What Do These People Have in Common?

A 40-year old reporter loses his ability to write, falls when he attempts to walk, and becomes so confused that his wife suspects early-onset Alzheimer’s … A beautiful, normal eight-month-old baby gradually loses her speech, stops responding to her parents and eventually can’t even sit up by herself … A 20-year-old woman becomes severely depressed and attempts to kill herself …  A ballet dancer undergoes cosmetic surgery and ends up nearly unable to walk ... A 69-year-old woman develops balance problems, falls and fractures her hip … A 38-year-old woman condemned to life in a wheelchair after gastric bypass surgery … An 86-year-old man becomes delusional and kills his wife … A 54-year-old woman experiences paranoid delusions and violent outbursts, coupled with symptoms her doctor diagnoses as multiple sclerosis … A 4-year-old boy is diagnosed with autism … A 73-year-old whose doctors attribute his repeated falls to old age or possible “mini-strokes” … A young woman unable to conceive …

Fibromyalgia

This disorder isn’t very well-understood. Patients who have this problem experience severe pain in certain areas of the body, called ‘pain points.’ The pain is excruciating and unbearable for some and it is said that it is a result of the brain over-reacting to painful stimuli. Other symptoms include confusion, trouble concentrating, dizziness, depression, sleeping problems, etc. These should sounds very familiar by now. Therefore, you can see that numerous conditions present with symptoms very similar to those caused by B12 deficiency. In addition to keeping patients untreated and at risk for permanent damage to their body, doctors cause loss of extremely large amounts of money when they misdiagnose these disorders. Most of these conditions need chronic therapy by expensive drugs and sometimes even hospitalization. Misdiagnosis is thus costing us our health as well large sums of money.

Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease causes problems in normal daily activities such as buttoning up one’s shirt, walking, etc – basically impairing your coordinated movements. When B12 deficiency affects your nervous system, it can cause very similar symptoms.

Diabetic Neuropathy

Diabetes causes damage to your nerves, causes tingling and sensations of pins and needles (these are the ones most commonly seen but just about any nerve can be affected causing symptoms related to the nerve involved.  For example, if diabetes affects the nerve that supplies the muscles of your eyes, you’ll get double vision and problems in moving your eyes). Again, B12 deficiency could do that too.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Another auto-immune condition, this disease eventually rips of the myelin sheaths off of your nerves, very much like B12 deficiency does. Needless to say, it causes very similar symptoms. This disease affects many people,  usually in their 20’s and 30’s, comes all of a sudden in attacks withcompletely symptomless periods. It causes walking problems, deterioration of vision, failure to balance oneself, etc – pretty much all the same as those caused by B12 deficiency.  Interestingly, many people who have MS also have a B12 deficiency.

Crohn’s Disease (IBD)

This is an autoimmune disease in which the lining of the GIT is damaged and it results in diarrhoea, abdominal pain, blood in stools, indigestion, malabsorption, etc – all very similar to those caused by a B12 deficiency.
