Re: Andy's protocol and DAN

hello " charles4747,

well, this may depend on what aspect you are looking for.

You can find a summary version of Andy's protocol here:

/files/Andy_dose_sched

As noted, in that file, it is significantly missing supplements,

but there are links to more info on that. Use of supplements

is definately part of his scheme.

You can find the DAN protocol here:

You can find Andy's commentary on the differences, here:

/files/ANDY_INDEX

Look in the section that is about " keeping a steady level

of cheltion agents and " bad " protocols " , then look for items

about " DAN " . There are a couple items that are currently in

green text that are very thorough. I think one or more of

them was just posted by , also. You can also search

the page (in ANDY_INDEX) for the word DAN if you want to

find more.

The most major and notable differences, to my mind are:

1. dose timing (this being the infamous difference)

2. dose amounts

3. DAN includes some random use of sulfur supplements, I think

There are other differences of viewpoint, I believe, as well,

but these are the most notable, in my mind.

Well, I don't know all of the aspects of things that Dr. Amy

did or did not do, and I don't want to give a blanket answer

because of that. But, she did use and recommend 4 hour dosing

(including at night) at first (or early on) in her practice,

from what I've heard. She later stopped recommending this

routinely, from what I've heard, but still **allowed** parents

who wanted to use it to do so. Then again, I have also heard

that she sometimes/often recommended it for younger kids.

I'm not sure exactly. I think it is safe to say she used

4-hour dosing more early on and less later on, but was

also flexible about it.

She wrote on this list at one time--- pretty early on.

You can go back (waaaaay back) and find her posts, if

you are adequately motivated. There are links to a very

few of her posts, in these files:

/files/HOW_TO_hair_test

/files/LOVE_LETTERS
