As a christian I am also surprised by the lack of sympathy in chritian communities. I have not been officially diagnosed but seem to have this problem.I feel like writing an article for a women`s magazine. It would probably describe the disease as the `new leprosy`. With other problems, there is sympathy. With TMAU,there is condemnation, ostracism and criticism.
I am trying to understand what might be the spiritual roots of this curse.

The two things I have come up with are fear and generational adultery.
Fear paralyzes our organs and might

stop or inhibit the production of enzymes. Adultery is punished by disease of the liver (Proverbs)and FMO is produced by the liver.

i was so upset after reading Annabeth’s story!
i could not believe that people would actually have the nerve and be so dark to another human being. But then after reading Ted’s response it became clear to me:
i was doing the same thing to myself. i believed my own negative hurtful thoughts and insecurities; i was letting it take root and begin to wonder how i was of any importance to the people close to me and would i be of any to those i have never met.

i forgot how special i am to the world and to the world around me, i am loved.

i am loved by people like Anabeth; whose story has saved mine.

So thank you Annabeth, for posting your story. you are loved.
