Thanks Mrs. D for the info about Hopewell. That info comes from Casewatch and is operated by the same person that operates QuackWatch, and I have absolutely no belief in anything that comes from those two sites. However, I did research Hopewell in terms of the Autism community. Many others use Hopewell successfully for MB12 shots. They are also an acceptable pharmacy on Dr. Neubrander's site and a certificate is provided for the MB12: http://www.drneubrander.com/page5.html It's not readible from my computer though. However, that's really as far as my research has gone about Hopewell. I've tried Wellness Pharmacy & College Pharmacy for MB12 shots and theirs stung like crazy which wasn't tolerable.

I had my last level of b12 check by a blood test from Spectracell Laboratories. B12 was right in reference range, but on the low border of being in it. My result was 19 and the reference range is from 15% up. That probably doesn't match the b12 serum test from Labcorp or Quest Diagnostics at all. My doctor wants me to be in the middle range of the reference range. Also some amino acid testing led to the need for more b12.

I had this same test completed over 2 years ago and interesting enough my B12 levels were the same in both. All the other nutrient levels changed over the two years. The first test 2 years ago was done before any mb12 and the 2nd test that was recently done was with mb12. So like you said it really does make me wonder.
