Last few days have been hell. Feeling slight nausea during the whole day, extemely cold and very shallow/short breating. Each breath is very small and sometimes I don't even breath for 10-20 seconds. Also extreme tired and it has gotten to the point that I can't function anymore at work, brain fog is insane. Feeling asexual and no feelings in my dick.

Nausea feels like a 'metal' one, like I used to get when I took zinc on an empty stomach, although I don't take zinc right now but only copper. My stools are also very yellow.

Didn't think this TEI round would be this extreme.


what are you taking? zinc?

Seems like fast oxidizers feel like shit on cycles and slow oxidizers don't. Just an observation, not sure if valid.

No I haven't taken zinc at all in the current cycle (3-4 weeks now). My previous cycle did have zinc. Right now I'm on:
- Sympia (Sym-Pack)
- Min-Plex-B
- Copper Plus
- Vitamine E Plus

Starting that same stack tomorrow along with digestzyme or whatever they call it. Now I’m nervous! Sym pack and copper used to make me feel cured though. We’ll see this time.

Diget V-zyme? They don't sell it over here. I have some digestive enzymes which I occasionally add to my meals, however I have a feeling they don't really help my digestion. Or maybe they do and aid in better absorption of the other TEI supplements, hence the heavy detox or negative side effects. I do feel they cause some constipation, the enzymes.

I think this is normal. I also had this on the first cycle. I would take naps when I could.

This cycle is better as long as I eat enough animal protein with the supplements - red meat, eggs. I got this tip from Lewis Rolands from Deep Healing Space when I watched his video about copper toxicity. TEI also recommends red meat, eggs to me.

It is not just the supplements, it is the diet as well. If I do not eat enough animal protein I feel worse.

Meat, eggs, dairy all have things like zinc, calcium, taurine, creatine, magnesium, vitamin d, selenium, sulfur, amino acids, etc. Do not underestimate the power of quality food. The supplements are there to speed things up but the diet is just as important. So also keep in mind to eat enough of the suggested diet to you.

Also do not take hot showers when you are in PFS. Take short cold showers.

I agree, 90% of my diet consists of TEI recommendations. Lots of eggs, fat dairy, potatoes, lentils etc. The only missing thing is red meat, which I probably only eat once or twice a week. I might need to add more salmon or other fatty fish for the purine, which aid in calcium absorption.

I've removed the whey from my diet, because I don't work out heavy anymore. Might add that back in.

One thing I forgot to mention is that my appetite has been destroyed this week, which makes it even harder to get all the nutrients.

@RebelWithACause , I saw they recommended the half-baked Enzyma version to you, did you order it?

Yes I did. I also had some left from the last time. Helps with digestion for me. I do well on this. First cycle saw good improvement already, did not expect that. Hopefully more this cycle.

I do think it is important to get all nutrients and I might order the supplements for third cycle from that English website.

But as long as the overall way you are going in is good - for example for me it seems they are pushing a lot of zinc, vitamin C, B6 - lowering estrogen/copper - then you will be fine. As long as you also eat the diet and are consistent with supplementation.

Many PFS guys got better taking stuff without a hairtest (zinc, magnesium, b6, calcium for example). There was a guy who took 100mg B6 for 5 months or so and got cured.

As I said before I want to see if Dutch TEI works. And I got good improvement after the first cycle. If I get more improvement after this cycle I will stick with it. This cycle I will also do 2 months. I decided to do the first 3 cycles for 2 months.

Which English website? All of them I spoke to weren't allowed to ship to The Netherlands, hence being stuck with haartest.nl.

I see. Never delved into it but I see they only ship within UK. Then we are stuck with this indeed.

It is not too hard to add the extra nutrients in it though. I will do that next cycle. I will see what the results are from this cycle on the hair test and how I feel.

Why is this? I always feel like shit after a warm shower and great after cold shower but never knew why?

Also Ingeno any updates?
I have good and bad days, feeling pretty weak and no motivation to hit the gym or do anything at work. I fall asleep pretty easy so that's a plus and last weekend I had crazy libido and sex, while in general my libido was pretty weak on this cycle. Some weeks I can really enjoy music and other weeks I feel no emotion while listening to music I love.

So I'm really going all places but the biggest thing I miss is feeling energized and the joy of lifting in the gym. I really hope that feeling comes back soon because muscle loss is becoming more visible at the moment.

Yes on the cycle I also had this. Muscles looked very flat and I was weak. You will feel better off the supplements in the gym. I feel strong in the gym now again. Muscles are fuller.

OK. I am a FAST 2 and noticed we take the exact same supplement at the moment
- Sympia (Sym-Pack)
- Min-Plex-B
- Copper Plus
- Vitamine E Plus

Im 5 weeks in and I now how bad flu symptoms feels like I've got high fever even if I dont. Made a mistake and ate alot of ice cream and then the flu symptoms started. Trying to drink lots of water hoping it will go away.

I've noticed my hairline is taking a hit on this cycle and its scary AF, also have thinning all over...how is that going for you? Hoping TEI will eventually fix this even though at the moment it seems to accelerate the hairloss

My temples are slowly being destroyed, which is hard to watch. I also had the the itchy scalp itch for a few years, probably diffuse thinning? And on this 2nd cycle I have a few days where I notice zero itch and a few days where I have the itch now and then, maybe has something to do with certain foods. I still notice increase scalp itch on milk, but not on yogurt for example, which is weird. Anyway I hope the 3th or 4th cycle will reduce my temple loss.

I am in the same situation as weel, I feel flue symptoms and fever symptoms everyday, I Always feel very weak.
This is happening since I started a lot of carbo everyday (I am a slow 4)...but the positive aspect of this diet is that it has calmed down my UC a lot, no more blood for the moment.

Also did they offer your digestive supplements, which one and are you taking them?
