High dose folic acid and gastric carcinogenesis in beagles

As more and more research piles on, Vitamin B12 and folic acid are arising as some of the most incredibly important nutrients in health and disease. Affecting heart disease, neurological disorders (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s..), fertility and spontaneous abortions, cervical cancer and now colon cancer. This list just goes on and on. The sad part is that both of these nutrients are sadly deficient in today’s lifestyle. Refined carbs, avoidance of fruits and veggies and poor digestion all work together to create deficiencies. Then, to make matters more complicated, about 25% of the population has a genetic defect in the MHTFR gene that requires high levels of folic acid. I have seen many weird neurological disorders (numbness, tingling, tinnitus, “dancing feet” and weakness) respond remarkably to high dose B12 and folic acid. It’s cheap, easy to take, and good luck finding adverse effects.
