VITAMIN B1 (thiamin) was discovered 100 years ago, and the troubles caused by its deficiency persecuted mankind for more than 4000 years: even in those early days, Chinese physicians first described the symptoms of the beri-beri disease: nervous and muscular insufficiency, pain, weakness , exhaustion, paralysis. The Chinese eat mostly rice, and it turned out that the higher the degree of rice cleaning from the husks - the higher the danger of getting sick. Adding food to the rice husks returned health. But how much time had to pass so that mankind could find the cause of the disease! Not for nothing that today the most intelligent part of our population regularly consumes at least wheat bran. Thiamin is a heterocyclic compound of the composition C12H18ON4SCl2. Entering the body, it combines with two molecules of phosphoric acid and forms an active group of the enzyme carboxylase. The function of this enzyme consists in decomposition of the most important intermediate product of carbohydrate cleavage - pyruvic
acid, because with its excess in the blood and tissues there are serious disorders in the processes of carbohydrate, fat, mineral and water metabolism: the functions of the central nervous system are disrupted, indispositions, headaches, insomnia appear. The apparent deficiency of vitamin B1 is manifested by polyneuritis and cardiovascular disorders.
Those who are interested can be advised to consider the Krebs cycle, or the glycolysis scheme: as a result, pyruvic acid turns into lactic acid, the surplus of which we call "muscular fatigue". But not only glycolysis (cleavage of glucose or starch) results in lactic acid, there is another recently declassified "source" in the body lactic acid, the fight against which is mainly devoted to this book. No wonder the painful condition is always accompanied by weakness and muscle fatigue, it is also a manifestation in the body of excess lactic acid produced by human parasites.
Thiamine is an indispensable component of the complex, which ensures the copying of the genocode DNA in mitosis (cell division). It provides the transmission of electrical nerve signals. Finally, it is necessary for energy production. Reduce the reserves of thiamine: sugar, alcohol, tobacco, raw fish and raw tea leaves.
