Hi ,

Yes B12 is in brewers yeast. The veins in my face have faded and only some on

the side of my nose are visible. It

was improving digestion, speeding transit, ensuring complete elimination of

waste and included all the necessary

nutrients in my diet that gave me results. But it takes months to start seeing

improvement and much longer for

results. Go back to the archives and look at the post from Lynnette on Aug.11,

2000 as she explains her results.

Take care,

Mark

Kim where can you get the spray ... I would much rather have that than suck

on pills... And thanks for the infomation because I did not know that you

couldn't just swallow the pills... I was never told that .. That is why I

love this list so much ..I find out so many things here that I would never

had known otherwise..

Hi Kim,

I have not heard this before. I asked the nutritionist at NWH

and she said that you could take the B12 in any pill form. What you

are saying does make sense though. Similar to Rayna's doctor, my

surgeon doesn't tell you to take B12 until you show up deficient -

this seems like a bad idea to me so I started taking the 500

mircrograms (mcg's) orally. I have not been taking it sublingually

though. I guess I should start that. Several people have mentioned

that Trader Joes carries one that is small and not bad tasting. I'll

have to check that out. Thanks for the info.

Dr. Mun said to take 1000mcg's of B12 daily, and said it could be in pill form

(crushed, of course!). Whoever said it is right...every Dr. is different. They

told me to take it until my 3 month checkup when they do a full set of labs, and

they will check the level and decide from there.

On a Trader Joe's note...if anyone happens to go to one of those, and happens to

pick up an extra bottle of the

not-so-bad-tasting-cherry-flavored-B12-sublingual-stuff (phew!), I'd be more

than willing to pay for it. Here in this hick town that I live in, the closest

thing to a " Trader Joe's " that we have is a guy named Jethro that is willing to

swap wives for a living...and I highly doubt he has B12 at his house. (maybe a

little antibiotics, though!). ;-)

Ellen,

You don't actually suck on pills - you stick one under your tongue

and forget about it. They are the tiniest little things and they

have a cherry flavor for the little bit that ends up above the

tongue.

I get mine at Trader Joe's - the brand name is Trader Darwin's

(which amuses me since my Grandfather, Father and Brother are all

named Darwin). They are 1000mcg per pill which is the amount the

doctor told me to take.

Jeanie

ps you may find the spray at GNC or Bread & Circus or one of those

similar type stores.

Jeff,

I'll be going to Trader Joe's tomorrow - if you email me your

address I'll pick up some for you and drop it in the mail.

Hi B12-ers--

It seems, simply put, that different programs say different things

about B12. Given that, I don't know if there is any ONE right answer.

Like other things (related to surgery and not) there is more than one

way to go about things.

I suspect this topic will be brought up at the Thursday NWH meeting.
