Questions about Yasko protocol AKA: I am so frustrated!

Recommended Posts

Have any of you done Amy Yasko's testing and followed her protocols? I have

heard of her, but have not pursued it because my understanding is the testing is

quite expensive (that's okay for a test) and that the protocols are also very

expensive and can be very extensive in the amount of supplements required.

That being said, I am wondering if it might be good to do the methylation test

and if it would be helpful to get her book.

My son was tested over TWO years ago for MTHFR. Yes, he has mutations. While

one son is homozygous for C677T, my other son is hetereozygous for both C677T

and A1298C. Our doctor said this was the worst scenario. Consequently I know

they need mb12 and should avoid nitrous oxide.

I have been suspecting ammonia issues with this child (the combo gene mutation

son) and possibly histamine issues. We have been having great success with our

latest treatments, so I have been researching ammonia to see if there is any

connection with different thing we have been doing.

Lo, and behold, I found a paper by Dr. Woeller summarizing some of Dr. Yasko's

stuff and here is what is said about the A1298C mutation:

" MTHFr A1298C (Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase) – helps to convert BH2 to

BH4 for serotonin and dopamine production. Also, has an assistance effect on

ammonia detoxification, and protects against too much histamine (stimulates

allergic reactions, over-production of stomach acid).

• MTHFr A1298C (+ -) = heterozygous mutation. Partial defect system. This

translates into a partial problem with A1298C's function – particularly

important when considering the balance of dopamine and serotonin which can

increase the propensity for mood swings and non-yeast, non-clostridia

(intestinal bacteria) stimming behavior from too much ammonia. "

So, all along I have known he has this mutation and had no idea that it affected

these things. I am so frustrated! I could have been doing the treatments I am

doing now if I had known this two years ago!!

I found out I was MTHFR 1298 ++ in May 2009 and just getting around to addressing it fully now.It'll be ok... we know better, we do better... :::hugs:::

We have done the test but we have not done the Yasko protocol. Our DAN doc has used the results to help us determine supplementation and that has been really helpful. We also have some unfortunate genes but we have seen some good improvements with targeted supplementation. It also helps for chelation or other treatments you may decide to do.

I love her, wish I had done it sooner and can't believe how I totally didn't get

the glutamate/ammonia connection. OCD gone within days, literally. We are not on

a million supplements either, in case that worries you. We don't even have our

test results back yet, just doing a few of the step one and can not believe the

difference. Her books are awesome and I recommend reading " Excitotoxins: The

Taste that Kills " by Dr. Blaylock. It's available on Kindle. I have it

on my phone and refer to it all the time. Love it.

Best of luck,

Amy

Wow! This is really encouraging. I did decide to go ahead and order her book,

workbook, and DVD set. I have read some extensive interviews/articles by Dr.

Blaylock but have not read that book. Maybe I should put that on my list, too.

How exciting to hear that you got rid of OCD within days and before you even

received your test results! Do you mind sharing what specific changes you made?

Which things are you doing from step one? I can't wait to get the book! I

actually paid the extra $5 for 2-day shipping. I have never expedited shipping

on anything other than probiotics (because they make me) before. haha.

We are sooooooo close with him...SOOOOOOO close. I feel like her testing and

information could seal the deal for him. I love our doctor and I have learned

so much over the years, but in the end, we just have to go by prayer, intuition,

logical deduction, and maybe a little pixie dust to hit on the right things.

Having a clearer picture of his exact possible genetic weaknesses could be so

helpful!

Thanks,

Cathy

Hi Amy,Could you elaborate on the glutamate/ammonia connection? Is this the same as L-glutamine? My son has had ammonia issues and we are planning to start L-glutamine so I want to make sure it doesnt make his ammonia issues worse.Manyt thanks, To: mb12valtrex

Hi ,Just wanted to mention that Dr. Yasko does not suggest Glutamin because it is converted to glutamate. Ayse

 

Hi Amy,Could you elaborate on the glutamate/ammonia connection?  Is this the same as L-glutamine?  My son has had ammonia issues and we are planning to start L-glutamine so I want to make sure it doesnt make his ammonia issues worse.

Manyt thanks,
