I found this post relating to acne and the response is by Freddd:
Inester7: Hey how did you resolve the acne just by increasing ab12???? and how much are you taking of all the supplements. Pls help!! I am doing great but I am struggling with very painful cyst acne big red and painful, that I ALWAYS get from b12. I wish I know what it means but is why I always give up the protocol.
Freddd: What kind of b12 are you taking? How much? How much methylfolate. Any other forms of folate? These things appear in my experience with spoiled injectable MeCbl or HyCbl and/or paradoxical folate deficiency (simple methylation block on a given level or folic acid) as well as methyl trap.
The itchy acne type lumps/bumps are also in Group 3 of Freddd's symptoms:
Group 3 - Group 3 - Induced and/or Paradoxical Folate deficiency or insufficiency, partial methylation block to methyltrap on 1 or more internal triage levels. Frequently called “NAC DETOX” or “GLUTATHIONE DETOX”.
I'm fairly clear on what Paradoxical Folate Deficiency is now, but is insufficiency a situation where more methylfolate is needed? I get both IBS type symptoms, sleep interference, and the itchy facial/scalp acne whenever I add methylfolate, but in my first experiment with ramping it up the itchy acne bumps went away. My sleep and IBS remained, though, and got worse.
If it's not a situation where I need more methylfolate, it appears that I have a partial methylation block. Sorry to tag you again, but
@ahmo, any idea what i'm doing wrong? All I did was add in methylfolate to bring these symptoms on, I don't take any other source of folate (no processed foods etc), I avoid leafy greens, and have mb12 in place already along with it c, d, e, omega 3, and now high potency curcumin capsules.
