Dr. Kane’s primary interest is in fatty acids, nutritional biochemistry, cell membrane function and neurological disturbances, and has a long standing interest in the challenging areas of seizure disorders, autism, traumatic brain injury, MS, ALS, Parkinson’s, CFIDS, and heavy metal toxicity. Her dedication and success in working with children and adults with fragile brain architecture and patients with challenging neurological problems has brought her widespread recognition in the field of nutritional biochemistry.
Dr. Kane works with doctors across the country addressing complex metabolic disorders and lipid disturbances with targeted nutritional intervention.

Questions on BodyBio Folinic Acid
- what should i do? at 1/16/12 1:50 PM
- I am in Australia and very confused my tests came back positive for one of both mutations , my GP who is very open just said dont stress too much about it and recommended I take folinic acid which I have been taking but after investigating further. The mutation is a little more serious than "dont stress over it" . I looked a the treatment recommended on Dr Jones Kids website and was just about to order the suggested supplements but wondering what your recommendations are. I am good with my diet, a good weight but do struggle with low gluthatione levels and nausea most mornings and my hormones are a mess which is being treated with bio identical hormones ... I feel that if my liver is not working properly then the hormone / body balance is going to struggle.
What is your recommendation for this mutation? Many thanks for your time and thanks for putting yourself out there to help others .. God Bless.
- Hello - The compound heterozygous MTHFR mutation demands the use of methylfolate - not folinic acid. You are absolutely right: It is more serious than 'don't stress over it and take folinic acid' - both recommendations are not serving you well. I cannot safely make any recommendations without consulting with you first. Given the complexity of your MTHFR mutation plus nausea, hormonal imbalance and low glutathione levels, it is best that you and I talk first. I recommend scheduling a one hour consult this week or next so we can develop an individualized plan. http://www.healthegoods.com/consult.html I perform the consults through Skype and have clients worldwide. In health, Dr Ben
