Recently, I sent a couple of my family members to get tested for a gene called Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor. Reason being is the fact I was diagnosed with it myself and learned that it also may be genetic. My doctor wasn't able to tell me that much about this gene due to the fact that it is pretty new to American Doctors. So I had to do most of the research myself to get any straight answers about this Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Gene. I did find that this gene has been associated with a wide variety of diseases and disorders. The majority of the problems that derive from this particular gene are also a lot of the common complaints that my family members have.
Luckily the family members that did get tested did not come back positive for Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Gene. Instead they came back with test results that revealed a Vitamin B12 Deficiency. This would have been easily overlooked if it wasn't for the fact that my family members had asked for extensive blood work to be done. Actually Vitamin B12 Deficiency is one of the most common disorders that are overlooked by Physicians. It's not that your Physician lacks common sense; it's just that they have been conditioned to look for other ailments. The Prescription Drug Manufacturers target Doctors more then they target us. In fact I read a story written by a man who left medical school in the United States. His reasons had more to do with his morals then anything. In his story he explained that the majority of his classes and seminars focused on prescribing medication rather then preventive healthcare. He ended up moving over seas to do just that, focus on preventative healthcare, not writing out scripts all day.
So you may be wondering what conditions are linked with Vitamin B12 Deficiency?
Here are the conditions that I was able to find, there may be more.
Pernicious Anemia
Atherosclerosis
The Early onset of Alzheimer's disease
Muscle Tremors
Depression
Osteoporosis
Cataracts
Strokes at an early age
Infertility
Metabolic Syndrome
And, Dementia
