Hello Everyone,
I have been on the forum for a while now, but have yet to make an account and contribute as I was just merely looking for answers. I am hoping that I am posting this in the correct place, forgive me if I am not.
A little background:
I took propecia for a few months, probably 3 at most about 2 years ago just before christmas time. I didnt notice any sides while on the drug and taking it everyday, however, I began to do some more research on it and discovered that it could possible cause permenant side effects. I then stopped using it and immediately after I had terrible persistant headaches. After the headaches, I suffered some extremely scary sides…I was dizzy and off balance, when I would walk through my hallway it appeared as if the end of the hallway was bouncing around. I had terrible brain fog, and could barely function. I had to struggle to complete simple tasks and just get by hoping that nobody would notice. What a horrible feeling…
I have spent the time since then trying different methods and learning a lot about health, and the body in an attempt to try and heal myself as no doctor has been able to do anything for me. Since then the sides have slowly gone away, however, I still do not feel 100 percent yet. Some days I do, others I dont. I would like to share my ideas , and possibly help those who have had no luck trying out alternative methods to get back to normal. I think before trying large amounts of hormones and other therapies, the body should be given a chance on its own to rebalance.
I will say, before you do any of this PLEASE consult a doctor…Do your research and if it seems like its worth a try, try it.
Firstly, when I was on the forum long ago I discovered that many people suspected the liver as being a prime element in the sides. I took this and started doing some research. This coupled with the fact that I had a slight swollen feeling on my right side(torso). During my research I learned about gallstones, what they are, how they form, and the detrimental effect they can have on the entire body. I am only 24, and I never thought I would have gallstones, yet I did a gallstone flush ( which is an all natural method of ridding them) and much to my suprise I had several large stones (probably 10 or 12 the size of nickels and quarters) and hundreds of other little ones like gravel, not to mention a whole lot of other nasty looking stuff that was probably just sitting in my liver and gallbladder. I learned that the causes of gallstones can be, excess estrogen ( which i believe is a side of propecia), high cholesterol, and toxic substances can also contribute. After the gallstone flush i felt much better and I plan to do another one very soon. I will post links at the bottom if you want to take a look at them.
Another thing that I learned is that the body is able to heal itself of any ailment. I have been researching this for quite a while now and am confident that when given a chance the body will fix these problems that we have. The issue is allowing it to do so. I believe propecia and a number of other factors contribute to a toxicity build up in the body. In order for it to function at an optimal level, it needs to be free of these toxc substances that inhibit the body from successfully healing dead or damaged cells and so forth. The best method I have discovered to do this detoxification is a juicing fast. It is a fast that is quite possibly the best thing you can do to take back your health. It will hopefully give the body a chance to naturally reset itself and rebalance. I have experimented with fasting and felt amazing after i finished. I am planning on doing a 30 day juice fast very soon, and would welcome anyone who wants to do that with me. Please, if you are interested in another alternative to heal, do check out the links below…I think you will find them helpful and give hope. Thank you for your time.
