My mother had anorexia, all her four kids have facial asymmetry to varying degrees left jaws didn’t develop properly. All suffer from undereating, two out of four has addiction problems alcohol then crash from benzos another cocaine problems. Anxiety depression, mother has nervous breakdown with delusionment issues.

Safe to say a this was quite an earth shattering read.

"There are no and will never be any randomized controlled trials testing whether sulfite administration causes anxiety in humans." Why on earth not? This sounds extremely important!

I don't recall if I mentioned this book previously on this Substack, but Nutrient Power by Dr. William Walsh strikes me as foundationally important for understanding the connection between micronutrients and mental health. Dr. Walsh focuses especially on vitamin B6 and zinc (esp. zinc to copper ratio). Dr. Walsh treated and cured many cases of apparently incurable mental/behavioral disorders by focusing on diet and supplements.

How do I know if there is a disturbance in the function of the gene or something to pay attention to? For example, I have rs1081975 CG, but I don't know what it indicates in this case.
