Jumping in, sorry if this has been covered.

23andme is genetic--it doesn't measure the actual state of your methylation cycle and how it is functioning. It does show SNPs that could interfere with it. So Gandalf probably had methylation problems that were not caused by genetics.

This is just a guess! :)

Can anyone explain why the test says his methylation is good but treating methylation has had such a big impact for him?

Tests are no good?
We don't fully understand things yet? Etc.

Also @Gandalf what form were the B12 shots and how long were you on them before they stopped having effect? Thanks

I have confirmed low potassium and vit d so it makes sense that they help.
Folic acid does confuse, but maybe I have an increased turnover rate of my blood cells (decreased MCV, increased billirubin) so I might need more folic acid for that.

Cyano and hydroxo helped the same. I took weekly shots 1000-1500 . I did this for about 2 months.
