Did anyone understand the article on the main board about the dangers of B12 for people with HCV? Since I'm injecting it, I'm getting a pretty potent dose.
Thanks for bringing that to our attention MAK! I had no idea either... cyanide.... That's rather surprising and fascinating.
I found this link above that says another type of B12 called hydroxocobalamin is actually used now and approved by the FDA in 2006 specifically for cyanide poisoning of all things. Hmmm....
Apparently, it actually binds to any cyanide in the body so it can be safely excreted.... Wow! It's amazing how things work.
from that link: Although not a common cause of poisoning, natural sources can produce cyanide poisoning when taken in large quantities or when they are packaged as alternative medicines, such as Laetrile. Cyanide occurs naturally in amygdalin, a cyanogenic glucoside. Amygdalin occurs in low concentrations in the seeds and fruit pits (eg, apple seeds, cherry pits, bitter almonds, and apricot pits) of Prunus species.
