I quote.
But what does he propose in short? I've read a few of his posts. He states POIS is a permanent condition. Actually he claims POIS doesn't even exist but we suffer from a systemic mineral imbalance. And we need to do an hair test (easy to do.. NOT) and send him the result to get the formula of mineral supplements to take in order to restore the balance. Orgasm just worsen the situation. Right? But if he explained it I have missed it, because he's not really clear or at least convincing enough on why orgasm does make things critical apart from being stressful for the body. Like those with CFS are one step below us. We are in the same situation but slightly better. GREAT!
And what about all those people who treated the orgasm itself and underwent desensitization with "good" results. Like egordon or vandemolen and many other. Or Demo which is on TRT. Or our almost British hero (Dave) who prevents POIS with viagra righ BEFORE sex. They were all pretty much focused on the orgasm, the trigger. Actually TRT is quite systemic. As far as I know T forms from cholesterol, without it maybe from a malabsorption of fat, there's no testosterone. This is the only case in which it could be linked to Herman's theory. And as I'm saying this I did get some relief from his advised supplements like wobenzyme and betaine HCl.
Let's say he's right with everything, why talking about these things with doctors make them laugh. I told two doctors about the hair test and both replied "why the hell would you do that?"
Why do we have to struggle so much? Why do we have to improvise with our health? I mean, if a doctor is wrong he bases his opinion with a lot more information than us. A LOT more. Right?
I find extremely disappointing talking with them. So are they all stupid? I spent quite a lot of money with this private gastroenterologist, he doesn't believe in SIBO first of all. I didn't even bother mentioning POIS. I did actually vaguely say that symptoms were worse after orgasm, he said it's impossible and all that good stuff. I tried to pilot the diagnosis to the malabsorption theory but all the exams and markers that would demonstrate any malabsorption are not showing anything.
I could be wrong on everything I said till now. But this POIS is really pissing me off... Especially with the research which struggles to start and who knows when it will end and with what results.
I have the feeling there's a lot misunderstanding between causes and symptoms. What came first, the chicken or the egg Is POIS caused by malabsorption or is malabsorption caused by POIS?
Sorry for being such a douche BUT I need to let off the steam, BTW as I write this I'm not on POIS. Whatever POIS means.
I'd like to open a healthy debate here.
Please POISers of the world unite...
I just got result for sibo test, it was negaitve. I am not surprise since i did not have the symptoms of sibo.
I also checked h-pylori and that was positive. I get bad acid reflux during my sleep so that result is no surprise.
I dont think h-pylori has anything to do with pois but i will use the medicine and see if anything changes.
Maybe there a link, like for SIBO, H-pyroli cause malabsorbtion especially of B12 which is known to be essential for mental health.
Herman(the russian guy) is very arrogant, overconfident about his medical ability and has a real problem with its ego...but believe me, he is really not stupid a know a lot about all this.
I've had the confirmation that several people got real reliefs following his advices
By the way, kurtosis has been treated for SIBO and is cured know ; It's been almost a year that is has no POIS
The following is what he proposes, I don't have the medical ability to judge it but I verified pretty much each point and in general it makes sense ; Besides, and regarding conversation I've had with different members(not here anymore because feel a lot better), I'm highly confident in the fact that healing our digestive system will fix our problem which fit to Herman theory.
SIBO is never cured by antibiotics. It comes back 99.99% of the time as you can see this by millions of people on SIBO forums.. Improvement lasts from 3-6 months at most. If body chemistry is not changed and enzymes activation and protein synthesis is not built up, namely bioavailable copper as in ceruloplasmin alkalinity is never achieved in the small intestines and friendly bacteria and candida overgrows there. Just cleaning it out is one step of the problem. Mucus build up causes acidity to prevail in the small intestine thus the goal is to eliminate all mucus forming substances like milk and dissolve mucus using okra pepsin.
Fats and oils are good, but should be used according to your metabolism, if someone has a slow thyroid and that someone increases fats and oils., that someone will crash
Liver flushes achieve pretty much as good of a job as antibiotics for small intestines , only without harming large intestine.( this is what NATHAN did) Bile is very alkaline and when it goes down small intestines it makes it more alkaline. If there is too much mucus, nothing will help and antibiotics will fail also, since mucus is very acidic and SIBO will come back very very fast.
The main problem for SIBO is lack of HCL and lack of pancreatic enzymes. If that is increased the probability of keeping friendly flora in check goes up, since pancreas react to HCL secretion by secreting bicarbonate .
There is a good product called bicarb- balance by alkalife which is enteric coated bicarbonate and enteric coated peppermint oil .Could be used for some body with SIBO problems.
AS for POIS, I posted a complete explanation on the russian forum about POIS , its roots and means to fight it.
I dont have much time or desire to post much here but I will outline what is posted there. Here is the outline of what happens with POIS CFS VVD etc.
1) Stress , alcohol ,overmasturbation , heavy metals toxicities, minerals deficiencies cause systemic protein deficiencies and pancreatic insufficiency. This leads to low levels of all amino acids since dietary protein is not being able to be broken down in your small intestine and stomach due to low levels of HCL and pancreatic enzymes.
2) low amino acids lead to low systemic protein and also low HCL, so this is vicous cycle.
3) Metalothionein and gluthatione obviously go down since amino acids are down, you become toxic in metals and viruses and toxins.
4) low gluthatione increases inflammation which effects tryptophan break down by IDO enzyme.
Niacin and nicotinamide decrease IDO activivy that is why it works for POIS.
Solutions for POIS;
1) HCL for the stomach
2) enzymes wth every food, including trypsin chymotrypsin to break down proteins. ( wobenzym , BIO ZYME)
3) ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS in free form, patches or predigested ( Platinum essential amino acids, amino acids patches from age force)
this way you restore amino acids and your systemic protein can be made ( ceruloplasmin , ferritin , gluthatione , metalothionien etc)
4) increase cofactors for gluthatione and metalothionein( glutamine, cysteine, selenium , zinc histidine tryptophan glycine) so your body can detoxify heavy metals and toxins.
5) DO hair analisys and get on nutritional balancing to fix your own enzyme system and see which cofactors you are missing like manganese or zinc or copper. If you dont do this, you can take a multivitamin SOLGAR 2000 to support present protein synthesys but the mnute you go off amino acids, you will crash, since your own protein synthesys wont be there, since you did not deal with body chemisty you just bypassed enzymes.
6) increase Selenium intake
7) Fish oils or lecitin and peppermint oil in enteric capsules
carnosine 500 mg a day , for heavy metal detox and mast cell stabilization while detoxing. Plus it will increase histidine stores in the body.
9) tryptophan at night 500mg
10) Okra pepsin to dissolve mucus in your small intestine. You can flush it out with psyllium husk or oxy powder.
DIET
1)EGG whites 16 a day preferably raw,( make sure you heat them up to deactivate avidin) completely supports gluthatione. If you have histamine reaction to this, add 100mcg molybdenum. But if you are taking carnosine you wont have any food reactions even if you had them before
2)bananas as many as you can eat, increases tryptofan .
3) Brazil nuts 3 a day
Stay away from meat.
No milk or sugars
DETOX PROCEDURES
coffee enemas daily
liver flush every 2 weeks.
POIS symptoms are caused by degradation of tryptophan by IDO and copper zinc balance is crucial in this enzyme.
Tryptophan degradation is increased in viral infections during stress , cancer, inflammation. STOP LOOKING FOR VIRUSES and all kind of separate deseases. It wont help...LYME HERPES CANCER all cause gluthatione to be mobilized, and you have to support gluthatione and feed oils to fight the virus. S EX uses up selenium and zinc , which are part of gluthatione synthesis, this is why you crash..You are infected and you are working overtime to detox, but you by having sex are taking away mainly selenium and zinc from detoxification.
Acetylcholine problems are related to managnese deficiency and as Kurtosis mentioned lipid metabolism problems.
But all of this will go away, if you restore your protein metabolism and thus restore your pacnreatic enzymes.
All this SIBO cures, panchakrama VVD treatments, they dont deal with the cause of all of this... And it will all go away as soon as you get aminos in and balance body chemistry. NEVER take antibiotics.
For instance sibo goes away on carnosine zinc really fast. Histamine intolerance goes down on histdine
POIS CFS and VVD risk groups;
1) Ebstein bar , herpes Lуme CMV people, since that mobilized gluthatione and all its precursors leading to induction of IDO. It is impossible to kill these viruses without changing body chemistry. DONT EVEN TRY--- it is waste of your time.
2) Bodybuilders ------ they have low levels of amino acids, or taking wrong amino acid complexes with limiting amino acids.
3) Marijuanna smokers-------cadmium in marijuana antagonizes selenium and zinc like crazy . Gluthatione goes way down , which induces IDO
4) Overmasturbation leading to low zinc and especially selenium levels, and also high histamine use on arousal, which lead to histidine deficiency, and histidine zinc and B6 make HCL, no HCL no bicarbonate, and no enzyme activation in the small intestines leads to low levels of amino acids which leads to inflammation and IDO induction
5) people taking supplements , multivitamins ---- without amino acids , there are no carrying systemic proteins in body and all you do with your supplements is make yourself even more toxic in free unbound metals, which will mobilze gluthatione and metallothionein again and will cause POIS.
