Believe me when I say, you do NOT want to to taste benfotiamine. I only made that mistake once. Put it in capsules (use gelatin capsules).

The smell is quite pungent, and is easily recognizable when excreted in the urine.

I use this

@gentlepotato I was referring to just HOW deficient I was.

@gentlepotato basically, thiamine deficiency is almost as prevalent as hypothyroidism, in the two are very much intertwined.

It's an enzyme transporter, responsible for multiple parts of the ETC, and whole host of things. It's very easily depleted by oxphos, and by metabolizing alcohol.

Thiamine is actually very cheap if you buy powder and put it in capsules. I use benfotiamine. At first I took a couple grams a day, and it took a week before it started to excrete in the urine.

Incidentally, high dose thiamine cured my "seasonal allergies" where I would wake up every day congested or only able to breath through one nostril.

@takethiamine on X has detailed threads about B1maxxing.

This is a very interesting thread.

I am about halfway through the High Calorie Malnutrition book, and it seems to me that doing this sort of sugar therapy will require large doses of thiamine to keep your levels up. A b-complex is also good and necessary, but thiamine will be easily depleted on this sort of program, as I understand it.

OP,

Maybe 30 minutes to an hour before bed, get a glass of OJ and your sugarbowl. Eat a spoonful of sugar, and wash down with OJ. Do this till it stops tasting good, usually 4 or 5 spoonfuls for me.

Then have a drop or two of T3, and tell me you don't sleep like the dead, and wake feeling rested and like you've been dreaming.

If I don't do this sufficiently, I wake in the beginning stages of a migraine, which means I need a spoonful or two of coconut oil in the evening as well.

In this case, I do the OJ and sugar first thing when I get up.

So I started dry scooping half a teaspoon after each meal yesterday, and everything seemed to go well.

Today at work I dryscooped roughly a tablespoon, and about 1.5 hours later I was literally nodding off at my desk.

I don't feel tired/wired, just literally could barely keep my eyes open, and if I closed them almost immediately snored myself awake.

Unfortunately I cannot get away with dozing at work, but I would be interested to know I am interpreting consequences correctly.

RADTHOR is the newest and greatest invention this side of radio waves!

I have found when taking tyronene, that somrtimesi become almost narcoleptic, barely able to keep my eyes open. I think this is due to not consuming sufficient fuel, because if I made a point of eating or drinking significant glucose, I tend not to have this issue.

It seems like it might also possibly be that it relaxes me so much after years of high cortisol and adrenaline that I simply feel the fatigue all of a sudden. Haidut's kuinone seems to have a similar effect, but only sometimes.

What sort of peaty steps can I take for a loved one without a gall bladder?

Besides advising tablespoons of honey throughout the day, I also got them ox bile capsules.

Any other advice specific to this situation would be much appreciated.

Well are they?
