Greetings Prof Spira! Thank you for your time!
I spent 1 year on the mucusfree diet unsupplemented and felt very good, but ar the end something was “missing” and had my urine tested for methylmalonic acid / creatinine ratio in order to know my B12 status, and the result was high (which indicates bad B12 utilization, regardless of blood count in range as there are analogs). Anyways, I supplemented after that and corrected it in a month with 10’000 mcg methylcobalamin a day. What is your view on B12 supplementation from the mucus free diet perspective. Do you think over time body will totally heal and produce it in the gut? As our environment and oxidative stress levels are not the same than Golden Age, maybe it is not achievable by the body without any help, what do you think and do yourself in this regard? Thanks!

I tried psylium husk a couple times in the morning but never did the benonite piece. I had used herbs a month or so ago when I posted the vid about parasites but when I just recently eliminated the mucous rope it was due to longer mucusless periods and regular lemon enemas, nothing fancy. I really feel as though the longer mucusless periods are the most important aspect of the healing system, even more so than fasting.
