commonly overlooked causes of adrenal fatigue is chronic or severe infection that gives rise to an inflammatory response. Such infection can occur sub-clinically with no obvious signs at all.

LOL--, what I take is a licorice root pill. There is no taste! It's an herbal supplement. Not the candy! Licorice root actually helps stop the breakdown of cortisol, so that you get the benefit of it longer in your body. A good herb for those who have low cortisol. Cortef is the drug name of hydrocortisone. PattyU R Love <wwwurlove0902@...> wrote: Patty, what if you can't take licorice because
