I am a physician in Dublin and I see many cases of pyroluria.One can get the plasma zinc done in most hospitals. The functional (EGOT) version of B6 should be done rather than a plain B6.Not many labs do that.Neither do many labs do pyroluria,which incidentally may be normal if the person is already on an antipsychotic.Minor elevation above the normal level is common too. If pyroluria is diagnosed 50-100mg of zinc and occasionally more than that are required.200-400mg B6 might be needed,at least part of which should be the P5P verion of B6.Evening primrose oil may help too as will other antioxidants like vit C and E.Magnesium is often added as is manganese. A large dose of fish oil might not be a good idea here.An interesting feature of pyroluria is that recovery often starts quickly,sometimes in as little as a week. I notice at the top of this page the name "National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine ". They have no reference in their database to pyroluria,histadelia ot histapenia, the 3 most useful terms in biochemical psychiatry in my experience.Much of my knowledge on pyroluria came from the Pfeiffer Center in Chicago (www.hriptc.org) who organised a course for doctors in Australia which I found really useful.There are some more more details on my website at www.omega3.20megsfree.com
