Comment on Genetic testing for Depression? by Cynthia

Hello Allyson,

Thank you for your feedback; it is much appreciated. I have some questions and thoughts for you. What were the specific results of your husband’s test? Homozygous or heterozygous and which mutation/s? The C677T is the one related to depression. Deplin or a good quality Basic B Complex (like from Thorne) is often used in combination with an anti-depressant – most likely an SSRI. The reason for the combination is that the MTHFR is the pathway that produces and utilizes serotonin. By providing the body activated or metabolized B vitamin, the SSRI can then promote utilization of the B vitamins in the brain which build the neurotransmitters which make for normal, non-depressed brain function.

I know of one young lady who showed results in a short time – a few days, but I do not have personal knowledge of a large sample of people.

I am unaware of a connection between the MTHFr and ADD. This doesn’t mean there might not be a connection. On the one side are mental health issues like depression, addictive tendencies, bi-polar disorder, eating disorders that the literature has shown a potential connection with, and on the other, heart issues, bleeding, miscarriage, hypercholesterolemia. The genetic vulnerabilities rest upon which mutation your husband has. Any further questions please feel free to contact me at cynthia_chase@sbcglobal.net. Hope this helps. Thank you! Cynthia

Your description of the MTHFR mutation and what it means to have it are presented in a way that is so easy to digest–thank you! My husband tested positive for this mutation and has been taking Deplin for about 8 weeks with no visible improvements as yet. Do you have anecdotal evidence for how long it could take to see changes? Also,I wonder whether other people taking Deplin have noticed improvement not just in depression symptoms, but in ADHD type symptoms?

Thanks!

Allyson

Comment on Ways to Detoxify from Antibiotic and Frequency (Rife) Treatments by Cynthia

Hi Tina, Thank you so much for your response. I am glad you will be trying the detoxifying methods which I outlined. Detoxification from the die-off is critical and can reduce the Herxheimer reactions that can and usually do occur. You may also want to check on detoxifying herbals that may be found in your health food store, or go to a site like Nutramedix where antimicrobial drops, detoxification herbs in the form of drops and other products are offered that you may use as an adjunct to the bug-killing regimen that your son is on. Also, I want to suggest that most often more than one type of microbe is injected by ticks these days, maybe up to 11 or 12! Unless the different organisms are treated it reduces the chance of full wellness. If you want further information please write to my email address at cynthia_chase@sbcglobal.net or come to our Lyme disease support group in January on the 19th at the Old Lyme town hall, Lyme Street – Connecticut. Take care and keep me posted. Cynthia

My child has advanced Lyme disease. She is currently on two antibiotics to kill the live form and the cyst form. I will try some of you detoxifying suggestions to try and help her feel better. Thanks you, Tina

Thank you for your response! It is not uncommon for people, when they receive no effective treatment, “treat” themselves for relief. I hope his path to recovery is swift. Cynthia
