Vitamin B12

Is it important for a vegan to be concerned about vitamin B12?

This important question came to my attention when I came across a video of a woman who gave up a raw vegan diet because she had a B12 deficiency. This subject is a very important one that shouldn't be ignored because it can cost our health.

The answer I give is not based on my opinion but is based on the research of my uncle Dr. Milton G. Crane MD who was an endocrinologist and the director of research at one of the oldest vegan whole plant food health recovery medical institutes, Weimar Institute in Northern California. He told my husband and I that even meat eaters can have a B12 deficiency. His recommendation was not milk, eggs, cheese or dead animals. His recommendation was to take B12 supplements---the dots that go under the tongue. He said that it has to be mixed with the saliva to get the benefit so the dots are ideal for that reason.

A simple supplement is far safer than any animal product and will save us from serious nerve damage.
