The MTHFR mutation can increase a person's risk of cancer, autoimmune diseases, infertility struggles, mental health issues, and creates sensitivity to certain foods, toxins, and heavy metals (Wellness Mama Blog).
There are just under 5,000 research articles written on MTHFR, currently. However, there is still a lot more research to be done before the realm of science will accept the severity of the different MTHFR mutations.
There are many online discussion boards on the topic of MTHFR health, and the general consensus is that MTHFR mutations can significantly increase the risk of miscarriage and impact fertility in otherwise healthy individuals. the mutations cause a severe sensitivity to sugar, dairy, and wheat, the microbiome is significantly impacted by the mutation, and the mutation causes midline defects.
Midline defects are a group of visible malformations on the body that result from having the MTHFR mutation. For example, a sugar bug or vein is a blue vein located on the bride of the nose or between the eyes on a young child. This is a common midline defect. Another common defect is the stork bite, a birth mark at the base of the skull along the spinal column in a young child. A common, but sometimes harmful, defect is the tongue or lip tie. A tongue tie occurs when the frenulum underneath the tongue is long and taut, causing restriction in the tongue's movement. A lip tie is the same concept, only instead of the frenulum, the maxillary labial frenum under the top lip is restrictive. Both ties can cause severe issues in breastfeeding, causing failure to thrive in some infants. Fortunately, the ties can be revised by an oral surgeon, and the breastfeeding relationship can be salvaged if the revision is performed in time.
Have you or anybody you know been affected by any of these symptoms?
