After Pilates class this morning I chatted with a gal who has so many odd symptoms - and nothing she is doing for them is working. Plantar fasciitis, anxiety, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, arthritis-type aches and pains. And those are only the ones she mentioned. Plus she was on Prozac.
So far her strategy has been to do lots of juice fasts and detox routines, which, of course, help. But with all those symptoms, it sounded like she could have the MTHFR mutation. So I suggested she contact my doc, read through the www.MTHFR.net website, purchase those marvelous Foot Wakers to exercise her feet, plus purchase a pair of MBT shoes.
MBT shoes immediately stop the pain of plantar fasciitis and even though they are stylish in a very funky sort of way, no one would think they're sexy. What's sexy about them is they make your feet so happy that you'll feel sexier than if you continued to go for the glamour and thus chose to live with that excruciating pain and discomfort.
And, of course, get tested for the mutation.
I wonder how many folks with anxiety disorder couldn't be readily cured with methylfolate and methyl B12. And then toss the psychotropic medications and be happy naturally.
What surprises me is that I haven't heard of a psychiatrist or counselor who first suggests testing for MTHFR mutation before prescribing meds. It would reduce the amount of pain, the cost of those drugs, and perhaps folks could really live happier ever after. I know people can skip the drugs and go straight to methylation, once they know why they have such odd body things going on.
