for my first meal I have 4-5 eggs with cress, blueberries blackberries raspberries pomegranate seeds snd red grapes, walnuts and almonds, salad, oyster mushrooms all drizzled with lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Then at 6 I have turky or chicken breast with a diversity of veg (not to much) drizzled with lemon and extra virgin olive oil again with oyster mushrooms. I also sip bone broth throughout the 4 hours aswell. Going to start making my own yoghurt today for certain bacteria’s to build. 
 

how are you now? Hope you’re seeing some improvements? 

That sounds great any problem switching to all of this ? I'm ok thanks feel like im going back to my baseline before all the upset with the dentist etc

the first few days was hard as I was really getting hungry but ive had no physical or mental problems. Just improvements, What time is your last meal of the day and what time is your first? 

I've slacked a bit since the upset but try to finish at 17.00 and start about 09.00 so 16 :8 ..its hard at first to ignore the hunger pains but you are doing amazing . I also need to start cutting back on my carbs as I do crave the wrong ones when I'm.in a wave . Your are very disciplined

Thats still a great fasting window, cut out carbs and Im sure you will see major improvements that was the major factor for me. Even the good carbs ain’t really good for us. 

Eggs are very good for you, I do enjoy two poached eggs on sourdough with avocado and garlic 😋

Carbs are definitely the baddies for me feel sluggish and bloated after having too much bread pasta etc now the better weather is here will be more salads .

Keep going you are doing great so pleased you have found something that works for you 😊

Thank you I hope you continue to see improvements to 

You seem to be stabilising on the dose you're taking. This is good.

 

Hopefully in time you can stabilise further and then consider next steps, but there's no rush for that. In the meantime, hopefully you continue to feel better.

So I ended up going into a 8 day wave which was pretty horrendous, i managed to figure out the culprit i cut it out and woke up today feeling pretty good. Sedated which is unusual as I

normally wake up wired and cant fall back to sleep but today was different pretty nice tbh. Had a decent day for the opening of my window. I hope it continues. Still intermittent fasting but gone to 16/8 as I was loosing to much weight. 

 

onwards and upwards everyone.

you are what you eat 😉

wonderful and encouraging update for all of us, thanks for sharing! hope it continues long and stable!

So it’s been a while all.

Thought I would update my thread.

I flew out to Germany for a week to undergo some treatment which was believed it could help my issues. I underwent treatment called the Patricia Kane protocol which is cellular membrane restoration. The cellular membranes make up basically every human it’s a cell with a fatty membrane around it which gets damaged by toxins throughout your life. Inside your membrane is where your dna sits so when the toxins get in it’s harder for your body to clear it as it’s damaged. I started with a protocol of phosopolipidcholine through iv to regenerate the cells then followed by gluthathione and folinic acid (natural detox) which was then followed by sodium butyrate which is aimed at healing the colon walls to stop endotoxins leaking into the blood stream. After every treatment i then underwent a two day colonic cleanse where they flushed water through my colon and gallbladder to clear the field ready for fmt to reastablish the microbiome. I had 6 days of iv treatment and 4 fmt procedures. I also had heavy metal testing done and genetic testing to see how my body methylated. My homocysteine is high so that confirms my methylation cycle isnt working correctly. (Methylation cycle basically is the process of the body to be able to detox naturally and create neurotransmitters) I realised when I was out there that the mirtazapine had started to put me to sleep so tbis confirmed that the drug was building up in my system making it useless basically. Where they detoxed my liver they had basically cleared the metabolite buildup. I have a fast comt gene which means I break down neurotransmitters 4x quicker then the average person so this explains why ive had bad depression through this withdrawal phase. My depression is now gone! I still have symptons, high heart rate, low libido, anhedonia, dry scalp and skin,still can’t nap in the day. So my nervous system is still dysregulated. Im

Currently working on lowering my homocysteine to get the methylation back in check by taking b2,b6,b9,b12 gluthathione, of liquid for cellular regeneration for my main pathway and trying to get around 1000mg of choline a day for the alternative pathway. (There are two pathways in case one isnt working) I still feel weird a lot of the time as I am use to always being filled with energy and happiness I believe I have adhd as before the meds I was always bouncing of the walls maybe that’s why I notice the anhedonia so much because it’s so different to anything ive ever experienced. Im trying to aim for about 100g of protein a day as this is a constant stream of tyrosine for my gene type fast comt. All in i feel a lot better as I have in the past in a couple weeks I will be one year in since withdrawal started. My hormones are starting to regulate I had them checked a few days ago not perfect but heading in the right direction. My ferritin is on the low side so I’m working on raising that aswell. I try to take all my supplements through lozenges or liquid to bypass digestion so it’s straight in the blood stream. Hoping to see more improvements as time goes on.

I hope everyone is fighting and seeing improvement.

Love you all

❤️👊🙏

That's a very interesting procedure Richie. Hopefully it's done something for you and does sound like you improved. I guess you would have done your research as i'm sure there are some pretty whacky things out there that people push. Keep at it as you are progressing and getting there.

I did remove it because I was scared people might start trying it 😅 is it still there? Either way I will keep updating in the following weeks but even still now i feel better then yesterday so it’s like it’s trending upwards

Right guys time for an update.

A good one!

So upon coming back from Germany I slowly fell back into the suicidal,dark depressed state. Pounding heart, libido completely gone, anhedonia constant as usual. No dopamine no motivation the usual bullshit. Started doing more research on the fmt I had in Germany as it did have some benefits like less depressed mood able to feel tired and sleep better. Through this whole process I would say I’ve had about 2 weeks of feeling 80 percent, I’m a year in now. Still on my Mirtazapine dose which is basically a sugar pill it does fuck all for me. I took matters into my own hands. Started researching fmt and genetics as I was thinking maybe the fmt hasn’t stuck because I don’t share microbes with the donor. My 7 year old son is exactly the same as me. Literally he’s my copy we look identical and we share the same interests and food. I got he’s stool tested for bad bacteria’s and parasites which came back clean. Then 14th of June I performed a at home fmt with my son’s stool. I done it about 6 at night went to sleep about 11.

Now comes the good bit, I woke up completely normal the next day everything back pounding heart went away motivation back libido came back (I had really bad pssd symptoms including shrinkage,whiteness, no libido, cold genitals) anhedonia gone. I performed the fmt daily for 7 days. My window lasted 8 days then was sent back into a wave which wasn’t as bad as before. This lasted till the 1st June then another window opened, this window lasted 10 days and was even better then the one before closing on the 10th of July. Back into another wave which lasted only 5 days until the 15th and now I’ve been in another 100 percent window since the 15th. I wake up normal live normal and feel I have my life back. Each window has gotten better especially the sexual side of stuff and mood and motivation. Im not house bound anymore ive sorted my stomach problems I had slow digestion and bad overgrowths which I have been treating with garlic pills and a antifungal by Thorne as I suspect I have candida due to the imbalances in my biome. People can make what they want of this but Im seeing so many similarities with other drugs (antibiotics, glp-1s,long Covid)

Most cases ive seen people have healed from attacking there biome and sorting out the imbalances ive spoke to quite a lot of people aswell. The more research that comes out about the biome in the future the less this will happen i think. The biome controls expression of genetics the methylation cycle and the nervous system. The drugs we take go into the colon to then work on the bacteria’s to then send the signal on what to release in the brain. People may read this and think it’s strange, but the fact this has all started since I done the fmt with my son points to facts for me what my problem actually is. I stick to a strict diet literally veg meat and fibre no wheat no sugar very low carbs so I can feed the new microbes what they want.

Will update more

👊🙏❤️

Little update

Seem to be rapidly going through windows and waves now, dont know what to make of it but it’s proper up and down. I hope this is a sign of recovery.

This is a good sign my pattern did that before I became a lot more stable 😀 exciting times!

Last 6 days 3 windows and 3 waves this is mental

Oh another thing I forgot to add.

If anyone else has experienced this please let me know.

When I’m in a window i get insomnia? Strange but i sleep better when in a wave.

I can’t work out why tbh

I often found in the first 8 months I would be either full of neuro emotions or sleep deprived but never both at the same time.
