The Dangers of a B12 Deficiency and why it could be more serious than you think

pickles-image-from-unsplash-natalie-rhea-riggs.jpgMy goal is to spread awareness so we can reduce suffering from something that is so easily preventable and treatable.
It seems a B12 deficiency can mimic or possibly even have an underlying cause of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Dementia, Autism, Fibromyalgia, Infertility, and Post-partum depression, just to name a few. In fact, knowing what I know now, I think it could have led to my diagnosis with CRPS 6 years ago.
Here’s the deal, B-12 is CRAZY important, in fact, it’s CRITICAL to life, but it’s also the most difficult vitamin to absorb, which is why so many people are deficient and don’t even know it.

THE DANGERS OF A B12 DEFICIENCY 

True confession, I’m not a huge fan of hospitals and rarely go unless absolutely necessary. Nothing against Doctors and Nurses, I have so much respect for all healers and my mom and grandmother even worked in a hospital at one point, but I find the sterile environment a little intimidating. Not to mention it seems some doctors care more about treating symptoms vs. finding the root cause.
I believe in self-healing. I believe in integrative medicine. I believe food is medicine. I believe in holistic medicine. And I believe in hospitals. I believe all have a time and a place.
You can judge me on this if you want, but I try to pay attention to my body and let my intuition guide me, and so far it’s never failed. I’m not saying this is right or wrong, it’s just what I’ve always done. Eric knows when I’m really not feeling well because I ask him to take me to the doctor.

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks. As for longboarding, all one really needs is a hilly area that is hopefully nicely paved, ideally with not much traffic.  In Walla Walla, serious elevation change is something of a rarity, so most long boarders on campus mainly direct their hobby toward getting to class. However, there are students who do manage to find places off ca...

B12 Benefits While Pregnant

If you are pregnant, or trying to conceive, you know that taking folic acid is essential for the healthy development of your baby. But according to the World Health Organization, vitamin B12 is just as important in preventing neural tube and other neurological defects in infants and unfortunately as many as 1 in 20 adults is deficient in this essential vitamin. Vitamin B12 is important because "it helps keep the body's nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material in all cells," explains Peter Shaw, M.D., chief medical officer of pharmaceutical company Emisphere, which manufactures B12 supplements. "A deficiency is associated with increased risk for several adverse pregnancy outcomes for both mother and fetus. These risks include neural tube defects, intrauterine growth retardation, preeclampsia and early miscarriage," he says. Even more frighteningly, the neurological and developmental delays in babies that can be caused by ...
