Thanks for the links Jan. I hadn't seen you posting much for a while, and I am glad to see you back. You were missed. I always appreciate your insights and knowledge.
I have been thinking about about this for a while. And, actually, not just in regard to B-12, but also the deleterious effects sub-clinical deficiencies in other vitamins and minerals can have on a person's physiological well-being (bearing in mind that no two people will repond/react the same way of course). I guess what bothers me a bit is that doctors do not (I am probably generalizing here) take as seriously and treat sub-clinical deficiencies as a matter of course. As long as the patient is in the normal range (even if it is the very low end of the normal range), then everything should be ok.
Thanks again, and take care.
Tamara
