Undermethylation, Autism & Mitochondria
Undermethylation, Autism and Mitochondrial Dysfunction Autism is often discussed in terms of behavior or learning, but behind those challenges lies a hidden biological story-how the body produces and manages energy. Research on mitochondria in autism and methylation has revealed that many individuals on the spectrum share a pattern of low cellular energy, high oxidative stress, […]

William J. Walsh and the Walsh Research Institute
William J. Walsh and the Walsh Research Institute Dr. William J. Walsh’s path into biochemical psychiatry began far outside a conventional mental-health clinic. While working as a scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, he began studying biochemical patterns in violent offenders at Stateville Correctional Center. That work led to collaboration with nutritional psychiatry pioneer Dr. Carl […]

Histamine Intolerance vs High Histamine
Histamine Intolerance or High Histamine? DAO, Mast Cells and Undermethylation Histamine symptoms may come from food-derived histamine, impaired DAO activity, histamine intolerance, or a high whole-blood histamine pattern associated with undermethylation. Learn how to tell these pathways apart and choose the appropriate diet, testing and biochemical assessment. Histamine Intolerance • DAO • Mast Cells • […]

Low Zinc Copper Ratio: Causes, Anxiety, ADHD and Dementia
Low Zinc and Copper Imbalance: Causes, Anxiety, ADHD and Brain Effects Low zinc can affect far more than skin, hair or immunity. Zinc is required for neurotransmitter regulation, antioxidant defense, inflammatory control, gut integrity, hormone function, memory and the proteins that help regulate copper.
