Not constipated anymore, feel alive again
At the beginning of February, 2019 I started taking these 5 Ancestral Supplements - 2x each per day for the first month, now 1x each per day:
1. Kidney
2. Thymus
3. Beef Liver
4. Beef Pancreas
5. Beef Spleen
Since April, 2019 I've added these 6 - 2x each per day except the beef brain, which I'm taking 1x day:
6. Bone Marrow
7. Gallbladder
8. Beef Brain
9. Trachea
10. Beef Heart
11. Beef Lung
I noticed the biggest difference when I started taking the Bone Marrow and Gallbladder - the Bone Marrow arrived first and within 2 days I had more energy, better digestion, and my skin started glowing. A couple days later, the Gallbladder arrived and within a day and consistently since I have been more regular in the mornings and feel like my bowel movements are "complete." So I'll say those two are my favorites!
How I felt before: at the beginning of January, 2019 I started having a low-level headache and brain fog. I paid attention because I never get headaches. Then I started feeling really tired. My tonsils (especially on the left side) became enlarged and beefy red with white spots towards the end of January. For several months prior I was getting geographic tongue periodically - not sure if it was related but it was definitely agitated by alcohol, sugar, and excessive dairy. My doctor prescribed me a 10-day course of amoxicillin and the tonsil issue went away but my lymphs (more so on left side) became swollen and tender as soon as I finished the antibiotics. I also had extreme fatigue and was sleeping 9-10 hours at night and then again for hours during the day. My digestion seemed even more sluggish than usual. It felt like my body was shutting down. I went and got blood tests and STD tests and everything was in the normal ranges and negative, respectively. I thought it could be mono because the symptoms matched almost perfectly but that test came out negative.
I wouldn't be surprised if whatever is happening (and hopefully fading) is stress-related. The last 3 years have been challenging to say the least. I've gotten divorced, moved 4 times, changed jobs 3 times... at the beginning of February I was in the middle of moving and driving across the country to be closer to family. Maybe it's just my body demanding a break now that it finally feels safe again?
Anyway, I ordered the first 5 supplements and they helped me feel like I wasn't dying... if I felt tired or like I was going to crash I took 1 more of each of them and they helped to boost my energy. Throughout March, 2019 it felt like I was steadily improving, no more headaches, lymph swelling going down, less fatigue. Then I decided to order the other 6 supplements after reading other people's reviews. In the last couple of weeks, I have been feeling noticeably better. The geographic tongue is subsiding. I have started exercising again. Not as hardcore as I normally would but I now have the energy to do it and feel more energized when I do.
Prior to all of this, I have dealt with some other health issues. Since I was a kid I was a sugar addict... now I move in and out of keto/carnivore but definitely have had to deal with yeast overgrowth and constipation issues because of how much junk I ate in the past. I've gotten acupuncture over the years and all of them have said my spleen was "stagnant" and I had yeast problems. TMI twelve years ago I got parasites from a summer in China. I also dealt with mercury poisoning from eating too much fish in my 20s but levels are back down now. So it feels like my body has old physical stuff it's still healing from and then a layer of emotional trauma that is requiring some healing as well. I'm not sure where I'd be without Ancestral's supplements, they've really helped.
Hope this helps someone else.
