Ecological Formulas - Allithiamine 50 mg 60 caps

Product Information

My mother’s cancer doctor mentioned that it sounded like I had a major b12 deficiency and that I should try supplements. I did and it worked for a time, giving me improvements, but there was still residual numbness. Which gradually got worse. A few of us were familiar with your work from perhaps 10 years ago, and several experimented with Benfotiamine at that time. While some saw some good gains from that, I feel that my son (now in his 20s) is seeing spectacular gains from the allithiamine after only a week or two–a much more obvious response than we saw with regular B vitamins or the Benfotiamine.

My test result is 1.09 which is the ratio of activated to basal activity. Anything below 1.15 is considered normal. I am now totally confused because everything I have been experiencing leads me to believe I have a thiamine deficiency and this test seems to be saying otherwise.I’m wondering if you’ve ever seen anyone who had symptoms like mine and if this can all just be chalked up to a b1 deficiency. That maybe I’ll be able to eat something other than meat in the future.

I performed animal and clinical studies with thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl (TTFD) for many years and found it to be an extremely valuable therapeutic nutrient. Any disease where energy deficiency is the underlying cause may respond to TTFD, unless permanent damage has accrued. Dr. Marrs and I believe that energy deficiency applies to any naturally occurring disease, even when a gene is at fault. For example, Japanese investigators found that TTFD protected mice from cyanide and carbon tetrachloride poisoning, an effect that was not shown by ordinary thiamine (Fujiwara, M. Absorption, excretion and fatal thiamine and its derivatives in the human body. In Shimazono, N, Katsura, E, eds. Beriberi and Thiamine. (pp 120-121) Tokyo, Igaku Shoin Ltd. 1965). They exposed a segment of dog’s intestine, disconnected it from its nerve supply and found that one of the disulfide derivatives stimulated peristalsis (the wavelike movement of the intestine). It is more than likely that TTFD could be used safely in patients with post operative paralysis of the intestine (paralytic ileus). Other Derivatives

I was able to wipe out Candida Krusei but I do still have yeast overgrowth (white toungue) due to IBS-C. I had elevated oxalates but not sure if I still have it. Would taking calcium citrate help breakdown oxalate foods? It’s been extremely difficult eradicating my yeast infections. My balance is pretty decent, just a bit more unsteady once in a while but my memory seems to have deteriorated. Thnk Gd not anywhere near K.S. but enough to concern me. I am experiencing an electrolyte imbalance (low phosphorus and potassium) after a period of fasting during Lent. I began eating normally again and experienced what I originally thought was Refeeding Syndrome. I had been diagnosed with this in the past and like this time, despite treatment and supplementing with up to 3,000 mg of Phosphorus and 160 mEq of Potassium, my blood levels are still low.

I used to eat a diet heavy in sugars and carbs and then noticed numbness forming in my fingers and toes. It took months to learn that it flares up whenever I consume any amount of sugar and even when I eat salt.

Prior to 2004 had anorexia (including binging and purging for 10 years or so) and severe depression. Dr. Lonsdale–THANK YOU to you and Dr. Marrs, from all of us who have been searching for answers for months and years. Thank you for your reply and advice. This particular doctor is a top Nephrologist here in NY and he’s also been a close friend since I was in my teens so there were a few advantages talking to him on the subject. In terms of alcohol consumption, about a year ago, for the first time in my life, I start chronic drinking. I stopped for 3 months after the Papilledema diagnosis, but then about 3.5 weeks ago started again, this time consuming much less alcohol. Around 2 weeks ago is when I noticed the memory and balance issue. I have stopped drinking again. I’ve been having problems waking up with a dry mouth for years, and recently air hunger, I thought was due to apena, however ENT could not diagnose me with sleep apnea after reading sleep study. He could not figure out way I was suffocating at night as he never had a skinny patient before. I found your article about pusedo-hypoxia after I talked to the ENT.

Thiamine is found in health food stores as thiamine hydrochloride and thiamine mononitrate. These are known as “salts” of thiamine. Like dietary thiamine, they require a protein transporter to get the vitamin into the cell. Their absorption used to be thought to be extremely limited, but megadoses are effective in some situations. The absorption of salts is therefore inferior to that of the thiamine derivatives discussed above. They are all so-called “open ring (thiazole)” forms of thiamine and represent the most useful way of getting big doses of thiamine into the cell. The reader should be aware that when we talk about big doses of a vitamin, it is being used as a drug. Although they can be used for simple vitamin deficiency, their medical use goes far beyond that because they can be effective sometimes when thiamine absorption is genetically compromised. We Need Your Help Firstly, thank you for the work you’ve done on informing the world about Thiamine and its derivatives. Your work is outstanding and has clearly helped countless people. Not only that, your work is clearly pushing a wave forward of new “medicine” that comes from nature and is focused on true healing, not fixing symptoms.At the moment I can only manage oral supplementation every 5 or more days without getting worsening stomach pains. This has taken the edge off the worst of my symptoms but is not really enough to replete me I suspect. I don’t know how to proceed. I am in the UK and cant source all forms of B1 that have been mentioned. I have Benfothiamine and the HCl form. When you mention starting with very small doses what sort of doses do you mean? Also what are the typical adverse symptoms? Would my gut pain be one such symptom? I do get similar gut pain from other supplements and many foods so it is not only B1 that causes it. May I make a suggestion? You and Dr Lonsdale are the only people I have come across on the internet who discuss Lupron and its horrific effects, apart from Lynne Millican. Without you people, I would have thought myself crazy. I do so appreciate your help. Perhaps you could invite other Lupron survivors to talk about what helped them and maybe there could be a discussion about thiamine supplementation, its co-factors and if it helps. Previously, I have not been able to discover a way out, after 13 years of living with daily migraines, thyroid and cognitive problems and other awful symptoms. I have been supplementing with iodine and selenium for the last few months. They seem to helps bit but now I know why I still feel so cold. (It is winter here). And thank you for sharing your experience. I can’t understand why such a central nutrient, low risk/high reward therapy is not being considered at all by the medical community. I took massive amounts of b12 supplements and ate beef liver and salmon everyday. The beef liver was the major thing that would make me feel okay, and I didn’t understand why. I’d tried b1 supplements before, but these were all the water soluble form. I would be interested to know if large doses of the polyphenol resveratrol is an anti-thiamine antagonist. I don’t believe it was used as such when the WHO published that report in 1999. Perhaps, Dr. Lonsdale could answer that.
