B-12 deficiency is caused by a Virus

The best thing for a B-12 deficiency is Blue Green Algae and Dairy products. Also, buy sublingual B-12s from Trader Joe's especially if you are over 50. Sublingual means you are bypassing the stomach by putting it under your tongue so it goes into your blood stream directly through the saliva glands into the blood stream under the tongue through cell salts. Because not getting enough B-12 over 50 is one of the reasons people get B-12 deficiency is that human stomachs often cannot process any B-12 vitamins or other B vitamins through the stomach when over 50 years of age. Some people it is even younger like 40. So, getting enough B-12 so your brain continues to work and doesn't go into senile dementia over 50 for many people is a real challenge. Because your brain cannot think straight without enough B-12.

Another thing my friend was telling me is that Organic milk from Trader Joe's has LDL which is the good fat your body needs. They made the wrong call in the 1970s when they said all fats were bad. It turns out now that the LDLs in organic milk from places like Trader Joe's has the LDLs in place still that is good for you.

However, this isn't true of the organic milk that is skim or 1% or 2% so you have to get whole organic milk to benefit from the good LDLs that help your body function better. I was very surprised to learn this recently.

    My friend didn't have many serious health problems except things he picked up traveling around the world like malaria and stuff like that over the years so he was surprised to find he was seriously B-12 deficient and so was his girlfriend for some reason too. It is possible they both were sharing the same virus that caused their B-12 deficiency.
