I also notice i have ants crawling under the skin sensation and i have had this for a long time i think. but not it is more pronounced. Im leaning towards lyme disease which im trying to get tested for. I have a rash a red circle but it wasnt a bullseye rash on my left forearm shortly after all my symptoms began last year. I also have red rashes on the knees and leg weakness and arthritic knee symptoms.

Im about to purchase the B12 extreme sublingual tablets search for them on google and you will see they contain 4 types of active B12's. Jarrow's Methycobalamin is also good. Im also planning on getting Injections. It is a good idea to do 1:1 ratio of injections with methycobalamin:Folinic acid - which is the 5MTHF active form of folate which is good for those even with the MTHFR mutation.

Folate & B12 supplementation will help to repair DNA.

Im about to see a integrative specialist about all my problems and to do further testing. Im suspecting some kind of chronic infection with either parasites, lyme or herpes simplex. I have started feeling a great deal better since i have beent taking a chinese herbal tonic called Astra 8 Immune Tonic, which tells me its immunity related definitly. Acupuncture which stimulates the meridian points and chinese herbal medicine has also helped a lot. Im also on a glutathione cream to promote detoxification of metals and any other toxins from infectious agents. Im about to do a colonic in a couple of days also to clean out my bowels.

Investigations which revealed something:

- Endoscopy/colonoscopy/gastroscopy - Mild chronic gastritis & Erosion, Mild oesophagitis,
- High Mercury on new hair analysis - 1.42 (1.32<)
- High Gadolinium - hair analysis - 0.0184 (<0.0005)
- November 2008 - Mercury 2.4 (0.0 - 0.6)
- Moderate Thoracic Kyphosis
- Low cortisol on morning saliva sample.
- Low Hair Sulfur
- Low Hair Zinc - 115 (119 - 245)
- All Minerals barely in normal range - Despite taking tonnes of supplements for the past 7 months to correct it. - indicating some kind of malabsorbtion
- Very High Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies - 2069 (<50) elevated T.S.H, T3 2.4 (2.5 - 6.0) - hashimoto's likely...
- Low Total Testosterone - 10.1 (12 - 32), Low LH 1.7 (2.0 - 10.00)
- T-cell subsets show -

Elevated CD8 (T suppressor cells) - 1.18* (0.40-1.00)
Elevated HLA-DR (Class II) - 0.65* (0.04-0.50)
Th:Ts (CD4/CD8) Ratio - 0.8* (1.20-3.00)


In general the pulse and tongue are a good way to see into the bodys state of health as do chinese medical doctors they have been spot on with me telling me my kidneys (endocrine system) is weak, digestion/absorbtion is weak. and that something has taken my power (infection of some kind). So this is the way i look for clues into what is really happening.

Whatever someones health problem is if the 6 areas - Nutritional state, hormone levels, immune status, gastrointestinal function, heavy metal overload (hair analysis) and metabolic/mitochondrial function is checked then you will usually find the culprit.

Genetic mutations are the buggers that cause chronic disease and they can be altered through supplementation. Thats why DNA testing is so useful, but not many doctors employ it. MTHFR - The Methyltetrahydrofolate reductase mutation being the most common effecting roughly up to 40% of the population. Most of the population is Undermethylated meaning their DNA is misreplicating causing chronic disease.

For example most autistic children have mercury or heavy metal poisoning and they have severe detoxification impairments through lack of glutathione (the bodys master antioxidant), malabsorbtion of nutritients, gut dybosis and low body sulfur levels. If you can excrete the metals out of their bodys, improve their absorbtion and eliminate any bacteria/candida infections in their GI tract they usually become normal children.



Sorry this might be too much information...
