I’m so upset with myself.
In early 2024, b12 was saving me after a really fucked up stay at a psyche ward that really messed me up with electric convulsive therapy.
Because of the b12 help. I went on to read Freddd’s posts on the phoenix rising forum 10 years of his stuff.
My conclusion was he needed hormone therapy with the b12. And he had been on it for years prior to b12/ methylation. Something he spoke about infrequently and I believe he misled a lot of people who just thought he was doing things through methylation.
I failed miserably with TRT then a low dose test suspension approach between early to mid 2024. Finally in late September 2024, I tried 11 keto dht+ 7 keto dhea+ dhea cycles. 3 days on 4 days off. For about a month I did this. It definitely helped.
Stupidly I was looking at things like selenium utilization. Maybe not stupidly. But I needed to see that something happened. My serum iron DOUBLED in a month. It was right on bottom of range and moved to mid range. And my co2 got perfect top half of range. My testosterone went from 190 to 350.
In midst of that I literally left all my methylation ideas behind. No b12 no biotin just used some b2 b5 zinc. No calcium or lithium. Bunch of mag baths that I didn’t need .
I literally found the perfect hormone approach. But left all the methylation ideas behind. And literally stopped the hormone approach by November.
I’m realizing putting that hormone approach + methylation together is allowing me to make co2 and raise serum iron.
My indigo machine is showing a ton of good happening. Like after my first dose of 11 keto dht my CoA went up immediately. But it’s also calling for chloride.
Gbold is right we need chloride when system turns on. Ocean water helped today.
And biggest thing. I followed Vit D religiously the last 2-3 months in oligoscan. Realizing it is key to iron availability. It barely budged with just dhea/ 7 keto dhea. When I added the 11 keto dht to these, D went way up.
I’m angry. Sad. Mad. Relieved. Hopeful. Anxious. Pissed off.
Like whyyyy. Why couldn’t I think.
I needed help. Nobody was helping me. People don’t know how to look at bloodwork. And are biased about their own health needs.
But I should’ve been on this a lot sooner.
My fluoride and boron were both dropping last fall. I just don’t get why I couldn’t put this together .
