Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor Eric Burg.

I want to share some pretty bizarre symptoms that relate to a B1 deficiency.

The biggest thing you need to know about B1 is that it relates to everything nerve.

Okay, so that includes the brain. So if there's a B1 deficiency, it can really affect all parts of the nervous system.

You see, B1 is necessary to give energy to a very specific cell called the illegal dendro site.

Okay, what the heck is the illegal dendro site?

That is the cell that makes myelin, as in myelin sheet, be coating around the nervous system.

And when that coating breaks down because there's not enough B1, all sorts of things can happen.

And that's when I'm going to cover it today.

Now, how do you become deficient of B1?

Well, by consuming refined sugars, refined carbohydrates, as in the bread, the pasta, cereal crackers, biscuits, waffles, anything with refined grains.

This is why they enrich grains with synthetic vitamins and minerals because it's depleted with certain nutrients.

And then when you consume it, it can deplete you of these nutrients.

Another common thing that will deplete you of B1 is tea that tannins in tea will deplete you of B1, as well as the tannins in coffee, as well as the caffeine in both sulfites in wine, as well as dried fruit.

Okay, and other things as well, alcohol, which is also in wine, raw fish, metformin, chlorine, as in tap water, will do it.

And a lot of medications like an acid antibiotics, especially sipro, diuretics, antidepressants, like the SSRIs, birth control, seizure medications, lupron, which is for endometriosis and conditions that relate to early puberty.

And by the way, that drug has a tremendous monoside effects, and then we have garsal and cervix, which both, if I'm not mistaken, it had been taken off the market, but they both are vaccines for HPB, the human papilloma virus.

Alright, so let's first talk about the first symptom, and this would be a symptom that's related to the cerebellum, okay, the cerebellum, it's the back part of the brain that if you looked at it, it would look very similar to cauliflower, but when you have a very severe deficiency in B1, you get degeneration in the cerebellum.

And the cerebellum controls motor function, it controls certain part of our language, it controls mood and attention, so when you reach out and space to get an object, you're using your cerebellum, when you're walking in your coordinating all the different muscles, you're using your cerebellum.

So when you get a short circuited problem in the cerebellum, an electrical problem, because the myelin is breaking down, you can get Tourette syndrome, and that is like random vocalization of certain things that a person says, as well as random twitching and random motions that are just not under the person's control.
