Woke up yet again today horrible death. Week and a half of HELL. Worst ever very scary as you can tell by my posts.
It came to me that Zinc could be a player. Soo...
I went down to Vitamin Store and bought zinc downed 200mg in one go with the active form of b6. Water and some food. 30 minutes later warmer. Lost my libido for 4 months.
Libido came back straight away, started looking at girls in a lustful way. Thinking came back, Nails are not pink still a little white but a lot better,
Relaxed, calmer and feel stronger. I was very weak and pale.
The reason why I thought zinc was cause of libido, cold chills, weakness, tired easy ( barely function ) doing nothing.
Been going to gym and doing intense cardio for an hour for 2 months and heavy weights before that with NO zinc supplementation.
Tried Zinc with Copper last week but felt sick and I know Newport doesn't recommend Zinc without Copper but I felt I needed Zinc by itself. Zinc with copper made me feel sick.
I was using Opti-Zinc with 15mg zinc then 1mg of copper which is out of ratio it should be 15mg Zinc with 2mg Copper. 7-1 ratio is Correct.
So my hair tests showed very low Zinc in Jan '12 this year, but ignored it. Also my lovely doctor said I had extremely low Free Testostrone of a 60 year old man. Big mistake. So this week I will be taking Zinc and see if there are more improvements. Thank you to all and God Bless :)
So I was taking no Zinc/Copper in proper ratio at all for 3 months. Training hard. Still taking borax.
So we have Copper issues plus increase depletion of Zinc cause of no Zinc supplementation and taking Borax still with extreme exercise cardio.
Resulting in why the past two months have been not good.
That's how I am seeing it.
"Additionally boron was shown to increase plasma copper, copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD is one of the body's most important free radical scavengers), and ceruloplasmin (a protein which transports copper). Here is direct evidence that boron is essential for copper metabolism and therefore quite probably for the correction of hyperthyroidism and possibly hypothyroidism."
