DNA Methylation Pathway, UAA questions.....

Hi All,

Looking to treat fatigue, cholesterol issues, dealing with gene mutations, etc

I have become overwhelmed with information and continue to confuse myself on how to treat everything. I don't want to be locked into a practictioner that does testing and also pushes their supplements. I am trying to do most of this myself. Any input would be great!

DNA Pathway planner (Mutations below)
SHMT/C1420T +/- Hetero
MTHFR/A1298C +/- Hetero
MTRR/A66G +/- Hetero
BHMT 1/2/4/8 +/- Hetero
CBS/C699T and A360A +/- Hetero
COMT/V158M +/+ A
COMT/H62H +/+ T
MAO A/R297R +/+ T

Urine Amino Acids Test (Listing high/low only except ammonia which seems important)
Methionine 5.5 (Range 9-56) low
Lysine 36 (Range 45-700) low
Taurine 1540 (Range 350-1850) high
Ammonia 24000 (Range 12000-65000) Ok
Glutamine 210 (Range 190-725) low
Serine 170 (Range 140-568) low
Beta-Alanine 37 (Range <35) high
Anserine 290 (Range <110) high
Carnosine 120 (Range <60) high
Cystathione 6 (Range 9-65) low
1-Methylhistidine 500 (Range 80-450) high
Alpha-Amino-N-Butyrate 5.7 (Range 8-90

Singulex Multipanel lab
Uric Acid is at risk (Went up from last lab)
Total Cholesterol is high, LDL high, HDL 67, APO B at risk
Vitamin D >120 High
Estradiol Low
Homocysteine this lab 9, previous lab 13.
B12 875 (Range >210)
Folate 17.1 (Range >4.6)
Cortisol ok (Presiously tanked out did supplementing in the past)

Run 3-5 week
Bulletproof coffee AM
Eat fairly well
High stress/Anxiousness once in a while.

Listened to Dr. Ben Lynch a LOT and read the info from Dr. Amy Yasko that came with my pathway planner.

Currently taking:
MTHFRade (Electrolyte drink)
Vitamin E
Probiotic
B1
Molybdenum
Zinc
B6 (P-5-P)

Did B12 Methylcobalamin and 5-MTHF did seem like it helped. Also took Hydroxy as its supposed to be better for me because of my mutations. I felt REALLY anxious from it one day. So I stopped taking B12/Folate.

Any input would be great! Thanks. Shane.
