Hi,
I suspect that I might have a B12 deficit or possibly a MTHFR defect. According to a video presentation on youtube a Pectus Excavatum is a major sign of a Methylation problem. I have the opposite, Pectus Canarum, "pigeons chest". I guess this would also count.
I also have different other health problems which I read could be signs of Methylation problems: Chronic visual disturbances, chronic bladder pain, burning urination, chronic pelvic pain and others.
I took a normal B12 blood test so far and it was pretty low with 400 (200-900). Folic Acid was 19,2 (5,4-17,5)! So it was elevated.
Unfortunately I am still pretty new to this whole biochemical selfanalysis, but I suspect that could be a deficit right? High folic Acid could also mean low cellular foliate right?
Right now I cant really afford to make more comprehensive tests like MMA, Homocystein, Holo-TC, which could be a more acurate test for Vitamin B12 right?
My question is: Should I wait until I can afford making the more accurate tests before I start supplementing OR could I just start taking Vitamin B12 sublingually and see if it does anything?
Also since I am new, there are so many different protocolls here, what do I really have to take to correct a Vitamin B12 deficit?
A good Multivitamine, Fishoil, extra zinc, extra Vitamine D, Methylcobalamin, Dibencozide and 5-MTHF, would that be sufficient?
Can I first just take Methylcobalamin sublingually for a few days and see what happens before I start buying all the additional cofactors?
Are preformulated products like AOR maxMethyl any good or should I really take the B12 on its own under the tongue?
What do you think about AORs Methylcobalamin Ultra - 15 mg lozenge?
Is 15 mg too much or could I take that product? (I really like AORs products...).
Best regards,
Isegrim
