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 Tracomatis And Neisseria Gonorrhoeae, Pcr Qualitative Test

For the past two months, I have been experiencing leg and body pain, along with a persistent feeling of tiredness, especially after office hours. This fatigue is significantly affecting both my personal and professional life. I have been regularly taking calcium (Cipcal 500) and multivitamin (ME 12 OD) supplements. I also underwent a complete blood check-up, and all reports, including Vitamin D levels, came back within normal limits. Despite this, the symptoms persist. I would request suggestions for suitable treatment, homeopathic or Ayurvedic options, if possible. I am also open to allopathic recommendations if needed.
