Do you have a history of autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, or just feel miserable? Do you want to feel better?

  

Do you suffer with the MTHFR gene expression?

 

 

  

I suffered from a decade of chronic illness. It started with severe headaches and chronic pain on a daily basis. By mid afternoon, I was exhausted. On top of that, I was plagued by chronic digestive issues that left me feeling sick, lethargic and just plain gross. This was what I suffered from before I started my journey of detox, which led me to feeling alive, healthier and more energetic than I had felt in over a decade. I suffer with MTHFR gene expression and many do as well but do not know they do.

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is both an enzyme and a gene; it is crucial to the body because it processes folate (folic acid) for our bodies to utilize it. Mutations in this gene result in decreased activity of the enzyme, which causes issues with the methylation in our body, leading to important body functions to become disrupted – which include the ability to eliminate toxins properly. Methylation is an important biochemical process that is essential for the proper function of nearly all of your body’s systems; it occurs billions of times each second and helps repair your DNA, controls homocysteine, recycles molecules your body needs for detoxification, helps keep inflammation in check and maintains your mood. To avoid serious conditions that are caused by the breakdown in methylation, the key is to maximize methylation (protect your methylation) by understanding what affects your methylation process such as toxic exposure, smoking, medications, poor diet, malabsorption and decreased stomach acid.

The main goal to help my missing MTHFR enzyme as I mentioned above is to optimize methylation, which refers to a series of approximately 100 reactions that are responsible for the production of T-cells (immune cells), glutathione (vital for immune function), energy production and for creating dopamine and serotonin.  Anyone with 1 or 2 copies of MTHFR, the enzyme that converts folic acid into methylfolate, like myself, tend to have lower immune function. Myself and anyone lacking the MTHFR enzyme can benefit from taking Q96M a good probiotic like QBiotics and B12 , they work together and are prime components for methylation reactions.

 

I found Q96M works the best. * EMPowerplus Q96-M is intended for those individuals who are not able to methylate and activate appropriately the B vitamins in their supplements or diet. In particular, EMPowerplus Q96-M should be used by those individuals that suffer with the MTHFR gene expression.

 

    

                                                                  

My lack of MTHFR has forced me to take precautions, while other people can detox easily and remove toxins, I cannot. A good place to start cleaning up your lifestyle is with your food. Eating more dark, leafy greens such as dandelion, mustard, collard, beet greens, spinach, kale, watercress, bok choy, escarole and Swiss chard, which are the most abundant sources of the nutrients our bodies need for optimal methylation. Also, looking for good sources of B vitamins from your food such as sunflower seeds, eggs, walnuts, almonds, whole grains and asparagus. Probiotic-rich foods are also a plus because they keep your gut healthy so you can properly absorb the vitamins your taking. I use Q Sciences products formulated for us with MTHFR. Q96M and the QBiotics.

 

 

 

  Start by reading labels and eating organic fruits and vegetables from the Dirty Dozen without pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals. You can also eat organic meats, poultry and eggs so that you are not ingesting growth hormones or antibiotics from the animals. I am a dedicated organic consumer – but I wasn’t always. It wasn’t until I learned what those pesticides, antibiotics and growth hormones were doing to my body. Now, I eat a 100% organic whole food diet filled with lean proteins, healthy fats and a wide variety of fresh veggies.  I avoid seafood that is high in heavy metals such as tuna and swordfish, I cannot eat anything out of a can or box because my body reacts to them – so I eat pure, clean, whole foods. Healthy fats such as nuts, seeds and avocados as well as veggies such as spinach, bok choy, Swiss chard, collard greens, sweet potatoes and kale and protein such as chia seeds, ground flax seeds, and organic poultry are a part of my daily eats. It’s tough, but it’s doable and let me tell you – I feel 100% better after removing the toxic junk that was in my life.

Detoxing and methylation are the links to better health . Trust me; there is hope. There is an answer. My answer was Q96M along with QBiotics and B12 Spray Im on my way to healing.

 

It has been scientifically noted that many people who struggle with the following conditions have a MTHFR Gene Mutation.  And while the mutation cannot be mended or corrected, there is hope and healing in making dietary and lifestyle changes, and getting nutrients into the body in such a way that they are fully absorbed and processed.Which can help the body to function more efficiently and eliminate many of the symptoms related to these conditions:

• ADHD
• ADD
• Addiction (chemical and/or food)
• Alzheimers
• Anxiety
• Arterial Sclerosis
• Autism/Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Autoimmune Conditions
• Bipolar Disorder
• Chemical Sensitivity
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Chronic Pain Syndrome
• Cluster Headaches
• Diabetes
• Depression
• Female Hormone Issues
• Fibromyalgia
• Heart Disease, Heart Attack
• High Blood Pressure
• Insomnia
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Infertility
• Migraine
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Parkinson Disease (or other tremor disorders)
• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
• Peripheral Neuropathy (numbness in hands and/or feet)
• Psychosis
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
• Skin Conditions (Psoriasis, Eczema, etc.)
• Strokes
• Testosterone Issues in Men
• Thyroid Disorders (Hypo, Hyper, Hashimotos, Grave

For many of you reading this, it may feel as though you have come upon the missing piece to the complicated puzzle that is your health.  We urge you to talk with your physician and request to be tested for the MTHFR mutation.  That said, it has been noted that people who do not test positive for the mutation, but have a history of autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, etc., often fare better when treated as if they do. Following an anti-inflammatory diet is helpful.  Yet the most important intervention is to supply the body with the nutrients it hasn’t been absorbing and/or utilizing efficiently. And that is where EMPowerplus™ Q96-M  (Q96-M) comes in.  This proprietary formula includes the methyl forms of Vitamin D12 and Folate (B9) so that even those with the MTHFR gene mutation can enjoy the benefits of EMPowerplus™ Q96 (Q96) which supports mood stability, mental clarity, and improved cognition, as well as enhancing overall brain health.
