I'd like to point out that while the resolution of a #chronicillness was striking, what is more striking is the rapid descent into Wernicke's in a hospitalized 90 yo woman - a descent so striking that she went into respiratory distress necessitating a #ventilator. 1/

Upon giving #IVthiamine per a #wernickesprotocol at 200mg 3X p/d she woke up, after just 2 days of thiamine treatment, and the ventilator was removed. What could this tell us about the use of thiamine in #COVID19? Perhaps the cluster symptoms we see are really just a variation 2/

thiamine deficiency - one that is being missed by practitioners everywhere because we're not looking at the #mitochondria for answers. 3/

When we consider that most of the severe cases involve those with pre-existing #metabolic disruptions - e.g. mitochondrial issues, it is not so difficult to get from #COVID, #hypoxia, #hypoxemia to #brain and #mitochondrial distress. 4/

And when we do that - we always come back to thiamine. Other nutrients are also important - but high dose thiamine is key. I'll post this graphic once again for reference. 5/

Top of all processing pathways and throughout the #citricacidcyle what nutrient do you see most frequently? Thiamine.
Consider high dose thiamine, plus an IV nutrient bag (banana bag) for Covid -- please.
Seriously, what have you to lose? 6/

And one more thing - go back and review the symptoms for the different types of beriberi and then look at the symptoms of wernicke's - then look at your cases. How many of them fit?
Or look at the wildly different presentations of mitochondrial dysfunction. 7/

I bet you see more commonalities than you expect and when you do, it lands you right back at thiamine.
End of sermon.
