Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 For my son it was a blood test. He gets B12/Folinic Acid injections. Ideally he'd be taking betaine (TMG), but he can't tolerate it.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Who actually ran the test?

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 ----Original Message Follows---- From: Jane <jbjny@...> The gene variant that my son has (I'm nearly positive that it's MTHFR-- it led his doctor to prescribe the B12/folinic acid/betaine protocol, and inhibits his DNA methyllation) does not necessarily lead to autism. He has NLD (nonverbal learning disability) and lymphoid nodular hyperplasia. We just found out yesterday that his neurotypical sister has the same mutation. She has allergies and chemical sensitivities. Some people might feel that my son is on the spectrum, but no one would argue that about my daughter. Nor does she have learning disabilities. Jane --------------------------------------------- Hi Jane, It probably is the MTHRF. I wouldn't be surprised if we also have that variant since the aura migraines are something that my mom and I both have. My younger son used to be severely chemically sensitive. (ASD/OCD) It turned out that his immune system was responding to all kinds of things. Once we changed his diet and added the antivirals, antifungals, etc. it became obvious they were the major stimulus that kept him so sensitive and dysfunctional for most of his life. My older son didn't have problems until Jr High when he developed CFS/CFIDS. He had the same issues develop (diet,viral,yeast) after his immune system was hit by something like EBV. He followed a similar treatment for about two years and felt well enough to stop treatment. You probably know this...but lymphoid nodular hyperplasia is found in non-IgE food allergies.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 How did you find out that you had these gene defects? What type of doctor did you see?
