I can see how CD's protocol is confusing if someone is not familiar with alternative or holistic medicine.
Concepts like detoxing for example aren't recognized by textbook science
dermatologists argued against sun exposure for decades but now we have data of benefits beyond vitamin D
so if you aren't on board with concepts detoxing, meditation, herbal therapy, wim hof ...ect then you will probably not understand the protocol
Mainstream science would deny everything here and tell you to take your anti-depressant along with the finasteride
