B12 def

I've been B12 deficient for decades. I ended up going back to school and finishing my PhD in both pharmacology and biochemistry and focused my research for 12 years on B12.

I would be fascinated to hear your opinion on the optimum treatment with B12. We used to be on B12 injections every second day and started skipping over weekends, so we are now doing Mon Wed and Fridays but my sciatica pins and needles and heavy foot has been coming back.

Your thoughts?

Congratulations on your achievements - all the more impressive with a B12 deficiency !

Having made an in-depth study of B12 deficiency puts you in a fairly unique category.

What are your plans now ?

How is your health now ?
