In this video, Dr. Berg talks about sleep apnea, what causes it and what you can do about it. This is a condition affects sleep where the high glucose which depletes vitamin B1 could affect the function of the breathing centers.

I recommend taking B1 (100-500mg) with a natural blend of Bs from nutritional yeast (unfortified).

Symptoms of Low Vitamin B1:
â?¢ Lactic Acidosis â?? pH becomes slightly more acidic.
â?¢ Dyspnea â?? It is difficulty of breathing which is related to something called Beri Beri.
â?¢ SIDS â?? (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) which is related to a severe B1 deficiency in an infant.

Hey guys, so recently I have a question about sleep apnea, what causes it and what can you do about it. This is a condition which really affects someone's sleep. You see this a lot in diabetics, is there a connection? Yes there is. When you have high glucose, high blood sugar, it depletes vitamin B1 that's thiamine. Because vitamin B1 is essential in maintaining normal function of your brain stem especially the breathing centers which connect to a nerve called the phrenic nerve which comes down from the brain stem and goes right into the diaphragm, so the entire diaphragm, the motor control and the function of the movement of the diaphragm is controlled by this one nerve. So if that nerve is cut, your are not gonna be able to breathe. So what happens, this part of the nervous system is under what is called the autonomic nervous system function. The autonomic nervous system works on automatic but you can also influence it too. So right now I can stop breathing if I want and then if I forget to breathe, that autonomic nervous system kick in there and breath for me. When I am sleeping, that system is actually breathes for me so I don't have to think about it. So here's the thing, let's say your spouse is snoring and you hear them stop breathing for a period of time, that is sleep apnea and that is definitely involve in this breathing centers right here. So it is really the high sugar that depletes the vitamin B1 which then you lose the function of the breathing centers, I mean if you take a look at other symptoms of low vitamin b1, you have lactic acidosis that basically is the situation where your pH becomes slightly more acidic and you'll have problems breathing just from that alone. Or there is another condition called dyspnea which is basically difficulty of breathing and is related to something called Beri Beri. What is that? That is a vitamin B1 deficiency but people could have a moderate or subclinical deficiency that might not show up in the blood test but it just gradually go into major deficiency. Also there is another condition called SIDS, sudden infant death syndrome. Where this infant just stops breathing for no reason. That also is related to a severe B1 deficiency in an infant which basically affects the breathing centers. Again, a lot of this information you can find when you study beri beri, or look at the relationship between vitamin B1 deficiency and SIDS. You find a lot of interesting research. So that is why it is very important to make sure that the infant is breastfed, or if you are getting a formula that it has enough B1 and other nutrients because some of these formula is just pure sugar.
