Someone has kindly uploaded the recent Mystery Diagnosis case about trimethylaminuria featuring Cheryl Marshall, who founded the NORD Trimethylaminuria Fund. It cannot be understated how grateful we are to Cheryl for bravely appearing on national TV, and for the person who uploaded it to youtube for enabling worldwide viewing of the episode. Thank you both very much.

About the NORD Trimethylaminuria Fund :
NORD (National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.) is a U.S. national charity that was formed in 1983 by the individuals and organizations who supported the Orphan Drug Act, an important piece of legislation that provides incentives to encourage the development of new treatments for rare disorders. A TMAU sufferer, Cheryl Marshall, set up the TMAU fund. The purpose of the fund is to collect donations that will be used solely towards research into TMAU. When the balance of the fund reaches $35,000 tax deductible contributions, the process of issuing a Request for Research Proposals from research scientists or investigators in the field of TMAU can begin; thus triggering further funding from NIH to set in motion an 'official' research. It is possible to donate online.
NORD provides accurate, reliable information and is a strong voice in advocating for needed research and improved treatments. Every month NORD provides a running list of the funds along with the total amount donated in their UPDATE newsletter.
