    My 23andme results - any thoughts?

    Thank you @Valentijn ! I've been supplementing with B12 for a short while and it definitely seems to be helping. From this, would you have an idea of the ratio of B12 to Folate that might work best for me? Wendy

    some help please . . . too much or not enough folate / potassium

    Thank you., I think you're right. I thought I was starting low but guess that my version of low is still far too high. Aside from stopping the mb12 and folate until the headache and insomnia clears, is there anything else you can suggest I do to help? I really appreciate your thoughts.

    some help please . . . too much or not enough folate / potassium

    Thanks :) Whoops, yes that should have been 200mcg and it's Solgar metafolin. Did your dental pain go and how? No I don't know my genetics. I did wonder if I needed more MB12 but was trying to take things slowly but perhaps that's not going to work if I need more MB12 than the folate.

    some help please . . . too much or not enough folate / potassium

    I started Fredds protocol 10 days ago with 1 x 1mg Enzymatic Therapy B12 and 200mg folate 4 times per day. The first few days were great with lots more energy. Then on day 3 I started to get pain in my jaw where I had root canal treatment about 2 years ago. I thought this might be that...
