Re: Advice needed on HC dose

[Guest guest]

>>1. Bite the bullet and increase HC to 30 mg (10-10-5-5)and see what

happens. It's very important that I know how many days I can try

this experiment before I risk permanantly suppressing the adrenals.

2. Drop my morning dose to 5 mg and take 4 doses of 5 mg instead of

a 10-5-5. This to allow the ACTH to increase in the morning and get

my adrenals going a bit. I was doing 4 doses of 4 in the beginning,

but I found that I started feeling effects of low cortisol about 2

hours or so after the first dose, so I upped it to 10.

3. Stay on my current dose. Take sea salt 2x a day and vitamin C

on a consistent basis.<<

OK number 3, you should have been doing all along. Healing your adrenals

requires COMMITMENT. Then TRY changing your doses areound. What works for one

might not work for another, but if you have already tried the 5-5-5-5 I doubt it

will work nowe better than before. But try it, but only for a month, if thta

doesn;t work, number 1 should be tried.

>>Can someone tell me the best place to purchase sea salt and the best kind? I

bought what I thought was great from Whole Foods but once home I discovered it

has no iodine in it!<<

All unrefined sea salt has traces of iodine in it, but if oyu are wanting to

supplement with iodine I would suggest Lugol's Iodine or Iodoral. I buy Lugol's

from www.jcrows.com and i BUY cELTIC sE sALT FROM

so you're saying I should do the sea salt and Vit C before doing

anything else? Or do it in conjunction with the 4 doses of 5 mg?

What should I do with my Armour dose? Seems like I'm either hypo or

hyper, but can't get well. I was tolerating 4 grains fairly well at

one time, but got hyper symptoms when I reached 4.5 and started

cutting back. Now I can't get on a dose I'm okay with. Either hypo

or hyper and always feeling bad.

I don't understand why I'm having all these problems when my

original cortisol tests weren't all that bad. And why I was fine

for awhile on 20 mg, then started having problems.

Thanks, .

I would do it all together. Salt helps the adrenals as does vitamin c

And the Vitamin C recommendation is to bowel tolerance?

What is the sea salt recommended dose?

I read that sea salt and Vit C are also recommended in treating Lyme Disease

Vitamin C to bowel tolerance then back off just a tad, sea salt 1/4-1/2 tsp

twice a day in a full glass of PURE water.

Okay, I'm trying switching to 5 mg 4 x a day to see if this helps my

adrenals at night. Today is my first day. I noticed that you said

in another post that sugar cravings are adrenal. I have huge sugar

cravings, always have. Could this mean my adrenals are in worse

shape than I thought? My saliva tests showed mild adrenal fatigue,

but maybe it's worse than I realized.

I was having trouble with getting my Armour dose correct and

couldn't get to a dose where I wasn't hyper or hypo. My afternoon

temps show 98.6. They just fall in the evening. Should I stay at

my current Armour dose and hope the change with adrenal support

helps my hypo symptoms? Or should I try raising?

Thanks,

Amy

I would stay at your current dose for at least 2 weeks to give th adrenal

support time to adjust in your body.
