Re: B12 injections - frequency

[Guest guest]

Our experience: We started with twice weekly, then once a week (for about

four months). Initially, we saw improvement. But then disappointingly, it

leveled out. We then started doing the daily injections. Wow! It gave my son

a big boost in language and he potty trained with a couple days (yay! big

relief!).

After about 2.5 months on daily injections, my son became overactive so then

we started doing injections on every third day. We've been doing this for

about five months and my son continues to do well.

BTW, we have also been doing TTFD and GSH along with the b12 injections.

Did the language he gained during the every day dosage regress when the

injections went to every third day?

Oh no. He has not lost any language. My 5 year old son continues to make

gains in language and I am hopeful that he will achieve age-appropriate

language. Increasingly he has terrific spikes in which he says complete

sentences like, " I would like a drink of water, please. " But we're unable to

keep him at that level most of the time.
