Alright thanks
I stopped the first and second cycles too soon, otherwise I think it would have fixed things quicker. Also, was drinking H2 water like it was oxygen during the first cycle, which screwed things up. That would be my biggest caution to folks doing this.... we are a community of experimenters on here. It’s what makes us great. It’s also the thing that can delay our healing. We want to try everything at once (trust me, I was that guy also) but at a certain point you have to be patient and just let the process work itself. Also, having done both, TEI definitely gets my vote as the better of the two. @Helen isnt playing around when tells folks to stop mixing protocols, etc. stick with something and only that thing until it’s proven effective or not, but don’t muddy the waters.

Guys, I gotta say, after some back and forth on ARL and TEI, things are absolutely moving forward in leaps and bounds. Libido is up. Have gone from having sex once every week to week and half, to having sex every 2-3 days, and wanting it. Erection issues are non existent on days that we take a roll in the hay. These are the last two things I am waiting on to restore. It’s hard to explain, but it’s almost like I am going through a rebirth process. Like i am going back through an abbreviated process of sex from my early adulthood where I was young and inexperienced. I have been shaking as if cold when aroused. Haven’t done that since my late teens early twenties. Pre mature ejaculation. Again not since early adulthood...(I’m 39). Pre mature ejaculation has slowly faded as time is going on. Shivering is slowly fading, but not completely. I’m all in now. I’m a believer in TEI. I’m not there, but I’m close....... appreciate all of your help so far.

Yes man yes! You’ve been working so hard and I’m so happy for you.

It’s funny when sexuality comes back that’s what happens like your organs are relearning how to deal with it all.

I honestly think my testicle injury (testicular torsion) never would have occurred if it weren’t for pfs. They say testicular torsions mainly occur in adolescents lol.

The more the merrier
@Helen thanks Helen and all this is a good post and gives me a bit of encouragement. I’ve suffered PFS for 10 years now and during the last 4 months I’ve been following a strict ARL protocol and nothing else. This includes daily saunas, morning back to back coffee enemas, all the recommended supps by my practioner, the recommended diet, 2-3L of quality spring water each day and a clean lifestyle and now introducing a little salt water therapy. During this time I’ve transitioned from 3 lows into 4 and been told this is a good thing as my body is in “healing stage” the last feel months while in 4 lows I’ve felt very fatigued and my libido... well what libido I did have before starting the program has dropped and I now feel nothing downstairs (not even a tingle) my ED has also gotten the worst it’s ever been, night time erections completely now gone too (before the arl program I used to get them all the time) my practioner said this is normal and not to be alarmed it means my body has taken a back seat and “off the road” while I heal. I’m 100% foscused on the program so I’m hoping another year on ARL will do the trick - then after that coming off ARL I’m hoping that’s enough time to bring my body back to a normal state with some good surprises in the libido/ED department! I’m getting my 3rd hair test next week so hoping that shows some good progress as I’ve also been managing / fixing hypothyroid and adrenall fatigue.

I wish everyone well with the various protocols people are trying. If there is anyone Australia looking for great ARL practioner PM me as I’ve got one. Can’t recommended enough the importance of having a practioner.

Great news hairsuit! That must be an awesome feeling to get some real noticeable improvements like that, especially after putting in the hard work. sticking to a solid protocol and patience seems to be the key.

Hair is a different story. My hairline has definitely taken a hit over the last several months. Still using setipiprant and minox and just started dermarolling. Hoping I can gain some ground back. My guess is though that as I come out of this, hairloss will only increase, right?

-Fevipiprant's not out yet rite? Can be used for asthma and hair... and other things (intended use). --That and Seti are crazy expensive right?

I would not use minox while on ARL/TEI, you want your natural NO to restore along with potassium too, that could be a reason for your hair issues at the moment. While you progress further on ARL/TEI your hair should come back when your metabolism gets balanced again

I hear you on the minox fellas..... it’s a tough call for me. Have to ride it out. It’s my last line of defense after losing Fin.

Heh heh. Yea 'lotta folks don't realize it has low-key anti-androgenic properties; although it works primarily via modulation of Potassium-Channels (K+) and Nitric-Oxide in the hair-follicles. :)

Yah most likely I feel like it would as well. At this point I just want my overall health back, like fuck the hair imo.

Think about your health, hair is an option… health is a must!
You’re not wrong....... it’s just complicated for me. It’s tied to my occupation. Which is why I need to get out as soon as I can.

On my second hair test, TEI recommended that I take 13 mg of copper per day!!!
5 pills Copper plus and 6 pills Sym pack.
I mean I'm low in copper. But isn't 13 mg a little crazy?

are you only on TEI< you did not mix it with anything?

if they tell you to take copper, take copper.

can you post your hair test?
