Re: Clarification Regarding ARL vs TEI

I can't say much at this stage as i'm only just going to embark on TEI. But i've been on ARL for nearly 6 months. ARL's supplementation regime is definitely alot more intense (some of us on low 4s just can't handle that many supplements every day, some can with good results) and I'm one of those who seems to have issues with calcium - though not yet confirmed. Seems the calcium and D3 (in the Paramin)and lack of potassium in some of our ARL regimes might be an issue for some of us with a hypoglycemia/glucose issue. Though some of us still need calcium and with the added potassium seem to do fine.

Agree with Marie- TEI don't advocate enemas for those on four lows, though Dr Malter (TEI) doesn't say he doesn't believe in them, just too risky on the adrenals for those on low 4s - especially coffee enemas.

And from what Dr Malter has explained anyway, TEI definitely believe in copper toxicity - think it's one of the founding ideologies and discoveries of NB. It's just that TEI don't believe everyone is necessarily copper toxic, some are actually deficient. As such TEI don't advocate taking copper for those copper toxic, like ARL usually does (Limcomin). And from what I gather, TEI also likes to see those on 4 lows and/or with hypoglycemia issues take more magnesium than is available in the Paramin - especially if people are experiencing issues with the calcium and D3 content in Paramin.

Now for diet, well i haven't got into researching it that much, maybe someone in this forum who has been on it for a while can better elaborate, same with differences in hair analysis. For me, reason for trying TEI is the hypoglycemia issue - i haven't seen any improvements with this on ARL and it's a major healing issue for me. But ARL definitely helps detox metals. Just a matter of what your body needs next, in my case, a different approach to the hypoglycemia issue.

Most importantly, I think both ARL and TEI require a good practitioner anyway, sometimes it might not even be an ARL or TEI issue but the practitioner who might have different take on the hair analysis results. As a pathologist friend of mine once said - it's not the lab results that are important, but the doctor who interprets the results. Think this is valid also for ARL and TEI. Tweet
