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 …
  •  A grandfather transforms, in less than a year, from a healthy jogger to a depressed, confused man diagnosed with senile dementia.

Here’s what these patients don’t have in common: a correct diagnosis. Instead they have a plethora of incorrect, often hopeless diagnoses: developmental disability, autism, multiple sclerosis, psychosis, senile dementia, transient ischemic attacks, depression or diabetic neuropathy. But, in reality, they all suffer from the same medical condition …

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.

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.
