My husband died in a hospital (COVID was blamed) due to lack of thiamine and other nutrients (of course). I believe he had Wernicke's encephalopahty shortly after being admitted to the ER. He was dehydrated and would would not eat. They would do nothing for him. He should have been given a "banana bag" according to my daughter. These hospitals were absolutly a kill zone.
I totally agree! Hospital is now a killing zone. My mom was admitted to the hospital because of lactic acidosis ( is caused when the mitochondria is not producing enough energy from lack of nutrients, in this case would be thyamine deficienc specifically,for diabetics are very low, her case extremely low) I could see that she actually was having a heart failure because of extremely thyamine deficiency, I could see all the symptoms of edema in her legs,abdominal area, her face,extremely tired,difficult breathing. Prior of being admitted she urinated lots wich caused even more deficiencies in most her B vitamins, potassium, sodium, magnesium etc ( she was type 2 diabetic) I told her doctor that she needed very high doses of intravenously thyamine with vitamin C high doses, the doctor told me she was already on it. I asked him what dose was she talking, he said it was 100mg 3 times a day. I told him that she needed urgent at least 500 3 to 4 times a day for at least 4 days straight intravenously then 200 or more daily. He said, let's wait to see how she responds to the lower dose and this is the hospital protocol. They refuse to give any higher then 100mg 3 times a day ( doctors dont understand that a deficiency most often is ONLY corrected with very high doses for short periods or until deficiency is corrected). She passed the next day. They didn't even notice that all her symptoms was from B1 deficiency. This information I read on medical journal that this is the most effective line of treatment for lactic acidosis and sepsis, if you dont treat the lactic acidosis it progresses to sepsis very quickly The longer doctors wait to initiate the procedure the patient health declines very quickly. It also mentioned that 70% of all admitted patients are nutrients deficient SPECIALLY THOSE IN ICU CARE , she was intubated and most likely was unnecessary and caused more harm than good in her case.I believe doctors DONT READ information published about how to treat conditions with nutrients . I was powerless,but yet with a very powerful information that could have saved her life and many others .If you are a doctor reading this, please address nutrients deficiency of your patient, by doing so you can save lives! I have done enough research to know what I'm talking about.
If you count the gaslighting from my parents I've had 8 or 9 'it's all in your head' illnesses. It took years, sometimes decades, but so far every last one has turned out to be 100% physical. The single largest obstacle was docs refusing to accept that I could actually be right about anything going on in my body.
That's terrible. I have been telling doctors . It's a side effects from medicine. It's sad when people don't believe you. ( me) for pain before. Until they go through it, they don't know. I hope you are doing well
@@The11eleven exactly. Though vitamins can't be patented, so they're not hocked like medications that can be patented. I had a friend who took a critical allergy medicine. Then they discontinued making it altogether because the payment ran out. He was struggling to find something that worked - it had taken so long to find the one he'd been taking.
I saw your video with the Moroccan guy on the 24th of April. I have had fibromyalgia, CFS, IBS, chronic pains on my right leg that has left me bedridden since February. I received my order of thiamax, thiassist and thiactive B on the 4th of May and started with 100mg of thiamine then increased to 200mg after 3days. I decided after two days to increase to 300mg but discovered it made me quite jittery and I felt some brain inflammation. I went back to 200mg since then and on the 14th of May, I started walking again! I still have a slight limp but for the first time in 6years and numerous doctors who told me it was all in my head, I know I am going to be okay. My stomach feels warmer and nomore bloating. The brain fog has cleared significantly since I started TTFD. I can't thank Elliot Overton enough for this great work. I am going to be on B1 for a long time.
Ulcerative colitis and fibro sufferer for 15 years. Fit and healthy up to age 29 when I had a jab for Rabies. Since then it's been a mess. I am gonna start on the B1 ASAP.
@@jakestown1952make sure your food (veggies, protein, leafy greens, beans etc with just water) is healthy too, even though muscles are super important.
OMG!! Thank You!! I'm living in Hell the extreme chronic fatigue and brain fog loss of remembering and memory. It's so horrible that I can't even tell anyone about anything because I can't recall anything example a movie title or anything about the movie or songs or names the pain is beyond horrible my Husband doesn't even acknowledge that this is real. I'm so sick of being told everything is normal so then I'm left to find my own NATURAL REMEDIES to help myself.😢 I Thank You with ALL of My Heart❣♥️
You’re more than welcome my lovely 😊. The key here is something is doing this to you - find out what it is, and beat it. For me H. Pylori and SIBO were primary factors in this decline - so treatment of those as well as B1 and supporting the rest of my deficiencies over 13 years has almost solved it. You. Can. Do. This ❤
@veeesoni Don't we all wish you were our personal doctor advocating for us? I'm thinking of all people around the world suffering and even those who passed on early (not living full lives) because of a failed Healthcare system and the lack of general acknowledgement for the root cause of CFS and not just treating the symptoms. I've suffered since 2018/2019 and I think I'm towards the end of my discovery and diagnoses. Still haven't figured out what caused my CFS, brain fog, tinnitus, vertigo, etc. I pray this year my God, Jesus Christ, will reveal the cause and end my suffering! Are there tests for all the B's one can take? I'm so thankful to my wonderful husband who did private health insurance at 1 million/year. He knows I've suffered and the country we live has awful public Healthcare so private it is! I hope this new private insurance will help me out a lot with tests I need done. My complete blood count is "perfect" and like you said "off you go" 😔
@@mybigfatexpatlife6865 its a shocking state of affairs isn’t it?! You must persist with your enquiry-there’s nothing more valuable than your health and so invest whatever you can to find the source. Then utterly obliterate it - because you’re entitled to your happiness my lovely. In regards to tests, yes they do test for the B’s, 12 and 9 in particular but they can indeed test for the others. Keep us posted my friend 😊🙏🏽
Been there,in fact still am ! thiamine ,B complex , zinc, magnesium , Coq10 , especially B1 ! for 32 years . The medical pro's made fun of it until I took matters into my own hands also and been feeling better and better , have not stopped exercising but yes it is a learning curve. I am 71 now and feeling better each day with a couple bad days every now and then.
This man is describing exactly what I was experiencing, my anxiety and OCD spiralled as well. I completely changed my diet and added LOTS of supplements and now my symptoms rarely happen. It was beyond scary, I felt traumatized by it.
@@LoriKasprzak-yk6nc how the hell are you going to claim MY personal experience is baloney. You can think whatever you want, I KNOW what I did and the results. I mean it's common sense really..give the body what it needs to thrive while reducing damages and you're body will work as it was intended.
@@LoriKasprzak-yk6nc clearly you have had some negative experiences that have made you think this way. I used to think like you but its a dead end. You need to be open minded to get results in your health and be willing to try a lot of different remedies (if they are safe).
I have adrenal fatigue (post burnout) or “long covid” and started taking high doses B1 today. I had NEVER heard anyone mention its importance! Thank you do much Elliot, I’m very excited to start my life again after 4 yrs of so many doctors and so little answers.
Even in the "alternative health" space, barely anyone knows about it. This is why I am so hyperfocused and will continue to post videos on thiamine. As you probably guessed, its my favourite nutrient. It never fails to amaze me, how much benefit it can have for some people. But until it is common knowledge, I wont stop :)
I've heard a biochemistry scientist say that taking a high dose of just one B vitamin will force thr body to flush out whatever reserves you had of the other B vitamins as well. Cause in nature you would get them all together, so the body adapts with that in mind.
@@keylanoslokj1806 I haven't seen much evidence for that. However, the protocol is generally to take a B complex behind any mega-dose thiamine to account for this possibility
@@cindyleastorch194 I think my reply got deleted for some reason? But I take one that has 500mg of thiamine and 25mg of benfotiamine. I was taking 2 a day at the beginning of last month and now I've started taking 4 a day, I just bought another bottle and still very happy with it.
I prayed to God i was so bad , and later that day i grabbed my bottle of B1 and took it subconsciously alone from anything else and my anxiety and energy improved in 1 hour dramatically. So i kept taking it for a week and returned to almost normal. And i was bed ridden . No appetite , weight loss, nerves tingly etc. God is good
@@veeesoni lol 😂 I like the term they have coined! Low mooded has a nice ring to it. You are an amazing young man and thank you for taking the time to do this video. ❤️ 🌿🙆🏻♀️
I found EONutrition videos just two weeks ago, started B1, and in only two weeks I am noticing some dramatic improvements with digestion (great motility, no more bloating), happier mood, rough skin on bottom of feet resolving. I've had these issues for 30+ years!
I love this; I literally just left a comment about EONutrition videos and how they've helped me. I've been doing the BromAc method; eating pineapples (bromelein) in conjunction with raw onions (acetylcysteine) in a salad that I make has done wonders!
@@Frankenshein I bought the AOR brand of Benfotiamine from Amazon, started with 80mg once a day with lunch for about 5 days, then upped it to 160mg since then. Will probably take it up to 3X80mg capsules in another week.
I know this guy was talking about his suffering and the journey to make himself well but I'm sorry, he made me laugh so much! He's absolutely lovely.. I could listen to him all day 😄 x
No need to be sorry. Vish is a very eloquent and expressionate speaker, and extremely witty. I laughed on several occasions whilst speaking with him. He's a funny guy
I watched for one and a half minutes and came to say that he is so expressive and eloquent. If he decides to start a voice coaching channel, I’ll subscribe. Will watch the rest now. ❤
I have a similar story where I've had chronic migraines all my life, and no one could do anything to help me. I found out by accident that I've had a chronic salt deficiency, and when I fix that my migraines become far, far more manageable.
@@becjane1281 I've just been learning a a lot about the importance of salt in particular Himalayan and Celtic. I've always had a very low salt Diet as thought it was harmful. As often it turns around its most important to be included for minerals. Several RUclips videos with doctors and others that talk about salt just put it in your search engine on RUclips and you should come up with lots Barbara O'Neill has someone that I've really been interested in and has one as well
@@becjane1281 My daughters doctor told her that when she feels a migraine coming on to take 2 ginger pills. She would get migraines all the time for years. She says it works really well plus the doctor told her to eat plant based and cut out meat. She says she feels really good.
Bro... neither of them knew it in the video but my man was describing parasites. Parasites cause vitamin deficiency and chronic fatigue syndrome. I learned more than I ever wanted to know about parasites because I had liver flukes. The same as him I thought the main symptom was just normal muscle twitches. I wasn't even really aware I had chronic fatigue. I just thought I was tired a lot. I saw a few doctors and none of them had ever seen flukes before so they wouldn't have considered it if I hadn't already figured out what the problem was myself. With flukes you never see them in your stools like other parasites so you can have them your whole life and never know it. I took wormwood because I thought I might have some type of parasite which is how I was able to find dead ones in my stool to confirm that I had a parasite and what it was. Then when I did get them diagnosed by a doctor and lab work, I had to try different drugs before I got the right cocktail that was strong enough to kill them. Praziquantel wasn't strong enough. It took triclabendazole plus ivermectin. I hope this helps someone. I know it would have really helped me.
@@TeemoChan There are lots of other things that cause twitching too. After treating the parasites I still had a weaker twitching that made me think I still had them. I read nerve damage can cause it but eventually determined that weaker twitch was from blood clots.
Vish, you got a Fibro diagnosis. I had a liver transplant in a respected health system in the US, and they failed to diagnose any of this stuff since post transplant when I started complaining of issues. GI doc, primary, pulmonogist, podiatrist, transplant team, none of them diagnosed any of the many ME/CFS sub symptoms I had. I just think the mainstream medical complex is woefully poor at emergent diseases, and nutrition. Nutrition in the medical field in the US is almost non-existent, you have to seek it out, it won't ever be a part of your normal treatment, even if you got a liver transplant.
I am 62 male and got unbelievable joint pains. I just got vitamin B complex injection and Vitamin C injection, B1 tablet and my joint pain just disappeared in 3 hrs. That is really an eye opener. Thx for this video
I just started taking the ttfd and within 24 hours of taking it all of my pain in my feet ankles and knees disappeared along with a bunch of other symptoms, but I can walk around pain-free (I work in the medical field, as a nurse and I can easily put 10 mi a day on my legs) and I don't have to think I need a walker when I get off the couch and can't stand up straight. I'll be 60 next year and I feel like I'm in my mid-20s!
Aloha, thank you two gentlemen for sharing this great information. I took a whole page of notes and an looking forward to seeing some positive results🕊.
Yes I have Fibromyalgia and they believe I got it after having Viral Enchephalitis at 18. Don’t know how it came on but affected every part of body. Hearing went, balance, went blind in later stages. Doctors baffled in 1985, was in 3 different hospitals, in end two of our Churches we were part of all got up and prayed for me. I slowly started to recover. Had to learn to talk, walk, have lots of therapy, left with difficulties like hearing loss, but am alive! Am 56 now and God kept me alive and I praise him for that everyday!
What about the 15k children that starve to death every day? God doesn't give a shit about them because you're more important? How about the 100k that are in sexual slavery right now? How about the tens of thousands of children being raped and tortured and murdered and kidnapped by the ruzzian savages? No god for them? The utter stupidity.
I had stomach issues that lead to immense anxiety and feeling like I was dying. I refused to take any anti depressant medicines, which is all the doctors wanted to prescribe. Life changed when I got on a disolvable b12 vitamin HUGE change. I than also got a disolvable ADEK which helped greatly. Lastly after a couple years of feeling much better ( I also changed my diet to no processed foods ). I started taking b1 - The calm is insane. Just such a huge feeling of gratitude if I take disolvable b1. Goodluck everyone on your health journey!
I am 51, my health journey has been almost identical to Vish's, started downhill at 13, and only recently feeling alive again and in fact dare I say energetic thanks to Thiamin supplement. Been a long lonely health journey, thank God for the internet and RUclips.😊
@@donnalawrence9054 i also have chronic fatigue and dizziness and brain fog/mental exhaust. I am taking Viramin B complex supplements + Intramuscular injections of Vit D and BComplex. Completed one shot of VitD and Bcomplex my fatigue got reduced by 45-50%. Brain fog improved by 40%.
Another amazing success story for the benefits of Thiamine! I’m so thankful to Elliott and his research on this topic it’s literally saving my life after 14 months of agony. TTFD Thiamine and B Complex + Magnesium & Potassium for 2 weeks has cured all of my neuropathy, brain fog, chronic fatigue, cardiomyopathy, POTS, Dysautomnia, Fibromylagia! Elliott Overton needs a nomination for the Nobel Prize for Medicine 🙏
@@TheVargaGirl Sure, I take 100mg of Thiamax TTFD my B Complex has the following: B1 thiamine mononitrate 25mg B2 riboflavin 5 phosphate 25mg B3 Niacimide 150mg B6 pyridoxal phosphate 55mg Folate 1333 mcg (800mcg L-5 methyl folate, glucosamine salt) Vitamin B 12 as methylcobalamin 1000mcg Biotin 400mcg Pantothenic Acid 150mg Choline Bitartrate 50mg Inositol 50mg PABA 50mg Also taking 20,000iu of Vitamin D, 5000 IU Vitamin D and 1320mg of NAC for glutathione support + Magnesium threonate and Potassium.
Brain fog can be scary. I could not count the small change in my hand at the till amongst other things. The complete ignorance in the medical fraternity was a mental emotional nightmare. Depression and the host of physical symptoms you mention included. Years on Amitriptyline and Cymbalta. I loved people telling me to just go exercise at gym while I could hardly walk a hundred meters or lift my arms.
0:59 omg I totally relate to his story! I’ve started taking the B1 four days ago. I’ve had symptoms for 30+ years, most of my life. I’m excited to see the results. ❤
Hi Rainbow Brite Brini, thanks so much for sharing! May I ask, how are you doing at present, are you already experiencing any changes in your wellbeing? Best wishes!🙏☀️
Vish is describing myself ..im 58 and have had very similar symptoms for the past thirty odd years . I'm exhausted ..and I've exhausted the medical profession in aiming to diagnose my health problem .. Thiamine (B1) you Say? I will now try it I will return in a few months time, to inform you of my progress.. Thanks Elliot for having Vish on your vlog ..extremely informative between you both . I hope Vish remains healthier and becomes even more healthy as time passes . Take care .💐
@@debbiedebbie9473 oh yes. ..Vish is correct ! I feel so so much better already, it's still early days but Iim barely suffering a quarter of the exhaustion I was feeling. Thank you for the interest! 💐
Hearing and reading my story again and again since discovering Elliot’s work honestly makes me cry with hope and relief. God bless you Vish, Thankyou for sharing ❤️
@@BaconIsNotBiceps Thank you for reminding, yes I have done some research about methylene blue and red light helmet Now figuring out what brand is most safe and clean to take
Remember, most diseases and diseases symptoms don't come from out of nowhere from nothing. Typically, it's something we're doing that we shouldn't or not doing something we should or a combination of both. Our bodies become toxic due to a buildup of mucus, acidosis, inflammation, etc. due to diet, lifestyle, negative thoughts, chemicals in products we use and so on. The first thing I did when I got very sick with multiple symptoms was to run straight back to nature because we are products of nature. For two years I ate primarily salads for meals along with lots of fruits, berries and melons. Many people make the mistake of thinking they can't eat these foods because their bodies react negatively - gas, bloating, nausea, digestive issues, diarrhea, etc. when they switch from eating their normal diet to eating fruits and veggies. Well, I made that same mistake, but this is a normal reaction because our bodies are overloaded with toxic gunk that needs to be purged and detoxified. That's exactly what the fruits and veggies are doing. It's their job to push toxins from the body. There will be many symptoms as the body detoxes such as the ones I named and more. 100% of my symptoms disappeared after about two-years of eating what humans are meant to eat. No more tinnitus, IBS, foggy thinking, memory loss, atrial fibrillation, anxiety, aching muscles and joints, etc. It takes time for the body to heal, so people need to be patient and give it time. Many cases are simply malnutrition. Your body can no longer absorb the nutrients you require because of blockages and inflammation. Clean and open the pathways and the body can then absorb and assimilate the nutrients it requires for homeostasis.
I am posting this to say that, incredibly, I have exactly the same history and symptoms as this young man. My gratefulness, Elliot, is without limit. It is exiting that you realize the importance of your career focus. You are truly doing remarkable work. I cannot thank you and Vish enough for sharing this information. Be blessed in your future efforts.
Same, but b1 didn’t help that much, I take a stack though. Tmg was. Amazing, that really changed the game and gave me enough energy to go to the gym. But I also take coq10, magnesium, inositol, glycine, nac, l carnitine, lions mane, ashwaganda, vitamin k2 and iron for the restless legs, whole food powder and a probiotic. I’ve just ordered some Nmn and lithium.
I came across this video 3 nights ago. I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I watched one of your videos on B1 about a year ago maybe before that. I had bought some B1 then was afraid to take it. Well, listening to this gentleman give his testimony on his symptoms he blew me away because everything this man spoke of is everything i have gone through the most frustrating part of feeling this way was the doctors saying it was in my head and i knew differently. At the beginning of July of this year. I had to take the bull by the horns. I had gained weight during covid and knew I needed to lose it. So i started eat the way I did when I had lost 140 lbs and intermediate fasting I am a 45 year old female and know with aging vitamins and minerals play a role in aging. 2 year ago I was having the digestive problems and my sister in - law had sent me spirulina. when i started to fast intermediately with only eating veggies and fruits fish and chicken I started to take the spirulina. Before when she sent it my digestive track couldn't even handle the spirulina. A week later a B1 came across my mind and finally started taking it. The inflammation, the brain fog, and cognitive thinking has gotten better about 50% but only Started fasting the last week of June , I started the spirulina a week later then that is when The B1 came across my mind and started taking it. Just in this short time I feel better and my cognitive thinking as time goes on I know will even get better listen to this man. In the three week I started really can say detox my system i have lost 20 lbs and have 30 more to go. Your video is a blessing thank you and God bless.
Benfotiamine is a fat soluble form of vitamin B1, and because of that it can pass across the cellular membrane and enter a cell directly. This is why it is many times more effective than thiamine. Also as an aside people along the spectrum tend to be less absorbent of important body micronutrients so a big response is not unusual. The Thing for quite a number of people may be causing similar absorbency problems so taking Benfotiamine which is known for its ability to boost our neural circuitry could help sufferers recover. It may in of itself destroy the spike or at least enable that.
@@brianlittrell797 Benfotiamine is a vitamin B1 precursor. Claims are up to 100 times more absorbent than straight water soluble B1. Its not found naturally in foods. The two best natural foods for B1 are hard cheese from non pasteurized milk, and Natto. Fermented foods are the best as bacteria are needed to produce B1.
Interesting about being less absorbent of micronutrients, when I changed from supplements to transdermal patches I noticed a huge life-changing difference. I think because I have too much copper and not enough zinc causing candida overgrowth then this hugely hinders absorption.
@@veeesoni @EONutrition Must've been absolutely miserable to have had , all those weird symptoms, in your relative youth. Glad you're doing well ! what about your Pregnenolone supplement ? Did B1 provide more and complete improvements than anything else you had used previously? are still on Dairy and gluten free diet and low FODMAP ? what sort of Magnesium and potassium do you use ? thanks so much for appearing on this segment.
I have added b1 to my regimen. I have had Epstein Barr with liver failure as a teen, Lyme disease, and COVID delta strain. I literally felt like death before I started taking high dose d3, k2, c, b6, b12, magnesium, potassium, zinc, coq10, NAC, e, biotin….so b1 is the latest thanks to you, and I cannot even describe how much better I have felt. I’ve lived with arthritic joints, neuralgia, and chronic fatigue for over 15 years. I’m also diagnosed ADHD, but my symptoms were wayyyyy worse despite being medicated for that. I have never ever thought of vitamin deficiency before the pandemic. I was lucky if I remembered my multi vitamin. Now I take my supplements religiously, and I don’t know how I ever lived being so deficient. Edited to add that I also have no gallbladder, so I was deficient in all fat soluble vitamins.
Elliot, please can you mention GERD, and the medication for which prevents the absorption of many vitamins and nutrients. I have been taking lansoprazole or Omeprazole and have Fibromyalgia, but thanks to you, Elliot, I am recovering after introducing Vit B1

Me too at 55 all his sxs came on me. Went on pain management in 2010. Have been suffering since 2019 . Started B1May 11,2023. Waiting to get well. Thank you. Gale in West Virginia u.s.
I did a blood test . I am deficient in B1. Low gut motality , constipation, brain fog , insomnia, fatigue, less hunger , bloating are my symptoms. I have strated taking b1 supplements and m already seeing good results. My motion has become twice a day now 😂 . All this started after Hpylori Infection with two rounds of antibiotics. B1 , I loveeeeeeeee you !
I have suffered with this over 30 years. Dr's telling me nothing was wrong with me. I'm now on the other side and healed. Vish thank God for you sharing your experience. You are amazing .
Well I believe learned this whole thing taught me many things about life and myself. God has kept me and showed me this a nutritional deficiency. And learning how to find what my body needs. I have experienced wonderful results with vit d b1 omega 3 . Also learning medical Dr's do not know every thing. I pray healing for you. There is light available never give up
Thank God we have people like this sharing their journey to health. With so many people having identical symptoms (myself included), why isn't the health care industry more helpful in at least educating people in what might be happening. In my case, health care has been no help in even guiding me as to what might be happening-only handing out drugs for the pain, which have been helpful but have left me without hope. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You never cease to amaze me, I'm serious every one of these videos that I watch or when I read the comments I'm hearing people describe the very symptoms I've had or been having I just started TTFD not even a full week ago and my anxiety depression those things went away within 24 hours, the burning under my skin between my knee and ankles is gone the tingling in my hands and arms has finally gone, I cannot believe my energy levels I'm going to be 60 next year and I literally feel like I'm in my mid-to-late twenties! And my cognitivity has been returning to my 20's status - I haven't had the wheels in my brain turn like that in decades! And let's not forget pain. I walk probably give or take 10 miles a day at work over a course of 8 hours easily, and the pain in my tendons in my feet and my knees are sore and by the end of my shift I'm walking like I could use a cane or a walker just to get out to my car. Within 24 hours of being on this TTFD, I had incredible spring in my step a longer stride and I don't have pain and I walk out that door to the parking lot without the pain - absolutely incredible!! And to think that doctors don't even understand nutrition or vitamin and minerals and how they work as cofactors, and they assist with enzymatic actions I mean I remember learning this stuff at college in PRE med - what's wrong with doctors today? They should not be allowed to have a license or a doctorate unless they know how nutrition or lack thereof affects the human body. 🤨😠
This is by far one of the most informative and interesting discussion I've seen on RUclips. It's amazing how this chap researched and found treatment for a condition that medical doctors had little or no clue about.
I suffered severe emotional & psychological trauma during the 2008 economic crash and after due to age discrimination which resulted in poverty and poor diet and depletion of physical strength - and severe trauma of how badly people over 40 are treated in the job market & how judgemental people are towards those who become poor & are begging for help. The situation went on for 13 years until my body just began to shut down.
Amazing information and thank you for sharing your knowledge. In my experience, most western doctors don’t have the ability or expertise to deal with chronic conditions and either write patients off with the conclusion “it’s in your head” or “it’s just something you’re going to have to live with” which is shifting blame to patients. Professionals in any industry, shifting blame to lay people is wrong on every level.
After being referred for a Psychiatric assessment because “all these symptoms are in my head” and then starting Elliotts Protocol 2 weeks ago and having 14 months of symptoms resolve basically over night I 100% agree with you! The medical industry doesn’t make money out of healthy people unfortunately and Doctors are only taught to manage symptoms with expensive medicines (when they’re available) 🤦🏼♂️
A 'there's hope video'! It's really good seeing fibro warriors find ways to help improve their condition. The NHS is failing us because there's no targets, quality payments, audit requirements, or comprehensive assessment and ongoing management of fibromyalgia to be found. Fibromyalgia is complex, with many contributing factors and symptoms. Treating what's treatable, particularly if it causes pain is really important, but often overlooked. Pain Clinics have failed many patients badly because the 'you need to learn to manage your aches and pains yourself' drive went mainstream. It's insane to find physiotherapists at the front end of some services peddling a handful of exercises and pain education, degrading healthcare to what feels more like narcissistic abuse, even considered appropriate.
After 2 days of supplementing with 300 mg benfotiamine, I felt a noticeable improvement in my energy and will to live. When the first bottle was gone, I felt crippling depression and discouragement again. I just restarted 2 days ago and I'm already feeling much better.
I started having weird symptoms after I finished treatments for H Pylori and I think I read that one of the antibiotics I took depletes the body of vitamin b1
@@eheheh3263 Antibiotics kill all good bacteria in stomach, so one has to take extra probiotics❗ I donot understand why doc's are NOT telling that to peep's❓🤔 Though on other hand it is better for them, 'cause people will get back with more issues.. ❓many years ago they gave advice to drink yoghurt everyday one is taking antibiotics... 🤷♀️
So happy to have stumbled upon this, Vish was singing my life song. I have been a test case of numerous doctors for years…. Actually decades and most like to give you the diagnosis of depression. Of course I am depressed… after all these years. I am gonna watch and read more and see if I can turn my situation around. God Bless you for sharing this… I think B1 is one thing I haven’t tried, darn near everything else though! 😉
Can't thank you enough for this. These stories mirror that of my son - finally seeing some improvements after reaching a point of hopelessness - came across another of your videos which popped up serendipitously in my feed, on this theme. (cupboard full of supplements as so many people here - desperation without proper guidelance leads us up a lot of blind alleys). I left nursing a few years ago and could no longer conduct a medication round with a clear conscience. People are given these bucket diagnoses and sent on their way with no real answers and always, it seems, a question mark hanging over their mental health. Metronidazole is used so much in hospitals - any gynae patients - cast your minds back - nothing is done to protect patients from dreadful and enduring side effects
I have chronic fatigue and pretty bad anxiety. Because of the chronic fatigue i was barely able to leave the house which caues anxiety and the symptoms were so bad. Like a panic attack that lasted for 4/5 months 24/7. After a couple days of taking HQ B-complex and magnesium 400 my life turned around. I have energy everyday (still sleeping to late), and finally the energy to take my life back. Still battling anxiety but ill get there. Long story short. I can confirm b vitamines almost cured my chronic fatigue i gues. Update 2 months later: B vitamins+ magnesium 400/600 a day(i have gut health issues) and just exercise reduced my fatigue and anxiety a lot. Also dont forget knowledge
Try high dose inositol for the anxiety, that was the key for me. I had improved so much but was still having anxiety/OCD issues and was getting crippling, to the point I thought I'd need to find a therapist. I came across inositol (can't remember where) but it works wonderfully. Start slow and work your way up to 12-18 grams a day in divided doses. Get the powder, the pills would cost a fortune and you'd have to take fistfuls. It tastes really good too.
@@dmarie719 Take magnesium (bis)glycinate or citrate, 300-600mg a day. Also get up those levels of Vitamin D3, K2 and some zinc as well. Lastly, if you have symptoms like chronic fatigue then take lots of b1 and a b complex. Exact dosage depends on your age and lifestyle but you can be sure that they are much higher than the RDA. Thank me later
I spoke with Vish (in the comments) about 1 week ago after watching this video. I had all the SAME symptoms and no answers for 3-4 years. I took B1 last week and have had new abundant energy! At the same time, I met an American doctor where I'm living as an expat 2 days ago, and after telling her all my symptoms, she said one word, 'fibromyalgia'. My first ever diagnoses in this journey 🥺 I was told I'm too young from 15 doctors for diseases. As if disease is a respector of ages! The lack of education in the medical field is awful. I'm very thankful to God and channel's like this. The funny thing is after this channel, I threw 'spaghetti to the wall' and took a concoction of B1 (100, then 200 mg), CoQ10, B complex, Reservatol and Glutathione, and multivitamin. After the doctor mentioned Fibro, I did a quick research and reservatrol is excellent for it, so it's all coming together full circle and I was already taking what's best for Fibro symptoms. I really thought I was dying at 37 y.o. Family and friends wrote me off as a hypochondriac. I'm happy I didn't give up. I knew deep down I was deficient in something but could not figure out what even after aggressive RUclips and Google searches all these years. I just stumbled on this video that showed up in my algorithm and figured I've never considered B1 for chronic fatigue syndrome. This video changed my health and life so far- thank you! P.S Nobody mentions night terrors as a result of low B1. Was getting recurring ones night after night and I usually rarley dream. The anxiety also that impacts the nervous saystem, and sensitivity to light and sound... hearing everyone talk LOUDLY in the room. I REALLY suffered...but thankful things are turning around now! 🙏
For as a vegetarian who did not drink milk, but ate eggs. My B12 levels came back normal, but I was very symptomatic, many of the ones he mentioned. All my labs came back normal. As a health care provider i decided to dig more. Starting take B12 supplements, form the data i read, and it made a huge difference in my life.
I have pernicious anemia and have b12 injections. The injections basically just keep you alive. I pay for extra injections. Drs are failing people left right and centre. Sometimes you have to treat yourself with the help of others
Both of you are wonderful beings that I would love to have tea with. This really opened up my appreciation of how important B1 is, and it's ramifications. Way back in the late 1970's, I learned from my studies in Scientology how B1 is the 'mind' vitamin; we used to have to take it if we were having counselling sessions. Also, therefore, I took an extra B1 tablet for each beer or drink that I would have at the disco. I used to go disco dancing, and always replaced my B1 with each drink.

Can I ask you a serious question? I swear I'm not trying to be obnoxious. I had a brief stint into Scientology and I do know a lot about it. If someone is high up the bridge, maybe clear or OT level and they encounter someone who is pretty negative about Scientology. Why declare them a suppressive person and cut them off? Aren't people up on the bridge incredibly able to handle all kinds of situations and people? I mean, I'm in sales and I deal with negative people all the time and it's not a big deal. People are able to make their own decisions and I don't take anything personally. But just because a friend or family member disagrees with me, I'm not going to cut them off. I don't need to because I'm a mature person who knows how to deal with people. So Scientology is supposed to be able to enhance your abilities yet if someone doesn't agree with your point of view, you disconnect. I thought Scientologists have good communication skills and can deal with different situations? I guess not. You don't like me so I'll communicate. Meanwhile Scientology is destroying families all over the world and that's why it's a shrinking religion despite what Miscavage tells you. It just doesn't make any sense. Why would a Scientologist be so incapable of dealing with someone who disagrees with them? Doesn't that make them LESS capable to dealing with the world than non scientologists? How are you going to save the planet when you can't even deal with someone that doesn't agree with you? It totally makes NO sense if you think about it logically. Again, no offense. I'm curious to hear what you have to say.
@@scottallen8950 Jehovah's witnesses are the same way. If someone no longer believes any of their doctrine they are "disfellowshipped" and considered apostates and their family and friends can no longer associate with them.
The creator of Scientology Hubbard wrote a book with all kinds of amazing information about detoxing with sauna and niacin. God bless him. I did all the protocols and they were very helpful.
I was struck by symptoms, much like the person interviewed in this video, that started in 2014 after a misdiagnosed flu/lung infection, massive doses of antibiotics to fix the 'flu' and a dentist visit gone awry. I struggled for years with fibromyalgia, CFS, near comatose fatigue, severe GI issues, food sensitivities galore, cardiac arrhythmias (SVT), POTS, loosing excessive weight (from 148lbs to 92 and then a couple years later down to 89lbs for a 5'2" medium frame), crippling neuropathy, muscle spasms that turned my urine brown, poor blood sugar control, a diagnosis of dysautonomia and mast cell activation and so much more. After trying lots of therapies, vitamins and minerals, diets galore and years of scans and imaging later, I discovered B1, low oxalate diet and Dr. Lonsdale and Marrs's book. I started taking benfothiamine in jan of 2020 and have not looked back since. My symptoms started improving almost immediately and my energy started coming back. Two covid infections and my body went back to its original state of mayhem. I still continued with the B1 and in the last 6 months I tripled my dose of B1 with a corresponding increase in mag, potassium, zinc, vit d, selenium, molybdenum, very low dose copper sulfate, occasional b-complex and B2 etc. My energy is way better. My 2nd covid infection brought back a lot of my original symptoms like brain inflammation, poor word recall, occasional vertigo, sleep disturbances and this feeling of discomfort in my jaws (like they aren't aligned properly). So I still have a large amount of work to do but benfothiamine was very instrumental in helping my energy metabolism head in the direction of recovery. TTFD was a disaster with too many side effects. From being a swimmer and hiker, crashing to a point of hardly any movement, and now being able to walk and cook and care for my kiddo seems like progress in the right direction. I do think that I am one of those who genetically needed large amounts of b1 and other b vitamins. With dementia, lots of brain hemorrhages, fatal cardiovascular and GI issues, asthma etc in my family, energy metabolism is clearly a big concern.
Can you please tell us the dosages of the supplements you take? Especially the B1 amount. And do you take it daily without ever taking a break from it?
I was diangosed with Ulcerative Colitus, Fibromyalgia and skin issues. My specialist gave me a prescription for various drugs whxih my body responded to badly. My G.P. who was trained in South Africa suggested I try Curcumin ( the active compound of Tumeric). From the second day the symptoms grew less and less until after 7 days they were gone. No U.C. symptoms, no Fibromyalgia, and my skin has improved too. All from a naturally occurring product. 1 tablet each morning before breakfast.
This is my story -feeling so overwhelmed that I’m not the only one suffering .starting the B1 since we don’t get these doses in India .look fwd to sharing the story soon
I thought the same thing, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. Speech was tricky for me, along with balance. I think I have really exceptional motor skills that masked some of this stuff. Hopefully I can do one of these videos someday, I'm on day 40 or so. Currently still with Magnesium Malate, Potassium Citrate, B Complex, and 300mg of TTFD, and Zinc in the evening, along with a multi in the morning and evening. My GI issues seem to be rectifying, but that has made recovery challenging. Man, I am STILL listening and it's crazy how many things Vish says that ring true, like "feeling like you're dying", I think that's a combo of the Tachycardia, nervous system shutdown, etc. EDIT: There is ONE thing though that I haven't seen anyone else report, and it's a very weird way I dealt with this for a long time. No GI movement? well, eat a lot and it will push the old food out. I seem to have an iron gut and no reflux through all of this, so I was able to do this when most others don't seem to go this route.
Guys, it's worth a try! After a Corona-Infection I had massive digestive problems for more than a year and nothing helped; going low fodmap a bit. At some point I only ate carrots and potatoes if I didn't want to have symptoms.... Came across Elliots videos and gave B1 a chance. After 1 pill everything stopped. I am still puzzled- not in my wildest dreams I had expected this. Thank you for your work!!!
@May May,Glad to hear that you're doing better. How much Vitamin B1 did you start taking? Do you take it everyday? Going thru long covid for 8 months😢😢
Thank you, Vish, for your time - it's very informative. Your delivery style is also engaging and helped me stay tuned no matter how tired I felt! Yes, I have CFS, but no treatment from doctors, "just gotta' live with it!". Have tried SO many things... no relief. Thanks again for a new direction I can take! TN, USA viewer
Vish I had h-pylori back in December 2015 after coming back from a trip from Disney world. They wanted me on a whole bunch of antibiotics and I took one and I have allergic reaction. so I looked up how to heal it naturally. they said to drink kefir yogurt so told my doctor I was going to try it she said go ahead but I don't think it will work. It worked. I drank a full bottle of kefir brand yogurt I did blueberry and I tried organic peach at that time. I mean it's a really big bottle. Drank 1 a day gulped it down then gulped the other half later in day. You can gett it at Walmart still in 2023 and within 10 days of drinking one full bottle she retested me and my h-pylori was gone no medicine. I needed this video because I suffer severely so much fatigued no help uncontrolled high blood pressure severe anxiety pain all over feel severely sick like the flu feel like I'm fighting fight-or-flight all day I am going to try B1.
Vish, I feel this on so many levels. Went through B vitamin deficiencies and had the same types of symptoms, including ataxia and severe tremors, muscle weakness. I was told I might have MS and then later was told it was in my head and that I'm just "crazy." I started taking methlylated B12 since it was on the low end of normal and started to feel a bit better but definitely wasn't starting to feel healed until I started taking a pretty high dose of other B vitamins, as well, after figuring out that I had symptoms aligning with beri beri. Glad you're feeling better.
I took methylated b12 for about a year, but I still take the B-vitamin and minerals a few times a week... I would go get your levels tested though, especially if high doses, because some vitamins can cause serious issues if the body has too much... For me, I can tell when I have B-deficiencies because I get canker sores and dry flakey corners of my lips along with numbness/nerve pain in my legs/arms@@aj9706
Oh this sounds exactly like what Ive been going through for the last 4 years. Except I haven’t had the pain. But peripheral neuropathy, cognitive issues, crushing anxiety, everything I ate made me fatigued, gluten allergy? Dumpings syndrome?? Anemia? At one point I couldn’t drive my car more than 10 minutes without slumping behind the wheel, then I had to quit coffee cuz it gave me severe vertigo. Tried to get a cfs diagnosis from the psychiatrist and walked out with an adhd diagnosis 🤷♂️ I recently developed really bad rls and still can’t sleep more than 3/4 hours a night. I too thought I had Parkinson’s or alzheimers, it was so scary particularly when I had a mortgage, no family support and a disabled son and sick wife totally reliant on me. On top of that my first son god diagnosed with level 2/3 autism and my partner developed lupus and stage 1 cancer. I tried b1, it helped for 1 day and then went back to normal. for me it’s been a combination of longevity supplements, primarily mitochondrial supplements, iron, lions mane and going to the gym once certain supplements, namely tmg, gave me back some of my energy, after I started at the gym things got better and better . Although it’s still early days, maybe a week, I keep waiting for things to go back to how they were. Fingers crossed they don’t.
I have fibromyalgia and I would love to get my energy level up and get rid of the anxiety. I changed my diet(1st keto and now carnivore) reduced stress, took myself off all the meds the Drs put me on and the only thing that triggers the fibromyalgia pain is stress. I was diagnosed after a back injury. I do have chronic pain because of the pinched nerves but I've got the fibromyalgia pain under control. Still dealing with anxiety and low energy.
I watched a video of yours regarding b vitamins, thiamine specifically I think after feeling extremely inflamed after a flu type illness that lasted only 1-2 days. I had a b vitamin complex sitting on a shelf and thought ‘what the heck.. it’s a vitamin supplement so it can’t do much worse then what I’m feeling now’. Turned out it was like a light switch turning back on! Felt amazing in less then 24 hours, no more inflammation after the illness and to add to the benefits, no more inflammation in general and I’m a carpenter of 17 years. Feel better then ever and I’ve used a general multi vitamin supplement on and off with very little effect. Thank you so very much for the videos, I might not of ever understood the importance of b vitamins for my body without stumbling across your videos and channel. I haven’t even used b1 alone yet but just the b vitamin complex it has made in incredible difference. Great to hear another success with this gentleman also 🙂
Amen .... I work in construction . My tendons were hardening , I did a normal kick on a bucket lid and tore every muscle in my leg... My nerves and blood vessels instantly started improving after b1 and healing and sleep and eyes brighter and reversal of fatigue ..
It's amazing what people are capable of when the chips are down. Life is worth it, so we keep going. And with a bit of hope, wit, and a bit of luck, (and some wise guidance), we end up on the right path.
Many years ago about 13 now, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and told there’s was nothing that could be done, I would just have to live with it. Fast forward 3 years ago a bunch of test were ran and now they say I have an autoimmune disease spondyloarthritis and have tried many medications and it’s exhausting. With all that said I’m still tired all the time have very low energy and constant chronic pain, migraines, plus spasms and cramps in my legs. They now have taken fibromyalgia off my chart as things I’ve been diagnosed with. Medications they’ve put me on do t seem to be working and I’ve changed my diet completely and have taken out many snack foods and fast foods. I’m at a loss this video was refreshing I hope to try the supplements and get better too. I don’t want to take medications the rest of my life. 🙏blessings
🎉 Congratulations 🎉 on your recovery ❤️🩹 success so far Vish. Thanks Elliot … so watchable as always; this one felt so light and delightful to watch but still went deep to be of real value eg the line of questioning about could anything else be responsible for the changes… etc. Simple and effective… ready for the next one! 🙌🙂
I've benefited from sulfur from B1, taurine, NAC, ALA. Don't forget about other essential minerals, vitamins, i found Copper to be one of the missing pieces of the puzzle, likely very low for many, exacerbated for me by history of medications and zinc supplementation. Along with carnivore my peripheral nerve symptoms and depression, fatigue, etc. have all improved dramatically, when years of conventional medical care failed to help. good luck out there
@@moniryousefian8782 i've used a few brands, mostly "Trophic" as 2mg copper bisglycinate. AOR makes a zinc + copper formulation, although the ratio of zinc to copper may be too high to correct a copper deficiency effectively. too much at once can cause nausea and other detox symptoms, take with lots of water, start slow. The recommended maximum intake of copper is 10mg/day, there's reason to be skeptical of that number but you may wish to stay below that. I ramped up to 20mg per day and then ramped back down, I'm a fairly large guy and sweat a lot in sauna so my mineral needs may be higher. Cofactors include vitamin A, i take some cod liver oil and other minerals. the best food source is beef liver which I don't enjoy but that would probably naturally include the relevant cofactor nutrients. I was so so deficient that even 2 or 4 mg a day made a noticeable difference in mood and energy within a few days.
I would say he's gotten the treatment most women get which is to have our symptoms be completely dismissed. I had a hiatal hernia at 27 and had to convince doctors to do an upper endoscopy because they kept telling me it was just anxiety 😳 Also much respect to doing your own research and identifying what will help. There are risks to this, but the best thing you can do when you have a health condition is to learn as much as you can about it. Doctors have multiple times given me prescriptions for things that have either worsened my condition or given me new, worse ones. I have been able to overcome all my health issues and health anxiety, and a big part of this is relying on doctors as little as possible aside from formal testing
When they star giving you pills to take, you have to find out why. When you do, you realize that it will make you dependant on them and will NEVER solve your issue. Just makes you DEPENDANT on them. When you REALLY want to heal, you give your body WHAT IT NEEDS and it will do the rest. Everyone not working WITH the body is working agaisnt it.
@@celuiquipeut6527 yes I agree completely. it's insane how superficial most treatments are from doctors. like giving me a PPI for my hiatal hernia, which just prevents my stomach from producing stomach acid, which will lead to so many other issues long term. I stopped taking that pretty much immediately when I understood what was involved.
Your chanel rocks! You are also so serious as a researcher basically ( in my eyes you are ) and i honestly wish, every doctor and medical scientist would be so serious. You rock also, so to speak. You also intervieuw people and their path they suffered and walked, together with improvements. Your curiosity brings us better understanding. Good to hear all this very important stories of people. I feel going to school again, but with a great teacher. Dr. Peter Osborne is also a great teacher in hollistic health and vitamins/minerals and more. Thank you young man. I wish i had a son like you. You can see the passion in your way of presenting things. Kind regards from 🇧🇪
I have recently been diagnosed with Fibro, i also suffer with arthritis throughout my spine. Few years ago whilst i was working, my health really hit the wall, after months of being on sick leave, i was told i had to see my employers medical advisor, Dr.... he diagnosed i was simply piss#@ off and tired!!. They tried to make out i was a liar. Ill health retired a few years later. This year after years of complaining of poor health, Rheumatologist consultant, diagnosed fibromyalgia. So i got the serious problems with spine and added fibro. My life for 8 years was one of wanting to end it, because noone in nhs or former employers dr made me feel i was lying!!! Thanks for this post.
Vish has described my life in the past few years. Just started CoQ10 and complex b vitamins and it really helps. Fatigue has lifted and pain reduced dramatically.
Excellent Testimony for taking your health into your own hands! Vish did an amazing job of articulating his journey from start to finish! As a Registered Nurse in LA, he is a dream patient! I have most every symptom and attributed it to long covid. I will definitely be looking into B1!
What a lovely chap . I think alot of people turn away from medicine to the holistic routes due to lack of understanding of what is happening to the sufferers and its impact on quality of life .
This guy so looks like my kids dentist 😆 if it wasn't because u rbin UK 😊, but your twin is in Las Vegas lol, your voice and expression, your smile, all your facial features wow
This is exactly what i have now! Fatigue, muscle pains, digestive, memory. But with me it all started with covid in 2020 despite nothing serious. I took every type of supplement except B1
@@gnosisdespirit Can you elaborate or give a link that can ? i also have heavy fatigue for nearly 1 year now i had chronic Fatigue and insomnia but after a heavy herpes outbreak,in the last year i can hardly get out of bed before noon and feel sleepy most of the time of the day and night.
@@Realmasterorder I wonder if BHT could also help you. It’s a preservative, but you can buy it as a supplement, and it kills fat-encased viruses like Herpes. *See below warnings/follow-up responses also.*
This is my story almost word for word. I had no clue about the B1 vitamin so I can assure you I will be heading to the store ASAP and picking up some B1. I am a 70 year young widow and was diagnosed with FMS/CFS 30 years ago. I have taken ever kind of meds vitamins etc known to man...almost. The B1 though, is a new one so I will be grabbing some later today. Thank you both so very much for this info.
There is a synthetic Thiamin you will want to add to your vitamin regimen. Thiamin (B1) is water soluable and can be absorbed into nerve tissue. Benfotiamine, synthetic Thiamine is fat soluable it goes into tge sheath around nerve tissue which is fatty tissue so the Benfotiamine absorbs into this layer where it changes to Thiamine and is 20x more absorbable into the nerve tissue. This gentleman has a video about Benfotiamine. Thanks to B1 and Benfotiamine, I no longer get kept up all night with feeling like a red hot rod is being stuck into my feet! I have been able to stop needing gabapentin for neuropathy pain! But, don't just take my word for it! Please, look up Benfotiamine for yourself. I do not ask anyone to trust a stranger just because they say it worked. It is always good practice to research and verify! Best wishes in your recovery!
Very inspiring story. Gives me hope. This condition has ruined my life for the last 40 years but I'm not giving up yet. He's a lucky young man to have recovered while he's still young and can look forward to a long healthy life. Interesting that both our cases were triggered by pharma drugs, in my case, lorazapan. I'm sure the pharma drug dealers kill and maim more people than they help.
@@GeorgeStar I hv taken a lot of it. My brain is rotting hv had Chronic Fatigue syndrome for 5 or 6 years. It is no life. One thing which has really helped this year is getting into Stoicism with Ryan Holiday on You tube. It is really changing my life There is a vid on yt of Ryan interviewing a usa actor who overcame alcohol through Stoicism. Also excellent are Florence Shovell Shins affirmation s and meditation s. Especially ine re health. Also on yt.this amazing woman self published her own books in 1925. Much better than similar modern content all the best to you.
Omg, I have been suffering from all this for many years! It’s been at least twenty five and slowly got worse even though I was fighting with everything I had. I researched vitamins and supplements, I spent a fortune on any hope I could find. But nothing helped. I’m now at a point where my life is not worth living. I can’t get off the couch. It’s where I sleep and stay. Getting up to go to appointments, etc., is hell. I need days to psych myself into doing it. I sweat profusely, and I feel like I’m so heavy. It makes it hard to function. This is again, a small hope. Though I’ve pretty much given up on all the “hope” because it’s always let me down. I’m so tired and fatigued that I don’t have much fight left in me to try to overcome this anymore. I’m only 55 but I’m imprisoned in my own body. And talk about the brain fog!!! It’s awful! I can’t get words to come to mind, even when their words I use regularly. I used to have a high (I’m having trouble thinking of the term even as we speak) … vocabulary and was extremely scientific minded. I’m so totally frustrated now because I can see how much my mental capacity has declined and can’t seem to do anything to improve it. It’s like I’m withering away. It’s definitely making me depressed, how couldn’t it? So where do I start? The three things you mentioned here in this video? I took screenshots of several parts so I could have the info since I know I’d never remember. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!! 😞
My symptoms after my (mandated) 2nd C jab gave me those exact symptoms. Trying to work while suffering from ridiculous exhaustion, dizziness and loss of balance, memory problems, unable to find a word in my brain until a day or week later... Black outs of a memory until a week later ... Making up new words. ... Free speech was "freech." Blood clot is "blot." I asked if there was any hand sanitizer on the med cart the other day and I said "sand hanitizer." By the time 4 pm comes around I am spent. Brain shuts down, body is done. I have to sit in my car for 10 minutes before I can even drive.
Don’t worry. Take the bentothiamine. Also read the book “detox or die”. Consider going to a naturopath to do a heavy metal test. If mercury is high, you may consider the Hubbard sauna / niacin detox protocol or Dr Andy Cutler low dose dmsa protocol to get it out.
Don't forget b12, all those symptoms could be low b12 too. The threshold for normal in the UK is too low. Ask for your numbers, it needs to be above 500 to be optimal
All his symptoms sounds familiar. the drs thinking I’m crazy is accurate. Even taking vit b1 increased my symptoms but made me look so much better in my face. But I had to stop. So I will try again with other supplements. It’s so scary, and lonely.
2003 I developed chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, pain in my neck and shoulder pain etc., tried so many different treatments, diet etc., etc. , red light infra red, 8:35 keto helped as did, carnivore, fasting also, I was so sensitive to carbohydrates and craved sugar! Anyway I started listening to my son who suggested B1 & istening to Elliot and I finally started B1, B complex, transdermal magnesium, and a few other supplements and after 3 1/2 weeks feel so much better, pain all over has subsided a lot, I still have a way to go however I must say that what I noticed almost immediately was my SUGAR CRAVINGS went away, that is anonymous for me..
@@Mortthemoose I haven't found benfotiamine so expensive. Maybe it's the brand, but I use Doctors Best brand of Benfotiamine 150mg gel caps for $15 for 120 caps.
Thank you so much! You gave me a hope! I live in my bed, suffering from fribromyalgia, chronic fatique syndrome and much, much more. I just bought these vitamine! Thank you!
Let us know how it goes. I temporarily cured a fatigue problem of my own using copper, but sadly only lasted maybe two weeks. On a thiamine journey now, but believe I need to increase the dose as no effect yet.
Omg I can not tell you how happy I am that you made this video. I’ve had fibro for many years. I had all the same scenarios of d symptoms and conversations with so many doctors. Over the years I had finally narrowed it down to cellular metabolic level (because it’s fend for yourself with fibro) I have been working to come to an answer to what any why this happens. I contacted the Mayo Clinic and said I believed I needed to speak with someone who specialized in cellular metabolism and deficiencies on the cellular level and the transferred me to genetics who helped 0. My symptoms have gotten so much worse than ever so I am going to try this protocol from this video. It’s just nice to see and hear someone who went through the same frustrations and has figured it out. Thank you.
I recently listened to a doctor on YT I wanted to have a reference to consult with my doc. I don't recall all of it but he said it is at least in part due to mitochondrial dysfunction and it starts in the gut. I had listened to various doctors on YT but nothing they said resonated with me. I also listened to Mayo docs but I saw no help there it seemed they had more of a band-aid approach like the others who said fibro is 'manageable...I thought ah yeah. Have had it many years like you do I hope this bit of info will help you.

My husband died in a hospital (COVID was blamed) due to lack of thiamine and other nutrients (of course). I believe he had Wernicke's encephalopahty shortly after being admitted to the ER. He was dehydrated and would would not eat. They would do nothing for him. He should have been given a "banana bag" according to my daughter. These hospitals were absolutly a kill zone.
Very sorry.
I’m very sorry for loss.
KEEP THE HELL AWAY FROM HOSPITALS …
I totally agree! Hospital is now a killing zone. My mom was admitted to the hospital because of lactic acidosis ( is caused when the mitochondria is not producing enough energy from lack of nutrients, in this case would be thyamine deficienc specifically,for diabetics are very low, her case extremely low) I could see that she actually was having a heart failure because of extremely thyamine deficiency, I could see all the symptoms of edema in her legs,abdominal area, her face,extremely tired,difficult breathing. Prior of being admitted she urinated lots wich caused even more deficiencies in most her B vitamins, potassium, sodium, magnesium etc ( she was type 2 diabetic) I told her doctor that she needed very high doses of intravenously thyamine with vitamin C high doses, the doctor told me she was already on it. I asked him what dose was she talking, he said it was 100mg 3 times a day. I told him that she needed urgent at least 500 3 to 4 times a day for at least 4 days straight intravenously then 200 or more daily. He said, let's wait to see how she responds to the lower dose and this is the hospital protocol. They refuse to give any higher then 100mg 3 times a day ( doctors dont understand that a deficiency most often is ONLY corrected with very high doses for short periods or until deficiency is corrected). She passed the next day. They didn't even notice that all her symptoms was from B1 deficiency. This information I read on medical journal that this is the most effective line of treatment for lactic acidosis and sepsis, if you dont treat the lactic acidosis it progresses to sepsis very quickly The longer doctors wait to initiate the procedure the patient health declines very quickly. It also mentioned that 70% of all admitted patients are nutrients deficient SPECIALLY THOSE IN ICU CARE , she was intubated and most likely was unnecessary and caused more harm than good in her case.I believe doctors DONT READ information published about how to treat conditions with nutrients . I was powerless,but yet with a very powerful information that could have saved her life and many others .If you are a doctor reading this, please address nutrients deficiency of your patient, by doing so you can save lives! I have done enough research to know what I'm talking about.
A banana bag???
If you count the gaslighting from my parents I've had 8 or 9 'it's all in your head' illnesses. It took years, sometimes decades, but so far every last one has turned out to be 100% physical.
The single largest obstacle was docs refusing to accept that I could actually be right about anything going on in my body.
So glad you listened more to your own body then so many outside voices! I hope you're doing better now.❤
That's terrible. I have been telling doctors . It's a side effects from medicine. It's sad when people don't believe you. ( me) for pain before. Until they go through it, they don't know. I hope you are doing well
Doctors are working for the insurance companies and they get major pushback when prescribing vitamins/medications and referrals to specialist
@@The11eleven exactly. Though vitamins can't be patented, so they're not hocked like medications that can be patented.
I had a friend who took a critical allergy medicine. Then they discontinued making it altogether because the payment ran out. He was struggling to find something that worked - it had taken so long to find the one he'd been taking.
Doctors want to keep you to themselves, because you are worth money to them!
I saw your video with the Moroccan guy on the 24th of April. I have had fibromyalgia, CFS, IBS, chronic pains on my right leg that has left me bedridden since February. I received my order of thiamax, thiassist and thiactive B on the 4th of May and started with 100mg of thiamine then increased to 200mg after 3days. I decided after two days to increase to 300mg but discovered it made me quite jittery and I felt some brain inflammation. I went back to 200mg since then and on the 14th of May, I started walking again! I still have a slight limp but for the first time in 6years and numerous doctors who told me it was all in my head, I know I am going to be okay. My stomach feels warmer and nomore bloating. The brain fog has cleared significantly since I started TTFD. I can't thank Elliot Overton enough for this great work. I am going to be on B1 for a long time.
I am so happy for you that it helped you🙏. what brand did you use?
That is AMAZING. Would you be willing to come on the channel? I am so happy for you!!!!!!!!
Ulcerative colitis and fibro sufferer for 15 years. Fit and healthy up to age 29 when I had a jab for Rabies. Since then it's been a mess. I am gonna start on the B1 ASAP.

OMG!! Thank You!! I'm living in Hell the extreme chronic fatigue and brain fog loss of remembering and memory. It's so horrible that I can't even tell anyone about anything because I can't recall anything example a movie title or anything about the movie or songs or names the pain is beyond horrible my Husband doesn't even acknowledge that this is real. I'm so sick of being told everything is normal so then I'm left to find my own NATURAL REMEDIES to help myself.😢 I Thank You with ALL of My Heart❣♥️
You’re more than welcome my lovely 😊. The key here is something is doing this to you - find out what it is, and beat it. For me H. Pylori and SIBO were primary factors in this decline - so treatment of those as well as B1 and supporting the rest of my deficiencies over 13 years has almost solved it. You. Can. Do. This ❤
@veeesoni Don't we all wish you were our personal doctor advocating for us? I'm thinking of all people around the world suffering and even those who passed on early (not living full lives) because of a failed Healthcare system and the lack of general acknowledgement for the root cause of CFS and not just treating the symptoms. I've suffered since 2018/2019 and I think I'm towards the end of my discovery and diagnoses. Still haven't figured out what caused my CFS, brain fog, tinnitus, vertigo, etc. I pray this year my God, Jesus Christ, will reveal the cause and end my suffering! Are there tests for all the B's one can take? I'm so thankful to my wonderful husband who did private health insurance at 1 million/year. He knows I've suffered and the country we live has awful public Healthcare so private it is! I hope this new private insurance will help me out a lot with tests I need done. My complete blood count is "perfect" and like you said "off you go" 😔

@@crazyratlady3438 what changes did you make?
I have adrenal fatigue (post burnout) or “long covid” and started taking high doses B1 today. I had NEVER heard anyone mention its importance! Thank you do much Elliot, I’m very excited to start my life again after 4 yrs of so many doctors and so little answers.
people call doctors healthcare "professionals" but yet the so called "professionals" have no answers 😂
Someone I work with started taking NMN and recovered from long covid immediately as well. B1 is the safer option though I think.
Even in the "alternative health" space, barely anyone knows about it. This is why I am so hyperfocused and will continue to post videos on thiamine. As you probably guessed, its my favourite nutrient. It never fails to amaze me, how much benefit it can have for some people. But until it is common knowledge, I wont stop :)
I've heard a biochemistry scientist say that taking a high dose of just one B vitamin will force thr body to flush out whatever reserves you had of the other B vitamins as well. Cause in nature you would get them all together, so the body adapts with that in mind.
@@keylanoslokj1806 I haven't seen much evidence for that.
However, the protocol is generally to take a B complex behind any mega-dose thiamine to account for this possibility
B1 has made me feel alive again, I never want to go back to how I was feeling.
Could you tell what form of B1 you take and amount?
@@cindyleastorch194 I think my reply got deleted for some reason? But I take one that has 500mg of thiamine and 25mg of benfotiamine. I was taking 2 a day at the beginning of last month and now I've started taking 4 a day, I just bought another bottle and still very happy with it.

So i kept taking it for a week and returned to almost normal. And i was bed ridden . No appetite , weight loss, nerves tingly etc. God is good

I have a similar story where I've had chronic migraines all my life, and no one could do anything to help me. I found out by accident that I've had a chronic salt deficiency, and when I fix that my migraines become far, far more manageable.
I have had chronic headaches/migraines since 13, no help or relief. What type of salt?
@@becjane1281 I've just been learning a a lot about the importance of salt in particular Himalayan and Celtic. I've always had a very low salt Diet as thought it was harmful.

It's amazing how we were all led here, isn't it?
Bro... neither of them knew it in the video but my man was describing parasites. Parasites cause vitamin deficiency and chronic fatigue syndrome. I learned more than I ever wanted to know about parasites because I had liver flukes. The same as him I thought the main symptom was just normal muscle twitches. I wasn't even really aware I had chronic fatigue. I just thought I was tired a lot. I saw a few doctors and none of them had ever seen flukes before so they wouldn't have considered it if I hadn't already figured out what the problem was myself. With flukes you never see them in your stools like other parasites so you can have them your whole life and never know it. I took wormwood because I thought I might have some type of parasite which is how I was able to find dead ones in my stool to confirm that I had a parasite and what it was. Then when I did get them diagnosed by a doctor and lab work, I had to try different drugs before I got the right cocktail that was strong enough to kill them. Praziquantel wasn't strong enough. It took triclabendazole plus ivermectin. I hope this helps someone. I know it would have really helped me.
Mine too,
@@michaelcre8 I have twitching everywhere and now u made me scared lol
@@TeemoChan There are lots of other things that cause twitching too. After treating the parasites I still had a weaker twitching that made me think I still had them. I read nerve damage can cause it but eventually determined that weaker twitch was from blood clots.
Vish, you got a Fibro diagnosis. I had a liver transplant in a respected health system in the US, and they failed to diagnose any of this stuff since post transplant when I started complaining of issues. GI doc, primary, pulmonogist, podiatrist, transplant team, none of them diagnosed any of the many ME/CFS sub symptoms I had. I just think the mainstream medical complex is woefully poor at emergent diseases, and nutrition. Nutrition in the medical field in the US is almost non-existent, you have to seek it out, it won't ever be a part of your normal treatment, even if you got a liver transplant.
I am 62 male and got unbelievable joint pains. I just got vitamin B complex injection and Vitamin C injection, B1 tablet and my joint pain just disappeared in 3 hrs. That is really an eye opener. Thx for this video
I just started taking the ttfd and within 24 hours of taking it all of my pain in my feet ankles and knees disappeared along with a bunch of other symptoms, but I can walk around pain-free (I work in the medical field, as a nurse and I can easily put 10 mi a day on my legs) and I don't have to think I need a walker when I get off the couch and can't stand up straight. I'll be 60 next year and I feel like I'm in my mid-20s!
Aloha, thank you two gentlemen for sharing this great information. I took a whole page of notes and an looking forward to seeing some positive results🕊.
Yes I have Fibromyalgia and they believe I got it after having Viral Enchephalitis at 18. Don’t know how it came on but affected every part of body. Hearing went, balance, went blind in later stages. Doctors baffled in 1985, was in 3 different hospitals, in end two of our Churches we were part of all got up and prayed for me. I slowly started to recover. Had to learn to talk, walk, have lots of therapy, left with difficulties like hearing loss, but am alive! Am 56 now and God kept me alive and I praise him for that everyday!
🙏 Amen ❣️

I had stomach issues that lead to immense anxiety and feeling like I was dying. I refused to take any anti depressant medicines, which is all the doctors wanted to prescribe. Life changed when I got on a disolvable b12 vitamin HUGE change. I than also got a disolvable ADEK which helped greatly. Lastly after a couple years of feeling much better ( I also changed my diet to no processed foods ). I started taking b1 - The calm is insane. Just such a huge feeling of gratitude if I take disolvable b1. Goodluck everyone on your health journey!

Remember, most diseases and diseases symptoms don't come from out of nowhere from nothing. Typically, it's something we're doing that we shouldn't or not doing something we should or a combination of both. Our bodies become toxic due to a buildup of mucus, acidosis, inflammation, etc. due to diet, lifestyle, negative thoughts, chemicals in products we use and so on. The first thing I did when I got very sick with multiple symptoms was to run straight back to nature because we are products of nature. For two years I ate primarily salads for meals along with lots of fruits, berries and melons. Many people make the mistake of thinking they can't eat these foods because their bodies react negatively - gas, bloating, nausea, digestive issues, diarrhea, etc. when they switch from eating their normal diet to eating fruits and veggies. Well, I made that same mistake, but this is a normal reaction because our bodies are overloaded with toxic gunk that needs to be purged and detoxified. That's exactly what the fruits and veggies are doing. It's their job to push toxins from the body. There will be many symptoms as the body detoxes such as the ones I named and more. 100% of my symptoms disappeared after about two-years of eating what humans are meant to eat. No more tinnitus, IBS, foggy thinking, memory loss, atrial fibrillation, anxiety, aching muscles and joints, etc. It takes time for the body to heal, so people need to be patient and give it time. Many cases are simply malnutrition. Your body can no longer absorb the nutrients you require because of blockages and inflammation. Clean and open the pathways and the body can then absorb and assimilate the nutrients it requires for homeostasis.
I am posting this to say that, incredibly, I have exactly the same history and symptoms as this young man. My gratefulness, Elliot, is without limit. It is exiting that you realize the importance of your career focus. You are truly doing remarkable work. I cannot thank you and Vish enough for sharing this information. Be blessed in your future efforts.

I came across this video 3 nights ago. I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I watched one of your videos on B1 about a year ago maybe before that. I had bought some B1 then was afraid to take it. Well, listening to this gentleman give his testimony on his symptoms he blew me away because everything this man spoke of is everything i have gone through the most frustrating part of feeling this way was the doctors saying it was in my head and i knew differently. At the beginning of July of this year. I had to take the bull by the horns. I had gained weight during covid and knew I needed to lose it. So i started eat the way I did when I had lost 140 lbs and intermediate fasting I am a 45 year old female and know with aging vitamins and minerals play a role in aging. 2 year ago I was having the digestive problems and my sister in - law had sent me spirulina. when i started to fast intermediately with only eating veggies and fruits fish and chicken I started to take the spirulina. Before when she sent it my digestive track couldn't even handle the spirulina. A week later a B1 came across my mind and finally started taking it. The inflammation, the brain fog, and cognitive thinking has gotten better about 50% but only
Started fasting the last week of June , I started the spirulina a week later then that is when The B1 came across my mind and started taking it. Just in this short time I feel better and my cognitive thinking as time goes on I know will even get better listen to this man. In the three week I started really can say detox my system i have lost 20 lbs and have 30 more to go. Your video is a blessing thank you and God bless.
Benfotiamine is a fat soluble form of vitamin B1, and because of that it can pass across the cellular membrane and enter a cell directly. This is why it is many times more effective than thiamine. Also as an aside people along the spectrum tend to be less absorbent of important body micronutrients so a big response is not unusual. The Thing for quite a number of people may be causing similar absorbency problems so taking Benfotiamine which is known for its ability to boost our neural circuitry could help sufferers recover. It may in of itself destroy the spike or at least enable that.
What foods contain high amounts of Benfotiamine and other forms of B1?
@@brianlittrell797 Benfotiamine is a vitamin B1 precursor. Claims are up to 100 times more absorbent than straight water soluble B1. Its not found naturally in foods. The two best natural foods for B1 are hard cheese from non pasteurized milk, and Natto. Fermented foods are the best as bacteria are needed to produce B1.
@@DavidRose-m8s Thank you David.
Interesting about being less absorbent of micronutrients, when I changed from supplements to transdermal patches I noticed a huge life-changing difference. I think because I have too much copper and not enough zinc causing candida overgrowth then this hugely hinders absorption.

I have experienced wonderful results with vit d b1 omega 3 . Also learning medical Dr's do not know every thing. I pray healing for you. There is light available never give up
Bless you always ❤
Thank God we have people like this sharing their journey to health. With so many people having identical symptoms (myself included), why isn't the health care industry more helpful in at least educating people in what might be happening. In my case, health care has been no help in even guiding me as to what might be happening-only handing out drugs for the pain, which have been helpful but have left me without hope. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
So happy for you Vish...enjoy every minute....only those of us who have lost our health know what it means to get it back..go hard my friend
My dreams are shattered due to gerd , CFS , Brain fog
You never cease to amaze me, I'm serious every one of these videos that I watch or when I read the comments I'm hearing people describe the very symptoms I've had or been having
I just started TTFD not even a full week ago and my anxiety depression those things went away within 24 hours, the burning under my skin between my knee and ankles is gone the tingling in my hands and arms has finally gone, I cannot believe my energy levels I'm going to be 60 next year and I literally feel like I'm in my mid-to-late twenties! And my cognitivity has been returning to my 20's status - I haven't had the wheels in my brain turn like that in decades! And let's not forget pain. I walk probably give or take 10 miles a day at work over a course of 8 hours easily, and the pain in my tendons in my feet and my knees are sore and by the end of my shift I'm walking like I could use a cane or a walker just to get out to my car. Within 24 hours of being on this TTFD, I had incredible spring in my step a longer stride and I don't have pain and I walk out that door to the parking lot without the pain - absolutely incredible!!
And to think that doctors don't even understand nutrition or vitamin and minerals and how they work as cofactors, and they assist with enzymatic actions I mean I remember learning this stuff at college in PRE med - what's wrong with doctors today? They should not be allowed to have a license or a doctorate unless they know how nutrition or lack thereof affects the human body. 🤨😠
Such a lovely young man. So glad he's feeling better. I wish him continued good health. 🌹
Vish is freaking hilarious, quirky and captivating all at the same time.
And he seems so energetic !
He is also beautiful...😍 A lady killer for sure... Too young for me, lol... 🤗😉
@@noeldeal8087 And a man killer too haha. I think Elliot is beautiful too ❤
Don’t forget handsome
This is by far one of the most informative and interesting discussion I've seen on RUclips. It's amazing how this chap researched and found treatment for a condition that medical doctors had little or no clue about.
I suffered severe emotional & psychological trauma during the 2008 economic crash and after due to age discrimination which resulted in poverty and poor diet and depletion of physical strength - and severe trauma of how badly people over 40 are treated in the job market & how judgemental people are towards those who become poor & are begging for help. The situation went on for 13 years until my body just began to shut down.
And that is how I became depleted of B1 and other nutrients. Sever on going trauma and being in survival mode for many years.
Amazing information and thank you for sharing your knowledge. In my experience, most western doctors don’t have the ability or expertise to deal with chronic conditions and either write patients off with the conclusion “it’s in your head” or “it’s just something you’re going to have to live with” which is shifting blame to patients. Professionals in any industry, shifting blame to lay people is wrong on every level.
After being referred for a Psychiatric assessment because “all these symptoms are in my head” and then starting Elliotts Protocol 2 weeks ago and having 14 months of symptoms resolve basically over night I 100% agree with you!
The medical industry doesn’t make money out of healthy people unfortunately and Doctors are only taught to manage symptoms with expensive medicines (when they’re available) 🤦🏼♂️
A 'there's hope video'! It's really good seeing fibro warriors find ways to help improve their condition. The NHS is failing us because there's no targets, quality payments, audit requirements, or comprehensive assessment and ongoing management of fibromyalgia to be found. Fibromyalgia is complex, with many contributing factors and symptoms. Treating what's treatable, particularly if it causes pain is really important, but often overlooked. Pain Clinics have failed many patients badly because the 'you need to learn to manage your aches and pains yourself' drive went mainstream. It's insane to find physiotherapists at the front end of some services peddling a handful of exercises and pain education, degrading healthcare to what feels more like narcissistic abuse, even considered appropriate.
After 2 days of supplementing with 300 mg benfotiamine, I felt a noticeable improvement in my energy and will to live. When the first bottle was gone, I felt crippling depression and discouragement again. I just restarted 2 days ago and I'm already feeling much better.
Great. 300mg a day?
Oh my God this is crazy because this explains a lot of things. All my symptoms started right after I finished my antibiotics cycle.
I started having weird symptoms after I finished treatments for H Pylori and I think I read that one of the antibiotics I took depletes the body of vitamin b1
@@eheheh3263 Antibiotics kill all good bacteria in stomach, so one has to take extra probiotics❗ I donot understand why doc's are NOT telling that to peep's❓🤔 Though on other hand it is better for them, 'cause people will get back with more issues.. ❓many years ago they gave advice to drink yoghurt everyday one is taking antibiotics... 🤷♀️
Yup I had all his symptoms...from antibiotics too.
@@eheheh3263Same!!!!! I have gerd also hpylori , Finished antibiotics n PPI , All of a sudden got hit with CFS
You probably have candida. Always comes on after antibiotics
So happy to have stumbled upon this, Vish was singing my life song. I have been a test case of numerous doctors for years…. Actually decades and most like to give you the diagnosis of depression. Of course I am depressed… after all these years. I am gonna watch and read more and see if I can turn my situation around. God Bless you for sharing this… I think B1 is one thing I haven’t tried, darn near everything else though! 😉
I get so excited Elliott when I see your new videos. This is such a great testimony. Way to go Vish.
Can't thank you enough for this. These stories mirror that of my son - finally seeing some improvements after reaching a point of hopelessness - came across another of your videos which popped up serendipitously in my feed, on this theme. (cupboard full of supplements as so many people here - desperation without proper guidelance leads us up a lot of blind alleys). I left nursing a few years ago and could no longer conduct a medication round with a clear conscience. People are given these bucket diagnoses and sent on their way with no real answers and always, it seems, a question mark hanging over their mental health. Metronidazole is used so much in hospitals - any gynae patients - cast your minds back - nothing is done to protect patients from dreadful and enduring side effects
Truth !
I have chronic fatigue and pretty bad anxiety. Because of the chronic fatigue i was barely able to leave the house which caues anxiety and the symptoms were so bad. Like a panic attack that lasted for 4/5 months 24/7. After a couple days of taking HQ B-complex and magnesium 400 my life turned around. I have energy everyday (still sleeping to late), and finally the energy to take my life back. Still battling anxiety but ill get there.
Long story short. I can confirm b vitamines almost cured my chronic fatigue i gues.
Update 2 months later: B vitamins+ magnesium 400/600 a day(i have gut health issues) and just exercise reduced my fatigue and anxiety a lot. Also dont forget knowledge
Try high dose inositol for the anxiety, that was the key for me. I had improved so much but was still having anxiety/OCD issues and was getting crippling, to the point I thought I'd need to find a therapist. I came across inositol (can't remember where) but it works wonderfully. Start slow and work your way up to 12-18 grams a day in divided doses. Get the powder, the pills would cost a fortune and you'd have to take fistfuls. It tastes really good too.
@@crazyratlady3438 how would you rank inositol in effectiveness? Im sure yiu tried other supplements like passionflower or magnesium
What kind of magnesium?
@@dmarie719 Take magnesium (bis)glycinate or citrate, 300-600mg a day. Also get up those levels of Vitamin D3, K2 and some zinc as well. Lastly, if you have symptoms like chronic fatigue then take lots of b1 and a b complex. Exact dosage depends on your age and lifestyle but you can be sure that they are much higher than the RDA. Thank me later
How are you now?
I spoke with Vish (in the comments) about 1 week ago after watching this video.
I had all the SAME symptoms and no answers for 3-4 years. I took B1 last week and have had new abundant energy!
At the same time, I met an American doctor where I'm living as an expat 2 days ago, and after telling her all my symptoms, she said one word, 'fibromyalgia'. My first ever diagnoses in this journey 🥺
I was told I'm too young from 15 doctors for diseases. As if disease is a respector of ages! The lack of education in the medical field is awful.
I'm very thankful to God and channel's like this. The funny thing is after this channel, I threw 'spaghetti to the wall' and took a concoction of B1 (100, then 200 mg), CoQ10, B complex, Reservatol and Glutathione, and multivitamin. After the doctor mentioned Fibro, I did a quick research and reservatrol is excellent for it, so it's all coming together full circle and I was already taking what's best for Fibro symptoms.
I really thought I was dying at 37 y.o. Family and friends wrote me off as a hypochondriac. I'm happy I didn't give up. I knew deep down I was deficient in something but could not figure out what even after aggressive RUclips and Google searches all these years. I just stumbled on this video that showed up in my algorithm and figured I've never considered B1 for chronic fatigue syndrome.
This video changed my health and life so far- thank you!
P.S Nobody mentions night terrors as a result of low B1. Was getting recurring ones night after night and I usually rarley dream. The anxiety also that impacts the nervous saystem, and sensitivity to light and sound... hearing everyone talk LOUDLY in the room. I REALLY suffered...but thankful things are turning around now! 🙏
Yes, Dr berg talks about this symptoms of b1 deficiency. He said he used to give his kids b1 when experiencing nightmares.
You have a unique ability to inspire and uplift others with your words and actions.
Thank you for spreading such joy and positivity!
For as a vegetarian who did not drink milk, but ate eggs. My B12 levels came back normal, but I was very symptomatic, many of the ones he mentioned. All my labs came back normal. As a health care provider i decided to dig more. Starting take B12 supplements, form the data i read, and it made a huge difference in my life.
May I ask what dosage of vitamin b12 and what brand are you taking?! Appreciate it !!!
I would love to know dosage and brand thanks. Congrats on getting help!
I have pernicious anemia and have b12 injections. The injections basically just keep you alive. I pay for extra injections. Drs are failing people left right and centre. Sometimes you have to treat yourself with the help of others
@@tracyclayton3840 do you go to a IV therapy type of place to get them? Or the actual doctor? Xo
@@brightwithspirit from the Dr's I don't have the intrinsic factor to produce b12 in my body. Or so I'm told......
Both of you are wonderful beings that I would love to have tea with. This really opened up my appreciation of how important B1 is, and it's ramifications. Way back in the late 1970's, I learned from my studies in Scientology how B1 is the 'mind' vitamin; we used to have to take it if we were having counselling sessions. Also, therefore, I took an extra B1 tablet for each beer or drink that I would have at the disco. I used to go disco dancing, and always replaced my B1 with each drink.

Can I ask you a serious question? I swear I'm not trying to be obnoxious. I had a brief stint into Scientology and I do know a lot about it. If someone is high up the bridge, maybe clear or OT level and they encounter someone who is pretty negative about Scientology. Why declare them a suppressive person and cut them off? Aren't people up on the bridge incredibly able to handle all kinds of situations and people? I mean, I'm in sales and I deal with negative people all the time and it's not a big deal. People are able to make their own decisions and I don't take anything personally. But just because a friend or family member disagrees with me, I'm not going to cut them off. I don't need to because I'm a mature person who knows how to deal with people. So Scientology is supposed to be able to enhance your abilities yet if someone doesn't agree with your point of view, you disconnect. I thought Scientologists have good communication skills and can deal with different situations? I guess not. You don't like me so I'll communicate. Meanwhile Scientology is destroying families all over the world and that's why it's a shrinking religion despite what Miscavage tells you. It just doesn't make any sense. Why would a Scientologist be so incapable of dealing with someone who disagrees with them? Doesn't that make them LESS capable to dealing with the world than non scientologists? How are you going to save the planet when you can't even deal with someone that doesn't agree with you? It totally makes NO sense if you think about it logically. Again, no offense. I'm curious to hear what you have to say.
@@scottallen8950 Jehovah's witnesses are the same way. If someone no longer believes any of their doctrine they are "disfellowshipped" and considered apostates and their family and friends can no longer associate with them.
@@scottallen8950Well you see, asking questions is a no no because they make you think
And this is religion? Not what Jesus would approve of.@@scottallen8950
The creator of Scientology Hubbard wrote a book with all kinds of amazing information about detoxing with sauna and niacin. God bless him. I did all the protocols and they were very helpful.
I was struck by symptoms, much like the person interviewed in this video, that started in 2014 after a misdiagnosed flu/lung infection, massive doses of antibiotics to fix the 'flu' and a dentist visit gone awry. I struggled for years with fibromyalgia, CFS, near comatose fatigue, severe GI issues, food sensitivities galore, cardiac arrhythmias (SVT), POTS, loosing excessive weight (from 148lbs to 92 and then a couple years later down to 89lbs for a 5'2" medium frame), crippling neuropathy, muscle spasms that turned my urine brown, poor blood sugar control, a diagnosis of dysautonomia and mast cell activation and so much more. After trying lots of therapies, vitamins and minerals, diets galore and years of scans and imaging later, I discovered B1, low oxalate diet and Dr. Lonsdale and Marrs's book. I started taking benfothiamine in jan of 2020 and have not looked back since. My symptoms started improving almost immediately and my energy started coming back. Two covid infections and my body went back to its original state of mayhem. I still continued with the B1 and in the last 6 months I tripled my dose of B1 with a corresponding increase in mag, potassium, zinc, vit d, selenium, molybdenum, very low dose copper sulfate, occasional b-complex and B2 etc. My energy is way better. My 2nd covid infection brought back a lot of my original symptoms like brain inflammation, poor word recall, occasional vertigo, sleep disturbances and this feeling of discomfort in my jaws (like they aren't aligned properly). So I still have a large amount of work to do but benfothiamine was very instrumental in helping my energy metabolism head in the direction of recovery. TTFD was a disaster with too many side effects. From being a swimmer and hiker, crashing to a point of hardly any movement, and now being able to walk and cook and care for my kiddo seems like progress in the right direction. I do think that I am one of those who genetically needed large amounts of b1 and other b vitamins. With dementia, lots of brain hemorrhages, fatal cardiovascular and GI issues, asthma etc in my family, energy metabolism is clearly a big concern.
Can you please tell us the dosages of the supplements you take? Especially the B1 amount. And do you take it daily without ever taking a break from it?
I was diangosed with Ulcerative Colitus, Fibromyalgia and skin issues. My specialist gave me a prescription for various drugs whxih my body responded to badly. My G.P. who was trained in South Africa suggested I try Curcumin ( the active compound of Tumeric). From the second day the symptoms grew less and less until after 7 days they were gone. No U.C. symptoms, no Fibromyalgia, and my skin has improved too. All from a naturally occurring product. 1 tablet each morning before breakfast.
Yes please how much B1 did you take? It is almost impossible to get answers to this question of how much.
@@wyattfamily8997 I tried before taking a curcumin supplement. How much did you take?
Did you ever get the refeeding syndrome? And what side effects were you getting from TTFD ?
God bless this guy and this channel, don't lose hope everyone who's struggling with similar symptoms!
This is my story -feeling so overwhelmed that I’m not the only one suffering .starting the B1 since we don’t get these doses in India .look fwd to sharing the story soon
Especially in India no ones even heard of fibromyalgia. And the quality of our supplements is third graded.
I thought the same thing, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. Speech was tricky for me, along with balance. I think I have really exceptional motor skills that masked some of this stuff. Hopefully I can do one of these videos someday, I'm on day 40 or so. Currently still with Magnesium Malate, Potassium Citrate, B Complex, and 300mg of TTFD, and Zinc in the evening, along with a multi in the morning and evening. My GI issues seem to be rectifying, but that has made recovery challenging. Man, I am STILL listening and it's crazy how many things Vish says that ring true, like "feeling like you're dying", I think that's a combo of the Tachycardia, nervous system shutdown, etc. EDIT: There is ONE thing though that I haven't seen anyone else report, and it's a very weird way I dealt with this for a long time. No GI movement? well, eat a lot and it will push the old food out. I seem to have an iron gut and no reflux through all of this, so I was able to do this when most others don't seem to go this route.
thank you for your trsramony. please what does ttfd stand for
Guys, it's worth a try! After a Corona-Infection I had massive digestive problems for more than a year and nothing helped; going low fodmap a bit. At some point I only ate carrots and potatoes if I didn't want to have symptoms....
Came across Elliots videos and gave B1 a chance.
After 1 pill everything stopped. I am still puzzled- not in my wildest dreams I had expected this. Thank you for your work!!!
@May May,Glad to hear that you're doing better. How much Vitamin B1 did you start taking? Do you take it everyday? Going thru long covid for 8 months😢😢

Vish I had h-pylori back in December 2015 after coming back from a trip from Disney world. They wanted me on a whole bunch of antibiotics and I took one and I have allergic reaction. so I looked up how to heal it naturally. they said to drink kefir yogurt so told my doctor I was going to try it she said go ahead but I don't think it will work. It worked. I drank a full bottle of kefir brand yogurt I did blueberry and I tried organic peach at that time. I mean it's a really big bottle. Drank 1 a day gulped it down then gulped the other half later in day. You can gett it at Walmart still in 2023 and within 10 days of drinking one full bottle she retested me and my h-pylori was gone no medicine. I needed this video because I suffer severely so much fatigued no help uncontrolled high blood pressure severe anxiety pain all over feel severely sick like the flu feel like I'm fighting fight-or-flight all day I am going to try B1.
Vish, I feel this on so many levels. Went through B vitamin deficiencies and had the same types of symptoms, including ataxia and severe tremors, muscle weakness. I was told I might have MS and then later was told it was in my head and that I'm just "crazy." I started taking methlylated B12 since it was on the low end of normal and started to feel a bit better but definitely wasn't starting to feel healed until I started taking a pretty high dose of other B vitamins, as well, after figuring out that I had symptoms aligning with beri beri. Glad you're feeling better.
How many months to take
I took methylated b12 for about a year, but I still take the B-vitamin and minerals a few times a week... I would go get your levels tested though, especially if high doses, because some vitamins can cause serious issues if the body has too much... For me, I can tell when I have B-deficiencies because I get canker sores and dry flakey corners of my lips along with numbness/nerve pain in my legs/arms@@aj9706
It depends upon how well you absorb it and how long you were deficient. It will take months to years@@aj9706
Oh this sounds exactly like what Ive been going through for the last 4 years.
Except I haven’t had the pain. But peripheral neuropathy, cognitive issues, crushing anxiety, everything I ate made me fatigued, gluten allergy? Dumpings syndrome?? Anemia? At one point I couldn’t drive my car more than 10 minutes without slumping behind the wheel, then I had to quit coffee cuz it gave me severe vertigo.
Tried to get a cfs diagnosis from the psychiatrist and walked out with an adhd diagnosis 🤷♂️
I recently developed really bad rls and still can’t sleep more than 3/4 hours a night. I too thought I had Parkinson’s or alzheimers, it was so scary particularly when I had a mortgage, no family support and a disabled son and sick wife totally reliant on me.
On top of that my first son god diagnosed with level 2/3 autism and my partner developed lupus and stage 1 cancer.
I tried b1, it helped for 1 day and then went back to normal. for me it’s been a combination of longevity supplements, primarily mitochondrial supplements, iron, lions mane and going to the gym once certain supplements, namely tmg, gave me back some of my energy, after I started at the gym things got better and better .
Although it’s still early days, maybe a week, I keep waiting for things to go back to how they were. Fingers crossed they don’t.
AVOID coffee and any caffeine as it will AGGRESSIVELY DRIVE all B vitamins OUT of your body very quickly!!
I relate so much to your experience with doctors. It is beyond frustrating.
Vish is so cute I really love his energy I’m so happy he found health❤
Omg that is so me!!!! I have all of these symptoms. I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. This was very very helpful information.
I have fibromyalgia and I would love to get my energy level up and get rid of the anxiety. I changed my diet(1st keto and now carnivore) reduced stress, took myself off all the meds the Drs put me on and the only thing that triggers the fibromyalgia pain is stress. I was diagnosed after a back injury. I do have chronic pain because of the pinched nerves but I've got the fibromyalgia pain under control. Still dealing with anxiety and low energy.
I’m crying- thank you!!!
I watched a video of yours regarding b vitamins, thiamine specifically I think after feeling extremely inflamed after a flu type illness that lasted only 1-2 days. I had a b vitamin complex sitting on a shelf and thought ‘what the heck.. it’s a vitamin supplement so it can’t do much worse then what I’m feeling now’. Turned out it was like a light switch turning back on! Felt amazing in less then 24 hours, no more inflammation after the illness and to add to the benefits, no more inflammation in general and I’m a carpenter of 17 years. Feel better then ever and I’ve used a general multi vitamin supplement on and off with very little effect. Thank you so very much for the videos, I might not of ever understood the importance of b vitamins for my body without stumbling across your videos and channel. I haven’t even used b1 alone yet but just the b vitamin complex it has made in incredible difference. Great to hear another success with this gentleman also 🙂
P.S. I shared many symptoms in this video but not quite to the same extent, all gone.. like ALL of them! Thanks again
First time seen this channel & lucky to see this patient’s testimony. Very timely.
Amen .... I work in construction . My tendons were hardening , I did a normal kick on a bucket lid and tore every muscle in my leg... My nerves and blood vessels instantly started improving after b1 and healing and sleep and eyes brighter and reversal of fatigue ..
Thanks for sharing your amazing story of perseverance and recovery!! 👏👏👏
It's amazing what people are capable of when the chips are down. Life is worth it, so we keep going. And with a bit of hope, wit, and a bit of luck, (and some wise guidance), we end up on the right path.
Pity he's not a Dr he'd make a great Dr because he's intelligent and doesn't give up
awesome!! Thanks for the subtitles! It really helps to read and listen at the same time his testimony!
Many years ago about 13 now, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and told there’s was nothing that could be done, I would just have to live with it. Fast forward 3 years ago a bunch of test were ran and now they say I have an autoimmune disease spondyloarthritis and have tried many medications and it’s exhausting. With all that said I’m still tired all the time have very low energy and constant chronic pain, migraines, plus spasms and cramps in my legs. They now have taken fibromyalgia off my chart as things I’ve been diagnosed with. Medications they’ve put me on do t seem to be working and I’ve changed my diet completely and have taken out many snack foods and fast foods. I’m at a loss this video was refreshing I hope to try the supplements and get better too. I don’t want to take medications the rest of my life. 🙏blessings
🎉 Congratulations 🎉 on your recovery ❤️🩹 success so far Vish. Thanks Elliot … so watchable as always; this one felt so light and delightful to watch but still went deep to be of real value eg the line of questioning about could anything else be responsible for the changes… etc. Simple and effective… ready for the next one! 🙌🙂
I've benefited from sulfur from B1, taurine, NAC, ALA. Don't forget about other essential minerals, vitamins, i found Copper to be one of the missing pieces of the puzzle, likely very low for many, exacerbated for me by history of medications and zinc supplementation. Along with carnivore my peripheral nerve symptoms and depression, fatigue, etc. have all improved dramatically, when years of conventional medical care failed to help. good luck out there
Could you please share which brand of copper are you taking and how much?! Appreciate it 🙏
@@moniryousefian8782 i've used a few brands, mostly "Trophic" as 2mg copper bisglycinate. AOR makes a zinc + copper formulation, although the ratio of zinc to copper may be too high to correct a copper deficiency effectively. too much at once can cause nausea and other detox symptoms, take with lots of water, start slow. The recommended maximum intake of copper is 10mg/day, there's reason to be skeptical of that number but you may wish to stay below that. I ramped up to 20mg per day and then ramped back down, I'm a fairly large guy and sweat a lot in sauna so my mineral needs may be higher. Cofactors include vitamin A, i take some cod liver oil and other minerals. the best food source is beef liver which I don't enjoy but that would probably naturally include the relevant cofactor nutrients. I was so so deficient that even 2 or 4 mg a day made a noticeable difference in mood and energy within a few days.
I would say he's gotten the treatment most women get which is to have our symptoms be completely dismissed. I had a hiatal hernia at 27 and had to convince doctors to do an upper endoscopy because they kept telling me it was just anxiety 😳
Also much respect to doing your own research and identifying what will help. There are risks to this, but the best thing you can do when you have a health condition is to learn as much as you can about it. Doctors have multiple times given me prescriptions for things that have either worsened my condition or given me new, worse ones. I have been able to overcome all my health issues and health anxiety, and a big part of this is relying on doctors as little as possible aside from formal testing
When they star giving you pills to take, you have to find out why. When you do, you realize that it will make you dependant on them and will NEVER solve your issue.
Just makes you DEPENDANT on them.
When you REALLY want to heal, you give your body WHAT IT NEEDS and it will do the rest.
Everyone not working WITH the body is working agaisnt it.
@@celuiquipeut6527 yes I agree completely. it's insane how superficial most treatments are from doctors. like giving me a PPI for my hiatal hernia, which just prevents my stomach from producing stomach acid, which will lead to so many other issues long term. I stopped taking that pretty much immediately when I understood what was involved.

I have recently been diagnosed with Fibro, i also suffer with arthritis throughout my spine. Few years ago whilst i was working, my health really hit the wall, after months of being on sick leave, i was told i had to see my employers medical advisor, Dr.... he diagnosed i was simply piss#@ off and tired!!. They tried to make out i was a liar. Ill health retired a few years later. This year after years of complaining of poor health, Rheumatologist consultant, diagnosed fibromyalgia. So i got the serious problems with spine and added fibro. My life for 8 years was one of wanting to end it, because noone in nhs or former employers dr made me feel i was lying!!! Thanks for this post.
Vish has described my life in the past few years. Just started CoQ10 and complex b vitamins and it really helps. Fatigue has lifted and pain reduced dramatically.
How come I never hear you talk about Niacin B3 and fibro? B1 did nothing for me but B3 Niacin helped massively.
Excellent Testimony for taking your health into your own hands! Vish did an amazing job of articulating his journey from start to finish! As a Registered Nurse in LA, he is a dream patient! I have most every symptom and attributed it to long covid. I will definitely be looking into B1!
What a lovely chap . I think alot of people turn away from medicine to the holistic routes due to lack of understanding of what is happening to the sufferers and its impact on quality of life .
Exactly. They have absolutely no idea of the total suffering and pain,like hell on earth for so many.
Thank you for an excellent interview packed full of information!
This guy so looks like my kids dentist 😆 if it wasn't because u rbin UK 😊, but your twin is in Las Vegas lol, your voice and expression, your smile, all your facial features wow
Thank you so much ! I have fibromyalgy since twenty years and many symptoms like this person. Everything after antibiotics...
This is exactly what i have now! Fatigue, muscle pains, digestive, memory. But with me it all started with covid in 2020 despite nothing serious. I took every type of supplement except B1
Don't forget to pay attention to your cortisol status.
@@gnosisdespirit Can you elaborate or give a link that can ? i also have heavy fatigue for nearly 1 year now i had chronic Fatigue and insomnia but after a heavy herpes outbreak,in the last year i can hardly get out of bed before noon and feel sleepy most of the time of the day and night.
@@Realmasterorder
I wonder if BHT could also help you. It’s a preservative, but you can buy it as a supplement, and it kills fat-encased viruses like Herpes. *See below warnings/follow-up responses also.*
Me too! After Covid

This is my story almost word for word. I had no clue about the B1 vitamin so I can assure you I will be heading to the store ASAP and picking up some B1. I am a 70 year young widow and was diagnosed with FMS/CFS 30 years ago. I have taken ever kind of meds vitamins etc known to man...almost. The B1 though, is a new one so I will be grabbing some later today. Thank you both so very much for this info.
There is a synthetic Thiamin you will want to add to your vitamin regimen. Thiamin (B1) is water soluable and can be absorbed into nerve tissue. Benfotiamine, synthetic Thiamine is fat soluable it goes into tge sheath around nerve tissue which is fatty tissue so the Benfotiamine absorbs into this layer where it changes to Thiamine and is 20x more absorbable into the nerve tissue. This gentleman has a video about Benfotiamine. Thanks to B1 and Benfotiamine, I no longer get kept up all night with feeling like a red hot rod is being stuck into my feet! I have been able to stop needing gabapentin for neuropathy pain! But, don't just take my word for it! Please, look up Benfotiamine for yourself. I do not ask anyone to trust a stranger just because they say it worked. It is always good practice to research and verify! Best wishes in your recovery!
Very inspiring story. Gives me hope. This condition has ruined my life for the last 40 years but I'm not giving up yet. He's a lucky young man to have recovered while he's still young and can look forward to a long healthy life. Interesting that both our cases were triggered by pharma drugs, in my case, lorazapan. I'm sure the pharma drug dealers kill and maim more people than they help.
How do you know it was caused by lorazepam?? Thanks for replying.
@@erinloo8921 Before lorazepam I was an athlete playing various sports several hours at a time. After, I could barely walk up stairs.
@@GeorgeStar I hv taken a lot of it. My brain is rotting hv had Chronic Fatigue syndrome for 5 or 6 years. It is no life. One thing which has really helped this year is getting into Stoicism with Ryan Holiday on You tube. It is really changing my life There is a vid on yt of Ryan interviewing a usa actor who overcame alcohol through Stoicism. Also excellent are Florence Shovell Shins affirmation s and meditation s. Especially ine re health. Also on yt.this amazing woman self published her own books in 1925. Much better than similar modern content all the best to you.
Same here! 34 yrs.! God bless you
Omg, I have been suffering from all this for many years! It’s been at least twenty five and slowly got worse even though I was fighting with everything I had. I researched vitamins and supplements, I spent a fortune on any hope I could find. But nothing helped. I’m now at a point where my life is not worth living. I can’t get off the couch. It’s where I sleep and stay. Getting up to go to appointments, etc., is hell. I need days to psych myself into doing it. I sweat profusely, and I feel like I’m so heavy. It makes it hard to function. This is again, a small hope. Though I’ve pretty much given up on all the “hope” because it’s always let me down. I’m so tired and fatigued that I don’t have much fight left in me to try to overcome this anymore. I’m only 55 but I’m imprisoned in my own body. And talk about the brain fog!!! It’s awful! I can’t get words to come to mind, even when their words I use regularly. I used to have a high (I’m having trouble thinking of the term even as we speak) … vocabulary and was extremely scientific minded. I’m so totally frustrated now because I can see how much my mental capacity has declined and can’t seem to do anything to improve it. It’s like I’m withering away. It’s definitely making me depressed, how couldn’t it?
So where do I start? The three things you mentioned here in this video? I took screenshots of several parts so I could have the info since I know I’d never remember.
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!! 😞
My symptoms sound exactly like yours, for 17 years, basically been bed ridden, 😢😢😢😢I hope you get fully cured ameen
My symptoms after my (mandated) 2nd C jab gave me those exact symptoms. Trying to work while suffering from ridiculous exhaustion, dizziness and loss of balance, memory problems, unable to find a word in my brain until a day or week later... Black outs of a memory until a week later ... Making up new words. ... Free speech was "freech." Blood clot is "blot." I asked if there was any hand sanitizer on the med cart the other day and I said "sand hanitizer." By the time 4 pm comes around I am spent. Brain shuts down, body is done. I have to sit in my car for 10 minutes before I can even drive.
Don’t worry. Take the bentothiamine.
Also read the book “detox or die”. Consider going to a naturopath to do a heavy metal test. If mercury is high, you may consider the Hubbard sauna / niacin detox protocol or Dr Andy Cutler low dose dmsa protocol to get it out.
ohmy what a very bad decision. @@donnazukadley7300
Don't forget b12, all those symptoms could be low b12 too. The threshold for normal in the UK is too low. Ask for your numbers, it needs to be above 500 to be optimal
Totally agree - all the B’s are vital in their own way, but collectively they are a powerhouse. B1 is a fundamental part of that stack 🙏🏽
Thank you to both of you. The guy is really funny. Cool guy. All the best.
All his symptoms sounds familiar. the drs thinking I’m crazy is accurate. Even taking vit b1 increased my symptoms but made me look so much better in my face. But I had to stop. So I will try again with other supplements. It’s so scary, and lonely.
2003 I developed chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, pain in my neck and shoulder pain etc., tried so many different treatments, diet etc., etc. , red light infra red, 8:35 keto helped as did, carnivore, fasting
also, I was so sensitive to carbohydrates and craved sugar! Anyway I started listening to my son who suggested B1 & istening to Elliot and I finally started B1, B complex, transdermal magnesium,
and a few other supplements and
after 3 1/2 weeks feel so much better, pain all over has subsided a lot, I still have a way to go however I must say that what I noticed almost immediately was my SUGAR CRAVINGS went away, that is anonymous for me..
Thats amazing!!
Did you take normal B1 or Benfotiamine?
Benfotiamine is sooo incredibly expensive!
@Miss Moose Go with Benfotiamine, that's probably one of the best options
@@Mortthemoose I haven't found benfotiamine so expensive. Maybe it's the brand, but I use Doctors Best brand of Benfotiamine 150mg gel caps for $15 for 120 caps.
What dosages are you taking with the B1, B complex and Magnesium?
Thank you so much! You gave me a hope! I live in my bed, suffering from fribromyalgia, chronic fatique syndrome and much, much more. I just bought these vitamine! Thank you!
Let us know how it goes. I temporarily cured a fatigue problem of my own using copper, but sadly only lasted maybe two weeks. On a thiamine journey now, but believe I need to increase the dose as no effect yet.
How did it go ?
Omg I can not tell you how happy I am that you made this video. I’ve had fibro for many years. I had all the same scenarios of d symptoms and conversations with so many doctors. Over the years I had finally narrowed it down to cellular metabolic level (because it’s fend for yourself with fibro) I have been working to come to an answer to what any why this happens. I contacted the Mayo Clinic and said I believed I needed to speak with someone who specialized in cellular metabolism and deficiencies on the cellular level and the transferred me to genetics who helped 0. My symptoms have gotten so much worse than ever so I am going to try this protocol from this video. It’s just nice to see and hear someone who went through the same frustrations and has figured it out. Thank you.
I recently listened to a doctor on YT I wanted to have a reference to consult with my doc. I don't recall all of it but he said it is at least in part due to mitochondrial dysfunction and it starts in the gut. I had listened to various doctors on YT but nothing they said resonated with me. I also listened to Mayo docs but I saw no help there it seemed they had more of a band-aid approach like the others who said fibro is 'manageable...I thought ah yeah. Have had it many years like you do I hope this bit of info will help you.
I understand how he felt, I feel the same all the time for 34 years now
