Sorry, not a twin.

Looks like you really need methylfolate. And some, but not so much, the methylB12.

Does methylfolate cause neuro symptoms? I have seen where someone here was recommended folinic acid and BH2 to level out their supply of folate because they seemed sensitive to taking methylfolate directly. And she had SNP sort of like you, if I remember correctly.

Many thanks for your input, Crit.
When I tried it back in March I took too high a dose... I'm not sure what I run into. Lack of cofactors for sure.
I got breathlessness, anxiety, panic attacks, low potassium, food intolerances, agitation, sleeplessness (several weeks w/o yawning), wired & tired, weight loss, you name it. I am getting prepared to restart at a low dose.

Just got my Sterling's Report.

I am posting the +/+ and +/- results here in the hope to get some tips about what to look at and address first, since due to a current situation in my life I really don't have the time right now to delve in it with the needed attention.

I will be very thankful for inputs, even if to let me know if "it is all in my head"...

yup, we're related :hug:

You already know about the MAO A sensitivity we share but I compared my results to the ones you posted here and .... eh... 7 out of 11 match, including the two red ones!
What does this this list concern? I know post 1 is about Methylation. What is post 2 about, Detox?

I only share two of your red markers in this post.

METHYLATION:
MTHFS rs6495446 C CC +/+

MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION:
I have AA on COX5A rs8042694 G GG +/+
I have AA on NDUFS7 rs2332496 A AG +/-
I share your TT NDUFS7 rs1142530 T TT +/+

On the IgE I have no result for CD14 rs2569191

All other homozygous results I did not share.

But Valentijn says it's common as dirt. Here.

Yes, Liver metabolism (aka detox)
I don't care about how common they are... What I really want to know is in what extent they add to my personal burden. All of them in combination sure make me unhealthy :grumpy: An SNP that means nothing for someone healthy might be making me sicker.

Of course I know my health problems can't be entirely blamed on my genes.

Actually in an ideal world they would work wonderfully, just like for everybody else who is healthy with the same SNPs.... But the pharma, dental, agro and food industry have surely made things harder for me and my microbiome:bang-head:

Thanks for chiming in here @WoolPippi :hug: your posts always make me learn a bit more about how to better deal with my health :angel:

Take this one for instance
F5 (Factor V Leiden) rs6025 T CT +/-
In 2011 I had 3 blood clots. The hematologist said my blood clots could not be blamed on this heterozygous SNP. He said more than half of the people walking right now on the streets are heterozygous for it as well.

If you look to my other blood clotting factors they are all either +/- or -/-. My husband has one +/+ and never had a blood clot.

Nevertheless, I had 3 blood clots o_O

The dr. who made a dynamic ultrasound in my shoulders found out that I have a Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, and this was the cause to my blood clots, + taking the pill and a number of other unknown environmental issues.

Also just recently I found out that a +/+MTHFR adds to excessive blood clotting. My husband is +/- for them.

So each SNP is a piece of a single puzzle and I am the only person who can assemble it.

Hi G-d,
I would check if the DAO mutations could cause a lack of the DAO enzyme (that you luckily could add as a supplement). You can just try supplementing it before meals and see if it makes any change to the better. I don´t know more, just I want to alert you on this.

ACE ++ You shouldn´t take ACE inhibitors

Your heterozygot CYPs might have an effect on detoxification of meds.
http://medicine.iupui.edu/clinpharm/ddis/main-table/

You surely are aware of your probable need for methylfolate ;-). Just some thoughts after a quick look.

It has been a dead end for me because there is something wrong with my uric acid metabolism. MFolate raises purines and I end up with metabolic acidosis :(

As for the other ones you metioned, I have never really looked deeper into them. Thanks for the heads up :thumbsup:

May I ask what tests you had to confirm this? I have high uric acid too for some reason.

Adding DAO enzyme has been a real change for some people I know who had problems of unknown origin with foods. They just bought the supplement and tested and eureka their food intolerances vanished. If it always could be that simple....

the liver! all kinds of bells starting to chime in tune here. :thumbsup:

My liver is vulnerable, it's the first organ to struggle when I'm having stress.
And I'm very sensitive to all kinds of little doses of things. Can be drugs, can be metals. (especially Al and Hg have a profound effect)
The upside is I can test substances out with a tiny little amount, to find if it works. What nuggets have you discovered concerning these detox SNPs?

remember that time that we didn't know this and both took mB12 by the handfull? :whistle:

Maybe we shouldn´t hijack G-lands thread as this has been a special interest for me in the search for why some people get sick from amalgam and others don´t. Did you post your detox panel in any thread? If not, could you do that and I will try to answer your question.

May I ask what tests you had to confirm this? I have high uric acid too for some reason.
Unfortunately I only found a good nephrologist after healing myself at home. But my symptoms matched the description of metabolic acidosis while my kidneys still work perfectly. Apparently one will only be diagnosed with it at the ER if the kidneys are shutting down. My signals at the ER were:
- low body temperature 34.6°C
- serum sodium in the top range
- serum potassium in the top range
- creatinine normal in the middle of the range

They sent me home and suggested I was having an anxiety attack. I have never been an anxious person.
The following day I saw my hematologist and was able to convince him to give me an order to test for serum and urine magnesium. Serum Mg was in the top of the range and urine Mg very low below range. Then I knew I needed Mg, but at this point I had already tried glycinate, sulfate, citrate and aspartate with no success. Sometime later I decided to give Mg oxide a go and then all my acidosis symptoms quickly subsided, along with sodium bicarb baths.

Then when I found a nephrologist who ordered all the proper tests (incl 24h urine) all my electrolytes were in mid-range, uric acid highish inside range, oxalate very low below range.

So these are the only tricks I know to keep uric acid low: MgO + Na bicarb. Other people who tried it had problems with candida overgrowth :(

So for now I put Mfolate in the back burner, because too much Mg lowered my Ca, and it is a snowball. I don't want to supplement with calcium. I have even restarted to eat dairy (yogurt, curd and cheese) to increase calcium input, since plant sources contain too much salicylates...

Adding DAO enzyme has been a real change for some people I know who had problems of unknown origin with foods.
The only foods I have been intolerant to are avocado and coconut oil, and by principle gluten, soy, nightshades (except for potatoes) and milk are out of my menu. So between taking another supplement or leaving avocados out, I leave avocados out. Unless if it could eliminate my constant bloating o_O

Unfortunately I will have to live without imported supplements for now that my scholarship ended and currency conversion went crazy.

And I'm very sensitive to all kinds of little doses of things. Can be drugs, can be metals. (especially Al and Hg have a profound effect)
Just like me!
The upside is I can test substances out with a tiny little amount, to find if it works.
Just like me!

I haven't found out much about them :meh:
remember that time that we didn't know this and both took mB12 by the handfull? :whistle:
Exactly like me :jaw-drop: :hug: :love:
Maybe we shouldn´t hijack G-lands thread
Please do :thumbsup:
his has been a special interest for me in the search for why some people get sick from amalgam and others don´t.
I am very interested in that!

Please tag me when you do that, ladies, as I don't want to miss this discussion :thumbsup:

It did tell me I'm vulnerable to Warfarine and heroine.
:bulb:
Yes, I read about that in my reports as well. In 2011 when I had the blood clots I spent the whole Easter holiday (total 4 nights) in the hospital taking heparin injections. And when I left I had a prescription for warfarin. From this episode onwards I could not sleep on the left side because of the blood clots on my left shoulder, and could not sleep on the right side due to a mysterious pain...
Left shoulder or right? The main messenteric lymph node drains into your blood circulation under the left shoulder blade. Could as you say also be gb pain, this is caused by the endotoxins, and when your liver, pancreas, and/or galbladder start to hurt, you need to slow down.

p.s.--When patient's present with an acute abdomen, they commonly present with referred shoulder pain, but for some reason I am thinking it is more often the right shoulder, so the location might suggest whether this is intrabdominal inflammation or lymphatic contribution.
I took warfarin for 1.5 years, but the specific pain on the right shoulder remained, plus a FM-like pain all over the body.

After that I had some pain-free moments:
- 1 year after having stopped the warfarin I went gluten-free, and all the pain was gone until I took some abx rounds and the pains came back
- 6 months later I took my 1st sublingual MB12, and all pain was gone again, but came back after another med round
- it just disappeared now that I upped my T3 and dropped the anti-depressant 2 weeks ago o_O

OK, I finally got the message, my liver can't handle meds :bang-head:

I think you got these two backwards. The alleles or genotypes listed are the risky ones, so you're -/- on both.

If "G is protective" or similar is mentioned, it's because the riskier version is the most common version ... so having +/+ for those is just normal, rather than being an increased risk, and a few people get lucky and get the slightly faster -/- version.

@Valentijn maybe I can get a little more clarity with this example. The first one you quote, re TT, I also have. My snptips, when I mouse over that rs, says it's TT on the + strand.

In the 2nd one, I'm AG on the + strand.

You say, The alleles or genotypes listed are the risky ones.... Does this mean that all of the above are risky? That every time I look at my Promethease chart, or these rs numbers that become highlighted when I'm on a page listing those I have, these are always risky? I know I've tried to get this matter clear couple of times, so appreciate your explanation. thx
