Re: mB12 methylcobalamin vs Hydroxycobalamin

[Guest guest]

hello tk,

are you saying that there is no difference at all between methyl and

hydroxy in regards to mercury detox? is there any other reason to

prefer one of the forms over the other?

if the doc is incorrect, can you refer me to any info or links that i

could share with my doc to correct the info?

gratefully,

kendra

hi linda and tk,

i appreciate your replies. i tried searching onibasu for memos from andy as

This actually is correct. it happens rapidly in a test tube with straight

methylcobablamin and mercuric chloride, both in high conccentrations. It

does NOT happen at any significant rate in people at the concentrations of

mercury and methylcobablmin that can be achieved before death ensues.

On this website, it mentions that methylcobalmin will methylate mercury--

It doesn't.

>I'm assuming this means turning it into methylmercury, which is bad right?

No, actually it would be wonderful if B-12 did this but since it doesn't we

can't use B-12 to clear the brain of mercury. After all, methylmercury

crosses the blood-brain barrier, so since B-12 goes into the brain, if B-12

methylated mercury it would let the mercury trapped in the brain escape.

>So why is it suggested for kids to get B12 injections? I'm soooo

confused... can you all explain this situation to me?

Some doctors are too brain dead to think, read their textbooks, or ask

people who know what they are doing for information, but not too brain dead

to make web ages. They are just like ordinary people this way.

fyi, i talked with compounding pharmacist today about methyl vs hydroxy. he

is puzzled by why the doc is changing the prescrip for several of her

patients, but he thinks it's because she read a study saying methyl

solubolizes mercury in the brain?? i left query with doc, but she is out of

town til next week.

i did find out from pharmacist that hydroxy 10mg/ml 0.3ml/day will cost over

twice the price of comparable methyl, so i can't afford it either.

TK-- Again, your doc is making a mistake, sorry - they all do. She

is reading some material and making some conclusion which is

incorrect or listening to someone and just believing what they are

saying without doing the research herself because she doesn't have

the time to do so.

TK--- Try getting cyanocobalamin which does not have to be

compounded, is usually the least expensive and can normally be found

at regular pharmacies or go back to the methyl.

It would be better to be on Hydroxcobalamin than cyanocobalamin, if you have

to choose between these two. Hydroxy does not have to be compunded at a

pharmacy, I am on Perque brand sublingual. Cyanocobalamin has to be broken

down in the body more steps than hydroxy, and produces some cyanide on the

way which your body has to deal with.

Some info in this paper if interested:

I went back to the article that you originally posted.

http://www.ever.ch/medizinwissen/b12hg.php

The reason that person uses for using cyano or hydroxy cobalamin is

that they are easier to synthesize and according to her methyl is not

available in Europe.

I searched archives and couldn't find a post from Andy although I

expect there is one in there somewhere.

This is one of the pages I found on the web.

http://b12patch.com/vitaminb12/cobalamin.html

'Neither cyanocobalamin nor hydrocobalamin is in a form our bodies can

use. They must be converted to the usable forms of cobalamin:

methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin.'

To take it one step further - mercury blocks enzymes and sometimes

those enzymes that do the converting are blocked or slowed.

So it would be better to use methyl if a person can get it.

Or use large quantities to try to push the enzyme reaction.

I do recall trying to get methyl for injection and couldn't get it in

Canada. Next time I go to the HFS I'll look at the oral forms and see

what they have - although very little of an oral form would be absorbed.

If you find out which pharmaceutical company makes methyl B12 for

injection let me know and I'll see if I can get it here.

TK--- We are talking about two different things - I am refering to

injectable not subligual, sublingual does absolutely nothing for me

either physically or when checked during tested.

I have never had any problem with injectable cyano, it has only made

Hey TK, I'm glad this works for you, that's what counts.

I'm not 'believing everything I read' as you say, though. The article I

listed was written by my doctor, and he's the one who told me about the

breakdown steps of cyanocobalamin. He didn't say that meant it was out of

the question, however, just that your body has to be able to handle the

coversion and the by-products thereof. Apparently mine can't do that very

well, which is not uncommon. I take high doses of hydroxycobalamin and

folate together sublingually, several times per day. It's a technique to

improve methylation, among other things, and does somewhat mimic an

injectable in this dosing scenario. This is what the paper I linked talks

about, and is a technique that my doctor has quite a bit of experience with

with autism, chemical sensitivities, and toxic exposures.

greetings,

i had phone consult tonight with my doc who wanted to change me from methyl

to hydroxy because i am now chelating mercury. here's my understanding of

her concern.

she recently went to ACAM training in mercury chelation. some docs there

reported that when they gave methyl b12 injections to patients who were

chelating, some patients ended up severely injured, even in wheelchairs.

their reasoning is this: normally mercury is stored in tissues, brain, and

organs, not floating around in blood, so methyl injections are not a

problem. but when one is chelating, the mercury is freed up into the blood.

when the methyl is injected, it combines with the free mercury creating

methylmercury, which is highly toxic. their thinking is that this combining

only happens when injecting methyl within about 4-6 hours of taking dmsa.

they say the hydroxy will not create this methylmercury while chelating.

(not clear why--because it takes time for enzyme conversion of hydroxy to

methyl??)

so my doc says i could continue to take methyl on my off round days, but she

does not want me to take methyl while taking dmsa unless i can space the

methyl at least 4-6 hours away from the dmsa (which is impossible on

cutler's protocol).

note that the acam protocol is based on taking a single high-dose of dmsa,

about 300mg/day, rather than cutler's low frequent dosing.

fwiw, i told my doc that in following cutler's low dose protocol, i've

already completed 6 rounds of 4 days on and only 3 days off AND i've been

using my remaining methyl injections as usual, about 3 x week--and so far i

actually feel slightly Better while on round than off. she is not convinced

that i might not have already done potential damage from creating

methylmercury in my system.

my doc is open to more info to prove that methyl is not a problem while

taking dmsa. is there some way to ask andy to comment on this? any help with

info on this issue is greatly appreciated.

perplexed,

kendra

[Guest guest]

The reason the ACAM people are putting people in wheel chairs is

because they are using high dose DMSA once a day and probably mixing

that with IV EDTA and goodness knows what else.

There is an example mentioned in Amalgam Illness of someone Andy knew

who was a dancer until she did DMSA high dose every day (or every

second day) and ended up close to a wheelchair. I would have to

search the book to find the pages.

The ACAM people observe that some people end up in wheel chairs and

then make up a theory about why. It's too bad that they don't see

what their high dose once a day DMSA does to people.

It is fine to keep your doctor happy and use another form of B12. I

have been using cyanocobalamin (oral and injections) for convenience.

Andy was on autism mercury today saying that it doesn't matter what

form of B12 and it doesn't always have to be injected (the topic was

B12 patches).

TK--- this is an asumption not based on any scientific information

and is more likely caused by their chelation methods. They are

trying to rationalize why their method of chelation hurts people by

now saying it is the B12 - it's BS
