Re: (ANDY) benfotiamine/allicin version of allithiamine

[Guest guest]

Try oral thiamine several times a day, then if that is not good enough

try some benfotiamine or the allicin version of allithiamine. Do NOT

use any more TTFD until every other possibility has been tried.

Andy,

What would be the dose of oral thiamine for a 28 pound, 2 1/2 year old?

And are benfotiamine and the allicin version of allithiamine available

only through prescription?

My son has a script for TTFD that our DAN doc wants us to try for a

month, followed by a toxic metals test. I'm guessing you're against

this judging from your recent posts! Do you think DMSA is safer? Not

sure why you're calling TTFD " poison " I know it's a complicated

issue/answer, but a little insight would help a lot. SO many

contradictory opinions out there.

Thanks,

Dr. Megson in Richmond, Va prescribed TTFD (Authia cream) and

Glutathione(not sure I spelled correctly) for my 4 yrs old son and we

are using it from more than one month. We did not see any bad

reaction. All we are seeing is good improvement in language, in

social situations and general awareness but again this is its effect

on my son and every kid is different.

Some people don't. Most people survive playing Russian Roulette, too.

That doesn't mean either TTFD or Russian Roulette are good ideas.

This is the most common positive report.

For people who want their shot at getting this kind of positive

response without the substantial risk of severe long term worsening of

symptoms and appearance of scary new ones, all they have to do is try

every OTHER form of thaimine available other than TTFD. The

tetrahydrofurfuryl mercaptan in the TTFD isn't magic, it is poison.

The thiamine is what provides the benefits and that is available in

many forms.

10-25 mg.

They are both over the counter, no Rx reqired.

Correct. In fact I would say that this alone means your doctor doesn't

really have a clue and you'd do better to find another one or do it on

your own.

> Do you think DMSA is safer?

Not only is it far safer, but it also removes heavy metals which TTFD

does not. In fact, Lonsdale's abstract as thoughtfully posted on this

list by Binstock suggests TTFD REDUCES heavy metal excretion.

> Not sure why you're calling TTFD " poison "

Because it is a poison.

> I know it's a complicated issue/answer,

This part isn't.

TTFD is thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide - thiamine and

tetrahydrofurfuryl mercaptan linked through their sulfurs.

The body quickly splits them apart.

Tetrahydrofurfuryl mercaptan (what is split off of TTFD) is poison.

The amount that gets into the body is clearly enough to do damage since

about 20% of the kids given it have adverse reactions of serious long

term worsening of condition, and more fail to tolerate it well.
