SPECIAL NOTE:
Cancer patients treating with PureDCA (to shrink tumors and/or prevent cancer recurring) require additional supplementation of Thiamine/Vitamin B1. This is because the PureDCA utilizes thiamine stores in your body to shrink and expel the tumor cells - this increased utilization of thiamine can trigger thiamine deficiency without adequate supplementation. This Thiamine Deficiency has symptoms of the Nervous system disorder, known as "Dry BeriBeri" (see below).
Vitamin B1 is an essential vitamin known as aneurin, thiamin, and thiamine - deficiency in this vitamin can be deadly. Vitamin B1 is water soluble and must be taken daily to replenish our stores and prevent thiamine deficiency. Thiamin helps maintain a normal metabolism; process carbohydrates, fats, and proteins; burn carbohydrates for energy; and, aid in metabolism of amino acids. Every cell requires Vitamin B1 to fuel our body. Nerve cells require Vitamin B1 in order to function normally. Thiamine Deficiency has serious repurcussions to your health. However, Thiamine Deficiency is reversible with supplementation.
Causes of Thiamine Deficiency:
Cancer Patients treating with PureDCA
Crash Dieting
Liver Disfunction
Kidney Dialysis
Alcohol Abuse
Consumption of sweets, soft drinks, processed foods
Sustained periods of IV nutrients
Carbohydrate Heavy Diet
Symptoms of Thiamine Deficiency:
Loss of Appetite
Poor Digestion
Chronic Constipation
Loss of Weight
Mental Depression
Nervous Exhaustion
Insomnia
Muscular Weakness
Leg Cramps
Slow Heartbeat
Irritability
Stomach and Digestive Disorders
Thiamine Deficiency causes heart muscles to become lazy, fatigued, lose strength, and gradually enlarge. Thiamine deficiency is common among alcoholics as alcohol blocks thiamine assimilation and makes nutrient absorption difficult.
The recommended daily dose of thiamin while on the PureDCA Cancer Treatment is 750mg per day - this is 2 capsules.
There are Two Major Disease Manifestations of Thiamine Deficiency:
"Wet Beriberi" related to Cardiovascular Disease
"Dry Beriberi" & "Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome" related to Nervous System Disease
Our highest concentrations of Vitamin B1 are found in muscle, heart, liver, kidneys, and brain. This explains why Thiamine Deficiency can be deadly if thiamine supplementation is not added.
Thiamine Deficiency adversely affects blood formation, carbohydrate metabolism, and the production of hydrochloric acid needed for proper digestion. An insufficient level of Thiamine also impairs circulation, cognitive activity, and brain function. Vitamin B1 or thiamine deficiency reduces energy, growth, normal appetite, learning capacity, and muscle tone of intestines, stomach, and heart. Vitamin B1, as antioxidant, protects our body from generative effects of aging, alcohol consumption, and smoking and may improve glucose tolerance and retard arterial blockages, especially in diabetics.
This vitamin can be synthetically prepared and is found in liver, port, yeast, nuts, and some whole grains. An average adult requires 2-3 grams of Vitamin B1 each day. Breads, flour, cereals are enriched with B1 to reduce thiamine deficiency. Thiamin can be found in food as free form, thiamin pyrophospate (TPP), and as a protein phosphate complex.
Thiamine Deficiency Symptoms can be reversed by supplementing with pure Thiamine.[!feature :powder!][!department :Health and Wellness, Alternative Health, Cancer Treatment!]
