Believe me! I wish I would have known about this 2 years ago, as I would have saved myself a world of ongoing misery. I am not a novice to CZ (sadly I've been posting on mainly the Candida Forum for years), but I am somewhat new to the AF forum. I assume you are still treating with him then. For those of us Nutritional Balancing/Wilson novices, could you please share with us how you have done/improved on the program and how long it took you, i.e. weeks, months, etc., to start feeling even a little better? Thanks.

Hi Armstrong,

I myself learned about him by researching. It took me some time to believe that it may work for me. I was diagnosed with Autoimmune Addison's disease by conventional Dr's who state I can not be healed(3 Endos). So I had to get a mind set that I should try the protocol. I have improved greatly in a lot of areas. I am still on hydrocortisone. I tried to wean off it over a few months period and was at this point unsuccessful, need the hydrocortisone to sustain life as of yet. I am truly hoping that once I get my ratios in the right range and I detox more heavy metals out, that I will be able to get off it...we shall see.
I was so shocked how spot on the report I received from my Practitioner was so right on about my stress levels, my anxieties, my exhaustion, and even that I was a carb lover.\

Hi ngelofEventide,

I myself started the protocol almost 11 months ago. I also wish I new about this many years ago, I would have never gotten as bad as I did. I started to feel so much calmer with in about 4-6 weeks. It has been a up and down for me as I tried to get off hydrocortisone.

Hello Armstrong

I'm glad you've been doing this for a while. Are you also following Dr. Wilson's strict slow oxidizer program. I find most people I run across on the net are not following the the slow ox plan program. They are doing the HTMA, taking the Endomet supps but have incorporated lots of foods that are not on Dr. Wilson's slow oxidizer program such as nightshades and added fats. I have several questions about the foods - not from a scientific point of view but practical questions like: 1. how can people afford it - I spend about $ 100 Cdn a week on veggies alone (not counting the meat) and it's so expensive 2. I'm so tired but it takes energy I don't have to do this program. Just peeling, chopping and cooking vegetables each day - even if I prepare 3 meals is exhausting. 3. On top of this the time and energy to do the coffee enema, meditation and infrared sauna. How do you manage? Do you have any tips or advice? Thank you.
