What Is Beriberi ? Which Vitamin Supplements Can Help In Its Treatment ?

Hi,doctor! Im Evelyn,44 years old,5 1 in height and weighing 56 kg. Two years ago,I was diagnosed of a left kidney cyst, 1.6cm..my doctor didn t prescribe any medicine for me because he said the cyst is benign, but I was advised to have urinalysis every 3 months and an ultrasound after a year..It so happened that I am only earning less than what my familiy needs, a hand-to-mouth-existence, I was not able to have my doctors advice..It is already more than two years without any medication and follow ups..And now, I have been suffering from beriberi , more than a week, can be seen on my legs and sometimes on my arms till my face ..not so transparent anyways but, I can feel the heaviness of my body.. Actually, I ve been from this situation( on and off - for 3-5 days ) within these years (2009-2011) but I just ignored it. This is just because of poverty . At present, I am drinking RAW APPLE CIDER VINEGAR with honey bee 3 times a day, cranberry juice, coconut juice, 2-2.5 litres of water and eating green vegetables daily.. WITH THIS SIMPLE MEDICATION, I DO NOT KNOW IF MY ILLNESS WILL TOTALLY BE CURED. Please doctor, I need your help and advice. Thank you very much and more power!

was beriberi diagnosed by u? if yes, u might be wrong, see a doctor/govt hospital/ free trust hospital. wrong diagnosis will waste ur time, money and energy. treatment of beriberi is vitamin thymine(vitamin B1) available as NEUROBION TAB and is not costly. take it twice a day for a week than daily for one month. drakshayjoshi@hotmail.com
