I had no idea what my problem was until I listen to this book, however after starting the B12 (I took more than required since vitamin B12 will not harm you and your body can get rid of the excess) within a week my balance improved. I noticed I could go off curbs much easier and when I got out of bed I did not feel dizzy.

God bless y’all!!!

Y’all have helped me tremendously, along with my DO. Thank y’all from the bottom of my heart. I don’t know yet how much I can recover. Taking three shots a week. Just upped dosage too.

Petty review-Good info, moderately annoying.

I’m being petty. I know this is a book about b12 deficiency but if I heard the words “b12 deficiency” one more time I could have perforated my ear drums with my b12 injection syringes. I have malabsorption and know what b12-d feels like. So I do feel that the information is useful. This almost makes it seem like everyone is deficient at some point which is fine if that’s the case. The information was interesting but honestly if she had done more- “studies show…” and less, “this one time at band camp…” ‘this kid couldn’t play the flute because he was b12-d’ it could have shortened the book by about 5 hours. Maybe if they had just compiled all the studies into a separate case study section it would have helped. Also, the words “mentally retarded” were used quite a bit which dated the book and made me search whether the info was even relevant. I’ve read several other books that attribute these same symptoms to a gluten sensitivity. It would be interesting to see the link between b12, absorption and gluten if there is one.

If you have any...

symptoms your doctor's can't figure out, read this book and if it fits, demand the tests. If the tests are negative, you've lost a few dollars and checked another "not that" box. If they're positive and you get proper treatment you could literally save your own life, regain function, be in less pain, have less fatigue, stop brain damage, repair nerves to a certain extent. Which would you rather lose? A few dollars, or your health, your mind or possibly your life?

very helpful

Very helpful. I feel I learned a lot and I will continue to advo6fpr myself!

Thank you...

... for helping me save my own brain. Many issues, and still I don't feel my MD thinks it's relevant, but my cognitive ability is important to me and I will take care of it if no one else will.

I’m a strong believer in vitamins and your health. Good information for your overall wellness and well-being in those around you.
