Vitamin B 12 Deficiency An Epidemic of Misdiagnoses

Since sharing the book (Could It Be A Vitamin B-12 Deficiency) the horror stories are coming in by the hundreds. It not a silent crippler any longer, people are learning that the problems with their health are not some new unknown disease.

It is hard to understand why medical professionals will not just test you for the deficiency today. We just got the report of another horror story about a woman who had a B-12 deficiency most of her life. She would get B-12 shots and then for some reason her doctor stopped giving them to her. After some time went by she started showing symptoms that looked like MS. So the doctor wanted her to get the MRI on her brain. A family member read the book and told her to have the doctor to just test her for the B-12 deficiency. The doctor said that’s not it you need the MRI. The lady went to another doctor and got the B-12 shot and got better fairly quickly. Needless to say the lady now has a new PCP.

We are opening up this blog for comments. So please share them for all to see about the problems solved by just getting the right amounts of B-12. Share your own personal success stories.

This is such a huge epidemic in the world and it does not need to be. The medical profession can’t charge millions for all the tests and new drugs if they treat you for your B-12 deficiency. This is starting to really look like the reason for it.

The research proves this to be the case and what is really needed is a world- wide drive to get everyone the proper amount of B-12. And before they get treated for some new disease they do not have. But this will never happen because there is no real money in it. So it is up to us to get the word out.

See what one Doctor has to say about this book:

In the 26 years that I have been investigating B12, memory disorders and depressive/ bipolar illnesses, NO patient who came to me with a memory problem (early Alzheimer's) has gone on to Alzheimer's dementia, and I have a near-perfect track record in helping people overcome depression and bipolar disorders. These outcomes are largely due to my permanent optimization of every patient's serum B12 level. (J. Dommisse MD)

Paraphrased for size; read the entire review here.

B12 absorption depends on many cofactors, so it is possible to take adequate amounts of B12 in the diet, and still have a B12 deficiency. Absorption of B12 requires gastric acid, so anything which reduces gastric acid production such as gastric surgery, atrophic gastritis, or antacid drugs could produce B12 deficiency. The very popular antacid drug Prilosec (omeprazole) has been clearly shown to decrease B12 absorption. Other antacid pills such as Prevacid, Protonix, antac, Nexium, Aciphex, Zantec, Tagamet, Pepcid, Maalox, mylanta, reduce gastric acid, inhibit B12 absorption and may produce B12 deficiency.

Vitamin B12

Women contemplating having children need to consider ahead of time are they getting enough B12 and folic acid in their diet. Stating it like a new discovery researchers are saying B12 and folic acid seriously cut the risk of birth defects to the spinal cord and brain.

The medical system in this country has gotten so full of itself the common sense is left out of the equation for medical treatment in this day and age.

In different parts of the world like Ireland the women there have the lowest levels of B12 of any other place. The women there are much more likely to have babies with neural tube defects than anywhere in the world. This coming out of the journal Pediatrics again like some new discovery when any first year medical student knows what vitamin B deficiencies causes.

The disability or death caused from neural tube defects and the two most common are the brain and skull bones do not develop normally. And another where the back bones and spinal cord do not develop correctly is called spina bifida.

The vitamin B deficiency risk factor is almost getting to be silly in this day and age. People act like it is not known along with doctors. Resolving the B vitamin deficiency is so easy and cheap there is no reason for these problems to occur. You can’t overdose on B vitamins and everyone can afford them.

Today the biggest reasons for the deficiencies are people no longer eat as much meat as years past. So we must get the B vitamins from supplements.

Why so Critical to Not Be Deficient in B Vitamins

Just B12 alone is required to maintain healthy red blood cells and nerve cells. Here is where is would be found in your diet; meat dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish and fortified breakfast cereals. All the things people no long eat or are told not to eat. Sure you can get the B12 injections from some doctors but they are so cheap they do not like to bother with them because they do not make any money off them.

All the B vitamins can be taken as an individual supplement or in a multivitamin.

What can you expect to gain by taking Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid daily?

By getting a therapeutic dosage you can expect to see your energy levels to go up and your overall mood to improve. You will not get the therapeutic dose from a multi-vitamin because they are only designed to maintain a base line not to correct a deficiency and produce change.

Sublingual B12, B6 & folic acid formula’s are tested for absorption in the body and proven. A simple way to tell you have a quality brand is when placed the B12 under the tongue that it does not break up and takes time to dissolve. This gives the proper time for absorption by the body producing the results you are looking for.
