I think we might see some modest benefit from thiamine in pill form, but don't think we can really hope to replicate the results seen in the articles posted in this thread without going the injection route.

For what it's worth, I am finding that the injectable thiamine will require not only a script, but also a compounding pharmacy to make it. So if you take low dose naltrexone, that is made by a compounding pharmacy and they may be willing to also mix up some injectable thiamine for you if your doctor will script it for you.
My understanding is that Benerva is just another name for Thiamine. Benerva/Thiamine pills can be readily purchased but will not easily cross the BBB as much as an IM injection.
