I created a child theme based on twenty-ten. Right now it has a blank functions.php and a style.css with only the following content (in addition to the default things necessary for a child theme):
#branding {
.home .sticky {
background-color: #DDDDDD;
I'm using the latest version of chrome-beta to view it. The child theme is enabled. No caching plugin is enabled. But when I change the css (for example, if I change the left:-9997px; to left:-9999px;), hit the update button and then view my site, the css isn't updated. Hitting ctrl-F5 to flush the browser's cache and refresh doesn't update the css. The browser still shows -9997. If I wait 5 or 10 minutes and then hit ctrl-F5, the css will have updated.
5 or 10 minutes isn't a big deal once the editing is done, but it makes it impossible to see if the changes I'm making are having any affect. Is there something else I need to do to get the new css rules to pass through to the browser?

New Compaq 6305 Microtower - want to switch to RAID mode
I have a new Hp Compaq 6305 Microtower shipped with factory restore disks for Windows 7. All is good, except I want to enable SATA-RAID mode in the BIOS - and as soon as I do it fails to boot.
It is obviously because the image on there does not ship with the RAID drivers installed or pre-loaded prior to windows starting.
How can I get the drivers installed ?
Or is there an alrernative factory restore disk available that has a RAID enabled image on it ?
Thanks in advance.
Re: New Compaq 6305 Microtower - want to switch to RAID mode
This white paper on the HP site may be of use to you:
In particular, see the section entitled, "Configuring RAID on non-factory preinstalled configurations," starting on page 12. Page 17 begins dealing with the OS image. If you have your factory restore disk, you should be able to do this. The RAID driver is available for download on the HP web site.
From the white paper:
"Before proceeding, you will need the following:
- Microsoft Windows OS media and Product Key.
- RAID driver UFD. To create, go to www.hp.com/support. Select your country and language, select Support and Drivers, click on Drivers and Software, enter the model number of the computer, and press Enter. "
I hope this helps.
Re: New Compaq 6305 Microtower - want to switch to RAID mode
You would need to reinstall the OS again to have the unit in RAID. So I would suggest changing the SATA emulation to RAID and then using the Restore Media to install the OS. It should install all required drivers, including the RAID drivers. Once the installtion is done the unit should be in RAID 1(which is the default option for HP desktops).
Re: New Compaq 6305 Microtower - want to switch to RAID mode
Did you ever get this installed?
The W7 Pro Recovery disks provided do not seem to work for this application.
I am waiting on a solution from HP support, but thought I would ask if you had success. If so, how?

Using 2.7.3 Relevanssi
If I turn off Fuzzy Search it still finds my terms in parts of results. For Instance, "mad" shows up in results with "made" and highlighting "mad"e. I have tried to change Fuzzy Search to each setting but it isn't working properly when I turn it off. I truncated the Relevanssi table in the db, and rebuilt the cache. About the only thing I haven't done is to remove and reinstall the plugin. Any advice?

Vitamin B12: Critical Nutrient Found Only in Animal FoodsHealthy Living, Healthy Pregnancy, Baby & Child
Modern dietary propaganda consistently gets it wrong – very very wrong, when it comes to the critical nutrient Vitamin B12. The false notions pertaining to proper food sources of B12 has resulted in epidemic numbers of people being deficient in this all important nutrient and suffering the sometimes devastating health consequences.
Deficiency of B12 is extremely dangerous to health and can lead to dementia and even death if not rectified. While early symptoms include paleness and overall weakness and fatigue, as the anemia caused by B12 deficiency progresses, symptoms can mimic the signs of aging and so can easily be dismissed as a somehow natural or "normal" occurrence: shaky hands or spastic movement in general, sleeping disorders, unsteady gait, easy bruising, incontinence, and memory loss.
Nervous system, reproductive, and digestive problems such as depression, tingling hands/feet, stomach upset, constipation (or diarrhea), and infertility are also warning signs of low B12 status.
Children with B12 deficiency are particularly at risk with permanent damage to development a very real possibility. Growth retardation, delay in motor skill development, and significantly reduced problem solving, spatial ability, and overall ability to learn are the consequences of low B12 in the developing years.
The real culprit in the B12 deficiency epidemic (by some estimates, about 40% of people are deficient and most are completely unaware of the situation), is the demonization and consequent avoidance of B12 rich foods by a duped public.
B12 Rich Foods ALL of Animal Origin
The very foods highest in B12 – particularly organ meats and eggs, are the very same ones erroneously labeled as unhealthy by conventional nutritional circles. Ironically, these very same foods were revered and regarded as sacred by Traditional Societies as they imparted vibrant health, vitality, fertility and healthy babies and children to those that consumed them:
- liver
- kidney
- meat (cooking meat only destroys B12 on the surface, not interior of the meat)
- fish
- shellfish
- dairy products (raw dairy has more B12 than pasteurized dairy and the milk proteins that assist with absorbing the B12 are not denatured like happens when milk is pasteurized)
- egg yolks
Gut Bacteria Do Not Produce a Usable Form of B12
Because the original source of B12 in nature is bacteria, some nutritional sources confuse the issue by maintaining that beneficial B12 is synthesized by gut flora in the colon of humans.
While this may be true, the B12 that is produced this way is not in a usable form as very little if any of this B12 is able to be absorbed across the walls of the large intestine or colon. The reason is that the bacteria produced B12 in the gut is not attached to the "intrinsic factor" (IF), a special protein that is secreted in the stomach.
B12 must attach to an intrinsic factor protein to be absorbed effectively. This happens when B12 that is consumed binds with the intrinsic factor that has been broken down by pancreatic enzymes in the small intestine. The tightly bound B12-intrinsic factor complex then moves through the gut to the Ileum or lower portion of the small intestine and attaches to cell receptors for absorption.
B12 Not Available in ANY Plant Foods
Contrary to claims by the vegan community, usable B12 is not available in algae like spirulina or tempeh (a fermented soy product). The B12 found in these foods is similar to true B12 but not exactly the same thing. The B12 in Brewer's yeast is due to factory fortification, in other words, it is not naturally occurring in the food.
Studies have indicated that the B12 analogues in algae and tempeh are not bioavailable to the human body – blood levels of the nutrient did not change even after algae or tempeh were added to the diet.
Even worse, these B12 imposters can actually inhibit the absorption of true vitamin B12 as the result of a competitive situation in the digestive system. This puts those that avoid animal foods at an even greater risk for deficiency!
What About Hindu Vegans Who Have No B12 Deficiency?
Proponents of the B12 in plant foods myth like to point out that Hindus from India do not seem to suffer from any B12 deficiency despite their diet which includes no animal foods.
However, what is conveniently left out of the discussion is that vegan Hindus that move to England quickly develop B12 deficiency symptoms with no change in diet.
This is because in India, the plant foods consumed by vegans include many insects and insect larvae due to the lack of pesticide use and and inefficient cleaning methods. In England, insects and their residues are completely removed from plant foods before they are consumed, thus removing the tiny and yet plentiful animal foods that were serving to preserve the Hindu vegans' health in their homeland.
What About B12 Supplements?
It is always best to seek nutrients from whole food sources first. However, in the case of B12, there are many ways absorption can be inhibited and so sometimes supplementation becomes necessary.
The pathways for uptake of this critical nutrient are very complicated and very common physical issues such as reduced stomach acid, compromised protein digestion, lack of pancreatic enzymes and autoimmune disorders can cause disruption in the absorption process.
Supplementation with either the crystalline form of B12 or even better, plentiful servings of foods rich in B12 such as liver and eggs can typically resolve the situation.

Logically. I would like to know how animals, which pocess the only bioavaliable B12, and yet cannot create B12 on thier own, came to be?
Also, how is it that insects as small as they are sustain B12 levels that are healthy? Around the 500 range? How many insects would have to be consumed, daily, and what extremes of living conditons allow for such a high intake of masked insect eating?
Where do the insects get their B12 and are they too animals then since they have B12?
Why is the consumption of meats so highly reccommended if an insect has enough?
Hey Samantha,
In reply to Ur inquiry, for Ur awareness so U can make informed decisions…
The animals can't and don't produce the vitamin, and nor do they consume it. They consume precursors like cobalt, and then bacteria in their guts produce the vitamin – and then one of two things happen… either the vitamin is excreted in feces and the animal eats the feces since the vitamin is produced in an area of the gut after where the vitamin can't be absorbed (a number of rodents such a guinea pigs do this, as do rabbits and relatives, koalas [during weaning the baby koala can only eat mom's poo or it's diet will kill it through poisoning, actually], and others), or the animal is a ruminant or has a similar highly specialized digestive tract and the areas where the vitamin are produced in the gut do absorb it (cud is nearly a poo or about to be nearly a poo in some respects, and is or is about to be the same as poo in all the important respects with regard to vitamin B12 in this case).
Plants with B12 have B12 that we can not use – that is, it is not bioavailable, or they have B12 precursors which we can not use to the effect needed, and these are bad, because they can compete with any actually usable B12 for absorption. Plants found with bioavailable B12 are inconsistent in this result, and due to this it is presumed that bacteria growing on or around the sea weed or plant is actually the source of the B12, and bacteria blooms can be very unpredictable, and can be really unsafe.
For people living vegan or vegetarian diets, their only sources of B12 are supplementation, hidden animals in their food (such as unrecognized bugs in produce), and from less effective sanitation methods leading to poo being consumed unintentionally from things such as food handling with dirty hands or living surrounded by poo or having poo fertilizer left on plants before consumption (hopefully cooked). These are the only sources of B12 available to vegans [vegan experts including vegan nutritionists and dietary professionals are saying this much as well]… if a culture is surviving without animal products, chances are that the conditions are very unsanitary and bugs and/or feces is unknowingly in the diet.
The only natural vegan sources of B12 is wildlife poo [gathered up like wild mushrooms – which is not sanitary nor advocated], and if your an animal of a species lucky enough to have a specialized gut then the bacteria in the gut. The only other vegan option is supplements made from bacteria. There's also one other possible option – I've been trying to find a way to grow the bacteria, and so far, all I've found is that it's used to make a cheese. Presumably it can be cultured like spirulina? Or like cheese in soy or some other plant medium? If anyone has that information, that would be great.
Sources is just doing a lot of research. What's I've said came up over and over again from what see to be reputable sources or sources listing what seem to be reputable sources (I won't dignify them with more than seems since I'm neither a scientist nor a scholar).
Moving on to more than replying , I am not vegan, but I'm looking to cut back on meat and do not believe in supplementation that I can not make at home (to avoid such awkwardnesses as discovering a fair few western soybean products are soaked in hexanes or some sort of toxic chemical… years after consuming them, which i consider to be neither green nor healthy, no matter what limits are listed as safe) and Ive come to the solution of a compost pile that would be made of all sorts of inedible parts of edible plants and is then pasteurized at home and then fed to spirulina as it's culture/fertilizer… and so the spirulina would be used as a natural supplement for omega3s along with all sorts of vitamins and minerals… but it's short in vitamin B12… and so B12 is holding me back from reducing meat without commercial supplementation. [Note that spirulina grown at home is not actually spirulina and is also not an actual plant algae which are generally toxic but is actually a bacterial algae – it's a bacteria] I'd like to be able to culture this other B12 producing bacteria, it'd really be a boon. Anyone have ideas or information to make this culturing of the bacteria a possibility? 😀 The bacteria options seems to be Propionibacterium freudenreichii (emmental cheese bacteria, & is used commercially for B12 production), Pseudomonas denitrificans (is used commercially for B12 production), and maaaaybe Streptomyces griseus (*was* used commercially for B12 production).
[Also, Im only researching currently, Im not in a position to be doing these culturings, yet. But working on that part.] So, if anyone has any helpful info or ideas or anything else helpful, that could nurture or guide these endeavors for several of us Id really appreciate it, and please and thank u in advance if anyone can contribute anything ^-^ !
To Thehealthyeconomist: The vegan b12 claim that soil was once healthy, and now due to farming practices the bacteria within the soil is not there for us is completely and utterly ridiculous. Here's a very interesting study on this exact claim, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16528394 – If you notice, the conclusion was made that liver stores did not raise, but serum values did. This is EXACTLY what is seen when the source is an analogue, and not TRUE B12 such as spirulina, or chlorella. B12 analogues will falsely elevated serum b12 values. This once again proves, even "healthy soil" is not a TRUE source of bio-available b12, but only an analogue ( which have been shown to actually inhibit true b12 ). In regards once again to the study. there goats were fed high amounts of soil, but had no rise in liver stores yet vegans think some dirty vegetables from healthy soil will give them b12, FALSE.
Sea vegetables, and veggies from healthy soil ARE NOT a source of true b12, THEY"RE analogues. Lastly, even if the soil contained TRUE b12, the levels within are so minimal that it wouldn't even matter. Not only that, but it's very wishful thinking that the veggies you plant will hopefully be in an area of soil where the cobalt is high enough to create any b12 at all, but it doesn't matter either way. In vegan land, healthy soil equals almost non measurable amounts of b12 analogues, but in the animal world a 3oz serving of grass fed liver equals over 2 THOUSAND % of the DRA.
Great article! I was just researching best food forms of adenosylocobalamin, one of the ONLY 2 "active" forms of B12 as I do not tolerate (horrible side effects) the high quality methylcobalamin B12 my doctor prescribed…even in tiny doses.. I will be eating liver often (from cows on organic pasture) as it's a great source of adenosylocobalamin B12 ! The bacterial B12, hydroxocobalamin, I feel (after research) is of questionable benefit for me and likely the same for many people. The bacteria produce this B12 for their own benefit. It is possible for us to convert the leftover (assuming you have great gut bacteria that produce enough to have extra) …but there are issues that can block this conversion completely such as low glutathione….just one example. By the way….high or adequate levels of B12 in the blood does not mean so much…does not mean that it's crossing into the cells or crossing the blood brain barrier where it is essential for health. People like me (MTHFR gene varient…quite common) often have high blood levels when tested…because it doesn't go beyond the blood to where it's needed.
David Olivier
Most of the vitamin B12 in foods of animal origin is there because it was added, as a supplement, to the animal's food. This is the case for almost all birds (chicken…) and pigs. Ruminants (cattle, sheep) produce their B12 in their stomachs through bacterial fermentation, but cobalt is a necessary ingredient for the process; so they are often given cobalt supplements. And also, quite often, directly vitamin B12 shots.
Animals are in no way a "source" of vitamin B12. Only bacteria are. The animals people eat are only a different form of packaging for the same vitamin B12 that any vegan can (and should) get over the counter.
It is absurd to insist that we should eat meat and other animal products to get our vitamin B12.
It only reserve buy vitamin b12 Orthomol
I mean, fermented foods, milk and curds have a healthy dose of b12 which are eaten everyday which have helped vegetarians all over. I believe, even if u r a vegan, unless the b12 levels dropped because of improper diet, there are options to retain the levels.
Btw, I haven't sent the above post without knowing my present levels ( if some think I have fallen for a myth.) I sure was low on b12 a year ago due to poor absorption after by a life threatening post delivery complication but I rebounded to good health.Hence, I believe in what I say, as it showed in my tests.
Hope the info helps.
I live in India and I wash my veggies well. If I didn't, I'd have got diarrhoea instead of vit b12.
I wish our farms didn't use pesticides, unfortunately, they do.. In large amounts. So, the bugs are dead. We wash the vegetables to try to wash off the pesticides.
Here are some facts.
1. Not all Hindus are not vegetarians.Brahmins are.
2. Brahmins are vegetarians, not vegans.. Being vegan is more by choice. There are hardly any Brahmins who do not eat dairy. Milk, ghee and curds are eaten daily, in good quantities, with each meal.
3. You do not call yourself a vegetarian if your diet includes fish and meat. Infact, we have a code-word called 'pure vegetarian' for those who avoid cakes too, if they have eggs in them.
No one else would be able to put the facts about being a vegetarian better because I was born in a family of vegetarians (read Brahmin) and have chosen to remain so for life.
My family and relatives have great b-12 levels being vegetarians all their life because it never went lower than normal in the first place. Living abroad didn't change our b 12 requirements(as one of ur posts said). Pls post only if you know the facts right.
The facts that might have helped,
most of Indian morning Breakfasts are fermented food ( idly, dosa etc)
Milk is taken twice a day by kids and curds ( curds is not the same as european yoghurt) is taken at least at night. This helps to retain the b12 levels as required. Having said that, due the the fad foods, lack of time for a healthy Indian vegetarian breakfast and late working hours which amounts to working dinners( move away working lunches ;)), b12 deficiency has become so common among vegetarians and vegans.

Now then…
I'm vegan.
I have Crohn's disease and Colitis and am not deficient in Vitamin B12 – as many Crohn's/Clitis sufferers are. I'm also anaemic – due to a blood disorder (Beta Thalassaemia) and my Vitamin B12 and D levels are exceedingly good. I use Spirulina. Have been supplementing my diet with Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica for over 7 years now and my blood count and iron levels have never been so good in all my life.
I agree with what Jess has to say: learn something about the human anatomy and physiology before scaremongering!
I have a degree in food science and nutrition and anatomy and physiology.
Yep. Looks like I should be dead, too. I cleared up all my health problems, and I don't supplement. I've been vegan for almost four years and never eat fortified foods. I'm a goner. Oh, and so are my children! One of them has been vegan since conception…
Oh dear. I wouldn't brag if I were you. The chickens haven't yet come home to roost. You still have time to wake up. Dr. Mary Enig used to say "It's fine to be vegan and raise your children vegan as long as you don't wish for any grandchildren". There is a reason no traditional cultures were vegan … third generation infertility.
The liver is the detoxification organ of an animal and is loaded with toxins. Anyone who eats it or feeds it to their children, OR RECOMMENDS OTHERS TO DO SO, really needs to learn a little about anatomy. I am quite disgusted with the inaccuracies and dangerous suggestions within this article, and I really hope people take their time to research and think for themselves before heeding any of this advice. I have been vegetarian for 15 years, vegan for 2 years, fruitarian for 6 months, and I only recently started, as insurance, taking a very small portion of a 7,000 microgram sublingual vegan B12 dot. There is no reason to scare people into thinking they need animal products~ which cause a host of illnesses and disease and is bad for the planet, the soul, the body, AND the animals~ just for B12.
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Your disgust for liver is unwarranted. Liver from healthy animals living and grazing freely on unsprayed pastures and not subjected to antibiotics, steroids, or GMO feed is safe, healthy and clean. The color of healthy versus unhealthy, toxic liver is quite different and therefore healthy liver is easy to identify. Children in particular benefit greatly from regular consumption of liver which has nutrients, like B12, that are not available in any plant foods at all. The B12 analogues in kelp and tempeh are not true B12 and not usable by the body and the B12 synthesized by bacteria in the gut is not bioavailable. Unfortunately, vegans frequently find out that these myths they have fallen for are quite inaccurate far too late – after their health has been severely compromised.
I am a "Hindu", but all my life I have not come across one "Hindu Vegan". Milk and milk products have always been considered as important part of wholesome Hindu diet, as righty pointed out in some of the earlier comments. In fact Ayurveda, puts milk and ghee as pillars of good health. Here are some of the international ayurveda and yoga web sites containing articles on the same.
You have a good web site, it can be better with more facts.
I prefer to have organic fruits and veggies, but always make sure to wash them first, not too fond of eating "bugs" 😉
Good grief, don't they teach basic biology in school anymore?
1. Cows are ruminants. Google it. Their stomach has 4 parts. They rely on microbial fermentation to break down grass and produce their B12.
2. The major carbohydrate in grass is cellulose. This is a form of carbohydrate humans can't digest.
So if you expect to eat grass to produce your B12 like a cow, you'll need to get busy growing those other 3 stomachs.
In addition to biology, they should consider teaching courtesy and good manners.
P.S. Thanks for the lesson in basic biology, it's very interesting.
Freaky, huh? Cows eat grass only (mostly carbs) and are made of meat! How do they do that? Its one of the miracles of life.
They also eat the bugs and larvae on the grass. They also eat grass seed – their natural allotment of grain. They also have 4 stomachs full of bacteria that digest the grass for them.
Let me ask you this, if cows which are loaded with B12 don't eat meat where do they get their B12? ?????

Vitamin D… although not a vitamin but a protein.
Here it states we can get vitamin b12 through these mushrooms. Please someone EXPLAIN! I reaaaally don't want to eat animals. But I also don't want to be deficient. HELP!
Thanks for the link Jovanna. There is really nothing to be explained. That article proves that B12 is found in these mushrooms. That publication alone shows us that vitamin b12 is not just found in animals. So, you don't have to eat animals.
It doesn't say that if you eat these mushrooms you will increase the level of usable B12 in your blood. Best way to find out would be to test your B12 levels now. Eat these mushrooms for a few months and see if it goes up. If it doesn't try some liver and then test it. You could also drink raw milk or eat egg yolks.
Shani, she said she really didnt want to eat animals. And, you want her to try liver if the mushrooms dont work. I am sure there are other plant based sources besides mushrooms if that doesnt help. I know God didnt leave out one vitamin B12 out of all the vitamins and said we need to get that one from animals. That just doesn't make any sense. We all should know better than this.

Jesus ate fish.
Liver doesn't like me. I've tried it cooked various ways, both calf and beef liver and it won't stay down. It's down about two minutes then it's coming back up. I don't think the smell is triggering this. And I'm the only one with 4 siblings who has this problem. I do eat canned salmon. Does that help with B12?
I'd like to add to your list of problems that can occur if you are deficient in B12. I've suffered with one very long continual headache for 20yrs. Of course I have tried all sorts of medical and natural means of healing this issue. But it wasn't until recently that I discovered that I have Pernicious Anemia, which is the bodies inability to make the IFP, and started taking B12 in shots that I have finally experienced relief from these headaches. I also had the shaky hand thing, easy brusing (which my husband use to always tease me about because he'd touch me and I'd say, "Ouch! That's going to bruise.") and gut issues.

Only if you are diagnosed with a deficiency, and probably better get tests run and find out the health issues resulting in this deficiency, as more then likely, there is more issues going on, then a plant-based diet being the reason … Go see a doctor …
Ave Marlita Myers via Facebook
are b 12 injections from the doctor office good ?
Foodist's Cure for Health and Weight Training via Facebook
Then why do I, and all the Vegans/mostly plant-based, that I know, do not suffer a b12 deficiency? You guys and others keep beating this deficiency tree, but, really, people with deficiencies actually have other health reasons causing it. If and when it becomes an issue, then maybe this would be relevant. I am weight training on a mostly raw plant based diet. Never felt better, with more energy in all my life. Further, I have not had the flu in 16 years, and no colds or viruses in the last three years. I live in Oregon where the weather wet, and cold. So, while you may find an audience to read this garbage, I am walking/living proof to the contrary. Thanks for listening. Have a great day.
Raederle Phoenix West-Jacot via Facebook
It occurs to me to affirm the truth in this: There is NOT B12 in spirulina and many other sea vegetables and things that they say it is in. This is because there are analogs that are very similar to B12 that give a false positive on some cheap testing. The more reliable expensive testing reveals a different story.
Raederle Phoenix West-Jacot via Facebook
Hi Ti Bergenn–Thanks for asking. B12 is produced by a bacteria found in soil and water. Animals get it from the soil. Obviously herbivorous animals need it and they get it from eating dirt and drinking "unclean" water. For my own followers and clients I recommend either getting a supplement for B12 or buying B12 mushrooms (a new thing available at some Whole Foods locations–the mushrooms are grown under a special light to produce the B12). Another option for health-aware folks who are vegetarian but not vegan is to buy quality organic yogurt, or for vegans who are not raw foodists, they can buy fortified almond milk or rice milk. For raw vegans, however, it is a choice between a supplement, the special mushrooms, or having your soil analyzes (very expensive) and eating produce from your garden that is unwashed (if your soil turns up positive for B12). I have more information on this in my article about whether or not humans need supplements to be really healthy: http://www.raederle.com/2012/08/article-do-you-really-need-supplements.html#.UPW1W2_EYgl

Hi Sarah
I know you are busy but I would appreciate an answer about bone broth..thanks alot!!
we have been bone brothing and as we live in Greece we have pretty healthy food, and we can get very fresh, wild goat and naturally raised sheep. However all the beef comes from Holland and it is probably not grass fed, they are exporting huge quantities of beef at lower prices to big supermarkets. These are the bones we have been making broth with. Our dilemma, better not eat broth at all or use these beef bones anyway, we do ozone them first.
these bones we get for free, no one else uses them here. The goat does not have bones that we can buy for bones only cuts of meat which have bones in them but they are very expensive.
Thank you

If one doesn't eat meat then the best option, iof expensive, is 'Nature identical' vitamin supplement. In traditional France mothers insisted on feeding their chidlren with one meal of horse meat a week to ward off colds and 'flu. It seemed to work too. I'm too hypercritical a carnivore to eat horse – or maybe it's because I don;t like the taste.

I'm a vegetarian but eat eggs & fish. Do ALL kinds of fish have B12? And how many eggs each day would I need to consume (if I didn't eat fish) to absorb enough B12??
My family and I eat almost all of the B12 rich foods mentioned in this article such as eggs, meat, fish, and dairy. I have to say we do not eat much liver (we really are not fond of the taste). My mom went for some testing at a local holistic health center and found that her B12 levels were low, as well as her vitamin D. What are some ways in which vitamin b12 absorption can be in inhibited, as you said?
Sarah, can you make a blog post about the latest so-called "flu pandemic"? 😀
thehealthyhomeeconomist via Facebook
B12 deficiency is nothing to mess around with. Eat liver and you'll be sure to be getting enough!
You mention that Brewer's Yeast does not naturally have B12, but what about the Lewis Labs brand? I know that is the only brand that is not made as a by process of beer brewing and is instead made from sugar beets. I'm wondering because I've been trying to think about how my sister, who is a vegetarian and has been since the age of 5 (she is 22 now and probably will always be a vegetarian because she grew up that way and has no taste for meat), could get some extra B12. I saw above that somebody asked about whether the B12 in kombucha is bioavailable, and I'd be interested to hear about that too. Thanks! Great article.

I got some great liver from a grassfed butcher, but alas, it is frozen in 1 lb. chunks. I'd prefer to eat it raw, but I'd have to thaw a whole pound to cut it up into bite size pieces. Does anyone know if I could thaw, soak and refreeze? Thanks

Wonderful post and so true
Taleen Young via Facebook
That was a waste of time!
Nice article. However, I just wanted to point out a few things that may need to be clarified. The title states "Critical Nutrient Found Only in Animal Foods" seems to me may be a little misleading. Because, in the article it states "The B12 found in these foods is similar to true B12 but not exactly the same thing." That statement alone says that B12 is in the plants but is not the same as animal B12. Also, the link provided even states vitamin B-12 was absorbed. And, the other statement; "this is is because in India, the plant foods consumed by vegans include many insects and insect larvae due to the lack of pesticide use and inefficient cleaning methods." This statement is trying to explain why the vegan Hindus from India do not have a B12 deficiency. Yet, it is really saying that B12 is also in insects too and just not animals.
Insects are animals.
Thanks Hannah for the clarification. True, they are animals. So, since the animals are the only ones who have the "real" B12 and the animals people eat are generally vegan animals; how do the vegan animals get B12?
Samantha Braga Rezende
Don't forget we are animals too.

Re: Hindu vegans.
Being married to an Indian man (though he's not vegan) and being exposed to Indian culture, I highly doubt most Hindu vegans are "vegans" in any sense of the word. Almost all Indian food has dairy in it: butter, ghee, cream, or yogurt (often called curd). Cows are considered sacred in Hindu culture and dairy foods appear in so many many dishes. Also in rural India, most if not all dairy is raw. So I'd be willing to bet that's where the B12 is coming from.

'plant' forms of B12 also contain antinutrients that prevent absorption.
To the question about injected B12, in short, I would.
After countless years with an undiagnosed B12 deficiency, I began taking 2000-3000mcg of sublingual Methylcobalamin plus monthly injections. Much of the hand pain and neuropathy that I'd been experiencing and considered a hazard of my work (graphic design, previously massage therapy) went away for months after the monthly injections.
I continued sublingual supplementation but haven't had injections since. The pain and neuropathy returned.
I do highly recommend taking a look at this link, and learning more about B12 and the myriad problems related. It's eye opening and could be both lifesaving and lifechanging. http://b12awareness.org/cobalamin-deficiency-criteria-list-risk-score-neurologic-psychiatric-gastrointestinal-hematologic/

Thank you (Sarah) for the info on the Hindu vegans (though it makes perfect sense, given context). I'm not vegan/vegetarian (nor did it ever tempt me) but I have friends who are staunch vegans and constantly cite that kind of research. Now to get sneaky about getting this info to them (the direct approach just puts them on the defensive :p ).

Karen Roos Nutritional yeast does not have B12 in it naturally .. it has been fortified.
Karen Roos via Facebook
I saw brewers yeast mentioned, but not nutritional yeast, which reportedly has b12?
Thank you for this article! I am printing it out to share with a client of mine who has Parkinson's Disease. They have been particularly resistant about the b12 supplementation (in addition to other supplements) I have recommended because they have taken a drug store brand b12 before and did not feel it was important. My greatest weakness as a Nutritionist is not being articulate enough, so I appreciate great information from people like you!!!
Sarah Couture Pope via Facebook
Qu An It is not true B12 in spirulina and other algae. The article covers this and discusses why. Don't be fooled by this argument. There is no true B12 in plant foods including algae. This is a myth that keeps getting passed along and the science (studies referenced in the article) proves that algae has no true B12 .. blood levels of B12 do not rise with algae is consumed.

B12 deficiency will also contribute to gray hair and hair loss. In traditional cultures where people are eating a traditional diet – only when elders are ancient do you see gray hair and rarely hair loss. My own gray hair has decreased dramatically since eating more nutrient dense B12 foods as well as fermented foods (kefir, kombucha) and liver, fish roe regularly.. As a hairdresser I would say that gray hair and hair loss is epidemic – I see gray hair strands even in middle school children and many people are 50-60% gray in their 20s and 30s.. The good news is that gray hair is reversible with nutrient dense food.

I consume seaweed: seaweed is considered vegetables. Vitamin B12 is found in some seaweed, processed as Spirulina (blue-green algae) or Marine Plankton.
Clearly you did not read the article. The B-12 in seaweed is an analog that the body can't use, and can actually prevent the absorption of real B-12
Donielle @ Naturally Knocked Up
Yes!! It's so very important.
I recently found out I'm deficient in B-12, and it's not because I'm a vegan either. I'm quite omnivorous, eating a mostly traditional foods diet. But according to functional ranges, I'm at half of where I should be, 386) (sad thing is, as far as conventional medicine is concerned, I have more than enough as the pathological low range is under 200)
For me – it's all about healing the gut, something I didn't think I really had to do. But the high stress of a miscarriage and a round of antibiotics later (due to strep) and some major work needs to be done. Because I'm consuming enough, I'm just not absorbing it!

Also Kathy, sublinguals do not always work for some people. I take a monthly b12 injection due to Pernicious Anemia. Also, if you take b12, you should also supplement with Folate. Folate and b12 work together.

My energy levels shot up when I started on 5000 mcg sublingual b12 and 5000 mg D3 sublingual
I have to respectfully disagree with some of your info. I believe yes there is a good deal of b12 deficiency going on but Come on the Hindu Indians eat enough bugs unbeknownst to them to keep levels up? That to me is completely ubsurd. Thank you but I will continue on my journey in vegetarianism and keep taking my b12 and using my nutritional yeast with no problems and no deficiencies unlike some of my meat eating friends and family
however the bruise shown can be low vit c. i bruise easy if I don't take 2000 of c everyday.

How do you ozone bones??
Amy Atkinson
We have an ozonator, they are quite common and reasonably cheap here in Europe. it is a little box that when plugged in produces ozone, it has a plastic tube with a stone diffuser on the end. this you put in your water and it cleans the water of microbes, parasites, viruses, and changes some metals, it gets rid of chlorine in the water too. After about 5 mins the ozone diminishes in the water, which is now purified, but if you are doing ozone therapy you have to drink the water right away.
SO, getting to your question, when you want to clean vegetables or chicken , meat bones etc you put them in a basin of water and ozone it for 5 to 10 mins and voila!! everything is clean!! Debatable how much it removes of antibiotics, hormones in meat which is why I want to know how safe it is to make bone broth from cows that come from who knows where and are fed who know what??!!!etc
Douglas Wallace
Vitamin D is another classic example of a deficiently that (in general) has to be addressed via animal protein. It can be obtained from the sun, however in Northern climates in the winter it becomes a big problem. For African Americans such as myself, and even bigger issue, since we can't get it from the sun. Nonetheless, Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon is the most practical way to consistently get it into your diet. Another way is cod liver oil, but it has a horrible taste, although they are making flavored cod liver oil now. I have optimal vitamin d levels of 46.5, whereas most African Americans score in the teens or even single digits, and lighter skinned Americans often score in the low 20's. When you get below 20 you are in that danger zone. I wrote a blog article on it : http://www.gaiahealthblog.com/2012/03/06/a-case-for-quality-animal-protein-optimal-vitamin-d-levels-from-salmon/
Hi Sarah, Thanks for this post. Do you have any information about how well we absorb the b vitamins from kombucha? The store bought version I buy lists a pretty significant amount of b, including b 12. I drink quite a bit of it and assume it's a good back up when I am not eating much in the way of organs. What do you think, is this a usable form for my body? Thanks very much!
Also, if you have the MTHFR mutation as I do, you need to take a methyl version of B12 for it to absorb. I am new to this so cannot explain well, but you can google MTHFR and B12 to read more about it. More and more people are testing positive for this mutation which can be very bad if left undiagnosed. I also have to take a methyl version of folate as well, for life.
Kate @ Modern Alternative Mama
Gut bacteria I think does play a role in proper absorption of B12 from animal foods, though.
My daughter was seriously B12 deficient as a toddler, despite that she ate lots of grass-fed beef and eggs. We knew from blood tests that her body was unable to absorb or make use of the B12.
We did GAPS with her and have been working on fermented foods since then. She is no longer deficient, to my knowledge. She made huge developmental leaps that her doctor felt were related to B12 after GAPS. I have read that another early sign of B12 deficiency is not remembering your dreams…and she now tells me about vivid ones she has had (she is almost 5).
So if your gut flora is disturbed you may not be able to benefit from the animal foods…both are important.
I live in India and most vegetarians here consume dairy and eggs, there are no insects on the produce here unless it's from an organic farm which is rare. The use of pesticides is way over the top ridiculous. Non organic produce is completely unsafe. The farmers have no idea how to read instructions for pesticides and so sometimes use wrong amounts and even the wrong pesticide… A friend of mine is a mango farmer and when I asked him does he use pesticides he answered 'of course!!, it's a commercial venture and everyone does it!' Pesticides banned in other countries like the USA are used liberally here. They even spray bananas just for the heck of it.
My (Indian) friends Auntie however is vegetarian but consumed a litre of raw milk a day. She's still alive at 106 and is in the guiness book of records for still having all her teeth in tact at 100 or 103… Anyway she's the oldest known living person with all her teeth.
Another great post, Sarah. In an effort to get more organ meats for my daughter who is healing well from rheumatoid arthritis, I scored an awful lot of offal from a grassfed beef farmer. We got pancreas, kidney, brain, heart, oxtail, tongue….
So. Okay. How do I now prepare these foods in such a way that my family will eat and swallow? Do you have recipes for sausage, haggis type stuff, or other ideas?
There are some great cookbooks for this, like Odd Bits by Jennifer McLagan and the series of Whole Beast nose-to-tail books by Fergus Henderson. Many old cookbooks have organ recipes — even my 1964 edition of Joy of Cooking is loaded with them. Or just Google by ingredient and see what you get.
I'm ashamed to admit that when we butchered our grass fed steer I gave most of the liver to the dog. I saved some of it but it's frozen in big chunks. (I was surprised to find that a cow's liver is HUGE.) I'd like to know more about eating fozen liver pills. How many would be good to eat? Would you eat one a day or do you just choke down a handful once a year? I hate the taste of liver. Haven't found a good way to disguise it either.
Vicki, you might try this:
– chop liver into small 1/2 inch pieces and soak overnight in lemon juice with a little water to help neutralize the taste
– freeze in a pyrex bowl or jar between layers of natural parchment paper to keep them from sticking to each other
– partially thaw 3-5 pieces at a time every morning; liver thaws very quickly so this takes only a few minutes
– put them on the back of your tongue and swallow with your favorite beverage – quick down the hatch!
Another thought: my husband despises liver as well, but he loves the pate I make because I use lots of other yummy ingredients like sauteed mushrooms, fresh basil and rosemary, bacon and bacon fat, butter, onions, garlic, sea salt, etc.
LOL I did the exact same thing, except from two steers. The dogs sure ate good! Now I wish I would have at least tried it. I'm not a liver person but I could probably do the pills.
I take a sublingual methyl B12. Is the absorption of the sublingual better?
yes as it goes right into blood stream. if it goes thro gut i will not all go where it needs to. some is distroyed. however there is one b12 that comes from animal sourse .adenosylcobalamin find it there are some supplaments. I notice my hair grew thicker in 2 months with this. hair has always been thin even back when i was a kid and ate meat. I only eat eggs now. no other animal products as I can't do even raw milk products becuas eof casin. Bee sting alergy shot which are under vacc messed me up as kid and then adult when I got them again with milk products. I know cleanse…can't right now Im nursing. someday i will and hpope I can do raw milk then.
I have an autoimmune disorder compounded by extreme heavy metal poisoning and have been rebuilding and healing my gut with the GAPS diet and intramuscular injections of adenosylcobalamin daily when my ND and I discerned I was not absorbing the sublingual B12 supplements. It was amazing how my hair became so thick and actually started showing body and curl! Something I never ever knew it had. My energy level is much much better as well. It is a bit of an extra step to do the injections but I have been able to continue the injections even when I travel. By car I lug my coolers packed with frozen broth and soups too. We usually rent through RBO so there is a kitchen to prepare our food and keep as close to a GAPS diet as I possibly can.
Dawn @ peelingbacktheonionlayers.com
Fabulous article! I did not know about the insects and insect larvae on plant foods in India accounting for the lack of B12 deficiency. So interesting!
It's also my understanding that many Hindus eat ghee, yogurt and paneer.
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Yes, I'm referring in this post to the vegan ones. There are plenty that are vegetarian, not vegan too.
Y.G. , Nourishing Traditions in Odessa Texas
Thanks, I liked the part about "insects and insect larvae", Now it makes sense. I suppose primates consume insects along with their fruit. I wonder if cows also eat insects when eating grass. What about Adam and Eve, if their fruit wasn't sprayed, did they also consume insects?
Pingback: Vitamin B12: Critical Nutrient Found Only in Animal Foods | CookingPlanet
Animal liver is full of toxins, right? So if you consume the liver then are you also consuming the leftover toxins from the animal?
Also, I know it's preferable to get bio-available food sources of vitamins, but might it be beneficial to supplement with methycobalamin B12?
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Liver is NOT a storage organ for toxins, it merely filters them so getting liver from clean,
grassfed cattle is a healthy choice.
Thanks for the clarification Sarah. I think it's also important to mention that "grassfed" doesn't necessarily mean that the animal was fed grass from start to finish in its life, it could have been fed grass once and then put onto a diet of grains from my understanding. The animal should be "Grass-Finished" — fed grass through its entire life.
Great article, I supplement with Jarrow Formula's Methylcobalamin B12 5000 mcg at least once per day because I don't get enough from dietary sources. I did notice a difference in my energy levels and ability to focus after a few weeks of consistent use. When I can budget the grass-finished liver I may drop the supplementation.
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Yes, some are warping the grassfed term and claiming that all beef is grassfed. Cattle that are finished on the feedlot on GMO corn/soy feed are not grassfed, even if they grazed before they got to the feedlot!
Can you explain this further? Or link to a source which explains it? I often cite liver as a healthy food, but really have no explanation when people argue that liver can't be healthy because it filters toxins. Air filters, water filters, vacuum filters….all get filthy after a while of filtering out pollutants. I know the liver is much more complex, but how does it remain clean after all the years filtering toxins?
Does eating a diet high in B12 help clear up acne? Any ideas on foods that might help clear up acne?
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Fermented cod liver oil does wonders for the skin! My teenager swears by it
I am interested in trying FCLO to help with my skin. I've never had acne in my life and at age 25 started having a lot of skin problems. I'm almost 30 and still having problems. Anyway, I'm wondering if FCLO replaces fish oil supplements? I take krill oil everyday. Would I stop taking this if I start taking FCLO?
Thanks for the reply Sarah, I was trying to cod liver oil from Green pastures but the order did not go through on the website.
Christina R
I don't know about B12 to clear acne but fclo does help clear up acne. My daughter has had terrible acne but when we started taking the cod liver oil she cleared right up. When she forgets to take it her acne comes back but as soon as she takes it again she clears within a couple of days.
My husband, who is a pharmacist, thinks it is the Vitamin A in the FCLO. I never wanted her on the "fake" A products like RetinA because of the scary side effects so I'm happy this works so well for her.
I can also attest to Fermented Cod Liver Oil clearing up my skin problems. It only took 2-3 months to really start working for me and now 1 year + later I haven't had any problems. Also, I went for a facial the other day (a Christmas gift) and the technician (not sure what her title was) said she had never seen such healthy skin- after she looked at it under her special lights- whatever they were… (Hoping she doesn't say that to all of her clients ). She then asked me what I did and was convinced of the Vitamin A healing my skin and said- well, whatever you're doing – don't stop!
We use Cod Liver Oil but not fermented – do you think this makes a difference?
Getting off all processed foods, especially pasteurized dairy, cleared up my son's acne before we even started taking the cod liver oil.
My kids had really outstanding results by taking vitamin B5 for acne. Also known as Pantothenic Acid. Five hundred milligrams was the largest pill I could find. You will need 1000 to 2000 mg per day. You should notice a difference in your skin after about a month, and then ongoing as you keep taking it.
Lisa C
Thanks for the info. I had wondered about the B12 produced by bacteria and that found in algae. Vegans are so convinced these are viable sources of B12 that it does make one wonder.
I wonder if you could answer a question for me, though. Liver is so high in B12, is it possible to overdose if you have liver every day? Like if I was taking liver capsules or something? I don't want to do anything that would stress my kidneys.
i also like to put the liver in my beef or pork patties and cook the former medium rare, so that some of the liver is still on the less cooked side 😉
and thank you for linking to the arguments that vegans made here about B12–i find that i'm less articulate when i'm being challenged and it's my goal to have studies and info like this at my fingertips so that i can take people on!
oh! the vegans! i worry for them…
Thanks for your quick reply! I tried a little chunk of raw grassfed liver yesterday (it had been frozen for well over 14 days). It didn't really taste that bad. I know I could easily stomach frozen raw liver 'pills' !! Love you Sarah! Keep up the good work. I really appreciate your honesty even though you get so much persecution. I have watched all your videos and read your blog every day. You have taught me so much! God bless.
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
That is a great way to get your liver too. I only like liver as pate … can't handle beef liver. Just too strong tasting but you can take the frozen liver chunks as you describe or the desiccated powder no problem. There is no reason to not incorporate liver into the diet and B12 is so very very important to health. A missing link for many searching for optimal wellness.
Does liver have to be eaten raw to get B12 from it?
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
There is still plenty of B12 in cooked liver … but raw is awesome .. I would recommend the raw desiccated liver powder from grassfed cows here on my Resources page. A very painless and nutrient dense way to get your B12 (especially for your children if they won't eat organ meats).

Hout Bay Harbour by night – Flickr pic of the day
This beautiful night-time image of Hout Bay was taken by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. group member Mikey Alex.
Mikey says, "I was hanging out with a few friends one night, watching the sunset and drinking mixers.
"It wasn't a particularly amazing sunset, but I decided to do a long-exposure shot over the bay in the dark.
"It really paid off as I got a great night shot of the harbour lights reflecting off the ocean," he continues.
There are lots of restaurants, shops and pubs in Hout Bay, and although it's a fishing village, the nightlife is hot and happening, especially during peak season.
Do you have images of Cape Town you'd like to share with us? We'd love you to join the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group!

Obama White House deflects blame for administration scandals
Reaction from Peter Johnson, Jr.
Reaction from Peter Johnson, Jr.
J C: "Clinton to Trump: You don't represent the real America. I do." Democrats you have been duped and lied to. Clinton paraded the "victim mentality" throughout the Democratic Convention. When the Dallas Police Chief (hinted that she and her lesbian 'partner' were having dinner) had citizens offer to pay for their supper in a nice restaurant showing solidarity in the community between police then asked for a moment of silence for the recently slayed officers, she was met with voices from the crowd that Black Lives Matter. Several observances there: 1. Female police chief (but the Democrats want you to think that females never rise to positions of authority by touting less pay for equal work; 2. The chief is Hispanic; 3. The chief is also gay. But the Democrats want to make straight white males the problem. If it were not for straight white males, this country, and all of the rights and benefits of citizenship would never exist. When former President Clinton spoke of his wife, Candidate Hillary Clinton, he continued (14 times) to refer to her as a "girl". What woman appreciates being referred to as a "girl"? Remember that former President Clinton was IMPEACHED! He is a known liar ("I did not have sexual relations with that woman"), is guilty of perjury! This can be compared to having the president of the Black Panthers, dressed in black, on stage and speaking on voting rights. The Democratic party IS the party of racism, the triple K, supports Black Lives Matter and even entertained having a known Socialist as a candidate for president under their Democratic banner. They are so underhanded, that they attempted to weight the party nomination unfairly because of a candidates religious faith. The policy of the Democratic Party Candidate is also to allow thousands of undocumented middle easterners into our country over the next few years which opens the opportunity to have terrorists also enter under the guise of a humanitarian charity, and doing this without the consent of the communities in which they will be placed (forced immigration). Note that these individuals will NOT be taking up residence on the White House grounds, but may be YOUR next door neighbor. Your property values will decrease, and again, the average American citizen loses. Democracy is too vulnerable a system to withstand an entrenched and determined hostility, serving no higher purpose than itself. Whether or not you call this treachery hardly matters. The end result is the same – conflict, not compromise. Expressions like "fascism" and "cold civil war" to make the point that America faces an immediate and very real danger from within – a growing anti-traditional, "party first" mentality among "Clinton Democrats" that would stop at nothing to achieve power and remake America in their politically correct image. Although the attacks of 9-11 seemed to inspire the "new patriotism" Ronald Reagan sought, in the end nothing really changed. First, there's no oxygen for a third party, at least not for one that has any chance of winning the presidency. But, meanwhile, these anti-traditional Democrats can undermine the system. They can quietly block legitimate votes in the Senate; they can noisily filibuster judges; they can emotionalize debate, use their power to politicize and subvert committees, force damaging scandal hearings – and do all this while networking with their secular media allies to pressure the public. They can campaign perpetually, wage the politics of personal destruction – they can infiltrate, obfuscate, accuse, demoralize and defeat at every opportunity. Call it permanent gridlock – a wrestling stranglehold just waiting for the pin. It doesn't sound very American, does it? There is a difference between today's America, and the America of 8 years ago. America IS less safe, America IS angrier, America IS more divided since Obama took office. Our society has been damaged by the Democrats, their policy, their scandals. The ONLY hope is to elect a traditional American. Trump may not be perfect, but Clinton is NOT the answer.

Band history still to come.
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
I don't know what exactly it is about Poland, but they consistently have great Death Metal bands. Not a lot of them, but the ones that do come out of there are pretty solid. SPINAL CORD is a tribute to this theory and the release of their 2004 album, "Stigmata Of Life" is nothing but testament to it.
On first listen one is instantly going to think "This band sounds like a little VADER". This is not a bad thing at all. It's a compliment to be compared to the mighty VADER. But there are some differences between the two despite many of the similarities.
SPINAL CORD have a very interesting structure for their Death/Thrash assault. Not the normal structure for such a genre, they have a tendency to pull in a more modern guitar structure that incorporates a lot of stop and go riffs (the chunky parts if you will). This keeps the band instantly separated from the rest of the pack and really gives them something new to work with. Combine those killer riff structures with the bass lines of the famous Polish Death Metal bassist, Novy (strangely enough who joined the VADER lineup only a year prior to joining SPINAL CORD), and you have a rhythm combination to die for. Not to mention you have the intensity of some very serious Death Metal drumming with blast beats and double bass galore and the stop and go structures are not the energy killers that they might be.
Of course, all of these layered rhythms doesn't stop guitarist, Dino, from unleashing some very well placed and thought out solos on the album. These solos are surprisingly structured and technical. They almost always come as a surprise from the brutal beats but are enjoyable nonetheless.
And if the musical side wasn't enough, Barney (who recorded with the band but by the time of this writing in 2008 is no longer in the line up) gives us a great variety of roars and rasps to keep the music interesting and shifting.
Overall though, sometimes the album gets a repetitive feeling by the end. There is enough variety to really keep a listener engaged but not quite enough to really stand out the album from the rest of the Polish onslaught. It's a great album but it can't quite overcome the feeling of repetition by the end. The performances are outstanding and the potential for the band is staggering. Curious to see what comes next for them.
Songs to check out: "Ramirez", "Burn Them All", "Mind Killer".

Leukemia & Lymphoma
Childhood Leukemia
In this article
Childhood leukemia, the most common type of cancer in children and teens, is a cancer of the white blood cells. Abnormal white blood cells form in the bone marrow. They quickly travel through the bloodstream and crowd out healthy cells. This increases the body's chances of infection and other problems.
As tough as it is for a child to have cancer, it's good to know that most children and teens with childhood leukemia can be successfully treated.
Recommended Related to Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Blood disorders can affect any of the three main components of blood: Red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the body's tissues White blood cells, which fight infections Platelets, which help blood to clot Blood disorders can also affect the liquid portion of blood, called plasma. Treatments and prognosis for blood diseases vary, depending on the blood condition and its severity.
Read the Types of Blood Disorders article > >
Risk Factors for Childhood Leukemia
Doctors don't know exactly what causes most cases of childhood leukemia. But certain factors may increase the chances of getting it. Keep in mind, though, that having a risk factor does not necessarily mean a child will get leukemia. In fact, most children with leukemia don't have any known risk factors.
The risk for childhood leukemia increases if your child has:
- An inherited disorder such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Down syndrome, or Klinefelter syndrome
- An inherited immune system problem such as ataxia telangiectasia
- A brother or sister with leukemia, especially an identical twin
- A history of being exposed to high levels of radiation, chemotherapy, or chemicals such as benzene (a solvent)
- A history of immune system suppression, such as for an organ transplant
Although the risk is small, doctors advise that children with known risk factors have regular checkups to spot any problems early.
Types of Childhood Leukemia
Almost all cases of childhood leukemia are acute, which means they develop rapidly. A tiny number are chronic and develop slowly.
Types of childhood leukemia include:
- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), also called acute lymphocytic leukemia. ALL accounts for three out of every four cases of childhood leukemia.
- Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). AML is the next most common type of childhood leukemia.
- Hybrid or mixed lineage leukemia. This is a rare leukemia with features of both ALL and AML.
- Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). CML is rare in children.
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). CLL is very rare in children.
- Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). This is a rare type that is neither chronic nor acute and occurs most often in children under age 4.
