I'm cured

Well…I used to love getting banged up…I mean love it. Drugs…alcohol…you name it. Seeing as your just starting to heal, unfortunately you need to stay sober for as long as it takes. And then when you feel normal, stay sober another six months longer. I can partake in drinking twice maybe three times a month now. I have fun, it’s comfortable, and it feels like it used to feel, which I love. I do it socially now. But through this whole thing I’ve learned there are more important things in life then numbing yourself to the point of oblivion. I actually prefer to be sober most of the time now. I feel BETTER when i am, and better when I stay that way. This was an unintented side effect of just doing it for so long.

You need to let your brain healed. I’ve always said alot of this is brain related and I stick to that statement. Our Gaba channels were screwed up and damaged and the last thing you need to be doing is taking something that is going to retard their function even more. But yes, when I was recovering, if I were to drink and get bombed, I would have the absolute worst hangover ever known to man and be shot out for days on end. Anxious, no sleep, just horrible. I shudder at the thought. I had to swear it off for good…that is until I recovered.

I know it’s not what you want to hear, but I’m not here to blow smoke. Do yourself a favor and stay sober.

Hey cdnuts,

Did you have any dry eye and or visual issues?

Thanks.

#103

Thanks.

#104

Dry eyes are from low T.

If you have dry eyes take fish oils it will help.

#105

The forerunner labs stuff is okay at best. It’s underdosed, so you’ll have to feel it out. It’s flavored in a dissolvable mintly altoid type pill that you melt in your mouth. The taste of strong mint three times a day gets annoying.

#106

That is what I feared and kind of already knew. Thanks for the reply though - means a lot. Time to clean up my act once and for all.

Back in the day when I was OBSESSED with this forum I read a lot of your old posts leading me to raw food, fasting and a bunch of other extremely useful tools in recovery and now you’ve come back with all this stuff.

Man, it means so much and inspires me to keep going even on the days where all hope seems to be lost.

If you’re ever in London would be great to buy you a non-alcoholic drink!

#107

Good. That’s the only reason I shared in the first place, so glad to hear it. It was a work in progress as I went through the years, as you can see. If I had to do it all over again, and thank god I don’t, My current outline Is what I believe to be sufficient to get guys up and running again in a shorter amount of time…although the time part is up for debate.

Remember…CONSISTENCY over TIME is gonna get you where you want to be. You can’t waiver and you must be diligent in sticking to the program. You have to make it a way of life.

If I’m ever in London, I’ll let you buy me the real thing.

Some resources:

www.juicefeasting.com They just came out with and updated program. You can find the info for free on the site, although the site is huge and quite daunting. No need to buy into the members area.

boost-your-low-testosterone. … s-big.html People are getting good results with testicle painting as outlined on this site.

#109

Is the testicle painting thing for real ? It sounds like a scam.

I have begun this protocol. Things I am changing:

Not fasting. Perhaps this is a mistake, but I will not risk losing 20 pounds of muscle I just built. If I get no results, I will give fasting a go. Also, I am not getting the Primordial Performance product right away, I am trying the other things first.

I have gotten all the supplements as listed on the boost testosterone page, and will cycle accordingly. I already do heavy weights 4-5 times a week, and will continue, plus I will add sprinting 2-3 times a week. I have switched to a full 100% paleo diet, and will be extremely strict in adhering to it. I will carb backload as well.

Also, cdnuts, just to be clear, are you affiliated with the boost testosterone page in any way? Also, did you purchase your supplements in the package the boost test page links to? Thanks again.

#111

Hi Cdnuts,

I’m curious why you only did 4 cycles of AH? Why not more? Also, did you feel cured at 2 or 3 but did 4 cycles just in case or did it take the full 4?

Thanks so much!!

molybedenu I highly recommend to try fasting, if you are afraid of losing too much muscles, you could add one meal a day with max. 500kcal which should consist of mainly protein. Fasting could also be beneficial for building up muscles because it increases the sensitivity to insulin in your muscles.

I did a 10 day waterfast (2 1/2 weeks ago) and am experiencing some promising changes right now. I don’t want to go into too much details because I first want to make sure these changes stay. When I have my old weight, I’m planning to do another fast.

#113

I think you’re off to a strong start. If you’re exercising already then you’re doing better then most guys who aren’t. If you have strength and energy to exercise, then you will most likely be fine without the fast. For people that are extremely toxic and have been on pharmaceutical after pharmaceutical, fasting is, IMO, necessary for a faster recovery.

I am not affiliated with that website, although I can see how it would appear that way. I point people to that site because almost EVERYTHING that is “pro-recovery” is already listed there and right on point. It resonates with me.

I never purchased all of my sups. from that site either. TBH, I think the physicians formula stuff is underdosed compared to sups. I’ve bought through other companies. They do sell non physicians formula brands from there as well. As far as a consolidated place for information, that site is the best.

I think it’s a wise choice to forgo the Prohormones before you give the other stuff a try, especially seeing as androhard is almost impossible to find these days.

Remember…Consistency over time is what you have to aim for.

#114

Not a scam. I wouldn’t post anything remotely close to one. It’s a way for guys who are really bad off to get the necessary cofactors QUICKLY into there systems. You have to decide how bad you want to heal. How much convenience are you willing to give up? It all comes with a price.

^^^^^This is not a fast.

#116

CdNuts so by fasting is that eating nothing for the two weeks you specify and if so how can you survive that much time without any food?

#117

when you fast, you stop eating EVERYTHING. no potato chips, no advil, no meds. just water (the better the water, the better the fast; don’t fast with tap water).

when you stop eating, your body turns on certain genetic switches that modify how your body governs it’s own internal processes. this is how your body survives. Your immunity will increase, endogenous antioxidants like glutathione will increase along with free radical scavenging. Your body consumes it’s own fat for energy. Metabolically, this provides a very different feel than burning carbs, etc. There is really so much that fasting does, and it’s the price of your water to boot.

Long story short, everything about fasting is f*ck!ng fabulous for your DNA. You’ll be much more hormonally sensitive after you break your fast. It’s also a really humbling experience.

#118

pax,

How is it possible to accomplish the other suggestions made by CdNuts like lifting weights (which I have been doing for almost 15 years), sprinting, and just basic everyday chores with no energy for food? I am fairly lean around 15% bodyfat and have been eating mostly healthy for the last 5 years so I am trying to figure out how I would be able to get through a two week fast when I can barely last past 12 pm without any food for one day. Don’t get me wrong there is a reason I have been in and out of this forum since its creation because I have no libido since taking propecia over 7 years ago and want to get back to normal.

I am thinking of trying a fast for as many days as I can hold out which I doubt would be many but it seems that this is an important part of the puzzle so I am willing to give it a shot as I have tried absolutely everything else.

#119

I can get to about day three before giving into food. Can’t imagine how anyone could function at work doing it. Although there are some people who fast purely for the cognitive benefits during it, and don’t even believe the detoxification element to it.

#120

You guys need to do some research on fasting…or just search my old posts. When you fast…that is all you do…You don’t work, you don’t lift, you don’t run around. All of that would be counterproductive and against everything a fast stands for. You most certainly wouldn’t last very long going about it like that.
