What You Should Know About Folic Acid
Folic acid is something that we all need to know about. Many countries have mandatory “fortification” programs and most of us ingest it without too much thought
It has been presented by the World Health Organisation and their associates as a “win-win” for the public due to the purported prevention of neural tube defects such as spina bifida.
This video (in the source document – Ed) investigates some of the pivotal papers that were used as the evidence for folic acid supplementation for pregnant women and then entire populations.
We examine what the real world data shows and why some of the numbers do not stack up.
Additionally, the folic acid they are putting in these products is not the same as the folate that has been depleted from our food in the first place.
What are the implications of constant exposure to synthetic compounds and what can you do to remedy the situation today?

The book Terrain Therapy also outlines how to achieve your best health through right thinking and right living.
It includes an outline of how our diets have been corrupted and what you can do to put everything back on track.

“Additionally, the folic acid they are putting in these products is not the same as the folate that has been depleted from our food in the first place.”
Folic acid aids in Vitamin absorption and is commonly prescribed to people taking immunosuppressants and/or cancer therapy.
Usage to counter side effects. Without the folic acid, the EMF induced inhibition of intracellular superoxide dismutase and glutathione would increase, thus opening the door to early onset cataracts and neural degeneration. They love calcium signaling.

Folate and folic acid are identical. In low pH, folic acid, in high pH, folate.ions. It’s a joke that they are different. Stomach acid converts it all to folic acid, at pH 1, very acidic. Then, as it enters circulation it is converted to folate at pH 8.4, which is basic.
