© Alexandra Chambers | Neurotopia CIC | January 2026 During my first pregnancy, the foetus remained in breech position throughout. As I approached term, NHS clinicians became increasingly insistent on scheduling an external cephalic version (ECV) – a manual procedure to turn the baby into a head-down position. I declined because I had a deep, […]

© Alexandra Chambers | Neurotopia CIC | January 2026 While mainstream narratives often frame connective tissue profiles in binary terms – either hypermobile or (rarely) hypomobile – the lived reality is often far more complex. In truth, it is biologically and mechanistically possible for different parts of the same body to express divergent mobility traits.

© Alexandra Chambers | Neurotopia CIC | December 2025 Disclaimer: Every individual’s biology is unique. Genetic variation, methylation status, nutrient processing, and environmental factors all influence what supports or disrupts internal systems. What strengthens one person’s blood–brain barrier may overwhelm another’s. This article is written from a divergent genomics perspective, with emphasis on terrains that

©Alexandra Chambers | Neurotopia CIC | September 2025 All research is available for PDF digital download on https://studio.buymeacoffee.com/extras and all money goes directly to Neurotopia CIC to fund further research, thank you. Abstract This investigative research critically re-evaluates the widely accepted attribution of reduced neural tube defect (NTD) rates in Canada to folic acid fortification.
