If anyone wants a lab reference for what is very abnormal this is a quick chart

For example my magnesium was .5 And nobody told me... i had to ask
Panic level is <1.0


also i found out this about b12

http://www.mayomedicallaboratories.com/interpretive-guide/

"A normal serum concentration of vitamin B12 does not rule out tissue deficiency of vitamin B12. The most sensitive test for vitamin B12 deficiency at the cellular level is the assay for MMA. If clinical symptoms suggest deficiency, measurement of MMA and homocysteine should be considered, even if serum vitamin B12 concentrations are normal."
