What is Methylation?

- Methylation, it’s a big word that you probably don’t think applies to you, however, read on because knowing about methylation could improve or save your life. Methylation is the process of taking a single carbon and three hydrogens, known as a methyl group, and applying it to countless critical functions in your body such as: thinking, repairing DNA, turning on and off genes, fighting infections and getting rid of environmental toxins to name a few.
- Methylation defects are tied to a wide variety of conditions:
Diabetes, Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Cancer, Pulmonary Embolism, Addictive Behavior, even alcoholism, Insomnia, Autism or down’s syndrome, Frequent miscarriages, Bipolar or manic depression, Allergies or Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, Atherosclerosis, Spina Bifida or Cleft Palate or Neural Tube Defects, Multiple Sclerosis and other Autoimmune Disorders, Hashimoto’s or Hypothyroidism, ADD or ADHD, Dementia/Alzheimer’s, Schizophrenia, Anxiety, Neuropathy, Lyme Disease*, Chronic Viral Infections - Usually in severe cases, the symptoms are due to toxin build-up; please note the methylation defect does not cause Lyme, which is a tick-borne illness. But the infection causes ammonia, quinolinic acid, acetylaldehyde, etc… and methylation defects reduce the person’s ability from properly detoxifying, repairing the damage and fighting the infection and co-infections. This explains the severe symptoms that come and go in some people, and why some folks hurt so badly and others don’t.
- If you lack these vitamins, minerals, your ability to drive the methylation pathway is limited. Why? Because these nutrients are needed to help make the most active form of folate in your body known as methylfolate. These include: Zinc, B2/riboflavin, Magnesium, B6/pyridoxine, B12/methylcobalamin, Folate (from food or folinic acid)
What can I do if I come up Positive for a C677t Gene Error?

It is suggested that if you have brown pigments in your iris that your liver might not be methylating properly. We can determine that through a MTHFR blood test to check for the gene error.
Methylation error has been linked to high cholesterol, Melatonin deficiency (waking up at around 3 AM), and Estrogen dominance (family history of uterine fibroids, breast cancer, and/or fibroids).
The link of the brown pigment is to error C677t since there are many genes associated.
Below is a methylation chart that Dr. Michael Salas has created that shows some of the health risks associated with brown pigments in the iris of the eye as well as links to related articles.
Methylfolate has been scientifically proven to help the liver methylate and clients can benefit from taking it.
