NEWBORN testing for MTHFR

40-60% of the general population has a defective gene called MTHFR, and doesn’t know it. This gene is one of many, that is involved in the methylation cycles that essentially runs the body and ultimately produces ATP for the mitochondria of every cell throughout the body, that keeps that cell alive and ultimately the organ that it is located in.
This gene when defective does not allow the body to covert folic acid into folate that the body needs in the methylation cycles, and when the folate cycle is stopped because one cannot convert, it stops all the other cycles from functioning too. Think of these cycles as wheels with teeth, when one stops they all stop. Over time, when the body cannot convert, and the back channels that God gave us become exhausted, the body then develops disease and death. The government knowingly has been adding folic acid /enriching foods and causing disease, to drive the corrupt pharmaceutical and medical corporations. Please stop this!

The methylation cycles also plays a major role in detoxing the body. Toxins create inflammation and all diseases start with inflammation. So, now you can see the importance of this major gene. When you can’t detox the mercury etc in vaccines, or carcinogens in the food, air, cosmetics etc, you get disease that just drives up healthcare cost and premature death.

As a nurse, working in obstetrics for years, I would like to see this gene tested for at birth, like all the other genetic testing done on a newborn. If parents were educated from day one, and knew that their baby possessed this MTHFR (“mother fucker” just like it looks) gene,  they could develop better lifestyle choices for that child from day one, and create in him, less sickness and ultimately a longer life span too.  

And yes, prenatal vitamins need to contain some format of folic acid to prevent neural defects in the fetus, so test mothers at first to know their status and how to prescribe, or better yet, just create a prenatal vitamin that contains methyl folate instead of folic acid. Do you know how many spina bifida, hydrocephalic babies could be saved!!

The most frustrating aspect of all this, is finding in todays world, a physician who even knows the ramifications of all this. Since the Rockfellers with their oil, invested in pharmaceuticals and then poured money into the medical educational system, doctors are not educated to prevent disease. Instead they are educated to diagnose and slap a pharmaceutical on the problem. That is back-ass ward! But in their world, right up their alley.

And for heaven’s sake, please quit giving newborns on day one, the HepB poison shot and baby formula that contains folic acid, since you don’t know if the newborn has MTHFR. Better yet, ban all the poison laden vaccines that are causing major neurological/ Autistic symptoms in kids.
It’s a disgrace what they have been doing to mankind. Thank you !

While we’re at it, we should test all newborns for G6PD deficiency. This genetic deficiency disease is prevalent throughout the Malaria Belt countries of the world. So anyone of Mediterranean, African, South Asian genetics can either have it or be a silent carrier. With this deficiency, eating BEANS can kill you with hemolytic anemia. The anemia need not be acute. If it’s chronic, it will foster other health problems while remaining undetected. Vegans/vegetarians should definitely be tested.

I have never heard of this, but absolutely !!! Any testing from day one, I think should be done to foster better health for the newborn. The corrupt system has poisoned/ Damaged us all and changed our DNA for generations that any help we can get is a positive. thanks for enlightening the world.

I found out the hard way about MTHFR and the Folate supplement given while I was trying to get pregnant. For four months, I was poisoned. Thank you for adding this topic. The defect in my gene prevented my body from methylating the folate supplement (although they could have tested it and given out the methylated version).

I could have committed suicide or aborted my child due to a mental breakdown during the first three months of my pregnancy. I blamed it on the pregnancy. I had nightmares of childhood and was suicidally depressed. I wanted to walk away from the career that I had always loved. I no longer wanted to be married to my soul mate. I was so low that I honestly had no idea how I would find myself out of the darkness. I am positive my infant had the same defect and, of course, was having problems with formula and water on the brain. He had seizures at 9 months and was diagnosed with hydrocephalus.

There is a simple fix for this, and it upsets me to know I could have lost my precious boy that I prayed for because of medical ignorance. Give the gene test and then treat accordingly.

I work as a prescriber in the mental health field and we are testing more for MTHFR genotyping with the genetic tests that are out for medication metabolism…. BUT when someone is found to have this issue, OFTEN INSURANCE WILL NOT COVER l-methylfolate that I want to prescribe!!! Because it is a supplement!!! And most of my patients can’t afford it!!!

So… along with all of this, there should be an affordable way to treat/supplement since it is such a common and treatable issue!!!

I personally sufferred multiple micarriages and struggled to get pregnant as a result of having a gene mutation called MTHFR. My doctor told me to eliminate folic acid and replace with folate and Methylated vitamins and afterwards I had 2 healthy children. Dr Ben Lynch in his book Dirty Genes estimates 40% of the population has MTHFR including men, as a result our bodies cannot process synthetic folic acid.Its like poison and can cause many serious health effects including cardiovascular disease and cancer as our bodies cannot detox. The FDA required that folic acid be added to flour in 1997 to prevent spinal bifida in babies. Why not instead have expecting mothers take a prenatal vitamin with folate(the natural form of folic acid) instead of mass poisioning everyone in our food. Men that have MTHFR are sufferring heart attacks and cardiovascular disease at an alarming rate from the added synthetic folic acid as well.
It is very hard to avoid all enriched products (flour) with it added, including baby formula and I would like to have a choice about what is in my families food. France and Italy do not have this added to their food and report much less bloating and symptoms when eating carbs or flour products and dont have an influx of spinal bifida.
One example is all cereals in the US have been enriched with folic acid and children are sufferring with adhd, brain fog and cant sit still, then we medicate them to “fix” the problem…I believe it starts with correcting the diet.
Even with all the research I have personally done as a person affected by MTHFR, I am no expert, but can clearly see there is a need here for more research to be done on this topic. My gut is telling me the studies may uncover even more side effects and health issues this may cause or uncover the key to mysterious diseases like autoimmune disease.
Please remove the mandates for companies required to add folic acid or require companies use the natutal form of folate instead so it is not harmful for those with MTHFR.
