Date: July 01, 2009 06:47AM Can I ask why? Our bodies make vitamin B12 unless there is a certain genetic blood disorder. Re: B-12 injections

Date: July 01, 2009 08:47AM No but being Vegan we only have so much B-12 so we supplement B-12.B-12 comes from animal products www.myspace.com/greeneyedvegangirl GO VEGAN!

Date: July 01, 2009 09:23AM Dr. Graham says B12 deficiency is caused by the chemicals sprayed on the soil that kills the micro organisms. But that the far most common cause is lack of intrinsic factor. It appears that intrinsic factor goes down as dietary fat goes up. Re: B-12 injections

That's very interesting, as I have, coincidentally, noticed this myself but didn't make the connection to high fat! jan, The best way to take B12 is as injections in a clinical setting. Not a big fan of conventional medicine, me, but syringes can be very efficient means. Re: B-12 injections

You can do B-12 injections at home and the body receives B-12 easier through injections. We all should be taking B-12 anyway. I just thought it would be received more readily through injections. I remember as a kid our Dr gave them to us on occasion and I remember feeling so energetic from it. Does no one here use B-12? I don't take other supplement but I thought we were suppose to be doing the B-12.... www.myspace.com/greeneyedvegangirl GO VEGAN!

As far as injections, I would test yourself first. In fact, why don't you just get properly tested and be done with it. Re: B-12 injections

Date: July 01, 2009 05:27PM I take b-12 injections once a month I used to get anemia from such heavy blood loss from my monthly cycle I still get boarderline anemic. I asked my dr. several months back and told him I was not squemish with giving myself shots. I take 2ml once a month after my cycle it does seem to help but I hope someday it will not be a brob. and I can stop.Suz Re: B-12 injections

Date: July 02, 2009 08:03AM I'm raw vegan, and don't take B12.
Without arguing it here, I'll simply say that I'm not sure there's any 'should' about it. It's a hotly-debated subject and there are some compelling views for saying we should, but some equally compelling views for saying we don't need to. Re: B-12 injections

Im guessing it's a matter of opinion. I guess I'll keep researching what the "experts" say.... www.myspace.com/greeneyedvegangirl GO VEGAN!

I would never bother again, eat your fruit.. dont worry about b12.. if your a person that "likes" to take pills, use a sublingual once a month Re: B-12 injections

Date: July 02, 2009 11:43PM i was going to suggest sublingual myself.
i believe it will be absorbed quite well that way. Re: B-12 injections

Date: July 03, 2009 02:48AM 1.) Get tested first to see if you NEED B-12.
2.) The body can store reserves of B-12 for up to 5 years, so don't worry about deficiency unless you have other health factors at play. 3.) B-12 used to be in our soil, right? Well, that's because it is naturally occuring in @#$%&...and other excretions. (Looking for the data on this) I've read B-12 is 10-12 times more prevelent in ejeculatory and vaginal secretions than it is in blood plasma. I tell people that being in love gives me all the B-12 I need  Maybe that will work for you, too? Re: B-12 injections

Take it orally. Re: B-12 injections

Date: July 15, 2009 07:49PM Injections are not stupid, they're sensible--they bypass digestion. As for non-injected forms, some do well with sublingual supplements and others with oral. It's a matter of what works for you. Re: B-12 injections

Date: July 16, 2009 12:47PM Injections are totally unnecssary. Studies have proven that sub-lingual tablets are just as effective. Injections are offered because of medical bias. Re: B-12 injections

Without trying to sound patronising I think it may be a bit of a fad for some people... Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
