Natural high levels of B12 and B6

Hi Ray,
Just noticed a comment by you or someone about the confusion surrounding B6. So, I looked at my first (and only at this point B6) lab report. It was for Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate which is the form of B6 in EB-N3-5 from EMB Medical. My reading was 357.7 with normal ranges from 20 to a high of 125. So I was really off the chart. Hence, I never started the EBM product. Your labs are substantially different, and I suspect not for Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate, but for Pyroxidine HCL which unfortunately I self-ordered for my pending test, not knowing the difference; your labs may be fine. But it will be interesting to see what my new reading says in any case. The first test was over $400 and Medicare would not pay for it, so I thought I would game the system at $69 by ordering it myself from Direct Labs (Quest). This is a situation where it appears neither we the patients nor the doctors know a whole lot, except that too much B6 is neurotoxic -- most agree on that, but not the form of it and how one has high readings; indeed, is it another medical issue altogether? In the meantime, we suffer. BTW, my zip code is 80134!

Hi, Frank

Confusing business, isn't it? Every time I think I'm approaching some understanding, it seems I get knocked back a quarter-mile or two. I did gain quite a bit from that article Moderator John sent earlier,

I have to cut this short. We're having an early supper this evening.

80134, eh? That's Parker, isn't it? I'm in 80210, near D.U.
