treatment of preeclampsia

No doubt you have come here looking for an effective treatment of preeclampsia? The NHS and the usual OBN/GYN will tell you that there is no effective treatment for preeclampsia except to induce labour and deliver the baby early, so what I am about to tell you is exciting news and it will cost you less than £10.

Stay with me.

A little about me. I’m currently pregnant, 28 + 3 and, from my experience attending prenatal appointments, it’s largely fear based information that is given to pregnant women. Even though I’m 42 and classified ‘high risk’ by the NHS, I am a healthy 42 year old who hardly drinks any alcohol, does not smoke, and engages in regular walking, weight training, and rowing and cycling on a regular basis. I also don’t eat much sugar and eat a high saturated fat diet because saturated fats are very healthy, contrary to what the ‘experts’ tell us. Do your own research. The Weston A Price website is an excellent resource.

The last consultant I went to see started asking me twenty questions just as the nurse was taking my blood pressure, to which it must have read over 140/75 or something like that, and then he asked to check my urine, and he wanted to find something wrong, I could just tell in his body language and face. He put the fear into me for days. I thought I had preeclampsia and started to think the worse. He asked me to make an appointment with the community midwife to get my urine and blood pressure checked a second time. I started to eat foods to lower blood pressure like kiwi fruits, natural yoghurt, and prunes. I love all of those foods anyway, but sometimes belly is just full and I have no room for any more food. I’ve gained about 24 pounds thus far. My husband and I get through about two blocks of butter a week and we start the day with two eggs on sourdough toast.

So the day of the community midwife appointment came, and my blood pressure measured 130/74 and my urine was fine. What is it with some doctors or consultants who just want to put the fear into pregnant women?

So I came across this two minute video this morning by Dr Eric Berg, who was recommending the book: The Natural Way To A Trouble-Free Pregnancy: The Toxemia/Thiamine Connection. Unfortunately, the book appears to be out of print and it doesn’t look to be available anywhere.

However, what is interesting is that the doctor is recommending megathiamine, which is for third trimester women to take 100mg of vitamin B1, Thiamine, as a treatment of preeclampsia and actual toxemia/preeclampsia prophylaxis to prevent a host of other common pregnancy issues that could arise.

A few months ago, I received a book from a doctor who had retired from his specialty in obstetrics and gynecology. It was accompanied by a letter that began as follows, “I am writing to you, because I have found another mortal being who is particularly interested in the biological activities of thiamine. I had previously thought that I was nearly the lone believer in the benevolent effects of thiamine, particularly for the treatment and prophylaxis of the toxemias of pregnancy and its many associated problems”. In this letter, he went on to tell me that he had hired himself out, in his retirement, to the government of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands “to improve upon their system of obstetrical care”.

Severe Preeclampsia

On his first day he attended an introductory meeting with a group of island doctors who were all American Board Certified in their specialties. Their purpose was to introduce him to a patient who was 36 weeks pregnant. He described her as “essentially moribund” with severe preeclampsia, gestational cardiomyopathy, and some separation of the placenta (preeclampsia is the term used for severe pregnancy toxemia and cardiomyopathy is the term used for a sick heart. Separation of the placenta would mean that there would be bleeding into the uterus). She  was so sick that she had orthopnea (breathlessness while lying flat on her back. She could only breathe when sitting up in bed, a characteristic of heart failure). Spontaneous labor and delivery, he said, most likely would cause maternal and fetal death and that she would fail to come through a cesarean section. All in all, this was considered by all of the island doctors concerned to be a hopeless case. He suggested that she had beriberi, the vitamin B1 deficiency disease. The letter went on to say “in a private huddle the doctors decided that if the patient died while they were holding me up, they would be found solely guilty, so with anger, sneers and audible comments they told me to go ahead!” He gave the woman 100 mg of thiamine daily in a pill and she was physiologically cured in six days, sleeping flat and hiking the long halls for exercise to shake off her prolonged immobilization. On the seventh day, because of fetal distress, she was subjected to cesarean section, with the delivery of a 3 lbs. 12 oz. baby with a normal Apgar score.

Yes, I know how many will react to this. They will say that this patient was on a tropical island where beriberi was much more likely. This could not happen in America where the science of nutrition is so well known and where all the foods are enriched with vitamins. Also, they might think that the doctor was deluded into thinking that all forms of toxemia were really beriberi and that he had treated this disease rather than toxemia. So the doctor started the clinic patients on prophylactic mega-thiamine for the second and third trimesters, preventing development of every type of toxemia completely, including eclampsia, preeclampsia intra-uterine growth retardation, premature delivery, fetal death, premature rupture of membranes, placenta previa and gestational diabetes, among other possible complications. Again, the reader might well say that these were all patients on a tropical island. Consider however that this doctor had spent his professional lifetime in his attempt to bring healthy babies into the world. He was conversant with all the complications of pregnancy. Did the island doctors fail to recognize beriberi or is toxemia of pregnancy merely a manifestation of thiamine deficiency? Our preconceived idea that each disease is a separate entity with a separate cause and an individualized treatment may very well be completely wrong. If energy metabolism is compromised, the dysfunctional effects will be related to the cells most affected. The symptoms and physical or mental deterioration will be as variable as the distribution of the energy deficit.

Affordable Vitamin B1 as Treatment of Preeclampsia

So, what can hurt in taking 100mg of Vitamin B1 daily in your third trimester, not just for the treatment of preeclampsia, but also these other pregnancy complications like eclampsia, intra-uterine growth retardation, premature delivery, fetal death, premature rupture of membranes, placenta previa and gestational diabetes, among other possible complications.

This is just awesome information for me, and as I’ve just headed into my third trimester too, so I’m going to start taking 100mg of Thiamine from tomorrow, thanks to the trustworthy Amazon UK who always deliver on time.

There is really no point in bringing information like this up with your midwife or consultant, as they rarely do any of their own research. I mean they tell pregnant women to avoid Vitamin A in foods, when Vitamin A is an essential nutrient for the growth and health of the baby. They couldn’t answer my questions about Anti-D and didn’t even give me any information on it, just expected me to take it because of the routine anti-D appointments at 28 weeks. What made me laugh was that he said there was hundreds of studies on Anti-D, but he couldn’t provide me with any links right there and then. It’s not good enough for me. It’s a blood plasma product that is made from pooled blood and now laced with Covid-19 vaccines from the blood donors and there’s zero information on the safety of that.

And, prenatal ultrasound is also highly dangerous too, but every time that’s mentioned to the consultant or midwife, they tell me it’s just sound waves. Not according to the FDA, it is non-ionising radiation. Things that make you go hmmm!

So thankful I have a supportive husband. I am so blessed.

Don’t ever be afraid to think for yourself and say NO to the tests/ultrasound/drugs offered in your pregnancy. The NHS have to respect YOUR choices. If you are a thorough reader like me, you know that you are doing the reading and research for the health and protection of your baby. Nothing more. We are not foolish, contrary to what the world wants to think about us. Why should everything have to be about drugs or machines as the only way. What about faith in God?

Here are two excellent, and RARE books on this subject of the risks of prenatal ultrasound.

50 Human Studies, in Utero, Conducted in Modern China, Indicate Extreme Risk for Prenatal Ultrasound: A New Bibliography by Jim West

and, Jeanice Barcelo’s book,

The Dark Side of Prenatal Ultrasound and the Dangers of Non-Ionizing Radiation

Available as a PDF on her website for £18, or the paperback will set you back around £58 with shipping.

Excellent books I recommend during pregnancy are books by Dr Sara Wickham. They are not too thick, easy reading, and full of helpful information, especially the Anti-D Explained for rhesus negative pregnant ladies who are having a rhesus positive baby.

Here are some Thiamine/Vitamin B1 options under £10.

thiamine 100mg

So since I found out about this information on treatment of preeclampsia only this morning, I wanted to share this urgent information with other pregnant women who may be facing a pregnancy complication like preeclampsia that the NHS doesn’t give an effective solution for, other than to take aspirin for preeclampsia, or deliver the baby early. There is always a way and I will always persevere to find out the truth because the health of our babies doesn’t have to suffer, just because these excellent bites of information are rare to find.

  1. This works. My blood pressure was back to normal at midwife appt yesterday after being 140/74 three weeks ago. Yesterday it was 120/76 and i was highly stressed in the morning.

    Nothing in urine either.

    As well as the 100mg thiamine, I am also taking metabolics supplements of approx 6-8 drops of b complex, 10 drops magnesium and 5 drops of their vit d and vit k2.
