Current Trial 1.5 mg hydroxocobalamin/B12 SC injection at 3mg/ml concentration, 1.5mg injection methylcobalamin/B12 at 3mg/ml concentration, 1.5mg injection adenosylcobalamin/B12 at 3mg/ml concentration, 300 mg oral Benforotiamine/B1 and 50 mg oral P-5-P/B6 4-5 times a day and 2000 mg Magnesium L-Threonate twice a day. (The Magnesium prevents the pain of cramps and the B6 in the form of P-5P prevents and heals peripheral neuropathy as well as healing my neurological system.)
I find Elloit Overtons work which is results based rather than projected results based to be helpful. Our work is similar in that we both work with effective dose rather than projected effect. I do not consider unconfirmed projected results to be evidence based simply as scientific information is involved.
I work with the trying to target a specific deficiency to be a failure except by symptoms unless the deficiency is so severe it shows up in tests. I treat my neurological system based on results. I experience improvement in a month, days or weeks not years.
I did experience gradual improvement for 3+- years. Until proven otherwise I am going with the hematological issues associated with B12 are a neurological issue and will treat them as such. They are resolved with this method.
I have been working with the concept that when I increase my B12 supplementation that I experience a few days of uptick than a period of downturn as my body adjusts and heals. I am now working with the concept that the downturn is an indication of under supplementation of B12.
I work with the concept that my body can heal if given a chance and that how to give my body a chance is not known and I can discover that by study and discovery.
Having mitigated for years and years the effects of what ever I can heal with supplementation with my knowledge of nutrition I work with the concept that nutrition alone is similar to pouring water on the roof as the house burns to the ground. (I was enthralled with the promised nutritional results for years starting over half a century ago. It is still just showing promise and is still at the hobby level other than making money from giving advice that sounds wonderful. I believe bad nutrition to be an issue and ‘good’ nutrition a temporary fashion.)
I utilize convergent thinking, I am not limited to it or to others understanding of what other exclusively convergent thinkers believe to be true. This includes risk assessment which I do with the information available and evaluation.
I am aware that the results of my non-convergent thinking will be able to be reduced to convergent methods, that is intrinsic.
I do not want convergent method results.
I do not let the biochemical effects of supplementation to smolder by grossly under supplementing as is often preached.
I am enjoying sleeping and waking up refreshed. Working on having that my new normal. Discovering how to experience that has a high degree of difficulty and convergent thinking alone fails.
Start a new trial on the first of the month. Now I just have to design it. Which means more study. More non-convergent thinking. Oh bother!
