Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hi all! My son had some blood work done last year from a integrative medicine pedicatrican, and his b12 levels were slightly elevated. This is what she wrote in the report. Slightly elevated vitamin B-12 (not concerning) with normal homocysteine and methylmalonic acid (showing that the B-12 is functioning properly) After seeing the recovery videos and how B12 shots, pops, nasal spray can help children on the spectrum, I was intrigued. I want to look into it and plan to talk to our DAN! doctor about it. My question though, is if his levels are already elevated, wouldn't they go up more if I supplement more? Is elevated levels a bad thing? Also, where do you get the b12 nasal spray etc? Is it a prescription? Do you need a doc to get it or do you all do it on your own? Thanks for any input.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 My son has the same thing with elevated B12 in his blood. Our DAN said that this means that it might not be getting absorbed into his CNS because folate levels were normal. He recommended that we increase my son's folate levels. I'm not sure if this is the right or wrong thing to do. My daughter's folate levels were " normal " but she did very well when I increased her folate with 5-MTHF. Hi all!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 My son's B12 is extremely high after almost three yrs of injections. I have yet to find anyone who thinks this may be a problem. All of our DAN docs are not concerned. My only concern is that B12 is water soluble and his level was 4x to highest range after stopping it a month before our lab tests. Why doesn't his body excrete it? Probably methylation dysfunction. Everything goes in but nothing comes out.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I've always learned that it was methylation - the body is t converting the b-22 to the methylated form.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Well getting rid of metals, viruses, and bacteria can certainly help. But we all have certain genetic predispositions for breakdowns in the pathways. And, we can supplement around these areas. We did the genetic testing available at Holisticheal.com. But there are others available. Also your doc. An help you to interpret your blood test results. For example 's son's showed high vit B & folate. This is often because they are not converting to the methylated form. Supplementing the methylated form helps get around this breakdown in the pathway. Some people have issues with vit d or sulfur. There are other things as well. Getting the pathway to work smoothly supports many important things including detox. HTH-RuthSent from my iPhone How do we fix the methylation?

My son has the same thing with elevated B12 in his blood. Our DAN said that this means that it might not be getting absorbed into his CNS because folate levels were normal. He recommended that we increase my son's folate levels. I'm not sure if this is the right or wrong thing to do. My daughter's folate levels were "normal" but she did very well when I increased her folate with 5-MTHF. Hi all! My son had some blood work done last year from a integrative medicine pedicatrican, and his b12 levels were slightly elevated. This is what she wrote in the report. Slightly elevated vitamin B-12 (not concerning) with normal homocysteine and methylmalonic acid (showing that the B-12 is functioning properly) After seeing the recovery videos and how B12 shots, pops, nasal spray can help children on the spectrum, I was intrigued. I want to look into it and plan to talk to our DAN! doctor about it. My question though, is if his levels are already elevated, wouldn't they go up more if I supplement more? Is elevated levels a bad thing? Also, where do you get the b12 nasal spray etc? Is it a prescription? Do you need a doc to get it or do you all do it on your own? Thanks for any input.

But we all have certain genetic predispositions for breakdowns in the pathways. And, we can supplement around these areas. We did the genetic testing available at Holisticheal.com. But there are others available. Also your doc. An help you to interpret your blood test results. For example 's son's showed high vit B & folate. This is often because they are not converting to the methylated form. Supplementing the methylated form helps get around this breakdown in the pathway. Some people have issues with vit d or sulfur. There are other things as well. Getting the pathway to work smoothly supports many important things including detox. HTH-RuthSent from my iPhone How do we fix the methylation?

Sent: Fri, Mar 9, 2012 8:07:14 AM Kerri - if you are working on immune system & viruses, it is really important to have methylation working well so he can clear then effectively. Not only does killing bacteria and viruses create toxins in the body, but those bugs often. Ind metals in the body which are released when the bugs are killed. Having methylation working well will support clearing all that junk. It all works together. RuthSent from my iPhone Ruth, We stopped them for the last three months. Something still tells me he needs them. Trying to fix his methylation pathways. We are working on his immune system and viruses now. We will add back to treatment plan at some point. Thanks for info!

I've always learned that it was methylation - the body is t converting the b-22 to the methylated form. Have you done any testing around that? Are you currently doing b-12 shots? Ruth Sent from my iPhone My son's B12 is extremely high after almost three yrs of injections. I have yet to find anyone who thinks this may be a problem. All of our DAN docs are not concerned. My only concern is that B12 is water soluble and his level was 4x to highest range after stopping it a month before our lab tests. Why doesn't his body excrete it? Probably methylation dysfunction. Everything goes in but nothing comes out. Kerri To: mb12valtrex Sent: Tuesday, March 6, 2012 3:19 PMSubject: Re: Is elevated b12 amounts, bad?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 The sun! 15-20 minutes of exposed skin (no sunscreen) to the sun each day. (All bets are off up north in the winter months). Or a tanning bed. : ) Some people have issues with sulfur supps and food high in sulfur.
