Freddd,
Could you or someone answer a question about weight gain. My family is following Freddd's protocol and we are gaining weight (between 10-20 lbs). We can tell it's edema but 7,000 mcg of Solgar folate every 3 hours around the clock is not reducing the weight or edema? We were taking Acetyl Carnitine (which worked better for us) but had to stop due to anxiety and increased heart rate. We are taking 5 mg of magnesium glycinate per lb. and all the correct brands/cofactors including B complex that doesn't exceed the levels in B1 B2 and B3 plus taking the other 3 deadlock quartet and sufficient potassium.
What could be causing this or are we missing something? We've been on the protocol for 6 months.
Thanks
