My goal was/is to help people protect themselves from the barbs of knowing too little about vitamin B12 and the impact of low levels of B12 on health, as well as the barb of too little money for B12 tests, resulting in too much vulnerability to Pharma. The goal of Health-Boundaries is...
1.4 × 107CFU/ml andB. thetaiotaomicrongrown in BHI broth (Difco) at 5.5 × 107CFU/ml were used as inoculums. Counts were determined by plating on MacConkey agar forC. rodentiumand the BHI with calf blood agar forB. thetaiotaomicron. Total RNA was immediately extracted from 1 ml of pellet...
The limited amount of blood available also did not allow us to measure folate status. Folate is well known for masking the hematological symptoms of Cbl deficiency. Moreover, there are also concerns that elevated folate concentrations may worsen vitamin B12 status and increase MMA concentrations. ...
I hobbled over to a nearby urgent-care center, where the doctor told me the tingling could be explained by a viral infection, even though she didn’t run any tests or give me any prescriptions. I left feeling even more hopeless than when I had stumbled in–and more tingly. With no ch...
One previous study of 689 US adults found that serum folate level was not associated with the risk of CVD mortality among participants with diabetes,20 whereas 2 other studies using data from NHANES 1991 through 1994 showed that serum and red blood cell folate levels were positively associated ...
Among the five nested case–control studies, two studies in one article (Wu et al, 1999a,b) only adjusted for age, menopausal status and year of blood donation, and a positive but not significant association of serum PLP levels with the risk of breast cancer was found. Three studies (...

Participants were excluded if they had implausible total energy intake (50 participants with ≤600 or ≥6000 kcal per day for women or ≤800 or ≥8000 kcal per day for men), had no vitamin B intake data (2 participants), fasted less than 8 hours before blood drawing at any examination ...
(gastric intrinsic factor) gene [20]; however, these difficulties can probably be explained by radiocobalamin absorption tests having been performed during the deficiency state or not at all (see below). Transcobalamin deficiency and errors in the biosynthesis of cobalamin coenzymes result in severe...
