Extreme Weakness and Weight Loss - Please HelpPosted By himendra (india) on 05/15/2022
Hello, I'm from India,40yrs old. For the past 4 years, I have gradually become weaker and weaker, so much that I cannot do any kind of work. veins are showing on the back of my hand. I am 5.11 inches tall and my weight has come down to 55 kg. I eat raw and boiled vegetables because if I eat bread or any other food like milk it causes constipation and I feel deathly weak after that.
Also if I eat any food that's heavy to digest it blocks my nose. got lab tests done many times in these 4 years but nothing shows up wrong. all blood tests, stool tests, sonography xrays come out normal.
It took 2 years before I could really narrow it down that it is a stomach problem. but I still dont know why my digestion has gone so ultra weak. please help

It's not very well known that excess phosphorus with low calcium/ magnesium intake can cause weakness and loss of muscle. Excess phosphorus can lower kidney and heart function along with general all cause mortality.
I would suggest getting enough calcium / magnesium, making sure that foods with additives are avoided. Phosphorus is added to foods for preservation and flavor.
It seems strange that there are phosphates added to enemas and laxatives to induce stools, but they can worsen constipation.
Magnesium and potassium are usually effective for constipation.
Calcium, magnesium, and niacinamide are good phosphorus binders to lower excess.

That is going to leave some serious nutritional deficiencies.
I would be weak if I ate only veggies.
Read stories on this site for various stomach ailments. I think you begin to get some clues for supplements to try.

You sound like me in the beginning, except I had unexplained pain in different locations at different times. R A symptoms don't make alot of sense & I had no idea all my symptoms were of 1 disease.

It took me 10 years to discover that I had Complex PTSD - which can cause extreme illness because it dysregulates the nervous system. About 9 months ago I started an online course taught by nervous system expert Irene Lyon. She teaches methods and techniques to calm the nervous system. I've gone from bedridden & not able to eat/diges to actually feeling normal some days! I no longer take any supplements, I eat anything I want and my energy is normal again. Check out her website and YouTube channel. I hope you find relief and healing soon!

Fall 2020 I found out that I have CFS/Fibromyalgie, due to Herpes zoster. The following Doctors held a conference. See Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum or Dr. Rodger Murphee, USA. The Vitamin powder of Dr. Teitelbaum, you can order at iherb,com Nature's Way, Fatigued to Fantastic, Energy Revitalization System, Berry, 1.3 lb (612 g). Take for your colon Colostrum and Gastricsoothe, also iherb. Take a Fumic/Acid combination. That`s how I gained weight again. Then also take the Vitamin powder, because of the Proteins. SEE THE Fibro Summit by HealthMeans May 16, until May 22nd, 2022.
If you are already in this condition, they are the two who can help you. You can also book an appointment, but listening to the different talks you learn a lot by yourself. Wishing you all the best

So to rebuild as others wrote, leaky gut, perhaps see if soured milk or a small amount of yogurt will also be a problem.
I was feeling quite lethargic a couple of years ago. Looking back it coincided with Covid, and increased amount of stress in our lives, due to the insane weekly changes in policing our lives. Having started on Life Extension 2-per-Day capsules of multivitamin, very rich in good B-vitamins, suddenly in 2 days had be fully back to normal. We need B vitamins to make energy out of starches. Even vegetables have starches that need to be converted. I would first check the yogurt, if it is no problem, there is likely also a need for you to rebuild the gut.

People have responded with some good answers here and you should definitely look into gut issues, Fibromaylgia with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Disorder and Mold issues. I would highly suggest you start on some Proteolytic Enzymes. I have found Dr's Best the best, you take 3 on an empty stomach every morning and that's it. These will help with inflammation and take pressure of your gut in digesting foods.

Have you thought about doing daily smoothies with a scoop or two of plant-based protein powder? Depletion of protein can cause severe fatigue.
Also, supplement with potassium and magnesium once your protein levels are up.

Most of us have leaky gut of some kind, environmental toxins, etc. We all have emotional trauma sites in our bodies and manifests as physical dis-ease.
Once you’ve explored all of that begin the ROOT CAUSE protocol by Morley. Follow it closely. It truly cures, is practical, brilliantly researched, affordable, and gives you the power to heal yourself at home.
Seek out a naturopathic physician or other functional medicine doctor if you are not cured by this protocol alone.

I also purchased a yoga ball with the intention of using that because my rebounder was backordered but the pump didn't work so I just kept bouncing on the edge of the bed until the rebounder arrived.
It's my understanding that the rebounder does two things, relative to health. It strengthens, not just the muscles, but every cell in the body, all at once, PLUS it multiplies the number of white blood cells which is the greater part of your immune system.
My experience with the rebounding was about a year ago and, now, I loosely follow the cancer protocol with regard to rebounding. I only do it a couple days per week, which is drinking a cup of water and rebounding for 2 minutes every waking hour.
It is reported that 2 minutes of rebounding triples the number of white blood cells and that increase lasts about an hour so you end up with disease fighting white blood cells coursing through your body all day. Which is probably why it's so effective with cancer.
I've also been using "urine therapy" but not fasting. THAT took a while to get past the "yucks" and get started and I haven't had any "exciting" results to report as I had already fully recovered from the covid thing but, with the face massage, my skin IS much "younger", my hair is less gray and my eyesight is improving.
I would definitely urge you to start bouncing on the edge of the bed, right now, because I would expect you to feel better after just a couple of sessions an hour apart and few things are more effective or faster-acting than taming the stress/fear and simply feeling better, when there's something wrong.
Plus, of course, with urine therapy - should you decide to use it - there is no need to know what's wrong. It will simply fix it and the worst thing about it is actually the temperature of fresh urine but you really want to get it straight back into you as that will contain living stem cells which don't live long - one report said less than30 seconds - once exposed to air.
Also, I cut my gum a few days ago which turned into what felt like an abscessed tooth infection and hurt like the dickens. I tried everything, including urine, tea bag, colloidal silver, ClO2 - and nothing touched it.
THEN I slapped myself on the forehead for not doing what I should have done FIRST which was rebound and get some white blood cells circulating. So I did that and forgot all about it. I don't know if it worked that fast or if I just decided it was done once I'd rebounded but I didn't notice it at all, once I'd rebounded for 2 minutes. Even after bellyaching with it for 2 whole days! I'm just saying. Your own immune system will know what's going on and the body will use whatever resources it has to fix the issue and I suspect the very best resource you could provide for anything is urine.

Thank you Cindy, for reminding me about the bouncing!Replied by Madelyn (Idaho) on 05/29/2022
Hi Cindy,
Thank you for sharing your amazing results with rebounding and urine therapy. How do you do the urine massage to include face, eyes, and hair? How often?
Blessings to you!Replied by Kay (Texas) on 06/01/2022
I would take an MRT Food Sensitivity Test. You can have one done through a natural wellness doctor, or you can order one online & do it at home & send it in for the results. It is amazing how much that helped both me and my husband. Like many on here have already said, eating foods that disagree with your system can cause leaky gut syndrome, & that can cause a myriad of other ailments. Leaky gut can heal itself just by eating good food and avoiding what we are "sensitive" to.If you are not eating meat, you need to add a good protein substitute to your daily intake. That alone can make you feel like a million bucks. I understand that there is protein in vegan diets, but when I was vegan I was always sick. Come to find out I wasn't getting the right kind of protein.
Not only that, though. I would also definitely get a full blood panel. A full workup, to determine what vitamins, minerals, etc you might be deficient in. Being on the low side of one thing might throw off necessary balances for our bodies. There's usually an opposite for each vitamin/mineral/etc. For example, if you're too low on Vitamin D, you could have too much calcium roaming around in your blood. If it gets dangerously low, it can cause a heart attack. Most of us could use a nightly low to medium dose of D with MK7.
You might want to get your thyroid levels checked also. Even if it's a little low, it could make you feel bad.
If you are female & still have your uterus, you might be in pre-menopause. Finding someone who will work with you in getting your hormone levels up to where they used to be could make a world of difference. It did for me.
Find a natural wellness doctor who will help you bring levels up that show to be on the low side of normal. Many doctors won't, and that leaves so many of us to suffer.
