David Brownstein, M.D., one of the foremost American practitioners of conventional as well as holistic medicine, has some urgent health information that could dramatically affect your health and well-being. Please take a moment to read his information below. Newsmax.com When Even DoctorsFeel Rotten This Could Be Why . . . Dear Friend, Jim was in trouble: The 54-year-old physician felt like he had aged 50 years during the past five. He was tired, his muscles ached, and he had no energy. Jim was a patient of our Newsmax medical editor, Dr. David Brownstein. A patient even Dr. Brownstein wasn't having much success treating. Until the day Dr. Brownstein checked Jim for a commonly overlooked genetic enzyme defect. One linked to cancer, heart disease, strokes, even autoimmune disorders. And as it turns out, Jim was positive for two alterations in this enzyme, known as MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase). People should have their levels checked at least once, with a simple blood or salivary test, Dr. Brownstein says, because . . . One in Five Americans HasThis Dangerous Problem You've probably never heard of MTHFR. I know I hadn't. But it's responsible for folic acid and homocysteine metabolism. You probably have heard about the importance of folic acid. It's part of the B-vitamin family and necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells. Too little folic acid can lead to anemia, heart disease, stroke, and various cancers, such as cervical, colorectal, esophagus, stomach, ovarian, and breast cancer. Even the U.S. government recognizes the importance of adequate folic acid intake. It now mandates the addition of this nutrient to many grain products, especially to prevent neural tube defects in newborns. And then there's homocysteine. This amino acid is produced in the body from another amino acid, methionine. But here's the kicker: Too Much HomocysteineLeads to Heart Disease Research has shown that, for every 10 percent increase in homocysteine, there is a corresponding rise in the development of heart disease. Plus, homocysteine may cause atherosclerosis, commonly known as hardening of the arteries. So if your homocysteine level is elevated, it's important to lower it — right away. That brings us back to the enzyme MTHFR, which helps your body activate folic acid and break down homocysteine. Now, the biochemistry gets complicated. But, Dr. Brownstein makes it his mission to simplify what you should do to find out if you could have this dangerous gene defect in the issue of Natural Way to Health entitled: Common Enzyme Problem Linked to Heart Disease, Strokes, and Cancer. And then, most importantly, what you can do to help your body treat the problem by taking the right types of supplements. But that's just the beginning . . .
