What Causes High Homeocysteine?

[Sitaruîm]

Hi guys, a friend of mine contacted me regarding his mother's issues. She's been told that her homocysteine is high and her doctor mentioned it can affect heart health and his advice was to take folic acid and to avoid cheeses. We all know that doctors are hit or miss and this could well be the equivalent to giving statins for this condition. Does anyone here have some experience with this issue that I could pass on to my friend?

B12, B9, and B6 are all needed for the methionine-homocysteine cycle.

You need sufficient riboflavin, choline, glycine, folate, and B12 for the methylation cycle. Maybe you have the MTFHR gene or you simply are deficient in those nutrients.
