Thanks again all - I feel a little (in fact markedly) better today. LORD KNOWS HOW but I managed to get 12 hours sleep last night. Sexually I feel worse but fuck it.
Okay, so, long term I'm still not convinced by TEI itself, however we KNOW that mineral balancing cured 3 people (Secenes, Raincoast - despite current affairs and ofc Gbold.) No question on those. The huge "but" though is that TEI might not work. And it takes forever to "might not work".
So, as far as I see it my best bet will be to pick some of the simpler protocols, tread some old ground, and just see if a few months on any sort me.
That being the case, spinach! I'll stick with this for a month and take some supps. Tryingnottoworry noticed improvement shortly but as
@bruschi11 rightly said mariovitali DIDN'T get fully cured on it, so his theory of spinach and supporting methylation/genetic 'holes' may not be the answer. Or might be for some. And so on. I've only just had my solvepfs login approved, and there's MUCH on there.
This'll be the best route for me I think. I don't and cannot operate on the same level as you guys, but I can tread old ground and stick with a protocol. I've been doing Cdnuts' protocol since end of Dec (yes even cold showers) and I'm not convinced it's for me. It's not to say he's a charlatan or anything and I am CERTAIN he means well and has nursed many to help patiently and with kindness. I might try it again another time (I do LOVE exercise.)
So, back to spinach and supps and I'll update. After that maybe Apr1989's tribulus, then maybe TyCr0Z's tomato juice cycles for sexual symptoms... then any and all vegetable-based misadventures I can get up to until Helen just discovers the cure is toothpaste or something and we're all better.
I also need to add in that I'm sorry if I'm disappointing anyone by ignoring advice you've patiently posted to me. I appreciate everyone who's taken the time to reply to me ever. I'm just making decisions based on what I think is best in my life, so I can get back to me, the girl I love, and everything I used to have. Thank you all so so much and I wish you and all sufferers the very best of luck on almost an hourly basis, and I (seriously and honestly) don't know what I'd do without you.
And I might even succeed or find some missing link on the way, who knows? Wish me luck too.
