Remember this: Drs. don't study NUTRITION.. everyone needs to be their own advocate and do their own research..

Sounds a lot like total shit to me

Hey Charlotte, You need to see a kinesiologist, he can detect and maybe heal your nerve damage by activating your inner healing power plus an orthomolecular doctor (a nutritionist is not qualified enough for such an extreme case like yours). Martina Leukert here in Germany is such an orthomolecular specialist (not a doctor though), send her an E-Mail, and you might get some helpful feedback. Cheers

Yea been there too. Mine were at 92. I had even more symptoms. I started taking 1000-2000mcg daily and in 6 weeks everything was good

Wow, i just got told i have no b12 in my body and that my liver and spleen are enlarged, for 4 weeks on Tuesday i get a b12 shot then sublingual tablets . Hopefully i get some change cause i feel this story and looking into things to help myself .

Just self Inject

Lock out-tag out my friend. Its taught in major manufacturing industries religiously.

Am like this but dont want to go to docs so brought a vitamin mineral dna test to do at home

Nice video. B12 plays a role in the production of stomach acid, which is crucial for proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of strong digestion for overall health. You can try Planet Ayurveda Vitamin b12 capsules.

This happened to me. I wasn't able to walk for a two months. Doctors were no help at all. I got help through a facebook group on B-12 deficiency. I treated myself and now a few months later have made a full recovery. Have to give myself self-injections every other day. Thanks for sharing your story. Honestly, even well respected doctors of neurology have zero experience in B-12 deficiency to the point that it is scary.

These “doctors” man. It takes a miracle doctor to figure out what’s wrong.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. It would be so much better without that awful background music.

My nurse said if I don’t get regular injections of b12 I will die if heart failure

YOUR LAWYERS ARE IN FUCKING SYDNEY! PAY YOUR FUCKING BILLS!

If you dare to question a gp, healthcare worker in NHS, or have the audacity to research, then confront or query....Trust me, you'll suffer the consequences and not get what you need. This is what I did and I basically now just speak with my local pain clinic and the consultant Pharmacist attached to my crap gp practice. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. The wickedness is palpable, especially to dobit to a young person. 😤😡🤬🤬

How bad were his injuries, and did he get any compensation?

Makes me so angry to hear these stories. I have no trust in the medical system at all, they are only interested in making appointments that lead to nothing so they can make money.

GP’s are useless. Important your own B12 from Germany and get well. S & G wouldn’t help me because covid was involved. Long Covid is the biggest case of B12 deficiency on the planet. The symptoms are the same. My local MP is taking this up with the department of health.

Great video Ray. Thank you for all you do in this very important field of work.

I am b 12 deficient . My level was 80 😂 And I got joint pain Pains and needle Coldness One night my both legs were totally numb. My gp gave me 1 mg b 12 ever day for three months

Doctors are horrible. The minute you have suffered from any sort of mental health issues they then blame everything on that. Medical gaslighting.

Ew she’s white

I have a very similar story to Jimmy, loads of seemingly disconnected symptoms, mainly fatigue , hair loss,incontinence, and terrible brain fog. I am 76,female and diabetic. They put me on metformin - look it up! It robs the body of B12. The government knows it, but doctors don't seem to.. When I persuaded my GP to do a blood test it came back 'normal '. So I bought some pills (methylcobalamin) took them and began to feel better. I am trying to keep this as short as possible, but it has been a long worrying time for me. To add to all this there are a couple of genes that can be defective, preventing the absorption of B12 the MTHFR genes. So serum B12 levels look OK but it's just not getting to where it is needed. Do as much research as you can - it's your health that is suffering.

I became sick in 2004 they told me I have pibolar desorder typ 1 they give me olanzapine 5mg and depaken 500mg finally I became dead inside I stoped and I take vitimin b12 every day one tablet 1mg and I feel much better now

Jimmy, what dose was you on in the end? Weekly, daily? And which form of b12 shots? Hydroxo, methyl, cyno????

Hello Everyone. Thanks to Jimmy, Charlotte & the Team @ Slater & Gordon for shedding light on this deficiency. I am all the way in Africa and have been to two GP’s with a b12 level of 203 pmol/L. They say 133-674 pmol/L is normal range, but I feel horrendous, daily. I have been on 1mg of Cyanocobalamin since mid January this year. The effects wear off in a short period and I am back to feeling terrible by 10am, lol. Please share with me what are acceptable normal ranges in your respective countries? Thanx in advance.

No update, no before or after. Info is same as a health food store. Remember, people who are about to die of dementia or Alzheimer's have a period of lucidity before passing on. Could it be just this? Who knows. No update or follow up.

3:20 It's not as rare as much as they rarely diagnose it for what it is. What made the WHO finally, and publicly suggest HoloTransCobalamine as the standard test for deficiency (I think it was in 2013.) were *exactly* multitudes of cases where a person had been, unsuccessfully of course, treated from anything from depression, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis etc. - only for it to turn out to be a B12 deficiency. Staggering amount of medical doctors still think it's only a haemathological condition, and will ask a patient the stick their tongue out, and if he/she does not demonstrate glossitis and does not appear anemic (lacks pallor) they'll wave it off. Especially if the blood tests don't indicate megaloblastic anemia. Not trying to be rude - but that's plainly being poorly informed. And the Total B12, which is routinely done is almost completely useless to diagnose a deficiency, and when that's bellow 200 a patient might have actually already suffered irreversible nerve damage.

The healthiest thing you can do is to eat red meat (mainly from ruminants) and animal fat!!! Studies have proven that this prevents and cures Alzheimer's and all other diseases! You can occasionally supplement with all kinds of berries, but NO nightshades!!! Nothing that contains starch! No grains! No seed oils! Look up Dr Chaffee, Dr Berry, Dr Wiedeman, Dr Bredesen, Dr Ovadia, Dr. Cywes, Dr. Baker etc.

Is this true. Don't take the. P__ please 🇬🇧🥺

Don’t fall for Slater Gordon publicity. I was a whistleblower. Slater-Gordon took my money, used gaslighting by rewriting my claim, as if it was a misunderstanding with an NHS Trust and then closed my case, leaving me unsupported, when I was suspended for whistleblowing about children’s deaths.

Wishing you all the very best Charlotte. I've just been diagnosed too, I lost a lot of weight, very tired and no appetite. Fortunately my GP arranged blood tests straight away and the next week I started my injections. I'm so sorry you didn't get help sooner. x

I'm so sorry for you! I am there with you. I feel like my life is being wasted. I'm glad you kept fighting for yourself. I hope you will continue to improve and get back your health. My God bless you!

My GP dismisses my symptoms and tells me I will recover. My right hand turned very dark and after 4 months it still remains the same, my GP tells me it's sun burn even after telling him that I don't sit in the sun. His explanation was that one can get sun burn whilst inside the house. I rest my case. I have dizzy spells, tingling in my hands and legs, pimples in my mouth, tiredness etcetra. I have given up with doctors and at my wits end.

Dr's are so ignorant to the body's need for vitamins and give dangerous or non helpful advice, I have cured many conditions that my "real" Dr had no idea how to heal me. They wonder why we are going to youtube for our health advice, we have to get help somewhere. Sue them if you can, they need to know this is unacceptable.

Mine came out to be 130 i am 22yrs male. I am worried now

Thank you to jimmy, I have suffered for years with similar situation.. Finally a move to another GP’s surgery almost instantly 2 just below the levels blood tests and I start treatment in May this year 2024.. But thank you for letting me know I’m not mad and not dying either!!

What to do if HR avoid to provide the documentation of the dismissal case I've requested?

It's bad that this happened to me and 3 docs later I find out I'm viatmin b12 deficiency and d2 deficient and 3 months now I'm starting to feel better don't le t these doctors ruin you get 2nd or 3rd opinion seriously

I'm in a similar boat. I have to wait until June before a follow-up with the neurologists assistant. I'm hoping I can get her to understand that my body isn't absorbing the B12 and I need the injections. I have narcolepsy coupled with the deficiency, so I spend most of my time in bed. It's awful.

My ex left me September 2022 and ive had my daughter every night. Never been to court. She put blokes before our daughter. She was 14 months old at the time. She doesn't have a routine and screws it up every time when she feels like having her. Her son smokes weed, her fella had a seizure 2 weeks ago and i wasn't informed and found out about it and hes not allowed to drive but hes been driving her car with my daughter in it. Am at the point where am going to end up losing it as there is no reasoning with her so i guess my only option is social services. I don't know where she lives or have her phone number. I don't even know her boyfriends name whos been around my daughter the same day they got together. Hell hes even threatened me and said Olivia is able to sleep in the same bed as him and her mum which is creepy as hell

A lot of doctors are stupid…….

Omg I wish I had known better

Doctors treat Covid like they did because they were getting paid by the government for every vaccination they gave. Obviously this made money for them and the pharmaceutical companies. Therein lies the problem.....greed.

Its not possible to overdose on B12. Physically - not possible. So many General Practitioners really know a lot less than the general population whom are self educated - about issues such as vitamin B12 deficiency.

Guy in the thumbnail has great arms.

This very same thing happened to me almost just as it happened to her. Luckily, I only lived 10 months in this condition. By this time, I had seen multiple specialist and piled up medical debt. I am the one who ended up figuring out what was wrong with me. I started eating meat constantly and bought supplements. I was 30% better within 2 weeks. I started having feeling in my legs again. I sort of plateaued and then added magnesium, calcium, and potassium and within another 2 weeks I was over 90% better. Luckily for me, the feeling in my legs came back completely and my back returned mostly to normal as well. It is an absolute shame how many doctors and debt I went through to learn that I needed B12. Not one of them had the slightest inclination nor did they care once my insurance card was processed.

My husband and I are vegetarians. Me, for 9 years, him, for 5. Before that I ate very little meat fish about 3 times a month. I did not know much about b12 until about 4 years ago. I suffer only from EDS. I need to talk to somebody who can really listen and do a through medical history and examination and take my complaints seriously because I cannot stand not being able to hike and swim and be free out there again, and I do not know exactly what is wrong. I'm not in the UK. My story is complicated. I live between Germany and the USA. I do not know where I can go for help. Many of the symptoms of b12 deficiency overlap with symptoms of eds, such as POT's, which in my case, have increased. I do have almost constant pains and needles. during the pandemic, perhaps also for lack of exercise, I had repeated tremors in my let eye and, after that, a series of "threads", little pieces of fiber that now I know people call "floaters" began to blurry my vision. I was at the doctor's office again yesterday. 2 of my fingernails on my right hand have very fast began to sink into the fingers, as though I had squeezed it in a door jamb, except that I haven't. I asked the doctor whether we could check for vitamin b12 (insurance does not cover it, and we are going through a very rough patch right now) . Very condescendingly, she said she did not believe it was needed. I am planing to change doctors. It does not help I cannot speak the language, and she seems to think I am stupid for that reason. I am stunned that doctors never even ask whether we eat meat. We do not eat animals because of ethical reasons. However, whereas before we felt a strong cognitive dissonance regarding eating animals and leaving a massive carbon footprint for contributing to global warming and suffering, now I have a cognitive dissonance centered in the fear that we both might be getting sick due to a lack of vitamin b12. I do not know where I can put pressure for my husband and I to be tested. We take b12 supplements (sometimes we forget for days) but I understand that the body takes what it needs for that day and discards the rest, all at the same time that we could have very well depleted the reserves we are supposed to have in the liver. I have always looked jaundiced and struggled with important anemia for 7 years. (my iron levels are borderline now, but on the good side) and vitamin D3 deficiency. I just cannot seem to find ONE responsible physician willing to look at the big picture and do a complete assessment of what is going on. My husband is getting sick continuously, his eczema worsening, he has developed lactose intolerance, and we both have lost focus and I do struggle with mental fog. He dismisses my concerns, but I know we need help, and I do not know where to find it. We used to hike, we love nature, I want to get back out and have hope. I just do not know where else to find answers to what is happening to me. Unfortunately your website only takes UK numbers, and I am very aware we are not in your jurisdiction, but maybe you could suggest were to start searching for answers and a solution to this massive problem of lack of serious diagnosis and access to a potentially lifesaving treatment that is reasonable, and I gather, not even that expensive, in comparison to all the tests, MRIs etc etc, that doctors sometimes rely on to discard other pathologies, more with the intention to cover their own backs than to help their patients.

Mine was a 83

I have same doctors don't understand or want to
