Our family carry the heamachromatosis gene- my aunt has it. There are some papers which have found links not only to iron but also to lead for those with this gene. Tends to happen later in life, but my aunt does not have heamochromatosis - gene is not activated - but does have lead accumulation

Sulfation affects metal processing - if you have a problems with sulfite/ sulfate then , depending on enzymes/ genes and pathways affected metal accumulation can happen. It may be dose dependent -add in a few additional environmental inputs and systems can' t cope .

I think there is a not insignificant cohort for whom vaccination is a definite trigger. Given the ME historical links to polio i did find the temporary paralysis effect from HPV interesting - i don' t know how common this is to know if it' s significant.

I could be wrong but i think biolab do an MMA test My GP didn' t have much of a clue either re B12 levels.

Unfortunately she can't tolerate B vits. Metabolism seems very screwed up. Hopefully 23 and me may provide positive routes. Thanks @Valentijn do you still have a 23andme database that she could contribute to - as she is severely affected it may have pertinent SNPs?
