GCMAF, VDRS, viruses, bacteria, nagalase, gut flora etc
Re: GCMAF, VDRS, viruses, bacteria, nagalase, gut flora etc
Thank you for the link… About two years ago I did a genetic test through a company called 23 and me and it showed that I had six polymorphisms on the VDR genes, meaning that I cannot utilize vitamin D3 properly… I also had genetic damage to COMT genetic strands, which causes fast break down up dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine… According to some of the research using this vitamin D3 binding protein, it can actually correct the genetic damage… I have taken massive amounts of vitamin D3 and I never seem to increase my blood levels that remain around 25… Anything under 60 is not good… I spend lots of time in the sun, and it never increases. I am very interested in the substance, but it looks like they want to suppress it because it works…

I have heard of the company, 23 and me, in the area of genetic testing for the MTHFR gene and the enzyme involved with vitamin B12 function. I wonder if the testing covers a range of standard areas, or if one must request specific areas; and where the test results are interpreted – by 23 and me, by a specialist, by GP.Merlyn wrote:Thank you for the link… About two years ago I did a genetic test through a company called 23 and me and it showed that I had six polymorphisms on the VDR genes, meaning that I cannot utilize vitamin D3 properly… I also had genetic damage to COMT genetic strands, which causes fast break down up dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine… According to some of the research using this vitamin D3 binding protein, it can actually correct the genetic damage… I have taken massive amounts of vitamin D3 and I never seem to increase my blood levels that remain around 25… Anything under 60 is not good… I spend lots of time in the sun, and it never increases.

I believe that the government of Canada has banned 23 and me from sending results to Canada because they are afraid of insurance companies getting a hold of sensitive information/risk analysis, etc. I did this test at least four years ago and yes, it does test for the MTHFR genetics, although you had to run the results through something called the geneticgenie.com and I cannot find that service any longer. I do not carry that mutation so I can convert folic acid… This company was started by one of the "Google" wives and she turned around and sold all this information to one of the big Pharma companies after she's had said she would never do that…
However, I'm happy with them as they seem to keep testing for things and sending the reports. I have been tested for 122 disease risk genetics and they tell me that I am likely to be blonde (true), likely to be blue-eyed (have green eyes) and I'm not likely to be lactose intolerant. Recently, they sent me this report saying I do not carry the common genetics for celiac.

Actually, it was the FDA who banned 23andme from sending out reports that related to the client's health.
The company reaction was to open operations in Canada and England (and they could be very close to breaching (or exploiting) privacy law in these countries).
A report in The Verge 8 months back had an interesting view on the accuracy of such tests:
"A month later, The New York Times reporter Kira Peikoff wrote about her experience with genetic analyses from three companies, including 23andMe. Her results varied widely between the companies, emphasizing that the personal genome revolution wasn't ready for prime time."
Personally, I would also worry about the family link between 23andme and Google.

Once again, I don't know what the real story is… I do know that in the United States, I would not want this information to be hacked into, because I believe that they would consider genetics as potential pre-existing conditions… As for the accuracy, I do know that I did a genetic swab with a Canadian company called Gene Track and they did identify that I was a carrier of the variant hemochromatosis. This company, 23 and me also identified the variant of hemochromatosis, carrier status. I must've signed the papers saying they were allowed to continue research on my genetics, because I now have 53 conditions tested, and the only variant is for hemochromatosis. I did not go into it expecting total accuracy, but just an overview, because when I read that 40% of people cannot convert folic into methyl folate, I wanted to know if I was one of those because I have low glutathione… I am pleased as punch to know that I do not have the typical genetics for celiac disease considering that they tell me I am 75% Irish extract… They break down your genetic ancestry… Considering that I am Irish mostly, and the Irish of the highest rate of celiac, almost the highest rate of MS (I believe Scotland exceeds even the Irish), and hemochromatosis seems to be a reaction, and overcorrection genetically for celiac disease because celiac's cannot absorb iron from the Gut, whereas people with hemochromatosis absorb all of it and become toxic from the heavy metal iron…

Just as an addendum, I do not agree that genetics are set in stone, so to speak, I am more in line with Bruce Lipton and his theories on epigenetic/environmental interactions. But, I do believe that 23 and me can accurately identify variants, whether they can predict how these variants will interact in any given individual, I question. This genetic genie supposedly was able to predict how the polymorphisms on the SNP's would interact and I don't believe we are at that point… Are they telling us what they know?

I also know that if this is a possibility, I want to be able to access GcMAF…

"macrophages release nitric oxide which has powerful anti-tumoural and anti-microbial effects and also lowers blood pressure because it causes vaso-dilation"
I wonder if the MS/excess nitric oxide has anything to do with the low incidence of cancer in pwMS... and whether the anti-microbial properties of NO cause low levels of gut bacteria, which could result in, say, low biotin production?

Item #2 on the list is grape seed extract. However, grape seed extract has been found to increase interferon-gamma which is known to make MS worse.
