This is an excellent article, as usual, from Ben Lynch:http://mthfr.net/preventing-methylfolate-side-effects/2014/11/26/

Summary: make sure you support electrolytes and minerals first. He also mentions B vitamins other than B12 and folate, as well as adrenal support. He mentions some supplements he's developed for these purposes.
@Valentijn Of note, is a "lite" version of CBS treatment, although he calls it "opening up the sulfite pathway". This is the best explanation I've seen of it in his free materials. You would stop sulfur foods and supps for a few days (not weeks), and add B1 and molybdenum.
He also mentions it in this video "Folate Metabolism and MTHFR, An Introduction". This is normally $50 but I was able to get it for free by signing up on his mailing list and then viewing one of his free seminars. Here he gets into an explanation of methyl supps affecting the SAM:SAH ratio and CBS increasing to 5X higher to compensate and get the ratio back to normal. This is at 1 hour 14 minutes into the video.
He references http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16275737

If this actually works, it would be a great shortcut over Yasko's or Heartfixer's versions of CBS.
He has a whole chapter on CBS in his paid methylation course which is meant to train doctors in methylation, but it's going to be a long time before I can get to that, I'm afraid.
If anybody tries the lite CBS treatment, I would like hear how it has worked for you (or not).
