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.
Thank you Dr.Sam. I suffered 6 miscarriages between 1997 & 2001, I heavily suspect it was from the prenatal vitamins I was taking. One RX & the other OTC ( USA ). When I stopped taking them I had 2 beautiful babies.
If the WHO wants everyone to take it and they start putting it in things we all ingest, then you KNOW it's red flag and they're up to their old tricks. Not to mention that we can no longer trust their data releases anyway, as they've proved themselves to be liars when it comes to getting us to do what they want us to.
The only wheat I use is ancient Einkorn (you can order it from jovialfoods.com). It's important to note that modern wheat is a freakshow minefield, even if you buy organic. Modern wheat has been extensively manipulated, and was also the first GMO. They 'created' it using radiation bombardment back around the 1950s to have much more protein / gluten. Add in the modern problems of Roundup contamination and everything else, and I just avoid anything made of wheat except what I make myself from organic Einkorn. Also learn to ferment it and make sourdough-- it's fun and makes it even more healthy (and gets rid of most of the gluten, if that is a concern).
Yes, I guess the scam is becoming more visibly extensive-- remember the 'Zika virus' hysteria a few years pre-'covid'? Neural tube defects started occurring in South America and (of course) it had to be caused by a 'virus' rather than the pesticides the government had been dumping in the water supply. I guess another arm of this poison coverup is instead blaming a 'vitamin deficiency' -- which might actually be true, but instead of meeting nutritional needs properly, they force feed everyone some other synthetic toxic junk. So whether they are injecting you with poison or feeding you poison, the root of the problem remains and people get even sicker. Quite a system these people have created!
I wonder what the source of the synthetic folic acid is? It would not surprise me at all to find out that (like Fluoride) it is some waste-product of some industry that is cheaper to put into the food supply rather than dispose of 'safely.'
Yep I like to keep it simple: good quality (spray free) meats and veg - good water and a barefoot stroll in the sunshine - not sure about quoting data/statistics - once upon a time some information 'sources' were reasonably reliable but since the great Kovacks fraud it it ever more apparent that figures are fudged for fun and finance.... thank you Team Sam
I was a bit disappointed there is no mention in the video of folic acid masking B12 deficiency. This can be an apparently genuine problem with the elderly population and seems well discussed in the following:
You seem to be falling into the reductionist, mechanistic approach of western "science". How do you know B12 actually exists in the way that is claimed in a living human? Right, you don't. No one has ever shown this.
Talk about reductionist science! I started reading your linked article and my first response was, "Jeez, after all the chemical futzing around w/ these cells how can you say anything that results is how it really is in a living (un-futzed-with) cell? And reading on, it appears the author had the same conclusion!
The fact that you are talking about proving that something does not exist shows me you don't have a clue how the scientific method works. You cannot prove a negative.
I am inclined to believe our collective approach to genuine good health is slightly parochial. Recommendations really do need to cover the market realities of readership. Ergo, brands as these appear on shelfs in NZ and Australia. It should also be recognised that readers may hail from Otago or Tasmania in the south, or tropical Kimberly, NT, or North Queensland.
This is not only practical application 101, it recognises that the future of both nations will depend upon Australians delivering on south Pacific sovereignty. As we speak, step one has yet to be contemplated, let alone launched in even stumbling hopefulness.
But some of us are working on this and keeping us healthy seems like a good idea.
I very much liked your "market realities of readership," as the adjacent comment was from someone quite wisely urging the purchase of einkorn wheat but saying "you," the reader, "you," the purchaser, you can by it here [a link]. Maybe, this time. Unlikely, but you never know. People here at the 43rd parallel north are stuck on the wrong side of a paywall called the American border, and "we" have long since given up believing we're in the "you" of "you can order it." Sometimes the you is me but usually it's them. I got no problem with trans people's pronouns--it's purchaser/buyer pronouns giving me the willies. You've nicely offered an excellent word for such versions of "you"--parochial.
When keto guru Mark Sisson lived in California, he used to pop into the local corporate grocery stores and routinely cull cheap free-range organic of the sort that Canadians could only dream of. staring into the depths of their unrecyclable Tim Hortons cups. Canada's a failed state, so my culling tends to be twenty-to-thirty plants from roadside stands, or as I call these stands: "weeds."
To obtain the full value of my market-realities comment, add oceans as necessary.
I'd happily pay twice as much as Americans pay for einkorn (north of the paywall we pay that for all food)...IF I believed it was really untainted einkorn.
Good points... I honestly don't know if the place I linked to ships internationally (yes, I'm in the US). But they import the einkorn grains from Italy, so, I suppose it could be imported by other countries as well. And yes, that is a long supply chain that could easily be snapped, and it's the opposite of 'locally grown.' But at least it's an option... Einkorn almost ceased to exist because the horrible industrial 'food' system replaced all those 'old' grains with the modern 'high yield' garbage. Some small place in Italy was the last place growing this stuff. That's something to be thankful for, that it survived. Anyone who wants to grow wheat and could manage to get a bag of einkorn berries could start growing their own and selling it to people who want to buy it locally... Wheat is seeds, after all. As for 'untainted' well, I agree that it's hard to trust anything ('USDA Organic' for example). Corruption and fraud abounds. But I have some trust in the people who source and import this einkorn, so that's all I can say, and I know one company that sources einkorn from them also tests it for Roundup contamination at least. But does anyone test a food for every possible pesticide and contaminant? I'm just saying it's the best option I know of right now. And if this was not an option, I would probably just not eat wheat at all. But if you know someone who farms wheat, and could convince them to try growing some organic einkorn, and sell it locally... I mean, it could become a local option.
It’s not shipped internationally from the Italian company, I’ve tried for years and ended up finding a company in Uk - for Ireland, even though we are in EU, many euro countries don’t ship to us.
Very droll, David LOL. But you really chase us down to the bottom line with "...if it was untainted...". Sadly, apart from those who submit their accalaimed product to the analysis of people like Texas Freedom Fighter Mike Adams, who pretty mush oozes integrity, it;'s all a bit like trusting Bill Gates. We need a new Peoples' Quality Guarantee, in the form of an armed militia repleat with Mad Max uniforms, willing to grenade and napalm transgressors. I am sorry, possoms, but WWIII has kinda worn off my soft and fluffiness.
I heard vitamin D3 is actually cholecalciferol, which is the active ingredient in rat poison. I don't understand how that chemical can be essential to the body.
As Paracelsus said hundreds of years ago, it is not the substance which is a poison, it is the amount. Too much of anything will be harmful - too little of the same anything can also be harmful.
Cholecalciferol is a genuine vitamin which, if taken persistently and deliberately to excess, will cause problems. We are not rats. If we stop taking the overdose, normal service will be resumed. Rats don't get the choice.
At least 30 minutes of morning sunshine directly on skin works for me! I get 30 minutes of 'earthing', direct connection of bare feet with earth at the same time. See https://intuition-physician.com/ for more grounding info.
Thank you!! I sleep with a grounding mat every night and absolutely love it. It's been hard to get sun because the weather has been uncharacteristically different this year. Not sure why... 🙄🙄🙄
Hi Zenlë, it's always nice to see the eyeballs on top of your ë popping into view.
Yeah, word on the street is Vitamin D is rat poison, and I have no reason to doubt the street.
My dad took rat poison in his late eighties for his heart, and the second time he died it killed him. True story. He went around telling everyone that he was taking rat poison and we shared a few laughs about it and basically he died laughing.
The proper way to get Vitamin D--and you'll recall, Zenlë, that I'm a real doctor--is to let your cat or your dog stay out in the sunlight for at least fifteen minutes and then lick your animal. That way you can tell that you got your Vitamin D from the right sun. A bit of rat poison won't kill you, but I prefer sunlight.
As usual, thanks for this, Sam. Perhaps the most frustrating thing with our food supply is that once you identify one problem, you encounter a cascade of others, leaving you with only one option: grow your own food or work within a community to grow and supply your own food. In the instance with leafy greens, many have recently made the list of most pesticide-contaminated, especially kale, collards, and chard. I used to eat plenty, but now I don't know where to source these.
Great subject choice. A tip for those fellow NZ'rs out there wanting (cheap) High Grade flour without folic acid added; Edmonds brand doesn't include it.
As she said, we are all in a first generation experiment. Thank you for this video. We are living in very exciting, but very dangerous times. Brought to us by our own trusted industries and regulatory institutions.
Dr Sam, You are such a bright light in this world. Thank you for sharing your Self -- your inner and outer beauty, compassion, wisdom, heart -- it's very inspiring. ❤️
Beef liver and leafy greens are high in retinoids, which are dangerous to developing fetuses (and everyone else). They should be avoided by everyone, but especially pregnant women.
Speaking of being careful what you eat, I eat a lot of flowers although I wouldn't know a tiger lily from a ditch lily, but there's something beautiful all along our neighbors' trailer. Our neighbors were like: those damn things are invasive.
Thank you Dr.Sam. I suffered 6 miscarriages between 1997 & 2001, I heavily suspect it was from the prenatal vitamins I was taking. One RX & the other OTC ( USA ). When I stopped taking them I had 2 beautiful babies.

Amen !
"figures fudged for fun and finance"
alliteration noted and appreciated
Yep frolicking with the folic thing - while zapping with the zeitgeist - playing with words my second favourite (spelt with a 'u') trivial pursuit
okay, I’ll bite. The first favorite? Okay, the first favourite?
Oman - if I told you I'd have to shoot the piano player
I walked right into that ambush.
Full folly of folic could do in a pinch.
Try saying that 3 times fast!
that that that
LOL Good one!
I just write the lyrics. I'm not the singer.
Don't shoot me I'm only the piano player
Thank-you for this. I’m already using this quotation in my daily life.
Even better - NO VEGGIES
Wot about the roughage?
I was a bit disappointed there is no mention in the video of folic acid masking B12 deficiency. This can be an apparently genuine problem with the elderly population and seems well discussed in the following:
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/proceedings-of-the-nutrition-society/article/folate-and-vitamin-b12-friendly-or-enemy-nutrients-for-the-elderly/D8C38CD6D49977957C5B098623459519
I opposed the widespread fortification of foods with folic acid in the UK when it was "open" for consultation for this very reason, amongst others.
It was a long time ago (and I happily confess to not being fully up to date) but remain unaware of a robust dismissal of these concerns.
It should be noted 5-methylTHF is available as the nature-identical alternative to folic acid but is prohibitively expensive.
You seem to be falling into the reductionist, mechanistic approach of western "science". How do you know B12 actually exists in the way that is claimed in a living human? Right, you don't. No one has ever shown this.
Here's an article to hopefully get you thinking:
https://criticalcheck.wordpress.com/2021/12/15/dna-discovery-extraction-and-structure-a-critical-review/.
Talk about reductionist science! I started reading your linked article and my first response was, "Jeez, after all the chemical futzing around w/ these cells how can you say anything that results is how it really is in a living (un-futzed-with) cell? And reading on, it appears the author had the same conclusion!
Questioning the validity of DNA knowledge has literally nothing to do with the existence of B12.
Do you have any evidence B12 doesn't exist?
The fact that you are talking about proving that something does not exist shows me you don't have a clue how the scientific method works. You cannot prove a negative.
Look into how B12 was "discovered", by various tricks and manipulations, you may want to read up on this, for example https://www.acs.org/education/whatischemistry/landmarks/vitamin-b-complex.html#discovery-of-cobalamin.
And on the DNA comment: I made that comment to get you in critical thinking mode, but that obviously had not worked (yet). Good luck.
Oh, and there is a nobel prize involved in B12 (and lo and behold, in DNA too) - a major red flag. But I guess you won't believe that (yet).
You're funnier than Dr Thor thinks he is.
Typical comment for someone who has a long way to go. Bon voyage.
Typical comment from someone who thinks he's already arrived.
Wise men realise the more they know the less they know. Think about it. I'll draw you a little diagram if it helps.
She doesn't believe in masking.
Why do you say this?
I thought the Bailey's were beyond belief systems. Isn't this their raison d'etre?
Except when it comes to the believe in a Creator.
It’s a pun…
Thank you for the insight into folate vs folic acid.
I suspect folate probably has other effects our bodies need.
I am inclined to believe our collective approach to genuine good health is slightly parochial. Recommendations really do need to cover the market realities of readership. Ergo, brands as these appear on shelfs in NZ and Australia. It should also be recognised that readers may hail from Otago or Tasmania in the south, or tropical Kimberly, NT, or North Queensland.

A small greenhouse would be grand -- where you can grow all year, and chemtrail fall-out can be blocked.
Thankyou for making us aware of this. I was given folic acid tablets for all three of my pregnancies 26 to 30 years ago!!!!
Me too ...
