Who told you that?????????
The only reason it's not a good idea to cycle with a betta is because he's not as hardy as a zebra danio as example
here is a link the discribes cycling in detail

Agreed. You can cycle with any fish. It's not about how much waste is emited. It's about the hardiness of the fish, which bettas don't tend to be for cycling. Personally, I prefer the fishless cycle, but as you already have the fish, you will need to just pursue the regular fish cycling process. If you are very precise with following the process, your betta could very well survive.
