Re: Adrenal ?s...Andy?

Dear ,

Please don't laugh, at least not too loudly :-)

I have battled with weight gain for several years,

and last spring I picked up a Sansone

" Walk Away the Pounds " tape from my local

Target store. I got the 2 and the 3 mile tape.

I started using it everyday, and I by this fall

I was 25 pounds lighter. The thing I like about

her program is I never hurt myself on it. The

movements were gentle on my joints, and

the rigor increases gradually, so while you

get a workout, you don't overdo it. Sansone

talks alot during her tapes, but that doesn't

bother me so much. Maybe this will be easier

for you than the stationary bike.

:-)

Detox.

Check sex hormone levels.

Try isocort and watch the scale daily.

Try complete thyroid hormone, not just T3. .. . . . . . .
