      Vitamin Deficiency Symptoms & Cures - Dan Purser MD

      CHAPTER ONE:

      How Vitamins Can Be Obtained Naturally

      Many patients ask me how vitamins can be increased naturally to overcome deficiencies. Although this process can be long and hard, I recommend taking the supplement route for the first three to six months. For example, patients with severe homozygous forms of MTHFR cannot get enough methylcoblamin or methylfolate in their diet. Therefore, in order to make up for their deficiencies, baseline support supplements are used. Below are ways to incorporate essential vitamins for these deficiencies:

      B COMPLEX VITAMINS

      B1 Thiamin

      IMMUNIDEX

      "A patient’s Immunidex™ score is one measurement to evaluate a person’s cell-mediated immune system performance. Specifically, it measures T-cell lymphocyte proliferation. Since immune function is a systemic measure of general health, a higher Immunidex™ score is generally desired since it means a person can respond efficiently not only to exogenous threats such as pathogens or allergens, but also to endogenous threats like tumors. The immune system, comprised of both cell-mediated (Th1) and humoral (Th2) components, when balanced and performing optimally, affords us critical protection and promotes health and wellness.

      Micronutrient deficiencies will undermine a person’s immune function, and thus lower the Immunidex™. Since the highly complex immune system is dependent on the intracellular availability of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, correcting specific micronutrient deficiencies typically raises the Immunidex™ and contributes to tangible clinical benefits, such as reduced infections and may assist in achieving Th1/Th2 balance."

      SPECTROX

      The same technology also provides a total antioxidant function test (Spectrox™) which assesses the ability of cells to resist damage caused by free radicals and other forms of oxidative stress. Due to the considerable number of cellular antioxidants with extensive interactions, redundancies, repair and recharging capabilities, measuring total function is the most accurate and clinically useful way to assess your patients’ capacity to resist oxidative damage.

      GLUCOSE-INSULIN INTERATION

      A stimulation of lymphocyte growth by insulin may indicate a functional deficiency of insulin in vivo, or a metabolic defect in glucose utilization. At suboptimal glucose concentrations, supplementation of lymphocyte cultures with insulin exerted a sparing effect. This means that insulin addition makes uptake or utilization of glucose and amino acids more efficient, producing more cellular energy, and thus, a greater growth response. At optimal concentrations of glucose, insulin does not exert a sparing effect in healthy persons.

      FRUCTOSE SENSITIVITY

      Humans have a limited ability to metabolize fructose (fruit sugar). Fructose is metabolized differently from other sugars. A fructose load leads to accumulation of fructose-1-phosphate in cells which may partially deplete intracellular ATP levels in susceptible individuals. Decreased cellular ATP causes disturbances in protein, DNA & RNA synthesis, interference with cyclic AMP formation, and reduced ammonia detoxification. Elevations of lactate, uric acid, and triglycerides may result with implications for gout and cardiovascular disease. Several forms of hereditary fructose intolerance have been described.
