Thanks for telling us !

[Johnathan]

I want to buy this on DVD. Is it released? I know people that need to see it but are unlikely to read the book. This could be a very important movie. I would like to buy a couple of copies. I have tried Amazon but with no luck. Can anyone help?

[PAS-admin Partner in reply to Johnathan]

As far as I know there is no DVD yet.

You can watch the documentary Elissa Leonard made with Sally prior to this movie. And the PAS-docu, and the conference, here: stichtingb12tekort.nl/vitam...

Just watched the film that's for the link. I hope it brings awareness to health professionals and the general public alike

[ndodge]

Awesome! Can't wait to see it. If I can figure out how.

[grossmusic in reply to ndodge]

Just click to the link & click the triangle on the player. if your computer pops up any kind of error with an installation recommendation (flash player), follow the instructions then go back.

If you have a really old computer there may be some slowness but it should work pretty painlessly just following obvious clicks.

[grossmusic in reply to grossmusic]

Oh - & the promo code (JEFF) is the last thing you enter, so you do need to click through the payment process. The only reason it wouldn't work is if it's beyond the 24-hour period for the free viewing. Still - $2.99 is worth it.

Thanks, grossmusic!

Will do, once my cat gets off the computer chair!

[Gambit62 Administrator in reply to ndodge]

see that you are another one whose life is ruled by cats ... I tend to move the computer chair and sit on a stool if that happens.

[ndodge in reply to Gambit62]

Good idea but my cat gets so annoyed with me when I've tried that! He totally rules my husband's and my life.

We rescued him and love him to pieces, but never having had a cat before, I had no idea how bossy and particular they can be! It's true -dogs have owners and cats have servants!

[Gambit62 Administrator in reply to ndodge]

mine have me trained to get up several times in the night to feed them so totally empathise.

[ndodge in reply to Gambit62]

Oh my gosh, we do that, too! Now I feel better since I know we aren't the only ones who are trained to do that!

[poppym09 in reply to ndodge]

Mine like to sit on the computer keyboard 🙃

[ndodge in reply to poppym09]

Ha ha, that's too funny!

Must be hard to get anything done!

Watched it last night after seeing this post.

In most cases, I hate movies that are so one-sided. However, in this case we're talking about a quick, painless, cheap test that does no harm. Why doctors would fight it as they did for so long makes no sense, & I suspect some dramatic license made it look more sinister than it was.

Meanwhile, 20% of those tested (quoted somewhere in the movie) had B12 deficiencies. 20% definitely warrants broader testing parameters. However, the movie makes it seem like every patient this nurse ever encountered had the deficiency. Seeing a demon under every rock. Never showing any cases where the testing came up negative so that doctors could do more testing for other things felt a bit too preachy & in your face.

But as someone who has malabsorption issues after gastric bypass, I learned a lot throughout the movie, so I see it as an entertaining PSA.

Just finished watching. Thank you for the tip.

I am gobsmacked I am on a very small amount of meds for b12 & vitd still have the symptoms and I go in December for gut scope and that movie makes me think I am PA it has made me aware that my symptoms are not all in my head and i'm not nuts

[Johnathan]

That is a bit of a shame. A DVD would be very useful to have. I would be prepared to pay the going rate for a Feature DVD - probably several copies. Is it possible that this site could offer the suggestion? It would have more weight than coming from an ordinary punter like me. I would like to spread the word and a DVD would help.

[PAS-admin Partner in reply to Johnathan]

It'll come in time. It's still running in theaters and they're doing screenings. It's always like that with movies After some time the DVD follows. (marketing and all you know )

[Aurora12]

Q) Do you have to register with vimeo in order to watch it? And then continuously have to receive all updates they send you? Does it also mean they sell your email address to "the world'? Thanks,

[Sallyfr]
