Garrett's Vitamin A detox package
Has anyone purchased this?
I don't want anyone to give away the information in it but I am unemployed and I wanted to see what anyone thought about it before I purchased it.
Would just doing a Google search for Vitamin A antagonists be just as good? Thank you!
I think full body sunlight exposure and vitamin E are could be very helpful.

I’m in a similar situation and I think Harry @elementalhealth.co.uk is an excellent option for people that can’t afford Dr. Smith.
I purchased it and was very dissappointed.
I only purchased access to his Vitamin A files/folders... not the full "detox package". I have thought about it, and I personally CAN afford it, so cost wasn't the issue. There's just other personal reasons why I decided working directly with him was not right for me. Not knocking him, because he's certainly done a lot of research, and I would never have found my way here if not for a random Facebook post of his that I happened to see. He's just not for everyone.
Patti, can you elaborate a bit? Might be helpful for people here following a lot of what he says.
I have bought it. It is not just a food list but comes with a bit more, i.e drug names and such. Googling low vit a foods is not always a good idea as i.e pork and milk have hidden retinoic acid which will not show up in any lists and some foods are really horrible despite not looking "that bad" like avocado. There are also foods on the list I personally do not agree should be on there.
I would say it depends on your level of knowledge and finances ofc. Garrett has done a lot of research but he also has a lot of info on his forum for everyone to read. If you are single and not fussy with your diet the food list itself is not needed, food wise one can stick with safe foods Grant Style. But as vit A can hide in drugs, supplements, skim care, shampoo and such, and in many oils/etheric oils those should be omitted as well and here Garrett has done extended research. The lists (there are several) also are updated, or will ve updated, when new info/marerial arise.
I bought it to translate for my mom as it was the easiest way for me to get my parents started as she does not speak english. I dont use any products beforehand with any form of synthetic retinol, and I am the kind of person that obsessively check out every ingredient before buying a product, but it is hiding everywhere uder different names ao if you are not anal about what is put on your body, the list can help with that as well. Heck I even found syntthetic retinol in a john masters organics body lotion hiding in the middle of the list owned by my pregnant friend! But again, it can be beneficial depending on your level of knowledge. I had expected a lot more of it, but for many it has been very helpful.
For whoever it was that asked me if I would elaborate more (sorry... this forum seems a little outdated to me with many people just showing up as "guest", and not signing posts)... I would just say I basically agree with what Liz just wrote. I found the "files" somewhat helpful, although I just don't agree with everything he includes (for example, butter... I used it at first but have taken it out. I just don't agree that it's safe enough for ME). I don't begrudge him charging for the information. That wasn't a hardship for me, although it might be for someone else. I do understand that he's worked hard to compile the info and feels he deserves to be compensated and that's fine. Some of my issues with him that I referred to a "personal" are just honestly, not related to the low-A diet at ALL. I was following his page on Facebook and there are often things (on subjects other than vitamin A) that he posts there that.... well, I find rather "challenging". Politics and conspiracy-theory type stuff. That's the nicest way I can put it. It just wasn't for me personally and I made the choice to quit following him and also decided I would not be consulting with him further as a patient/client. I do worry a little that he'll put other people off with some of his views and make them question the validity of the vitamin A information. I hope not but, to each his own.

After working in the medical field for twenty years I believe there are a lot of good people that really don't care about what they consider "homeopathic" medicine/health. On the other hand I understand somewhat the "paranoia" of anyone operating outside of what is accepted by the mainstream. That's why I go by an alias. I'm about to leave the field and I'll be so glad to not have to worry about all that anymore. People get harassed and can even lose their license if they don't tow the line.

I just ate some avocado and banana for the other nutrients knowing it has A but not so much. Tell me more about avocados, why is it horrible? What about bananas?
