Dr. Pfeiffer's work helped me a ton. Got my blood work and deficiency tests done about 10 years ago, worked on those, and basically all my symptoms have been alleviated for years. I'm convinced most forms of mental imbalance are driven by deficiencies, full stop.
Pathologizing everything that moves is called hypercognition. Hypercognition - You rapidly catalog and collate all available data on a person, place, thing, or event, calling to mind scraps of memory and assembling clues in a logical and systematic order. Hypercognition: The bias toward what is known may lead to wrong or delayed diagnoses that bring harmful consequences. Perhaps we can start to gain insights into these blind spots by adding the notion of hypocognition to our cognitive arsenal. And who are most likely to fall prey to hypercognition? Experts. Experts who are confined by their own expertise. Experts who overuse the constricted set of concepts salient in their own profession while neglecting a broader array of equally valid concepts
@ranc1977 Right because treating clinically diagnosable mental imbalances as deficiency diseases in the vein of pelagra and conducting rigorous blood tests, applying biomechanics, staying up to date on the latest scientific findings and culminating that knowledge of how DNA effects protein folding and how diet effects health is "hypercognition" and "overthinking" You know who's likely to fall prey to the Dunning-Kruger effect? People who know not of what they speak. I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say you've never read Dr. Carl Pfeiffer's work. How can you think critically about or criticize someone's work when you don't have a foundational understanding of the basic premise? You can't. Or at least you can't and expect to be taken seriously.
My B6 was incredibly low when I last tested it. The problem is that I get angry, impatient when I take B6 (P5P). Is this related to methylation? Also, my zinc is never low, it's always B6 and B9. Is this common?
That’s really interesting - I appreciate you sharing your experience. It could be methylation. I’m wondering if the impatience and anger increases with eating foods rich in B6 (Pork, Poultry, Some Fish (Salmon, Tuna), Milk, Eggs, Chicken Liver, Beef, Avocado, Sweet Potato)? Also, another thought is that since the gut microbiome is what utilizes the B vitamins, could you benefit from gut healing before adding P5P? And! If you feel good even though you tested low for B6 ~ might your body need less?
