Hi everybody!
hope your are doing well or at least better than yesterday! I've got a few questions regarding Fred's protocol. Just to be clear I haven't done 23andme test yet because I don't have money for it, but it's on to do list. So basically I'm not 100% sure I have MTFHR mutation.
My health problems started 3 years ago when I drastically changed my lifestyle. I did sports all my life, but eating crap, suddenly I have decided to start eating vegetables. A lot of vegetables. Plate of vegetable with every meal which translates into 3-4 pounds of vegetables everyday. On top of that I have cut my calories to 1500, exercising 3-4 hours a day. Dosing excess zinc of 80 mg a day. 5 month into this protocol I have completely break out, figuring out I have serious health issues.
I started to look for reasons, tried a lot of treatments and some of them work and help me cope and some were one-way road. Things I know deal with for sure.
1. Histamine Intolerance
2.Salicylate Sensitivity
3. Chronically high cortisol as confirmed by ASI. I believe this one is linked to my chronically lower calorie intake, as a t first when I went from 1500 cal a day to 2000 it get better, but now it stalls even despite consistent use of Seriphos 1 year+.
I would love to increase my fat intake as I'm at the moment eating only 40g a day which is very little for my size, but I can't. The reason for that is anytime I try some extra fat or oil in meal I get badly depressed and headache, sometimes itching too. Only thing I can tolerate is organic lard, but just one TBSP a day. Anymore gives me headache and itch.All these experiments I did with meals containing veggies
Few days back I went to the Boulevard with my family to get some food, I was prepared to pay a price for histamine but oddly enough nothing happened. The meal I had was histamine bomb, even extra cheese in it and after eating it, I had no headache, bad mood or itching at all. There were no vegetables in here and at that moment my last veggie intake was probably 6 hour back or so. Day after that I decided to made an experiment and to not eat any vegetables at all. I was able to tolerate 5 TBSP of lard without symptoms or they were quite mild, probably could do more, but I was too full to try that. Also I have noticed after 5000 of sublingual b12 my bowels sink to the bottom. My bowels always floats but after b12 they sink (and that's a good thing no?).
To sum it all up all these experiments with vegetables and b12 lead me to believe I have problem with methylation, so I have decided to give a Fredd's protocol a shot.Here are the questions.
1. If I don't have problem with methylation can protocol mess me up, or do any harm?
2.If I cut Metafolin and b12 to quarters what I do with the rest I won't use at the moment? Won't it get less efective because of cut?
3.would you recommend to keep the same vegetable intake or lower say to one plate a day. Not sure if I won't stop veggies completely. Moreover I'd have to sooner or later supplement some other minerals, to supplement what I would cut off.
Any suggestions are welcome.
