Guest guest Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I was tested for absolute basophil count and it was high. I also flush with 25(about 4 years ago)-50 mg(last year) of niacin. I might be undemethylated. I have skin tags and moles.Is it symptom of undermethylation? thanks nil under-methylators Hey, Has anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Nil, I don't know the answer to your question. My impression is that men are more likely to have skin tags than women. I don't know if men with skin tags are more likely to have methylation abnormalities than men without skin tags. Perhaps someone else can shed light on this.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks for the reply. A lot of folk I have met and spoke with over the years with under methylation issues have always stated they too have many moles of there chest, arms and face, so I think there must be a link. I have read liver/detox issues can lead to excess moles/skin tags, as can blood sugar problems. > > I was tested for absolute basophil count and it was high.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 From all the reading I've done, I strongly suspect that I am an undermethylator. Primary complaint is FM with awful, chronic fatigue but not the " syndrome " (at least, I don't think so). I've got tags, bumps, moles and constantly forming tiny cysts. Plus I've been 'blessed' with unsightly keratoses, but that's most likely from careless youth, baking in the sun. I would love to see more light shed on this possible connection, but must add that I suspect that skin tags are more likely coming from excessive sugar consumption (ask me how I know!). It is from reading Drs who specialize in diabetes that I learned the possible connection to elevated blood sugar and skin tags. Most of the 'tags' that I have are minute, but about 15 yrs ago I had a large one pop out on my center, upper chest, right above my highest swim suit. I had a tube of that 'black salve' called Icthammamol (I gave that spelling my best shot!), and I put a 'blob' of that on a bandaid and kept that tag covered. I changed the bandage and renewed the salve whenever necessary, and the tag shriveled up and fell off within a few days time. No sign that it was ever there now. Sharon Thanks for the reply.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Could there not be a link between methylation and the high sugar though? I thought um essentially meant sulphur deficiency, hence the reason folk with um supplement methione or sam-e, forms of sulphur. I no sulphur is required for insulin as they say um's are prone to diabetes later life due to insulin deficiency.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I have a MTHFR mutation but no other tests to determine what might be happening with Methylation. In the UK and don't have the money. The moles are all over my body and all over the bodies of family members with ME or similar illnesses. It's been an unofficial marker for us to watch for as they develop early on before ME strikes. Kindest regards, Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hi I am also from the uk and whereas you said money was an issue biolab in london measured my homecysteine and histamine levels as methylation 'markers'. Someone once told me the best methylation analysis was urine amino acids but I never pursued that Sent using BlackBerry® from Orange RE: Re: under-methylators I have a MTHFR mutation but no other tests to determine what might be happening with Methylation.
