It's speculated that cesarian births do not get exposure the the mother's vaginal flora and their microbiome does not get properly seeded.

I wonder if manually exposing the child to the mother's flora would be of any benefit.

One thing I have recently become aware of, after my doctor ordered a test, is checking for mutations in the MTHFR gene. It's an enzyme which deals with how we process folate into its active form and is important in many pathways

Supposedly the C677T mutation increases your risk for heart disease. There is also another one, A1298C that is very common but no consensus on how it may effect health. I also matters whether you you have one or two copies of the mutations.

Some recommend supplementing with methylated B vitamins to offset the any negative health effects, but I'm still soaking this in and am not sure what the consensus is it yet.

There was ticker on their site that must of reset this morning. They say need to get $850k per quarter in order to keep re-seller account and the low prices. They are selling 0% margin in order to promote bitcoin and get the competition, newegg and amazon to accept it as well.

They didn't make the goal but were not open the whole quarter so they may still be able to continue. I'll see if they post news or press release about it
