This book is a life saver.
I have pernicious anaemia and soon after diagnosis searched on Amazon for a relevant book. Luckily this had just been published. Sally explains all the different 'faces' of lack of B12. Why it's so important to the body and how easily it gets mixed-up with other diagnosis.
Sally explains about her own diagnosis and from her experience as a nurse in a busy out-patients, the multitude of conditions that are 'caused' by lack of B12.
Soon after I was diagnosed a member of my family started to get dementia symptoms and if I hadn't got this book I would never have known what was wrong. It gave me the courage to insist on blood tests and get the treatment that was needed.
It has all the facts you need and more. What types of supplements to take and how, what tests are needed, how it can be mistaken for other illnesses, who might have a risk profile and what steps to take to getting healthy.
I am eternally grateful for her wonderful guide:)

This is a clear, concise, easy to read book covering all you need to know about B12. It was a real eye opener to me after I was eventually diagnosed as having a B12 deficiency.
I have found the medical profession to be rather ignorant about this vital vitamin and the symptoms of a deficiency. This book equips you with all you need to know about symptoms and treatment of a deficiency. It is the only easy to read book that I could find on the subject to answer all your questions.
If you are suffering from depression or other sudden changes to your emotional/mental state or just not quite feeling yourself, I would highly recommend that you get hold of a copy of this book.
Without it I would have been on Prozac thanks to a 'catch all' diagnosis of depression rather than the real issue which was a B12 deficiency.

Very much overlooked by doctors. B12 has proven to be essential in prolonging our health and wellbeing. Mental health is very much misdiagnosed in the elderly and a cocktail of serious drugs is too readily given and this is followed by detrimental side-effects and proven to shorten life. Records of B12 back in the 1950s have been extremely successful in treatment of deficiencies like anemia and mental health and heart related conditions very successfully. We live in a culture that revolves around alcohol. Alcohol seriously depleats this essential vitamin. B12 is also know to help sleep disorders by affecting melatonin production during the night.
Every elderly person (not on serious medication?) should make sure that they have foods with b12 or have supplements to keep the shrinks away!

A large book of over 300 pages. I was expecting page after page of blah, blah, blah, with the odd interesting fact thrown in. The opposite was the case. Read more
