Hi everyone,
Based on a methylation blood test from Health Diagnostics and Research Institute/ European Laboratory of Nutrients, my doctor told me I had an MTHFR gene mutation. I don't see where it says that on the report, but the report does say I'm low in everything (reduced glutathione, S-Adenosylmethionine, S-Adenosylhomocysteine, all the folic acid derivitives).
Then, yesterday, I got my 23andMe results. I ran them through GeneticGenie and it says I have no MTHFR mutations. I'm not sure where to go from here. For the past month I was researching Yasko/Rich VanK etc., taking nothing, waiting for the results, so I could start supplements in the correct order.
If GeneticGenie says there are no MTHFR mutations, do I NOT do the methylation protocol? What about the blood test from my doctor showing low glutathione? He thinks I should supplement with methylfolate and methylB12, but I haven't seen a doctor yet that knows anything about ME/CFS, so I'm hesitant to trust what they tell me to do.
Are there other gene mutations I can tackle? I'm such a novice and so, so sick... I could really use some help! Thank you.
