I found my test and it's C677T it's heterozygous.

My doctor didn't offer any treatment for this either, he just said that is not good. That I am not a good detoxer.

I didn't know until this thread that these things are treatable.
Well I don't know if mine is.

Yes, yours is easily treatable:

Scroll down to MTHFR C677T: 5,10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (=> 5-Methyl-Folate)

Razzle, thanks so much! Wow! Something that can be fixed easily! I just bought some Folapro.

Interesting.. my folic acid test was ridiculously high, I guess I wasn't converting it.

Thanks again!

Hambone, Dr. gave us Actifolate for Daughter's defect. She as the same as you. one copy.

How much are you taking? Hope the Actifolate will be okay?

1/4 of a Folapro for a little over a week. I just bumped it to 1/2.

The first two nights I had very restless sleep and felt like metal in my mouth.

MUCH better now and I can tell it is helping.

What an odd acronym. I thought someone was getting obscene over lyme disease.

Cheryl - funny!

I have mutations one copy of each MTHFR C677T and MTHFR A1298C + the CBS upregulation and a number of others. What I take for the 2 MTHFR mutations is 1 folapro (worked my way up over a few year period) and 1/2 actifolate. My LLMD suggested that I had actifolate in order to get other types of folate besides the active form. It does have the active form too but folapro is what was originally recommended by Dr. Yasko.

I also take BH4. Heartfixer explains why BH4 is useful. It tends to be low with several of these mutations. It detoxifies ammonia and helps with parasitic infections etc...
