UAA test interpretation help?

Messages

Hey all,

In my quest to get to the bottom of this madness I took the UAA and have gotten my results. Yasko put some comments in the margins, but mostly just recommended supplements. I am hoping someone can shed some light. Anyone taken it or can point me to a resource here. I searched for UAA in the forums, but it was a bit overwhelming to weed through all the posts.


Here are the issues that stand out:

HIGH:
Taurine--Like off the charts high.
Anserine--just regular high ;)

LOW:
Amonia
Methionine
Isoleucine
Cysteine
Histadine
Aspartate
Glutamine
Alpha-Amino-N-butyrate

Now, what I think is interesting is that there is a little chart off to the side called "Presumptive Needs," and Need for Folate/B12 is not marked as needed. Now that is exactly what I thought my problems were considering the symptoms and MTHFR markers! This has just confused me more.

Additionally, most of the descriptions I read for the low and high readings all seem to point to a b6 issue, but B6 is also not marked as needed.

Anyone have experience or knowledge of this test?
