Pyrrole Disorder (Kryptopyrrole) Treatment
Pyroluria (also known as pyrrole disorder and Kryptopyrrole, among other names) is a common chemical imbalance caused by an abnormality in the body’s synthesis of haemoglobin. Mostly seen in women, the disorder can be genetic and/or triggered by environmental factors such as trauma, illness, prolonged stress, ‘leaky gut syndrome’, and the overuse of antibiotics.
Pyroluria is a factor in several emotional and behavioural disorders, and can manifest in a myriad of ways. It will typically first appear as behavioural abnormalities in children, but can continue into adulthood. Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic offers Kryptopyrrole treatment for patients in Melbourne. With a range of options available, we’ll determine the most appropriate form of treatment to help relieve symptoms of the condition.
