MELAS Syndrome

[Donna Abernathy]

It is on a list I have from NORD - National Organization for Rare Disorders.
PO Box 8923    New Fairfield, CT  06812-8923. No phone is listed.
It says you can access them through CompuServe and typing "GO NORD"
I hope this helps.

Have you tried Merck Manual of Medical Information - Home Edition ?
 is now available free and online. It is written in commonly used English.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone have any nutrition information related to MELAS Syndrome? I
am a Dietetic Intern working on a case study. Do these patients require
special diets, if so, what type? Is there any literature that deals
specifically w/nutrition for MELAS patients? I have searched the web,
with no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Lisa Franco
