The MEBO Research TMAU urine test program was launched in June 2012, and 172 tests have been analyzed. The results of Batch #8 TMAU urine tests were received on January 31, 2014, and all the individuals tested received their respective results within two days after MEBO received all the results in a spreadsheet from the lab.
Of the 15 samples in Batch #8, three were indicative of Primary TMAU (TMAU1) and four of Secondary TMAU (TMAU2), as compared to Batch #7, which had only one TMAU1 and five TMAU2. The results of each batch seem to be different from each other. The more tests are performed, the better we get a clearer picture of averages.
As noted in the comparison chart, which presents the highest to lowest figures per category, TMA, TMAO, TMA/TMAO Ratio, the following are the averages of all the results of 172 tests:
Primary TMAU (TMAU1) Positives: 8.14% (14 of 172)*
Secondary TMAU (TMAU2) Positives: 28.49% (49 of 172)
TOTAL TMAU POSITIVE: 36.62% (63 of 172)
TOTAL NEGATIVE FOR TMAU: 63.37% (109 of 172)
*Please note that 4 of the 14 TMAU1 positive results are repeats by the same people who wanted to see if TMA decreased with the TMAU odor-managment protocol. Even though their TMA levels decreased, the TMA/TMAO Ratio remained in the Above Normal Range, and thus indicative of Primary TMAU. Therefore, Primary TMAU, consisting mostly of genetic causes, is still considered a rare disorder with 5% or less (5 in 10,000 people).
The only way to confirm the genetic form of TMAU originally positive urine test is with a DNA test. See article written by Drs. Elizabeth Shephard and Ian Phillips, "Differential Diagnosis" in NCBI, NIH pages.

Although it took longer to get the test results for Batch#8 due to extreme arctic weather conditions in the Eastern and Midwestern US this winter, thankfully, no samples were damaged, thanks to the care and patience of everyone involved.
