Manu's Log

[Admiral]

Taking it with a good meal helps a bit. I notice that when I take it with vegetable juice I get stomach cramps and diarrhea within moments. With whole food not so much, so that is a plus.

This current cycle seems to be rough, though. No ups yet, only downs. Like suicidal thoughts, hardcore ED.

 

[manu]

@Admiral Great that you figured that out!
Yeah if one goes the mineral balancing route all the work is about finding a way to get through it without taking something which interferes with the program.
Lots of challenges: Mentally (sucidal thoughts which are just chemical - chelation symptoms), socially (I actually made it a rule to not take supplements before meeting up with friends because I got so pissed and aggressive immediately after taking them), physically (I got a huge skin rash on last cycle. Had to take hot showers before going to bed to get any sleep - strange I know).

Power through it! Good luck!

-_Yeah that rule was kind of like me using randro, 4andro, TMO herbs,... and making sure i worked out BEFORE meeting company, or anything like work.
--AND sometimes just not using them. But I was addicted to gym and often went mid meeting anyways.... but yes* I was nicer*** without them.
--But it is what it is.
--NOw i like waking up early, taking TEI before seeing anyone, but pretty calm probably fine with nothing. Fine with TEI even better at times either on nothing or on TEI.
-BUT if I haven't taken my nightly dose and I'm far away, I try and carry it with me*.
-Yeah man. Gotta power thru it. You know it man!! @manu
-I want to skip ahead, but I can't so I'll live as normal as can... wasn't super normal anyways before all this... but yeah, just taking them twice a day, easy enough.
-For a time I thought I had to take them and a meal right before or an hour or so before gym, but that doesn't make sense, just taking them when I awaken and 8-10 hrs later.

I think I'm feeling my higher Na/K ratio: I'm far more aggressive. It has upsides (eg.at work I called a supplier which ignored our requests to repair a device for already 2 weeks. I told them to solve all the problems we have until next day when I'm at work again or I will sue them, terminate the contract...etc. - within 30min they sent a technician with highest priority and all problems were solved).
But it's has downsides too. My mind circles around thinking how stupid most people are etc.
This is all legitimate to a certain degree, however they way I'm acting and feeling has definitely shifted a little bit in that regard.

Still waiting for my new ARL supplements...

did itchy skin reappear ?

 

[manu]

did itchy skin reappear ?

No it hasn't. I guess it was some reaction of being at the sea, a lot of sun exposure, bad sun screen and taking a lot of b6.
It has completely healed in the meantime.

I've made that terribly mistake of ordering my supplements from a shop located in the USA because it looks much cheaper.
Customs don't allow me to import it into the EU because it exceeds three times the RDA LOL.
Meanwhile one can order a B12 supplements from Amazon which is like 30 times the RDA.
It's ridiculous!
@Admiral where to you order your ARL supplements from?
I might order it from a EU-located shop again.
It all takes so much time and cost so much money...

I think I will start liver flush now until I come to terms with how I should continue...
Maybe I will switch to TEI if there are better EU-located shops.
I wish we would have a list for that...
Is there a good shop for TEI @HerrFisch ?

Many thanks to all who take time to respond!

Have a great day!

Customs and Health CDA are crazy, trust me. Same there... it's bile salts and also glandular and also RDA maybe of Copper or Minplex B or something else....
They're retarded with these stupid fucking rules.

Oh dude, made that mistake with IHerb as well Lol. sorry for you

wrote that on here somewhere.
Supplements from Us over 21€ will always go to customs and you won’t be able to get them if they are above 100% rda. And that’s pretty much impossible. Cause what supplement is not over 100% RDA...
You have to go to the customs and they unbox it with you, but you got no chance.
As soon as 1 thing out of the box is over 100% RDA, you won’t be able to get anything. Even if everything else is under100% RDA.

If the price with shipping is below 21€, you can be lucky if they don’t pick yours.
Success rate ~80%.

Pretty weird laws. Inside the EU you can buy whatever you want. Pretty much.

Uk, Netherlands can be real bargain buys for us germans.

Haven’t looked for ARL supps yet, but TEI can be bought from the Uk good priced.

 

[Admiral]

ARL supps are expensive here. Wouldn’t bother. I pay 200 euro’s a month.

 

[manu]

Hopefully brexit won't cut as from those sources...
I will order from http://hairmineralanalysis.co.uk next time.

 

[Chapman]

www.Mineralstate co.uk is good as well.

Thanks but that's for TEI right? Maybe I will switch to TEI. Not sure about that yet...

Yeah Trace Elements.

 

[manu]

I still haven't got my new supplements. Now the problem is they don't have GB3 in stock. And they can't tell me when they will have it...
They will send me gall plus instead (Gall Plus Nutr -i 90 tablets (GB3 replacement) – Nutritional Balancing)
Unfortunately it has B-vitamins in it. However it is very little compared to 2x megapan.
And still haven't got the refund for the supplements, which didn't get through customs.

ARL/TEI in europe is a mess.

 

[Admiral]

Try Biocoherence.nl. Pricey, but their ARL supps are legit and I receive them within a day or two.

 

[manu]

Today I've started taking my new supplements.
I'm curious how I will feel this time during cycle.
Let's see...

 

[manu]

Had little diarrhea on the first days (known side effect of gb-3) and was a little bit tired and brain foggy.
Now I feel okay but feel some anxiety.
I feel like my adrenaline is very high (hectic) but maybe it's because of how cold it has become here.

 

[manu]

No diarrhea anymore. Last week I had no appetite at all. This week I eat everything left and right.
I'm little bit confused all the time (made some terrible mistakes at work) but not stupid overall.
Unfortunately it makes me very tired and the third dose usually knocks me out (very tired).
But it's all temporary and expected on cycle.
I hope I will have a beautiful snap back after that.

Have a nice day!

 

[manu]

Haven't posted for a long time.
I finished my second cycle but haven't felt any improvement at all.
I don't have a new hair test yet. I first wanted to focus on some experimental stuff like liver flushes.
So I did 3 liver flushes in total since then:
First liver flush went pretty good. Some green stones came out. Next few days I caught a cold after that I felt phenomenal for three weeks.
I didn't even want to do a second flush cause I thought it might ruin everything again but I did and I was right.
Second liver flush hundreds of green stones came out, caught a cold again but no improvement after that - felt like pre first flush.
Third liver flush was over a week ago, you got it, caught a cold again - I'm still ill to this day.
No green stones at all, some tanned/brown stones and lots and lots of white "flakes" floating around. During the flush through the whole night I felt so bad like I have to vomit soon but it never happened. Maybe this was some really toxic stuff coming out.

I still hope this leads to something but I can't afford to get sick every few weeks - I will get fired.
Hopefully when the weather gets better my body will cope with it better...

My main symptoms are:
chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polypnosis.
varicose veins.
excessive sweating.

Energywise I'm pretty good since ARL (so I cancel out fatigue as a symptom).

If you have any insights please let me know!
Have a nice day!
