Guest guest Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Dr Brownstein had me inject B12 every day for 1 month and then 1 time a week from that point on. Buist, ND B12 every day? I read the book of Dr. Brownstein and I saw that he prescribes B12 every day. I know that B12 should be taken 2 or 3 times a week.So, for the people who take B12, how many times per week do you take?

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I used to take it every one to 2 weeks but when they outlawed B12 injections except by prescription, I had to quit.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 B12 as methylcobalamin spray or hydroxocobalamin spray are the best. Methylcobalamin sprays are generally easier to find. After that B12 lozenges are the next choice. I do not remember if you were pro or con DMSO but if you are a person who is interested in DMSO then you may be interested in this method to delivery B12: http://www.krysalis.net/anemia.htm & http://www.krysalis.net/b12.htm. > > > > > > > Dr Brownstein had me inject B12 every day for 1 month and then 1 time a > > week from that point on. > > > > Buist, ND > > > > * B12 every day? > > > > > > > > I read the book of Dr. Brownstein and I saw that he prescribes B12 every > > day.

My legs were getting very weak and I asked my dr if I could try B12 injections. He said no, so I went out and bought some myself off the internet and it improves my condition a lot. I live in England and bought some hydroxocobalamin from Germany in ampules but later I found a bottle of 100ml from a veterinary/animal food supplier and use that instead. It is cyanocobalamin which is not supposed to be as good as hydroxocobalamin, but it works for me. The bottle from the vets is very cheap and after a google search I read on bodybuilding sites that it is used by bodybuilders quite a lot. It cost about £10 ($16) a bottle with enough for 50 injections. I started off having injections once a day, and kept that up for over two months then cut back to every few days. You need the very narrow orange needles on a syringe and you hardly feel it in the top of your arm. I lost count, but I have probably had over a 100 injections up to now. Taking B12 in pill form is no good for people like me who do not absorb it properly - my diet should have enough B12 in it yet I notice the difference after a B12 injection in a very short time.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 The problem with B12 is that it is not very absorbable when you swallow a pill -- even though lots of folks are quite happy to sell you the pill. The best OTC preparations are in the form of a lozenge that dissolves under the tongue, or a spray that you spray under the tongue, where the vitamin is being absorbed through the mucous membranes. (Some of the sprays are now liposomal, meaning that the nutrient is encased in a liposome shell that is absorbed more readily into the blood stream.) There is a company called Revitapop that makes B12 suckers in the hopes of accomplishing the same goal. (I am not creative enough to make this stuff up. Let me see -- a sucker, or a shot in the rear?)Most people seem to be agreed that the shots are more effective, but since they are given by prescription, you have to find a cooperative doctor to sign off on the prescription. (A few people who have tried different forms claim that they have good luck with Revitapops or sublingual preparations. It is definitely worth a try.)Another factor to consider is the FORM of B12 you use. People with methylation issues need methyl B12 (methylcobalamin sp?), & if you read the fine print, there are different forms of the vitamin available. You need to do some research to be sure that you are getting the form that is best for you.AnneOn Apr 13, 2011, at 7:59 AM, Ariel Monserrat wrote: I used to take it every one to 2 weeks but when they outlawed B12 injections except by prescription, I had to quit.

Rarely do we eat any other kind of animal protein but once in a great while we will have venison etc. It is possible to get B12 from spirulina and possibly chlorella as well as traces of iodine. It has been suggested that 10 grams of spirulina along with 5 grams of chlorella can do one wonders. Double that for diseases that need extra nutrition. http://www.naturalnews.com/specialreports/SuperfoodsforOptimumHealthChlorellaand\ Spirulina.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
