Dr. Richard Mann is a podiatrist who specializes in dealing with nerve problems of the foot. A chance encounter with a patient who improved after taking a vitamin B1 supplement called benfotiamine led him to explore the potential of this nutrient. It’s long been noted that deficiencies of thiamin are associated with nerve problems; in malnourished alcoholics it can lead to a severe brain disorder called Wernicke’s encephalopathy, reversible with thiamin. This has led Dr. Mann to explore the potential for benfotiamine to address neurodegenerative disorders. He recently published a scientific paper in the journal Cureus detailing a case study of a patient with ALS who improved with benfotiamine administration. This is not to claim a breakthrough “cure” for Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s or ALS, but suggests a possible avenue for nutritional intervention that might slow the onslaught of these diseases in the absence of definitive conventional therapies.

Finally a reason to switch your omega-3!
You’ve heard me talk for years about the importance of including fish oil in your supplement regimen—but not all omega-3s are created equal.
I’m excited to share that I’ve made the switch to a formulation that tops all the rest: Big Bold Health’s Omega-3 Rejuvenate is a premium blend of oils from wild-caught Alaskan cod and sockeye salmon.
Using a low heat extraction technique to extract the pure amber oil that contains all-natural and abundant full-spectrum omega-3s, Omega-3 Rejuvenate preserves the natural goodness of the fish, so you get maximum benefits in every soft gel.
