Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I've tried all areas of the mid thigh. I use a 21/2 inch insulin needle and I bury it deep. I give the shots twice a week but I take a full tree cc tube each time . This last time I moved forward on the thigh muscle and only shot 2cc. It has been since Sunday morning and it is numb to the touch.Thanks RE: Re: restless legs numb thighs from b12 inj? Thanks both are low.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I used to work for a physicians office in Michigan years ago and as soon as one of started to show signs of a cold, the doc gave us shots of b-12, and told us to take vit c. To boost the immune system. This was waaayy before my lyme days but that now has me wondering. What is the harm? Good question. I will be really curious to see the answers from those whose doc told them to avoid vitamin therapy. My doc, thought not a LLMD, but she does try. Her motto is that she was taught to treat the symptoms and not the labs. So I am trying to make a list to ask her questions. I hate to, she is very patient and very caring and has offered to treat me without my insurance since I have now lost it. Told me her only worry was to keep me in check. Hopefully, she will have the extra time to answer some of these questions. If anyone has any questions that you think she may be able to answer for me let me know and I will ask her or leave a list and find out next month (which I know a month for us feels like ten years). Everyone take care and may God bless you all and give you painless and energentic days with full nights of undisturbed sleep.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hi Emma, >Taking sublingual Vitamin B12 helped me when I lost feeling in my fingers >regularly and they kept turning ice cold and white. Are you talking about Raynaud's Syndrome? I've got that about 4-5 years ago. I've read somewhere it is also a Candida symptom. I didn't know that B12 helps, only Niacin was mentioned, plus vitamins A, C and some other supplements. A few years back I had it really bad... I seem to be getting better, although it still happens, but less often. For those of you who would like to know what I'm talking about, here is a short description: " Raynaud's syndrome, first described in 1862 by the French physician Maurice Raynaud, has no known cause or cure. The syndrome is a condition in which small arteries, most commonly in the fingers and toes, spasm and cause the skin to turn pale or a patchy red to blue. Estimates of its prevalence range from 5-30% of the population. It is five times more common in women, often striking females between the ages of 18 and 30. It is thought that 25-30% of cases occur in otherwise healthy women. " I've been taking B50 for a few years regularly, but if extra B12 helps that's great. I really don't enjoy Niacin flushes! And besides, only my head and torso gets hot, not the fingers where I really need it! Thanks, Jasmina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Dear Jasmina, The parts of the candida program works together to give your body what it needs to heal, which will cure your Raynaud's as well. To take too much of one supplement as opposed to others for long periods of time is not a good idea because it will cause imbalances. Your focus should be on getting all of the nutrients required, in balance, as recommended in my article, and not to shoot off treating this and that with extra supplements - that's what doctor's do and it is treating symptoms and not the overall body.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Good point, and I believe you are right. I am ok on the vitamins alone, thankfully, but I have heard of people with hypo that get the injections. Good luck. - sthpaclife <sthpaclife@...> wrote: Hi my next question to the group is about B12 absorption. I read that often an offshoot of hypothyroid can be lack of B12 i.e not being able to absorb B12 from ones diet. This actually happened to me and when I have my thyroid blood checks I also check for B12. My Doctor put me on injections once a month but I usually find two months is my target. I find at the end of two months I need the boost. Is anyone else on B12 injections or is it something that some of you should be looking at having tested. When you cannot absorb B12 you are starting to get pernicious anaemia. Worth checking if you are still feeling very dragged out.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 B 12 and folate are crucial to formation of new red blood cells, and deficiency of either can lead to fatigue...b 12 is absorbed into blood and also stored in the liver..sometimes the fatigue is a result of lack of ability to store rather than lack of the ability to absorb. B 12 is more readily absorbed from vegetable sources than animal sources. Did you know that a developing fetus' liver is responsible for the manufacture of red blood cells in the first 32 weeks of gestation? the bone marrow does not take over unitl after 32 weeks gestation...amazing.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Sorry to disagree with you April but B12 is definitely not better absorbed from vegetables - this is common knowledge and not just my opinion - and it is why vegetarians have to be careful about amenia - I have first hand experience with this - vegetarian myself for more than 20 years and two adult children who are strict vegetarians. My older daughter who is more vegan than the other has often become anemics and has digestion problems too - all related to deficiency in B12.

These last 2 weeks I am finaly starting to feel like my pre pregnancy self again. I hope it lasts. Before my pregnancy I only did the eco thyro, now I am doing all the other stuff. Did you speak to Dr. Dane or her receptionist and what did she say about the eco thyro when you stressed concern about animals, I am curious? - and Irwin <familyirwin@...> wrote: Hey , Did you say that you had hashimoto thyroiditis?

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hey , I talked to Dr Dane, and she said that " Life begets life " and that's basically about it. I didn't really push the issue, to be honest...because even though I am a vegan, for biblical reasons, I know that the bible does give provisions for consuming animal products too. And I know that probably animal glandulars are better than anything made in a lab. But, I would love to never touch it, if you know what I mean? One thing we did talk about was the blood type diet, because she insisted that I needed meat...aghh! So I asked her if she thought that the blood type diet was a joke, and she said that she thought it was good. So, I am a A blood type and so meat is not advised for my blood type. I too have hashimoto's, goiter, high TSH, and am really trying to cleanse right now to see what that will do. I am on day 6 of a 10 day fast with herbs, green food drink (Vitamineral Green, by Health Force Nutritionals), bowel, liver, blood, cleansing from various healing centers (www.modernmanna.org, www.cedarbrookhome.org, etc), and raw veggie and fruit juice. I do a sea water flush every other day (during the cleanse only) as this is suppost to help with returning trace minerals back to the system, and a bunch of water, cleansing tea, flax seed oil (4 tbs daily). I rebound, walk a lot (sometimes up to 8 miles a day, but mostly 4-6 miles), get lots of sunshine when I can, fresh air, I don't drink, or smoke (but did in the past), I try to pray a lot, but I know that I need to forgive people from my past. I have issues I know, that I need to let go and love people. I just want my life and health back. I graduated from West Point, so I was exposed to a ton of vaccines, stress, poor diet, lifestyle, etc. So, I need a healing. Over email, I talked with Dr. Dane's receptionist, and she said that the ingredients are from new zealand sheep. So that is better than cow, from what I understand. I'm curious, do you think that fish oils are better than flax seed oil? She wanted me to take a bunch of other supplements as well, but it was going to cost me too much, so now I am wondering if I should just take the eco-thyroid and the other thyroid stuff and rev it up, or what. Anyway, thanks for all of your advice! Blessings!

Due to brain fog, I already forgot what blood type I am. I am not sure I will agree with her or anyone else who says " you need meat " . I do recall her telling me when I was pregnant to " eat lots of fish " and I was unsure of her when she said that too. Due to the amount of bacteria and mercury, and not to mention the dangers of farm raised fish, I found that to be an odd demand coming from a " fertility specialist " to a pregnant woman. I don't know. Which supplement does she have that is from sheep? I do not know about fish vs. flax but I do know that a close friend of mine who has his doctrine in Oriental Medicine, is an acupunturist and an herbologist is very fond of Carlson's fish oils so I decided to go with that over the flax, don't really know though.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hey , I agree...I am so glad to have read your first post (plus all of them), and I read it to my husband, and said " her story is so much like mine! " Plus, you gave me hope when you mentioned that you were taking stuff from Dr. Dane and had some success. So, I looked into her site, and found it was from Sheep, which is exactly what I told my husband I would consider, if anything from an animal, even before I read your post. So, I feel that your post was an answered prayer! Thanks! We live in California! Where do you live? Yes, I totally agree about fish too...especially when pregnant!

" so this would include the Eco-Thyro as well as the ThyroComplex. It sounds like they probably changed from Cow to Sheep. Dr Dane said that I need to take the Energizer product as well, since it contains complete amino acids, as well as the Eco-Thyro and the ThyroComplex, and the Rev-it up. So, I don't know if I can afford all of them...so I am considering just taking the Eco-Thyro and ThyroComplex since that is what I feel I need the most. Yeah, keep in touch too! Blessings!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hi Michele, well I guess I am taking sheep then, because I order directly from the company and so does Dr. Dane. The company are the ones that told me to seek advice from her when I got pregnant and they said she is a doctor in NY that they sell too, so I guess they switched from cow to sheep. Now, I am on 4 a day which Dr. Dane will not prescribe or recommend. She had told me to tak no more then 3 and include her " rev it up " but ever since my miscarriage I have not felt the same and I tried for a long time to just take 3 ecos and 6 rev it ups but after a few weeks it was back to the same dicomfort so now I am taking 4 ecos (2 in the am 2 in the afternoon) and 2 rev it ups. I am definatley feeling better but it is a little upsetting that both Dr. Dane and the company looked down upon taking 4 a day, but I feel my other alternative is synthroid or Armour and I feel better with the 4 a day and my blood work shows better results that way so I will continue. I read all the messages on this site regarding Armour and how people are prescribing their own dose because the doctors will only prescribe so much so that is comforting to me in regards to my eco thyro. Anyway, nice chatting with you. I live in Miami but am originaly from NY. I have lived in Florida for a yr. and a half now and I am a Massage Therapist and my husband is an Account Executive for Countrywide Homeloans.

I too have hashimoto's, goiter, high TSH, and am really trying to cleanse right now to see what that will do. I am on day 6 of a 10 day fast with herbs, green food drink (Vitamineral Green, by Health Force Nutritionals), bowel, liver, blood, cleansing from various healing centers (www.modernmanna.org, www.cedarbrookhome.org, etc), and raw veggie and fruit juice. I do a sea water flush every other day (during the cleanse only) as this is suppost to help with returning trace minerals back to the system, and a bunch of water, cleansing tea, flax seed oil (4 tbs daily). I rebound, walk a lot (sometimes up to 8 miles a day, but mostly 4-6 miles), get lots of sunshine when I can, fresh air, I don't drink, or smoke (but did in the past), I try to pray a lot, but I know that I need to forgive people from my past. I have issues I know, that I need to let go and love people. I just want my life and health back. I graduated from West Point, so I was exposed to a ton of vaccines, stress, poor diet, lifestyle, etc. So, I need a healing. Over email, I talked with Dr. Dane's receptionist, and she said that the ingredients are from new zealand sheep. So that is better than cow, from what I understand. I'm curious, do you think that fish oils are better than flax seed oil? She wanted me to take a bunch of other supplements as well, but it was going to cost me too much, so now I am wondering if I should just take the eco-thyroid and the other thyroid stuff and rev it up, or what. Anyway, thanks for all of your advice! Blessings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this molecule is similar to B-12 and hemoglobin, it is a different chemical. At the bare minimum, B-12 has a cobalt atom in the mix. I don't see how chlorophyll can be a source of B-12 unless you also supply cobalt. Also, it is not a source of other nutrients, unless you are talking about some sort of supplement that contains these things. Chlorophyll by itself cannot supply these.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Excuse me for not be more specific. When you (not you personaly Chuck) go to the health food store and inquire about Chlorophyll you will see the brands that are sold usualy have other ingredients in the chloropyhll, chloropyll being the main one. I drink it in my water everyday for over all good cleansing. It does many great things for the body, here's just a few: builds a high blood count provides iron to the organs counteracts toxins improves anemic conditions cleans and deodorizes bowel tissue (helps constipation as well) helps purify the liver Chuck B <gumboyaya@...> wrote: , You wrote: > I put Chloropyll in my water everyday 2x a day.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 How do you know you are getting enough B12 from the chlorophyll? Re: B12 I put Chloropyll in my water everyday 2x a day. It is an excellent source of B12, along with many other vitamins and nutrients. I highly recommend it. It can be picked up at any local health food store. :0) -jessica Chuck B <gumboyaya@...> wrote: Gracia, You wrote: > > I never heard of a vegetable source of B-12. Yeast, soy, and wheat gluten.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I don't, never said I did. I take B vitamins as well as drink chlorophyll. I drink the chloropyhll for many different reasons, it just happens to be a B source. Kerry Ann Faithfull <kerry@...> wrote: How do you know you are getting enough B12 from the chlorophyll?

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 IS the Dr Dane referred to in your letters the Dane of the Metatype theory? Re: B12 Are you me??? LOL! We are so similar, past, present, and probably future. Where do you live? Due to brain fog, I already forgot what blood type I am. I am not sure I will agree with her or anyone else who says " you need meat " . I do recall her telling me when I was pregnant to " eat lots of fish " and I was unsure of her when she said that too. Due to the amount of bacteria and mercury, and not to mention the dangers of farm raised fish, I found that to be an odd demand coming from a " fertility specialist " to a pregnant woman. I don't know. Which supplement does she have that is from sheep? I do not know about fish vs. flax but I do know that a close friend of mine who has his doctrine in Oriental Medicine, is an acupunturist and an herbologist is very fond of Carlson's fish oils so I decided to go with that over the flax, don't really know though.
