8 Day Trial.

[WIZARD6787]

Current trial 1 mg hydroxocobalamin, 1.5 mg of adenosylcobalamin, 1.5 mg of methylcobalamin. Day one.

No other supplements other than 50 mg of B6 twice a day in the form or P-5-P as symptoms do not indicate a need for any other supplements. Without supplementing B6 I experience peripheral neuropathy, I will revisit if other supplements are warranted once I have B12 supplementation thoroughly reviewed by my trials.

Last 8 Day Trial:

1 mg hydroxocobalamin, 1.0 mg of adenosylcobalamin, 1.0 mg of methylcobalamin. B6 P-5-P stayed the same.

I knew it was a poorly designed trial because I added a new form and reduced the amount of the other two forms I was using so I would not be able to determine which change caused which changes if any occurred.

I design not by find what works methodology rather to gather information to design what works best. Hence it was a poor design.

Since I stopped grossly under supplementing B12 I get definitive results in days and weeks. Different results with different designs. That is the point. For me 1 mg hydroxocobalamin three times a day with 6 mg adenosylcobalamin three times a day sublingual was robust enough to eliminate symptoms associated with B12 deficiency. That took 6 months but likely would have taken less with better supplementation. It was under supplementing when the goal is to heal and not simply eliminate symptoms.

In retrospect this is what I experienced and why as best I can tell with this poorly designed trial I did not understand when the trial was going on;

I happened to start the trial at 3 pm as what I experience will be much different due to going to have better weather, more light and more sun energy and I could get better information now rather than later. A test the extreme thing.

The first 4 hours were awesome. I am used to a blip of improvement nothing like this experience and never that quick. 4 hours later I crashed and symptoms came back. I am guessing that the addition of hydroxocobalamin was effective for different parts of my neurological system but the reduction in the other two forms was negative.

I stayed with my trial and injected and symptoms settled down and I slept. I am guessing what I experienced for the first time was using up my B12. Perhaps as the addition of the hydroxocobalamin resulted in a more effective use of the other two forms. Although due to poor design I had also reduced the amount of Methylcobalamin and Adenosylcobalamin.

I was still improving but at a much slower rate.

Then on the 9th day I noticed I had injected at 2 am and every four hours exactly, which I have never done. My body was telling me I was under supplementing. I use 5 times a day to allow for different circumstances and for consistency sake do not inject at less than 4 hours.

I do not find comfort in routine or as I call it being a good boy or anal depending.

Great insight into your healing journey. Out of curiostity, do you care to tell me what do you eat in a day?

Pretty much I eat what is now known as the Mediterranean Diet. Have been well before it was a thing.

I do not have any restrictions on my diet.

One concept I use is listening to my body after I eat. I have baked haddock often and ordered it at a restaurant. They told me they had made an error and fried it. I ate it and it tasted fine. Later it did not upset my stomach or anything. My body just told me that is not what I want. It is subtle and easy to miss.

I also am careful about eating something that is good and messing it up say carrots with brown sugar. I just eat carrots.

I read what is in fashion with regards to nutrition. I do not take it as instruction. I never use the phrase eat healthy etc. That is not a term that means anything and is different for who ever is saying it and changes over time then back again.

Food is not fatal life is.

I do not give into a craving in the moment. If it occurs to me I want cheese cake I will put it off and if I still want it I eat it. The way it works for me is the craving often goes away. If not I satisfy it.

Pretty much if I did everything that was thought to be good and nothing that was bad starting in 1961 when I was first introduced to nutrition my life would not be any better and no reason to think I would live longer.

I have never had to target colosetal, blood sugar, weight etc. Applying those principles is not valid.

I have no issues throwing away food after I am full. None

As I wrote it occured to me that I gravitate to fruit that is consistent. Peaches are incredible when they are picked off the tree at the right time. if not they do not taste very good.

Blueberries, strawberries are much better tasting in Scotland. Bananas in Ecuador are like good tasting candy.

I never made that connection before.
