After 9 months on the SMP with no results, I'm shifting to Freddd's protocol. I stopped all of the SMP supplements 2 days ago. I'm taking the Douglas labs B-complex (because I finished my other B), which has metafolin in it, but no other products from either protocol. I plan to start Freddd's protocol fully after I see my naturopath early next week.
I'm interested in testing myself re. paradoxical folate deficiency. [I had started juicing a ton of green veggies, stopped abruptly 2 days ago, and felt a lot better the next morning.] Is that something I can do by taking metafolin while significantly lowering my intake of folate? Or does it somehow reveal itself once I'm on the full protocol?
Freddd, did you ever start that folate thread? I couldn't find it. And I'm having a terrible time finding information about folate-free foods.
Also, I'm a little confused about start-up. Do I remember correctly that it's best to start the full basic protocol all at once, except for adding in the ADb12 after a few weeks?
I have all of the folate-free 5 star supplements you recommend. The only thing I'm lacking is potassium, which I'll buy before I start. Has your opinion changed, that it makes no difference which brand or type of potassium I buy?
Thanks,
Madie
