Hello,
I am new to this forum and want to give a short introduction into my pois case before I start with my lifestyle that cured me.
I want to share my solution that I now in use since 8 months with minor changes here and there.
I started using this forum as a source 1,5 years ago but became a member now that i am sure about my methods.
This is my first topic and i really want to make my findings available without writng to much about my
symptoms, triggers, history etc
I am 24 years old but developed Pois with onset of puberty at the age of 13.
I managed to finish school with an extra year and it was around that time I first suspected that something aint right in general.
The transition from healthy to pois was so silent that I believed for years that everything was normal, and having
issues with concentration and a dull feeling in regard to emotions in general.
I had all mental aspects of pois in their hard form but no physical ones at all.(nearly)
But i had no idea what was causing my state or even that I was sick in such a way
In my last school year I went to see several doctors and ended up beeing first diagnosed with schizophrenia and then corrected an ordinary depression and after some weeks
of medication I was released and finished school and began studying.
My studies didn't went well to say the least, I was absolutely unable to focus, abstract, plan, organise and also to interact with others, feel attached, enjoy anything and so forth.
3 years later there was the seldom occasion a day where I felt a bit clear and that morning I engaged with my gf and noticed for the first time a sharp drop in mood.
That was the first time I made the connection to O. I googled words found this forum and some videos and learned that pois existed .
A couple of weeks later I went to an urologist who was convinced that I indeed have POIS.
He told me that there aint a working cure and advised me start developing my own methods.
Then I began with Niacin, cold showers, sport etc.
Now after 1 and a half year of continuesly testing I got a list what I tried and what worked and what did not.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: This is my own recipe and I only share my story. You are responsible for what you do with it.
I do not give any guarantee for safety or success.
It has two parts that I consider essential: Actual "remedies" and Nutrition in general
My Method:
GREEN TEA is my main weapon against pois.
But in raw form of dried leaves and not brewed. My flavour is called "Gunpowder" but any green tea should do.
I take a tea spoon after every meal and a half spoon before bed every day.
When I have an O I take up to 4 spoons. I dont prepare a tea and i dont chew the tea.
I just flush it down with water.(Attention: improper storing of green tea makes it lose its effect.
I use an airtight container, in a dry place and be aware that green tea sometimes contains little stones so be carefull in case you chew the tea)
Teabags are not so great and make sure to get a decent quality.
Ceterizine, an antihistamine. I take the recommended dose given by the manufacturer only after an O
ONION- I eat half of a small onion.
Niacin/B3- gives some relief and energy but I usually stick to just the 3 above since they are sufficient and
i dont like the flush effect of B3
Things I used with some success but that have become redundant:
fenugreek
5 HTP
garlic
wobenzym
ginger tea
turmeric(raw and as a capsule)
fastening for short times
Lifestyle:
I have two meals a day which are breakfast and lunch.
I dont eat in the evening because i increases my NE risk.
1. Nutrition
-no forms of grain(no wheat,oat,rye... means no flour , no bread, pastries, pasta)
-nothing fat, that has been fried or similar(no fries, no bacon, no steaks made in a pan or on a grill)
-no non natural sugar or very pure sugar(no white sugar, no brown sugar , no honey, no soda, no ice cream, no fruit juices)
-no coffee and the like
-no "sugar fruits" like pine apple or banana
- of course no alcohol, smoking ...
What I eat:
fish- mostly salmon , fruit like apples,grapes, berries , egg- boiled not fried , diary in general(cheese,milk...), very dark chocolate,
nuts mosly walnuts and hazelnuts, vegetables in general, olive oil , avocados
Still experimenting with some sorts of meat and also unsure about such things as beans rice and potatos
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion:
I managed my POIS with a handfull of substances and a strict diet. I hope my case provides some interesting information for others.
I apologize if my post is in an suboptimal form but i am new to this and just wanted to share this.
There are many more things I tried, observations I made but i didnt want to make this to long.
My greatest discovery that I rarely find here in this forum is the consumption of green tea in raw form.
I thank everyone for reading and hopefully we will all find our way of managing this disease.
best regards
Hannover
