One of the nutrients that is most depleted by a high carbohydrate diet is thiamine (vitamin B1). Beriberi is the disease of severe thiamine deficiency. Many people have a subclinical level of thiamine deficiency. It’s called the great mimicker, because of its ability to mimic a variety of other diseases.

Vitamin B1 helps make the myelin sheath that protects your nerves. If you’re a diabetic, your high sugar level oxidizes the protective fatty layer around the cell. B1 helps protect this layer. If you develop peripheral neuropathy, you can take B1 to remedy it. I recommend the fat soluble form called benfotiamine. It’s excellent for neurological conditions.

Thiamine protects your cell’s mitochondria from high sugar damage. It works together with magnesium to help create energy for your body. When you’re deficient, you become fatigued. This has implications for remedying keto fatigue when you first go on a keto diet. Taking vitamin B1 along with other B vitamins will bring your energy up when you’re in keto adaptation.

B1 is considered a nerve vitamin because it creates so many problems with your nerves if you’re deficient.

The more carbohydrates you eat, the more B1 deficient you’re likely to be. If you don’t have enough B1, lactic acid builds up, changing your pH and your breathing. (Lactic acid buildup is also a side effect of metformin.) You’ll also experience issues with your cardiovascular and respiratory functions, such as enlarged heart and edema.

To detect a deficiency by lab test, you need a very specific one called a transketolase test. It’s expensive, and hard to get. Much easier to just take vitamin B1 supplements.

You can experience digestive system problems such as GERD, and a host of other weird symptoms. Take thiamine, and see if you feel better, or if these symptoms go away. I recommend you take nutritional yeast along with a supplement, in order to get a range of B vitamins. This will support both your autonomic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

I encourage you to remedy your thiamine deficiency to improve your health.

I started taking B1 as suspected I was low at age 60. Would occasionally have heart flutters for no known reason. The very first day I started taking it (100mg) after each meal, my heart flutter disappeared!! It's only been 3 days but have also noticed I have more energy and alertness during the day. I would usually have to take a nap after work but have not had the urge to do so!
Dr. Berg is really on to something with sharing this information with us! Thank you!

[rebeccahaddox]

I am so thankful for Dr. Berg's videos!!! I wrote an essay for my master's class over Dr. Berg's live sessions, and my professor loved it! I can honestly say, "Dr. Berg even helped me get an A this semester"! Lol ☺

[ChildofGod]

Dr Berg you just saved my life. Less than a week if taking B1 and nutritional yeast and there's a massive improvement.
I can't thank you enough.
May you forever be blessed.

Dr. Berg is a precious gift to humanity. Thank you Doctor 💖

Upon your suggestion, I got some Benfothiamine....

Holy crap! What a difference, with the very first dose. I've been VERY anxious to the point of debilitation.... I was frozen in fear, not getting anything done, and I've a ton of work to do. I'm looking forward to getting my life back on track....

I read the bottle, and it says to take it several times per day.... I'm going for it.

I've also a neuropathy in my right foot. Keto has helped that a lot.... but with B1, I'm optimistic about it being history.... gone for good.

I am now telling the world about B1.... thanks so much.... Oh, I got a bag of nutritional yeast as well.. and I've been only taking it for 4 remarkable.... a miracle.

Dr. Berg. I've learned more from u than I have learned from any doctor I've had in 70 years. Because of your dedication, I've recommended your channel to everyone I've came in contact with. Thank u.

[g-man]

Dr. Berg is better than all the doctors I have ever had put together.

[chrisb.]

My biggest regret is that I didn’t discover Dr. Berg’s videos sooner! With Canada’s medical system in crisis, and insufficient family doctors available, this information is a godsend and is helping me get myself and family and friends on the right path to better health and better well-being! I am truly grateful. PLEASE DO VIDEOS SPECIFICALLY ON MTHFR GENE MUTATION THAT ABOUT 50% of population has!! I am one of them and now realize how depleted and deficient vitamins have caused so many physical and mental ailments in people can be fixed!

[maryhollenstein]

Day 1 B1 supplement... within 20 minutes my body relaxed... within 8 hrs I felt first colon peristalsis in couple of weeks... I've had unremitting pain from autoimmune for months, sleeping 3 hrs a day needless to say an exhausted wreck... im impressed sharing w others

[pradeepmudliar]

If you found Dr.berg on you tube and subscribed. You are blessed. I am listening to him from 5 years and he gives problem, analysis and solution like no one else. Immensely benefitted from him. Heartfelt gratitude.

[IMissMrKitty]

This is SO helpful! I get extremely dizzy whenever I stand up and my doctor had no idea what was going on. Makes perfect sense.

[staceygantt]

I can confirm the tingle and numbness in my fingertips have decreased substantially since taking B1. But this video is helpful and will be shared with family members who have diabetes.

[karenlaorange]
