How I improved my memory.

[Guest guest]

I have been able to improve my memory:

 

I take daily injections of B-12 Methylcobalamin. This is without

preservatives and should be used up within 30 days. 0.25 cc/day is

recommended but I take .60 cc/day because I always have to throw the bottle

away after 30 days.

You need a prescription for 1cc syringes and alcohol swabs for the

injection. Insist on only Methylobalamin--not the cheap substitute. I get

mine from an alternative medicine doctor.

 

B-12 tablets and not well absorbed by the body. I consider B-12 tablets to

be useless.

 

In addition I eat blueberries every day.

 

Of course Omega-3 fish oil helps also.

 

I have been on this for 2 years and it really helps

I have definitely had benefits from other types of methylcobalamin. You can get

it sublingual and also in drops in distilled water (from Metabolics). But it

depends if you stopped producing 'B12 intrinsic factor' in your stomach when you

became very deficient and before you started supplementing. According to Adelle

Davis conventional wisom (at the time, anyway, the '60's) was that you couldn't

start off intrinsic factor again once it had stopped being produced. But she

managed it with many patients - feeding them lots of liver, yeast and wheat

germ. This stimulates the stomach acid (HCl) as well as Intrinsic factor. Both

are essential for the absorbtion of B12 in either food or supplements, through

the stomach wall. Sublingual supplements get around this problem by being

absorbed directly into the bloodstream under the tongue. Once I bought what I

thought was methylcobalamin but on closer examination it only had a little of

that type, and many other types of cobalamin. You have to be careful of

marketing practices like these. But I know all these things have worked for me

because they used to instantly stop the twitching in my legs at night and my

over-hot feeling. Some were better than others. There was an autism site where

everyone was raving about a B12 nasal spray. Can't find the page I was looking

at all those years ago but here's a link which tells you about it, anyway.

www.autism.com/ari/editorials/ed_b12.htm

 

Interestingly, I read there: " Blood B12 levels are high-normal in almost all

children documented to be responders. Though there may be a high level in the

blood, it is in an oxidized form that cannot be reduced and recycled. " Perhaps

it was the same situation for me, because the doctor told me there was no

indication of shortage of B12

in myself.

 

Alcohol and smoking use up B12. I think this role of B12 - that of

detoxification - is why people are often short of B12 in this society. There are

so many toxins about, you are almost bound to be short of it, especially if

vegetarian. People don't realise this when they embark on a vegetarian lifestyle

- you can't easily be natural in an unnatural environment. Add to that the fact

that it is water-soluble, sensitive to cooking and light, and destroyed by oral

contraceptives, sleeping pills, stress, and excess bacteria or parasites in the

digestive tract, and that a sluggish liver can be a cause of depletion....and

you can see why some studies suggested (in the '90's, in the US) that half of

people over 60 suffered from B12 deficiency, which 'mimics' alzheimer's.

 

Finally, on the topic of improving memory - there have been a couple of news

items recently which every newspaper in Britain has covered - one of them

highlighting that turmeric dissolves away the plaque in the brains of alzheimer

sufferers (backed up by the fact that East Asians, who eat a lot of curries,

rarely suffer from this complaint), and the other highlighting that caffeine

prevents alzheimer's.
