Question 1

Hi, my blood report includes the remark ALERT, Predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes. I would like to understand what this means. My report shows, Hemoglobin is 12.8 g/dL, MCV is 109.9 fL, MCH is 33.2 pg, MCHC is 30.3 g/dL, RDWSD is 59.3 fL, RDWCV is 14.4 percent. Could you please explain the significance of these findings?

Question 2

I got my blood test report, which shows that I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. However, I eat eggs and other non vegetarian foods regularly, so I am not sure why my levels are low. What could be the reason, and how can I bring my B12 levels back to normal?

Question 3

I recently underwent Vamanam, Virechana, and Vasti. Since childhood, I have experienced very poor concentration, difficulty with memory retention (especially verbal), wrinkled and dry skin, continuous gas and bloating.
After these three Panchakarma treatments, I felt some improvement, especially in memory retention, though the issue still persists. An allopathy doctor reviewed my blood report and mentioned that I lack certain enzymes and minerals essential for metabolism. He also suggested I may have fatty liver or chronic fatty liver, which could lead to toxins in the blood affecting brain concentration, thinking, and memory.
Would undergoing Raktamokshana help me?

Are vitamin B12 injections painful?

No they are not very painful. Depends upon how the phlebotomist is administering it to you.
