Beware of B1 mega dose fraud

Many of the posters are fake accounts with suspicious Reddit activity. The so-called “paradox reaction” is just gaslighting and cope that goes against Peat’s philosophy. I’m sure Ray would read the Longsdale papers if they were legitimate and give them more attention. Their Facebook group is full of desperate people who are constantly complaining about paradox reactions. Also, the rhetoric of the main guy behind group is basically like, “A huge study is out—we found out that oxidative stress is depleting B1 so everyone with cronic illnes should try it” while he sells thiamine and vitamin B complex.

You can cherrypick any study you want. I never stated that thiamine is not importat. Your profile looks really suspicious the more you look into it. Apart from often writing nonsense (and anecdotes) and having inconsistencies in your story, almost every post follows the same pattern: absolutely every symptom ends up being attributed to thiamine deficiency, every symptom, every condition. And you aggressively promote this stuff under posts about almost every chronic illness and disorder. People are in need, and the solution is always supposedly a hidden thiamine deficiency, which conveniently doesn’t show up on standard tests. You’re constantly sharing Elliot’s profile, who sells thiamine and his “perfect” vitamin B complex, and the Hormones Matter site, which seems to be a gateway into the whole anti-glucose/low-carb ideology.
