MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS -
THIAMINE & LIVER INJECTION INFO

The following recommended protocol is based on a paper by Frederich Klenner and a recent article in the Townsend Letter by Dale Humpherys.  These documents are available. The full text of Klenner’s protocol reproduced farther down in this paper. You may contact us about how to obtain copies of the full documents.

The basis for any long-term treatment program includes adequate nutrition and sufficient supplements to support the major body systems.  The dietary considerations are consistent with the recommendations for the “Swank” diet. Current recommendations for supplements support Klenner’s assertions.  Antioxidants are essential and include Vitamins A, C, E and the mineral, selenium.  There is also a strong recommendation for supplemental B vitamins in doses higher than the “official recommended daily allowances”. Following Klenner’s assertions and Humpherys’ regimen, a person with multiple sclerosis has an added need for the B vitamin, thiamine (vitamin B1) and for the B vitamins found in the liver extract (a long-standing source of B12 and other vitamins). These supplements must be taken by injection.  There are some suggestions that part of the MS problem is a reduced capacity for absorption from the stomach. 

After reading the article and conversing with Dale Humpherys we conclude that a “beginning” protocol be:

 Thiamine (as the HCl), 200mg IM daily
 Liver Extract Injection, 0.5ml IM 4 times per week

These items, and the necessary syringes and needles, are available by prescription.

We compound a thiamine injection that provides 200mg per 1ml.  We have also provided a liver extract injection by Merit (the product that Mr. Humpherys has used for many years).  Commercial providers of extract are unable to supply the product. Consequently, we’ve begun compounding a crude liver extract from desiccated beef liver powder.  The daily thiamine dose of 200mg is 1ml of the compounded injection.  On the days when the liver extract is scheduled it can be mixed in the same syringe with the thiamine.  They are compatible with each other. Also, if one of the products gets mixed with the other (when drawing both into a single syringe, for example) there is no harm. There may be some discoloration when liver extract mixes with the thiamine but there is no harm.

Both the thiamine injection and the liver extract should be stored in the refrigerator.  The products themselves are quite stable, but because there is a risk of contamination from repeated needle entries into the vials, it is best to retard bacterial contamination by keeping the vials in a refrigerator. When traveling it is best to pack the injections with a refrigerant. 

Before using the injections examine the vials carefully. Do not use if there are particles in the solutions or if the solutions become cloudy.

Please refer to the sheets we provide for suggestions on where to inject the medicines and how to rotate injection sites.

Dr. Frederich Klenner devised a protocol for treating neuromuscular degeneration diseases (myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, etc).  His protocol consists of 20 steps and represents an ideal regimen.  This protocol has been shortened significantly and is reported in an article by Mr. Dale Humpherys in the February/March 2000 issue of the Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients  Mr. Humpherys states

“Now in my 25^th year I don’t hear that ‘remission’ bit any more.  Am I cured or in remission?  As long as I take my intramuscular injection of B1 200mg daily and my 2cc liver extract weekly I am completely well. Call it what you wish!” 

Accordingly, some multiple sclerosis patients have begun to copy Mr. Humpherys’ regimen of injections.  Liver Extract is presently available. The thiamine is available only from licensed compounding pharmacies. It is compounded for a specific patient in 200mg/cc in 30cc vials.

These items are available upon the prescription of a physician.
