I have dropped all supplements since my last post. I started a heavy shed that coincided with dandruff/senhorreic dermatitis. I have since added a zinc/selenium shampoo on rotation which has slowed both the hair loss and dandruff.
My hair test states that I’m a Fast 1. Not sure what this correlates to at ARL. Lately, I have felt very catabolic (losing muscle, gaining fat). This confirms the fast oxidation.
My plan from here is to get the supplement recommendations from my practitioner and either take those or build my own protocol based on their recs.
Not taking any supps has been great for the mind. I have been able to have sex at will and have had hard morning wood. This has not been the case for 5 years. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m balancing from the Ella or dropping minerals and isolated vitamins.
Libido could be higher. Hair loss could be better. And lastly digestion is probably the most uncomfortable aspect of my recovery. My stools are not 100% solid and I get gassy from most foods. Especially dairy and gluten.
Will update when I start my TE protocol.

The last few months have been weird for me. Usually, I don’t get sick at all. But the past few months i have been getting sick every other week. Not exaggerating.
After I took Ella in December, I got a bad flu for 2 weeks. From January until now, I’ve been getting the same cold symptoms every other week.
Does anyone have an idea on what’s going on with my body in regards to PFS?

Might be a good thing, read RWAC log
I hope so because I feel like garbage half of the time now. I wonder if it’s causing low vit c or d.

Getting sick is actually a good thing. Body is inducing acidosis, while in PFS I never got the flu once.
Check out this thread: PFS and immune connection
Interesting. I’ve had 102 fever all day. Can’t remember the last time I’ve been this sick. Hopefully I’ll feel more recovered when this passes
@m_arch what do you think of my hair test? I ordered the test without the recs. However, I bought sympak(multi w/glandulars for fast oxidizers). I plan on taking that 3x a day. Also have copper, calcium, and mag on hand.
I saw you giving advice to others and would like to see what you think. Thanks!

Hmm looks like you need some rest. The ideal hair test yas higher magnesium and sodium. I think potassium only increases over sodium when youre burnt out.
Dont take zinc since ur copper is low
Honestly i havent much idea for 3 lows with high potassium. Check my signature "how to fix all mineral imbalances"
Copper boron chromium will probably be good for you

What does "burn out" really mean in this context? High stress hormones?
Thanks for the reply!

Was high, but now its low. Maybe sttess is still happening but your body isnt doing a good job mounting a response. Running too high for too long and it cant take it anymore
Thats what it looks like purely based off the test. The 3 lows indicates this too. There could be other genetic factors too, but i think its still best practice to balance the minerals

How are you doing? Better?
I was doing good on TE’s fast oxidizer multi vit + copper + calcium. This protocol lasted a week until I got really sick 5 days ago. I haven’t taken anything since. I had literally 0 erections from the second I got a fever until yesterday.
I feel my libido and emotions coming back though. Once the blisters in my throat heal, I’ll jump back on that same protocol.
What will boron and chromium do for me? They are both in ideal range.

As far as i know they help magnesium
Quick update:
THE GOOD:
Libido and erections are back to prefin 100%.
They are better than when I was using cialis during PFS.
Digestion seems better for the most part. Less bloating and better stools.
Hair loss seems minimal. My head is shaved but not seeing any in my hands or in the shower.
Also, drinking alcohol doesn't cause me any problems anymore.
THE BAD:
In my last update, I mentioned I got sick... Well I got really sick and couldn't eat or drink water.
I went from 192 lbs to 180 in 5 days. I can't gain any weight back, which is a bummer because I am 6'3. Too thin for me.
Also, I have been sweating like crazy. I feel very hot all the time.
Not sure if is this from improved digestion or not.
Supplements:
-Sym-pak from TEI
-mag Chloride or mag citrate (200mg)
-Boron (3mg)
-Taurine (2g)
Diet:
-High Fat
-High Protein
-Low complex carbs
-Drinking lots of water
-Sauteed veggies as much as possible.

Just the one. It’s for fast oxidizers. I talked to my rep and she said that’s the most important along with higher dose mag. Betaine hcl was reccomended and is on the way.
