Thiamine Deficiency Protocols & Addressing Nutrient Interactions

Good overall but I just wish that a protocol broken down by breakfast/noon/evening (like the megadose protocol) was given for the other conditions such as fibromyalgia. Also the dosing range for Calcium D-Glucarate was never given

Very informative. Wish there was more relating to histamine intolerance.

Excellent, excellent info on something that's literally changed my life. My mind works again. Benfo helped but TTFD does the job best.

The document contents are great, and they solved my issues with symptoms I was having in week 3 of this process. My printer jammed while I was printing it and I lost the first 10 pages of the download and then the email sent to me does not work for a second download, which it looks like it should have. I sent an email requesting another link so I could print the first 10 pages and haven’t gotten that yet. But once again, the content is amazing and totally worth it and I am ridiculously excited about being able to reverse problems I have had for decades. I am listening and relistening to your videos on YouTube, which is how I came across your work and I’m so grateful. It is quite frustrating that over my 53 years lifetime of expressing symptoms not a single doctor ever considered thiamine deficiency. You are absolutely a man on a mission doing the right thing to get this word out to the people by YouTube.

Very helpful in knowing how to get started. I’m glad I purchased it.

Massive thank you to Elliot for making this available. I found this guide to be so informative and easy to follow. Planning on starting the outlined protocol next week and hoping for great results after 5 years of chronic symptoms.

Hugely helpful resource. Offers practical step by step guidance. I am using for myself and for a disabled adult son who has issues with digestion and with anxiety. The ebook provides all of the details needed to get us started in working with thiamine therapeutically. Also appreciate the lectures on You Tube. Thank you.

I still haven´t gotten the chance to go through it thoroughly. I bought the protocol to use as a reference. Actually, I am going to write you an email.

Very pleased with the content! I think a strong addition would be the article Elliot wrote back in January of 2022 titled, "Is Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD) Toxic? Refuting Andrew Cutler’s Claims." That article contains a lot of good commentary that I think would be incredibly beneficial to have on hand as reference for individuals trying to tailor their own protocols due to other complex issues they face. Thank you so much for this resource!

5 stars

All in all, a valuable document. The 59 Euros saved me from listening to several hours of videos, and allowed me to frame the topic in my mind so the videos are now even more useful. There were a couple of things you could change to aid in reading: 1. Pg. 18, middle, "(more info in Part 2)". A glance at the table of contents doesn't tell me where Part 2 is. Can you add "Part 1, Part 2, etc. to the Table of Contents? 2. On the dosage charts beginning pg. 22, can you add a brief description of the contents of each supplement listed in the chart under "Supplement"? For example, under ThiaMega, a simple "(B-Complex)" directly underneath "ThiaMega" would help those of us unfamiliar with your brand names, to know what ThiaMega is. This would keep me from having to continually refer back to the somewhat confusing picture at the bottom of pg. 21. 3. Pg. 26, Stage 2 dosage chart: you say to "Gradually double the dose of benfotiamine, TTFD and thiamine HCl. After achieving this the total dose of thiamine is approx 600mg per day." However, in the Stage 1 chart, the previous dose was 400mg. Doubling as per Stage 2, would result in a dosage of 800 mg. Likewise, the increase in dosages between the Stage 3 and 4 charts is not clear. Thank you for your work in writing this document. Any errors are minor. For me, just learning that I needed to take a B-Complex tablet along with the thiamine, has made an immediate difference in my energy level.

great info. No mention of Vitamin D in protocols, wonder why not?

Very helpful dokument.

The document is excellent. It is assisting me in figuring out why my paradoxical reactions and the additional nutrients I need to add to make the therapy more successful. Hoping I can now figure this out for greater benefit. Thank you for this succinct, yet fullsome document.

Very detailed and easy to follow. Hoping for great results. Thanks

I find the document very valuable - all needed is there. It will save lot of time and money in long run.

It’s a lot of pages and a lot of info. We are still in the beginning stages of this protocol. It’s the most informative of any info I have found so far. Husband has Parkinson’s and is on 100mg of TTFD along with some extra magnesium. He took the Thimax 100mg pill without any reactions. We will incrementally increase again very soon. It’s important for us to have as much info about the paradoxical effects as possible so he can be a successful as possible. Thank you Elliot for ask that you do.

This is very helpful information for dosing. I was winging-it on my own. I now have a much more targeted protocol to follow. Thank you!

Awesome!

Really useful document, especially the parts with recommended supplements for people with specific medical conditions and the explanations of possible vitamin deficiencies and how to address them. Very straight forward and easy to follow. Noticed a minor error on the Niacin (Vitamin B3) page under the section “Nutrition Interaction” it talks about Riboflavin B2 instead of Niacin B3.

Very comprehensive. It has been helping me tremendously to navigate my way through thiamine replenishment. Thank you for making this available to us.

an invaluable document of essential knowledge, this important information comes with generous healing spirit

Excellent, precise information about how to use thiamine for different health concerns, easy to understand for those who don’t know much about medicine

Really hard to get in fb group or get any awnsers

Excellent Protocols

I have only looked through the document and was amazed at how massive it is. I briefly studied varies areas thinking I’ve got so much to learn. Getting this document was my first goal. Now to start reading it so as to understand is what I intend to do next!

I can not express my gratitude enough for the work that Elliot put forward. I feel that this is a (the) missing link in healing from chronic illnesses like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, alzheimer, neuropathy and even things like autism. My son has autism and epilepsy (which I think is not epilepsy but dysautonomia) and I have literally tried everything to get him better but he lacked the energy to heal. We are on this protocol for 3 weeks so still in the early stages but I can see changes already that give me hope that addressing thiamine deficiency is needed in order to do the treatment that he needs to heal the root cause (mold/mycotoxins and heavy metal toxicity).

I found the Thiamine Protocols most helpful. The instructions are clear and all the important topics are covered. Thank you!

Simple to read and understand. It is time to implement Thiamine into my supplement regime.

Incredible work and will help so many people. Highly recommend. Elliot knows his stuff

Thank you so much for making this information available.

I am so grateful for all your work. Do you do practitioner training? :)

Worth the cost for anyone considering trying a high-dose thiamine protocol! It may save you time and error and will give you several options for how to proceed safely. Well organized with helpful diagrams.

Keen to start my patients on this protocol...

I have friends and family afflicted with Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. These are life destroying diseases that cause tremendous suffering, with no effective treatment. Elliot Overton's guide provides the information needed to start dosing Thiamine right away!

Easy to download. I converted it to 'Word' - which created some disorganized verbiage/alignment. In general very please with the information and the ease of access.

Do not tell people they don't need this please. This book is paramount to healing. I am struggling with high heartrate due to beriberi and hope this info will help me. Thank you Elliott.

Excellent but needs to be OCR’ed to make searchable.

The virtue of a pdf is that one can search the multiple occurrences of text. But I Could not use the search function on this document and could not apply text recognition either. Otherwise it helped put a protocol together.

An excellent resource for anyone wanting to understand the signs and symptoms of a Vitamin B deficiency as well as what you can do to recover from the deficiency! Nothing better than having the ability to be well in your own hands.

Very exhaustive and clear treatment of many conditions with very clear traetment guidlines. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Easy to follow just getting started. Thx

Very well presented, easy to follow. Packed with information.

I recently took benfotiamine and ending up in ER. Elliot's ebook is providing me with information and the courage to keep experimenting. If anything I would have liked a little more information regarding POTS and heart issues, however that may not be possible at the moment. Thank you Elliot for your commitment to helping sufferers with this little known about deficiency.

Very uselful. I am a French speaker, I was expecting to use the Google translation on it. I can not.

I really like this document as it's helpful in many ways. It is very good! Things I might like to see improved are a better understanding of what to do if sulfur-sensitive. I can't handle most things with sulfur and neither can my clients so it's harder to recommend this document when it's heavy on the TTFD. I think it would be helpful to have "additional recommendations" if you can't tolerate TTFD. Or maybe a "sulfur sensitive protocol" added separate from sensitive dosing. I'm on the extreme end of sensitive much like my clients and can take very high doses of some things and barely sprinkles of others. I'd also love to see things on how to "stack" this with the things that mimic B1 deficiency. I have most of those: metals, mold, CIRS, MCAS. This document kinds of eludes to the fact that, if these conditions are present, B1 deficiency may not need addressed. I feel like while those conditions do mimic the deficiency, they need to be addressed concurrently.

Thanks Elliott John N.D. Loved the functional medicine approach. Super informative... i would love to get more clarity in the protocols about what is the usual effective dosing. For eg 200-2000 is not that specific. Whilst i know over 100 patients that may be true.. .but some expectation of where the effectiveness will be.. would be good. Anecdotes seem to be supplying effective doses much lower than protocols. However,having all protocols including other nutrients eg PQQ for variety of conditions makes it worth the money spent. Its a lot of money, but also a LOT of value to practitioners like myself. Its widely thought B1 deficiency does not exist except in extreme conditions... not anymore ... thank you!!

Great Info! Thanks a lot for everything you do, Elliot! But is has some mistakes in it (e.g. "Niacin" on page 82: the section "nutritional interaction" is about B2, same as on the page before) For me, the document is still not searchable (ctrl + f). Although, regarding a post in the FB-Group, it should be. Still, very informative & helpful document!

I enjoyed reading through this - a great explanation for what I might be experiencing and written in a way that I can comprehend what steps I now need to take and how to assess how I'm going. Thank you. Well done

The document is filled with spelling erros, unfinished sentences, and even has the dosage of a supplement incorrect.

I found the information beneficial for me. Explanations were easy to follow, especially with the aid of diagrams. Great work, thank you Elliot

Hi I’m glad that I have it now as I was doing my own b1 dosing, for my husband The only thing is he has many symptoms so not sure what to chose And not sure what dosage of potassium and magnesium

Worth the money!

This is exactly what I needed. I have been battling with stomach issues for the last 7 years and no one could ever tell me what’s wrong. I was always told there nothing is wrong and to just take an probiotic. I took a gamble and brought this amazing book and feel confident that these protocols will help me. Thanks so much for writing this and helping people get back to a normal life.

Informative, teachable og easy to read. Thank you !

Glad to have the various conditions (are they all pretty much one overarching disease exacerbated by lifestyle resulting in autoimmune conditions that have various names?) in one place - along with the various recommendations for vitamin/supplement amounts.

There was good information but not as much new material as I expected to see got the price.

Very detailed document and very helpful.

Your document is loaded with information and certainly worth the price. The only improvement would be to make the document searchable.

Contained all the info i needed to get started. Given the lack of help and support from the nhs with identifying my issues and managing them this has been a wonderful resource. I especially rate the fact guidance has been given for using products not sold by them too.

Good information!

Thank you very much for the important information!

Great job, Elliot!!! Excellent overview with all the basics presented in a clear and organized way... many thanks!

Brilliant. Practical applications instead of theory. Thank you very much.

Excellent book! Provides all the details on how to correctly take thiamine specifically for your condition. My conditions are fibromyalgia and also constiption. So glad I bought this. Now I know how much to take, when to take it and other vitamins and minerals that work together to get the best effect. Thank you Elliot for writing this!

Every part of the protocol was very detailed and well explained. I had started the thiamine protocol but still had doubts about the dosages and the co-factors and this solved all of my questions. Very useful guide. I hope more updates come in the future.

I wasn't able to download my order in time and now it says its deleted 😒 please resend

I read Dr. Lonsdale and Marrs book. I found their book way more accurate and helpful and complete and science based. I actually bought this book by accident. I thought it was written by Dr. Marrs. When I opened it and noticed it was written by Overton, I started looking for somewhere to return it. I could not find such a place so just had to chalk it up to a lesson learned. If there is a way to return this, I would like to.

I am very impressed with the depth of knowledge contained within the report. Thank You Eliott.

Very helpful information. I was a patient of Dr. Derrick Lonsdale over 10 years ago. I lost all the information and protocols he provided me with. This information is a breath of fresh air!

Very insightful and exactly what I was looking for. This comes closest to having one on one consults with an expert without actually having one.

I had mine printed out where I could read it like a book. I am glad to have a reference guide on this protocol

Great reference material !

Elliott does a great job educating people about that. Much of the information you find on his you tube channel, but to have it in a structured, methodical and precise way, I recommend this document

Quite a lot of money! I can only hope that it will prove to be a good investment?

Very easy to read & comprehend!

Very Helpful and Useful as a Guide

It is not possible to search throw the document. The register is not in synch with Adobe page number and its not possible to click on a register headline and go there. I use an Android tablet.

wonderful to have this information available to be possibly printed out in a hand-touchable form. i find it thorough. helps tremendously for navigating the ups and downs of paradoxical reactions and the slow buildup of taking the vitamin and accessory vitamins. thank you so much for all your work.

To bad you can´t buy supplement from your web site, atm. I would appreciate a notification when it´s up again.

It was very helpful!

Very good informations. It is still not clear for me how to apply it. I also would love to understand more why we use combination of the different thiamine forms, if TTFD spreads everywhere. This is confused for me. Thank you if you can make a post on this, or a video on why it is important to do a combination of them. Thank you for the beautiful work

Excellent work on thiamine! You deserve congratulations! (But I consider that the price is a bit high, in comparison with other similar books)

Unfortunately it didn't mention anything about intramuscular b1 injections which is the reason I bought it. Most of the information it does contain is freely available online, with the exception of the protocols. I did like the clean formatting and page design. It also contains a summary of the different types of oral b1 therapies available. I do like all the information that he provides free of charge on his YouTube videos. So I see this purchase more like a donation for his hard work in general and that's why I won't ask for a refund. As a stand alone ebook I feel it is way overpriced. But I do think he's genuinely trying to help people and making an effort to provide correct health information which has become quite rare. So that's a plus

I thought I would learn more about interactions and cofactors, but it was a good read. I liked the plan for the sensitive generic prescription.

Content and presentation is excellent. When I purchased it, however, I assumed it would be printable ( which technically it is) but I fear, with all the blocks of coloured background, it will use a LOT of ink. I really wanted to print it out because I struggle to read text on a screen and like to have a hard copy to highlight and make notes on. It's also good to pick up at any time and read without having to turn my computer on. Please let me know if there is a way I can print it out. Otherwise, great work Elliott. Your work is so appreciated and always of a very high standard.

This document is excellent. I am glad I purchased it. It seems like after some trial and error, it has helped me get back on track. Maybe this is just me, but i found myself wanting a bit more detail dedicated to paradoxical reactions. More specifics, more symptoms, is it best to keep going, slow down or stop. Plus the symptoms of cofactor deficiency are all similar and overlap. I know that this is probably true, but it is hard to navigate a potential need for a cofactor if the symptom you are having shows up under 4-5 cofactors. Overall, it seems I am beginning to figure it out slowly, but these were just my thoughts from my struggles in the beginning.

Hi Elliot, It answered all my initial questions, then of course questions arise when you read and when you start doing the protocol. Helpful chapters about diseases/symptoms/testing/supplements suggestions! It is a huge and complex subject, where do you draw the line…? The document needs proofreading. Best Martin

It is amazing! I can't wait to try it. Started today with two other people.

Need info on being an overmethylater with cfs. I am one and dont know how to address side effects. Loved having energy for 1st tine in 35 yrs but having trouble with the increase in my essential tremors! Definetly need help but whefe to get it.??

The document gave me confidence that I am dosing correctly and that I am not mistaken in my diagnosis. Also, I have a friend who was interested in trying the Thiamine protocol for his Parkinson's and I was able to warn him that he needs to have a health practitioner to do the therapy. I still have side effects, so I have a way to go, but I am very hopeful that this therapy has merit.

I really respect your work and was surprised to see specific protocols for so many different diseases. There are so many desperate SIBO patients out there spending years of their lifes and a lot of money on unsuccessful treatments and I wish that you could present the treatment plan for SIBO patients for free to a broader public.

It has so much detailed information, very helpful!! It’s worth the money Forsure!! Thank you Elliott 😊

Well laid out document explaining the mechanisms of action of high dose thiamine therapy together with example protocols and the different forms of B1. I find the section on supporting nutrients and supplements most helpful. Highly recommend getting this guide before starting B1 therapy.

This document has truly helped save my husband’s life! When he received the diagnosis that he has Gastroparesis, his doctor said there was no cure but to manage it, he had to eat frequent smaller meals. I didn’t accept this, and went searching on the internet. I ran across a video Elliot did about thiamine deficiency and I was floored by the information he provided. So I bought his protocol and was so happy that I did! It’s packed full of information and I learned so much. I even gave my husband’s doctor a copy and I pray that he will take time to read it and get educated himself. So grateful to Elliot for these documents. They are simply brilliant! Thank you!!!

So incredibly informative and helpful, can't thank you enough!

This is a very useful guide to introducing thiamine supplementation. Thank you for making it available. I especially appreciate the coverage of other supplements that work with thiamine and typical symptoms when a deficiency may be present.

Can’t find ‘part 2’ p34. Complete Basic Protocol Package. Difficult to learn of what’s in each bottle. Label not clear on printed PDF.

Thank you for making this available to the lay public. After having Covid, I was not myself. I worked with functional medicine and restored a gut imbalance, but still wasn’t quite right. I am a dentist who also has a degree in nutrition…it dawned on me that my symptoms sounded a lot like deficiency. I have begun protocols immediately and hope to see improvements soon. I will be passing your information on to any provider who will listen…which, in the US, is unfortunately a tall order. Thank you again for this thorough and thoughtful protocol.

I am just starting on my thiamine journey and this document has helped me tremendously. I know if I have any questions I can also get answers from Elliott on the Facebook page. I am hopeful I will find a solution to my constipation problem.

Helped me immensely after metronidazole toxicity.

I have been self-treating chronic health issues for a long time and have made great progress thanks to internet podcasts, groups, videos and blogs. I now have what feels like the one last hurdle and I'm hoping B1 is the missing piece. I wanted to further educate myself about B1 and felt the pdf could be useful. I checked protocols for leaky gut and Sibo (I have H2S Libo - large intestine bacterial overgrowth - but the advice is often the same) and decided to focus mainly on Leaky gut, having made a lot of progress with Libo, although I may also try some of Elliot's recommended supplements for Sibo. When taking 100mg of Thiamine my loss of appetite came back and eating the same diet I started to feel a little slimmer (good indication to me that I need B1) but at 50mg I have returned to my usual loss of appetite. I'm hoping that by following the protocol in the pdf I will be able to increase to 100mg and possibly higher if needs be. If I can rebalance my gut heath, so that I no longer have to avoid a HUGE list of foods I react to I will be very happy. The pdf can't substitute for having personal consultations but as Elliot is fully booked it's definitely a great way to learn more about how to self-treat with B1. I tend to be very comfortable with trying things and seeing how my body reacts but if you prefer clear advice from a Practitioner, this pdf format may not be for you

Such a valuable document. Thank you!

Information is clearly and accurately presented. Both laypeople and health professionals should find it helpful.

Excellent, well researched and presented. An incredibly helpful protocol - distilling Dr Derrick Longdale’s complex work into easy and actionable steps. Elliot has taken this work even further by biochemically noting all interactions when supplementing with TTFD and other types of Thiamine, therefore helping to mitigate any of the paradoxical effects…. Something that I really struggled with in the early days. I believe this downloadable protocol will help change the lives of many.

This is an invaluable guide for anyone intending doing high dose thiamine therapy. It is packed full of practical guidance of what you need, how to use it and a guide to recognize and mitigate other nutrient requirements through the journey of the thiamine treatment. It's essentially the practical guide based on the decades of research done by Dr Lonsdale. So much research has been digested and formulated into this guide by Elliott. I would highly suggest this guide. Please also watch Elliott's YouTube videos and read his blog posts as they are also very helpful.

Thank you for expounding on this important information and adding your protocols. However, I wish in future editions you would explain your reasoning behind the recommendations.....

Still studying the protocol. Only regret is that I did not purchase it earlier on my thiamine journey. Very appreciative of the research and deep dive offered by Elliot Overton.

Very helpful document! I love the section on the paradoxical symptoms. My son absolutely needed 1-2 of the co-nutrients and it was his symptoms while ramping up, that lead me to those co-nutrients. He literally immediately responded to them with improvement.

This is a complete, clear and comprehensive guide to use Thiamine! Thanks Elliot for making it and putting in the enormous amount of work.

I do not have a cell phone, am not on Facebook or other social media outlets therefore am not able to get into my paid e-book on Thiamine Deficiency protocols. Furthermore, your web site e-mail will not accept my e-mail to you about this problem. Please advise. Thank you, Georgiana

Amazing document with everything you need.

I appreciate the information, but I don't think it was worth the almost $70. Very expensive

I appreciate the work this man does, but I had no idea I had to buy so many other supplements to make B1 work. The protocols call for endless other supplements as cofactors. I just gave up reading. I thought it was about megadosing B1.

Thanks to several sources including Elliot Overton I have been able to understand that lack of thiamine has caused many problems in my body. However what was needed was a clear protocol on how to address the issue. That is what this document provides. It is very detailed, including alternatives if one approach does not seem to work. It addresses a number of manifestations of the deficiency, including ther vitamins and minerals that may help. I am very glad that I purchased this document.

I was expecting to get specific information about how to manage thiamine deficiency dosing. There is a section on this and from a glance it looks good. But when you get down into it, there isn't any clear guidance, just a long list of supplements. Why do you have benfotiamine and TTFD and Thiamine HCL in the same protocol? There isn't any information or specifics about that. This appears to be a dump of all the slides that EO has created for many different lectures all dumped into a pdf, but without any explanations of the meaning of those slides. I didn't get what I was looking for. And this is a SUPER expensive "book" compared to all the others. Dr Lonsdale's thiamine book would have been a far better buy for about the same price.

I’ve been feeling below par with chronic health issues for years, explored many allopathic and alternative approaches and even trained to a high level in bio-psycho-social wellbeing myself as a result of my debilitating symptoms. Tears of joy fell when I discovered Elliot’s protocols. Consequently, I’m both hopeful and optimistic about the future. The pdf download is straightforward and practically laid out. It is simple enough for a lay person to understand. There’s no filler or waffle and I devoured the lot in a single sitting with a notepad and pen to jot dot the key info I needed. It felt very good to be able to self-manage and actively support myself in this way. A further benefit was the cost – the content provides opportunity to save hundreds if not thousands of pounds that may easily be spent consulting a clinical ecologist. Often sick people don’t have the knowledge and funds to truly start to reverse their disease and here Elliot presents a Godsend in the form of an attractive do-able way to health restoration and an end to misery and suffering. A price cannot be placed on that. I wholeheartedly recommend Elliot Overton’s exquisite work and see it as gold standard for individuals and healthcare providers alike; feeling indebted and grateful.

That document taught and helped me so much. I didn't know I take Thiamine the wrong way all the time. Now I improved it and we will see a difference.

You have to purchase Elliot's Mega Protocol, it is a bargain. It is comprehensive, extensive and flexible to suit your symptoms/condition. He goes above and beyond, Elliot is very generous with the information he has provided. Its a goldmine!

Extremely helpful. This was thorough and laid out well enough for anyone to understand. His videos and protocol has helped me recover from many symptoms of B1 deficiency.

I love this! It is so worth the money I had debated spending. I love that it provides guidance for replenishing thiamine for different ailments which call for different approaches. I love that it provides guidance on symptoms one might experience as they replenish thiamine and what other nutrients might be needed based on these symptoms. Highly recommend!

I have found very specific protocols for symptoms with which I have been dealing. There is more in this report than what I was able to learn in Elliott's various videos. I'm glad I purchased this.

A life-saving information in a compact format. I'm sure this knowledge should be widely studied and applied by the future generations of doctors.

The document is very interesting and helps a lot. Thank you so much for creating and sharing it. However, I would have liked to know if certain supplements (sulbutiamine, benfotiamine ...) should be taken during meals or not. This may be the only thing missing from the document. Sincerely Charlotte SNOECK

I am very pleased with this protocol. It is clear, to the point, very well explained and it is helping me see the bigger picture I strongly recommend for anyone who is lost regarding their health

Clear presentation of facts and helpful advice.

Excellent product, clear concise, and helpful. Able to access product at a later date after I addressed my printer issues.

Finding this instrumental to the protocol I am now following, with great optimism!

very useful clinically

Excellent document, among other things describing supplements per ailment/diease. Your work is super, Elliot! Best regards from Berit in Norway

The ingredients that you have mentioned are very helpful for both me ( having high blood pressure) and for my wife ( she has heart arrhythmia). Thanks for your efforts

Absolutely amazing information. Years of research and experience in one document. Invaluable!
