Hello, my dad (age 50 years) experiences extreme anger. Due to this, we conducted a complete profile test including blood test, vitamin test, and urine test before and after food, but we were not satisfied. Vitamin B12 estimation shows serum B12 of 217. Please suggest which homeopathic medicine to take to control the vitamin B12?

Hi Sir or Madam, I was having strange sensation on my whole body but after taking Neurobion Forte I am feeling well. Suddenly it started again and after 2 days it went away as I continued the medicine. My question is how long should I take this medicine? Or should I switch to injection or other medicines? This is my blood report.
