Aggressive treatment is needed for recovery.

Dear Healthcare providers and community members,
*** Labs are very erroneous creating a large diagnosis gap and misunderstanding of this deficiency.
*** Virus and stress exacerbates this deficiency rapidly.

*** B-12 deficiency affects nerves* gut* brain* tissue*. Systemically— it presents differently for each person (some psych, some skin, some vision, etc.)

MD's -Aggressive treatment with B-12 and cofactors while monitoring fluid shifts would greatly benefit patients and our communities immediatly.

LABS to consider(!) with serum

Serum homocysteine (hcys)
Methylmalonic acid (MMA)
Intrinsic Factor blocking antibody (ifab)

*cofactor

*potassium (high potassium diet)

*folate
*magnesium
*B complex with less than 10mg of B6.

***Monitor

***D, iron, zinc, copper
***Omega-3s
*Biotin *Selenium

*Advanced* B12
* daily or EOD IM or SQ hydroxocobalamin with cofactors for a minimum of 90 days for any neuro symptom. (see Albert Mir, MD new work on possible sublingual efficacy below and join the FB group for a comprehensive protocol)

research indicates - Patients with neuro symptoms will most likely develop more serious symptoms over 2-8 years if (active) B12 is not restored. This is not a can drink or a simple sublingual.
ANY Neuro sign like brain fog, fatigue, POTS, tinnitus, etc needs treatment. AUSTISM, DEMENTIA, MENTAL HEALTH disease and or mortality and morbidity will increase if this is left untreated.

Note- Labs will be erroneous with any B12 drinks or supplements in the last 4 months.

*Serums may be normal even high with the patient in a functional deficit. Treat to symptoms. ANY neuro symptom is an indicator of a B-12 deficiency. Left untreated -it can manifest with more dire consequences in the body years from now.

If you are a health care professional, university, or researcher I have contacted- please read the studies and reach out to the CDC with case # CDC-1232781-B4W6H4 if you agree with this information.

My goal is to bring awareness to the entire healthcare system of this particularly important topic, asap.

This is important and critical information for each Covid 19 patient. (and or ~40-50% of the Western population)

Most healthcare professionals will say nah.... it can't be B-12.... it's not.... it's way more complicated. Pernicious anemia groups have insight.

All my best,
