>Also, Larry, I just did a little research on Dr. Pall and found an article at ImmuneSupport.com. I found something interesting:
"Possibly the most intriguing such mechanism relates to the widespread use of vitamin B12 injections in treatment of CFS (3). Two forms of vitamin B12 are being used here, hydroxocobalamin, which is a nitric oxide scavenger and cyanocobalamin, which is converted to hydroxocobalamin by Pall human cells (3). These observations suggest that the nitric oxide/peroxynitrite proposed mechanism for CFS makes useful predictions for effective treatment."
and
"Cobalamin used in chronic fatigue syndrome therapy is a nitric oxide scavenger."
Here's the address:

There it is again. B3 involved again (along with mitochondria) for CFS this time. I have been taking 1 gm methylcobalamin some mornings sublingually but it definitely looks like I should increase that if it is related to CFS, adrenal fatigue, allergy/histamine response and it's involved with restting your clock. A common thread in so many of my maladies. Coincidence? I think not (but what the hell do I know?)Kara
