Go To Main Page Alternate Names : Thiamine Deficiency, Vitamin B1 Deficiency Definition Beriberi is a vitamin deficiency disease, caused by inadequate bodily stores of thiamine , (Vitamin B1). It can damage the heart and nervous system. There are two major manifestations of thiamine deficiency: cardiovascular disease (wet beriberi) and nervous system disease ("dry beriberi" and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome). Dry beriberi is somewhat of a misnomer because both types are most often caused by excessive alcohol consumption. Symptoms of dry beriberi include pain, tingling, or loss of sensation in hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy), muscle wasting with loss of function or paralysis of the lower extremities, and potentially brain damage and death.

N¤heres dazu sollte auf der Diskussionsseite stehen. Wenn du Lust hast, verbessere den Artikel und entferne anschlieŸend diesen Baustein. Beriberi oder auch Beri-Beri entsteht meist durch Verzehr von unsachgem¤Ÿ gelagerten und dadurch angeschimmelten Reis. Die Symptome des fr¼her f¤lschlich als Vitamin-Mangelkrankheit bekannten Beriberi werden durch das Mykotoxin Citreoviridin verursacht. Bekannt ist Beriberi schon seit langem in China, schon bevor es ¼berhaupt polierten Reis gab, der einem hartn¤ckigem Irrtum zufolge die Ursache der Krankheit sein soll. Als Gegengift f¼r die Schimmelpilzvergiftung soll Thiamin wirken, das auch als Vitamin B1 bekannt ist. Wegen dieses Zusammenhangs wurde fr¼her auf einen Vitaminmangel geschlossen. Citreoviridin wird von einigen Schimmelpilzarten produziert, so auch von Aspergillus terreus , der Getreide, Reis, N¼sse, Kakao und Trockenfr¼chte befallen kann.

Beriberi, for example, caused by thiamine deficiency, ranked second only to smallpox as a cause of death in Japan in the late 1870s, affected more than ninety thousand Japanese soldiers in Manchuria in 1904-5, and remained endemic until the end of World War II. How its cause was discovered constitutes one of the great myths of nutritional science. As set forth in virtually all nutrition textbooks, people who ate white rice as their principal source of calories were healthy until the 1870s, when steel milling machines were introduced that more efficiently removed the thiamine-containing bran and germ layers. The myth has a scientist-hero: the Dutch physician Christiaan Eijkman,...

Beriberi can also assume what is called a "wet" or "cardiac" form if edema and cardiac symptoms develop. Some cases present with both wet and dry symptoms, and, in addition, there is generally fatal infantile beriberi that strikes the nursing infants of thiamin-deficient mothers. Although beriberi is an ancient disease, pinpointing thiamin deficiency as its cause was the result of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century research, which is the subject of this book.

Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Z Beriberi Definition: Beriberi is a vitamin deficiency disease, caused by inadequate bodily stores of thiamine , (Vitamin B1). It can damage the heart and nervous system. Alternative Names: Thiamine deficiency; Vitamin B1 deficiency Causes, incidence, and risk factors: There are two major manifestations of thiamine deficiency: cardiovascular disease (wet beriberi) and nervous system disease ("dry beriberi" and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome). Dry beriberi is somewhat of a misnomer because both types are most often caused by excessive alcohol consumption. Symptoms of dry beriberi include pain, tingling, or loss of sensation in hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy), muscle wasting with loss of function or paralysis of the lower extremities, and potentially brain damage and death. Wet beriberi is characterized by swelling (edema), increased heart rate (tachycardia), lung congestion, and enlarged heart related to congestive heart failure. Beriberi has become very rare in the United States because most foods are now vitamin-enriched, which means that a normal diet contains adequate amounts of thiamine As a result, beriberi now occurs primarily in patients who abuse alcohol, because drinking heavily can lead to malnutrition and poor absorption and storage of thiamine. This is the cause of "wet brain" or Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which is alcohol-related brain damage affecting language and thinking.

92. Similarity Of Polio To Pellagra, Beriberi, And Other Deficiency Diseases--Eleano There are also such common nutritional deficiency diseases as beriberi, scurvy,Asiatic plague, pellagra, prison edema, acidosis etc. http://www.whale.to/vaccine/polio2.html

SIMILARITY OF POLIO TO PELLAGRA, BERIBERI AND OTHER DEFICIENCY DISEASES Eleanor McBean Ralf R. Scobey, M.D., president of the Poliomyelitis Research Institute. Inc. Syracuse, New York (in the Archives of Pediatrics, Sept. 1950) lists 170 diseases of polio-like symptoms and effects but with different names such as: epidemic cholera, cholera morbus, spinal meningitis, spinal apoplexy, inhibitory palsy, intermittent fever, famine fever, worm fever, bilious remittent fever, ergotism, etc. There are also such common nutritional deficiency diseases as beriberi, scurvy, Asiatic plague, pellagra, prison edema, acidosis etc. No drugs, medicines or medical treatments have ever been able to cure any of these diseases and no germs have been isolated as the cause. But they all respond to fasting, cleansing, proper diet and improved circulation. The similarity of these diseases to polio is too obvious to go unnoticed. They are, in reality, all one disease with varying stages of intensity and different names. It is ridiculous to assume that polio is caused by a virus and the rest of them are caused by nutritional deficiency. Dr. Scobey senses this fact when he states: "Inasmuch as nerve cells react in much the same way to various poisons, further research will probably show that in these cases polio micro-organisms are not always present, but intoxication (poisoning) may be produced through faulty metabolism or by the absorption of poisons from without."

Resources Definition Beriberi is a disease caused by a deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B ) that affects many systems of the body, including the muscles, heart, nerves, and digestive system. Beriberi literally means "I can't, I can't" in Singhalese, which reflects the crippling effect it has on its victims. It is common in parts of southeast Asia, where white rice is the main food. In the United States, beriberi is primarily seen in people with chronic alcoholism. Description Beriberi puzzled medical experts for years as it ravaged people of all ages in Asia. Doctors thought it was caused by something in food. Not until the early 1900s did scientists discover that rice bran, the outer covering that was removed to create the polished white rice preferred by Asians, actually contained something that prevented the disease. Thiamine was the first vitamin identified. In the 1920s, extracts of rice polishings were used to treat the disease. In adults, there are different forms of beriberi, classified according to the body systems most affected. Dry beriberi involves the nervous system; wet beriberi affects the heart and circulation. Both types usually occur in the same patient, with one set of symptoms predominating.
