      Great to see an Aussie doc working with MTHFR.

      My only concern is he is only recommending Folinic Acid.

      Maybe Australia does not yet have methylfolate?

      Those with MTHFR must be taking 5-MTHF also known as methylfolate, Metafolin, L-5-MTHF.

      Folinic acid is still not active enough for those with MTHFR gene mutations.

    This website has lots of useful information regarding MTHFR, including the severe forms. He also includes videos of his seminars.

    Dear Dr. Ben,
    My 8 year old daughter has just been diagnosed heterozygous MTHFR. I think this helps explain a lot! she was diagnosed by Dr. Elizabeth Boham in Lenox, MA. Just got the labwork by email today and will chat with Dr. Boham to debrief on it on Monday. Right now I’m trying to study up on MTHFR. But I’m wondering… do I have it too? I do know that I have the Prothrombin II mutation, and was on Lovenox through all 4 of my pregnancies. Is it possible to have Prothrombin II mutation without MTHFR?

    Thanks,
    Linda

      Hi Linda –

      If your daughter has the MTHFR mutated gene, she either got the copy from you or her father.

      A heterozygous MTHFR mutation can play a role in one’s symptoms if their lifestyle, diet and nutrients are not up to par. The MTHFR mutation can especially play a role if there are additional mutations nearby – such as in the MTR, CBS, VDR, COMT or MAO A genes. Soon I will have a test which will identify the potential mutations here which will provide much more information and allow an easier path towards health.

      It is possible to have a prothrombin II mutation without MTHFR.

        Hi Dr. Ben,
        Thanks for your reply. My daughter has been having some attention/anxiety issues. Separately she would ‘spaz out’ whenever she had sugar. This bloodwork I mentioned in my prior email just showed MASSIVE yeast dysbiosis in her gut, which explains the spazzing from sugar, I think.

        As for the MTHFR, I think I’ll get both my husband and myself tested to see who is the carrier. He is prone to CFS and fibro. I am a somewhat low-energy person in general with low iron/ferritin/hematocrit so I’m wondering which one of us has it. (We are both high-functioning people with a busy life so we want to get to the bottom of it.)

        I will schedule a consult with you to get educated!
        Thanks,
        Linda

    My husband has MTHFR gene mutation, and we live in WV, there are literally no doctors here that have even heard of it before, much less able to treat his symptoms, etc. Is there a list of doctors anywhere that are treating it or even researching it? We would be willing to go out of state to consult with a doctor, but we just can’t go all the way across the country. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated!

      Hi Allison –

      With the amazing online tools we have presently, traveling cross country to work with a doctor is not needed.

      I work very well with people around the world through Skype.

      There are very few doctors who know about MTHFR and even fewer who take it seriously – and then..even fewer who know how to address it properly …and then even fewer who know how to address the nuances of those who do not respond to standard MTHFR protocols.

      I am one of these doctors.

      I am happy to work with your husband and appreciate the opportunity to do so.

      You may schedule a consult here or you may call my office directly at 800-547-9812 and one of my team members will get you set up.
