TMAU story on Discovery Health : Mystery Diagnosis, The boy who stopped walking

Thanks again to Cheryl, who again has boldly allowed her trimethylaminuria story to be told to the media, with the beneficiaries being all metabolic body odor and haltiosis sufferers. She truly is a brave pioneering soul.

Cheryl also founded the charity research fund for TMAU at NORD. The 'donate online' instructions are unclear as to how you donate to TMAU research in particular, although it's likely if mentioned that it will go to TMAU. This needs to be clarified.

The program on TMAU was part of the Mystery Diagnosis series

channel: Discovery Health
series : Mystery Diagnosis
episode: The boy who stopped walking

Obviously it must be the second half of the episode. Discovery Health say that previous episodes can be bought on Itunes, though presumably this is only the audio. The program includes comment from Dr Fennessey of the University of Colorado Denver Health Sciences Center. He could be regarded as instigator of trimethylamine urine testing in the USA. His lab is one of the few in the USA, and probably tests the vast majority of samples (90%+ ?)

Thanks again to Cheryl, brave pioneer.
