Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 This sounds like typical guff from the AMA. They are so scared they are going to lose control over us!! Deborah Check this out You have got To check out this web site. I couldn't list everthing this dr talks about http://www.quackwatch.org/index.html The Mercury Amalgam Scam: How Anti-Amalgamists Swindle People An extensive review published in 1993 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services concluded that " there is scant evidence that the health of the vast majority of people with amalgam is compromised or that removing fillings has a beneficial effect on health. " DHEA: Ignore the Hype The Food and Drug Administration isn't sure what to do with DHEA supplements. Ten years ago the agency told companies to stop selling DHEA, which was marketed at the time for weight loss, and classified it as an unapproved new drug, obtainable only by prescription. Then in 1994, DHEA was reclassified as a dietary supplement, allowing sales over the counter. Dubious Diagnostic Tests Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratory offers many other dubious tests that are ordered by practitioners who engage in nonstandard diagnosis and treatment. The situation so egregious that Aetna has issued a coverage policy bulletin about some of GSDL's test panels [5]. Wild Yam Cream " Threatens Women's Health Thus, not only is there little reason to suppose that Wild Yam Cream would be helpful for the medical conditions for which it is being promoted, but it doubtful that it ever could be as useful as synthetic progesterone. Don't Trust Advice from Health-Food Retailers! The investigators stated that their goiter was being treated with thyroid hormone and asked whether any of the store's products would help. All ten retailers said yes. Two advised stopping the hormone treatment, six advised kelp, two advised iodine tablets, two advised a raw-gland preparation containing thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary and adrenal gland extracts, and one advised a raw thyroid preparation. (Health-food-store products made from animal glandular tissues are not legally permitted to contain potent amounts of hormones. Some do, however, as noted in Appendix C, but they are not reliable because the dosage is variable.) Promoters of Questionable Methods Each of the following has been involved in some way with the promotion or administration of questionable health products and/or services. Many of them have written at least one book that I believe contains invalid information. E. Denis , MD* R. Lee, MD Stay Away from Adrenal Cortical Extract (ACE Adrenal cortical extract (ACE) has no legitimate medical use. Although banned from the American marketplace in 1978, it is still prescribed by a few hundred fringe practitioners. This article describes what happened and why you should stay away from anyone who recommends it. Nonrecommended Web Sites Sites Recommended with Reservations These major sites are mostly reliable but have " blind spots " that damage their credibility. Their reliable parts can be very useful, but some parts should be disregarded or viewed with caution.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Thanks for posting this. Here is one clip of one of those articles that concerns me about supporting our adrenals: " Prolonged daily treatment with more than replacement dosage of adrenocortical steroids produces major complications sooner or later in virtually all patients. Some of these complications, such as suppression of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal responsiveness and gastrointestinal hemorrhage, may be life-threatening; other effects, such as Cushing's disease, severe osteoporosis, or suppression of growth in children, are also serious. Administration of corticosteroids in a single dose every other day, instead of the usual divided daily doses, may avoid or minimize these adverse effects. " I have pure sublingual adrenal drops, and now I am worried about using them. I have always been skeptical but have felt like I would do " ANYTHING " to start feeling better. Anybody else here have reserves about using adrenal support? I definitely show the signs (according to Dr. Rind), but the adrenal support I have used does not seems to work for me.

I read an article yesterday that was talking about osteoporosis and the Dr who wrote the article described 7.5mg daily for more than 6 months as a high dose and also an increased risk of osteoporosis quote " Watch out for steroids - these are used to treat a range of serious conditions and doctors prescribe them only when there is no other choice. If you must take them, ask about other medicines you can also take to protect your bones. These should now be offered routinely to people taking high doses of steroids (7.5mg or more daily) for six months or longer.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Hi, Is Prednisolone like Prednisone in that it's 4 times stronger than Cortef? Just wondering. I know Cortef is recommended 20 mg. a day. Usually 10 in the morning 5 maybe 4 hours later and another 5 either 4 hours later or bedtime. Something like that. This would make sense since he says 5 mg. a day. in Va. ----- In a message dated 6/24/2004 10:43:30 AM Eastern Standard Time, alison.ashwell@... writes: > read an article yesterday that was talking about osteoporosis and > the Dr who wrote the article described 7.5mg daily for more than 6 > months as a high dose The recommended dosage for adrenal support is 5.0 prednisolone per day.
