--through Mrs. D and Rose, who post at various boards.
Rose is in the process of building a massive B12 website, with exhaustive citations. It's a work in progress, but can be reached at: http://roseannster.googlepages.com/home There are also a lot of links through the Vitamins/Mineral/Supplements forum here: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=49 |

Chemo induced neuropathies should try l-carnitine or acetyl-l-carnitine.
B12 does not work alone... you need fish oil, folic acid and B6 to help with nerve healing from damage due to drugs/radiation/chemo. There is an RX vitamin called Metanx which has all 3 in it. You would have to provide your own fish oil. www.metanx.com

Thanks so much for the chemo induced PN info.
I learn so much from you! I take the Source Naturals Advanced B12 Complex it has: Advanced B-12 Complex™ combines the two active, coenzymated forms of vitamin B-12 - methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin (dibencozide) - with folic acid. Vitamin B-12 is required for normal growth, cell reproduction, myelin and nucleoprotein synthesis, and the formation of red blood cells. Coenzyme supplementation bypasses the body's need to synthesize the active forms of vitamin B-12 from cyanocobalamin.* That takes care of the horrible pain (from surgery) that goes from my outer knee to hip (like thousands of stabbing hot needles). (I do a separate B-complex and fish oil. I still get the burning feet from chemo even after a couple of years. I will definitely try the l-carnitine. In fact it has been bothering me worse the past few days (it's not usually constant). THANK YOU!!!!!! (Also, my sincere thanks & prayers for everyone who adds information on this board-whether a question or responses! I rarely post, but I read often.) Kat (followed since the old MGH boards) |
