B12 serum levels and IFA test?
Hi , I’ve just had some blood taken and they are going to check for Intrinsic Factor. I had been supplementing daily with 5000 ug Methylcobalamin but stopped two weeks prior to test. I may have got this wrong, but I thought the GP said that if the lab saw “normal” levels of B12 in my blood (I.e. anything

Weak positive IFA
Hi all, I've just called my doctors for the results of my intrinsic factor antibodies test and been told it's weak positive. Apparently it's been sent back to the lab for further tests/interpretation but the receptionist couldn't tell me what. Does anyone have any experience of this? What does this

Extreme Diets.
I define an extreme diet as one that flirts with deficiency of one or more essential nutrients. Sure, one can always take a pill to counter deficiency, but that would detract from the idea of an ideal diet meeting all of the needs of the body. Is there a place for an extreme diet when cancer is present

Hi So I have Hashimotos, I also take 3000iu vitamin D doubled up to 6000iu since taking just 3000iu wasn't raising my levels and I also didn't think the 800iu my GP prescribed to me was doing the job either.

RA, PSA, lupus or what?!
OH has now been under the care of the rheumatology department for 9 months and today we had his third appointment. He is negative for rheumatoid factor and CCP but the consultant has always said he has an inflammatory arthritis. His CRP levels were in the high 20s at first and have been gradually rising
