A member asked:
Can using b12 injections for a long time cause cancer? i like b12 injection which is done by a woman nurse. i'm on it since 4 years. is it dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO but why use it???: Indiscriminate use of B12 injections is ill advised. Unless you have a medical reason(?deficiency) I would advise you to stop it before you create a new problem...No injections are entirely safe.
