RWAC's PFS log (on the TEI train)

[RebelWithACause]

Doing pretty good on TEI.

The better I get the more I face my issues like anger, frustration and annoyance. I have little patience it seems. Maybe this is good for now. Small talk is not in it for me. I don't take a lot of shit from people in real life. I think as we get out of sickness more, you start noticing some things which are not good in your life. You just accepted them because you were weakened.

Ability to think is much better. Vision also better.

I notice some days I am somewhat scared and introverted. Often correlated with "retracing" symptoms like sore throat, fatigue, racing mind, etcetera.

I think I had a copper dump or other toxic metal for a few days. I felt manic, racing thoughts, creative and I slept bad. Like I was on caffeine a bit except no sociability. Pure creation mode.

Yesterday I slept a lot throughout the day plus at night also 8 hours. Very tired.

In the beginning of the cycle I was stronger in the gym. Now I am weaker for the last 2 workouts I have done. So I kept them shorter and lighter.

I have/ am going through the same things. My patience is gone, especially my patience for pfs. I notice I don't procrastinate anymore. At least with less patience I accomplish more.

My last cycle was pretty good but every now and then my adrenals feel shot at the end of the day and I need to relax.

Ye I think it is normal.

@Goose12 Sometimes I also want to say very mean stuff to people. I make up the meanest stuff that I can think of and want to say that to them. I don't of course. But that started this cycle. Every cycle seems to bring something new. Maybe it is more awareness too. Maybe you get more aware of your own patterns and thoughts and also the people around you because you have more energy.

I am definitely more aware of my flaws and other people's flaws as well. I don't think I am meaner but I am definitely more blunt. If people asks me my thoughts on something I don't suger coat what I think.

Nutritional balancing does some pretty amazing things. It's forcing us to heal physicaly and mentally. It's a roller coaster of emotions. I know we aren't on the whole arl protocol but I can completely relate to Lewis on deep healing space and a lot of the testimonials.

Hmm interesting how you word it. I think that is right. I see my own flaws more and other people's flaws.

I have improved a lot. But it is once you improved you forget about how shitty you felt and you want more and more, faster, faster. It is easy to get impatient.

Lewis videos are good for sure.

That's so true.

Well here is one of the downer days on TEI. Will also post that just to keep it balanced and so I can read it back.

I can't handle training on this cycle. Yesterday I train, afterwards I felt a low mood and a lot of brainfog. In the beginning I had a uptick for 2 weeks with more strength, etc.

Today I wake up feeling hungover like I drank a lot of alcohol and highly irritable and anger you want to take out on others and a bit of a "hot face" like I crashed my estrogen. This is happening multiple times on this cycle.

Kinda feels like a mini crash.

I notice I feel better when I don't train on this cycle.

On the previous cycle (high in copper) I could handle it fairly easy with good recovery.

It is hard for me to let go of exercise unless I have to. I don't use it to stimulate me like some NB coaches claim exercise addicts do. I used to. I now train 3 days a week. Not even a crazy frequency...

 

[RebelWithACause]

Also my skin is scarily yellow lol. Had this before on one of the TEI cycles.

Maybe the exercise is also putting a lot of pressure on the liver? Plus the supplements. Plus the extra carbohydrates I eat on workout days. Maybe compounds the problem a bit.

I will keep drinking a good amount of spring water and just go to bed early tonight.

 

[Snow1]

Keep up the spring water! I’m getting same healing reactions as you and also noticing I’m always getting mouth ulcers, I definitely get various waves of emotions all in one day, fear, worry, excitement, stress etc.. this is classic copper dumping symptoms and my practitioner said I’ve had one of the biggest copper dumps she has seen on a hair test. It’s taking a lot longer to heal than I thought but it’s good to know We are not alone in this journey!

 

[Snow1]

I know a lot of people here work out, but if your doing mineral balancing it’s advised not to as it takes energy to heal and working out smashes all your energy leaving not much for healing.

Yea I know. Not sure if I am dumping copper. I think I dumped copper last week because I did not sleep good, felt like I was on a stimulant and was very creative and wanting to make music and stuff. Which is a typical copper hobby from what I read online.

Pretty cool but I understand that some people get panicky from it. I felt kinda floating. I just ate some more eggs and zinc/sulfur foods seemed to lower the side effects.

This is more like liver issues I think since my skin is yellow and get irritated by everything. Like a hangover. A negative outlook as well. Sore throat, runny nose. It seems the working out plus the supplements put more pressure on the liver than it likes.

I know it is not recommended to workout and I understand why now. I feel more healing reactions on the days I did not workout the day before.

I don't want to stop working out though. Not because I am addicted to the high but I want to have muscles. I mean life is balanced. I sit on my ass all day at work I need some type of movement to not get posture issues and tight glutes, etcetera. I just don't max out. Still it does seem to affect me negatively this cycle.

Log update:

Cutting out carbohydrates like rice, sweet potatoes on non-workout days from now on. Was still eating quite a bit of them and I think cutting them out will speed up my progress. I notice on days where I eat less carbohydrates I get more signs of healing reactions (runny nose, sore throat, etc.)

Also my Ca/Mg ratio was high on the last test which was probably caused by excessive sugars from dairy and milk and rice (on that cycle).

I was a bit in denial about this. I was like "but muh carbs!!" a lot of times. But I know I need to cut them down to speed up the healing.

I will eat peas and stuff that is recommended by TEI obviously. But the starches I keep them low.

Overall I am moving in a good direction. I have a feeling I am getting better and that is powerful. My vision is also better on this cycle. Slowly everything comes together but it takes some hit and miss.

Anyone know if OCD is high copper?

This cycle have crazy OCD, earworms (music stuck in head), want to make music all the time, listen to music, can't stop doing certain things (I can but it is the feeling). Feel kinda similar how I was in my teens. Very artistic and creative but also melancholic and emotional. Kinda feel like I am high. Time goes pretty fast as well.

Sometimes I also get panicky. It is easy to control since I know what it is. Esp. people who are kinda uptight and want shit from you they get on my nerves and I get irritated, panicky and/or angry.

I did read that there is a correlation between high ceruloplasmin and OCD:

High ceruloplasmin levels are associated with obsessive compulsive disorder: a case control study

Good part is my vision and brainfog is getting better.

 

[MNK99]

prolly if high copper has a strong correlation with anxiety disorders, as per OCD being a specific type of anxiety disorder.

Ye it is a weird feeling. Like you are on the edge of insanity and chilling there. Violent thoughts as well from time to time. My testicles also hurt a bit. I do think I am speeding up in my recovery. It just seem more vigorous and in your face instead of fatigue and a depressed feeling.

I think iron just increasing your neurotransmitters. right now. dopamine, etc serotonin. etc

they fed you copper first, so when they increase your dopamine, you could convert it into noradrenaline.

Alright cool. Thanks

Just found out Chi took a lot of the same supps that I do right now. Vit C, Iron, Zinc, trace elements. Maybe iron is a key player here by increasing DHT. Not for all cases of course. But some.

I thought Chi recovered with CD's protocol, no?
