Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Cherie, How were your cortisol levels? Mine were very high. My thyroid is low and I'm suffering from adrenal fatigue. My ND is going to re-test me in a couple of months for other hormones like progestrone because I just got off of the birth control pill last month. I hope we'll start feeling great soon!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Stress, very simply. The implants are " Stress " to the body. They are foreign, so the immune system sees them as a threat, and it works overtime to get rid of them. That's why we build up scar tissue, as the immune system is trying to wall them off to protect the body. In response, the adrenal glands pour out more cortisol. Eventually they will be exhausted.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Steph, It depends on what stage you are in and your own body chemistry. My doc said 3-12 months for Stage 1. Lots of factors play into it as well such as stress level, amount of rest and diet. Love, PH > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi everyone.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Well, I looked that up, and I am not going to go against what your doctor has given you. I see that is has all the nutrients needed for proper adrenal support. However, I noticed that it has licorice root in it. Licorice should only be used by those with LOW cortisol, because it slows down the breakdown of cortisol in the liver, therefore, keeping more available. But if you already have too much cortisol, the last thing you want to do is slow down the breakdown. Wouldn't you agree? You might want to check out adding some Phosphorylated Serine instead.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Steph, DHEA has been banned here in Canada. Do you know why they would ban this drug, or is it a supplement? My Cortisol levels were very low, and my doctor managed to get some DHEA, but it did not help me. I wonder if I was getting a placebo, because it would be illegal to get the real thing!

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hi Lea, it's a supplement but I did find this article regarding it being banned in Canada: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has a bad reputation in Canada. This essential natural hormone is contemptuously labeled a " steroid " by some medical bureaucrats. With vague references to its use by athletes, they dismiss DHEA as being akin to anabolic steroids, which have no normal function in the human body. These health officials seem to have little idea of what a steroid is, seem unaware that their bodies make DHEA (and dozens of other steroids) every day, and generally exhibit knowledge of human biochemistry that might qualify them to pare toenails. As a result, arbitrary regulations confine DHEA to special prescription status in Canada, with few approved indications for its use in medical treatment. Such senseless restriction deprives the Canadian public of a most important biochemical substance. It is non- toxic in any sensible dose and is essential for the prevention of degenerative disease. I should mention that following submissions to the government to remove restrictions on DHEA by some members of the medical profession, it has become available under the counter. Canadian authorities seem to be turning a blind eye, except for occasional media-invited, highly publicized raids, in which some unfortunate shopkeeper is arrested and fined. Most members of Joe Public, however, are rightly wary of buying banned substances since it is considered a crime to possess it without a prescription. It's time the science of DHEA became widely known. In this series of articles I will present the science of DHEA, both to disseminate the information, and in the hope that someone in Ottawa may be listening. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi everyone.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Thanks Patty, I'm going to mention it to him. Once your cortisol is lowered would I still have to take the other supplement that you mentioned to keep it lowered? I'm just wondering if it'll return back to normal.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Steph, You could take the licorice root when your cortisol goes down, if you think you need it. Hopefully by then, your adrenals will be healed. It can take up to two years for the adrenals to recover, but once recovered, you shouldn't have to do anything special, except AVOID STRESS, and take good care of yourself!!!
