I have MTHFR on my mind again. My mom recently tested positive for both of the two most common MTHFR gene polymorphisms (677/1298). Which wasn't a huge suprise since she has fibromyalgia. Her positive test confirmed my suspicions that the MTHFR gene polymorphism is one of the root causes of the chronic health problems experienced by our extended family. I spent a little bit of time on pubmed this weekend doing some more research. I have a collection of fascinating articles that are "must reads" for those dealing with autism, anxiety, and other MTHFR related issues. SO interesting.
A post from a new-to-me blog that offers info on MTHFR:
What I found very interesting is that the MTHFR protocol that Dr. Rawlins is using to treat my mother is similar to the biomedical treatment protocol for autism. Here is a site where Dr. Rawlin's brother put some links to Dr. Rawlins work. The second link on the site is a very informative powerpoint presentation.
Also, for more info on MTHFR see my previous post here.
Looking through this wonderful site, I am amazed at the extensive overlap in our searches. My daughter with childhood symptoms of "schizoaffective," "fibromyalgia," "associated characteristics of autism,"chronic fatigue" and is homozygous for the MTHFR polymorphism and is on supplementation, among other things.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I could comment on so many different posts of yours because of so much overlap! Even your previous post on K2. She is on vitamin K and indeed, as you mentioned was found to have osteoporosis before even reaching adulthood!
I bet you wish you could let people know about the scientific research into these areas that so many doctors (traditional) are simply ignoring. I know I wish I could! She is doing well now, but it was not easy, and we really had to search for doctors that helped, and - like you - had to do a lot of digging on our own.
love, love, love Dr Rawlins and his findings as well. thanks for your hard work and research too.
ReplyDeletecan someone tell me if K2 supplementation is a good or bad thing for kids with this mutation?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is a bad thing. The only concern would be a soy allergy/sensitivity since most K2 is derived from soy. I know there is one soy-free one available. My mom has the mutation and she reacts poorly to the soy based one.
DeleteThis is something I've only just started to read about and your blog is really interesting :) love it! I work in mental health so it's a great help!
ReplyDeleteI started on COPD Herbal treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic the treatment worked incredibly for my lungs condition. I used the herbal treatment for almost 4 months, it reversed my COPD. My severe shortness of breath, dry cough, chest tightness gradually disappeared. Reach Ultimate Life Clinic via their website at www.ultimatelifeclinic.com . I can breath much better and It feels comfortable!
ReplyDeleteThe paper on supposed enhanced folate status is the worst drivel I've seen in a while and I read a lot of studies. Women have a lower folate status than ever and that means they often can't detox properly. Half of the toxins are often dumped into the first child. That's why autism in more common in first borns. And tbh, the whole idea that genes that at least half of the population possesses is responsible for the increase in ill health is just preposterous when we have to deal with more toxins and less nutrients in our foods than ever.
ReplyDeleteI grew up being told I was genetically defective. As it turned out that was just a hypothesis and thus a lie.
