I was on a similar methylation protocol to active b12 for several months and had made quite a bit of progress - better energy and some symptoms improving. Under recommendations from my practitioner I tried some L-Glutathione (3 x times) from which I ended up worse than when I started the protocol and I have been unable to reverse its effect and am in Methyl Trap.
My next steps were:
* Keep persevering with the titration before adding LCF - how much further?
* Leave the B12 / 5-MTHF levels as is and add in the LCF as the final leg of the deadlock quartet then start with any of the others TMG
* Other options?
Has anyone else had this happen and what do people recommend for getting out of for a trap caused by Glutathione supplements? - are the bigger doses critical to re-saturate the tissues?
Your thoughts and own experiences are greatly appreciated
- I now have a lot more fatigue, heavy arms / legs / less energy and experienced all the symptoms that Fredd discussed in his discussions of it hitting hard.
- A few weeks ago I started the Active B12 therapy (not much different to the previous one) and am slowly titrating up my B12 (MB12 5mg/day/sublingual + ADB12 3mg ) and 5-Mthf (3mg) but haven't really improved or experienced startup.
- I haven't taken LCF yet as I am still titrating up and I'm also taking the other critical co-factors and vitamins etc and have read all the great docs that have been prepared on taking in slow and the unofficial guides etc.
- After reading Fredds posts on these he seems to say that to get out of a glutathione induced trap you need to supplement with much larger doses to startup?.
