Healthy Food

 
- MTHFR & Nutrition -  

My Journey with MTHFR has included: Hepatic cyst, Fatty liver disease / Fibrosis, Menstrual pain and PMS, Acid Reflux / Stomach pains, Headaches / Migraines, Asthma, Allergies, Skin infections / cysts, Gallstones, Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Depression/ Anxiety, Chronic Pain, Fatigue​

​

MTHFR causes a lack in certain nutrients - complicated further by our food being Enriched or Fortified with the wrong type of nutrient.  Simply adding the right ingredients to the body can help reduce symptoms that are often mis-diagnosed as Fibromyalgia or other diseases.​​

​

I think that many diseases and health issues are caused by foods that are "Enriched" and contain Cyanocobalamin or Folic Acid. Watch my video below to find out more.

MTHFR Supplements

​

​

DISCLAIMER:

​

I am NOT a Doctor.  Much of my information has come from my own experience, as well as google searches and youtube over the past 10 years.  I did take University BioChemistry, and I have cross-referenced with my materials, and Nutrition text books.  
​
The information below is what I have gathered to be true.
It is your responsibility to do your own research on any supplements that you take - especially if you are taking other medications or have adverse reactions to anything.
 
If you see anything that is incorrect- please let me know, so I can look into it.  
​

**A good resource is the A-Z Guide to Drug-Herb-Vitamin Interactions. ( Referred by a friend ) 

Note: Other than the Neumi Glutathione, I am not selling these products - I do distribute kits (at my cost) to help people diagnose if they need these supplements.
