B6 toxicity

B6 toxicity

Here I am again.  Thanks to you guys, I became aware of the effects of B6 toxicity.  I was tentatively diagnosed with Parkinson's, but I never really bought it.  I asked for a blood test and had one about 8 days after I stopped the B supplements.  I was getting about 113 mg. of B6 from the supplements plus whatever I got from food.  The result of the test was 94, and from what I understand, it should not be more than about 30(?)  The doctor didnt seem very interested in that fact.  The info online I've found is minimal.  Anyone have any suggestions for books or web sites that would provide more in-depth info?  Thanks!!!

there is little it seems, of any info on the web or otherwise.
most tout the benefits of B-6, and suggest toxicity is very rare.
on medline i believe, you can find a little.  there was a small study
finding some get toxic problems at low doses, i.e. about 115mgs.
a day.
it could be, that anyone on certain meds that stress the liver, or have
a disease, or maybe just a genetic makeup that does not allow them
to metabolize B-6 in large amounts, is the issue.  it doesn't seem
many are interested in the effects, no money in the research is a likely
problem.
