I think that that is ridiculous. Anything intended for IM injection
(or any internal use) is pharmacy quality. No matter WHAT the
origin, it is pure and sterile when it gets to the distribution
bottle. As an aside, if you have ever used skin/ face cream, you're
putting human waste materials on your skin... one of the main
ingredients is carbamide, aka urea, aka urine.

And if it helps you, so what? To forgo something that helps you
because of its origin, is silly, childish, and ignorant -- especially
since everything intended for IM injection has been sterilized,
processed, tested, and approved. The water you drink has been
reclaimed from waste water. The fact that the water is processed or
sterilized is the key.

It would be nice if there were pure vitamin B-12 trees, grown in a
sterile environment, under glassed geodesic domes, available for
free. Instead, manufacturers make their products from materials
chosen because of several economic variables -- include price AND
potential for future law-suits. Companies are being wrecklessly sued
right and left for trying to do good... only a truly foolish director
would have his/her company making toxic medicine, and people don't
get to be directors by being stupid.

I can't either. And I don't.

Possible made from "plant poop".

And, if our bodies were functioning correctly, there would be no
cancer, MS, FM, etc.
