WEIGHT LOSS V-B12 SHOTS

Question
ARE VITAMIN B-12 SHOTS SAFE AND EFFICIENT FOR WEIGHT LOSS WILE BEING UNDER A DOCTORS OBSERVATIONS.

Answer
Dear Sonia,

I can only presume, with fervent hope, that these B12 injections were not recommended to you by your GP to specifically promote weight loss. This would be preposterous. Occasionally B12 needs to be medically administered when a deficiency has shown up. This is a separate issue to weight-loss programmes. The deficiency can show up after drastic dieting (starvation); also, therefore,  more prevalent in developing countries. Otherwise it is, either, hereditary (intrinsic impairment to absorb B12 causing psychotic disorders or nervous-system debilitations), or creeps up on vegans for their egg- and milk-free diet. Vegetarians may suffer minor deficiencies from time to time, but a supplementary tablet will suffice while the diet is adjusted. A tapeworm may also rob you of B12, but as in the above instances, you need to treat the cause of a deficiency first and foremost, and never rely on supplements where simple corrections can be made..

I am vaguely  familiar with the latest fad that intends to speed up weight loss by stimulating the metabolism to work faster, and find this from a holistic point of view very dangerous and misguided. No single product, vitamin, or other element can bring about weight loss in a safe and healthy manner. Introducing an excess of B12, a substance that is generated by animals alone (in milk, eggs, or their flesh), could carry more complications with it than we realise fully, yet. Holistic science, already, betrays that a recourse to vitamin injections with the aim of overstimulating is a symptom of impatience, insensitivity, and ignorance. These are big, fat and ugly words, which must be modified if we are to accept them. The best way to do this is by stopping your current plan for a sec and reviewing your life-style from a different angle.

Diet, a healthy eating regime,  is the way in which we relate our inner worlds (organs, mind, soul) to the outer world. Anything intravenous (injections directly into the blood or blood rich body parts - muscles) is a short-cut. Sometimes life-saving, thereby, often used therapeutically in anthroposophical medicine (with homeopathic concoctions),  but in many instances under false understandings, which promote a false sense of independent control and self-obsessive subjectivity. This in turn, collectively and for each individual, sets up a chain reaction of false expectations, isolation and sorrow in the end. Even if you are surrounded by hundreds of people and have lots of money. You will be lonely in your heart and feel disconnected from the Higher Meaning to life. (Which is never presented to you on a golden platter - or you are deluded too!).

Eventhough the amount of pounds you weigh is some kind of measure of your health, just like happiness or success, they remain relative. The root cause of obesity is a failure to know and honor your true needs. Modern man feels too proud to embrace and respect moderation and temperance. There is little point in measuring out your whole life in cups or ounces: it is about walking th middle path. Calm composure and a dedication to pure ideals all contribute to an inner balance which will be reflected in your natural (comfortable) weight. Sometimes there is no way to deal with physical problems, be they cosmetic or more sturctural. Then we have to transcend them by using mind over matter.

Supplements always carry the risk of divorcing yourself from a holistic sense of being. Chemical components (such as vitamins) are reflections of higher principles. They have been created in matter by the cosmic laws. They reverberate a heavenly music.Modern bio-chemists just don't hear tones when they study patterns under the microscope.

Iindividual deficiencies or bio-chemical abnormalities are but reflections of an imbalance within our ENTIRE system. Modern man has great difficulties in being pro-active in digesting and transforming matter into more spiritual life-enhancing substance. Obesity has much to do with the fact that too much energy/emotion gets stuck in the head or sexual organs, which in turn stimulates matter over mind. The physical will grow (obesity), become more outlined (size zero) or seemingly prosper (body building) but at the dire cost of the soul (and quality of mind). The modern human-race is losing its lyrical potential. It is out of touch with its middle, mediating, rhythmic region (where the heart resides). The displaced energy should be working in the metabolic processes. But poor diets have made it redundant in that area. This fundamental problem, causing many major health issues can only be solved by reintroducing the energy into the lower pole of the metabolic organs.

So, in answer to your question, accepting (if not comprehending how) B12 injections are the way forward for you, I must remind you to check with yourself if you understand the bigger picture, too.

Perhaps it may inspire you to bear in mind that we, already,  cannot see B12 in isolation to the whole vitamin B group, espeically B1 and B6. This B-group is specifically of massive importance to our metabolic system. Ingested in the right foods they can bring that lacking energy into your processing system.  The B-group is an expression of the cosmic structuring principles, therefore helping our microcosmic inner worlds create order out of chaos. Realise, the main function of the digestive system is to make human building blocks out of foreign substance (the soup in your tummy). This takes complex and subtle PROCESSES (not substances). Keeping these processes in tip top working order is a tall order and the fundamental task of our homeostatic principle (health-maintenance faculty). Chemical compounds enable but do not inspire the processes. Superior health, that which can overcome innate (genetic) dispositions/tendencies and external (malign) influences/circumstances depends on a life-force which can only be derived from healthy food and a well-balanced mind.

For whatever reason you need to have intravenous treatment, please also work on the other side of your veins. A less direct approach. A most vital one.

Take good care of yourself in any case,
love Evelyn.
