I’m really trying to avoid these forums to try and live my life normally while I do this protocol, but I see lots of discussion here so gonna do a small rundown of what I’ve done.
Fasting: I recently completed a 3 1/2 day water fast, felt quite good during it, wasn’t difficult at all. A bit of trouble with sleep during it. Going to go for a week long fast in December.
Herbs: I’ve ordered more herbs from lost empire, I tried out their pine pollen and so far in the 2 days I’ve taken it it’s made me better on those days, so I’m going all in with the protocol in that regard. This brings my herb total to 10, up from 4, once everything comes in. I am completely and utterly ignoring all fear mongering against herbs on this forum, because tribulus is not the reason your dick is shrunk, it’s the Finasteride.
I did not use CDnuts’s affiliate links but I honestly don’t have anything against CDnuts. He’s a business major anyways, correct? This is just simply a small passive income for him. But honestly, I don’t think there’s nearly enough money to be made from affiliate links (half of which are dead) to justify running a forum and replying to people as frequently as he does now, despite being nearly 8 years post recovery. There has to be some sort of genuine dedication coming from him. But regardless, I’ve yet to speak a word to him, and feel no reason to go beyond lurking the forum.
Everything else about my routine is the same as recommended by CDnuts on his wordpress site. The paleo diet, exercise, cold showers, meditation, sun exposure, and I’m currently on day 5 nofap, going to go for a month. It’s a kitchen sink protocol, really. Throw everything in, and pray that after a few months you’re recovered. Before the fast, doing the protocol, I was seeing improvements, but struggling with caffeine heavily, it just wasn’t working for me. Too much ups-and-downs. Now caffeine is out of my system, and I have a crap ton of herbs coming in the mail soon. I’m going balls deep into the protocol.
