Re: Cramps and Cortiscosteroids (Cortef isocort Prednisolone etc.)

Looks great, but why does it have to have the licorice root in it? Licorice

root increases cortisol in people whose adrenals can still create more

cortisol. My colon cleanser already has some in it, so I would not be able

to take this product, it would be too much with both of them together. I've

been having those cramps in the feet and legs at night lately, and I'm

wondering why, being as I'm getting pretty good nutrition. Both my feet

will draw up at the same time, as though it is actually a central

circulation problem. If it was just one of them, I don't guess it would

scare me as much.

Interesting point

Lot of stuff with licourice root in them.

I assume when it is listed at the bottom like that it has a small

amount.

I remember reading something that said licorice root shouldn't be

taken long term, but most things I have read are more positive. Can

you tell me more about your view as I do not wish to take more than

is good for me.

What colon cleanser are you using if you don't mind me asking. I am

thinking of ordering an oxygen based one to see what happens. I am

kind of an over acheiver in the pooping department but am 54 so who

knows what could be lining my intestinal walls.

I have been doing the gall bladder/liver flushing thing because my

Cholestrol is some ridiculous number like 420/250 so I really need

those electrolytes.

Alacer Emer'gen-C is another really good product without the

licorice but is quite expensive in Canada. Much cheaper in the US

which is odd as it is manufactured in Canada.

Hope you are doing well and enjoying the weekend.

I am taking the AIM Fiberblend, but I'm not doing regular enemas with any of

the things mentioned by others. It is not any kind of an organized thing,

as I just take 2 tsps in a glass of drinking water twice a day, at this

time. The label says three times a day, but it seems to be a bit too much

to me, at this point. I may increase to the three times in a couple of

weeks, but I will stay on it only for the 3 months, then I will ease off to

3 times or so a week, the way I did the last time I took this. You can look

it up on the web for the ingredients, there's a list of herbs in there as

long as your arm. I'm really not all that sure that they are all agreeable

to the thyroid hormones. I just know that I feel better after taking the

stuff for the last many wks.
