By knowing in advance that you have this condition you are positioned to address the issues and recover even more quickly than you might have. Since it is estimated that 45% of the population have this "abnormality" you may not be alone in facing this. Many of our community members who use this protocol successfully may likely share this issue with you without knowing it. This protocol could still be the answer for you, it just requires adjustments. I hope you won't let that discourage you. You mentioned taking methyl folate and, I assume the methylated form of B12. My understanding is that it is not all that uncommon for the this treatment to cause people with methylation issues to open up the detox pathways too quickly and the body to become too toxic. You might already know about Dr. Ben Lynch and his work on healing the mythletion pathways. If not, you should visit his site which is www.MTHFR.Net and learn more about treatment options, how to ramp up on medications very slowly, and how to reduce the effects of an over-release of toxicity with something called nicotinic acid. A great article to start with for anyone suspecting they may be dealing with a methylation defect is this one: http://www.dearpharmacist.com/2013/08/08/2394/ It is easy to read and understand and has all the information you need to get started in treating this condition. Just one more thought for you Caroline. . . I want to encourage you that while you may need to attempt this protocol with caution and care, it can and will be of great help to you even if certain components need to be avoided. I have an autoimmune disorder that forces me to fore-go about a third of the protocol medications. I also have mild methylation issues. When my autoimmunity first kicked-in at about 14 months on this protocol, I nearly gave up hope and assumed I would never get well since I could not take all the protocol. I was wrong. I am getting well with an adjusted protocol, even after 20 years of chronic Lyme and now Morgellons. Mind you. . . it is taking me longer and is more complicated than it is for most of our community members here, but with God's grace and the help of amazing people here in our community, I am getting there. I hope you won't give up on this approach. . . just find ways to customize it to your own limitations and needs. It does work and I believe is the answer for us all. . . with some tweaking for a few of us ;-) ! I will be praying that our Heavenly Father will be guiding you and giving you wisdom and grace to find that perfect path for your own healing. Deborah B. |
