I ve been using B12 shots for years. I give myself a B12 shot once a month to help with the pain I have from neuropathy in my feet and legs. This shot really helps.
Not sure exactly which B12 shot I received but I do know that after having an incident where I had a huge blood loss I had no energy...I started to take B12 and it took awhile but I am now starting to get my energy back!!?
B12 is a vitamin, meaning a substance necessary for the functioning of the human body. Do you also think that people who cured their scurvy with vitamin C were experiencing a placebo effect?
You can really use any form of injectable b12. In Canada, we can buy it over the counter . Remember to take folic acid with B12, as it needs it to work. It's more complicated than just a shot. I have pernicious anemia and learned the hard way.
I just found out I’m super deficient I have to start injections. I have no idea this has anything to do with weight! Which is ironic because I’ve been working out like crazy and cutting out sugar completely wasn’t losing any weight. This is all making sense.
So glad I found this video. You brought up some very valid points. Not going to a weight loss clinic but doing HRT and a number of injections seem to be included/ recommended. I was very apprehensive and felt bombarded. You want to trust your doctors, but...I just don't and needed to think through the decision. I know I don't methylate properly, which is one reason I'm struggling to begin with. Now I know to bring up better options for me in the form of methylated B-12. The point is to feel good and heal, not have a temporary boost that hurts you in the long run.
I've been diagnosed with Hashimoto and at the same time a serious pernicious anemia - low hemoglobin, erythrocytes to the point I had to be hospitalized and given blood transfusions and later given vitamin b12 shots 5x1000 mcg in course of 10 days. My resting pulse went from 85 to 55-60, (160 when walking to 110-120). I went from no appetite to very hungry. It helped with my depression but I am still quite inactive when it comes to exercising. So I guess it's not super-remedy for everyone.
I swim every morning at 6ish and I am worn out during the day. 20 Olympic laps at 66yo. I am so tired, I am going to get my first B12 this Monday. I will be able to tell immediately when I do my workout on Tuesday morning.
Awesome video explaining!! Yes B12 did make a difference in my energy level!! I’m also taking Lipo shots in conjunction with it!! Just waiting to see if this helps my weight loss journey..
Hi.. I was feeling extremely low in energy & got my blood work done, my B12 level is 83 (pg/mL) & D3 is 24, I've been suggested to take B12 injections, just wanted to check how many injections is safe to take & what should be the time gap between the injections, pls can you suggest. Thanks.
I am interested in taking this shot I am looking forward to getting it. I have made changes in my diet I hope this helps! I haven’t been able to lose past 142lbs after the birth of my son.
Hi i been deficient in b12 obviously for years without knowing and stopped smoking 5 years ago so i put o a good bit of weight. Ive started loading injections of b12 over 2 weeks and instantly it gave me so much energy and took away pins and needles i had been experiencing. My doctor tried me on tablet form and it made no difference, in 3 weeks ive lost 8lb without even trying the only difference is my energy levels are what they should be and i actually dont feel the need to snack of eat alot but im still having my usual meals a day and have wine at weekends like i normally do. Obviously been deficient has took its toll on me over past few year with no energy what so ever which i hated but thought it was because my diet which isn't that bad But could be better. So now im going to start eating healthier as well as getting my vitamin b12 injection because ive to get them for rest of my life so its just been the missing link for me😁✨💖
I have experienced some benefit from cyanocobalamin injections but had to take it multiple times per week. Later found out I'm compound heterozygous MTHFR. 🤷🏻♀️ Funnily enough, my Drs never actually checked my B12, they just presumed I was low based on other labs. Most recent labs for B12 without any supplements was over 1700. Weird.
I don’t understand how b12 shots just be purchased anywhere. I have to have a script and once a month th shot. Pic up script 1 month at a time 😳 I have hashimoto my body won’t absorb b12 naturally. I feel No different still so tired. Thanks for info. Kinda sad that anyone anywhere can get this. Yet doctors sell in a script in allotted time sequence. Thanks for great Info
Forgot to say I got the pure Zn wire for collidal Zn and Cu off Amazon. Made them at home myself. So can't specify PPM. Not that it matters right, 2 parts Zn 3 parts Cu And I left the seeds and skin in/on the pumpkin /sweet potatoes. Instant improvement in like less than a minute for the colloids and minutes for the pumpkin/S.potatoes I had hyper on the left and hypo on the right and a goitre, couldn't swallow saliva without intense discomfort. After I went and got snacks from the shop the results were so good I got a pizza after. It'll work big time, have Thaimine as well. Great vid
Hi dr. I have a question sorry is not about this subject. I just found you and I have a question I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and grave the Dr . Gave me methimazole but is it's making my liver enzymes high . So she told me about RAI but I'm not to sure I want to take that . Which one do you think is better taking the thyroid out or RIA . Please respond 😔 some so lost 🥺
Hi- this video is over 3 years old but I really love the video and the source of information within it. I notice alot of medspas or clinics offer B12 and MIC shots but all of them only offer the "C" type of B12. I am also currently taking a BioBoost prescription combined with MIC but its also ony cyancobalamin. In this case, would we just need to ask our providers for the methycibalamin separately from MIC?
Hi Dr. Childs I have all normal thyriod blood labs but do have a nogel on my thyriod gland. I have high cortisol and PCOS but have ALL symptoms of hypothyriodism can't loose weight in 25 years keep gaining weight no matter the diet. What is the problem that have a nogel but have ALL normal blood test labs? I'm refused any kind of thyriod treatment. So I'm at a loss I have insulin resistance and on Vigtosa and metformin and a hormone medication for the PCOS but still struggle. I'm at a complete loss. Because I am sick to death of dieting I've dieties nonstop for 25 years took weight loss meds when I can afford them with little to know success. I have arthritis fiddling my joints since I was a teen which makes it even harder getting around bring overweight.
If someone is on armour and they're antibodies have skyrocketed and TSH is high, ft3 low, ft4 low do you think they need a higher dose or is it possible the Armour is making the Hashimotos worse hence the skyrocketing antibodies. Not sure if I should ask for an increase to get my levels optimal or switch to synthetic t3/t4. Thanks!
I’m on desiccated and have hashi’s if your antibodies are high it’s not the Armour. You’re probably eating something that is keeping your antibodies high like gluten. You have to figure out what you’re eating that is causing antibodies. It’s usually gluten …
I got prescribed the cyanocobalamin today in 1000 mcg like he said. My b12 is critically low, but I’m hoping for the helpful weight loss aspect also. I’m on phentramine, and I’m also getting a super high dose of vitamin D which all aid in helping with weight loss!
Hi Doctor Childs, i REALLY need to know, i have all the symptoms of hyperthyroidism , and when i did the blood tests required they all came back normal. Is it possible to be in (a grey zone) that they sometimes call a gap, that some doctors aren't aware of? Because it's been 5 yrs that im suffering, and doctors think it's in my head, it's terrible i need a diagnose so that i can be proactive. Please tell me what you think, and thankyou.
Where’s the best place to get these Lipotropic B12 Injections because I got it in my arm and that burned and hurt so bad I’m scared to get another one.😩
IM will be most effective. I, personally, have never had an issue with the burning sensation, but I've had pts tell me they have had that burning sensation with other injectors. I roll the syringes in my hands, to warm, then I inject slowly.
Interesting, I get b12 shots monthly and will soon start weekly due to being a vegetarian for so long. Sometimes they are painful and I get no boost in energy or haven't lost weight. Instead I fall asleep right after I get it..
Thank you for a great explanation of how this all works.. One question though..you do not look to have any weight issues so why do you take the B12 shots? Energy?
Hello, English is my second language,I couldn’t understand the name of Vitamin B12 that you suggested to be used.I would appreciate If you or anyone could kindly let me know the name. Thanks
I had been on vegan diet for 7 years. now I guit this diet and use b12 cyanocobalamin 1000 injection for 1 month .my severe hair loss stoped .but my iron level becomes 244 mcg/dl and UIBC become 141 and TIBC become 385 and my ferritin level becomes 20.is my blood test is dangerous?
Check your vitamin D. We often give B12 injections and D injections, because most of our pts are extremely deficient in both. Most people are D deficient these days, due to working long hours and not being in the sun, or getting nutrients through diet. Vitamin D injections are every 60 days. So, not as often as B12. Both will help with weightloss and energy. Plus, I have lupus, and I don't get sick, EVER, since taking both injections.
Can I just take tons of B12 Vitamins? I need for depression and energy and sleep. I am 57 year old woman. Way too tired to workout. I'm about 25 lbs overweight.
Hello Dr. , I just started talking shots that are B12+Lipotropics. Is one shot a week likely to help cause noticable differences, or would that be to few to really do anything. Would two shots a week be more worth it ? How long should it take for me to notice a difference if I am someone who could actually benefit from them ? I am not hugely obese, but I am overweight and my metabolism is pretty slow. Thanks in advance, and thanks for this video.
I know it sucks, but until exercise and diet are 80% +, you won’t see results by taking weight loss drugs, I put on so much weight but lost 6/7 stone and love training but before that I’d tried anything going and I mean stuff actually for weight loss, it’s the cherry on top of the icing on the cake this stuff
I injected myself with 5ml B complex. It was quite painful and my energy levels didn't go up that I noticed. I also noticed that my urine was golden afterwards. I think I just urinated it all away.
Thanks doctor. I was very deficient in b12 (35pg/ml). I had about 1500mcg shots about 10 in one month and have been on one injection per month for the last 6 years. Is it sufficient? Can I switch over to 1500mcg per day tablets? Here in India we get only intramuscular b12 shots. Between tablets ,sublingual,patches which is better? One injection I had sometime back was very painful. Thanks.
I am taking intramuscular injections of B12 because my stomach can't absorb B12 from food - it was causing pernicious anemia. So if you have this kind of problem, it's better to take injections.
Many people cannot absorb b12 when you ingest it unfortunately. Injections are the only method that works for many. I’m one of those. I cannot absorb it for whatever reason
I’ve sent you so many messages I really need your help if we can do a Tele med call that would be great I I have hypothyroidism I’ve been on levothyroxine for two years and I’m gaining weight I’m losing my hair I’m so tired all the time I need help
Personally I went to ‘Life Giving Store’ and ordered natural desiccated thyroid. It works well. Monitor your pulse and body temperature & add more or less dosage based on those ranges to keep them balanced. It ships in about two weeks from usa to me here in Canada. Best of luck. I think many of us were in your exact situation. It will get better. Try to take it into your own hands. Or get to a naturopathic doctor if you can afford it.
This might be a silly question but I just stumbled upon your video researching injectable b12 and immediately started shopping around and I noticed Walmart sells a huge bottle for literally a fraction of the price of everywhere else but it's listed as a form for animals and I'm curious if it's one of those situations where it's literally the same thing, much like my dog's meds which are identical to the human version for way less money. I'm literally looking at a 100ml bottle for $6 as opposed to a 50ml bottle of "human" b12 for $125 so I'm like hmm 🤔😅
I'm having such a hard time finding how much I should pull into 100cc syringe! You say 5000 mcg , but wouldn't that only be 5 ccs a week? The lady in your video filled it up to 100! I'm so confused
What the doc said. For example, 1mL of liquid in the syringe is a 1,000mcg dose for my b12. The bottle says this, and I have my recommended dose from my doc too.
I ve been using B12 shots for years. I give myself a B12 shot once a month to help with the pain I have from neuropathy in my feet and legs. This shot really helps.
I just had my first b12 shot a couple of weeks ago..I noticed a big difference in mood & energy level!
Awesome!
Not sure exactly which B12 shot I received but I do know that after having an incident where I had a huge blood loss I had no energy...I started to take B12 and it took awhile but I am now starting to get my energy back!!?
Would like to try to do the combination of both didn't know if that was ok..but I think I will definitely try those..thank YOU for your information.
Doctor what about if only hydroxocobolamin 1mg/ml injection available. Then how much doasage for b12 defficiet person? @@drwestinchilds
I got my first b12 shot last Tuesday. About 20 minutes later I was feeling awesome. This stuff is no bs
I agree.
Really? Have you tried B12 through vitamins?
Placebo effects
B12 is a vitamin, meaning a substance necessary for the functioning of the human body. Do you also think that people who cured their scurvy with vitamin C were experiencing a placebo effect?
You can really use any form of injectable b12. In Canada, we can buy it over the counter . Remember to take folic acid with B12, as it needs it to work. It's more complicated than just a shot. I have pernicious anemia and learned the hard way.
do you use methylcobalabin? If so, where do you get it?? I can't find it anywhere without a prescription, only cyanacobalabin . . .
I started ordering vials from Canada 3 years ago can you recommend a place that sells both forms the doctor mentioned that sell online please?
I just found out I’m super deficient I have to start injections. I have no idea this has anything to do with weight! Which is ironic because I’ve been working out like crazy and cutting out sugar completely wasn’t losing any weight. This is all making sense.

Try low dose naltrexone
If you have pernicious anemia. Methylcobalamin is best from what I've heard, especially if your have MTFHR.
I swim every morning at 6ish and I am worn out during the day. 20 Olympic laps at 66yo. I am so tired, I am going to get my first B12 this Monday. I will be able to tell immediately when I do my workout on Tuesday morning.
How were the results
Lets hear how it worked for you
Results, please? Thanks.
What about hydroxocobalamin? That's what my FM MD prescribed at 5mg two times/week.
Awesome video explaining!! Yes B12 did make a difference in my energy level!! I’m also taking Lipo shots in conjunction with it!! Just waiting to see if this helps my weight loss journey..

What about all of the recommendations I've seen online recommending taking it along w/ folic acid? Why? And how much?
Very useful information thankyou doctor
Hi do b12 shots increase anxiety? When you say it helps with energy does that mean you feel as if you had an energy drink or coffee?
I learned the hard way that low levels of B12 cause extreme anxiety and supplementing eased that right off. It also helps with depression.
I haven't seen b12 shots do that.
B12 definitely caused me to have anxiety and heart palpitations.. but I think I took too much
What about l carnitine? I mixed l carnitine with my b12 … can that be taken sq too?
If you dont have that enzyme deficiency, could cyanocobalamin work at 5,000 mcg?

Hello . Where are your other vedeo s on b12 for weight lose .
Could you tell b12 5000mg tablets would work the same like injections ?
No, not in my experience. It's not even close.

It helps every cell of the body no matter what. Its all about methylation so yes.

Thanks doctor. I was very deficient in b12 (35pg/ml). I had about 1500mcg shots about 10 in one month and have been on one injection per month for the last 6 years. Is it sufficient? Can I switch over to 1500mcg per day tablets? Here in India we get only intramuscular b12 shots. Between tablets ,sublingual,patches which is better? One injection I had sometime back was very painful. Thanks.
I am taking intramuscular injections of B12 because my stomach can't absorb B12 from food - it was causing pernicious anemia. So if you have this kind of problem, it's better to take injections.
i use sublingual tablets and my levels are high.,

Could you type down MIC ,what does it stand for or were could I buy it ?

What other supplements do you suggest to use with the B12? @drchilds

Where are you located doctor
Which injectable do you use? I'm in France, hard to find Methylcobalamin. I only find cyanocobalamin
Methylcobalamin is ideal.
@@drwestinchilds Thanks for your answer. Can you give a link to order it? I only find cyanocobalamin in France.
I find that it makes me hungrier like most vitamins
Do endocrinologist give b12 shots ?
They could but they probably wouldn't.
Hi Dr. Child’s! Thank you so much for your channel. Could you also spread out the injections to multiple times Totaling 5000 mg per week?
Please tell me where I can get the B12 shots
any drug store has b12 shots take the air out of the vile and stick it in you butt. Might burn a little but no big deal
You need a prescription from a doctor/PA/NP.
How does it affect breast tissues?
5,000 mcg =5mg? Isn’t that 5 ml? So 1 full 5 ml syringe? That seems like a boatload to inject !
I’ve sent you so many messages I really need your help if we can do a Tele med call that would be great I I have hypothyroidism I’ve been on levothyroxine for two years and I’m gaining weight I’m losing my hair I’m so tired all the time I need help
As far as I know he’s not taking on any more patients for awhile now.
Personally I went to ‘Life Giving Store’ and ordered natural desiccated thyroid. It works well. Monitor your pulse and body temperature & add more or less dosage based on those ranges to keep them balanced. It ships in about two weeks from usa to me here in Canada. Best of luck. I think many of us were in your exact situation. It will get better. Try to take it into your own hands. Or get to a naturopathic doctor if you can afford it.
This might be a silly question but I just stumbled upon your video researching injectable b12 and immediately started shopping around and I noticed Walmart sells a huge bottle for literally a fraction of the price of everywhere else but it's listed as a form for animals and I'm curious if it's one of those situations where it's literally the same thing, much like my dog's meds which are identical to the human version for way less money. I'm literally looking at a 100ml bottle for $6 as opposed to a 50ml bottle of "human" b12 for $125 so I'm like hmm 🤔😅
Would love to know the answer too.
I’m on here for your info, thanks for the content.. also on here .. wow a cute sexy smart guy.. 🙂
Weirdly enough I feel it more SQ vs IM .
Can excess sweating be the cause of vitamin b12 ,vitamin D deficiency ? Doctor
Not that I'm aware of.
Look into thiamine
I'm having such a hard time finding how much I should pull into 100cc syringe! You say 5000 mcg , but wouldn't that only be 5 ccs a week? The lady in your video filled it up to 100! I'm so confused
It depends on the concentration of your B12 and the size of your syringe.
What the doc said. For example, 1mL of liquid in the syringe is a 1,000mcg dose for my b12. The bottle says this, and I have my recommended dose from my doc too.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
