MTHRF genetic mutation is linked to fibromyalgia. If you have a MTHRF generatic mutation you have some degree of difficulty processing folate (a B vitamin) adequately. MTHFR is shorthand for a specific gene that codes for an enzyme called “Methyl Tetra Hydro Folate Reductase”. Folate is very important for normal metabolism. Folic acid shortfalls can lead to fatigue, brain fog, head pain, body aches, joint pain, blue moods, migraines, and GI problems (sounds a lot like Fibro doesn't it?). To confirm a mutation, ask your doctor to order the MTHFR blood test and check glutathione levels (these tests are covered by most health insurance). Having a MTHRF genetic mutation can cause (how many of these are also symptoms of Fibro?).- Depression / Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic fague
- Immune disorders
- Allergies
- Autoimmune issues
- Headaches
- Mood issues
A second step you may want to try is supplementing with methylated folate, a form the body can process even with a faulty MTHFR gene. It is suggested that 3-7 mg a day will help ease symptoms if you already have them. One word of caution: doses at this level may initially cause you to feel worse before you feel better as the folate releases built-up toxins. If that happens, lower the dose until your body adjusts. Some sources that can be found at web sites such as iHerb are Solgar Folate Metafolin and Thorne 5-MTHF.
I will let you know how I do with my own methylated folate supplementation as time goes by! Hope you enjoyed this fibro thought (and recipe) today!

Hello everyone!! I'm Marilyn Here in the States and I'm here to talk about what Dr. James did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 4 years and had constant pain and itching, especially in my private part. During the first year. This disease started circulating all over my body and I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Val acyclovir, Acyclovir, and some other products and it really helped during my outbreaks but I totally got cured! From my HSV with a strong and active herbal medicine ordered from Dr. James herbal mix and it completely fought the virus from my nervous system, and I was tested negative after 15 days of using Dr. James herbal mix medicine. I'm here to let you all know that the herpes virus has a complete cure, I got rid of mine with the help of Dr. James herbal medicine. I came across a testimony of Tasha, on the internet testifying about Dr. James, on how he cured Her of 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of the great Dr. James (drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com...]..., advising anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help with, so I emailed him telling him about me (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I'm going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him. I have faith he can cure me too, Dr. James prepared and sent me his herbal mix medicine made of roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after 15 days I drank his herbal mix medicine, I was totally cured. No more inching, pain on me anymore as Dr. James assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test. The result came out negative. So friends my advice is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like Alzheimer's Disease, Warts, Moles, Bipolar disorder, Shingles, HPV, HIV/AIDS, ALS, HBP, CANCER, NEPHROTIC SYNDROME HIV / AIDS, herpes cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Pancreatic cancers, bladder cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, Glaucoma., Cataracts, Macular degeneration, Cardiovascular disease, Autism, Lung disease.
