Pyrroles, Copper, Zinc, & Histamine – THE REPEAT OFFENDERS: “For several years I was perplexed by the repeated presence of certain biochemical imbalances in completely different mental disorders. For example, copper overload is present in most cases of hyperactivity, learning disability, post-partum depression, autism, and paranoid schizophrenia. In another example, undermethylation is often present in antisocial personality disorder, clinical depression, anorexia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and schizoaffective disorder. The primary repeat offenders are copper overload, B-6 deficiency, zinc deficiency, methyl/folate Imbalances, pyrrole disorder, and amino acid imbalances. Eventually I realized these factors had something in common and a direct role in the synthesis or functioning of a major neurotransmitter.” – William J. Walsh, PhD, FACN, founder and president of the non-profit Walsh Research Institute.
Requires a urine specimen and blood draw.
