Synopsis

The book's 21 chapters, 6 appendices and index reveal how hidden porphyria may affect some 20% of our species and may cause many allergy-like disorders and other chronic illnesses. Hidden porphyrics often have a lifetime of odd complaints including anxiety and reactions to foods and chemicals like fragrance, auto or diesel exhaust, and cigarette smoke. They also often have a history of poor tolerance for stress, caffeine, alcohol, medicinal drugs and even vitamins, and sun or light exposure. Food intolerances often include citrus fruits, tomatoes and spices. There may be addiction in the earliest phases.Porphyria's seven or eight separate maladies involve the inability to properly synthesize the iron-containing protein, heme. Heme does not just go into making the well-known protein hemoglobin. Heme is part of a set of enzymes that involve both detoxifying chemicals ingested or breathed in; and in metabolizing our own hormones. In addition to causing episodic deficiencies of heme, excess amounts of porphyrin compounds are created, which are then toxic to the body.Hidden porphyria recently is being linked to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, hypoglycemia, anxiety or panic states, Alzheimer's, MCS and EMFS. Many supplements, just like drugs, may not help; rather they excite certain heme proteins that then can cause a full-blown porphyria reaction.The books reveals how to prevent attacks of both porphyria and the other side of the coin MCS, EMFS and food sensitivities, with its breakthroughs in diet, supplements, and energy balancing. Liver, thyroid, adrenal, and gastrointestinal illness and solutions are also detailed. Appendices include many food groups including oxalates, salicylates, sulfur, sialic acid, histamine-forming foods, lectins, nightshades, gluten and other factors.
