Three | Supplement Protocols

These three supplement protocols are essential for you to know, and you can take this information to your health professional for guidance on what protocol will be appropriate for you in restoring and maintaining your B-12 levels. You can use the CDR Risk Score you got from the survey on this page to get an idea of what Method might be most skillful to apply.

Important: Treating B-12 deficiency costs only a few dollars a month, and numerous B-12 deficiency symptoms are often completely reversible if people receive early treatment.

If diagnosed late, symptoms such as dementia and nerve injury are difficult to impossible to reverse. So you will want to be on this one!

Method #1 (For High CDR Risk):

Serious Deficiency with Severe Related Health Challenges and Symptoms

Injections of vitamin B-12 (methylcobalamin or hydroxocobalamin)

1.  1,000 mcg Intramuscular (IM) for each dose
2.  Administer daily for the first week
3.  Administer weekly for one month
4.  Monthly injections for the remainder of one’s life
5.  ALSO: Incorporate Transdermal and Oral Methods #2 and #3 (SEE BELOW)

You can learn to give self-injections. Variations in dosages exist because injectable B-12 is virtually non-toxic, except in very rare allergic reactions, and because of the way it is supplied by manufacturers (1,000 mcg/1ml).

Studies have shown that methylcobalamin is superior in treating neurologic disease.

Only methylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin should be used in treating inborn errors of B-12 metabolism.

I have sources of injectable methylcobalamin listed in the next section, “Supplement Options: What You Need To Know.”

Method #2 (For Moderate CDR Risk):

Moderate Deficiency With Some Related Health Challenges and Symptoms

Combination of B-12 Injections and Transdermal B-12 Patches

1.  B-12 Injections weekly for one month
2.  Transdermal B-12 Patches (behind your ear) twice weekly as a Life Practice
3.  Oral B-12 (methylcobalamin) of 1,000 – 2,000 mcg on non-B-12 Patch days
4.  A B-12 injection twice yearly

Method #3 (For Low CDR Risk):

No or Low Deficiency With Few or no Related Health Challenges Standard Supplementation

1.  Transdermal B-12 Patches (behind your ear) twice weekly as a Life Practice
2.  Oral B-12 (methylcobalamin) of 1,000 – 2,000 mcg on non-B-12 Patch days
3.  A B-12 injection twice yearly
