Mindd International Forum speaker and Mitochondria and Cell Danger Response expert Dr Robert Naviaux has recently been recognised for the intense interest in his research publications. His work on mitochondrial health has now become a very important area in modern medicine, impacting health at the deepest level.
With chronic childhood illness on the rise, more investigative measures are taken by physicians and integrative medicine practitioners to assess how the microbiome plays a role in the health outcomes of children.
Microchimerism plays a potential role in pregnancy and beyond as it can continue to affect mothers long after they have given birth. This can be beneficial to the mother however in many cases it has the opposite effect.
Is it possible that there is a link between the health of Mitochondria and Alzheimer’s? Decades of evidence indicates that those who suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) have differing mitochondria than those who do not. The research indicates not only structural differences but also functional disparities.
The cell danger response relates to our ability to handle everyday stressors, viruses, chemicals and toxins. Chronic illness can be related to a dysfunctional cell danger response. It is happening within the cells every single moment of every single day.
There is no denying the role that lifestyle and dietary modifications have on ADHD patient outcomes. Paying attention to sleep, nutritional deficiencies, exercise, nutrition and the child’s classroom environment can have profound impacts on learning and attention deficit problems in children.
The impact of mitochondrial health on your general health has been in the limelight over the last decade. There is a good understanding of mitochondria’s role as the central powerhouses of human cells, but what are they actually responsible for and how does their health impact overall wellbeing?
The prevalence of conditions such as Asthma, Eczema and Allergic Rhinitis that make up the Allergic Triad, has increased dramatically in the past few decades. It is vital to detect the underlying causes and triggers for these conditions, as they can often be dietary, lifestyle or environmentally related.
Considering anecdotal evidence is vital to accurately assess childhood chronic illness. Consideration for the limitations of clinical trials is also important. Dr Mumper’s extensive clinical experience as an integrative doctor has provided her with a sound understanding of the specific causation and pathology of various chronic illnesses, including childhood illnesses.
Dr O’Hara calls MTHFR the mother gene because it interferes with folate metabolism. Folate is a B vitamin and we get it in green leafy vegetables and other food. It gets broken down in the body, so it’s really important for brain development and detoxification in general. These metabolites of folate are vital to decrease anxiety, tics, OCD and other childhood neurological symptoms. If you have a defect in the MTHFR gene, you are less able to metabolize or break down folate completely and you are more likely to have problems with detoxification, anxiety, tics, brain fog, and cognitive delays.
