Thanks in advance for your insight
Do I detox first? Does that mean getting rid of my three amalgams first or dealing with missing methylation short cuts? Are detox markers so poor because I'm missing methylation short cuts? Are a lot of the less than optimal results due to trickle down effects of not having methylation short cuts?
I would appreciate insight into which of Dr. Amy’s suggestions I should follow. She puts a lot of supplements down without indicating a priority. Won't some of the less than optimal results balance out without taking every supplement considering my diet is pretty good? I'm definitely not taking the saw palmetto / prostate supp written at the top of the HMT results as there is no indication for that and I don't want to over supplement.
Any alternative supplement recommendations or brands to what she recommends would be appreciated.
How do I account for some discrepancies between tests? (Taurine: NutrEval serum = low, DD urine = high). It would seem that I am a taurine 'waster' and not 'overproducer'. Is this part of a larger picture and if so, how do I fix it? B6 is low according to NutrEval even though I was taking 50mg P5P / day and Dr. Amy says to stop taking it due to high urine Taurine and C699T ++.
Ammonia: What about the difference where the two blood tests show mid level and urine shows in upper range?
Lithium: She wants me to continue it to support methylation even though it’s at the top of the range. Should I be concerned about lithium overdose?
Creatine: Dr. Amy circled creatine levels but I'm thinking it's elevated (even though it's within the normal range) due to the fact that I tend to be on the dehydrated side as of late which was indicated on previous blood tests. (24 hr urine cretine was 17.1 range 8.6-18.4)
CoQ10: Dr. Amy indicates that MitoQ supplementaion is not working as cobalt levels are reamining low, yet NutrEval indicates good CoQ10 levels
Probiotics: Dr. Amy indicates to only supplement with lactobacillus bifidobacterium? Why should I not include fermented food sources, as well?

Test highlights:
Oxidative Stress (Jan 2014):
Glutathione: 1,224..range >669 micromol/L
Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC): 0.78…range: >0.54 nmol/L
Cysteine: 0.42..range 0.46-1.20mg/dL
Sulphate: 4.5..range 3.0-5.9 mg/dL
Cysteine/Sulphate: 0.99..range 0.12-0.32
Cystine: 2.77…range 1.60-3.20 mg/dL
Cysteine/Cystine Ratio: 0.15…range 0.17-0.50
Glutathione Peroxidase: 26..range 20-38 U/g Hb
Superoxide Dismutase: 21,325…range 5,275-16,662 U/g Hb
Lipid Peroxides: 10.5 range<10 micromol/L
GI Effects (July 2015): According to that test, I don't have candida and very little yeast
NutrEval (Sep/Oct 2015)
Serum:
Glutathione: 534 range: >669 LOW
Malic Acid: 1.1..range is <3
Molybdenum: normal (even though not supplementing with it)
Taurine: 5.06 range 5.25-9 LOW
Methionine: 2.7 range 2.5-4.9
Cysteine: 6.6 range 4.9-8
Ammonia: 2.5 range <6.5
Ammonia: 16…range:9-33 umol/L (independent lab)
α-Aminoadipic Acid: 1.05 range <0.8 HIGH
Dihomo-γ-linolenic Acid: 0.51 range >1.19 LOW
Phosphoethanolamine: 0.05 range 0.15-0.45 LOW
Ethanolamine: 0.7 range 0.5-1.2
Pyroglutamic Acid: 19 range 16-34
3-Hydroxypropionic Acid: 4 range 5-22 LOW
Mercury: 6 times the upper limit
α-Ketophenylacetic Acid: 0.45 range <0.46 LOW
α-Hydroxyisobutyric Acid: 4.2 range <6.7 LOW
I suspect high mercury and detox markers is from eating a lot of wild salmon, sea bass, and hiamchi. Will donate blood and stop eating sea food. I also suspect high α-Ketophenylacetic Acid and α-Hydroxyisobutyric Acid is from the plastic and gas that the fish consume

Supplements
Before the NutraEval test I was using the following (stopped 7 days before):
-50mg of P-5-P daily (yet NutraEval revealed that I am low). Was taking 800mcg methylfolate /day so that could be the reason?
-60g of Hi Maize resistant starch twice a day (GI effects test indicated that Butyrate was still low) – Why would I still have low butyrate despite large amount of hi maize? Otherwise, wouldn’t high butyrate lower ammonia?
