Dr. Elizabeth Shephard's presentation: FMO3 - a protein that can multi-task

We are currently working on providing you with Dr. Elizabeth Shephard's powerpoint presentation that she created specifically for the MEBO Conference part of our Miami Beach Meetup 2012. Meanwhile, until we are able to post this in this blog, I would like to offer you a link to it, and a link for you to download FREE QuickTime 7. Please note that QuickTime7 is free, and if you are asked to pay, then you are not in the right place. A web-embedded version of this presentation will be available in several days for me to be able to post it in this blog. Once you have downloaded QuickTime 7, you can run Dr. Shephard's powerpoint presentation using the following link:

DR ELIZABETH SHEPHARD'S PRESENTATION

This most valuable presentation of data highlights the dangers of certain drugs, including pesticide and psychiatric drugs, for example, for persons who have deficient metabolic clearance. Among those would be persons with FMO3 compromised systems.

Please note, that Dr. Shephard is excited with the new field of genetics called "Pharmacogenetics" which deals with how our genes influence the way we handle a drug. Pharmacogenetics is "Personalized Medicine..." and the focus treatment is "if we understand a person's genetics, can we tailor their drug treatment to get them the best response to their particular drugs."

Dr. Shephard gives us a "very short list" as examples of some FMO3 drug substrates more commonly used, including anaesthetics, a variety of anti-inflammatory (throat lozenges and sprays), anti-psychotic, and neuronal stimulant, such as nicotine. She refers to a study that has proven the inability or compromised ability of people with TMAU to be metabolize Benzydamine.

In addition, she explains how "Many drugs are metabolized by more than one enzyme" including CYPs (P450s).

I highly recommend that all persons, without exception, that suffer from any type of body odor or halitosis condition, study her presentation. All sufferers need to observe and be aware of any adverse reaction to any medication consumed, and to immediately inform their physician.

Dr. Shephard also tells us,

One thing to remember is that many people have unpleasant effects from antipsychotics and antidepressants and this may not be due to changes in FMO3.

This presentation will be put up in this blog as soon as possible.
