Admiral’s PFS Log.. ARL/TEI since march 2018

[Admiral]

Ya.. The lethargy is common, though. Even in the non-PFS community. Maybe I should add in tribulus.

Yea worth a shot. Also try to add in more potassium from the diet like coconut water and/or a lot of cooked vegetables

 

[Admiral]

So this experiment ends today. After increasing the R-Andro, the lethargy became even worse. Could barely function anymore. I notice I experienced the same on a mammoth dose of asparagus:

This mini slump isn't from quitting TEI. I noticed that asparagus are just a potent vegetable. Whenever I eat it every once and a while it gives me a little, but pleasant boost in libido and EQ, but this week I overdid it and it caused a mini crash. Full blown prostatitis, groggy, depressed, headaches and deprived sleep..

DHT increasing supplements just do me bad. Maybe they tank E (or T) too much and soy milk isn't strong enough.

Will start tribulus protocol in about a week orso.

How long were you on Randro? Luckily I was in between jobs on my first cycle and was able to sleep when ever I want to.

If its even in the non-PFS community, then perhaps we all have anti-bodies for dht?

Or could it be throwing the body out of balance from introducing a new link to the chain?

Maybe the lethargy is the body using up extra fuel to process dht?

Has anyone attempted to power through the lethargy and continue taking dht supplementation?

 

[Admiral]

Decided to go all-out these next 12 months. Will follow a low carb, high protein and high (healthy) fat diet with moderate exercise. No alcohol, caffeine, drugs and little to no sugar. I will attack this mofo from every side.

• TEI/ARL supps
• Candida (supplement called Candi-plus. Will also add Wormwood)
• Liver & Bile flow/prodcution (TUDCA, glutamine, glycine, taurine, GB3, malic acid)
• Gut (Full Bulletproof gut protocol) *for 3 months
• Amino's
• Tribulus Mediherb (cycles)

Everything already ordered.

I realize it's useless to add stuff to TEI, but I am not trying to get balanced. That's a fairy tale. I'll use it as a base.
My biggest draw back would be to quit during the rougher days. Especially not being able to pinpoint what causes what with so many supplements.I just hope I can pull through.

No I did not have chronic diarrhea. But several bowel movements a day. Too much to be precise. After every food I ate. I felt like my digestion was too fast and it did not burn enough so too much actually went through.

Stools are / were pretty much always fine. (Not in a UC flare though obv.)
But now I have 1 every or every 2 days. Which is awesome. But Im not constipated at all.

If you have constipation with the feeling of being full the entire day, I agree thats something else. Then its probably better to be able to go. If its withough Urge / IBS
But I still think 3ce per day is too much. Or not something to strive for. Call it that way.

Its just having experienced what I did, hearing someone saying going multiple times a day is nice or healthy confuses me.

To me constipation is if you have issues with not being able to go if you need to.
If you dont have to go for 5 days because your food intake is maybe low, or fiber whatever, is that constipation?

So why is it better to go 3ce than 1ce per day if you dont have issues with constipation?

Just wanna add to this, before crash I'd shiet once every 3/4 days and I felt AWESOME. I could eat a freaking family sized pizza at 3am and be asleep at 3:20, nothing would bother my stomach and I never felt uncomfortable there.
Now after crash I poop every day and sometimes twice a day and yet when I eat too much it feels like it all just lingers there. No way I can eat a ton and go to bed, it feels as if it would come back up or isn't digested at all.

Go slow and take your time adding all in. Combining gut drink with balancing might be a little taxing on system. So maybe start the gut stuff for a week then feed minerals slowly afterward at first. Maybe just feed mins once a day for a bit or even EOD as body acclimates to this new treatment plan.

Good luck man. I’m cheering for you big time.

 

[Admiral]

Still waiting on TEI and the final product of the gut protocol to come in. In the meantime I am on a low clomid dose (10mg once every two days) and some liver and bile support. However, I'm also on a Keto diet (veggies and meat mostly) and things I've noticed is this:

• Less dark circles. Which is weird, considering most on a Keto diet in fact get dark circles under their eyes.
• My sleep was perfect, but it's now interrupted on a low carb diet. It's still good, though.
• Much less stomach bloating.
• Energy and lethargy is up and down, but very present.
• More heart palpitations

 

[Admiral]

Made an appointment with my doc tomorrow (note to self: 13:15). Will ask for Nystatin (anti fungus) and Rifaximin (SIBO).

Don’t know why you’re looking for the drugs of the world for this stuff. You didn’t even give gut drink a shot.

Antibiotics are literally the death of human kind. You could really hurt yourself with these- you never know how the bacteria is going to respond. It could come back even stronger.

If you’re bacterial, fungal issues aren’t thattt bad you should always opt for the natural ways of going at it. And there are many many natural ways of going at it beyond gut drink.

And the natural ways are very very strong with results proven to be just or if not affective as the antibiotics. The antibiotic generation is going to be ending soon. It was a horrible time for human kind- you need to understand this.

Goal is to make your immune system and good bacteria the chiefs here and keep away all this bad stuff. It isn’t rocket science. Unless you’re paralyzed with bad bad cfs, id always opt against the drugs.

 

[Admiral]

I want them in case the natural protocols don’t work. But, Nystatin has cured some and Rifaximin is the best bet for SIBO. An antibiotic that isn’t absorbed into the bloodstream.

 

[tanedout]

Apparently Rifaximin (genetic name is Xifaxan) is basically not absorbed, so it’s much less damaging than broad spectrum antibiotics, and also very effective at not just combating sibo, but in other studies has been shown to improve healthy gut bacteria (probably because it kills the bad, so the good can take hold)

I’ve tried to get my doctor to prescribe, but use for sibo is currently ‘off label’. The only approved use is for travellers diarrhoea. Your doctor might be able to prescribe regardless though, I don’t know.

It should in theory help our condition. I read 80% of people with CFS have sibo, so it’s peobably similar for PFS, PAS as they are obviously related conditions.

Probably even more to suggest the root cause is bile flow/liver related, and this lets bad bacteria/fungus take hold in the gut

WE cured POIS with xifaxan aka rifaximin and methylation protocol afterwards.

How come this isn’t looked into more over here?

I posted this gazzillion times. and sibo and all that stuff. People are trying to get rid of sibo. with resistant starch protocol.

I am aware of that, but rifaximin hasn't been mentioned much within the PFS community, if at all.

why don't you search xifaxan in hackstasis search.

@Admiral you still smoke pot?
