Homocysteine B12

[Guest guest]

This is my hypothesis, It may change, I am still learning.

I have found that most of the stress that we are under is due to

Homocysteine. This is a nerve toxin and can cause a host of problems in

the body, including heart problems, mental problems etc.

Homocysteine is also related to causing coagulation. I suspect it is

one of the major causes.

Homocysteine is also related to Glutathione. High Homocysteine = Low

Glutathione.

To detoxify homocysteine you need B12 (in high doses), B6, folic acid.

These would appear to be the major players. (Other factors helpful are

Potassium, Sodium, Liquorice, Zinc, other trace minerals). Plus others

such as Sam-e ( I have not tried Sam-e).

Homocysteine would appear to rise because of low B12. One of the main

factors causing B12 depletion is because of bacteria infections.

Especially C. Pn and H.-Pylori. (Probably many others too.) As is folic

acid.

Low B12 is related to low blood volume.

Low B12 is one of the main factors causing Pernicious Anaemia

(otherwise known as 's Anaemia).

's is a fundamental breakdown of the adrenal gland, this could

be primary, secondary, and be on both sides, I.e aldesterone or

cortisol. (Most of us are suffering " I believe " on the Aldesterone

side.)

In  Pernicious Anaemia however the problem stems from the HPA, this is

related to low aldesterone and high ACTH, High cortisol. This causes

adrenal crisis, albeit that the adrenal glands appear under stimulation

tests to be functioning adequately.

Serum B12 test is useless. Low B12 is of the TISSUE as well as the

blood. But the Serum test should be ignored. Instead one should test

Homocysteine. This costs about 60 UKP. High Homocysteine would alert

one to the major problem at the heart of the issue.

My own case has been remarkable, I started taking high doses of B12

about 3-4 weeks ago, at that time I was on the brink of death. I had

been to the ER on 4 occasions, with suspected adrenal crisis. I could

not tolerate light. This all started about 4 months ago after about 3

months on Benecar. - Today I am out in the sun painting, and feeling

better than in years.

I had a load of stim tests, and other tests. The stim results I have

not been given access too, despite requesting them over 15 times now.

The Endo, just scribbled a note saying I do not have 's.

My normal tests results I do have are:

ACTH was 87 (9-52)

Aldesterone

84 pmol/l (83-985)

30 pg/ml (30-355)

B12 was 566 (200-800)

Cortisol was high.

Stratton has a protocol and part of that includes very high

doses of B12, as well as a number of abx. It was his protocol that got

me on the B12 Hunt, despite my " normal " results.

When I started with B12 I noticed a major effect. Soon after I did IM

injection of 1-mg, this caused me to have a nasty shock. I wont be

doing that again for a while. (Low potassium and low blood pressure,

serious head problems). I then started on oral doses, and quickly built

up. I felt a sensation of detoxifying in the brain, and an oxygenation

of the brain. Also I noticed a lot of sinus draining. Tinnitus has also

started to subside.

After starting B12 I started to have some minor problems with my heart,

(gas in that area). I then quickly added Potassium and this then

resolved. The first few days were most interesting. It felt like my

whole body was an electrical storm. This quickly subsided. After 3-4

weeks now, I do not really notice the B12 in any great way. But I

suspect I have a long way to go.

My brain functions are much better than in a long time and I no longer

feel anxious. But I still have trouble with sleep. (but it is much

improved over 1 month ago).
