Had some adrenal fatigue for awhile, and even on my days off, couldnt sleep longer than 6 hours if wanted to. Days and days of this wore out my adrenals. I learned that i can only do so much in one day, and i must calm that down. Well i still had to get up super early for work the last two days.. and i finally had today off, so i slept an amazing 9 hours!! Woke up, went to the bathroom, best shit of my life, and it completely cleaned me out. Zero gas afterwards. I am good! Drank my coffee, herb, and gym in the morning, and have felt almost euphoric all day!
The adrenals and gut/digestive system are very connected! So remember that! Even though i believe in and follow a high calorie/high protein diet which works for me, (within the paleo realm), i still try not to over work my digestive system.
Been on the herbs for 3 weeks just about now. I have not seen a new baseline sexually. I am doing the protocol. Yes, i DO feel great, things finally clicked over today, and i am high on life today, but ive felt this way before. Zero sexual progress. Im sick and pissed off at this shit. They have not made me worse, but im not any better either. I am the exact same sexually as i have been for awhile.
I have healed everything else that was wrong with me now, through this protocol. All but the sexual.
The herbs do not seem to work for me sexually. Im really pissed off and dont know what to do with myself, as far as this goes. The only ones that DO seem to work for me sexually are, horny goat weed, maca, and maybe tribulus. It doesnt matter the brand. I have responded well to prolab horny goat weed, and also have responded well to lost empire herbs horny goat weed.
They seem to work for literally everyone else though. I just wish they would work for me the way they work for everyone else. I keep hearing about many others getting the prestige/proverbial "spontaneous erections". And morning wood. While im frustrated, im happy for them, and i would never take that away from them. I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy. I havent had a spontaneous erection in over a decade. I need stimulation for that. Before PFS, the wind could blow at my junk, and it would trigger a spontaneous erection.
Really fed up!
I am not a quitter, and never will. I will keep doing this protocol. But i am very disappointed in my reaction to the herbs.
3 days ago, i started to get really JACKED in the gym again! It has all come back almost. I feel great.
I was thinking that maybe i need to fast EVEN MORE, because i took actual propecia for 8 years on and off. I am one of the longest users of the drug. And one of the longest sufferers. But today i realized that i dont need to fast anymore. I did my research, and thought about things.
Cdsnuts recommends for pfs, either a 2 week juice feast, or at least a 2 week water fast. But he himself, did 45 days on juice, a 14 day water fast, and like three 21-day water fasts. But he says only one good long fast should be enough to do the trick. He was literally all alone in this... he was one of the firsts, if not THE first. He had noone to guide him in the right direction, like myself and others have him here on this forum. Maybe some of his fasts were unnecessary, but it probably doesnt matter to him anymore, because he is HEALED.
BUT... he also says it depends on how many fat reserves your body has. I have always, my whole life, had a super fast metabolism, and i am cut to the core. I have done 23 days worth of juice feasting, between two different long fasts. I realized today that i dont need to fast anymore.
I thought that because i was always in good shape physically, that i was "okay". But i definitely had PFS. That's why it took me so long to get here. I didnt get off the drug completely until 6 years ago. 7-8 years usage of the drug total (with a few breaks in between).
Im just pissed that these herbs arent giving me the sexual benefit like it does to everyone else. They didnt seem to work for me before my 7 day juice feast, after my 7 day juice feast, and after 15 my day juice feast. But i could always use the prolab horny goat weed capsules, and i respond to them immediately!
Like i said, i am not a quitter, and i will keep going forward with this, and continuing the protocol 100%. This is the only way, and the only thing that makes sense. Ill keep acquiring more herbs too. But man im frustrated with the herbs. Theyre legit for everyone else, but not for me. Only some. I am ordering pine pollen powder as we speak. The 250 gram big. For everyday use. And ill still be doing my 1-herb-a-day rotation on top of this as well. This is my last hope with herbs.
My true last hope is the DHT prohormone super andro rx (while in conjunction with the rest of the protocol). I feel great right now, no doubt about it. My body responds to training, and a good diet. But ive been down this road already before. I want the sexual back. I want the sexual function i was born with!!!!!!!
