Folic acid is water soluble but it needs to be wrapped in fat to get into the cells. Methyl-tetra-hydra-folate is the best form for this function. Neurobiologics lotion is the product Dr Stewart recommends. I use the products in the Charles Poliquin product range also contain this more easily absorbed form of folate (MTHF).
The main reasons why we need to supplement is because the world is more toxic than ever before and many of us have difficulty with converting water soluble to fat soluble because of a lack of the gene for MTHF-Reductase enzyme. Folic acid receptor anti-body is also present in around 40% of children in America who weren’t breast-fed for more than a year.
50% of a pediatricians income comes from vaccines.
1 in 88 children are born with autism Autism that occurs before 2 years will be non-verbal or verbal if interruption occurs after 2 years. 99.9% of autistic kids have methylation deficiency.
Methylation can help immune function, decrease allergies and inflammation.
T-cells are part of the immune response to viral, bacterial or other invaders. B-cells are high when T-cells are low. High B-cell counts are associated with allergies to foods and environmental allergies. When you begin methylation you can wake the immune system up and have a healing crisis as the body takes on some lingering infections with its new army of T-cells.
(I think I have been going through this healing crisis because my skin is clearer and I’m recovering better from training but I have still had seasonal allergy symptoms. I hope that by next spring My B-Cells will have chilled out enough to stop sneezing at every flower I pass!)
In summary improved methylation and neurotransmitter function can help with:
1. Mitochondrial improvement- More energy endurance and muscle tone in kids.
2. Growth factors – needed to deliver fats and proteins. Sugar craving increases because we don’t have these growth factors.
3. Immune system – T-cells go up and B-cells go down.
4. Mood improvement
Inflammation
You need to start by controlling inflammation. Virus’ cause a cytokine storm (inflammatory) that’s what makes our muscles and joints sore when we get the flu.
PRP spray – can help seal the bowel and control inflammatory markers etc.
Vit D – helps control inflammation as does cortisol and pregnenalone pathway. Vitamin D is very important for neural development.
Symptoms of mitochondrial dysfunction
Sensitive to oxidative stress and inflammation.
General fatigue, muscle and nervous system weakness are the most common symptoms in adults.
There are around 100 mitochondria in muscle cells and about 3-5 mitochondria in neurons. Poor endurance and fibromyalgia are also common with poor ATP production.
Low level immune activity will take away from performance energy. Low muscle tone is a common sign of poor mitochondria function in kids.
What to test for if you have any of the above:
Total T-cell count – will normally be low.
CD4 to CD8 – helper to supressor Tcell ratio.
Homeocystene – when below 7 bad, below 5 very dangerous.
Sensory integration tests – If eyes, ears and proprioception aren’t working together the body will be stressed.
Neuro-immune infection control – l-lysine, PRP, Neuro-immune stabiliser lotion.
