with the changes in values are you feling better, have your symps improved? if so which ones? thanks so much for sharing. we have some similar numbers. did you use Rich's protocol or Fredds?
Hi guys- an update! I just received results from my second methylation panel, and there has been quite a bit of improvement!
My first test was done on 2/16/12, but I only began the methylation protocol in late March. The second test was done on 5/30/12, so only two months into treatment.
Here are the results of my first test from 2/16:
Glutathione (oxidised): 0.54 (range 0.16-0.50)
Glutathione (reduced): 2.6 (range 3.8-5.5)
S-Adenosymethionine (RBC): 240 (range 221-256)
S-Adenosylhomocysteine (RBC) 53.8 (range 28.0-49.0)
5-CH3-THF: 15.3 (range 8.4-72.6)
10-Formyl-THF: 3.9 (range 1.5-8.2)
5-Formyl-THF: 4.70 (range 1.20-11.70)
THF: 0.40 (range 0.60-6.80)
Folic Acid: 14.8 (range 8.9-24.6)
Folinic Acid (WB): 12.7 (range 9.0-35.5)
Folic Acid (RBC): 382 (range 400-1500)
Adenosine: 24.8 (range 16.8-21.4)
And here are the results of the second test from 5/30:
Glutathione (oxidised): 0.50 (range 0.16-0.50)
Glutathione (reduced): 3.5 (range 3.8-5.5)
S-Adenosymethionine (RBC): 249 (range 221-256)
S-Adenosylhomocysteine (RBC) 50.5 (range 28.0-49.0)
5-CH3-THF: 19.2 (range 8.4-72.6)
10-Formyl-THF: 3.6 (range 1.5-8.2)
5-Formyl-THF: 3.90 (range 1.20-11.70)
THF: 0.59 (range 0.60-6.80)
Folic Acid: 18.2 (range 8.9-24.6)
Folinic Acid (WB): 16.8 (range 9.0-35.5)
Folic Acid (RBC): 409 (range 400-1500)
Adenosine: 21.9 (range 16.8-21.4)
Reduced glutathione is still low, but it rose from 2.6 to 3.5, oxidized glutathione has decreased into the normal range, SAH has decreased, THF has increased, RBC folic acid has increased into the normal range, and adenosine has decreased.
Just wanted to share what looks like good news. I guess I'll be continuing with the protocol, along with dealing with some nutrient deficiencies, gut issues and (possible) Lyme disease.
(For future reference,) my current meds and supplements are:
Doxycycline 200mg
Plaquenil 400mg
Florastor
Grapefruit Seed Extract 1500mg
Methylcobalamin injection 5mg every 3 days
B-complex injections once a week
Folinic acid 800mcg
L-methylfolate 400mcg
B-complex (has folic acid 400mcg (yeah yeah..))
Phosphatidylserine
Rhodiola rosea 300mg
Magnesium oil
Cheers!
