I was told to take it in the morning, sublingually for 30 seconds and then swallow it. Apparently had no effect on my diagnosis of excreting too much calcium in October.

B12 absorption requires calcuim. Drs. do not keep their patients in the Know. They like them to be puppets. There are many drs. who think that the patient doesn't have to know what is going on. So if you are interested you have to find out for yourself. Frances Dear Vivian

Drs. do not keep their patients in the Know. They like them to be puppets. There are many drs. who think that the patient doesn’t
have to know what is going on. So if you are interested you have to find out for yourself.

I have started taking a Multi vitamin/Multi mineral with Iron and Calcium. My B12 intake is 6mcg and my B6 is 2mg. Is that enough plus what I also get in food. I've also started taking Calcium twice a day. Thanks for all your support and being there for us women that are just learning to eat healthier to save our bones. Sharon Vivian,

About 2 years ago I became anemic, and the only thing they could find was a B-12 deficiency. I had never been anemic before. I do take a lot of extra B-12 now, but the interesting thing is that I have been taking calcium citrate, Vitamin D3, and Actonel for several years to treat osteopenia. My recent annual exam showed that my vitamin D was below normal, and my bones had regressed on my bone density. In addition, I am a walker, but nothing seems to be working. I do have the B-12 levels back up, but I am going to see an endocrinologist to find out why my body is not absorbing all the supplements. It's amazing how all of these things affect bone density.

You are obviously referring to Forteo. Small correction, though: the black box warning is for generalized bone cancer, not jaw cancer. Hi Margaret,

That is precisely why governments want to have universal health care: so they can make decisions for the patients and control the doctors. I have a great idea: let's deregulate health care, allow competition with prices because of a lack of a third party payer... and offer "grocery" insurance. If that were to happen, medical costs would plummet, and get ready to pay $20 for a pound of apples. Grocery products would skyrocket. Why? The consumer doesn't care how much it costs, because somebody else (the government or an insurance company) is paying for it. Get the picture, everyone?
