Let’s explore “IL23R”

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

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

Sample handling and test methods can change a cytokine result. Compare it with the exact range from your lab and ask why the test was ordered.

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

Explore the possible links between homocysteine, immune signaling, and pain.

Separate questions about toxin exposure from questions about genetics and antioxidant pathways.
