Have you tried the new Protocol 525 product for neuropathy relief?

Hi AEmedic
I too am retired military and current defense contractor subject to random drug testing. I just recently started the protocol and I was hesitant as well due to the hemp.
During a recent Zoom meeting (3/2/2022 at the end of the call) with Bob, I asked and Bob said no and provided anecdotal examples of people who are subject to testing. He also addressed hemp seed oil vs fax seed and why hemp seed oil is more desirable.
I contacted the hemp seed oil manufacture and asked the same question. They provided certification of the THC content as less than 10 ppm but they do not test each batch. 10 ppm will not generate a positive drug test.
My plan is to do the protocol for 3 months then pay to get a drug test thru a local lab to ensure I don't test positive.
My recommendation is to contact the manufacture and research the tolerances of DoD THC testing to make an informed decision.
Good luck!
Doug

Doug, I’m curious how it is going for you? I ordered all my supplements off of Amazon. I purchased the exact items they show for the Protocol, I did buy the Ramp-Up but didn’t really need it. I decided to use the all capsule plan and just decided to limit the amount of HSO. I think I am having positive results even though my feet were on fire the first couple of nights… I realized, through research, that the Celebrex I have been on for the last 7 years may have played a part in my PN since all my symptoms have occurred since I started it… So, I stopped taking it and have lots of additional aches. I started taking White Willow Bark as an NSAID. Lots of reading…I came across discussions on MTHFR mutations. As it turns out, I had my DNA data sent to have a MTHFR report created last year. I have a number of mutations in the various MTHFR lines one of which is homozygous, but on the two relevant ones, 677 and 1298, I am compound heterozygous. So, I decided to add Methylfolate. Lots of changes in a short time.
My feet are definitely different feeling now. I have more of an achy diffuse pain and lots of little electric shocks, I still have numbness but it seems like it is also more diffuse. Overall, it gives me hope that it will eventually be better than it has been!

Doug, Thank you for the response. I have done quite a bit of reading and feel like it is fairly safe to assume that the levels are so low that they won't produce a positive test result. I just don't like to break rules deliberately... But this is for our health and quality of life...
