Understanding Pyroluria

Not many doctors, especially pediatricians, will recognize this disorder. In fact, most will think you are a crackpot for asking about it or asking to test your child for it. They don’t recognize Pyroluria because its the disorder that PROVED that certain mental disorders are caused by a biochemical imbalance and therefore can only be cured with bio-chemicals, also known as vitamins and minerals.

Pyroluria is a genetic condition that results in an abnormality in hemoglobin synthesis. Huh?

Pyroluria was initially described by Abram Hoffer, a pioneer in orthomolecular medicine and psychiatry. He found that kryptopyrroles, a by-product of hemoglobin, bind to vitamin B6 and then to Zinc and were eliminated through urine, causing deficiencies in those minerals.

Many times Pyroluria is seen with other imbalances such as histapenia, histadelia, high copper levels, or cerebral allergies. It is also the primary imbalance for 20% of schizophrenics.
