 Folic acid is converted by the body into DHFR (DiHydro-Folate Reductase), which can be used by parasitic bacteria to form the nucleic acids, which are at the basis of their survival and reproductive cycles. Folic acid is converted by the body into DHFR (DiHydro-Folate Reductase), which can be used by parasitic bacteria to form the nucleic acids, which are at the basis of their survival and reproductive cycles.
  
-So important is folic acid to the growth of bacteria that many therapies for infections slow disease progress by blocking activity of folic acid. A conventional treatment for sarcoidosis confirms that folic acid does indeed affect the activity of L-form bacteria. Some patients with sarcoidosis are prescribed [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methotrexate|methotrexate (MTX)]], a drug that temporarily slows progression of the disease by blocking the [[http://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/mayer/antibiot.htm|activity of folic acid]] and subsequently the activity of DHFR. Another drug that blocks the activity of DHFR is the antibiotic Trimethoprim, which is used to create the drug Bactrim. The antibiotic Bactrim was formerly used as part of the Marshall Protocol.+So important is folic acid to the growth of bacteria that many therapies for infections slow disease progress by blocking activity of folic acid.

 <blockquote>It is commonly accepted that bacteria synthesize all their DiHydro-Folate directly and do not require folic acid in order to generate the nucleic acids (for DNA and RNA and protein transcription). <blockquote>It is commonly accepted that bacteria synthesize all their DiHydro-Folate directly and do not require folic acid in order to generate the nucleic acids (for DNA and RNA and protein transcription).

 The conclusions expressed in these studies and reviews are consistent with the contention that supplemental folic acid is most harmful for people who are older and presumably have higher microbial loads. The conclusions expressed in these studies and reviews are consistent with the contention that supplemental folic acid is most harmful for people who are older and presumably have higher microbial loads.
