Hi, you had a doctor tell you that you should cut back on B-12 because there is no benefit? I can tell you that there is indeed a benefit.

I take 5000 every single morning sublingually. I take Methyl B-12. I was diagnosed with neuropathy 7 years ago. That was when I began taking the Methyl B-12. BEST THING I EVER DID. I have no neuropathy symptoms since doing this.

I also do not eat any processed foods. I watch my diabetes like a hawk and I take care of myself. I grow my own sprouts and microgreens in my living room and it's the best thing I have ever done. My B-12 number is 1600. That was last month.

My doctor (thank god) knows all about what I do and what I take. He's all for it.

And are you taking B-6? That can cause or make neuropathy worse.

thanks for all the information it is really making me second guess my doctor I am just in a fog how it can stay in my body and not help me any.I also do not take any other vitamins per my doctor to be truthful I am a little scared on what to eat or not to eat.I do not eat red meat but eat chicken, turkey and fish but I miss my vegetables and salads.

I cannot imagine a doctor today telling people to not eat veggies and salads... this sounds basically "crazy".

B12 is stored for a "rainy day" in the liver. Some retinol Vit A is also stored. But veggies provide A in betacarotene form which is not toxic in any way and is converted to Vit A as needed by the liver. Almost all other vitamins are excreted when in excess. In fact some B12 is also excreted daily in the bile.

I would demand your doctor give you details, and information you could independently look up yourself.

It is prudent to avoid iron if you don't need it. That is the only thing--and it is a mineral not a vitamin-- to watch out for.

It might be time to find another doctor...think about that.

Here is a website that tells what is in your food:
