I found an interesting website regarding vitamin supplements. I'm attaching the fact sheet pertaining to B6 upper level.

More on B6 and its active form P5P:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread30724.html

I have spent many hours gathering information about this vitamin over the years.

And "upper limits" can be very different for some people.

We have had some posters on PN forum here claim to have neuropathy symptoms from low doses of 25-50mg per day.

Dear Mark,

Thank you for sending me a message yesterday.

I should be replying to your inbox but not to sure how to navigate my way around neurotalk.

I just found this website yesterday which is pretty amazing because I have been looking for a place like this for more than 2 years.

I have read several of your posts and admire and appreciate your strength and your desire to help others.

More later after I find my way around here.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Tralee

What is the general consensus on vitmains that are essential to us PCS people? I've never taken anything since my injury.

I eat salmon and cod weekly and I've read this should be sufficient for the average person's omega 3 intake. But given PCS, should I be having more?

And what about Vitamin B because to me that seems more difficult to ingest through diet?

Dr. Blaylock MD is a retired neurosurgeon. Early in his practice he used nutrients for some of his brain injured patients with success. He now has a website selling two types of nutrient mixtures.

I am NOT saying YOU should buy his (but you may decide to yourself). But if you look at the ingredients of these, the list gives you an idea of what may work for you. I do think these are very complete formulas but they are expensive.

Click on the highlighted word "ingredients" and a PDF window will appear for both items and you can then view the lists.

BTW, Krill oil is getting more attention now, as a better way to get the EFAs from fish, into the body. There are studies showing it helps with prevention of stroke, and also lowers c-reactive protein, which is a marker for inflammation. Doses are much lower than for fish oil, because the EPA and DHA in it are solubilized with phospholipids and more bioavailable. So you might consider trying it, after reading more about it.

Thanks. I've skimmed his brain program PDFs and am surprised, although I shouldn't be, at how much diet impacts brain health and recovery.

Has anyone tried his brain repair formula?
