Is there a methylation protocol guide for dummies?
I'm getting my 23andme test results soon and my Lyme brain is having trouble deciphering what I need to learn.

If there is a really simple version of methylation therapy, then I'm not aware of it because it still seems like a pretty complicated subject to me, too. However, there is a really good CFS-Yasko Yahoo forum where you can get help understanding the "simplified methylation protocol" which was originated by a CFS patient, Rich van Konynenburg, PhD. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/CFS_Yasko/
Be sure to look at all the links on the homepage of the CFS-Yasko Yahoo forum, including the link to the video of Rich'es talk given at a CFS/ME medical conference in Sweden in 2011.
Rich is an impressive guy. I met him at a big NIH/CDC-sponsored CFS conference in 2004 where he presented a poster during a much early stage in the development of his ideas. Rich (recently deceased) was a nuclear engineer who had had to take early retirement from engineering because of CFS. It has always amazed me me how he could master such complicated biochemistry with a background in nuclear engineering instead of the life sciences.

Cognitive issues improved with minocycline and pulsed tindamax.
But the most improvement in brain fog came from Diflucan - it also improved my fatigue so that I could actually get things done again.
Very critical - if you are a multisusceptible individual (see HLA DR BQ testing from Labcorp) you might have difficulty in eliminating the toxins that are being killed by the meds.
If that is the case, a good binder like Bio-challenge Bind is critical.
Also important is biofilm treatment with nattokinase, or lumbrokinase. As mentioned elsewhere in this post, lyme likes to hide in biofilm communities.

Bergen, interesting because Diflucan and Tindamax are both -azoles, in same family. Did you have the HLA mold gene?
