As mentioned in the previous newsletter, this month we will go deeper into the book by Dr. Richard Frye, The Folate Fix. Now that you are familiar with CFD, cerebral folate deficiency, we will now discuss how to diagnose it and how to treat it. Additionally, I will explain Tylenol's link to this diagnosis. If you want to refresh the information from Part 1, click here.

This newsletter is about a book written by Dr. Richard Frye, a medical doctor who also has a PhD in Physiology and Biophysics along with a master’s degree in biomedical science and biostatistics. He has authored more than three hundred peer reviewed articles, and along with board certifications in pediatrics and neurology he is a national leader in autism research. I will attempt to summarize his work over two newsletters.

Since the 1990s, creatine supplementation has been hailed as a shortcut to improving or recovering from physical demands on our body. Most studies concentrated on improvements with athletic performance or recovery. Creatine is formed in our bodies from three amino acids, methionine, arginine, and glycine, all of which can be found in any animal protein source that we consume. Creatine is made from these three amino acids in the liver, but also to a lesser extent the kidneys and pancreas also make creatine and store it in the form of phosphocreatine. It is the phosphocreatine compound donating the P to convert ADP to ATP, the primary energy carrier within the mitochondria that is showing many more health benefits than previously imagined with creatine supplementation.
