Thank you. I have the book. Hadn’t seen the video. This was well done. Some very convincing people.
Vitamin B12 seems to help the body make the correct use of amino acids, so that they will not be burned unnecessarily but used instead for constructive purposes. In cancer, it is one of the essential processes to restore the conditions under which foodstuffs can be used in the correct manner. In the last seven to ten years we treated a great number of patients, mostly difficult or terminal cases, with relatively favorable results.
Vitamin B12 was discovered about eight years ago by Dr. Tom Spies in Birmingham, Alabama during the course of his work on undernourishment. He found that the vitamin works especially against different types of anemia to the extent that they are caused by malnutrition. Even degenerative changes on the spinal cord can be brought back to near normal with greater doses of B12. The nucleus of the vitamin is a cobalt substance, which is present in most fruits and vegetables in minimal amounts. The daily requirement is unknown. It is assumed that B12 helps to combine aminoacids to build protein substances. A sick body and especially a cancer-bearing body is unable to combine aminoacids to build proteins properly, but burns them to form the end products instead. Animal experiments show that vitamin B12 is very potent in the restoration of all different tissues, be they damaged by age, chronic illness, operations, degenerative diseases, intoxications or by other means. This may be the reason why we find it part of all different vitamin combinations on the market today.
The underlying pathogenesis leading to high Cbl levels is poorly elucidated, with a few exceptions (6,10,11). It is not thought to involve increased Cbl intake because intestinal absorption capacity is saturable (31) and high physiological consumption does not increase plasma Cbl levels substantially. Only Cbl therapy in the form of injections or extremely high oral doses can produce high circulating levels, and in this study, patients treated with Cbl were excluded. We therefore conclude that the mechanisms resulting in high Cbl levels may be related to malignant pathogenesis. Our recent study showed that levels of the circulating Cbl binding protein haptocorrin were high in patients with high plasma Cbl levels (3). Moreover, cancer was associated with high Cbl and high haptocorrin levels. This protein originates from a variety of tissues, but its physiological function remains unknown (32). It is elevated in patients with some cancer types (6,10,11) and has been suggested as a marker for disease progression (6,10). Thus, haptocorrin may be a candidate factor to include in future studies of the possible pathogenic mechanisms leading to high Cbl levels in cancer patients, in particular for the novel associations demonstrated in this study.

Regarding concerns with cancer, I think Gerson used to inject patients with 100 mcg daily of B12 + what liver juices and extracts were already providing.
Not that this exempts it from judgement, but it's difficult to think that it can make cancers worse.
Elevated Plasma Vitamin B12 Levels as a Marker for Cancer: A Population-Based Cohort Study
The trials that I read so far leading to suspicious outcomes used cyanocobalamin, the body has to clear cyanid to make cobalamin useful. Perhaps this explains the toxic effect?
Raj commented somewhere about its importance for carbohydrate metabolism. There are various publications on this if you search..Good finds. I personally like hydroxycobalamin due to its safety and known effects on lowering NO. But it is very hard to find in bulk. I think liver extract would contain enough B12, unless it has been stripped as part of the manufacturing process.
I did a lot of B12 shots - like 3 years straight. I think that they hurt my liver possibly because I was injecting the Cyan kind. Also you really have to trust the source because it is all made of bacteria basically. I now use B12 spray and sublingual. They way you can tell if you are low is... it your top lip plump ? if not you are probs low. I read that a long time ago, and it really is true. When you take b12, feel your upper lip. It gets plumper.I too would like other people's opinion on injections versus sublinguals. I went on forums specifically discussing B12 before I started injections and most were in agreement that sublingual supplementation was very effective.
I did injections and started getting gallbladder attacks. I wasn't sure if it was due to the B12 stimulating my liver or if it was a reaction to the excipients in it like the parabens so I decided to look into sublingual supplementation instead. I found what seems to be a pure B12(Methylcobalamin) sublingual with water as it's only excipient.

Poppyseed, have you seen this one? I know you mentioned the Solgar's methyl.
I like this one lately https://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-B12-...d=1532714576&sr=8-8&keywords=b12+spray+methylI did a lot of B12 shots - like 3 years straight.

My doctor ( the good one ) told me that high numbers of B12 in a blood test is not always a good thing= he said it may not be being utilized / metabolized and needs cofactors.My b12 blood test is about 1600 whit no suplemention and if i take methyl b12 i fell very bad and tired
