Freddd - As I posted earlier, I'm one of the ones who had a bad reaction to the simplified methylation protocol, but stuck with it off and on for almost 4 years, attributing negative symptoms to detox, as I know is very familiar to you.
Okay - so - about 4 days ago I cut out anything that has folic acid, I stopped the methylation protocol supplements, I stopped taking NAC and l-glutathione.
And this is what I started:
carnitine fumarate, 2000 mg. a day (I had been taking acetyl-l-carnitine for several years with no apparent benefits)
Source Naturals dibencozide (1 lozenge a day)
Methyl B12 shots, 5,000 mg. 3 x week (I've been doing this for quite awhile with no noticeable benfits, but am keeping on doign it)
Jarrow Methyl B12 lozenges
Solgar Metafolin - 400 mg. 2 x day
Now Brand Nutritional Yeast for B vitamins
Country Life Total Mins - mineral supplement with potassium
And my regular stuff of CoQ10, magnesium, etc.
I feel more normal, stronger, like I used to feel a very long time ago. I'm taking it easy, only pushing things a little as I don't want to crash, but I am truly amazed at the difference in how I feel. I never thought I would feel this way again.
A few times in the past a couple of supplements have given me increased energy for several days (NADH, l-carnitine, malic acid, calcium pyruvate), but only temporarily, so I am hoping that this will prove to be more than temporary.
It just blows my mind that something as simple as changing the form of folate can have such a big effect but it makes total sense that a chronic B12 deficiency could cause severe fatigue.
So THANK YOU FREDDD!!!!!!! I can't tell you how grateful I am for your generous sharing of your knowledge. I'll post more in a couple of days or so to let you know if I keep improving.
