this video is very applicable to anyone with a problem with their bladder whether it’s urinary urgency okay leaky bladder incomplete urination or frequent urination or you get up several times at night this video is for you and unfortunately when you do a Google search on this topic you’re going to find pure trash okay all of these sites that you go to say almost the exact same thing and what they do is they just hire search engine optimization people SEO people to write articles these people have no experience but they just get the keywords and they create articles and then they rank on Google so it’s extremely difficult to find anything valuable on Google relating to health information especially the bladder and unless you know what to search for and some possible links it’s very very difficult I have the advantage of just have been in practice for 30 years so I’ve seen things that I would never have connected the dots unless I had that practical experience so when we talk about the urinary bladder we’re talking about um a muscle that stores urine and releases urine so we have this muscle that surrounds your bladder okay it’s called the nutrition muscle and if we look at the Common Thread to all these bladder problems it’s actually a problem with the nervous system I’m going to explain why we have a valvular system that’s controlled and then also involves smooth muscle as well as the neurological Supply and the main control with urine elimination really stems from your brain it’s called periaqueductal gray matter not that you need to know that but there’s a part of the brain that is in control of this bladder okay and then connects to the nervous system and this part of the brain is very vulnerable and sensitive to a thymine deficiency a B1 deficiency in fact other parts of the autonomic nervous system that’s involved with this bladder control are also very vulnerable to vitamin B1 deficiencies I found some fascinating information which I share Down Below in the description on the link the very strong link between a B1 deficiency and your bladder problem that you’re having right now whether the bladder is overworking or underworking B1 seems to be Common Thread and this also makes sense if you look at a diabetic right when we’re talking about Diabetes Type 2 there’s like 50 to 70 percent of those people who have bladder problems now if you watch some of my other videos you saw this huge connection between diabetes and peripheral neuropathy problems okay I’m talking about the the numbness the bottom of the feet or the pain the bottom of the feet relates to a B1 deficiency I’ve done other videos on diabetics having just general problems with their autonomic nervous system and there’s a name for that diabetic autonomic neuropathy so anytime you have a problem with neuropathies like nerve problems you really want to look at this B1 because there’s a huge connection B1 is involved in the myelin sheath production around the nerve and B1 is also necessary for the production of energy especially if it’s from carbohydrates or glucose and so the more carbohydrates or glucose that are used by the body okay the more B1 is needed now a B1 deficiency in the brain can even starve off the energies of certain neurons in the brain and cause a lack of function in those brain neurons as in this case that part of the brain that controls the bladder actually is shrinking and you’re losing function of the entire control system and this can be a very common thing when we age especially if someone’s a diabetic a pre-diabetic or they have chronic insulin resistance which is very common it’s like 60 to 70 percent of the population and this is another reason why so many people get so much relief when they start to cut the carbs out of the diet and a relief with bladder issues so it is true that your bladder problems could be coming from let’s say a prostate enlargement or a prolapsed bladder if you’re a female or you have disinfection in your bladder or of course you’re drinking way too much water before you go to bed or you have I don’t know fibroid whatever all of these are valid but there’s something a lot more common involved in all of these bladder issues and that is a B1 deficiency and if you don’t know that okay you may end up at the doctor’s office getting more medication maybe a surgery and not fully fixing this problem so here are some simple things you can do you need to First correct the B1 deficiency and I would recommend correcting it with two different types of B1 one is a fat soluble B1 called benphotamine and two is a natural water-soluble regular B1 but you want to make sure it’s natural not synthetic and I would take both of these remedies for about two to three months okay because if you are very very deficient it’s going to take a while to build up but for most people they should start seeing Improvement within the first two weeks now number two you want to stop the depleting of B1 there’s many things that can deplete B1 but the most common thing is a high carb diet so you need to get on a low carb diet okay and that also includes doing intermittent fasting now the next thing you can do which I highly recommend is based on this you have two types of receptors in the bladder okay for urine you have mechanical receptors which involve pressure or volume of urine okay but you also have chemoreceptors which involve the concentration of urine so for example if you don’t have a lot of urine because maybe you’re not drinking a lot your urine can be very very concentrated and despite having a lot of urine you might just need to go yet when you go not a lot comes out so just by drinking enough fluid through the day and I’m talking about like two and a half liters of fluid not past six or seven o’clock at night okay you can dilute the urine to the point where the need for urination is less at night and you can also try that as well in addition to drinking this extra water you may also benefit from adding apple cider vinegar to your water why because apple cider vinegar can greatly help your blood sugars okay especially if you have insulin resistance I’ve done a lot of videos on this apple cider vinegar is like a real simple thing to do you put one to two tablespoons in your water when you drink it and it can greatly help your blood sugars and then you might find based on how much caffeine you consume is to reduce the caffeine beverages to maybe a small cup of coffee in the morning but not a lot of coffee that has caffeine because the caffeine can really affect your bladder in a big way and just by reducing your caffeine that can to make a huge difference now the last thing I would recommend is to manually massage the bladder okay why because your bladder over time can be congested it could be atrophied and if you press into your bladder within your tolerance and just kind of massage around that area and then you might find that you need to urinate right after that I used to recommend this in practice and it really helped stimulate the bladder to actually get more tone into the bladder and to help push out some of the residual urine that could be potentially sitting in your bladder for too long now there are many other things that can cause a B1 deficiency Beyond just sugar and carbs okay and I really highly recommend that you watch this video on that topic right here
