Gelatin should be eaten with muscle meat to balance the harmful amino acids, which are exactly the ones that are liberated from a person's muscle when he or she is under stress, and leads to an intensification to the stress response.
I think I actually have an excess of methyl groups, if anything. I had slightly low absolute basophils (associated with histamine) on a blood test, and I share some symptom similarities with overmethylators. One simple symptom is sensitivity to chemicals like air fresheners but lack of allergies. Here is something interesting the site I mentioned in the OP stated:
Someone suggested that my problems with concentration and short term memory are due to low norepinephrine, yet this suggests that I have an excess. Indeed, these people have a high incidence of ADHD.
Folate or B12 can use up my methyl groups. Beef liver should be good for overmethylators since it contains plenty of B-vitamins. Choline and histidine are easily tolerable for overmethylated people, two negative nutrients in beef liver.
I'm going to try glycine to activate GABA as well as GABA itself. Overmethylators respond well to benzodiazepines, which are GABAergic agents, and poorly to SSRI's and antihistamines. Maybe I'll also order vitamin B12, I was worried that the cyanide group would have a negative effect. I guess it won't, since a little cyanide uncouples mitochondria and it has been mentioned on Peatarian. Folate, I'm really not sure about, since RP said it's often impure.

The generalization that perfume and other chemical sensitivities are associated with overmethylation, low blood histamine, and elevated norepinephaine... is exactly that...a general rule with many exceptions. However, the correlation seems to be above 90 percent in the case of perfume sensitivity. Whenever a patient enters our clinic wearing a mask to filter out inhalant chemicals, we immediately suspect the overmethylation syndrome. The chemical testing usually confirms this diagnosis, but there definitely are a few persons who have severe perfume sensitivity for other reasons. We've evaluated about 19,000 persons, including about 1500 with anxiety disorder or panic disorder. Hundreds of these patients reported sensitivity to perfumes. Nearly 90 percent of the perfume-sensitive group were overmethylated, and reported multiple chemical and food sensitivities. usually in the absence of seasonal inhalant allergies. Perfume sensitivity is a classic symptom of these high nonepinephaine persons, who usually respond beautifully to folate/B-12 therapy [1 Dec -03]
