i cant add much to what has already been said by these fine folk. it is entirely up to you to find your own way. you also must decide what it is you want. some of these differing protocols differ because the goals are different. they both meet their objectives so they are both valid. one may simply a method for relief from a symptom. another may be a method to acheive a long range goal in spite of symptoms, such as the infamous herxheimer effect, also known as a healing crisis.
everyone here has chased symptoms. everyone here has sought a diagnosis. everyone here has had to choose their own right way. i am sure you will do so too.
an aside - my focus is quite along the lines of MH, and that is longevity with no loss of function both physically and mentally. that is why i choose distilled. ;)
