Re: MTHFR Gene Mutation/Margaret and Cindy

[Guest guest]

Hi Joanne,

Just one thought now about it. Nutrients work together. You will need less C if

you do not have sugar. Too much of one thing can increase your need for

something else. Those who ate no plants probably got the nourishment they

needed, as long as they did not have sugar, which depletes nourishment. You

will be adding some spices to your foods also. I am going to try some sprout

making again after a long absence. Some of my seeds and grains may still be

viable, as some of them float when put in water.

and Joanne,

Thank you again for the research information.  I am doing all I can to keep my

son on low carbs.  I keep him as low as I can.  I don't know if he is actually

in ketosis.  I doubt it since he is rewarded at school with dried fruit.  They

choose to use " food reinforcers " .  I have not been able to convince them that

this is not the best thing for him.  I don't want to rock the boat too much with

them since he is small for his age and has been diagnosed with failure to thrive

in the past.  This diet doesn't help him to gain weight.  I am trying to use the

supplements to help where I can't be sure that he is in ketosis.

Thanks again,

Margaret

Bee recommends 100mg, and then additional niacin and B1. He is having trouble

swallowing all his meds, and not 100% sticking to the diet. He sticks to it 90%

but is not eatin enough red meat.

niacin and B1 he will at least be getting enough of them. My main question is,

is it unsafe to have extra B2 B4 B6 B9 B12 etc. I know it is not recommended

to do this but would just a small amount more than that recommended be

dangerous. I do know one person on Bees diet did take 200mg for a while because

she had bought the wrong dose. bee allowed it, and I am assuming from this that

200mg is not unsafe, just not recommended because we are getting plenty of Bs

from the meat we are all eating

you say it is safe and then it is not. it is down to me and my dad to decide.

But just wondering if anybody has any info on this
