methylcobalamin versus cyanocobalamin

[Guest guest]

One must be aware that the regular form of B12 (cyanocobalamin) could give these

types of symptoms in high doses in overly sensitive individuals.On the other

hand, I have used excessive amount of the methylcobalamin for many years and

have never seen anything like these symptoms with the methyl form. Was the nasal

form the Methyl or cyano? Also some of these children are extremely sensitive

or allergic to a variety of chemicals so the reaction could have been due to one

of these as well that was part of the preparation used.

had a stroke. DO NOT use my letter to chelatingkids to further your purpose.

Incidentally, my child is NOT on B12 shots. I want my name removed from the

website as I find that I have nothing in common with you.

What is scary to me is the mis-information found in the post below. Those

interested in making up their own minds should review the Jill study and

Dr. Neubrander's clinical experience themselves. I look forward to the

completion of the UCD study, as do many of us who's children do well on the

MB-12. My own child does not have anxiety attacks any longer as a result of the

injections. The pilot study comparing the nasal vs. the sub-C is favoring the

sub-Q thus far.

I have a metabolic/genetic specialist at Phoenix Children's Hospital (not a

DAN doctor) monitoring my son's MB-12 progress. He is impressed and contacted

Dr. Neubrander personally to learn more. He treats lots of non-ASD kids with

b-12/folate disorders and wants to see more of the ASD b-12 responders in his

office, as he was unaware of the success stories. I spread the word and several

other families have gone in to see him or scheduled to see him. This includes

the founder of our local non-profit group who considers her son to be recovered

from diet and MB-12 alone (which makes a lot of sense as his mother has a b-12

disorder herself). She has experimented with removing the MB-12 3-4 times.

Everytime she does her son's studdering comes back and he wets the bed.

Hi, Elyse,

I am a new member, but I have checked the archives to try to find the

anecdotal

reports of seizures in children on B12. I can't find them. Were you

referring to

a past post on this list or a google search? I would really like to read

more about

this. I agree that this is scary.

Thanks,

La Donna

This is really scarry

This was just forwarded to me. You may know that the MIND insititute

(Dr. Hendren) is doing a Methyl B12 study that has no legitimate

scientific basis, and some risk, on autistic kids. I have brought up

the anecdotal reports of autistic kids on these B12 shots have

seizures. The IRB at UCD had an MD look at the papers that

tangentially suggest that B12 can methylate certain genes and create

an imbalance of neurotransmitters (GABA?) in the brain that would tend

to kindle seizures in some people... The MD said, " Nah, I don't think

this is a problem... "

But there are many more problems with this study, some of them have

been started to be addressed by Hendren, he's apparently rewriting the

description of the study for the clinicaltrials.gov site....

I want to know if it's time for someone to step in and stop this

business... look at this. Stroke-like symptoms from kids getting

these shots. What do we do? Sit on our hands until they kill a child

with this stuff? Give me some ideas of how to deal with this, please?

Subject: ------- NEED HELP WITH OVERMETHYLATION (anyone at the last DAN)

We started our daughter on the nasal B12 and saw some really good

gains to begin with (first week). she was dosing every day. After the

first week, we noticed some strange mouth movements and at times, she

looked almost like a stroke victim. Dr. Jerry K[artzinel] said that

she was over methylated and to stop for several days and that the

issue would clear on its own. She has become irritable and

beligerent. Someone who was at the last DAN said that there was a

mention of needing to take TMG if this happens. I would like to know

from any of the listmates who attended what was said> If anyone else

has any information regarding this problem, I would appreciate hearing

from you.

Thanks,

CW
