If you read at the beginning "Background" you will see the prevalence of certain mitochondrial mutations in Australia, is quite high. People carrying these mutations, if they do come down with the disease, don't necessarily manifest ALL of the associated symptoms. Fascinating & complex!At the bottom of the link it had a case study of a 30y/o male with mito dysfunction, it didnt mention much about treatment, looks like they investigate if its affecting other organs and treat as such as well as life style adjustments, which sounds like another way of pacing.
Other articles i have read on this disorder mention q10, carnitine etc to treat this disorder but doesnt say how effective it is. Interesting how it can be induced by a pathogen/infection.
Hi allyb,Shell,
Have you seen this interview with Sarah Myhill, she talks about Mitochondrial dysfunction and the tests she does here in the UK, I think you can order them from her web-site.
