"Vitamin B12 and MS – our comment"...UK MS Society
UK MS SOCIETY EDITORIAL
"News stories are carrying a report that suggests that vitamin B12 may help address some symptoms of MS. Some of these stories have even referred to it as a ‘cure’ for MS and other conditions, and others have suggested that people diagnosed with MS may instead have vitamin B12 deficiency.
Previous research has shown a link between B12 and MS. It seems the vitamin plays a part in forming the protective (myelin) sheath of the central nervous system, which is damaged in MS.
Dr Lee Dunster, MS Society head of research, said: “We know that some people with the disease have lower levels of B12 in their blood than the general population and many of them are already prescribed supplements. Dr Chandy’s observations of a small number of people with MS are interesting and merit further and wider investigation. But though B12 deficiency, like some other conditions, has similar symptoms to MS, we do not see any evidence of misdiagnosis from this small sample of MS patients.”
If you have any questions about your B12 levels, you should consult your GP, neurologist or MS nurse."
