I’m having trouble finding an exact place that lists the blood tests needed, someone who can reliably interpret them, and the exact supplements needed. I’m in the YASKO yahoo group but that isn’t exactly simplifying things. I have a degree in Biology so understanding the chemistry is not the problem. Finding the information in one place is lol. I’ve had CFS for 11 years now. 33 year old male. Any comments?

Has anyone tried Oxymatrine? Also, has anyone has mouth ulcers that result in a sore throat? (Aphthous ulcers).

Thanks for responding to my Dec 17 comment. I’m also curious, as you’ve been on this protocol for 5 months, to know whether you did a retest of the methylation panel, and if your results improved. Thanks.

i did have some benefits, but im definately not well.
It did help me understand the yasko results and gave me a few new supplements that do help. But i still have a long way to go

Did you get any benefits yet from following Rich’s recommendations? I just consulted with him and I feel resistant…

Dr. Roberts, a cardiologist in Toledo, has information about the methylation cycle defects posted on his web site: heartfixer.com

Hi- thanks for posting the info. The big pdf file you got of results probably also indicates how frequent each mutation is in the population. Could you look up two of the genes? I’d be interested in the MAO A gene, and the 3 sites of the COMT gene.

I had a bunch of genetic tests done also, some of which overlap with yours. But my panel did not include MAO A or COMT. Those are especially important for me because I have long suspected a problem with ephinephrine and too much serotonin; additionally I am exteemely intolerant to dietary amines (tyramines) which are broken down by MAO A.

Before I look into what it would cost to test those 2 genes, I’d like to know what the frequency of the mutations is in the populaation. For instance, if half the population has the wild type and have the mutation, then I probably won’t bother.

If it would help anyone to see the results of the genetic tests I did have, I’d be happy to post them.

Just as a follow on to your article, have you worked with any of Metagenics products to address chronic fatigue? Here is a link to one of their case management studies of a paitient with CFIDS/

Thanks for sharing this! Very helpful. A little info-dense for me this evening, but I will come back to it later.
