This is so exciting. We are getting clues to Davis's research! Biotin deficiency, how interesting. TCA you expect as it makes so much sense, but biotin as a potential biomarker? Awesome.

If I were well enough and able to attend I'd run up and give the man a massive hug, but I'd get kicked off stage :D

Interesting Ron is mentioning trauma and shutdown of mitochondria. Sounds exactly like CDR from Naviaux to me. Which makes so much sense.

Ron Davis has finished. Answering questions about Whitney. Lots of eating difficulties -- needed PICC line. Lots of things haven't worked for him. Had to have biotin via the PICC line. He can't have many things because they aren't sterile, so therefore can't be given.
