A viewer asks: “Recently a friend of mine explained she was diagnosed with MTHFR gene mutation. After which I realized this may be the gene mutation my doctors told me I had years ago. The gene mutation appears to be responsible for all kinds of chronic physical ailments. Everything from heart problems to digestive disorders and nerve issues. My question is: Are chronic viruses somehow related to the gene mutation? Or is there another reason for this mutation to occur through the environment or are there more sinister reasons for this mutation? Like interloper involvement? What can you tell me?”

Humans do not produce Vitamin C due to a mutation in the GULO (gulonolactone oxidase) gene, which results in the inability to synthesize the protein. Normal GULO is an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of D-glucuronolactone with oxygen to L-xylo-hex-3-gulonolactone. This then spontaneously forms Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). However, without the GULO enzyme, no vitamin C is produced. Other mammals like guinea pigs, bats, and dry-nosed primates have gained the same defect. It seems odd that a deleterious random mutation would become dominant in the human lineage. Is that what happened, or was there a sinister manipulation of the human genome?
