Abstract
About this talk
According to current research, between 30-50% of the population has some form of polymorphism of the MTHFR gene. This gene is mainly responsible for the methylation of folate and B12. The mutations of MTHFR are the source of numerous health conditions seen today in the general population. Although these diseases were virtually unknown in the past, the current state of food production and consequent diets have contributed to the explosion of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension, cardiovasular events, depression, and many more. The ancient wisdom of TCM has linked poor lifestyle and poor dietary choices to the depletion of post-natal jing, as well as the reduction of pre-natal jing, shortening life span. Many herbs had been discovered, as well as dietary/lifestyle choices, to counteract the loss of jing, and protect and preserve precious pre-natal jing. Ultimately, although pre-natal jing is essentially immutable, it is possible to protect it, and prevent chronic disease from developing through lifestle and smart food choices aimed at preventing the disease state.
