CUTLER PROTOCOL TESTIMONIAL: LINDA
I have been chelating off and on since 2005 and so far, I have reversed multiple sclerosis (MS) and ulcerative colitis,
two conditions that are supposedly impossible to reverse. There are signs that my adrenal fatigue is getting better. Not
sure about the hypothyroidism. In 1991, I had my first MS attack. The attacks were numbness, weakness, balance prob-
lems and difficulty walking. During the first attack, my legs felt like huge pieces of wood. I was diagnosed with relapsing
remitting MS in 2000. I started the MS diet soon after that. Everyone was telling me that amalgam fillings were completely
safe, but then I saw a doctor in 2004 who told me I had mercury poisoning and put that in my chart. This motivated me
to remove my amalgams despite the exorbitant cost. I started chelation the next year. My MS diagnosis was reversed in
2008 by the same neurologist who gave me the original diagnosis. MRI lesions were either gone or reduced in size. I had
a normal neurological exam and no MS symptoms at that point. Every time I had seen this neurologist from 1991 to 2007,
I had MS symptoms and an abnormal neurological exam. The neurologist even got mad at me and told me not to come
back because “MS isn’t curable.”
