UPDATE: I actually just found some info explaining that repairing digestive system (dysbiosis, leaky gut) to be one of first steps in correcting methylation deficiency - yeast overgrowth must also be dealt with...
Thanks to all for your help and I'm sorry for wasting your time.---------------
Hello: I have not had the MTHFR testing, but plan on trying the protocol. My symptoms began 20 years ago and by now I'm very ill; my brain is mush - I've been bedridden for at least five years and my health is getting worse with each passing day...I sleep 20-22 hours a day and am lucky to be able to function a day or two a month - I'm fortunate that today I'm able to sit up a little to type this and hope that I make some sense.
I've had pretty severe constipation problems for at least 10 years of opiate use, so I don't know if I absorb nutrients adequately and have all the signs and symptoms for Candida - so I was wondering if I should do a colon cleanse and separately, try to rid myself of Candida prior to beginning the Methylation protocol to maximize its effectiveness OR would it be worth it to begin the protocol...
I'm also confused if one is to use Glutathione as part of the protocol.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much.
Lulu
