When
talking about medical problems or symptoms, doctors
commonly use the adjectives "borderline," "mild,"
"moderate" or "severe" to describe the extent of the
condition or the level of pain you might be feeling.
-
Mild low back pain
- Severe nausea and vomiting
- Moderate wheezing and congestion
- Borderline high blood pressure
Now,
it makes sense that if a doc is talking about something wrong with YOU,
most people would rather hear they have a "mild" or
"borderline" version of some condition than a "severe"
one. After all, it seems like the problem is less serious and a lower
overall risk to your health.
That
may be true of many health issues...
But
not of a vitamin B12 deficiency.
Because
even a "borderline" deficiency can spell trouble.
Here's
why:
Borderline deficiency
doesn't mean "borderline" problems
Here
is some of the wide variety of vague symptoms of a mere borderline B12
deficiency:
1. Shortness of breath, even
when walking just a short distance.
2. Itching, tingling, stinging
or pain on your tongue.
3. Sudden sharp stabbing,
tingling pain in the palm of one or both hands.
4. Raw sores at the corners of
your mouth which can extend down the side of your lip.
5. Sensation of a nerve shock
on the side of your body. It can occur near your hips or along the ribs.
6. White spots on your skin as
a result of a lack of melatonin in the area. The most common area for these
to occur is on the forearm, but they may appear in other places too.
7. Eye twitching.
8. Facial pain, typically on
one side of your face at a time. The pain can range from dull to sharp and
occur anywhere, including your cheekbone, forehead, edge of your nose and
under an eye.
9. Tingling along the back of
one or both thighs, starting at your hips and shooting down. This can
eventually develop into actual pain.
10. Memory loss and/or
disorientation.
11. Migraine headaches,
including a "flash" or temporary blind spot just before the
headache occurs.
12. Overall feeling of fatigue.
I
don't know about you, but those don't seem like innocent little symptoms to
me, especially if they continue to get worse.
B12 deficiency is sneaky
Now
what makes this tricky is that a borderline B12 deficiency is sneaky and
commonly overlooked, or not named a "suspect" in your state of
ill health.
You
see, borderline B12 deficiency can sometimes cause symptoms so severe that
it might not be suspected as a possible cause because it would seem like
such extreme symptoms wouldn't be caused by just a "borderline"
deficiency.
And
the symptoms it causes can also be symptoms of many other conditions, so
trying to pinpoint the cause can be like finding a needle in a haystack.
B12 deficiency commonly goes undiagnosed until your symptoms become SEVERE.
This
isn't necessarily your doctor's fault -- your symptoms might come on so
gradually that you become used to them and not mention them until they get
really bad....and your deficiency is severe.
What to do?
If
you have any of the symptoms I mentioned above, first and foremost, talk to
your doctor. Since those symptoms can indicate many different health
problems, it's important to rule out whatever else may be causing them.
If
no other cause is determined, then it's time to talk to your doc about
checking your vitamin levels. Now keep in mind, even if your B12 value
comes back borderline or even on the low side of normal, in many cases that
can be enough to cause symptoms.
If
your doc won't do a test to assess your vitamin levels, find one that will.
How to say goodbye to B12
deficiency
The
great news is it's as easy as pie to help end a vitamin B12 deficiency and
the symptoms that go along with it.
In
addition to making sure your diet is healthy and includes lean meat and
poultry (preferably organic), supplementation is key.
And
if you're a vegetarian and not getting ANY B12 from animal foods,
supplementation is essential!
Know thy supplements
Once you decide supplementation is right for you, the biggest issue is to
know the good from the not-so-good.
Here
are the traditional options for B12 supplementation and where they rank:
1) Vitamin B12 pills or
capsules
These
are very affordable and convenient. However, actual absorption of the B12
once that pill hits your digestive tract is another story.
Studies
show that B12 absorption through the digestive path can measure less than
1/2 of 1%.
Compare that to the typical vitamin C absorption of 70-95%, you can see how
abysmal B12 absorption from pills is.
Verdict: Don't waste your money.
2) Vitamin B12 injections
These
are EXTREMELY effective because the B12 is being injected right into your
system and doesn't run the risk of being ambushed by your digestive tract.
Verdict: Great, but they also happen to be very
inconvenient, painful and expensive, and require multiple trips to the
doctor.
3) Vitamin B12 spray
The
newest option for vitamin B12 supplementation is a liquid that you spritz
under your tongue.
With
a sublingual spray, B12 is immediately absorbed into your bloodstream
through the mucus membranes in your mouth. From there it quickly gets
transported to your cells, brain and everywhere that it's needed.
And
that means you can start feeling the difference FAST!
Hydroxaden
2.5 is your ticket to super-effective, convenient sublingual B12
supplementation.
5
quick sprays of Hydroxaden
2.5 under your tongue each day gives you the 2.5 mg. of B12 recommended
by many experts, and it contains two of the highest quality forms of B12 (hydroxocobalamin and
adenosylcobalamin).
Verdict: Super effective, quality product,
convenient and at a great price.
It just might be YOU
If
you've been suffering from any of the above symptoms and haven't been able
to get relief from prescription drugs or other typical measures, Vitamin
B12 could be the answer you've been looking for.
Current
estimates show that as many as 1 out of 4 people can be deficient in B12!
This
is especially true of people over 50 and people who have taken acid
reducing medications.
Vitamin
B12 supplementation just might make all the difference in the world for you.

PPS: Guy sees a difference
in his vision and his stomach!
Hi Sherry,
I was experiencing severe gas
issues for several days which prompted me to order the "Great Taste No
Pain" program. The annoying gas stopped within a day of properly
mixing the food I was eating.
My wife and I are learning how
to eat properly for better health and your book is what we are using to
achieve that endeavor.
I am also using the Hydroxaden
B12 spray, which improved the clarity of my vision within minutes of first
usage. I didn't expect that!
Today, I just received the
Super Shield probiotic formula. I was impressed by the care taken to have
this bottle delivered in pristine form. I'm looking forward to using this
product to help me with my diverticulosis.
Thank you!
Guy
