A homocysteine connection?

Alicja
Recently, I have found out that my homocysteine has jumped from a low
low several years ago, to just above the upper limit. BTW, according to
LEF (Life Extension Foundation), the official "normal" levels are much
too high. So, I have been reading on the health issues that stem from
elevated homocysteine levels.

It turns out, elevated homocysteine shows up in Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's, and dementia. All brain stuff. My symptoms of EMF
sensitivity are dizziness, mental fog, and terrible headaches. When I am
really exposed, my heart begins to act funny too.

I wondered if lowering homocysteine levels could be helpful in
decreasing EMF sensitivity. One lowers homocysteine by taking
supplements which are methyl donors, such as active folate, P-5-P, etc.

I have started taking P-5-P, and after a few days, I seem to be less
dizzy than usual. Hopefully, this isn't a placebo effect.

I wonder if anyone else has improved by taking methyl donors.

Another thing that helps me, moderately, I would say, is sauna. I take
long sauna sessions. Is there anyone else that benefits from the sauna?

Alicja,

Consider getting a test for MTFHR gene mutation. One form can raise
homocysteine.

If you have it, you can bypass the mutation with supplements.

You could try this to bring homocysteine down

http://www.seekinghealth.com/homocysteine-formula-homocystex-plus.html

His formula is cheaper than the same in Thorne's MethylGuard Plus
