Go argue with rthe doctor - she insisted folic acid's the only nutrient that could be in short supply. And even though our multi contained folic acid, didn't count unless it was her special supplement.

There is no certainty that

There is no certainty that herbal medications available OTC actually contain what is on the label. Because these compounds are not considered drugs, there are no confirmatory tests to verify content.

Folate is not the only chemical that the body does not supply. There are others like the so called essential amino acids that are not manufactured by the human body.

Interesting - I had a brief dialog with her a while back, knew her only as amazingly successful & innovative, no idea of the flipside of her existence. Then again, I live next door to someone quite well known, and few would realize due to a variety of circumstances he's neither wealthy nor comfortable - others have profited greatly from his fame & work, but his existence is on a shoestring.

I'm also reminded when we went for prenatal checkups, the only vitamin the doctor acknowledged as useful was folic acid. Amazing - the body consisting of what, hundreds or thousands of chemicals, yet somehow nature is assured of giving us every single one except folic acid.

One of my family members spent a year trying to track down an exact cause for a particular affliction. There a number of diagnoses that might overlap as to symptoms - or might be some new different disease from what's known - but treatments might be vastly different (or non-existent). While patients/sufferers may not likely be endowed enough to self-medicate, more and more we all have more time & capacity for research than the typical doctor, and empowering people to help take care of themselves should rather be a right more basic than euthanasia (not that I'm against euthanasia - it's just an edge condition rather than a mid-point).

Perhaps at some point education will evolve to realize we usually work & live for ourselves and only tangentially for others, and modify skillsets & educational methods to support this balance - say 75% for self-sustainment, 25% for otherness. At that point, which is more important, math or yoga?
