Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 This is very true. In almost all of the clients I work with there is ALWAYS an deficit of vitamins, Fatty acids, amino acids and minerals causing stressors. Not just with diabetes clients. Everyone! Malabsorption is a major stressor that causes Dis-Ease in the body.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 A simple vitamin deficiency may be the cause of many of the side effects of diabetes, a study suggests. Researchers found people with the disease expelled thiamine - vitamin B1 - from their bodies at 15 times the normal rate in a study of 94 people. The Warwick University team said thiamine helped ward off complications such as heart disease and eye problems, the Diabetologia journal said. Experts said diet supplements could potentially help people with diabetes. Supplementing diets could be an effective way of minimising the risk of these complications Professor Paul Thornalley, lead researcher It is the first time a deficiency of the vitamin, which is found in meat, yeast and grains, has been identified in people with diabetes. It has been missed in the past because of the way thiamine levels were measured. Traditionally, the activity of an enzyme called transketolase in red blood cells has been used to indicate thiamine levels. But the researchers found that increased activity - usually a sign of high thiamine levels - was also associated with the body's response to deficiency. Instead, the team measured thiamine levels in blood plasma and found concentrations were 76% lower in people with type 1 diabetes and 75% lower in people with type 2. Thiamine is key to warding off vascular problems such as kidney, retina and nerve damage as well as heart disease and stroke. It works by helping protect cells against the effect of high glucose levels. Trials are now being carried out to see if supplementing diet with thiamine could return levels to normal. Diets Lead researcher Professor Paul Thornalley said: " It is early days, but it could have a huge difference. " Supplementing diets could be an effective way of minimising the risk of these complications. " Matt Hunt, of Diabetes UK, which helped to fund the study, said more research was needed. But he added: " The study could potentially have very exciting outcomes. " Around 80% of people with diabetes die of cardiovascular disease and diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in the UK's working age population. " Therefore, any research that could help must be looked at seriously.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I am a diabetic. Among the many supplemets I take, I use Benfotiamine, which is a fat soluble form of Thiamine which gets deep into cells and is less prone to Thiamine overdose.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I agree, We a currently implimenting a gene snp program into Doctors practices. It test your DNA and the panel looks for variations in the genes that are related to nutrition. At that point the Doctor can recommend a suppliment regimin based on your needs. sort of a laser approach to supplimentation.We also offer it online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 As far as I know, there is no such thing as thiamine overdose. B1 is one of the safest vitamin substances that can be taken in gram quantities without any dangerous side effects. As a matter of fact, the EU is considering to exempt vitamin B1, together with a few others, from having to have a maximum dose level set because there is no known toxicity...
