Referencing the B12 video, have you seen this website? https://www.veganhealth.org/b12/plant
He argues that there is poor evidence indicating that nori or the mushrooms you mention reverse B12 deficiency or contain much active B12.
I’m interested because I got B12 deficiency after being vegetarian for 3 years, even though I drank a decent amount of B12-fortified soy milk (granted, usually it was only 1 or 2 cups a day and sometimes none and sometimes 3). I also drank drinks with spirulina, which I later found out doesn’t contain active B12, but I also ate cheese and eggs occasionally. I’m also curious what your thoughts are on cyanocobalamin and whether my MTHFR gene mutations could have been the reason I got B12 deficiency while drinking soy milk fortified with it. I’m a big fan of yours and I have learned a lot from you over the years. I also didn’t know you couldn’t just eat clams twice a month to prevent B12 deficiency. I’ve told people they could do that before. Whoops! Thank you!
Hi Reese,
I haven’t seen that site. The argument looks good to me. The forms have been characterized and the coenzyme forms are present as well as other forms known to be bioavailable, the forms bind to intrinsic factor in models of digestion suggest 50% bioavailability, and they prevent B12 deficiency in rats.
Chris
Also, I didn’t realize you couldn’t eat clams a couple times either. I did a lot of research to do this video and revised my understanding.
I don’t think MTHFR mutations cause B12 deficiency.
Pee and falling back to sleep:an addition. The carbohydrate suggestion is interesting and a plausible biochemistry. I would tweak the rest of the suggestion. No blue light is a must but getting up and walking to the bathroom and the video suggestion could be improved. Keep a jug/pitcher by the bed and pee in that with no need for a light and keeping one’s nervous system calm. Skip the video and meditate to keep from planning your day. The less you do the less nervous system stimulation and minimal disruption to the sleep cycle.
Ken,
That’s a good idea, but I think most people would not implement it.
I’m a 67 year old omnivore and I simplify this considerably by taking a 5mg sublingual methyl-cobalamin every other day. This bypasses the digestive system and ensures an adequate replenishment even if some of it doesn’t make it to the blood stream.
Make ginger snow. Peel some ginger root. Freeze it. Grate with a micro planer. The ginger will melt into the food or hot beverage without the fibers.
Chris,
I love you Chrismasterjohn Lite and try to incorporate many of your tips into my daily routine.
I practice intermittent fasting most days of the week. I basically skip breakfast and drink only a “bulletproof” coffee on waking..
Can you please give some tips on how to reconcile intermittent fasting and the Weston Price type diet safely and effectively.
Thank you.
Dora, from Toronto
Thanks Dora, I put this in my notes for topic requests.
Ginger: What is your opinion of using it daily and developing some kind of sensitivity which of course can develop to any food item?
What kind of breaks do you take (every other day, one day per week not taking or other)?
Do you circle between other digestive help herbs and spices like carminatives?
Noora,
I don’t take breaks, except when I don’t feel like taking it. I find my digestive symptoms are flexible now but I needed the ginger all the time at first. I’m not sure I understand your question on sensitivities.
Chris
Many great men throughout history have advocated a cold shower……I will never be one of them.
Ha! Well, there’s always coffee.
