    Thanks for the link which I read, Paul. I found it pretty technical, probably because biochemistry always does my head in. It's worse than physical chemistry. However I googled "Vitamin B12 contraindications .gov .edu" which revealed this abstract written in terms even I could understand.

    Vitamin B12 in Health and Disease (nih.gov)

    Most of the literature relates to B12 deficiency but there appears to be contradictions on toxicity across various publications. Some say none and others report a range of effects. In desperation, I pulled out my very old copy of The Merck Index (7th Edition) which often includes toxicity data, LD50s etc. on almost any chemical you could name. No luck.

    This topic reminds me of a friend who was asked to work on the elimination of carp in Australia. Almost all the scientific abstracts were about how to breed them for food rather than get rid of them.

    Thanks Mick

    I read as much as I could and now I have a headache!



    My take is that there is much conjecture about B12 and much that is unknown, which is compounded by contradictory results: My research needs to continue I think.

    Regards
    Paul

    PS: I am not a fisherman, despite once having worked for a fishing magazine, but I don't think carp in Australia need any help at all to breed. They are probably the aquatic equivalent of the rabbit.

    The pressure is on to fill a biggish lumber order at the tree loppers yard.

    My job is not to cut bulk amounts of wood but to service and maintain two bandsaw mills including sharpening and setting the blades for these mills.

    There's plenty of fork lift-age and crane-age to move heavy stuff around - just gotta remember to use em although climbing up onto the seat of the fork lift loader gets pretty tiring after a while

    When we had just the one saw mill and no big orders, I was working about about two mornings a month at this and occasionally I would cut something for for myself but with the pressure of getting the big order out the door and now having two mills has seen me doing about 3 mornings a week over the last month. On the days I work I start at about 7am and get home between about 1 and 2 pm , usually knackered but there's no doubt I'm sleeping much better at night. Get up less often- sleep deeper and wake up refreshed even though I do have more aches and pains.

    The big mill is outside under some Lemon scented gums and its quite pleasant working on it, even when its hot as we are not far from the beach so the Fremantle doctor starts to cool things down by about 11am. Usually I'm working by myself but I quite like that. Its very satisfying work when the mills are cutting straight and packs of timber leave the yard but its a right PITA when the mills are not working. However, I still find it challenging and eventually satisfying solving the problems. I get to see some amazing wood just after its fresh cut and can snaffle the odd piece or 2 or 3. I take some of the offcuts to the mens shed where I used to be a member. Also I sell some slabs and bibs and bobs that I store at the tree loppers yard..

    I don't how long I can keep this up but I hope its for a while longer.
