My quick question is: has anybody started a methylation protocol by buying Yasko's supplements off the Holistic Heal website? Any problems? Are they generally considered good? @Patrick* , I'm looking at you!
It's taken me months to wrap my brain around the protocol and I want to get this show on the road without spending another month researching alternative sources of supplements.
Also, in case this will help anybody, I read Yasko's Roadmap and put it into a bulletpoint format that my brain could understand (with a few extras tid bits from my research and focusing on my mutations). Here's the framework:

Also, in case this will help anybody, I read Yasko's Roadmap and put it into a bulletpoint format that my brain could understand (with a few extras tid bits from my research and focusing on my mutations). Here's the framework:
- Change the diet and heal the gut:
- Paleo/AIP diet
- 4R Gut Program
- Test for ammonia and homocysteine.
- Kill candida (if you have it).
- Address CBS mutation:
- Reduce dietary protein, low-sulfur/thiol diet. Test urine sulfur with strips.
- Yucca supplement with meals (sprinkled on meat?).
- Charcoal/magnesium flushes.
- Get your glutamate and Gaba levels in balance with basic support supplements (add a new one every 3 or 4 days):
- Be Calm Spray (with lithium) helps excess glutamate.
- Resveratrol Spray balances glutamate and helps pain.
- All in One Vitamin (1-3 capsules)
- CoQ10 Spray
- Special Digestive Enzymes (SDE). Take 1 with dinner or large meal of the day.
- Amino Assist Spray (1-2 sprays)
- Ultimate B Complex (1 capsule)
- Short Cut Support
- Be Calm Spray
- All in One Vitamin
- Phospholipid complex: PS/PE/PC gel cap + SAMe (IF tolerated) or soy-free PS + PC (Seriphos)
- Vita Organ
- Daily DHA + a few drops Methylation Support RNA (the latter is expensive and some controversy over efficacy).
- TMG (?)
- Lithium levels. Make sure lithium is in balance before adding B12. Get hair metal analysis and/or blood test for lithium, plus urine essential element test (UEE). If low, supplement with:
- Be Calm Spray
- All in One Vitamin
- low dose lithium orotate
- Long route support (once lithium is balanced):
- Add B12 first. For COMT V158M +/- and VDR Taq +/+: All 3 types (HydroxyB12, AdenosylB12, MethylB12) with less MethylB12.
- Folate. MethylMate B (or equivalent source of 5 Methyl THF, preferably liquid), start with 1 drop or 1 dilute drop.
- MethylMate A (or equivalent source of low dose folinic acid, nucleotides, lactoferrin, bipoterin, phospholipids (perhaps soy-free PS + PC)). 1 capsule.
- Extra supplements:
- Vitamin D spray for VDR Taq
- Seromood for MAO A R297R
- AHCY/SHMT caps with meals for AHCYs
- MethylMate A caps and MethylMate B drops and B12 for COMTs and MTRR A66G
- VitaOrgan and ACAT/BHMT caps with meals for BHMTs
- Black Bear Spray and low dose MTR/MTRR/SUOX caps and * CBS RNA for CBS A360A
- *Because of CBS, taurine levels may rise once methylation is working. Get a urine amino acid test (UAA) to check taurine and use CBS RNA ONLY as needed to keep taurine in balance (below 50th percentile).
