Well, I can't stop taking it. I need it for my neuropathy. I have no more pins, needles, even the burning is letting up so I don't even notice it any more.

So I either have to be worried about 20 years from now (croaking for God knows what reason), or I stop taking it now, drop dead from exhaustion and I have neuropathic pain.

It's an easy choice. I'm not giving it up.

I can't wait for Rose to jump on board and give us her wisdom. If anyone can put our minds at ease, it's Rose.

Mark's concerns illustrate how the internet can confuse people.

For example... ANY nutrient taken with cancer has a POTENTIAL, not a guarantee to increase cell division. After all, nutrients improve cell functions, and they will improve cancerous ones too. Good oncologists know how to guide patients in this area.

Leber's optic neuropathy on manifests with cyano form B12, and I found papers on PubMed years ago confirming this. It is a toxicity to the cyanide portion of the synthetic molecule. Methyl has no cyanide.

I don't know where they got insomnia....that is a red herring, probably from some other website. Notice that no citations are given on AccuCell...that is a clue to be careful. Good sites give the citations to papers so you can read them yourself if you need to.

Compare to this site for information:
at http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocente...B12/index.html

This site keeps up with the research and provides excellent data that is documented.

So Mark brings up a good point, and it is really important to understand the validity and explanations for things you may find on the net. The brief listing on AccuCell is one thing to watch out for.

Thank you my dear Mrs. Doubtfire:

Now I can go and act like Jack La Lanne again!!!

That man lives on supplements.

In addition to what MrsD posted, the blurb Mark referred to is very poorly written. It makes no distinction between deficiency and "too much." It starts out with deficiency, throws in a side effect that apparently is rare and limited to the cyanocobalamin form, and then goes into problems due to deficiency again. Not a good source of information.

Regarding whether or not B12 makes a difference, it certainly is not a cure-all, does not help everyone.

However, newer people to this forum need to remember that many people benefit hugely over the long run, without having experiencing such a dramatic change. Melody's experience is uncommon but wonderful.

I am so grateful to the makers of Methyl B-12 (and to Rose and everybody else for all their info), that I can't begin to tell you.

The difference in my feet is astronomical.

And get this, years ago, way before I had the diabetic neuropathy, I was sitting around the corner talking to a neighbor who happened to work for my doctor at the time.

We were talking about diabetes. She knew I was diabetic and trying to control my sugar. This conversation took place about 7 years ago.

She said "you do know that when you get neuropathy, there is no cure, it is progressive, you can't stop it, it just gets worse, you do know that don't you" We had been talking about Alan's neuropathy and I happened to mention that he was not a diabetic. She said "oh, that's different, he still has a shot, but if you're diabetic, and you get neuropathy, well, that's it, then, it gets progressivly worse'.

OH REALLY!!!!!! Too bad she moved away.
