DS Haven In Light Of Things
Vitamin B1 sits at the center of two things your body cannot function without: cellular energy and nerve communication. This clip explains how thiamine helps enzymes turn carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into ATP, while also supporting action potentials and neurotransmitter signaling between neurons. When B1 runs low, both energy production and neurological function can start to break down.

What If Parkinson’s Is Also An Energy Metabolism Problem?
Parkinson’s is often framed around dopamine, but this clip looks deeper at what may be happening inside the cell. Oxidative stress, inflammation, chronic infection, and environmental toxins can interfere with key thiamine-dependent enzymes involved in energy production, including pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. That raises a bigger question about whether impaired B1-dependent metabolism is part of the disease process itself.
