Has anyone heard of this and/or tried the MB12 shots/nasal spray?

There's a bunch of videos at this link showing people being interviewed before and after MB12 treatment.

At this link, there is a lot more information about the MB12 nasal spray. Stan Kurtz is the guy who created the spray. Also, below the link, I've quoted from the site some of the conditions that MB12 is reported to help with.

Observations

Based on videos that Stan has published of trials of MB12, if the person is a MB12 Responder, it also appears to help, sometimes dramatically, with:

* ADHD symptoms
* Memory
* Anxiety
* Chronic fatigue
* Dyslexia
* Depth Perception
* Viewing Color
* Speech (finding words, apraxia, articulation, etc)
* Socialization
* Mood
* Behavior
* Sleep Regulation
* Depression
* Neurotransmitter function
* Autoimmune symptoms
* Chemical Sensitivity
* Digestion
* Viral Infections
* Inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, sciatica, fibromyalgia
* Asthma
* Irritable bowel
* Colitis
* Eye or muscle "twittering"
* Tinnitus
* Nail bitting
* Migraines
* Visual and auditory processing
* Modulation of light
* Night vision
* Improved ability to process sounds and modulate background noise
* Assisting in nerve growth
* Blocking the effects of ethanol
* Greatly reduces the desire for alcohol, coffee, marijuana, methamphetamines, and possibly many other addictive drugs and behavior


Stan Kurtz has set up a Yahoo group for people to share their reports on the spray.


I'd be interested to hear if anyone has any stories of using MB12 shots or nasal spray.

BTW, apparently MB12(Methylcobalamin) is different than your standard B12 supplements. I don't think B12 supplements have shown any results like what has been presented on the recoveryvideos.com site. I think it's because Methylcobalamin crosses the blood-brain barrier, but standard B12 supplements do not. Don't quote me on that, though!

the methylcobalamin form of B12 can be found in a pill form, are they saying that is not as effective as the shots or spray, because in those forms, it goes directly into the bloodstream? This is cool stuff! Thanks for sharing. Let us know what you further find with this stuff.

Yes, I think that's the idea. Here's some info from Stan's site about intranasal(spray) vs sublingual(dissolved under the tongue).


Why Intranasal?

In an informal study at Great Plains Laboratories , they were unable to raise MB12 levels significantly in individuals using sublingual administration. Many anecdotal reports show that responders of MB12 Nasal Spray typically do not respond to sublingual or oral use. Out of thousands of MB12 reports from the MB12Valtrex group only a few people have reported benefits from sublingual MB12. Some researchers suspect certain genetic issues associated enzyme activity prevents the metabolism from gaining access to MB12 through sublingual or oral administration. We believe that a deficiency of certain types of bacteria in the intestinal flora and mucosa may have a possible role.

Are you going to try it?

I'm thinking about it. It'll be a least a month before I'll be able to order it, though. Kind of in a financial bind right now.

From watching some of those videos, it seems like it definitely has some kind of effects to it. I'm excited to try it and I would love it if I could replace my Adderall with this. Trying not to get my hopes up, though.

I wish I could find some more anecdotal evidence so I'd be more confident in trying it. I guess the worst thing that could happen is it won't help my symptoms, though. It seems to be a safe substance.

Best of luck with it, DeSpirit! I had taken the pill form for a while as a supplement, and it did nada for me. I know getting things in the other ways the body uses and metabolizes quite differently. I have never heard of the therapy you posted, it is interesting.
