have you noticed that your child’s a little  clumsy or not coordinated so in this video  

i want to talk about the potential for a  nutritional deficiency the reason may not  

be something they’re just normally born  with but there’s an actual underlying  

nutritional deficiency so let’s talk about  this topic there is a condition called ataxia  

ataxia comes from the greek word meaning lack  of order so ataxia is a condition where the left  

side of the body is not coordinated with the  right there’s gait abnormalities with walking  

coordinated movements muscle movements and the  inability to judge distances so let’s say you’re  

going to shoot a football and you completely  overshoot or undershoot now that could be  

a lack of training in that sport or it could be  maybe a subclinical version of ataxia now if you  

look at the underlying causes for ataxia there’s  all sorts of things from brain tumor to cancer  

to head injury but there’s some  other interesting causes as well  

and one big interesting cause would be a vitamin  b1 deficiency i mean if you think about a severe  

case of b1 deficiency called beriberi one big  effect is destruction of neurons in your brain  

because the vitamin b1 is involved in so many  things in the body including brain function  

myelin sheath that surrounds the nerves digestion  cardiovascular function and impairment to certain  

parts of your brain now before i talk more about  b1 i want to talk about other causes of ataxia  

alcohol is one trigger certain drugs will cause  ataxia lithium can cause ataxia a buildup of  

mercury can cause ataxia a severe b12 deficiency  can cause it having gluten sensitivity can cause  

ataxia in fact there’s a condition called gluten  ataxia which i’m going to do a separate video  

on where gluten the protein in certain grains can  actually destroy neurons in your brain so there’s  

many things that can cause ataxia but what’s  not talked about very often is the relationship  

between vitamin b1 deficiency and ataxia and the  primary way which a child would become deficient  

in vitamin b1 would be consuming too much  refined rice too much refined grain and too much  

sugar not to mention gluten as well vitamin  b1 is in the bran which is the fiber part  

of the grain i’m talking about rice as well  in fact a very severe b1 deficiency is called  

beriberi and that was originally discovered  by certain communities consuming too much  

milled or refined polished rice i mean how many  children are living on refined carbohydrates in  

sugar i mean it’s probably the vast majority  now if you consume whole grains with the bran  

it’s filled with phytates and that can block  zinc another deficiency that shows up in a very  

large population of children what i’m saying is if  your child is not as coordinated as they should be  

start to get them off these  refined grains and sugar  

and give them some b1 and see if it doesn’t clear  up before you go if you have a question about a  

product or you’re new to keto and you want to  know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and  

you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you  

this is just for the people in the u.s  hopefully in the future we’ll be able to  

answer everyone’s call but i put the number  down below so you can call and get some help
