My son has this and one thing I've noticed he seems to catch illnesses very quickly. And I know of another child with this deficiency was prone to sicknesses as well they say it had nothing to do with it but it was very strange that our children was experiencing the same issues constant ear infections, weak immune system.

[@tranxvillanueva1092]

@@millieschattime9924 I’m lucky I was diagnosed with g6pd deficiency when I was born. I rarely get sick, idk if I’m misdiagnosed or if I’m asymptomatic. But all I know is my mom has it too.

[@Hasanofy]

I wish I was smart enough to understand this

[@lindav1189]

Here is very simple explanation. Our blood is cleaned buy spray of peroxide that a chemical change is the peroxide back into water. If you have severe G6PD you don't have the ability to turn that chemical back into water therefore the peroxide stresses the blood and makes it burst.

[@atlboy2002]

[@vjenn21officialchannel]

Helped me understand my condition and why I feel so winded and tired at times

[@tropicalparadiseboutiquevi5695]

G6PD can treatment?

[@g6pddeficiencyandfavism883]

Read malaria and G6PDD research, Read about Lyonization which was researched in 1961 and ratified in about 2005. It is A law and disproves the belief that an unaffected chromosome will take over for an affected one. Some of your video is correct but more is wrong than right.

[@mo_daiz401]

Awsome very helpful, thank you very much.

[@amiyakrdeka4691]

Any Call centre or G6PD Group to help out call people.

[@sultanmuzafar3571]

Well done, but please can anyone tell me why fava bean causes haemolytic anaemia , what is its relation with G6pd?

[@millieschattime9924]

[@drakewilliams10dw]

Thanks

[@indianwildrose2671]

This video helped me understand more. My Doctor just brushes it off as nothing.

[@LostKinda]

Would glutathione pills help g6pd individuals? I know its more involved with the nadph + h reaction. But would taking a supplement of glutathione help alleviate rbc lysis?

[@Cass_i]

Great explanation, thanks

[@justinskariah9999]

There is an error in this video... G6PD converts glucose 6-phosphate into 6-phosphogluconolactone (not into 6-phosphogluconate) Time stamp 1:36

[@jjindalsx3304]

source?

[@justinskariah9999]

just search the pentose phosphate pathway... Any picture you find of the pathway will show this

[@jjindalsx3304]

ah i see, thanks :)
