Why the Methylation Train Needs to Run on Time

Almost every mental disorder and neurodegenerative disease from depression to Alzheimer’s,
33
from ADHD to autism,
34
from Parkinson’s
35
to bipolar disease

can be improved by fixing problems with methylation and sulfation trains. It is one of the most exciting areas of research in medicine today.

 

Fixing these biochemical trains also prevents heart disease, osteoporosis, strokes, cancer, Down syndrome, spina bifida, and more.

Methylation is the center of our biochemistry and brain function because it:

Keeps Our DNA Working

Protects our DNA: it repairs damaged DNA.

Switches DNA on and off at the right time to keep us healthy.

Helps Neurotransmitters Work

It is necessary for the production and removal of neurotransmitters including dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine to keep things in balance.

It helps the receptors on cells get ready to receive messages from neurotransmitters.

It makes cell membranes more fluid, and less stiff and more receptive to brain messenger chemicals.
