Very interesting, thanks. Looks like the penny is starting to drop with some researchers that cognitive decline with age may not necessarily be due to incipient dementia or Alzheimers but a simple vitamin deficiency which can be easily and cheaply treated...

Thanks for sharing this article. I’ve been researching the role that B12 deficiency (or lower levels of B12) plays a significant factor in neurological decline, since I’ve lost two aunts to Alzheimers/Dementia in the past few years.

I remember one of my cousins saying that her mother’s brain had shrunk and that her B12 levels were low but in the ‘normal range’ and her doctors didn’t supplement her with any B12 hence she declined rapidly and passed due to this disease.

As we age we need more B12 for neuro-protective purposes. Hence why there isn’t a definitive cure for dementia but, maybe a simple ‘B12’ injection could be of significant treatment for this insidious disease.

One of the coauthors, Ralph Green MD, PhD, has been a coauthor with Bruce Wolffenbuttel on two of the really good medical journal articles on B12 diagnosis/treatment in the last year or two. In his 2017 article, with a title something like "A practicing hematologist's view on B12 treatment", in the last couple of sentences before the summary, he advocates for letting B12 patients manage their own treatment (ie, injection amounts and frequency). So, simply on that basis, this article has a good "bloodline".
