Advanced Testing and Monitoring For my patients with known or suspected hemochromatosis, I recommend comprehensive testing that goes beyond basic iron studies, including the approach I detail in my article on assessing your total toxic burden: Oxidative Stress Markers: Lipid peroxidation markers (malondialdehyde, F2-isoprostanes) Antioxidant enzyme levels (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase) Total antioxidant capacity Genetic Testing: Complete HFE genotyping (C282Y, H63D, S65C variants) Antioxidant enzyme genetic variants Detoxification pathway genetic analysis Comprehensive Toxin Assessment: Given the connection between iron overload and increased susceptibility to other environmental toxins, I often recommend testing for mycotoxins, heavy metals, and environmental chemicals as discussed in my toxic load assessment protocols
Average GSH-VA Glutathione analysis
Why is HPLC testing performed
These treatments involve the slow infusion of whitening agents such as Glutathione and Vitamin C into the blood stream
This episode is for anyone interested in the science of memory and tools to maintain and improve your memory across the lifespan
Cells were washed in PBS, resuspended in Thiazole Orange (BD Retic-Count, BD Bioscience) containing 4 M Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen) for parasite RNA and DNA detection respectively ( 2 , 5 mM glucose, 32 mM HEPES pH7.4, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgSO4, 125 mM NaCl), resuspended in 0.3 M of intracellular calcium dye x-Rhod-1 AM (Invitrogen) and incubated in the dark at 37C for 30 min
