Adrenal Fatigue & Exhaustion

March 5, 2006

Below is from another list I am on and may help some with adrenal

insufficiency that are afraid of Hydrocortisone:

I agree also. I was on Cortef as part of a program to heal my adrenals

and did beautifully with it until I was able to switch to adrenal

glandulars. No side effects at all - just a basis for healing. It is

certainly true that high dose steriods are very dangerous but that is

totally different than low dose hydrocortisone. For anyone who wants

to understand this more I recommend the book, Safe Uses of Cortisol by

Jefferies. He did a lot of great work.

That was good to read. As you, I'm already on HC but i hope to stop it once my

thyroid is

up to speed. But what do you or others consider to be a physiologic dose. 30mg

and

under?
