Measuring UMFA in Suspected CFD
Dr. Kara Fitgerald on UMFA
|  |
In her most recent blog, Kara Fitzgerald, ND supports monitoring Unmetabolized Folic Acid (UMFA) in the serum of those with diagnosed or suspected Cerebral Folate Deficiency (CFD). It makes good sense given the ubiquitous presence of synthetic folic acid in the food supply, and its toxic consequences in individuals with CFD. She goes on to discuss a study involving two young patients, both diagnosed with autism, and how she has put her advocated theory to the test within this particular case.

Lab Evaluations for Synthetic Vitamins
Vitamin D2 vs. D3, 5-MTHF vs. UMFA
| |
Last month, Metametrix Chief Science Officer, Dr. Richard Lord, hosted an educational webinar discussing laboratory evaluations for synthetic vitamins. In his session, he reviewed the additions of D2 and D3 as analytes to our vitamin D profile, and addressed the distinctions between the two. He also gave an in-depth look at folates through our new Unmetabolized Folic Acid (UMFA) profile, constructively differentiating UMFA from 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-MTHF).

What's on Your Gut's Mind?
Rachel Marynowski, ND on the GI tract
| |
If your gut could talk, what would it say? Well, being that it contains the body's "second brain," it can think and quite possibly, it's not very content with the way it's being treated. In her latest blog post, Dr. Rachel Marynowski convincingly gives us reason to regularly evaluate our GI system and consider the Comprehensive GI Effects profile in doing so.

Spring: Time for a Thorough Sweep
Rid your home of allergens and toxins
| |
March 20th marked the start of spring and the beginning of unusually high pollen counts. As these counts begin to lower, now is the perfect time for you to give your household a detailed cleaning and eradicate it of the bothersome grains. While you're at it, do away with the dangerous chemicals that may have reappeared under your cabinets or in your cleaning-supply closet since your last good sweep.
