I have essential thrombocythemia, a liver mutation resulting in overproduction of platelets. My B is off the chart, my hematologist is unconcerned saying B is stored in the body for long periods. I have switched to plant based and stopped daily multiple vitamins in the last 6 months, haven't had that tested lately.

Hi! Interesting that you referred to liver mutation. There was reference to this as well as the kidney in the research link I received from Colleen. I am also looking at my medical test reports that indicate my continued “sluggish Kidney” and reference to renal insufficiency. If I am storing B12 over the years with my current diet (animal protein vs to plant), it’s back to my earlier reflection that As an alternative I may need to consider a vegan diet. The literatures do indicate that B12 is stored for long periods (many years. They also show that much more research is needed re the anomaly of an elevated B12 score of 865.

Can you share what your plant based nutrition now looks like for you?
