Is it possible to upload a file to this site?

[LAJ12345]

Does anyone know if you can upload a file to this site? I thought I would upload the DNA analysis , urine analysis and SIBO files that we have had done on my husband for anyone interested in seeing the kinds of information you get from these tests but I am not sure if it is possible.

It would be quite interesting to have a database of anonymous DNA results from everyone that has had it done so we can see where the similarities lie don't you think? Or we could take it offline and make up a bit of a database for anyone that is interested (anonymous).

Also to see if the same bacteria are present and where the amino acids are similar. It might help people pin point the root cause of their problems so they can cherry pick remedies that help their particular form of the condition.

For example I have noticed:

The bacteria corynebacterium amycolatum is present in his faecal sample. The dna report states" RS356219 SNP on chromosome 4. A study of 197 middle-aged patients with Parkinsons and 115 age matched controls found the risk of Parkinsons was increased in the carriers of the G allele when combined with the presence of Corynebacterium in the gut."

A search for Corynebacterium by the naturapath says it feeds on mannose and other sugars. Does that mean mannose is something that is not a good idea if you have this bacteria? Or is the amount so little it is insignificant?

Other SNPs he has indicate that the following may be useful:

B2, and the active form of B6, quercetin, berberine, ginseng, silmarin, selenium, catechin and epicatechin, green tea, choline,

But also it says ginger, turmeric and cumin, palmitric acid (found in olive and coconut, palm oils and butter, cheese , milk) are not good for him amongst many other things.

Also that for up to an hour after exercise MAOB activity rises . Its normal function is to degrade dopamine and and it creates reactive oxygen species in the brain that damage cells. In PD the MAOB may be elevated. Epicatechin and catechin and garlic help inhibit excess MAOB.

I think it would be really interesting to have similar information from a wide variety of people and compare dna reports, recommendations based on DNA, and PD symptoms to see if there are any correlations. It would be very interesting to see if say thiamine works well for people with Italian ancestry because they have the DNA mutations in that area, but less well or at lower doses for some others because they have a different mutations.

Hi

I can't help you about uploading files. It would be interesting but I have no clue.

You kindly replied to a question I asked but I cant find your answer now! I was wanting the name of the naturopath who did all the tests . I think you said they were in NZ.

Hi, yes, Sharon Erdrich from the house of Heath in Auckland. She has been good at arranging tests, interpreting results, but is not a PD or neurological expert as she focuses on gut. So her advice I think needs to be balanced with information on PD too. Eg she gave him kava for stress but he had a bad reaction to that and when I looked it up it says not advised for PD.

My husband has a strange bacteria in large amounts Corynebacterium

amycolatum and she has not been able to find information on how to treat that or how dangerous it is so I am trying to find an expert in that area now.

The tests are worth it for sure and you are unable to order them without a registered person to interpret them.
