> 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.
Well, I don't feel very normal ;), but I take your point.
> 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.
I've taken lecithin quite often and never noticed any adverse effect. What gave me pause that Walsh and company might be right about the these things, such as folic acid, is that I never felt particularly better taking a B Complex either...so I wondered if it was the FA as they say.
I hope you comment on what the Acu-cell site had to say about B complex, in the other thread. http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/alter/20031104/msgs/279947.html
He also had a lot to say about mineral ratios that I found interesting. http://www.acu-cell.com/mr.html
