Each individual is different. You have to keep that in mind. It all depends on what other factors are at play… With me, my thyroid is still messed up and not functioning right and my dybiosis is not under control. Its a vicious cycle, one affecting the other and vice versa. Thus that still leaves me with anxiety and brain fog, but I am confident that both will be resolved once I start getting enough thyroid hormone. Probably no one on this board has the extensive thyroid damage that I have.

Drgreene- My wiener looks fine. Its sensitive though not 100% like it was. My orgasms are orgasmic…

No offense meant by this toad, but I talked to you on FB and you didn’t really have PFS as bad as many of us do/did to begin with.

A fair point, however it doesn’t mean much. You of all people would benefit from what I’m preaching, especially because I have knowledge of your situation. Throwing hormones at a situation will NEVER get you better I can promise you that. As hopeless as your situation may appear to be, I really think that you can work out your issues. I recommend working with Chris Kresser, a natural medicine guru. Hes actually helped guys w/ pfs.

Would be interested in how you would respond to Nystatin since you are already half way there…

#15

Yes it would but it’s like dropping a nuclear bomb in your gut. Ill only go that route if what I’m doing now fails… Getting rid of yeast the natural way takes longer obviously.

#16

you started talking about failure? why?

#17

Failure to kill yeast w/ herbal anti-fungals… Yeast can be a pain in the arse. I’m not going to fail, I’ve come to far already.

Hey toadstool,

First off congrats on your progress man! I’m glad that the actions you’ve undertaken are moving you in the right direction. Thanks for coming back to share your findings.

On your penile sensitivity… can you elaborate a bit? Has it improved gradually throughout the course of your regimen? Where was it initially? (ie… I’d guess my current sensitivity is like 30%-40% of what it should be)

Do you use any drugs/herbs to assist in the bedroom?

Thanks for the feedback,

Everyone has one form of metabolic syndrome. Find yours.

"The problem is that cortisol (along with epinephrine) is also a sympathetic nervous system hormone involved in the “flight or fight” response. This response includes an increase in heart rate and lung action and an increase in blood flow to skeletal muscles to help us defend against or flee from danger. Cortisol’s role is to increase the amount of glucose available to the brain, enhance tissue repair, and curb functions – like digestion, growth and reproduction – that are nonessential or even detrimental in a fight or flight situation. "

This is PFS in a nutshell people…

Komas- If you consider food a drug… then yes. Why are you so focused on my individual symptoms? My sensitivity is fine. It feels nice when its in a vagina. Focus on the ideology of the treatment, not the state of my dick.

#20

Yikes… not the response I was expecting. I’m not really worried about your dick bro. What I was curious about was simply your estimation of how much your sensitivity improved as a result of your protocol. It helps to gauge how much progress I should expect from this kind of strategy. It’s just a question though… if you’re not comfortable with answering it that’s cool.

Thanks for your detailed initial post in any case.
Cheers,

I’d love to try to see if I could duplicate your results. Where did you buy your grass fed bone broth? How much did you drink? Was one cup a day enough to see benefits?

#22

You ungrateful little shit!

#23

I was drinking 5 cups a day

#24

How did you get the bone broth? I went to whole foods and they had no clue. Did you make it yourself? I really appreciate you coming back here and posting about your recovery.

#25

yes we have lost collagen and elastine besides many things. bone soup will help with collagen loss.

#26

toadstool

it takes quit a lot of time to cook bone broth (you said you ate it 5 times a day).
I think I cannot handle that with my work.
What do you think?

#27

Joetz- That’s stunning. It’s quite easy, all you need is soup bones(100% grass fed),distilled water (smart water), and a crock pot. You can find out how all over the web, just search.

Keepup- I can understand that. Make a bunch on the weekends and freeze for later use or eat McDonald’s.

I don’t want you all to think that I think that bone broth is some miracle cure that I’m touting. It will definitely help relief some symptoms but its not a cure all and that’s not what I meant by posting about it. In fact, one PSFer, who will remain nameless did the exact same thing I did. We pretty much worked as a team and have the same overall belief, and he isnt doing any better per say. Although his situation is much more complex then my own and probably anyone else’s for that matter… Its all about relieving systemic inflammation. I know, sounds so easy right? If you want me to get into more detail I’d say look into testing TH1-TH2 testing, and find out which is more dominant pathway of your immune system and look into getting a Metametrix stool test for the love of god. Then supplement accordingly. When your immune system gets out of whack, infections arise. I have a proven fungal infection, (fungus/yeast). Whats this from? Abusing my body by taking antibiotics and Propecia. When you put your body into a Fight or Flight state, your body WILL SHUT DOWN SEXUAL FUNCTION because it does not need it to function. That’s why your dicks are numb. Remove infections, find causes of systemic inflammation, and I promise you your dick will work again. But if you keep injecting your ass w/ more hormones, I promise you, you will NEVER get better. EVER. And don’t sit looking on this website for 6 hours a day. Its counter productive. When I come on , it’s only to check out my own personal thread to help you all. The mods of this forum will not help you, they simply do not know what the hell they are talking about. Obviously the approach they’re taking IS NOT WORKING. The only ones who got help were the ones who thought outside the box and didn’t sit on this forum for 6 hours a day, waiting and hoping for the next person to cite the next cool supplement to try. Now excuse me while I go bake in the sun on this glorious 86 degree day here in the windy city.

Can’t fault that advice to be honest. He is right. Look at anyone that has recovered on this website. Look at what JN, IHP, CDnuts have done/ are doing.

Toadstool, have you looked at hs CRP (C-reactive protein) as a measure of systemic inflammation? the guy is the article below drastically reduced inflammation levels that gave him cancer using the paleo diet, magnesium and cold thermogenesis.

jackkruse.com/cold-thermogenesis-11-paleo-fx-to-practice/

What are TH1-TH2?

#29

How long have your “basic recovery” lasted?

#30

CRP simply put is a bad marker of inflammation. Its totally unreliable. In Jack’s case he had SEVERE inflammation caused from IE: CANCER. None of us, as bad it may appear to be, have that bad of inflammation going on. Otherwise we would register high CRP’s, if you do have high CRP then you should be worried. Jack is a tad nuts, especially about his cold thermogenesis, but I do enjoy some of his blog postings. He even told me that he believed that PFS really comes down to systemic inflammation via responding to some of my questions that I wrote him on his blog.

Th1 and TH2 are cytokines. (T-cells and B-Cells). They regulate the immune system. You want balance, but I would say we all pretty much have a dominant pathway and that is not how it is suppose to be. In my case, 90% of hashimoto’s patients are TH1 dominant. Meaning stimulating the TH2 system would help bring balance to my immune system. Thus turning down the volume of my auto-immune condition. You can’t cure it, but remission is very possible. Its a process, Its going to take me probably 3-4 months to figure it out and work out the kinks. Another example of a TH1 dominant disorder is candidiasis.
