Information is published in the medical literarure (Thornalley). It does not cross the blood/brain barrier whereas the disulfide derivatives do, Therefore the disulfides should have benefit in brain disease. I have been working with thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide (Alinamin: Fursultiamine) in patients since 1973 and at huge doses, have not seen any toxicity (see "An Unusual Recovery" (blog). The principle is different from "drug treatment". All thiamine derivatives work by "boosting" cellular energy, hence the sick cells tend to recover and work more efficiently.

It is however possible for patients to easily get hold of Sulbutiamine, which can apparently cross the blood-brain barrier. I wondered if this could be a useful alternative?<br /><br />Do you think (theoretically) that there would be any issues with a T1 diabetic taking Sulbutiamine, and do you think it would be a good idea to take it alongside benfotiamine as they appear to have different effects (one acts on the CNS and the other on peripheral tissues).<br /><br />Also do you think it's possible for fat soluble thiamine derivatives to build up to toxic levels at doses of say 200mg a day?<br /><br />Thanks for any information you could offer.<br /><br />BillyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
