Folate Receptor Antibodies: A Hidden Link to Mental Disorders

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
Folate, or vitamin B9, plays a vital role in the functioning of the body. It is essential for the synthesis of DNA and RNA, regulates methylation, and supports normal cell growth and development. A deficiency of folate in the brain can lead to serious consequences, including cognitive and neurological disorders. Upon consumption, folates are absorbed in the intestine and transported to various organs via the folate receptor alpha (FRα). Under normal conditions, the folate level in cerebr...

The Surprising Connection: Nutrition, Epigenetics, and Your Lifelong Health, Part 1

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
In recent years, research in genetics and epigenetics has garnered increasing attention, opening new horizons for understanding health and chronic diseases. Genetics studies hereditary traits and variations in DNA structure, while epigenetics examines changes in gene activity that do not alter the DNA sequence itself. One of the key aspects of epigenetics is that these changes can be reversible. This opens up new opportunities for developing treatments for diseases where changes in gene exp...

Over-Methylation vs. Under-Methylation: What You Need to Know for Better Health

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
Methylation is a crucial biochemical process occurring in all cells of the body. It involves adding a methyl group (CH₃) to molecules such as DNA, proteins, and lipids, significantly influencing their functions and activities. Methylation regulates various physiological mechanisms, including gene expression, detoxification, mood regulation, energy production, immune system function, and cellular maintenance. Particularly important is the role of methylation in the liver, where it helps neut...

Detox Reactions: Understanding Causes, Symptoms, and the Most Effective Binders

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
What is a Detox Reaction? A detox reaction refers to the body's various responses to the elimination of toxins, pathogens, and other harmful substances. These reactions can manifest as worsened symptoms, exacerbation of existing conditions, or a general sense of weakness. It is important to understand that these reactions are a normal part of the detoxification process, whether it involves the removal of heavy metals, endotoxins, mycotoxins, or the die-off of pathogens. Although these re...

Creating a Safe Home Environment for Better Health

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
In the first part, we discussed the issue of pathogenic biofilms forming on moisture-exposed surfaces in the home: Biofilms in the Home and Their Impact on Human Health. Now we will explore what can be done to reduce this impact on our health, as regular cleaning is only a part of the necessary measures. In modern homes and apartments, despite visible cleanliness, various microbes, fungi, and bacteria can accumulate, many of which pose serious health risks. Sources of microbial contamina...

Biofilms in the Home and Their Impact on Human Health

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
We have talked a lot about mold and the importance of preventing its spread in the home. Mold is indeed one of the most serious threats to our health, but the issues do not end there. Recent research indicates that the problem extends beyond just mold to a broader issue—homes exposed to water damage. You might say, "But isn’t that how mold problems arise?" And that’s true. However, aside from mold, there are other threats that often go unnoticed. Moreover, if you think the problems are l...

EDS, MCAS, And POTS: Unveiling The Hidden Connections

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
In medical education, emphasis is placed on the ability to think about the most likely causes of illnesses, referred to as "horses," rather than rare cases, or "zebras." This helps to diagnose common problems more quickly, but often leads to the overlooking of rare conditions. Therefore, the symbol of rare diseases, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, is a zebra — to remind doctors of the importance of considering unusual cases. Now, let's talk about this and other "zebras." MCAS, EDS, and P...
