"Could It be...?

It looks like there is a film out on Sally Pacholok, who wrote the book "Could it Be B12? "

Here is the trailer (hope the link works).

Could it be that this will lead to more understanding ? !

Be fantastic if this film helps people understand it better and also gets a better awareness from the medical profession

It's a shame it's a fairly dire looking Movie of the Week, but it's a start. Here's hoping it will lead to good things. Perhaps they could oblige doctors to watch it as part of their training!

That would be really good but I don't hold out much hope if most Of the medical establishment are ignoring all the latest official guidelines and research.

Sally pacholok suggested I contact b12d.org Dr Chandy who has studied b12 deficiency for many many years and is the leading physician in this country.

Hi lesbud. Yes - a really good site for information. The BBC video about him helped to convince my sister to push for B12 after a diagnosis of ME and dementia. A wonderful man, with over 30 years experience in treating B12 def. after he first noticed the varied symptoms suffered by vegans and vegetarians in India. He obviously thinks creatively and kept meticulous records, which enabled him to build a successful case when eventually investigated by the medical authorities for giving too many B12 injections, even though he had given his patients back their lives.

Shockingly, he was banned last year from prescribing B12 injections to his patients just before the £55 bonus was announced for GPs diagnosing new dementia cases!!
