Dr Eades on thiamin and kidney function
Quote:
I received a short paper from a colleague in Portugal a couple of days ago that demonstrates in just a few pages how science should really work.
The paper from the journal Diabetologia reports on a study done in Pakistan showing that high-dose thiamin (vitamin B1) may be a valuable therapeutic agent in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. This small study certainly isn’t the final word, but it does show how medical science should work.
First, the paper starts off in the introductory paragraphs discussing how the idea for high-dose thiamine therapy came about. Before we get into that, however, let me digress briefly to discuss diabetic nephropathy for those who are unfamiliar with it.
