Mutations and diet?

bumping up for more views

I too, was worried I had various mutations. Truthfully - I still don't know but I've healed up pretty good.

If you had the sulfur mutation and it was causing a problem for you, you would not be able to eat those foods. So don't worry about it...

Just take things that support good methylation and it is likely you'll be fine.

Methylation support:

B-Complex, preferably one that uses co-enzyme forms (e.g., Vitamin B6 co-enzyme form is P5P; the co-enzyme form of Folic Acid is 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or methylfolate; etc.)

Vitamin B12 - best form is methylcobolamin, and hydroxycobolamin is also good.

Molybdenum - supports sulfur metabolism and detox of environmental toxins (e.g., alcohols, aldehydes, purines, xanthines, phenolics, etc.).

Magnesium, Zinc, and Iron (do not take iron if not deficient) - also supports methylation, detox, and sulfur metabolism.

am in a different lyme group and its tough..lot of mutation talk like you can't get better unless you know or address it..well I know lymies who did not know if they had mutation or not and they still got better..

I never got tested either, yet had a really hard time with detoxing - I had to do all kind of things to keep my body detoxing, and would get overwhelmed off and on by the toxins. But I've healed, so I would say that those who say a person simply cannot heal without knowing and treating those mutations are wrong.

We have had many, many conversations on here about those mutations - try using the search feature above, on the right hand side of the same blue bar that has the Log on/off button on it. Be sure that you put in the word "Lyme" first to help keep the results to mainly the Lyme forum.
