But when I look up intrinsic factor problems, which is my problem, it says that B12 deficiency causes it, so which came first, the chicken or the egg?
This is evidenced by noted by naturapaths that say they can recreate intrinsic factor/stomach acid by B vitamin suppliments. Is it just about a snowball rolling down hill, one's body get's low on B's so it stops making stomach acid, which makes it absorb even less, which makes it even LOWER again still. Or is there some magic original disease that pernicious Anemia is??????
