Topic: Vitamin Supplements/Dosage...

Hi all,

My daughters Neurologist decided to check her vitamin levels last week, and I just got the results. She is low in almost everything- Especially concerning is B12 (170), B6 (3), D (5), and all the rest tested are in the low range too...

What is the best way I can get her levels up? what dosages will she need to absorb these vitamins? Should I follow the Burrascano protocol recommendations? Do all of these vitamins come in IV? She cannot take anything by mouth due to stomach paralysis.

She see's a top ILADs LLMD, but this is "not his thing"... he is strictly allopathic, long term abx/probiotics. I could really use some help.

Thank you!

Hi JKM,

I am so sorry to hear that your daughter is not doing so well.

You might want to see a doctor that specializes in nutrition since she is in an unusual situation with the stomach paralysis.

Maybe your neuroligist can recommend a really good one.

Good luck and keep us posted. [Smile]

It occurs to me that she might benefit from sublingual vitamin-B drops; you put them in your mouth under the tongue and let them sit for a time, then swallow.

This thread posted twice. The other link is:

--------------------

Some vitamins can be absorbed under the tongue. I have a sublingual B-12 and D3, too. B-12 can also be in shots just fine. Dr. B suggests a special kind. I'll post his list next.

Are you near Stamford, CT?

I have the name of an excellent ND there. She would have these answers or could make a referral.

I saw her when she lived in my city over a dozen years ago.

I will send you a PM.

A special kind of B-12 is suggested here:
