B12 levels are associated with brain functions that can diminish if you do not supply your body with enough B12. If the levels drop then the brain might shrink causing dementia & Alzheimer's.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a VORICONAZOLE ASSAY Test or Take a CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS AND NEISSERIA GONORRHOEAE PCR - QUALITATIVE Test
