Very informative and you will not hear a Dr tell you this. Only in cases of alcoholism and severe malabsorption. But my mom who recently died of " Alzheimer's" exhibited many of these symptoms for years ,even being hospitalized for psychiatric disorder. And now , me and my sibling have had all sorts of these other symptoms I figured out awhile back diet and digestion was probably causing all these symptoms. I lost a younger sister in her 50s. I was in in very poor health and retired earlier than planned but have focused on this very thing and am now doing much better. Only help received from medical Dr was treating symptoms not causes.
happy you're getting better. I think it's the same story all over the world, I've been dealing with issues caused by malabsorption for decades, doctors never even realized it was that, they just prescribed pills to treat every symptom. The first pill that ever really helped me was iron, solved many of the symptoms for which I had been prescribed at least 10 different drugs. and correcting my diet has taken care of something like 80% of my problems. It's so sad that I can't regain all those lost decades ruined by my health problems, but I can make everything possible to live my remaining years to the fullest. I wish you and your sibling find a way to correct your symptoms and that you keep on healing.

I didn't know what it was when it happened to her, but when it happened to me, someone helped me figure it out. She lost weight until she was below a hundred pounds.

Numb lips? That did not happen in my hands and feet, but what did happen was that I felt like I was terrified. And I mean I felt physically like I was terrified, but emotionally I was not. It was entirely physical. And the smallest sound could make me literally jump right out of my skin.
I had some of the symptoms but not all. Just take a vitamin b complex and you’ll know fairly quick. Just find you some brewers yeast. I’m currently looking for a safe source to purchase. Right now I’m taking a synthetic form. Also chlorophyll is good.
I started having seizures in my 50s but dr diagnosed as epilepsy I was drinking that red wine 🍷 almost every day and not really taking any vitamins this is the first time I’ve had to take a pill on a regular basis so I’m going to try that B1 and D3 on a regular to see if God will take me off the medication been to the hospital so much that the nurse knows me 😢😢
@@Mohib-up6yh I wasn’t taking magnesium I bought some candida support and was taking a lot of probiotics I bought some probiotics and acidophilus mixed together and for some reason they had my body on fire not sure if I was supposed to feel like that I stopped taking them
I wonder if some or most people who have this deficiency have it because of a digestive disorder like SIBO? It can cause nutrient malabsorption and lead to other diseases like fibromyalgia. I was having tummy issues and was diagnosed by a naturopath with SIBO, and subsequently followed a special diet to help alleviate symptoms. I did have the tingling and numbness in my legs and feet. Now I recall I had the vertigo too and dizziness. I thought it was due to high blood pressure but I suppose it could have been influenced by both. There is a concomitant issue called Gastrocardiac Syndrome.
No in fact it’s the other way around. People can get SIBO and digestive disorders usually because of a b1 deficiency. B1 is needed for the vagus nerve and autonomic nervous system and also for secretion of bile salts and acid. When there is poor gut motility and function due to b1 deficiency, SIBO can easily occur.
I think it's more widespread than people recognize. I always have more energy after taking B1, and I also know someone who was getting cramps in his legs that cleared up after taking B1. I think deficiency is pretty common!
As does alcohol. The NHS give low doses to alcoholics for that reason. I'm diabetic and have been taking 100 mg of B1 for 10 years. I also take bilberry extract which was proven to help repair micro blood vessels in the eyes. I've not needed further laser surgery since I started taking these supplements
@@trish2687 In my case replenishing this nutrient greatly helped to reduce my aches, pains, brain fog, etc. of fibromyalgia. I felt like I was 100+ years old. Taking B1 helped me feel like a human being again. I still have symptoms, but I can function.
I'm B1 deficient I'm taking benfothiamine 300mg twice a day with b1 200mg twice a day and a b complex once a day, plus nutritional yeast,in the evenly i take a magnesium Glycinate 400mg once a day with d3 10000iu once a day with mk k2 and fish oil from omega 3 once a day, am i taking these vitamins right? Should i add other vitamins to what I'm taking already?
I'm 66 and have M.S. I stopped taking my Copaxone injections after over 20 years of taking them. Thus far I have noticed some improvements in energy. My feet are also less numb. I began adding B1 to my supplement intake daily. It's early yet, but I do expect to regain more feeling in my feet and just above my ankles. I think there has been a slight improvement after just 1 week. How much should I be taking Dr. Berg?

Thank goodness you’re here! I had just finished watching a video on this, with specific regard to gastrointestinal symptoms, and was wondering if I should look into it further. The creator of that video is apparently a one-note singer, since about five more of his videos have popped up. Just quackery in my opinion. I was going to just carry on without further enquiry, but your video also came up, and now I have a decent science-based reason to look a little further. The real question should probably be “how does google, and RUclips, know what I need to know?” The last time they did this, they were right, and I was EXCEEDINGLY vitamin D deficient. That really was woo woo, this is just the algorithm. 🇨🇦💕
And yes, I had those memory problems. It's like you become vacant, not home. And I was retired early from the UN as disabled because I could barely remember my name. I so wish I had figured out what was going on before I had to lose my job because I was so stupid. And I did not lose my income all together, it was just reduced because I had to retire before I had worked for 20 years.
I had a bit of a wake up call about how important thiamine is... I had a stint in hospital due to alcohol withdrawal (don't judge, not proud) but leading up to that I had so many cramps in my hands and feet including tingling and what felt like nerve pain. I thought I was just overexerting myself at work but the doctor told me those are signs of extreme B1/thiamine deficiency.
I'm not diabetic but I have thiamine deficiency, but every time I take either thiamine hcl or benfotiamine my heart gets really weird and I start to have shortness of breath. Why does this occur? They say it is necessary to add magnesium but my SIBO gets worse even using topical magnesium.

@@karine8738 I normally use benfotiamine. Benfotiamine is a fat soluble form of b1 and it’s absorbed better in the body than HCL. The downside of benfotiamine and HCL is that it doesn’t cross the blood brain barrier but TTFD does. TTFD is expensive and it’s difficult to find a good brand. The only brand that users recommended was “thiamax.” Too expensive and the shipping is long.
@@tyrese5089 That is why i ask :) I bought TTFD from cardio research. It is so expensive :) when I take it, it hit me... I am cutting it. But still hard after a week, but sleep well withh it. The problem is it is expensive and take long to arrive yes because I am from Canada. So I thought that Benfotiamine or HCL will be good, that is why I ask :) Now back to square one. Did you try both of 3 and prefer one of these ? Thanks to you !
@@karine8738 understandable. Yes I tried all version and preferred benfotiamine. Benfotiamine increase thiamine levels super quickly so I don’t take it everyday. But my energy level is superbly better. I’ll most definitely take the benfotiamine over HCL. It may take trial and errors with different forms of B1 before you find the right one.
@@karenyoung5786 well that's the best because if you get a B12 deficiency badly enough it's irreversible. But unfortunately we don't all have doctors that will give us B12 shots so I was giving the next best thing which is to take it sublingually it will go into your bloodstream right away and it won't have to interfere with the fact that you don't have enough hydrochloric acid in your stomach to break it down and also one form of it I forget it sounds like cyanide I believe anyone it's not the good form I think the one that begins with an m is a good form I'd have to look it up.

This was my kryptonite. And probably everyone else's who takes large doses beyond rda, leaching phosphate from the blood. Very good to have figured this out though, may have never otherwise done so because the 100-300mg doses are too perniciously slow to notice anything. I'm also back on vid d now that my calcium problems had different root causes.
@@ggexp6128 yes. You can overdo some vitamins, and it will probably lead to oxidative stress. I don't see a reason why huge doses of b1 would be needed. It doesn't make physiologic sense. The only time vitamin megadoses are appropriate is when the RDA is unreasonably minimal (vitamin D, when in the sun you produce much more), or when absorption is a problem (vitamin B12). To say it's kryptonite was a bit exaggerated as for me apparently quite a few things can throw me off, and I sort of need minimal oxidative stress and the right nutrients for my body to go into anabolic mode.
Well it is still kryptonite for me. I feel like run over at 100mg. It's not lack of phosphorus so I don't know what it's doing to me. Some rat study says thiamine deficiency prevents magnesium depletion, so maybe I'd have to double down on magnesium. That being said, I do take magnesium so I don't appreciate the thiamine using up he magnesium, which seems to be another way to interpret this. Ok after a basic calc I'm calling bs on the current regime of supplements providing 100mg which is about 100x rda. From normal food, you usually get about 1x rda thiamine. Magnesium tends to be lower, esp on a meat heavy diet. So a natural ratio would be 5:1. You could say that's the 'natural' low magnesium state. Now you make that 500:1 with a thiamine supplement, since it's impossible to balance that out with magnesium (30g?). Active thiamine uses magnesium enzymes. Good to know my multivit also has high levels of thiamine, 40mg in the smaller portions I take. I've noticed a bit of an issue with it. So either have to up my mag dose with it and see or new multivit
That's a therapeutic dose size. For fixing a deficiency someone might be on that for 7 days and then be done (with 3-5mg per day from a multi after that.) If you're taking it therapeutically (ie for very specific conditions where it helps manage the symptoms that are not based on a deficiency), on the other hand, you risk messing up your body due to compensation elsewhere unless you have a competent medical professional helping you cover your bases.

If it makes you pee alot. Alcohol and processed sugars are worse.

If you are an alcoholic, please take B1 and potassium. Also reduce your intake. It helps to monitor how much you consume.
Or, stop effing drinking and you won’t need the supplements or the doctors.

For every drink maybe we should take a lot of B complex with extra B1 like Benfothiamine ? Alcohol is bad !
Numb lips? That did not happen in my hands and feet, but what did happen was that I felt like I was terrified. And I mean I felt physically like I was terrified, but emotionally I was not. It was entirely physical. And the smallest sound could make me literally jump right out of my skin.
I had some of the symptoms but not all. Just take a vitamin b complex and you’ll know fairly quick. Just find you some brewers yeast. I’m currently looking for a safe source to purchase. Right now I’m taking a synthetic form. Also chlorophyll is good.
Very well explained. Great video
Don't precursor symptoms include itching? First underarms, then extending to torso? Then head psoriasis? All completely cured with B1 supplements.

How much magnesium u take along with vitamin d and b1?
@@Mohib-up6yh I wasn’t taking magnesium I bought some candida support and was taking a lot of probiotics I bought some probiotics and acidophilus mixed together and for some reason they had my body on fire not sure if I was supposed to feel like that I stopped taking them
I wonder if some or most people who have this deficiency have it because of a digestive disorder like SIBO? It can cause nutrient malabsorption and lead to other diseases like fibromyalgia. I was having tummy issues and was diagnosed by a naturopath with SIBO, and subsequently followed a special diet to help alleviate symptoms. I did have the tingling and numbness in my legs and feet. Now I recall I had the vertigo too and dizziness. I thought it was due to high blood pressure but I suppose it could have been influenced by both. There is a concomitant issue called Gastrocardiac Syndrome.
No in fact it’s the other way around. People can get SIBO and digestive disorders usually because of a b1 deficiency. B1 is needed for the vagus nerve and autonomic nervous system and also for secretion of bile salts and acid. When there is poor gut motility and function due to b1 deficiency, SIBO can easily occur.
I agree with the above comment.
Smirnoff Leeds to Korsakoff Syndrome.🍸
Very well explained (BBSR,India)
I think it's more widespread than people recognize. I always have more energy after taking B1, and I also know someone who was getting cramps in his legs that cleared up after taking B1. I think deficiency is pretty common!
Keep in mind that tannins deplete.this nutrient. Do you drink sweet tea with almost every meal? Do you suffer from fibromyalgia?
As does alcohol. The NHS give low doses to alcoholics for that reason.
I'm diabetic and have been taking 100 mg of B1 for 10 years.
I also take bilberry extract which was proven to help repair micro blood vessels in the eyes.
I've not needed further laser surgery since I started taking these supplements
Really 😊?
What happens if u suffer from fibromyalgia???
@@trish2687 In my case replenishing this nutrient greatly helped to reduce my aches, pains, brain fog, etc. of fibromyalgia. I felt like I was 100+ years old. Taking B1 helped me feel like a human being again. I still have symptoms, but I can function.
@@ivyhernandez2526 I have fibromyalgia, didn't know this. How much and how long did u take it, and which type?
Benfotiamine is a great help.

I'm B1 deficient I'm taking benfothiamine 300mg twice a day with b1 200mg twice a day and a b complex once a day, plus nutritional yeast,in the evenly i take a magnesium Glycinate 400mg once a day with d3 10000iu once a day with mk k2 and fish oil from omega 3 once a day, am i taking these vitamins right? Should i add other vitamins to what I'm taking already?
I'm 66 and have M.S. I stopped taking my Copaxone injections after over 20 years of taking them. Thus far I have noticed some improvements in energy. My feet are also less numb. I began adding B1 to my supplement intake daily. It's early yet, but I do expect to regain more feeling in my feet and just above my ankles. I think there has been a slight improvement after just 1 week.
How much should I be taking Dr. Berg?
Look up mega dose of B1 make sure it's water soluble. RUclips have alot of videos
I only wanted to give it a try🥰 thought herpes don't have cure but now I'm 100% herpes free.🥰 thanks to my dr, here is his RUclips channel (DR EFE Jude herbal home)

EXCELLENT INFROMATION ! THANKS !!1 FROM U.K.(2021).
Thank goodness you’re here! I had just finished watching a video on this, with specific regard to gastrointestinal symptoms, and was wondering if I should look into it further. The creator of that video is apparently a one-note singer, since about five more of his videos have popped up. Just quackery in my opinion. I was going to just carry on without further enquiry, but your video also came up, and now I have a decent science-based reason to look a little further. The real question should probably be “how does google, and RUclips, know what I need to know?” The last time they did this, they were right, and I was EXCEEDINGLY vitamin D deficient. That really was woo woo, this is just the algorithm. 🇨🇦💕
Hi great vid!
whats the dosage for the benfotiamine & TPP forms, ... 100 mg for those too ?

I had a bit of a wake up call about how important thiamine is... I had a stint in hospital due to alcohol withdrawal (don't judge, not proud) but leading up to that I had so many cramps in my hands and feet including tingling and what felt like nerve pain. I thought I was just overexerting myself at work but the doctor told me those are signs of extreme B1/thiamine deficiency.
Very intelligent Dr very well detailed do you have an Office in NYC
I'm not diabetic but I have thiamine deficiency, but every time I take either thiamine hcl or benfotiamine my heart gets really weird and I start to have shortness of breath. Why does this occur? They say it is necessary to add magnesium but my SIBO gets worse even using topical magnesium.

@@tyrese5089 Which one you preferer Benfothiamine, HCL or TTFD ?
@@karine8738 I normally use benfotiamine. Benfotiamine is a fat soluble form of b1 and it’s absorbed better in the body than HCL. The downside of benfotiamine and HCL is that it doesn’t cross the blood brain barrier but TTFD does.
TTFD is expensive and it’s difficult to find a good brand. The only brand that users recommended was “thiamax.” Too expensive and the shipping is long.
@@tyrese5089 That is why i ask :) I bought TTFD from cardio research. It is so expensive :) when I take it, it hit me... I am cutting it. But still hard after a week, but sleep well withh it.
The problem is it is expensive and take long to arrive yes because I am from Canada. So I thought that Benfotiamine or HCL will be good, that is why I ask :) Now back to square one. Did you try both of 3 and prefer one of these ? Thanks to you !
@@karine8738 understandable. Yes I tried all version and preferred benfotiamine. Benfotiamine increase thiamine levels super quickly so I don’t take it everyday. But my energy level is superbly better. I’ll most definitely take the benfotiamine over HCL.
It may take trial and errors with different forms of B1 before you find the right one.

Why do some expert web pages say there is no thiamine in chicken? I am confused
Farm and factory birds are the variant
This was my kryptonite.
And probably everyone else's who takes large doses beyond rda, leaching phosphate from the blood. Very good to have figured this out though, may have never otherwise done so because the 100-300mg doses are too perniciously slow to notice anything. I'm also back on vid d now that my calcium problems had different root causes.
What do you mean? You have excess b1 ?
@@ggexp6128 yes. You can overdo some vitamins, and it will probably lead to oxidative stress. I don't see a reason why huge doses of b1 would be needed. It doesn't make physiologic sense. The only time vitamin megadoses are appropriate is when the RDA is unreasonably minimal (vitamin D, when in the sun you produce much more), or when absorption is a problem (vitamin B12).
To say it's kryptonite was a bit exaggerated as for me apparently quite a few things can throw me off, and I sort of need minimal oxidative stress and the right nutrients for my body to go into anabolic mode.
Probably a lack of magnesium or b2, thiamine HCl in doses ranging from 100 to 500mg are very safe. Megadosage actually helps Parkinson for a exemple
Poor insight is one of the symptoms of deficiency I suppose 9:49.
It says irreversible but I'll let you know
Well it is still kryptonite for me. I feel like run over at 100mg. It's not lack of phosphorus so I don't know what it's doing to me.
Some rat study says thiamine deficiency prevents magnesium depletion, so maybe I'd have to double down on magnesium.
That being said, I do take magnesium so I don't appreciate the thiamine using up he magnesium, which seems to be another way to interpret this.
Ok after a basic calc I'm calling bs on the current regime of supplements providing 100mg which is about 100x rda. From normal food, you usually get about 1x rda thiamine. Magnesium tends to be lower, esp on a meat heavy diet. So a natural ratio would be 5:1. You could say that's the 'natural' low magnesium state. Now you make that 500:1 with a thiamine supplement, since it's impossible to balance that out with magnesium (30g?). Active thiamine uses magnesium enzymes.
Good to know my multivit also has high levels of thiamine, 40mg in the smaller portions I take. I've noticed a bit of an issue with it. So either have to up my mag dose with it and see or new multivit
interesting!!
💚 ThankS 💚
So we should take vitamin. B12 and vitamin 1 also ?
@Gretchen K. Look up MTHFR - your body may not be able to break down the B vitamins. Look for the proper forms of it.
is 300mg a good daily dose amount ?
That's a therapeutic dose size. For fixing a deficiency someone might be on that for 7 days and then be done (with 3-5mg per day from a multi after that.) If you're taking it therapeutically (ie for very specific conditions where it helps manage the symptoms that are not based on a deficiency), on the other hand, you risk messing up your body due to compensation elsewhere unless you have a competent medical professional helping you cover your bases.
