Donations "Gut Microbiota in Idiopathic Malodor Production" Research

Please donate to support international shipping of samples for the MEBO "Dynamics of the Gut Microbiota in Idiopathic Malodor Production" research study funded by a uBiome Research Grant awarded to MEBO Research in June 2018. "This is a great research grant that has the potential to have a lasting, significant impact on the lives of sufferers !

This is NOT a TMAU test, or at all limited to TMAU. This study is focused on ALL odor conditions and PATM that may stem from, or be significantly influenced by what we eat, the environment in which we live that we touch and then touch our food and mouths, and the water we drink.

The primary aim of this research is to provide MEBO'S Scientific Director, Irene Gabashvili, PhD., with very valuable information, and and with assistance from uBiome scientists, to analyze what role gut microbiota has in idiopathic odor and PATM conditions. With greater understanding of the role of gut microbiota, it is hoped that targeted, precision protocols could be developed for the different conditions. Irene and uBiome will then publish their findings in professional journals so that all professionals in the scientific and medical fields will have access to the research findings.  The ultimate aim is so that when a sufferer visits his or her physician with odor/PATM symptoms, proper diagnostic tests are performed resulting in precise medicine treatment. As I noted in my Introductory Letter in this Blog on April 10, 2008,

It is my sincere wish that the outcome of this effort will result in a future commonplace practice of a sufferer going to his or her family doctor anywhere in the world presenting with body odor as his or her primary complaint, that the physician would immediately know what metabolic and/or microbial diagnostic exams are indicated in order to arrive at a speedy diagnosis and treatment plan to control and eliminate body odor.

This grant does not cover international shipping cost of kits and samples. Comparing samples from different countries allow for a greater understanding of diet, environment, which sufferers touch and then touch their food and mouths, and possibly different water treatment. Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps.

Most of us can donate at least $5 a month for this amazing research opportunity.

I totally 100% understand that most sufferers are either unemployed or underemployed. By underemployed I mean find it almost impossible to work in their chosen career due to their condition. It also means that due to the consequences of the condition, current employment is threatened because sufferers may be the first to be laid off from their jobs and that donations are a sacrifice.  It is with everyone's contribution  that we will be able to achieve the MEBO Mission.

I want to thank those who have already donate. Some sufferers donate their time and work to raise awareness by participating in email campaign, Podcasts, and RareDisease Day that MEBO Directors volunteer to spearhead, and others volunteer their time contact universities, hospitals, and laboratories in their community/country pursuing research and testing. And others volunteer their personal test results to our experts for research. We are all volunteers in MEBO, and each in his or her own way. We just need to ask ourselves HOW we can contribute, and not whether we will contribute at all. Together, we can make a huge difference for ourselves and future generations!

This is NOT a TMAU test, or at all limited to TMAU. This study is focused on ALL odor conditions and PATM that may stem from, or be significantly influenced by what we eat, the environment in which we live that we touch and then touch our food and mouths, and the water we drink. MEBO has always been very cognizant and focused on the fact that 70% of sufferers who do the test get negative results for TMAU. For this very reason, MEBO continues to pursue research opportunities to discover, identify, and classify new odor/PATM conditions. Only then can targeted treatment be developed - even with diet alone (hopefully).

At this time, the 70% who get negative results for TMAU and whose doctors can't figure out the cause of their odor condition, have to focus all their attention on cleansing out of their bodies all the odorous chemicals. Then come the huge guessing game - diet and supplements. This research addresses the guessing game by seeking to identify the cause of each individual odor/PATM condition to develop targeted protocols.
