MORE ABOUT THIAMINE

Thiamine is another name for Vitamin Bl. This vitamin is very important in medicine because it stops the deleterious effects of alcohol on the nervous system. Without thiamine alcoholics loose the capacity to lay down short term memories. Their brain's balance centre deteriorates and they loose the motor and sensory enervation to their arms and legs.
Alcoholism and end stage Vitamin B1 deficiency produces a condition known as Werneckie's Encephalopathy. The terminal alcoholic - cannot remember his immediate whereabouts in either time or space. They make up big implausible stories to fill in the blank spots of their memory and they have a great deal of difficulty with coordination and walking in a straight line. Many of these men end up in chronic mental hospitals and this fate is entirely preventable.

Home Remedies
It is often impossible to stop alcoholics from drinking but it is not impossible for relatives and friends of alcoholics to ensure that they receive a daily dose of Vitamin Bl. Only one hundred milligrams of thiamine is needed each day to prevent Wernecke's Encephalopathy. Debate arises from time to time as to the need for adding Vitamin В1 to the nations alcohol supply. This cheap, ineffective form of intervention would save millions of dollars in hospital expenditure and decrease substantially from the nations sum total of human misery.
