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 of 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 boosts ATP concentration in cells. Thyroid hormone, vitamin B1, biotin, etc., have the same effect."

Non-toxic therapies for the treatment of lactic acidosis

"Therapeutically, even potent toxins that block glycolytic enzymes can improve function 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 ultimately 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 hormones and found in coconut oil), vitamin B1, biotin, lipoic acid, carbon dioxide, thyroid hormone, naloxone, and acetazolamide, for example."
