🩸 Facts about Acute Hepatic Porphyria:
The four types of AHP, the role of ALAS1 in heme synthesis, the buildup of neurotoxic ALA and PBG, and common triggers of acute attacks, including fasting, alcohol, stress, and certain medications.
#Porphyria only became known as "the vampire disease" in 1985 when a scientist named Dolphin gave a talk in LA to link the receding gums, sunlight issues and lower iron in the blood to the myths. 🫠😅
We can't survive on blood though. We survive off cookies 🤣 (high carb, low iron, higher sugar diet)
