Larry,
Very glad to see you posting again. I'm not sure we've ever exchanged messages (even when I was posting under "pellmell"), but the stuff you've contributed in old threads has been immensely helpful to me. I'm doubly glad to see you willing to err... review... stuff like this that you've gone over a bunch of times in the past. The babble archives can be hard to navigate, and new post-ers need fresh advice!
So now that I've buttered you up, maybe you can answer my question. Is there any sort of physiological reason that you're aware of why chronic dosing of folic acid, SAM-e, or TMG increases my blood pressure? The SAM-e is by far the worst of the three, but the other two do it as well.
I only have a clue about why SAM-e might do this -- maybe something to do with epinephrine -- but I'm clueless about the other two.
I suppose it's possible my creaky powers of empiricism have failed me, and that it's something unrelated causing the increased blood pressure... but at least in the case of SAM-e I don't think so.
