The Amazing Mitochondria, The Krebs cycle and a Cookbook for you!

As promised! The launch of The Healthy Mito Cookbook by SnowDrop Herbals.... This is a digital print for $10.99usd, with loads of recipes and tips..A  Beginners guide to eating in Wellness....
Low and Moderate Oxalate, Low Glycemic, Inflammation beating Recipes that are sprouted, gluten free, and great for your Mito! I felt tailoring the cookbook to individuals per se would be difficult, so I aimed for foods that we know are ; 

Good for your energy pathways

Support detoxification

Support certain enzyme function via nutrition, such as folates and B vitamins for MTHFR MTR.

Moderate excess oxalates (since many with Lyme or Mito Dysfunction have oxalate issues)

Remove the Main Trigger foods for histamines - Wheat, Corn, Unfermented Soy, Cow Dairy, Barley, Rye, and modulate Sugars, etc.


After much compilation of my little itty bits of paper with scribbled   recipes that I have created over time (We all enjoy good tasting food!). This cookbook was born for clients and expanded to be offered to anyone that wants .... Some Pegan, some Paleo, all Mito Friendly recipes. These are also nightshade free, some have sprouted grains, all are tasty and good for you and your autoimmune, as well as methylation pathways! These are of course suggestions, apply as befits your situation.

At the back is a food tracker you can print and use each day to track nutrition, and some tips and info scattered throughout, such as, how to maintain DAO enzyme function with certain foods.

I hope you enjoy this cookbook, and it makes your life easier on your journey to Wellness. Many of the foods work with the Krebs cycle, DAO, MTHFR, MTRR and other enzymes, via targeted and dense nutrition. These recipes are from our kitchen, and after much trial and error, we believe, are tasty and simple to make.

The Healthy Mito Cookbook has helped my family to enjoy food while getting on the path to Wellness, but those itty bitty bits of scribbled papers, well, they caused a wee bit of frustration... Now, they are a handy book on offer to you! 93 Pages of info, recipes and tips to make daily life easier :) .... If you like, click the 'Buy Now' button below and our Ebook Cookbook will be delivered via email after payment clears. We send this via email the morning after payment so please ADD your email address at checkout!, so we can send the link within 24hrs of placing orders. Enjoy!

Your Health & The DAO connection : High Histamine and Allergies

As many people have been tested via 23andme for MTHFR, and other, relevant Enzymes and SNP functions, I thought it time again, to share a few tidbits we have found. Working with Sterling Hill and MTHFRSupport is rewarding and fascinating, with new, in-depth information on enzyme function and environmental impacts to them constantly being updated.

One of these, the DAO (Diamine oxidase) snp, works within your GI to breakdown histamines from food(s), thus helping your body to have a healthy response to the foods your are eating, and to process the histamines effectively. If the DAO enzyme function is low, you may well have a high histamine response, or have an allergic reaction to foods you ingest. This can occur relatively quickly, or build up over time.

Now, take this information, and add in the trigger of  pesticides and herbicides used in  crops, which it has been shown, are taken up into the plants via passive diffusion ~ Meaning, you ARE or can be ingesting them when you eat. For more on Endogenous Toxins and enzymes, see the excerpt HERE  from the book "Endogenous Toxins: Targets for Disease Treatment and Prevention, 2 ..., Volume 1"

These  endogenous toxins, may disrupt the DAO enzyme function. If you have a compromised DAO enzyme function, and you are ingesting the herbicides or pesticides, then you have a much greater chance of allergic or histamine response to the food, as your bodies ability to breakdown the histamines has been further blocked. This too can occur from high Oxalates and Impaired GI from other sources as well.

An excerpt from an article here, explains :
"An impaired histamine degradation based on reduced DAO activity, and the resulting histamine excess may cause numerous symptoms mimicking an allergic reaction. The ingestion of histamine-rich food or of alcohol or drugs that release histamine or block DAO may provoke diarrhea, headache, rhinoconjunctival symptoms, asthma, hypotension, arrhythmia, urticaria, pruritus, flushing, and other conditions in patients with histamine intolerance. "

 As well, a book HERE, explains much better than I, how Glyphosates convert to glyoxalate, which it is said,  hinders DAO function.

There are a few things that help DAO work better :

•  Clean 'traditional food' 
•  Reducing pesticide and herbicide exposure 
• Taking a supplemental form of DAO, such as Histame Block EVERY time you eat.
• Sprouting your own, organic Green Pea shoots, and eating 3 times a day (do not heat)
• Heal your GI
• Reduce Oxalate loads

So, I adore the green pea shoot option, big time. Why? Well, you are eating organic vegetables ~ green pea shoots, and naturally upping your DAO, without it costing a fortune. Green Pea Shoots are the only known source at this time, of the enzyme Diamine oxidase. Once your DAO has been compromised, it does not 'get better' or improve regulation or function. So, avoid the trigger(s) above, and eat your green pea shoots daily.Note, if you have dysbiosis, please do not use Green Pea shoots until healed, or as well if you have SIBO.


I hope you found this information useful, and that what was shared today assists you on your path to wellness.

Be Well, Be Happy, Be Healthy!

Pharmacogenomics and how Enzyme function can affect opioid efficacy and toxicity

This post is from an article on Medscape. I am sharing it because I have clients with these issues, and these enzymes have impact ~ Causing either extreme sensitivity to a class of medicine (aka Ultra Rapid Metabolizers), or, lack of absorption (aka Slow or Under Metabolizers ) of the same drug can occur.

Many drugs are processed via these pathways. In this article, specifically, they are discussing Opioids such as Codeine/Morphine. Great insight for those that do take pain management medicines and wonder why they are not getting relief.....


Please share, this has impact on many adverse responses, and/or high doses of medicine, than any study I have seen thus far. 

Perhaps these findings can guide Clients/Patients and Health Care Providers, on better, individualized care at a personal level, that is much safer than the norm today. Scroll down for the complete article....

We now offer Pharmaco Reports via a CLIA certified lab, extracted from your raw genetic data file. This is included in the 'Complete Plan Consultation' at www.snowdropherbals.com. As always, work with your practitioner to implement any possible changes you deem necessary.

As always, 

Be Well, Be Happy, Be Healthy

Medscape article on CYP* Enzyme function

Patients with chronic pain who require high doses of opioids to achieve pain relief show exceptionally high rates of defects of the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzyme system compared with the general population.
The CYP450 enzyme system is known to play an important role in the metabolism of opioids, and recent advances in genetic testing allow for the easy detection of defects to the enzymes.
"We've known for years that among patients with the exact same pain conditions one may need 500 mg of morphine a day while the other may need only 50 mg, but we've always wondered why," lead author Forest Tennant, MD, told Medscape Medical News.
"It turns out that among high-dose patients, about 85% have these defects in 1 or more of their CYP450 enzymes." In the general population, only about 20% to 30% of people have CYP450 defects, he said.
His findings were presented here at the American Academy of Pain Management (AAPM) 23rd Annual Clinical Meeting.
Emerging Frontier
To evaluate patterns among his own patients with intractable pain, Dr. Tennant tested 66 patients attending his clinic in West Covina, California, who required more than 150 mg equivalence of morphine a day for pain relief.
The patients were tested specifically for the CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 enzymes. The results showed that 55 (83.3%) of the 66 patients had 1 or more CYP450 defects, 21 (31.8%) had 2 defects, and 6 (9.1%) had 3 defects.
According to chronic pain management expert Gary M. Reisfield, MD, genetic research is poised to reveal expansive new insights into the mechanisms of why some patients respond to medications whereas others don't.
"Pharmacogenomics represents the emerging frontier for understanding interindividual variability in opioid efficacy and toxicity, and in guiding safe and effective opioid pharmacotherapy," said Dr. Reisfield, an assistant professor and chief of Pain Management Services in the University of Florida College of Medicine's Divisions of Addiction Medicine and Forensic Psychiatry and Department of Psychiatry in Gainesville, Florida.
"With regard to opioid response, the mu-opioid receptor, the ATP [adenosine triphosphate]-binding cassette subfamily B, and other genes are believed to play significant roles," he explained.
With CYP450, a "superfamily" of enzymes responsible for the metabolism of most opioids, various polymorphisms and variables in activity can have clinical significance.
The enzymes, for instance, have been implicated as playing a role in the overactive metabolism of codeine. In a recent case, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in fact issued a warning about the risks associated with codeine after 3 children died and a fourth child nearly died after having been administered codeine following tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
"Once in the body, codeine is converted to morphine in the liver by an enzyme called cytochrome P450 isoenzyme 2D6 (CYP2D6) (and) some people metabolize codeine much faster and more completely than others," the FDA wrote in a statement.
"These people, known as ultra-rapid metabolizers, are likely to have higher-than-normal levels of morphine in their blood after taking codeine. These high levels can lead to overdose and death," the agency said. "The three children who died after taking codeine exhibited evidence of being ultra-rapid metabolizers."
Conversely, some people are "poor" metabolizers of codeine, meaning that they have few, one, or no copies of the gene or CYP2D6, Dr. Reisfield added.

"Such individuals are incapable of metabolizing codeine morphine, and thus incapable of deriving analgesia from administration of the medication. Both genetic defects would be detected through CYP2D6 genotyping."
Drug Seeker or Higher Requirement?
That being said, Dr. Reisfield suggested that the new study's findings, although intriguing, leave many unanswered questions.
"The study adds to a nascent literature on pharmacogenomics in opioid therapy," Dr. Reisfield said. "Dr. Tennant demonstrates an association between CYP 'defects' and requirements for high opioid dosages. He has not, however, established a causal association."
The study's limitations include that "the most frequent defects were in CYP2C19, which plays an inconsequential role in methadone metabolism, but plays no role in the metabolism of other opioids," Dr. Reisfield said.
Meanwhile, CYP3A4, an important enzyme for the metabolism of most opioids, was not genotyped in the study, Dr. Reisfield said.
In addition, the specific opioids used were not identified, which is important because some opioids, including hydromorphone, oxymorphone, and morphine, are not metabolized by CYPs, he added.
It's not known whether subjects were receiving other medications that could have affected CYP metabolic activity.
Dr. Tennant acknowledged that the study would have benefited from more information from a control group of patients with chronic pain who did not require the high doses.


"It is unknown just how prevalent severe intractable pain patients with CYP 450 defects who require high dose opioid therapy may be compared to the general, chronic pain population, but it is probably a small percentage," he wrote.
"This study makes it clear, however, that some severe chronic pain patients have major CYP defects that affect opioid metabolism and dosage."
At the very least, the findings suggest that CYP450 testing can represent an important starting point for evaluation when high doses of opioids are required, Dr. Tennant asserted.
"No one should be called a drug-seeker these days until you've done the CYP450 testing to see if that patient simply needs an awful lot more medication than someone else."
Dr. Tennant and Dr. Reisfield have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

Royal Jelly with Honey ~ A Natural Source of Acetylcholine and BH4

I had to write this today, a fabulous find in my endless research into MTHFR Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and Healing the GI.....

Many adore Honey, and enjoy Royal Jelly... Do you know the health benefits?

I was reading studies and some great articles, and you can find the links below.

Several NCBI studies found that Pesticide Free Royal Jelly contains many of the cofactors to create BH4 or Biopterin, as well as several Vitamin B's, Amino Acids and AcetylCholine.

What is Acetylcholine? Per numerous fact sheets : " Acetylcholine is one of many neurotransmitters in the autonomic nervous system (ANS). It acts on both the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) and is the only neurotransmitter used in the motor division of the somatic nervous system.  Acetylcholine also supports Brain function and memory." It was originally deemed 'Vagus Stuff'. The average ratio of acetylcholine in royal jelly is 1 mg/gram. Pretty good!

The Vagus nerve is one of the largest central nerves that runs from the brain throughout the GI and other systems ~ including cranial nerves... Supplying the heart, lungs, upper digestive tract, and other organs of the chest and abdomen with signaling. NOTE: Twenty percent of the fibres of the vagus nerve control the organs which ‘maintain’ your body (the heart, digestion, breathing, glands). The other 80 percent of its fibres send information from your gut to your brain.

Acetylcholine is released via the vagus nerve signal ..... This is important, as the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls your relaxation, can be impacted by malnutrition and stress that effect signaling pathways and nerves in your body. 

The take on all this? Supplementing with Royal Jelly may be a safe and effective way to naturally raise acetylcholine, get vitamins and minerals as well as amino acids from whole food, and assist with BH4 production.

Enter Royal Jelly, with its numerous health benefits, including being the only natural source of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which acts as a brake on inflammation in the body.....

As part of an inflammation lowering regime....Eat Organic, gluten free and healthy foods, add a little Royal Jelly each day, it has also shown to lower Insulin Resistance. So eat, enjoy, and 'bee' healthier!


Key benefits of Royal Jelly supplementation :
Minerals like calcium, copper, iron, phosphorous, silicon, sulfur, and potassium
B-family vitamins including Niacin, Biotin, Inositol, Folate
Nucleic acids
Gamma globulin
17 different amino acids, including the 8 essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce, and must therefore get from food.
AcetylCholine
Biopterin, or BH4

Sources for Foods and Herbals - by SnowDropHerbals

Today, I want to share with you places I have found for reputable, 'Good for YOU',  Food, Herbs, & Supplements - these sources are all online... YAY convenience! 

SnowDropHerbals Dish, Leek Cauliflower menage left, Cultured Red Potato Salad right :

 Garlic,  Sea Salt, and Mustard Courtesy of Mountain Rose Herbals, below

These are my go-to places for items that here, are simply too expensive in the local stores, and really help us out as a family. We grow a lot of our own vegetables and herbs of course, but it is not possible to always have what is needed, and Mother Nature loves to be capricious which can impact our garden .....

SnowDropHerbals refer clients to these places as well. They help with the transition, and offerings are great, tasty  and can make life easier on the food front.

It is still not standard nor easy to find Grass Fed meats, Gluten Free, etc for many on a local level. I am sad to state even our local Farmers Market rarely has  my favorite go-to produce, preserves or plants, and we are high up in the Colorado Rockies, near Pikes Peak! 

Here's to the growing trend that Farmers change back over to real food!! Believe me, every week last year I attended the Market, hopeful, and asked about this,  and out of 100+ stalls, only 2 had  offerings we will eat. Ga, I was disappointed. So, I turned to the internet to fill the holes our garden cannot fill.

As my daughters and I all have Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and lots of lovely MTHFR et all Genes, as well as chemical sensitivity now, it is important for us to continue with our current trend. It WORKS.

We made this lifestyle decision based on optimal food, herbs, and supplements, that work best for us on an enzyme level, and to assist our GI healing. In the Wellness consults I provide via SnowDropHerbals, the same practice is applied, with great results!

I know, it is hard to switch from the modern, in-a-box (with a huge ingredient list that cannot be pronounced!) diet, laden with bad fats, fake sugar, and gluten just to name a few....To a low Carb, healthy and Preservative-free one. Harder still, when locally prices are through the roof, or the foods just are not available. So, below is a list of websites I at times buy from. Many offer free shipping, most give discounts, and all have something to recommend them. Note, please, do continue to read labels and avoid that which you are not comfortable using! These are recommendations only, but may help you find the foods  you need, supplements, or herbals you want.

The Snow Flake Effect in Wellness and Healing...

The Snow Flake Effect .... Meaning, the unique characteristics of each of us at the Genetic or Mitochondrial level, is never the same.... No two snowflakes are the same in nature, hence, no two people are. These include key Enzyme and Snp functions that tell our body how to react to certain foods, medicines, and even situations and environment.

Some 'Conventionalists' say this enzyme function does not matter. Environment has no impact on a person! Why, the load would have to be huge! Everyone is into a new 'Fad' they say, looking into genetics and body system function(s) and reactions. LUDICROUS, they say. Are they right?

To me no....... We are in the 21st century, they gained huge insight into the genome over a decade ago! Genes  are used in food production, in pharmaceutical advancement, all sorts of arena's never even conceived of a century ago. But, wait, not for individual wellness. That is a no-no.

No, it is not.

This is an obtuse and narrow - minded - to - the - extreme, attitude. I ask:  Why then, are hospitals, Doctors and Scientists around the world using this information to ascertain allergic processes and reversal of same? How to combat inflammation, how to gain Wellness, use medications and herbals? Are they delusional? NO. They use this paradigm because it works. It gives clues and insight we have never before had in history on how our bodies function and react. Period. To say this does NOT matter is the zealot attitude based on fear of change or another reason I cannot comprehend.

Positive change is a wonderful thing, and so is the knowledge of Self. Take these clues and use them on your path to Wellness, do not let fear make your decisions for you.

If you want to eat sugar, go ahead...Want to eat a certain food, knowing better? Or take a Medicine you have an allergy to? That too is your right. I myself tend to make other choices, but this is ALL about choice.

To many, to feel better, to optimize system function, all take the total person into account. INCLUDING genetics. Mind you not 'just' genetics, but the whole person, findings, issues, labs, etc.

Doctors take down history, record allergies, discuss diet and lifestyle, and many now, use genetic predispositions as markers. Why? Because we are individuals, and we react as such.

If we were not each individual, well then, nothing would be wrong and we would all be well forever, for how simple medicine would be to treat everyone! No reactions, all is golden, all is well, ALL the time. Wellness and feeling better would be a breeze, all medicines would work for all people, and allergies, a thing of the past, and no adverse reactions to herbals, food or medicine would happen!

I find Epigenetics and Nutrigenomics fascinating and informative, a key or core facet of 'Who we Are'.  Personally, I have achieved a great deal, and helped others, using data from mitochondria testing reports to target the best foods, the best herbals, and what to avoid that are individualized to each person, via suggestions. So talk with your practitioner, get them your info, make a protocol!.... I am open about my health issues, which are ; Mitochondrial Dysfunction induced via Antibiotic Toxicity... aka Auto Immune Disease / Metabolic disorder. If I can work on wellness in this manner, I see no reason others too cannot get help... Many people CAN reduce inflammation, pain, and optimize nutritional status this way too. As well, the Snp data and gene information and suggestions you use as part of this journey can be very beneficial regarding the best medicines to use, or avoid, if you decide to go the conventional route for treatment of issues you may have. Another piece of the puzzle is your intracellular nutritional status. This shows if your mitochondria and energy powerhouse, are getting the nutrients they need, from what you are eating.

How I used the Snow Flake Effect  to get a grip.....

The top ways to begin tying it all together ~ to see the big picture of what is needed, and the  beginning of your healing journey :

1. Knowledge. This changed my fear to hope, and hope to action.

2. Get a 23andme genetics test done.

3. Have Intracellular nutritional testing. ~ Suggested labs for this are  Spectracell, Nutreval, LabCorp, or Great Plains labs.

4. Run reports on your 23andme data once complete. ~  Suggested reports are via MTHFRSupport.com 'Sterling's App', or via Livewello. As well, we run massive custom reports for you and use other labs as well.

5. Get a complete GI profile such as via Doctor's Data.


6. Get a Consultation scheduled to review all of the information and get the big picture and suggestions.

7. Put a plan in place (Always consult a medical professional to be safe in your choices),  start slow, go steady, and adjust it as you go along. This is KEY. As certain enzyme functions regulate, others will need adjusting via foods, herbals etc.  As one level of 'you' gets on the right track, other enzymes, or snps, can 'wake up' as well. Through food, nutrition and herbals, you can upregulate or downregulate many functions that are too slow, or fast. This is why you need consultations with a practitioner 'In the know' about system responses. Take the suggestions, do your homework. This is powerful knowledge all about YOU.
 
8. Listen to you body, it tells you so much! And, Enjoy the path to a better feeling you :)


Some things that are almost always a given in a plan are ;

1. Healing Intestines and GI
2. Addressing 'Leaky' cells, or, Cell Permeability issues
3. Addressing Enzyme snp dysfunction where possible
4. Lifestyle changes ~ Reduce / remove Synthetnics
5. Diet changes ~ Based on Genetic information, Clean water are MUSTS
6. Herbal and Nutritional supplements~ The less excipients the better.
7. Reducing inflammation ~ Multiple sources such as Brain, GI, Systemic, PN, Acidosis
8. Finding Happiness ~ Eencourage yourself on this road to wellness each day. Find the bits and pieces in your health that are showing improvement, and be happy about them.... And, remember that wellness and health are each a process. It takes a moment for the damage, but much longer to heal.

Some things that are NOT always best :
IV therapy is not for everyone - Test, look at what your body can tolerate, make sure balance in your vitamins and minerals are kept throughout the process.

There is such a thing as 'Too much of a good thing'.  Do not overdo supplements or herbals in your rush to get better.

Avoid :
Folic acid
Processed Foods

Pesticides - especially if you have active G6PD dysfunction.
Preservatives
'Bad' Fats
Certain Excipients,  Medicines, and Supplements - these are via CLIA labs as possible issues, use this tool to get additional testing if needed.


Body wellness takes time, a regiment, and clear goals. It is possible, it can be done, and the Snow Flake Effect can be utilized for individual, targeted goals to be met! It makes each of us so unique, special, and interesting, and gives vital clues about what is best for each of us....

Have you started your healing journey?


If you have, I am happy for you, for knowledge is a wonderful thing!


May You be Well, be Happy, & be Healthy!
