My partner had C.O.P.D. and was diagnosed with terminal cancer at the end of August. He was also told that he was deficient in vitamin B12. and folic acid. When I done some research I was really shocked. He'd been showing lots of the symptoms for years. He was 55 and he died on Friday 23 December. I'm absolutely devastated. My world has totally collapsed. I honestly believe that it was the deficiency that was the precursor to the cancer of the esophagus. So glad you're spreading the word.
I'm so very sorry for your loss of your husband. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to many varied symptoms and a lot of people are unaware of the damage that it can cause. I went undiagnosed for some years and I now have permanent nerve damage which affects my ability to walk. I will keep you and your husband in my thoughts and in my prayers If that is alright with you. God Bless You.❤️🙏
@@moonshadow3946 Thank you 🥲. Looking back (isn't hindsight wonderful) I think it had been going on for years. He changed so much. At times he became a real tyrant, but he was my tyrant and I miss him. I greatly appreciate you keeping us in your prayers. x

My wife had COPD. Then developed breast cancer. We cured both with a plant diet. No B12. Once her gut flora was healthy B12 was produced in her gut! The same as all plant eaters.
I’m a counsellor, a lady I saw was highly depressed and suicidal. She was found by her GP to have B12 deficiency after a series of B12 shots her mood changed completely for the better. When clients are depressed or suicidal I refer them initially for full blood tests and many have been found to be B12 & D deficient. I now take B12, D and C supplements. Thank you for highlighting these issues❤

I'm not a doctor. I am terribly morbidly obese. My GPs all said my physical issues were because of obesity/pre-diabetes/syndrome X. I went to an Endocrinologist. 16 vials of blood later. I was dangerously low in B12, D, Calcium, C and Iron. 3 weeks of D and B12, not just lacking human growth hormones. I started taking those vitamins by the handfuls at my Endocrinologist's request...my painful symptoms, balance, morbid depression, stiff muscles, painful bones started dissipating. And then I was diagnosed with severe endocrine issues...Always advocate for your health. Even if it means paying all out of pocket medical tests. The life you save is your own.
I felt ill for a few years. Badly ill. I am a normal weight. I am 44 years old. And started to get really breathless. Weak. And unable to walk far without feeling like I was going to pass out. Mouth sores on the corner of my lips. And as the video says, complete lack of appetite. It really affected my life. My job. My relationship. Turns out after blood tests, I was seriously lacking B12 and folic acid. I am now on prescribed medication, and I feel so much better. So anyone watching this, that doesn't feel well, please try and get help. Thank you for this video.
I’m not well at all . How did you get better? I’m on shots every 3 days and I feel so bad. I’m 25 just turned it . It all started 1 year ago I’m desperate to get better. My b12 was 58 in June 2022
@@tinyty6570 I'm very sorry to hear that you feel so unwell. Believe me. I totally understand. I'm not fully ok and well yet. But I do feel a bit better than previously. Feeling so weak where you can't do anything much is not a nice place to be in. Bit too much information, but I also have terrible stomach issues. In my case, after 2 years+ (no exaggeration,) of trying to get a GP appointment. I got one. She was really understanding and recommended blood tests. Then the results showed all these deficiencies. Rather than being upset that I had medical problems, I was actually relieved.And felt validated. As in thank goodness, its not all in my head. Because people don't understand when you say, 'I can't do this right now. I don't want to go out right now, because quite frankly my legs aren't supporting my torso." So the medication I have been prescribed is prescribed strength folic acid daily, D12 or B12, (not sure of the name, as not at home right now.) And that's two huge tablets once a week. Lanzoprozole. And serotonin. When I started to take those prescriptions, it was the first time in months I was able to go the shops and get groceries, without having to sit down on the way just to be able to continue to walk. Right now I am staying around my friends house for two days, and as it was on a whim I didn't bring my medication. And I am suffering badly. So yeah. I wasn't/am not well. And medication works when needed.
@@johnbyrne9691 what’s lanzoprozple if you don’t mind me asking, I take b12 too but in shots form.

Happened to me too. Went to doctor and couldn’t find what was wrong with me. I was really, really sick. Had all those symptoms and more but symptoms were severe. One doctor said I was depressed. It took me months to feel like myself again. I struggled to get healthy again. This may have been the problem!

Another symptom is having vertical ridges on your nails. I didn't understand why I developed these bumpy ridges on almost all my nails, my doctor said it was a B12 deficiency.
I have a huge amount of symptoms headaches , extremely tired , muscle pain , ulcers on my tongue , thinning hair , black lines in my nails , tintus, finger pain , loss of appetite and I noticed when I pull my bottom eye lid it’s not pink it’s very pale whitish xx
I had many of the symptoms you listed but my doctor never suggested B12. She just sympathised but offered nothing. We keep being told to see our doctor but mine seems to be only a referral service.
I’ve had the same experience. Doctors don’t seem to have a clue. I’m now consulting a nutritionist instead. I’m severely B12 deficient and had no idea.
I'm very fortunate that my sister-in-law is incredibly informative on subjects such as these. I just started taking B12 and after about a week I honestly am starting to feel a difference. Literally have all of these symptoms.
My mother almost died from a lack of vitamins B12 but we thanks her doctor for catching and treating her on times ism so grateful to ger doctor, all theses severe symptoms was presents especially poor appetite, s.o.b,mood swings, even swelling of the dorsal now with a good diet,and vitamins she's strong and doing much better.thank you for this great video a lots of people's doesn't knows that theiy can die from low B12 vitamins..
Please can you help me I am near deaths door with this at the moment I started getting blisters on my legs and I am waiting on my other bloods back but the one I got back the other day Said my B12 is low and I've been worried sick and just by chance yesterday I was walking home and on the ground someone left a paxk of B12 vitamins and a pack of paracdmol and a define gel like what are the chances of that happening bit I'm really scared my body seems to be shutting down on me any help I would really appreciate I'm scared
A few weeks ago, I’m diagnosed carpal tunnel syndrome by a doctor, my hands and feet got numb and very pain. I’m 38. I have to take vitamin B12 and other neuron pills for about 4 weeks to get better. This is the first time in my life to feel this pain. And now I take vitamin b12 every day
Just suck the B12 tabs DO NOT SWALLOW 👈🏿 Cos stomach acid destroys B12 instantly. B12 is absorbed through the mucus membranes in the mouth. Only way. So, let them melt in your mouth to be absorbed via the mucus membranes. (You prob know this)
Another problem rears it’s ugly head if you become pre-diabetic. Some medicines needed to help remove blood sugar from your liver, if you are low in B12, can cause permanent damage to your heart and jumpstart early onset dementia symptoms. It is vitally important if you are diabetic or pre-diabetic to maintain B12 levels.
Animals can suffer B12 deficiency! My vet found that my male dog was deficient...And Thank God she found it! Further research on my part found that a prlonged B12 deficiency can have lifelong consequences for the nerves. He has always been nervous, and I am giving him shots now, and some good vitamins.
I questioned my doctor about the new Alzheimer’s test when I heard about it on the news. He wasn’t aware of it but understood my concern. He said he’d check my B12 number as it could be a cause of dementia symptoms. My test showed I had a single digit B12 number. He immediately started me on B12 shots every month. I had no other symptoms.
I had loss of hair for a long period of time. Then, lately, I asked my doc to check my B-12 number and it was a little below the good numbers. He gave me the B-12 shots of 1.000 units each, one per week, during 6 week-period. Then I had the blood checked again for the B-12 and it had gone up favourably. I also feel fatigue sometimes. Blesses. Greetings from Brazil.
You are a lifesaver. I have had many of these symptoms for months! Especially the mouth ( very dry and sore) and blurred vision and weak. I have also had loss of appetite and weight loss. I think this will solve the problem. Bless you!!!👍🙏
Try using b complex injections from neurobion if they have it in your country. So much better than pills. I had a bad deficiency because of a stomach problem, and those injections reversed everything. Search about it and give it a try.
Thank you so much. I have a B12 deficiency, but fortunately I’m having a series of injections to put this right 6 injections in 2 weeks, then after 12 weeks a booster. I have suffered most of the symptoms that you mentioned. I’m 74, with rheumatoid arthritis, which creates a mobility problem any way, but I’m confident that these injections will improve and eradicate these symptoms. Thank you again for highlighting this problem, and I hope that people will take notice of the dangers of B12 deficiency. I will certainly subscribe to your channel
Once you've had your "loading dose" you should have regular injections, unless you're able to absorb B12 from food or oral supplements. If you stop you'll become deficient again.
Something else - I had many of these symptoms for years and, apart from a B12 deficiency, .. I had a HUGE improvement after taking 2 x 250 mg of Vit B1 (Thiamine Nitrate) every morning . It sounds a lot but very little is absorbed. Probably better to stagger the dose - say, one at breakfast and one early afternoon. Cannot recommend it highly enough. try it … B1 (even large doses) is not toxic. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT POST by the way … so hit that like button.
Thanks for reminding that my B12 shot is due. I suffer from pernicious anemia and need the shots regularly. But emergence of these symptoms remind me that I need to resume my shots. Thanks!
@@reenusharma5156 Bone marrow aspiration test along with peripheral blood smear test and RDW (in CBC). Any one interested in learning about B12, there is a book by Sally Pachalok (pioneer in importance of Vitamin B12) named 'Could it be B12 - an Epidemic of Misdiagnoses'. It throws light upon so many facets which most (not all) doctors miss.
@@suhaleakther1717 Thanks for asking. Taking shots helps to relieve the symptoms. More than the doctors, the book by Sally Pachalok - Could it be B12 - an Epidemic of Misdiagnoses has saved my life. Anyone interested must read this book.
Your heart and kidney care. 11 stents, two heart attacks and a quadra bypass. 11th stent, I decided to quit the meds and a very good doctor did blood work and put me on B12 shots.. no heart problem from 2012 to 2019 when a doctor took away my B12, saying Medicare wouldn't pay for the shot. What is more expensive, a once a month shot or a bypass surgery.
I googled symptoms of b12 deficiency because that is what I have and have to take vitamins. One symptom I have/had was heart palpitations(felt like my heart was skipping a beat) and it went away after a week of taking the vitamins. I am no doctor but just wanted to give a bit more into my experience to see if this can help anyone else who may be feeling the same. I also have most of these other symptoms when I miss taking the vitamin and had them before taking them.
thak you for sharing with us, I need this but never know how much to take as you can't trust what the label says,,where does that info come from,just wondering
I think doctors often overlook this. My sister had tingling and numbness in her feet in her 30's. Initially diagnosed as MS. She had pernicious anemia instead. Vit.B does not get assimilated in her stomach. She gets monthly shots of B12. THIS DOES NOT WORK WITHOUT THE ADDITION OF FOLIC ACID. A simple drugstore addition kf folic acid is all that's needed. Without it the symptoms return - falling, confusion, graying hair, extreme tiredness, ect.
Folic acid is synthetic and is not ideal bec of side effects down the track. Buy FOLATE instead - it’s natural. The latest info on B12 is that it is best absorbed as troches via the mucus membranes in the mouth. Avoid swallowing as long as possible. Any b12 swallowed is immediately destroyed by stomach acid.
@@Skybluewindcool The MS diagnosus was ruled out. They actually diagnosed the pernicious anemia through a spinal tap. All of this happened over 40 years ago. I don't know what symptoms would have led to MS diagnosis.
I have a few of the symptoms you listed and realize that it very well could be after forgetting to take my Vit B complex pill. I'll start back asap. Thanks so much!
Thankyou for this info very useful. Please bear in mind that some B12 deficiency occurs because of lack of intrinsic factor in digestive system , so B12 is not absorbed thru diet, and B12 jabs are essential to balance this deficiency.
@@Luke_Sidewalker can you please name a sublingual brand to take so we get the right kind at the store. Can you get good results using the sublingual drops? Do these drops also contain the folate or do we buy that separate? Thanks
I can't tell you what I'm thinking about that question, but I would .ask a tarot card reader,I'm learning to believe what one special one is telling us,35 yrs now,,found out she's a truther,I love her ,,youtube
Just had this diagnosis recently extremely low folic acid/ VB12. They have only started screening for this in routine blood checks. I really thought I was dying or going mad. I eat fresh cooked food with plenty of veggies, I don't smoke, take un- prescribed drugs or drink alcohol so I couldn't understand why I was feeling the way I did. No energy, dragging myself around, not able to form my thoughts and in some cases words, it affected my home and work life to the point where I was being cautioned about my work productivity level and reduced ability to effectively work and then at home, I couldn't summon the effort to take care of my self or my home. I was also having thoughts about self termination as life had become so bad I couldn't see it getting better as to top it all my blood pressure was stroke inducing high....I was a mess. Started on folic acid tabs along with prescribed med to relax my veins and I'm feeling much better. Note - its probably coincidental but since my last covid jab in Dec 2021 I have not been well, starting with de- ranged bloods resulting in an 8 day hospitalisation which discovered, sensitive liver, cysts on kidneys. Later in 2022 I developed Covid followed by shingles, hair loss ( grown back now) leading up to this current condition....I feel I have been injured but I could never prove it.
@Cinders I believe that you are correct about the COVID jab. I already had megaloblastic anaemia and am on iron, folic acid tablets and was getting b12 injections until my lovely Dr. retired. The new Dr. won't give me the B12 injections and since I got the COVID injection I have had recurrent bouts of shingles and although I have always suffered from migraines, since the COVID injection the migraines are even more excruciating than before I got the COVID injection. The migraines are also more frequent than before. I really hope your health will improve soon. It sounds like you're going through a very difficult time. Thank you for your post. Now I don't feel so alone in my quest for health. Mel.💐
@@melmatthews5876 thanks Mel, I'm on the mend now, BP still high, but much lower than it was. I take it at home every morning and record it on the GP app associated with my doctors surgery and this reduces the need foe me to take time out to visit them. The folic acid tabs which I purchase over the counter are doing their job too, much more energy now. Interestingly enough, the surgery nurse said my iron count was good and they could see from the blood analysis that my diet was good with lots of veggies,, no booze etc, but they had only started looking at folic acid levels. Lots of other people my age ( in their 60's) seem to be having similar problems.....and again, pre- coving jabs we were all healthy and active. Hope your own health continues to Improve, you are not alone, and when you feel its too much, come and find us xx take care xx
@@lovescatsthing Hi Cinders. Thank you for your lovely reply to my message. I'm so glad to hear that your iron levels are fine and that you are being treated properly for any deficiencies or complications you may have. I too am a non drinker and non smoker. I also take a folic acid tablet but the doctor has to prescribe it as it's much stronger than anything I can buy over the counter. However, for the life of me, I can't understand why he won't give me my B12 injections. Anyway, enough about me. Please don't let your mind go to a dark place. I know how important jobs are but you are so much more than your job/career. It's not your fault that you became unwell. At least you know now that you have lots of people, including myself, who know what you are feeling is real. We will all support each other. I wish you a huge improvement in your health and much happiness in your life. Sincerely, Mel💐🙋🏻♀️
Just a update. Issues resolved, strength and stamina back. Also all the hard build up of skin on the sole of my feet has stopped when I eat beef once a day!
@Homie You are SO WRONG !! You are way behind the new research and the astounding success of chronically ill people* curing themselves after years (and sometimes a life time) of chronic illness simply by adopting the CARNIVORE DIET. *. Google Mikhaila Peterson or “Low Carb Down Under” -you will be glad you did.
@Homie vegans die with spongy aerated bones. Thank you, no. You eat your way to whatever state you want. Leave me to do the same. Red meat cures a myriad of ills. Your disapproval does not change fact.
@Homie nope, my great aunt was 105. What a pathetic way to argue, by wishing a family early death. We're long lived, and not a vegan in sight. I've been eating this way since LONG BEFORE the trendy books came out. You can spot a vegan from 100 yards. Pale, pasty, flabby fleshed and violently opposed to accepting anyone else's way of life. You can't shut up and leave others alone. Being hungry constantly make you irritable. I don't care what you eat, just don't get in my way. My bones won't snap, but you'll be on calcium pills to save your life. And you'll still be insisting they be vegan. What a farce.
I was under the impression that until one ages, B12 was provided by gut cells and excess was stored in the liver. When that function atrophies, B12 supplementation is then beneficial but not taken as a pill. Stomach and digestive juices inactivate it: B12 injections were the preferred method of providing the vitamin. Now, B12 is available as a sublingual troche, just slip it under your tongue. Incidently, if you are diabetic and taking Metformin you will need B12 supplementation because Metformin will deplete any B12 made or stored in the liver
My body stopped making the Intrinsic Factor in the stomach that converts meats into B12 and stores it in the liver. I ran out completely of B12, zero, something the doctors had never seen. I had Pernicious anemia and lost all muscle function and brain function. I couldn't write or type. When this was finally recognized, I was pumped with B12 shots and put into physical therapy to learn to sit, transfer to a wheelchair, do all the handicapped things, and, most importantly, learn to stand and walk. I was in in-house PE for 2 months to reach a point where I could stand. I then did 3 months of outpatient PE to be able to finally take a few steps. As time went by and I kept taking B12 shots, I got to where I could walk with a cane. All other functions returned except for balance. I am lucky to be alive.
I have PA you need daily or EOD injections, as b12 only stays active for 24 hours as staring in liver is no good as it releases into gut and as you know as we have no intrinsic value we cannot absorb it. You also need to check folate and ferritin as these interact with b12. Also increase potassium in your diet. I would also recommend going diary and gluten free and looking at clay to help repair gut.
@Homie I take monthly injections of B12 and have for the past 13 years. Pills and under-the-tongue pills do not work for me. Also, just as an FYI, you can't overdose on B12. I don't mind injection B12 at all. It doesn't hurt.
I constantly have varying degrees of all these symotoms, and let me tell you, it's really awful, especially as my body over-reacts to taking b12 cyanocobalamin, that can last weeks. However, i do take unfortified, inactive nutritional yeast, which helps so much, and b3, niacinamide supplement, which i do manage to tolerate.
I have the fatigue/dizzy/balance issues and the worst for me is the difficulty in concentration. I also have to, at times, really concentrate to say words clearly, otherwise I feel I would sound slightly slurred, so wonder if that is a possible sign of lacking B12.
@@jamalcarter9236 My blood test said my B12 was slightly over average due to taking B12 tablets, so need to find another cause. IF I find out I'll let you know.
I have pernicious anemia (B12 autoimmune deficiency). If the person has neurological damage, such as the tingling limbs, memory loss, balance issues, etc, you should have B12 injections every other day until no further improvement. You must take folic acid for the B12 to do its job. Maintain adequate potassium and iron levels. The only people that will recover from B12 deficiency with tablets are possibly vegans. If you eat animal products regularly and are deficient, you will not absorb from tablets. Your blood test will show an increase but that does not mean your body can access it or use it. B12 intrinsic factor tests are horribly outdated and only 60% accurate thus do not rule out pernicious anemia. Thank you for bringing this issue to the public but you are missing a lot of important information. I've seen many doctors and none of them understand this issue. They had maybe 30 minutes of lecture while in medical school. Be a good advocate for yourself and learn all you can. This is the reason I am not in diapers, or a wheelchair/bed bound, and can communicate. See another doctor if they only want to give you tablets.
EOnutrition (Elliot Overton) is your man for the (extremely prevalent) B1 deficiency. No need to take his expensive forms - I started taking 2 tablets of 250 mg Thiamine Nitrate (over the counter) at breakfast and the difference in my energy and well being was amazing. 250 mgs … sounds a lot but very little is absorbed … also you can take many times more than that if you choose as it is not toxic even in extremely high doses. I presume you have looked it up - lots of info on it. It is very serious but Vit B1 is your first port of call … imo. Of course, NO alcohol from this moment on …

I just subscribed to your channel. I had all these symptoms and ignored them expecting to get healed naturally. I realized it was getting worse and decided to visit the Doctor. I had me running series of tests upon request by My GP and she sought to know if I was a vegetarian, after having scanned through my results (that which I'm not.) Meanwhile I have been trying to control my milk, egg, fish and meat intake for the fear that consuming too much of that might result in a terrible health issue. It turns out that I had an acid reflux which destructed my body (stomach) from absorbing the nutrients my body requires for a healthy growth. Hence, the Dr. Prescribed some vitamin D supplements and others to correct that. This video is very supportive. I hope to get more notifications.
To tell you about me I was diagnosed with gastritis with lots of acid and burning and chest pain I take pantrapeozole, omepeazole . But symptoms of gastritis was devasting and now having something jumping on my body and head . Wondering if a feroglobin supplements will work .
B12 should be taken at least EOD whilst monitoring folate, ferritin and potassium. In addition if you taking ferritin you need good vit c to fully absorb ferritin. Without high folate and ferritin your b12 will be not absorbed as well. B12 only stays active in your body for 24hours if you cannot absorb or have PA. So tablets and drops are not enough to stay healthy.
Fyi. Listen to MORLEY ROBBINS utubes - he knows all about ferritin/ iron in our bodies. The doctors have got it all wrong … as usual. Yawn. (They are Big Pharma-educated - that’s the reason) I was so blown away that I bought MR’s book! Truth is - we are all Iron Toxic and Copper deficient. Almost no-one needs iron 👈🏿 … you will LOVE Morley Robbins. 💕
I have neuropathy in both feet and carpel tunnel in one hand, tingling and numbness. Also have balance and intestinal problems. Low B12 reading so get two B12 shots a month. While probably not the primary cause of my symptoms, a B12 deficiency could be a contributing factor. By the way, not diabetic). B12 vitamins are generally disposed of in the urine if not needed.
Latest info is that sub-lingual B12 tabs (troches ) are actually *superior* to injections - much cheaper by far ! Just make sure the B12 is absorbed in the mouth (mucus membranes) not swallowed …
@@yvettegomez4588 No - a troche is a lozenge which is used specifically when B12 is needed. As B12 is immediately destroyed by stomach acid 👈🏿(so can not be ingested) it is critical that you leave the troches (eg the B12 tablet) under the tongue to get into the blood stream via the mucus membranes under the tongue or cheeks. ANY B12 you swallow is LOST. So be patient and if wait till it is dissolved .. it will take up to 30 minutes. Latest science on this subject says that you absorb more B12 via the mucus membranes than even via injection. Cheers … 🤗

I've read about 500mg. Over doing B12 can cause damage to your kidneys, so you don't want to over do it for too long. I learned about this after buying 2000mg B12, after I finish this bottle, I'll switch to a lower dosage tablet.
One of the things that let me know I am low in B12 is when I have a nervous eye tick. But I am now taking it because the other day I had blurred vision & yesterday I had pain in my feet. Hopefully that is it. I have practice alternative medicine for 55 years. I was reluctant to experiment on my children. But each time I did so, after research & research, it was well worth it. I reversed my eldest son, after two ear surgery & years of prescription medicine, ear health. They were threatening with permanent hearing aides. OMG. But I reversed it within one month. Since then I was more able to treat my youngest son's environmental allergies, my daughters stomach issues. And ect
I have pernicious anaemia so have to have monthly injections & you can see easily when I’m running low as my skin goes super pale & my eyes look black under & around them also have iron folate deficiency & have had to have 2 iron infusions- I’m only 39
Carli Jasmine - try to access MORLEY ROBBINS re iron in our body. He has a book called Cu-re … also lots of videos on utube. He is way ahead of doctors on this story. Don’t miss him. The medical establishment measurement of iron is TOTALLY WRONG in Morley’s opinion. I love him - he is next level.

@@DanaDanewitAllDaFam on google the article is saying that a few people causes hyperpigmentation all over skin but it's very rare !!what can I do to remove it can you tell pls?
@prarishxlove don't stop at one article...keep researching I have read many articles that have discussed that one of your first tell tale signs of hyperpigmentation/discoloration of the body hand,knuckles,face back THE BODY IS B12 DEFICIENCY! LACK OF RED BLOOD CELLS.......that is what gives us our color our melanin healthy red /white blood cells no B12 you don't have much red cells at all! Get u a B12/ folic acid supplement now! It only can help u not hurt u
What if I have all of these symptoms but my B12 level is at 1999 without supplements. I feel like doctors aren't listening to me but I know something is wrong
Sept I took a medication called Jardiance ,so I lost 30 pounds in 7 days and I checked my B12 deficiency and it was low ,the doctor ignored and now my whole body is in neuropathy shock..Three months in Canada cannot see a specialist..cannot sit ,sleep or work due to fatigue and pain in hands or leg.
The first thing I did as soon as I saw this video was I ran out and got myself some B12 feeling better already got it under my tongue and feeling better as it dissolves
My doctor,'s are so good ......., i have seen them several times because my hands and arms go numb at night. More recently i have had mouth ulcers and a very sore tongue, and also found i was off balance for a while. But the doctor's i see ( alway's different one's ) have never mentioned that i could be B 12 deficint !!! I met a friend recently and she suggested it might be helpful. Thank you for this giving me this insight .
Does having an underactive thyroid affect B12 deficiency? I have numb toes and feet and asked my doctor for a blood test, he said I was not B12 deficient and that tight shoes could be the cause, which I don't think is the cause as they are not tight. I bought my own B12 tablets and take them every day, my toes are still numb.I fell last year and broke my arm after stumbling. Do I need injections if I have malabsorption? I don't want the numbness to get worse. Thank you
i would like to add that B12 is mostly destroyed in the stomace so not much gets to us, this is why it can be a problem, the best advice i can give is get a sublingual B12 that way it will be absobed.
Insufficient diet for vegetarians, or vegans since it comes animal products. Also the use of certain medications make you unable to absorb or process it well such as heartburn medications nexium, Prilosec, etc, and type 2 diabetes meds like metformin even if the medication is no longer needed the change in processing might stay.
Animal Products don't produce B12 B12 is bacteria commonly found in our soils..... But with the recent trends of GMOs, Pesticides , Chemtrails , etc.... B12 is severely depleted from our soils... So mostly you have to either take a high quality supplement or eat red meat.... Would not reccomend Dairy products.
I swear on my life that someone was listening on my phone about this topic because I was just talking about me having less vitamin b12 and vitamin d the other day, and low and behold, this video comes up on UA-cam as a recommendation to watch. Damn. lol
I have gastroparasis due to diabetes, I had all these symptoms, pounding heartbeat in my ear, palpitations and extreme shortness of breath, I was found to be very anaemic and B12 deficient, I was given iron tablets that relieved the symptoms somewhat, but an iron infusion made a massive difference, I was told because of the gastroparasis I don’t absorb iron in tablet’s, but my new GP insists I have iron tablets instead of the infusion, I can’t understand why, it’s very upsetting
If you've been told you can't get the iron you need in tablet form, and your new GP isn't listening, find a new, new GP. You don't have to put up with a doctor who isn't as concerned about your health as you are.
Is social anxiety are due to vitamin B12 I DNT knw why anxiety happens to me and body goes pain Everytime and my headache starts whenever I go outside in sunlight
It never really clears I've had it for at least 5oyrs or more then I wasn't treated cause they didn't know what it was too long a story my feet are bad all the time like walking on raw tingling nerves I cleaned a pub for 15yrs I was known for doing it without shoes on still can't keep shoes on for long x
Same I was diagnosed in 2021, now once every two month but my symptom return about a month later , over tired , mobility issues lose fucus ,it,s too long to wait in-between 😮
Can it cause pain in hands and feet. Because ive been getting pain on and off. When i started supplenting it. It got better but it may be something else and its just a coincidence.

Zoe sunshine thanks. Much
My partner had C.O.P.D. and was diagnosed with terminal cancer at the end of August. He was also told that he was deficient in vitamin B12. and folic acid. When I done some research I was really shocked. He'd been showing lots of the symptoms for years. He was 55 and he died on Friday 23 December. I'm absolutely devastated. My world has totally collapsed. I honestly believe that it was the deficiency that was the precursor to the cancer of the esophagus. So glad you're spreading the word.
I'm so very sorry for your loss of your husband. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to many varied symptoms and a lot of people are unaware of the damage that it can cause. I went undiagnosed for some years and I now have permanent nerve damage which affects my ability to walk. I will keep you and your husband in my thoughts and in my prayers If that is alright with you. God Bless You.❤️🙏
@@moonshadow3946 Thank you 🥲. Looking back (isn't hindsight wonderful) I think it had been going on for years. He changed so much. At times he became a real tyrant, but he was my tyrant and I miss him. I greatly appreciate you keeping us in your prayers. x

I’m so sorry for your loss.
My wife had COPD. Then developed breast cancer. We cured both with a plant diet. No B12. Once her gut flora was healthy B12 was produced in her gut! The same as all plant eaters.
I’m a counsellor, a lady I saw was highly depressed and suicidal. She was found by her GP to have B12 deficiency after a series of B12 shots her mood changed completely for the better. When clients are depressed or suicidal I refer them initially for full blood tests and many have been found to be B12 & D deficient. I now take B12, D and C supplements. Thank you for highlighting these issues❤

I'm not a doctor. I am terribly morbidly obese. My GPs all said my physical issues were because of obesity/pre-diabetes/syndrome X. I went to an Endocrinologist. 16 vials of blood later. I was dangerously low in B12, D, Calcium, C and Iron. 3 weeks of D and B12, not just lacking human growth hormones. I started taking those vitamins by the handfuls at my Endocrinologist's request...my painful symptoms, balance, morbid depression, stiff muscles, painful bones started dissipating. And then I was diagnosed with severe endocrine issues...Always advocate for your health. Even if it means paying all out of pocket medical tests. The life you save is your own.
That’s ok if you have the money to pay for private tests
I pray you get better and stronger!! Yes, you're right because we only have one body and we should do all we can to take care of it.
I felt ill for a few years. Badly ill.
I am a normal weight.
I am 44 years old. And started to get really breathless. Weak. And unable to walk far without feeling like I was going to pass out.
Mouth sores on the corner of my lips.
And as the video says, complete lack of appetite. It really affected my life. My job. My relationship.
Turns out after blood tests, I was seriously lacking B12 and folic acid.
I am now on prescribed medication, and I feel so much better.
So anyone watching this, that doesn't feel well, please try and get help.
Thank you for this video.
I’m not well at all . How did you get better? I’m on shots every 3 days and I feel so bad. I’m 25 just turned it . It all started 1 year ago I’m desperate to get better. My b12 was 58 in June 2022
Did you have palpitations too?
thanks for sharing the information
@@tinyty6570 I'm very sorry to hear that you feel so unwell.
Believe me. I totally understand.
I'm not fully ok and well yet.
But I do feel a bit better than previously.
Feeling so weak where you can't do anything much is not a nice place to be in.
Bit too much information, but I also have terrible stomach issues.
In my case, after 2 years+ (no exaggeration,) of trying to get a GP appointment. I got one.
She was really understanding and recommended blood tests.
Then the results showed all these deficiencies.
Rather than being upset that I had medical problems, I was actually relieved.And felt validated.
As in thank goodness, its not all in my head.
Because people don't understand when you say, 'I can't do this right now.
I don't want to go out right now, because quite frankly my legs aren't supporting my torso."
So the medication I have been prescribed is prescribed strength folic acid daily, D12 or B12, (not sure of the name, as not at home right now.)
And that's two huge tablets once a week.
Lanzoprozole. And serotonin.
When I started to take those prescriptions, it was the first time in months I was able to go the shops and get groceries, without having to sit down on the way just to be able to continue to walk.
Right now I am staying around my friends house for two days, and as it was on a whim I didn't bring my medication.
And I am suffering badly.
So yeah.
I wasn't/am not well.
And medication works when needed.
@@johnbyrne9691 what’s lanzoprozple if you don’t mind me asking, I take b12 too but in shots form. My b12 was only 58 was so incredibly low

Better to have an not need than to need and not have when I’m having so many issues lately
I just went to the doctor for most of these symptoms. They had no idea as to what can be causing them. Your video may be the answer I need. Thank you.
Happened to me too. Went to doctor and couldn’t find what was wrong with me. I was really, really sick. Had all those symptoms and more but symptoms were severe. One doctor said I was depressed. It took me months to feel like myself again. I struggled to get healthy again. This may have been the problem!

Another symptom is having vertical ridges on your nails. I didn't understand why I developed these bumpy ridges on almost all my nails, my doctor said it was a B12 deficiency.
Mine are a MESS
I have a huge amount of symptoms headaches , extremely tired , muscle pain , ulcers on my tongue , thinning hair , black lines in my nails , tintus, finger pain , loss of appetite and I noticed when I pull my bottom eye lid it’s not pink it’s very pale whitish xx
Oh, I've got that!
I had many of the symptoms you listed but my doctor never suggested B12. She just sympathised but offered nothing. We keep being told to see our doctor but mine seems to be only a referral service.
I’ve had the same experience. Doctors don’t seem to have a clue. I’m now consulting a nutritionist instead. I’m severely B12 deficient and had no idea.
I'm very fortunate that my sister-in-law is incredibly informative on subjects such as these. I just started taking B12 and after about a week I honestly am starting to feel a difference. Literally have all of these symptoms.
@Evilgod wow, such a clever burn...did it take all of the capacity of your singular brain cell to develop that?
I lived in borneo sarawak. My doctors dont bother about these vitamins. Very sad.. they want profit and easy work..
My mother almost died from a lack of vitamins B12 but we thanks her doctor for catching and treating her on times ism so grateful to ger doctor, all theses severe symptoms was presents especially poor appetite, s.o.b,mood swings, even swelling of the dorsal now with a good diet,and vitamins she's strong and doing much better.thank you for this great video a lots of people's doesn't knows that theiy can die from low B12 vitamins..
Please can you help me I am near deaths door with this at the moment I started getting blisters on my legs and I am waiting on my other bloods back but the one I got back the other day Said my B12 is low and I've been worried sick and just by chance yesterday I was walking home and on the ground someone left a paxk of B12 vitamins and a pack of paracdmol and a define gel like what are the chances of that happening bit I'm really scared my body seems to be shutting down on me any help I would really appreciate I'm scared
Thank you. I suffer from B12 deficiency and this video has been of immense help.
A few weeks ago, I’m diagnosed carpal tunnel syndrome by a doctor, my hands and feet got numb and very pain. I’m 38. I have to take vitamin B12 and other neuron pills for about 4 weeks to get better. This is the first time in my life to feel this pain. And now I take vitamin b12 every day
Why neuron pills?
Just suck the B12 tabs
DO NOT SWALLOW 👈🏿
Cos stomach acid destroys B12 instantly.
B12 is absorbed through the mucus membranes in the mouth. Only way.
So, let them melt in your mouth to be absorbed via the mucus membranes.
(You prob know this)
How much b12 should we take every day??
Another problem rears it’s ugly head if you become pre-diabetic. Some medicines needed to help remove blood sugar from your liver, if you are low in B12, can cause permanent damage to your heart and jumpstart early onset dementia symptoms. It is vitally important if you are diabetic or pre-diabetic to maintain B12 levels.
Animals can suffer B12 deficiency! My vet found that my male dog was deficient...And Thank God she found it! Further research on my part found that a prlonged B12 deficiency can have lifelong consequences for the nerves. He has always been nervous, and I am giving him shots now, and some good vitamins.
I questioned my doctor about the new Alzheimer’s test when I heard about it on the news. He wasn’t aware of it but understood my concern. He said he’d check my B12 number as it could be a cause of dementia symptoms. My test showed I had a single digit B12 number. He immediately started me on B12 shots every month. I had no other symptoms.
I had loss of hair for a long period of time. Then, lately, I asked my doc to check my B-12 number and it was a little below the good numbers. He gave me the B-12 shots of 1.000 units each, one per week, during 6 week-period. Then I had the blood checked again for the B-12 and it had gone up favourably. I also feel fatigue sometimes. Blesses. Greetings from Brazil.
You need way more then one shot a month. Look up loading doses and demand more
@@jeniececook8704 They know how my liver works and my shots are extreme doses. My single digits are not up into the hundreds so it’s getting better
@@brenda6162 is better to check ur active b12, folate and iron too.
@Homie I don’t know how much they were giving, I get a shot every month for the last year and I’m still low but better because now I’m in the 100’s
You are a lifesaver. I have had many of these symptoms for months! Especially the mouth ( very dry and sore) and blurred vision and weak. I have also had loss of appetite and weight loss. I think this will solve the problem. Bless you!!!👍🙏
Very informative
Try using b complex injections from neurobion if they have it in your country. So much better than pills. I had a bad deficiency because of a stomach problem, and those injections reversed everything. Search about it and give it a try.

First symptoms were the weird tingling in my hands and feet doctor got me on iron & B12 symptoms are gone and I feel better
Thank you so much. I have a B12 deficiency, but fortunately I’m having a series of injections to put this right
6 injections in 2 weeks, then after 12 weeks a booster. I have suffered most of the symptoms that you mentioned.
I’m 74, with rheumatoid arthritis, which creates a mobility problem any way, but I’m confident that these injections
will improve and eradicate these symptoms.
Thank you again for highlighting this problem, and I hope that people will take notice of the dangers of B12 deficiency.
I will certainly subscribe to your channel
You probably need more regular injections than 12 weeks.
Once you've had your "loading dose" you should have regular injections, unless you're able to absorb B12 from food or oral supplements. If you stop you'll become deficient again.
@@joysherriff8461 ,
Something else - I had many of these symptoms for years and, apart from a B12 deficiency, .. I had a HUGE improvement after taking
2 x 250 mg of Vit B1 (Thiamine Nitrate) every morning . It sounds a lot but very little is absorbed. Probably better to stagger the dose - say, one at breakfast and one early afternoon.
Cannot recommend it highly enough.
try it … B1 (even large doses) is not toxic.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT POST by the way … so hit that like button.
Thanks for reminding that my B12 shot is due. I suffer from pernicious anemia and need the shots regularly. But emergence of these symptoms remind me that I need to resume my shots. Thanks!
are you back to normal?
@maneesha Rajpal, What test is done for pernicious anaemia in India??
@@reenusharma5156 Bone marrow aspiration test along with peripheral blood smear test and RDW (in CBC). Any one interested in learning about B12, there is a book by Sally Pachalok (pioneer in importance of Vitamin B12) named 'Could it be B12 - an Epidemic of Misdiagnoses'. It throws light upon so many facets which most (not all) doctors miss.
@@suhaleakther1717 Thanks for asking. Taking shots helps to relieve the symptoms. More than the doctors, the book by Sally Pachalok - Could it be B12 - an Epidemic of Misdiagnoses has saved my life. Anyone interested must read this book.
Your heart and kidney care.
11 stents, two heart attacks and a quadra bypass. 11th stent, I decided to quit the meds and a very good doctor did blood work and put me on B12 shots.. no heart problem from 2012 to 2019 when a doctor took away my B12, saying Medicare wouldn't pay for the shot. What is more expensive, a once a month shot or a bypass surgery.
Which form of b12 and dose did you take pls?
Buy the pill or liquid form and take it, They don't cost much, and at least you will still be getting some of it in your body!
You can get b12 in a eye droper to put under your tongue at Walmart.
This also leads to weakness of nerves in ears and lead to tinnitus
one of the most underrated vitamin, people usually focus only on Vitamin C, E and A
I googled symptoms of b12 deficiency because that is what I have and have to take vitamins. One symptom I have/had was heart palpitations(felt like my heart was skipping a beat) and it went away after a week of taking the vitamins. I am no doctor but just wanted to give a bit more into my experience to see if this can help anyone else who may be feeling the same. I also have most of these other symptoms when I miss taking the vitamin and had them before taking them.
thak you for sharing with us, I need this but never know how much to take as you can't trust what the label says,,where does that info come from,just wondering
Gosh I have a lot of these symptoms, just ordered B12 with folic acid. This makes so much sense. Thank you for this video!!!
Folic acid is synthetic - search for FOLATE it’s natural
I think doctors often overlook this. My sister had tingling and numbness in her feet in her 30's. Initially diagnosed as MS. She had pernicious anemia instead. Vit.B does not get assimilated in her stomach. She gets monthly shots of B12. THIS DOES NOT WORK WITHOUT THE ADDITION OF FOLIC ACID. A simple drugstore addition kf folic acid is all that's needed. Without it the symptoms return - falling, confusion, graying hair, extreme tiredness, ect.
Folic acid is synthetic and is not ideal bec of side effects down the track.
Buy FOLATE instead - it’s natural.
The latest info on B12 is that it is best absorbed as troches via the mucus membranes in the mouth. Avoid swallowing as long as possible.
Any b12 swallowed is immediately destroyed by stomach acid.
What are her MS symptomps ?
Did she had constant tingling and numbness in her feet ?
Yes. She had constant tingling and numbness in her feet. It made it impossible for her to drive a car.
@@Skybluewindcool The MS diagnosus was ruled out. They actually diagnosed the pernicious anemia through a spinal tap. All of this happened over 40 years ago. I don't know what symptoms would have led to MS diagnosis.
I have a few of the symptoms you listed and realize that it very well could be after forgetting to take my Vit B complex pill. I'll start back asap. Thanks so much!
Thankyou for this info very useful. Please bear in mind that some B12 deficiency occurs because of lack of intrinsic factor in digestive system , so B12 is not absorbed thru diet, and B12 jabs are essential to balance this deficiency.
Yes it's true

Give him a try ….
Pill pushers. Not drug dealers.
Just had this diagnosis recently extremely low folic acid/ VB12. They have only started screening for this in routine blood checks. I really thought I was dying or going mad. I eat fresh cooked food with plenty of veggies, I don't smoke, take un- prescribed drugs or drink alcohol so I couldn't understand why I was feeling the way I did. No energy, dragging myself around, not able to form my thoughts and in some cases words, it affected my home and work life to the point where I was being cautioned about my work productivity level and reduced ability to effectively work and then at home, I couldn't summon the effort to take care of my self or my home. I was also having thoughts about self termination as life had become so bad I couldn't see it getting better as to top it all my blood pressure was stroke inducing high....I was a mess. Started on folic acid tabs along with prescribed med to relax my veins and I'm feeling much better. Note - its probably coincidental but since my last covid jab in Dec 2021 I have not been well, starting with de- ranged bloods resulting in an 8 day hospitalisation which discovered, sensitive liver, cysts on kidneys. Later in 2022 I developed Covid followed by shingles, hair loss ( grown back now) leading up to this current condition....I feel I have been injured but I could never prove it.
@Cinders I believe that you are correct about the COVID jab. I already had megaloblastic anaemia and am on iron, folic acid tablets and was getting b12 injections until my lovely Dr. retired. The new Dr. won't give me the B12 injections and since I got the COVID injection I have had recurrent bouts of shingles and although I have always suffered from migraines, since the COVID injection the migraines are even more excruciating than before I got the COVID injection. The migraines are also more frequent than before. I really hope your health will improve soon. It sounds like you're going through a very difficult time. Thank you for your post. Now I don't feel so alone in my quest for health. Mel.💐
@@melmatthews5876 thanks Mel, I'm on the mend now, BP still high, but much lower than it was. I take it at home every morning and record it on the GP app associated with my doctors surgery and this reduces the need foe me to take time out to visit them. The folic acid tabs which I purchase over the counter are doing their job too, much more energy now. Interestingly enough, the surgery nurse said my iron count was good and they could see from the blood analysis that my diet was good with lots of veggies,, no booze etc, but they had only started looking at folic acid levels. Lots of other people my age ( in their 60's) seem to be having similar problems.....and again, pre- coving jabs we were all healthy and active. Hope your own health continues to Improve, you are not alone, and when you feel its too much, come and find us xx take care xx
@@lovescatsthing Hi Cinders. Thank you for your lovely reply to my message. I'm so glad to hear that your iron levels are fine and that you are being treated properly for any deficiencies or complications you may have.
I too am a non drinker and non smoker. I also take a folic acid tablet but the doctor has to prescribe it as it's much stronger than anything I can buy over the counter. However, for the life of me, I can't understand why he won't give me my B12 injections.
Anyway, enough about me. Please don't let your mind go to a dark place. I know how important jobs are but you are so much more than your job/career. It's not your fault that you became unwell. At least you know now that you have lots of people, including myself, who know what you are feeling is real. We will all support each other. I wish you a huge improvement in your health and much happiness in your life.

Just a update. Issues resolved, strength and stamina back. Also all the hard build up of skin on the sole of my feet has stopped when I eat beef once a day!
@Homie
You are SO WRONG !!
You are way behind the new research and the astounding success of chronically ill people* curing themselves after years (and sometimes a life time) of chronic illness simply by adopting the CARNIVORE DIET.
*. Google Mikhaila Peterson
or “Low Carb Down Under”
-you will be glad you did.
I eat red meat daily, too. It's the only cure for my anemia. The animal ate all the veggies I need.
@Homie vegans die with spongy aerated bones. Thank you, no. You eat your way to whatever state you want. Leave me to do the same. Red meat cures a myriad of ills. Your disapproval does not change fact.
@Homie nope, my great aunt was 105. What a pathetic way to argue, by wishing a family early death. We're long lived, and not a vegan in sight. I've been eating this way since LONG BEFORE the trendy books came out. You can spot a vegan from 100 yards. Pale, pasty, flabby fleshed and violently opposed to accepting anyone else's way of life. You can't shut up and leave others alone. Being hungry constantly make you irritable. I don't care what you eat, just don't get in my way. My bones won't snap, but you'll be on calcium pills to save your life. And you'll still be insisting they be vegan. What a farce.
I was under the impression that until one ages, B12 was provided by gut cells and excess was stored in the liver. When that function atrophies, B12 supplementation is
then beneficial but not taken as a pill. Stomach and digestive juices inactivate it: B12 injections were the preferred method of providing the vitamin. Now, B12 is available as a sublingual troche, just slip it under your tongue. Incidently, if you are diabetic and taking Metformin you will need B12 supplementation because Metformin will deplete any B12 made or stored in the liver
My body stopped making the Intrinsic Factor in the stomach that converts meats into B12 and stores it in the liver. I ran out completely of B12, zero, something the doctors had never seen. I had Pernicious anemia and lost all muscle function and brain function. I couldn't write or type. When this was finally recognized, I was pumped with B12 shots and put into physical therapy to learn to sit, transfer to a wheelchair, do all the handicapped things, and, most importantly, learn to stand and walk. I was in in-house PE for 2 months to reach a point where I could stand. I then did 3 months of outpatient PE to be able to finally take a few steps. As time went by and I kept taking B12 shots, I got to where I could walk with a cane. All other functions returned except for balance. I am lucky to be alive.
I have PA you need daily or EOD injections, as b12 only stays active for 24 hours as staring in liver is no good as it releases into gut and as you know as we have no intrinsic value we cannot absorb it. You also need to check folate and ferritin as these interact with b12. Also increase potassium in your diet. I would also recommend going diary and gluten free and looking at clay to help repair gut.
EXCELLENT and necessary post. 🤗
@@madampolo JEEEEESUS …
@Homie I take monthly injections of B12 and have for the past 13 years. Pills and under-the-tongue pills do not work for me. Also, just as an FYI, you can't overdose on B12. I don't mind injection B12 at all. It doesn't hurt.
I constantly have varying degrees of all these symotoms, and let me tell you, it's really awful, especially as my body over-reacts to taking b12 cyanocobalamin, that can last weeks. However, i do take unfortified, inactive nutritional yeast, which helps so much, and b3, niacinamide supplement, which i do manage to tolerate.
I have the fatigue/dizzy/balance issues and the worst for me is the difficulty in concentration. I also have to, at times, really concentrate to say words clearly, otherwise I feel I would sound slightly slurred, so wonder if that is a possible sign of lacking B12.
Its two of us .

You are so insightful for describing me so well 😂.. I ve been eating nothing but jank all of my life.. and those symptoms have become a big part of me
I have pernicious anemia (B12 autoimmune deficiency). If the person has neurological damage, such as the tingling limbs, memory loss, balance issues, etc, you should have B12 injections every other day until no further improvement. You must take folic acid for the B12 to do its job. Maintain adequate potassium and iron levels. The only people that will recover from B12 deficiency with tablets are possibly vegans. If you eat animal products regularly and are deficient, you will not absorb from tablets. Your blood test will show an increase but that does not mean your body can access it or use it. B12 intrinsic factor tests are horribly outdated and only 60% accurate thus do not rule out pernicious anemia. Thank you for bringing this issue to the public but you are missing a lot of important information. I've seen many doctors and none of them understand this issue. They had maybe 30 minutes of lecture while in medical school. Be a good advocate for yourself and learn all you can. This is the reason I am not in diapers, or a wheelchair/bed bound, and can communicate. See another doctor if they only want to give you tablets.
I would really like to see a video about Vitamin B1 defiency and it’s repercussions including wet brain disease. Thank you
EOnutrition (Elliot Overton) is your man for the (extremely prevalent) B1 deficiency.
No need to take his expensive forms - I started taking 2 tablets of 250 mg Thiamine Nitrate (over the counter) at breakfast and the difference in my energy and well being was amazing. 250 mgs … sounds a lot but very little is absorbed … also you can take many times more than that if you choose as it is not toxic even in extremely high doses.
I presume you have looked it up - lots of info on it. It is very serious but Vit B1 is your first port of call … imo.
Of course, NO alcohol from this moment on …

I just subscribed to your channel. I had all these symptoms and ignored them expecting to get healed naturally. I realized it was getting worse and decided to visit the Doctor. I had me running series of tests upon request by My GP and she sought to know if I was a vegetarian, after having scanned through my results (that which I'm not.) Meanwhile I have been trying to control my milk, egg, fish and meat intake for the fear that consuming too much of that might result in a terrible health issue. It turns out that I had an acid reflux which destructed my body (stomach) from absorbing the nutrients my body requires for a healthy growth. Hence, the Dr. Prescribed some vitamin D supplements and others to correct that. This video is very supportive. I hope to get more notifications.
To tell you about me I was diagnosed with gastritis with lots of acid and burning and chest pain I take pantrapeozole, omepeazole . But symptoms of gastritis was devasting and now having something jumping on my body and head . Wondering if a feroglobin supplements will work .
B12 should be taken at least EOD whilst monitoring folate, ferritin and potassium. In addition if you taking ferritin you need good vit c to fully absorb ferritin. Without high folate and ferritin your b12 will be not absorbed as well. B12 only stays active in your body for 24hours if you cannot absorb or have PA. So tablets and drops are not enough to stay healthy.
What is EOD and PA?
EOD - every other day
PA - pernicious anemia
Fyi.
Listen to MORLEY ROBBINS utubes - he knows all about ferritin/ iron in our bodies. The doctors have got it all wrong … as usual. Yawn.
(They are Big Pharma-educated - that’s the reason)
I was so blown away that I bought MR’s book!
Truth is - we are all Iron Toxic and Copper deficient.
Almost no-one needs iron 👈🏿

Nice info
Omg. Me too 🤔
I have neuropathy in both feet and carpel tunnel in one hand, tingling and numbness. Also have balance and intestinal problems.
Low B12 reading so get two B12 shots a month. While probably not the primary cause of my symptoms, a B12 deficiency could be a contributing factor. By the way, not diabetic). B12 vitamins are generally disposed of in the urine if not needed.
Latest info is that sub-lingual B12 tabs (troches ) are actually *superior* to injections -
much cheaper by far !
Just make sure the B12 is absorbed in the mouth (mucus membranes)
not swallowed …
@@snowyowl6892 What is troches? Is it the liquid form that goes under your tongue by chance?
@@yvettegomez4588
No - a troche is a lozenge which is used specifically when B12 is needed.
As B12 is immediately destroyed by stomach acid 👈🏿(so can not be ingested) it is critical that you leave the troches (eg the B12 tablet) under the tongue to get into the blood stream via the mucus membranes under the tongue or cheeks.
ANY B12 you swallow is LOST.
So be patient and if wait till it is dissolved .. it will take up to 30 minutes.
Latest science on this subject says that you absorb more B12 via the mucus membranes than even via injection.
Cheers … 🤗
Thanks...Now we know what it is before going toa doctor.
Very interesting video, thank you. It is always interesting to hear about symptoms and causes, but it would have been helpful to have had some dietary advice and discover foods that are rich in Vit. 12
Sometimes it’s hard to get the amount of VitB 12 required in our diet from our daily food intake. I feel so much better when I supplement with VitB12

Is there a recommended dose for Vitamin B12?
I've read about 500mg. Over doing B12 can cause damage to your kidneys, so you don't want to over do it for too long. I learned about this after buying 2000mg B12, after I finish this bottle, I'll switch to a lower dosage tablet.
One of the things that let me know I am low in B12 is when I have a nervous eye tick. But I am now taking it because the other day I had blurred vision & yesterday I had pain in my feet. Hopefully that is it. I have practice alternative medicine for 55 years. I was reluctant to experiment on my children. But each time I did so, after research & research, it was well worth it. I reversed my eldest son, after two ear surgery & years of prescription medicine, ear health. They were threatening with permanent hearing aides. OMG. But I reversed it within one month. Since then I was more able to treat my youngest son's environmental allergies, my daughters stomach issues. And ect
I have pernicious anaemia so have to have monthly injections & you can see easily when I’m running low as my skin goes super pale & my eyes look black under & around them also have iron folate deficiency & have had to have 2 iron infusions- I’m only 39
Carli Jasmine - try to access MORLEY ROBBINS re iron in our body. He has a book called Cu-re … also lots of videos on utube. He is way ahead of doctors on this story. Don’t miss him.
The medical establishment measurement of iron is TOTALLY WRONG in Morley’s opinion.
I love him - he is next level.
@@snowyowl6892 thank you so so much I’ll definitely check him out- I have 4 autoimmune conditions & theyre rare & incurable & im severely disabled - the one thing that I can do to help myself is keep up with my B12 so your kind advice is greatly appreciated ❤️🩹🙏🏼

Ano suggestion - I wd take a couple of Vit B1 tabs with breakfast - see if it perks you up … it certainly did great for me.
the other person I value is Dr DARKO VELCEK. He is out of the box (and despises traditional medicine).
He has done lots of Utubes.
When I started on his protocol … although it was slow -
I found that the sea salt was providing lots of trace minerals … and you won’t believe it … I did not want to eat a single grain product or a single vegetable .
It was amazing. And the “change of diet” 🤣 allowed my body to start the cleansing process. (The only way to restore health is to get rid of a lifetime of toxins from the crappy diet we have been brought up with … the SAD diet (Std Amer Diet).
Probs I had had for years started disappearing, slowly and steadily.
Simply - we need to restore our body to the clean state we had as young children.
NEVER NEVER say negative words like “incurable” -
They act as Spells - creating our reality with the words we use.

(FACTS OVA FEELINGS). Eu do Not Need r Have to Take Vitamins wen Ur Eating Fruits.
Sept I took a medication called Jardiance ,so I lost 30 pounds in 7 days and I checked my B12 deficiency and it was low ,the doctor ignored and now my whole body is in neuropathy shock..Three months in Canada cannot see a specialist..cannot sit ,sleep or work due to fatigue and pain in hands or leg.
The first thing I did as soon as I saw this video was I ran out and got myself some B12 feeling better already got it under my tongue and feeling better as it dissolves
My doctor,'s are so good ......., i have seen them several times because my hands and arms go numb at night. More recently i have had mouth ulcers and a very sore tongue, and also found i was off balance for a while. But the doctor's i see ( alway's different one's ) have never mentioned that i could be B 12 deficint !!! I met a friend recently and she suggested it might be helpful. Thank you for this giving me this insight .
Does having an underactive thyroid affect B12 deficiency? I have numb toes and feet and asked my doctor for a blood test, he said I was not B12 deficient and that tight shoes could be the cause, which I don't think is the cause as they are not tight. I bought my own B12 tablets and take them every day, my toes are still numb.I fell last year and broke my arm after stumbling. Do I need injections if I have malabsorption? I don't want the numbness to get worse. Thank you
i would like to add that B12 is mostly destroyed in the stomace so not much gets to us, this is why it can be a problem, the best advice i can give is get a sublingual B12 that way it will be absobed.
I feel dizzy,and blurred vision,fatique
I take it every day.!! Speaking of I'm out going to get more tomorrow.!!!
Thank U 😊, please tell us what foods have B12
Thank you and bless you...
So, what in our environment is inhibiting our ability to process vit b12?
Insufficient diet for vegetarians, or vegans since it comes animal products. Also the use of certain medications make you unable to absorb or process it well such as heartburn medications nexium, Prilosec, etc, and type 2 diabetes meds like metformin even if the medication is no longer needed the change in processing might stay.
Animal Products don't produce B12
B12 is bacteria commonly found in our soils.....
But with the recent trends of GMOs, Pesticides , Chemtrails , etc....
B12 is severely depleted from our soils...
So mostly you have to either take a high quality supplement or eat red meat....
Would not reccomend Dairy products.
This helped me understand more about deficiency thank you.

I have gastroparasis due to diabetes, I had all these symptoms, pounding heartbeat in my ear, palpitations and extreme shortness of breath, I was found to be very anaemic and B12 deficient, I was given iron tablets that relieved the symptoms somewhat, but an iron infusion made a massive difference, I was told because of the gastroparasis I don’t absorb iron in tablet’s, but my new GP insists I have iron tablets instead of the infusion, I can’t understand why, it’s very upsetting
If you've been told you can't get the iron you need in tablet form, and your new GP isn't listening, find a new, new GP. You don't have to put up with a doctor who isn't as concerned about your health as you are.

Been reaching that conclusion: food alone isn't enough to solve nutrition deficiencies.
On my case, not just B12 but B vitamins in general.
Food is usually devoid of nutrients.
I’m on b12 injections every two months. Had a whole load of symptoms and still do.
That is pretty far apart. Are your levels staying up that long? I have to go every three weeks and occasionally every 2 to be symptom less.
