B12 Deficiency and Dementia

[MoKayD]

This is a link to a video which talks about the correlation between low B12 and high homocysteine levels. I know it's not about pernicious anaemia but I thought people here might find it interesting. Prior to starting B12 shots my homocysteine level was at 16. After my loading doses it dropped down to 8. nutritionfacts.org/video/fl...

Thankyou. Mine was never tested as serum b12 so low. lWhat is the normal level?

[MoKayD in reply to Nackapan]

This is what I found online - A normal level of homocysteine in the blood is less than 15 micromoles per liter (mcmol/L) of blood. My doctor said he likes to see this level below 10.

Thank you.

Prof David Smith of Oxford gave a talk at the 2013 PAS conference about the use of B12 in patients with high homocysteine to slow the process of Brain Atrophy.
