Keith Gonzalez said:There's gotta be at least 300 reasons why...

Is there like, any basic reason for this?
How would you even go about looking into it?...

Carol Lopez23 said:To get a clear picture, you really ought to request a full panel—starting with a complete blood count, a peripheral blood smear, and serum folate. Checking your homocysteine levels could also provide some very useful insight.

I think I read somewhere that if your B6, B9, or B12 levels are low, your homocysteine goes through the roof...

Do you know exactly which blood panel I should ask for?
I've actually got some downtime this winter, so I'm thinking about getting everything checked out...

Back in April, I took a dose of B12, and then three months later, my levels were still sitting at around 220 units. Kind of ridiculous, right?

As for symptoms, I'm dealing with constant fatigue, being super irritable, and sometimes just feeling totally foggy... not even mentioning the memory stuff...

Carol Lopez23 said:If you're dealing with pernicious anemia, all those B12 supplements you're taking orally won't do much good at all. 😁

I don't really get why my levels are so low...
Like, I eat tons of meat and stuff, right?
But my B9 is basically through the roof
And then my doctor tells me my B6 is probably bottoming out too

How am I even supposed to figure out what's actually going on when you can't even bring up this kind of stuff in California...
Around here, they basically just look at your blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol to decide if you're healthy or not... 🙂

He went to the clinic to get some blood drawn
$47for those lab results

Just picked up some natural B12

100mcg

50 tablets in the bottle

Does anyone know how long I can safely stay on this stuff?
My last blood test showed I was at 200 units...

Low Alkaline Phosphatase
I wonder what could be causing this...

Man, I was actually sitting right there in the room during that analysis

I gotta say though, the doc's making some pretty solid points...

Jeremy Bishop35 said:It all boils down to a sedentary lifestyle—and quite possibly a lack of quality companionship. If you’ve managed to creep past the age of 30, honestly, none of this should come as a shock. Try incorporating some actual physical activity into your routine and injecting a bit of vitality into your daily life; your libido will likely follow suit once you aren't just sitting around

I know from firsthand experience—I can see the stark difference in my own performance now compared to how I functioned back when I was just a kid in my early twenties

For me, my libido is either through the roof or just a total disaster zone... there is no middle ground

So, what actually prompted you to go get your testosterone levels checked out in the first place?
What was the main reason...

analoghound19 said:What are the actual signs of a Vitamin D deficiency? Or maybe B...

Memory issues
neurosis disorder
neurosis disorder
Anxiety

Just ran my B12 levels through the lab
Reference range is 156-674

Mine came back at 208

The Folate B9 was 12-46
But mine’s sitting at a measly 40

Kimberly Ward said:Sure, but I honestly think we're looking at a situation where someone is dealing with an incurable illness...

And what about heavy metal poisoning?
I mean, how are you even supposed to know until the lab results actually come back...

Kimberly Ward said:It’s probably some super rare stuff that only pops up once in a blue moon... like Huntington's or ALS or whatever...

But honestly, even just a little extra heavy metal buildup can totally mess with your head and cause all sorts of mental issues...

So, I heard there's some action going down over in San Francisco
Or maybe it's one of those big firms based in NYC
They’re apparently flying samples out to the States by plane, and we should have the results in about 21 days...
Anyone actually know where you can pick up some heavy metal?

How can you be so sure? And what makes you doubt it?

There's this one analysis over on 21metal...
Aluminum is just as sketchy, too...

Lawrence Booth2 said:man, reading this just brings back some seriously repressed memories... I was just a kid back when we were refugees during the war, and I actually passed two white worms, like 2 inches long, straight out of my ass

just thin little things

I never even bothered seeing a doctor about it
so what are the odds that I’ve got a whole colony living in my gut today, like 25 years later?

I basically eat garlic like it's candy nowadays😁 hoping that's enough to wipe them all out once and for all...

Trust me, you aren't the only one who's dealt with this
But hey, what kind of symptoms are you actually feeling?
People have actually started talking about this stuff more lately
It's like doctors didn't even realize this was a thing before

So, what actually happened that made you decide to go see the doctor in the first place? Like, what were you feeling...

What were you actually basing those tests on?
So, what kind of symptoms were you dealing with?

Those super pricey tablets that supposedly kill off parasites
Anyone actually know the deal with these things? Like, does anyone have the lowdown...

Nicholas Davis4 said:Why are you so fixated on vitamins?
Think of it like tuning a car; first, you have to organize your life, your routine, and your daily habits. Once you balance those fundamentals, everything else starts to align.

Honestly... 🤦

It’s been a pretty rough day, but reading this actually cheered me up a bit...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

( Also, taking that much B6 would be bordering on an overdose, since at those levels it's practically used as a pharmaceutical for things like neuropathy or neuralgia... it’s definitely not intended for the kind of performance boost being described here. 🤦 )

Nicholas Davis4 Yeah, you're totally right about the whole lifestyle thing and all that... But I got hooked on the idea of vitamin and mineral Supplements and hormones because they're absolutely vital in plants (that's my field) and plants are pretty much just like humans... I'm not one of those hypochondriacs who's constantly freaking out over every little thing, I'm just looking for ways to boost my own strength... I've noticed a massive spike in people dealing with autoimmune issues over the last five years... And I've also realized that, honestly, like 99% of doctors aren't even up to the task
