[prop]My 90%+ cureSince starting testosterone therapy last year, I have been continually reporting a POIS cure per episode of 75% to 90%, sometimes 100%. After today, I think I have a better idea of why...when it's 90%+.Why was today (first 24 hours, "Day Zero"), good? Mostly Day Zero is still a mini-POIS-nightmare for me, but not today:1. Was within frequency limits. Find your limits, and don't exceed them. If you can "sense" your own sperm regeneration, stay away from sex when you feel "empty".2. Doubled dose of stimulants (with psychiatrist's approval). Finally quit caffeine and dying for it. Too bad.3. Increased testosterone (with endocrinologist's ok)4. Sunshine. Lots of it.5. Engaged with other people socially for several hours. 6. Took "risks". Played piano for a group of people.I hope this helps. But keep in mind that this is what works for me. We're all different.
well, keep at it, see if it works every time!

For my newest endeavor, I plan to try out the "Body Ecology Diet" in an attempt to crack POIS. Apparently this diet, which includes coconut water kefir and cultured vegetables among other things, is so amazing that it has most notably helped in recovery from autism! [:0]It is no quick fix but I'm thinking this diet could be good for my general health and potentially decrease POIS even if it does not cure it. [] I wonder if beer is on the diet? I need to get the book and I will share any interesting updates on progress.About the "Body Ecology Diet": //www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLP0Ijo2CK4
I think the 'addiction' hypothesis is quite important. I find pornography, etc., can affect and severely aggravate symptoms (to some extent while I watch it, but more, the symptoms that follow orgasm, if I have been watching pornography... I think it intensifies the neurochemical reaction caused by orgasm).

Beer also seems worse than wine, in this sense. But maybe this is related to my seeming (haven't tested yet) reactive hypoglycemia (which I think is quite related to POIS).
i quit drinking anything a few years ago. brewer's yeast tested positive as severe reactant when i took a food reactant test called the (ALCAT)www.alcat.com
I asked my endo how to improve my 75% POIS cure. He said to test Estradiol and other hormones.
As another POIS experiment today (sparked by the usual in-POIS carbs-craving) I drank a "ton" of orange juice throughout the day. That, plus doubling the Rx stimulant-dose(again, with psychiatric approval) as mentioned in the first post at the top of this page, shortened the time of POIS symptoms significantly.I know this goes counter to some people who studiously avoid carbs. But we're all built differently and, I think, have different forms of POIS.
