Clara Plattel is a researcher in Vitamin B12 deficiency and brought the conference proceedings of the 2023 Rotterdam B12 conference  to publication recently.

The conference was called B12 deficiency at the bookends of life: pregnancy, childhood, adults and the elderly, which I think applies to all of us!

An informal opportunity to learn a little bit more and gather some new and updated information.   VENUE: @ Clacey’s Coffee House 12 Sea Road, Fulwell, Sunderland. SR9 6BX

Sally Pacholok is the author of the book “Could it be B12?” and film of her story – “Sally Pacholok”

Sally is an Emergency Department nurse who recognised a lot of people coming into her hospital with a particular cluster of symptoms. She found out that these symptoms are associated with B12 deficiency and launched a nationwide – now global – campaign to raise awareness of the condition and promote early treatment, so that people could live healthy lives. 

Dr David Morris posted a number of videos and articles, so we thought it might be good to get him to answer questions, which means we’re going to suggest you watch a video by him beforehand and submit questions by Mentimeter Watch The Video : Dr Morris on understanding the central role of B12.
As you watch the video, write down what questions it raises for you, and remember to bring your list to the meeting. Dr Morris has followed up hundreds of patients and will be a fount of answers.

One of the failings of medical training seems to be that nutrition is only given a short mention, because in a “developed country”, poor nutrition was considered only a minor risk. With poverty, and the range of fad diets which prioritise price and fashion over nutritional value, I think the medical institutions are beginning to regret this. Anyway, what it comes down to is that there are many charities concerned with poor nutrition, and the Vitamin D interest groups can be some of our closest allies.

Vitamin B12 is unique in that humans can only obtain it in foods of animal origin and it depends upon stomach secretions to be absorbed. Patrick Holford, founder of the Food for the Brain Foundation (foodforthebrain.org), presents new evidence that B12 deficiency is...
