Wrote a private msg and might as well share:
I want to inform you that I just can't continue with my health in this condition. Although I thought I had some improvement, this is relative to the horrible condition I was in July to Sept, wherein I could barely function at all. I realize I am not functioning at a high level and still quite ill.
There is some problem with my digestive system (colon, intestine, gall bladder, pancreas, and/or liver) and I have permanent black circles around my eyes. I've been eating only coconut milk mixed with very high doses of curcumin powder, fish, and rice. I still had pain and unable to perform normally but was slightly improved. I tried drinking apple juice as it is supposed to aid digestion, especially dissolve any gall stones I might have. The result was my worse symptoms flared up again.
Bottom line is I can't perform normally in this condition. It is a constant malaise.
I will try to find a Philippine doctor today to give me an ultrasound, endoscopy, etc.. More or less I don't think the doctors here are professional and qualified, but I can't really afford to go abroad for treatment.
Depending on the findings, I might need a highly experimental treatment which is a fecal transplant (transferring fecal matter from a healthy person into my anus). I don't believe it is done here in the Philippines, perhaps only in Italy, Argentina, and Australia. If I travel to one of the those and pay the high cost, I will nearly consume all the funds I have (or let's say at least 50% of them). So I might have to try to do it myself here, which is not ideal because the donor candidate will not have been properly tested for diseases, fecal matter not processed in a laboratory, etc..
Any way, I want you to know that my behavior at this time is not my normal self. I can barely see sometimes. Barely think. Pain. Headaches, lack of energy to be upright and think. etc..
I am really in a bad predicament. I am so capable that I could totally shock the crypto world if I am healthy. but in this condition, I am nearly useless.
It is extremely frustrating. But I can't go on any longer like this. I can't cope. I must try to do something and today.
I'm sorry that you're still having problems with your health. If I was you I'd make it a priority to find a way of getting back to the US to get proper treatment. If the glutathione and anti-biotics didn't work as intended then you have to concede there are variables in play that you are seemingly not aware of - variables that you may still not be aware of. Can you afford wishful experimentation in regards to fecal transplants?
If I was of limited funds I'd sooner want to get a full range of blood tests that covers everything from Lyme disease, candida, cancer, liver functionality, testosterone, cholesterol, white count, red count, C-reactive protein, ACE, allergies etc.
Get the diagnostics right first before pressing any buttons.
I have to agree with totally with what you say.
Hey Buddy,I really enjoy reading your posts but I'd rather think you were concentrating on getting a proper diagnosis and getting your health on track
At the end of the day our health is more important than anything,don't delay
I got the full range of blood work available in Davao yesterday (which is limited but they can check for some markers for cancer and also liver). I was fasting last night and headed in for a full abdominal ultrasound this morning, to be followed by endoscopy within days. I don't know my result yet. I don't think she checked for fungus such as candida. I will ask her about that.
The gastroenteritis pushed on all my digestive organs and no pain. Rather the pain is on the rib bones, very strange. She said the area of my pain is the stomach, so she suspects GERD. GERD doesn't make any sense to me as I have no symptoms of acid reflux that I can detect. The pain on my bones makes think general inflammation, autoimmune problem (perhaps caused by leaky gut?), or cancer. She said the symptoms I described and my stool, doesn't seem to indicate a problem with the colon.
She had me stop the coconut milk and I didn't take curcumin yesterday. I ate raw tuna + cucumber in a dish named kinilaw and purchased some wild black rice to mix with the white, and I slept very well. But one day doesn't mean anything in this long saga.
I spent most of the day outside in the sun yesterday walking around because I had to go to several hospital clinics to find a doctor who could see me immediately and I had to drop my car at an aircon specialist since my aircon died this week also. It seems I felt better being outside. I currently work from the bedroom without any natural light at all, and I am in the aircon 24 x 7. So I purchased a ceiling fan and am preparing to move my desk to the upstairs living room which has a window and a screen door to the balcony. It is I guess plausible that the environment is making me ill without any continuous fresh air. I should have made this change long ago, but I was so ill that it was difficult to make any thought process or action. Perhaps also the continuous foruming and fighting petty nonsense word battles with trolls also contributing to not having the time to focus and losing energy on non-productive actions. If I had shotgun and some troll targets... (joke)
Tropical Mindanao near the equator, but I am well adjusted to the heat. I am quite slim right now with flat abs about 68 kilos for 170cm, down from 80+.
Hopefully you will get a diagnosis man, my mother in law underwent cancer treatments at St Lukes in Quezon City which was a clean modern facility, might be worth a trip there perhaps.
That is where they gave me an intern who butchered my eye. Before he touched it, I could still see, it was just lens had fallen into the eye (after a gang attacked in Subic because my ex was flipping them the middle finger) so I was seeing the wrong direction. After he was done, 90% retinal detachment. I flew to the USA and got one of the best eye surgeons in the country who managed to reattach some portion and save the eye (barely as the pressure declined to 0 and he was ready to remove it, but I fought on).
Note one of the many ways I lost my former wealth is spending $100,000s on my eye because I had no health insurance. Another was buying 5 acres near College Station, TX in 2001 and then the next week my wife (ex now) decided she didn't want live there, so I sold it at a $40,000 loss. Another way I lost my wealth, was investing in gold & silver and the cheats are pervasive in this business. One of the ways I lost my wealth was my own stupidity for carelessly following Graham Summers and speculating with $75,000 on options in 2012 on an imminent decline in China's stock market. But the reason I did that was again due to my ex who had yanked my kids from the Philippines suddenly (showed up without warning as I was still ill from the acute peptic ulcer ER hospitalization) and so my mental state was all messed up by the health issue and I thought I needed to win big in order to have the wealth to fight back. I proceed to loose $75,000 of my remaining $150,000 savings and thus when rpietila was talking to me about buying Bitcoin at $10 in January 2013, I could not risk my remaining $50,000 on it. So I advised him to go ahead but I couldn't join.
Here is a photo of me in the day wherein I was attacked in front of a disco that evening December 1, 1999:
