Re: TTFD - why exactly is it so bad, Andy?

[Guest guest]

I would have to agree with Tessa--

I have seen more exploration, interaction, etc with

TTFD vs DMSA/ALA. I was alternating both and

found that he does well with 1/4 the dose that the

Dr prescribed. We have stopped DMSA/ALA for now

since we are trying homeopathy. 20 % might have problems

with it, but 80% do not...I bet the same can be said for DMSA/

ALA.

Just like their mainstream colleagues who still insist shooting kids

full of horrific amounts of mercury is safe, these people went to

medical school where they were admitted with totally inadequate

chemistry backgrounds and then punished for years on end any time they

tried to think for themsevles or ask technical questions.

Understandably, after this experience, they aren't very good at

gathering data properly or analyzing it accurately. It is very much to

their credit that they try to do so despite such intense brainwashing.

Unfortunately they mostly aren't very good at it, having been

powerfully trained in " going with the flow, " and " conforming to

accepted practice standards, " they mostly look at what everyone else is

doing and make up some kind of pseudoscientific blather to justify why

that is the right thing for them to do. This is why pointless fads run

through the community and are later abandoned. . .. . . .

Indeed, but much less than TTFD, and unlike TTFD they do actually

remove heavy metals and lead to permanent improvements in toxic people.

,

I believe it does something w/ the liver. My son's stool went

yellow but when I added in taurine it was okay. I am willing to

give it another try because Jack's cadmium is so high and I have

heard some good results from the use of the allithiamine. I am

using it w/ caution because I do trust Andy's opinion.

A friend of mine son's stool went yellow and he was not okay for

some time.
