Female friend of mine has pyroluria

Posted By Sylvie (Portland, Or, U.s.a.) on 06/06/2011

A female friend of mine has been dealing with high stress levels and resulting depression due to her 16-year-old daughter's fatigue, hormonal imbalances and mood swings, to name a few, for most of her daughter's life. After mass amounts of tests and trials, her daughter was recently diagnosed with Pyroluria by a higher-end Naturopath and after diagnosis she seemed to improve on a very high amount of vitamin supplementation, but sadly only for a short while. Please, is there anyone out there who has any experience and/or control over this debilitating condition? I'm concerned for both of them!

I have studied this. I understand it can be tested for in a medical clinic. It requires supplementation of b6 and zinc. I think the low zinc doesn't allow the body to produce b vitamins incl. 6. And binds necessary nutrients. But the info suggest that you have these levels monitored (dr) because the supplementation may need to be high doses and your body can get too much zinc. It is a urine test. It is also call kryptopyrolles. here is some info http://www.berkanaway.com/pyroluria.html google the doctors on the bottom of this link. Hoffer was the one that I researched, but found newer research also.
