Does KdM also treat CFS-related methylation issues??

I posted a message on this forum last week enquiring whether anyone could recommend a doctor / practitioner (in Europe) who specialises in CFS-related methylation issues? Am surprised no-one has chipped in with any suggestions!

I have read about Dr Kenny De Meirlier and his work with CFS patients at his Belgian clinic, but does he also treat people who have methylation issues?

As far as I know he doesn't "focus" on methylation but includes injectible B12 and folate in most of the protocols he gives.

Ok thanks, but to determine whether someone needs extra B12 shots / folate or has a methylation block, does he run any specific tests for this other than a standard blood test?

He runs extensive blood tests, but not any (at least for me--though I brought him such tests and he reviewed them) that specifically determine a patient's methylation status.
