Let’s explore “Gout, urate crystals, and cytokines”

Remember all the talk about cytokine storms a few years back? 🌪️ These intense inflammatory responses are often triggered by overstimulated white blood cells—and low glutathione levels may be the reason why. If you’re dealing with lingering

MTHFR: THE TERRIBLE - but what is the problem I see with MTHFR SNPs? Inflammation caused by homocysteine! If you have high homocysteine, you get high inflammatory cytokine release. The only way to balance it out is reduced glutathione

High homocysteine levels can lead to inflammation, joint and muscle pain, and even shifting pain throughout the body. It’s also linked to birth defects and chronic kidney failure, and can raise blood pressure. Six genetic SNPs (like MTR, MT

Ever wondered how Homocysteine, MTHFR, and Glutathione are connected? Homocysteine is a highly inflammatory substance that triggers cytokine release in the body, fueling inflammation. It’s part of the methionine cycle, which links directly

High Homocysteine Levels and Inflammation: What You Need to Know High homocysteine levels are a common issue, often linked to genetics. There are seven gene variants (like MTHFR, CBS, and others) that can make it tough to bring those level

High homocysteine levels are a common issue, often linked to genetics. There are seven gene variants (like MTHFR, CBS, and others) that can make it tough to bring those levels down. If you're dealing with this, the key is to look at your IL

In case you missed it, I wanted to give a quick recap of the supplements I recommended in my Facebook Live this last Sunday. If you’re worried about MEMORY ISSUES or even the potential of the dreaded D-WORD, dementia, there’s so much you ca

In October of 2019 I was asked to prepare a talk and SLIDE SHOW FOR THE AMERICA ACADEMY OF ANTI-AGING MEDICINE for June of 2020 in Orlando; I finally gave that talk last month in May 2021 — it was to focus on the genetics of dementia and th

A true functional glutathione would help prevent the cytokine cascade that leads to the cytokine storm with the invisible scourge. It would also help ameliorate the inflammatory response to the displaced heme iron we now know is being found

Ask your clinician to define genes/analytes, specimen, assay, repeatability, and how results change management.

Meet the immune signals IL-8 and MCP-1 and the research question linking them to homocysteine.
