I am somewhat excited to soon embark on the Revised Simplified Methylation Protocol.
The purpose of this blog is really for me to track my progress.
Hopefully I can update this on a semi-regular basis, particularly with milestones and interesting things to note.
If you are not familiar with this here are some great links:
The protocol as outlined by its creator Dr Rich Van Konynenburg
The theory behind the methylation cycle block

- History and Underpinnings – How the Hypothesis came about, what it is, why the Yasko-Autism connection fits, and why he believes it pertains to ME/CFS (7/07): http://phoenixrising.me/treating-cfs-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-me/treating-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-mecfs-glutathione-and-the-methylation-cycle/a-simplified-treatment-approach-based-on-the-glutathione-depletion-methylation-cycle-block-pathogenesis-hypothesis-for-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-cfs-by-rich-van-konynenburg-ph-d
- Rich provides a step by step simpler explanation of his theory:
