Many people don't realise that having parkinson's disease is extremely painful.

I am so sorry about your pain! Parkinson's is so unfair.

Hi there.....this is the pain my hubby experiences and it is so debilitating for him. Dr. Constantini has contacted me, thank you for putting me on this path. I have to see if the doc here in the U.K. will administer the injection. If not will start with the tablets. Dr.Constantini said buy the half gram tablets thiamine HCL, I can only see the 500mg Solgar ones, so not sure how many to take of these. He mentions taking 6 in the morning and six at night. Can you advise as I see you are taking this. Thanks in advance. Kim

2 x day (morning 2g and 5 pm 2g) Vitacost vitamin B1 (as thiamin HCL) 500mg, easy swallow capsules

Did Dr C say to take 6 1/2 grams in the morning n then 6 1/2 grams at night? I think that would be total of 6000mg which would be 6 grams total per day. Please recheck your instructions. Thx

This was what DR. C said..... If this is not possible, buy the half-gram thiamine hcl tablets and take the first 6 tablets in the morning and 6 tablets for lunch every week. Afterwards you will be able to continue cn 4 and 4 every day. The benefits of the cure are immediately appreciated with the vials. It will take a few days for them to be understood. Pain is a medical emergency, and that of parkinsonians is very severe. Start now.

Hi there this was the instructions from him above, but remember I am buying the solgar Hcl 500mg tabs....so not sure what you equate the dosage to here....I thought that it worked out to 600mg in the morning and 600mg at night?

Hi kim. Half a gram is 500miligrams. 6 “tablets” of half a gram is 3000miligrams or 3 grams. He probably wants your husband to start at 6 grams per day, 3 am n 3 pm n then lower to 4 grams per day at 2 in the am n 2 in the pm. I’ve read on this site that he put other people on that plan. The daily amount depends on the person’s weight.

I hope this helps. God bless.

Ps. I know that 6 grams / 6000mg seems like a lot. But what isn’t used by your body will be urinated out. I have been giving my bro 3grams and the 4 grams of B1/Thiamine for 4 weeks now and I can tell the difference in his mind n attitude. Some people on this site say it may take up to 4 months to start seeing the affects. So be patient and enjoy the ride. There is hope in sight with Dr. C. Thank God

Dr. Costantini always recommends the 500 mg tablets. It takes two of these capsules to equal 1 GRAM. He is telling you to take 6 tablets "before breakfast" and 6 tablets "before lunch" on an empty stomach. This means a total of 12 tablets per day which equals 6 grams per day. It sounds like in time, he plans to cut your total dose down from 6 + 6 to 4 + 4 or from 6 GRAMS total per day to 4 GRAMS total per day.

If you have any questions or doubts, contact him again to be sure you are doing exactly what he wants.

Initial success was at 4g daily several months ago. Moved to 6g daily for two weeks trying to reduce tremor. Did not affect tremor. Failure was in fine motor control and constipation return. Moved to 2g daily finding improved motor control but still constipated. I returned to the dose 4 g daily. Now no constipation and suppressed Parkinson's symptoms.

Everyone must determine what dose works for them. Doctor Costantini, as appears in my observation and reading, chooses a standard therapeutic dose of 4g, just as he started me with. Others have found adjustments necessary.

Hi there....having a blonde moment lol....so 2x 500gram tablet in the morning and 2 x 500gram tablet at 5 pm? Not sure of the 2 g terminology.
