Vitamin B Deficiency Treatment: How to Dose B-Complex Vitamins for Healing

Vitamin B Deficiency: Health Problems, Disorders, and Syndromes Caused by Vitamin B Deficiency

Types of Vitamin B Deficiencies There are a variety of health problems that can be attributed to a deficiency in these essential vitamins. The B vitamins all work together in the body to perform many important functions, including energy production, the growth and function of cells throughout the whole body, the production of neurotransmitters and hormones, the formation of red blood cells, and more. Because all of the B vitamins are water soluble, this means that they can’t be stored in the body for prolonged periods of time. Most B vitamins leave the body relatively quickly, though some (like vitamin B6) may be stored in the body for up to 30 days after ingestion. Other vitamins (like vitamin B3) are cleansed from your system within less than an hour! Nevertheless, because B vitamins le...

Vitamin B Deficiency Disorders: Myocarditis, Venous Thromboembolism, and Other Post-COVID Vaccine Cardiovascular Problems

Orthomolecular Myocarditis Treatment and Vitamin Therapy for Cardiovascular Problems Venous thromboembolism and venous sinus thrombosis both refer to blood clotting in the brain that can lead to seizures, stroke, and other similarly serious problems. Cardiomyopathies like myocarditis are related to these, as are most other cardiovascular problems. Dyslipidemia, or a buildup of fats in the blood, is generally considered a risk factor for venous thromboembolism and other cardiovascular problems, so treatments that can reduce fat accumulation in the blood are considered therapeutic and preventative for people who already have this health problem or who are at risk of developing blood clotting disorders or cardiovascular disease.  Vitamin B5, otherwise known as pantothenic acid, has bee...

Multiple Sclerosis and Vitamin B Deficiency: The Connection Between Nutrition and MS

Can a nutrient deficiency cause multiple sclerosis? Eggs, free-range/grass-fed meats, and goat's milk are all healthy sources of thiamine and riboflavin. Dark leafy green vegetables, nuts, and legumes are also good choices. Vitamins B1 and B2, thiamine and riboflavin, both play important roles in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Some people have in the past speculated that MS may be caused by an overgrowth of Candida in the gastrointestinal tract, which is in fact one of the risk factors for the development of a deficiency in these vitamins since Candida overgrowth can interfere with gastrointestinal absorption of nutrients. Thus, orthomolecular treatment of MS should ideally be administered in combination with an anti-candida, healing diet rich in fresh produce and other whole in...

Autism and Vitamin B Deficiency: Orthomolecular Therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorders

How to Use B Vitamins to Reduce Autism Symptoms Naturally The Origami of Autism: Transforming 2-Dimensional Thinking about ASD into 3-Dimensional Solutions - BUY HERE! Once classified as a single disorder, autism is now viewed along a spectrum. Children on the autism spectrum may exhibit problems with communicating (both verbally and nonverbally), understanding other people’s communication, and may not approach developmental milestones as quickly or as soon as other children. They may also be “socially awkward” to varying degrees (having trouble with concentration, maintaining eye contact, learning and following socially acceptable behaviors, etc). A large number of scientific studies and anecdotal reports indicate that autism and nutritional deficiencies go hand-in-hand. Children...

Vitamin B1 Deficiency Symptoms: The Connection Between Dry Beriberi and Guillain-Barré Syndrome

Beans, lentils, sunflower seeds, natural yogurt, nuts, and green peas, are all good sources of vitamin B1 (thiamine). Is Guillain-Barre a Vitamin Deficiency? Vitamin B1 deficiency, sometimes known as beriberi, has sometimes been known to cause symptoms that are remarkably similar to Guillain-Barre Syndrome. In one case, a woman with severe dry beriberi was misdiagnosed with GBS, but then later (after not responding to conventional IVIG therapy) showed a complete recovery shortly after receiving intravenous thiamine (vitamin B1) treatments. Other patients previously diagnosed with GBS also have experienced improvement from their symptoms when given intravenous thiamine.  There are three main kinds of vitamin B1 deficiency: dry beriberi, wet beriberi, and gastrointestinal beriberi....

Vitamin B12 Deficiency: What People Need to Know 

Everything You Need to Know about Vitamin B12 Deficiency We became vitamin B12 deficient when we were traveling abroad in Malaysia in 2018. It began slowly and progressed over time. Initially, we were just tired and lethargic, but that developed into gastrointestinal problems including chronic constipation and diarrhea. All of us had different problems, as it is with most vitamin deficiency issues. John struggled with his stomach and digestion while I struggled with my mood and thinking. Lydian was tired all the time. And then one day, I started reading about vitamin B12 deficiency and dementia for an uncle who had been diagnosed recently with Lewy Body Dementia and realized as I was reading books and research articles that my own family had a lot of these symptoms. I’d thought we were im...

The Role of Vitamins and Minerals in the Treatment of COVID and Long-Haul COVID

How to Use Vitamins to Prevent COVID-19, Treat COVID Cytokine Storm, and to Reclaim Your Health after Long COVID There are many diseases and illnesses that are either brought on or made worse by deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals.

Vitamin C, B Complex, Magnesium, Methylene Blue, Mucuna, and NAC for Parkinson’s and Lewy Body Dementia

Methylene Blue for Dementia: A Protocol That Stops Alzheimer's in Its Tracks... Mucuna and NAC are two powerful medicines for patients with Lewy Body Dementia or Parkinson's Disease. My uncle was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia just shortly after Robin Williams took his own life as a result of this disease and the symptoms it causes. My uncle’s wife is a nurse, so she was familiar with Parkinson’s, but despite having close relationships with doctors at the hospital where she’d worked her whole life, she still knew of nothing that could help her husband with Lewy Body Dementia.  The idea that Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s Disease are related disorders isn’t common knowledge, but it’s an important fact if you’re searching for treatment options for Lewy Body Dementia. These...

Vitamin K2 and Vitamin D3 for Bone Remineralization and Cardiovascular Health: Cure Osteoporosis and Arteriosclerosis 

Prevent Osteoporosis and Cardiovascular Disease with Vitamin K2 and Vitamin D3 Supplements Humans have a difficult relationship with calcium. We know that we need this mineral, but despite drinking tons of milk and taking calcium supplements in huge doses, we still end up with osteoporosis and dental cavities. What gives? If you really think about calcium and how the dairy industry promotes milk as the end-all cure for osteoporosis, you might notice that people who drink a lot of milk are far from immune to this disease. In fact, people who drink milk are predisposed to developing osteoporosis, according to The China Study, the largest nutritional study ever conducted in the world. How is this possible? Watch Forks Over Knives for more information about why drinking milk won’t save you fr...
