Just that I *did* respond to SAMe which indicates undermethylation.

This was Larry's response to that post. http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/alter/20031104/msgs/278173.html Between that and what he said later, I took it to mean that he thought Pfeiffer was wrong, but to experiment oneself with folate to be sure.

Well, the subsequent discussion on choline and DMAE was inconclusive. I still haven't determined if lecithin is helpful or not. Just bought some recently to try it again. I took DMAE years ago and felt terrible on it. But that was in my premagnesium days when I also felt awful from tyrosine.

I'm not sure.

I think I'd just try the TMG then. From what Larry's said, it's less potentially harmful in not increasing homocysteine anyway.
