Porphyrins count high - beta glucan connection?

Question

I just had a skin analysis done showing a high count of 949 for porphyrins... internet research is telling me that the fact that I take beta glucans 1,3 may contrbute to the high number. How do I find out what a "safe" number is for porphyrins and can the high count be due solely to taking the beta glucans supplements?

Answer 1

Based on looking into this on wickipedia, I cannot get a number for you. I might suggest that the person who ordered your skin analysis would have some medical knowledge beyond what we can find on the web.

In my quite amateur opinion, it looks like if you have no other symptoms you are okay. The article in wickipedia says, "urine estimation of porphobilinogen (PBG) is the first step" to determine that prophyrins are too high, indicating a disorder called Porphyria.

I found an organization that promotes the use of beta glucans. Perhaps you can contact them for info. I've included them as the last link in my source list.

Answer 3

It could --- but not necessarily. I had a very high beta HCG count but I'm only carrying one baby. We had an ultrasound to check. In fact, the normal beta HCG numbers for singletons and multiples overlap. So the only way to know is ultrasound.

Answer 4

I recommend seeing a HEMATOLOGIST that specializes in Porphyria.

It would also be wise to check your
URINARY KRYPTOPYRROLE LEVEL.

KRYPTOPYRROLE TEST

This test measures how much Zinc & B6 is in an individual's urine. The name of this type of Acute Intermittent Porphyria is called PYROLURIA. This is a severe vitamin & mineral deficiency.

Pyroluria requires MEGA-doses of the vitamins B6, Zinc, and the Essential Fatty Acid (Omega-6).

Once the individual is no longer DEFICIENT in these "key" vitamins & minerals, the body has a better chance to focus and less stress is being placed on the body.

ADHD, amongst many other neurological disorders, is simply a SYMPTOM of the underlying DEFICIENCIES.
