Rhonda,

I take lots of it and don't seem to have a problem. Maybe, it just

affects some people.

It is OK to take B-12 during chelation. In fact, most mercury toxic

people find it extremely helpful.

I usually get a B-12 shot every 2 weeks or so.....does this contain mercury?

Thank-you for your response. I have purchashed some sublingual B-12

from the health food store that is the Cyanocobalamin type. I took

one yesterday and found it didn't do anything for me. This is the

only kind other than the swallow tablets that they carried. Does

this

kind usually work ok for mercury toxic people? And should you notice

an increase in energy if they are working? I had read before that if

you are B-12 deficient, after you take a supplement you feel some

difference, but I think this was with another kind of B-12 (like

possibly the methyl type)

Thanks,

Rhonda

so what happens to a hyperactive child that receives the B-12 shot, will that

give him more " energy " ? That we don't need!

Yes. But you may have to take a lot. Like 3,000-12,000 mcg a day.

B-12 deficiency causes neurological problems. Giving a hyperactive

child B-12 will be very helpful to some of them. It might make a few

worse. You can have them get shots, but you can also just dissolve a

lot of B-12 in juice. a few thousand micrograms a day seems to do the

trick. The kids like juice a lot more than they like shots.

You may wish to make reference to a good dictionary for the meaning of

the word " homeostasis. " If the vitamins are taken consistently,

homeostasis is achieved. Whether it is a desirable homeostasis or not

is the pertinent question. Lots of extremely toxic people have found

it to be much more desirable than anything they were able to achieve

by " natural " means. One good example of this is my girlfriend's son

Sheldon, who is MUCH better off with vast quantities of B-12, folate,

A, C, magnesium, zinc and molybdenum in his juice. I don't know of

any fruits that can be squeezed to give a few milligrams of B-12 per

pitcherfull so we use the synthetic stuff that comes out of a chemical

factory. Sheldon's signs and symptoms of B-12 deficiency have

improved on it, which they did not on a nice organic diet beforehand.

If one were B-12 deficient, would there be obvious outward signs? I

was told by someone (not a professional) on another list, that if I

were B-12 deficient I would definitely know because I would have

numbness and tingling in the arms and especially wrists. Does B-12

deficiency come on that strong all of a sudden, or can it develop

more

slowly over time?

Thanks,

Rhonda

Shortly before you died from it. Long before that, while it was

having adverse neurological effects on you, you would have the tip of

your tongue become red and smooth.

Also, let us say your kid is so B-12 deficient he has the numbness and

tingling. Since he has had it for a long time HE THINKS IT IS NORMAL

AND WILL NEVER COMPLAIN! Numbness and tingling is a SYMPTOM. he has

to tell you about it. A smooth red tongue tip is a SIGN. You can

check it without needing him to tell you it is bothering him.

Slowly over time.
