Thank you for posting these links. Some valuable info here especially regarding sublinguals etc in top link.

And the preference for hydroxy over methylcobalamin.

This I feel is a 'must read' -and one that that our doctors will take seriously.

I can't believe I've only just found these even though a few people have said to check out the pinned posts.

What a really useful list of research based articles.

If you look through the start of this document - hey.nhs.uk/wp/wp-content/up... - they explain how they reached their ranges. They had to tweak the standard ranges from the BCSH by comparing their assay results with the UK standard.

They tested their ranges and almost 5% of normal people test ‘low’ and almost 10% test ‘intermediate’.

Hi,

The link to the British Committee for Standards in Haematology Guideline is no longer working. I got a "page not found message".

You're right. The link takes me to the complete document.

The stichting link was handy because it w ent straight to a diagnostic flowchart for diagnosis of PA/Antibody Negative PA from the BSH guidelines.

I’ve checked the Stitching website Sleepybunny. Looks like they’ve had a re-vamp - the flowchart document doesn’t appear to be available in their English translations section any longer.

Shame because it was useful.
