hey guys today we’re going to talk about

vitamin b deficiency okay

this is actually way more common than

you might think

the problem is when you do testing on

this a lot of times it won’t show up in

the blood because the problem or the

defect

is in the enzyme that allows b1 to work

and just if you wanted to get it tested

the enzyme you would

get tested for would be trans-keto lace

okay it’s just an enzyme that

works with b1 in doing its function okay

so

but the problem is trying to find a lab

that will test it’s quite difficult but

anyway

here’s what b1 does generally it does a

lot of things

but it’s involved in five different

enzymes it’s a cofactor

and five enzymes enzymes are the things

that do the work

in the body they’re the workhorse it’s

involved in all sorts of

bile body chemistry or chemical

reactions especially in the mitochondria

which is

energy factory so b1 is essential

to make those enzymes work so if you’re

deficient in b1 the enzymes don’t work

and you’re going to get

fatigue is probably the most common

symptom when you take vitamin b1

it seems to bring your energy right up

most of the time

and instead of going out and getting a

test it’s much cheaper just to take b1

and see if you feel better

chances are you’re going to feel better

so in the next section i’ll talk about

where to get b1 how much to take but in

this section i’m going to talk about

how many different systems it’s involved

with

b1 deficiency is called berry berry and

it’s

known as the great mimicker of disease

because it mimics so many other body

situations

it’s incredible it’s very widespread i

think

probably if you are pre-diabetic if you

have insulin resistance

if you’re a diabetic you have a b1

deficiency

if you drink alcohol on a regular basis

you probably have a b1 deficiency if you

have a high carbohydrate diet

you probably have a b1 deficiency

because that’s how you

develop a b1 deficiency so you

definitely need b1 when you actually

digest carbohydrates so too many refined

carbs

are going to deplete that so it’s

involved in making energy

it’s also involved in protecting the

cell

and the mitochondria against oxidation

or free radicals it’s kind of considered

an antioxidant

it also protects the cell against

glycation which is basically when you

combine

a sugar with a protein or a sugar with a

fat

it develops like sticky protein it also

protects you

against developing amyloid plaquing in

the brain that’s what you see in

alzheimer’s so it’s kind of like a

a protein that clogs up the brain’s

neural function

there’s an incredible book um by dr

derrick longsdale md it’s i got the

kindle book it was like 79 dollars very

expensive

well worth it i could not stop reading

it

fascinating now the first system i’m

going to talk about

is the cardiovascular and respiratory

system

these are some of the symptoms that you

can develop if you’re b1 deficient in a

large

heart because the heart has to work

harder

and then what happens is the heart gets

bigger and bigger

uh increase pulse rate edema

usually in the lower ankles and things

so you press

your lower ankle and you get this

indentation you see that a lot in

diabetics

microvascular damage your nerves need a

blood supply

so if you’re deficient in b1 you’re

going to starve

the food supply to the nervous system

that’s why you see something called

peripheral neuropathy tingling burning

and numbness

and pain on your fingertips or the

bottom of your feet

okay so now let’s go to the digestive

system you’ll feel a full sensation in

your stomach like you’re always kind of

stuffed

you can get constipated gastroparesis

now what is that

that’s a condition where your digestive

system is very sluggish

foods going through very very slow

gerd which is kind of like a the valve

on the top of the stomach doesn’t close

and you get acid that comes up through

this way now these two conditions really

come from low stomach acids hydrochloric

acid

and so vitamin b1 deficiency will create

a situation where you have

lower hcl hydrochloric acid thereby

causing

a sluggishness in the digestive system

and

causing gerd because it takes an acid

stomach to keep that valve

closed okay so you can see that it’s

just so widespread it just goes way over

here and it goes way over here

and then the nervous system we talked

about peripheral neuropathy but just

neuritis in general

any type of nerve pain or nerve damage

that’s occurring

b1 is very intimately involved in that

okay vertigo which is kind of a

dizziness when you actually stand up too

fast or even when you’re standing

and you feel like you know you’re on a

ship that could be coming from a b1

deficiency

and then it affects something called the

autonomic nervous system this is like

the

the combination between the sympathetic

nervous system and the parasympathetic

nervous system

and these are the two systems that work

on automatic so they do a lot of

different things so you can imagine how

many different symptoms

can occur from a problem within this

system

it’s a very wide spread lack of tears

okay

excessive sweating or no sweating okay

a lot of people have that and they don’t

really know what it is and it’s hard to

find

the cause of that but usually it’s a b1

deficiency

anxiety especially nervous tension

can’t relax excessive thinking brain

fog exercise intolerance

i mean how many people have a resistance

to exercise right they

they just don’t feel like they have the

energy to exercise

b1 insomnia you can’t sleep

a condition called pots pots is a

condition where

um your your ability to adapt

to gravity and positional change is like

completely ruined because the autonomic

nervous system

especially the sympathetic nervous

system is dysfunctional so when you

stand up

the blood flow does not um keep up into

the brain

and you just get dizzy all the time so

you basically have to lay around all day

you can’t quite get up

and down without feeling dizzy so

these people absolutely positively

should never go on a roller coaster

because that would really

mess them up but this is a b1 deficiency

fascinating sleep apnea because the

nerves that are affected in the brain

stem

control the respiratory centers so if

those are not working because there’s

not enough b1

you can have problems breathing and even

just breathing in general is going to be

a problem like you’re going to feel like

you

can’t get enough air and that’s for not

just for this reason there’s a couple

other ones we’ll get to

panic attacks b1 deficiency

nightmares at night classic b1

deficiency lack of stamina

just you know especially when you’re

exercising you just you just

you don’t feel like you want to exercise

because you just run out of gas real

fast

why because b1 is intimately involved in

five enzymes in your mitochondria so if

those enzymes aren’t working

your mitochondria is tired and all the

different autoimmune diseases

usually have a common symptom of fatigue

that’s usually the b1 so if you have

hashimoto’s or ms and you’re tired

take some b1 and see if you don’t just

feel a lot better

a buildup of lactic acid see b1

helps get rid of lactic acid which is a

byproduct

of something in your metabolism in the

mitochondria

so if you don’t have b1 you can’t clear

it out so you build up lactic acid you

get this condition called lactic

acidosis

so you see that in a restless leg

syndrome you see that too

in people that have problems breathing

if you’re a diabetic for example and

you’re taking metformin

one of the side effects is lactic

acidosis that’s why they actually have a

black label which is a more severe label

that it can cause this condition well

the reason why it causes that condition

is because

one of the side effects of metformin

is a b1 deficiency makes sense so you

can’t get rid of the lactic acid so it

builds up

and you start becoming more acidic and

then you have breathing

problems recurrent ear infections

interesting you have a problem with

excess estrogen

uh the worst type of estrogen you can

have uh too much of is estradiol

so without enough b you can’t

clear it out because one of the

functions would be one is to

get rid of excess estradiol from your

liver

okay this next one let me explain is

called ross i’m not going to get into

exactly

what it is but just realize it’s an it’s

like a free radical

oxidation particle okay and it’s

developed by your cells

and b1 helps to reduce that oxidation

remember it’s an antioxidant

so you’ll have greater amounts of ross

if you don’t have enough b1 now

when a woman is pregnant and she’s

delivering a baby

there’s a condition called toxemia which

is very dangerous for the baby and the

mother

the organs start becoming toxic and

the heart becomes a problem the kidneys

become an issue high blood pressure

and even it’s life-threatening as well

so b1

will help prevent toxemia okay so the

beta cells or the pancreas are affected

those are the cells in the in the

pancreas that basically make

insulin so without enough b1 you’re not

going to make enough

insulin if you’re type 1 diabetic you

need

a lot of insulin because diabetics they

can’t really absorb b1 too well so they

have to take even

more than the average healthy person

okay so stress buildup so when you don’t

have enough b you’re going to be

highly irritable edgy little things will

bug you you won’t have very much

tolerance for stress

and a condition called sids sudden

infant death syndrome

that’s a b1 deficiency because the

infant just stops

breathing in in his or her sleep it’s b1

because of the b1 effect of the

respiratory centers

okay so let’s go to the next part okay

so now why would you be deficient okay

mainly sugar refined sugar empty

calories

if you take two diabetics okay and

they’re both consuming sugar

and one is deficient in b1 but the other

one is not

this diabetic will experience a lot of

the complications

of diabetes this one will experience a

lot less

so b1 helps prevent

the damage or at least the complications

or the symptoms

from high sugar okay carbs in general

because the more carbs you consume

the more b1 you need to metabolize those

carbs

white rice and this is a carb but i

wanted to put this there because it’s

really how they discovered uh beriberi

white rice and all the b vitamins are on

the

the the hull okay so when you actually

take the hall out

so brown rice has the hall so they take

it out

and then you have this just pure

carbohydrate white rice

and then you consume that and you create

a vitamin b1

deficiency that’s why if you actually

consume rice halls you would get b1 from

that but this is the waste product of

the white rice

alcohol that depletes b1 big ton

also heat like in pasteurization or

cooking food

you’re going to destroy b1 aging

the older you are the lower b1 you’re

going to have

all right diabetes okay so diabetics

are nearly always deficient in b1 that’s

because b1

is intimately involved in the cell that

makes

insulin okay so if we have a problem

with that then we’re going to actually

have a deficiency

something called polyphenols that would

be coffee

tea and wine so if you consume a lot of

coffee or tea

don’t be surprised if you end up with a

b1 deficiency

especially if you get that jittery if

you drink a lot of coffee and you feel

that jittery that feeling

you just take some b1 it goes away

within about four minutes

okay gastric bypass you’re going to have

a deficiency of b1 simply because

they’re

they’re taking out the first part of the

small intestine

well guess where b1 is absorbed the

first part of the small intestine

if you had a gastric bypass i would

recommend taking

more b1 to somehow get it absorbed okay

sulfites

can create also a b1 deficiency and also

raw

fish if you have liver damage you’re not

going to be able to absorb

the b1 as well anti-acids and

antibiotics also deplete vitamin

b1 caffeine will deplete it and

if you don’t have enough stomach acid

you also will not be able to absorb

b1 but it also takes b1 to actually help

you make

stomach acid so it’s kind of like it

goes back and forth

vaccinations can trigger a b1 deficiency

and give the person pots okay there’s a

certain

vaccine i’m not going to get into it too

much but you can look it up

you’ll find a lot of data on it but

vaccinations will deplete your b1

now the foods that are high in b1 would

be

liver yeast both baker’s yeast and

nutritional yeast

i like the nutritional yeast a little

bit better because

the taste of baker’s yeast is not that

great and also it’s hard to find the

quality

i now as far as the source of b1 i like

the nutritional yeast

unfortified i’m not opposed to you

taking

b1 by itself even if it’s synthetic as

long as you take

either a natural source of b vitamins

with it

or if you just take nutritional yeast

with it because anytime you take like

one single vitamin

over a long period of time it could

deplete or throw out of balance the

other factors because

vitamin b is a complex it has a lot of

different vitamins

pork is high in b1 eggs

fish sunflower seeds rice halls

squash asparagus and seafood

okay and again if you wanted to know the

test that will determine if you’re b1

deficiency

trans-ketoglyce okay that’s the name of

it

it’s hard to find a lab that will do

that on you tender calves

that’s a good way to pick it up if you

reach down you grab your calf and it’s

real tender

you could have a b1 deficiency and

increase effort to exercise so it really

takes a tremendous amount of effort

to start exercise so you just don’t have

that get up and go

mojo okay and then take some b1 and then

if you feel better and all of a sudden

now you can exercise then you’re good to

go

personally when i exercise i take uh b1

i might take like 100 milligrams

but then i’ll take some nutritional

yeast at the same time and i’ll i’ll go

exercise

on my bike and i notice when i take the

b1

i can go a lot further in fact i

probably can double the workout

and i just feel like my body just has to

exercise it’s very interesting

and that’s basically kicking in that

that mitochondria

ben photome okay that’s a fat soluble

version of b1 it is synthetic however

there hasn’t been any side effects known

uh when they study this so

i think this is totally fine but again

make sure you take your nutritional use

with it just to make sure you have the

whole balance

but benfotamine is really important with

people that have

nerve problems or alzheimer’s or any

parkinson’s or any type of damage to the

brain with memory

because it innervates the brain 25

times more than the regular

b1 that you would get that’s water

soluble because what they did is they

made b1 into a fat soluble so it

penetrates

the brain which is all fat and the

nerves so it’s great for peripheral

neuropathy

so if you were going to take benfotamine

i would just take four

tablets or i think they come in capsules

just through the day

and you should probably gonna see some

great results especially

if someone has alzheimer’s or

parkinson’s or memory problems

you’re going to see some great

improvement or peripheral neuropathy

all right i know it’s a very long video

but i wanted to give you

all the aspects of b1 it’s a very vital

vitamin

thanks for watching so i want to know

about what you think about this video

so please comment below and tell me what

you think
