Understanding Cerebral Folate Deficiency

In this video, Dr. Monika Buerger, with over 30 years of experience in neurodevelopment, explains cerebral folate deficiency, a condition where the brain lacks folate despite normal blood levels. She covers symptoms such as psychomotor delays and movement disorders, and discusses factors like cow’s milk and mitochondrial disorders. Dr. Buerger emphasizes the importance of high-dose folinic acid supplementation (Leucovorin) approved by the FDA for autism treatment. Additionally, she highlights the role of vitamin A and the necessity for practitioners to be well-informed through certifications like the Foundations of Neurodevelopmental course provided by the Academy of Neurodevelopmental Practices.
