Re: Flagyl pulses for Cpn - PS to Jim

[Guest guest]

I see that your link answers the questions I asked you about C. Of

course it's an anti-oxidant and that explains Teitlebaum's use of

it.

I've got the 'Protandem' which supposedly is a precursor (enzymes)

that helps the body create its own antioxidants since the body

supposedly has difficulty benefitting from supplemental

antioxidants. I think that's probably arguable when it comes to C,

but there are many others and yes, it makes sense that we need to

look at the amount of oxidative stress put on the body as a result

of these toxins and figure out how to counter that. So C makes

sense. My Spectracell showed my antioxidant function to be

compromised (but not horribly).
