you need the hdl cholesterol as well.

liver is a super source of iron, mineral supplementation of iron is

in a very reactive and oxidising form unlike the haem form in meat

(and and ferritin in the liver)

dan seems more wrong than right in thier protocols imo.

citrus is good for hdl, aerobic exerise too which todays kids are

short of........., i had squeeze citrus for juice, don't trust the

bought juices..............

still a bit wary of too many eggs. depends on the quality in part

you would probably find a hair test useful to look at things like

chromium to get a sense fo wether the fat to sugar metabolising

minerals are adequate, also the thyroid minerals...........

liver and pancreas will help with these minerals to
