Signs Your Child Has the MTHFR Mutation

Lorraine Driscoll - Building Better Brains is dedicated to helping children reach their full potential by addressing the root cause of learning and behaviour difficulties so that kids can move past the limitations of IEPs, medication and endless tutoring and instead using a drug-free, multi-therapy approach that optimally nourishes the brain and strengthens weak connections in the brain.

The most important thing is to eliminate processed grains! Not just a gluten free diet, but a processed-grain-free diet. Try it and see how much better you feel. Also take B12 daily in the form of methylcobalamin.

[@booknerdmomma0950]

I just found out I have this gene mutation. Fairly certain my kids do to. My Dr told me to get Thorne 5-MTHRF 1mg methlyfolate. I'm praying it helps

[@happyfrietiez]

Taking a folic acid supplement instead of a methylated version was the worst thing I've ever done to my health - it was 4mg prescription folic acid to correct a deficiency and it fucked me hard.

[@patriciagriffin1505]

Folic acids d doesn’t help. People need folate methylated

[@cherylmockotr]

That's what I had been taught 10 years ago, but now I just found out the CDC is claiming MTHFR doesn't have any effect and people with the mutations can still process folic acid just fine. Now holistic doctors are not testing for MTHFR, and are not educating their patients about it, just quietly prescribing methylated vitamins without telling them why. I'd bet the AMA is prohibiting it, just like they muzzled doctors from talking about the covid "vaccine" injections.

[@susiedyck4914]

Vax injuries are a lot higher too to those that have the MTHFR gene.

[@mikemurray9726]

This is correct. I see someone read the South Africa long covid study.

Thank you for saying that. I had severe reactions to my vaccinations as a child. Only finding out about MTHFR in my late 30s.

[@Batya-Grace]

At age 44, I am someone who grew up with a learning disability and, I have clinical depression and clinical OCD. I should probably get tested for this mutation. I have severe intestinal problems. I eat gluten free in part but, not 100%.

[@markmoore9217]

Don't want to be unkind, but eating gluten free (GF) in part is worthless. You need to be totally GF, or your body won't stop making the gluten antibodies. I encourage you to take this next step. Many of us eat totally GF. Wishing you strong health in the future.

[@zsklogan1647]

My son has the double MTHFR mutation, ASD, IDD, and every symptom or issue in this video a family member has . I was prescribed folic acid most of my pregnancy plus eating many foods with folic acid and i learned this 20 years! After that and Into his difficult life, its not a good life! Especially with teachers and family treating me and him badly eventnough he was disabled and in special education classes. My son at age 20 was prescribed folate but this made him worse ! Because i found out he was deficient in natural B12 in 2022, and you never give folic acid or folate alone to a deficiency in B12, now he is on a liquid B12 and doing much better , he can't absorb pills because all those cells are gone in his gut, but we still dealing with food issues. This video made me feel better because i know im not alone, i lost my brother to spina bifida and I learned why when i learned about MTHFR.

I have Hashimoto’s, anxiety, moodiness, depression, early menopause, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. What the hell! All I needed to do is take a supplement and eat more vegetables. They should test newborn’s for this. I start taking methylfolate on Monday after talking to my doctor. Very important to talk to your doctor first.

[@alexweiss388]

Looking back to my childhood, I can see a lot of red flags as an adult. Didn't have epilepsy or any learning disability that I am aware of. I did however have a lot of anxiety, the occasional panic attacks. Air hunger, etc etc.. I've always been a poor sleeper. My Mom used to tell me that as a baby, I rarely ever took naps. I've struggled with insomnia on and off for years. As a child, I also had chronic sinus infections and two sinus surgeries by the age of 8. Allergies, food intolerances, and at one point, even displaying asthmatic symptoms, but somehow I overcame that.

[@andreagarzia2181]

how are u nowadays? wich mutation have u got?

[@alexweiss388]

@@andreagarzia2181 For the most part, pretty good. It all depends on how faithful I am to my regime. If I slip back into old habits, a lot of these problems/symptoms return. It's a good warning for me to stay grounded and make healthy choices. As for what mutation? MTHFR as far as I know.

[@patriciagriffin1505]

Can anyone imagine all of these symptoms combined with extreme physical and sexual abuse…

[@Paul-ei8nq]

Yes, and being ultimately told by everyone that it did not happen and it that is my fault while they put me up as savior as they do everything possible to pull me under; treated like it is karma punishment even though I have no past lives because I am from the silent field of light where time does not exist or the sea of souls as some call it...I will not be returning to the Earth in physical form there are better ways perhaps of helping people besides being one of them. For now I need to stay far away from all these fools and get me a methylated b- complex. The greatest revenge is to be unlike the enemy 💚

[@michaelpond813]

I grew up with this before it could be diagnosed and it affect cognitive development as a child and adults. The methylated b complex is great also take. L carnitine. D3. And co q 10. Also a good veggie diet for added heath us exercise. It really helps.

[@alexweiss388]

I've had the pins and needles on and off for years. Muscle twitching as well. Supplementing with a good methyl-B complex is a good start. Do you have high homocysteine levels? If so, lowering them with B vitamins can reduce and alleviate that.

I'm 55 and just recently found out l have this mutation and have been really struggling with chron8c fatigue, moodiness, anxiety, depression and overwhelm ever since l was pregnant with my daughter who will be 12 soon! She has many of these symptoms as did l as a kid. I've been supplementing for 2 months now but don't think l feel any different but went up to the full dose 2 days ago, so fingers crossed! Why can't we just get those giant currupt multibillion dollar corporations to stop spraying our grains and adding to other foods. It's amazing how many corrupt corporations are allowed to continue practices that have been proven to cause health issues. Must have something to do with the public-private partner ships with the government's that are supposed to be working FOR us!!

Do you know if this could cause swelling when using deodorants and cleaning supplies. I will literally gain weight and my arm will swell if I use deodorant. So now I only use it for special occasions. If I touch cleaner my hand will swell. Even if I wear jewelry my body will start to swell and feel irritated (real or fake)

In this case, it's a lobby by the food additive industry since they don't want people to stop eating their products that have synthetic folic acid ingredients. BTW, I am also homozygous and learned the pathways 12 years ago before all this censorship got started. Oh, and I was also trained in biochemistry and was a bench scientist in the pharmaceutical industry, so I know what I'm talking about and know that you do not.
