DS Haven In Light Of Things
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.

How B1 Problems Can Hide In The Brain While Blood Tests Look Normal
A normal blood or urine test may still miss a thiamine problem that is localized to a specific part of the brain. This clip explains how researchers have reported region-specific or functional B1 abnormalities in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and other neurodegenerative conditions, including problems with transporting thiamine into vulnerable brain tissue. It also looks at animal research using high-dose B1 with biotin, and why these findings have led to further human investigation.
