I have been taking it 3 months and yes significant results. The feeling of normality is the only to describe it. I have even reduced mucuna pruriens. I don't take meds and was diagnosed 7 years ago. Please keep going. It's finding your right amount of B1

Are you sure about your dosage? Dr. Costantni recommends 600mg. B1 for a weight of 60 kg.

I went up to 4g as he recommended. If you overdose on B1 you have sleepless nights but you need to do that to Kickstart the process. Then I stopped and started again, this time got to 3g and I kept on until 100mg seems the right amount for the moment

Hi, please confirm that you went from 3000 mg (3 grams) of B1 a day to what you now consider your dose of 100mg a day. A big difference, if I interpreted correctly.

Thanks, M

Yes over quite a long period. It's a rebooting process

Fantastic, so happy for you. Hope must die when we die.

Just a mention for people who may have a significant number of symptoms or significant severity of symptoms or both. Overdosing on HDT can potentially worsen symptoms to a new all time high, but Dr. Costantini has said that any worsening of symptoms is temporary in all of his years of experience with thousands of patients in total.

A new "worst ever " as symptoms go can be scary! Stopping at that point should allow the symptoms to subside according to Dr. Costantini and then he would start again at a lower dose after a week to 5 days off from HDT.

My husband is on Mucuna Pruriens and amino acids to combat his PD. He is just starting B1 protocol. His PD is mild after 5 years. He did a stellar pull test. The only motor area that shows is one hand tremor and lip tremor. He is also very tired. We started this week with 1 gram in the am and before lunch 500 mg. How did you reduce the mucuna? He is on 10,000 mg of mucuna.
