severe peripheral neuropathy and vitamin B6

As we all know the NIH is not always correct. The county of Australia has lowered the limit to now require any supplement with more than 20mg and possibly 12mg b6 must include a warning that this may cause neuropathy. As in other health issues the US is behind other countries. I hope you find good health again. Google "b6 toxicity and Australia". There is also a class action lawsuit against a supplement company in Australia over amount of b6 much less than 200mg.

you sure are right in the US being behind other countries. they took a long time to start suggesting patients use fish oil supplements, for example. the md., like to do.......drugs and surgeries. And i would agree with you also on the NIH not always being correct. BUT NO ONE is ever always correct. That is why some of us keep searching, searching, and then more searching. some people see an ad that says......this is great.........boom! they rush out to buy it. Worse thing they could do. You have to keep reading . I guess an example would be: NIH says b6 is safe under 200 mg.......some else says exactly the opposite. As in every bit of info out there, people, organizations, Dr's., etc no one is going to agree, they will all have their "own" research that was done. So, that , to me, means, we are back to square ONE........which do you believe? For me, I have to go with the one I trust most. As others have to go with the ones They trust most. I's like a circle, without an end. You just keep going round n round, looking...........here is a bit of humor from the past: a few years ago i was standing in line at a convenience store. The customer and clerk had a quick lil conversation and the customer made this......good grief, believe it or not comment.........she said, i like buying foods with preservatives in them. I think if it can preserve food, that the preservatives will also do the same for me...............I had to hold in my laughter..........needless to say, she was one, who hears something, and jumps right on it, because someone said................and she was serious , not joking................ps, aprx 25 yrs ago, one alternative Dr., did have me on 200 mg b vitamins for a couple of weeks. I was tested as having low levels, and they needed to bring them up. after the level was reached, i have been on from 50 to 100 mg of the complex nearly every day. At 82, with no drugs or surgeries, I only have 2 problems.......my eyes..........and the weakness in my legs, which i will be seeking treatments to help strengthen them. But, that is just me..........as we know, we all re act differently to things.
