After years
of frustration and disappointment with the lack of answers from medical
professionals, I took matters into my own hands. Through hours of research and
learning, I discovered the importance of understanding what is happening inside
of our bodies, specifically focusing today on the failing "MTHFR"
pathway.
This journey
of self-education led me to realize that our bodies are like little nuclear
power plants, with trillions of chemical reactions happening daily to sustain
life. When these pathways fail, it can have a domino effect on the other
pathways in the body.
It became
clear to me that simply addressing gut health with nutrition and supplements
wasn't getting to the root cause of the issue. In another blog post, I'll talk
about the importance of gut health and why it is important to keep supporting
it for overall well-being.
So what is
an MTHFR mutation? Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an enzyme
that breaks down the amino acid homocysteine. If the MTHFR gene that codes for
this enzyme mutates, it may contribute to a variety of health conditions
ranging from depression to some cancers.
Now we
understand this is not just a failed MTHFR pathway, but it is also a gene
mutation. We need to trace the root back to see why this gene failed. Genetic
mutations can be caused by environmental exposures, UV radiation, genetic
damages or changes, or errors during replication. Also, I have read if both
parents are having this issue then it could be passed down to the next
generation.
So now I
began to ponder another question, if the body can rebuild itself in seven
years, then why are we still dealing with a failing pathway? This will be a
conversation for another blog as I was able to discover the answer.
This
specific genetic mutation can cause a variety of major health issues, such as
hormone levels, neurotransmitter function, digestion, cardiovascular and
cholesterol levels and much more.
I strongly
believe that this mutation plays a significant role in constipation issues that
many children face.
Genes are
segments of DNA that provide instructions for the body to function. Knowing
this, it appears that the root goes as deep as it can possibly go, to the DNA!
I believe
our autistic children were severely damaged, along with other people in
society, who may not realize they too are also struggling with this same issue.
The MTHFR is
a major pathway for detoxification as it rids the body of toxins, waste, heavy
metals, microorganisms, excess fluids, free radicals and more.
The
professionals I spoke with recommended glutathione and the cofactors (vitamins)
that support this pathway and after speaking with a professional at a stem cell
clinic, if this pathway is not supported it will continue to cause further
brain damage.
Why not fix
the mutated gene? What would this look like? In my research, I explored three
possible aspects but unfortunately I can only discuss two in this blog post.
After
consulting with a clinic in the USA, it became apparent that gene therapy was
not yielding positive results for this condition, whereas stem cell therapy
showed success for some.
I personally
underwent stem cell therapy three times and observed positive outcomes with one
clinic. It's crucial to recognize that not all clinics provide the same level
of care. I will delve deeper into this topic in another blog post.
During my
stem cell treatments, I was unaware of the MTHFR gene mutation and therefore
did not receive specific stem cell therapy targeting this mutation.
Prior to
considering stem cell procedures, it's essential to gather relevant
information. For example, one critical aspect to consider is the necessity to
eliminate sugar consumption before and after the procedure as it may impair the
effectiveness of stem cell therapy.
I encourage
you to conduct your own research and explore the various options available to
you. The insights I share in my blogs are personal reflections, and I'm not
providing specific recommendations.
In my quest
to find solutions and answers, I have come to understand the importance of
addressing and repairing the failing MTHFR pathway to alleviate the multitude
of health issues it can cause. By shedding light on this complex issue, I hope
to empower others to take control of their health and well-being.
