Hold off on the others for a month or two. Did you get Vit D measured as well? Do you know that result?

Your B12 looks good. You may hold off on that too unless you want to try 1000mcg a day of methyl type on an empty stomach.
That would be your choice.
The testing does not separate out the methyl from other forms, so you could have inactive B12 that is showing up on the test. By taking 1000mcg of the active methyl form and seeing improvement that would tell you that you probably are not methylating properly. Since B12 is not toxic, this would be an inexpensive test. After 3 mons you should have some answer either way.

Qunol may have some soybean oil in it, but it is not like the 100% soy liquicaps that preceded it. Qunol uses a solubilizing technology to improve absorption.

So you probably don't need the 300mg a day.

Don't use the mag lotion on the bottoms of the feet, the skin is too thick there for absorption. Only do the tops and ankles.

As far as using statins, the tide is really turning on this subject.
Since Lipitor went generic, pro-statin news is less than ever. In fact today I was sent a new link to a story in Nature magazine suggesting that the statin theory is changing:

And research is ongoing at MIT... by Stephanie Seneff PhD on cholesterol and how crucial it is for health:
http://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/

There are some very compelling interviews on YouTube with her and Dr. Mercola where she explains her research. The bottom line from that series should you watch them (several parts to it all) is that the only benefits to statins show up in the first 2 yrs on them, and then they actually do serious damage to the body.
This is part one:

Her research is mostly on cholesterol sulfate.
you can link to the rest of the series from this first part.

Also Dr. Kendrick has a short video illustrating how cholesterol is not really associated with heart disease at all:
This is based on a study from WHO:

As Big Pharma loses their patents on statins, we will see more and more of the truth about these drugs, IMO.
