How many lives do you save per day, Coach?

On topic, it is the real deal.

Wife has it, she cant metabolize folic acid. didnt know it then, and first born has cerebral palsey. Second born is ahead if every growing curve, wife took methalated folic acid during pregnancy (and every day since she found out about mthfr mutation)

Coincidence? Maybe.

No way to know. But I know the chemistry behind it and it is a real thing

Seriously, just trying to quell the hyperbole from the dude championing his soon to be x-wife as a 12-hour a day life saver.

If you know a nurse. Ask.

What exactly is the theory you're asking about?

PLEASE, you think nursing makes a difference? I didn't know SLUTTING it up around DOCTORS was a real job

I'm a teacher, I bet none of you nurses could even PASS the praxis. I teach junior high and spend 16 hours a day teaching and grading papers, plus creating lesson plans to inspire young leaders is a year round job



You've got SOME NERVE talking to me like that!! Not only is nursing harder than teaching, I work 7 on 7 off on a rig year round to keep gas in YOUR car!!! It's basically like being deployed, so THINK ABOUT THAT before you mouth off next time!!!

Right. It is certainly a real genetic mutation. However, I don't know how many scientifically sound conclusions one can draw from that.

I work in the space. There are a few things believed to coincide with that gene deficiency. There are even studies relating it to dental issues being higher in kids with the mutation. What is you sons issue?

Your whore is probably one that sits at the desk all night shopping online while the others are in a case circulating, scrubbing in a case, charting, cleaning rooms, stocking, cleaning/sterilizing instruments, prepping patients/rooms, in pre-op, in post-op with patient.


Well that's not what her FB statuses say so how do you EXPLAIN THAT EINSTEIN????

So I have to plead ignorance on this. Researching this topic as it relates to my son's health issues.


What are your son's health issues? Also, how did you get to the MTHFR gene? Did your son's doctor mention it or did you stumble upon it during a google search?

He's 3. Was diagnosed having high functioning autism by a pediatric neurologist this past Nov. A developmental pediatrician said he wasn't sure he would given that original diagnosis as he is social with adults, makes regular eye contact , etc. Although he is speech delayed and has some sensory processing issues. But coming along nicely with speech and OT.

Got another opinion outside of the traditional medical world. Did a urine test and came back high in mercury and some other concerns. Suggested testing for the MTHFR gene issue and take methylated folate, B12 and magnesium for some vitamin and nutritional deficiencies.

Trying to help our son the best we can and consider every option. But, not waste time or money chasing theories.

little one with SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder) here and on spectrum (most SPD kiddos are).

We began consulting a functional medicine doctor and she recommended testing for the mutation. It's expensive.......but did give us some additional info to consider.

One huge thing we've actually experienced in gluten does affect him intensely as the gene report eluded to. The report goes on to show a variety of markers on sensitivities and vitamin deficiencies. We minimize milk and dairy as well, but gluten is the no-no for him. Its like flipping a fricking switch.

best of luck as you are in a murky pond full of ignorance and close-minded fricks who have ZERO appreciation of what your little one faces, BUT you have many who are here to help and lean on:)

High in Mercury? That sounds slightly unbelievable. Does your son eat a lot of fish or thermometers?

Thanks for the feedback.

How old is your son now? How's his speech, executive functioning, etc.?

What sorts of therapies did you do?

Does he have friends / socialize with his peers?

I agree. My cousin has the MTHFR gene mutation. But he's from Alabama and apparently it's not even frowned upon over there

He's 10. We're very fortunate. He's had no vocal or engaging issues.

We have done OT early on for vestibular work (and other sensory items) then social coaching and such.

He's very intense (and literal). He's a strong cup of coffee and does have issues with typical child interactions. If kids are assholes to him, he sets them straight......and that's not a good thing. Sounds like he stands up for himself, but its more like he scolds them as an adult would. He's also not shy about physically handling it if they touch him......he's on the 95-100% growth curve and freakishly strong.

He has one friend. Breaks my heart.

Loud/smelly environments reek havoc on him. He's gotten much better though.....
