Those with MTHFR have often heard that methylfolate and B12 are recommended supplements for them but recent research suggests that NAC may also be beneficial.
Il problema MTHFR (almeno in Italia) viene attualmente considerato limitatamente a pochissime patologie. Totalmente ignorato dai più è l’aspetto legato alla (maggiore o minore) “incapacità” che può avere l’organismo a detossificarsi dai bioccumuli tossici come quelli indotti dai vaccini e da altri agenti interferenti. Esistono invece “medical practitioners” che adottano l’approccio conoscitivo a partire proprio da … Leggi tutto "MTHFR & Disturbi Neurologici Indotti dalle Vaccinazioni"
I found out three years ago that I have a compound gene mutation called MTHFR. In researching this gene I have found out that it has been the culprit for many of my physical health issues. I have included links below to some great resources that discuss this gene mutation and how best to support it. http://www.jillcarnahan.com/2013/05/12/mthfr-gene-mutation-whats-the-big-deal-about-methylation/ https://www.bulletproofexec.com/the-mthfr-gene-mutation-and-how-to-rewire-your-genetics/ http:/…
Attention Deficit Disorders: Do Genetics Play a Role? ADD and ADHD are some of the most common health issues in childhood, with ADHD affecting approximately 11% of children. The symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and/or inattention associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can affect life at home and at school with a significant impact on cognitive, academic, behavioral, emotional, and social functioning. Treatments for ADD and ADHD typically centers around stimulant medications like Ritalin and Adderall, which are associated with potentially serious side effects and don’t address the root cause of the disorders. In fact, there is growing evidence that ADD and ADHD may be associated with a genetic variation called MTHFR, which affects how folate and folic acid are metabolized in the body. Looking at the role of genetics in ADD/ADHD may shed light on promising new treatments for ADHD. What is MTHFR? You may not have heard about MTHFR yet but it is a major player in many aspects of physical and emotional health. MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and it is an enzyme that is involved in folate metabolism. Folate is a general term for a B vitamin (Vitamin B9) that comes in many forms including folic acid, which is the synthetic version commonly found in supplements and processed foods. Folic acid and folate are normally transformed by the body into Methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF), which is the bioactive form of the B vitamin that your body needs for a variety of normal functions. Unfortunately genetic variations in MTHFR are a big problem. Although the exact prevalence is not known, it is estimated that up to 40% of Caucasians have a mutation on one or more of the genes that normally produces the MTHFR enzyme, with varying frequencies in other populations. People who have an MTHFR variant are not able to properly process synthetic folic acid and they have a limited capacity to make MTHF. Why is Folate So Important? Activated folate, a.k.a. Methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) is an important part of something called the methylation cycle. This metabolic cycle is involved in neurotransmitter production, detoxification processes, and the regulation...
Genetics plays a role in one’s ability to detoxify, specifically, through methylation. Learn everything you need to know about genetics and detoxification.
If you have the MTHFR gene and histamine intolerance, you most likely have poor methylation, especially if you are deficient in B vitamins

MTHFR Gene Mutation Testing - Why You Might Need It! MTHFR gene mutation testing can show if your genes are causing your chronic fatigue syndrome.
DNA methylation refers to the process of adding a methyl group to one of the bases of your DNA. We’ll explore how this process effects gene expression and why experts believe it could be the key to preventing a variety of diseases. You’ll also learn how to adjust your diet to support your own DNA methylation cycle.

What's the Big Deal About Methylation?! Update of the Popular MTHFR Blog Post... Maybe you've have a family history of heart attack or stroke
Each of us has a unique genetic makeup, which makes you, well, you. Included in those differences may be certain defects, variations, or mutations. Not to worry, though — everyone has them! Among mutations, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, or the MTHFR gene mutation is common. A tremendous amount of research has su

Does it shed light on autoimmune disease? What are the pros and cons? How do you make sense of the raw data you receive?
When we are born, the deoxyribonucleic acid/DNA in our bodies contains the blueprints for who we are and instructions for who we will become. For example, it can tell our eyes to eventually turn from blue at birth to hazel later on, our length to grow from 20 inches to 70 and direct a multitude …
