Thanks for posting this great message from Dr. David Kaufman.

To others! Don´t miss reading this! Among many interesting things, Dr. Kaufman also highlights MTHFR mutations that are more common among PWME than in a normal population according to him. For what it´s worth in the discussion about methylation issues and it´s possible connection to ME/SEID, or not. I found his observation interesting as this has been noticed by others too.

According to him - but not according to any research I've ever seen. And the 30+ ME patients whose data I have are quite normal in their prevalence of MTHFR and other methylation mutations.
