If one were not wanting to go with the shots, do you still need a Rx for the nasal spray? If not, do you know where to get it in the nasal spray form? cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I don't know much about the nasal spray. I believe you do need a Rx though. My friend tried it for a while and didn't think it did much, so switched to shots. My DAN Dr. didn't think it worked as well as the shots. Are you afraid to do the shots? Is the B12 for you or your child? I do the shots about 15 minutes after he goes to sleep. He has no clue about them, he will move sometimes but it is a very tiny needle, I tried it out on myself and can barely feel it.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 oral methyl b-12's i found feed intestinal yeast so i use the cyanocobalamin b-12 which does not feed intestinal yeast but you need adequate selenium since good levels of glutathione are required are required to detox the cyano portion of the b-12 mb12 is proably best by injection done by yourself to keep control over the amount and frequency but i find that the cyano doing it the way i do it seems to work well many kids on this board would benefit trendously by b-12 injections for a short while at least, probably help with weight loss etc and starting issues, would cut months off recovery time. > > Could someone please tell me if the B12, Vitamin (Methylcobalamin), > Sublingual Liquid from Vitamin Research Products is SCD legal? > > If not, what do you all use? > > Thank you for any help in this regard. > Cathy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 i think injected b-12 is like enzymes, changes things so much its foolish not to it nasal b-12 encourages yeast > > I don't know much about the nasal spray.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Cathy, My daughter has an RX for the nasal spray, my son gets the shots (over 1 1/2 yrs now). We noticed some improvement in speech and he started sleeping at night and his leg cramps disappeared for a time. But then, nothing new. We actually had to decrease his dose since the one for his weight started to make him hyper. Last urinary metabolic test still showed him with a high need for B12 so I don't know what the deal is there. We tried the nasal spray over the winter for my girl, but she seemed to catch every cold and flu and I couldn't give it to her consistantly. The nasal spray only seemed to make her more congested plus I was concerned about harboring germs on the applicator. She also complained it burned. But, I can't sneak in and give her shots like my son- she wakes up at the slightest sound and it takes forever for her to fall back asleep. Plus she was scared to go to sleep. So....We are retrying the nasal spray again next week- I actually just called and refilled it this morning. If it still bothers her sinuses I have to decide either to make her take the shots awake (she's a total needle phobe so that would not be fun!) or try the oral form or a cream like my friend has compounded for her daughter. I use oral B12 from hallelujah acres for myself- don't know legality. I would love to know if MB12 shots were available without prescription because I would get them for myself! Janet, mom to Cody- 5 yrs old- SCD since 4-17-06- multi food allergies, etc. > > If one were not wanting to go with the shots, do you still need a Rx > > for the nasal spray?

Which means it creates a demand for adequate folice acid. If you do NOT have absorption problems, and your child eats appropriate amounts of fruits/veggies high in FA, you are probably okay. When we started w/ the MB12 shots with Glenn in 11/04, we found that he benifited immensly from supplementation from folinic acid (the " body-ready " version of FA). Some kids have a genetic issue with getting folinic acid from folate food sources and that is why we chose to do this. Worked great for us. -christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 good point, i find i need 200 - 400 mg of metafolin to counterbalance the 20 mcg of oral cyano b-12 i take folic acid didn't seem to cut it but the source naturals metafolin does (a metabolically more active form of folic acid) its also great for sleep > > > > > > many kids on this board would benefit trendously by b-12 > injections > > for a short while at least, probably help with weight loss etc and > > starting issues, would cut months off recovery time. > > > > > > > > > The thing to watch w/ the MB12 inj is that since you bypass all > the gut absorption issues, you get nearly 100% return on the B12. > Which means it creates a demand for adequate folice acid.
