Fortunately our supply of wild folics is not endangered as the run free and wild

across the great expanse of the Russian tundra, so there's enough acid available

for all who need it. I've never actually seen a " wild " folic but I'm told they

are very small and hard to catch. It must be mind boggling to collect that much

acid.

A consensus for folic acid or folinic acid dosing or administration

does not exist, and the decision to initiate supplementation is

physician-dependent . Folate supplementation may reduce low-dose MTX

adverse effects and prevent earlier discontinuation of therapy,

potentially allowing for a more durable response to MTX. Clinicians

should consider that folic acid supplementation may have the

additional benefit of cardiovascular protection[11] due to its ability

to prevent MTX-induced hyperhomocysteinemi a.[2,11]

Oddly, the wild folics left the UK over 230 years ago, it's one of histories

mysterys, so you probably haven't seen any. It happened around 1774 when the

song " London Bridge is Falling Down " was very popular and finally put into

print. Some historians believe they were really annoyed with the song being put

into print, but I believe they just really really hated that song. Since folics

are very stubborn in their natural habitat I doubt you'll ever see them come

back. What's weird though is that they are huge fans of Noone!

Stan,

Seattle, Cloudy and rainy.
