shaky feeling'.

I have heard of people who take low dose cortisol for a period of

time, and then wean off of it, but still use if for stress like

especially for infections. I suppose a person could take it

occasionally for stress if they have a doctor to write the

prescriptions and go along with it.

If the person is finding that only chelation is too stress ful, then I

think it would be best to lower the chelator dose and go a bit more

slowly.

There is so much mis-information about cortisone use I'm just

wondering what options are available and how most of you use it?

I have been taking it everyday for about 3 years. My stress response

is worse than most internet people who have an 's disease

diagnosis. I have to increase for stress. The type of stress I have

to increase for - infections, pain, travel, illness and death in the

family, funerals.

trouble you can either do tapers every 2-3 months (which few people

here do I understand),

I believe Andy did tapers at one time.

or long-term low-dose HC for up to two years while you chelate which

provides the ultimate adrenal cure. Are there any options in between

or other methods of administration that gives options?

There is a post from Andy in the archives here where he talked about

combining long term use and tapers. I can't remember the details.

Search the archives using the keywords

Might find it.
