Re: pernicious anemia

Hello pixiebm,
if you have a B12 deficiency resulting in Pernicious Anemia this is most likely caused by a malabsorption problem.

The absorption of dietary vitamin B12 occurs in the small intestine and requires a secretion from the stomach known as intrinsic factor.
If intrinsic factor is deficient, absorption of vitamin B12 is severely diminished. Vitamin B12 deficiency impairs the body's ability to make blood, accelerates blood cell destruction, and damages the nervous system. The result being pernicious anemia. In the classical definition, PA refers only to B12 deficiency anemia caused by a lack of intrinsic factor.

The one vital thing that inhibits if not prevents the production of Intrinsic Factor is the fermentation and/or the putrefaction of food within the stomach, and where this is mainly caused by eating a "protein food" WITH a "starch food" at the SAME meal.
However, overeating, eating hurriedly or when tired, worried, angry, fearful, grieved, etc. or when you are in pain or have a fever or inflammation, also cause digestive problems and malabsorption/fermentation/putrefaction.

If you only eat one concentrated food at one meal, (according to appetite) and do not combine a protein with a starch at the same meal, your absorption problems will be solved within a relatively short time-frame, and eradicate your Pernicious Anemia, therefore avoiding the need for B12 injections for the rest of your life.

Simple.............but very effective.
