Hello all,  I increased my dosage of b12 and folic acid it's been about 3 months now but the spots are almost gone.

Hope this helps someone else.

Thanks!

what is the current dosage you take !??

 

thanks

Hi,  Sorry it took so long for me to respond.  I started out taking 1000mg b12 and 400mg Folic acid once a day.  Then I moved to twice a day and now I take it 3 times a day.  I would suggest to gradually increase to make sure you can handle the extra dosage.  I still have not tried the product on merryclinic.com but as soon as I am financially able I will.  I think it will speed up the process even more.  But I don't know yet.  Good luck

Is that all you took ... B12 and Folic Acid!?
No B6 or Vit C or Calcium or even Magnesium ?!

How long did u take the two vitamines for, to see a the result of frickling ?!

Thanks

I did this for about 2 months and I didn't see any frickling the color just started to get darker over all.  I am African American so there is a big difference although the spots are not yet the same color as the rest of my skin.  I do plan to get the pills from the merryclinic.com as soon as I can because I think that will just make them completely go away.

Now you ask about b6, vit c and mag....well I take a lot of natural supplements even before this.  I never assoicated it with any of those because I have always taken them.. I take 1000mg of chewable vit c everyday, I alos take 1 oz of noni jusice everyday,  I don't take any b6 but I do take mag which is in other supplements that I take...like I take this one supplement that has 17 vit and min in it for eyesight from the rebuild my vision program.  So it is very likely that some of this coupled with the b12 and folic acid are doing the trick.  One thing I can say for sure no more spots have appeared.  Hope this helps!!!!  Let me know.

So are you saying that you didn't begin to see any results at all until you started taking 1000mg of B12 & 400mg of folic acid three times a day for a total of 3000mg & 1200mg, respectively, per day?  That's a huge dosage. 

The first spot that ever appeared on me (the diameter of a pencil eraser) about 7 years ago seems to be less noticeable.  The border is not as defined, so I'd like to think that it is reversible.  I didn't do anything at all.  However, in the past year, two more larger spots have appeared, the biggest one being about the size of a silver dollar.  I have no idea how long they took to appear.  My husband noticed them  b/c they're on the back of my thighs.
