Episode description

There’s a lot of awareness around this genetic mutation, and that’s great. It’s a big reason why so many people are chronically sick.

When the MTHFR gene mutations are present, your methylation pathways don’t work very well, which means you struggle to detox.

So a lot of people will test positive for this, and then following orders from their Functional Medicine Doctor (or their own research) they’ll start taking B12 and methyl folate.

But, this is a mistake. You must first open your drainage pathways, and then remove the other underlying causes like parasites, mold, and so on. Then you’re ready to add B12 and methyl folate.

Why? Well, if you ask your body to start trying to move out metals and chemicals when your drainage pathways aren’t open, then you’ll end up stirring them up from wherever your body has been able to wall them off, then you can’t move them out, so they’ll resettle and cause even more issues.

But if you’ve opened your drainage pathways and moved out the other blockages like parasites, then your body will easily move out the metals and chemicals and other toxins!
