I have been studying B12 deficiency and autoimmune pernicious anemia for 20 years. Out of frustration and frequent misdiagnosis of patients I cared for, I wrote a book titled, "Could It Be B12? An Epidemic of Misdiagnoses," Quill Driver Books, 2005--for the public, health care professionals and the medical community. It is outrageous there is such a knowledge deficit regarding B12 deficiency, and people are being injured and disabled because of poor education.
