“Many docs, I believe are incorrect, believe that we are too methylated.”

I think a major concern with methyl radicals is the methylation of DNA and RNA, which can impair correct protein production or even block it.

I believe the danger of methyl radicals is only prevalent in the absence of inflammatory pathogens such as, environmental toxins. For instance, methyl donors are critical in the fight against cancer and more benign ailments, such as asthma. Arguably, we live in a much more toxic world, and thus, the probability of DNA damage, due to methyl radicals, is far less than the damaging inflammatory effects of glycation.

Enzymes, in theory, are crucial in methylation balance, which inturn can play a role in the production of methyl radicals and glycation, for that matter. The key to health, healing and the prevention of disease is striking that balance and sometimes, the art and spirit of healing is just as important as science.
