How Much B12 is TOO MUCH? - The Nerve Doctors

[@carrirutt1208]

Answer to prayer. I recently had routine blood work completed. B12 Results @ 1,383, and i was concerned it is too high. From what i gathered from your post is that my body is in an optimal state of repair. It now makes sense for the less inflammation, more energy ( I can go more than 3 hours cleaning) etc. Thank you kindly. 🎉🙌

[@windy42305]

My husband’s just came back high too, over 1,100. So sounds like we shouldn’t worry. He was taking Nerve support and Bcomplex.

[@nameofthegame9664]

@@windy42305It’s very common to have high serum B12 when you have a B1 deficiency. If he’s deficient in B1 he can have sufficient and also high serum B12 without utilizing it, a so called functional B12 deficiency. I would definitely add some more B1 supplements like Benfothiamine 3-400mg to my routine if I were him. The B-complex is not enough if he’s deficient in B1.

When I was 65 my primary car physician during an annual health visit did a quick sensation check on the bottom of my feet. I could not feel it. My B12 blood test was normal although on the low end of normal. She recommended take a B12 supplement with 2000 mg. I did and within 6 days my feet had returned to pretty normal sensation. They continued to improve for more than six months. I continued taking B12 and will for the rest of my life.

I have ideopathic peripheral neuropathy and also had normal b12 levels but low normal. I’ve been taking 2000 mcg of b12 daily for 3 weeks now and my symptoms have diminished significantly. I found this through my own research. My neurologist never mentioned it.

At the age of 35, one day at a very stressful job, I suddenly lost the feeling in the tips of my toes, fingers and the ability to taste also having lost the feeling in my tongue. I also developed a splitting headache, lost a lot of weight and noticed my hair falling out. My doctor instinctively tested for my B12 levels. My levels were so low, that they did not register on the test. She put me on weekly injections and was concerned if I might have developed permanent nerve damage. She said also that because I had premature grey hair, that it was very luckily that I did not absorb B12 well. Luckily, after 6 scary months, I gradually regained all the feeling back with no damage. More than 10 years have passed, and I make sure I take B12 almost daily now.

I had to take 35,000 mcg of B12 everyday years ago for 6 months, I then started to reduce it and over a year I had to stabilize at 15 to 20,000 a day for almost a year I’m now at 10,000 a day . I’ve had 5 low back surgeries and 3 neck surgeries. I was also exposed to benzene severely in 88 . And my adrenal glands are enlarged to about the size of a half dollar. It was to the point I didn’t want to get out of bed or take a bath . My family didn’t understand they thought I was just lazy and in self pity. I was praying and praying for help but drs didn’t help . I was woken up one night around 3am to go and research adrenal fatigue. And the video said to take but loads of B12 so I started with 2,000 and each morning I doubled it until I was back up and moving around. It took about two weeks. I was back my garage doing things . I hurt because of my past injuries I’m not on any pain meds and I don’t let the pain stop me as much as it used too . I recover and hit it again, I recover and repeat. I was 27 when exposed to benzene, I’m here because of my prayers and Gods blessing, I was 21 when I broke my back and I was 43 when I injured my neck that was the one the took me out of work. I’m now weeks away from 64 . I still do things but much much slower. But I’m persistent until it’s done . I weld build things do woodwork and I a retired electrician. Each day is a gift even in the pain and believe me it’s painful. Some days I can’t walk , god ask us to praise him even in the valley as well as the mountain top and I can tell you without him I couldn’t make it in those valleys. You would be amazed what he will do for you in just praising him on those difficult days , God is Good ❤

If you’ve ever had Trigeminal Neuralgia, an excruciating facial nerve condition that’s nicknamed “The Suicide Disease,” you wouldn’t think anything is too much when it comes to B12. Because of sublingual Methylcobalamin taken at 5,000 mcg dosage, my TN completely disappeared! It was nothing short of miraculous-keeping me from having to have a scheduled MVD surgery (brain surgery) at UCI in Irvine, Ca. Three years later, I am still symptom free! I still take sublingual 5,000 mcg every two days just to make sure the TN doesn’t come back. Back in the 50’s sublingual B12 was widely used for TN and MS as a first line of treatment. But then Big Pharma arose and… well you know the rest of that story. It’s an all-too familiar one. 😮

[@SFUMU]

Interesting to read your comment. I have intermittent TN and have monthly injections due to low absorption issues. I wonder if I should get my dose increased.

I cannot even understand how b12 can heal cluster/similar. I use the highest one CAN use without making a issue for the rest of the body . Because , its not like one doesnt have a limit ? I use triptan and o2 (8 to twelve bar/high pressure) against cluster /suicidal headache. I couldnt make it without,tbh. No matter supplements. It IS a infection on the back of the eye , right ,so one needs triptans/ergotamine,to contract bloodwessel that is swollen ...i think? Its the only thing that work for me. Even strong petidin/ketamin/morphin wont help. I have tryed everything ,im sure. All neuralgica medication,supplements,botox ,nerve blokade's (waist of time). I have been offered surgery,but the high risc surgery dont often work,so... I thought everyone with this type of headache get high pressure high bar o2 ? And nausia medication ,of course. This type of headache is easy to spot,it makes one eye deep,bright red and swollen,and tears will flow ,constantly (and nose will run,at the same side). The patient cannot lie still , like people with migraine will do. Its a horrible state . But it MIGHT disapear, or at least become a rare thing . So, cross fingers !

One can get nerve damage, higher risc of blood clogs and lung cancer , anemia , and so on, with to much b12. I DO fet you want to take your chance,if your life is filled with those seizuers ,tho. They can destroy lifes,and they do. I know. But i still wonder , dont you have ANY help from 02(it HAS to be with pressure mask,and at least 8 bar for 15 minutes, or it wont work. Normal is 2 bar ,or so...,it IS a lot. But it has to be. I use 10 bar, so i empty a bottle very fast. Has to have those big ones! ). You dont use ANY other help for your seizuers?

I have high homocysteine due to homozygous MTHFR mutation. High doses of methylcobalamin were prescribed, but a few months later I had odd symptoms, including strange aches and muscle pains, brain fog and terrible insomnia. Soon after, I broke out in a bright red, full-body rash that lasted several days. The high-dose B12 was the only recent change I had made, and it turns out I am allergic to cobalt. This also explained a decades-long reaction I had had to certain types of eye makeup, which caused oozing, painful rashes. I always thought some unknown red pigment was to blame, but it was blue from cobalt. Skin rashes are one thing, but the full-body and brain problems I had with high doses of methylated B-12 were debilitating. So it's not correct to say it is completely safe at high doses. A small percentage of us will have an allergic reaction

Most people don't have a problem with knowing how much to take. Their problem is that they use the doctor's Serum B12 test results to tell them if they are okay. They do this without knowing the Methionine Cycle the Folate Cycle and the MS enzyme that connects them. If more doctors performed MMA and Hyc tests rater than an almost useless Serum B12 test, they would have a much better idea of their Methylation and Transsulphuration status, which is what it's all about.

Someone in the comments was asking if there was more pain as neuropathy healed. Unknown if this is universal, but in 2010 I suffered from Guillain Barré Syndrome (Miller Fisher Variant) and had a lot of neuropathy in hands and feet, plus a few other places. I took benfotiamine and methyl B12, along with some other nutrients. The onset was in May and I only got rid of the double vision in mid-July. Neuropathy in my hands kept me from working till mid-October, when I was able to start again even though I still had some neuropathy. I have just a few small places left. I did not suffer pain as the nerves healed, though they did so very slowly. I could not tell that there was any improvement day by day, but if I looked back a week I could see the progress. This KZbin makes me wonder if I could rid myself of the last couple of places by doubling or quadrupling my intake, which has been 1 mb. of methyl B12 a day, sublingual. I also was easily confused and sometimes anxious for over a year, even as I seemed to have recovered, which suggests to me that it took awhile for the myelin sheath in my brain to heal.

B12 is doubtless relatively safe in big doses, however in large doses if you are otherwise already healthy it can give you difficulties focusing your attention due to excess energy. I am not sure about B12 to treat peripheral neuropathy (if it is caused by excesses of minerals or excess Vitamin B6, ALA is a better treatment to remove the excess from your system which will lead to healing). Excess B12 may feel a little similar to taking excess Iron. B12 isn't a catch all for fatigue, you need to ensure you have adequate levels of vitamin E, folic acid(Folate), magnesium and iron for that (folic acid has some similar impacts on the body to B12 so getting the right combination of the two is important, excess of either can mask deficiencies in the other). Vitamin B6 is also important in small doses, however if you are taking more than 12mg per day from all supplements you are probably overdosing (I take 6mg myself) and may be causing peripheral neuropathy (impact is gradual over time). IF you 'need' more than 150mcg B12 a day and you are not unfit chances are B12 is not your problem unless you have a medical condition that your doctor advises is best treated with B12.

It seems when I'm in a flare-up, if I inject B12 directly into my thigh instead of my belly where it has to kind of get through some fat, I think if I inject it directly into my leg it's got a better chance of reaching areas of the lower extremities. And I'd like to think that it does relieve my feet from excruciating pain but doesn't eliminate it all together and it just comes right back If I skip a day. Without it, it would get worse So if nothing else it's keeping it from being like it was last year where I was crawling on the ground because I couldn't walk. It is excruciating and it's one of my worst issues from pernicious anemia. I wish I knew how to help it because it's debilitating in its running my life. B12 is all I have and I'm all I have, because doctors know nothing about this. They go home at the end of the day and don't have to worry about it but I have to live with it every second of the day and it's extremely excruciating It's a terrible disease and doctors don't know anything about it. I feel like I have nowhere to turn but myself. Thank goodness for B12 because it's all I have and at least I'm still alive, but I'm not living that's for sure, because of neuropathy.

Awesome video… way more informative than any neurologist I’ve seen has been. … a few questions… what would be a revolutionary subject to make a video addressing would be… what damaged nerves feel like if they’re healing (regenerating). I would imagine it’s a slow process. While making all the lifestyle changes to heal, does one have pain for months or years and wake up one day and the pain is gone? Does the discomfort fade very slowly from severe to mild to hardly noticeable? Does the pain (discomfort) SEEM to get worse before it gets better? Does the healing from nerve damage literally happen in reverse (as in if it started in the toes and made it to the calves, then the healing from it feel like it started in calves and ended in the toes)? Is healing from nerve damage as individualized as the suffering from it is? Hope you all consider this for a video subject. I can’t find anything on the internet; only material explaining the progression of the disease. Thank you very much.

Wondering about too much of something and would appreciate your thoughts. As a diabetic I've experienced diabetic neuropathy for the past 5 years with numbness to mid calf. Most recently I'm expiencing significant difficulties in walking and am pretty much constantly tired. Past month I've been using benfotiamine without any benefits, but noticed on a couple of occasions that my condition worsens if I eat more than 6 slices of bread in the day. Does the bread react in any way such as interference with vitamins B?

[@NerveDoctors]

Hi Michael. Yes, the bread (and all complex carbohydrates known as starches) will cause your glucose levels to shoot up. It will be extremely difficult for the Benfotiamine to stay ahead of the game. You need to adopt a ketogenic diet with intermittnet fasting. This is key. You will also need more than just benfotiamine. You will need ALL of the vital nutrients for nerve repair. I'm including 2 links to my video that you definitely need to watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYHVpqRqbpKeqbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnywgYCGf7JngLs Also, watch these 2 videos on reversing diabetic peripheral neuropathy: Part1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaSQiH16aLyCoNU Part2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp-yeqmOjJ6Er9k This will put you on the right track.

[@privateprivate8366]

I started taking 1,000 mcg of B12 about 4 mo ago. I’m a T2D and I’ve long had the pins, needles and even mean foot itch, that is likely associated with neuropathy. But, it has greatly decreased in frequency and intensity, since then. As B12 also helps to make red blood cells and I was told to start taking iron tablets, I’ve been also taking Blood Builder. No doctor has told me before that I was anemic and that I might be B12 deficient, but after years of taking Metformin and losing a lot of hair, suddenly, hair is growing. Don’t know how much will eventually grow but, particularly as a woman, it is good to finally have the possible keys to regrowing my hair, after playing around with all of those hair regrowth products, that really can’t help me, if I don’t have the basics to grow hair, in the first place. Wish any of my doctors knew the Metformin/B12 correlation, for the past 30+ years!

It seems as if it’s in stasis, where it’s not falling out, but not growing. I have a whole bag of vitamins, but I stopped taking the others, because I decided I wanted to see the effects of each, one by one. In addition, I’m going to get to a Quest, over the next few days, to be tested for B12, iron and Ferritin.

But, as I’d reached the 6 mo mark of taking these vitamins religiously, ordered blood tests from Quest. So, apparently, even though I take B12, I am over the top on that. Could be because Blood Builder also has B12 or maybe I wasn’t deficient, in the first place. However, I am still somewhat deficient in iron and ferritin. So, I’ve almost stopped taking B12 separately and doubled my dose of iron, to boost my iron and ferritin levels to norm. I’ll go back in about 3 months for TIBC, iron, ferritin, now that I have a basic marker and to see whether I’m going in the right direction , as I know too much iron isn’t good either.

@@GuitarManUa I just watched it. I will have to look into this. I had my levels tested last October. But am planning to have them tested again, before the end of the month. When last tested, my iron and ferritin had risen, but ferritin particularly, was still quite low. I added more iron. But there’s been no further change in hair thickness. It’s as if it simply went from bald on the top right, to thin and that’s what it’s remained as. But, of course, I’m not simply getting my levels checked, to see if they’re going up further. But, to ensure I’m not overdoing it, as that would also be bad. I was, however, above normal on B12. So, I’ve virtually stopped taking that. There’s probably enough B12, in the Blood Builder. I’ve started taking Biotin, as well. When Morley talks about 1st grade, these doctors don’t even seem like Pre-K. I am not a doctor. But I’d think that, in doctors looking at blood tests over the years, anemia would be one of the first things spotted. But it never was. Took a nurse picking it up last year and, from then on, I’ve simply gotten blood tests, for multiple things I’ve been curious about, without my doctor being involved.

Fasting can help with many nerve issues. Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin.. Fasting increases nitric oxide release. Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness. The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting. Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention! Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.
