To all my followers you may have been wondering what happened to me. I have been battling a mysterious disease that was onset by taking antibiotics. From the time I was 22 until I was about 30 years old I suffered from this and I cured it by focusing on an antifungal, diet + exercise regime which I detailed in a different post. The main symptom is prostate pain and when I lived in Chicago I saw the #1 urologist at Northwestern University who told me straight up that 25% of men who get prostate pain have to live with it... so for a while that's what I did.

It wasn't until I heard a podcast with Dr. Rav Ivker who explained a protocol to combat fungal overgrowth in the body cited here: http://www.sinussurvival.com/docs/Sinus-Survival-Candida-Guide.pdf

Most western doctors won't even touch this subject and after countless hours of research into various NIH studies I found that fungus is almost impossible to detect in the prostate. So three years ago I built the protocol and cured myself.

I honestly never thought I would have to deal with this again, I thought I was free from those symptoms. So in the 3 years I spent cured I didn't really focus much on my diet, health and fitness. I was drinking beer, eating Doritos for dinner and then I started to suffer from chronic stomach pain. I went and saw a doctor and they gave me some Cipro (antibiotic). I was a bit fearful of taking an antibiotic because I did feel that it only made my symptoms in the past worse but never did I think a 3 day course would bring it all back with a vengeance, but it did.

The worst part is that 3 years ago I cured myself in 6 weeks and I've been on my strict protocol now almost 11 weeks. I've had many die-off reactions called herxheimer reactions which are deliberating. The Herx reaction causes your symptoms to get much worse before they get better and it really messes with your mind too, because it makes you wonder if what you are doing is working.

Not to mention microorganisms are tricky and I think that I have got some resistance built of from too much experimentation. Today I'm feeling quite well, but yesterday was one of the worst days of my life. On a scale of 0-10 I felt pain at about a 9. When you're experiencing that kind of pain, there is no meditating, there is no having fun, nothing can take your mind off it. The only thing I learned that does work is running.

When I run I find that at first it's very difficult, I dwell on the pain but I don't care about the pain from running, whether in shape or not or if my legs are tired.

I don't know who this will help, there is a site called curezone a lot of people with similar symptoms talk about how they cured themselves and almost all of it sounds "woo woo" and it's not conventional thinking. But, in my case, I've seen all the urologists, I've seen the top one. I've gone to infectious disease doctors. Literally the doctors tried everything on me, 3 years of various antibiotic courses, alpha blockers, antidepressants, prostate massage. Some things helped alleviate the symptoms a bit for some time then it stopped working altogether.

I hope I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel, like I said today is a good day so I have the willpower to write again. The thing about going through this is it makes me realize the #1 thing, good health. I believe that's why God has brought these symptoms back, so I never forget and I live a long healthy life for my boy who's only 2 now. I pray everyday that I will be cured again, I don't want to alleviate the symptoms, I have to be cured and I know it's possible no matter what the doctors tell me. I'm the kind of guy who if I had HIV I would convince myself I'll be the one who cures it with some crazy diet and Chinese medicine... that may be a little far fetched.

I probably won't be nearly as active as I once was, this has changed me. I really don't care about Hive right now or anything going on with Crypto. I'm just focusing on what really matters to me, my health, my son, my livelihood. From the outside looking in, you'd think I have a great life and it's true I do. Now I want to be able to appreciate it, I'm determined to focus on only that.
