I developed PID, recurring cervicitis, and cervical dysplasia 2 years ago after contracting HPV from my boyfriend. I got very ill for two years and seemed to have very extreme side effects (we had mold in the apt unknown to us, which didn’t help). I was told I was mentally making it up. I was finally diagnosed as being homozygous C677T. I started taking Thorne Basic B Complex twice a day, which helps and I am improving. What else can I do to make sure I don’t continue to be so sick? I am only in my early 20s but once I got the GYN infections, my MTHFR mutation issues seemed to flare. My GP doesn’t know much about it. An endocrinologist found the issues.

Marie-

These symptoms all make sense with homozygous C677T MTHFR mutation. Why? Because they are all screaming for folic acid and methylfolate – especially the cervical dysplasia as that responds very well to folic acid typically.

MTHFR enzyme is critical in many biochemical pathways and functions. Making bases for your DNA is one such function as new DNA is needed for immune cell production along with repairing tissues.

Taking just a basic B complex is not going to cut it.

You need to be on a more extensive program.

I do recommend a consult. Please call 800-547-9812 and you may start the process online here.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I’m a graduate student with no money and my sickness depleted the little I had remaining. As a result, the consult is too expensive for me. I was looking for information, which I’ve found difficult to find online. My doctors also know very little. Thanks again.

Marie… just don’t give up. So many doctors are still just not giving the whole MTHFR thing credit. I asked an OB/GYN a few months ago whether she agreed that my female cycle issues and my mood swings could be from my MTHFR and she literally laughed at me. I had some documentation in my hand and she told me she didn’t have time to read it. She said the documentation meant nothing and that whatever’s going on with my blood and DNA would have no bearing on my reproductive system. (Yes, I’m looking for a new OB/GYN!) Meanwhile, another wonderful doctor listened to my mother’s symptoms, got her tested and found the mutations… got her on supplements and then insisted I get tested… and both our lives have improved exponentially! I am confident that this particular doctor saved both my mom’s life and my future! Good doctors, like Dr. Ben, are out there. Don’t give up. Do try to purify your diet a bit (getting rid of gluten, high simple carbs, more protein, lots of different veggies…) these are all ways that us poor folks can at least work towards answers. :) You are not alone! :)

Hi Laura,besides having a young 5 year old with your name, I have a 20 year old ghtdauer called Kira who was also born with Spina Bifida.We live in Malta, a tiny island in the Mediterranean and things here are similar I suppose. We are lucky to have great health care which is entirely free, so Kira’s numerous stays in hopsital and surgeries were taken care of!I cannot begin to imagine what it would have been like to have to pay for all of that!Particularly as I was a single mum when I had her! Her walking aids etc are subsidised and her wheelchairs are partly paid for. still there’s a lot which needs to be done to make life more accessible for her. Her next step is to drive!Kira unfortunately doesn’t like school much and she’s still trying to find her way in adult life. I am hoping she will be in touch with you herself! You’re a great person! Keep up the energy!

Marie –

Please read this article on MTHFR C677T protocol – it has some great pointers for you and recommendations.
