Default Thanks heaps....
I've reposted this on marrow forums. Too many times I hear hematologist dismiss B12 deficiencies as a possible cause because the B12 serum came back OK.

This was an eye opener regarding B12 and pregnancy. You have to wonder how many blood disorders that show up after giving birth can be attributed to folate masking a B12 deficiency.

I'm wondering about the blurb regarding Folic Acid (about 14:00) when B12 is low & how too much of it can exacerbate neurological symptoms. I thought that Folate was imperative to helping with PN.

Most of the people who come here with low B12, have elevated folic acid in testing.

This is also because of the methyl "trap"... the video says it is because of fortification, but it used to occur before that I believe.

The methylation of folate cannot go the other way, so the methyl group is trapped attached to it, and remains.

I will watch the video today. I certainly learned what low B12 levels can do and that most reg. doctors have no clue. Very sad for many people and the older folks that could do so much better if levels were checked.

Thankfully, good doctors are out there!
