Re: How to help the adrenals

Hi all

As you probably all know by now my life is always turned around by

low dose Prednisolone (between 2.5mg - 5mg) together with Armour.

What I mean by this is that I actually get a life back when I go back

on my low dose steroid and I can start to walk my dog, swim and

generally enjoy myself again. It certainly isn't perfect, my

activity is still limited but I feel so much better.

The low bp goes, therefore the dizziness goes, the migraines are so

much better, the orthostatic hypotension goes, the blood sugar is

stable so I don't have to keep eating, my muscles aren't sore (except

immediately after excercise by they soon improve), I have energy to

do things, my brain works very well, my allergies get under control,

my eczema almost disappears and I am happy and feel optomistic about

the future.

I understand that heavy metal poisoning which I definitely have and

know that many others do too with CFS definitely impacts the HPA

axis. The messages don't get through as Rich points out so the only

thing to do is to supplement the hormones our body cannot make. As

long as we stick to low doses we do now harm only good and it would

seem that we need both T3 and T4 as thyroxine only can make some of

us severely toxic and ill.

Meanwhile we can work on getting our methylation/sulfation cycle

going and work on supoorting our liver while we detox. Also I

believe that it is highly likely that we are also going to have to

take quite strong chelators like DMSA if we are really badly

poisoned. I guess the jury is out as whether this is correct or not,

the Yasko treatment hasn't been going on long enough for people with

CFS to know whether we will have to move onto this or not. My main

point is that there are lots of things we can do to feel better in

the meantime for those of us who are basically poisoned by heavy

metals.

Pam,

have you removed your amalgams?

Although Dr. Cheney and Dr. De Meirleir don't think it to be

necessary, of course they suggest doing so, at least you have a

problem less from the possible causes of your CFS.

Cheers,

Massimo

Hi

Yes, I had them safely removed over a 10 month period about 4 years

ago. I had 13 massive amalgams including one gold crown which had

mercury amalagam underneath it, on top of it and either side of it -

about the worst scenario you can imagine.

When the gold crown was placed about 20 years ago I remember it set

up electric shocks but my dentist insisted this was quite normal and

would settle down!!! My intuition told me at the time something bad

was happening but I couldn't find any information in those days

contrary to what he was telling me and didn't really know where to

look. Now I know my brain was badly affected by then and it didn't

work very well.

Unfortunately now we all know differently but unbelievable as it may

seem I have many family/friends who don't in any way see that what

has happened to me should be avoided by them. They seem to think its

just something that has happened to me and they are completely

unaffected.

Its amazing to me that so many people have completely closed minds to

the subject of mercury being harmful and that they feel it is ok for

the dentist to place it in their mouths not far from their pituitary

gland which controls their hormones. Also they have no problems with

the fact that mercury as a preservative is still in some of the

injections their GP might give them.

I am positive it is the reason that the vast majority of people I

know in my age group (almost 60) have problems with their hormones

which go undetected by their doctors because they are " in the normal

range " of standard blood tests. By this I mean problems with weight,

energy, aches and pains, moods, etc. They are happy to go to their

GPs and take his pills which don't really work because they go on

complaining but this seems preferable to them rather than to start

actually looking for reasons why this might be happening. All the

info I have mentioned or shown them completely goes in one ear and

out the other.

They cannot relate to what has happened to me and seem to classify my

problems as psychological despite endless test results showing toxic

chemicals coming from my urine, hair anaylses showing sky high

mercury (5 years ago), and other tests showiwng very abnormally low

ATP etc, etc.

Pam why do you use prednisolone rather than prednisone or hydrocortisone
