That is because the B12 in the food can't be absorbed by someone who malabsorbs. If they malabsorb only because of too little stomach acid, B12 in fortified foods can get through. But if they lack intrinsic factor, they need a much larger dose for any to get through.

Have you considered citing the source of the text on your site?

For sure.

I don't think I need to quote Wiki and the others for the history... think?
.

I would, if for no other reason than so people would know that it came from someone else's work or site.

I think it is important, even when one has permission to quote a large quantity of information, not to give the impression that the webpage owner has written something when that is not the case.

Some of Wikipedia's rules on use of their information:

I guess you missed my post.
http://www.health-boundaries-bite.co...-Excerpts.html

In terms of my history and symptoms page: Na, the history stuff is basically history.

I think it's okay.

No, I don't think I missed a post.

I'm a little confused though. It is apparent that you did not write much that is on your site that I do not see citations for.

Maybe "Dr. Poo" gave you permission, or maybe you both obtained your information with permission from some other site. But if that is the case I would have thought there would be a citation.

There is paragraph after paragraph of word-for-word text on your site that is the same as other web pages, and this is an example:

C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\Plagiarism\ASK DR_ POO's Message Board.mht

Rose, you know at Cleveland clinic the doc told me to stop my fish oil supplments because I'm not over 40 with heart problems and my b12 cause it is so high my levels. Like I said though my b12 went down from 2000 to 1500 after I started taking b12.So I think my blood work is super weird. I'm still taking it cause my other neuro said no harm. I just thought it was interesting and I thought of you.

Daniella,

So sad. Prevention of problems is discouraged. Of course, if you develop those problems then there are plenty of pharmaceuticals to take.

Regarding your B12 tests, I think I remember something about them. Wasn't the 2000 result after your getting B12 somehow but not stopping for a few days before the test? And wasn't the 1500 after having stopped a few days?

Forgive me if I am wrong.

Rose - I like your B-12 site and have it in my 'Favorites' for quick reference. Good job.

Dear Dan,

Thanks. It's bare bones, but non-commercial and growing slowly.

Yesterday, I was thrilled to learn it has been linked from Holland!
