The answer - yes.

----So, has everyone that has chelated had the book before they

started? I ask because I have everything, or so I believe, that I

need to start. Just wondering if I should wait another 2 weeks until

payday so that I can order the book. I am just READY to begin. I feel

prepared. I've read and read and read some more. I've been

researching the archives, moria's site, dana's site for the past 3

months. I've gotten all the recommended supplements. I just am ready.

----I do agree with these statements. But, I still feel like you can

begin without the book. IF you know you will be getting it eventually.

----That's true. However, I have been helped so much concerning these

specific issues by this group alone. Such as with thyriod, adrenals,

and supps. I even found other groups for thyroid/adrenals to educate

myself further.

----I am certain that the book is much more complete than summaries

on the internet. And I will be ordering it.

-----True. I've had dental, supps, tests, and doctors fees that have

been hard to afford, but have due to necessity, and my beliefs.

----Sorry to hear that, as a lot of individuals on this board have

not yet got the book. If they had, many, many of their questions

wouldn't have been posted because they would have the answer. I see

questions on here all the time that I feel wouldn't need to be asked

if they had the book. Myself included

----I want to be very clear that I am thankful for being able to ask

questions(because I don't own AI) and to have knowledgable folks here

on fdc that help me tremendously. I don't understand why you would

feel uncomfortable in answering questions for people if they don't

have AI. Maybe they are new to this, and are testing out the waters.

Trying to soak up as much knowledge as they can. And people like you

could be just what they need.

-----You have personally answered one of my posts in the past. And I

don't have the book. You helped me, and you offered some insight. I

just feel like that's the way it's supposed to be. I am not

advocating chelating without the book. Just curious if anyone out

there had/has done it, and did they end up purchasing AI? I already

know that I will be buying it. Just not till payday

Blessings,

Summer

I just wanted to throw out a little comment on this thread:

Summer, it took me a year to decide whether or not to buy Andy's book (I'm

basically broke and didn't want to spend money if I didn't need to). Over the

course of that year, I was reading this group's posts every day, plus getting

info from elsewhere. I was feeling very confused on which protocol to try, but

came to the conclusion that THIS is the protocol worth trying and sacrificing

for. I bought the book, and having read it, cover to cover, I understand many

things so much better (though I have a few questions I still haven't gotten

around to asking in here), finding myself thinking it's money VERY well spent.

I wish I had the book a year ago! The book is a necessary tool and you won't

regret getting it, though you really should be ordering it now, IMO.
