Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 Does anyone know about the B-12 dot pills? The ones that you put under your tongue. Are they affective at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 There is a source for sublingual B12 which should be well absorbed with no needle. Kolb M.D. ----- Original Message ----- From: Patty egroups Sent: Monday, August 07, 2000 8:45 PM Subject: B12 One other thing I forgot to mention was that I took injections of Vit B12 early on in my illness, after I saw that my blood results were off. It showed up with an elevated MCV (mean cell volume), and even though my doctor did not offer any help with this abnormality, when I asked for a prescription for injectable B12, he did not decline it. I had my husband, mother, older sons, sister and brother-in-law give me injections whenever I could corner them into giving it! I took it for over a year, about two times a week. ( 1 cc) I have since run out, and no longer have a doctor to write the prescription for me, so have gotten some in Mexico. However, what I used to take was subcutaneous injections, and the stuff from Mexico is intramuscular injections, with a huge needle that I am not particularly fond of. I sure would like to see this become available over the counter. Dr. Kolb, do you know of a source for injectable B12, without prescription?

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Hi Patty, You have to order it from LifePlus -- I will mail you all the info to order at wholesale price. It's name is 'Cat's Claw Forte', product #11002. I have a PDR of all products, and will send a copy of the information pages on this product. It contains extract from the Cat's Claw Inner Bark, plus the organic honey & apple cider vinegar -- that's all! Do I have your correct mailing address? If you recently received a newsletter from NSIF, then I have your correct address & will get in today's mail. LifePlus has really great products which have helped me get off all Rx drugs other than 3. I was on about 10 - 12 before I discovered these supplements.

You should have my correct mailing address, as you recently sent me some books (I still haven't received the video yet with Swanson, though!). I also did not get one of your newsletters, so I don't know if you have me on your list or not. Thanks... Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Having lots of good bacteria in the intestinal tract is what is needed to maintain a good balance of B vitamins. Older people do not have this " factor " because they are usually on multiple pharmaceuticals that are killing these colonies of beneficial bacteria. Cabbage juice, especially when left to age for 12 hours or so is very good for restoring the balance.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Please note that any of the B vitamins require certain amounts of each to be properly absorbed. So taking a B complex supplement with B 12 would be smart. Janet ************ WHAT IS IT? Methylcobalamin is a type of Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 comes in several kinds including hydroxy-, cyano-, and adenosyl-, but only the methyl form is used in the central nervous system. Deficiency states are fairly common and vitamin B12 deficiency mimics many other disease states of a neurological or psychological kind, and it causes anemia. Cyanocobalamin (the kind in vitamin supplements) is converted by the liver into methylcobalamin but not in therapeutically significant amounts. Vitamin B12 deficiency is caused by a wide range of factors including low gastric acidity (common in older people,) use of acid blockers such as Prilosec™ or excessive laxative use, lack of intrinsic factor, poor aborption from the intestines, lack of Calcium, heavy metal toxicity, or excessive Vitamin B12 degradation. WHAT DOES IT DO? Methylcobalamin donates methyl groups to the myelin sheath that insulates nerve fibers and regenerates damaged neurons. In a B12 deficiency, toxic fatty acids destroy the myelin sheath but high enough doses of B12 can repair it. For every day prevention take 1 mg daily (sublingual tabs are better absorbed). Specific conditions may require higher doses. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sutton health Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2004 6:41 AM Subject: Re: B12 Hi The B12 group of vitamins include Folic Acid, one of it's protective source is the Liver. I am on Methotrexate (for Rheumatoid Arthritis) and I take 5Mg very day to protect it from the nasty side effects of this pretty nasty med. My dear wife has Hepatitis C, she also takes it to help protect her liver from the HEPC virus. Women should also take Folic Acid some 12 weeks before getting pregnant and 12 weeks following the pregnancy. However the dose for pregnancy is in the microgram range and NOT in the Mg range. Best talk to your doctor for the correct does.
