A recent study in Japan indicates that B12 treatment helps in the growth and division of certain immune system cells.11 These cells function to prevent the immune system from over-reacting to allergens such as animals, mold, dust, and pollen. They are called suppressor cells or CD8+ lymphocytes. They “put the brakes on the immune system”. this medicationTM is a 21-day treatment of B12 lozenges sucked on twice daily. this medicationTM may help patients with hay fever by providing the patient’s suppressor cells with the sustained and elevated blood B12 level they need to grow and divide. It appears that by helping the immune system to become what it is genetically capable of becoming, asthma this medicationTM turns at treatment least some allergic people into non-allergic asthma or moderately-allergic people.

Studies indicate that ingested oral cyanocobalamin tablets are ineffective in the treatment of allergic disease, perhaps because once ingested, they are directly metabolized in the liver. When B12 is delivered via injection or lozenge it passes throughout the bloodstream before arriving at the liver. It is during this first pass in its native treatment form that it is believed to exert its therapeutic effect. CLINICAL RESEARCH: "The World Health Organization (WHO) asthma recognizes allergic treatment rhinitis (hay fever), sinusitis, asthma,...conjunctivitis, urticaria, eczema, dermatitis (contact and atopic)...allergic and migraine headache...as diseases in which IgE-mediated allergy may be involved."1 asthma In 1988, asthma treatment and allergic rhinitis subjects were treated with B12. Total IgE, specific IgE and pulmonary lung functions were taken at days 45, 150 and 180 from baseline. Eight of the 9 subjects had reduced IgE. 2 In 1989 open label studies at two sites asthma in Riverside County, CA in 1989. Sixteen of the 17 subjects had lowered IgE levels from Day 0 to Day 30.3

In 1990 study in San Diego, CA the 5 active subjects with allergic treatment rhinitis had a lowered total serum IgE from Day 0 to Day 90 while 4 placebo subjects, asthma (2 with allergic rhinitis, 1 with asthma and 1 with both), had flat or increased IgE levels.4 In a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study of symptoms and serum IgE levels in San Diego, CA in mid-1991, subjects had allergic rhinitis and/or asthma. Serum was drawn at Day 0 and Day 30. Seven of the 10 active treatment treated subjects had a reduction in total serum IgE levels. In 10 placebo treated subjects, 5 had levels of total serum IgE that stayed the same (plus or minus 5%), 3 decreased and 2 increased.5 Statistical analysis of the open-label study as well as the double-blind randomized placebo controlled study have shown a significant effect of vitamin B12 in lowering serum IgE concentrations.
