[QUOTE="Soundgen, post: 91568, member: 21269"] hi there , none of the "facts " I have posted came from the benfotiamine.org site , in fact I hadn't even known of it , it certainly doesn't appear in the first few of google searches , I wonder about deficiencies of the other B vitamins as well , without adequate B1 in our bodies we can't convert ordinary B12 into methyB12 which the body uses , folic acid is also very important and I do know people ( non diabetic ) who have folate deficiency although they eat well . B1 is an esential vitamin for the methylation process which produces methyB12 in the body , and then methylB12 is used in folic acid cycles to produuce other methylated products which are important in preventin neuropathy . The medical profession seem not to take vitamin deficieny into account ever , I think the the basic stance is that no one with a reasonable diet can be lacking in B vitamins ( and probably others ) , I guess this tends to be true unless you are a vegan , but I am clearly deficient in B1 as my blood glucose level shows And big pharma isn't interested in vitamins or indeed herbal remedies they don't make mega bucks [/QUOTE]
