    Dont understand why people are not using PFS protocol posted in electrolytes thread.

    @Helen did you just answer your own question? "Dont understand why people are not using PFS protocol posted in electrolytes thread." "they are not real protocols and they get adjusted all the time." I think if newcomers are here and want to experiment, we should encourage them. It is more...

    Talkingant PSSD log

    Update: It's now 3 days since I finished a 6 day 5mg Ella cycle. Nothing significant to report. I believe some people said it took a few weeks for noticeable changes to occur, so I might do that, or I might start another progesterone cycle in a few days. LMK any suggestions.

    Talkingant PSSD log

    Update: I did the TEI program for about 3 weeks. During that time I continued to have what I described as better feeling digestion and more energy. However, there were no changes to libido and it caused some bad insomnia. Due to the insomnia I stopped after 3 weeks. Upon cessation, my digestion...

    Talkingant PSSD log

    Starting my log thread. See my test thread for background info. I received my TEI program supplements last week. So far I've noticed only slight changes, if any, which include more energy throughout the day and better digestion, in the sense that a big meal doesn't make me feel as sluggish...

    Talkingant Tests (PSSD)

    Yes I've had genital numbness, ED, low libido, and emotional blunting for over 4 yrs, which all started while I was on an SSRI. I'm not sure on the theory behind the "two cases" of PFS, but based on what has been discussed in the forum recently it seems like one of the leading theories on...

    Talkingant Tests (PSSD)

    After reviewing the ARL and TE programs, I've decided to do the TE one. They are basically the same regarding dietary recommendations (high protein, low fat, moderate unrefined carb diet). But there are differences in the supplement programs, detailed in the summary tables below. I summed up all...

    Talkingant Tests (PSSD)

    Here is a summary of the three hair test levels. I highlighted a problem when 2 out of three agreed and put some "maybe"s if the levels were close to being a problem. I have also uploaded the full TE report and a snippet of the ARL report at the link below. I only received a paper copy of the...

    Talkingant Tests (PSSD)

    @Jaxx The reports I got back did include recommendations on diet and supplements. I can upload those pages too if interested. The recommendations are tailored to your mineral deficiencies/excess, so I dont think there are any "standard" ARL/TE recommendations that apply to everyone.

    Talkingant Tests (PSSD)

    Finally got my Trace Elements test. Comparing all three the results seem fairly consistent. I will spend some time reading all their reports and synthesizing dietary and supplement recommendations. So far it looks like I will do something similar to the Electrolyte Protocol in combination with...

    Talkingant Tests (PSSD)

    I've received my ARL hair test results, shown below. It mostly agrees with the DD test. I also have a Trace Elements test on the way so we can compare these labs, per suggestion from a community member. Once I have all three I will do a quick statistical analysis to compare the tests.

    Electrolyte Protocol for Improved Health

    If you are taking a whey protein mix, do you need an essential amino acid supplement? Wouldnt those aminos also be in the whey mix? For example compare the ingredients of an ON Gold Standard Whey powder to your EEA supplement.

    Crypto currencies

    I've made good money in crypto, been in the scene since 2011. But the market is pretty crazy right now, reminiscent of the early 2000s dotcom bubble. If you want to get involved with investing/trading crypto, be very careful, and don't invest more than you can afford to lose. Don't see it as an...
