Phil’s Expanded Experience with B12
I will be the first to admit
that I am in awe of the human body
and it’s amazing self-regenerative design!!
To recap a bit,
this B12 issue goes back 2 years or so.
Phil has been made aware by the doctor
that signs him out for his pilots license
and commercial driving license,
that after 16 plus years as a full on Vegan
his B12 was “low”.
We have avoided the fake B12 supplements.
Which I tried for just 5 days
and found I could hear my heart pounding in my head. Then it stopped when I stopped the supplements, clue!
We also said NO to the injections for about 2 years.
Phil had made some headway in increasing his B12
by adding eggs to his diet.
Then a year later he added sardines.
That only lasted for 5 or 6 days.
This was a last ditch attempt
before giving in to the injection.
It finally came to the tipping point that Phil was experiencing cognitive issues.
Most would have written it off as aging since he is 82.
But those of us who work with Phil on a regular basis know he is definitely NOT your average 82 year old guy. Others may think it could be the onset of dementia.
Yet that would make absolutely NO sense
since Phil’s body is alkaline and has been for decades!
FYI we know that Alzheimer and Dementia
are both a result of an acidic condition in the body
that “corrodes” the synapses in the brain
thus interfering with the messaging signals.
Get Alkaline = Get Well!
It was obvious something was amiss.
We had already done much research to find out the root of the issue, or so we thought.
Low B12 was the indicator,
but what was behind that, was our question?
The info from an online search basically just said that B12 helped with making new red blood cells.
That wasn’t helpful enough info.
Not until we finally decided that we needed
some type of intervention
did Phil succumb and agree to take a B12 injection.
He is very much opposed to any kind of injection, because he believes that you usurp
the body’s natural defense mechanism
when you inject anything directly into the blood stream.
FYI the B12 injection goes into your muscle
and not
directly into the blood stream.
No one had mentioned that either!
A very caring young pharmacist was going to do the first B12 injection.
He took the time to answer our questions.
The first thing that jumped out at us was when he said,
“B12 helps the body to deliver oxygen to the cells.”
WHAT???
That alone would explain the issue right there!
This fellow also mentioned that once the body
gets too low on B12
it has a hard time “catching up” with just food.
Fast forward.
Myself and others who work with Phil noticed an improvement in about 18 hours after the first injection.
Then the benefits dropped off again.
We did the injections 4 or 5 times
until Phil said
“NO MORE! I feel like there are things
crawling all over my skin.”
That was a sure sign that his body had had enough!
Now what do we do?
I just love how the Universe likes to show off.
Low and behold wouldn’t you know it
that another vendor at the Farmers’ Market
who is also trying to help folks get well
came up to me and said,
“I need to pick your brain about B12.”
We talked, I told him about Phil’s situation.
he lights up and says,
“OH, you need the Intrinsic Factor!”
Longer story short,
We needed to add Miso, Sauerkraut or Kim-chi etc.
to Phil’s diet.
The reason being, the fermentation & bacteria
in those FOODS
help the body take up and deliver the B12
to the Liver,
where B12 is stored for use when needed.
Needless to say by the next week
when we saw AL at the Market,
Phil gave him a
big hug and big THANK YOU
for sharing the missing piece of the puzzle!
We knew it had to do with FOOD.
AL provided the info.
Phil started taking Miso daily.
His energy soared, and the best way to describe it is,
Phil is back to being himself!
YEAH!!
We are so grateful to AL,
and he was so excited to know his info helped Phil
and would help even more people
because he knows our passion is
to help everyone get well,
with FOOD not drugs!
Healthy, Happy Days to You!
