“In addition to affecting general cognition and memory, vitamin B12 deficiency may even lead to dementia and psychosis, suggesting a broader dependence of the brain on B12.”
Yes and why don’t the medical powers- that - be take more notice of the above facts ? I’m certain that there are many elderly people in care homes because of vitamin. B12 deficiency.
I think my poor dear mum was one of them...dementia onset at 70, which is where I feel I would be without my PA diagnosis and injections starting at age 65.
Same here . I’m absolutely convinced , now that I know so much about P.A. /B12 d . The strange gait , the pallor , the dementia . It’s too awful to think about . At the time I had no idea about B12 deficiency.
One of my symptoms was memory issues - I was misplacing things ALL the time and it became a bit of a joke for my family “mum’s misplaced her sunnies again!” and I just thought ‘well, I’m getting older and I’m quite busy so there’s just too much on my mind’. (I’m only 37!)
But a few months in to injections and wow the difference.
I have not lost anything for almost 6 months. Its scary to think that if I’d not collapsed, maybe the damage would’ve kept going and boom, early onset dementia.
Yes absolutely. And after a time , those symptoms become irreversible. So pleased that you have been rescued from the horror . Well done , it’s really great . It really is cause for great concern that the medical profession does not acknowledge these facts about B12
The first medical symptoms I had were blood pressure crisis, and MRI done to check for stroke showed 'an unusual amount of white matter for my age'.
I have still not managed to convince any medic that I have b12 deficiency, but since I began SI I have definitely experienced improvement in memory and ability to think, and concentration. It's like finding myself again. None of this would be possible if I was still relying on doctors to help me!
Massive thanks to everyone in this group for support and sharing information!
A worrying aspect emerging from this research is the danger of too much B12 leading to neuroaxonal degeneration. (I think that's what's reported)
Hmm I didn’t notice that. Was that too much B12 supplementation or a naturally high B12 that can indicate somethings going wrong??
Too much B12 bound to HoloHC. The inactive B12. They say needs more research. It would be naturally occurring B12 I think as thier cohort did not supplements, as far as I can see anyway.
