NUTRITIONAL CURE FOR PERNICIOUS ANAEMIA

A Vitamin B12 deficiency produces pernicious anaemia, also called Biermer’s disease, characterized by three main symptoms:

– anaemia and resulting problems

– digestive problems (diarrhoea, anorexia)

– neurological problems (paresthesis and other disorders).

Main sources of Vitamin B12 are:

– liver, kidney, meat

– brewer’s yeast

– egg yolk

– milk and dairy products

– oysters

Vegetables contain no Vitamin B12, which is why a strictly vegetarian (vegan) diet, containing no animal products whatsoever (no eggs, butter, milk, etc.) can be dangerous.
