Gads, how mortifying!  Nitrous oxide is indeed N2O.  And to think I used
to be a chemistry student.

I was planning on 4 to 5 mg of folic acid for my wife.  I do plan to try
to get a prescription for pills of that magnitude (if they are available)
when she returns from a month-long trip to exotic Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  But
one source told me that 1 mg is the max now, and since I can buy .8 mg in
the store that's not likely to save much money.

I found the N2O/B-12 reference in a used bookstore (Powell's), but since the
book was ~$20 I didn't buy it.  I'll look for it next time I'm there.  It was
fairly recent (1983?) and quite well written.
