The well-known geriatrician-haematologist Larry Solomon, working at Yale University in the USA, wrote 20 years ago: if I had treated only those people who actually had too low serum B12 and elevated MMA values, then I would not have treated approximately two-thirds of the people with a favourable response to B12 supplementation (note: partly via injections, partly via oral supplementation)
If low levels of B 12 remain for a long time, the condition also can lead to irreversible damage to nerve cells, which can cause the following symptoms: numbness and tingling in the hands and feet difficulty walking muscle weakness irritability memory loss dementia depression psychosis
Results are highly individual and can depend on factors such as dosage, diet, exercise frequency, age, and overall health status
Patients on lipotropic protocols are simultaneously dieting, exercising, and being weighed by a clinician every few weeks
