Pyroluria/Pyrroles disorder is a genetic and biochemical imbalance affecting the haemoglobin pathway.
This biochemical imbalance results in higher than normal excretion of the essential nutrients zinc and vitamin B6.
The importance of Zinc and Vitamin B6 in Pyroluria/Pyrroles
Zinc and vitamin B6 play crucial roles in the normal production of neurotransmitters. These regulate:
- Mood
- Sleep
- Cognition
- Emotional control
Behaviour and mood linked to nutrient deficiencies
When such high excretion levels are experienced, nutritional deficiencies follow, and a variety of symptoms may result:
- Poor stress control and emotional disorders
- Mood swings and anxiety
- Lack of early morning appetite
- Fatigue
- Poor memory and concentration levels
At the MINDD Forum 2017, Dr Frank Golik, a nutritional and environmental family doctor will share insights with practitioner attendees into the issues with Pyroluria/Pyrroles, and how to understand the common biochemical and environmental factors involved in Autism.
Dr Golik will discuss…
- Savant 4-year-old case
- Dramatic features of Autism Spectrum
- Theories for the aetiology of Autism
- Issues with Pyroluria/Pyrroles Disorder
- Foundational principles of management and common pitfalls
Practitioners who attend Dr Golik’s presentation will:
- Reinforce the connection between the Gut-Immune-Brain paradigm and the importance of food and nutrition
- Learn to quickly identify distinctive behaviours in Pyroluria/Pyrroles, Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorders
- Understand the common biochemical and environmental factors involved in Autism
- Learn essential management strategies of Autism treatment
- Understand the diversity issues in Autism
