Okay people. So I have made many random posts on here and many people think I’m talking out of my ass, but I think I have found out something close as to what the hell is wrong with us with science reasoning behind it. I have said many times that when I eat only vegetables and meat, that my penis sensitivity returns and my hairs starts to fall out. Well I got lazy on my diet and guess what happened… my hair stopped falling out and my penis started losing sensitivity.
I went back on the “leaky gut” diet only to find that my hair is not falling out anymore and I felt like I went back into place and had to rethink what the hell was wrong with me as it might not be directly “leaky gut”. I looked at some food that I was eating and found that I was eating celery when I hadn’t before. Celery through my research tells me that it helps to stop the production of T -> E. I all ready know that anything that stops this production is bad, this I’m still unsure of, so I cut celery out. I started doing extensive research into nitric oxide as it seemed like the only plausible thing to me as to what was happening and I found out some amazing information. I found out that the diet that I was on was extremely high in both nitrites and nitrates.
Nitrites and nitrates can be the precursor to nitric oxide. As in, the body can use both nitrites and nitrates to produce nitric oxide in the body. Foods I was eating a lot was romaine lettuce mostly, lots of romaine lettuce. Don’t ask me why, but I thought that other veggies like spinach and broccli where causing me more problems and not helping and for some reason I felt I didn’t get a bad reaction from it… I simply thought this was “leaky gut” related and didn’t matter.
So I went to the store and bought a lot of lettuce (lettuce is way high in nitrates/nitrites). I also bought beet juice because it’s one of the foods that highest in nitrites in nitrates. I ate these two things A LOT for about 2 days and guess what… my hair started getting itchy and falling out. I just want to note if I eat other stuff bad stuff besides this, the hair falling out stops. This tells me that this HAS to be related to nitric oxide production.
Now the problem I’m running into here is that since I’m eating foods high in nitrites/nitrates, it’s allowing my body I guess to produce nitric oxide. However, when I don’t do this, my hair stops falling out and I go backwards. So what I’m wondering is that if somewhere in my digestion, my body is somehow unable to produce nitric oxide correctly/blocking it through regular food or nitric oxide is not properly being sent to the penis. I think by eating foods high in nitrites/nitrates, I’m basically skipping over the body’s responsiblity to produce NO through digestive means, and I’m simply putting a ton of nitrites/nitrates into my body which gets turned into NO.
I want to say that this only started happening (my hair falling out) when I started taking a plant based digestive enzyme + the foods high in nitrites/nitrates. So the digestive enzymes in this process tell me that they help greatly. I stopped taking digestive enzymes, but now my hair falls out when I eat foods high in nitrates/nitrites so I’m wondering if maybe I’m moving along the process here of getting better.
The main problem I’m running into is that it’s damn near impossible to find information regarding the exact mechanisms taking place. I found research that said some bacteria or something in the gential tract is responsible for NO production (I would need to find this article, not sure if I can) possibly, I also found information about all the precursors to nitric oxide and what it takes for them to work.
Does anyone know of any doctors that know about this? Does anyone know how NO production completes in the body EXACTLY? Or can anyone help me research this and find the gems that I’m missing?
Also, if I’m producing NO via nitrites/nitrates, do you think I’m reactivating my DHT? I’d say probably yes since hair falling out = high DHT? Could NO be the main problem factor in this?
This is where I’m at and stuck right now… also, PS, please don’t leave a message saying this is bullshit unless you tried something similar to this and tell me your experience with it.
