Sorry to hear about the MTHFR dual gene Dx. Although it is a good thing as it may explain some of the 'Why's' of McCain and health.
I do have a bit of info that might help, and also some supplement protocols that will help. There is some overlap with Pyrrole and MTHFR in regards to cell deficiencies and issues clearing heavy metals.
Take care

Hi Gabes, I just saw this so sorry about the late response. I haven't even had time to explore the ramifications of having this MTHFR mutation. I found out about this during a very busy time in July when I got the 23andme dna tests back and ran them through the sites Marliss recommended for health info. I have barely looked into it. Not sure how it is affecting me, but the little I know I'm thinking my daughter is having a lot of health issues related to this. What is the pyrrole you are referring to? I subscribed to Dr. Ben Lynch's newsletter and I ordered the Active B12 with L-5MTHF and just started that Saturday. I am only taking half a lozenge and will go to a full one next week based on his recommendations. I feel the way I did when I found out I had MC - in the dark with a lot to learn. Anything you can share with me like how this might be affecting me and the protocols you mentioned would be greatly appreciated. I know you give so much of yourself here helping everyone and my MC is under control, so just fit me into your schedule when you can. Thanks for your friendship and great help, Love JoAnn

no apologies needed, sounds like you had a fabbo birthday.
Pyrrole is another type of Gene Mutation, it has similar impact on cells and deficiencies like the MTHFR.
A bit like MC, information/studies on the nutritional/supplement side are few. A friend of mine, naturopath who was diagnosed with Leukeamia 12 months ago also tested for both MTHFR gene mutations.
I will put together some information, you may not need it, it may end up being some good info for your daughter. The sooner one does the corrections, fix the cells, the best chance you have to avoid issues becoming chronic.
talk soon

Hi Donna, I guess we'll learn about this together. The only reason I became aware of this is because of some old threads on the board:
http://www.perskyfarms.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=18792
http://www.perskyfarms.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19728
For some reason, I felt like I needed to check into this for myself. I also have a great interest in my genealogy and family history so getting the testing done at 23andme seemed like a good thing to do. I finally got around to doing the test last May and got the results in July. The fun part was seeing where my ancestors came from (verifying my Irish/Scottish blood) and some interesting other genetics I was unaware of. I am genetically related to almost a thousand people in their database and have contacted and been contacted by some of them trying to figure out how we are related.
The not so fun part was running my raw data through GeneticGenie and some other websites that Marliss mentions in the above thread and finding my genetic flaws. I haven't had the time to research exactly how this MTHFR mutation might be affecting me and wonder if it connects to MC somehow. I had some other stuff that doesn't look so great, but it's so scientific and complex I'm not even sure how to think about it. My son had me watch a PBS special called The Ghost in our Genes that explores how genes are turned on and off and how the experiences of our ancestors can directly affect us in our genes. Fascinating stuff. You can find it on line if you're interested. I'm hoping to get some time in the next few months to learn more about this. Gabes is so unselfish and gives so much of herself. I'm really indebted to her for taking the time to get me started in the right direction. I'm looking forward to her information.
