Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 With all the talk about salicylates, you might be interested in, or even be able to explain, this. My wife had miscarried 4 times, always early on in the pregnancy. Before attempting again, she heard that another woman after miscarrying 10 times, succeeded in giving birth whilst taking half an aspirin tablet. My wife followed suit, taking aspirin all the way through, and we now have a healthy boy. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methylation tends to silence genes, doesn't it? If so, why would silencing a gene make you less likely to have food chemical sensitivities? Are their common genes that when fully expressed produce something that interferes with the biochemical pathways of food chemical detoxification?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I've been trying to get pregnant again... I might try the aspirin thing... I am still breast feeding my 20 month old and so that is more likely the problem. -- Re: Aspirin babies --- In , " roidelyon " <lee.rowley@...> wrote: > > With all the talk about salicylates, you might be interested in, or > even be able to explain, this.

A different problem of mine unassociated to food chemicals is I'm a genetic thrombophiliac - factor V Leiden. It affects between 5-20% of different caucasian populations and is actually thought to be a survival mechanism to prevent haemorrhage in childbirth. The downside is it makes miscarriages far more likely, due to clotting of the placenta. Fortunately, taking aspirin during pregnancy has not so far been found to affect the likelihood of one getting food chemical sensitivities - avoiding endocrine disrupters and ensuring adequate DNA methylation are better strategies.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 After two miscarriages, I went to a miscarriage specialist in London. I tested positive for two factors (thrombophilia was one of them) which cause blood clots in the placenta. During my next pregnancy, I had heparin and aspirin, and we went on to have a son who is now six . Unfortunately, my next 4 pregnancies did not fare so well. The aspirin therapy is only to prevent miscarriage due to clotting issues. It will not help one get pregnant, nor will it help sustain a pregnancy if there are other problems causing the miscarriages. cJ .. > > With all the talk about salicylates, you might be interested in, or > even be able to explain, this.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 It's something I need to look into further since there is also a history of strokes in my wife's family. She's been taking cod liver oil (with some vit e) recently so perhaps this will be a good long term strategy. > > > > With all the talk about salicylates, you might be interested in, or > > even be able to explain, this.
