Guest guest Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hi Tina, I have read some on this, This blog was written as this lady want to conceive, and seems to have read a lot on folate and Mthfr. Her posts mentions the various forms, and how some can have very little or no affect on us. It also says " MTHFR does NOT affect how folic acid is absorbed into your body --> it affects what folate forms are in your body. " It mentions gene expressions. In all of my reading on gene expressions, B vitamins were always mentioned as affecting gene expressions. Other things I read on MTHFR says that other B vitamins are needed as well as folate if you have that gene. It has been said by many that to get the intrinsic factor to absorb B 12, just eat raw liver. The Bs can change us if we get the best from nature, and be able to absorb them, and use them better. I have not had raw liver, but try to eat it cooked every 2 weeks or so. There are so many variables are to how we heal, and which part of us heal. I have seen a lot of my health problems improve, if I stick to a strict diet, but I do not expect all of my problems to go away, and do think , like Joanne says, trying to kill off anything in my body, will not be good in the long run. http://amy-happilyeverafter.blogspot.com/2008/11/mthfr.html Hope this helps some. c > > While a few of you seem to be doing well,if you stay in ketosis,many on here seem to be not doing that well.I plan on exploring the possiblity,that I may have a genetic mutation,that makes it impossible to absorb and use folate.Another thing,is with the supplements we take,and weather or not they contain magnesium sterate.Some of the cheaper supplements contain this,and it isn`t good.Parasites in another thing to consider,if you eat correctly,but,still don`t seem to be getting any better.I think,Dr Neil Rawlins is worth listening to what he has to say,and even trying it.My friend with fuibro,was commenting,on how she felt great,for a week or so after giving birth.So,we were trying to figure out,why,that might be.A possibilty,is colostrum.Though a woman that just gave birth produces colostrum for her baby,does that constitute consuming it?I don`t know,but was reading about the benefits of colostrum,and it is good for pain,allergies,asthma.I did try it years ago,with my autistic son,but,did not use it long enough,to say if it did anything.Plus,he can`t give me any feedback,if he feels better or not.I think,good quality supplements are best.The cheap ones put fuillers in them,that we probably should not be consuming.Since B vitamins are anti stress vitamins and many of have lots of stress,and if we take B vitamins and still,we can`t deal with stress well,then,maybe,there is a possibility,we can`t use the folate we take in,due to a genetic mutation?From what I have been reading about folate,is it much like B12,hard for the body to use,what is being taken it.So,a blood test would be wortless,if it says you have adecuate amounts of folate,but the problem is,you can`t use what you have. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Thankyou for posting this,.My friend with fibro,her first baby was misscarried.Her 2nd and 3rd,both have problems.She did put off motherhood,until around 30,though.Me,I have 3 kids,and I think,they are all on the spectrum,only my son is low function and has a chromosome abnormality.Now,my last baby,I had at age 40,and i had been taking B vitamin for many years,prior to getting pregnant.I took tons of Royal jelly,as I thought,that would be easy to absorb.i think,the only reason she is not low functioning autism,is i did not vaccinate her,and I used some of the DAN protocol for autism,as far as supplements they reccomend.I was 29 and had a baby with a chromosome abnormality,so,I wonder,if i have this.I was not taking any supplements at the time,I concieved him.I was not taking anything when I had my first. > > > > While a few of you seem to be doing well,if you stay in ketosis,many on here seem to be not doing that well.I plan on exploring the possiblity,that I may have a genetic mutation,that makes it impossible to absorb and use folate.Another thing,is with the supplements we take,and weather or not they contain magnesium sterate.Some of the cheaper supplements contain this,and it isn`t good.Parasites in another thing to consider,if you eat correctly,but,still don`t seem to be getting any better.I think,Dr Neil Rawlins is worth listening to what he has to say,and even trying it.My friend with fuibro,was commenting,on how she felt great,for a week or so after giving birth.So,we were trying to figure out,why,that might be.A possibilty,is colostrum.Though a woman that just gave birth produces colostrum for her baby,does that constitute consuming it?I don`t know,but was reading about the benefits of colostrum,and it is good for pain,allergies,asthma.I did try it years ago,with my autistic son,but,did not use it long enough,to say if it did anything.Plus,he can`t give me any feedback,if he feels better or not.I think,good quality supplements are best.The cheap ones put fuillers in them,that we probably should not be consuming.Since B vitamins are anti stress vitamins and many of have lots of stress,and if we take B vitamins and still,we can`t deal with stress well,then,maybe,there is a possibility,we can`t use the folate we take in,due to a genetic mutation?From what I have been reading about folate,is it much like B12,hard for the body to use,what is being taken it.So,a blood test would be wortless,if it says you have adecuate amounts of folate,but the problem is,you can`t use what you have. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
