What is MTHFR?
MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. It is an enzyme deficiency that can cause many problems. There are 50+ gene variants. The most common ones that doctors will look for is C677T, A1298C, P39P and R594Q.
There are many combinations of MTHFR.
Some people are homozygous.
Example: Homozygous C677T means they got a copy of C677T from each parent.
Some people are compound heterozygous.
Example: One copy of A1298C from one parent and one copy of C677T from another parent.
Some people are heterozygous.
Example: One copy of A1298C from one parent.
Some people have triple homozygous mutations.
Example: Homozygous C677T, P39P and A1298C. I am sure I do not have to explain how this happened. By now you should know. Let me note that I have only been in contact with one person who has had a triple homozygous mutation.

Why Is Folate A Better Choice Than Folic Acid For Us?
What are some common problems with MTHFR?
- Homocystinuria
- Hemolytic anemia
- High homocysteine
- Thyroid disease I keep this one up here. Many of us have Hashimoto's thyroiditis who have MTHFR. Could it be from the metal toxicity? The glutens? Or the excessive fluoride we cannot dump?
- Gluten intolerence Glutens affect gut absorption. Which inhibits vitamin b absorption.
- Breast Cancer
- Colorectal Cancer
- Non Hodgkin Lymphoma
- Leukemia
- ALS
- Parkinson's
- Alzheimers
- Bi polar
- Schizophrenia
- Anxiety
- Panic Attacks
- Neuralgia
- Diabetes
- Insulin resistant diabetes
- Fibromyalgia
- Myalgic encephalomyelitis
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Autism
- Stroke
- Blood clot
- Pulmonary Embolism
- DVT
- Heart attack
- A Fib
- Miscarriage
- Pre eclampsia
- Post eclampsia
- Down Syndrome
- Spina bifida

- Meniere's Disease
- Connective Tissue Disease
- Epstein Barr Virus
- Spina Bifida
- Tongue Tie
- Heart Murmurs
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Multiple Chemical Sensitivity
- Migraine
- Retinal Vascular Occlusive Disease
One enzyme deficiency can cause all of these problems.
I will be adding links in the next few day connecting evidence to all of these problems and MTHFR and I will be adding more as I educate myself about MTHFR. If anyone is aware of something that I have not added please contact me at beclotaware@gmail.com.
