At least to me.
I wanted to do a trial of Folic Acid and knew it might be impossible to evaluate the effects as it is summer and I am able to improve by what I do physically and I have more healing energy as I am not using energy to deal with the difficulty caused by the winter weather.
I understand that when reducing or eliminating a supplement it is much harder to evaluate the effect than a new supplement or a change.
This is becoming harder and harder as I and my supplementation improve.
So I came up with the concept that when I reduce or eliminate the only rational way for me to evaluate is to wait and then try the supplement of increase at a later time. How long will be a guess.
I can apply this concept to all supplementation.
So I took 1mg of L-Methlfolate in the morning and an hour later slept for 4 hours. Which I take to mean it is effective in combination with my current trial.
I am way past believing anyone knows or I will ever know the positive or negative effects of any supplement at any dose. Nothing for it.
Having studied now for 3 years and 7 months I am more able to confidently decide what I want to do. There are 'tells' when someone is a Rosque Rules and is parsing information to meet their predetermined understanding. I now discount anyone who uses rhetorical arguments. Which is the majority.
I understand I do not understand and no one else does either.
I fear not living my life the way I prefer rather than conform to others fears just because they may be correct.
I also am wary of those that assume what is right for them is bestest. I would never let medicial personnel determine what is satisfactory at no risk to them.
I am a certified soil scientist and wetland scientist and am licenced to determine a legal wetland line. 90+- % of those licenced are what I call upland scientist. When they establish a wetland line it is really a line that could not possibly be a wetland as they are fearful of having to defend their delineation. I am not fearful although I may be proven to be incorrect. That is part of being a professional for me. Same training.
So after 5 days I will try a trial of 1mg twice a day.
