I have started taking B12 as well because it gives me a feeling of more

energy.  I take one pill a day but I swallow it, don't put under my tongue.  I

don't know if it absorts faster under the tongue and that could cause it to be

toxic.  Could be you had so many sprouts that you had he B12 other ways.  I am

also on D3 as my D was low and that helps with calcium.  I have not been

drinking milk like I did before.  Doctor prescribed the D3 but I just was

reading up and decided to take B-12.  I felt like I needed more energy. 

Vitamins can be dangerous if we take too much of them.

Ok melody I have to ask I know its OT but, what can you tell me about the methyl

b-12, I have actually had issues with my b-12 being to low, then when getting

injections of b-12 I took a b-12 under the tongue  suppliment for energy and

then was diagnosed with b-12 toxicity. (Personally I think the Dr. was nuts,

that is so rare its crazy even my other Dr.s thinks it was a miss diagnosis)  

then just a couple months later I was again told I didnt have enough b-12

again.... Go figure!

Hi .

Sadly, his is idiopathic (although they now think it's back related). We've

tried EVERYTHING known to man (including Coconut Oil). I have a Methyl B-12 page

Diabetic neuropathy 5 years ago.

We think of lice being from poor parts of twn but that is not accurate.  It can

happen to anyone.  It can be caught from theatres and airplanes.  It can be

passed around by girls who let others use their brushes or combs or who just hug

and have their hair against someone else's.  They were around me and I never

got it.  They did have long hair and were always hugging other girls and you

could see photos with head to head.  They are grown now so won't have that

problem again I suppose.  But they had 2 rounds of it.  They also had an

exchange student in their home from China.  So who knows how they got it.  But

it was miserable and we were all itchy, know what I mean?  Someone just talks

Carolyn, I read somewhere that it recommended not going 100% coconut oil cause

the other oils has good things we need too, so that it is best ti experiment

with it and find what we like/dont like with the coconut oil and what we prefer

with the others to help balance the oils out. As for lice I had some family get

it a long time back, they found the cheapest way to keep the lice away was to do

the shampoo and nit thing, then after that put baby oil in the hair till you get

everything covered washed and etc and are sure you have cleaned everything you

can. The oil suffocates the bugs and eggs. Then once you wash your hair well

enough to get the oil out. once a week wash it with a dog shampoo that kills

lice, its cheaper then the special shampoo. Mind you they had to do that because

they lived in the poor side of town and the school was constantly having issues

with it, thats why they washed there hair once a week with the dog shampoo to

keep it at bay.

I am going to have to get coconut oil.  Hope whole Foods has it.  Going to

have to make a trip there.  I had read a long time ago that coconut shampoo

would keep away lice or that they couldn't live where the coconut shampoo was. 

Had a granddaughter who had lice and didn't know where she got it.  Might have

been on the air flight.  but family had a hard time getting rid of it.  My

daughter said she now knew why being called a louse was such a big insult.  it

was horrible.  Have to wash things in hot water or put in hot dryer or cover in

plastic and keep air out for a few weeks.  Had to spray furniture, etc. as well

as do the special shampoo on the head and kill the nits and redo the hsampoo a

time or two.  Awful stuff.   Wonder if coconut oil would keep mosquitos off

me. 

 

And osteoporosis is a good reason to use the oil.  Anti-inflamation too.  have

to alternate coconut oil and olive oil maybe as both so good for us.  I have

grape seed oil too, but not sure which is better for us there.

No.  I was of the same impression and then in reading I found it was not

accurate and was a major problem in schools today.  I guess they have strains

that are hard to get rid of.  May be form all the international travel.   But

they came to my house twice and ended up finding lice each time.  Couldn't see

it before.  Didn't get it at my house as I never ahd it.  We discovered it so

I wondered about the airplane seats.  They don't put the little disposable head

rests on anymore.  I have traveled though and not had any problem.  have to be

careful anymore in going to hotels, too, even nicer ones.  The bed bugs are

makig a big come back as well.  That can be a worse problem I'd think.  They

can get in luggage.  Had friends who got some in a hotel and had to go bleach

things and had some problems and hotel was to reimburse them.  They were moved

to another room.  Keep luggage off the bed.  Put it in the luggage racks or on

top of the

cabinets, not on floors or on the beds if possible.   Oh now I'm itching just

thinking about it.  I have enough trouble with mosquitoes.

Hi. Happy to help.

I shall make this as brief as possible as it's O/T but we do have diabetics on

this forum so I don't think I'm breaking too many rules.

B-12 is a very large molecule. When we take a regular form of B-12 (known as

Cyanocobalimin) (look in any store like CVS or Walgreens, pick up a bottle of

B-12 supplements and you'll see that it's Cyanocobalimin), and I'm afraid to

even say that the cyano stands for Cyanide, but that's another discussion.

Anyway, the body has to convert that to Methylcobalimin. If, let's say we have

normal absorption and we take 1000 of Cyanocobalin (which is converted to Methyl

in the body), we might be absorbing MAYBE 100 of that molecule.

Because it's a LARGE molecule.

Now, because our bodies are converting it to Methyl, we diabetics might as well

go for the Methyl B-12 (which is sold online (because I couldn't find it

anywhere else), I got it initially at iherb.com from Jarrows. Years ago when I

was diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy, with the zipping and zapping and

burning, (and because I attend a monthly metting of the Neuropathy Association

and because I go on a Neurological forum), I knew that I should begin Methyl

B-12. If I had had a brain in my head way back then, I should have already been

taking this supplement but hey, I learned the hard way.

So about 5 years ago when I began the burning in my feet, etc. etc, I went

online to iherb.com and got the 1000 of the Methyl B-12. I knew immediately

after one week that I should go on the 5000. It's sublingual and you MUST take

it on an empty stomach to make sure you absorb what you absorb.

In a few months, because I was taking 5000 upon awakening every morning, I

noticed all my neuropathy symptoms had abated. And the only time I get a slight

burn in my feet is when the temperature drops in the same day by 25 or so

degrees. So I'm affected by barimetric pressure. So .....for 5 years now, (oh,

by the way, my B-12 level is 2000). I don't need to take 5000 every morning

anymore. I take 3000 every few days.

It's all about getting your B-12 level to a good number. Four digits for us

diabetics because we simply need it more than the average person.

Google Methyl B-12, nerve damage, diabetes, etc. You'll get loads of

information.

I now get mine from Puritan's Pride because they have the Buy 2, get 3 free

deals. You can't beat that.

And anything that helps with diabetic neuropathy is okay in my book.

Of course, the first and foremost thing, one must do to control one's diabetic

neuropathy is to CONTROL one's blood sugar. If one doesn't do that, you can take

all the Methyl B-12 you want, it won't help. It goes hand in hand with

controlling one's blood sugar.

Remember, doctor's (god bless them), practice MEDICINE. They do not practice

NUTRITION.

And as a closing punchline here, I remember well, about 3 years ago, when I had

been taking Methyl B-12 for quite a while and my symptoms abated, I was in my

podiatrist's office when he had been called away and his partner was doing my

feet (regular maintenance stuff like cutting toenails etc). He remarked. " you

have diabetes??, your feet are very good " . I then began my speech on taking

Methyl B-12. He looked at me and said " I would never prescribe B-12 for anyone

except if they had anemia, I don't believe in that crap " . I said 'well, you are

certainly entitled to your opinion "

Exactly one year later, when I was at my regular appointment, he popped his head

in and quietly asked " Melody mind if I ask you a question about that B-12 you

are taking? " I said 'no problem, what's up? " He said " I just got diagnosed

with diabetic neuropathy, WHAT'S THE INFO ON THAT B-12 YOU ARE ON??? "

I gave him what he needed to know about it and that was that.

See?? Even doctors can learn a thing or two.

Sorry this was long but I wanted to be thorough in what I told you.
