I ordered the Holistic Health Methylation Pathways test ($495) yesterday because I really wanted the customized help that Dr. Yasko gives. She personally comments on any test run through her office.
However, since then I've noticed that I could run 23andme and get a lot of help in this forum.
Now I'm wondering if I should not use the Holistic Helath kit and try to get a refund, then do 23andme instead.
I feel like my case is difficult because I have bipolar and OCD, and I take a drug that's an antagonist to dopamine and I can't function without it. That suggests I have too much dopamine. When I tried methyl b12 a couple times, it made me very irritable, which is a sign I am not metabolizing dopamine effectively, suggesting the COMT mutations.
So because my case is difficult, I really wanted the customized help from Dr. Yasko.
But now I'm starting to wonder if she is really the best source of knowledge. For one thing, her suggestions all involve taking her supplements, and the number of supplements she recommends is BEYOND ABSURD. When I read her book, she seems to have no awareness that her protocol is totally impractical for anyone who's not a millionaire. How about single disabled people who live alone on a fixed income? We need help too.
Maybe I can get all the help I need from 23andme and the people on this forum.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm just trying to figure this out.
