Vitamin B12 Deficiency: What People Need to Know 

Everything You Need to Know about Vitamin B12 Deficiency We became vitamin B12 deficient when we were traveling abroad in Malaysia in 2018. It began slowly and progressed over time. Initially, we were just tired and lethargic, but that developed into gastrointestinal problems including chronic constipation and diarrhea. All of us had different problems, as it is with most vitamin deficiency issues. John struggled with his stomach and digestion while I struggled with my mood and thinking. Lydian was tired all the time. And then one day, I started reading about vitamin B12 deficiency and dementia for an uncle who had been diagnosed recently with Lewy Body Dementia and realized as I was reading books and research articles that my own family had a lot of these symptoms. I’d thought we were im...

Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B12 Treatment for Post-Vaccine Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

Vitamin Therapy for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Other Dysautonomia Disorders Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, otherwise known as POTS, is a disorder that sometimes develops following vaccination. Specifically, cases of POTS have been noted in young people following receipt of the Gardasil (HPV) vaccine. Symptoms of POTS include dizziness, fainting, rapid heartbeat, headaches, problems with memory, concentration, or thinking, and general fatigue of feelings of weakness, among others. According to conventional medicine, POTS cannot be cured (though it sometimes “goes away” over time).  In one group of otherwise healthy adolescents, one physician observed the development of POTS immediately following vaccination with Gardasil. The adolescents were tes...

Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Post-Vaccine and Post-COVID Transverse Myelitis and Demyelinating Disease

Transverse Myelitis, Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis, and Other Post-Vaccine Demyelination Diseases Transverse myelitis is a disorder that occurs when both sides of an area of the spinal cord become inflamed. The inflammation in transverse myelitis often leads to destruction of the myelin sheaths on the nerve cell, or even nerve cell death. This can cause symptoms such as chronic pain, muscle weakness, sensory problems, urinary retention or incontinence, bowel dysfunction, or even paralysis. Infection or other concurrent immune system disorders are generally considered to be the primary causes of transverse myelitis (COVID-19 is among the viral and bacterial diseases that can cause the onset of transverse myelitis, so it can be reasoned that the COVID-19 vaccine or vaccines for other...

Post-COVID Vaccine Psychotic Disorders: Niacin and Vitamin B12 Treatment Option

Psychosis and Psychotic Disorders: One of the Little-Known Side Effects of Vaccines Though rare, there have been reports of psychosis and other psychotic disorders following vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccine, as well as following vaccination with yellow fever, rabies, typhus, and pertussis vaccines. One report of a 31-year-old man who received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine notes that he developed symptoms of psychosis shortly after receiving the vaccine, and his symptoms worsened significantly following the second dose of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.  For individuals who develop psychosis or psychotic disorders following vaccination, vitamin B3 (niacin) may be the first line of defense/treatment. Dr. Abram Hoffer, an expert in orthomolecular medicine, has successfully treated many peop...

Using Vitamins and Minerals for Holistic Male Infertility Treatment

Nutrition, including both a healthy diet and nutritional supplementation, is extremely important for promoting male fertility. Supplements to Increase Fertility in Men Male fertility and infertility is generally discussed less than female fertility, but for many couples, issues of male fertility are just as important as those of female fertility. And indeed, male sperm quality and the health of the father is also important for an embryo’s development and the child’s health after pregnancy. Although, admittedly, the father’s health at the time of conception doesn’t play quite as significant of a role as the mother’s health (the mother is literally feeding the child from her own body during pregnancy and afterward, after all), male health before pregnancy can still be important for the ba...

How to Use B Vitamins to Reduce Autism Symptoms Naturally The Origami of Autism: Transforming 2-Dimensional Thinking about ASD into 3-Dimensional Solutions - BUY HERE! Once classified as a single disorder, autism is now viewed along a spectrum. Children on the autism spectrum may exhibit problems with communicating (both verbally and nonverbally), understanding other people’s communication, and may not approach developmental milestones as quickly or as soon as other children. They may also be “socially awkward” to varying degrees (having trouble with concentration, maintaining eye contact, learning and following socially acceptable behaviors, etc). A large number of scientific studies and anecdotal reports indicate that autism and nutritional deficiencies go hand-in-hand. Children...

The ADHD Diet: Using Diet and Nutrition to Heal The Symptoms of ADHD/ADD

What to Eat on the ADHD Diet An ADHD diet can incorporate a broad range of healthy foods. The Ketogenic Diet can be a good option during the 5-month recovery period when a child is taking supplements and using Mucuna, since this diet incorporates plenty of proteins that they need to heal. However, it’s important to keep in mind the rules that I discuss below on what to not eat (i.e. just because you follow the keto diet doesn’t mean you can eat junk food… but your child could eat more homemade, whole-ingredient based deviled eggs if that’s what they’re craving).  If you choose to implement a broader diet plan for your child and family, here are some foods to make sure that you incorporate in on a daily basis (when possible):  Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables - Does yo...
