    23andme results and questions

    Caledonia: I have been on a variety of things to kill the Candida, just forgot to mention. Have done the stool tests recently but waiting for results. I have read several places that some folks really couldn't kill off their Candida until they removed their amalgams and chelated the metals...

    23andme results and questions

    Critterina: Sorry, I can't figure out how to reply to a post and have the part I'm replying to be in the orange box. Yes, I am taking 500 mcg of the Perque (probly had the wrong glasses on!). I take it between the cheek and gum, but haven't been rotating locations. And last week I had a big...

    23andme results and questions

    Thanks, Critterina, Sherpa, and Caledonia for your helpful ideas! The last few days have been kind of intense. I saw my doc right after I wrote that post. My K+ is fine, but my liver enzymes have gone up. My SGPT was just barely elevated in early May and late June, but now it is 137 (normal...

My main symptoms have been hand/wrist pain (esp. tendonitis), arm, shoulder, neck, and low back pain. My pain was much better for a few years while I...

    Can someone direct me to Amy Yasko's chart that tells you which B12 to try based on your COMT and VDR? Or maybe I am not describing it correctly...

    Treating CBS Mutation

    Critterina, Is there different post that shows how you figured out that the CBS mutations don't cause a 10X upregulation? Or can you direct me somewhere else?

    Potassium with B12/folate?

    Are you supposed to supplement potassium when starting mB12 and methylfolate? I see mention of this, but don't know what it's about. I have tried to search on this site for this, but not finding info. If so, how much potassium? Is there an easy way to take it (non-pill) for my teen? What's...

    She says it happened from day 1. I now have her on 1/4 tablet of Methyl B12 Plus, she is using as a lozenge only (not chewing/swallowing) and she says the nausea is not occurring. "Skin cracking and peeling at fingertips" She did have this last spring for a short time, but the only "folate"...

    Running 23andme anonymously?

    I am thinking about doing the 23andme testing anonymously, as best I can. I really don't want them to have my genetic data linked to my name, and even more so my child's genetic data linked to a name forever. Trying to avoid the possiblity of our data being used against us when we try to obtain...

    Is 23andMe worth it?

    Can anyone else confirm this last sentence?? I am holding back on ordering 23and me. Really want to test my daughter, but hate for her genetic data to be bought and sold over the her next 70-80 years on the planet! Upwards

    B12/Metafolin nausea?

    My 15 year old (who has Lyme, and likely MCS), recently started taking Methyl B12 Plus from Douglas Labs. This is a lozenge with 400 mcg Metafolin and 1000 mcg Methylcobalamin. She says that after about 1/4 or less has melted in her mouth, she starts to feel nauseous. Then she's been chewing it...

    B12/Folate nausea?

    (Sorry, I can't see how to delete my post; I just reposted it in Detox, because that looks like a more appropriate place.) My 15 year old (who has Lyme, and likely MCS), recently started taking Methyl B12 Plus from Douglas Labs. This is a lozenge with 400 mcg Metafolin and 1000 mcg...
