Re: Vitamin B-12 injections--Kathy?

[Guest guest]

Hi Kathy,

Wasn't it you that wanted information regarding B-12 injections from my

chiro? I saw him today and asked about the change in blood that can result

from B-12 injections given too frequently. What he said is that if too much

B-12 is given, say daily for a few weeks, it stops the intrinsic factor in

your body which will cause a certain type of anemia when the injections are

stopped. Sorry, I don't remember the type. He said he knew a surgeon

who gave himself B-12 injections prior to every surgery to keep himself

mentally clear and awake. When he stopped the injections he had full blown

anemia!

I hope this helps!

Hi Kenda

I never had vitamin B12 injections--I just had high b12 levels when

tested. And folic acid too. I don't know why. My doctor just said

he didn't think it was a problem unless it was low. It just seemed

to strange to me that it was so far out of the normal range

Hugs, kathy

A shortage of Vitamin B-12 can result in Pernicious

anemia.

My sis is telling the family my mother has it . . . I

asked my mother's doctor who said she has chronic

anemia.

Pernicious anemia is more serious.

That's it -- Pernicious anemia. If you give yourself too many B-12

injections, you can develop pernicious anemia when you stop.
