Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Jen Folapro from Metagenics is the most bio-available form of folate for the body. I'd check with your son's doc as to dosage.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Sublingual methyl B12 is practically useless. Consider this: most of our kids have digestive issues. Anything swallowed has the possiblity of going right through the system, without being absorbed. Our boy has benefitted most from MB12 injections. Why not get the shots? If you are afraid of hurting him, I suggest going to Dr. Neubrander's web site and watching the videos of parents giving their kids the shots. My grandson gets them in his sleep and he is much more disturbed by moving the blanket and his diaper then the shot itself. I know that the nasal spray has merit, I want it for myself. I just can't see squirting anything up a four year old's nose as being easy. Our boy would scream and fight it, after the first spray. My daughter in law told her pediatrician, " before we go any further I need a rx for MB12. " When the doctor said he wasn't convinced, yadayadayada, she said, " Either I get the prescription or I leave now. " He gave her one good for a year's worth. --- jamiesamuelsmom wrote: > I have my son on sublingual b12 as I haven't found a > doctor to rx the > nasal spray yet.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I respectively disagree, we used oral methyl B12 and it got in and I know a number of kids for whom this was true. There are some kids with really bad guts that don't absorb it but I wouldn't assume this is true for all kids. Theresa Binstock has said she gets a lot of relief and improvement with oral methyl B12. Best to start with oral and see what you get. I would certainly rather take a pill than have a shot, if possible. Re: folic acid > Sublingual methyl B12 is practically useless.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I'm using oral too. My daughter would wake up during the injections and get hysterical. There was absolutely NO WAY I could give her the shot when she was awake - I needed someone else to help me and even then it was HARD! Keep in mind, she was 5 - and maybe 40 pounds! Her doctor has MB12 in her compounded vitamin and I give her extra - hoping it will help! The emotional trauma for her was just too much with the shots!

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 FWIW, we saw nothing with oral, but the nasal MB12 can have my little guy's methylation cycle spinning pretty fast and furious. Perhaps too much so.... We found the spray much more tolerable than the shot. Anne > > > >> I have my son on sublingual b12 as I haven't found a > >> doctor to rx the > >> nasal spray yet.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 We use the B-12 from Now because we are GFCFEF.It is a sub-lingual.That said, sublingual is absorbed thru the mucus membranes NOT THE GUT.My son was on the shots and now does the sub-lingual and has no issues. We had more issues with the shots being the right diameter and having no thimerosol.His pediatrician argued with me that the shots never have thimerosol added to them. I can't wait to hear the response from all of you on that. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I understand your pov but I think that starting with oral MB12 reflects a caution that is unwarranted. Very few kids have negative reactions (other than non-responding), and if the kid has digestive trouble a parent might misread absorbtion difficulty as non-responding. It would be terrible for a parent to think that their kid was nonresponder to MB12, when they were simply unable to use that particular form. --- Cochran wrote: > I respectively disagree, we used oral methyl B12 and > it got in and I know a > number of kids for whom this was true.
