I've been to the ORS Wikipedia page. Psychologists have gone to intricate details in coming up with terminologies to describe their fairytale disease. They have methodically categorized PATMERS and TMAU patients according to their beliefs of how their mythical disease should span out...lol. They've even put psychotherapy yields the highest rate of response to treatment and put percentages and statistics on the success rates...hahaha. Has anyone got treated by these fairy treatments? Amazing?
Here is the definition of TMAU2 from the Mebo research website. I'm not surprised with why the results from the clinical research of PATM was similar. Perhaps the difference could be the microbial strains or level of permeability in the gut or location on the gut. That's a mystery for the researchers to deal with.
" Secondary Trimethylaminura (TMAU2) is an acquired form of TMAU usually involving an overproduction of TMA by gut flora in a patient with normal FMO3 function (i.e. does not have an FMO3 deficiency). Experts believe that TMAU2 from overproduction of TMA by bacterial overgrowth in the gut can be experienced for many years, but if the correct antibiotic therapy is applied, it can be cured by eradication of the bacteria responsible, though the bacterial overgrowth tends to return. Secondary TMAU, or TMAU2, has been recognized for many years, particularly in the UK, although much of the TMAU interest has been in the inherited metabolic disorder FMO3 deficiency, TMAU1."
We don't really put off an odor like TMAU though, it's invisible smell if i would describe it but more like bacteria clouds. Doctors didn't believe TMAU existed either. I have hyperhidrosis, anxiety and I believe a few others have that as well, along with "leaky gut" i think this plays into it. Why we fog up car windows, why it's stuffy in here, etc. Up until recently it wasn't a problem for me almost 2 years now since it has been. I feel like it's gotten better but still is there, not sure if it's because of the changes I've made to avoid large enclosed open spaces or the home remedies we have been given. What's weird is it's not everybody it can be like 1 in 5 or 3 in 5, but there are people who don't sneeze or grunt, or one's that sneeze and others that clear throats. Recently it's been sneezes for me lot less throat clears, but like when you can pick out the people who are most affected it's so obvious to observe. I started joking with them "I've seen doctors they don't believe me" but they ignore the comments, LOL. I've had several people leave the movie i'm watching at the theaters because it bothered them too much.
