In rats (who metabolize folic acid better than humans), folic acid:

1) reduces MTHFR activity

2) restricts growth in the womb

3) shrinks the memory structures of the brain and impairs memory

4) weakens the immune cells that police viruses and tumours

5) shortens survival after infection and accelerates the growth of tumours that already exist.

This is a good argument for pregnant and soon-to-be-pregnant women to avoid folic acid completely.

Consume folate instead.

Folic acid is NOT a vitamin. It is a toxic chemical that's been marketed as a vitamin.

Imagine if a forever chemical was marketed as a vitamin. Crazy, right?

Well, that's the sorry situation we are in now.

This video explains how folic acid is NOT folate or folinic acid.

If any food package lists folic acid, don't purchase, or if in your home, throw it out. That includes food for pets.

The problem is that folic acid is being put in everything it seems. Some types of Italian pasta don't list it on their packages, so I have to assume it hasn't been put in it. Every wheat product has it and the only way around this that I see is to purchase unfortified flour (1847 is one option) and bake your own bread, etc. Or grind wheat berries into fresh flour.

Pregnant women especially should stay as far away as possible from folic acid. Preg Vit and Materna are garbage vitamins. Avoid.

One supplement brand that Naturopaths like is NFH (a Canadian company), but do your research.

Another source for information on the "science" behind folic acid is Dr Clare Craig in the UK.

“Outside of the kitchen” is the cesarean rate at home and birth center births. It ranges from 5% to 13% in first labors in women and birthing people at similarly low risk to those in the ARRIVE trial, or 6 to 14 fewer cesareans per 100 than the 19% rate reported with routine induction at 39 weeks.

Cannabis plus Adderall = the "psychosis cocktail"

The incidence of bipolar disorder and/or schizophrenia skyrocket with these drugs.

It makes me wonder about women who have a history of either or both and how this may potentially play a role in postpartum psychosis (PP). This is not to create fear - it's more to be watchful and have lots of great support in the weeks after birth.

PP is rare at an incidence of less than 0.89 to 2.6 per 1,000 births.

I did a quick search and while there is a fair bit of research on psychosis and cannabis, there doesn't seem to be any on PP and cannabis. The same for Adderall. This may be more to do with the infrequent incidence of PP.
