I think I have it now. The lactoferrin is available to the blood and liver, but it is also available to any pathogens that might be there.

dbkita, How was your manganese on the hair analysis? In general, are the RBC and hair results similar?I have been on 3 x 150 mcg for six months and my molybdenum RBC values are still way below normal. Hair analysis done a few months ago also showed very low. Mo clearly reduces reflux and certain pain patterns that would be commensurate with sulfite issues.
At the same time I just found out that my manganese levels are tragically low for RBC. Not sure how reliable molybdenum RBC values are but manganese RBC is the definitive measure for that mineral since Mn is the highest in blood cells.
Are iron consuming pathogens more likely to be in the gut than the blood and liver?I think I have it now. The lactoferrin is available to the blood and liver, but it is also available to any pathogens that might be there.
And watch out with molyb. If you take too much for too long, you will cause irreversible damage to yourself.
@caledonia how long did you do the CBS protocol and how do you know when to stop? What's the general consensus or are there tests I should do to ascertain that I can move on? Thank you!Besides what I'm getting in my multi (about 25 or so mcg), I was taking an additional 75mcg while on the CBS protocol. Now that I'm done with CBS, that's dropped to 25mcg. All of those amounts are muscle tested, so that's what my body's telling me it needs.
