Hi Maxine,
By all means read it. The therapy suggested is the old traditional protocol of one injection of hydroxyb12 each 3 months after several in rapid succession which is quite ineffective for most anything except possibly correcting macrocytosis. However, the recognition of what constitutes b12 deficiency is the important part of this book. It expands the definition considerably from the traditional definition. It does not expand it as completely as the list of symptoms, signs and co-correlates posted earlier on this thread, but it does follow a young nurse's story of having to fight the establishment to get diagnosed and treated.

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. I find it easier to read out of a book than articles on the internet even tho I know that the ones in the book can be outdated. But I can read the book with hopefully so good background information while lying down and rereading if I have to. Reading off a monitor frequently causes me problems, I am sure others can relate to this. I am looking forward to reading the book and then reading more of what you have written.
Take care,
Maxine
