Is B1 the answer to help with Parkinsons?

Ageing… on the 1st January 2023 the World Health Organisation officially signed off “Ageing” as a disease. Long overdue.

Just think about it. Cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular problems, Parkinsons Disease and Alzheimers Disease to name but a few, are afflictions that affect us as we grow older. How many 20 year olds have Parkinsons for instance?

Clearly therefore, if we can stop ageing, or even reverse it, the chances of getting these diseases are negligible!

Furthermore, there is definitely no single pill that will ever produce a solution to Parkinsons. As time moves on there are moves we can make to improve the impacts of Parkinsons (such as exercise). Trials continue on various options, and the most likely solution will involve stem cell therapy.

However, one partial solution we’ve come across recently is vitamin B1 supplementation.

This is the background…

In 2011, the Italian neurologist Dr. Antonio Costantini began treating his Parkinson’s patients with high doses of vitamin B1 and saw many of their symptoms improve, with no obvious progression in the disease over the five years he worked with them.

Sadly Dr. Costantini died of Covid in May 2020, robbing the world of another great man. However, fortunately, one of his patients (Daphne Bryan) had five years of this treatment very successfully.

Daphne had the gumption to put her experiences with B1 into a book, for which the world must thank her. Furthermore, when you see her interviewed, she has no obvious Parkinsons symptoms whatsoever.

Daphne Bryan interview

Daphne was interviewed in July 2022 on the No Silver Bullet platform. In both book and video she talks about B1 therapy’s protocol, its difficulties, and its successes.

Dicky’s Summary

Anyone with Parkinsons at somewhere over a decade will recognise the symptoms Daphne talks about. They will also recognise how NON-PARKINSONS she looks in her interview. If a simple dose of B1 Thiamine can be that effective, I’m giving it a go. Importantly, she says that you can’t overdose on B1, so while an incorrect dosage may be no good, it shouldn’t be harmful either. I’ve ordered some slow release patches already and can’t wait to get started.

The Detail

Dr Costantini’s research was published in 2016 in the NRR Neural Regeneration Research Online Journal HERE

There was an earlier study published in 2013 on B1 Thiamine use for Parkinsons published on National Library of Medicine HERE.
