Try taking a multimineral pill. make sure it contains at least a hundred percent of the RDA of molybdenem, and Selenium. It should contain about fifty percent of the RDA of copper, zinc, and iodine also. Don't like pills, just eat some real oatmeal once a week and cream of wheat once a week.
Eat a little more sulfur foods too, the amount can be higher if the molybdenum is higher. enzymes reliant on molybdenum help to process the sulfur foods. Eggs and onions are a good source.
Make sure you are getting adequate salt....by that I mean sea salt, which has a higher percentage of Chloride compared to table salt. Try making homemade chicken soup about once every two weeks, it needs onions, cabbage, and a few drops of tabasco, this will help to supply NAC which helps to protect the cells and the body can break down NAC to produce taurine. Taurine and NAC can also be acquired from rare meats and supplements if you can't make a homemade soup. But supplements aren't as good as food and you have to eat anyway so there is no real added cost. A big pot of chicken soup costs about ten bucks and will feed four or five people.
Now the molybdenum can help with depression if copper levels are too high. Copper is necessary in our bodies but excessive levels are no good. If copper gets too low, you start to notice that bread bothers you a little.
If you take a multivitamin/multimineral pill make sure it contains molybdenum, it it doesn't it can cause a problem with oxygen utilization in the body because the other things being boosted can cause a shortage of molybdenum.
These are just suggestions, don't overdo any minerals or vitamins because they can cause imbalances to form. Boosting niacin can cause a depletion of some minerals and B12. You can take a megapill of niacin or B12 to jumpstart your system if you are locked out but then return back to normal.
Mega niacin can cause some problem if foods containing lucine, isolucine, and valine are not consumed at the same time, so eat some pork and beans or corn with it. BBQ chicken goes good with corn on the cob. Use corn chips if eating hot Salsa. Hot salsa is just like mega niacine pills, it makes your forehead hot and sometimes it sweats.
Now I got off topic again, the first paragraphs are what I would suggest to try. The multimineral pill I take gets me up and moving.

for the nerve damage, i take methyl B-12 and alpha lipoic acid. note that it has to be METHYL B-12. not normal B-12.
Another member who seems to be an expert on nutrition recommended Sublingual methycobalamin. I have ordered some to try.

In the last link you supplied, a few paragraphs down, it talks about molybdenum to properly utilize sulfur compounds in the body. It is one of about four steps. The molybdenum is shared by about four enzymes in the body and if any of these hog the molybdenum, there isn't enough.
I have temperal lobe epilepsy, I am very intolerant of all the meds they tried. I use sulfur foods to treat my epilepsy, but I have to take a molybdenum supplement or I get problems. If I were to lower sulfur foods, I wouldn't need to do this. The combination of the extra sulfur and the added molebdenum helped to clear my thinking. I'm pretty sure it is because it helps me detox the chemicals in food. I've learned this from trial and error, and I have made my share of errors.
Because of a few problems with gene mutations, I am not supposed to eat stuff like broccoli and califlower. The list of foods not to eat includes most sulfur foods. Most sulfur meds are not tolerated. But I needed to treat my epilepsy so learned many ways to dope the mind a tad bit or more. Not surprisedly, the governments health people tote these doping foods as healthy and call the ones that make us think better and faster bad for us. Oh well, I guess all governments do that. So I found the best way to utilize this to bring up my thinking, but I can't work much if I do this, it still is a problem when I bring up my energy level of the body. My seizures are not grand mal and I never fall. I haven't had a seizure in five years, I learned how to control it with certain foods and avoidance of certain situations.
I eat more sulfur foods than anyone I know now, but without the molybdenum supplement I would be in bad shape. The sulfites and sulfides would tear my body apart. Now, these problems with sulfur only effect, for a variety of different genetic and metabolic reasons, about half the population of the country. There are about three different ways to address the sulfur food intolerance based on what the causes of the problem are. I should actually do a thread on this, but I hate starting threads. If I wanted to write threads I would write in my account at "organized wisdom". But those aren't really my kind of people.

When you have a few of the porphyrias it is not advised to fast. I have gone three days without eating before when I was young though with no problem other than altered perception that went away once I ate.
My father fasted for three days once a year and he didn't have problems, but my mother couldn't go without eating, she got very crabby. My wife has the same problem. I can metabolize fats well though, better than sugars.
I hate when a bunch of people profiting off of us say we are defective if we cannot tolerate the poison they are calling safe.

Sulfur is destroyed by heat as are amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids and other things
Borax is very good for CFD
and if this is related to mycoplasma try sprouting some opium seeds (davesgarden.com... ) my friend cured himself of mycoplasma using a different form of opium.
well worth investigating schuessler cell salts your body has 12 different salts in there cells these are a cheap and effective remedy to getting the basis of your body working.
also research sulphur coarse crystal flakes no additives or anti caking agents (watercress is the highest sulphur containing food) Borax 30-60mg a day (this is completely safe as long as you are over 9 months old) combine with magnesium 400-600 mg a day (nuts are very high in magnesium and other goodies), Iodine 7% solution this is normally only obtained with a doctors cert or you can look on youtube and make yourself as your doctor probably won't give you it as the fda have banned it sort of by reducing the percentage in formulas like lugols.
potassium is also essential so apple cider vinegar or to go one stage further look into potassium hydrochloride this is essential to absorbing nutrients.
I would imagine fluoride is associated to this so distilled water with some hydrogen peroxide 35% 7 drops in one gallon
once you have got the basis of your body working correctly do some fasting a 10 day fast will remove a huge amount of the toxins in your system start with an enema of pure water even combine with some coffee as this helps the liver
I would do a lot of research on the fasting as when you get it right it helps the body cure itself.
