Guest guest Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I thought mcg. was microgram the " µg " (small U G) doesnt that mean something else? -- Burning feet, the wonders of ALA, Benfotiamine and B12 Dear Val, Following your advice I have started taking the above combination to sort out my burning feet. I have also chucked in 1000µg of chromium and some milk thistle/silymarine and a good dose of the other B vitamins. I have started taking apple cider vinegar in water before each meal, because apparently this slows the release of sugar into the blood and avoids the spike after a meal. Two weeks into this protocol I feel much better and I have also lots 5 kilos (11 lbs) without much effort! (Only another 15 to go to get back to where I was two years ago). Infact I am following a high protein, low carb diet and inspite of my weight loss I never seem to stop eating. I still have residual tingling in my feet but it is so much improved I cannot believe it. It has also had a positive effect on how I am feeling overall. Thank you so much for your advice. It has made a great difference. Now tell me, how long do I have to take this stuff? A year? Forever? Or does it eventually correct what ever was going wrong at some unknown future date? Thanks for all this help, MacGilchrist P.S. I can also sleep through the night now without hunger pangs, sometimes until 9 O'CLOCK in the morning!!!.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 "mcg" is used when the key board does not have a "µ". When I worked for a pharmaceutical company many years ago in France my typewriter (yes, it was a very long time ago!) did not have a "µ", so it was customary to use "mcg". However, I believe that since the PC era, "µ" is now readily available on many keyboards, but not phones for example. Most scientists use "µ" but both are acceptable. MacG.
