What is Chronic fatigue? Chronic fatigue is a condition characterized by mental as well as physical tiredness and weakness over a long period of time, which is unaffected by taking rest. It results from irregularities in cellular metabolism and inefficient energy production. Here we discuss one of the factors that may be associated with chronic
What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?

The role of glutathione Even though involvement of genetic abnormalities in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is well-accepted, recent studies point to an equal contribution by environmental factors, particularly environmental toxicants. Glutathione in autism has become the topic of great interest as the scientists explore the theory that autism may be triggered by exposure to heavy
By Carolyn Ledowsky Founder MTHFR Support Australia Last night I attended the Methylation Seminar in Sydney presented by Metagenics. The presentation started with a discussion on how Methylation is important for key metabolic processes like creatine synthesis, phospholipid synthesis, cell communication and DNA repair. Case studies were presented for each of these and we were
Stephen Hawking is a world renowned English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author. He is what many people call a genius visionary whose knowledge is only limited by what science has yet to find out.

Histamine Intolerance Histamine intolerance (HIT) is a relatively common condition. The occurrence of HIT is increasing more these days, although the actual mechanism is not completely resolved. When it comes to HIT, we always think of some certain mutations in the DAO gene but HIT is not only because of this. We must also incorporate
Cardiovascular disease is a major health concern. Multiple co-morbidities are responsible for increasing the cardiovascular risks some of which include hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, smoking and hypertension. [1] All these diseases are directly or indirectly related to the plaque development inside the arteries otherwise known as atherosclerosis. The vascular tone of blood vessels is regulated by the
What does it mean? We live in a time when we can choose what to eat. But in our endeavour to be healthy, what are we doing to histamine levels? How is this affecting us? For most of us, histamine is just another chemical compound that we associate with allergies. It’s good for the most
We’ve written plenty about the importance of B12 intake with regards to the MTHFR gene. The best sources of B12 will always be the food you eat (specially meat) but what if you need to get more B12? You can only eat so much food in one day and sometimes B12-rich foods aren’t abundant. This is
