New Theories / Re: Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS)
« on: 12/09/2008 20:22:20 »
Hey Dr. Matt,
I just wanted to raise a question about the L-form bacteria that might be causing POIS. It is an interesting theory, but I jsut feel that doesnt completely make sense. As you mentioned in your posting, the bacteria gets out of its latency state whenever our immune system goes down: after sex, stressing out, having a cold, etc. However, whenever I have a cold or a flu and my body is feeling very weak, how come this bacteria doesnt take any action? How come I dont feel the same symptoms that I would after orgasm? I definitely feel mentally and phisically weaker when I am sick, but it is not like my brain is fogged up. It is just tired... just like the rest of my body. It is not like it is any slower. The speed at which thoughts are going thru my head is pretty much the same as when I am not sick. As many of us have described in here, the feeling after POIS is something very unique, and it is hard to compare it to the feeling of being sick.
So again.. the question is: How come this bacteria doesnt take the opportunity to attack my body when I am sick? Why does it only happen after orgasm?
Thanks for your postings and the tip about the casey protein being lacked in the dairy diet.
