    The most important thing is to eliminate processed grains! Not just a gluten free diet, but a processed-grain-free diet. Try it and see how much better you feel. Also take B12 daily in the form of methylcobalamin.

      That's what I had been taught 10 years ago, but now I just found out the CDC is claiming MTHFR doesn't have any effect and people with the mutations can still process folic acid just fine. Now holistic doctors are not testing for MTHFR, and are not educating their patients about it, just quietly prescribing methylated vitamins without telling them why. I'd bet the AMA is prohibiting it, just like they muzzled doctors from talking about the covid "vaccine" injections.

    Looking back to my childhood, I can see a lot of red flags as an adult. Didn't have epilepsy or any learning disability that I am aware of. I did however have a lot of anxiety, the occasional panic attacks. Air hunger, etc etc.. I've always been a poor sleeper. My Mom used to tell me that as a baby, I rarely ever took naps. I've struggled with insomnia on and off for years. As a child, I also had chronic sinus infections and two sinus surgeries by the age of 8. Allergies, food intolerances, and at one point, even displaying asthmatic symptoms, but somehow I overcame that.
