    Question for CBS (+/-) or (+/+) people on the Cutler protocol

    If I relied on the all the well meaning doctors, books, websites, blogs and forums I read on detoxification, Lyme, leaky gut, methylation, etc., I can guarantee I would still be going downhill. Not only would I not have received proper treatment but I would not have been correctly diagnosed in...

    Question for CBS (+/-) or (+/+) people on the Cutler protocol

    Contrary to what is stated by many experts, DMSA alone did virtually nothing to reduce my lead levels. Intravenous EDTA knocked it out the best for me. I also found oral DMSA is the best for Mercury chelation, at least for me. DMSA has the strongest affinity for Mercury but a weaker one for...

    Question for CBS (+/-) or (+/+) people on the Cutler protocol

    Don't get me wrong, Dr. James Roberts (Heartfixer) is a good doctor and a good man. I can almost recite his website verbatim on Methyl Cycle NutriGenomics. You will find his writings to be a regurgitation of Dr. Amy Yasko's work with his own twist on heart disease. I have three CBS ++ and +-...

    Thinking about starting a methylation protocol, is this a good one?

    Hello. I am a new poster here but have been lurking in the background for several months. I enjoy the many views and high level of participation by many members on Phoenix Rising. I started using All-In-One two months ago for its low B6 and like it a lot. I was taking LEF Two-Per-Day...
