I am another victim of this bactium product, that a friend put me on to. So I went ahead and purchased the product, and what do you know I was still waiting for the product 3 months later especially after numerous calls to the company, and many phone hang ups from them too. Even when I had paid for their fast postage fee of $10 extra, when I rung them and asked to be refunded because it took them 3 months not 2 weeks as stated. They then gave me a blatant sorry but we can't do that and hung up on me. Frustrated and fed up I went through with trying this so called product. In the 3 month supply I took the product as directed on the bottle religiously to really give this a good trial. The dramatic changes were horrible I had turned to an absolute monster with mood swings at any one given time. I got viciously violent, abusive, and even started consuming alcohol as if I was an alcoholic. This was totally out of character for me, my partner and son were walking on egg shells. But so naive to what was going on I continued to consume the bactium another 9 months later, and then I started to go down hill experiencing pins and needles on a regular basis from the toes to the head. So it was off to the doctor who ran a few blood tests. When we got the blood tests back I had a urgent call to go back and get an URGENT injection of B12. My doctor then asked me what I was taking and I told him Bactium. He then told me to get off them straight away and that they were stripping the thiamine out of my system which if in lack of, I could end up with brain damage. This was all the headaches, pins and needles in my whole body and head on a regular basis, and very lethargic. I am currently on weekly visits every Friday for my B12 shots which I have been doing for the past month now, until my doctor is happy with my results. The horrible side effects have just about gone, as I am my usual self again, back in the gym, playing all sports, and most of all I have my family that I very near lost. As my doctor say's I am very lucky to be alive, and that is how much this bactium just about stripped me of thiamine in the blood. Funnily enough I didn't get the offer of the B12 with the product and it wasn't until I read the other reviews, that I realised someone else out there could go through this horror and pain.
