My journey and updates

[Snell1234]

Hi all

Been a member of this forum for a while and followed closely all the advice from Cdnuts, English and Chi (a big thanks to Cdnuts for the guidance both on this forum, other forums and private messages).

Won't go into my symptoms as there is no point - we all know what they are and there's no point obsessing over them.

My regime and journey has consisted of the following:

1. I had a parasite, blastocystis hominis, which was identified in a stool test. I also had low levels of all beneficial bacteria. After reading Chi's blog, I realised this was a good starting point. The first part of my journey was dedicated to removing this parasite from my body (i.e. the cleanse stage of Cdnuts' protocol but just done in a different way to him). This took a lot of effort and, unfortunately, the use of antibiotics to remove it.

2. I eat a paleo diet and carb back load at night (i.e. brown rice with my dinner). I eat lots of vegetables (both at lunch and dinner), beef, fish and nuts (macadamia nuts as they are the most gentle on the guts for me). I keep well hydrated, drinking only water.

3. I take probiotics and glutamine, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin D3, aloe vera, boswellia to heal my gut lining. I intermittently have sauerkraut as my fermented vegetables. I take s. boulardii daily.

4. I lift weights 3 times a week. I lift heavy and try to focus on compound exercises. I do have one session where I do my arms which isn't as compound based as the other 2 days. I am looking to add some sprints in in the upcoming weeks.

5. I listen to holosync daily.

I feel like my body needs another cleanse as my stool colour is off and I still have a lot of allergies i.e. to chemical smells, foods etc. I will be taking parex plus (a herbal combination of oregano oil, garlic, wormwood and lavender oil) to get rid of any pathogens still causing me problems in my gut. I feel another cleanse is necessary as I still get fungus on my feet and the yeast around my foreskin - signalling my gut needs a bit more work.

After the cleanse, I will look more into the testosterone boosting herbs but I would prefer to not have to add these in and rather increase my testosterone through weights.

I'll keep everyone updated on my journey.
