OverMethylation- Mercury

Does Mercury and other Heavy Metals cause Overmethylation?


I have a question in regards to Overmethylation, my Naturopath is convinced I am over Methylated due low Histamine levels and elevated Dopamine(but I have depleted Norepinphrine and Epi levels). I am not entirely sold on the whole Overmethylation thing as it seems likes its the bodies main detox pathway, it seems we would not want to slow down detoxification.

Is it possible that the body elevates its Methyl production IN RESPONSE to heavy metal toxicity. I know I have heavy Copper burden and likely more metals. I know this is Chicken/egg, which came first question. But it is important because the Overmethylation may be the bodies attempt at detoxing all the heavy metals? In which case we would want to let it run its course as opposed to slowing it down.

Any experience? Tweet
