In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about the hidden deficiency in a condition called POTS or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. This condition involves the inability to tolerate different positions or spike in pulse rate which is related to the dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. The POTS symptoms are very similar to another condition called Beri Beri which is a vitamin B1 (Thiamine) deficiency.
Symptoms of POTS:
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Pain / Fibromyalgia
• Neurological Tingling of the Feet and Hands
• Anxiety, Depression
Cause of Vitamin B1 Deficiency:
• Consuming a lot of refined sugars and carbohydrates
• Stress – Anything that would shock the system or stresses that could specifically deplete vitamin B1.
Erythrocyte Transketolase – The test to determine if it’s a subclinical deficiency and this measures the function of the B1 in the body.
