Hi,
I'm looking for a way to help my wife lose weight. She's 30 and she has to be extremely careful to maintain her weight. She's not overweight and she feels good overall but she has to work out 3 to 4 times a week and eat very clean otherwise she will gain. She noticed some acne since she's working out more.
She has a resting heart rate of 40 to 50, her blood pressure can be as low as 90/50, but she's more often 110/70.
Everything comes back normal on the labs, no thyroid issues or anything else according to doctors.
I wonder if boosting methylation could speed up her metabolism somewhat. She had some benefits taking colostrum but we are concerned about long term use and ubiquinol didn't seem to help too.
Any rational for giving methylfolate and b12 to someone healthy in this case? Any other tips?
Thx!
Hi Gu3vara,
I also have to be very careful about how much I eat. Today I went to the supermarket and saw some 2 liter coke for 99 cents and thought how good that would taste. I was thirsty at the time. I only have soft drinks a couple of times a year. I actually felt guilty about it.
"Healthy" is imprecise. Not a single test will show when active mb12/adb12 and methylfolate would be benefical and effective. They only show when the system is already VERY BROKEN and in faliure mode. Go to the symptoms post on the BASICS
http://forums.phoenixrising.me/showthread.php?11522-Active-B12-Protocol-Basics and compare ALL her symptoms to those, especially the symptoms she has that the docs say "NON-SPECIFIC AND DON'T MATTER".
Early on, trying to get a better handle on what was going on for me with the early stages of the mb12 and all the frightful stories people were telling me about all the awful things that must be going on, I did a survey of about 1000 people for all their symptoms and then they tried, mostly, a single tablet of mb12, 1mg and 5mg of Jarrow and Enzymtatic Therapies with some adb12 tried later along with a combination of both. The 5 star brands were already established by that point. I was forced to do that the 2nd month. What I found was this. Anybody who genuinely had no symptoms had no immediate effect. However, some people did not realize how fatigued they were until trying the mb12 and hasd the fatigue lift in an hour or two. ALso, many who claimed that they had no symptoms revised that to "only nonspecific symptoms that the doctor said didn't matter" that they had forgotten about until the mb12 relieved them. In all 85% who had symptoms, remembered or not, had a response within 2 hours. Others who were still avaiable at a later time had a response when Metafolin was tried later with mb12. Some also had slower response, mostly neurological, at a later time.
Somewhere between no symptoms and something "very broken" people have plenty of reponsive symptoms and can prevent things from getting worse. This breakdown proceeds over decades. I wish mine had been corrected 50 years sooner than it was.
So in answer to your question, IF she has less than an opitmal amount of adb12 and l-carnitine fumarate perhaps her metabolism will pick up some. However, this needs to be used in the context of mb12, Metafolin and other cofactors that are all needed for these to function properly. If they have an effect for her she will know soon enough. Of course it can affect mood and many other things and not affect metabolism. Also her aerobic capabilty may pick up a lot.
