Re: B-12 injections - need help

[Guest guest]

Meg,

How long have you been on it ? Is it possible that the particular

batch of injection you are using is causing him pain. I read in one

of Dr.Neubrander's paper (he is the father of b12 shots

http://www.drneubrander.com) that if the pH of the solution is not

proper when its prepared by the compounding pharmacy it can be

painful. If you have been doing multiple batches and it is still a

issue maybe its not the pH. Btw, what compounding pharmacy do you

use ?

We have been doing the shots with my 21/2 yr old for a couple of

weeks now and use the numbing cream. He doesnt even move and i know

for sure the numbing cream is effective.

Can you try the shots on yourself after numbing the place. If it

hurts you too then i would order another batch and see. The shots

have done wonders for my son and so it would be a bummer if you have

to discontinue it for the wrong reasons.

I don't use injections, but from other messages I have read, check the

following:

What is the needle size? It should be VERY small.

What angle do you use? I forget the exact angle that is required, but

many people are giving it at the wrong angle. It needs to be in the

fat, and not any other area.

Are you sure it is the injection itself, or the effects of what was

injected? For example, mB12 caused lots of problems for my #3 until I

gave it with folic acid and increased his yeast protocol.

Just a thought for your consideration...our B12 has to be refigerated. Are you

giving it ample time to come to room temp prior to injection? It may help...

Lee Silsby pharmacy now has a transdermal B12. You might try that.
