Lar,
Thank you very much for having a look-see at these paragraphs. Thanks Lar.
> Ron! Long time no see, around these parts.Nice to talk to ya.
> Is Bob's block finally over?
Yep. My two year protest is over.
> Not so good. Thanks for asking. This pain thingie is eroding my cognitive function and resiliency. I feel very old.Life has dealt you a difficult hand, or should I say a difficult elbow. I'm very sorry that this has happened to you, Lar. I'm sorry.
> And just a few weeks ago my computer crashed and I lost everything. If I ever meet Bill Gates in person, I'm likely to kick him in the cajones.
Not good. You had some great bookmarked favorites, and those alone would be a hugh loss. Any back-ups?
> It may be called Pfeiffer, but it's Walsh running it. And Walsh ain't no Pfeiffer.
> Given their diagnostic categorizations, I'm strongly undermethylated and overmethylated at the same time. It's hard to overcome my subjective bias in this instance, but it still informs me that what they say cannot hold true. And, if you read the article with a cynical eye, you'll note that they incorporate explanations for why their treatment might not work. Which it often doesn't.
> With respect to folate, I cannot recommend that anyone avoid folate intake. Of all the B-vitamins, this is the one the vast majority are deficient in. Off the top of my head, it's more than 90% of Americans.
> In any case, you can't use statistics to guide treatment. You have to do the experiment(s).In the end, it always comes down to trial-and-error; lab rats that use guided discovery to make best guesses of what have the best chances of working.
> > Whadda ya think, Lar? Should undermethylators avoid folate?> In a word, no. IMPNSHO.
> Well, if I'm da man, then mankind ain't looking so good. But thanks.The fact that you are willing to answer other's questions, and to be concerned for the well being of others, inspite of your pain, make you all the more "Da Man".
Thank you again, Lar.
