Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 There are two parts of the methylation cycle that deal with homocysteine. One or both of them may be functioning poorly. To boost the folate cycle, try folinic acid, M-B12 and TMG. To boost the methionine/B6 pathway, try TMG, B12 and B6/P5P. I would proceed cautiously with this, as it possible that one cycle is functioning poorly bu the other is normal or overactive. We have found our son responds well to B6, TMG and moderately high amounts of B12, but very poorly to folic acid and/or folinic acid. So I assume his folic acid pathway is normal or actually overactive, but the methionine/B6/cystein pathway is undermethylating. if we overdo B12 it seems to overflow from his methionine pathway into the folic acid cycle and disrupt his behaviour. Maybe start by introducng TMG and B12 in moderate doses, then introduce folinic acid and B6 separately. Then once you've figured out where you stand there try gradually increasing TMG and B12. You have to be careful about using terms like overmethylator/undermethylator as the processes are complex and can be divided into 2 or 3 subcycles If you have any queries please me offlist.
