I had some blood tests done a few days ago. The results are still coming in one by one, but there are already a few things of note: My ceruloplasmin went up from 23 to 30 between my test in January and my test yesterday. So that's a positive sign. My serum copper levels are 130 ug/dL on a (40-140) scale. So I'm still copper toxic in the blood, which indicates the the minerals I'm taking are removing copper from my tissues into my blood and I'm having a tough time clearing the copper out of the blood. Herman has recommended add more coffee enemas and vitamin c to my protocol. My progesterone level is 0.2 ng/mL on a scale of (.02 to .2). In my hair test, my Potassium is also on the upper bound of normal, so the high progesterone seems to match that. In terms of my symptoms, my recovery after orgasms, which was zero as of even 2 months ago, continues to improve. Additionally my overall health is improved too. I went out for dinner last night, to a 3 hour dinner at a table full of people where i didn't know a single person. And I had a pretty good time. Two months ago I could not have done that. No way, no how.
You can believe in [enemas] all you want. They're dumb and very dangerous. But of course, you're a lot smarter than the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and nearly every medical and scientific source known to mankind.

If it's autoimmune then what's getting attacked?Information:- I'm left handedI've symptoms of mysterious illness that gets worsen by POIS:1)Chronic 24/7 lightheadedness (like I'm not in reality) [Worsen without reaching orgasm, and become severe if reached]2)Chronic dizziness (feeling off balance), very rare vertigo attacks (room spinning, not alleviated by laying down [By laying down headache like state persist, and gets relief by sleep] )3)Overwhelmed by lights, people [Talking without appropriate thinking specially if information is extracted from memory], driving [Slow in taking action], movement, mental activity [Problem solving n puzzle like activities]4)Physical activity (working out) makes me feel more lightheaded, more dizzy [ Dreamy state "Day Dreaming"] 5)Exhausted, burning eyes, light sensitivity "Photophobia" [Specially when using computers or cell phones], Drooping eyelid, Visual problems focusing [Specially when reading either a book, or from an screen monitor of any device]7) Memory problems [Short term specially keeping up with high pace conversations arguing like conversations], and processing speed specially with math, and calculations. [Severe slow down occurs by POIS to a mental retardation level, and very low energy] Depression for prolonged timeOthers have it toohttp://www.medhelp.org/posts/Ear--Nose--Throat/Chronic-Lightheaded-Dizziness-Vertigo-Sensitivity-to-light-and-movement-Vestibular-Rehab/show/1001434

Mostly anyways, one time I started shivering and had the flu at the exact moment I had the O.I've not had fever in POIS for quite a while, but runny nose and weak vision always occurs, I also get speech issues such as stuttering and stammering whilst in POIS and my normally deep voice becomes that of a prepubescent teen lol. POIS is very strange like the gentleman in the latest POIS paper by Dr. Waldinger, I too have a photo phobia I get very depressed and my throat tightens up upon someone taking a photo of me, and it becomes difficult to breathe, must be psychosomatic, it's pretty extreme. Apart from hiding under pseudonyms and avatars, I personally, genuinely don't have any photo's of myself anywhere, I burnt all of them some time ago, I never had this problem when I was younger and before POIS.I don't have very many pictures either and get annoyed when people take them. I don't know why. Very interesting. I should clarify that "photophobia" is hypersensitivity to light, not hypersensitivity to photographs. I've noticed that I have extreme cases of photophobia while in POIS. I can hardly open my eyes on a sunny day. It's even true on somewhat cloudy days. It's literally painful.I believe Waldinger also mentions acousticophobia, or hypersensitivity to noise. This also happens while I'm in POIS. Hearing my cellphone beep or ring makes me want to smash it with a hammer. I get very angry very quickly, which NEVER happens while I'm out of POIS.

My recent posts reflect my personal direct experience working with Herman, which has been invaluable for my progress. While most of those who criticize him, haven't really had a chance to interact with him directly. For what it's worth, I initially judged his stataments arrogant, aggressive and dogmatic before having a chance to know him better. Then I changed my mind, even I still disagree with some of his aggressive attitudes and am skeptical on some of his ideas.I thought it was due to share my experience before leaving. I'm not here to defend anyone who is very able to do it himself.I have never stated that what has worked for me will necessarily work for others. I believe in fact that it's our attitude and being open to change our views that makes the difference, not just some external recipe coming from the above. Besides the things I have seen here in these few months, Herman's approach was the only one which factively helped me. If you still believe that Herman's approach=ceruloplasmin, I'm sorry but you got 1% of what he says.One of the reasons I leave this forum is that I find exhausting, energy draining and time consuming to defend and justify my statements everytime, especially now that I feel better. And explain things I am not able to explain myself 100% from a "scientific" perspective.If Herman's approach won't work for me in the long run (and this sounds like a spell: that day will come when you will need us again...), this is probably not the place where I will find real answers.
