Jan,
You are bright; never believe otherwise!!
An increase in the amount of L-methylfolate (Deplin) in the brain cell requires an increase of B12 in order to avoid methyl trap hypothysis. Further, if B12 deficiency does occur, a condition of megaloblastic anemia would not become obvious and the vitamin B12 deficiency would be masked.
For a fuller discussion of this issue, read page 5 of the following link. The text is complicated, so read, re-read, and read again. Just skip the words you do not know, or look them up in an online medical dictionary. The diagrams are your friends. Use the diagrams to follow along as you read the text.
