Q. Are there natural remedies? How soon can one see noticeable improvements in the patients. What are the early signs that the patient is responding to the B12 injections
A. I was going to answer with this: "generally, once nerve damage has occurred as a result of B12 deficiency, treatment with B12 provides little benefit in relieving the damage." However, I just found a scientific paper from 2011 in "Nutrition Journal" that cites references to studies that found: in cases of pernicious anemia, intramuscular injections of B12 can reduce neurological symptoms. Whether or not neurological symptoms that exist independently of pernicious anemia can be successfully treated is not clear.
In this same paper, the researchers found neurological improvements from high-dose oral supplements of B12 in elderly patients with low B12 status but with no overt neurological symptoms.
Best wishes and good luck.

Do you need to have a b12 deficiency to take vitamin b12?
Q. Does anyone take vitamin b12 without a deficiency? how will the effect compare to that of someone who does have a deficiency?
A. B12 deficiency, is a serious condition, however it takes YEARS to develope one...because we do have stored reserves in the body, such as bone marrow, liver cells atc...
However, serious deficiencies with polineuritis, anesthesia of vibration, and anemia (macrocytic or big erythrocytes anemia), are the main indication for treatment with INJECTED not oral B12, because sometimes, we lack a protein formed in the fundus of the stomach called "intrinsic factor" that links itself tp the B12, making it absorbable....
By injecting the B12, you bypass this possibility (pernicious anemia) and the B12 reaches directly the bone marrow and the storage sites....
However, if you are NOT deficient of B12 and still take it, there will be no harm, because the B12 has no intrinsic toxicity, and as other answerers above told to you, it is as expensive "placebo"......nothing else.....

How does vitamin B12 help lower my heart rate?
Q. Does it lower homocysteine levels in my blood? I used to have tachycardia. Now since the doctor tested my blood, it was determined that i was low in vitamin b12. So ive been taking vitamin b12 for sometime now, and I don't experience increased heart rate anymore. I feel better.
A. Folic acid (folate) and B12 vitamin help break down homocysteine, an amino acid in your blood.
V B 12 deficiency lead to anemia and anemia lead to tachycardia(increase of heart rate).
So, with usage of V B12 and treatment anemia, heart rate come down, under these circumstance vitamin B12 can decreases a fast heart rate.

Can a Vitamin B12 deficiency bring around an OCD?
Q. I 'm trying to help a friend deal with a particularly bad Mental OCD; and I read somewhere that certain vitamins can influence OCD's and stuff... what kind of vitamins should she take that could help her mentally?
A. Yes, in fact a year after vitamin B12 treatment (was very B12 deficient), my OCD symptoms were gone. I found the most effective at boosting B12 levels was oral B12 under the tongue spray. This is pain free and 900% more effective than tablets.
