Merry Christmas first of all. I used to think I had Pyroluria, however after doing extensive research it appears to be a totally fake condition. There's little evidence that Pyroluria exists, the only research papers that I know of regarding Pyroluria are the following :
Am J Psychiatry. 1978 Oct;135(10):1239-40. "Pyroluria: a poor marker in chronic schizophrenia."
Med Hypotheses. 1986 Apr;19(4):333-8. "A new prostaglandin disturbance syndrome in schizophrenia: delta-6-pyroluria"
I wouldn't base any treatment approach solely on the fact that you might have Pyroluria. Also Histadelia and Histapenia are from what I gather also fake conditions. If you look at the symptoms of all three conditions then there's is much crossover. I consider these conditions as scientific as Astrology.
I'm all for alternative medicine as I'm stuyding a degree in Nutritional Medicince currently but there has to be at least some credible evidence for any treatment program and sadly I can find little for Pyroluria.
