This is a reply to # 2,033,585Have only just started NB in late november 2012 - following first hair analysis results.
Made slow improvement in energy from a bed-ridden state, however my first 'set-back' has been doing 14 days of parasite cleansing, feeling very weak again with extreme fatigue.
I under-estimated how out of balance i was and plunged into a para. cleansing protocol far too early - without having established a stronger elimination/detox ability with NB.
2 steps forward and 3 back but have learnt my lesson...silly me!

This is a reply to # 2,033,601Wow, I'm not on NB yet - get my results back this weekend. Can't wait.
But I'm in awe seeing people mention parasite cleansing here.
This is EXACTLY what started me off where I am now.
Quick background - I had major adrenal fatigue about 10 years ago and had to sleep 3-4 hours a day to function, couldn't sleep through the night, many food allergies , etc.
This time, it is different - I sleep okay at night - but I am weak, extraordinarily sensitive to food, my thryoid is in super bad shape, etc.
But I was FINE until I started parasite cleansing over the summer. First Paranil and then Dr. Clark. It really started with the clark and then my second Liver Flush pushed me WAY over the edge, and ever since then (2 months ago) every coffee enema I've done (used to feel great after) has made me crash hard.
Can anyone explain this?
While I did do two parasite cleanses, neither produced visible results of anything (nor did I really have parasite symptoms) - I only did them because I was preparing for a Liver Flush (got tons of stones out) and only once saw one single "grain of rice" that might have been something - but nothing else.
What is it about parasite cleansing? Is that what created the adrenal fatigue, or was it there all along and that "activated it" or do I have parasites and this isn't really AF but infestation?
Ugh!

This is a reply to # 2,033,610It is hard to know which came first. I myself have had chronic fatigue for over 20 years. I only discovered the parasites about 3 years ago after eating raw garlic.
I think most people have parasites and go happily through life. Their immune systems are strong enough to keep them in check. I think parasites can get the upper hand in a sick and weakened state of health. You might have both AF and parasites together.
I crashed so badly 1.5 years ago after almost continuous cleansing for a bad tape, fluke and roundworm infestation. This is what brought me to NB. I just had nothing left. My mineral levels were very low and in adrenal burnout.
I started parasite cleansing again after 6 months into NB. I also have lyme and sibo. Candida is easily controlled if I stay on the Paleo diet. As the good minerals kick out the toxic metals I feel healthier each month. This terrain becomes less advantageous to parasites.
I feel about 90% most days. So things just keep getting better. I am due for a retest in 1 week so I am curious as to where I am at.

This is a reply to # 2,033,621Yeah, I just can't figure it out.
I had a stressful year and was managing it okay but it wasn't until the parasite cleansing that everything started to show up.
I wonder had I not done para cleansing would this have happened?
Is it parasites that got kicked up or true AF?
Was the AF from stress or from all the cleansing? Or the formulas I was using?
My body also wasn't eliminating toxins well - I'd detox but quickly retox.

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,033,623I think those of us with AF don't detox properly. At least I don't. So everything I do now has to be slow and steady.
parasites emit very toxic substances when they are alive and dying. If a body is not detoxing properly this will just cause an overload. This in turn affects the adrenals, thyroid and liver to name a few.
Your test will really give you a great insight into what is going on in your body. It will show you the state of your adrenals and then you will have a much clearer picture.

This is a reply to # 2,033,627very true,
i was reading somewhere (sorry cant remember where) that if liver is overwhelmed with toxins from different source: infections dyeoff, etc the system immediatly put adrenals to extra work.
thats why probably when clensing for candida and parasites everybody say take it slow, detocx more, etc.
what i know for sure is my gluthatione level 1 yeear ago when i was in massive AF crisis was lower that normal.
hm...
adding more garlic helped with detox but lower more blood pressure, more dye-off and i couldnt tolerate NAC at all.- Re: Post your NB story! Onwards

This is a reply to # 2,034,145The raw garlic will cause more die-off so be careful with this. I had a difficult time years ago when I tried Nac. I decided to leave that one alone.

This is a reply to # 2,033,622I am so happy we have this forum!! In brief my story:
Always had a little fatigue and anxiety even as a child. A year and a half ago I woke up one day and just couldn't move. I had never had such fatigue before. The next few months brought weight loss, diarrhea, extreme Depression and anxiety, nausea, and a LOT of sleeping.
Started NB Nov 2011. Was very low in 3 minerals: potassium, sodium and magnesium and about 5 times the acceptable level of manganese. My last test in November revealed my manganese is only double what it should be now. I am now low in four minerals (due to my body being hard at work) but my ratios have almost all improved.
My anxiety and fatigue are still there but are much, much better. I can now go to the grocery store without feeling like I need to be rushed to the hospital! The past three months my periods have been about 50-75% less painful and easier. I was recently able to take a week long vacation-something I never could have done a year ago. My hypoglycemic symptoms have improved greatly. I can last 3-5 hours without food depending on what I ate last, whereas before I could only last 1.5 hours tops.
It's been a slow battle but looking back there have been many improvements.Can't wait to feel 100% like myself again!

This is a reply to # 2,033,585I'll try to keep this short and readable:
Me: Young, male, athlete, college student.
Start: 5-7 years ago. Mold in room. Stress. Busy schedule. Physical exertion. Fell into patterns of exhaustion, constant sickness, insomnia - long slow slide into AF.
Middle: Lots of visits to the GP. GP's were rude, did not believe AF existed. Gave me antidepressants. Went to a local naturopath, slight help, but he was not overly competent.
More middle: Naturopath ordered test which revealed copper toxicity, although he did not believe it to be a real ailment I uncovered NB through my exploration on how to address copper issues.
NB: been doing it for 18 months now. NB alone is probably responsible for about 50% of my recovery, and I did not even follow the program very well. I shirked and bought cheap supplements, didn't get regular hair analysis, and didn't do sauna or enemas enough. I am so glad I did it and wish I had done a better job with it. Some periods were really really tough, I could feel myself detoxing, but it would pass and I would always feel better after.
I am at about 80 or 85% percent health right now. Recently aloe vera and Seriphos in addition to my self-made NB protocol (gb3, paramin, citraminsII, vit.d, taurine, zinc) have been really helpful. I still think digestion is the last frontier for me, I may need to do a parasite cleanse.
Hang in there everyone! NB and healing from AF is a journey.

Wow 80-85% is really impressive!
I see your DIY style is really working for you.
How is your ability to excercise?

This is a reply to # 2,033,778Hi Onwards,
WOW this is awesome to have our Own forum for NB.
I started NB in 5/2011. I was very ill. I took notice that alot of my symtoms started after getting a 4 tooth metal bridge and already having mercury fillings. I did have a tough childhood, stress and fear. SO I am sure my adrenals were weak to begin with but the 2 metals created much more havac in my system.
I was diagnosed with Auto-Immnune Addison in 8/2009 and also hypotyroidism. I was put on 30-50 mg of hydrocortisone, 1mg fludrocortisone and synthroid 125 mg daily.
My hubby did extensive research on how to heal me after all Dr's told me I can never be healed. But the thing is COnventional Dr's don't understand about the heavy metals that block our enzymes.
SO this is what brought me to NB. BEST THING I EVER DID AND DOING!!!!
Best to all in healing:)
Marie

This is a reply to # 2,033,856Hi Oneadaysoon,
Thanks fo asking :)
I have been doing much better since the live Christmas tree is out of the house. Kept crashing do to the tree :(
I have had no issues with my sodium YAY . I dumped aluminum for 2 months. Plus I got my menstrual cycle back after not having it for 2 years.
I am gonna be working with Rick Malter (He works with TEI labs). Watts started his own lab in 1984 when he slpit from Paul Eck. Rick seems concerning andKnowlegdeable. We shall see how it goes. I will be sending my hair in for a test next week. I spoke to him a few times and I explained the time I had the legs pulling severly for 10 weeks while with my 1st practitioner. He feels I was to low on my magnesium for that to occur.
How are you doing Oneadaysoon ? :)
I am hoping to be on curezone more again. I just got off kilter while looking for a new Practitioner to work with.

This is a reply to # 2,033,879I hope you keep us posted on how things go with your new practitioner! Sometimes it's good to get a different point of view. And that is really great about getting your period back after so long! Wow!
I have had a very stressful month so I am a little worried about how my next test will come out. But I have been feeling better (aside from having the flu right now). My last three periods have been sooo much better. I have more energy and I'm falling asleep quite quickly and getting a good nights rest.
I would love to see both my anxiety and fatigue gone completely but looking back I can definitely see improvements.
It's nice to share our journeys together!- Re:For Marie64 Marie64

This is a reply to # 2,033,913Hi Onedaysoon,
I am sorry you have the flu. We had the flu in the house, I started to come down with it and I took Natures Way Elderberry's Brand capsules. I took 9 the day I was coming down with it, by next day I was good..no flu :)
Make sure you get rest and pleny of fluids.
It is like Heaven to have this anxieties/stress under check...loving life more without them.
I am looking forward to working with RIck Malter he really is a caring man with many years expeience. I spoke to him 2x's already over the phone. He really seems to know his stuff. But we shall see how it works out. He does have a few different believes then Dr Larry Wilson, but I am open to anything that is proven by Science :)

This is a reply to # 2,033,834Hi Marie- Great post! You are the reason I decided to try NB in the first place. You were one of the few posting about it. You have made such great progress with getting off and reducing meds.
All the best with Rick Malter- Always nice to share experience with those working with TEI. Same difference but maybe some fresh perspectives.
It is so awesome to have our own place to just talk NB.

This is a reply to # 2,033,778Hey onwards! Well I wouldn't necessarily recommend others go the DIY route - it has been a mixed bag for me -
I think I was lucky because I am young. My ability to exercise is good but not incredible. I can ski pretty hard, I can weight lift, but my endurance is still not all the way back. After a game of basketball for example I have a hard time breathing and can only really play 1 game. I usually don't sleep well after exertion either. But, I am gonna go on a 4 mile bike ride today, which should treat me just fine as long as I take my time.
A mistake I made was not cutting back on the exercise enough, it has definitely slowed my progress overall. But gentle exercise like bike rides have been really good for me.- Expand 20 messages, 21 to 40 of 50 SB1108
