I’m no Doctor and while I have an Engineering Undergraduate Degree, I’m not much of a Scientist either.

I appreciate Science, but my point is that I am not coming at this post today with an air of anything but experience.

If you’ve read the www.healthmattersblog.com posts for any length of time, you know that I suffered from mercury poisoning and while I am still undergoing some chelation to rid my body of the silvery stuff, I’m doing what I would consider exceedingly well these days.  Working as a Realtor, getting ready for a full gardening season, raising my boys, serving my Church and generally enjoying life.

So, as a practical matter, B-12 is important stuff.  As a molecular structure, from what I understand, it is the largest that needs to be absorbed through the intestine wall to get into and be used by your system.  Unless of course, you are taking oral B-12, the effectiveness of which I am not knowledgeable about.

If you have a compromised gut or issues with malabsorption, you can imagine that this process might be impaired somewhat and you could end up low in B-12.

I remember talking to someone that told me an experience he knew about where someone was in a wheel chair and would never walk again, simply due to a B-12 deficiency.  What a shame!  Probably none of the Doctors she saw had any clue about it either.

The lining of the intestine actually needs to “break” a little to get the enormous B-12 molecule through to the other (or useful) side.

Needless to say, I had to take shots for B-12 and it made a huge difference for me.
