It's been so long that I don't recall. This list is a compilation of things

people have mentioned in the past on this list that helped them. I do recall

that there was a reason for the citrate, but it escapes me now.

Because it supports methylation, which supports glutathione production, which

increases the rate at which the body detoxes itself. This increase intensifies

herxes.

B12 is generally a good thing for us to take, precisely because it does support

methylation (which in turn supports energy production and detox). But if you're

already overwhelmed by the current rate of detox, adding B12 to the system is

throwing gas on the fire.

I dunno. Does it work for you?

All of these are suggestions. It's up to you to figure out which ones might work

for you, and how much is enough.
