After the fast and refeed (which was shitty after day 4), I've just finished the detox protocol for about 11 days. It made me groggy and gave me flu symptoms rather instantly. Quit just two days ago to see where I am at. Libido, stools, sleep and erections have improved a lot. I woke up with a morning woody for the first time in in nearly a decade today. Not one that will knockout an infant, but one I am happy with. Won't take anything for a week to see where my baseline will be at. Then start ARL and see from there. Bloated belly, watery semen (the fast did that to me) still persists. Bad, aging skin, abdominal fat, receding gums, muscle loss is ofcourse harder to gauge that shortly.
I really think the detox protocol ("detox for dummies") did something. I took silica, malic acid, electrolytes, lipsomal vitamine C, lipsomal glutathione, shilajit, sulforaphane, betaine HCL (one pill), Thorne B-complex, L-tyrosine, cysteine, selenium, nutritional yeast and glucosamine & chondroitine, along with occasional dead sea salt baths. Though I am not very high in metals/toxins in my hair tests I think it did me well in the end. I advice everyone to do that before ARL or TEI.
So yeah, some decent results, but I want to be careful reporting progress.
