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...

Post HPV Vaccine Syndrome, Autism, and Post COVID Vaccine Syndrome: Cures Derived from Similarities and Differences

Post Gardasil Syndrome, Post COVID Vaccine Syndrome, and Autism Spectrum Disorder Cures Vaccination always produces inflammation. After a person receives a vaccination, immune activation occurs, in part, as a result of this inflammation. Inflammation, in turn, is correlated with pain. In order to understand post-vaccination inflammatory syndromes, it can be helpful to understand how pain is processed in the brain and body. Indeed, in order to understand pain, it is necessary to understand a bit about the autonomic nervous system (ANS). We talk about the ANS in great detail at Alive-N-Healthy because of the role this system plays in balancing basic functions in the body. This chapter deals primarily with the relationships between the development of Post-HPV Vaccine Syndrome following admin...

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 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...
