Hey I've been on Freddd's protocol for about 2 weeks now and have started to notice minor improvements. I have also been able to start wrapping my head around all the different information out there on the protocol.
That being said, there is still a whole lot I don't understand. This thread is to clarify some of that.
1. It seems that folate requires can reach dosages that would require you to take a large amount of tablets (if the required dosage can get up to 30mg you would have to take around 12 tablets a day). This confuses me, especially since I don't know what I'm looking for when I take the methylfolate. So far all I've gotten is insomnia (Sleeping 4 hours a night) after taking too much. I currently take about 800mcg of methylfolate a day. What should I be aiming for and what bodily effects will tell me that I'm on the right track?
2. I have lost a little weight recently and my appetite seems to have increased. I assume that this is due to the L-Cartine Furmarate (It is marketed as a weight loss supp). Does this change indicate that the L-Cartine Fumarate is doing something?
3. I have taken small dosages (1/4 of a tablet) of AdoB12 every day for the past 4 days or so. I was unclear on the exact method of taking the tablet, as I have read that it is both optimal to take it weekly in a large dose or daily like MeB12.
4. Speaking of B12, how the heck do I get the sublingual to stay in my mouth for long periods? I can't seem to do it. Is it enough to have it be under my tongue for half an hour or an hour? I am worried about it not dissolving due to my mouth getting dry. Also, can I take both AboB12 and MeB12 at the same time?
5. How important are the critical cofactors mentioned? I am currently taking no cofactors at the moment. How much will this effect my recovery? How important are each of the cofactors? I assume the B-Complex is quite important (and ordered some earlier this week), but I feel unsure about the rest. Should I be trying harder to secure missing cofactors?
Regardless, I have been seeing minor improvements already thanks to this protocol. Hopefully this clarification can help my recovery. Thank you.
