Having access to low protein nutrition and food is essential to my overall health but primarily my brain and cognitive function. Particularly, heading toward age range 50+. As a first generation PKU patient, I have sustained brain damage as a result of lack of information when it was discovered in 1966. I was diagnosed at 6 months rather than at birth, then my parents were told that after growth and brain development was told that I would be able to eat a typical diet. The medically modified food needed to live is outrageously unaffordable and the amino acids replacement that PKU patients get there protein from is essential to a meaning life. PKU never goes away and worsens with age and effects relationships, holding employment, causes seizures, depression, anxiety severe brain fog and other cognitive behavioral functions.
