In the intricate dance of human biology, trace elements play crucial yet often understated roles. Among them, copper stands out for its significant impact on reproductive health. This essential nutrient, though required in minute quantities, plays a pivotal role in various biological processes critical to reproductive function. In this blog, we will dive into the [...]
The topic of oxalate accumulation from citrate by Aspergillus Niger, and specifically the biosynthesis of oxalate from its ultimate precursor, is an area of interest in microbiology and biochemistry. Aspergillus Niger is a common species of fungus known for its industrial applications and its role in various biochemical processes. Here's a summary based on the [...]
In my clinical practice, I've observed a fascinating pattern: patients grappling with high levels of oxalates often exhibit elevated benzoic acid levels, coupled with diminished hippuric acid. This correlation is particularly notable among those suffering from interstitial cystitis, a chronic condition characterized by bladder pain and discomfort. Understanding the interplay of these compounds in our [...]

https://youtu.be/U9ik9yDwvRk?si=kHknHWW4b95Mhsdg Introduction to AGEs Advanced Glycation End Products, commonly referred to as AGEs, are compounds that naturally form in the body when sugars react with proteins or lipids without the assistance of enzymes. This reaction, known as glycation, occurs slowly over time and is a part of the body's metabolic processes. However, AGEs can also [...]
Over the past few years of working exclusively with IC patients, I have run across a very high percentage of my patients have oxidative stress and excessive amounts of reactive oxygen species. In addition, there is a very high percentage of them with Copper dysregulation and disorders in iron metabolism. This can be presented as [...]
