"The doctor of the future will give no drugs but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
Thomas A. Edison
The action of all the B vitamins is synergistic. Deficiencies of the unsupplied vitamins may produce abnormalities which can do more harm than the vitamins obtained can do good.
Keep in mind that drugs of any kind tremendously increase nutritional requirements.
"Despite the need for improved nutrition, I can find one study of a mere 32 allergic children in which an attempt was made to give an adequate diet. These youngsters, who suffered from bronchial asthma and allergic eczema, were given generous amounts of protein, no refined carbohydrates, adequate essential fatty acids, and a daily supplement of 600 mg of vitamin C, 32 mg of vitamin E, 20,000 and 800 units respectively of vitamins A and D, and moderate amounts of the B vitamins. Most of these children recovered in a single month and all within two months." Adelle Davis, from Let's Get Well.

"It is a sad fact that allergies and nutrition--two major forces in human health--receive little attention in medical school and constitute an area of vast ignorance in contemporary medical practice."
