It is now apparent that you know what you are doing; I hope that my words of caution did not offend you. I am worried about less experienced people acting on advice, either given on these forums or from ignorant doctors, without first carefully checking the evidence.

If you have not already done so, I suggest that you visit the excellent web site of Rose. This is a direct link: http://roseannster.googlepages.com/home

Paul, not at all.

It is important even when we think we know what we are doing to be cautious and continue to investigate, research and learn.

I just learned a few momments ago that supplementing with B12 in mega doses can cause Potassium depletion. I do not have any more information than that at the momment, and found this from reading something the author of "Could it be B12" said. I am trying to find more information on this at the momment.

However, this is interesting as for the past few days, I had been experiencing constant excessive tightening in my calf muscles that prevented me from being able to pull my foot up all the way, and was quite painful when I would try. Attempting to stretch the calf did not work either.

I didn't take my methyl-B12 supplements for 24 hours, and during that time, the tightening/spams lessened. A few hours after the 24 hours were up, it was gone.

Interestingly, after almost 6 months of absolutely no arrrhythmia, I started having some isolated palpitations in the last couple of weeks. Potassium deficiency can result in both, the heart being much more sensitive to potassium levels.

Funny, I noticed I've been eyeing the bananas on the counter more than usual recently.
