No. I seem to have higher libido when i'm tired. Its weird. But its like, too high libido. I think that makes me more DHT dominant in opposing estrogen like Gbold was saying.

I'm starting to think maybe I didn't get any effects from accutane (except maybe sodium retention and dry eyes); and my problems are just mostly from too slow oxidation.

I'm feeling a lot better again ON THE SECOND DAY of taking zinc / manganese. This shit is so weird, I can't believe how fast it affected me. Like, last night I had sugar (marshmallows) and everything. My body is like "nope don't care", got the zinc + manganese in, feel nauseous initially then have great energy. WTFFFFF

You guys have so many kidney eating spiders and all other dangerous species up there. No wonder you lose your hair. LOL

I wanted to move to AUS 10 years ago. But those bugs and crocs scared me away. And also real estate prices

Perth is bugs (mostly) and crocs free. Beautiful beaches with a sunset over them. Beautiful women. But also high real estate prices (although high wages too)

You forgot the sharks...

Very interesting Manganese is one of the things I wanna try

How you doing man? My mineral run went well, relatively speaking. I feel like nothing really improved past the first 2 or so days but there was a big improvement over those days and it seems to have stuck so

Awesome to hear! I'm doing well, this is my log for the week:

Tuesday:

Ive now started 30mg zinc and 10mg manganese a day.
Already have more energy.
Feeling a bit nauseous straight aftrr taking. Felt better in the arvo.
Gbold said that you might feel worse at first. It is supposed to increase breathing rate. I get altitude sickness, maybe this is related to that.
Feel like i have better bloodflow.

Wednesday:
Feel nauseous straight after taking the zinc mang. Lots of yawning too (blowing off co2??)

Thurs/fri:
Been feeling okay. Had a long talk with my gf about fast and slow oxidation. Shes a fast 4 (worst fast, a fast trying to be slow) and im a slow 4 (worst slow, a slow trying to be fast!). Shes done calorie restriction / super stressed in the recent past which i think has slown her adrenals and thyroid. Ive recently been doing raypeat style eating (lots of calories, lots of carbs) and dont exercise most days, which has probably sped up my thyroid and adrenals.

Our plans going forward are;

she will eat raypeat style and reduce stress as much as possible. Hopefully this will speed her up.

I will start walking to work and back 4 days a week (its about a 40min round trip), ill also start taking zeolites and reduce my carb intake. Hopefully this will slow me down. Ill keep taking the zinc and mang too, and retest when my bottle is empty (probably late jan or feb 2018)

I went for a walk friday. Felt tired after and had a nap but generally it was good.

Had some zeolite friday night.

Saturday :
I'm back baby!! Won my tennis match. I had that 'fight' feeling, wasnt backing down, and came from behind for probably my best match win ever. Man that was epic.

Feeling good energy. Very happy.

Didnt notice any ill effects from zeolites at all.

lol doping with zeolite! :mrgreen:

Yawns signal a change in the nervous system and help the change. Or an intent to change from sympathetic to para-s. Depends if they are complete or feel unfinished and repetitive. Long comfortable exhales come when you enter a calm state, more para-s.

I remember in buteyko they say not to yawn, to stop yourself or withhold it because it releases co2. Sounds unnatural..

Yes, agree, this is the worse I know about Buteyko, and he is wrong for this.
All you can do is to add a comfortable pause after the yawn. Did you read my post on RPF about my yawn exercise?

Sunday :

Generally feeling good.
Taking zinc / mang in the morning.
Went for a beach swim in the arvo.
Had zeolite before bed.

Monday:
Heart rate was 44 upon waking.
Took zinc / mang.
Walked to work (20min).
Had a great bowel movement.
Drunk some water then had another large bowel movement 10 minutes later!
I wonder if this is the zeolite clearing me out?
Had zeolite before bed.

Tuesday :
Feeling good.
I seem to be losing weight so im having breakfast again.
Still taking zinc / mang.
Had some water and it made my bowels move again. Maybe im dehydrated?
Thinking i should generally increase water consumption. It seems to decrease thyroid anyway.
Also thinking about taking broccoli powder - supposed to decrease thyroid (or so ray peat says). It really helped my acne as a teen. Although i dont have any now. Although i think maybe thats too many things at once. Ill probably try that after a hair retest if im still not balanced. Dunno.
51 bpm at 4pm. Lower than usual.
Took zeolite before bed.

Wednesday:
Woke up sick. Flu or old, sore throat.
Feeling tired and dizzy.
Weighed myself.. 72kg. Wtf ive walked to work twice and lost 3kg??? Is my thyroid / adrenal just crazy high and wont come down?!
I'm just going to eat heaps today. Fuck it.
This is so frustrating. Its like if i exercise more and restrict carbs, i feel better. But then i lose too much weight. If i eat more i have a better weight but feel constantly fatigued.

I also seem to have developed plantae fascitis. Not sure if this is from walking to work mon / tues or from new shoes or from maybe toxins releasing from the zeolite.

I hope this is all just toxic metals and the zeolites will balance my minerals. Dammit gbold saying zeolites arent always good sometimes he gets a bad batch and recommending another protocol today..

I take the magnesium which should be good for slowing down my crazy adrenals and i just crash so damn hard with 0 energy...

Took 2 drops zeoactiv8 again.

Thursday :
Took zinc / mang.
Felt sick again. Seems to be a flu. Felt average all day.
Took zeoactiv8.

Friday:
Took zinc / mang.
Threw up in the morning.
Napped in the morning for 3 hrs.
Napped in the arvo for 3 hrs.
Took zeoactiv8

Saturday :
Took zinc / mang.
Had a tennis match on. Took some psudoemphadrine. Felt alright. It was 38 degrees celcius.. nearly melted out there. Actually hyperventilated a tone. Felt like too much. Had to have some beer and soda after, was feeling light headed etc. Thought it would increase my co2.

Feeling wrekt now. Gonna go to bed at 9pm...

 

[Aleksandr]

Havent updated in awhile.

Ive stopped supping manganese and been taking zeolites more sporadically. Both seemed to make me a bit sick feeling.

I took these out and put 400mg of magnesium in. Did this for 2 weeks or so, then gbold said the magnesium wasnt a good idea. So ive just been supping zinc.

I spoke to a practitioner on facebook and she told me i was actually a fast oxidiser... then spoke to another who told me no i was a slow.

But my nervous system ratio ca/phos is basically perfect so ive decided i shouldnt base my supplements on fast or slow. The second practitioner recommended b6, bee pollen and a supp called 'mellow mood'. I noticed that hair test people also recommend glandular adrenals for unbalanced adreanals and i might get that too. Ive also ordered alanine and histadine to try too.

So my stack will look like;

Zinc 30mg + alanine and histidine 500mg + 1tablespoonof bee pollen + 1cap mellow mood (it has b6 among other things) + bovine adrenal gland 150mg.

Hopefully i can just stick to this for awhile without changing anything.

Really my adrenals are the most imbalance thing.

Zinc 30mg + alanine and histidine 500mg + 1tablespoonof bee pollen + 1cap mellow mood (it has b6 among other things) + bovine adrenal gland 150mg.

Started bee pollen couple days ago, I enjoy the taste, very unique. Just using 1tsp per day for now. Looks like a good stack.

How do you have it? One lady said she has it straight off the spoon lol. Ive been having rice milk+ bee pollen + strawberry whey protein. Tastes great

Just take 1tsp direct of spoon, let it sort of melt in mouth. Seems like it would be good in drinks(coffee/tea), seems like it would dissolve.

I've spoken to a trace elements practitioner who recommended:

(got the info from here: Trace Elements Supplements | Trace Nutrients )

Adrenal Complex:
Bovine Adrenal
HCL

Min-Plex B:
Chromium
B6
Magnesium

Digest-Zyme:
Protease
Amylase
Lipase

Vitamin E Plus:
Vit E
Selenium

...so I think i will update my stack to this:

IN THE MORNING:
Zinc 30mg
Alanine + Histamine 500mg
1 Tablespoon bee pollen
1 capsule mellow mood (b6 among others)
Chromium 500mcg
Bovine Adrenal 150mg with 1 cap HCL
2 caps lacto-relief

Lunch:
2 caps lacto-relief

Dinner:
2 caps lacto-relief

I'll run this to the end of Janurary and then re-test.

 

[Aleksandr]

So the stack in the post above has been causing severe energy crashes in the morning which almost last the whole day. I seem to have eliminated 'mellow mood' as the suspect.
The alanine and histamine never came in the mail (I think cos of Christmas delaying things).


I'm going to start a cronometer log of my food, and focus more on food:


Breakfast
Almond milk (0.2cup and 1 cup water blended up) + 1tablespoon bee pollen + 1 scoop protein powder + 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 can of baked beans

Lunch
Sushi: 1 roll. 1 cup rice, 1 sheet nori, 0.25 carrot 0.25 capsicum, 120g tuna,1 tablespoon mayo

2 oysters
3 mussels
Half a can of chickpea dip

Dinner
100g steak
Broccolli 6.6 tablespoons
1 cup of rice
1 cup of tomato puree
Half a can of chickpea dip


Supplements:
1000mg potassium
1 capsule bovine adrenal
1 capsule vitamin E

----

This gets basically all my nutrients except slightly lower calcium.

@mattyb I hope you're proud

 

[Aleksandr]

So 10 days later im getting IBS stabbing pains again... i think eating all the time like this is too much for my gut. Maybe the baked beans are causing problems too...

I'm gonna have to redo my cronometer i think. Maybe also do a fasting day a week. Or at least a morning to get my stomach acid up

 

[Aleksandr]

Ffs 2 steps back one step forward. My ibs is back now!!! Driving me crazy.

I thought i had cured it but it looks like ive just been avoiding all the foods that trigger it. Man this sucks so bad.

@mattyb @gbolduev @TubZy any ideas guys? In the past a fodmap diet and HCL fixed it.

Thinking of trying to redo my diet plan to get all the minerals with fodmap friendly foods. I think maybe the bake beans are causing a big upset in the morning (they're on the fodmap avoid list).


On a side note, wow my libido and erections are really up. It was pretty good already, but now I'm packing a pole of steel. I wonder if this is from the tomato paste? Not complaining about this one.

Also, my carnosine finally arrived from like a month ago. Gonna supp 500mg and 30mg zinc for a month and hopefully that gets rid of my white tongue.

 

[mattyb]

I forgot that you're IBS. Very likely it could be the beans. I think tomatoes can aggravate IBS people sometimes as well. I'm not too sure what you're all eating, but probably good to start with removing the beans and work backwards from there.

Ive remodded my meal plan:

Breakfast smoothie:
1 banana
1tblsp bee pollen
1 scoop protein powder
1tblsp unhulled tahini
0.25cup almonds
Veggie with 0.3cup chickpea dip

Lunch:
1 cup potato
140g mackerel
2tblsp whole egg mayo

Dinner:
100g beef mince
1 cup rice
1 cup tomato puree
1 cup broccoli

This gets 100% of everything except vit d (i get it from the sun), vit e (i will supplement. Dna test said i needed 180ui a day - not gonna happen via food), and calcium. But its close to 1000mg calcium, and i figure im a slow oxidiser anyway so i should retain it well.
