The Basics

Midline defects include tongue tie, cleft lip/palate, sacral dimples/pits, neural tube defects, heart murmurs, tight anal sphincters and other congenital anomolies along the midline. They can be a sign of poor nutrition status, and seem to be associated with food sensitivities. That may be because those same nutrients are also critical for proper detox.
