I don't see toxic PN showing up on MRIs.... only spinal compressions. What kind of MRIs are these people getting?

And no mention of autoimmune at all?
Yeah, it's a pretty simplistic, oversimplified article. The ignorance is everywhere from the doctors to the reporters.

P.S. How much does a B12 test cost!?
