You did not say how much you took or what brand or for how long. My partner has taken 3000 mg Solar B1 for about 2 months with great results! Before the B1 I had to help him get out of a chair, and get dressed. Now he does these things in his own. His muscle weakness has subsided and he is able to lift heavy items again. Huge improvement!

This must be verified but 300 to 1000 mg thiamine is a mega dose I think but TTFD is so efficient that you don't need very much like maybe 100 mg. However, I just use Benfotamine. I divide a 150 mg into 4 parts which is about 40 mg at a time and take at various times during the day. My first dose is with 100 ml of potassium and 400 ml magnesium and B - complex but the rest of the day is just the 40 ml of thiamine.

​@@williamdowda4265I was going to mention this too. There's a great podcast interview with Dr. Constantini from Italy. He has since passed away, but his research can be found on pubmed. He was getting great results from what he said.

I started B1 because Dr. Berg on KZread said it would work for bladder leakage. 5 days later no noticeable difference EXCEPT my fingers on left had( skin tissue only, no bone) were cut so bad and just hanging on. They were sewn back which worked but left my fingertips numb and I notice they were no longer numb. Thats the only change , B1. SO my husband had a stroke 2 years ago and showed signs of Bradykinese therefore I gave him 125 mg am and pm. After about 5 days he's up, talking, steadier on his feet, walking longer and faster. I havent shared with Dr yet but will. The recommended dose is 1500 mg but this smaller dose is helping . Im thinking 600mg twice a day but want dr approval first, and by thexway after aboutc10 days my bladder leakage is essentially gone. Thank God for his mercy and health providers who share their knowledge.

Hi Margaret glad to hear the vitamin B1 therapy is helping your husband so happy to hear that. Hopefully there is something out there that helps you as well thanks for sharing 🎉😃

I have had tremendous success with methylene blue, but I dont ingest it. I couldnt get high doses of B1 into me because it greatly exaggerated the pain and spasms. I started mixing the blue into lotion that I pour into a jelly jar. Just 3-4 drops. I then rub some onto the soles of my feet every night. The pain and spasms immediately stopped with the first application. After a few weeks of this, I reintroduced the B1 and was immediately able to implement high doses which has me feeling really good. Sometimes pain will appear with a B1 dose so I'll just rub on some blue lotion and the pain subsides. Hope this info helps someone else, too. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Depends on the form. TTFD is the most bioavailable form for neurological conditions- it crosses the blood brain barrier... and up to 2 grams a day are useful for these types of conditions, but generally, less TTFD is needed. You have to titrate up and may experience paradoxical reactions, especially without adding magnesium and a b-complex. EOnutrition on youtube is a fantastic resource.

Bless you for putting yourself out there for all to see. It helps others know they aren't alone. I agree with you. We are individuals with our own chemistry makeup. What works on one may not work on another. That being said, have you tried Methylene Blue? It works in the neurological system. There are several ways to do dosing, so research it a bit first. You should also take a break from using it, whether it be 3 weeks on 1 week off or 5 days on 2 days off. It's up to your body chemistry. It does not turn your skin blue, but be prepared for your urine to go from shades of yellow to blue or green depending on the shade of yellow your urine usually is. Lastly, look into diet. Specifically the Terry Wahls Protocol. Her diet is amazing at helping so many different incurable diseases. She has MS and went from a tilt-recline wheelchair to riding her bike 28 miles in 1 years time. She has lots of testimonials in her book. One lady even came out of Alzheimers on her diet. She went from not knowing her husband to knowing him, driving her car again and going back to work. Her diet also arrested my husband's Dementia. Amazing.

Braineducationtv is a good channel for the brain. She shows what you can do to increase heat around the naval area. If it's warmer than the forehead, it's a good sign for tinnitus easing but it may take a few sessions to get it to start working. So I thought of an easier way than the exercises she gave for this would be just to apply far-infrared heat to the naval area. It helps the vagus nerve which is related to B1. I just started this so we'll see....I have confidence that it may also help dry eyes which is also related to the vagus nerve and B1.

​@@LifewithParkinsonsThe body cannot utilize B1 if it is magnesium deficient! Have you tried magnesium baths plus magnesium supplements, especially Magnesium Threonate, which crosses the blood brain barrier? Magnesium HCL is pretty well useless - Benfothiamine is better. TTFD better still. See videos on it by Elliot Overton, EONutrition here on YT on the correct way to take it.

I just came across your channel about half an hour ago. I've been experimenting with high dose B1 for several months and like you I haven't noticed any improvement in my symptoms. More recently I have added glutathione, taurine and Co-enzyme Q10 in the hope that one order all of them would give me more energy and fight my extreme exhaustion. So far no measurable change and and just today I decided to stop all my supplements for a couple of weeks. When my system is clear of everything I'll start phasing them in again and reassess the situation. My view is that I'm happy to give anything a try so long as it doesn't interfere with my medication.

Hi David, I’m Pat and my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s over 23 years ago now. He takes his regular medicine, but he is really suffering most days and doesn’t really get up out the chair but maybe once a day. So I have been doing research for supplements and at home treatments for Parkinson’s for years now and I finally I have talk to my dad in two taking a few vitamins with little or no side effects, lol the reason why I’m messaging is I two did my research on the B1 in high doses, so what I found is that you want to stay away from the hcl version… it does not absorb very well, go with the sublingual b1 at about 200 mg per day to start and benfotiamine 300mg to start. The benfotiamine is a synthetic version of B1, which is much easier on your stomach and absorbs better in the body and more importantly can pass the blood brain barrier. And I also got him a supplement called MAGXIMUM, produced by trio nutrition, its magnesium, K2, D3, and mct oil, i love it and i found it all on Amizon for a pretty good price because i have them coming every other month on automatic…. So i finally got my father to let me help, i hope we see and feel some improvements over the next few months. Thanks for the videos, take care of yourself.

Heart dr tried to force vax on me last year , threw the fear at me in Cardiac icu and said I would die if I got c19 without vax ( and that was while in his care in hospital ) , gave me no faith in him at that point . Plus he wants to look for blockage with surgery after nuclear stress test and doesn't know where blockage is ( no thanks ) last heart dr told me that all was good and 6 months later heart not good . This 2nd neurologist seems overwhelmed . Took my GF to help with knowledge of symptoms , he cut her off and me off from talking so I just let him do his thing . Must have looked at his watch 20 times in 15 mins . I feel exhausted from trying to know what's going on . Was like that for Fibromyalgia diagnosis , took years and some drs don't even discuss it or my chosen treatment . Yeah I just don't get it . I have done every test they have thrown at me And that's not even all of them . Thanks for prayers , desperate to find some help and move to next page in this chapter of my life . On a positive note , watched 2 videos this morning ( 2weeks old ) , out of Australia that are claiming they are close to slowing / stopping progression of PD . Using proteins I believe

I just ran across your video when looking for info on B1 therapy. Have you tried cutting out dairy? There is some evidence linking dairy consumption to Parkinson's. People with Parkinson's tend to have high levels of casomorphins which are metabolized from milk protein. I'm not saying that cutting out dairy will cure you, but it might be worth trying for a few weeks to see if there is any symptomatic improvement. Edit: The casomorphins are linked to scizophrenia. Rather the suspected link with Parkinson's -- besides pesticides -- is from galactose metabolized from lactose.

My 58-year-old brother had a draining dental abscess for over two years, and avoided going to the dentist because he's one of those people who gets anxiety even at just the thought of dental surgery. He started to get Parkinson's symptoms that rapidly got progressively worse (He seemed to have acquired Pure Autonomic Failure Syndrome). After he got the offending back tooth removed and got a deep dental cleaning, the Parkinson's symptoms quickly disappeared. I honestly think that all neurological diseases are the result of long-standing local infections that haven't been diagnosed and killed off yet. That is to say, I believe what your customer says is true...that Parkinson's is just a manifestation of INFLAMMATION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM - which, of course, includes the brain.

I have questions. Are there different types of Parkinsons? My husband is 84 and was diagnosed 2 years ago with Parkinson, He got it with dementia at the same time. It was after lockdown. We used to go to the gym 6 days a week. When we stopped that is when it seemed to have happened. We are retired in the Philippines in a very rural area. We have always still stayed several months in the States and would get most of our medical done there. When he was diagnosed we were going back to the Philippines, the Dr. gave him Carbidopa / Levodopa 25-100, he said I would know right away if it helped. I gave it to him a few days and did not notice any difference. When we went back this year I told the Dr and he asked us to try it again for a longer time but this time he walked a little faster (all of my husbands movements are extremely slow) but he became psychotic and angry. He was trying to walk back to the Philippines, I could not reason with him that we came on a plane. I called the Dr. and took him off the medication. We are back in the Philippines and he is doing well, other than he moves very slow. That is why I asked if there are different types of Parkinsons? Some have lots of movements, but not my husband he hardly moves. He has a tremor once in a while in his left hand, and a little ridgeity in his left arm but not in his right arm it is smooth moving. I don''t think he is able to go to the States any more, and he does not want to. But medical is not that good here. I have read about the B1. He also has Kidney failure, but his number are a lot better the past few years since I had him take sodium bycarb. B1 is somewhat good for the kidney, but how high I could take I am not sure, and I am very careful. I am him on 100mg reg type, I would like him to try the under the tongue type. I would have to wait for his daughter to bring us some from the States when she comes for a visit. I just saw your off days. In the last two years what he is able to do doesn't change that much, he just moves very slow all the time, he does not get angry much except when he took the C/L.

I’m not sure why thiamine HCL works for some people with Parkinson’s because it is shown to not raise brain levels of thiamine which is where I would think you would need it. Benfotiamine, Sulbutiamine, and TTFD are supposed to raise brain tissue levels of thiamine so maybe that would be worth trying for you. The only drawback would be that you may need more supplements to counteract potential paradoxical reactions that may occur from potential poor methylation, lower levels of glutathion, or sulfite sensitivity. Also, Daphne Bryan did sublingual Thiamin in relatively small quantities of a single 100mg tablet per day and it’s supposed to go into the blood rapidly and I think it would make sense for it to get into the brain tissue that way. Also, I’m curious if you’ve ever tried manganese supplementation.

“Types of Parkinson’s Symptoms Symptoms of Parkinson’s vary by the type of parkinsonism and between individuals. An individual with Parkinson’s will not necessarily experience all or even most symptoms. Parkinson’s is a progressive disease, which means that symptoms worsen gradually over time, new symptoms appear, and disability accumulates. Motor Symptoms Everyone with Parkinson’s experiences symptoms related to movement, known as motor symptoms. In early stages of Parkinson’s, motor symptoms are typically unilateral - limited to one side of the body. Motor symptoms are the hallmarks of parkinsonism, and the condition cannot be diagnosed without them. The most common motor symptoms of Parkinson’s include: Bradykinesia (Slowed movement) Tremor Rigidity Loss of balance Other motor symptoms of parkinsonism include: Stooped posture Shuffling gait Dystonia (repetitive twisting, swaying, or head-bobbing motions) Painful muscle contractions Muscle jerks or twitches Freezing episodes Mask-like facial expression Decreased blinking Softer, slurred, or mumbled speech Speaking in a monotone voice Drooling Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) Micrographia (small handwriting) Slowed or abnormal eye movements Eyelid spasms Difficulty opening the eyes Nonmotor Symptoms Many people with Parkinson’s experience other types of symptoms in addition to motor symptoms. Cognitive Symptoms According to studies, about 40 percent of those with Parkinson’s eventually experience cognitive difficulties. Cognitive changes, often referred to collectively as “cog fog” or “brain fog,” can include problems with memory, attention, processing information, finding the right words, slurred speech, learning and remembering new things, organization, and getting lost in familiar places. Psychotic Symptoms Between 20 percent and 40 percent of people who take medications for parkinsonism experience a loss of connection with reality known as psychosis. Psychosis can either be caused directly by the disease or as a side effect of treatment. Psychotic symptoms can include: Visual hallucinations Delusions Paranoia Irrational fears Flashbacks Nightmares Sensory Symptoms Decreased sense of smell is very common and often among the earliest symptoms of Parkinson’s. Approximately 96 percent of people newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s show a loss of sense of smell. Some people with Parkinson’s experience vision changes, including blurred vision, double vision, loss of sensitivity in the perception of color and contrast, and visual hallucinations. The sense of taste may also be affected by parkinsonism. Mood and Personality Changes Parkinson’s and medications for the condition often cause changes in mood and can affect personality traits. Psychological symptoms of Parkinson’s can include: Depression Anxiety Anger Irritability Jealousy Increased or decreased interest in sex Impulsiveness Compulsive behavior Other Symptoms Fatigue is common in Parkinson’s. Fatigue may not be caused directly by Parkinson’s, but stem from other symptoms, including motor difficulties, sleep problems, and depression, or be among the side effects of medication for parkinsonism. Problems with sleep are widespread in people with Parkinson’s. Sleep disturbances are the most common sleep symptom, but insomnia, restless legs syndrome, nightmares, and difficulty turning over in bed are also experienced. Orthostatic hypotension is the scientific term for feeling dizzy when you stand up. It is a common symptom of Parkinson’s - experienced by 20 to 30 percent of those with the condition - and can lead to faints and dangerous falls. Orthostatic hypotension is a result of low blood pressure either due to nerves damaged by the disease or as a side effect of Parkinson’s medication. Orthostatic hypotension usually happens within three minutes of standing. This symptom is more likely the older you get and the longer you have Parkinson’s. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, especially constipation, are among the most common Parkinson’s symptoms. Bladder dysfunction is common in Parkinson’s. As many as 50 percent of those with advanced Parkinson’s report overactive bladder. Pain in Parkinson’s disease comes in many varieties. Although Parkinson’s is not widely considered a painful disease, it can cause muscle pain from cramps and repetitive movements, neuropathy (nerve pain, or pins-and-needles numbness sensation), shooting pain such as sciatica, or a sharp, burning pain. Pain usually occurs on the side of the body most affected by Parkinson’s symptoms. It is common for people with Parkinson’s to experience sexual dysfunction. Parkinson’s causes lowered libido and difficulty orgasming in both sexes. Motor symptoms can also make physical aspects of sex problematic. In men, Parkinson’s leads to erectile dysfunction and ejaculation problems. In women, decreased arousal, vaginal dryness, and pain with intercourse occur. In about 1 percent of people with Parkinson’s, medications cause hypersexuality - compulsive sexual behavior. People with Parkinson’s are four times more likely to develop melanoma, a dangerous type of skin cancer. Those who have had melanoma are four times more likely to develop Parkinson’s.” Hi!
