In this video interview, 22-year-old Ahmed shares his incredible journey of overcoming severe health issues in just one year using a specific vitamin protocol. Prior to starting the protocol, Ahmed had been diagnosed with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and peripheral neuropathy. After trying various doctors and treatments with no success, Ahmed discovered the power of vitamin B1. He started with a B complex, magnesium, and benfotiamine, but later switched to TTFD and found his sweet spot at 20-25 milligrams per day. Ahmed’s symptoms, including brain fog, digestive issues, and pain, improved drastically, allowing him to enjoy life once again.
Key Insights:
- Ahmed, a 22-year-old who was severely undernourished just one year ago, managed to turn his situation around using a specific vitamin protocol.
- Prior to starting the protocol, Ahmed was diagnosed with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and experienced symptoms like fibromyalgia, chronic body pain, peripheral neuropathy, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
- After trying various treatments from both conventional and alternative medicine doctors without success, Ahmed found a nutrient protocol that worked for him.
- He started with a basic thiamine protocol consisting of a B complex, magnesium, and a bioavailable form of vitamin B1 called benfotiamine.
- When benfotiamine stopped working, Ahmed switched to another form called TTFD and eventually settled on a dosage of 20 to 25 milligrams per day.
- Ahmed noticed almost immediate benefits, with improvements in gut health, digestion, brain fog, cognition, fibromyalgia pain, and fatigue.
- He believes that his gut issues may have begun even before he was born, as his mother had a poor diet during pregnancy and he experienced reflux as a baby.
- Ahmed recommends addressing other aspects of life, such as stress and diet, along with the vitamin protocol for optimal results.
- Currently, Ahmed is taking 20 to 25 milligrams of TTFD per day and focusing on improving his overall well-being.
- His story serves as an inspiration for others considering similar vitamin protocols, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to health.

Just one year ago, 22-year-old Ahmed was in a severely undernourished state. Fast forward to today, this is what he looks like. He managed to turn his situation around in one year using this specific vitamin protocol. Prior to starting this vitamin protocol, Ahmed had been diagnosed with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). He also had symptoms of fibromyalgia, chronic body pain, peripheral neuropathy, and chronic fatigue syndrome. He was bed-bound on some days and went through a lot. But he managed to find the solution.
Ahmed’s gut improved, and he was able to digest meat and other food. He no longer experiences fibromyalgia symptoms and doesn’t have pain all over his body anymore. The brain fog and cognitive issues have greatly improved as well. He is now able to enjoy life, read, work out, and socialize.
Ahmed went to many different types of doctors, including conventional and alternative medicine doctors, but none of the prescribed treatments worked. It was only when he found this nutrient and started using it in the right dose that he noticed almost immediate benefits.
Ahmed’s journey was originally shared in a Facebook group addressing thiamine deficiency and the paradoxical reaction.
Ahmed started a very basic thiamine protocol, which consisted of a B complex, magnesium, and a bioavailable form of vitamin B1 called benfotiamine. Later on, he switched to another form called TTFD (thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and settled upon a daily dose of 20 to 25 milligrams, which worked best for him.
Ahmed is planning to continue taking the vitamin protocol for at least six months to allow further recovery for his gut and nervous system.
He advises others who want to try B1 to also focus on improving other aspects of their life, such as diet and reducing stress, as these factors can affect the overall response to the protocol.
Ahmed’s story serves as an inspiration to others who may be on the fence about trying the vitamin protocol. It emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to health and the potential benefits of addressing thiamine deficiency.
