We talk here about a major stress disorder, pyroluria, that occurs across the gamut of mental health conditions: schizophrenia, bipolar, anxiety, panic, PTSD, learning and behavior disorders, etc. People with pyrrole disorder react intensely to stress. The good news is it’s very responsive to nutrient treatment, particularly to zinc and B6 (or P5P), which are constantly depleted by pyrroles. (But similarly, people can go downhill fast if nutrients are discontinued.) This podcast looks at signs, symptoms, and nutrients.
Definitions useful for this episode:
Pyrrole - a natural biochemical used in forming the hemoglobin in red blood cells.
Pyrrole disorder - a condition in which excess of certain pyrroles removes significant quantities of B6 and zinc, increasing sensitivity to stress, and leading to adverse mental and physical reactions.
P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate) - a more potent form of B6.
