TK--- the different forms help a lot of people tremendously, how much

it helps and the best form varies. Many people do just fine with

sublingual/oral in large doses but it is less effective than

injection - others need to inject to get results.

Do people use it ?

TK--- yes, all the different forms cyano,methyl,etc.

In my personal experience I am strongly inclined to believe B12, as

well as other Bs, do stir up mercury. Here's why I think that...when I

take B12 at any dose I get sore tight muscles in my leg calves that

will in a week or so of continued use get so bad it is almost a

paralysis with numbness, tingling, and droopy feet. It's scary. I stop

the B12 and the symptoms go away mostly but not completely in about a

week...symptoms linger indefinitely until...the next round of

chelation which totally clears it up. Without B vitamins the calf

problems slowly creep in on their own, much slower and much more

subtle than with B vitamins. My theory is that natural processes are

moving metals around a little bit to heavily used parts of the body,

parts where most of the circulation is going to. Chelation clears it

up each time.

I work at a large supercenter store and walk probably 5 miles a day on

the job with lots of squatting down to lower shelves. It is my theory

that mercury is going to the most used parts of my body, which is the

calves. The problem first popped up about a year before amalgam

removal and then got worse after amalgam removal, and especially worse

after the stupid 1200mg DMSA challenge test a doctor had me do (before

I heard about Andy). Thus my theoretical link between the calf

problems and mercury/lead (both elevated).

Folate or SAMe do the same thing. I have to avoid B vitamin

supplements.

As a sidenote, B12 gives me a feeling of too much coffee. I got a B12

shot once and thought I was going crazy. It was a wildly uncomfortable

few days before it started to wear off.

Whatever. This stuff is I think more complicated than it appears. In

any case, B12 or other Bs will mess me up, but DMSA fixes whatever

they mess up. Figure that one out.
