hi guys in this video my goal is to take

this very complex topic and make it as

simple as humanly possible okay so under

if you saw is floating around the

internet it’s this thing called MTHFR

it’s a defect in this gene

okay now genes are mini instructions or

like the blueprints to tell cells what

to do what to make and you have this

whole chain reaction in the cell you

have the blueprints you have a copy

machine you know literally a copying

machine in yourself you have a

translator you have little little things

that help check for errors then you have

the other machine over here that builds

the different body parts okay well a

defect in this specific MTHFR gene

caused the defect in the MTHFR enzyme

okay and the function of the enzyme

normally is to convert folic acid into

its active form of folic acid folic acid

is other than beet vitamin b9 okay folic

acid is the inactive version it’s

supposed to normally convert through

this enzyme to the active form called

methyl folate and has a whole series of

actions that occur after that so

basically this condition is a defect

that blocks full capacity of conversion

of the inactive to the active form of b

b9 that’s all it does that’s the

simplicity of it okay and right when I

say full conversion I’m saying it might

convert somewhat but it’s like 40 to 70

percent defective so you make a lot less

than you should so it doesn’t convert

and that leads to a whole series of

chain reactions that occur within the

cell and I’m not going to even give you

these these names because it’s not

important what you should know is that

having a defect in this gene will give

you a series of symptoms and if you have

these symptoms then you should go get

checked to make sure that you don’t have

this because believe that it’s quite

common but there’s a solution for it

number one it can affect your heart

coronary heart disease stroke high blood

pressure dimension okay

it also affects

the International anti-inflammatories

you end up with inflammation

fibromyalgia achy joints arthritic type

pain okay you also have the inability to

detoxify and your liver especially heavy

metals especially iron so if you consume

foods that have heavy metals it can be

very dangerous to your liver and your

body because you lost that function very

important especially living in this

environment you also have the inability

to make the folk epatha tea of

neurotransmitters okay I’m talking about

serotonin dopamine melatonin so that

affects your mood it affects your cause

anxiety always depression it can cause a

low dopamine which which gives you

addictions addictions to alcohol

addictions to drugs addictions to

cocaine fictions to smoking melatonin is

all about sleep

you can’t sleep that well you

potentially could even get cancer so

there’s all these things that happen

right and here you are and you’re trying

to fix all this stuff and you don’t

really know what’s going on it could be

one simple defect of this genetic little

gene thing okay now so you go get tests

tested let me tell you the remedy of

this okay the remedy is very simple you

need to avoid taking folic acid because

it can build up it’s not converting and

that would be in all the enriched foods

that you shouldn’t be eating anyway like

the grains so you got to just look down

the list and see what food tabs folic

acid you want to avoid that you do want

to consume the active form of vitamin b9

called methylfolate

okay methylfolate you want to take that

as a supplement you’ll start feeling

better and then you want to take another

chain reaction thing that occurs you

want to take the active form of b12 and

that’s called methylcobalamin guys will

take that as well you want to avoid

gluten you want to avoid all wheat of

course sugar as well

want to consume dark leafy green

vegetables chard some spinach kale you

want to do that big-time because you

need to actually have help to detoxify

because you’re not detoxifying on a

percent and you’re filling up with heavy

metals you want to really have organic

food grass-fed because you can detoxify

there’s a couple of supplements I would

get to help your liver detoxify and that

would be NAC you can find that

supplement that will help the liver

detoxify and go defy it glutathione

reduced it’s called you just find

something that sort of glutathione

reduce and take that and you’re going to

actually assist your liver and it in the

natural detoxification you start feeling

better okay I just want to create a

video on the simplicity of what this is

and what you need to do thanks for
