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.
The impact of migraines on day-to-day functioning is substantial, hence the need for effective treatment and understanding of how to identify triggers. Dr Mumper will review some of the less common triggers to which you or your children may be exposed and discuss effective treatments.
In this informative introduction with questions and answers, Dr Liz Mumper shares more about the themes and masterclass topics that she and her colleagues, Drs Nancy O’Hara and Robert Naviaux will be presenting. Dr Mumper’s insights demonstrate how the Mindd International Forum will impact your clinical practice.
Without healing, multicellular life on Earth would not exist. Without healing, one injury predisposes to another, leading to disability, chronic disease, accelerated aging, and death. Unblocking therapies directed at stimulating the completion of the healing cycle by regulating signalling hold promise as a new approach to treatment.
The Missing Microbiome is a crucial factor in Dr Nancy O’Hara‘s clinic, where children with all types of chronic illnesses are treated. These include children with autism who have behaviors that are labelled autism, however, they are really about pain, discomfort, and inflammation. Lack of normal metabolism is what may be going on in their bodies. When they are treated, then the behaviors resolve.
Understanding the Healing Cycle and the Cell Danger Response are key themes at the Mindd International Forum 2019. Dr Robert Naviaux’s research and clinical experience have led to breakthroughs in understanding how healing occurs.
