Vitamin B12 deficiency is a cause of megaloblastic anemia. In this type of anemia, red blood cells are larger than normal and the ratio of nucleus size to cell cytoplasm is increased. There are other potential causes of megaloblastic anemia, including folate deficiency or various inborn metabolic disorders. If the cause is B12 deficiency, then treatment with B12 is the standard approach. Patients with anemia should be evaluated by a physician in order to diagnose and address the underlying cause.
Pernicious anemia
Pernicious anemia (blood abnormality) is a form of anemia that occurs when there is an absence of intrinsic factor, a substance normally present in the stomach. Vitamin B12 binds with intrinsic factor before it is absorbed and used by the body. An absence of intrinsic factor prevents normal absorption of B12 and may result in pernicious anemia. Pernicious anemia treatment is usually lifelong; supplemental vitamin B12 given intramuscularly, intranasally, or by mouth.
Vitamin B12 deficiency
Studies have shown that a deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to abnormal neurologic and psychiatric symptoms. These symptoms may include: ataxia (shaky movements and unsteady gait), muscle weakness, spasticity, incontinence, hypotension (low blood pressure), vision problems, dementia, psychoses, and mood disturbances. Researchers report that these symptoms may occur when vitamin B12 levels are just slightly lower than normal and are considerably above the levels normally associated with anemia. People at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency include strict vegetarians, elderly people, breastfed infants, and people with increased vitamin B12 requirements associated with pregnancy, thyrotoxicosis, hemolytic anemia, hemorrhage, malignancy, liver or kidney disease. Administering vitamin B12 orally, intramuscularly, or intranasally is effective for preventing and treating dietary vitamin B12 deficiency.
Alzheimer's disease
Some patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease have been found to have abnormally low vitamin B12 levels in their blood. However, vitamin B12 deficiency itself often causes disorientation and confusion and thus mimics some of the prominent symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Well-designed clinical trials are needed before a strong recommendation can be made.
Angioplasty
Some evidence suggests that folic acid plus vitamin B12 and pyridoxine daily can decrease the rate of restenosis in patients treated with balloon angioplasty. But this combination does not seem to be as effective for reducing restenosis in patients after coronary stenting. Due to the lack of evidence of benefit and potential for harm, this combination of vitamins should not be recommended for patients receiving coronary stents.
Breast cancer
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University report that women with breast cancer tend to have lower vitamin B12 levels in their blood serum than do women without breast cancer. In a subsequent review of these findings, it was hypothesized that vitamin B12 deficiency may lead to breast cancer because it could result in less folate being available to ensure proper DNA replication and repair. Higher dietary folate intake is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer. The risk may be further reduced in women who also consume high amounts of dietary vitamin B12 in combination with dietary pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and methionine. However, there is no evidence that dietary vitamin B12 alone reduces the risk of breast cancer.
Cardiovascular disease/hyperhomocysteinemia
Hyperhomocysteinemia (high homocysteine levels in the blood) is a risk factor for coronary, cerebral, and peripheral atherosclerosis, recurrent thromboembolism, deep vein thrombosis, myocardial infarction (heart attack), and ischemic stroke. Elevated homocysteine levels may be a marker instead of a cause of vascular disease. However, it is not clear if lowering homocysteine levels results in reduced cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Folic acid, pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and vitamin B12 supplementation can reduce total homocysteine levels; however, this reduction does not seem to help with secondary prevention of death or cardiovascular events such as stroke or myocardial infarction in people with prior stroke. More evidence is needed to fully explain the association of total homocysteine levels with vascular risk and the potential use of vitamin supplementation.
Fatigue
There is some evidence that intramuscular injections of vitamin B12 given twice per week might improve the general well-being and happiness of patients complaining of tiredness or fatigue. However, fatigue has many potential causes. Well-designed clinical trials are needed before a recommendation can be made.
High cholesterol
Some evidence suggests that vitamin B12 in combination with fish oil might be superior to fish oil alone when used daily to reduce total serum cholesterol and triglycerides. Well-designed clinical trials of vitamin B12 supplementation alone are needed before a conclusion can be drawn.
Imerslund-Grasbeck disease
Administering vitamin B12 intramuscularly seems to be effective for treating familial selective vitamin B12 malabsorption (Imerslund-Grasbeck disease). Further research is needed to confirm these results.
Shaky-leg syndrome
Preliminary clinical reports show that cyanocobalamin may help relieve tremor associated with shaky-leg syndrome. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
Sickle cell disease
One study suggests that a practical daily combination may include folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6. This combination may be a simple and relatively inexpensive way to reduce these patients' inherently high risk of endothelial damage. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
Circadian rhythm sleep disorders
Taking vitamin B12 orally, in methylcobalamin form, does not seem to be effective for treating delayed sleep phase syndrome. Supplemental methylcobalamin, with or without bright light therapy, does not seem to help people with primary circadian rhythm sleep disorders.
Lung cancer
Preliminary evidence suggests that there is no relationship between vitamin B12 status and lung cancer.
Stroke
In people with a history of stroke, neither high dose vitamin B12 combinations containing pyridoxine, vitamin B12, and folic acid nor low dose combinations containing pyridoxine, vitamin B12, and folic acid seem to affect risk of recurring stroke.
Leber's disease
Vitamin B12 is contraindicated in early Leber's disease, which is a hereditary optic nerve atrophy.

Economic Coaching
The challenge to learn the art and science of individual change is now paramount to any group success.
Lasting, productive change efforts require significant changes in behavior to succeed. Most change management projects also require fundamental shifts in people's mindsets, culture, relationships, language, and other aspects of how people work with each other. Yet, most of today's change efforts still attempt to mandate changes in people from the outside in, through strategies such as the threat of job loss, new performance standards, or replacing old systems with new ones. However, any change effort will only succeed if people choose to change. Personal change only works if people commit to the process of change -for themselves.
Without support and guidance however, people are reluctant to risk or invest in the new behaviors. When an organization's leaders overtly model the new behaviors first, they create a safe environment for their managers and employees to also embrace change. As today's organizations require shifts in thinking and behavior in order to succeed, their leaders need to accept their responsibility to walk the talk they are asking of the organization.
Despite the efforts of well-intentioned change management professionals, most of their education and training efforts do not produce sustainable changes in behavior.
2. Many academic and journalistic accounts have demonstrated the effect of layoff on workers. But, the latest research demonstrates, layoff survivors are themselves not immune to the negative effects of downsizing and experience declines in work performance and quality of life.
Recent studies show that the symptoms of layoff survivor's syndrome are highly correlated with workers' perceptions of downsizing. Because of declining job satisfaction and job commitment caused by layoffs, productivity may in fact decline. This is an unintended consequence of restructuring.
Unsurprisingly, economic woes are simply a wake-up call for leaders to challenge themselves and their teams to best manage the worry and despair and achieve even more ambitious results through rigorous self-awareness and the new possibilities that go with it. Uncovering the beliefs and assumptions underlying behavior and results and replacing them with higher-performing choices via coaching is now a must for today's leaders and managers to navigate through the choppy economic waters.
Businesses especially need to train their managers to also become coaches during economic downturns.
Coaching and building strong teams is one of the key ways companies can survive through a downturn and also build their business. BCI believes that the increased enrollment of managers in coach training courses we are experiencing shows that business leaders are seriously beginning to rethink the ways in which they will have to run a business in the future.
Now, more than ever before, organizations need the leadership that only economic coaching can provide. View the video below for more information on how we can help.

Economic Coach
Despite a changed economic environment recruiters confirm in a recent industry report that the jobs market for learning and development specialists is robust, and should stay that way.
Coaching is now the most popular leadership development tool:
Latest data points to a particular demand for management development and talent succession expertise. Also confirmed is an increase in organizations looking for contractors with executive coaching skills to "develop senior managers to lead their teams more effectively." It also seems that more and more L&D professionals "have taken coaching qualifications in the market today".
Large organizations to have own coaching departments in near future:
"In 10 years' time there will be coaching departments in companies" The report adds such coaching departments will report to chief learning officers (CLOs), who will manage learning and development activities and have a seat on the board. Most companies it noted should "have a CLO in five years' time".
The report added that HR directors may well report to CLOs as companies re-structured their boards to give more prominence to learning and development and related activities. In the upper end of the coaching market it was claimed that 80% of that market was executive and leadership coaching, with business coaching accounting for around 20%.

Stress Relief with Nutrients
How Nutrients Help Relieve Stress
Stress is defined as change that is seen by your body or mind as a threat – large or small, imaginary or real – or a change in your environment that triggers a rapid use of your reserves. Stress creates a demand on your resources. Soon, these resources become exhausted and you get sick.
Distress can come from your environment, your body or your mind. Rather than being just a single event, stress accumulates over time from all three sources. It strangles the joy and pleasure from your days and nights. It makes you miserable, and then it makes you sick. Once you are sick, stress keeps you from responding as well to medical care. Yes, stress is a killer!
Nutrients to the rescue
The opposite of stress is homeostasis. So, while stress is constantly trying to pull you apart, homeostasis is constantly working to put you back together. Homeostasis is the priority process your body uses to combat stress.
Vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are essential for homeostasis. If we have the nutrients we need at the moment we need them, we will thrive! Conversely, if we do not have the proper nutrient base in our system every day we will suffer loss of energy, poor mental performance and an increased risk for disease.
Supplements
The word supplement means an addition to something to make up for a deficiency. All supplements are an important addition to a healthy diet. They make up for the deficiency we face because of poor nutrient density in our foods. They also help out when we miss the mark of diet perfection.
Supplements are no substitute for good dietary choices. We simply must commit ourselves to eating a healthy diet. As you review your food choices for the past week, ask yourself, "Did I eat the right amount of fruits and vegetables every day?"
* 5 servings for children
* 7 servings for women
* 9 servings for men
If you can say "yes" – congratulations! If you are like most people you did not reach that goal. And, if you are like most of us, you did not eat all of your fruits and vegetables from an organic source; so, the fruits and vegetables may have been of low nutrient value.
We need a multiple nutrient supplement every day to serve as a foundation for health and to combat the nutrient demands of a stressful life.
A new supplement
Staying on top of our nutrient reserve is important. Our body makes millions of new cells every day – heart cells, brain cells, bone and blood cells. Stress kills millions of vulnerable cells every day. Every time a cell dies it should be replaced. If you do not have the right amount of nutrients to construct a new cell, you will either make an incomplete cell or none at all. The outcome is bad in either case; so, we really need to keep all nutrients on board at all times. This is why we created Sonoran Bloom™ Wellavoh™ (wel-lah voh), a new multi-nutrient complex for men and women.
The destructive forces of stress come from inside and outside your body. The nutrient complexes of Wellavoh can help you build a bulwark against stress as it tries to pull you apart. Wellavoh supports homeostasis as the innate wisdom of your body tries to keep you functioning at your peak.
One more reason…
Perhaps an even more important reason exists for maintaining a robust supply of nutrients in our system daily. According to a recent report, chemical switches on our DNA are activated by nutrients. If a single nutrient is missing at the critical moment it is needed, one of these chemical switches will fail. This results in a change in our DNA that promotes disease – for up to three generations of our children! So, it is vital that we and our children have our nutrients available every day to reduce the impact of stress while promoting vitality today, health tomorrow and a solid wellness foundation for generations to come!
