Our poster boy Jasper has been showing the signs of his advancing years. He was a rescue so we can't be sure how exactly how old he is, but he's at least fifteen. His eyesight and hearing have been deteriorating for a while so we clap to get his attention. People...
B12 the Antidote – joining up the dots
We may be exposed to poisonous gases and chemical toxins to different degrees at some point in our lives, whether it be from air pollution, exhaust fumes, pesticides, cleaning products or from faulty or poorly fitted appliances within our homes or workplaces....
UK B12 deficient patients, paltry 3 monthly maintenance dose of B12 injections is based on cash not care!
The question you will be asking of your GP after reading this is 'show me the proof that 3 monthly injections are all I need'. The biggest problem B12 deficient patients face once they've achieved a diagnosis is desperate under treatment. Our maintenance dose is...
Many B12 deficient patients would prefer ‘a dogs life’ when it comes to treatment
Vets have a greater knowledge of B12 deficiency than the average GP. Jasper wouldn’t be misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia, CFS, MS, or bipolar (etc), in place of B12 deficiency. He would not be given antidepressants for B12 deficiency induced depression. He wouldn’t be...

Dennis Skinner MP for Bolsover has signed the B12 OTC petition!! Will your MP do the same?
Just in case you don't receive the update for the petition, see below; After a call out to B12 deficient patients to sign and share this petition...
Dumb and dumber with NHS money to burn.
As usual, I want to say that I acknowledge there are some clinicians who treat B12 patients correctly, this sorry tale below only refers to those who don’t. See below another shocker of a letter sent to a B12 deficient patient whose doctor is perhaps hard of hearing...
An obvious history of neglect – please help us to buy injectible B12 OTC, many doctors cannot or will not help us!
‘Somataform autonomic dysfunction in the form of neurosis’ or longstanding B12 deficiency? Below you will see this patient's medical history is clearly affected by B12 deficiency and yet over 30 years on, still NO ONE will listen and treat her accordingly. You will...
East Lancashire NHS Trust – you win the trophy hands down, for dangerously low, lower reference level for serum B12 test, 110 – 914ng/L!
Just take a look at these results, which are being ignored by the GP (see previous post) and then have a gasp at that lower reference range, are you still standing? NO?.... neither is the patient. They remain exhausted with regular blackouts. What are you doing to...
