I gave birth in April at 23 weeks leaving my family and I with a 173 NICU stay and extreme birth trauma. I said all of that to say that the experience left me feeling extremely depressed. I began to become concerned most recently as I always felt I was in a fog and it was hard to do the simplest tasks. (Having a preemie who needs to eat every 2 hours doesn’t allow for any fogging lol). I went in for an IV drip recently to try and elevate my energy levels but left with a “b12 + b6 complex” instead. that I must admit I didn’t really think would work. When I tell you I have never felt better!!! It may be a pain in the ass to get to a drs office once a week but it’s the most effective way to take the medication (intramuscular! and so, so worth it. I am able to get up as I need to without feeling like death , I have tons of positive energy, and my appetite as opened up, which for me is positive. I know this comment is long but I just can’t stop telling everyone who will listen about this! I think this could have huge benefits for postpartum moms! The difference was night and day.
Felt fatigued and depleted of energy, developed into malaise,after taking this b12 vitamin .... felt better interested in activities. Love this vitamin
Due to following a vegan diet for 1,5 yearsand resulting vitamin b12 deficiency, my body first developed an eczema on my hands, hair loss and later cold night sweats very night. Nobody first knew what was going on with my body. After discovering the deficiency and introducing b12 shots, the night sweats stopped right away and my body recovered. Many doctors never even thought of b12 deficiency in the beginning
@@drwestinchilds I'm curious. From your experiences.... With a diagnosed deficiency just below 200 and b12 shot (1000 microgram) twice a week for 5 weeks (that's what my doctor suggested), how long does it take to see positive result? Or in general?
Another Childs awesome! I’m going to get my first shot after being on Omeprazole for 3 months and having gastritis for years now I’m dealing with neuropathy from it.
Thanks a lot for the info, doc. My symptoms are all there for vitamin B12 deficiency, so a blood test results showed a reading of 434 pg/ml. I am 74 years old and have type 2 diabetes under diet control. Do I need vitamin B12 supplement, and if so what. Please suggest the suppliesment and dosage. Thanks.
Sir everyone over age of 60 needs a good multivitamin. My mother takes 500 mcg methylcobalamin in a multivitamin prescribed by her Dr. She also has diabetes.even her Dr takes b12 supplement.
Dr Child’s, I take a shot of vitamin B12 once a month at a public health clinic. So I finally am sleeping through the night most nights and feel somewhat better re energy at times. However I am still obese and my hair is not growing back. Should I ask my dr. to see if I should get shots every two weeks? Also how much is the proper dosage and what is the high quality type of B12 shots called? I still have severe brain fog, bad memory problems and couldn’t keep up with you.
Starting b12 shots are loading doses of 1 day on and 1 day off over 2wks, then you go by yr symptoms how frequent afterwards You can buy yr own b12 from mycare.de and Arnika.de You also need cofactors to enable b12 to work
I love my B12 injections. I literally feel the difference when it is being released into my body. My hair even looks better. And its growing like a weed. When im tired with the b12 it feels very different from when im tired withot it. When i take my b12 and im tired it feel like i need a nap. When i need it and i feel tired; it feels like i need to sleep for days.
Doc. very informative Vedio on Vit.B12 Some Vit.B22 comes with FOLIC ACID...PLS explain...ls it ok to take it. thankyou Being CML Patient it really helps me...
B12 and folic acid works together. Without folate, b12 will not get processed, it will remain in its inactive form. I take injections that doesn't have folate, so I supplement with b complex tablet
Great video ! Thanks dr ! I have a question around the times for each supplement thats taken for hypothyroidism. For e..g best time to take B12, a multivitamin tab(w/o iron), B complex pill, selenium, vitamin D, iron and Vit C when a person is taking T3 only medication. My doctor told me I could take B12 and B complex any time during the day and even the multivitamin(I use Pure Encapsulations O.N.E). Vitamin D after a meal and iron/magnesium/vit C/Selenium at night. Is this schedule ok ? Do iron, magnesium and selenium interact with each other ? It would be great if you could answer this or make a video on it (even better) !!
I can only say that take b12 and b complex capsule in morning after breakfast. But not in evening. It causes sleep problem when taken in evening. T3 you must be taking empty stomach, and after 45 min you have to eat anything.
@@explore_with_sagan9596I find the opposite, b12 helps me sleep due to it increasing the function of melatonin. Isn't it fascinating how something can be totally different for others.
Shashank Thiagarajan they sell them at most major shopping malls, or beauty spas in the US. I just had my first one today at the mall for $20.00 a shot or you can buy packages at a reduced price.
Thanks for the info Dr.Childs So strange when i took vit b12 my anxiety got so bad so I stopped it , any idea why? i will try it again and see. Have a nice day
Miss Sha I have experienced exactly same. More so after 3-4 months my sleep got distorted. Seemed like melatonin issues. I was sleeping just fine before taking B12 shots. I'm not on any medication
In the book Dirty Genes by Dr Ben Lynch, it discusses how some genetic variations can make you sensitive to some types of B vitamins, so that you need to take them in another form. Also, if you take B12 a lot without balancing it with other B vitamins, you can get symptoms from that imbalance. I think you need vitamin B6 and folate, as well, especially.
I would like to add one correction. Vitamin B6 can be toxic and cause neurological damage. I learned this the hard way as so many sources of information say B vitamins are water-soluble but do not mention that B6 can become toxic.
Is it ok to inject 100mcg per day for a week and then go down from there. Or is that too much. I’ve done one dose of the cyanocobalamin 6 days prior to finding the methyl; had two doses over the past two days. It hasn’t helped with energy levels at all, which I am sorely needing.
As someone who injects 2ml daily when it's inexpensive and available (in Asia) and 5 ml per week otherwise, I know you can't inject too much. A sublingual dose is 50,000% daily allowance. Read the bottle. It's impossible to take to much.
Thanks Dr. Child. I am just diagnosed with a low B12, my Endo recommended B12 shot, but my primary doctor didn't respond to the request. What will happen to my body then?
Anges just buy it online. www.vitaminb12online.com my doctors were the same and I had to take things into my own hands and now I am better from b12 deficiency.
Get a new Doc. Do your self a huge favor and find a good "Functional Medicine" Doctor for your primary physician. They are light years ahead of the allopaths imo.
I bet he wanted to give You the cyanide type as well? He/she is ignorant, many dr:s are. Change the dr at once and get yourself metylcobalamine shots. I did.
Hmm - well: what I miss in this video is the notion of vitamin B12 being crucial for the human nervous system. A severe deficiency of *B12* might be one factor of peripheral neuropathy, and that's - I hope we can all agree - of more importance than diminished *hair* growth [btw: I'm bald].
Some people get allergic reaction from some kind of b12, you can try other form. Try Methylcobalamin if using /cyanocobalamin or vice versa I also got swelling like reaction from my 2nd injection. But after that, no more side effects, only good effects from further injection.
I've been getting them and I can't quite explain it but I feel better! I can tell when I need another one too like I start to feel more weighed down, anxious idk but if you're feeling just terrible like I was and nothing else seems to be quite wrong please try them! Also side note my heart rate has been less high it would randomly shoot up before now when I exercise it's like a normal person.
I took two injections in one week that was last month it’s a nightmare I can’t sleep i have acne my face is burning my right eye hurt went to the doctor twice they don’t know anything about it went to the emergency room twice I don’t know what to do I wish I never took b12
It depends on symptoms, I have severe deficiency and I take once or twice a week, some take every other day, while who are on maintenance dose, they take monthly.
I am having painful/ cramping in thigh &/ or abdomen shots bumps and redness .. very sore and swollen I had been Rec daily .03ml Began 3 weeks ago Would less shot with more b12 help Or any other suggestions ? Thank you for this affirming video I also am detoxing neurological lyme , toxic mold and ebv along with low temp hypothyroid Low rbc and high other markers indicating b12 ( essentially all symptoms you mention) Thank you
Yea, and those twice a week b12 shots your on doc make you talk at an extremely fast rate. People who are deficient in b12 definitely can't take in what your saying that fast 😊
Serum B12 levels don't necessarily correlate with cellular B12 status in the body. Most doctors know this (or at least they are taught this in medical school) but typically forget it at some point.
I'm on thyroid med. No quality of life. Is b12 an Injection.? I have all symptoms . just in bed. No appetite. I haven't energy to make a meal. I eat bananas n biscuits. Can't sleep despite meds. Neck is kinda hard one side n I can't really swallow easily . I don't talk much on phone as I'm sick of ppl asking what's wring...my voice is hoarse...n its sore if I talk for a while. Hair falling out in clumps. Sweats distressing. I can't hurry up scan or second blood test. Just got given meds n said wait 2 months!! I'd give anything for a bit of energy.. I take all supplements u recommended. I live on tropical island n feel cold 😮 I do nothing all day. I get about 2 he's energy. That's it. Getting one infection after another. Average in between time 3 weeks always where lymph nodes swollen. I'm fed up with being sick. Stress caused a lot. Hair went very n started fall out. Noiw more so. Doctors useless unless I go private n haven't worked for over a year as was in a protection program n cortisol I'm sure high. On anti.

My levels were so high ...dunno what's high in hypo..th? Some hormone...I was ten. Normal range in blood is 4 to 7. I'm losing weight too. Your channel is SOO helpful n I have understanding in anatomy but u explain things by far the best n easiest way to understand as my brain is in MUSH!😮
@@drwestinchildsso very tru! I have educated soo many dr:s here in Sweden! They probably slept over that unsexy lesson in the medical education. The lessons were also very few.....
If someone 's level is 100 then 10 injections spread over about 45 days. Then one injection everymonth one 60000IU vit D everymonth, good quality multivitamin everyday for life.
my b12 levels were around 147 and i feel amazing after using a 1 ml shot. Its like i haven't been able to think so clearly before and now i feel alive.
It's a shame you talk so fast as it's hard to take in the information. Remember, most people watching this have these issues which make it harder to keep up when you are racing along as we tend to think slower! Well, I do anyway!
Indeed dr Westin Child speaks fast but i have no problem understanding each and every word, even though English is not my first language. However, as a nurse, I'm familiar with all the expressions he uses, maybe that's why. I started getting B-shots 4mo ago and I'm experiencing most of the benefits he's talking about. I, also, lost 40lbs. Thank you for the great summary Doc!
@@satinrose3827 For oral B12 I recommend my own brand: www.restartmed.com/product/power-b-complex/ For B12 shots you will need to get a prescription from your doctor.
same! This happened to me last night :) I was surprised I slept so much but admittedly i don’t think i had been providing my body with adequate sleep in the prior days. Did help me get a full nights sleep!

Why do i get hives on my arms when I get the B12 inj. Im severely low in B12 so would this cause hives?
Some people get allergic reaction from some kind of b12, you can try other form. Try Methylcobalamin if using /cyanocobalamin or vice versa
I also got swelling like reaction from my 2nd injection. But after that, no more side effects, only good effects from further injection.
Maybe its reaction to this brand/type of vit b12..ooooooor you have some sort of other deficiency. Some other vit b or some minerals.
Do you need more B12 if you are fat adapted which produced more ATP
I give myself B12 shot once a month.

Where can we get tested to see if we have methylation issues like you mention a little before 14:30?
You can get genetic tests if you'd like to check for MTHFR genetic mutations. Any genetic test which looks at SNP's will provide that information.
leave the benefits,🙄 here people dying from severe b12 deficiency are not getting injections prescribed by dr. Have to self inject.😔
I only have access to either cyano or hydroxo cobalamin. Is hydroxocobalamin a reasonable source of B12
Yes, hydroxycobalamin would generally be preferred over cyanocobalamin.
@@drwestinchilds why is that? I picked up B12 supplements today and just noticed its cyanocobalamin 😕

In my experience, they are not comparable. The shot is far more effective.

ached and got into the cell!!!!
Hopefully this is all that's been wrong with me
B12 shots are good when you first start getting sick.
what on earth are You talking about?
Hey let me know can you take too much n is it harmful????
B12 is water soluble so it's very hard to "get toxic" on it.
Where can I order methylcobalamin injections?

It's a synthetic form that results in the creation of cyanide that must be eliminated by the body.

Serum B12? You might consider pushing it higher if you are feeling some symptoms.
Will taking B12 be just as good as a 💉 or do you need a 💉 to get real effects to take place how do you compare pill vs 💉

Rep n alpraz for PTSD n depression before this...lived on my nerves. Just not living like other ppl. That's how I feel. I'm 3 weeks on lyco meds n WORSE ....How can that be? My levels were so high ...dunno what's high in hypo..th? Some hormone...I was ten. Normal range in blood is 4 to 7. I'm losing weight too. Your channel is SOO helpful n I have understanding in anatomy but u explain things by far the best n easiest way to understand as my brain is in MUSH!😮
@@h.l.phillips3175 oh that's terrible. I hope you found some answers and are on the road to recovery.
@@drwestinchildsso very tru! I have educated soo many dr:s here in Sweden! They probably slept over that unsexy lesson in the medical education. The lessons were also very few.....
I have the b12 deficiency...how much shots I needed..?? B 12 level is 100
Hi, have you recovered now?
@@explore_with_sagan9596 yes I recovered now
@@santoshp721 how many shots you took and in how many months you recovered??
If someone 's level is 100 then 10 injections spread over about 45 days. Then one injection everymonth one 60000IU vit D everymonth, good quality multivitamin everyday for life.
I got a B12 shot and did not give me any energy.. why is that? 🤔
Perhaps you already had normal b12 levels before the shot?
my b12 levels were around 147 and i feel amazing after using a 1 ml shot. Its like i haven't been able to think so clearly before and now i feel alive.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you are feeling better!
It's a shame you talk so fast as it's hard to take in the information. Remember, most people watching this have these issues which make it harder to keep up when you are racing along as we tend to think slower! Well, I do anyway!
Hi Anne, sorry about that! You can slow down the speed at which I talk in the gear section on the video! I hope this helps :)
@@drwestinchilds ok. Thanks. It's a shame to miss the great information. I will listen again at a slower speed.
Indeed dr Westin Child speaks fast but i have no problem understanding each and every word, even though English is not my first language. However, as a nurse, I'm familiar with all the expressions he uses, maybe that's why. I started getting B-shots 4mo ago and I'm experiencing most of the benefits he's talking about. I, also, lost 40lbs. Thank you for the great summary Doc!
@@celiataylor3493 Good for you! You are obviously very proud of yourself and like bragging.
Welcome and glad it's working for you!
Sublingual b12 works better than shots.
Is it possible to buy B12 online?
Perhaps, but I would not advise it.
ZBORICUA804 not in uk.you can in Australia some parts of states Canada and most countries that treat people like idiots the uk one of them
@@drwestinchilds what brand of b12 do u recommend? and where do I go to purchase it?
@@satinrose3827 For oral B12 I recommend my own brand: www.restartmed.com/product/power-b-complex/
For B12 shots you will need to get a prescription from your doctor.
My grandma was allergic to Vit B12 why is that I wonder
Tessa p probably the synthetic ones.
Me too I’m allergic to the b12 injections i
You don't have to talk fast to get your point across.
You should make a repost of this video but for slower comprehending people just so you can have more Content and get more subscribers
Thanks for the suggestion, I will most likely be doing that soon as I update some of my older content.
You can play it at a slower speed
Get to the point !
EVIDENCE?
You talk to fast
Bro science.
Annoying..
Don't watch ? XD
I could never sleep more than 5 hours. First injection and I slept 9 hours and 53 mins!
