My bottomless methylation pit

[M]y last redistribution day was really interesting –  the round had been too difficult and I gave up early.  I was expecting a really terrible redistribution day,  so I took two additional capsules of Mercola’s liposomal vitamin C (which contains lecithin) and some extra magnesium. Out of laziness,  I took an additional 600 mg  sunflower […]

Walloped by folate

[I] got my ass kicked yesterday by folate. Every Friday for the last few weeks I’ve increased folate by (my standard) one quarter tablet which amounts to 200 mcg. Normally, I feel a little fatigued until evening when I get some serious muggy headedness. But yesterday, it hit me early around 10 AM and lasted […]

Methylation update

[I]t feels like my methylation treatment is going really well. I started ubiquinol a few days ago and have had another energy surge. Read a bunch of articles about CoQ10 vs ubiquinol but I’m thinking of taking both types, maybe 150 mg of each. Over the past month, my muscles have tightened further and I’ve […]

Too complex?

Alex emailed me something yesterday that caught my attention. He wrote: You seem like you have the analytical attitude to work your way through this mess, a lot fail because it is too complex. He’s absolutely right that what I’m doing is really complex. On chelation days, I’m filling 25 containers with supplements daily and […]
