Ray Peat on Biotin

Importance of Biotin for Fat Synthesis in the Nervous System

“Biotin is involved in the synthesis of fats in the nervous system and should therefore probably receive special attention in the diet for multiple sclerosis.”

Treatment of Excess Lactic Acid by Inhibiting Glycolysis

“Heart failure, shock, and other problems associated with excess lactic acid can be successfully treated by inhibiting glycolysis with dichloroacetic acid. This reduces lactic acid production, increases glucose oxidation, and raises ATP concentration in the cells. Thyroid hormone, vitamin B1, biotin, etc. have the same effect.”

Non-Toxic Therapies for Treating Lactic Acidosis

“Therapeutically, even strong toxins that block glycolytic enzymes can improve functions in various organic disorders associated with lactic acidosis caused by excessive lactic acid production. Unfortunately, the toxin that has become the standard treatment for lactic acidosis – dichloroacetic acid – is carcinogenic and eventually leads to liver damage and acidosis. But several non-toxic therapies can achieve the same effects: palmitate (formed from sugar under the influence of thyroid hormone and found in coconut oil), vitamin B1, biotin, lipoic acid, carbon dioxide, thyroid, naloxone, acetazolamide, for example.”
