Shrinkage shrinkage shrinkage....

[Helen]

@bruschi11 as I posted to you , that all people with CFS which were tested on our russian forum, they found that they have crazy amounts of mallasezia restricta fungus.

This fungus is found in people with IBD cron's etc. it grows since there is a problem with fat metabolism and PH. since this fungus eats fat

Finasteride causing copper bioavailability problems, could cause fungus to grow

But also since when fungus overgrows, it is of course better to kill it first since then you release enzyme ALDH which converts aldehydes and you free up alot of NAD , this way,

and this NAD then goes to make progesterone.


and if NAD goes low, then there is a lot of lactate forming to make this extra NAD

and also SAH can't be converted into homocysteine since enzymes which converts SAH which is high on most tests for PFS people needs NAD as a cofactor

I don't understand this all at the crazy molecular level like you do here, but man I just get it and its such an avenue everyone here should be exploring. Everyone.

Looking at the guys struggling with mineral balancing right now. @Admiral please look into this man, have organic acids testing done its a great marker for showing fungus, candida and can tell you a lot more about your health.

I'm currently RIFING Candida and just got a random erection. I rarely get these lol. Probably a coincidence but who knows. I'm on lots of colloidal silver right now to go with it, black seed oil, monolaurin, some herbs, while fasting on bone broth this week.

EDIT: also using malic acid to help clean up the mess and doing some coffee enemas in morning. Coffee enemas are producing Liver flush type stones every time and some big ones! This was happening last year when I got better but less, smaller stones. Hasn't happened since my hydrogen fiasco.

I thought that balancing the body will work out the candida by itself?

Eliminating Candida is impossible if copper isn’t working as it should. But I am happily taking in suggestions..

 

[RebelWithACause]

Well I can say I probably had something like candida.

I had bloating of the stomach, tired, psoriasis and one that stayed very long: CARB CRAVING. All signs of candida.

Now on TEI after the two cycles and on this cycle my carb cravings have gone to a minimum. I don't crave carbohydrates at all. I just eat some of them on workout days mostly. Really weird. Never felt like this lol. I always used to crave carbs like crazy. Especially starch.

Now I eat a bit of rice and it does not taste good. It is like my body does not want it anymore. Fruit, milk sugar (lactose) seem to do better for me and I do like that on workout days in small amounts (fructose).

@Admiral do you have carb cravings

Sometimes in order to get balanced you have to move obstacles in the way. So yes- once you are balanced the body won't see candida as a threat and it will in low amounts as something that more so helps your body. But in a body that is struggling to find its balance, stuff in the way such as candida and pathogens could be holding the body back from finding its balance.

Think of it- pathogens, candida- they eat minerals, fats... they keep you from going in the correct direction.

Good stuff. Yea even after Lyme treatment I've been craving carbs like crazy. Candida, yeast, fungus whatever has still been freakin there and now I'm finally going after it.

I wasn't like I was in late 2017 when I got better and healed my gut fully.

I went 1st antibiotics for pathogens--> 2nd colloidal silver and herbs, sauna, coffee enemas, colostrum, juicing (NB kind of), multivitamins, Okinawa diet, rife/lasers and then some juice fasting and water fasting w/ probiotic enemas.

I think part 2 is what really cured my candida to large degree and got me to a realllly good place to build off of. I probably could have done it with a lot less than I list above there. Colloidal I think is incredible.

Followed that with RU/ Prog which got my dick going a bit more and then going zinc finger was like WHOA and I ended up threatening to pummel PVDL if I saw him on the streets because I knew anything was freakin possible and every single one of us can get better LOL.

I'm cheering for you so much @Admiral . I really think you can do it. I like your andro idea too and how you're really focusing in on zinc/copper.

I am looking to start another cycle as soon as they have my true oxidation rate, with that, enema's, liver flushes and a healthy lifestyle, that's all I can do. I've fought candida in the past, but it never worked and only made me weaker.

Not really. I did have these massive hunger attacks years ago when in fact I just stuffed myself with food. The candida shows itself in the white spots on my skin, soft stools, the bloating, prostatitis and red/itchyness on my love muscle, which always worsened after I tried antibiotics for my prostatitis. Since I am into mineral balancing, even with wrong hair tests, I've seen flare ups and periods where it seems gone completely. This makes me a believer that an accurate program will take care of it in the end.

Thanks bro. I'm watching you carefully a well. You're an inspiration.
The Andro-protocol might only help the sexual sides, and I am looking at the greater picture. In fact I think my copper related issues are worrying me much more than the sexual/androgen side effects.

 

[bruschi11]

@Admiral I appreciate it but you're more of an inspiration. You've been going a long time very hard. Keep going- it will come.

still looking to hear from people (here) who fixed shrinkage issues tried to get some motivation from PH but you know how that doesn't do any good. my somewhat reasonable bulge I had with pfs is becoming non existent

@helpisontheway
You and I have very similar symptoms. I had really high estrogen as well. RU totally f’d me badly but it did bring my estrogen back into range. In fact all my hormones are in range. Unfortunately shrinkage is as bad as it’s ever been.

Also used an anti-fungal recently. It cleared up my feet but that’s the only benefit I saw. (My feet have been covered in white tough skin for years...never even realized it was fungus).

Sorry man, wish I could be more helpful. I just wanted to let you know that, in my case, bringing down my high estrogen did absolutely nothing to help with shrinkage or any other symptom.

I recently started to decalcify the body, I found fibrosis in tissue is caused by calcium deposits. I believe it's helped over my muscle contraction as well as penile appearance, though I take cycles of hormones as well... still, you want to check out:
Pineal Gland Detox: 11 Powerful Supplements for Restoring Pineal Health

I take iodine, B1, B5 in the morning

magnesium, K2/D3, Glycine, Mucuna as night

I'm going to add Shilajit to help break up more minerals stuck... it's interesting that @Minime lists fungal issues as I believe Fin messed up our thyroids which limits blood flow to sex organs... iodine will help that recover

Two more things to try, dmso directly on the penis to open blood vessels and break up fibrosis... You can use straight DMSO or mix with iodine drops. In fact, I recall a wet dream from that prior to bed, I may get back to using that.

You can try T3 hormone straight, to drop any RT3 and get body temp up, blood flow up & any fungal issues down. Going back to what I just said, FIN messed up our thyroids and I believe our body temps were altered as well, making us rife for fungal infections as I too had one bad toenail while on fin and never before... and it's since healed itself.

I believe you want to focus on blood flow and decalcify your tissue...

I’m doing something similar. Low dose thyroid, low dose antibiotic, k2, mag, b6. Feeling great when I support this with enough carbs.

My temps have been really low so I assume this is due to damaged thyroid.

You know what @brix , last week I was feeling really good, sexually I mean... but low on energy... I also had strep throat which I took a week's work of Azrithromycin for (zPak) ... I'm also low carb right now...

You have tweaked my interest bro... as I didn't *think* I was feeling so good (libido wise) due to the antibiotics but now I wonder... could that be what made last week stand out for me??

Man, I got some testing to do now for sure...

Which antibiotics are you taking?

Oh why didn't you add D3 to your mix? It's a good addition to this for hormone related support...

thank you bro @brix !!!

I’ve always had high D3 and calcium in blood. Vit d brings more calcium to blood. K2 to bring it to bones.

I’m on 50mg minocycline. My BMs have been consistent, as well as having good libido and MW. I was turned on to this antiobiotic because I’ve read it can help seb derm and inflammatory arthritis, and it’s definitely helping. Hair looks good too.

@joekool
I just finished four weeks of azithromycin. The only impact it had on me is weight gain. Which, to be honest, feels great. Muscle wasting has always been one of my more severe symptoms of PFS so I welcome the fat. Unfortunately I know this is due to the antibiotic’s impact on my gut microbiome so now I need to work on rebuilding my micrbiome correctly.

By the way also taking thyroid and D3 w/K2.

 

[joekool]

Very interesting guys

@brix & @Minime thank you... I'll be researching

Joe, azrithromycin is a macrolide. Macrolides increase 11beta-hsd.

This raises cortisol, same as licorice root. Macrolides increase the expression of 11β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 in human sinonasal epithelium, contributing to glucocorticoid activation in sinonasal mucosa

Macrolides increase the expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 in human sinonasal epithelium, contributing to glucocorticoid activation i... - PubMed - NCBI


This is why when asthmatic takes this antibiotic , they don't need cortisol supplements. since this antibiotic, STOPS breaking down of cortisol. Stops metabolism of cortisol and this raises cortisol levels, same exact as licorice root.



This stilt was used by many for PFS . test plus thyroid plus hydrocortisone. Justquitdut protocol was posted. many times.


I too when I got PFS first, did not know it was PFS, and thought it was some kind of infection. etc. and took antibiotics for a month. And felt totally normal while on it.


This is why you felt better.

minocylcine does a lot more than antibiotic, it is basically same as taking SSRI. Which on our russian forum help all fast oxidizers to feel normal.

Azrithromycin gave @Ocguy good libido when he was on it too. @joekool

I've mentioned this before but it bears repeating.. i feel thyroid hormone isn't hitting the receptors properly.. same reason why we get estrogen dominant despite proper testosterone/e lab numbers

I used to do blood microscopy alot, and everytime the practitioner looked at my dry blood she said I was hypothyroid, (5 or 6 times in the course of a few years) even when I had perfect t3, t4 blood values
