Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I followed Morley's RCP program for 1.5 years, trying to resolve some health issues, mostly chronic migraine and GI stuff. I did it full-on, doing the blood work, HTMA, and paid consultation, following the handbook, eliminating the stuff they don't want you taking, and taking the supplements they do want you taking consistently. There are things I like about the program--the community, the do-it-yourself handbook approach, and I consistently had more energy. Unfortunately I believe that latter part comes at the cost of long-term health and I will get into the specifics of that. I made zero progress on my primary health concerns. I switched to Nutrition Detective aka Dr. Garrett Smith, as some other reviewers on here have mentioned, for several months. For the most part his program is better in my opinion. Unfortunately, he has more recently started recommending that people drink chlorine/MMS, which I simply cannot get behind. The stuff is banned most places and obviously dangerous, and it doesn't take much searching to figure that out. I have cut ties with him. At this point, I am going back to materials from less extreme influences on minerals/health like Carol Dean and PD Mangan. Beef liver is the biggest problem I have with RCP. I took a ton of it in many forms on the RCP and got horrible headaches if I got too much in a day (which was well within their recommended amount). Now having eliminated it, I have been dealing with dizziness, fatigue, and brain fog for weeks. If something is truly good for you, you should not have to "detox" while coming off of it! I got energy from the beef liver but all these terrible side effects even after 1.5 years of trying to make it work are not an indication that this was a good thing for my health long-term. What I see with these kinds of groups is that they find a common health issue (fatigue being the main one for RCP), find a way to fix that and possibly some related issues, but then claim their approach is the fix for all chronic health issues. I suspect a lot of people, like me, stayed on these programs for long periods of time waiting for things to get better. Or they seem to get better in the beginning, and then never really progress. What are the long term consequences of these programs? I have yet to see real studies or hard evidence for their efficacy. Some people have said being on RCP seemed to make them age more rapidly, which went away after coming off of the protocol. Morley himself appears to be afflicted by this rapid aging judging by recent videos. It seems like a gamble on a fringe health group. I like their advice about magnesium and reducing iron overload, but in general I would suggest a more mainstream approach to health fundamentals with a focus on the research and experts specific to your own health conditions. Most recently, Emgality, a newer prescription drug, has been far more effective at preventing my migraines than any of the numerous "natural" approaches I have tried over the past decade, including the adrenal cocktails many migraine sufferers seem to find helpful on RCP. This is another danger of going too deep down the rabbit hole of alternative health programs -- you could end up missing out on advancements in mainstream medicine that are better and do have scientific evidence behind them. I sure wish I had tried Emgality years ago when it first came out, I could have saved myself a lot of chronic pain.
