" I take a prescription does of Folic Acid, my doc said it helps ward off the side effects of the Methotrexte I take. I have not heard of anyone having environmental arensic in their system, but in reality, it would make sence. Did your doc discuss how to rid your body of it? "

" I take it too! The Dr. never mentioned finding any arsenic in my system, but I do inject Enbrel weekly for my AS. The thing I noticed from it is that my hair & my fingernails began growing like crabgrass! This was wonderful bec in Feb 08, I tried Lyrica for my FM 7 it began making my long hair fall out in clumps. I had to chop my hair into an unflattering short bob with bangs (NOT a good cut for my face). By Feb 10, it'll be back the way it was at this rate. "

" I take it periodically when I remember. I alternate various supplements so my body doesn't get immune to them. "
