When discussing zinc/copper imbalance I noticed you did not mention pyroluria. Can you comment on your thoughts re: this biobalance Dr. Walsh protocols.

Chris Kresser:  It’s hard to comment on because there’s no, it doesn’t really, it’s a condition that doesn’t really exist in the scientific literature. I know that there is a group of clinicians that believe in it and have protocols surrounding it, but it’s just difficult to evaluate because there’s not really any evidence for it. And it’s not something that’s discussed. And I don’t believe that lack of proof is necessarily proof against, but I’m somewhat suspicious when, or maybe just less likely to go down that road when there’s no evidence that I can base any opinion on.
