By last October I'd seen great gains from 6 weeks on the Freddd Protocol:
Gut much more stable
Brainfog gone
Sleep 2 hours less per night
Physical energy better during the day - no more fatigue
Gained 3 kg (good)
Psoriasis faded but it didn't last
Libido much higher
Halved hydrocortisone dose to 10mg/day (then 5)
Better blood-sugar response (less knocked around by carbs)
Improved motor skills, e.g. typing
Better exercise tolerance
Better mental functioning: thinking faster, planning, making decisions, etc
Oily nose (despite lowering HC)
Daytime temps (not waking temps) normalised - 36.9 or 37 consistently
By April this year the gains had disappeared. The exceptions were oily nose & weight gain. (I've always been skinny with dry skin.) A near-return to my old state. So:
* I doubled the dosages for 10 days. No effect.
* I went off the protocol altogether. No change, for better or worse.
* Lately two or three times I've taken 10,000 mcg AdoCbl, & a day later 800 mcg m-folate & 5,000 mcg mB12 (all sublingual). No effect.
Does anyone have an idea of what's happening?
In recent months I've diagnosed & treated pyroluria, which has wiped out my anxiety - a blessing. But I'm not especially well. Energy & focus are both low. Presently hydrocortisone, T3, DHEA, & support supps are propping me up. I was flying last year on much lower doses of all these.
* Have I 'filled up' on the DQ, & don't need any more?
* Am I iodine deficient?
* Was the whole thing placebo effect?
Thanks to all...
