Hi there,
This is all interesting. I am new and seek help for this. I am following this basic protocol and have jumped right in.
Protocol:
- Jarrow Formulas 5mg Methyl B12, under upper lip or tongue for at least 45 minutes for best effectiveness
- Country Life Dibencozide (adenosylb12) 3mg under upper lip or tongue for at least 45 minutes for best effectiveness
- Solgar Metafolin 800mcg
- Jarrow B-Right b-complex, 1 capsule twice a day
- Potassium, your choice of brand and form - this is insurance against hypokalemia triggered by sudden healing and potentially fatal - if you have blood tests, potassium is usually checked, midrange, around 4.5 is good. Some people will have problems at bottom of "normal" range, 3.5-4.0 as I do.
- Omega3 fishoils - essential for myelin sheathing for the nerves, many brands will do, 2-6+ capsules per day, I buy it at Costco, house brand. This is available in manysupermarkets.
I'm severely b12 deficient with Neurological symptoms---shooting pains and numbness in face and head. I'm using other brands with matching amounts. I'm 99 pounds.
Is this a good start? My potassium keeps plummeting. I'm drinking coconut water almost constantly. This protocol seems to keep shooting nerve pains in my head at bay. I just don't know if I'm taking enough or too much. Feel nerve pain calming, but it returns In a few hours, so I take more b12/metafolin.
I guess my question is am I making progress?
Any thoughts welcome
Nikki
