  • Vitamin B12 is vital to sustain life and functions as an essential co-factor in the synthesis of DNA and RNA, neurotransmitters, the myelin coating of nerves and the maturation of blood cells in the marrow. Since the body does not manufacture Vitamin B12, sufficient amounts must be consumed either from the diet or as supplements. Strict vegans are regularly deficient in Vitamin B12.
    Under normal circumstances a traditional diet appears satisfactory to maintain adequate levels of Vitamin B12. Due to the complicated nature of Vitamin B12 liberation from food and absorption from the intestine, a variety of issues may negatively impact on cobalamin’s blood concentration.
    Acid must be present to free Vitamin B12 from food. Prolonged use of antacids and proton pump inhibitors including Prilosec or omeprazole, Prevacid and AcipHex interfere with the process. H. pylori, a frequent bacteria found in the stomach, reduces acid levels and leads to Vitamin B12 malabsorption. Metformin, a commonly prescribed diabetes medication, also reduces Vitamin B12 levels. Previous stomach or intestinal surgery may also impair absorption.
    Symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency are often subtle and evade easy diagnosis. Non-specific complaints may include fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, memory loss and mood changes. Anemia and numbness or tingling of the extremities represent more advanced issues. When the possibility of inadequate levels exists, blood tests provide useful information.

    This is an especially interesting medical science video. I eat exclusively plant diet and I try to take 500 mg weekly. I wonder if I should ask if my parents are getting their B12 tests or even if it is required at their age. I don't like to get unnecessary tests myself but of course I can worry about my parents. They never complain about symptoms of B12 deficiency are seem to be in very good health for their age.
    I wonder about why India supposedly has a high rate of B12 deficiency, is it due to just a blood test or due to actual clinical symptoms.
    All in all I don't worry too much about B12 deficiency but I watch medical and diet related videos out of interest in science.

    I don’t know why you people in medical community actually think that people get nutrition from dead meat that has been killed further by cooking all the nutrition is cooked right out of it and there’s no fiber. Not to mention the fact that your digestive system and your dental is actually aligned with herbivores in fact you are a fruitarian. We are not designed are digestive or dental or anything to eat as an omnivore or carnivore and if you were true omnivore carnivore you wouldn’t be able to cook your food because then it wouldn’t be food it would be poison

  • @elnosworld9893
    @elnosworld9893 Před 2 lety +1

    See this is where there’s a discrepancy, you’re suggesting that everyone absorbs B12 however with deficient Hydrochloric acid and we are suffering with this as a society… It is virtually impossible
    Peoples dietary habits have created an onslot of health issues that are not helping to make these foods if they’re healthy by available.
    The assumption is that we absorb however this is a False assumption.
    With all the toxins that people are consuming all the chemicals which your man-made and man created are interfering with divine design. Not to mention the exploitation of the earth herself who cannot provide because she has not been replenished.
    We know more about our cars than we know about our first day of fall which is our body.
    There’s no mistaking that. That was designed by some very corrupt individuals who had a lot of stake in the game. And they have falsely advertised miss lead and even line for personal gain if you like the mass into believing stuff that is simply untrue that way they can create a fortune. Many of those individuals did not partake and their families do not participate in the standard American diet and the acronym for that would be sad. As for standard A for American D for diet and if you take the tea off diet it pretty much tells you exactly what the prescription is.
    There’s so many layers to this topic and topics like it, and we look up to people who have degrees and extensive teachings which were also corrupted in order to achieve certain results and even for an individual who believes himself to be a free thinker they are at the mercy of the lies they were taught and they practice. Some vehemently believe almost in a state of worship in the pharmaceutical / medical treatments
    They have been led straight to the slaughterhouse because they didn’t educate themselves and they rely on someone else to tell them the truth and only received partial truth. Such as this video because while there is some good Contin there’s also some issues with this content that is not in the highest interest of the individuals watching
    I’m sure your intentions are good however this is also misinformation
    Nearly all of the required vitamins minerals amino acids healthy fats as well as cofactors
    Are not present in the current pyramid system and it’s intentional to help feed the other systems which are corrupt and killing people
    It’s controlled by a handful of very wealthy people who know exactly what they’re doing because they’ve done the research on the psychology of the human species as well as understand the intimate workings of all of these things they also know how to tweak and manipulate each and everyone into doing their own bidding
    People need to take responsibility for themselves and accountability for their own well-being. Until they do they are in danger. Everything they’ve been taught and believe is a lie and based on that it is costing them their well-being because they Do not have the required nutrients to support optimum health
    No no no no no and did I mention no you do not eat cereals with fortifications no. Those cereals are filled with heavy metals and pesticides which completely devoid any nutrition that might have been added and if it was actually real nutrition not synthesize from a lab. So you’re getting out sad information. People are under the assumption that if they eat meat they actually get B12 well then explain to me why my daughter who is an avid meat eater is B12 deficient according to a recent emergency room visit? And what about the other lady I know who eat me at the gas station who is Dr. can’t find anything wrong with him because he keeps telling her all her tested normal but he didn’t tell her what test he took and he’s never done a micro nutrient insufficiency test because he doesn’t care and he’s like you under false assumption that it’s been provided in your food by fortification. I don’t know what people pay you people for or why you even still exist but you’re nothing more than a Roth child practitioner who has made medicine from poison known as petroleum and he put all of you up to it he started laying the foundation he paid for all the institutions medical schools and convince people in the pharmacy industry to design medicines around his poison and you guys all played into it you’re not doctors you took an oath on a creed from the father of medicine known as Hippocrates and all of you earn breach of that creed because you are not practicing real medicine. Real medicine is plant medicine and it’s 60,000 you’re strong so when you guys are calling us quacks and convincing people that this isn’t real Medicine it doesn’t work and it’s not available it’s because you’re ignorant but you’re not right you guys get what a 30 minute seminar on nutrition out of eight years of schooling? Do you think there is any mistake in that? There’s not you’re not meant to help people you’re meant to make them lifetime customers of the pharmaceutical insurance and medical communities dream them until they’re in their golden years and leave them for dead when they’re terminal telling them there’s nothing you can do and you’re right there isn’t anything you can do but there is something they can do and the first thing they can do is stop listening to people like you
    So you’re telling me that a bacterial nutrient like B12 can survive pasteurization in milk? And you can’t even pronounce vegan correctly. I am vegetarian was vegan and I’m 54. I was the healthiest I had ever been when I was a raw food vegan
    And I knew what foods to eat to get B12 but I knew that my digestive ability was more important and I healed my digestion by going vegan so you guys aren’t telling the whole truth because first of all you don’t know second of all you don’t live that life and a lot of your information is based on dogma
    It’s not based on fact and if you tell me that the scientific community has provided you with the data and information to make an educated decision those studies have been done and paid for for sponsored by the companies that don’t want you to know the truth and the results are manipulated or the scientist are destroyed. Even if it’s quite coincidental. Nutritional yeast you didn’t even cover that properly because a lot of the nutritional yeast on the market doesn’t carry methylated version of Cobalamin
    Instead is bonded with cyanide that sounds counterintuitive doesn’t it? And it’s a fortification is it not? Or is a grown on cyanide and definitely coming from some type of genetically modified organism from the plant kingdom that has been doused with chemicals how is that a health conscious decision?
    And the fact that you actually think that a person cannot get a decent amount of vegan B12 is absurd it’s the same thing with vitamin D you say vitamin D two is no good which would be the vegan version but in fact there’s literature proving that that is not true if in fact it is better for you than D3. I’m not surprised but I don’t think that my frustration with a medical community is ever going to cease to amaze me
    OK now we’re getting somewhere you’re talking about how the ability to maintain optimum levels of these nutrients seems to dwindle as you age what is that indicative of? Digestive problems and how did we get to that .0 it’s just a natural process of aging I suppose you’re going to say but that is not true
    I would love to see you doctors have been practicing for 40 years come out after you’ve gone back to school and taught yourself all the things you think you know that you don’t know and learn the actual truth because that’s what you’re supposed to do you’re supposed to continue education that doesn’t mean have someone else teach you the truth that means you go find it. Just like you go find the answer to how to help your patient heal because it is in the creed and the outfit you took you promised to see your charge meaning your patient to good health and you would stop at nothing to do so but that isn’t the reality of the situation is it? Nope it’s not good
    shame on all of you
    So you really wanna confuse people by using big terminology and words calling it intrinsic factor instead of just calling it hydrochloric acid which means digestive juices. Those become diminished overtime as we age especially if we are eating the standard American diet known as SAD
    Boy oh boy I tell you I might not have a medical degree I might not have any formal training but I’ve spent the last 15 years which is almost double the amount of time that you people spend in medical school researching scientific literature studies from reputable and respected sources and teaching myself so that not only could I am rich myself and my life by adapting my lifestyle practices in especially what I consume but also to be able to nourish others with that knowledge and information but always telling them to do the research themselves because that’s how people learn. I don’t hear doctors ever say that they don’t want their authority to be diminished and some will actually come at you sideways and tell you that they don’t want to be your doctor if you’re not gonna do what they tell you to do. Just like some pediatricians actually refused to have particular patients when the parents are not willing to vaccinate why? Because they don’t get back a kickback from the pharmaceutical company
    all their fringe benefits are now gone so they look at them as having no value they don’t actually care about the patient which is the child again I say, shame on you
