There seems to be more than misdiagnosis when it comes to B-12. Studies show that B-12 deficiency is very central to MS. As this study states, "There is a significant association between MS and disturbed vitamin B12 metabolism." Arch Neurol 1992 Jun;49(6):649-52

There are many studies showing that a Vitamin B12 deficiency may be related to the onset / complications of MS (multiple sclerosis).

Quote:

Multiple sclerosis involves a deficiency in the production of the myelin sheath that protects the nerves. The following study states "vitamin B12 is required for the formation of myelin." This is pretty strong evidence that MS is a disease caused by nutrient deficiencies including vitamin B-12.

Is it possible that B-12 deficiency can actually cause MS? If that is the case, than is it possible to treat patients suffering from MS with Vitamin B12 injections or an over-the-counter pill such as Methyl B-12 5000 mcg?

Has anyone used Methyl B-12 to treat or relieve symptoms of MS / Multiple Sclerosis

The B-12 deficiency is probably an artifact of a congenital error in metabolism.

The same metabolic processes that produce the myelin sheath may produce, or prevent, the formation of other proteins. Most diseases like MS have several causes. One vitamin can't account for everything seen with MS.

You mean like scurvy being cured by vitamin C, or Iron Deficiency causing Anemia?

Hi guys,
I take vitamin B12 to help increase energy levels. I must have low levels of B12 because adding extra Vitamin B-12 makes me feel much better.

Can someone describe the effects of taking vitamin B12 for patients suffering from MS?

Methyl B-12 is great because it absorbs better.

Yes.

B-12 deficiency is seen in some cases of MS, but it can't be the sole cause of MS, since there are factors that combine to "create" MS. There are other proteins that have to be present for the nervous system, and the myelin sheaths, to form properly and maintain their integrity.

Dosing with B-12 doesn't seem like it would be enough to treat MS.

If I was suffering from MS, I'd try anything I could to relieve the problems associated with MS. Vitamin B12 seems like such a healthy, safe treatment for MS, I don't know why anyone wouldn't try it.

I'm sure they have to use other MS medications to treat the disease, but Vitamin B12 looks promising! It has been all over the news, and everywhere online! Vitamin B12 and Multiple Sclerosis - MS and Vitamin B12

Doesn't Steven Hawkings, the scientist, suffer from MS? I think his developed after he had attended college.

If so, he is a prime example of what the disease can reduce an otherwise healthy person to!

I believe you're right. Steven Hawkings, the scientist is suffering from MS. It's amazing what someone suffering from MS or other serious diseases can accomplish! Steven Hawkings is amazing!
