Lifestyle Diary and POIS Summaries / Re: Warrior's Health Journal & POIS Protocol

Calcium citrate in theory should help with this cluster of POIS. Fungal/candida overgrowth produces large amounts of oxalates. Calcium citrate helps bind to oxalates passing through the gut.

I also suspect an eye pressure condition that developed about a year ago may be related to oxalates and my high dose D3 use:

Candida Overgrowth (OAT confirmed)

His Organic Acids Test (OAT) showed elevated oxalic acid and arabinose
? This means Candida was overgrowing in his gut and producing oxalates internally

High-Oxalate Load ? Oxalates Circulate in the Body

Oxalates from Candida and possibly past diet started building up in tissues

High-Dose Vitamin D3 + High-Calcium Diet

D3 increases calcium absorption, and he was eating lots of calcium-rich foods (like dairy)

Free calcium + oxalates = calcium-oxalate crystals, which deposit in soft tissues—like the eyes

Oxalates Begin Depositing in the Eyes

This can lead to eye pressure, pain, and inflammation

Especially likely when oxalates + calcium circulate without enough support to clear them

Citric Acid Sensitivity = Sign of Oxalate Dumping

Citric acid made symptoms worse, which often happens when oxalates are being released too quickly
? His body was trying to clear them, but couldn't do it smoothly

High-Dose D3 Worsened Eye Pressure

D3 increases calcium levels, making it easier for oxalates to bind and form crystals

This triggered more eye inflammation and pressure

POIS Research / Re: The role of norepinephrine/noradrenaline

I tried taking only ibuprofen with Allegra last night. I had very very mild physical symptoms and moderate brain fog. Reading and writing are a bit challenging today. Today's been a slow day since I'm not working or socializing, so I can't determine the exact extent of the brain fog, I just know its difficult to read and write now.

From this experiment, i can conclude that for me physical symptoms are almost eliminated by ibuprofen+allegra, and cognitive ones are eliminated by levomilnacprin.

Next time I have a long weekend I'll try levomilnacprin alone.

I haven't been on here for a while, good to see you having success with levomilnacipran I've never had the opportunity to try it, only milnacipran. Milnacipran is still working very well for me, my symptoms are mainly cognitive (severe brain fog).

Escitalopram 20mg and Testosterone Topical Gel. I still have complete remission of POIS symptoms and can orgasm daily. I no longer take Pregnenolone or DHEA.

which food sensitivities did you have, Warrior?

Severe sensitivity to starch. White rice, oats, bread, etc. If I ate these in every meal, my entire reality would quickly become consumed with 24/7 POIS symptoms, like it did many years ago. Not all starches are the same though, sweet potato appears to be the most benign but still far from optimal.

I am also sensitive to vegetables, but these dissappear when I am under a ketogenic diet. I can tolerate vegetables like normal when eating keto.

Have you tried to see if you have additional sensitivities tied into your POIS that you are unconsciously triggering and therefore experiencing the POIS symptoms 24/7? This was the case for me with food.

I also feel like it permanently changed the way my brain processes life. It is almost impossible to make me laugh nowadays. Almost nothing makes me excited and it is very hard to engage in any activity. My cognitive abilities suck too. I used to be very sharp and had a great memory. Not anymore.


I will post catecholamines test results and some others here.

This is also true for me. I rarely feel genuine joy, if at all. It may have ruined my life. Do all your negative symptoms go away after a few days of abstaining from masturbating, or are some of them permanent?

i have major depressive disorder since 6 months: anxiety mixed with depressive feelings all day long.; No idea if POIS was the original trigger or just the political and meteorological climate

It could be unrelated; however, some POIS symptoms strongly resemble those of depression.
