He warns that those who are undermethylators should not take folate if they have cognitive\/mood issues, as it will make their anxiety or depression worse. Since those with the MTHFR gene defect are likely undermethylators, his advice contradicts Dr Lynch\u2019s advice regarding the use of folate. Could you ask Dr Lynch if he has any opinion regarding this?<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Walsh has treated over 30,000 patients with mental health problems and has one of the largest lab chemistry data bases in the world. It would be great to see the top doctors collaborating on the methylation cycle as it seems to be a large piece of the puzzle for so many people. Maybe a methylation summit? It\u2019s such a complicated and confusing subject and there seems to be some contradictory information out there.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This was my response:<\/p>\n<p>These are excellent questions you bring up!<\/p>\n<p>The terminology can be confusing so I will recap my understanding here:<\/p>\n<p>Undermethylators\/high histamine\/histadelia = folate not good<br \/> Overmethylators or low folate\/low histamine\/histapenia = folate helps symptoms<\/p>\n<p>This is from the work of Carl Pfeiffer (his book \u201cNutrition and Mental Illness\u201d is excellent) and is also written about in Joan Matthews Larson\u2019s wonderful book \u201cDepression-Free Naturally\u201d and Eva Edelman\u2019s \u201cNatural Healing for Schizophrenia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As you\u2019re aware Dr. Walsh uses this terminology too. His book is \u201cNutrient Power.\u201d Here is a snippet from a powerpoint of his called The Role of Epigenetics in Mental Health\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Undermethylated mental patients are intolerant to folic acid, but most overmethylated mental patients improve after folic acid supplements.<\/p>\n<p>Folic Acid generates acetylase enzymes that alter histones, promoting expression of SERT and DAT transporter proteins. SERT and DAT enhance reuptake at serotonin and dopamine synapses\u2026. thus reducing NT activity.<\/p>\n<p>For undermethylators, the harmful impact of folic acid at NT synapses greatly exceeds the benefits of normalizing methylation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So there is a place for methylfolate. I don\u2019t know anything about SERT and DAT transporter proteins so can\u2019t comment on that aspect, but look forward to learning more.<\/p>\n<p>You say \u201cSince those with the MTHFR gene defect are likely undermethylators.\u201d I don\u2019t know that this is a true statement. I would love to see a source for this? It\u2019s certainly not the case with me \u2013 I have the MTHFR 1298C defect and have low histamine\/histapenia\/overmethylation (using the Carl Pfeiffer terminology).<\/p>\n<p>As far as I\u2019m aware Dr Walsh does NOT feel the MTHFR defects play a role in all of this. I hope to learn more and interview him on a future Anxiety Summit.<\/p>\n<p>I have not seen Dr. Lynch write about histapenia and histadelia or the work of Carl Pfeiffer, although some <a href=\"http:\/\/mthfr.net\/taking-folate-and-feeling-badly-methylation-requires-balance\/2011\/11\/15\/\" target=\"_blank\">recent comments in this blog<\/a>\u00a0 refer to Walsh and Dr. Lynch says he\u2019ll check it out.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Lynch is not a big fan of the terms overmethylation and undermethylation. And when he talks about overmethylation and undermethylation I think he is referring to <a href=\"http:\/\/mthfr.net\/overmethylation-and-undermethylation-case-study\/2012\/06\/27\/\" target=\"_blank\">the methylation process being more effective\/speeding up<\/a> and being less effective\/slowing down within a few days of adding methylfolate supplements.<\/p>\n<p>So I feel we have some terminology differences AND some differences of opinions.<\/p>\n<p>Both Dr. Walsh and Dr. Lynch see amazing results with their patients\/clients but I agree with you \u2013 I\u2019d love to clear up some of the confusion. I\u2019m going send this question and my answer to Dr. Lynch for our interview next Friday. Since he may need to do some additional prep\/research, we may have to do a deeper dive into this question on a future summit. Hopefully he\u2019ll be able to add something to the discussion this time.<\/p>\n<p>I did also interview Yamsina (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelowhistaminechef.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.thelowhistaminechef.com<\/a>) for this summit and she too was not familiar with the work of Carl Pfeiffer so it\u2019s exciting that we can all learn from each other and advance the field.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, this is not all bad because it gets us thinking and asking questions and digging deeper.<\/p>\n<p>Paula then has this follow-up question:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/latitudes.org\/dr-william-walsh-autism-ocd-pandas-depression-methylation\/\" target=\"_blank\">following quote from this link<\/a> gave me the impression that the MTHFR mutation usually caused undermethylation, but farther down it also references where Dr Walsh says it\u2019s possible to have MTHFR and not be undermethylated.<\/p>\n<p>In your opinion, do people fall into either an overmethylated or undermethylated status or can you be an undermethylator in certain areas of the methylation cycle and an overmethylator in other areas of the cycle? If someone has some traits of an undermethylator and some traits of an overmethylator, what would you recommend?<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Walsh: Based on my massive chemistry database, about 22% of the population is undermethylated and 8% overmethylated. These are inborn tendencies that usually persist throughout life. Undermethylation usually results from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that weaken MTHFR or other enzymes in the methylation cycle. Overmethylation is generally caused by enzyme weaknesses (SNPs) in the SAMe utilization pathways.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts on using genetic testing, such as \u201c23 and Me\u201d to create an individual methylation roadmap\/treatment plan.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Walsh: Genetic testing is quite inexpensive, highly accurate, reliable, and will certainly grow in importance in future years. These tests can already identify predispositions for many disorders such as breast cancer and Alzheimer\u2019s and may soon obsolete the need for pap smears. However the reliability of genetic testing for assessing methylation is quite limited at present.<\/p>\n<p>Identifying SNP weaknesses in MTHFR and other methylation-cycle enzymes does not necessarily mean that individual is undermethylated. There is a \u201ctug-of-war\u201d competition between enzyme SNPs that weaken methylation and SNPs in the SAMe utilization pathway that can produce overmethylation.<\/p>\n<p>I believe you\u2019re right Trudy in saying this is not all bad because it gets everyone thinking and digging deeper. I think both Dr Lynch and Dr Walsh bring invaluable information to the discussion, each adding something that can further illuminate how this complicated process works. Thanks again to you for providing us an opportunity to ask questions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And this is my response:<\/p>\n<p>This is a perfect summary of Dr Walsh\u2019s approach \u2013 thank you!<\/p>\n<p>This part is interesting: \u201cUndermethylation usually results from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that weaken MTHFR or other enzymes in the methylation cycle. Overmethylation is generally caused by enzyme weaknesses (SNPs) in the SAMe utilization pathways.\u201d I\u2019d love to know which ones\u2026 and then he says \u201cHowever the reliability of genetic testing for assessing methylation is quite limited at present\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His percentages are also interesting and I would challenge this saying it\u2019s very likely based on the people he has worked with: 22% of the population is undermethylated (high histamine) and 8% overmethylated (low histamine).<\/p>\n<p>When I worked with Julia Ross we saw way more low histamine and that is likely because we worked with more women who seem to be prone to low histamine.<\/p>\n<p>This is also what Carl Pfeiffer found: \u201cThese are inborn tendencies that usually persist throughout life\u201d and was my understanding until I started learning from Dr Lynch 2 years ago. Now I\u2019m confused too!<\/p>\n<p>Here is a nice post by Chris Kresser: <a href=\"http:\/\/chriskresser.com\/methylation-what-is-it-and-why-should-you-care\" target=\"_blank\">Methylation \u2013 What it is and why should you care.<\/a> I\u2019m going to paraphrase some of it. He says yes do the 23and me testing but: \u201cgenetics do not always predict functional methylation capacity\u201d\u2026\u201dI really believe that we need to be testing both\u201d\u2026 \u201cThere are different ways to test functional methylation capacity. Doctor\u2019s Data has a methylation panel blood test. Health Diagnostics and Research Institute has a Methylation Pathways Panel that\u2019s good and I tend to use in my practice. Genova has a Complete Hormones profile that, among other things, looks at the ability to convert proliferative estrogen metabolites into less proliferative metabolites, and those conversions are methylation dependent. So if you see poor conversion happening there, that\u2019s a methylation issue. The urine organics acids profile from Genova has some methylation markers, active folate and B12 deficiency. And then a urine amino acids profile can be helpful to look at taurine levels and levels of other metabolites in the methylation cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This above blog has comments about Dr. Walsh and Dr. Lynch too so they are worth a read.<\/p>\n<p>Of course Dr. Lynch supports the fact that just because you have a defect it doesn\u2019t mean you are affected by it so the additional functional testing makes total sense. And he recommends this additional testing too.<\/p>\n<p>I feel it\u2019s time to mesh the old research and prior work Carl Pfeiffer did, the work Dr. Walsh is doing, Dr. Lynch\u2019s work and the new methylation research. And the wisdom from other practitioners like Chris Kresser and people like you who are digging and reading and asking questions<\/p>\n<p>We clearly all have lots to learn!\u00a0 I know I don&#8217;t have the answers! This topic has been front and center in my mind for awhile so it\u2019s good to get it down in writing here (so thanks Paula, for asking this question!)<\/p>\n<p>I encourage you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/anxiety-summit-methylfolate-anxiety\" target=\"_blank\">listen in to my interview with Dr. Lynch<\/a>. We talk about this and acknowledge that we all have gaps and that getting together to talk about all this would be an excellent idea!<\/p>\n<p>And finally, please share if you have had your histamine levels tested (whole blood histamine)?\u00a0 Low or high? and have you found results with the Pfeiffer protocol?<\/p>\n<p>I have tested mine and have low histamine\/histapenia and absolutely do benefit from the low histamine protocol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In preparing for the Anxiety Summit I put out a call for questions for my methylfolate interview with Dr.
