B As Happy As A B!
(c) By Lena Sanchez
A simple little supplement that has such huge ramifications if
your body is devoid of sufficient amounts!
Having suffered from motion sickness for my entire life I was
not anticipating a trip across the ocean, even a short
distance to Catalina Island by boat. Especially since all I
had
to do was walk out on a pier and look down through the
boardwalk to become nauseous even to the point of vomiting
every time... I mentioned this to one of my employees as I
lamented about knowing I would ruin the day with my motion
sickness. She then told me how she combats motion sickness,
one each of B1, B6 & B Complex vitamins taken a couple
of hours before departing and for good measure, the night
before as well... So my husband and I took them the night
before
and again before we left to go to Long Beach to get on the
boat.
Lo and behold, it worked. Had a great trip without an inkling
of
motion sickness, in fact a lot of others were very ill on the
return
ride back, due to a rough seas, but not I nor my husband.
I must have been born B deficient, or at least it seemed that
way, since my childhood was spent with motion sickness
in my fathers wandering travels across country. I no longer
experience motion sickness as I take daily supplemental
vitamins and minerals!
My older daughter had always suffered with canker sores on
her mouth and with my study into B vitamins discovered that
was a common symptom of B deficiency... Now she is free
canker sores!
I soon found a lot of other symptoms that point to a B
vitamin deficiency.
A common classical symptom of B complex deficiency is,
depression and the tendency to cry without any particular
reason, mostly seen in women, is also said to let you know
that you are dangerously lacking in B vitamins and/or a
multitude of minerals and trace minerals.
Research conducted at Tufts suggests that blood levels of
various B vitamins that fall at the lower end of the
"normal"
range can interfere with mental dexterity. A severe
deficiency does not have to be present for memory
impairment to occur. Taking B vitamins particularly B-12,
B-6, folic acid, biotin and niacin may reverse memory
problems, according to the study.
The study participants were given 10 times the RDA of B
vitamins for more than a year and those taking the B
vitamins demonstrated significant improvements in memory.
A vitamin B complex deficiency puts a tremendous level of
stress on the adrenal glands and often those deficient in
the B's will also need adrenal support. Lying down and
resting for five minutes, taking your blood pressure, then
standing immediately and taking the blood pressure again
is a good way to assess low adrenal function. The higher
number of the blood pressure measurement should read at
least ten points greater upon standing, than it was when
lying down. If your blood pressure is not 10 points greater or
if it goes down when you stand up, reduced adrenal function
is suspect. The degree of hypoadrenalism is often
proportionate to the degree the blood pressure drops
(Balch, 1997: 91, 92).
In "Vitamin B Complex in Human Nutrition,"Judith
DeCava,
Ph.D lists many other possible symptoms of a B complex
deficiency are:
mild to severe depression - forgetfulness - vague fears -
uneasiness to panic - mood swings - rage - morbid
thoughts - hostility - restlessness - apprehension - constant
feeling that something dreadful is going to happen -
suspicions - instability -anxiety -mental confusion - noise
sensitivity - inability to handle stress - hearing noises,
voices,
etc. - loss of ability to concentrate - impaired intellect -
loss of
memory - nervousness - weakness - fatigue - lightheadedness
or dizziness - digestive problems - hypochlorhydria
(insufficient
stomach acid production) - constipation or diarrhea - stomach
pains - decreased or increased appetite - craving for sweets -
heart palpitations - chest pains - neuralgia to neuritis -
muscular soreness - pain, tingling or achiness - cold hands
and
feet - heightened sensitivity to touch and/or pain - menstrual
complaints - soreness of the mouth - dermatitis - acne -
burning
or itching eyes - difficulty swallowing - sore throat -
hypochondria - headaches - insomnia or sleep disturbances.
So the question of "To B or Not To B" should point
the way
"To B" if you have any of the symptoms noted
above... It's
cheaper than going through a battery of tests that the doctor
will or should order and fail to detect a B deficiency... If
after
faithfully taking Minerals and B-Complex vitamins for a few
weeks and the symptoms persist then see your doctor!
