Hey guys, I know I made a lot of posts lately but feel its good to know certain info or to show some interesting treatments I always find!
Anyways I wanted to make this post to focus on Fred's Methylation protocol and any possible unknown methylation blockers.
The traditional ones I have known of have consisted of Whey, Nac, Folic Acid, Folinic acid, and glutathione supplements.. Also too much vegetable consumption can supposedly block folate supplements so if someone was eating a bunch of veggies It is important to raise the level of folate supplementation as well.
Another one I heard of but never knew much about is possible interference with different herbal supplements.
I do not know about others but for myself I take a very protocoled approach with specific herbs in treatment of my own lyme issues alongside the methylation treatment. I originally just stopped all other supplements except basic multi vitamins so I wouldn't cause any trapping, however this specific herbal treatment is what I am using to treat my lyme disease and is working phenomenally! And without the added toxic burden of excessive anti biotics, and yes this also means herbal anti biotics.
I won't go into too much details here but the protocol was created by Dr. Jernigan and the idea is to treat the body to clearing out the infection itself... Using certain herbs to target the bacteria and support the immune system, rather then only focus on kill the infection alone.. Which never works.
Now my only conundrum is trying to figure out if this herbal protocol and the methylation protocol are causing some kind of adverse effects or issues with each other... I guess I could always watch for symptoms but its hard because paradox folate deficency and methyl trapping symptoms are exactly the same as what I experience with herxing, and general lyme symptoms.
I don't think the herbs could cause an outright methyl block on their own but I can never know for sure either.. I just wish there was some kind of test we could take or something to know exactly what is going on rather then going off symptoms alone! lol
Anyways appreciate any input or thoughts from someone doing similar?
