I tried it, it didn't work for me..I did it for 10 days and got rise of 2 (from like 7 to 9), and raised my RBCs and HCT. I read and prepped for a week, rereading the protocol and articles 20 times to make sure I followed every known factor. I must have taken a supplement that caused the iron to absorb systemically....I do take a number kf supplements that weren't addressed in the protocol and a dozen meds.
I'm not knocking it, but I recommend trying it for a few days and getting and iron panel before you go too long on it.
