In your post you linked to http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/alter/20031104/msgs/278139.html
you mention
On the Alternative Mental Health site, in comments by Dr. Walsh of the Pfeiffer Clinic, http://www.alternativementalhealth.com/articles/walshQZ.htm#Ta, he says for the under-methylated (as I think I am, due to my positive response to SAMe in the past),"Treatment focuses on the use of ANTIFOLATES such as calcium, methionine, SAMe, magnesium, zinc, TMG, omega-3 essential oils, B6, inositol, and A, C and E. The dose of inositol is 500 to 1000mg. Choline is anti-dopaminergic and often makes undermethylated patients worse. Also bad are DMAE, copper and FOLIC ACID"
OK..so what was your repsonse to SAMe in the past that made you think you were undermethylated (that sounds like you've run out of the metho:)
Ane even more importantly what's this about FOLIC ACID and DMAE as well as choline making patients worse..
Did you ever get an answer on those? Caus I felt worse on choline and DMAE I suspect (last week)..and folic acid in itself did, at best, NOTHING for me.
..and I react strange to B12 too..
I'm trying to work out a good combo to order in from the US...with things like
TMG,
NAC,
P5P Now brand with the magnesium,
Coenzymated B's (just in case for B2, B12)Now what else are MUST HAVES to complete the group for optimal balance?
I do have some glucosamine sulfate chondritin sulfate, MSM powder combo bought last week..it does have a load of sugar in it...they all did.
if I have to get SAMe..I think it will have to be from the US..over here its about $90AUD for 60 tablets of 200mg (on special).. way dearer than CoQ10.
