Welcome! (or Birth of a Blog)

I hate writing, so it may seem odd to my friends and family that I would start a blog. Part of it was a challenge given me by a friend to put some of my thoughts on the most important subjects in a format that others can benefit from them. We'll see if there's anything worth sharing =).

The name of the blog comes from the fact that a lot of my thoughts revolve around metabolic disorders such as mutations in the methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase enzyme (MTHFR) and the related enzymes methionine synthase (MTR) and methionine synthase reductase (MTRR). These genetic disorders have an interesting effect on the chemistry and physiological development of the brain, so life for someone with these types of disorders is very different from life without them. It's a hobby of mine to study them, and ways to help treat the disorders so that you get all the benefits and none of the liabilities.

Until the next post, have a wonderful day (or at least one that's reasonably decent)!
