Welcome, our new B12 info forum opens today!
It’s been a while in developing, but If you want an alternative place to talk and to meet others in your situation then please come and join us!
You may have noticed our web address will change from www.b12deficiency.info to www.b12info.com, this will make it easier for you to share without having to spell deficiency – one of those words which always seems to trip people up!
Don’t panic if you have links to the site on your pages we will still own www.b12deficiency.info and people will always be able to find us.
So why start a forum?
When I started my research into B12 deficiency a decade ago I was lucky enough to find a small and friendly Facebook group ran by Canadian, Pat Kornic who has a wealth of experience due to her vast research into her daughter’s deficiency and her previous extensive work with the Pernicious Anaemia Society. Pat’s group only had a couple of hundred members when I joined and it was so lovely to be amongst others who were both learning about and teaching others about their individual experiences.
But I work with many people who have not had that same valuable experience and who don’t want any part of social media. People who have been frightened and overwhelmed by what they have read or have been told and who are daunted by the numerous rules and saddened by the general unfriendliness of large groups.
There is a great Health Unlocked page for pernicious anaemia and B12 deficiency as an alternative to social media and now you can join our B12 info PRIVATE forum if you want to feel safe, secure and supported. There is a membership fee of £15 annually. The aim of the B12 info forum is to create a friendly community where kindness, compassion and respect are uppermost. Users of the website have asked for this forum and now it’s ready, so come on in.

Brilliant idea. I will definitely sign up. The website already has vital information for patients here in the UK. It is well researched & helps patients that ask ”do you think I might have” B12 deficiency, ? right through to ”what steps to take next” ? & blogs that have proved to be very useful for other’s. I personally don’t recommend any other wesbite.
Thank you for your very kind words Michelle!Thanks too for your incredible B12 work!
Very best wishes Tracey x
What a great idea I will definitely sign up.
Hi,
I’ve been talking about Vitamin B12 deficiency for at least 10 to 15 years, also Vitamin D….well many vitamins. Check out Trace Elements, Inc. I did a Hair Analysis in 1989. The person who did it told me I was in bad shape according to my hair analysis. With a change of diet, daily vitamin program, etc., for almost a year, I finally started feeling better….for awhile, until I started having trouble in my marriage, etc. It took a toll on my body…I’m trying to focus on my health. I told my PCP yearly to test my blood. Since 2007. My PCP did no follow up & the dipsh**s in his office never got back to me. So for years, nothing. This year, I made preventative appointments and am focusing on my health…again.
My grandmother had dementia or Alzheimers, & my mother is going through it. I keep telling my sister to have her B12 checked…but it falls on deaf ears. I was constantly researching about it, trying to stay on top of that topic for myself, my family, for my friends. I finally started getting B12 shots, I think 2019 2020, but my hair analysis indicated something from that shot was affecting me. I started taking Prevagen. Well there’s a lot to say, but….hopefully we’ll meet someday….
Congratulations Tracey on providing a valuable forum for all those affected by B12 Deficiency. It is greatly needed. Well done, you.

Thanking you
And so you toil on despite many difficulties your clients are always so grateful and I wish you every success as always
I recall attending your seminar about 6 years ago at Loughborough University when your Canadian guest attended
It was mind blowing and spurred me into encouraging anyone I know with health issues to explore the potential of B12 and indeed other key nutrient deficiencies such as Vit D
The impact on the immune system has had a devastating effect as we’ve seen over the last three year’s
