*** I ended up with High Blood Pressure taking TTFD. I no longer take TTFD. Based on my experience, I would not recommend TTFD. ***
Still on a break from TTFD!
My blood pressure was climbing again, I took a B-Complex and a TMG and it started coming down...
important video for anyone taking TTFD youtu.be/-DxvSUEVT_4
Dap1948 What's your thoughts?
excellent video Gcf51.
The information in this video should be known and studied by anyone using supplementation with thiamine in any form.
I know it is a technical video and difficult to understand, but once the technical terms are clarified everything becomes very understandable.
HDT (Hight Dose Thiamine) in its original edition provides intramuscular injections of 100mg of thiamine hcl, but they are only available with a prescription.
For this many PWPS use thiamine pills in various forms such as allithiamine, TTFD, benfothiamine, sublingual thiamine mononitrate, and the more widely used thiamine hcl, but whatever form you use be well fed with fresh fruit vegetables for minerals, some b complex some magnesium carbonate and electrolytes (sodium and potassium), drink more water, take thiamine breaks if you need.
I say this to simplify but then study the video of Gcf51 here, If you're someone who uses thiamine
The PD is an ugly beast, a little study is necessary if you want to contain it.
Greetings from Italy
Hi Gio', from the video I seem to have understood that, in a nutshell, those who use B1 in high deoses must necessarily reintegrate with Magnesium (400mg. per day) and Potassium to restore a balance. While with regards TTDF (more potent form of Thiamine) this becomes more complicated and difficult to manage, if only because it crosses the BBB. Therefore, the negative effects can manifest themselves in various form and intensity and evidently there is no precise recipe to counter them despite the advice to use various supplements. A product therefore to be used with caution in my opinion. Do you share all this Gio' ?
I agree, since TTFD crosses the BBB balance is more critical, but should also have a higher benefit. I just hope I can control it, I not go further down a rabbit hole with no path out.
Yes Fed, I agree; but maybe it's worth trying various forms of thiamine. I am currently trying benphothiamine and it seems to be a little better than hcl thiamine pills. We are still far from intramuscular injections of thiamine hcl. I will also try TTDF (which would look the most potent) later on then I will evaluate all types of thiamine compared to intramuscular injections. An injection changes my case for the better after two hours, but maybe I'm exaggerating. (I already hear the “ohh! Uhh! Aah” ). However, a break of a week or two will solve everything.
I am not saying that B1 as HCL doesn't need all the stuff mentioned in video. But since B1 as in TTFD goes into your cells and I therefore feel the other stuff becomes more important than it is with the more common B1 as HCL.
He mentions 500mg of Potassium (in the USA my understanding is FDA limits supplements to 3mg) which would taking that much seem reckless.
I have most of what he says except Molybdenum and I don't see Molybdenum on my test results.
