Re: MTHFR Gene Mutation/Margaret

[Guest guest]

Dear Joanne,

I do hope that your father can find some help with his symptoms.  It is very

difficult sometimes to get those who we love to change.  I have four children.

 I give my older three the information and let them choose what to do with it.

 They know about the diet and coconut oil, supplements, etc.  They can choose

how much of that they are willing to implement.  They do have their own will and

I can't make all their decisions for them, nor do I want to.  I want them to

think for themselves.  If they ask my opinion or advice I will give them the

best answer I know of.  I pray for them every day and I know that God is

working.  I have to stand back and let Him do His job.  I often have a difficult

time doing this as I have to be patient and that is not one of my strong traits.

 I want everything that I want for them NOW!! LOL  

Thank you for being patient with me and entertaining my ideas.  

God bless you!!

Love,

Margaret

Hi Margaret,

Here is an article by Dr Wallace who was author of the article on ketosis for

mitochondria diseases.

http://www.genethik.de/mitochondrial.htm

Here is info on ketosis helping children with mitochondrial defects. Those

children were not put on fasting first. I think in general, doctors are getting

away from fasting states when beginning ketosis.

It may not be easy to stay away from all toxins, heavy metals, and all foods

that can damage the DNA in our mitochondria. There is some mention of

antioxidants as helping, and the basic supplements we take can be of benefit,

but a not sure about other supplements.

Hope this helps some.
