Coenzymes
- How long does it take to fix coenzyme levels and maximize methylation?
- The supplements you recommend contain folic acid or methylfolate in high dose. I don't think it's smart to take folic acid with a MTHFR mutation as well as methylfolate in a high dose. What are your thoughts about this?
- What's the connection between candida overgrowth and yeast overgrowth and low levels of Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide and Flavin Mononucleotide, and whether this can also be healed as we optimize Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide and Flavin Mononucleotide? And I'm also curious about SIBO, since they sometimes seem to overlap with symptoms.
- I started the B12 3 weeks ago. I take 1000 mcg daily at night, around 9pm. I noticed my anxiety has increased after the first week or so. I’d like to know if other patients have experienced increased anxiety during the protocol? Is this a normal reaction?
- Why has my TSH increased?
- What should my temperature be when I check it?
- When should I try eating bread again?
- How do you know when the coenzymes and B12 have been corrected?
- You say to eat dairy again. Should I start eating it again right now?
- Regarding the lithium, once the coenzymes are at optimal levels, will I need to continue taking this long term, or is it just while improving the deficiency?
- You recommend potassium iodide and potassium gluconate. What's the difference?
- Based on my genetics testing, it appears I have two MTHFR polymorphisms. So does this mean that even with all of the proper supplementation, my ability to methylate is compromised?
- I saw that in a Q&A you mentioned you don't like supplementing too much with folate initially. Why is that? I thought folate was important for methylation.
- Why do some practitioners say to completely avoid supplementing with folate and folic acid? They say it's dangerous and harmful.
- When should folate be introduced? I usually have trouble tolerating it.
- I don't like being on a statin. Are you aware of alternatives that can manage cholesterol levels?
- Which metabolite identifies B6 deficiency, how do we know that somebody is deficient? What is the optimal range of the corresponding metabolite?
