Vitamin B-t (Thiamine)
A lack of sufficient Bj can lead to immune-system deficiency, such as lessened resistance to infection, reduced numbers of T-and B-cells, decreased spleen-cell response and a small shrinkage of the thymus. But the effects of a B[ deficit on the immune system are not as pronounced as those seen because of B6, B12 or folic acid shortage.
Although vitamin BY has only a mild immune-system enhancing effect, it is very important for general health, energy, growth, muscles and nerves. I have used Bj many times to relieve the symptoms of neuritis (a burning and tingling feeling often felt in the extremities or tongue).
Biotin
Biotin is a member of the B-complex family of vitamins. Scientists now are beginning to look at its effects on the immune system. When children with a rare biotin-deficiency disease were studied, the administration of biotin, in large amounts, also corrected their immune-system weakness. Most of us don’t have this rare disease, but the study serves as a model for what we can learn about the effects of biotin, as well as other vitamins and minerals, on the immune system.
