MTHFR Support Announcements Floxies Oxalates Mushrooms Could Floxies Be Dealing with an Impaired Glycine Cleavage System? I was made aware of oxalates a few years back. Susan Owens from http://lowoxalate.info/ contacted me after she had heard I was wanting to reach out to her and learn a little [...]
MTHFR Support Highlights Nitric Oxide Synthase Aids In Helping You Make NOS in Your Sleep What is a Cytokine Storm? NOS Gene Nitric oxide synthase 3 [endothelial] (NOS3 aka eNOS, Constitutive NOS) There are three types of NOS; NOS1 (Nitric oxide synthase 1, neuronal), NOS2 (Nitric oxide [...]
What Does Your Skin Microbiome Look Like? We are using enormous amounts of hand sanitizers that are destroying our skin microbiome. Why is our skin microbiome important? It is an ecosystem of bacteria that works to guard you against pathogens that can not only affect your skin but your overall health. When [...]
COMT Catecholamine MethylTransferase COMT V158M/H62H is responsible for breaking down catecholamines. It plays a huge role in fight or flight. When someone is wild type meaning -/- they usually metabolize their catecholamines too fast when epigenetically expressing. This in turn can cause major depressive events. When someone is heterozygous, +/- for COMT V158M/H62H, [...]
The other day I watched a true story on Netflix about a young lady who worked at the New York Post and all of a sudden started having severe mental disturbances and seizures. She was misdiagnosed with several psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia. A doctor discovered that she had an autoimmune condition that impacted her NMDA [...]
Sulfation and oxalate share a balance and many things come into play. I will list what I have learned so far. I like listing the vitamins. B1, B2 and B6 alone when not working in the body will cause a person to make endogenous oxalate and then impair sulfation and other nutrients and how they [...]
The endocannabinoid system plays a crucial part in the pathophysiology of autism. Major protective brain mechanisms are interrupted and neuroinflammation ensues. Organophosphates are potent inhibitors of crucial brain enzymes. The systemic consequences of defective microglial signaling, nagalase surges, and GcMAF metabolism are tightly interconnected into the basic idea that autism is an environmentally triggered neuroinflammatory [...]
Videos of Sterling's talk at Autism One are now available right here! She spoke on the topic of the importance of looking at genetics when treating autism, and specifically about the role of the glyoxylate metabolic process/glycine cleavage system. The videos are available below. Part 1 Part 2 [...]
Introducing the new iron uptake section on Sterling’s App Iron uptake is a set of chemical reactions that maintain homeostasis of iron at both the systemic and cellular level. Some of us are genetically compromised. Many of us with leaky gut will have either low ferritin or high ferritin and genetics can make it a [...]
I was made aware of oxalates a few years back. Susan Owens from http://lowoxalate.info/ contacted me after she had heard I was wanting to reach out to her and learn a little more about oxalic acid and how it impairs sulfation. At first it was as if she was speaking Chinese to me. If this [...]
