Anyone know where I can ask for feedback on ...

[Guest guest]

I've posted a question a couple of places tonight and so far gotten zero

response. My genetic disorder involves a malfunctioning channel in the cell

membrane and I have added habanero peppers to my diet this past week. The

active ingredient in such peppers (capsaicin) artificially forces open some

other channel. This has had a big impact and I have done some googling (and

wrote a blog post about it: http://www.healthgazelle.com/blog/?p=87 ) and I am

trying to better understand how these two channels impact each other (the

channel activated by hot peppers and the defective channel involved in my

genetic disorder). I have no idea where I could ask a question like that and

get meaningful feedback. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance. Sorry for the off topic post.

You might have the luck to get some answers if you gave very specific

information rather than generalities. E. g. which channels, what disorder, what

ions do they let in.

I did give specifics when I asked elsewhere. I was not expecting to get answers

to this here, so was just hoping for a recommendation for where to ask. But

since you asked, I am looking for info on the following channels and how they

interrelate:

TRPV1 -- The transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1

(TrpV1), also known as the capsaicin receptor and the vanilloid receptor 1.

(Capsaicin is the active ingredient in this family of peppers.) It is involved

in the sensation of burning pain in the nerves. Calcium has some relationship

to this, I'm not clear what, and it can be activated by high acidity (something

my condition promotes).

CFTR -- Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator -- the channel that

is the root cause of the symptoms for my condition. It processes chloride.

CaCC -- Calcium Activated Chloride Channels. From what I gather so far, these

are apparently alternate routes of chloride processing in the cell (assuming I

am understanding what I have read so far). So I am basically wondering if

capsaicim, in the process of impacting the TRPV1 and apparently also impacting

calcium use in the body may be able to force the body to use this other chloride

pathway more. I am wondering if it is like a hack to get around the deficient

channel. My chronically bloated belly shrank dramatically in just a few days.

I wrote about my experiences with consuming habanero peppers and my thought

process on this in a bit more detail in the blog post mentioned:

Prob a geneticist--there's a lady at yale who specializes in the genetic issue

you're talking about. I hear she's pretty open-minded and progressive. The

cayenne is a big increaser of metabolism, blood flow, oxygenation of the cells.

It's in almost every one of Dr Schulze's botanical formulas as a way of driving

the herb action deep into the tissue. It will make almost any herb/supplement

more effective in the body. You can increase its action by doing alternating hot

and cold showers after taking the cayenne and herbs together. You can also ask

ingrid naiman--she's a pretty advanced herbalist/naturopath with a

newsletter/website. I like her stuff, and I think she'd possibly know somebody

if she doesn't know herself.

best wishes,

Fiona
