Re: CORTISONE=FAT=ThankYou

Thanks you so much.

That REALLY helped to clarify my understanding of the situation.

I got to go through EXTREME grief and stress in my life over the last 18

months and I know it has not been easy on my body adding all that.

I will order some CORTEF right away.

DO you know of a cheaper, but good source ? (Naturally, I will not be having

a prescription.)

Well, you're right in one sense, depending on the person's situation. For

instance, if a person has low cortisol, too low, then they probably also

have some hypoglycemia, low blood sugar, because cortisol causes certain

chemical reactions happen to regulate all that, when it's working the way it

should. On the other hand, if a person already had a high blood sugar

because the insulin was unable to " put it in their cells " properly, even

though there was a lot of insulin floating around out there (too much too

soon, but with insensitive cellular receptors, I guess it could be a

problem. BUUUTTTT, these are not pharmaceutical, pharmacological doses of

cortisol, they are physiological doses, so, whatever production you already

have would lessen according to what you are taking by mouth (let's say 10 to

20 mgs of Cortef only). This is what is meant by the idea of simply

" resting the adrenals " for a period of time, with your P.O. dose, so that

the adrenals can recover. That amt of Cortef will NOT " add to " , it will

only help to rest the adrenals. Dosages, I believe, above the 30 mg mark

are what's in question here, when it comes to other chemical changes, or

sending the adrenals into add-on. The adrenals will rest to whatever degree

that is added on, with the low dosages. The whopping doses they give for

inflammation and such are the dangerous ones. That's why they say to taper

the dose and don't have another regimen of it for awhile, or don't continue

it. This is a whole different thing that even doctors seem to get confused

about. Everyone considered it taboo to replace in anything less than

's Disease, before everyone knew differently.

Have you done the saliva tests for the 4 different times a day? It would be

good if you did this first to determine whether you really are low. ZRT

Labs online is a good one to do this, without a prescription for it. I

forget their web address, but someone else will know it. If you've already

stated that you've had these, please forgive me, but I forget sometimes who

said what already, lol! You could bring the results back here, and we could

help you determine what they mean, if you want. I haven't had them yet, as

I have to spend on the lab work so much of the time.

Yeah lack of money is my problem too. Also lack of energy & strength to get all

this stuff done. It's so much to learn & do.
