Elliott saved my life. I was so sick. I was suffering for 3 years and my doctor kept giving me antidepressants which made it worse toward the end. My guts hurt bad and I was fatigued so bad that I couldn't get out of bed some days. Then my intestines stopped working and became septic. I desperately looked on internet for an answer and found Elliot. All the symptoms were there and symptoms I had had all my life. I remember getting B12 injections when I was a child. I thought I was okay with my diet. I exercise regularly and ate plant based but took fish college for bad arthritis. My big worry was getting enough protein! My doctor had diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and anxiety. I am going to write him and thank him. I am recovering slowly. My guts are much better. I still have a long way to go. Thanks for this interview. I always learn something I can use.
@@Lisa_Tamati Wow, I'm blown away!

Get of the plant based bullshit and start eating good quality meat 🍖 if you want to have healthy gut and mind as meat and eggs contain all the macro and micro nutrients!
If you are over sixty like me you will remember that many foods were enriched with thiamin, riboflavin and niacin. These were often empty calories foods like white breads and cereals.
@@binathere2574 Interesting though, if you google cereals fortified with thiamine or breads fortified with thiamine or riboflavin nothing comes up. They used to have it on the front of the box and bags of bread, ads billboards and TV commercials.
White flour, white bread, cookies and crackers made with white flour. Pasta made with white flour or semolina. Also most breakfast cereals, and rarely also white rice.
In 1992 it became law that all grains need to be enriched. The only grains exempt are organic grains. The problem with that is synthetic b vitamins are used like folic acid. Between 40-60% of the population have the genetic variation in the MTHFR gene that impairs methylation. Synthetic vitamins can further slow methylation . People with this gene variation actually need methyl forms like methyl folate. I do better on organic grains or better yet a grain free diet.
My husband has had CDIP for 30 years. No amount of testing during that time could give a diagnosis until recently. It causes a palsy that affects his legs beneath the knees to the extent that last year we thought he would soon need a wheelchair. I had found Elliot on You Tube and listened to his videos. everything he said made sense. I started taking Benfotamine 900mg for insomnia. Within a week I was sleeping through the night. That’s 8 months ago. I convinced my husband to try taking it too. He takes 1800mg Benfotamine a day. He felt tingling in calves after 3 weeks. Now 5 months in and his calves are getting stronger and he is walking almost normally. He still has problem with his feet but we think this will improve over time too. We have always been diet conscious, eat organically as much as possible, grow our own fruit and veg, and take brewers yeast everyday so thought our B vitamin intake would have been fine.
@@wonderwoman7969 Yes I did. I had been taking 400mg of normal B1 but found the Benfotiamine works better because it has a life of approx 8 hours in the body. It took about 5 days to fully kick in but since then my sleep has been awesome. I also take Brewers Yeast everyday to make sure I don't get an imbalance of other B vitamins. I also take magnesium as well because that is needed when taking B1.
My story started years ago, over 30 years hearing zaps in my right ear. Fastforward to 2013 I woke in the night to a roaring in my right ear and couldn't walk for my balance was completely messed up. When I got to the bathroom moments later I found my Right ear deaf. I have lived with this condition for all these years with Many Doctors including Mayo saying there is absolutly nothing wrong with me..sideways smily face here. Along the way I developed tachycardia worthy of cardiac Dr.s saying I need double ablation surgery. I already succumbed to a surgrey on my semi circular canal. NO MORE SURGERIES UNTIL YOU CAN TELL ME WHY at the age of 52 all of this would attack me. THere are many more issues I face day to day including loss of consciousness and a stroke and a seizure that no one can understand. I have ordered Elliots protocol and my daughter ordered the starter supplements so I will come back here and let you know how this goes. It ALL makes so much sence. Thank you for the hope.
My body is also toxic with Levofloxacin same kind as Cipro..please tell me how you recovered from that severe side effects?? & how many dose of thiamine?? And which form of it e.g mononitrate?HCl ?benfotamine? or ttfd..please help me
How are you feeling now? Can you describe what symptoms the thiamine helped with? Cipro and Flagyl have harmed many people and your experience will surely help many.
@@bartginger123 Anyone shuold take step againt fluroquinons (Ciprofloxacin & Levofloxacin)..if anyone has Position should have to make an organisation against These Poisons..that harmed more than poison because death kills someone Only one time but these are killing us everyday,facing disabilities is more painful & the terrible thing is there is no cure and no ending for these side effects.
@@wal876 I was Exhausted, tired even on the ON period. Now I can manage socialising both at luncheon meetings, and evening parties, concerts and private dinners.

Very powerful knowledge. My gut issue has improved dramatically after using ttfd thiamine Used with complete b complex and magnesium. I will also add pottassuim to the mix.
@@jenniferlabrum2277 and also a potassium/elektrolyte powder high doses if you do fasting and exercise. People have a deficiency in potassium and magnesium too, and it definitly affects sleep.

No wonder. But 1 of their TTFD caps isn't enough - I need alot more & don't know.
@@Lisa_Tamati Thanks for having him on, 2 mos ago I started their Thiamax but need higher dosing but can't afford to bump it up w/ more TTFD. Ordered Benfotiamine & will add it to TTFD, it costs too much $ when I have to buy so many other supps due to malabsorption from digestive problems. TTFD is wonderful !

Elliot only mentions the necessity of mega dosing B1 of thiamine deficiency but he does not mention if it is TTFD or Benfo etc. He only refers to his other videos.
There's other B1 info vids on YT which goes into the different B1 "types" & which helps which body systems; sorry, Im moving, at my "old place", & don't have my notes I take for this.

(Stsrting big time 1/1/24, when Im in my new place - Baby Steps, Im so hopeful : D Thank you Thank you
Yes, he says to start with Thiamine HCL, as the other types can be difficult to handle at first for some people. Then move on to Benfotiamine, then TTFD after you can handle that. I wish he had a more concise video where he goes over his therapy for starting B1 and oxalate dumping. His info seems to be always on a 2-3 hour video. Finding the right one can be time consuming!
Actually EDS symptoms ( pain , chronic fatigue , pots , dysautonomia , digestive issues, gastroparesis and more ) can sometimes start acting after a trauma although it is a genetic condition
I cant find where you talk about thiamine for cancer. I have seen some studies yhat say it promotes cancer grouth so shouldnt you at least be warning about that and other studies that say in high doses of like 3 grams per day it can reduce cancer. This information seems huge and people with cancer meed to know the truth. Can you please address this issue?
@@DJdj-ir5uz I'm in a cancer group..All B vitamins are OFF THE TABLE...yes we found studies that B feeds cancer big time. Huge no no! Through the foods too. Cancer loves B. They should bring this knowledge out, or perhaps they don't know.
My brother has PD I believe God showed me hes misdiagnosed & its gluten ataxia and B deficiency I think it will help to stop eating grains, sugar and also carnivore based eating healed a woman. Shes on Dr. Anthony Chaffee yt chanel...she discusses it Thank you Im praying for you
Considering dementia and Alzheimer's is being colloquially considered diabetes type 3...and there is no such thing known as an essential carbohydrate, I'm thinking the carnivore doctors are on to something. Under any video of theirs the anecdotal testimonies are mind boggling, not only in effects...but in sheer volume. I think the medical paradigm is long overdue for a complete upheaval.
I wonder if taking high doses of Thiamine/Benfotiamine could counteract the adverse effect of mutations in the SDHB gene which could potentially cause paragangliomas. Mutations in the SDHB gene are associated with hypoxia...
After being underweight all my life, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto disease at age 30. Since being on the TTFD form of B1 I have put on 6kg of mostly muscle at the age of 50
Iodine is the solution to Hashimoto's (look up Dr Brownstein), but if you have a B1 deficiency you definitely need to fix that first before taking iodine, otherwise you'll get an awful reaction (that happened to me) as B1 will get more depleted
Im wondering if taking the Cofactors with thyamine will avoid the paradox reaction?? Cofactors all the B vitamins, vitamin C, maguinesium, if you are low or deficient in maguinesium and or low in vitamin C B1 can't work properly.
I just watched a great "Respyre" video about "purposeful sighing" to help lower stress. That hot-looking Dr Andrew H (?) - from Stanforrd & talks about it (haha, Im not THAT ill! Lol)
I've been somewhat underweight and skinny almost my whole life, able to eat tons of food and hardly gain any weight.. My face looking gaunt... I wonder if I was B1 deficient the entire time.
If I were you, I’d watch more of Elliot’s videos on his channel. It’s not as simple as just take these and you’ll get better. I’ve heard him say to begin with Thiamine HCL, move to Benfotiamine when tolerated, then the same with TTFD. He’s also said that those with Parkinson’s do better with injections, which you must get for the rest of your life to stay well. It’s not a cure, it just holds off the bad symptoms. I wish I knew this when my aunt had it for over 30 years.
Must we why they've taken the 250mg dose off the shelves in NZ as of last year. I used 3 of these a day for thyroid issues and they worked a treat. Now cant buy the larger dose anywhere.
Since taking thiamine I have experienced a lot more allergic reactions to my safe foods as well has being extra sensitive and feeling itchy internally and uncomfortable and had to stop
@@pinksupremacy6076 I'm taking their TTFD plus added regular B1, quickly bumped it up to 4 per day =400mg & so far so good. No changes or reactions. I have benfot. arriving next week that I'll start.
I believe gluten sensitivity is A cause of fibromyalgia & many more diseases Im deficient in b vitamins because of Gluten sensitivity and faulty absorption Thank you
Also, I keep reading about scizophrenic symptoms to take methylated B12 w/folate (NOT folic acid) and B1. Take B12 as methylated B12 vs non methylated in case of MTHFR gene mutation.
The protocols are all available via Elliots website he has a whole pdf you can download for various ailments and according to your preferences for the type of thiamine and what works
In one of Elliot’s videos he talks about how important it is for the body to have lots of potassium in the cells before we take the Benfotiamine and B-1
Thiamine supplementation might be the biggest supplement disaster ever. Might, I'm not sure, because I don't quite see the mechanism. But there is evidence that excessive doses which are sold in every thiamin and multivitamin supplement (100x rda or much more) are using up magnesium, making every multivitamin user magnesium deficient, which is about as bad as it gets in health consequences. Magnesium levels are rarely measured. "we estimate that up to a third of the general population may be magnesium deficient and that outside of acute clinical encounters or hospitalization, hypomagnesaemia is likely frequently overlooked in general clinical practice." Magnesium Deficiency What Is Our Status? 2016 My understanding of magnesium balance is that there is very little stored (total bone magnesium is only on the order of total tissue magnesium), the turnover is large given large rda of 400mg.
Well this is the one claim I'm not as sure as I sounded above tbh so that's probably a bad sign. I just know every time I take it by itself it knocks the wind out of me. It could instead be using up choline instead of magnesium. The evidence for magnesium is indirect. In general there is very little research on thiamine, and some toxicity reports from the 1940s.
@@Rene-uz3ebWhat type are you using? In other videos he says to start low and go slow. Begin with Thiamine HCL first, then Benfotiamine, then TTFD. Start at 50mg and go from there. Unfortunately, or fortunately, we are all different, which makes it difficult to give a one-fits-all dose!
@@pinksupremacy6076 🖐🏼👍🏼 I don't think people even realize that they can go into settings and speed up or slow down the audio speed... I have to speed up Dr Gundry - better than complaining for FREE info that is better than paying doctors

I wish I knew this when my aunt had it for over 30 years.
That's very young. I would get another opinion on this
Must we why they've taken the 250mg dose off the shelves in NZ as of last year. I used 3 of these a day for thyroid issues and they worked a treat. Now cant buy the larger dose anywhere.
go to my store where you can get TTFD and I can also access for Kiwis working with me Benfotiamine. shop.lisatamati.com
Can B1 help Huntington disease?
Can megadose of thiamine reverse Ptosis?
Would this work for people with the gene SNP MTSO1 and also the disorder called MCADD (medium chain acyl coA dehydrogenase deficiency)?
WHAT ABOUT TARDIVE DYSKINESIA? I WOULD LIKE TO KOW IF WORK FOR THAT ILLNESS 😢
IMO TARDIVE Dys. is NOT a disease .. but a severe deficiency state.
Did you get that from taking Antipsychotics?
How do u know if u are deficient when doctors do not test for this?
Symptoms. If you take it and feel an improvement, you are deficient.
People without deficiency can massively benefit too
@@binathere2574 Whats a good amount to start with?
you can have Cellular testing done. Spectracell and Vibrant health are 2 cellular test labs
Yes, low doses thyamine cause proliferation in cancer patient and HIGHER DOSES kill cancer cells. Doses over 100mg , lower then 75mg is not good idea!
YIKES. !!

Since taking thiamine I have experienced a lot more allergic reactions to my safe foods as well has being extra sensitive and feeling itchy internally and uncomfortable and had to stop
Are you taking the cofactors too
That could be a paradoxical response. Try to switch thiamine type and/or lower dose for some time.
@@pinksupremacy6076 Or possible she doesn't need it & is getting enough already
What you consider as your " safe foods"?
@@pinksupremacy6076 I'm taking their TTFD plus added regular B1, quickly bumped it up to 4 per day =400mg & so far so good. No changes or reactions. I have benfot. arriving next week that I'll start.
Yes thaimine helped me .
How has it helped you?
get well soon ! How much thiamine do you use for one day?
@@evodota I started with 100 mg , tuk it till 600 mg . Now bak to 100 mg occasionally. I feel great now
I believe gluten
sensitivity is A cause of fibromyalgia & many more diseases
Im deficient in b vitamins because of
Gluten sensitivity and faulty absorption
Thank you
Is b1 dose of 75mg of benfothaimine enough
Go up over time
Take b complex and magnesium
Maybe potassium maybe needed

Any information on Schizophrenia treatment?
Go to a Christian pastor and have them cast out demons. MPD same.
@@coachwork Crossed my mind. What does mpd mean?
Also, I keep reading about scizophrenic symptoms to take methylated B12 w/folate (NOT folic acid) and B1. Take B12 as methylated B12 vs non methylated in case of MTHFR gene mutation.
@@ClarkOside Thanks for the feedback. Read somewhere that some of the trace minerals,either too much or too little, could sometimes be involved?
Niacin
Narcolepsie?
What's a mega dose?
The protocols are all available via Elliots website he has a whole pdf you can download for various ailments and according to your preferences for the type of thiamine and what works
What are the other essential co-factors to be considered when supplementing thiamine ? Anybody have any idea ?
B complex
Vit d
Magnesium
@@cosmichealth3907 What is it could be complex because I can’t stand nutritional yeast
@@pambaughman1579 add moringa
Chlorella
In one of Elliot’s videos he talks about how important it is for the body to have lots of potassium in the cells before we take the Benfotiamine and B-1
Wow this lady sounds like me. Interesting
appreciate you
Is this a band aid or a permanent fix.
It depends on your condition. Its not that expensive to continue....
Are prescriptions a bandaid or a permanent fix? Sheesh!
It keeps deterioration at bay. No it’s not a cure, but nothing is. People function better on it. Many get some function back.
Vitamins are supposed to be part of your daily diet for the rest of your life so I wouldn't call it a bandaid
👏👏👏🇧🇷
❤thanks for listening
WHERE IS THE DOSAGE INFORMATION? EPIC FAIL. STOP CLICK BAITING TITLES! MADDENING!
100-400mg i guess
I wouldn't call this click bait lol.
Thiamine supplementation might be the biggest supplement disaster ever. Might, I'm not sure, because I don't quite see the mechanism. But there is evidence that excessive doses which are sold in every thiamin and multivitamin supplement (100x rda or much more) are using up magnesium, making every multivitamin user magnesium deficient, which is about as bad as it gets in health consequences.
Magnesium levels are rarely measured.
"we estimate that up to a third of the general population may be magnesium deficient and that outside of acute clinical encounters or hospitalization, hypomagnesaemia is likely frequently overlooked in general clinical practice." Magnesium Deficiency
What Is Our Status? 2016
My understanding of magnesium balance is that there is very little stored (total bone magnesium is only on the order of total tissue magnesium), the turnover is large given large rda of 400mg.
Put together your own show
Well this is the one claim I'm not as sure as I sounded above tbh so that's probably a bad sign. I just know every time I take it by itself it knocks the wind out of me. It could instead be using up choline instead of magnesium. The evidence for magnesium is indirect. In general there is very little research on thiamine, and some toxicity reports from the 1940s.
@@Rene-uz3ebWhat type are you using? In other videos he says to start low and go slow. Begin with Thiamine HCL first, then Benfotiamine, then TTFD. Start at 50mg and go from there. Unfortunately, or fortunately, we are all different, which makes it difficult to give a one-fits-all dose!
one has to take lg doses of magnesium and potassium so the thiamine can work properly
Very true,that's why they suggest supplementing magnesium
Too much rumbling...Lady.
rAmbling …. ?
You guys gotta be careful it can fuck you up too just be careful
lies
What B1? I don't think so. That's a doctors speciality, not B1.

Stop complaining for gods sake
