> If you're otherwise "normal", you will not develop hyperhomocysteinemia (high blood homocysteine) because the B12-dependent pathway back to methionine dominates. I would just monitor the psych effect of TMG, and not worry about homocysteine."Normal", who me?? ;) Ok, thanks, I won't worry about it then.

> Undermethylation goes along with oxidative stress, in my opinion, so I would support choline supps, but, I would recommend that soya lecithin is the source, rather than choline per se. Every time a supp is tried, it should be seen as an experiment to determine how *you* respond to the substance. I've seen far too many paradoxical responses (the opposite of what is expected) to say that there is a blanket answer, a simple rule to follow. That's where I have problems with Pfeiffer, Walsh, et al.Aside from that choline/inositol (250mg of each) combo I've been taking, I've also taken lecithin quite often. Not sure if it's helped or hurt. I really need to separate these things in my experimentation, I know, but have just been desperate to get functional. So far, despite the confusion, it's been working. I've been taking a tax preparer's class since Sept 7 and have made it through and with a good grade too. That is a real accomplishment for me. Unfortunately the job I was hoping for now sounds like it will be many less hours and more short-lived than I'd hoped for, but something is better than nothing.
If I can get on something of an even keel, then I can experiment with the individual ingredients of my regimen, to see the difference.
As usual, thanks for all your help, Larry.
Btw, what do you think of the "don't take Vit C within 2 hours of B12" business?
