This is not an actual hypothesis I just used that as a title so those that believe all I can do is find what works will know this information is not applicable to their methods of discovery.
It is really information that supports but does not prove my understanding that the human body does not send signals when healing from B12 deficiency other than extreme symptoms. Extreme symptoms meaning those accepted.
So this happened when injecting 1 mg of adenosylcobalamin and 1 mg of methylcobalamin every 5 hours including setting my alarm to inject in the night. I essentially skipped a dose 5 times. Falling into the accepted concept that it would not matter due to the measured retention times equates with effective length of time.
What happened is there were no observable effects of skipping the dose for 10 hours or two more doses. Then there were no extreme symptoms only I did not feel as well. Injecting every 5 hours is a different experience than injecting the same amount every 4 hours and not getting up in the night to inject.
I think what happens when I skip a dose is that my body's healing is interrupted although that is not observable. Until 10 hours and two doses later when my body starts to heal again. I will not be skipping any doses.
I only injected the amount of 2 mg to keep my data collection consistent. I have reduced to 1 mg to see what works. Just kidding. I conclude that 1mg is effective and it is the time of effectiveness that is incorrect. I also conclude that with the level of healing I have achieved I will be able to correctly evaluate the effect of the change. Other than a brief adjustment period it should have no effect and if it does I will assume it is a negative and increase again.
FYI I find it likely that temperature regulation associated with B12 deficiency is caused by the neurological system not sending signals to regulate the body temperature. This may be applicable in other symptoms.
FYI Many believe than the myelin sheath is similar to a extension cord in that the myelin sheath is only for protection. I was shocked when physicians had that belief. Use your imagination at all and you would conclude that is silly and could not exist. In fact the myelin sheath is part of the conductivity which sends signals throughout the body. Duh. Maybe it is bluetooth. 🙂

I have had an interesting experience over the holidays.
In the run up to I NEEDED 4 injections a day at 4 hour intervals. Prior to the hols I was juggling work, household accounts/chores/shopping, caring fur my mother, helping my nephew as an LPA, supporting my children etc.
During the break I spent more time in the kitchen, listening to the radio and cooking and baking by myself. I was relaxed … no conversation, no time pressure, no interactions but still PHYSICALLY but GENTLY busy. I was able to do TWO injections a day without the return of symptoms.
Then mid hol I drive 100 miles to take a friend to hospital, poor night sleep and early start and lots of concentration and interaction and my body was SCREAMING for B12 after 4 hours.
I know this is not the most SCIENTIFIC experiment ever but it seems to me that my body’s need for B12 is more closely related to the diversity of demands rather than the intensity of the demand. I can cook all day but don't ask me to talk too and I can cope on 2 x 1500ug B12! I can drive all day but if you add in emotional stress and juggling demands then I can just about cope on 4 x 1500ug.
Tells me I need to correlate B12 to the amount of physical, mental and emotional activity. These are the variables that detract from healing activity … I think.
To anyone reading my reply Wwwdot and I go way back. All the way to skittles in the driveway. (Inside joke) Plus I am aware that she is an engineer and make allowances for that. 🙂
Seriously though I am comfortable Wwwdot understands I know I can not tell her about her as I understand I do not know.
Not indicating you are incorrect. Just playing with my hypothesis.
If I happen to be correct then when you were injecting 4 times a day your body had enough B12 to heal other than the 6 +- hours at night and the first one in the morning. Then the first injection of the day was a catch up dose.
Then when you were injecting twice a day that was maintaining/staying even.
Had you injected 4 times a day all along you would have experienced healing of symptoms that were not extreme enough to qualify for the standard symptoms and might not be immediately observable. Then when you had the experiences that required 4 injections a day those experiences would have been different and or you would not have had severe symptoms or they would have been less severe.
I personally have not healed to the point that I can create like you did with cooking. Part of it is my creativity is spent on trying to understand B12. It is coming, I can feel it having been through this before. I could accomplish a work of art, that is all it would be and not helpful for my soul. In the last three and a half years I have created some art, not the consistent level my soul craves. Note: I am not an artist in that I seldom sell my work as I have not figured out the vulgarity of art and commerce. I gift my art and trade it.
I sort of knew subconsciously what your reply may be as I was also thinking the same and your response was at the back of my mind.
The desire created by medics’ brainwashing that less frequent B12 is an achievement is very ingrained.
But logically you are right I suspect as I am too early in my recovery to be be fully healed after decades of deficiency My holiday from 4 a day is over. Back to 4 a day!
Thank you my friend.
Not all the cooking was creatively successful on reflection - compared to my old self the output took far too much time and quite a few disasters (but ducks benefitted!). However compared to this time last year when I could hardly stand and could barely eat … it’s nothing short of remarkable!

Interesting, but my lower back pain has come back again today - it had been absent for about a week or so .... I think you are right Wiz, that the lack of B12 detracted from deep healing. Back on to 4 a day now.
I thought about what I wrote and the concept of staying even now seems unlikely. If the body can heal with B12 that staying even would be all but impossible as the body uses B12 in different amounts depending on activity. It seems more likely to me that the choices if the body can heal with more and or more often are slower, more rapid, or regressing.
I am going with if the body is healing slower than it could the body unless experiencing severe symptoms will not send disernable symptoms quickly.
I have just started a trial of reduction from 8 mg a day to 4mg. My concept is with that drastic a reduction and my current level of healing I would be able to tell quickly. I am questioning now how much my reduction is emotionally about trying to conform as close as I can and get by.
Pretty much the fact that so many people inject more than EOD proves to my satisfaction that conforming other than to rational conclusions with what little credable information exisists is as good as it is going to get. Hard to accept that those in the medicial field are missing by such a large margin and not preventing so much pain and suffering.
This sharing/exploration has been helpful to me. I have decided the way I am going to evaluate my recent reduction from 8 mg per day to 4 mg is that if I experience less rapid improvement I will resume my former regiment. Most importantly I will not think well maybe it is ..... I will not assume it is the reduction rather I will eliminate that as a possible cause.
