Advice re Passing the Word re B12 Around Please

Hi

I've just seen this article in our local newspaper and immediately thought 'Will someone there be aware of the Vit B12 implications?' Clearly, this aspect would be a particular cause to eliminate. However, knowing how little the health professionals seem to know, it would seem potentially unlikely.

I don't feel I am the person to attempt to enlighten them (various reasons for saying this) so, I wondered if there anyone, loval or otherwise, that would feel able to approach them?

Hi,

I have often wondered when I hear stories about post natal depression whether b12 deficiency is involved.

I suspect that new mums who had nitrous oxide during labour (it's in gas and air mix) could be at risk.

Perhaps the person who runs B12 Deficiency Info website might be interested.

Is there a local branch of NCT (National Childbirth Trust) who might be interested?

Maybe a local MP?

Not sure why you can't open the link, Clive. I'll copy/paste it again here, in case it makes a difference

buryfreepress.co.uk/news/me...

Also, I'll type it out (while I can see the whole address) so you can maybe copy and paste, should that be the solution

(spaces) buryfreepress.co.uk/news/mental-health-service-for-new-mums-launches-1-8394225

I've put the spaces in the address so, hopefully, it's not seen as a link ;) Well, I have to try, eh? ;)

Presumably, you tried copy/paste of my typed-out web address, removing the spaces? ;)

Very strange.

Try this link - to alternative newspaper - eadt.co.uk/news/new-service...

What about searching for the title in Google? "Mental health service for new mums launches" - that comes up with lots of links to the same article, but different paper

Really sorry you can't get it CliveAlive :(
