It was 1998 and I was working at my life’s mission at a non-stop pace.

Private cooking for a number of families; teaching cooking classes and various volunteer work filled my days. 

I was fatigued at night but took on each new day with vigor. What could go wrong? Well, everything.

It happened at a cooking class I was teaching. I was uncharacteristically irritable and annoyed with just about everything. The class was finally over and I was putting away the last of my utensils when it hit me… 

I felt a pain in the soft spot at the base of my skull that can only be described as an ice pick to my brain. I lost all motor control and my husband called 911 in a panic. 

My diagnosis came down to one deficiency.

A brainstem aneurysm was the diagnosis but since I didn’t fit the criteria for one of these, the specialists were stymied. 

So began a series of tests to determine the cause. Twelve days and lots of inconclusive results later, my neurosurgeon found the cause. Apparently I was born with four brainstem aneurysms. 

My supplement-free vegan diet of more than 20 years left me sorely lacking in the essential vitamin, B12. Coupled with exhaustion, my homocysteine levels skyrocketed, causing one of the little bubbles at the base of my brain to burst and bleed.

Wait…what? 

I ate a perfectly balanced vegan diet, with lots of whole grains, veggies, beans, nuts, seeds, fruit, and good quality fats. Or did I? 

Turns out, regardless of diet, many of us may need to supplement Vitamin B12. But what’s the best way for our bodies to absorb this precious and essential vitamin? 

For me, after some experimentation, it came down a combination of B12 injections and Breathe B12 for my day-to-day wellness and to keep my levels where they should be, which isn’t always easy. 

After days of testing, it was discovered that I do not store B12 in the way most people do, so my levels drop quickly. 

As a result, before I discovered this new way to take B12, I was forced to get injections every 10 days. It was a lot, especially with my travel schedule. I was always trying to figure out how to travel with syringes and keep them intact.

When I first discovered Breathe B12, I was admittedly skeptical. And that was years before the current media coverage of vaping and e-cigarettes. But we should be careful not to lump all breathable products into the “dangerous vape” category.

Does Breathe-ing B12 work…and is it safe?

The inhalation science of B12 dates back 60+ years. During that time, it has been shown that B12 inhalation can be orders of magnitude more efficient than oral supplementation, and completely non-toxic. Read more about the science here.

Recent studies have gotten closer to solving the problem with some vaping products and, turns out, it comes down largely to Vitamin E Acetate in black-market THC products and nicotine.  

The ingredients in Breathe are 100% natural, as simple and pure as it gets: Vegetable Glycerin USP, Deionized Water, Organic Fruit Flavor Extract (Water, Organic Ethyl Alcohol, and Natural Flavors), Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)

In addition to using better, safer ingredients, it’s a product where 5-10 breaths every couple of days is many times your Daily Value. That’s a big difference compared to using it for 100s of times a day like other products.  

Breathe also uses low power tech that doesn’t carbonize and create the same dangerous byproducts that high powered devices can. I also found it assuring that unlike products that could be made in someone’s basement for all you know, Breathe’s formula is made in the USA in ISO certified facilities. 

Since I have added the inhaler to my B12 regimen, I am able to extend my time between injections and keep my levels…and as a result, my energy even and reliable. Just a couple of doses a week has helped me to discover my B12 balance and maintain it. I have the blood tests to prove it!

No wonder some doctors are describing Breathe as “a breakthrough concept for delivering B12.”

I use this product every day and feel 100% safe and comfortable doing so because:

• Breathe mixes their ingredients in America under ISO and GMP conditions
• They never use nicotine, tobacco, vitamin E acetate, diacetyl, acetyl propionyl, THC, or cannabinoids 
• B12 is safe to take in high quantity, far exceeding the amount in each of our diffusers
• Existing doctor-run and published studies found similar forms of B12 inhalation to be both “safe and effective’”
• You only need 5-10 breaths to get a substantial amount of B12, in contrast to 100s, as with other products
• Breathe use low power atomizers that don’t overheat the ingredients
• Breathe is committed to safety and never cut corners in this crucial respect
