David,

>Could you briefly summarize the effects of B-12 deficiency?

is this rhetorical?  the effects are available on many resources, surely
available to you.

>I know that
several of us who have tried the raw vegan diet for an extended period,
especially a heavily fruit-biased version, have experienced dental
problems.

yes, dental problems can occur - with any diet.
yes, it's possible that raw veganism may cause more tooth problems
than other diets.

>Can that be accounted for by a B-12 deficiency?

no, I don't think so.

Gary -

Could you briefly summarize the effects of B-12 deficiency? I know that
several of us who have tried the raw vegan diet for an extended period,
especially a heavily fruit-biased version, have experienced dental
problems. Can that be accounted for by a B-12 deficiency?

Thanks,

David

It seems to me that your symptoms are signs of a possible b12
deficiency. I'm not sure why you seem to rule that out, Jo.
