methylB12 is superior to cyna; i am learning the hard way.
Major detoxing going on; i feel sick and have headaches.
That being said it lets me know there will be benefits.
Fred you were right and injectable price; just got bill;DAMN!!!!!!!
Hi Islandfinn,
I also take curcumin, mostly for it's anti-Alzheimer's properties. Lyme has done a major number on my memory.
Exocrine Pancreatic insufficiency is very rare in humans and is usually caused by alcoholism. Since I am a lifelong teetotaler, that cannot be the cause in my case. It is a very common problem in German Shepards, however! As far as I know, there are no German Shepards in my family tree, lol.
You can also have Endocrine Pancreatic insufficiency, which is different, and will cause diabetes, and I am now at higher risk for that, as well as pancreatic cancer. I find your story of that woman's recovery inspiring and it certainly gives one hope.
I am sorry for getting Fred's B12 thread off track. If others are interested, we can start a thread on the gallbladder and pancreas elsewhere....not sure which would be the most appropriate place.

Hi Fred,
Since your GB ended up being like a big scar, I would bet that car accident injured it a lot.
I would LOVE to hear about your NDEs. Anything metaphysical is right up my alley. I will PM you on that since it has nothing to do with this thread.
I will post the info on another forum if you give me the URL, etc.
I will PM you the symptoms of pancreatic insufficiency. Do not read them while you are eating!
A very good web site for the truth about gallbladders and how they are not really an unnecesary organ is www.gallbladderattack.com.
40% of people continue to have problems after surgery, esp. middle-aged females, and as my acupuncturist said, a gallbladder problem is really a liver problem. If you have an imbalance between bile and cholesterol, your liver can still produce stones, which can come down and get stuck in ducts, requiring surgery and causing symptoms. I take silymarin in my multivitamin daily now to help my liver. I am hoping the TMG will help it also, since it is used in naturopathy to treat fatty liver.

Added SAM-e yesterday, 125mg. Effects so far, nausea, increased appetite, drowsiness. I'm guessing I don't need this co-factor?

Hi Freddd,
what is IAIYH?? Beckster
Hi Fredd, Help! Help! I have been off all the B12's since Saturday and I am going down fast, especially mood and the anxiety is so bad that my legs are vibrating. The detox scared me because it was so bad I couldn't have done it another day, I still have some nausea today, it never completely went away. Which one of the B12's do think caused the most detox? I am thinking it was the adb12 when I upped it to 3 pills I became really sick. I want to try again because I was so much better three weeks ago compared to today. Fredd, I can't stay where I am at, I am not sure what I am asking maybe some convincing to start again but slower. Each week on the B12's I felt improvement, anxiety lessened, mood improved, fatigue improved, even sleep improved off and on. Do you have to go through the bad detox to get to the other side?

Hi Lena
You and me both. I am also in detox since starting the methyl B12, to the extent of having a full-on herx on Tuesday - headache, strong metal taste, nausea, brain fog, all of which diminished with successive bowel movements. I felt great after that, and then the next phase of detox started...
I think you DO have to go through detox to get better. I have found that I can control the rate of detox with the methyl B12. I am fine on 2mg, in slow detox on 3mg, in full blow herx on 4mg. I am assuming that the detox is one of the first things to take place on the active B12 protocol, as our methylation functions have been blocked for many years, and the body is finally getting the chance to clear out heavy metals and viruses.
I have also found that I can't stop the methyl B12 now. I had decided to back off for a day after the herx, but around the time I normally take it (and didn't) I got palpitations, which then stopped when I did then take the 1 mg tablet. Does the body get used to it like that?
Anyway, I am going to stick with it. I am convinced my body needs the B12, and although detoxing is horrid, it needs to be done in order to get well. The key is to control the rate of detox, which is something I am working on...

For me at least I had palpitations for decades and only finally got rid of them when I went to B-right twice a day, a couple of years after starting both mb12 and adb12 but not methylfolate, so maybe it was the folic acid. In 2 days of once a day they come back. So there are other cofactors at work too.
Fred, what kind of palpitations? I have an arrhythmia I'd love to resolve. Holter test revealed about a dozen extra beats over a 24 hour period. It's most troublesome when laying down/sleeping.
Hi David,
what kind of palpitations?
I don't know. I'll ask my doc next week when I go in. They happened multiple times per minute around the clock. They were some sort of arrhythmia. We never did any expensive testing as no money and we knew they existed. So they got pretty much ignored for decades. I had a series of EKGs for a phase III trial I was in and the docs didn't seemed concerned and the drug made no differences.
