| supercork ::: Favorites 2008-01-05 21:44:26 i like your videos because you can give us a TON of info in like 10 minutes or under and tell us simple things that can make a big difference and you know what, almost all the stuff you say is right. Keep doing what you are doing! __________________________________________________ | |
| dominicanville ::: Favorites 2008-01-02 01:15:22 lol, that's funny. I'll remember that survival tactic if I'm ever lost anywhere without my B12 supplement. You knocked that question out of the waster. I'm vegan too, so I'm concerned as well about getting enough B12. I'm taking Spirulina now, but I'll take your word for it and get off. That's stuff is gross anyway. I'll look up your supplement...thanks... __________________________________________________ | |
| ega1mann ::: Favorites 2008-01-02 00:50:32 The funny (well. no) thing is, that microorganisms in our intestines actually produce a considerable amount of B12 - but too low down in the intestine canal where it can't be absorbed anymore. Which can be circumvented by sending the literal crap through once again. This has been proven to work, where B12 deficient (with symptoms) consenting patiens where given a liqzuid extract of their feces, and after weeks, deficiency symptoms vanished ^^ If there's a god, he has a strange sense of humor. __________________________________________________ | |
| ega1mann ::: Favorites 2008-01-02 00:49:36 (that's why some people have claimed "I need no external B12, say my blood tests!", well, they didn't wait long enough... there is an abundance of evidence this isn't true for the vast majority of humans.) lol, as a side note, if you're shipwrecked on an island, you could still eat your feces to have B12, isn't that yummie? :D __________________________________________________ | |
| ega1mann ::: Favorites 2008-01-02 00:38:31 I'm vegan since jan 2003, no problems so far. Doc even says I have the best blood she's seen in a while... but bear in mind that for some people B12 liver depots can last over 10 years (for most at least 2..5 years) before it's all out. Some people need higher doses than others, or have habits that decrease absorption. __________________________________________________ | |
| ega1mann ::: Favorites 2008-01-02 00:36:26 When going totally animal product free, I recommend to have blood tests made maybe every 1..2 years or so, if your chosen products works for you (some B12 tests are useless, be sure that the homocysteine level gets checked for not being to high, which is an indicator of B12 deficiency and can occur even if B12 serum level has OK results...) __________________________________________________ | |
| ega1mann ::: Favorites 2008-01-02 00:35:27 I can't say it's the best (I don't know), for it's the only "close to clean" product that's available to me ATM, but I use one o fthe B12 pills of "nowfoods". There are some stabilizing (ie holding together) agents in it (which are explicitly said to be of plant sources), but as far as I can tell nothing too bad. I once had a product of a company named "greenvitamins" from netherlands, which alas went bankcrupt. Their capsules had only 3 or so ingredients ^^ __________________________________________________ | |
| ega1mann ::: Favorites 2008-01-02 00:06:22 ... not to let it sound like it's just a guess that we need external B12 sources, doubters might look at veganhealth#org/b12/b12 __________________________________________________ | |
| ega1mann ::: Favorites 2008-01-01 23:56:08 I don't buy into the oldschool "natural hygiene" teachings that there's nothing in animal products we can't get EASILY without them. All apes eat at least some insects, even if by accident, and there are studies proving that many insects contain B12, and I see no reason why even the first humans who had not developed hunting techniques & tools should not have eaten insects and worms etc, which are pretty easy to grab in small quantities. __________________________________________________ | |
| ega1mann ::: Favorites 2008-01-01 23:54:42 Btw, there are capsules made from cellulose (a type of plant fiber) instead of gelatine ;-) especially in the US there are quite some B12 pills without any animal products or preservatives, artificial flavor etc. I'm an advocate of raw foods, but still recommend B12 pills if you like to avoid animal products. (which, even if it might not classify as "natural", has proven benefits, at least for the type/forms of preparation of animal products that are usually consumed in civilized world) __________________________________________________ | |
| dominicanville ::: Favorites 2008-01-01 23:43:31 Cool, good information. So if you were to be taking a B12 supplement, which one would you choose? __________________________________________________ | |
| ega1mann ::: Favorites 2008-01-01 23:38:12 - answer #2 btw, don't go for algae(products) for B12, like spirulina, they contain mostly inactive form of B12 (wrong atom in the molecule kernel) which our body absorbs just as real B12, but which doesn't fulfill its purpose... so this kind of stuff, just like some fermented foods (sauerkraut, tempeh, ...) and yeast (although some is fortified) that were once reported to be a B12 source, is actually ANTI-B12 in what it does in the body. it occupies the space where active B12 should be! __________________________________________________ | |
| ega1mann ::: Favorites 2008-01-01 23:34:46 - answer #1 didn't I already answer this in my "Vitamins #2" comment? Yes, *B12* pills are okay in my POV. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking B12 pills/capsules for people trying to avoid animal products totally while also trying to avoid stuff like "vitaminized" cornflakes and other processed stuff. You can obtain B12 pills without any additive chemical crap in them, besides some rice starch or so as filler, which are so small amounts that it's no deal even if you try to avoid hi-starch foods... __________________________________________________ | |

| dominicanville ::: Favorites 2007-12-23 12:01:11 What's up man. So how would you suggest someone take B12? Do you know any natural sources, or are pills ok with you? __________________________________________________ | |
