Vitamin B12

[Swarfmaker]

On the WeMove.org message board for CBGD, there has been discussion
about a book called "Could it be B12" that calls attention to the
problem caused by low B12 levels. Here is the link to it on
Amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Could-Be-B12-Epidemic-Misdiagnoses/dp/1884956467

This interesting review of it is from Amazon.com:

I am an MD, a nutritional physician, and a psychiatrist
(Canadian-board-certified) who has been studying vitamin B12
extensively since
1976, and applying that knowledge in my private nutritional, metabolic
and
psychiatric practice in Tucson AZ since 1994 (and Portsmouth VA before
that).

This book is an outstanding compilation of anecdotes, references and
experiences
on the "underground devastator" of our society. The reason why this is
not
common knowledge in the medical profession in the US is because the
laboratory
"normal range" is way too low. In Japan the range is 2.5 times higher
at its low
end - and Japan has very little "Alzheimer's Dementia", and less
depression and
bipolar disorders, than we do in the US.

In the 26 years that I have been investigating B12, memory disorders
and
depressive/ bipolar illnesses, NO patient who came to me with a memory
problem
(early Alzheimer's) has gone on to Alzheimer's dementia, and I have a
near-perfect track record in helping people overcome depression and
bipolar
disorders. These outcomes are largely due to my permanent optimization
of every
patient's serum B12 level.

Congratulations to Ms Sally Pacholok RN on an outstanding recording of
most of
the important facts and treatments for this serious condition. I
believe it to
be the best book out there for a combination of both medical and lay
readers on
this condition.

[To anyone reading this review: Please do not simply go and buy B12
tablets or
lozenges and start taking them, before getting an accurate serum level
measured.]
