@jesfactsmon Good morning Hank. That's a tough call. Not only can I not deal with swallowing oil, I take hemp capsules instead, but when taking so much together, it's hard to decipher what's what. I sort of took matters into my own hands with the Protocol. I asked my neurologist about the myriad of supplements and he would only endorse R-Alpha Lipoic Lipoic Acid and Acetyl L Carnitine, specifically proven to help neuropathy. I had already been taking B12, magnesium, and CoQ10 (separate for migraine) so, I added all the other stuff. I did not even follow the ramp up rules...I just went for it. Maybe not wise for everyone but, my stomach handled it fine and I have not gained weight. I often wonder if the 2 pills my neurologist recommended are whats really helping but, not willing to drop all else to experiment. As I researched each and every vitamin/supplement before taking, I found that for me, nothing posed a concern, and had health benefits beyond neuropathy. During my recent 1 week vacation from the Protocol, I firmly discovered its benefits and got back on with a new found confidence that it helps me. Not sure what Linda's stomach can handle. Maybe try the help oil capsules instead. Tough call. Btw...I have the oil still sitting in my fridge too! it can be used in recipes but, I never think of it. Good wishes to you both!

Okay, thanks @rwinney and @johnbishop for your respective feedbacks. John, yes she did start with the ramp up, but even that proved to be too much for her once she got near up to the full 1200 mg. As for the hemp oil (interesting I spelled it h-e-l-p both times in my first post) I will still try to get her to at least try to do the first bottle and see what effect it has, bad or good. Rachel, I like the fact that you went off and did your own thing, I think that experimentation is always a good thing. When I initially read some of the info on facebook it seemed like the gentleman who is the facilitator was very adamant that it had to be done just a certain way, no deviation, or it wouldn't be very effective. No disrespect intended to him or the facebook group but I say hogwash to that idea. Just not my style. Thanks again yu guys! Best, Hank
