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 form that it is believed to exert its therapeutic effect. CLINICAL RESEARCH: "The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes allergic 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 In 1988, asthma 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 in Riverside County, CA in 1989. Sixteen of the 17 subjects had lowered IgE levels from Day 0 to Day 30.3

All of the active B12 group reporting showed reduction in severity of symptoms ranging from 31% to 70%, while the placebo controls reported either no change or a worsening of symptoms. Wilcoxon-Rank of .002 for the end-points of sneezing, nasal congestion and runny nose; and p = .005 for IgE reductions. In 1992, the above mentioned data from 1988 on were presented by Dr. O''Connor to the FDA. The FDA panel acknowledged the safety of the treatment. The panel seemed to be in agreement that the statistics indicated a significant reduction in IgE and that a quantitative drop in symptoms was demonstrated. In 1992, Belen Anibarro, MD, studied five ducati 916 senna children with asthma with metabisulfite intolerance confirmed by oral challenge testing. the test was repeated after premedication with 1.5 mg of oral cyanocobalamin. in four of the five patients treated, bronchospasm did not develop in the second metabisulfite challenge.6

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. senna they are called suppressor cells senna or cd8+ lymphocytes. they senna “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 senna 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, this medicationtm turns at least some allergic people into non-allergic or moderately-allergic people.
