Guest guest Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 According to this link Thiamine may increase the growth of tumors in Cancer patients. Benfotiamine may do this, I am doing research before taking it for neruopathy. FYI http://www.benfotiamine.org/excessthiamine.htm ________________________________ From: " Rosebookay@... " Have you tried a product called Benfotamine? You buy it online. It is specifically for neuropathy - several BVitamins and other stuff. I have had success.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Al, Let me know your findings. I received this email as I was about to purchase Benfotiomine. The article is over 10 years old though Thanks Dan From: Al Hurt Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2009 3:56 PM According to this link Thiamine may increase the growth of tumors in Cancer patients.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I will. I am seeing my oncologist for my four and one half year check up next week. I will ask him what he thinks. I do not use his opnion over my own research though. Keep in touch, Al From: Sokolski Al, Let me know your findings. I received this email as I was about to purchase Benfotiomine.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 600 mg of ALA is probably not a sufficient dose to reverse or alleviate neuropathy. Sometimes you need to go as high as 1,800- 2,400 mg a day to see results. when one sees substential improvement, dose can be cut down. please take note that prolonged use of ALA especially at high doses need to be supplemented with B-complex, as it strips the body of certain B vitamins.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I would like to add, make sure its an all natural ALA, if not marked its half natural and half synthetic. Country Life , Biochem has a R-Lipoic acid which is all natural. The R in front means natural. On the other hand, synthetic source nutrients may provide initial cellular benefits, but over time, they act to accelerate the degeneration of DNA, ending in earlier cell death. Synthetic nutrients initially stimulate the cell to accomplish work which may appear to be beneficial, but long-term, the DNA and cellular degradation cannot justify the initial benefits. Consequently, using ALA derived from a synthetic source can defeat the purpose of using an ALA supplement to live longer more healthfully. Not only has a stable form of DHLA been badly needed, but also a DHLA source that has been derived from a " once living " source so it is capable of imparting significant, long-term DNA protection and cellular benefits.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Since there is also evidence that magnesium supplementation can cut down and/or delay and prevent neuropathy caused by oxipalatin people should be using magnesium on a daily basis. Topically applied magnesium chloride has been shown to increase blood levels of magnesium faster and more effectively than oral tablets. IV magnesium could be used but it would be so much easier to use magensium oil as a topical application, or to add it to baths, which also are frequently recommended to people with neuropathies. This would increase vascular circulation, decrease pain, and bring magnesium levels up if you are deficient. You might want to try some magnesium oil. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15217938 Besides the fact that some chemotherapy drugs cause a depletion of magnesium in our bodies, Dr. Sircus has written about the relationship of magneisum to cancer and how it acts as a necessary protector against cancer cells. See the chapters on this in Winning the War Against Cancer book: " It is known that carcinogenesis induces magnesium distribution disturbances, which cause magnesium mobilization through blood cells and magnesium depletion in non-neoplastic tissues. Magnesium deficiency seems to be carcinogenic, and in case of solid tumors, a high level of supplemented magnesium inhibits carcinogenesis.
