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. Despite his tremendous achievements, he is currently much more recognized to be the symbol of a crippling disease: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Preconception health. What is that!? Preconception care is what we call the preparation time a woman and man undergoes before they become pregnant. It’s all about knowing the risk factors that could affect a woman’s body or her baby if she becomes pregnant and how they should prepare nutritionally and environmentally to ensure the best
How This Weed Killer Could Also Be Killing You Glyphosate herbicides are the most popular and most commonly used herbicides today. While manufacturers claim them to be “safe,” there’s a whole lot of evidence that says otherwise. In this article, we will discuss the serious harm glyphosates bring about to our health and environment. What
What are oxalates? Oxalate is produced as an end-product of metabolism of vitamin C, as well as of fructose and the amino acids serine and glycine. The body does not use oxalate for any of its processes; instead, it is excreted from the body through the urine or faeces. Even if oxalate intake is zero,
What are oxalates? Oxalates aren’t exactly well known compounds, but they can affect our health if our body doesn’t process it optimally. Oxalates are found in a wide variety of foods and play an important role in the metabolism of various plants, animals, and of course our own human metabolism. Humans can’t digest oxalates and
Histadelia vs. Histapenia: Does the Pfeiffer protocol always make sense? Understanding Your Histamine Blood Test Results Histamine is most popularly known for its role in allergic and inflammatory processes, including immediate and delayed hypersensitivity immune reactions. It also serves as a neurotransmitter like serotonin and dopamine, and is therefore involved in alertness, arousal, learning, memory,
How Histamine Imbalance Could be Ruining Your Mood One of the many functions of histamine in the body is to act as a neurotransmitter, where it helps regulate important brain functions such as alertness, attention, learning, memory, stress response, sleep-wake cycles, and sexual function. When the body’s histamine levels go out of control, many behavioral
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
The female hormone estrogen may play a role in the development of histamine intolerance. This seems plausible since women consist of the majority who suffer from this. One explanation is that estrogen and histamine reinforce each other which means estrogen triggers histamine release. In turn, histamine causes increased estrogen production. But that is just among
