Fatima Parker is the leader of the Middle East and North Africa Branch of the UK Pernicious Anemia Society, she was interviewed on MBC TV about the B12 deficiency anema and she said that this anemia, causes symptoms such as paresthesias, dementia, mental illness, tremor, and difficulty ambulating. B12 deficiency is commonly misdiagnosed as Alzheimers disease, depression, diabetic neuropathy, vertigo, mini-strokes, and early Parkinsons disease.

B12 deficiency is very common (especially in people over age 60) because of poor stomach acid production, specific drugs, diet, and preexisting diseases. All seniors who fall should be screened for underlying B12 deficiency as it causes dizziness and problems with balance. Screening these high risk patients, however, is a rarity.

Unfortunately, there is an extensive knowledge deficit in the medical community regarding B12 deficiency, Fatima Parker says that, No one is exempt—this includes celebrities, politicians, and the average citizen. The recent gastric bypass craze will also create more victims over time if their doctors fail to properly test and treat them.
Our goal is to create a standard of care change in the testing, work-up and recognition of B12 deficiency to protect society from its all too common misdiagnosis.
