During this time more than 400 patients have been treated with oral and parenteral liver extracts, intrinsic factor preparations, and injectable B12 solutions. Some of the patients who have been followed continuously and are still reporting to the clinic have been on oral therapy for 29 years; others, on intrinsic factor preparations, parenteral liver or B12 solutions for as long as 26 to 27 years.During the last...Bibliography1.
