Why
the Suggested Nutritional Supplements
The evaluation of which
supplements and or diet nutritionals I recommend are based on DNA and the
percentage of the population’s variation in specific genes used to
metabolize nutrients.
I have listed below the
percentages of variation in these genes within the population.
Being able to also review
several Nutritional DNA Test results have confirmed the observation.
The first example below is
regarding vitamin B. There are for pathways for vitamin B to be metabolized.
Some people do not have all four pathways however. It is not uncommon to see
one pathway missing.
Looking at the vitamin B
pathway alone, it is no wonder many of us do not feel any different after we
take a vitamin B supplement, it is not going to work for us. It can't make
it through the metabolic pathway.
Getting vitamin B into the
body from within, by using foods that turn into vitamin B is the only option
for a high percentage.
The same holds true for the
last gene mentioned in the chart for insulin. 94% of the population have a
variation in that gene. It is now not a wonder why such a large percentage
of the population has a problem with diabetes.
There is a way around the
problem of variation in our genes if we eat the right foods that have the
right nutrients.
I will be posting a
balanced nutrient profile on this site very soon. I will be using the
percentages of the population with various gene variations and recommending
what specific nutrients one can use to bypass the probable gene variation.
To bypass or get around
having a variation in the genes that metabolize vitamin B you need to
introduce "Plant Based Nutrition."
An Organic Barley or an
organic Kamut will provide the nutrients and enzymes necessary for your body
to produce vitamin B6 and B12 in abundance. Notice I state "your body." I do
mean your body will take the nutrients and turn them into the B vitamins
necessary. This is the only way over 50% of the population can actually
metabolize B6 and B12. All barley is not the same. I have found one organic
barley that is pure and also gluten free. You can read more of it by

Gene Pathway |
Variation % of Gene in
Population |
Recommendations |
There are 4 genes that
regulate the metabolism of
B vitamins. Vital for heart health. |
1 - 54-58% variation
2 - 79% variation
3 - 97% variation
4 - 30-42% variation |
As you see, the population at large
is unlikely to be able to metabolize vitamin B. 3 of 4 genes have a
very high non-functioning condition in a high percentage of people.
|
| There are 2 genes that
regulate antioxidant activity for heart health. |
1 - 20 -50% variation
2 - 3% variation
|
A low enough percentage of the population has
variations in these genes to not warrant aggressive change. |
| There are 3 genes that regulate antioxidant activity
regarding detoxification |
1 - 50% variation
2 - 15% variation
3 - 59% variation |
If a person wants to detoxify their body or simply living on
planet earth, a high percentage of the population will not be able
to remove toxins from their body due to variations found in these 3
genes. Something will need to be added to assist the detoxification
process. Especially in phase II of the livers detoxification
process. |
| There is 1 gene that regulates heart health,
inflammation and bone health. |
1 - 68-82% variation |
It is vital with the high percentage of the population having a
variation of this gene that all people supplement and or include the
correct nutrients to override this gene variation. |
| There are 4 genes that regulate heart health
directly. |
1 - 26% variation
2 - 33% variation
3 - 81% variation
4 - 54% variation |
The percentages are low enough in 2 of the genes but higher then
comfortable in the other 2 genes. Include a diet or nutrients that
will satisfy and assist the gene variation is vital. |
| There is 1 gene that regulates heart health and
insulin sensitivity. |
1 - 36% variation |
Low enough percentage wise and can be addressed with other
recommendations. |
| There is 1 gene that regulates bone health and
insulin sensitivity. |
1 - 15-22% variation |
Low enough percentage wise and can be addressed with other
recommendations. |
| There is 1 gene that directly regulates bone health. |
1 - 10% variation |
Low enough percentage wise and can be addressed with other
recommendations. |
| There is 1 gene that regulates inflammation and bone
health. |
1 - 6-43% variation |
Low enough percentage wise and can be addressed with other
recommendations. |
| There is 1 gene that regulates insulin sensitivity. |
1 - 94% variation |
With this being only 1 gene and the percentage of variation
being 94%, it needs to be addressed by all. |
The information above is
what my recommendations are based on when I recommend nutritional
supplements or food nutrients.
Example: Knowing the high
percentage of the population can't metabolize vitamin B and knowing a high
percentage of vitamin B that can be purchased at vitamin stores do not even
have the vitamin B inside stated on the package, leads me to recommend
nutritional foods that are verified as to their content. This holds true for
the other supplements and nutritionals as well.
Putting the right nutrients in
the body that will make other body parts work is ideal. Being able to have
the body manufacture its own vitamins/minerals and amino acids as well as
enzymes is vital for longer term health.
