Comment on Vitamin B12 Deficiency by Jeffrey Dach MD

2010-02-07T04:57:06Z

I have been suffering from unexplained neurological problems for about 1 1/2 years starting shortly after a dental procedure. Two normal brain MRIs. I stumbled upon Sally Pacholok's postings and I have so many of the B12 deficiency symptoms even down to the white patches that have been getting worse on my arms and legs. I talked to my GP about it and they off-handedly said we can give you a B12 shot. I received an injection on 02/02/10 - I believe it was a small dose of the standard B12 they have at drs. offices. The liquid was clear if that matters.

After reading Sally's posts I really wish they had tested for the B12 deficiency before giving me the shot. I am 39-yrs-old, work full-time, and the mother of two young boys (my husband passed away from GBM last year) so I am desparate to feel like my old self again becauses I have a lot of responsiblity.

My question is, if I got a shot of B12 would it alter my levels for a long time or could the deficiency still show up in blood tests. What tests should I ask for? At this point I would be willing to take a day off to travel down your way to figure this out.

Symptoms started with tingling in fingers and hands, progressed to slight numbness that comes and goes, tongue tingling, fuzzy feeling - hard to focus, light sensitivity, ringing in ears, white spots on arms and legs, frequent headaches, and now I have been getting muscle twitches all over and cramps in my legs at night (have never had this before except when pregnant).

Thank you for taking your precious time to respond to me. -

Comment on Iodine Treats Breast Cancer, Overwhelming Evidence by Jeffrey Dach MD

I went to Whole Foods looking for Iodoral - which they did not have.

A staff member there suggested I call you,

I am very close by in Hollywood and wanted to see if it was possible to come in discuss Iodoral.

I have been advised to start on 12.5 mg twice a day and then increase to 50 mg after one week. Therefore, to start off I would like to get a 180 count bottle of 12.5 mg.

Thank you for your response.

Dear MW,

Many people use the Iodine supplement, Iodoral, which is available OTC without a prescription from Amazon or VRP.com.

However, it is best to consult with a knowledgable physician before hand.
