I wouldn't assume that silence equals you being right and the others wrong.
It has more to do with the futility of arguing with a fool.

HTH, HAND.

I also have the feeling that Mr. Meggs hasn't thought of the kill-file
factor.

What's funny is the idea that any of those three need or want people
rushing in to defend them. Aside from that, what they said makes a
lot more sense than what MAM dredged up from the internet.

Even better, the OP read what they had to say and it seems like
he doesn't need defending, either.

To previous poster: Been doing biochemical research for years LOL.
Thanks for the advice...

That's it exactly. A diet completely free of natural folates (which
would be indicated if someone was *genuinely* allergic) would be quite
difficult and probably result in malnutrition fairly quickly.

Someone who is allergic to any essential nutrient would be ill all the
time, not just after eating something with a synthetic form in it.

Is there still time for me ridicule, too? I hate being left out of
a good kook-flame.

Clearly nor do the people at Mayo. the "-osis" is a suffix that means a
chronic condition of the kind associated with the prefix and stem of the
word. They use it when they don't know what causes a condition but they
know there is such a condition. Sorry to hear about your condition. Live
life to the fullest until then.
