And the main problem of megadosing that for anyone would be it would be imbalanced with something else.

But if you've got a blockage in that something else, now you've just got like a train wreck happening in your mitochondria because you're activating blockages.

one pathway that has to flow through the next one where you had your blockage and it's like that.

So you can go online, for example, and find communities where people are raving about high dose thiamine and the RDA, the government recommended amount of thiamine to get is around like 1.3 milligrams.

There's people out there who are like, oh, everyone should be taking 2000 milligrams per day.

But I saw one case where this happened before I knew the person, but they had fatigue so bad that they couldn't get off the couch.

And so she was self-rating her energy at zero.

And a practitioner said, well, you should really try this high-dose thiamine.

So she went on 1,100 milligrams a day.

So not 2,000, but big, right?

And a lot of people get miracles out of this, and they are vocal.

They make communities on Facebook, and so people get the idea that everyone who tries it is benefiting from it.

But her energy did improve a little bit, but she developed a new, completely new motor dysfunction problem, unsteady gait.

It just kept getting worse the whole time she was taking the thiamine.

She had an existing problem with dizziness that got a lot worse.

And a major issue for her was that she had to clear out the thiamine, but the mitochondrial testing that we did on her basically showed that it explained it because she had a block in the pathways that would be most sensitive to megadosing that supplement.

And so winding that back and re-nourishing those other pathways helped her.

I do think that...

A lot of people, if they're going to go into the wild, wild west of megadosing random supplements, should do their own testing of glucose, ketones, and lactate at home.

A lot of people test their glucose.
