I saw the documentary on ABC, absolutely awesome work! Kudos guys, I feel truely greatful for all the progress that has been made so far. I can't thank you guys enough.
I haven't visited the site for quite a while. Just wanted to say that my POIS symptoms continue to improve. They are now about 20-25% of the intensity they used to be 5-10 years ago. I still get many of the symptoms but they are now manageable and more transient. I've found a few things that definately help eleviate/mask the symptoms (like garlic, olive leaf extract, etc). I plan to trial Niacin and Fenugeek this week (many thanks to those who shared their success with those treatments).
Please note, I have had a great deal of success with my POIS over the years by treating the symptoms as related to 'toxic load'. I always felt like my body had been literally posioned after 'O'. So I proceeded down the path to combat oxidation and toxicity. Strong antioxidants (Grape Seed extract 200mg/day, Acai Berry Powder) and Superfoods (Wheat Grass Powder, Noni Juice, Spirulina, Chorela) have improved my base line health dramatically, and improved my ability to absorb most of my symptoms. I also recently tried a different kind of antioxidant that works at the cellular level called 'Protandim' and that did also make a noticeable difference.
I was originally diagnosed with CFS at the onset of my POIS symptoms, so those that are suffering the flu-like effects (i.e. toxic load) of POIS will likley be able to benefit greatly by using antioxidants and superfoods. I certainly worked for me but don't expect a fast fix, it was a ongoing improvement over many years.
Kudos!
