn how to SAVE lives with big pharmas artificial vitamin C made in a lab. So remember I know BOTH sides of this situation...I doubt that the wonderful doctor in the video above who seems to be so super helpful to others even knows HALF of one of the sides...that is where I am at now...yet I am SLIGHTLY desperate, so NUTTY as I am I am even considering taking a chance on high B1...yet there is a part of me that it just rubs the wrong way...like there has to be some kind of long term desasterous thing this more or less white coat in the video (oenutition) is promoting IMO...believe me I wish it were otherwise! Honestly world is garbage enuf with all the nonsense, how about just this once we get lucky and the guy in the video is actually doing OTHER than people like Linus pauling was (causing people to die basically in the long term). I really hope for some BENEFIT for everyone here, I honestly do, things could use some GOOD change for us all :)
I was just wondering what form of b6 you were taking? I have neuropathy in my feet that developed from a bad reaction to a blood pressure medication years ago. I took various b complex vitamins not realizing the pyridoxine form of b6 can be harmful but that the form pyridoxal 5 phosphate is safe and shouldn’t cause this issue. I take the Thorne brand which is good quality. Do some research on this type of b6 and see if it is helpful. Take care.
@@nclibrarian8766- I studied Naturopathy, so I knew to take only the P5P form of B6, but still was not taught that Vit. B6 is not flushed out like other B vitamins, and the Neurologist who diagnosed my B6 poisoning told me. Also, if you have any MTHFR gene mutations it can build up to dangerous levels, along with B9 if it's in folic acid form. I have 2 mutations, and there are 4 of them in total. 60% of people have at least one. People with fibromyalgia seem to have at least 2 of them. The B Complex I was told to take had 50 mgs. of each B vitamin. The Neurologist told me never to take more than the RDA of B6 again, which I believe is about 2 mgs. When I developed neuropathy, I was taking the prescribed brand 3 x daily as prescribed for Lyme, or 150 mgs. of B6 per day. When tested, my B6 level was more than 5 times over the upper end of normal. If I had it to do over, I would try Standard Process, since they use the natural forms in tiny amounts. Now, I use an SL form of B complex which is only a bit above the RDA and I cut them in half. I'm glad the P5P is working for you without issues.
@@nclibrarian8766what blood pressure meds were you on to cause this ? What are you taking now ? Thanks
If you are worried about the b6 in b-complex supplements,just buy your other b vitamins separately and don't take any b6. I had a similar situation and I just started buying my b vitamins separately and taking them that way without any b6. Also,the p5p form of b6 can be a safer option as it has less of a chance of becoming toxic.
Thank you for this as I felt awful on 100mg B1 and was so jittery and anxious I got scared and stopped taking it. I will split the capsule and start again.
@caleb reed I ended up buying 100mg as a tablet and take a quarter every day for now, I will increase slowly. The capsule stuff tasted awful! Not sure of any improvement just yet but I can tolerate the lower dose.
Same here but I noted when I take beef liver capsules Grass-fed symptoms reduced
with b complex and magnesium 800 mg w 4700 mg potassium
@@adellemccann1865 have you figured what works to reduce the bitterness of the broken capsule
Thank you. Subscribed.
I have just discovered your channel and I think it is great however you may wish to slow down the rapidity of your speech. I am old and I have to replay sections over and over to catch what you are saying. I could read the script but I need to the context. Cheers 😊
Thank you so much, Elliot. Yet again. You recommend B complex, pottasium and magnesium, would you be so kind to suggest how much would be a good place to start with all three? Thank you for your kindness.
mag 300 for woman - 300-500 for men (you have to test it how you feel) Some do 600, its way to much for me for example. potassium 600-1200 or eat more foods rich in it - also see how you feel, if you get cramps it is probably one of them 2. my b complex is just every b vitamin 10x normal daily’s dosage. works for me
Thanks Elliot for all of your advice. I have started taking 1500mg of Thiamine HCL and just after 3 days I am feeling the benefits of less Brain Fog and increased energy. I jumped straight in with a high dose, in for a penny in for a pound I say lol.😁
I didn't feel any better on 1500 mcg Thiamine HCI. I have felt better on Bentotiamine and Allithiamine. I'm going to try Elliott's brand next.
@@ParallaxView111 when you take benfotiamine?
Are you taking only b1 ?
@@wandaikhwan536 yes. Benfotiamine is very strong. It made me go to the toilet all day but I think that was a good thing because I feel very good after one rough day. The next days will be much better.
@GrandmaGiGi 1/1000th. mg stands for mili grams and mcg for MICRO grams. Basic metric system.
I love your videos, I started taking b1 and feel it actually helped decrease my metabolism.. but now Objective nutrients is sold out. Do you have another recommended source?
Wow thank you 🙏🏼❤️
Thanks for info. I can tolerate the vitamin b1 and b12 but anything else cause major issues specifically during the night. I cannot sleep. Sleep poorly. I took a complex and it stuffed me up. I got a complex injection at the pharmacy and the same issue. I tried ca pantothenate (100mg in the morning) and was stuffed for 3 days. Very unpleasant. I'll stick to B1.
I'm having the same issues on complex w/ benfotiamine, head sinus pressure, terrible sleep quality, half awake most of the night. Sleep/breathing issues at night, anxiety, heart feels overly strong at times. Adrenal issues cause me to not be able to take melatonin or i wake felling like i never slept... Just started the B1 and feel drained, head full felling.
Hey bro- new to your channel and love ❤ it so far. I have off and on pancreatitis- can b1 play a roll in aiding this type of inflammation? I believe I’ve read before that b1 is essential in the health of pancreas cells. Any input would be greatly appreciated- ty for all you do.
Yes! They used it in China for pancreatitis
@@EONutrition wow! That’s a great connection.. do you treat people with pancreatitis? In the US they seem to hide everything simple that works for most ailments or diseases.
I've got a bottle Life Extension Mega Benfotiamine sitting on my shelf. Got some other vitamins that am trying out first, trying to rule out what deficiencies could be causing chronic deep glute pain. Thanks for the info 😊
So glad thiamax is available in the USA
Thanks Elliot....I am taking Sulbutiamine 800 mg/day for vagus neurological/digestive issues which is working well...I was taking TTFD/Sulbutiamine together at a lesser dosage...Since I am doing better at this high dosage for the past 3 months along with Nutritional Yeast /mag /Potassium.....What do you think about CYCLING 5 DAYS (ON) & 2 DAYS (OFF)... Or would it be better to slowly REDUCE the dosage over time ?
I think reducing gradually over time, rather than cycling, would be preferable
@@EONutrition Thanks Elliot. I am taking Intravenous (IV) Thiamine HCL 300mg/day because I heard Dr. Chandler Marrs say in your interview that it might be better that TTFD for absorbtion so I decided to stick with the Intravenous Thiamine HCL. HOWEVER, with the TTFD you’ve said that some people need up to 2000mg a day. I have GASTROPARESIS So do you think that 300mg of Intravenous Thiamine HCL would be equivalent to the 2000mg of TTFD?? I also have Candida so do you think that might stop the absorbtion of Thiamine?
@@jocelynvasquez4260 The 2000mg was referring to HCL orally. For TTFD, it is usually much less (220-500mg). For IV thiamine HCL, also much less, probably a similar dose to what you are having now. That said, I ahve no experience with IM/IV thiamine
@@EONutrition Oh good , I am building up to the 500 mg of TTFD , I am now again reassured that I do not need more of this kind of Thiamine . Thank you Elliot !!
@@janelprince6400which health issues were you addressing? And are you better now?
Hello Elliot, I have been taking TTFD ( with cofactors ) for about 5 weeks now. The first 4 seems pretty rough ( lethargic and generally feeling unwell ), but for the last week I am starting to feel and overwhelming sense of calmness and well-being and much better energy levels. )
I wanted to ask how long does it usually take to reach full effect and should one continue taking thiamine after that?
Thank you. )
What dose did you start out with ? I am up to 150 per day now with litttle Side effects . Am working on learning about even more supplements to add to my regime as noted in the comments above . So expensive but worth it ! I am mixed up about how high of a dose to go in the TTFD form .
@@janelprince6400 I started with 100mg and an continuing with it. I took the 400mg pill version and split into 4 days. The positive effects seems to come in waves, but so far the positive changes are pretty much noticeable. What other supplements are you taking?
Thanks, I'm reassured by you comment, I'm only on day 18 and although getting small windows of improvement I'm generally feeling really low now. I'm determined to push through as I did with Chronic Lyme treatment, I keep telling myself this is just another Herxheimer!
@@phubblewubbphubblewubb From my experience, B vitamins removed my anxiety ( which by itself is certainly a great thing ) and they give me this sense of well-being, which still seems to come in waves. Yet they didn't do anything to low energy levels, probably the low energy level wasn't a thiamine problem in my case. I started supplementing iodine, which seems to help. so probably, in my case, it could have been a thyroid thing.
@jollyroger what cofactors are you taking?
Thank you so much!
I just started watching this presentation. Hopefully you'll be telling people about Benfotiamine, the highest bioavailable form of B-1.
I was on B-1 before starting the Megadosing I then started Benfotiamine and it did not go well so have been hesitant to go back but I started with Thiamax with my B-1 today so far so good. He has been telling people but not everyone can handle the form of it.
I appreciate the short, simplified info on this subject!
Quick question... I understand ttfd / lipothiamine is fat soluble, but not in the conventional sense. Does it matter weather it’s taken with a fat source, or on empty stomach?

For how long of a duration B1 is to be supplemented, ie, when to stop supplementing Thiamine
When it comes to TTFD and adding in a molybdenum supplement to fight sulphur complications, what form of moybdenum should be used? Sodium molybdate okay? That comes in a nice liquid version. Or, are there better versions you prefer? Thanks!
You are answering alot of questions. I have worse case of Fibromyalgia in the world plus Lupus. The double whammy ‼️😕 Thanks 💕🙏
Lupus can be healed with diet.
I really really like the fact you don't slander other supplement companies at the end and make the video all about a sales pitch, if anything this makes me trust your advice and want to try your supplement even more. One question I have is, I suffer from long covid/lyme/mould related illness. I'm not as bad as some and manage to function daily but suffer brain fog, and simply cannot exercise when previously I was military and trained in crossfit. My histamine levels are through the roof and I find that thiamine sets me off. I've heard that thiamine can eventually benefit my histamine related issues but how do you get over the initial hump? Thank you
Peter, don't know if this can help, I had a negative Lyme disease test after tick bite and got severe symptoms. After 10 years I learned there is a test for 1, but 41 extra Lyme diseases remain untested. I got the coloidal silver kit, 20 minutes reading, 1 minutes hookup, 2 oz. Daily for my one week challenge. Lyme disease symptoms ended in 20 minutes, with a shock. My heart fungal infection i later noticed was gone too when the tell tell vertical dark lines in the fingernails ended. May be worth looking into. MUST have guaranteed PURE silver, or risk the skin discoloration. My Lyme was so severe I would have been willing to have even that to feel this much better. Daily prevent colds and flu dose is 1 teaspoon it seems. I wish you success.
@@charlanpennington3989 hi thank you for the message, who is the colloidal silver kit by? I'll have a look into it.
@@Peter-mo3pr , I went on line and researched, and went with 1 of 3 that would guarantee purity of the silver. Life-force/ EZ-2 Compact Colloidal Silver Generator Instructions. I wish you excellent success with your health. Do get an extra, a standby set of the silver wires if you can, our systems of shipping keep getting more iffy by the day.
I had Histamine through the roof. It took 3 days to feel better but I carried Electrolyte water everywhere to calm the Acid reflux that came from it. I was taking Sting Nettle every time it kicked in to claim it down but once I started the High levels of B-1 I chose to step away and to walk through the depth of it and made it through the 3rd day. Its 95% gone now and I'm on I think the 8th day.
@@Peter-mo3pr i went on line and reviewed adds and stories, I chose Life-force EZ2. I'm so thankful.
Next: acid reflux is from the esophageal sphincter not closing, from TOOOO LITTLE ACID. This sounds backwards but is true anyway. Over the counter Betaine HCL with Pepsid or without fixes it. Each body different. Some need once a day , some need up to 8 tabs for a high meat meal, some need 1 tab at bedtime only. At your dose an ulcer can heal by day 14. While you are highly stressed you burn magnesium like crazy and all body wrecks from deficiency so see vids like Dr. Berg on this. Best detox in my observation: Floressence Tea removes heavy metals and pesticides gently over 3 to 4 months or 4 to 6 boxes. Insomnia ends day 15 and anxiety and depression slowly dissappear over the next weeks . Floride water will wreck it 40%. Distilled water in plastic wrecks it 60%. So use well water or distilled water in your glass gallons from the water store.
Drop lye dishwasher detergent NOW!!! You may use Bor-ax mineral if dishes rinsed before loading. B-ora-x heals a ton of stuff if the dose is high enough anyway. ( human studies using 1/8 teaspoon per 100 pounds of person per day. Usually in water split between 2 meals , but some sprinkle on a food. (I do for arthritis pain to zero, down from 9).
Thank you for the information. Very informative. I also just started taking B1 and have been able to up the dose easily with no side effects. Can you tell me when you reach the amount that works for you, how long do you stay on this dose? Once you see pain gone etc can you start to reduce the dose, or do you have to stay on that amount for good?
How many of his tablets are you taking
