Erectile dysfunction at 29. No morning wood for years (unless eating lots of starch and fat before bed).

He reversed metabolic problems including ED by following a fluid restricted diet for 2 months.

Fluid restricted diet? Why could not drinking anything be positive for health?

 

[Nomane Euger]

A suggestion for erectile dysfunction or bad metabolic health in general.

Does fluid restriction Include water rich foods like fruits?i have myself notice a pattern of great sex dreams with saturated fat K2 and fluid restrictions days where I did not drink any water I got the best sex dreams,is there any reasoning behind this recommendation?

Fluid restricted diet? Why could not drinking anything be positive for health?

To answer why is hard, even if I have some hypothesis without real proof. There are testimonies of people benefiting from it.

Does fluid restriction Include water rich foods like fruits?i have myself notice a pattern of great sex dreams with saturated fat K2 and fluid restrictions days where I did not drink any water I got the best sex dreams,is there any reasoning behind this recommendation?

This is a good question. Fruits are more osmotically (they contains more minerals) dense than water so it might be less important than limiting water. The guy who wrote the testimony I quoted said that he was limiting his fruit intake though.

There are reasons yes : vitamin K2 is androgenic and there is a possibility that the enzyme it is thought to increase (CYP11A1, the enzyme that is the first step of steroidogenesis) is also involved in reducing the effect of osmotic stress (so water restriction might be helped by CYP11A1 and thus vitamin K2). Saturated fat is good for both steroidogenesis (if I'm not mistaken) and for the production of metabolic water.

See this thread for the general idea about water restriction (and this comment about vitamin K2 in particular):

Water Structure, Osmolytes And Cancer

Could dehydration increase the "detoxification enzymes" aldehyde oxydase / xanthine dehydrogenase? These enzymes both require the element molybdenum, which has been found to be helpful in case of dehydrating conditions in plants. Molybdenum seems to help with osmolytes synthesis or uptake...

Recently, I've begining to think than one of the good features of water restriction might the increase in vasopressin which could be helpful to exit the "torpor metabolism" which could be associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Yes 21-30 days is too short period to do any damage, but if you are going to ejaculate once every 30 days for a year or two, then you are asking for a lot of trouble

what if you do nofap/nosex for 6 months but youre getting wetdreams every few weeks or so

 

[BearWithMe]

I don't know.

But since your d**k is arguably your most valuable asset, I'd err on the side of caution.

I am 29 years old. I come from adhering fairly strictly to the carnivore diet for almost 3 years. I would cheat from time to time. I started eating more carbs and more peaty things around 6 months ago. Morning wood is very uncommon for me and has been for many years. I have noticed the only time i get morning wood is when I eat a lot of starch and fat before bed. The best example is popcorn (one of my favorite cheats of the past) made in lots of saturated fat. Usually ghee, butter, coconut, or even kidney fat (for stearic acid content). It seems like the stearic acid combined with the popcorn starch revvs my metabolism us and satiates me like nothing else. When I eat this, if I wake up any time of the night all the way until morning, I will either have an erection or be pretty flushed.

I recently slept with a woman for the first time in 3 or 4 years and not only did I not have the hardness I know i used to achieve (even throughout all of my carnivore days), but I didn't last long at all, and the orgasm wasn't even very satisfying. I adore this person, and I wasn't really even nervous, so it wasn't that I "wasn't really into it" or something like that. Now I will be nervous. It's been getting to me. I have to do what it takes to fix this. This has mostly become an issue in the past 2 months, because I have tried masturbating and it is difficult to stay hard, even though I can still achieve orgasm, and again, it isn't even very pleasurable.

So what I find interesting is the starch and fat thing. It is the only thing that gives me morning wood. I am going to test it more thoroughly tonight and see if it helps with hardness, because I can't remember if I really filled out or just got an erection from eating like this in the past.

Also, my circulation in general is concerning me lately. I went for a heavy run the other day on the beach and by the end of the run, my toes were falling asleep. I have been getting pins and needles a lot lately.

I have a lot of other issues that may be relevant, but I am struggling to present it all in a coherent manner.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

What helped me increase libido was:
• 1 liter lowfat milk, 4 eggs(I eat the shell), 150 grams white sugar all blended in to a shake (3 times daily). High quallity vitamin e can be added into the mix to battle the pufas in the eggs (prob not needed tho since the eggs are raw and vitamin e intact).
• Either raw grass fed beef liver(risky?) or dessicated undefattend liver tablets that are high quality. I use nutriest.eu and they use no garbage on their grass either (10 grams a day).
• HERBS such as cistanche, cordyceps, ksm-66 ashwagandha, high potency stinging nettle. A good company is Vitajing herbs (good quality and the owner got great youtube content that align alot with Ray's views. He is highly intelligent).
• tobacco (I use swedish snus called "grov"). The grov version has less carcinogens in it. Make sure to take it after a shake cause u need carbs in your body for it not to cause stress
• Supplements: magnesium bicarbonate, niacinamide, b1, b complex. Make sure they are whole food derived or atleast dont have a bunch of garbage in them.
These things make my libido go crazy combined with working out. I have been lucky to always have had good libido tho, dont know if that makes a difference.

!IMPORTANT!
If this causes stomach upset, if you got sibo, ibs or if you dont get good results you can try using mitolife digest it all before meals + adding coptis and dendrobium in the herb mix.

As rick k pointed out about the circilatory type deal, if that works and you wanna maximize blood flow more u can try ginko biloba + codonopsis. Ginko = more co2, codonopsis = more hemoglobin.

I don't know how I forgot about this forum after posting, but I am back... I no longer have issues with getting it up and after reading comments and remembering what I have changed I have a few thoughts. I ran out of taurine a while back. I was taking it regularly. Maybe taurine was a part of the problem, though I think I ran out before I was having the problem so unless the issue lingers, it probably wasn't the issue. I now eat less fat and more carbs (probably the same amount of protein). The third thing that comes to mind is bromantane... I think that somehow bromantane may have been causing erectile dysfunction. My ED seemed to come and go along with the times I was experimenting with bromantane. I can't say for sure though.

I do seem to have a new problem... I don't last. I orgasm very quickly. And in light of this news, it is possible that I never resovled my ED so much as I don't last long enough to go limp. Haha. It is what it is. My girlfriend gets where she needs to be quick enough so its not a problem for us.

 

[username]

But! I still don't really get morning wood... And no I haven't been eating starch at all for a while.

 

[Vins7]

I know that problem too well from the past. What helped me most was a daily low-dose aspirin (100mg) dissolved in hot water with a bit of clean baking soda. In the evening I make a glass of OJ with a scoop of collagen powder and a pinch of salt. Then I drink my aspirin solution afterwards. Sodium bicarbonate and glycine from the collagen prevents any digestive upset by the aspirin for me.

Low dose aspirin could be as potent as viagra but with much fewer side effects.

What helped me besides that was lower fat diet. Fat really impairs my blood flow overall. I now eat more lean red meat with rice for example.

Daily pomegranate juice also caused so many random boners when I started using it. It is well known to improve cardiovascular health.

Ensuring good electrolytes levels is also important for maintaining good blood volume.
Lowering blood pressure could also help if it is elevated - look into calcium:phosphate ratio, vitamin D status, magnesium and potassium intake, lowering aldosterone and the other stress hormones.

Good luck!

How could I know if I'm taking enough electrolytes and how is the form of ensuring good electrolytes levels?
What distribution of fat and macronutrients was problematic for your circulation and what distribution of macro nutrients improved it?

How many carbs, protein and fat is your diet now?

 

[dlind70]

Vitamin D 2000iu minimum controls the morning wood.
Also on the not lasting part. The solution is to increase for raw vegetables, and raw meat. You need the selineium and high quality zinc from raw meats (grass fed is better) to outlast your previous erection. Good luck. also, foods that are commonly not eaten in Western society such as squishy foods like okra and nopalitas, nopales or cooked cactus or raw cactus you can find this in the Mexican store and these foods are good for the colon and downstairs as well. Also carbs at night for instance foods that are related to the cactus for the sugar. I.e. catctus pear (look it up) and pineapple or dragon fruit which is actually another type of cactus fruit and salt to taste help with the issue

Vitamin d reduces morning wood? Why?

I'm not saying this shouldn't be tried but this seems like a classic case of correlation mistaken for causation. There are so many confounding variables in what he did that it's hard to say what exactly helped him.

I can see where less fluids would encourage lower (temporary) inflammation and improve certain things, but even something as simple as temperature of fluids can make a difference. I warm everything I drink up or choose room temperature and notice a diffence in how I feel compared to everything cold from the fridge.

Him becoming what he wants is also a form of placebo, reinforcement of his own belief. He didn't seem to quote any tangible evidence of his conclusion (labs, temp logs, journal entries) just subjective markers. Body builders want to be huge boulders, that doesn't mean once they achieve it that they are healthy.

If you're not getting good sleep that should be your main focus. Sometimes we overlook the simple things. Foundation reinforcement is the first step in addressing any issue imo. Along the same lines your diet that helps seems to be bowel movement encouraging combo, popcorn is quite fibrous and the fat can help it along. Your "ED" could be tied to your "BM" and even circulatory issues.

After considering those things abstaining from porn is really important, people expect everything they want to come easily and when they get everything they want, they lose interest (virtually or in real life). Having self discipline is an important part of being a man, not just being male. Learn to last by training yourself, pull out, set rules for yourself, shift focus, multitask during intercourse etc.. usually you'll reach a threshold where you could last all day, but getting there can be hard (lol), especially if she makes you really excited. Take control and feel masculine, it sounds stupid, but getting that testosterone enhanced confidence, which is achieved by believing in/ proving yourself, goes a long way.

Or..
You could have jacked yourself up good on carnivore and have to address artery issues like other users mentioned.

He said he lost all the weight he gained during his high fluid diet (maybe not in this comment, in another) so that's not really a whole subjective assessment.

Regarding the placebo effect, I've seen enough testimonies of people curing diseases with dry fasting that I can believe fluid restriction could induce such an effect even if they are not fasting.

Two other testimonies of people using the principles Scenes used:

Tried the 36 hour dehydration you mention on another post about 10 days later. This was challenging to complete. I did have a few tiny sips of water during that day, but mainly abstained even though I was thirsty all day. Over the next week my digestion reset itself and cleared up intestinal pain I didn’t realize was a problem until it was gone. Skin texture is smoother. Inflammation in my joints gone. Gums sealed to my teeth better than a dental cleaning.

Dear Mr. Rajinder Singh Bhalla, 7 weeks ago I developed sciatica and while browsing the Internet for some help I’ve found your blog. I strictly followed all your instructions about “One Cure for All Diseases” (including the exercise and walk and rest routines). After five days my sciatica really faded away. So, thank you million times! I have also been a systemic lupus erythematosus patient for about 35 years now, initially with lung and liver involvement, but later lupus also affected my central nervous system. I continued following your instructions and my condition improved, so that I have no pain at the moment. Last week my rheumatologist made some blood tests and he told me that lupus was no longer active. Now I feel much, much better, but I’m still worried because my central nervous system is improving so slowly. So that I can barely walk and move my arms because of my poor coordination and muscle weakness. I hope I’m doing the right thing and I sincerely hope, that you have some additional advice for improving my condition. Thank you in advance! Tina

Vitamin d reduces morning wood? Why?

It doesn't reduce. It increases it

 

[AdR]

Without an in-depth analysis of your circulatory system there are two things you might try. The pins and needles thing may be symptomatic of nerve compression but if circulatory oxygen is the issue you might test this with a one or two time use of Viagra or one of it's competitors. If this gives you a better erection this is almost always indicative of calcification of your circulatory system and needs to be addressed asap. Without knowing your diet, you may be way too low on calcium intake or too high on phosphates which is where you would start. Then add vit k2 (mk4) to your diet along with VitD and A and increase magnesium to go along with this. If the Viagra worked you should be able to reverse any calcification within months but only if you change your diet to accommodate this.

If your calcium/vitd/magnesium intake is already high is mk4 the main nutrient you would use to reverse calcification?

I agree I think dry fasting can be therapeutic, you and I have talked about this before. But when people change many things at once I question the accuracy of their conclusions.

One other mechanism that dry fasting or limited fluids can benefit besides some anti inflammatory action (that'll rebound upon rehydration if causes aren't addressed) is deuterium depletion.

The Peat diet can be quite heavy in deuterium. Does deuterium saturation cause disease? I'm not sure, but there seems to be some correlation.

Maybe it's like cancer where the pathological metabolism causes the mutation as opposed to the mutation causing the cancer. In other words the metabolism, say compromised oxygen utilization or oxygen sinks (iron/ lipofuscin) causing issues with deuterium buildup further slowing things down, as opposed to the deuterium being the direct cause.

Either way depleting it via limiting if fluids, almost all of which are deuterium rich, could have favorable cellular outcomes.
