It works, but it's not Adderall.
The former.is that 1500mg niacinamide and 5000 mcg biotin with each dose of thiamine? Or divided through the day as well?
Hello Mr FosterThe former.
This is the man who was going for a few grams of caffeine a day. Not sure if he's also into base-jumping and running with the bulls. :)How on earth did you manage this? I tried 900mg B1 for a week or so and whilst I was very bright that week (IMHO!), I quickly ran into a cortisol response.
Thiamine increases efficiency of the sugar metabolism, so possibly you weren't eating enough?
Dave has suggested that he eats a lot (5000kcal+ I think).
Would also like to hear any more experience, I plan to try thiamine + biotin. I don't recall Ray suggesting thiamine + thyroid specifically?
I think he mentions the idea twice on radio shows. Once he says something akin to 'I told people to take a little B1 the night before and read the book and then again directly before the exam and I've never know anyone score less than perfectly'. Another time he say's "the right combination of thyroid and B1 can let you have access to everything you've ever known"
Was thinking the same thing!Do you think Dr. Peat uses this combo before his interviews? the man seems to remember everything he's ever read
You didn't eat enough; particularly carbohydrates. TryHow on earth did you manage this? I tried 900mg B1 for a week or so and whilst I was very bright that week (IMHO!), I quickly ran into a cortisol response.
Most of the people who perform these self-experiments are men. Women tend to have more problems with estrogen, as Peat mentions, insufficient calories, and toxic hygiene products (cosmetics).Are there any females out there on these high doses? My perception is the blokes get away with a lot more in this regard due to (probable) youth and/or their intrinsically better liver function.
It's harder to grasp the purpose of these mega-doses if you view them as vitamins. View these vitamins as drugs. They're drugs with very few side effects.When I see the research on B1, I wonder also, at these very high doses why the 'average Jo' on these trials who is sick (eg. Parkinsons) can tolerate them given that they are, presumably, on no special diets or have no particular understandings such as we are working on and likely have done a lot of metabolic damage prior. Is it cellular blockade? Are the huge doses needed because uptake is so poor?
