> I forgot to ask, what were her numbers? Do you think all of us should get standard vitamin and mineral tests and shoot for the upper levels of the standard reference ranges?
Two tests:
2008 B12 379 (range 243-894) pg/ml
2010 B12 364 (range 211-946) pg/mlAs you can see, another complication is that supposedly normal ranges are prone to variation depending on the lab or the time in history. In any case, her levels were within normal range and it was shrugged off as a non-issue by the doctors.
I don't have my actual numbers handy, but my two most recent B12 tests were at least as low as hers or lower.
Another indicator of chronic hidden disease is low vitamin D, despite taking vitamins, dairy, and sunshine. If D is low, something is wrong.
