they should have had some testing done before embarking on any protocol.i never used lime as food personally since it gives you a health warning on the label but this could be substituted with something like coral calcium powder in case of deficiency.
Coral is not caustic like lime, but it is still poorly absorbed because it is a carbonate. Calcium carbonate also neutralizes stomach acid inhibiting proper absorption. Might as well take Tums, which is cheaper.
I think you missed my point. There are conditions, such as hemochromotosis, where iron must be be avoided as much as possible. To say that taking molasses is part of a cure all is just sheer stupidity!!! At least people are not being injured too bad since he does not seem to understand the concept of calcium blocks iron absorption.
