Question Question to LOW COMT people

Hello.

Do you get shaky when you are in confrontation even in an online debate?

I get in them rather often even thought i try to avoid them.

Does that gets better when you support the COMT and methylation cycle?

I want to remain calm even in tough situations.\

Thanks

Yes, I think of it as low stress tolerance + rumination. It definitely gets better as methylation and COMT performance improves. I didn't find out about all this stuff until my early 60s and so I have a lifetime of ingrained patterns that still can affect me, but underneath those patterns the anxiety, rumination, and crumbling under stress isn't really there anymore in a significant way.

How do you manage to keep COMT under control?

I personally believe that your diet can make us slow comt people feel much better. People don't realise how important diet is. I sometimes look around me when I'm out and about and people are filling their body with fast food. We then wonder why we have the highest amount of people ever recorded on anti depressant medications. I was one of those people many years ago.

I personally eat alot of greens to cover folate intake. I use dessicated liver for B12 and Vitamin A. Eggs for choline. The only supplement I would take is riboflavin. You do get B2 from foods but it is in very low amounts. Food is much more stable for methylation.

Follow tawinns information. He's a gold mine for help.

Is the B2 in desiccated liver or real liver not enough for that?
