Thanks again Lar!
Either/or, not both. Regular oral B-12 (i.e. tablets you swallow), at 5,000 mcg/day would be more than adequate. Using sublingual forms would easily exceed the efficacy of the oral form. I can see no reason to consider injections.
>>>>>>>>>Some folks are said to not absorb B-12 very well at all....which is why (I guess) they're suggesting the sublimgual or injection forms.....so, "IF" I am not absorbing the B12 well at all, you think that enough will be absorbed if I just take a regular 5,000 mcg capsule huh?
Their rules are arbitrary, IMHO. I did recommend a B-complex to you already. I don't believe in high doses of individual B's, except when they are on top of a B-complex.
>>>>>>>> The reason that they say, "No B-Complex" is (as you know, lol) because they don't want me on B3 and folic acid, due to (they say) the fact that they build histamine blah, blah, blah....I don't know whether or not that is true but that's their reasoning.
> 5)Zinc Picolinate has been INcreased from 85 mg to 165 mg (despite taking 85 mg of Zinc for 7 months, my Zinc level FELL from a 96 to a 91 (per Pfeiffer's lab scale)! They say they want my Zinc between 105-130....my ratio of zinc:copper has improved though
Picolinate? When I researched chromium picolinate a few weeks back, I discovered compelling evidence that picolinic acid has adverse effects. Find a different form of zinc, OK? I use citrate, but I've also used chelated zinc.
>>>>>>>>>Yeah, I heard awhile back about chromium picolinate doing DNA damage (or something like that)....so picolinate, no matter what supp (nutrient) it is in, would do the same harm as if it were in chromium (i.e. 'anything picolinate' is not good?)
It takes months, even years, to get the zinc/copper ratio adjusted, it you're high copper to begin with.
>>>>>>>>>> yeah, I've went from a zinc-copper ratio of .80 to .89 in 7 months of treatment so far.
As always, thanks Hooverman!
