Re: Re: OT: Anyone with MTHFR mutation?

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the info. My functional medicine/LLMD just tested me last month. (switched from my LLMD in DC...great dr but it was a distance to travel, costing a lot of $ especially with a whole family sick and I made the conscious effort to get off abx's and begin rifing and my new dr support my decision.). Anyway, I came back positive for 2 of the 4 gene mutations. I have a follow up appt in a few wks and will discuss that and other routine blood work but was glad I had Quest send me the results so I could review it all before my next appt. Any other info from those who know about the MTHFR gene mutation, is greatly appreciated. :)Kris Sent from my iPhone

Hi Barb,

I take a product called DMG (dimethylglycine) made by DaVinci Labs of Vermont (davincilabs.com). It is a tiny tablet that dissolves under the tongue, and I take 2, 6x/day. I am a mess without it! There are capule forms of DMG and TMG, but they don't do anything for me that I can notice. It must all be lost in my digestive system (like a lot of things that I ingest). It is available in the health-food stores in boxes of 60 foil-wrapped tablets, but if you can find a source who can order direct from Food Science (the mother company), you can get the 90-tablet boxes for less, especially if you order a case at a time. You might want to try a box of 60 and see how they work for you before you look for a source for the 90's. And you might not need to take as many as I do. I think I started with 2, 2x/day.

Dear ,

I canot help and do not know a clue about mutation .

I have found this site to be very helpful with regards to MTHFR.

www.mthfr.net

This mutation really effects many aspects of general health because if

your body can't convert folic acid to methylfolate (the form of folate

that the body uses) then it impairs detoxing. Our family has a mix of

different mutations but we are all taking b12 in the form of sublingual

methylcobalamin and methylfolate.

It really depends on what specific mutation you have. Some are worse

than others with regards to detoxing and some are more likely to cause

high homo-cysteine levels. For me personally, my MTHFR mutation was

causing miscarriages and mid line birth defects in my children because

my body was not absorbing the form of folic acid that I was taking.
