Food allergies (or sensitivities) occur because of three factors: nutritional, immune and inflammatory. Eating foods serves multiple purposes: to provide both macro and micronutrients for the functions of systems; support optimal function of the brain; provide fuel...

An excellent study on the comparison between pyrodoxine (PN) and the more absorbable pyridoxal phosphate (PLP). The latter resolved seizures as an injectable form and had a higher success rate than pyrodoxine in the oral form. Of the 94 patients, 57 patients had...

Pyrodoxine 5 phosphate (PLP) is one of a few essential forms and is the vitamin referred to as B6. Deficiency in B6 affects the metabolism of fatty acids which can cause a decrease in neurotransmitters and ultimately seizures. B6 is needed for amino acid metabolism...

In my ongoing research I recently came across an excellent presentation by Dr. Woeller on “The Role of Microglia Activation and Brain Inflammation in Autism”. Much of the information that Dr. Woeller shares substantiates the Seven R’s of Brain...

In my last post I briefly discussed cerebral folate deficiency. The latest research supports that an autoimmunity may explain the decreased folate transport to the central nervous system. Still when cerebral folate deficiency is identified a monitored dosing of...
