IIRC when you are in a half-awake state your brain is generating theta waves. So it was I was musing while slowly waking from a nap this evening. This state has always been rather fertile time for the generation of ideas for me, I can remember one instance I solved a rather difficult homework problem from a graduate course the morning after with a theta-induced change of perspective.
Anyway, I was suddenly struck by the urge to put this methylation theory to the test. Although my sucesses to date appear to have centered around percursor loading (first with DLPA, then tyrosine, and presently tyrosine plus 5-HTP) I have felt my qualms about it as it would suggest my absorption, breakdown, and utilization of dietary proteins is poor, which I don't believe is really the case (shouldn't I have more somatic symptoms from that?).
My first and second trials with TMG were both done before I brought Mg supplementation on board. This might turn out to have been a key move in light of the information Graham has generously provided me with in the form of the diagram of methionine/homocystiene metabolism.
The whole business of last Friday reinforced my faith in broad spectrum supplementation of vitamins (i.e. its not enough for me to just take C and B6).
Therefore I am considering dropping tyrosine and 5-HTP for a while, and seeing if complete vitamin-mineral supplementation plus TMG is able to do the trick for me. If it does I consider it a victory for Pfeiffer and the proponents of methylation. ;-) If not I can always turn back to precursor loading.
